that_o the_o crime_n be_v only_a misprision_n of_o treason_n and_o not_o the_o very_a crime_n of_o treason_n the_o jury_n must_v then_o find_v the_o prisoner_n not_o guilty_a of_o treason_n and_o can_v upon_o a_o indictment_n of_o treason_n find_v the_o party_n guilty_a of_o misprision_n because_o he_o be_v not_o indict_v for_o the_o offence_n of_o misprision_n and_o treason_n and_o misprision_n of_o treason_n be_v offence_n that_o the_o law_n have_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o the_o one_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o proof_n reach_v no_o far_o than_o to_o prove_v a_o misprision_n and_o amount_v not_o to_o treason_n the_o prisoner_n may_v urge_v it_o for_o himself_o and_o say_v that_o the_o proof_n do_v not_o reach_v to_o the_o crime_n charge_v in_o the_o indictment_n and_o if_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o the_o court_n ought_v so_o to_o direct_v the_o jury_n not_o to_o find_v it_o ☞_o now_o be_v present_a in_o company_n with_o other_o where_o those_o other_o do_v consult_v and_o conspire_v to_o do_v some_o treasonable_a act_n do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n guilty_a of_o treason_n unless_o by_o some_o word_n and_o action_n he_o signify_v his_o consent_n to_o it_o and_o approbation_n of_o it_o but_o his_o be_v privy_a to_o it_o and_o not_o discover_v it_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o misprision_n of_o treason_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o conceal_n it_o but_o it_o make_v he_o not_o guilty_a of_o treason_n and_o if_o the_o same_o person_n be_v present_v a_o second_o time_n or_o often_o this_o neither_o do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o treason_n only_o it_o raise_v a_o strong_a suspicion_n that_o he_o like_v it_o and_o consent_n to_o it_o and_o approve_v of_o it_o or_o else_o he_o will_v have_v forbear_v after_o his_o have_v be_v once_o among_o they_o but_o the_o strong_a suspicion_n do_v not_o sufficient_o prove_v a_o gild_n in_o treason_n nor_o can_v it_o go_v for_o any_o evidence_n and_o that_o upon_o two_o account_n ☞_o first_o the_o proof_n in_o case_n of_o treason_n must_v be_v plain_a &_o clear_a and_o positive_a and_o not_o by_o inference_n or_o argument_n or_o the_o strong_a suspicion_n imaginable_a thus_o say_v sir_n edward_n coke_n in_o many_o place_n in_o his_o three_o institutes_n in_o the_o chapter_n of_o high_a treason_n ☞_o second_o in_o a_o indictment_n of_o high_a treason_n there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v a_o general_a charge_n of_o treason_n nor_o be_v it_o enough_o to_o set_v forth_o of_o what_o sort_n or_o species_n the_o treason_n be_v as_o kill_v the_o king_n or_o levy_v war_n against_o he_o or_o coin_v money_n or_o the_o like_a but_o the_o law_n require_v that_o in_o the_o indictment_n there_o must_v be_v also_o set_v forth_o some_o overt_a or_o open_a act_n as_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 25_o of_o edw._n the_o 3_o d._n call_v it_o or_o some_o instance_n give_v by_o the_o party_n or_o offender_n whereby_o it_o may_v appear_v he_o do_v consent_n to_o it_o and_o consult_v it_o and_o approve_v of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o bare_a be_v present_a shall_v be_v take_v and_o construe_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a overt_a or_o open_a act_n or_o instance_n than_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o treason_n and_o misprision_n of_o treason_n for_o the_o be_v present_a without_o consent_v make_v no_o more_o than_o misprision_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v something_o more_o than_o be_v bare_o present_a to_o make_v a_o man_n guilty_a of_o treason_n especial_o since_o the_o law_n require_v a_o overt_a or_o
