A40703	Agreement betwixt the present and the former government, or, A discourse of this monarchy, whether elective or hereditary? also of abdication, vacancy, interregnum, present possession of the crown, and the reputation of the Church of England ; with an answer to objections thence arising, against taking the new Oath of Allegiance, for the satisfaction of the scrupulous / by a divine of the Church of England, the author of a little tract entituled, Obedience due to the present King, nothwithstanding our oaths to the former.

the_o only_a friend_n he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n but_o his_o kingdom_n only_a enemy_n in_o a_o word_n to_o put_v a_o end_n industrious_o to_o all_o government_n at_o home_n and_o as_o far_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v to_o deliver_v himself_o and_o his_o kingdom_n into_o the_o power_n of_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o abdication_n with_o a_o witness_n at_o least_o so_o far_o as_o to_o leave_v the_o throne_n vacant_a chap._n vi_o of_o vacancy_n and_o interregnum_fw-la but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o if_o the_o late_a king_n do_v abdicate_v the_o government_n and_o thereby_o the_o throne_n become_v void_a then_o we_o admit_v a_o interregnum_fw-la contrary_a to_o a_o ancient_a maxim_n in_o our_o government_n but_o the_o convention_n do_v declare_v that_o the_o late_a king_n do_v so_o abdicate_v and_o the_o throne_n be_v vacant_a therefore_o they_o have_v alter_v the_o constitution_n of_o our_o government_n answ_n 1._o hereunto_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o for_o my_o part_n know_v no_o law_n against_o the_o possibility_n either_o of_o a_o vacancy_n in_o the_o throne_n or_o a_o interregnum_fw-la i_o mean_v in_o extraordinary_a case_n such_o as_o we_o be_v or_o when_o the_o royal_a family_n may_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v extinct_a or_o all_o the_o remain_a branch_n of_o it_o be_v know_v to_o have_v imbibe_v principle_n direct_o against_o the_o interest_n and_o religion_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o destructive_a of_o what_o shall_v be_v preserve_v i_o can_v say_v but_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n seem_v to_o consist_v with_o some_o ancient_a transaction_n of_o our_o state_n 2._o for_o a_o vacancy_n in_o the_o throne_n we_o have_v a_o express_a precedent_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o parliament_n about_o richard_n the_o second_o and_o if_o so_o that_o will_v infer_v so_o much_o of_o a_o interregnum_fw-la too_o 3._o i_o confess_v of_o late_a time_n the_o recognition_n of_o the_o parliament_n make_v to_o k._n james_n the_o first_o seem_v to_o exclude_v both_o a_o vacancy_n and_o a_o interregnum_fw-la that_o be_v at_o least_o when_o thing_n proceed_v ordinary_o and_o regular_o the_o word_n be_v immediate_o upon_o the_o decease_n of_o the_o queen_n the_o imperial_a crown_n do_v by_o inherent_a birthright_n descend_v to_o you_o the_o next_o heir_n of_o the_o blood_n royal._n and_o this_o it_o concern_v i_o to_o observe_v as_o agreeable_a to_o the_o hereditarines_n of_o our_o monarchy_n as_o before_o i_o have_v declare_v it_o a_o digression_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v always_o remember_v and_o that_o we_o still_o carry_v this_o along_o with_o we_o that_o though_o the_o crown_n be_v hereditable_a yet_o government_n be_v a_o office_n and_o service_n or_o ministry_n to_o we_o for_o good_a rom._n 13._o and_o that_o by_o our_o law_n it_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o office_n that_o it_o may_v be_v lose_v three_o way_n either_o by_o insufficiency_n or_o forfeiture_n or_o session_n call_v non-qualification_n abuser_n or_o non-use_a and_o how_o far_o these_o or_o any_o of_o they_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o possessor_n of_o the_o crown_n in_o england_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n at_o present_a we_o shall_v observe_v that_o he_o that_o take_v a_o office_n though_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o inheritance_n take_v it_o with_o its_o condition_n and_o burden_n indeed_o there_o be_v advantage_n and_o profit_n annex_v to_o the_o office_n and_o sometime_o real_a estate_n in_o land_n which_o be_v inseparable_a from_o it_o and_o can_v be_v lose_v while_o the_o officer_n continue_v in_o the_o office_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o our_o crown-land_n wherein_o the_o king_n have_v rectum_fw-la dominion_n in_o right_n of_o the_o crown_n which_o no_o man_n have_v in_o his_o land_n beside_o the_o king._n yet_o if_o the_o government_n be_v a_o office_n and_o these_o crown-land_n be_v in_o the_o king_n as_o he_o be_v king_n and_o have_v that_o office_n and_o not_o simple_o in_o he_o as_o f●●_v such_o a_o person_n he_o can_v lose_v they_o any_o way_n during_o his_o be_v king_n but_o he_o seem_v to_o hold_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o benefit_n from_o and_o for_o another_o i._n e._n his_o kingdom_n he_o owe_v duty_n for_o it_o though_o not_o fealty_n for_o it_o and_o the_o statute_n 37_o hen._n 8._o cap._n 16._o use_v

insist_v upon_o whether_o the_o convention_n do_v indeed_o declare_v the_o throne_n vacant_a and_o whether_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o vacancy_n to_o be_v so_o absolute_a as_o to_o

they_o do_v they_o do_v so_o as_o our_o representative_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o that_o satisfy_v we_o at_o least_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o see_v their_o so_o declare_v pass_v not_o into_o our_o allegiance_n or_o the_o succeed_a exercise_n of_o the_o government_n beside_o we_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o enjoy_v our_o private_a thought_n about_o it_o and_o though_o they_o declare_v so_o we_o be_v neither_o require_v to_o declare_v it_o or_o to_o believe_v it_o 2._o but_o in_o truth_n whatever_o may_v pass_v at_o the_o conference_n of_o the_o house_n about_o it_o their_o word_n that_o give_v we_o their_o act_n in_o public_a do_v not_o express_v or_o formal_o make_v any_o declaration_n that_o the_o throne_n be_v vacant_a their_o word_n be_v these_o k._n james_n

we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o vacancy_n to_o be_v so_o absolute_a as_o necessary_o to_o infer_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o convention_n a_o utter_a interregnum_fw-la sol._n in_o general_a my_o answer_n be_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o such_o a_o belief_n nor_o indeed_o any_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o my_o apprehension_n the_o convention_n as_o i_o observe_v before_o do_v not_o declare_v a_o vacancy_n at_o all_o only_o they_o suppose_v it_o as_o the_o undoubted_a consequence_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o abdication_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n and_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o void_a now_o that_o the_o king_n abdication_n do_v or_o do_v not_o leave_v the_o throne_n vacant_a depend_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o be_v not_o affect_v

effect_v a_o vacancy_n in_o the_o throne_n 2._o whether_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o the_o convention_n do_v suppose_v a_o vacancy_n in_o any_o other_o sense_n 3._o consequent_o whether_o that_o sense_n imply_v a_o interregnum_fw-la quest_n 1._o how_o far_o a_o total_a abdication_n of_o the_o government_n may_v or_o do_v necessary_o effect_v a_o vacancy_n in_o the_o throne_n sol._n for_o the_o clear_a answer_n to_o this_o we_o must_v take_v our_o measure_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o government_n which_o have_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v hereditary_a 1._o now_o if_o
