king_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v lose_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n which_o be_v his_o inheritance_n by_o a_o lineal_a succession_n in_o this_o nation_n for_o many_o age_n and_o his_o own_o

power_n thereby_o to_o dethrone_v their_o native_a king_n and_o his_o lawful_a successor_n and_o to_o advance_v another_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o there_o be_v any_o of_o they_o live_v 3._o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o this_o meeting_n have_v a_o authoritative_a and_o coercive_a power_n to_o declare_v the_o throne_n vacant_a and_o to_o dispose_v thereof_o sir_n john_n dalrymple_n answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o he_o wonder_v how_o any_o member_n of_o that_o house_n can_v pretend_v to_o be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o reason_n mention_v in_o the_o act_n for_o declare_v the_o throne_n vacant_a or_o so_o obstinate_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o and_o be_v true_a matter_n of_o fact_n it_o be_v visible_a that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o private_a act_n of_o minister_n of_o state_n that_o king_n james_n be_v to_o be_v dethrone_v but_o his_o own_o action_n do_v during_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o reign_n by_o unh_v the_o law_n by_o a_o despotic_a power_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n give_v commission_n contrary_a to_o law_n dispense_n with_o the_o law_n in_o favour_n of_o papist_n erect_v popish_a chapel_n school_n and_o college_n contrary_a to_o law_n and_o whether_o these_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o insinuation_n of_o evil_a minister_n which_o he_o put_v in_o office_n and_o defend_v those_o minister_n so_o put_v in_o

of_o themselves_o let_v we_o but_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o late_a fear_n and_o confusion_n he_o deserted_n we_o go_v to_o france_n private_o to_o our_o enemy_n and_o the_o

and_o as_o the_o protestant_n there_o meet_v with_o hard_a measure_n if_o he_o and_o that_o party_n prevail_v there_o what_o may_v we_o expect_v but_o popery_n and_o slavery_n and_o be_v there_o any_o true_a protestant_n pretend_v what_o he_o please_v can_v dream_v of_o security_n either_o to_o our_o religion_n law_n liberty_n or_o property_n if_o he_o and_o his_o army_n of_o cruel_a french_a and_o

person_n who_o with_o god_n assistance_n can_n and_o will_v secure_v all_o of_o they_o to_o we_o nor_o be_v it_o doubt_v but_o the_o honourable_a estate_n will_v fill_v the_o vacancy_n with_o those_o of_o the_o royal_a line_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n the_o bishop_n cry_v out_o of_o against_o viz._n the_o estate_n advance_v another_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o king_n james_n and_o other_o who_o he_o call_v his_o lawful_a successor_n be_v alive_a answer_v that_o there_o be_v none_o here_o but_o know_v that_o there_o have_v be_v many_o precedent_n of_o this_o nature_n in_o scotland_n where_o the_o estate_n thereof_o have_v dethrone_v their_o king_n and_o queen_n for_o fault_n and_o crime_n and_o advance_v other_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o they_o be_v alive_a but_o still_o of_o the_o same_o line_n and_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v but_o our_o king_n lawful_a successor_n will_v succeed_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n of_o put_v k._n james_n stand_v law_n in_o execution_n after_o his_o return_n answer_v that_o it_o be_v hope_v the_o honourable_a meeting_n before_o they_o separate_v will_v be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o repeal_v several_a of_o these_o which_o
