a_o few_o word_n among_o many_o about_o the_o touchy_a point_n of_o succession_n humble_o propose_v to_o timely_o consideration_n against_o the_o session_n of_o parliament_n whether_o it_o be_v now_o or_o hereafter_o the_o case_n to_o be_v put_v be_v this_o a_o nation_n be_v protestant_n in_o the_o main_a body_n of_o it_o he_o that_o be_v like_a to_o succeed_v in_o the_o throne_n be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v in_o such_o a_o affair_n the_o case_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o divine_n and_o to_o the_o lawyer_n though_o it_o be_v the_o parliament_n alone_o must_v determine_v it_o nay_o the_o matter_n indeed_o be_v what_o every-body_n think_v themselves_o engage_v in_o and_o every_o body_n speak_v their_o mind_n of_o there_o be_v no_o coffee-house_n and_o few_o private_a house_n but_o their_o table-talk_a be_v of_o these_o thing_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n therefore_o why_o i_o may_v not_o speak_v my_o mind_n also_o so_o long_o as_o i_o do_v it_o of_o myself_o and_o with_o this_o signification_n that_o no_o other_o how_o much_o soever_o else_o concern_v with_o i_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o the_o publication_n of_o it_o for_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v take_v the_o liberty_n every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o englishman_n and_o protestant_n to_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o house_n as_o we_o do_v abroad_o they_o will_v be_v less_o afraid_a of_o one_o another_o and_o more_o secure_a in_o their_o counsel_n whatsoever_o they_o talk_v in_o provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v decree_v in_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n that_o all_o prince_n shall_v exterminate_v the_o heretic_n out_o of_o their_o dominion_n upon_o pain_n of_o deposition_n excommunication_n and_o damnation_n the_o papist_n believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n to_o be_v infallible_a and_o what_o be_v decree_v by_o a_o pope_n and_o universal_a council_n be_v unquestionable_o receive_v as_o a_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n and_o consequent_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v decree_v to_o be_v do_v by_o any_o man_n upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n they_o must_v do_v it_o first_o or_o last_o by_o such_o mean_n as_o they_o can_v if_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v save_v where_o a_o person_n than_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n and_o true_a to_o his_o religion_n he_o can_v enter_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n but_o he_o must_v resolve_v to_o exterminate_v his_o subject_n to_o enter_v so_o be_v to_o enter_v hostili_fw-la animo_fw-la with_o the_o mind_n

and_o conscience_n be_v open_a that_o such_o a_o person_n must_v on_o necessity_n either_o renounce_v that_o religion_n or_o else_o he_o must_v relinquish_v the_o government_n and_o be_v content_a that_o the_o next_o rightful_a heir_n or_o successor_n do_v possess_v it_o upon_o these_o term_n now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o person_n so_o pious_a and_o devout_a as_o not_o dare_v to_o hazard_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n he_o do_v purpose_n if_o he_o be_v king_n whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o see_v he_o must_v to_o make_v his_o people_n turn_n papist_n or_o execute_v that_o decree_n

undertake_v not_o only_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o i_o must_v confess_v from_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o thirteen_o of_o the_o queen_n that_o though_o this_o government_n be_v hereditary_a it_o be_v so_o hereditary_a as_o the_o law_n or_o statute_n of_o parliament_n do_v bind_v the_o descent_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o if_o it_o be_v as_o it_o appear_v i_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o say_v but_o to_o desire_v of_o god_n to_o give_v to_o those_o who_o be_v now_o in_o expectation_n to_o be_v assemble_v the_o moderation_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o child_n of_o issachar_n that_o they_o may_v know_v at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o what_o israel_n have_v to_o do_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o act_n pass_v by_o they_o concern_v these_o matter_n i_o must_v for_o the_o discharge_n of_o my_o conscience_n superad_v thus_o much_o further_o that_o although_o on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o sovereign_n he_o that_o be_v a_o papist_n can_v take_v the_o throne_n where_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n be_v protestant_n according_a to_o right_a reason_n and_o conscience_n as_o may_v be_v make_v to_o appear_v further_o if_o what_o be_v say_v be_v not_o sufficient_a already_o yet_o on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o subject_a let_v the_o crown_n fall_v to_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v whether_o papist_n or_o protestant_n if_o he_o have_v right_a to_o it_o according_a to_o the_o present_a law_n in_o force_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o nation_n there_o be_v no_o good_a protestant_n or_o no_o subject_a that_o fear_v god_n can_v rise_v up_o in_o

heaven_n this_o we_o be_v teach_v more_o effectual_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o be_v therefore_o never_o to_o be_v untaught_a it_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n for_o
