A True and Exact HISTORY OF THE SUCCESSION OF THE CROWN OF ENGLAND Collected out of Records and the best Historians Written for the Information of such as have been deluded and seduced by the Pamphlet called The Brief History of the Succession c. pretended to have been written for the Satisfaction of the Earl of H. LONDON Printed for Cave Pulleyn in the Year MDCLXXXI A True and Exact History of the SVCCESSION of the CROWN of ENGLAND IN the Year 1594. Parsons the Jesuit or as Mr. Camden says He Cardinal Allen and Sir Francis Inglefield under the name of R. Doleman wrote a Book entituled A Conference about the next Succession to the Crown of England divided into two Parts The first pretended to have been the Discourse of a Civil Lawyer concerning Succession by Proximity of Blood in general contains for the most part in nine Chapters the very Principles of Sedition and Rebellion proved and maintained as is there also pretended by Examples and Texts of Holy Scripture Examples in France Spain Germany England and other Nations The English Examples and Instances generally are partially cited or mis-applied or not fully understood by the Author and are matter of fact only The Second Part is there said to be the Speech of a Temporal Lawyer about the particular Titles of all such as might pretend within England or without to the next Succession after Queen Elizabeth which according to his Account were ten or eleven yet this Author says if any body will believe him That this Treatise was wrote out of singular Affection and Devotion to that excellent Princess and with special care of her Safety It was dedicated to the Earl of Essex with design after the Queen of Scots was taken off to baffle the Title of King James who was her immediate Heir and either to fix it upon the Earl for whom he had made a Title or to promote a Contention between the King and him about it while by some means or other which was their main intention the Infanta of Spain by a far-fetch'd Title might obtain the Kingdom and thereby advance their own Purposes and Religion How justly this Book is censured by the Judicious Camden and branded with Perfidiousness and Design to delude and abuse the People raise Tumults and Seditions the Reader may see in the places cited in the Margin In the Year 1648. as a Preparative to the Deposition and Murther of King Charles the First there was published a Pamphlet and printed at London by Robert Ibbitson under the Title of Several Speeches delivered at a Conference concerning the Power of Parliaments to proceed against their King for Mis-Government And the Heads in the Title Page upon which these Speeches are pretended to be made are in number nine and the very same verbatim with the Titles of Doleman's nine Chapters in his first Part of the Conference touching the Succession to the Crown and the Matter and words of the Speeches themselves almost in all things are the very same except the Transitions Connexions and some few not material passages which are left out From these Conferences of Doleman which by crafty Men were published by Retail in several Pamphlets Speeches Declarations pernicious Deductions c. and from the nine Speeches last mentioned all the Factions in the late times of Rebellion were furnished with Arguments Reasons Examples and Pretences for their Seditious Practices And the Suggestions of the Act for the Tryal of King Charles the First and the Materials of the long Speech Bradshaw made to declare the Grounds of the Sentence and aggravate the things laid to his charge by mis-applying both Law and History were borrowed from these Books as likewise was much of the most seditious part of Milton's Book entituled The Defence for the People of England Also in the Year 1655. at London was printed an Abstract of Parsons his Book containing the Substance and often the Words of it The Chapters being divided into several short Sections with Titles to each of them this bears the name of a Treatise concerning the broken Succession of the Crown of England To what end it was at that time published I cannot guess unless to set up a Foreign Title or make way for Oliver Cromwell's Kingship And how lately there hath come forth a Pamphlet under the name of A Brief History of the Succession collected out of the Records and most Authentick Historians for the Satisfaction of the Earl of H. Much or the Materials of this Pamphlet and most of the History contained in it concerning the Succession are taken out of the Jesuit's Book the Speeches and Abstract before mentioned but this Author's industry leads him further than Polydor Virgil who is mostly cited by his three Predecessors and sometimes Stowe and Hollinshead And for the making his Work more plausible and passable and more readily to be received by his ordinary Readers he takes very little notice of Polydor who pointed him to his Authors and Places but cites William of Malmsbury Henry of Pluntington Simeon Dunelm Ailredus Abbas Rievallensis Brompton and others ancient Writers in his Saxon Instances especially whose Words if faithfully cited would have been of no use to him for often in the middle of the Sentences and of Records he hath cited he hath left out such Words and Matters as would have ruined the Design or his History A Paralel of his Words with the true Words of the Authors from whence he had them will be given at the latter end of this Treatise Hence we proceed to the Succession by a true History whereof Men will be able to judg what was the Government and how the Crown hath Hereditarily discended for many Ages in this Nation And though History is so deficient and the many Rencòuntèrs and Invasions of one another's Territories and Bickerings between the petty Kings and Governors of the Saxons in the time of the Heptarchy the Succession cannot be well made out yet though not in all we may be able to make out a Succession in the greatest and most Illustrious Kingdom of them which was that of the West-Saxions The Saxon Succession Egbert who is commonly said to be the first Saxon Monarch though he brought not the whole Heptarchy under his Power and Government succeeded Brihtric King of the West-Saxons The Words of the Saxon Chronicle are these only BEORHTRIC CYNING FORTHFERD ECGRYHT FENG to WEST-SEAXNA RICE Which words the Translator thus renders Beorhtricus Rex Occidentalium obiit Egbryhtus Occidentalium Saxonum Regnum Capessit And Florence of Worcester who strictly follows this Chronicle says Rex Occidentalium Saxonum Brihtricus obiit Egbertus successit that is Brihtric died and Egbert King of the West-Saxons took the Kingdom or succeeded him Simeon Dunelmensis says Defuncto Rege glorioso Brihtrico Occidentalis regni suscepit post ipsius obitum Regnum Impertum Egbertus Rex qui ex regali illius gentis prosapia
