to_o be_v evident_a to_o we_o especial_o in_o this_o case_n consider_v who_o your_o lordship_n be_v you_o be_v the_o person_n that_o usual_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v present_a at_o the_o delivery_n of_o our_o queen_n and_o the_o proper_a witness_n to_o the_o birth_n of_o our_o prince_n if_o then_o your_o lordship_n have_v know_v who_o be_v on_o the_o throne_n we_o shall_v certain_o have_v hear_v his_o name_n from_o you_o and_o that_o have_v be_v the_o best_a reason_n against_o the_o vacancy_n as_o can_v have_v be_v give_v my_o lord_n we_o say_v no_o more_o than_o our_o ancestor_n have_v say_v before_o we_o as_o you_o see_v by_o the_o parliament-roll_n 1_o henry_n iv_o and_o i_o must_v maintain_v the_o record_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o the_o government_n be_v vacant_a as_o it_o be_v there_o declare_v and_o as_o it_o be_v express_v in_o our_o vote_n so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o invent_v or_o coin_v a_o word_n for_o our_o turn_n neither_o be_v the_o notion_n new_a it_o be_v a_o word_n that_o have_v be_v use_v before_o in_o a_o case_n as_o near_o this_o as_o any_o can_v be_v but_o it_o be_v object_v that_o that_o shall_v be_v no_o precedent_n because_o of_o what_o follow_v upon_o that_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n i_o desire_v that_o your_o lornship_n will_v read_v the_o record_n the_o next_o thing_n there_o be_v henry_n the_o four_o come_v himself_o and_o say_v he_o claim_v the_o crown_n as_o descend_v from_o henry_n the_o three_o and_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assent_v it_o be_v true_a the_o archbishop_n do_v propose_v he_o as_o be_v usual_a at_o coronation_n and_o he_o do_v there_o actual_o ask_v they_o whether_o they_o do_v choose_v he_o for_o their_o king_n they_o agree_v to_o it_o and_o the_o archbishop_n make_v a_o discourse_n upon_o the_o virtue_n of_o a_o man_n to_o govern_v the_o nation_n better_o than_o a_o child_n and_o then_o he_o be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o proper_a plain_a applicable_a precedent_n in_o our_o case_n but_o that_o noble_a lord_n objection_n strike_v at_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o it_o if_o the_o objection_n be_v right_o make_v that_o all_o these_o proceed_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o word_n and_o phrase_n there_o use_v be_v all_o repeal_v 1_o edw._n 4._o my_o lord_n it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v and_o ready_o agree_v by_o we_o that_o edward_n the_o four_o come_v in_o in_o disaffirmance_n of_o the_o title_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lancaster_n as_o those_o time_n go_v whenever_o there_o be_v any_o turn_n in_o government_n as_o there_o be_v several_a there_o be_v new_a and_o contrary_a declaration_n about_o the_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n make_v constant_o in_o parliament_n and_o what_o one_o parliament_n settle_v another_o undo_v but_o then_o this_o advantage_n we_o have_v on_o our_o side_n that_o as_o we_o have_v this_o first_o precedent_n for_o we_o so_o we_o have_v the_o last_o for_o i_o need_v go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o parliament_n roll_v of_o 1_o henry_n vii_o 12.16_o where_o the_o record_n be_v set_v right_o again_o the_o act_n for_o depose_v richard_n the_o second_o be_v indeed_o by_o 1_o edw._n iu_o repeal_v and_o say_v that_o henry_n the_o four_o usurp_v the_o crown_n and_o murder_v richard_n the_o second_o and_o thereupon_o it_o proceed_v to_o attaint_n henry_n the_o six_o but_o than_o come_v in_o henry_n the_o seven_o and_o 1_o henry_n vii_o there_o be_v a_o act_n make_v that_o set_v aside_o all_o the_o act_n and_o attainder_n make_v against_o his_o line_n and_o consequent_o repeal_v 1_o edw._n iv_o which_o repeal_v 1_o hen._n iu._n and_o i_o will_v observe_v one_o thing_n by_o the_o way_n concern_v henry_n the_o four_o he_o be_v of_o the_o line_n of_o lancaster_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n will_v not_o endure_v to_o have_v his_o crown_n reckon_v only_o matrimonial_a or_o suffer_v the_o style_n to_o go_v in_o the_o name_n of_o henry_n and_o elizabeth_n as_o he_o must_v have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v stick_v to_o the_o title_n by_o the_o right_a line_n of_o succession_n no_o he_o always_o stand_v up_o for_o his_o own_o title_n though_o he_o have_v the_o heiress_n of_o the_o house_n of_o york_n in_o his_o bosom_n therefore_o my_o lord_n his_o act_n for_o restore_v the_o record_n of_o 1_o henry_n iu._n again_o it_o be_v as_o good_a a_o authority_n as_o it_o be_v before_o and_o somewhat_o better_a for_o it_o have_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d on_o its_o side_n which_o be_v unrepealed_a to_o this_o day_n e._n of_o p_o e._n henry_n the_o seven_o have_v a_o

usurpation_n and_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o one_o to_o prescribe_v which_o title_n be_v best_a as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v he_o have_v one_o good_a one_o that_o this_o kingdom_n be_v hereditary_a we_o be_v not_o to_o prove_v by_o precedent_n in_o the_o list_n of_o our_o king_n and_o queen_n for_o we_o shall_v scarce_o find_v above_o three_o in_o any_o direct_a line_n without_o some_o interruption_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o fetch_v our_o precedent_n or_o proof_n so_o far_o as_o those_o day_n and_o this_o i_o speak_v for_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v hint_v before_o the_o law_n make_v be_v certain_o part_v of_o the_o original_a contract_n and_o by_o the_o law_n make_v which_o establish_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n we_o be_v

title_n by_o descent_n be_v a_o usurpation_n i_o think_v it_o be_v pretty_a hard_a to_o determine_v what_o title_n he_o do_v govern_v by_o since_o though_o his_o wife_n be_v the_o lineal_a heir_n yet_o she_o have_v no_o part_n or_o so_o much_o as_o a_o name_n in_o the_o administration_n and_o if_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o issue_n to_o be_v try_v then_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o do_v it_o

none_o for_o act_n of_o parliament_n but_o those_o that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o reign_v of_o hereditary_a king_n and_o in_o the_o right_a line_n i_o doubt_v we_o shall_v want_v the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o law_n that_o compose_v the_o volume_n of_o statute-book_n and_o the_o record_n by_o which_o we_o enjoy_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o inheritance_n and_o possession_n mr._n sergeant_n m_o d_o if_o we_o look_v but_o into_o the_o law_n of_o natrue_a that_o be_v above_o all_o humane_a law_n we_o have_v enough_o to_o justify_v we_o in_o what_o we_o be_v now_o a_o do_v to_o provide_v
