attempt_v to_o put_v himself_o into_o such_o strength_n as_o the_o king_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o force_v and_o compel_v the_o king_n to_o govern_v otherwise_o then_o according_a to_o his_o own_o royal_a authority_n and_o direction_n it_o be_v manifest_a rebellion_n the_o other_o that_o in_o every_o rebellion_n the_o law_n intend_v as_o a_o consequent_a the_o compass_v the_o death_n and_o deprivation_n of_o the_o king_n as_o foresee_v that_o the_o rebel_n will_v never_o suffer_v that_o king_n to_o live_v or_o reign_v which_o may_v punish_v or_o take_v revenge_n of_o his_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n and_o it_o be_v enforce_v by_o the_o queen_n council_n that_o this_o be_v not_o only_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n which_o so_o

assertion_n of_o experience_n which_o be_v the_o warranty_n of_o all_o reason_n for_o first_o the_o civil_a law_n make_v this_o judgement_n that_o treason_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o crimen_fw-la

invade_v of_o the_o crown_n and_o extort_v the_o imperial_a sceptre_n and_o for_o common_a reason_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o a_o subject_n shall_v once_o come_v to_o that_o height_n as_o to_o give_v law_n to_o his_o sovereign_n but_o what_o with_o insolency_n of_o the_o change_n and_o what_o with_o terror_n of_o his_o own_o guiltiness_n he_o will_v never_o permit_v the_o king_n if_o he_o
