the_o government_n of_o the_o succession_n in_o the_o r._n empire_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o emperor_n show_v that_o succession_n to_o be_v arbitrary_a and_o not_o hereditary_a and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o answer_v iovian's_n objection_n that_o it_o yield_v the_o point_n wherefore_o to_o his_o second_o and_o three_o position_n i_o shall_v return_v he_o a_o answer_n almost_o in_o his_o

power_n of_o declare_v who_o he_o will_v relation_n or_o stranger_n his_o successor_n what_o sort_n of_o hereditary_a succession_n be_v that_o in_o which_o the_o first_o of_o the_o family_n name_v a_o single_a successor_n the_o second_o name_v a_o three_o and_o the_o survivor_n of_o they_o though_o he_o have_v no_o other_o choice_n if_o mr._n i._o mistake_v not_o yet_o do_v amiss_o in_o name_v julian_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v name_v a_o stranger_n i_o conceive_v that_o succession_n be_v every_o whit_n as_o much_o elective_a which_o depend_v on_o the_o free_a choice_n and_o nomination_n of_o one_o person_n as_o that_o which_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o majority_n of_o a_o hundred_o vote_n what_o he_o add_v to_o prove_v the_o empire_n hereditary_a in_o the_o family_n of_o valentinian_n and_o theodosius_n serve_v only_o to_o increase_v that_o dislike_n which_o i_o ever_o have_v to_o work_n of_o supererogation_n it_o be_v all_o mere_a rhetoric_n such_o good_a wish_n and_o compliment_n as_o may_v have_v be_v make_v a_o king_n of_o poland_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o much_o amaze_v at_o mr._n i_n confidence_n in_o affirm_v that_o every_o one_o know_v the_o

one_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o state_n of_o europe_n can_v tell_v he_o of_o two_o other_o famous_a monarchy_n both_o elective_a in_o which_o be_v of_o the_o royal_a family_n be_v not_o a_o prejudice_n to_o their_o claim_n but_o a_o commendation_n to_o the_o crown_n the_o one_o be_v adipisceretur_fw-la the_o kingdom_n of_o denmark_n which_o be_v elective_a till_o within_o these_o thirty_o year_n and_o yet_o all_o along_o from_o waldemar_n to_o frederick_n iv._o they_o choose_v one_o of_o the_o same_o family_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o next_o lineal_a heir_n the_o other_o viz._n the_o crown_n of_o poland_n go_v by_o election_n to_o this_o day_n which_o yet_o in_o the_o present_a century_n be_v successive_o wear_v by_o sigismond_n and_o his_o two_o son_n

insomuch_o that_o those_o very_a person_n who_o stickle_v most_o against_o the_o exclusion_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n desert_v he_o as_o 24._o jovian_a undertake_v they_o will_v in_o his_o
