this_o king_n and_o set_v up_o the_o late_a king_n upon_o the_o throne_n that_o have_v be_v high-treason_n within_o the_o statute_n of_o edw._n 3d._n that_o be_v a_o overt-act_n to_o prove_v a_o

but_o then_o there_o be_v several_a way_n think_v of_o first_o the_o design_n be_v by_o arm_n without_o any_o relation_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n but_o only_o by_o arms._n then_o they_o come_v to_o

of_o treason_n but_o then_o sir_n william_n parkins_n do_v object_n that_o mr._n sweet_a and_o the_o other_o witness_n beside_o capt._n porter_n do_v not_o prove_v any_o overt-act_n against_o he_o

l._n c._n j._n holt._n that_o you_o buy_v arms._n sir_n w._n parkins_n but_o that_o do_v not_o appear_v nor_o wherefore_o they_o be_v buy_v l._n c._n j._n holt._n what_o occasion_n have_v you_o for_o such_o a_o quantity_n of_o arm_n sir_n w._n parkins_n after_o all_o i_o do_v not_o buy_v those_o arm_n and_o i_o can_v prove_v to_o your_o lordship_n if_o i_o have_v time_n that_o those_o arm_n be_v in_o box_n and_o all_o rusty_a when_o i_o come_v first_o to_o my_o house_n in_o warwickshire_n l._n c._n j._n holt._n but_o why_o be_v they_o bury_v in_o your_o garden_n they_o be_v at_o mr._n heywood_n house_n before_o and_o remove_v by_o your_o direction_n and_o then_o carry_v to_o your_o own_o house_n and_o bury_v in_o the_o garden_n just_o when_o the_o plot_n break_v out_o sir_n w._n parkins_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v easy_o imagine_v that_o no_o body_n at_o such_o a_o time_n will_v care_v to_o have_v it_o know_v that_o he_o have_v arm_n though_o never_o so_o innocent_a find_v upon_o

not_o be_v take_v away_o and_o i_o can_v believe_v it_o will_v please_v the_o king_n that_o i_o be_v find_v guilty_a upon_o slight_a ground_n l._n c._n j._n holt._n no_o question_n it_o will_v better_o please_v the_o king_n and_o every_o body_n else_o rather_o that_o you_o be_v find_v innocent_a than_o guilty_a if_o you_o be_v not_o guilty_a sir_n w._n parkins_n therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o find_v i_o guilty_a upon_o inference_n according_a to_o that_o old_a say_n better_a five_o guilty_a man_n escape_v than_o one_o innocent_a man_n suffer_v l._n c._n j._n holt._n you_o be_v

must_v be_v indifferent_a in_o this_o case_n and_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v be_v so_o the_o question_v you_o propose_v be_v whether_o there_o be_v two_o witness_n in_o this_o case_n for_o the_o matter_n you_o be_v indict_v for_o the_o matter_n be_v compass_v and_o imagine_v the_o king_n death_n there_o be_v one_o witness_n that_o do_v positive_o prove_v that_o you_o do_v agree_v
