some_o remarkable_a observation_n on_o the_o proceed_n against_o sir_n thomas_n armstrong_n in_o his_o majesty_n court_n of_o kings-bench_n at_o westminster_n upon_o a_o outlawry_n for_o

notorious_o guilty_a of_o and_o rather_o to_o arraign_v the_o law_n that_o adjudge_v they_o than_o confess_v the_o gild_n they_o be_v adjudge_v of_o that_o i_o have_v undertake_v a_o little_a to_o look_v back_o on_o the_o proceed_n against_o a_o the_o last_o word_n of_o sir_n thomas_n armstrong_n if_o ever_o any_o people_n have_v cause_n to_o say_v they_o live_v under_o a_o good_a and_o

welfare_n of_o our_o present_a monarch_n so_o on_o the_o other_o for_o the_o equal_a and_o impartial_a justice_n we_o enjoy_v under_o he_o it_o be_v not_o with_o we_o as_o in_o time_n un-forgotten_a that_o our_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n be_v at_o the_o disposal_n of_o a_o unjust_a and_o tyrannical_a usurpation_n we_o have_v no_o high_a court_n of_o injustice_n no_o unordinary_a proceed_n that_o must_v be_v warrant_v by_o subsequent_a act_n or_o vote_n in_o parliament_n to_o avouch_v their_o legality_n but_o every_o man_n may_v set_v under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o sing_v a_o requiem_n to_o himself_o in_o peace_n and_o plenty_n well_o know_v that_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o labour_n and_o industry_n be_v his_o own_o propriety_n unless_o he_o just_o make_v a_o forfeiture_n thereof_o by_o his_o traitorous_a and_o criminal_a action_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o position_n of_o too_o many_o among_o we_o that_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o quarrel_v with_o the_o benefit_n

the_o outlawry_n and_o beg_v to_o be_v try_v urge_v as_o a_o point_n of_o law_n the_o statute_n of_o edward_n the_o six_o which_o provide_v that_o if_o a_o party_n outlaw_o shall_v within_o one_o

consider_v this_o plea_n and_o let_v any_o impartial_a eye_n take_v a_o view_n thereof_o if_o such_o party_n so_o outlaw_v yield_v himself_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o yield_v himself_o to_o the_o law_n to_o run_v away_o shelter_v and_o abscond_v out_o of_o the_o sight_n and_o reach_v of_o it_o to_o defy_v all_o proclamation_n and_o stand_v out_o from_o the_o legal_a and_o repeat_v summons_n thereof_o and_o when_o at_o last_o by_o the_o care_n and_o caution_n of_o the_o government_n he_o be_v forcible_o take_v and_o against_o his_o will_n bring_v in_o a_o prisoner_n to_o offer_v then_o to_o submit_v himself_o and_o to_o take_v hold_n of_o what_o be_v never_o intend_v for_o he_o if_o this_o be_v a_o yield_a according_a to_o the_o statute_n than_o sir_n thomas_n armstrong_n may_v tolerable_o enough_o pretend_v the_o same_o but_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baffle_v have_v he_o indeed_o through_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n come_v and_o fling_v himself_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o his_o offend_a majesty_n and_o humble_o have_v submit_v his_o head_n a_o forfeit_n to_o justice_n or_o through_o sense_n of_o his_o innocency_n appeal_v to_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o government_n it_o may_v have_v bear_v some_o weight_n and_o without_o all_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v have_v the_o favour_n of_o his_o prince_n and_o provision_n of_o the_o law_n which_o in_o this_o case_n he_o be_v just_o and_o regular_o a._n bridge_v of_o nor_o can_v he_o as_o in_o a_o further_a part_n of_o the_o say_v proceed_n be_v by_o he_o urge_v claim_v any_o right_n by_o what_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o another_o criminal_a in_o his_o case_n a_o little_a while_o a_o go_v say_v he_o there_o be_v one_o in_o this_o place_n have_v the_o benefit_n of_o a_o trial_n offer_v he_o if_o he_o will_v accept_v it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o now_o desire_n and_o i_o thank_v god_n my_o case_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n this_o i_o kn●w_v my_o own_o innocency_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v by_o a_o trial_n this_o he_o mean_v by_o mr_n h●lloway_n but_o what_o be_v offer_v to_o he_o be_v the_o product_n of_o his_o majesty_n imparraleled_a bounty_n and_o can_v never_o be_v demand_v as_o a_o debt_n which_o be_v free_a grace_n and_o favour_n but_o their_o case_n say_v sir_n thomas_n armstrong_n be_v different_a true_a the_o one_o have_v confess_v his_o
