Concerning the coming to inheritance 1and the succession of goods, or the lawful succession by kindred, there is a precise law in the 27 Chapter of the book of Numbers. There is set down the case of the daughters of Zelphad, who did request that their fathers name should not be wiped out, but that their fathers inheritance and name might be given unto, and still remain with them, upon that occasion was the law made, that if the sons did dye, the heritage should be conveyed over and given to the daughters, or at least wise to those that were nearest of affinity. And thereunto belongeth the law of raising seed unto the deceased brother, and the whole 26 Chapter almost of the book of Numbers. Upon this law also doeth hang the right which cometh by adoption.
