as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o my_o lord_n bacon_n element_n much_o less_o do_v it_o prove_v that_o the_o consequence_n of_o a_o design_n to_o seize_v the_o guard_n be_v to_o kill_v depose_v or_o

it_o be_v plain_a if_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n in_o story_n be_v case_n be_v such_o as_o report_v it_o gain_v no_o credit_n with_o my_o lord_n coke_n who_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o

against_o he_o and_o will_v not_o permit_v it_o to_o be_v give_v in_o evidence_n for_o he_o these_o and_o twenty_o other_o thing_n complain_v of_o in_o that_o trial_n by_o the_o title_n of_o the_o

sufficient_a treason_n allege_v in_o the_o indictment_n i_o agree_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a overt-act_n of_o the_o treason_n allege_v i_o deny_v for_o though_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n be_v sometime_o a_o consequent_a of_o a_o rebellion_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o always_o much_o less_o be_v it_o a_o consequence_n of_o a_o consult_v agreement_n or_o conclusion_n to_o raise_v a_o rebellion_n and_o to_o say_v truth_n it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o say_v that_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o do_v one_o thing_n be_v a_o overt-act_n of_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o do_v another_o and_o the_o author_n himself_o in_o effect_n own_v it_o to_o be_v true_a when_o he_o say_v a_o overt-act_n must_v be_v something_o do_v but_o if_o a_o agreement_n to_o raise_v rebellion_n and_o seize_v the_o guard_n shall_v be_v call_v something_o do_v yet_o it_o not_o be_v a_o necessary_a declaration_n of_o the_o party_n imagination_n to_o destroy_v the_o king_n as_o it_o be_v not_o it_o be_v not_o a_o overt-act_n of_o that_o treason_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o author_n in_o this_o matter_n use_v abundance_n of_o word_n to_o the_o same_o sense_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n look_v like_o argue_v but_o if_o consider_v have_v nothing_o of_o reason_n in_o they_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o natural_a genuine_a necessary_a declaration_n etc._n etc._n but_o give_v no_o colour_n of_o reason_n more_o than_o abundance_n of_o word_n to_o prove_v the_o consequence_n but_o because_o i_o will_v put_v the_o author_n in_o the_o right_a way_n of_o reason_v this_o matter_n in_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o law_n but_o common_a sense_n and_o of_o which_o every_o man_n of_o equal_a natural_a part_n be_v as_o good_a a_o judge_n as_o the_o best_a lawyer_n i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o overtact_n of_o a_o man_n intention_n some_o prove_v themselves_o and_o be_v direct_a evidence_n of_o the_o intention_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n cut_v another_o throat_n though_o that_o other_o do_v not_o die_v of_o the_o wound_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o overt-act_n of_o a_o intention_n to_o kill_v he_o some_o be_v overtact_n and_o not_o direct_a evidence_n of_o the_o intention_n but_o the_o intention_n as_o well_o as_o the_o overt-act_n must_v be_v prove_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v hide_v in_o a_o place_n where_o the_o king_n usual_o come_v arm_v with_o unusual_a weapon_n this_o be_v a_o good_a overt-act_n in_o the_o indictment_n and_o good_a evidence_n on_o the_o trial_n if_o the_o prisoner_n can_v give_v no_o good_a account_n of_o his_o be_v so_o lurk_v and_o so_o arm_v and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o these_o be_v all_o the_o sort_n of_o overtact_n that_o may_v be_v lay_v in_o a_o indictment_n yet_o at_o least_o i_o show_v the_o author_n that_o overtact_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o reason_n and_o since_o he_o have_v offer_v none_o for_o his_o overtact_n i_o suspect_v he_o can_v give_v none_o but_o if_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o seize_v the_o
