branch_n of_o the_o family_n which_o be_v think_v more_o capable_a of_o promote_a the_o public_a end_n of_o the_o government_n in_o its_o present_a circumstance_n and_o we_o find_v no_o public_a censure_n ever_o pass_v upon_o such_o a_o king_n or_o his_o authority_n and_o government_n in_o the_o least_o disable_v thereby_o and_o to_o make_v this_o matter_n unquestionable_o evident_a to_o any_o man_n who_o be_v not_o far_o go_v in_o the_o conceit_n that_o the_o inheritance_n or_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v jure_v divine_a i_o add_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v be_v allow_v by_o die_v whole_a legislative_a power_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o crown_n by_o their_o nomination_n which_o as_o it_o may_v suppose_v that_o they_o will_v not_o give_v it_o out_o of_o the_o royal_a family_n so_o it_o must_v suppose_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a it_o shall_v descend_v to_o the_o immediate_a heir_n for_o he_o be_v determine_v by_o nature_n can_v receive_v no_o advantage_n from_o such_o a_o nomination_n thus_o particular_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o henry_n the_o eight_o and_o he_o according_a to_o the_o statute_n in_o that_o behalf_n settle_v the_o crown_n on_o his_o son_n edward_n and_o the_o remainder_n on_o his_o daughter_n mary_n and_o elizabeth_n both_o which_o can_v not_o be_v heir_n and_o we_o find_v it_o also_o enact_v in_o the_o 13_o of_o eliz._n that_o whoever_o shall_v maintain_v in_o her_o time_n that_o she_o and_o she_o parliament_n may_v not_o limit_v the_o descent_n of_o the_o crown_n shall_v incur_v the_o gild_n of_o high-treason_n and_o after_o her_o life_n the_o forfeiture_n of_o his_o good_n from_o which_o authentic_a testimony_n we_o can_v conclude_v less_o than_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o the_o neat_a immediate_a heir_n shall_v always_o succeed_v 2._o let_v we_o consider_v that_o our_o allegiance_n be_v remove_v from_o the_o late_a king_n it_o must_v be_v refer_v to_o some_o other_o person_n and_o we_o can_v think_v of_o none_o for_o who_o sake_n we_o may_v just_o deny_v it_o to_o the_o present_a king._n the_o pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n lie_v under_o such_o a_o general_a and_o vehement_a suspicion_n of_o be_v a_o impostor_n and_o be_v at_o present_a under_o the_o conduct_n and_o disposal_n of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n we_o see_v in_o he_o more_o reason_n to_o dissuade_v than_o invite_v our_o allegiance_n our_o present_a queen_n who_o be_v the_o next_o immediate_a heir_n be_v not_o pretermit_v and_o though_o she_o have_v a_o consort_n in_o the_o royal_a dignity_n yet_o he_o be_v such_o as_o be_v by_o marriage_n become_v out_o with_o she_o and_o who_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o partnership_n not_o without_o her_o advice_n and_o consent_n and_o the_o king_n himself_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o royal_a family_n not_o far_o remove_v in_o the_o succession_n and_o who_o by_o the_o late_a glorious_a enterprise_n have_v retrieve_v the_o right_n of_o both_o the_o royal_a sister_n and_o secure_v the_o government_n itself_o from_o subversion_n it_o can_v but_o seem_v very_o indecent_a and_o unjust_a to_o overlook_v he_o in_o our_o allegiance_n if_o last_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o protestant_a interest_n in_o christendom_n and_o the_o civil_a interest_n of_o our_o own_o nation_n and_o of_o some_o of_o our_o best_a neighbour_n be_v at_o present_a in_o most_o imminent_a and_o extraordinary_a danger_n which_o in_o human_a probability_n be_v not_o to_o be_v avoid_v but_o by_o the_o prowess_n and_o conduct_n of_o this_o illustrious_a prince_n who_o god_n have_v by_o a_o special_a providence_n raise_v up_o among_o we_o we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o the_o series_n of_o providence_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o affair_n have_v determine_v our_o allegiance_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v unreasonable_o nice_a who_o can_v sacrifice_v such_o great_a interest_n to_o a_o empty_a

according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n we_o become_v punishable_a in_o refuse_v it_o and_o be_v indemnify_v in_o perform_v it_o although_o his_o antecedent_n title_n to_o the_o crown_n may_v
