The right line descending, is the race of a mans own posterity. And that also hath sundry degrees. The first whereof is, the son and the daughter; the second, the nephew, and the niece; the third, the nephews son, and the nieces daughter. The fourth is the nephews nephew, or the son in the ⟨image 25⟩⟨image 25⟩⟨p. 26⟩[…] ⟨p. 27⟩[…] ⟨p. 28⟩fourth degree of lineal descent, & the nieces niece, or the daughter in the same degree of descent. The fifth is he and she that are three lineal descents from the child's child. And so are the rest in their order, by what names soever they be called and known.
