who_o be_v verse_v in_o history_n record_n and_o antiquity_n and_o many_o very_a wise_a and_o know_a man_n some_o divine_n some_o lawyer_n and_o other_o grave_n and_o understand_a person_n have_v herein_o declare_v that_o they_o concur_v in_o opinion_n that_o amicia_n be_v a_o bastard_n but_o now_o arise_v another_o question_n for_o those_o who_o will_v have_v amicia_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a daughter_n and_o no_o bastard_n which_o can_v be_v support_v either_o by_o history_n record_n or_o reason_n they_o will_v ground_v their_o opinion_n from_o a_o point_n of_o law_n to_o wit_n that_o land_n can_v pass_v in_o free-marriage_n with_o a_o bastard_n and_o because_o amicia_n have_v a_o grant_n of_o some_o service_n in_o free-marriage_n from_o the_o earl_n her_o father_n therefore_o they_o conclude_v she_o be_v no_o bastard_n for_o all_o other_o argument_n for_o her_o legitimacy_n be_v so_o void_a of_o reason_n and_o authority_n that_o all_o bottom_n on_o this_o one_o argument_n and_o the_o question_n now_o be_v this_o whether_o the_o deed_n of_o hugh_n earl_n of_o chester_n wherein_o he_o grant_v unto_o ralph_n manwaring_n in_o free-marriage_n with_o amicia_n his_o

can_v now_o pass_v in_o free-marriage_n with_o a_o bastard_n as_o the_o law_n be_v take_v at_o this_o day_n the_o proper_a question_n of_o law_n therefore_o in_o the_o present_a case_n be_v this_o
