A46818	The prerogative of primogeniture shewing that the right of succession to an hereditary crown, depends not upon grace, religion, &c., but onely upon birth-right and primogeniture, and that the chief cause of all or most rebellions in Christendom, is a fanatical belief that temporal dominion is founded in grace / by David Jenner ...
