what_o sir_n william_n jones_n say_v in_o the_o viscount_n stafford_n case_n i_o do_v not_o remember_v but_o it_o be_v plain_a his_o accusation_n be_v for_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n by_o underhand_o deal_v and_o though_o that_o take_v the_o king_n prisoner_n be_v high_a treason_n yet_o the_o compass_v it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v treason_n if_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n have_v not_o make_v it_o so_o no_o more_o than_o if_o the_o act_n have_v say_v kill_v the_o king_n shall_v be_v treason_n to_o infer_v therefore_o compass_v his_o death_n shall_v be_v high_a treason_n for_o be_v it_o not_o beg_v the_o question_n to_o say_v therefore_o consult_v to_o do_v it_o be_v high_a treason_n for_o where_o be_v the_o consequence_n coin_v of_o money_n be_v high_a treason_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o design_v to_o coin_v money_n be_v high_a treason_n and_o a_o much_o more_o remote_a consequence_n be_v it_o to_o say_v compass_v the_o seize_v the_o king_n guard_n be_v compass_v the_o king_n death_n i_o deny_v that_o design_v to_o seize_v all_o the_o fort_n in_o england_n be_v high_a treason_n within_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o nay_o the_o actual_a seize_v they_o be_v not_o think_v high_a treason_n within_o that_o statute_n and_o therefore_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o 14_o eliz._n express_o enact_v that_o the_o seize_v or_o keep_v of_o any_o of_o the_o queen_n castle_n or_o fort_n from_o she_o shall_v be_v high_a treason_n during_o her_o life_n which_o show_v it_o be_v not_o treason_n before_o but_o if_o it_o be_v high_a treason_n within_o the_o statute_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o it_o be_v within_o the_o clause_n of_o levy_v war_n and_o not_o the_o clause_n of_o compass_v the_o king_n death_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o rouse_n indictment_n be_v not_o he_o try_v the_o day_n after_o the_o lord_n russel_n be_v try_v by_o the_o same_o judge_n and_o i_o dare_v say_v the_o author_n do_v not_o think_v rouse_v guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n rouse_v and_o leigh_n be_v only_o trick_v one_o another_o in_o which_o leigh_n be_v too_o hard_o for_o he_o and_o rouse_v die_v for_o the_o same_o but_o how_o vain_a be_v the_o author_n to_o quote_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o very_a same_o judge_n in_o other_o case_n to_o make_v good_a his_o thesis_n in_o the_o lord_n russel_n trial_n when_o he_o can_v but_o remember_v how_o explode_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o argument_n be_v of_o a_o certain_a judge_n at_o the_o old-bailey_n when_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o soldier_n fly_v from_o his_o colour_n be_v felony_n without_o benefit_n of_o clergy_n a_o case_n too_o plain_a to_o bear_v a_o argument_n either_o way_n who_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o it_o but_o that_o if_o the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o he_o have_v hang_v many_o a_o man_n wrongful_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o find_v a_o author_n in_o so_o short_a a_o space_n as_o a_o sheet_n of_o paper_n afford_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o so_o many_o repetition_n and_o it_o will_v be_v idle_a to_o repeat_v the_o answer_n to_o they_o where_o do_v the_o author_n find_v that_o by_o our_o law_n the_o king_n must_v not_o can_v assault_v strike_v seize_z attach_v or_o imprison_v in_o defence_n of_o himself_o no_o man_n say_v it_o before_o the_o author_n the_o law_n be_v defective_a if_o it_o be_v so_o and_o fit_a to_o be_v alter_v it_o will_v be_v worse_o than_o bind_v the_o king_n to_o his_o good_a behaviour_n it_o be_v true_a the_o king_n can_v execute_v the_o ordinary_a office_n of_o a_o magistrate_n but_o remit_v they_o to_o be_v execute_v by_o some_o commission_v by_o he_o but_o what_o do_v in_o his_o own_o defence_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o a_o quite_o different_a nature_n a_o judge_n ought_v not_o to_o strike_v a_o man_n but_o no_o man_n say_v that_o if_o assault_v he_o may_v not_o fight_v in_o his_o own_o defence_n which_o he_o certain_o may_v justify_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o a_o judge_n to_o strike_v by_o way_n of_o punishment_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o leave_v to_o his_o officer_n another_o thing_n to_o strike_v in_o his_o defence_n and_o now_o be_v the_o author_n in_o the_o repeat_a strain_n of_o his_o inference_n and_o i_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o what_o he_o here_o or_o elsewhere_o have_v say_v overthrow_v the_o distinction_n between_o a_o actual_a seize_v and_o a_o agreement_n to_o seize_v the_o guard_n i_o be_o sure_a his_o close_a reason_n that_o both_o have_v a_o tendency_n to_o thing_n intend_v edify_v little_a the_o king_n can_v live_v unless_o he_o eat_v he_o can_v eat_v without_o have_v his_o meat_n dress_v he_o can_v have_v his_o meat_n dress_v without_o a_o cook_n ergo_fw-la he_o that_o kill_v the_o king_n cook_n starve_v the_o king_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n it_o be_v very_o odd_a for_o the_o author_n to_o think_v he_o can_v evade_v the_o objection_n that_o word_n be_v not_o treason_n within_o 25._o ed._n 3._o because_o enact_v to_o be_v so_o for_o some_o time_n by_o a_o say_n that_o that_o statute_n be_v a_o compliment_n to_o a_o new-crowned_a head_n what_o can_v

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

himself_o up_o only_o to_o prove_v the_o indictment_n good_a and_o legal_a and_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o judge_n to_o be_v law_n i_o shall_v therefore_o only_o speak_v as_o to_o those_o two_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
