the_o very_a apostle_n 2_o our_o author_n quote_v two_o authority_n the_o one_o say_v a_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n if_o it_o shall_v pass_v will_v change_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o make_v the_o crown_n elective_a or_o as_o another_o ingenious_a but_o i_o be_o sure_a very_o scurrilous_a and_o irreverent_a pen_n say_v it_o will_v tend_v to_o make_v a_o football_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o turn_v a_o hereditary_a kingdom_n into_o elective_a the_o same_o answer_n will_v serve_v they_o both_o namely_o that_o a_o act_n of_o disinherit_n from_o the_o crown_n do_v own_o and_o proclaim_v and_o prove_v the_o kingdom_n to_o be_v hereditary_a and_o further_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o know_v in_o what_o part_n of_o the_o globe_n that_o elective_a kingdom_n lie_v where_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o present_a possessor_n of_o the_o crown_n shall_v have_v power_n in_o declare_v or_o disable_n his_o successor_n ii_o his_o next_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n wherein_o a_o minister_n of_o london_n especial_o ought_v to_o have_v use_v no_o sophistry_n because_o oath_n be_v sacred_a thing_n and_o ought_v not_o by_o false_a gloss_n and_o interpretation_n to_o be_v turn_v into_o snare_n to_o entangle_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o who_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v desirous_a to_o secure_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o withal_o to_o involve_v three_o successive_a house_n of_o commons_o in_o the_o gild_n of_o perjury_n only_o for_o discharge_v their_o conscience_n to_o god_n and_o their_o country_n and_o because_o our_o author_n after_o he_o have_v do_v thus_o stand_v upon_o his_o justification_n and_o call_v his_o way_n of_o argue_v plain_a and_o honest_a and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o conscious_a of_o the_o least_o sophistry_n in_o it_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v his_o sophistry_n stare_v he_o in_o the_o face_n i_o show_v he_o before_o in_o my_o preface_n by_o the_o most_o convince_a proof_n that_o can_v be_v produce_v that_o by_o the_o heir_n and_o successor_n mention_v in_o these_o oath_n be_v mean_v king_n and_o queen_n of_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n and_o if_o the_o old_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n at_o common-law_n which_o i_o there_o quote_v have_v not_o express_o say_v so_o yet_o commonsense_n will_v have_v teach_v we_o the_o very_a same_o for_o allegiance_n swear_v to_o a_o subject_a must_v needs_o be_v treason_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o there_o argue_v it_o be_v a_o falsehood_n of_o very_a dangerous_a consequence_n to_o say_v that_o any_o person_n beside_o his_o majesty_n have_v now_o any_o interest_n in_o those_o oath_n or_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o any_o part_n of_o they_o our_o author_n have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v answer_v that_o argument_n before_o he_o have_v fall_v to_o new-vamping_a of_o old_a baffle_a fallacy_n which_o i_o shall_v now_o examine_v by_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n as_o he_o say_v true_a we_o be_v swear_v to_o our_o power_n to_o assist_v and_o defend_v all_o jurisdiction_n privilege_n preeminency_n and_o authority_n grant_v or_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n highness_n his_o heir_n and_o lawful_a successor_n unite_a and_o annex_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n now_o one_o of_o these_o jurisdiction_n grant_v or_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n highness_n his_o heir_n and_o lawful_a successor_n unite_a and_o annex_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n be_v this_o that_o the_o king_n with_o and_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n be_v able_a to_o make_v law_n and_o statute_n of_o sufficient_a force_n and_o validity_n to_o limit_v and_o bind_v the_o crown_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o the_o descent_n limitation_n inheritance_n and_o government_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o i_o ask_v if_o they_o be_v not_o the_o perjure_a person_n who_o by_o assert_v a_o unalterable_a succession_n endeavour_v to_o destroy_v this_o jurisdiction_n privilege_n and_o authority_n which_o they_o be_v swear_v to_o maintain_v but_o our_o author_n be_v honest_a way_n of_o argue_v be_v to_o have_v four_o term_n in_o a_o syllogism_n as_o thus_o we_o be_v swear_v to_o defend_v the_o right_n of_o supremacy_n vest_v in_o the_o king_n ergo_fw-la we_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v a_o unalterable_a succession_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o right_n of_o this_o supremacy_n again_o we_o be_v swear_v to_o defend_v all_o privilege_n belong_v to_o the_o king_n heir_n and_o successor_n that_o be_v king_n and_o queen_n of_o england_n ergo_fw-la we_o be_v swear_v to_o defend_v all_o the_o privilege_n belong_v to_o such_o as_o be_v neither_o king_n nor_o queen_n but_o subject_n of_o england_n and_o if_o they_o be_v exclude_v never_o can_v be_v king_n or_o queen_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o to_o our_o author_n first_o question_n i_o answer_v no_o subject_n can_v possible_o have_v undoubted_a transcendent_a and_o essential_a right_n privilege_n and_o preeminency_n unite_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o england_n for_o if_o so_o than_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o england_n be_v unite_v to_o his_o right_n which_o i_o will_v desire_v our_o author_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o affirm_v for_o we_o can_v have_v but_o one_o sovereign_a as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n to_o his_o second_o question_n i_o answer_v by_o lawful_a successor_n be_v mean_v king_n and_o queen_n of_o england_n which_o have_v not_o be_v always_o next_o heir_n by_o proximity_n of_o blood_n witness_n henry_n 7._o q._n marry_o and_o q._n elizabeth_n who_o can_v not_o be_v both_o heir_n in_o that_o manner_n to_o edward_n the_o 6_o the_o and_o further_o i_o say_v that_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n only_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o king_n in_o be_v and_o not_o to_o the_o whole_a royal_a family_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a many_o sovereign_n at_o once_o and_o it_o be_v make_v in_o our_o author_n phrase_n for_o the_o behoof_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o not_o for_o the_o behoof_n of_o he_o who_o may_v never_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o have_v these_o word_n some_o indeed_o have_v say_v with_o our_o author_n that_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n be_v a_o protestant_a oath_n and_o so_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o sense_n destructive_a to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a shift_n and_o prove_v nothing_o because_o it_o prove_v too_o much_o sir_n i_o think_v it_o be_v much_o more_o a_o shift_n to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o drive_v on_o the_o pope_n interest_n by_o a_o oath_n which_o do_v most_o solemn_o renounce_v he_o and_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o unalterable_a succession_n of_o which_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o shadow_n in_o this_o oath_n but_o the_o direct_a contrary_n to_o abandon_v this_o protestant_a kingdom_n to_o the_o hellish_a tyranny_n of_o rome_n which_o we_o be_v swear_v to_o oppose_v and_o all_o protestant_n will_v oppose_v even_o under_o a_o popish_a successor_n if_o any_o such_o can_v be_v in_o england_n and_o let_v dr._n watson_n prove_v it_o if_o he_o can_v to_o be_v no_o less_o than_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god._n but_o methinks_v it_o have_v be_v time_n enough_o to_o offer_v to_o prove_v that_o after_o the_o pope_n power_n have_v be_v reestablish_v by_o a_o law_n and_o not_o to_o go_v about_o it_o now_o when_o it_o be_v treason_n to_o endeavour_v to_o reconcile_v man_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n thus_o much_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n prove_v which_o be_v not_o nothing_o nor_o a_o jot_n too_o much_o and_o further_o it_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o order_n to_o the_o keep_n out_o the_o pope_n power_n which_o we_o have_v utter_o renounce_v humble_o to_o beg_v of_o his_o majesty_n to_o foreclose_v a_o popish_a successor_n who_o will_v infallible_o let_v it_o in_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o way_n of_o assist_v and_o defend_v the_o jurisdiction_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v in_o our_o power_n and_o so_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o oath_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v treacherous_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o false_a to_o our_o oath_n as_o well_o as_o to_o god_n and_o to_o our_o religion_n if_o we_o will_v not_o do_v so_o much_o for_o any_o of_o they_o as_o this_o come_v to_o and_o i_o do_v serious_o and_o earnest_o recommend_v this_o consideration_n to_o all_o that_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o especial_o to_o the_o clergy_n of_o england_n who_o have_v take_v it_o several_a time_n over_o as_o for_o our_o author_n be_v say_v that_o moderate_a papist_n will_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o to_o it_o let_v he_o show_v i_o a_o man_n that_o have_v take_v this_o oath_n and_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o papist_n and_o i_o
