in_o one_o body_n can_v possible_o make_v a_o felony_n nor_o 100_o felony_n a_o treason_n instance_v in_o that_o of_o a_o bloody_a knife_n in_o a_o murderer_n hand_n but_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n he_o well_o know_v that_o the_o case_n of_o murder_v a_o private_a man_n and_o of_o a_o whole_a kingdom_n differ_v and_o that_o there_o may_v be_v treason_n intend_v in_o the_o latter_a though_o by_o god_n mercy_n prevent_v he_o that_o intend_v to_o kill_v a_o king_n though_o it_o be_v not_o perpetrate_v be_v nevertheless_o guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n yet_o a_o king_n though_o murder_v may_v live_v in_o his_o posterity_n but_o to_o kill_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o their_o posterity_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o perpetual_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n if_o this_o be_v not_o high_a treason_n and_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o treason_n i_o must_v profess_v i_o yet_o know_v not_o what_o treason_n be_v beside_o my_o lord_n under_o favour_n i_o shall_v put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n that_o faux_n the_o great_a and_o most_o desperate_a traitor_n that_o any_o age_n have_v bring_v forth_o may_v have_v pretend_v this_o excuse_n that_o the_o take_n in_o of_o barrel_n of_o gunpowder_n and_o put_v they_o under_o the_o parliament_n house_n lay_v the_o train_n of_o powder_n and_o kindle_v the_o match_n to_o execute_v the_o most_o horrid_a villainy_n that_o ever_o hell_n teem_a be_v no_o treason_n because_o not_o effect_v but_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o circumstance_n you_o will_v find_v it_o capital_a treason_n and_o he_o may_v have_v have_v as_o much_o excuse_n for_o his_o villainy_n as_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n in_o this_o case_n my_o lord_n thomas_n earl_n of_o strafford_n endeavour_v and_o attempt_v to_o kill_v the_o law_n the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o high_a treason_n it_o may_v with_o very_o good_a reason_n seem_v strange_a my_o lord_n of_o strafford_n distinguish_v of_o treason_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v treason_n by_o statute_n at_o common_a law_n and_o treason_n arbitrary_a or_o constructive_a my_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o trace_v he_o a_o while_n and_o afterward_o to_o

the_o fifteen_o article_n and_o pretend_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o charge_n be_v that_o he_o cause_v a_o warrant_n to_o be_v execute_v by_o robert_n savil_n sergeant_n at_o arm_n and_o divers_a other_o who_o as_o he_o conceive_v ought_v not_o to_o swear_v in_o his_o own_o justification_n and_o that_o he_o condemn_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o council_n board_n in_o ireland_n now_o say_v he_o this_o warrant_n be_v not_o produce_v but_o my_o lord_n the_o judge_n know_v and_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v charge_v with_o felony_n although_o the_o thing_n steal_v be_v not_o produce_v yet_o nevertheless_o the_o man_n stand_v charge_v i_o say_v therefore_o this_o be_v but_o a_o new_a way_n and_o invention_n find_v out_o new_o by_o his_o lordship_n for_o aught_o i_o can_v see_v to_o commit_v high_a treason_n and_o to_o say_v he_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o it_o i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n patience_n and_o i_o trust_v to_o c●eare_v this_o assertion_n and_o whereas_o he_o pretend_v the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n to_o be_v no_o competent_a witness_n i_o wonder_v much_o at_o it_o he_o be_v please_v to_o spend_v much_o of_o his_o rhetoric_n when_o he_o say_v that_o money_n be_v levy_v but_o by_o two_o or_o three_o soldier_n and_o no_o more_o but_o your_o lordship_n know_v it_o be_v as_o much_o mischief_n to_o be_v overmastre_v by_o four_o as_o four_o thousand_o your_o lordship_n may_v remember_v that_o the_o warrant_n
