but_o then_o there_o be_v several_a way_n think_v of_o first_o the_o design_n be_v by_o arm_n without_o any_o relation_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n but_o only_o by_o arms._n then_o they_o come_v to_o

of_o restore_a the_o late_a king_n by_o arm_n be_v one_o overt-act_n and_o the_o design_n of_o assassinate_v the_o king_n be_v another_o overt-act_n so_o although_o the_o law_n do_v require_v there_o shall_v be_v two_o witness_n to_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o treason_n yet_o the_o law_n do_v not_o require_v two_o witness_n to_o every_o overt-act_n for_o if_o one_o witness_v prove_v one_o
