matter_n of_o fact_n may_v have_v swear_v the_o contrary_a but_o as_o for_o send_v any_o summons_n for_o they_o into_o france_n it_o be_v altogether_o in_o vain_a and_o also_o that_o which_o the_o convention_n be_v not_o at_o all_o oblige_v to_o do_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a because_o neither_o king_n james_n nor_o his_o q._n do_v ever_o own_o the_o power_n of_o the_o convention_n to_o hear_v or_o determine_v this_o affair_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o have_v let_v the_o witness_n come_v over_o for_o after_o the_o throne_n be_v declare_v vacant_a the_o king_n must_v by_o send_v those_o

so_o that_o any_o such_o summons_n will_v certain_o have_v be_v only_o reject_v with_o scorn_n and_o we_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o but_o the_o loss_n of_o so_o much_o time_n and_o hinder_v our_o present_a settlement_n and_o defence_n a_o whole_a summer_n nor_o be_v the_o convention_n oblige_v to_o do_v it_o since_o the_o parliament_n itself_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o take_v cognizance_n of_o any_o person_n or_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o within_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n or_o the_o territory_n belong_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o their_o business_n to_o inquire_v without_o it_o have_v be_v bring_v before_o they_o what_o be_v become_v of_o this_o infant_n whether_o he_o be_v legitimate_a or_o not_o or_o whether_o he_o be_v alive_a or_o else_o have_v be_v cast_v away_o at_o sea_n or_o take_v by_o pirate_n any_o of_o which_o may_v very_o well_o have_v be_v and_o therefore_o indeed_o this_o business_n can_v never_o have_v be_v decide_v unless_o the_o infant_n himself_o be_v actual_o present_a and_o sufficient_a proof_n make_v not_o only_o that_o this_o be_v the_o same_o child_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o queen_n but_o which_o be_v also_o carry_v away_o

james_n and_o his_o queen_n will_v never_o admit_v of_o as_o thing_n now_o stand_v therefore_o since_o a_o thorough_a examination_n into_o this_o business_n be_v impossible_a to_o have_v be_v

the_o case_n be_v so_o as_o you_o have_v put_v it_o the_o kingdom_n ought_v however_o to_o have_v remain_v without_o a_o king_n till_o the_o succession_n have_v be_v due_o settle_v since_o according_a to_o the_o act_n of_o recognition_n to_o king_n james_n i._n the_o nation_n do_v not_o only_o oblige_v themselves_o but_o their_o posterity_n that_o be_v we_o that_o be_v now_o alive_a to_o that_o

the_o prince_n of_o wales_n to_o have_v be_v either_o dead_a or_o just_o lay_v aside_o now_o make_v it_o out_o to_o i_o how_o you_o can_v justify_v the_o place_v the_o prince_n and_o princess_n of_o orange_n in_o the_o throne_n when_o the_o crown_n be_v real_o her_o right_n after_o the_o prince_n of_o wales_n and_o not_o her_o husband_n as_o also_o the_o put_v the_o government_n sole_o into_o

when_o it_o may_v be_v do_v without_o any_o apparent_a hazard_n or_o prejudice_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o government_n which_o i_o think_v may_v have_v be_v as_o well_o if_o not_o better_o secure_v by_o let_v it_o have_v go_v in_o the_o right_a line_n that_o by_o place_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o though_o it_o be_v true_a be_v of_o the_o blood-royal_a by_o his_o mother_n yet_o be_v a_o foreigner_n be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n to_o our_o government_n and_o law_n and_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o calvinistical_a principle_n and_o upon_o that_o score_n be_v not_o like_a to_o have_v any_o good_a intention_n towards_o the_o government_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o

to_o make_v against_o place_v king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n in_o the_o throne_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o be_v of_o any_o great_a moment_n to_o yourself_o or_o any_o other_o considerate_a man_n for_o if_o that_o upon_o the_o abdication_n of_o king_n james_n and_o the_o impossibity_n of_o determine_v your_o prince_n of_o wales_n title_n if_o it_o be_v one_o a_o regency_n be_v impracticable_a and_o unsafe_a for_o the_o nation_n at_o this_o conjuncture_n of_o time_n when_o we_o want_v a_o king_n to_o hold_v a_o parliament_n as_o well_o to_o raise_v money_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o the_o power_n of_o france_n as_o also_o to_o make_v new_a law_n for_o the_o ease_n and_o reformation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n all_o which_o a_o regent_n act_v without_o royal_a authority_n can_v never_o do_v by_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o kingdom_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v now_o a_o necessity_n of_o place_v some_o body_n in_o the_o throne_n for_o the_o common_a good_a and_o safety_n of_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n i_o think_v you_o yourself_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n have_v a_o hereditary_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o if_o her_o highness_n have_v the_o prince_n her_o husband_n also_o aught_o to_o govern_v the_o kingdom_n in_o she_o right_o during_o her_o life_n and_o those_o who_o deny_v king_n henry_n the_o viith_o to_o be_v lawful_a king_n before_o his_o marriage_n with_o the_o princess_n elizabeth_n will_v yet_o grant_v he_o be_v so_o in_o she_o right_o after_o his_o marriage_n and_o this_o have_v not_o be_v

of_o arragon_n by_o marry_v with_o isabel_n queen_n of_o castille_n govern_v that_o kingdom_n during_o his_o life_n so_o also_o anthony_n duke_n of_o bourbon_n marry_v with_o jane_n queen_n of_o

but_o for_o his_o own_o life_n also_o to_o the_o prejudice_n not_o only_o of_o his_o own_o issue_n if_o ever_o he_o have_v any_o by_o the_o princess_n but_o also_o of_o the_o princess_n of_o denmark_n and_o her_o heir_n f._n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o show_v you_o that_o this_o may_v be_v easy_o justify_v by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o former_a precedent_n of_o what_o have_v be_v do_v in_o the_o like_a case_n first_o as_o to_o the_o constitution_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o upon_o the_o deposition_n of_o a_o king_n which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o a_o forfeiture_n of_o the_o crown_n the_o great_a council_n or_o parliament_n have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o elect_n or_o admit_v either_o the_o next_o heir_n by_o blood_n or_o some_o prince_n though_o more_o

the_o kingdom_n from_o the_o tyranny_n and_o evil_a government_n of_o richard_n the_o ●id_n i_o shall_v pass_v by_o richard_n the_o iiid_n because_o i_o own_o his_o government_n to_o have_v begin_v

before_o his_o marriage_n with_o the_o princess_n elizabeth_n settle_v the_o crown_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o heir_n of_o his_o body_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o he_o hold_v it_o all_o his_o reign_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n do_v in_o the_o present_a case_n of_o king_n william_n since_o he_o have_v only_o the_o crown_n settle_v upon_o he_o during_o his_o own_o life_n with_o the_o

agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v hold_v the_o crown_n by_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o courtesy_n of_o england_n during_o his_o life_n and_o not_o from_o a_o king_n to_o become_v a_o

dress_v up_o a_o pretty_a plausible_a title_n for_o king_n william_n but_o yet_o all_o that_o you_o have_v say_v amount_n to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o because_o other_o king_n have_v be_v
