Reasons
and
Considerations
humbly
proposed
,
why
no
Act
of
Attainder
should
extend
to
make
a
Forfeiture
of
that
part
of
the
Estate
of
Sir
John
Danvers
deceased
,
which
is
come
to
his
onely
Son
Mr.
John
Danvers
an
Infant
.
1.
FIrst
,
Mr.
John
Danvers
is
onely
Heir
of
that
Antient
and
Noble
Family
of
the
Danvers's
,
and
Heir
to
the
late
Earl
of
Dauby
his
Uncle
,
and
hath
,
with
all
that
was
left
nim
by
his
Father
(
Sir
John
Danvers
)
but
a
moderate
Fortune
,
to
support
the
Dignity
and
Memory
of
his
Family
.
2.
His
Father
,
Sir
John
Danvers
,
though
in
his
life-time
owner
of
a
very
great
Estate
,
was
so
wrought
upon
by
some
about
him
,
as
to
settle
his
Estate
in
such
manner
,
as
that
his
then
●ldest
son
,
Mr.
Henry
Danvers
,
since
deceased
,
had
power
to
dispose
of
,
and
did
dispose
of
all
of
it
by
Will
,
(
saving
about
twelve
hundred
Pounds
per
Annum
)
from
his
said
Father
,
and
from
his
onely
Brother
,
and
from
the
name
of
Danvers
,
to
his
Sisters
;
and
that
during
his
minority
,
and
in
the
life-time
of
his
Father
;
and
then
dyed
under
age
,
and
unmarried
.
By
this
means
,
Mr.
Villers
,
(
sometimes
called
Viscount
Purbeck
,
who
married
one
of
the
Daughters
)
and
the
children
of
the
other
Daughter
(
the
Lady
Lee
)
go
away
with
far
the
greatest
part
of
Sir
John
Danver's
Estate
,
and
about
1200
l.
per
Annum
and
no
more
,
is
with
much
ado
rescued
from
that
settlement
,
to
descend
and
come
to
Mr.
John
Danvers
,
the
Heir
of
the
Family
,
out
of
which
his
Mother
hath
a
Joynture
of
about
500
l.
per
Annum
,
and
340
l.
per
Annum
is
paid
out
of
it
for
Annuities
and
Rent-charges
.
3.
The
small
Estate
that
belongs
to
this
young
Gentleman
was
not
first
acquired
by
Sir
John
Danvers
,
(
his
Father
)
but
was
formerly
part
of
the
Earl
of
Dauby's
Estate
,
and
belonging
to
the
Family
of
the
Danvers's
.
4.
Mr.
John
Danvers
is
but
of
the
age
of
Nine
or
Ten
years
,
or
thereabouts
,
and
by
this
means
in
some
incapacity
to
make
friends
,
and
unable
to
defend
his
small
Estate
,
(
his
near
kindred
being
such
as
have
gained
the
Estate
from
him
,
and
been
engaged
in
Sutes
with
him
about
the
Estate
)
are
therefore
likely
to
prove
enemies
rather
than
assistants
to
him
.
5.
The
Lady
Danvers
(
Mother
of
the
said
Infant
)
is
very
well
known
to
be
of
a
different
Inclination
and
Judgment
from
her
late
Husband
;
and
in
the
Education
of
her
Son
(
her
onely
child
)
hath
instructed
him
in
better
Principles
.
6.
And
in
the
promoting
of
that
Designe
for
his
Majestie
,
for
which
Doctor
Hewet
was
so
bloodily
murthered
,
she
testified
her
good
Affection
to
his
Majestie's
Cause
,
and
her
Loyalty
towards
his
Majestie
,
by
sending
him
200
l.
to
advance
his
Majestie's
service
.
7.
And
his
Majestie's
Enemies
then
in
power
,
conceived
her
to
be
no
friend
to
their
unrighteous
Cause
,
insomuch
that
about
the
time
of
Sir
George
Booth's
late
appearing
in
Arms
,
she
the
said
Lady
Danvers
,
amongst
others
,
was
suspected
,
her
house
searched
by
Souldiers
,
and
she
her self
carried
before
the
then
Councell
of
State
;
And
a
Kinsman
of
hers
,
who
for
divers
years
hath
lived
with
her
in
her
House
,
who
is
a
person
that
hath
ever
been
very
active
in
his
faithful
service
and
loyalty
to
his
Majestie
,
whom
his
Majesty
,
since
his
happy
Return
,
hath
frequently
owned
to
be
a
preserver
of
his
Majestie's
life
,
when
his
Majestie
was
in
greatest
danger
.
8.
And
the
said
Lady
hath
,
for
divers
years
,
intrusted
the
education
of
her
onely
Child
,
and
the
direction
of
her
whole
Family
in
matters
of
Religion
,
to
Doctor
Meredith
,
a
person
eminent
in
his
Sufferings
for
his
Majestie's
Father
,
who
hath
for
all
that
time
lived
in
the
house
with
the
said
Lady
Danvers
,
