hereditary_a monarchy_n consist_v in_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n according_a to_o the_o contingency_n of_o blood_n whereas_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v prefer_v the_o next_o save_o one_o

choose_v a_o successor_n which_o can_v only_o be_v that_o they_o have_v a_o power_n above_o he_o shall_v likeways_o in_o my_o opinion_n justify_v their_o depose_n of_o king_n and_o since_o the_o

all_o these_o statute_n which_o acknowledge_v the_o present_a king_n prerogative_n acknowledge_v that_o they_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o his_o heir_n it_o follow_v clear_o that_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v preclude_v the_o one_o they_o may_v exclude_v the_o other_o and_o we_o see_v even_o in_o the_o last_o age_n that_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v now_o urge_v to_o incapacitat_fw-la

himself_o who_o be_v actual_a king_n 8._o that_o such_o act_n of_o parliament_n alter_v the_o succession_n be_v ineffectual_a and_o null_n be_v clear_a from_o this_o that_o though_o such_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v make_v it_o can_v not_o debar_v the_o true_a successor_n because_o by_o the_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o particular_o of_o these_o kingdom_n the_o right_a of_o succession_n purge_v all_o defect_n and_o remove_v all_o impediment_n which_o can_v prejudge_v he_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v and_o as_o craig_n one_o of_o our_o learned_a lawyer_n have_v very_o well_o express_v

thus_o though_o he_o who_o be_v to_o succeed_v have_v commit_v murder_n or_o be_v declare_v a_o traitor_n former_o to_o the_o crown_n for_o open_a rebellion_n against_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n yet_o he_o need_v not_o be_v restore_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n upon_o his_o come_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o his_o very_a right_n of_o blood_n will_v purge_v all_o these_o imperfection_n of_o which_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n give_v by_o lawyer_n one_o be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o rebel_n against_o himself_o nor_o can_v the_o king_n have_v a_o superior_a and_o consequent_o there_o can_v be_v none_o who_o he_o can_v offend_v and_o it_o be_v absurd_a that_o he_o who_o can_v restore_v all_o other_o man_n shall_v need_v to_o be_v restore_v himself_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o punishment_n of_o crime_n such_o as_o confiscation_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o be_v inflict_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n or_o to_o fall_v to_o the_o king_n thesaury_n and_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v exact_v from_o himself_o a_o punishment_n likeas_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o though_o in_o the_o canon_n law_n bastard_n can_v be_v
