suppose_v they_o guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n they_o be_v not_o exempt_v from_o the_o punishment_n and_o who_o be_v nearly_a relate_v to_o the_o king_n than_o she_o that_o be_v one_o with_o he_o who_o

the_o deserve_a death_n of_o a_o traitor_n as_o it_o be_v unreasonbale_n for_o any_o other_o to_o expect_v to_o be_v excuse_v so_o can_v no_o man_n argue_v the_o high_a court_n that_o condemn_v she_o to_o die_v of_o injustice_n but_o rather_o admire_v their_o lenity_n and_o mercy_n if_o they_o shall_v mitigate_v the_o punishment_n into_o a_o banishment_n from_o the_o kingdom_n from_o the_o right_n of_o a_o queen_n and_o of_o a_o consort_n they_o that_o have_v power_n to_o inflict_v the_o great_a punishment_n can_v be_v deny_v the_o privilege_n of_o assign_v what_o commutation_n they_o please_v and_o as_o they_o be_v the_o only_a competent_a judge_n what_o offence_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v esteem_v capital_a so_o if_o they_o shall_v judge_v the_o crime_n before_o they_o of_o a_o
