god_n from_o which_o two_n i_o will_v infer_v this_o conclusion_n that_o who_o ever_o shall_v attempt_v to_o alter_v this_o right_n of_o succession_n without_o a_o manifest_a revelation_n which_o be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v expect_v be_v a_o notorious_a usurper_n upon_o the_o right_n of_o the_o person_n who_o be_v to_o succeed_v be_v the_o pretence_n for_o it_o what_o it_o will_v and_o a_o rebel_n against_o that_o providence_n which_o give_v he_o that_o right_o nor_o will_v all_o the_o ancient_a rebellion_n usurpation_n and_o disorder_n which_o have_v happen_v in_o this_o kingdom_n justify_v they_o that_o shall_v begin_v they_o again_o now_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o to_o order_v it_o that_o the_o duke_n shall_v at_o his_o majesty_n death_n be_v the_o next_o heir_n to_o his_o crown_n i_o can_v see_v how_o any_o humane_a power_n shall_v prevent_v his_o succession_n to_o it_o but_o by_o encroach_a upon_o his_o right_n and_o by_o rebel_a against_o the_o divine_a providence_n that_o give_v it_o to_o he_o so_o that_o be_v the_o inconvenience_n that_o shall_v follow_v upon_o such_o a_o succession_n what_o they_o will_v or_o can_v be_v we_o must_v submit_v to_o they_o upon_o pain_n of_o rebellion_n against_o both_o god_n and_o his_o anoint_v our_o lawful_a prince_n and_o then_o let_v any_o man_n be_v judge_v whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o popish_a prince_n or_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o angry_a god_n who_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n and_o who_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o any_o act_n of_o parliament_n from_o afflict_v a_o sinful_a and_o rebellious_a people_n so_o though_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o dread_v such_o a_o prince_n yet_o she_o will_v have_v great_a reason_n to_o dread_v a_o rebellion_n against_o he_o because_o it_o run_v she_o upon_o the_o divine_a vengeance_n and_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o her_o principle_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a church_n and_o be_v plain_a downright_a popery_n so_o that_o i_o conclude_v neither_o she_o nor_o any_o of_o her_o child_n will_v be_v guilty_a of_o it_o come_v

as_o a_o protestant_n but_o as_o lawful_a and_o rightful_a king_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o who_o ever_o be_v so_o have_v and_o must_v have_v right_o to_o impose_v it_o upon_o we_o be_v his_o

so_o that_o be_v the_o case_n just_o such_o as_o it_o be_v represent_v by_o the_o author_n of_o the_o character_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n it_o will_v not_o justify_v the_o exclude_v of_o such_o a_o successor_n as_o he_o have_v describe_v by_o force_n and_o arm_n against_o his_o right_n and_o our_o oath_n to_o the_o contrary_a though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o certain_a to_o succeed_v in_o

ten_o protestant_n for_o one_o papist_n through_o all_o the_o dominion_n of_o england_n so_o that_o if_o such_o a_o successor_n shall_v attempt_v to_o extirpate_v they_o the_o bare_a refuse_v to_o

sure_a they_o will_v do_v it_o so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a supposition_n in_o a_o prince_n of_o our_o own_o nation_n that_o have_v no_o other_o dominion_n but_o these_o as_o to_o any_o
