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.

which_o be_v to_o be_v as_o a_o province_n or_o piece_n of_o another_o kingdom_n and_o to_o come_v under_o it_o by_o very_a conquest_n itself_o be_v not_o so_o dangerous_a a_o matter_n as_o at_o the_o

of_o the_o question_n before_o propose_v and_o include_v partly_o in_o this_o which_o already_o have_v be_v treat_v to_o wit_n whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v under_o a_o little_a or_o great_a

make_v the_o same_o plain_a these_o man_n do_v say_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v many_o and_o evident_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o subjection_n to_o a_o great_a and_o mighty_a monarch_n be_v far_o better_a first_o for_o that_o he_o be_v best_o able_a to_o defend_v and_o protect_v his_o subject_n and_o second_o for_o that_o he_o have_v least_o need_v ordinary_o to_o pill_n and_o pole_n they_o for_o that_o a_o little_a king_n be_v he_o never_o so_o mean_a yet_o must_v he_o keep_v the_o state_n of_o a_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n must_v maintain_v the_o same_o and_o if_o they_o be_v but_o few_o the_o great_a will_v the_o burden_n be_v of_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o three_o for_o that_o a_o great_a and_o potent_a prince_n have_v more_o to_o bestow_v upon_o his_o subject_n for_o reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o valour_n than_o have_v a_o poor_a and_o see_v that_o every_o particular_a subject_n bear_v within_o his_o prince_n dominion_n be_v capable_a of_o all_o the_o prefermenes_n which_o prince_n state_n or_o kingdom_n do_v yield_v if_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o great_a prerogative_n say_v these_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v under_o a_o potent_a prince_n that_o have_v much_o to_o give_v which_o they_o declare_v by_o this_o example_n follow_v a_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o city_n of_o genova_n or_o geneva_n for_o both_o be_v

that_o state_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o be_v a_o temporal_a man_n he_o can_v not_o hope_v for_o much_o for_o that_o the_o state_n have_v it_o not_o to_o bestow_v but_o another_o that_o be_v bear_v under_o a_o great_a monarch_n as_o be_v the_o king_n of_o france_n or_o spain_n in_o these_o our_o day_n that_o have_v so_o many_o great_a bishopric_n for_o example_n sake_n and_o
