proceed_v therefore_o to_o the_o proose_v of_o our_o part_n your_o lordship_n can_v but_o know_v many_o of_o they_o must_v be_v already_o spend_v in_o the_o answer_n which_o we_o have_v make_v to_o

from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n preservation_n of_o life_n natural_a liberty_n which_o every_o beast_n or_o bird_n seek_v and_o affect_v natural_o the_o society_n of_o man_n and_o wife_n whereof_o

tend_v to_o abridge_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o law_n favour_v not_o they_o but_o take_v they_o strict_o even_o as_o our_o law_n have_v a_o excellent_a rule_n that_o custom_n of_o town_n and_o

that_o your_o lordship_n can_v judge_v the_o law_n for_o the_o other_o side_n except_o the_o case_n be_v luce_n clarius_fw-la and_o if_o it_o appear_v to_o you_o but_o doubtful_a as_o i_o think_v no_o

because_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o law_n furthermore_o as_o the_o law_n of_o england_n must_v favour_v naturalisation_n as_o a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o it_o do_v favour_v it_o according_o for_o be_v it_o not_o much_o to_o make_v a_o subject_a naturalize_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n it_o shall_v suffice_v either_o place_n or_o

parent_n it_o skill_v not_o though_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o spain_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n of_o the_o world_n in_o such_o sort_n do_v the_o law_n of_o england_n open_v her_o lap_n to_o receive_v in_o people_n to_o be_v naturalize_v which_o indeed_o show_v the_o wisdom_n and_o excellent_a composition_n of_o our_o law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o a_o warlike_a and_o magnanimous_a nation_n sit_v for_o empire_n for_o look_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o such_o kind_n of_o estate_n have_v be_v ever_o liberal_a in_o point_n of_o naturalisation_n whereas_o marchantlike_a and_o envious_a estate_n have_v be_v otherwise_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o law_n join_v with_o authority_n i_o do_v first_o observe_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o our_o assertion_n or_o affirmation_n be_v simple_a and_o plain_a that_o it_o suffice_v to_o naturalisation_n that_o there_o be_v one_o king_n and_o that_o the_o party_n be_v natus_fw-la ad_fw-la sidem_fw-la regis_fw-la agreeable_a to_o the_o definition_n of_o littleton_n which_o be_v alien_n be_v he_o which_o be_v bear_v out_o of_o the_o allegiance_n of_o our_o lord_n the_o king_n they_o of_o the_o other_a side_n speak_v of_o respect_n and_o quoad_fw-la and_o quatenus_fw-la and_o such_o subtlety_n and_o distinction_n to_o maintain_v therefore_o our_o assertion_n i_o will_v use_v three_o kind_n of_o proof_n the_o first_o be_v that_o allegiance_n can_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o law_n or_o kingdom_n but_o to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n because_o the_o allegiance_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v more_o large_a and_o spacious_a and_o have_v a_o great_a latitude_n and_o comprehension_n than_o the_o law_n or_o the_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v a_o dependency_n of_o that_o without_o the_o which_o it_o may_v of_o itself_o subsist_v the_o second_o proof_n which_o i_o will_v use_v be_v that_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o the_o king_n have_v a_o operation_n and_o influence_n into_o his_o body_n politic_a aswell_o as_o his_o body_n politic_a have_v upon_o his_o body_n natural_a and_o therefore_o that_o although_o his_o body_n politic_a of_o king_n of_o england_n and_o his_o body_n politic_a of_o king_n of_o scotland_n be_v soverall_a and_o distinct_a yet_o nevertheless_o his_o natural_a person_n which_o be_v one_o have_v a_o operation_n upon_o both_o and_o create_v aprivity_n between_o they_o and_o the_o three_o proof_n be_v the_o bind_a text_n of_o five_o several_a statute_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o allegiance_n be_v of_o a_o great_a extent_n and_o dimension_n than_o law_n or_o kingdom_n and_o can_v consist_v by_o the_o law_n mere_o because_o it_o begin_v before_o law_n it_o continue_v after_o law_n and_o it_o be_v in_o vigour_n where_o law_n be_v suspend_v and_o have_v not_o their_o force_n that_o it_o be_v more_o ancient_a than_o law_n appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o beginning_n by_o way_n of_o inducement_n where_o i_o do_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o original_a age_n of_o kingdom_n be_v govern_v by_o natural_a equity_n that_o king_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o lawgiver_n that_o the_o first_o submission_n be_v simple_a and_o upon_o confidence_n to_o the_o person_n of_o king_n and_o that_o the_o allegiance_n of_o subject_n to_o hereditary_a monarchy_n can_v no_o more_o be_v say_v to_o consist_v by_o law_n than_o the_o obedience_n of_o child_n to_o parent_n that_o allegiance_n continue_v after_o law_n i_o will_v only_o put_v the_o case_n which_o be_v remember_v by_o two_o great_a judge_n in_o a_o great_a assembly_n the_o one_o of_o they_o now_o with_o god_n which_o be_v that_o if_o a_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v expalse_v his_o kingdom_n and_o some_o particular_a subject_n shall_v follow_v he_o in_o flight_n or_o exile_n in_o foreign_a part_n and_o any_o of_o they_o there_o shall_v conspire_v his_o death_n that_o upon_o his_o rocoveryof_n his_o kingdom_n such_o a_o subject_a might_n by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v proceed_v with_o for_o treason_n commit_v and_o perpetrate_v at_o what_o time_n he_o have_v no_o kingdom_n and_o in_o place_n where_o ethe_o law_n do_v not_o bind_v that_o allegiance_n be_v in_o vigour_n and_o force_n where_o the_o power_n of_o law_n have_v a_o

they_o be_v of_o english_a parent_n continue_v at_o that_o time_n as_o liege_n subject_n to_o the_o king_n and_o have_v do_v no_o act_n to_o forfeit_v the_o benefit_n of_o their_o allegiance_n be_v ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la naturalize_v nay_o if_o a_o man_n look_v narrow_o into_o the_o law_n in_o this_o point_n he_o shall_v find_v a_o consequence_n that_o may_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o strange_a but_o yet_o can_v well_o be_v avoid_v which_o be_v that_o it_o divers_a family_n of_o englishman_n and_o woman_n plant_v themselves_o at_o middleborough_n or_o at_o roan_n or_o at_o lysoone_o and_o have_v issue_n and_o their_o deseendents_n do_v intermarry_a among_o themselves_o without_o any_o intermixture_n of_o foreign_a blood_n such_o descendent_n be_v naturalize_v to_o all_o generation_n for_o every_o generation_n be_v still_o of_o liege_n parent_n and_o therefore_o naturalize_v so_o as_o you_o may_v have_v whole_a tribe_n and_o lineage_n of_o english_a in_o foreign_a country_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v utter_o untrue_a that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n can_v operate_v of_o confer_v naturalisation_n but_o only_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o dominion_n of_o england_n to_o come_v now_o to_o their_o inference_n upon_o statute_n the_o firstis_fw-la out_o of_o this_o statute_n which_o i_o last_o recite_v in_o which_o statute_n it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o four_o several_a place_n there_o be_v word_n bear_v within_o the_o allegiance_n of_o england_n or_o again_o bear_v without_o the_o allegiance_n of_o england_n which_o say_v they_o apply_v the_o allegiance_n to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o not_o to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o there_o be_v not_o trope_n of_o speech_n more_o familiar_a then_o to_o use_v the_o place_n of_o addition_n for_o the_o person_n so_o we_o say_v common_o the_o line_n of_o york_n or_o the_o line_n of_o lancaster_n for_o the_o line_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n or_o the_o duke_n of_o lancaster_n so_o we_o say_v the_o possession_n of_o somerset_n or_o warmick_n intend_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o somerset_n or_o earl_n of_o warmick_n so_o we_o seeearles_a sign_n salisbury_n northampton_n for_o the_o earl_n of_o salisbury_n or_o northampton_n and_o in_o the_o very_a same_o manner_n the_o statute_n speak_v allegiance_n of_o england_n for_o allegiance_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n nay_o more_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o variety_n in_o the_o pen_n of_o that_o statute_n this_o collect_v on_o have_v have_v a_o little_a more_o force_n for_o those_o word_n may_v have_v be_v think_v to_o have_v be_v use_v of_o purpose_n and_o in_o propriety_n but_o you_o may_v find_v in_o three_o other_o several_a place_n of_o the_o same_o statute_n allegeange_a and_o obeisance_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o special_o in_o the_o material_a and_o conclude_a place_n that_o be_v to_o say_v child_n who_o parent_n be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o birth_n at_o the_o faith_n and_o obeisance_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n so_o that_o be_v manifest_a by_o this_o indifferent_a and_o indifferent_a use_n of_o both_o phrase_n the_o one_o proper_a the_o other_o unproper_a that_o no_o man_n can_v ground_v any_o inference_n upon_o these_o word_n without_o danger_n of_o cavilation_n the_o second_o statute_n out_o of_o which_o they_o infer_v be_v a_o
