resolve_v that_o eat_n or_o drink_v or_o the_o most_o ordinary_a act_n of_o a_o man_n life_n be_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o high_a treason_n the_o law_n have_v take_v that_o care_n for_o the_o evidence_n of_o high_a treason_n which_o it_o have_v not_o do_v in_o any_o other_o case_n that_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v by_o a_o overt_a act_n prove_v by_o two_o witness_n one_o will_v think_v at_o first_o

and_o alter_v it_o from_o what_o they_o at_o first_o design_v it_o the_o king_n council_n may_v have_v have_v a_o new_a bill_n find_v but_o peradventure_o they_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o that_o grand_a jury_n to_o have_v find_v a_o new_a bill_n they_o remember_v they_o have_v ill_a luck_n with_o the_o first_o bill_n at_o london_n that_o i_o believe_v be_v the_o true_a reason_n but_o because_o i_o will_v do_v the_o court_n no_o injury_n in_o impute_v that_o to_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o adjournment_n which_o be_v not_o it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o print_a trial_n it_o be_v pretend_v they_o adjourn_v in_o order_n to_o dine_v yet_o those_o that_o know_v that_o the_o adjournment_n be_v by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o king_n council_n and_o overhear_v their_o whisper_n with_o the_o chief_a justice_n which_o be_v both_o a_o undecent_a and_o a_o unjust_a thing_n and_o be_v neither_o better_a nor_o worse_o than_o a_o plaintiff_n or_o defendant_n whisper_v a_o judge_n while_o his_o case_n be_v before_o he_o try_v and_o i_o know_v that_o he_o judge_n have_v breakfa_v but_o a_o little_a before_o and_o have_v no_o great_a stomach_n to_o their_o dinner_n and_o therefore_o believe_v that_o that_o before_o assign_v and_o not_o what_o pretend_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n they_o may_v better_o have_v put_v off_o their_o dinner_n to_o their_o supper_n than_o their_o supper_n to_o their_o breakfast_n as_o they_o do_v the_o trial_n last_v till_o early_a next_o morning_n but_o because_o all_o irregularity_n of_o court_n and_o council_n in_o all_o these_o

be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o no_o person_n must_v come_v near_o the_o prisoner_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n as_o in_o fitz-harris_n his_o case_n be_v often_o say_v a_o witness_n be_v

that_o it_o be_v design_v to_o incense_v the_o jury_n and_o though_o the_o chief_a justice_n declare_v it_o be_v not_o evidence_n yet_o he_o a_o great_a while_n afterward_o go_v on_o in_o a_o like_a manner_n nay_o the_o council_n in_o sum_v up_o the_o evidence_n repeat_v the_o same_o matter_n which_o be_v permit_v because_o it_o be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o yet_o when_o the_o earl_n of_o
