have_v be_v determine_v it_o be_v resolve_v by_o all_o the_o judge_n in_o the_o case_n of_o my_o lord_n cobham_n 1_o jac._n a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n person_n as_o this_o be_v a_o conspiracy_n to_o seize_v the_o guard_n what_o do_v that_o tend_v to_o but_o to_o seize_v the_o king_n and_o that_o always_o have_v be_v take_v to_o be_v high_a treason_n but_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n call_v levy_v of_o war_n in_o law_n that_o be_v not_o so_o direct_o against_o the_o king_n as_o if_o a_o number_n of_o man_n go_v about_o to_o levy_v man_n to_o overthrow_v all_o enclosure_n this_o by_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o intent_n and_o because_o of_o the_o consequence_n be_v account_v levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n a_o conspiracy_n therefore_o to_o levy_v such_o a_o war_n which_o by_o construction_n only_o be_v against_o the_o king_n perhaps_o that_o may_v not_o be_v such_o a_o overt_a act_n as_o to_o testify_v the_o imagination_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n but_o other_o conspiracy_n to_o raise_v war_n against_o the_o king_n have_v always_o be_v so_o take_v it_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o the_o judge_n in_o my_o l._n dyer_n report_n the_o case_n of_o dr._n story_n a_o conspiracy_n to_o invite_v a_o foreign_a prince_n to_o make_v a_o invasion_n though_o no_o invasion_n follow_v be_v a_o overt_a act_n to_o prove_v conspire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o as_o it_o have_v be_v so_o take_v so_o it_o have_v be_v practise_v but_o of_o late_a day_n in_o the_o king_n bench_n i_o take_v it_o the_o indictment_n against_o plunket_n that_o be_v hang_v he_o be_v indict_v for_o conspire_v against_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o charge_n go_v no_o far_o than_o for_o raise_v of_o arm_n and_o invite_v the_o french_a king_n in_o and_o he_o suffer_v this_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o my_o l._n cook_n for_o he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o paragraph_n before_o that_o out_o of_o which_o this_o advice_n to_o my_o l._n russel_n be_v extract_v that_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o invite_v a_o foreign_a prince_n to_o invade_v the_o kingdom_n be_v a_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o next_o paragraph_n he_o say_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o one_o treason_n can_v be_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o another_o treason_n but_o constant_a practice_n be_v against_o he_o in_o that_o for_o what_o be_v more_o common_a than_o to_o indict_v a_o man_n for_o imagine_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o to_o assign_v the_o overt_a act_n in_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o raise_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n and_o sometime_o they_o go_v on_o and_o say_v do_v levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n now_o by_o my_o l._n cook_n rule_n levy_v war_n unless_o the_o indictment_n be_v particular_a for_o that_o be_v not_o a_o overt_a act_n for_o the_o compass_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n but_o the_o contrary_n have_v be_v resolve_v by_o all_o the_o judge_n in_o the_o case_n of_o sir_n hen._n vane_n and_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a practice_n to_o lay_v it_o so_o in_o indictment_n it_o will_v be_v a_o strange_a construction_n if_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v high_a treason_n it_o be_v agree_v by_o every_o body_n to_o take_v the_o king_n prisoner_n to_o seize_v the_o king_n that_o be_v a_o compass_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o to_o sit_v in_o council_n to_o conspire_v to_o effect_v that_o that_o be_v a_o overt_a act_n of_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n now_o no_o man_n can_v distinguish_v this_o case_n from_o that_o and_o this_o consultation_n amount_v to_o all_o this_o for_o plain_o hither_o it_o tend_v the_o consultation_n be_v to_o seize_v upon_o the_o king_n guard_n that_o can_v have_v no_o other_o stop_v but_o to_o seize_v upon_o the_o king_n person_n and_o bring_v he_o into_o their_o power_n as_o to_o the_o kill_v of_o the_o king_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o be_v below_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n but_o this_o be_v equal_a treason_n if_o they_o design_v only_o to_o bring_v the_o king_n into_o their_o power_n till_o he_o have_v consent_v to_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v be_v move_v in_o parliament_n it_o be_v equal_o treason_n as_o if_o they_o have_v agree_v direct_o to_o assassinate_n he_o therefore_o i_o think_v there_o be_v nothing_o for_o you_o to_o consider_v but_o to_o see_v that_o the_o

that_o my_o l._n howard_n that_o lie_v hide_v shall_v discover_v to_o my_o l._n of_o bedford_n that_o there_o be_v a_o conspiracy_n to_o raise_v arm_n and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o it_o this_o will_v

use_v solemn_a protestation_n that_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o conspiracy_n i_o do_v observe_v that_o worthy_a gentleman_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o discourse_n for_o it_o be_v pretty_a long_a say_v first_o that_o he_o have_v be_v several_a time_n tempt_v my_o lord_n howard_n to_o come_v over_o and_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o king_n and_o if_o he_o know_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v come_v and_o confess_v it_o why_o gen-man_n mr._n howard_n that_o have_v come_v to_o he_o upon_o these_o errand_n former_o and_o have_v think_v he_o have_v gain_v he_o i_o conceive_v you_o do_v not_o wonder_v if_o my_o lord_n howard_n do_v not_o reveal_v himself_o to_o he_o who_o present_o will_v have_v discover_v it_o for_o for_o that_o errand_n he_o come_v but_o if_o my_o lord_n have_v have_v a_o design_n to_o have_v come_v in_o and_o save_v his_o life_n he_o will_v have_v make_v his_o submission_n voluntary_o and_o make_v his_o discovery_n but_o my_o lord_n tell_v nothing_o till_o he_o be_v pinch_v in_o his_o conscience_n and_o confound_v with_o the_o gild_n be_v then_o in_o custody_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v the_o whole_a truth_n that_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v this_o day_n gentleman_n this_o have_v be_v all_o that_o have_v be_v object_v against_o the_o witness_n except_o what_o be_v say_v by_o dr._n burnet_n and_o he_o say_v that_o my_o l._n howard_n declare_v to_o he_o that_o he_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o plot_n and_o laugh_v at_o it_o why_o gentleman_n the_o doctor_n will_v take_v it_o ill_o to_o be_v think_v a_o person_n fit_a to_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o discovery_n of_o this_o therefore_o what_o he_o say_v to_o he_o signify_v nothing_o for_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o he_o do_v not_o discover_v it_o to_o the_o doctor_n but_o the_o last_o objection_n which_o i_o see_v there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a many_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o quality_n call_v to_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a my_o lord_n

cause_n but_o if_o so_o be_v in_o civil_a cause_n there_o be_v require_v freeholder_n and_o a_o attaint_n lie_v if_o there_o be_v not_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a to_o think_v but_o there_o shall_v

first_o mention_v 2_o h._n 5._o c._n 3._o to_o be_v express_v in_o this_o point_n my_o lord_n the_o statute_n in_o the_o preamble_n do_v recite_v all_o the_o mischief_n it_o say_v great_a mischief_n

of_o freehold_n between_o party_n and_o party_n the_o statute_n recite_v this_o mischief_n do_v in_o express_a word_n provide_v two_o remedy_n for_o the_o same_o in_o these_o case_n first_o on_o the_o

the_o trial_n of_o the_o death_n of_o a_o man_n it_o be_v interpret_v by_o stamford_n 162._o a._n that_o be_v in_o all_o case_n where_o a_o man_n be_v arraign_v for_o his_o life_n that_o be_v within_o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o statute_n beside_o this_o exposition_n that_o have_v be_v put_v upon_o the_o statute_n my_o lord_n it_o do_v seem_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o several_a parliament_n have_v be_v according_o in_o several_a time_n and_o age_n my_o lord_n to_o instance_n in_o one_o statute_n that_o have_v not_o be_v mention_v and_o that_o be_v the_o 33_o of_o h._n 8._o c._n 23._o that_o do_v give_v the_o king_n power_n to_o award_v commission_n of_o oyer_n and_o terminer_n for_o trial_n in_o any_o county_n of_o england_n and_o that_o say_v the_o statute_n in_o such_o case_n no_o challenge_n to_o the_o shire_n or_o hundred_o shall_v be_v allow_v that_o be_v you_o shall_v not_o challenge_v the_o jury_n in_o such_o a_o case_n because_o they_o have_v not_o freehold_n be_v not_o of_o the_o county_n where_o the_o treason_n be_v commit_v but_o that_o upon_o the_o trial_n challenge_v for_o lack_v of_o freehold_n of_o 40_o s._n a_o year_n shall_v be_v allow_v though_o it_o alter_v the_o manner_n of_o try_v treason_n by_o the_o common_a law_n so_o that_o my_o lord_n here_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o that_o very_a parliament_n that_o though_o it_o take_v away_o the_o usual_a method_n of_o trial_n yet_o it_o say_v the_o prisoner_n challenge_v for_o want_v of_o freehold_n now_o indeed_o that_o statute_n be_v repeal_v but_o i_o mention_v it_o as_o to_o the_o proviso_n that_o it_o show_v the_o judgement_n of_o that_o parliament_n at_o that_o time_n my_o lord_n those_o other_o statute_n that_o have_v be_v make_v to_o regulate_v city_n and_o

statute_n that_o show_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n sufficient_a to_o our_o purpose_n do_v not_o extend_v to_o this_o case_n the_o statute_n go_v only_o to_o murder_n and_o felony_n but_o not_o to_o treason_n and_o we_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o penal_a statute_n and_o concern_v the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o a_o man_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v strict_o it_o oust_n the_o prisoner_n of_o a_o benefit_n and_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n if_o treason_n be_v not_o mention_v your_o lordship_n can_v by_o equity_n extend_v it_o to_o it_o when_o it_o only_a mention_n inferior_a offence_n and_o take_v away_o the_o benefit_n in_o low_a case_n like_o the_o case_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o winchester_n where_o the_o statute_n set_v down_o dean_n and_o chapter_n and_o other_o ecclesiastical_a person_n it_o shall_v not_o extend_v to_o bishop_n because_o it_o begin_v with_o person_n of_o a_o inferior_a nature_n no_o more_o shall_v murder_n and_o felony_n extend_v to_o treason_n but_o further_o the_o statute_n only_o concern_v freemen_n for_o there_o be_v a_o express_a proviso_n n_o the_o case_n for_o in_o case_n any_o knight_n or_o esquire_n come_v to_o be_v

of_o london_n my_o lord_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n 7_o h._n 7._o c._n 5._o why_o there_o be_v not_o only_o requisite_a at_o the_o common_a law_n that_o the_o juror_n have_v sufficient_a

pass_v upon_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n aught_o by_o the_o law_n by_o the_o statute_n and_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o have_v freehold_a where_o be_v there_o then_o any_o
