queen-consort

When there is no Queen-conſort, the King nominates the maſter, brothers, &c. pro hac vice. But the Queen-dowager hath no power or juriſdiction when there is a Queen-conſort; all the attemps that have been made in ancient and modern times for this purpoſe have proved ineffectual, and the ſentences of the courts of law have unanimouſy confirmed the great and unlimited power of the Queens-conſorts of England over this ſmall eccleſiaſtical juriſdiction.
