Should a reaction succeed, nothing would be easier than to remit the Thirds, and thus revive at once the status quo ante. 1 i. E. Within the limits of parliamentary law. 2 Knox, ii. 289 ; Edinburgh T. C. Records, 125. 3 S. P. S. I. 582 ; Knox, ii. 298-313. THE ENGLISH SUCCESSION 161 It was an arrangem...ent entirely congruous with the Proclamation of 25th August. The religious question in all its branches was to be kept open for future reconsideration. Maitland must have perceived, just as clearly as Knox, the drift of the Queen's inclinations.

His hopes rested on the English succession, and the fruits to be gathered from it.
