that_o the_o politic_a can_v not_o be_v within_o the_o statute_n for_o in_o that_o sense_n he_o never_o die_v so_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o fault_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n who_o never_o die_v that_o then_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o natural_a sense_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v either_o by_o sword_n pistol_n or_o other_o violent_a way_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o this_o than_o it_o be_v utter_o at_o a_o end_n though_o the_o witness_n have_v be_v good_a that_o as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o levy_v war_n it_o be_v make_v

in_o his_o case_n so_o that_o if_o the_o war_n be_v not_o levy_v it_o be_v not_o within_o the_o act._n therefore_o in_o his_o case_n it_o be_v imply_v it_o be_v first_o imagine_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o raise_v a_o war_n and_o then_o it_o be_v imagine_v that_o that_o war_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o king_n which_o though_o it_o may_v follow_v be_v neither_o natural_a or_o

that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o pretence_n that_o he_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o kill_v the_o king_n direct_o so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v by_o inference_n because_o it_o be_v treason_n under_o another_o species_n upon_o which_o he_o cite_v the_o lord_n colce_fw-mi who_o say_v it_o be_v the_o overthrow_n of_o justice_n to_o confound_v membra_fw-la devid●ntia_fw-la from_o whence_o
