to_o direct_v myself_o according_a to_o my_o own_o persuasion_n which_o be_v that_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v say_v or_o write_v on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o the_o late_a statute_n which_o inflict_v capital_a punishment_n upon_o extoller_n of_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n denier_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n jesuit_n and_o seminary_n and_o other_o offender_n of_o that_o nature_n have_v for_o their_o principal_a scope_n not_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o error_n of_o conscience_n but_o the_o repress_v of_o the_o peril_n of_o the_o estate_n this_o be_v the_o true_a spirit_n of_o the_o

these_o offence_n therefore_o respect_v either_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n person_n or_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o kingdom_n which_o though_o they_o can_v be_v dissever_v in_o

prove_v by_o any_o fact_n that_o be_v overt_a for_o in_o the_o case_n of_o so_o sudden_a dark_a and_o pernicious_a and_o peremptory_a attempt_n it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o the_o law_n to_o take_v a_o blow_v before_o it_o give_v and_o this_o high_a treason_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o heinous_a of_o which_o you_o shall_v inquire_v though_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n there_o be_v another_o capital_a offence_n that_o have_v a_o affinity_n with_o this_o councillor_n whereof_o you_o here_o within_o the_o verge_n be_v most_o proper_o to_o inquire_v the_o king_n privy_a council_n be_v as_o the_o principal_a watch_n over_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n so_o as_o their_o safety_n be_v a_o portion_n of_o he_o if_o therefore_o any_o of_o the_o king_n servant_n within_o his_o

and_o since_o we_o be_v now_o in_o that_o branch_n of_o the_o king_n person_n person_n i_o will_v speak_v also_o of_o the_o king_n person_n by_o representation_n and_o the_o treason_n which_o touch_v

we_o will_v pass_v now_o to_o those_o treason_n which_o concern_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n state_n which_o be_v of_o three_o kind_n answer_v to_o three_o peril_n which_o may_v happen_v to_o a_o estate_n these_o peril_n be_v foreign_a invasion_n open_a rebellion_n and_o sedition_n and_o privy_a practice_n to_o alienate_v and_o estrange_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o to_o prepare_v they_o either_o to_o adhear_v to_o enemy_n or_o to_o burst_v out_o into_o tumult_n and_o commotion_n of_o themselves_o rebellion_n therefore_o if_o any_o person_n have_v solicit_v or_o
