| | Lex, Rex, Question XII -NRA |
 | | Though the consent be some way over-awed, yet is it a sort of contract and covenant of loyal subjection made to the conqueror, and therefore sufficient to make the title just; otherwise, if the people never give their consent, the conqueror, domineering over them by violence, hath no just title to the crown. |
 | | If conquest, as just, be the title and lawful claim before God's court to a crown, then, certainly, a stronger king, for pregnant national injuries, may lawfully subdue and reign over an innocent posterity not yet born. |
 | | Ans.There is a virtual alienation of rights and lives of children not born unlawful, because the children are not born. |
