decreet_a it_o be_v obvious_a and_o clear_a by_o law_n and_o common_a sense_n that_o a_o man_n that_o be_v once_o forfeit_v can_v be_v again_o forfeit_v see_v by_o the_o first_o forfeiture_n in_o the_o construction_n of_o law_n he_o be_v no_o more_o in_o be_v and_o can_v have_v no_o estate_n to_o forfeit_v it_o be_v answer_v one_a that_o this_o reason_n have_v the_o same_o truth_n in_o it_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o reason_n have_v for_o the_o duke_n of_o lauderdale_n gift_n to_o swinton_n forfeiture_n be_v not_o till_o may_n 1661._o and_o by_o their_o own_o acknowledgement_n the_o lord_n of_o the_o article_n do_v upon_o the_o seven_o of_o february_n 1661._o ordain_v swinton_n indytment_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o he_o to_o see_v and_o answer_v and_o his_o appearance_n before_o the_o parliament_n be_v upon_o the_o 27_o of_o the_o same_o month_n which_o be_v three_o month_n before_o the_o duke_n of_o lauderdale_n obtain_v the_o gift_n of_o john_n swintons_n forfeiture_n 2o_n although_o lauderdale_n have_v cause_v raise_v the_o indytment_n after_o his_o obtain_v the_o gift_n of_o forfeiture_n which_o be_v most_o calumnious_a and_o have_v therein_o design_v he_o john_n swinton_n of_o swinton_n and_o have_v libel_v the_o same_o crime_n against_o he_o which_o be_v in_o the_o former_a decreet_a 1651._o yet_o it_o can_v be_v infer_v either_o from_o law_n or_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v a_o pass_v from_o the_o former_a decreet_a for_o the_o design_v john_n swinton_n of_o swinton_n be_v of_o no_o moment_n that_o be_v his_o ordinary_a designation_n and_o a_o wrong_a designation_n can_v neither_o prejudge_v the_o king_n nor_o his_o donatar_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a than_o to_o design_n person_n by_o their_o former_a title_n or_o by_o their_o estate_n which_o they_o former_o have_v right_a to_o whether_o they_o have_v lose_v the_o examine_v by_o forfeiture_n or_o have_v sell_v or_o dispose_v upon_o the_o examine_v 3_o although_o the_o king_n advocate_n do_v narrate_v the_o same_o crime_n in_o the_o new_a indytment_n before_o the_o parliament_n 1661._o for_o which_o he_o be_v former_o forfeit_v in_o anno_fw-la 1651_o with_o several_a other_o new_a crime_n as_o particular_o his_o go_v in_o with_o the_o usurper_n and_o rebel_n to_o worcester_n and_o appear_v there_o in_o arm_n against_o his_o king_n and_o prince_n which_o be_v a_o gild_n and_o crime_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o the_o desert_v of_o his_o majesty_n service_n yet_o it_o do_v no_o way_n loose_v nor_o enervate_v the_o former_a sentence_n and_o decreet_a which_o be_v so_o just_o pronounce_v against_o he_o in_o anno_fw-la 1651._o and_o the_o king_n advocate_n do_v not_o insist_v against_o the_o say_a decease_a john_n swinton_n upon_o the_o crime_n mention_v in_o the_o former_a decreet_a to_o forfeit_v he_o a_o new_a upon_o the_o examine_v but_o do_v insist_v upon_o the_o decreet_a 1651_o as_o probatio_fw-la probata_fw-la and_o that_o the_o say_v decreet_a may_v be_v ratify_v and_o approven_v and_o according_o the_o parliament_n do_v ratify_v and_o approve_v the_o examine_v as_o also_o do_v of_o new_a forfeit_n he_o for_o his_o be_v in_o arm_n at_o worcester_n against_o the_o king_n which_o be_v the_o only_a new_a additional_a article_n insist_v upon_o against_o he_o so_o that_o the_o first_o decreet_a be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v pass_v from_o that_o the_o same_o be_v ratify_v and_o approven_v and_o the_o libel_v of_o the_o crime_n in_o the_o first_o decreet_a in_o the_o last_o indytment_n be_v to_o show_v a_o long_a

first_o reason_n of_o reduction_n against_o the_o decreet_a of_o forfeiture_n in_o anno_fw-la 1661._o be_v in_o effect_n a_o answer_n to_o the_o several_a article_n of_o john_n swinton_n indictment_n of_o which_o the_o earl_n of_o lawderdale_n do_v not_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o take_v any_o notice_n but_o only_o in_o so_o far_o as_o that_o reason_n either_o deny_v or_o extenuat_v the_o crime_n for_o which_o he_o be_v of_o new_a forfault_v thereby_o viz_o his_o go_v along_o with_o the_o usurper_n in_o arm_n to_o worcester_n the_o remnant_n branch_n of_o that_o reason_n relate_v to_o the_o other_o crime_n whereof_o he_o be_v likewise_o guilty_a but_o be_v not_o insist_v upon_o against_o he_o and_o therefore_o be_v wave_v by_o the_o earl_n though_o even_o as_o to_o these_o it_o be_v think_v very_o strange_a how_o any_o person_n can_v have_v the_o impudence_n to_o assert_v that_o john_n swinton_n comply_v with_o a_o usurper_n take_v office_n and_o place_n from_o he_o who_o have_v invade_v his_o native_a country_n with_o a_o army_n of_o sectary_n have_v murder_v his_o just_a and_o lawful_a sovereign_n the_o most_o eminent_a person_n faithful_a subject_n and_o best_a

be_v not_o treasonable_a crime_n therefore_o to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o first_o reason_n against_o the_o three_o article_n of_o john_n swinton_n indictment_n for_o which_o he_o be_v now_o forfault_v by_o the_o parliament_n 1661._o to_o wit_n his_o be_v in_o arm_n at_o worcester_n and_o which_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n bear_v that_o it_o be_v deny_v as_o it_o be_v conceive_v and_o that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v at_o worcester_n he_o can_v have_v instruct_v that_o he_o be_v there_o as_o a_o prisoner_n and_o if_o he_o have_v be_v in_o arm_n as_o he_o

he_o be_v at_o worcester_n and_o that_o he_o go_v there_o at_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o usurper_n but_o for_o his_o excuse_n he_o say_v the_o usurper_n can_v have_v command_v he_o along_o with_o he_o as_o a_o prisoner_n but_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o usurper_n use_v not_o that_o as_o a_o argument_n with_o he_o to_o persuade_v he_o to_o go_v and_o that_o be_v after_o he_o have_v meet_v with_o what_o he_o then_o look_v upon_o as_o hard_a measure_n from_o the_o king_n and_o country_n be_v out_o of_o the_o protection_n of_o law_n and_o that_o he_o go_v i●_n no_o other_o capacity_n but_o as_o

measure_n he_o meet_v with_o and_o his_o be_v out_o of_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o law_n 3o._o that_o he_o be_v there_o personal_o in_o arm_n such_o as_o a_o traveler_n use_v to_o ride_v with_o

and_o the_o good_a service_n which_o be_v pretend_v that_o swinton_n do_v to_o his_o countryman_n at_o that_o time_n be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n of_o his_o intimacy_n and_o interest_n with_o
