a_o second_o time_n and_o the_o instance_n of_o a_o murderer_n commit_v treason_n after_o his_o be_v condemn_v for_o the_o murder_n be_v most_o impertinent_a and_o absurd_a there_o be_v a_o vast_a

to_o his_o movable_n but_o his_o land_n and_o heretable_a estate_n still_o remain_v with_o himself_o and_o go_v to_o his_o heir_n and_o therefore_o if_o a_o person_n sentence_v for_o murder_n shall_v

whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o john_n swinton_n by_o his_o answer_n give_v in_o to_o the_o parliament_n 166●_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v at_o worcester_n and_o that_o he_o go_v

to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o native_a country_n he_o declare_v in_o his_o answer_n he_o can_v say_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o searcher_n of_o all_z heart_n that_o he_o think_v if_o the_o

witness_n of_o the_o reproach_n of_o his_o country_n and_o the_o distress_n his_o country_n man_n be_v under_o which_o confession_n be_v so_o qualify_v and_o particular_o that_o he_o be_v there_o as_o a_o prisoner_n it_o can_v be_v divide_v and_o so_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o article_n of_o the_o indictment_n and_o can_v never_o infer_v any_o crime_n against_o he_o far_o less_o the_o crime_n of_o

as_o no_o law_n make_v by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n can_v hinder_v the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n to_o proceed_v against_o traitor_n who_o be_v scotsmen_n so_o no_o indemnity_n pass_v in_o the_o english_a parliament_n can_v indemnify_v scotsmens_n crime_n or_o can_v hinder_v the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n to_o proceed_v against_o they_o albeit_o they_o have_v be_v particular_o indemnify_v by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n crime_n may_v be_v judge_v and_o punish_v in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v

who_o the_o offence_n be_v commit_v that_o english_a act_n of_o indemnity_n if_o he_o be_v guilty_a behove_v to_o free_v he_o which_o be_v general_a and_o so_o comprehensive_a not_o only_o indemnify_v all_o his_o majesty_n subject_n in_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o the_o dominion_n thereunto_o belong_v but_o also_o the_o subject_n of_o all_o other_o his_o majesties_n dominion_n it_o must_v necessary_o comprehend_v scotsmen_n that_o have_v commit_v crime_n in_o england_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o be_v pursue_v for_o the_o same_o before_o the_o parliament_n or_o any_o other_o judicatory_a in_o scotland_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o a_o judicial_a confession_n emit_v before_o a_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n make_v full_a faith_n albeit_o not_o subscribe_v
