Mgr. l'Electeur est pleinement persuadé qu'en establissant dans Sa maison la succession à la couronne, on n'a jamais pensé à rendre la couronne elective puisqu'on a nommé Madame Sa Mere uniquement par la raison qu'Elle est la plus proche dans la ligne protestante, ce qui est un aveu formel du droict hereditaire qu'on reconnoist dans cette ligne. Mais comme cette ligne a esté apellée à la succession par des actes du Parlement qui ont declaré les Princes Papistes incapables de regner, S. A. E. laisse à considerer s'il ne seroit pas à propos que ceux qui se declarent pour le droict hereditaire, evitassent de le faire d'une maniere absolue, et adjoutassent toujours "dans la ligne Protestante, Et à l'exclusion des Princes Papistes", en conformité des actes du Parlement.

His Highness the Elector is fully persuaded that in establishing the succession to the crown in His house, no thought was ever given to making the crown elective, since Madam His Mother was appointed solely for the reason that She is the nearest in the Protestant line, which is a formal admission of the hereditary right recognised in this line. But as this line has been called to the succession by acts of Parliament which have declared the Papist Princes incapable of reigning, His Highness leaves it to be considered whether it would not be proper for those who declare themselves for the hereditary right to avoid doing so in an absolute manner, and always add "in the Protestant line, and to the exclusion of the Papist Princes", in conformity with the acts of Parliament.
