of_o the_o jury_n who_o be_v a_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o government_n but_o withal_o a_o sensible_a man_n not_o malicious_a and_o desirous_a that_o all_o man_n may_v have_v fair_a play_n for_o their_o life_n put_v this_o question_n to_o the_o bench_n whether_o the_o have_v those_o thing_n by_o he_o without_o make_v any_o further_a use_n of_o they_o do_v affect_v the_o prisoner_n as_o to_o life_n now_o this_o question_n be_v very_o pertinent_a for_o all_o that_o be_v prove_v against_o the_o prisoner_n be_v that_o such_o thing_n be_v find_v there_o and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v call_v in_o question_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o room_n where_o the_o thing_n be_v find_v do_v belong_v to_o he_o and_o there_o be_v a_o person_n present_a in_o court_n and_o bring_v thither_o by_o mean_n of_o robin_n stephens_n who_o offer_v to_o make_v oath_n that_o the_o room_n be_v hire_v by_o one_o williams_n and_o that_o the_o say_v williams_n have_v pay_v the_o last_o quarter_n rent_n for_o it_o whereupon_o stephens_n and_o other_o give_v she_o very_o ill_a name_n and_o with_o great_a threaten_n drive_v she_o out_o of_o the_o court_n and_o both_o she_o and_o her_o husband_n have_v be_v somewhat_o scurvy_o use_v since_o the_o question_n though_o very_o proper_a be_v nothing_o please_v but_o after_o some_o frown_a and_o pout_v treby_n arise_v and_o answer_v no._n in_o which_o answer_n he_o plain_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o that_o be_v offer_v in_o proof_n against_o the_o prisoner_n do_v not_o affect_v he_o but_o then_o he_o further_o say_v that_o be_v not_o their_o business_n they_o be_v to_o find_v it_o print_v and_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a overt-act_n but_o than_o be_v print_v treason_n if_o so_o than_o we_o have_v a_o trade_n that_o be_v treason_n at_o which_o man_n work_v every_o day_n and_o be_v allow_v by_o law_n which_o be_v not_o more_o severe_a against_o any_o thing_n than_o treason_n but_o perhaps_o he_o will_v say_v he_o mean_v the_o print_n these_o book_n but_o with_o his_o good_a leave_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n prove_v nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o he_o print_v at_o all_o and_o must_v a_o jury_n find_v a_o matter_n of_o which_o no_o manner_n of_o evidence_n at_o all_o be_v give_v he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v bid_v they_o find_v it_o conjure_v for_o any_o proof_n that_o be_v offer_v of_o it_o but_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v suppose_v yet_o i_o believe_v his_o lordship_n be_v the_o first_o that_o ever_o declare_v print_v as_o such_o to_o be_v a_o overt-act_n of_o treason_n and_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n to_o declare_v when_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a what_o crime_n that_o be_v and_o how_o to_o be_v punish_v when_o a_o judge_n take_v away_o a_o man_n life_n by_o declare_v that_o to_o be_v a_o overt-act_n of_o treason_n which_o the_o law_n do_v not_o so_o account_v but_o i_o can_v omit_v it_o as_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o thing_n of_o sad_a and_o dangerous_a consideration_n that_o when_o some_o of_o the_o juryman_n as_o by_o way_n of_o complaint_n say_v thus_o my_o lord_n our_o foreman_n be_v of_o
