Title: A Treatise proving [tha]t if our soueraigne ladie Queene Elisab[e]th whome god blesse with longe life [and] many children should dye without issue that the Queene of Scotts is not disabled by [th]e lawe of England to receaue [th]e Crowne of England by discent : contemporary manuscript, ca. 1580.

Treatise, in two parts, advocating for the succession of Mary Queen of Scots to the English throne. Part I elucidates the theory of the King's two bodies, "the Bodie Politique" and "the Bodie Naturall;" opposes the idea that "He borne beyond the Sea cannott be ... discended of English blood;" and argues that "the Lawe or maxime of forraigne Birth" cannot be extended to the Crown "because it is a Bodie Politique." Part II (from fol. 76) argues that Mary "is not out of the Legiance of [th]e Crowne of England", and reproduces the opinion of King Henry VII, "touching the Comodities [and] incomodities that this Realme should haue, if it discended to the Queene of Scottes". A prologue explaining the causes for the writing of this book decries the "Ignorance" and "p[re]sumpc[i]on" of the authors of two earlier tracts, "Allegations against the Surmised Title of the Queen of Scots and the Favorers of the Same" (anon., printed 1565) and "Declaration of the Succession of the Crowne Imperiall of Inglande" (John Hales, printed 1563).
