... Ex decreto et consensu Amplissimi Iuris Antecessorum Ordinis in vetustissima & inclyta Basiliensium Academia Pro summo in utroque Iure gradu & privilegiis Doctoralibus consequendis subsequentes Conclusiones de legitimatione liberorum

rences of these three legitimations.

LVI.
The first difference: Through legitimation which occurs by offering to the Court, one obtains only that which the least person does. It is otherwise in the other two.

LVII.
The second: Through legitimation which occurs by offering, they do not obtain the right of agnation original: "agnationis", kinship through the male line, so as to succeed the agnates. In the remaining two, they acquire the right of both status as well as agnation and cognation original: "cognationis", blood kinship.

LVIII.
The third difference: Legitimation which occurs by the rescript of the Prince takes place only when no other children exist: whereas by offering to the Court, as also by marriage, it occurs whether others exist or not.

LIX.
But whether, while a statute stands such that while males exist, females are excluded from succession, a difference obtains between those legitimized by subsequent marriage or by the rescript of the Prince, I wish to ask in place of a conclusion. And since some assert, and some use this difference, as if those legitimized by marriage succeed, but not those by the rescript of the Prince, while others contend that in neither case is the daughter excluded: I, having rejected the difference, and having also reprobated the opinion of those who affirm it, embrace the latter negative opinion.
