expression_n he_o have_v injure_v the_o propriety_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o have_v put_v such_o discontent_n upon_o the_o city_n that_o they_o be_v the_o less_o willing_a upon_o any_o occasion_n

before_o second_o that_o treason_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o a_o simple_a and_o specificative_a nature_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o be_v so_o by_o accumulation_n but_o either_o must_v be_v so_o in_o some_o or_o either_o of_o the_o article_n or_o else_o can_v not_o be_v so_o at_o all_o three_o he_o do_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o false_a therefore_o can_v not_o be_v so_o by_o accumulation_n but_o either_o must_v be_v so_o in_o some_o or_o each_o of_o the_o article_n or_o else_o can_v not_o be_v so_o at_o all_o that_o a_o heap_n or_o

itself_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o answer_n when_o under_o that_o name_n they_o shall_v be_v charge_v against_o i_o but_o they_o can_v no_o way_n confer_v to_o the_o make_v up_o of_o treason_n unless_o some_o at_o the_o least_o be_v treason_n in_o the_o individual_a second_o that_o the_o testimony_n bring_v against_o he_o be_v all_o of_o they_o single_a not_o two_o one_o way_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o make_v faith_n in_o matter_n of_o debt_n much_o less_o in_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o death_n yea_o that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o statute_n express_o to_o impeach_v a_o man_n of_o high-treason_n under_o the_o evidence_n of_o two_o famous_a witness_n much_o less_o to_o adjudge_v and_o convince_v he_o upon_o attestation_n of_o one_o three_o to_o the_o lord-treasurors_a testimony_n he_o do_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n condescend_v unto_o it_o but_o upon_o these_o ground_n only_o that_o there_o be_v a_o present_a necessity_n of_o money_n that_o all_o the_o

that_o there_o be_v then_o a_o sentence_n of_o the_o star-chamber_n for_o the_o right_n of_o pay_v ship-money_n for_o his_o part_n he_o will_v never_o be_v more_o prudent_a than_o his_o teacher_n nor_o give_v judgement_n against_o the_o judge_n and_o therefore_o he_o think_v it_o not_o far_o amiss_o to_o advise_v the_o king_n for_o the_o collect_v of_o that_o which_o by_o law_n be_v his_o own_o in_o such_o a_o present_a and_o urgent_a necessity_n and_o although_o his_o opinion_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o have_v be_v amiss_o he_o hope_v that_o though_o in_o case_n of_o religion_n be_v attend_v with_o stubbornness_n and_o pertinacy_n it_o may_v come_v home_o to_o heresy_n yet_o in_o his_o case_n opinion_n can_v not_o reach_v so_o far_o as_o treason_n unless_o it_o be_v treason_n
