subject_n have_v publish_v that_o the_o queen_n have_v bring_v forth_o a_o son_n though_o there_o have_v appear_v both_o during_o the_o queen_n pretend_a bigness_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n in_o which_o the_o birth_n be_v manage_v so_o many_o just_a and_o visible_a ground_n of_o suspicion_n that_o not_o only_o we_o ourselves_o but_o all_o the_o good_a subject_n of_o these_o kingdom_n do_v vehement_o suspect_v that_o the_o pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n be_v not_o bear_v of_o the_o queen_n and_o it_o be_v notorious_o know_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o many_o both_o doubt_a of_o the_o queen_n bigness_n and_o of_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o child_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n do_v to_o satisfy_v they_o and_o to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o doubt_n and_o since_o our_o dear_a and_o most_o entire_o belove_v consort_n the_o princess_n and_o likewise_o we_o ourselves_o have_v so_o great_a a_o interest_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o such_o a_o right_a as_o all_o the_o world_n know_v to_o the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o since_o the_o english_a nation_n have_v ever_o testify_v a_o most_o particular_a affection_n and_o esteem_n both_o to_o our_o dear_a comfort_n and_o to_o ourselves_o we_o can_v excuse_v ourselves_o from_o espouse_v their_o interest_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o high_a consequence_n and_o from_o contribute_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o we_o for_o maintain_v both_o of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o of_o the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o those_o kingdom_n and_o for_o the_o secure_n to_o they_o the_o continual_a

unquestionable_o the_o next_o if_o there_o be_v no_o heir_n male_a it_o be_v possible_a this_o right_n may_v be_v real_o defeat_v by_o a_o prince_n of_o wales_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o may_v be_v pretend_v to_o be_v so_o when_o it_o be_v not_o for_o there_o have_v be_v many_o instance_n in_o history_n of_o suborn_a and_o supposititious_a prince_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v reason_n that_o sufficient_a evidence_n shall_v be_v give_v in_o a_o case_n of_o such_o importance_n and_o which_o be_v under_o so_o great_a suspicion_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a care_n take_v to_o prevent_v or_o remove_v these_o suspicion_n than_o the_o party_n most_o concern_v have_v a_o right_a to_o assert_v their_o own_o pretension_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n

find_v how_o very_a much_o short_a such_o proof_n be_v of_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n have_v be_v think_v to_o require_v the_o civil_a law_n be_v very_o strict_a where_o there_o be_v

the_o testimony_n of_o any_o single_a wittness_n although_o he_o be_v the_o most_o competent_a witness_n as_o to_o such_o a_o matter_n which_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o appear_v as_o to_o mr._n ashton_n for_o how_o can_v he_o know_v it_o by_o unanswerable_a and_o undoubted_a proof_n when_o consider_v the_o circumstance_n that_o be_v in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a to_o produce_v such_o proof_n as_o will_v pass_v for_o unexceptionable_a evidence_n upon_o a_o legal_a trial_n for_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o trial_n here_o in_o england_n within_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n wherein_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n 1668._o and_o midwife_n have_v all_o swear_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o birth_n of_o a_o son_n and_o yet_o the_o jury_n upon_o hear_v the_o whole_a evidence_n have_v give_v judgement_n that_o it_o be_v supposititious_a therefore_o bare_a affirmation_n of_o some_o person_n concern_v be_v not_o evidence_n sufficient_a in_o case_n of_o strong_a and_o vehemont_n presumption_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o such_o evidence_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v give_v as_o may_v have_v either_o prevent_v or_o remove_v any_o just_a ground_n of_o
