difference_n be_v plain_a that_o wherever_o the_o monarchy_n be_v hereditary_a upon_o the_o cease_v of_o he_o in_o possession_n the_o throne_n be_v not_o vacant_a where_o it_o be_v elective_a it_o

yet_o he_o that_o be_v real_o the_o next_o heir_n do_v not_o appear_v which_o be_v the_o earl_n of_o maroh_n so_o that_o henry_n the_o four_o claim_v it_o as_o his_o indubitable_a right_n be_v the_o

change_n of_o the_o monarchy_n from_o a_o hereditary_a to_o a_o elective_a e._n of_o n_n m._n after_o this_o long_a debate_n pray_v let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o come_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v to_o

we_o have_v no_o great_a hope_n of_o get_v one_o from_o you_o as_o this_o debate_n seem_v to_o be_v manage_v on_o your_o part_n you_o have_v declare_v that_o you_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o monarchy_n be_v hereditary_a and_o successive_a in_o the_o right_a line_n then_o i_o can_v see_v how_o such_o a_o acknowledgement_n consist_v with_o the_o reason_n you_o give_v for_o your_o vacancy_n for_o i_o can_v imagine_v how_o a_o kingdom_n can_v be_v a_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o that_o king_n who_o have_v child_n now_o in_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o forsake_v the_o government_n can_v have_v the_o throne_n vacant_a both_o of_o he_o and_o his_o child_n the_o course_n of_o inheritance_n as_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v by_o our_o law_n a_o great_a deal_n better_o provide_v for_o and_o run_v strong_a in_o the_o right_a line_n of_o birth_n than_o of_o any_o other_o inheritance_n no_o attainder_n of_o the_o heir_n of_o the_o crown_n will_v bar_v the_o succession_n to_o the_o throne_n as_o it_o do_v the_o descent_n to_o any_o common_a person_n the_o very_a descent_n by_o order_n of_o birth_n will_v take_v away_o any_o such_o defect_n and_o so_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a lawyer_n of_o england_n in_o the_o case_n of_o henry_n the_o seven_o then_o can_v i_o apprehend_v how_o any_o act_n of_o the_o father_n can_v bar_v the_o right_n of_o the_o child_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n can_v do_v it_o i_o never_o say_v so_o nor_o think_v so_o but_o i_o say_v no_o act_n of_o the_o father_n alone_a can_v do_v it_o since_o even_o the_o act_n of_o the_o son_n which_o may_v endanger_v a_o attainder_n in_o he_o can_v do_v it_o so_o careful_a be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o royal_a line_n of_o succession_n this_o be_v declare_v by_o many_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o very_o full_o and_o particular_o by_o that_o statute_n 25_o henry_n the_o eight_o cap._n 22_o entitle_v a_o act_n concern_v the_o king_n succession_n where_o the_o

according_a to_o their_o age_n as_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n have_v be_v accustom_v and_o ought_v to_o go_v in_o such_o case_n if_o then_o the_o king_n have_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o divest_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o right_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v thence_o that_o that_o shall_v exclude_v the_o right_n of_o his_o issue_n and_o then_o the_o throne_n be_v not_o vacant_a as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o such_o issue_n for_o no_o act_n of_o the_o father_n can_v vacant_a for_o himself_o and_o child_n therefore_o if_o you_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o but_o the_o divest_v his_o own_o
