A49781	The right of primogeniture, in succession to the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland as declared by the statutes of 24 E.3 cap 2. De Proditionibus, King of England, and of Kenneth the third, and Malcolm Mackenneth the second, Kings of Scotland : as likewise of 10 H.7 made by a Parliament of Ireland : with all objections answered, and clear probation made : that to compass or imagine the death, exile, or disinheriting of the King's eldest son, is high treason : to which is added, an answer to all objections against declaring him a Protestant successor, with reasons shewing the fatal dangers of neglecting the same.	Lawrence, William, 1613 or 14-1681 or 2.	1681 (1681)	Wing L691; ESTC R1575	180,199	230

of_o it_o and_o if_o i_o do_v yet_o all_o council_n be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o law_n to_o speak_v to_o any_o matter_n of_o fact_n 2._o this_o hinder_v not_o any_o other_o from_o use_v what_o

and_o no_o ceremony_n before_o the_o bishop_n 6._o it_o be_v more_o for_o the_o safety_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o a_o protestant_a prince_n either_o wave_v his_o
