be_v a_o disclaimer_n of_o that_o trust_n though_o he_o do_v not_o disclaim_v it_o by_o a_o formal_a deed._n from_o all_o this_o they_o draw_v these_o just_a consequence_n that_o king_n james_n have_v act_v contrary_a to_o his_o trust_n have_v abdicate_v his_o government_n and_o that_o have_v abdicate_v it_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o become_v vacant_a but_o the_o lord_n insist_v that_o the_o

to_o come_v in_o as_o by_o hereditary_a succession_n the_o commons_o reply_v that_o their_o lordship_n hold_v it_o a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o go_v upon_o the_o examination_n who_o be_v heir_n and_o demand_v if_o that_o be_v not_o clear_a whether_o they_o be_v always_o to_o remain_v under_o the_o difficulty_n as_o for_o the_o commons_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v what_o word_n be_v use_v fill_v
