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.

for_o the_o election_n of_o pepin_n in_o his_o place_n allege_v these_o two_o reason_n say_v king_n truth_n it_o be_v that_o the_o french_a have_v swear_v fidelity_n unto_o childerick_n as_o to_o

from_o the_o abject_a and_o wicked_a flattery_n of_o such_o as_o affirm_v prince_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o law_n or_o limitation_n at_o all_o either_o in_o authority_n government_n life_n or_o
