as_o i_o have_v former_o more_o full_o prov'de_v and_o if_o this_o principle_n prevail_v as_o to_o the_o difference_n in_o the_o theory_n of_o religion_n it_o will_v in_o the_o next_o step_n be_v

a_o worse_a governor_n and_o less_o god_n vicegerent_n and_o image_n than_o a_o devout_a papist_n and_o among_o protestant_n every_o sect_n will_v reject_v a_o king_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o

of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n which_o show_v that_o the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o

yet_o these_o act_n teach_v we_o how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o leave_v parliament_n to_o the_o impression_n of_o king_n in_o the_o case_n of_o name_v a_o successor_n as_o it_o be_v to_o expose_v

she_o though_o she_o be_v declare_v bastard_n the_o right_n of_o blood_n prevail_v over_o the_o formality_n of_o divorce_n and_o the_o dispensation_n of_o pope_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n
