right_n of_o sovereignty_n do_v inseparable_o belong_v viz._n as_o he_o have_v before_o enumerate_v they_o 1._o to_o be_v accountable_a to_o none_o but_o god_n 2._o to_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n

all_o these_o in_o a_o absolute_a manner_n and_o therefore_o be_v a_o absolute_a sovereign_n but_o it_o fall_v out_o unlucky_o that_o when_o in_o some_o case_n the_o very_a enact_v part_n of_o

now_o methinks_v this_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o breach_n to_o say_v that_o this_o realm_n be_v under_o god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o yet_o free_a from_o subjection_n sound_v a_o little_a odd_o wherefore_o we_o must_v look_v further_o for_o their_o meaning_n the_o act_n go_v on_o thus_o to_o any_o man_n law_n but_o only_o such_o as_o have_v be_v devise_v make_a and_o ordain_v within_o this_o

nothing_o be_v a_o inheritance_n but_o what_o be_v claim_v by_o a_o ancient_a entail_n thence_o he_o suppose_v that_o the_o empire_n be_v not_o hereditary_a because_o the_o emperor_n sometime_o give_v

inheritance_n 78._o jou._n p._n 78._o which_o be_v not_o found_v upon_o the_o statute_n but_o upon_o the_o original_a

may_v adopt_v another_o in_o parliament_n god_n himself_o will_v be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o adoption_n but_o the_o main_a question_n be_v how_o this_o london_n minister_n show_v this_o to_o have_v be_v the_o original_a custom_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n be_v it_o because_o this_o custom_n have_v be_v derive_v down_o without_o interruption_n that_o he_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v or_o do_v he_o show_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o interruption_n in_o the_o succession_n to_o the_o empire_n be_v a_o argument_n that_o that_o be_v not_o hereditary_a and_o yet_o be_v no_o obstacle_n here_o nay_o do_v he_o not_o own_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o original_a custom_n and_o constitution_n in_o say_v that_o it_o first_o come_v in_o with_o the_o
