of_o the_o king_n say_v the_o author_n in_o that_o law_n of_o 25_o e._n 3._o be_v not_o restrain_v to_o kill_v of_o his_o natural_a person_n but_o extend_v as_o well_o to_o his_o civil_a death_n as_o

to_o depose_v the_o king_n to_o imprison_v he_o be_v treason_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o plain_a that_o they_o be_v treason_n within_o this_o law_n of_o 25_o e._n 3._o upon_o which_o this_o

to_o avoid_v uncertainty_n and_o variety_n of_o opinion_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o arbitrariness_n of_o judge_n in_o the_o ordinary_a court_n and_o the_o act_n take_v care_n that_o doubtful_a case_n

conspire_v to_o levy_v war_n be_v a_o overt-act_n to_o prove_v the_o compass_n and_o imagine_v the_o king_n death_n for_o which_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n from_o sir_n edward_n coke_n first_o they_o be_v different_a species_n as_o sir_n edward_n coke_n observe_v in_o his_o three_o institutes_n fol._n 14._o the_o three_o paragraph_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o the_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v a_o overt-act_n for_o another_o that_o be_v conspire_v to_o levy_v war_n nay_o the_o actual_a levy_v of_o war_n too_o be_v one_o species_n of_o treason_n can_v be_v a_o overt-act_n for_o the_o compass_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n which_o be_v another_o species_n of_o treason_n but_o this_o be_v that_o the_o antidote_a labour_n only_o say_v sir_n edward_n coke_n the_o overt-act_n of_o the_o one_o may_v be_v a_o overt-act_n for_o another_o sort_n or_o species_n of_o treason_n and_o i_o agree_v it_o if_o the_o overt-act_n in_o the_o one_o sort_n of_o treason_n may_v as_o fit_o and_o as_o proper_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o as_o equal_o be_v also_o a_o overt-act_n in_o the_o other_o sort_n and_o have_v a_o tendency_n to_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o other_o sort_n and_o it_o also_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o proof_n to_o be_v so_o intend_v by_o the_o conspirator_n as_o for_o example_n actual_a seize_v of_o the_o king_n guard_n not_o a_o conspire_v to_o seize_v the_o king_n guard_n and_o such_o guard_n as_o be_v not_o plain_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o indictment_n what_o they_o be_v may_v in_o its_o nature_n be_v a_o overt-act_n to_o make_v manifest_a the_o compass_n of_o the_o king_n death_n and_o be_v a_o act_n proper_a enough_o and_o have_v in_o its_o nature_n a_o tendency_n towards_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n but_o than_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v so_o intend_v and_o design_v that_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o king_n but_o if_o it_o appear_v otherwise_o upon_o the_o proof_n as_o here_o it_o do_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o intend_v but_o design_v mere_o in_o order_n to_o a_o rebellion_n and_o levy_v of_o war_n for_o which_o also_o it_o be_v as_o apt_a and_o proper_a in_o its_o nature_n and_o have_v as_o great_a a_o tendency_n that_o way_n then_o it_o can_v be_v apply_v nor_o make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o overt-act_n to_o prove_v the_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n as_o in_o this_o case_n of_o my_o lord_n russel_n it_n be_v for_o this_o as_o sir_n edward_n coke_n well_o say_v fol._n 14._o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o three_o paragraph_n of_o that_o fol._n will_v be_v to_o confound_v the_o several_a class_n or_o species_n of_o treason_n and_o the_o confusion_n of_o species_n be_v abominable_a in_o nature_n and_o where_o sir_n edward_n coke_n seem_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o some_o judge_n that_o the_o overt-act_n of_o depose_v may_v be_v a_o good_a overt-act_n of_o kill_v which_o with_o the_o distinction_n that_o i_o have_v offer_v be_v just_a enough_o yet_o he_o have_v some_o hesitation_n for_o he_o conclude_v that_o opinion_n of_o he_o with_o these_o word_n fol._n 6._o in_o his_o three_o instit._n upon_o the_o word_n mort_fw-fr but_o say_v he_o peruse_v advise_o the_o statute_n of_o 13_o eliz._n cap._n 1._o and_o why_o those_o statute_n because_o by_o those_o statute_n conspire_v to_o depose_v the_o queen_n be_v make_v treason_n which_o need_v not_o as_o have_v be_v observe_v already_o if_o they_o be_v treason_n within_o that_o clause_n of_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n within_o the_o statute_n of_o 25_o e._n 3._o the_o like_a may_v be_v observe_v in_o many_o other_o such_o temporary_a law_n as_o that_o of_o 25_o h._n 8._o cap._n 22._o 26_o h._n 8._o c._n 13._o 28_o h._n 8._o c._n 7._o 1_o e._n 6._o cap._n 12._o &_o 5._o &_o 6._o edw._n 6._o cap._n 11._o and_o it_o be_v worthy_a observation_n though_o by_o way_n of_o a_o short_a digression_n that_o in_o many_o if_o not_o in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o temporary_a law_n of_o treason_n there_o be_v a_o express_a clause_n and_o provision_n still_o that_o concealment_n or_o keep_v secret_a of_o any_o high-treason_n shall_v
