maintain_v that_o opinion_n be_v these_o two_o first_o it_o will_v be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n if_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n may_v not_o be_v interpret_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n because_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n leave_v to_o prevent_v it_o and_o the_o mischief_n attend_v it_o when_o the_o war_n be_v levy_v second_o if_o a_o war_n be_v levy_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n must_v needs_o be_v intend_v and_o will_v certain_o ensue_v if_o the_o rebel_n prevail_v in_o answer_n to_o these_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a objection_n and_o the_o other_o no_o substantial_a argument_n because_o it_o beg_v the_o question_n which_o be_v sure_o a_o feeble_a way_n of_o argue_v but_o i_o will_v give_v a_o more_o particular_a answer_n to_o they_o and_o it_o will_v be_v more_o proper_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o second_o because_o in_o speak_v to_o it_o the_o other_o will_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n receive_v a_o answer_n now_o as_o to_o the_o second_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n be_v make_v so_o certain_a and_o necessary_a a_o consequence_n of_o levy_v of_o war_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o certainty_n a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n be_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n if_o therefore_o the_o certainty_n will_v not_o hold_v but_o that_o many_o case_n may_v be_v put_v and_o instance_n produce_v wherein_o the_o king_n death_n be_v not_o intend_v nor_o do_v ensue_v upon_o the_o prevail_a of_o the_o party_n then_o be_v the_o whole_a weight_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o no_o effect_n the_o hugonot_n in_o france_n have_v heretofore_o assemble_v in_o arm_n and_o though_o they_o repeat_v it_o several_a time_n yet_o on_o which_o of_o those_o occasion_n do_v it_o appear_v either_o by_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o come_n together_o in_o that_o manner_n or_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v level_v at_o the_o king_n life_n no_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o rise_n in_o arm_n be_v for_o the_o assert_v of_o their_o religion_n and_o just_a right_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o their_o reasonable_a demand_n be_v satisfy_v they_o lay_v down_o their_o arm_n more_o willing_o than_o they_o take_v they_o up_o neither_o do_v they_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o king_n life_n when_o he_o be_v in_o their_o power_n but_o after_o they_o be_v answer_v in_o those_o thing_n to_o which_o they_o have_v right_o both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o government_n immediate_o they_o return_v home_o in_o peace_n and_o upon_o all_o other_o occasion_n prove_v the_o most_o firm_a and_o loyall_a subject_n of_o all_o other_o in_o that_o king_n dominion_n and_o so_o this_o present_a king_n of_o france_n must_v testify_v for_o they_o if_o he_o will_v do_v they_o right_o if_o the_o protestant_n in_o france_n shall_v at_o this_o time_n rise_v in_o arm_n upon_o so_o just_a a_o provocation_n as_o now_o they_o have_v it_o will_v be_v senseless_a to_o suppose_v that_o they_o levy_v the_o war_n with_o a_o principal_a design_n to_o murder_n the_o king_n and_o not_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o themselves_o and_o just_a right_n which_o be_v so_o inhumane_o and_o against_o all_o law_n and_o justice_n at_o this_o time_n invade_v and_o ravish_v from_o they_o story_n be_v full_a of_o like_a case_n and_o instance_n to_o this_o but_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o to_o england_n what_o be_v the_o baron_n war_n the_o answer_n to_o which_o must_v be_v that_o they_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o assert_v their_o right_n and_o liberty_n which_o the_o king_n contrary_a to_o his_o oath_n withhold_v from_o they_o and_o though_o it_o last_v near_o forty_o year_n yet_o the_o king_n death_n be_v never_o intend_v nor_o his_o life_n in_o any_o danger_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o their_o just_a demand_n be_v answer_v they_o put_v up_o their_o sword_n and_o every_o man_n return_v home_o and_o pray_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king._n and_o out_o of_o english_a story_n what_o one_o instance_n can_v be_v produce_v where_o the_o cause_n of_o war_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v against_o the_o king_n life_n or_o if_o the_o party_n prevail_v the_o king_n be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o their_o general_a consent_n and_o approbation_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v some_o instance_n where_o they_o have_v be_v murder_v after_o the_o war_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o as_o true_a that_o it_o be_v by_o private_a assassination_n and_o not_o by_o the_o consent_n and_o privity_n of_o those_o who_o levy_v the_o war._n for_o all_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o murder_n be_v afterward_o condemn_v and_o execute_v for_o it_o as_o traitor_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o edw._n 2._o and_o ric._n 2._o as_o for_o that_o of_o charles_n the_o first_o which_o be_v so_o much_o press_v and_o urge_v though_o the_o cause_n of_o war_n have_v be_v express_o against_o his_o life_n yet_o as_o one_o swallow_n do_v not_o make_v a_o summer_n so_o neither_o do_v one_o precedent_n prove_v the_o point_n but_o beside_o in_o that_o case_n of_o charles_n the_o first_o to_o infer_v from_o thence_o that_o the_o king_n death_n be_v principal_o intend_v by_o levy_v of_o war_n be_v altogether_o as_o weak_a a_o argument_n as_o to_o say_v because_o a_o thing_n fall_v out_o by_o accident_n therefore_o that_o very_a thing_n be_v the_o principal_a design_n and_o aim_v of_o the_o whole_a action_n for_o in_o that_o war_n those_o who_o first_o take_v up_o arm_n do_v it_o to_o oppose_v the_o king_n be_v arbitrary_a practice_n and_o though_o he_o be_v afterward_o put_v to_o death_n yet_o it_o be_v altogether_o against_o their_o consent_n or_o desire_v and_o most_o of_o the_o army_n be_v against_o it_o and_o will_v have_v prevent_v it_o but_o that_o they_o be_v at_o that_o time_n so_o break_v into_o faction_n and_o party_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o trust_v one_o another_o for_o after_o that_o tragedy_n be_v act_v those_o who_o first_o take_v up_o arm_n immediate_o upon_o it_o lay_v they_o down_o and_o be_v afterward_o the_o chief_a instrument_n of_o the_o late_a king_n restoration_n but_o if_o the_o king_n death_n be_v the_o principal_a thing_n intend_v by_o levy_v of_o war_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o war_n levy_v can_v the_o king_n be_v take_v off_o more_o easy_o by_o poison_n or_o a_o private_a assassination_n to_o the_o effect_n of_o which_o opportunity_n can_v be_v want_v and_o so_o with_o more_o certainty_n the_o end_n be_v obtain_v and_o a_o less_o hazard_n run_v in_o the_o execution_n than_o can_v be_v do_v by_o a_o war_n except_o those_o who_o levy_n the_o war_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n be_v not_o content_a with_o the_o murder_n of_o he_o unless_o they_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o all_o those_o that_o will_v defend_v he_o indeed_o to_o do_v it_o by_o a_o open_a war_n rather_o than_o by_o poison_n or_o a_o private_a assassination_n be_v the_o more_o generous_a way_n for_o they_o give_v he_o fair_a warning_n to_o look_v to_o himself_o like_o a_o noble_a enemy_n that_o scorn_v to_o kill_v his_o adversary_n base_o it_o be_v indeed_o to_o go_v round_o about_o for_o the_o near_a way_n therefore_o a_o war_n when_o levy_v must_v be_v for_o some_o other_o intent_n than_o to_o take_v away_o the_o king_n life_n since_o englishman_n if_o they_o enjoy_v their_o property_n no_o prince_n be_v so_o great_a and_o happy_a in_o the_o head_n heart_n hand_n and_o purse_n of_o his_o subject_n as_o a_o english_a king._n but_o yet_o allow_v that_o upon_o every_o war_n levy_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n will_v certain_o ensue_v if_o the_o rebel_n prevail_v yet_o this_o question_n do_v natural_o arise_v viz._n where_o be_v that_o statute_n which_o do_v in_o express_a term_n say_v that_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n be_v treason_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o express_o and_o literal_o within_o some_o statute_n than_o it_o be_v a_o constructive_a treason_n and_o consequent_o no_v such_o treason_n as_o upon_o which_o the_o judge_n may_v proceed_v if_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 25_o ed._n 3d._n be_v make_v to_o any_o purpose_n for_o that_o statute_n restrain_v all_o constructive_a treason_n or_o none_o but_o if_o the_o judge_n may_v in_o any_o one_o case_n make_v a_o constructive_a treason_n they_o may_v do_v it_o in_o all_o and_o so_o we_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o same_o uncertainty_n about_o treason_n as_o we_o be_v before_o that_o stat._n 25_o ed._n 3d._n be_v make_v if_o the_o judge_n may_v judge_v upon_o constructive_a treason_n yet_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o far-fetch_a construction_n to_o make_v a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n a_o overt_a act_n of_o compass_v
