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.

by_o all_o law_n both_o divine_a and_o humane_a divine_a for_o that_o god_n do_v approve_v that_o form_n of_o government_n which_o every_o commonwealth_n do_v choose_v unto_o itself_o as_o also_o

these_o man_n say_v that_o like_v as_o if_o a_o private_a man_n shall_v make_v his_o inferior_a or_o equal_a to_o be_v his_o prince_n he_o can_v not_o after_o restrain_v the_o same_o again_o and_o so_o neither_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v once_o deliver_v away_o her_o authority_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o comparison_n be_v not_o altogether_o like_a for_o that_o a_o private_a man_n

of_o the_o say_a queen_n mary_n and_o this_o be_v then_o but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o matter_n will_v fall_v out_o far_o otherwise_o at_o the_o next_o change_n and_o this_o partly_o peradventure_o why_o for_o that_o the_o title_n of_o succession_n in_o the_o pretender_n be_v not_o so_o clear_a but_o rather_o much_o more_o doubtful_a now_o than_o they_o be_v then_o and_o partly_o or_o rather_o principal_o for_o that_o man_n in_o time_n be_v come_v to_o be_v of_o more_o resolution_n and_o determination_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o by_o contention_n and_o pursue_v one_o

have_v not_o these_o passion_n in_o they_o yet_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n they_o do_v see_v the_o great_a absurdity_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o ensue_v by_o that_o a_o man_n of_o one_o

as_o other_o will_v call_v it_o and_o moreover_o i_o remember_v that_o the_o civilian_n before_o in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o speech_n inveigh_v also_o much_o against_o this_o point_n and_o show_v that_o beside_o lack_v of_o conscience_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n against_o all_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o policy_n to_o favour_v a_o pretender_n of_o a_o different_a religion_n from_o himself_o and_o this_o for_o divers_a reason_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o which_o reason_n i_o confess_v prevail_v much_o with_o i_o and_o i_o do_v allow_v great_o of_o that_o his_o opinion_n

that_o without_o this_o no_o title_n whatsoever_o ought_v to_o prevail_v or_o be_v admit_v by_o christian_a man_n and_o that_o the_o city_n of_o france_n at_o this_o day_n do_v not_o amiss_o but_o

confess_v his_o title_n to_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a for_o that_o he_o be_v of_o contrary_a religion_n to_o they_o wherefore_o see_v that_o the_o very_a same_o case_n be_v like_a or_o rather_o
