the_o first_o article_n viz._n compass_v and_o imagine_v of_o the_o king_n death_n for_o overt-act_n seem_v to_o be_v oppose_v to_o something_o of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n act_n be_v oppose_v proper_o to_o thought_n overt_a be_v proper_o oppose_v to_o secret_a and_o that_o sort_n of_o treason_n consist_v in_o secret_a thought_n and_o internal_a purpose_n can_v be_v know_v try_v and_o judge_v of_o without_o be_v disclose_v and_o manifest_v by_o some_o external_a open_a act_n wherefore_o it_o be_v pertinent_a and_o reasonable_a in_o order_n to_o attaint_v a_o man_n of_o such_o treason_n that_o the_o indictment_n shall_v charge_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o act_n as_o well_o as_o the_o thought_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v use_v to_o be_v do_v but_o such_o order_n or_o

war_n etc._n etc._n nevertheless_o i_o think_v a_o overt-act_n ought_v to_o be_v allege_v in_o a_o indictment_n of_o treason_n for_o adhere_v to_o the_o king_n enemy_n give_v they_o aid_n and_o

cook_n declare_v his_o opinion_n to_o this_o purpose_n his_o word_n which_o i_o read_v out_o of_o his_o book_n here_o be_v these_o the_o composition_n and_o connection_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o

it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a violence_n to_o construe_v they_o to_o refer_v to_o the_o first_o article_n only_o and_o not_o to_o this_o last_o to_o which_o they_o be_v thus_o connect_v if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v restrain_v to_o a_o single_a article_n it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o construe_v to_o refer_v they_o to_o this_o of_o adhere_v only_o l._n c._n j._n

and_o we_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o good_a indictment_n without_o express_v it_o than_o we_o be_v confine_v to_o it_o mr._n phipps_n i_o believe_v mr._n
