in_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a money_n know_v it_o to_o be_v such_o to_o make_v payment_n with_o it_o be_v high-treason_n by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o clip_v file_n or_o wash_v money_n by_o 3_o hen._n v._o and_o very_o good_a reason_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o these_o and_o every_o of_o they_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n against_o the_o public_a for_o money_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o sinew_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o impair_v or_o counterfeit_v it_o be_v a_o great_a joss_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o public_a so_o that_o the_o offence_n in_o so_o do_v be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o king_n image_n for_o the_o french_a money_n and_o the_o spanish_a coin_n and_o other_o be_v current_n in_o england_n which_o have_v not_o the_o king_n image_n upon_o they_o but_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a interest_n the_o public_a have_v in_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n if_o the_o money_n have_v any_o other_o stamp_n or_o size_n put_v upon_o it_o by_o public_a authority_n to_o kill_v the_o chancellor_n treasurer_n or_o the_o king_n justice_n be_v in_o their_o place_n do_v their_o office_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o it_o be_v very_o great_a reason_n that_o they_o who_o serve_v the_o public_a in_o such_o eminent_a station_n shall_v have_v the_o public_a protection_n for_o when_o they_o faithful_o and_o honest_o discharge_v their_o several_a trust_n the_o public_a receive_v great_a advantage_n by_o it_o and_o therefore_o this_o offence_n be_v make_v high-treason_n to_o counterfeit_v the_o sign-manual_a privy-signet_n or_o seal_v be_v high-treason_n by_o 1_o m._n 6._o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v so_o by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o to_o counterfeit_n the_o privy-seal_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o offence_n in_o these_o case_n be_v make_v so_o capital_a be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a detriment_n they_o bring_v upon_o the_o public_a to_o extol_v a_o foreign_a power_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 1_o eliz._n and_o very_o fit_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o every_o man_n will_v allow_v it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n to_o set_v up_o any_o other_o power_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o public_a authority_n for_o a_o priest_n or_o a_o jesuit_n to_o come_v and_o abide_v within_o this_o realm_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 27_o eliz._n i_o believe_v a_o great_a many_o people_n have_v be_v under_o a_o very_a great_a mistake_n in_o this_o matter_n suppose_v it_o be_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n be_v put_v to_o death_n whereas_o it_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o for_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o politic_a account_n that_o they_o suffer_v it_o be_v for_o a_o offence_n against_o the_o government_n that_o they_o be_v execute_v for_o it_o have_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o this_o sort_n of_o vermin_n by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n sow_v the_o seed_n of_o division_n and_o thereby_o wrought_v great_a disturbance_n in_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v therefore_o think_v fit_a by_o the_o parliament_n to_o take_v this_o way_n as_o the_o most_o effectual_a to_o keep_v they_o out_o for_o as_o what_o they_o do_v amount_v to_o nothing_o less_o than_o treason_n so_o it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a that_o the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o offence_n and_o since_o it_o be_v become_v a_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n if_o this_o sort_n of_o people_n will_v be_v so_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o break_v it_o they_o have_v no_o body_n to_o blame_v but_o themselves_o if_o they_o suffer_v by_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a just_a and_o reasonable_a law_n to_o absolve_v any_o from_o their_o allegiance_n or_o to_o be_v absolve_v be_v high_a treason_n by_o 3_o jac._n 1._o the_o law_n do_v heighten_v or_o abate_v the_o punishment_n according_a as_o the_o offence_n do_v more_o or_o less_o affect_v the_o public_a peace_n so_o that_o the_o more_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a prejudice_n the_o great_a be_v the_o offence_n and_o what_o can_v strike_v more_o direct_o at_o the_o ruin_n and_o overthrow_v of_o the_o nation_n than_o to_o withdraw_v the_o people_n from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o to_o become_v the_o destroyer_n of_o their_o native_a country_n and_o since_o those_o that_o absolve_v and_o those_o that_o be_v absolve_v have_v thereby_o declare_v themselves_o enemy_n to_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v very_o fit_a the_o government_n shall_v treat_v they_o as_o such_o the_o next_o offence_n be_v petty-treason_n as_o for_o a_o wife_n to_o kill_v her_o husband_n a_o priest_n his_o ordinary_a a_o servant_n his_o master_n these_o be_v make_v so_o capital_a because_o of_o the_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o pay_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o the_o law_n give_v the_o other_o over_o they_o the_o next_o offence_n be_v felony_n and_o it_o be_v either_o against_o the_o person_n or_o the_o good_n or_o

and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o lie_v with_o a_o child_n under_o ten_o year_n old_a though_o with_o her_o consent_n so_o be_v witchcraft_n but_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n very_o hard_o to_o prove_v so_o be_v poison_v the_o most_o secret_a and_o treacherous_a way_n of_o murder_v of_o all_o other_o a_o offence_n so_o abhor_v by_o the_o law_n that_o by_o statute_n 22_o hen._n 8._o c._n 9_o it_o be_v make_v
