of_o birth_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v great_o respect_v by_o god_n and_o according_a to_o that_o all_o the_o descent_n and_o succession_n of_o king_n be_v common_o among_o that_o people_n for_o that_o ordinary_o the_o elder_a son_n ever_o succeed_v his_o father_n in_o the_o crown_n of_o jury_n and_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n will_v show_v even_o in_o this_o beginning_n that_o

each_o pretender_n for_o his_o own_o safety_n and_o defence_n will_v arm_v himself_o and_o his_o friend_n at_o the_o beginning_n for_o that_o better_a condition_n will_v be_v make_v with_o armour_n in_o hand_n than_o when_o a_o man_n be_v naked_a or_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o adversary_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o more_o pretender_n shall_v stand_v together_o arm_v at_o the_o

will_v be_v also_o a_o ground_n of_o much_o security_n these_o be_v my_o reason_n and_o conjectur_n why_o it_o be_v like_o that_o arm_n will_v be_v take_v at_o the_o begin_n in_o england_n before_o this_o controversy_n can_v be_v decide_v my_o second_o position_n and_o conjecture_n be_v probable_a that_o this_o matter_n be_v not_o like_a to_o come_v easy_o to_o any_o great_a or_o main_a battle_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v end_v at_o length_n by_o some_o composition_n and_o general_a agreement_n and_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v these_o first_o for_o that_o the_o pretender_n be_v many_o and_o their_o power_n and_o friend_n lie_v in_o divers_a and_o different_a part_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o two_o then_o be_v it_o more_o probable_a that_o they_o will_v soon_o come_v to_o a_o battle_n but_o be_v many_o each_o one_o will_v fear_v the_o other_o and_o seek_v to_o fortify_v himself_o where_o his_o own_o strength_n lie_v and_o especial_o towards_o the_o port_n and_o seaside_n for_o receive_v of_o succour_n as_o easy_o may_v be_v do_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o competitor_n as_o have_v be_v say_v which_o will_v cause_v that_o at_o home_o the_o one_o will_v not_o much_o urge_v or_o press_v the_o other_o at_o the_o beginning_n but_o every_o part_n attend_v rather_o to_o strengthen_v than_o itself_o for_o the_o time_n a_o second_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v for_o that_o the_o foreign_a prince_n and_o state_n round_o about_o we_o be_v like_a to_o be_v much_o divide_v in_o this_o matter_n some_o as_o pretendent_o for_o themselves_o or_o their_o kindred_n and_o friend_n and_o other_o as_o favourer_n of_o this_o or_o that_o party_n for_o religion_n so_o as_o there_o will_v not_o want_v present_o offer_v of_o help_n and_o succour_n from_o abroad_o which_o succour_n albeit_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o mean_a or_o small_a at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o will_v they_o be_v of_o much_o importance_n when_o the_o force_n at_o home_n be_v divide_v and_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v different_a port_n harbour_v and_o hold_v ready_a within_o the_o land_n to_o receive_v and_o harbour_v they_o so_o as_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o this_o affair_n will_v grow_v somewhat_o long_o and_o so_o be_v end_v at_o length_n by_o some_o composition_n only_o and_o that_o either_o by_o parliament_n and_o general_n consent_v of_o all_o part_n pretendent_o and_o of_o all_o three_o body_n of_o religion_n meet_v together_o by_o their_o deputy_n and_o treat_v and_o conclude_v some_o form_n of_o agreement_n as_o we_o see_v it_o practise_v now_o in_o france_n or_o else_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n of_o commissary_n commissioner_n legatss_n deputy_n or_o the_o like_a to_o make_v the_o conclusion_n with_o every_o party_n asunder_o prevail_v my_o three_o and_o last_o conjecture_n and_o for_o a_o mere_a conjecture_n only_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o hold_v it_o that_o see_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o pretender_n whiâ—h_o stand_v for_o this_o preferment_n the_o one_o stranger_n the_o other_o english_a my_o opinion_n be_v that_o of_o any_o one_o foreign_a prince_n that_o pretend_v the_o infanta_n of_o spain_n be_v like_a to_o bear_v it_o away_o or_o some_o other_o by_o her_o title_n lay_v upon_o he_o by_o her_o father_n the_o king_n good_a will_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o any_o domestical_a competitor_n the_o second_o son_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o hartford_n or_o of_o the_o issue_n of_o countess_n of_o derby_n carry_v much_o show_n to_o be_v prefete_v spain_n my_o reason_n for_o the_o former_a part_n about_o the_o lady_n infanta_n be_v that_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n and_o may_v easy_o join_v if_o her_o father_n will_v the_o title_n of_o brittany_n and_o portugal_n together_o she_o be_v also_o unmarried_a and_o by_o her_o marriage_n may_v make_v some_o other_o composition_n either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o that_o may_v facilitate_v the_o matter_n she_o be_v a_o great_a princess_n and_o fit_a for_o some_o great_a state_n and_o other_o prince_n perhaps_o of_o christendom_n will_v more_o willing_o yield_v and_o concur_v to_o such_o a_o composition_n of_o matter_n by_o this_o lady_n and_o by_o cast_v all_o foreign_a title_n of_o britanny_n and_o portugal_n upon_o she_o then_o that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n shall_v pretend_v for_o himself_o and_o thereby_o increase_v his_o monarchy_n which_o other_o prince_n his_o neighbour_n in_o reason_n of_o state_n will_v not_o so_o well_o allow_v or_o bear_v in_o england_n also_o itself_o if_o any_o party_n or_o person_n be_v affect_v that_o way_n he_o will_v think_v hereby_o to_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n and_o if_o any_o be_v against_o stranger_n some_o such_o moderation_n as_o this_o will_v take_v away_o much_o of_o this_o aversion_n as_o also_o of_o argument_n against_o it_o for_o that_o hereby_o it_o seem_v that_o no_o subjection_n can_v be_v fear_v to_o any_o foreign_a realm_n but_o rather_o divers_a utility_n to_o the_o realm_n of_o england_n as_o these_o man_n pretend_v by_o the_o reason_n before_o allege_a in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n i_o say_v also_o that_o this_o lady_n infanta_n or_o some_o other_o by_o her_o title_n and_o her_o father_n good_a will_n be_v like_a of_o all_o stranger_n to_o bear_v it_o away_o for_o that_o if_o she_o shall_v either_o die_v or_o be_v marry_v

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

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
