it_o be_v obvious_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o solecism_n and_o nonsense_n to_o affirm_v that_o any_o one_o be_v a_o man_n heir_n or_o successor_n while_o himself_o live_v for_o the_o successor_n only_o commence_v such_o at_o his_o predecessor_n death_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o intentional_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o former_a in_o the_o life-time_n of_o the_o latter_a be_v in_o plain_a term_n a_o traitor_n for_o the_o plain_a intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o see_v in_o monarchy_n that_o be_v hereditary_a there_o be_v no_o

the_o subject_n allegiance_n shall_v not_o be_v suspend_v till_o the_o new_a sovereign_n coronation_n that_o thereby_o the_o mutual_a stipulation_n may_v be_v renew_v but_o as_o the_o heir_n be_v enter_v upon_o the_o gevernment_n do_v imply_v that_o he_o accept_v it_o upon_o the_o same_o condition_n as_o his_o predecessor_n hold_v it_o so_o do_v this_o oath_n as_o effectual_o bind_v the_o

of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o suppose_v he_o that_o expect_v to_o be_v heir_n pervert_v from_o this_o to_o the_o popish_a religion_n notwithstanding_o the_o example_n of_o his_o ancestor_n and_o the_o command_v of_o his_o martyr_a father_n to_o the_o contrary_n suppose_v his_o principal_a servant_n and_o great_a confident_a brag_v of_o the_o apparent_a likelihood_n of_o root_a out_o
