change_n of_o the_o monarchy_n from_o a_o hereditary_a to_o a_o elective_a e._n of_o n_n m._n after_o this_o long_a debate_n pray_v let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o come_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v to_o a_o agreement_n we_o have_v propose_v some_o question_n about_o which_o my_o lord_n desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v you_o gentleman_n have_v not_o be_v please_v to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o they_o and_o we_o have_v no_o great_a hope_n of_o get_v one_o from_o you_o as_o this_o debate_n seem_v to_o be_v manage_v on_o your_o part_n you_o have_v declare_v that_o you_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o monarchy_n be_v hereditary_a and_o successive_a in_o the_o right_a line_n then_o i_o can_v see_v how_o such_o a_o acknowledgement_n consist_v with_o the_o reason_n you_o give_v for_o your_o vacancy_n for_o i_o can_v imagine_v how_o a_o kingdom_n can_v be_v a_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o that_o king_n who_o have_v child_n now_o in_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o forsake_v the_o government_n can_v have_v the_o throne_n vacant_a both_o of_o he_o and_o his_o child_n the_o course_n of_o inheritance_n as_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v by_o our_o law_n a_o great_a deal_n better_o provide_v for_o and_o run_v strong_a in_o the_o right_a line_n of_o birth_n than_o of_o any_o other_o inheritance_n no_o attainder_n of_o the_o heir_n of_o the_o crown_n will_v bar_v the_o succession_n to_o the_o throne_n as_o it_o do_v the_o descent_n to_o any_o common_a person_n the_o very_a descent_n by_o order_n of_o birth_n will_v take_v away_o any_o such_o defect_n and_o so_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a lawyer_n of_o england_n in_o the_o case_n of_o henry_n the_o seven_o then_o can_v i_o apprehend_v how_o any_o act_n of_o the_o father_n can_v bar_v the_o right_n of_o the_o child_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n can_v do_v it_o i_o never_o say_v so_o nor_o think_v so_o but_o i_o say_v no_o act_n of_o the_o father_n alone_a can_v do_v it_o since_o even_o the_o act_n of_o the_o son_n which_o may_v endanger_v a_o attainder_n in_o he_o can_v do_v it_o so_o careful_a be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o royal_a line_n of_o succession_n this_o be_v declare_v by_o many_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o very_o full_o and_o particular_o by_o that_o statute_n 25_o henry_n the_o eight_o cap._n 22_o entitle_v a_o act_n concern_v the_o king_n succession_n where_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v limit_v to_o the_o king_n issue-male_n first_o then_o female_a and_o the_o heir_n of_o their_o body_n one_o after_o another_o by_o course_n of_o inheritance_n according_a to_o their_o age_n as_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n have_v be_v accustom_v and_o ought_v to_o go_v in_o such_o case_n if_o then_o the_o king_n have_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o divest_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o right_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v thence_o that_o that_o shall_v exclude_v the_o right_n of_o his_o issue_n and_o then_o the_o throne_n be_v not_o vacant_a as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o such_o issue_n for_o no_o act_n of_o the_o father_n can_v vacant_a for_o himself_o and_o child_n therefore_o if_o you_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o but_o the_o divest_v his_o own_o right_n i_o desire_v you_o will_v declare_v so_o and_o then_o suppose_v the_o right_o go_v as_o to_o he_o yet_o if_o it_o descend_v to_o his_o lineal_a successor_n it_o be_v not_o vacant_a and_o i_o tell_v you_o one_o reason_n my_o lord_n be_v do_v stand_v upon_o against_o agree_v to_o the_o vacancy_n be_v because_o they_o think_v your_o vote_n may_v extend_v a_o great_a deal_n further_o than_o the_o king_n be_v own_o person_n but_o your_o all_o own_n it_o to_o be_v a_o lineal_a inheritance_n and_o this_o vacancy_n methinks_v do_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n consist_v you_o declare_v you_o never_o mean_v to_o alter_v the_o constitution_n than_o you_o must_v preserve_v the_o succession_n in_o its_o ancient_a course_n so_o i_o do_v hear_v a_o worthy_a gentleman_n conclude_v it_o to_o be_v your_o intention_n to_o do_v but_o by_o what_o method_n can_v it_o be_v do_v in_o this_o case_n by_o we_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o a_o few_o thing_n about_o this_o very_a matter_n i_o desire_v first_o to_o know_v whether_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o have_v power_n by_o themselves_o to_o make_v a_o bind_a act_n or_o law_n and_o then_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o according_a to_o our_o ancient_a legal_a constitution_n every_o king_n of_o england_n by_o be_v seat_v on_o the_o throne_n and_o possess_v of_o the_o crown_n be_v not_o thereby_o king_n to_o he_o and_o his_o

that_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n already_o agree_v to_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o vote_n by_o vote_v that_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o our_o religion_n and_o law_n to_o have_v a_o popish_a prince_n to_o rule_v over_o we_o but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o they_o that_o urge_v this_o think_v that_o the_o crown_n of_o spain_n be_v legal_o and_o actual_o exclude_v from_o the_o succession_n by_o this_o vote_n no_o man_n sure_o will_v undertake_v to_o tell_v i_o that_o vote_n of_o either_o house_n or_o both_o house_n together_o can_v alter_v the_o law_n in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o point_n but_o because_o i_o be_o very_o desirous_a that_o this_o vote_n shall_v have_v its_o effect_n i_o desire_v that_o every_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o the_o ancient_a usual_a method_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n god_n forbid_v that_o since_o we_o be_v happy_o deliver_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a power_n we_o shall_v

not_o this_o which_o we_o thus_o endeavour_v to_o crush_v break_v forth_o into_o a_o viper_n for_o that_o record_n of_o 1._o henry_n the_o four_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o word_n of_o the_o royal_a seat_n be_v vacant_a be_v use_v but_o since_o you_o yourselves_o tell_v we_o of_o it_o that_o henry_n the_o four_o do_v claim_v by_o inheritance_n from_o his_o grandfather_n that_o methinks_v may_v come_v up_o to_o what_o i_o will_v have_v the_o declare_a sense_n of_o both_o house_n upon_o this_o question_n to_o wit_n the_o throne_n may_v be_v vacant_a of_o richard_n the_o second_o but_o not_o so_o vacant_a but_o the_o claim_n of_o the_o immediate_a successor_n be_v to_o take_v place_n and_o not_o be_v exclude_v but_o entire_o preserve_v and_o richard_n the_o second_o seem_v to_o have_v have_v the_o same_o opinion_n by_o deliver_v over_o his_o signet_n to_o they_o our_o law_n know_v no_o inter_fw-la regnum_fw-la but_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o the_o predecessor_n the_o next_o heir_n be_v in_o uno_fw-la &_o eodem_fw-la instanti_fw-la it_o be_v so_o resolve_v even_o in_o richard_n the_o second_v own_o case_n for_o at_o his_o grandfather_n death_n it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o king_n richard_n the_o second_o or_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o his_o grandfather_n then_o live_v shall_v succeed_v and_o it_o be_v resolve_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v it_o because_o of_o his_o right_n of_o inheritance_n which_o be_v the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o of_o the_o contest_v and_o when_o richard_n the_o three_o usurp_v his_o crown_n to_o make_v his_o claim_n good_a to_o the_o right_n of_o inheritance_n he_o bastardize_a his_o own_o nephew_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o breach_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o line_n of_o succession_n which_o be_v some_o seven_o but_o all_o illegal_a for_o such_o be_v the_o force_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o usurper_n will_v not_o take_v the_o crown_n upon_o they_o unless_o they_o have_v some_o specious_a pretence_n of_o a_o hereditary_a title_n to_o it_o that_o which_o i_o will_v have_v avoid_v by_o all_o mean_n be_v the_o mischievous_a consequence_n that_o i_o fear_v will_v ensue_v upon_o this_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n to_o wit_n the_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o the_o whole_a costitution_n of_o our_o government_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o and_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o only_o

need_n of_o stand_v upon_o a_o vacancy_n if_o we_o be_v to_o fill_v it_o according_a to_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o time_n and_o of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o make_v the_o choice_n that_o divert_v the_o course_n of_o inheritance_n put_v it_o into_o another_o line_n and_o i_o can_v see_v by_o what_o authority_n we_o can_v do_v that_o or_o change_v our_o ancient_a constitution_n without_o commit_v the_o same_o fault_n we_o have_v lay_v upon_o the_o king_n these_o be_v the_o objection_n against_o the_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n which_o occur_v to_o i_o and_o we_o my_o lord_n desire_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o they_o before_o we_o agree_v to_o the_o vacancy_n and_o i_o think_v the_o answer_v they_o will_v lead_v we_o unto_o that_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o question_n whether_o the_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o fill_v it_o again_o will_v not_o as_o my_o lord_n say_v endanger_v the_o turn_v this_o hereditary_a monarchy_n of_o we_o into_o a_o elective_a one_o mr._n s_o l._n my_o lord_n it_o seem_v very_o strange_a to_o we_o that_o this_o question_n shall_v be_v ask_v we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o show_v that_o your_o lordship_n

the_o conclusion_n of_o our_o vote_n be_v true_a that_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o vacant_a my_o lord_n i_o think_v we_o come_v here_o very_o much_o in_o vain_a till_o this_o point_n be_v settle_v what_o satisfaction_n can_v it_o be_v to_o your_o lordship_n or_o we_o or_o the_o nation_n to_o know_v that_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o vote_n have_v be_v do_v by_o king_n james_n
