and_o that_o very_o candid_o without_o prejudice_n to_o other_o judgement_n or_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o that_o so_o often_o baffle_v a_o cause_n call_v popery_n that_o a_o papist_n ought_v not_o

those_o quaint_a word_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o ill_o put_v together_o be_v mere_a nonsense_n and_o that_o without_o the_o help_n of_o his_o title_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v out_o his_o meaning_n to_o be_v that_o a_o papist_n ought_v not_o to_o succeed_v to_o the_o crown_n his_o first_o pretend_a reason_n be_v r._n 1._o in_o strictness_n of_o law_n because_o one_o so_o

it_o be_v presumable_a that_o he_o that_o succeed_v in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o crown_n shall_v be_v legal_o adopt_v to_o execute_v so_o great_a a_o trust_n and_o therefore_o if_o minus_n

ans_fw-fr here_o he_o will_v be_v think_v a_o lawyer_n a_o call_v i_o have_v not_o profess_v because_o i_o observe_v woman_n be_v rare_o make_v judge_n but_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o common-law_n but_o that_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o define_v to_o be_v right_a reason_n guide_v by_o ancient_a usage_n therefore_o if_o this_o gentleman_n have_v bring_v but_o one_o precedent_n where_o a_o papist_n have_v be_v put_v by_o the_o crown_n mere_o for_o be_v such_o he_o have_v save_v himself_o and_o his_o reader_n much_o trouble_n in_o compose_v and_o observe_v so_o many_o nothing_o as_o his_o eight_o unintelligable_a reason_n amount_v to_o but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o wonder_n how_o do_v a_o papist_n prince_n incapacitate_v himself_o for_o the_o crown_n by_o the_o

the_o reform_a church_n have_v wear_v the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n but_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o common-law_n alter_v not_o the_o succession_n on_o account_n of_o religion_n nor_o indeed_o on_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o no_o not_o if_o the_o king_n be_v minus_n idoneus_fw-la infant_n idiot_n or_o lunatic_n for_o right_a reason_n continual_a usage_n with_o numberless_a precedent_n in_o this_o and_o other_o hereditary_a monarchy_n teach_v we_o that_o such_o alteration_n will_v do_v more_o harm_n to_o religion_n and_o property_n than_o any_o of_o those_o temporary_a inconvenience_n so_o that_o the_o common-law_n both_o by_o precedent_n and_o right_a reason_n abhor_v his_o reason_n and_o what_o the_o power_n or_o duty_n of_o
