remind_v you_o of_o what_o have_v already_o be_v open_v unto_o you_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o offender_n themselves_o and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o offence_n they_o stand_v indict_v of_o for_o the_o offender_n they_o be_v most_o of_o they_o priests_z and_o jesuit_n three_o of_o they_o at_o the_o least_o be_v so_o the_o other_o two_o be_v the_o accurse_a instrument_n of_o this_o design_n for_o the_o offence_n itself_o it_o be_v high_a treason_n and_o though_o it_o be_v high_a treason_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o 27_o elizabeth_n for_o man_n of_o that_o profession_n to_o come_v into_o

fancy_v to_o themselves_o they_o suffer_v martyrdom_n for_o their_o religion_n as_o some_o of_o they_o have_v vain_o imagine_v in_o their_o case_n and_o for_o your_o sake_n too_o that_o as_o at_o first_o it_o be_v treason_n repeat_v act_n of_o treason_n in_o these_o man_n and_o those_o proceed_n from_o a_o principle_n of_o religion_n too_o that_o just_o occasion_v the_o make_v that_o law_n so_o here_o you_o may_v observe_v a_o pregnant_a instance_n of_o it_o in_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n that_o when_o ever_o they_o have_v a_o opportunity_n as_o now_o they_o think_v they_o have_v they_o have_v never_o fail_v to_o put_v those_o principle_n into_o practice_n so_o now_o gentleman_n as_o they_o be_v not_o indict_v for_o be_v priest_n i_o must_v desire_v you_o to_o lay_v that_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o case_n and_o only_o consider_v that_o they_o stand_v here_o accuse_v for_o treason_n such_o treason_n as_o be_v they_o layman_n only_o they_o ought_v to_o die_v for_o it_o though_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v they_o be_v the_o soon_o traitor_n for_o be_v priest_n the_o treason_n therefore_o they_o stand_v indict_v of_o be_v of_o the_o high_a nature_n it_o be_v a_o conspiracy_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n and_o that_o too_o with_o circumstance_n so_o aggravate_v if_o any_o thing_n can_v aggravate_v that_o offence_n which_o be_v the_o high_a that_o nothing_o less_o than_o the_o total_a subversion_n of_o the_o government_n and_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n will_v serve_v their_o turn_n and_o real_o when_o you_o consider_v the_o root_n from_o whence_o this_o treason_n spring_v you_o will_v cease_v wonder_v that_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v attempt_v and_o rather_o wonder_v that_o it_o be_v not_o do_v mischief_n have_v often_o

prevent_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o here_o be_v no_o room_n for_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n this_o treason_n proceed_v from_o principle_n of_o religion_n from_o a_o sense_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a nay_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o every_o neglect_n here_o be_v look_v on_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o irreligion_n a_o want_n of_o zeal_n for_o which_o one_o of_o the_o

of_o two_o or_o three_o busy_a man_n over_o zealous_a in_o the_o cause_n but_o by_o the_o deliberate_a and_o steady_a counsel_n of_o the_o whole_a order_n and_o that_o too_o under_o the_o obligation_n of_o secrecy_n as_o high_a as_o christian_a religion_n can_v lay_v on_o they_o you_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o wonder_v that_o it_o do_v not_o succeed_v and_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prevail_v not_o that_o we_o can_v brag_v of_o any_o human_a policy_n that_o do_v prevent_v it_o no_o all_o that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v do_v these_o man_n have_v
