that_o the_o crown_n and_o succession_n be_v frequent_o dispose_v and_o settle_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n i_o shall_v need_v instance_n but_o in_o some_o few_o particular_n in_o the_o 25._o of_o

dispose_v of_o the_o succession_n by_o his_o own_o letter_n patent_n or_o his_o last_o will._n in_o the_o 35th_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n the_o parliament_n grant_v the_o succession_n to_o edward_n and_o for_o want_v of_o heir_n of_o his_o body_n to_o the_o lady_n mary_n and_o the_o heir_n of_o her_o body_n and_o for_o want_v of_o such_o heir_n to_o the_o lady_n elizabeth_n but_o both_o

these_o act_n we_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o english_a crown_n be_v whole_o subject_v to_o the_o disposal_n determination_n and_o limitation_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o that_o right_a lay_n in_o they_o henry_n the_o 8_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o that_o wisdom_n and_o prudence_n and_o so_o far_o from_o submit_v to_o

in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o three_o act_n they_o declare_v that_o their_o zeal_n for_o settle_v the_o succession_n be_v for_o prevention_n of_o those_o mischief_n and_o that_o bloodshed_n that_o may_v possible_o be_v occasion_v by_o future_a dispute_n here_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o whilst_o they_o thus_o bandy_v the_o succession_n so_o many_o various_a way_n by_o three_o several_a act_n in_o one_o king_n reign_n they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o respect_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n as_o the_o kingdom_n safety_n for_o have_v they_o be_v so_o passionate_o tender_a for_o the_o next_o of_o blood_n in_o that_o age_n as_o some_o will_v have_v we_o be_v in_o this_o they_o will_v never_o have_v exclude_v the_o lady_n mary_n and_o elizabeth_n from_o the_o crown_n in_o one_o act_n or_o never_o have_v readmit_v they_o again_o in_o another_o beside_o one_o thing_n be_v remarkable_a in_o these_o act_n of_o parliament_n viz._n the_o last_o act_n of_o parliament_n give_v the_o succession_n to_o those_o very_a lady_n who_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v before_o declare_v and_o record_v illegitimate_a nay_o they_o have_v proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v it_o treason_n for_o any_o man_n by_o write_v or_o print_v to_o say_v or_o declare_v that_o either_o the_o lady_n mary_n or_o the_o lady_n elizabeth_n be_v legitimate_a and_o yet_o afterward_o these_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o debar_v they_o from_o a_o throne_n and_o england_n be_v never_o more_o blessed_v than_o under_o the_o long_a and_o glorious_a reign_n of_o that_o excellent_a princess_n elizabeth_n how_o illegitimate_a soever_o she_o have_v be_v render_v i_o shall_v only_o cite_v one_o act_n more_o and_o that_o be_v the_o 13_o of_o elizabeth_n where_o it_o be_v make_v treason_n to_o

of_o parliament_n we_o meet_v so_o many_o snarler_n against_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o last_o i_o know_v no_o excuse_n they_o can_v make_v for_o themselves_o but_o by_o own_v their_o ignorance_n to_o be_v as_o great_a as_o their_o impudence_n if_o then_o which_o no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a wit_n can_v deny_v our_o religion_n life_n and_o liberty_n be_v only_o hold_v by_o a_o protestant_a
