what_o sir_n william_n jones_n say_v in_o the_o viscount_n stafford_n case_n i_o do_v not_o remember_v but_o it_o be_v plain_a his_o accusation_n be_v for_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n by_o

be_v compass_v the_o king_n death_n i_o deny_v that_o design_v to_o seize_v all_o the_o fort_n in_o england_n be_v high_a treason_n within_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o nay_o the_o actual_a seize_v they_o be_v not_o think_v high_a treason_n within_o that_o statute_n and_o therefore_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 14_o eliz._n express_o enact_v that_o the_o
