A56468 A conference about the next succession to the crown of England divided into two parts : the first containeth the discourse of a civil lawyer, how and in what manner propinquity of bloud is to be preferred : the second containeth the speech of a temporal lawyer about the particular titles of all such as do, or may, pretend (within England or without) to the next succession : whereunto is also added a new and perfect arbor and genealogy of the descents of all the kings and princes of England, from the Conquest to the present day, whereby each mans pretence is made more plain ... / published by R.

his_o realm_n against_o so_o potent_a a_o tyrant_n as_o king_n richard_n be_v then_o account_v and_o yet_o be_v the_o concourse_n of_o all_o people_n so_o great_a and_o general_a unto_o he_o that_o

less_o odious_a to_o the_o world_n than_o this_o be_v that_o seem_v so_o cruel_a and_o full_a of_o treason_n again_o they_o show_v violence_n that_o when_o god_n have_v reject_v king_n saul_n for_o

all_o which_o god_n may_v have_v spare_v and_o have_v take_v he_o away_o quiet_o without_o bloodshed_n if_o he_o will_v but_o he_o choose_v this_o second_o way_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o he_o
