and_o rule_n of_o succession_n that_o be_v fundamental_a to_o this_o crown_n eucher_n i_o answer_v hereunto_o that_o the_o general_a and_o ordinary_a rule_n of_o succession_n to_o this_o crown_n be_v hereditary_a and_o in_o this_o we_o be_v very_o happy_a against_o the_o dangerous_a consequence_n of_o ambitious_a competition_n but_o in_o extraordinary_a interruption_n and_o convulsion_n of_o

judgement_n of_o our_o great_a lawyer_n under_o hereditary_a king_n even_o since_o the_o reformation_n without_o any_o remonstrance_n of_o this_o church_n or_o any_o hereditary_a king_n be_v a_o authentic_a demonstration_n hereof_o and_o bishop_n overal_n convocation-book_n come_v up_o to_o it_o and_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o in_o the_o late_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n the_o word_n successor_n be_v add_v after_o heir_n on_o this_o very_a selfsame_a ground_n that_o though_o heir_n by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n be_v the_o legal_a successor_n yet_o other_o legal_o may_v succeed_v in_o case_n extraordinary_a for_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o oath_n require_v allegiance_n to_o unlawful_a successor_n and_o the_o nonobservance_n hereof_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o so_o many_o paradox_n or_o absurdity_n in_o discourse_n upon_o this_o point_n dyscher_fw-fr what!_o can_v he_o be_v legal_a that_o thrust_v out_o the_o legal_a king_n or_o

can_v help_v it_o and_o he_o enforce_v himself_o upon_o the_o people_n for_o a_o new_a king_n our_o law_n in_o this_o concur_v with_o the_o law_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o nation_n in_o allow_v
