several_a act_n will_v not_o make_v a_o proof_n by_o two_o witness_n it_o must_v be_v a_o proof_n by_o two_o witness_n against_o one_o act_n therefore_o the_o proof_n of_o any_o thing_n against_o the_o act_n of_o the_o 17_o of_o july_n 1649_o and_o another_o proof_n of_o a_o thing_n do_v against_o the_o act_n of_o the_o thirty_o of_o january_n 1648_o and_o another_o for_o a_o thing_n do_v against_o the_o act_n of_o the_o 2d._o of_o aug._n 1650_o here_o the_o offence_n be_v several_a the_o treason_n several_a and_o the_o witness_n to_o either_o stand_v single_o by_o themselves_o how_o the_o case_n of_o the_o fact_n be_v upon_o the_o proof_n i_o can_v tell_v that_o be_v whether_o this_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v the_o case_n but_o again_o if_o the_o charge_n be_v single_a as_o now_o upon_o the_o act_n of_o the_o 30_o of_o january_n 1648_o for_o proclaim_v of_o the_o king_n or_o promote_a the_o prince_n of_o wales_n his_o interest_n to_o be_v king_n of_o england_n we_o think_v
