the_o very_a essence_n of_o a_o hereditary_a monarchy_n consist_v in_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n according_a to_o the_o contingency_n of_o blood_n whereas_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v

clear_o that_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v preclude_v the_o one_o they_o may_v exclude_v the_o other_o and_o we_o see_v even_o in_o the_o last_o age_n that_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v now_o urge_v

such_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v make_v it_o can_v not_o debar_v the_o true_a successor_n because_o by_o the_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o particular_o of_o these_o kingdom_n the_o right_a
