be_v that_o in_o the_o common_a acceptation_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n it_o import_v a_o voluntary_a express_a act_n of_o renuntiation_n which_o be_v not_o in_o this_o case_n and_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o the_o premise_n to_o this_o the_o commons_o answer_v that_o the_o do_v a_o act_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o be_v and_o end_n of_o a_o thing_n about_o which_o it_o be_v conversant_a or_o

be_v a_o disclaimer_n of_o that_o trust_n though_o he_o do_v not_o disclaim_v it_o by_o a_o formal_a deed._n from_o all_o this_o they_o draw_v these_o just_a consequence_n that_o king_n james_n have_v act_v contrary_a to_o his_o trust_n have_v abdicate_v his_o government_n and_o that_o have_v abdicate_v it_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o become_v vacant_a but_o the_o lord_n insist_v that_o the_o

throne_n be_v not_o vacant_a the_o commons_o upon_o this_o demand_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v tell_v they_o with_o who_o the_o throne_n be_v fill_v the_o lord_n only_o answer_v in_o general_a that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v heir_n to_o take_v by_o lineal_a succession_n though_o they_o do_v not_o or_o can_v not_o express_o name_v the_o particular_a person_n who_o right_a it_o be_v to_o fill_v the_o throne_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o can_v not_o say_v who_o fill_v the_o throne_n yet_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v it_o be_v not_o vacant_a the_o commons_o then_o represent_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o their_o lordship_n will_v neither_o agree_v that_o the_o throne_n be_v vacant_a nor_o say_v how_o it_o be_v full_a and_o desire_v to_o know_v who_o be_v king_n if_o king_n james_n be_v not_o or_o be_v they_o to_o be_v always_o in_o that_o doubtful_a condition_n for_o none_o can_v be_v king_n james_n his_o heir_n during_o his_o life_n the_o crown_n can_v not_o descend_v till_o his_o death_n the_o lord_n reply_v that_o though_o the_o king_n be_v not_o dead_a naturally_n yet_o if_o he_o be_v so_o civil_o the_o next_o of_o course_n ought_v to_o come_v in_o as_o by_o hereditary_a succession_n the_o commons_o reply_v that_o their_o lordship_n hold_v it_o a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o go_v upon_o the_o examination_n who_o be_v heir_n and_o demand_v if_o that_o be_v not_o clear_a whether_o they_o be_v always_o to_o remain_v under_o the_o difficulty_n as_o for_o the_o commons_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v what_o word_n be_v use_v fill_v
