five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o for_o although_o as_o touch_v the_o king_n his_o queen_n and_o child_n intention_n be_v treasonable_a yet_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n there_o mention_v there_o

not_o the_o king_n impression_n upon_o the_o coin_n all_o his_o intention_n yea_o his_o preparation_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o make_v up_o a_o treason_n and_o this_o under_o favour_n may_v serve_v to_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o guido_n faux_n late_o object_v unless_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n have_v as_o real_a a_o intention_n against_o the_o king_n life_n as_o faux_n

one_o and_o twentieth_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o to_o kill_v a_o man_n employ_v in_o the_o king_n war_n be_v treason_n and_o the_o twenty_o three_o to_o kill_v the_o king_n messenger_n be_v treason_n by_o declaration_n of_o the_o common-lawe_n but_o always_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o statute_n yet_o none_o of_o these_o be_v now_o treason_n but_o felony_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o

speak_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o salvo_n which_o be_v this_o that_o because_o all_o particular_n can_v not_o be_v then_o define_v therefore_o what_o the_o parliament_n shall_v declare_v to_o be_v treasonable_a in_o time_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v punish_v as_o a_o treason_n and_o according_a to_o this_o reservative_n in_o the_o eight_o year_n of_o king_n richard_n the_o second_o one_o be_v charge_v before_o the_o king_n bench_n be_v afterward_o refer_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o there_o though_o the_o fact_n be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o statute_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o proviso_n afore_o mention_v it_o be_v adjudge_v treason_n in_o the_o eleven_o year_n of_o the_o same_o king_n the_o duke_n of_o ireland_n and_o nevil_n archbishop_n of_o york_n be_v impeach_v of_o high-treason_n by_o gloucester_n arundel_n and_o warwick_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o statute_n be_v convict_v thereof_o by_o the_o salvo_n but_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twentieth_o of_o the_o same_o richard_n the_o second_o the_o tide_n turn_v and_o the_o king_n have_v such_o a_o hand_n with_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o sentence_n be_v recall_v and_o those_o

proviso_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o same_o parliament_n the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o a_o petition_n be_v prefer_v by_o the_o nobility_n to_o have_v treason_n limit_v within_o some_o statute_n because_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o speak_v or_o what_o to_o do_v for_o fear_v thereof_o and_o in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n a_o act_n be_v make_v upon_o this_o petition_n that_o that_o salvo_n shall_v be_v hold_v repeal_v in_o all_o time_n to_o come_v and_o nothing_o esteem_v treason_n but_o what_o be_v literal_o contain_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o

without_o the_o least_o mention_n of_o a_o pretend_a salvo_n the_o earl_n of_o northumberland_n case_n come_v nigh_o to_o the_o point_n he_o be_v charge_v with_o treason_n the_o five_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o and_o if_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o the_o first_o chapter_n whereby_o this_o proviso_n be_v repeal_v have_v not_o interveend_n no_o doubt_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v of_o treason_n but_o he_o be_v only_o convict_v of_o felony_n and_o that_o because_o he_o can_v not_o be_v draw_v within_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edw._n the_o three_o and_o i_o dare_v confident_o say_v it_o that_o since_o that_o act_n be_v make_v the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o the_o first_o chapter_n whereby_o the_o proviso_n be_v

take_v these_o two_o thing_n i_o do_v offer_n to_o your_o lordship_n consideration_n that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n can_v be_v impeach_v of_o treason_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o

for_o that_o statute_n which_o be_v allege_v by_o the_o lord_n strafford_n in_o his_o defence_n for_o matter_n of_o fact_n then_o the_o recorder_n speak_v some_o few_o word_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o recorder_n the_o recorder_n what_o be_v speak_v upon_o the_o statute_n be_v because_o it_o seem_v inseparable_a from_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o they_o can_v proceed_v no_o further_o
