A56468 A conference about the next succession to the crown of England divided into two parts : the first containeth the discourse of a civil lawyer, how and in what manner propinquity of bloud is to be preferred : the second containeth the speech of a temporal lawyer about the particular titles of all such as do, or may, pretend (within England or without) to the next succession : whereunto is also added a new and perfect arbor and genealogy of the descents of all the kings and princes of England, from the Conquest to the present day, whereby each mans pretence is made more plain ... / published by R.

of_o the_o say_a queen_n mary_n and_o this_o be_v then_o but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o matter_n will_v fall_v out_o far_o otherwise_o at_o the_o next_o change_n and_o this_o partly_o

have_v not_o these_o passion_n in_o they_o yet_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n they_o do_v see_v the_o great_a absurdity_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o ensue_v by_o that_o a_o man_n of_o one_o

he_o that_o so_o do_v can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o little_a zeal_n at_o the_o least_o if_o not_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o of_o religion_n or_o of_o plain_a atheism_n as_o other_o will_v call_v it_o and_o moreover_o i_o remember_v that_o the_o civilian_n before_o in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o speech_n inveigh_v also_o much_o against_o this_o point_n and_o show_v that_o beside_o lack_v of_o conscience_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n against_o all_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o policy_n to_o favour_v a_o pretender_n of_o a_o different_a religion_n from_o himself_o and_o this_o for_o divers_a reason_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o which_o reason_n i_o confess_v prevail_v much_o with_o i_o and_o i_o do_v allow_v great_o of_o that_o his_o opinion_n

that_o without_o this_o no_o title_n whatsoever_o ought_v to_o prevail_v or_o be_v admit_v by_o christian_a man_n and_o that_o the_o city_n of_o france_n at_o this_o day_n do_v not_o amiss_o but_o
