as_o if_o the_o say_a elector_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o this_o government_n ad_fw-la interim_n there_o be_v great_a contestation_n in_o the_o last_o century_n at_o the_o election_n of_o ferdinand_n the_o i._o insomuch_o that_o in_o the_o same_o business_n the_o prince_n of_o bavaria_n do_v join_v himself_o to_o the_o protestant_a prince_n fear_v that_o this_o election_n by_o little_a and_o little_o will_v turn_v into_o a_o hereditary_a one_o and_o deprive_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o empire_n of_o their_o free_a election_n because_o the_o emperor_n live_v will_v always_o strive_v to_o have_v some_o of_o his_o own_o child_n or_o of_o his_o kindred_n about_o he_o rather_o than_o any_o prince_n beside_o and_o as_o they_o call_v the_o emperor_n election_n a_o free_a one_o so_o they_o style_v that_o of_o a_o roman_a king_n a_o force_a one_o as_o for_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o it_o be_v very_o old_a for_o not_o only_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o caroline_n family_n the_o son_n in_o their_o parent_n life_n time_n be_v assure_v of_o the_o succession_n but_o be_v also_o admit_v into_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o regal_a and_o imperial_a dignity_n and_o make_v partaker_n thereof_o but_o this_o be_v do_v too_o hereafter_o in_o the_o family_n of_o the_o emperor_n of_o saxony_n suevia_n and_o austria_n when_o the_o son_n in_o their_o father_n life_n time_n be_v constitute_v

all_o these_o example_n of_o those_o remote_a century_n as_o they_o do_v depend_v on_o those_o emperor_n will_n so_o they_o be_v more_o a_o matter_n of_o fact_n than_o of_o right_n wherefore_o we_o

be_v like_o a_o bulwark_n to_o germany_n against_o the_o infidel_n queen_n elizabeth_n be_v quite_o of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n for_o when_o the_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n desire_v she_o to_o

himself_o a_o grave_a as_o long_o as_o one_o do_v live_v the_o emperor_n tell_v they_o further_o that_o he_o can_v not_o always_o be_v in_o germany_n because_o of_o the_o several_a kingdom_n &_o

will_v then_o with_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o prince_n interpret_v the_o caroline_n law_n confirm_v and_o establish_v the_o same_o by_o a_o edict_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o for_o the_o future_a in_o the_o emperor_n life_n time_n never_o a_o king_n of_o the_o roman_n shall_v be_v choose_v before_o the_o elector_n with_o the_o six_o other_o prince_n of_o the_o
