of_o those_o that_o tell_v they_o yet_o you_o do_v not_o sir_n tho._n litt._n a_o question_n shall_v be_v put_v whether_o this_o house_n have_v sufficient_a inducement_n to_o impeach_v afterward_o

the_o first_o article_n read_v sir_n john_n goodr._n treason_n ought_v to_o terminate_v in_o a_o overt-act_n which_o design_v be_v not_o therefore_o pray_v read_v the_o statute_n thereupon_o sundry_a

treason_n it_o must_v be_v felony_n because_o there_o be_v kill_v then_o come_v more_o whether_o raise_v etc._n etc._n and_o it_o follow_v whether_o it_o be_v felony_n or_o trespass_n and_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v more_o strange_a none_o ever_o doubt_v but_o that_o all_o treason_n of_o 25._o ed._n 3._o be_v treason_n before_o and_o be_v so_o resolve_v 12_o q_o eliz._n that_o by_o that_o

what_o be_v it_o either_o adultery_n or_o fornication_n when_o it_o be_v only_o the_o elder_a daughter_n not_o the_o young_a it_o have_v be_v in_o all_o age_n a_o reputation_n to_o person_n who_o have_v be_v councillor_n to_o prince_n according_a to_o emergency_n to_o give_v council_n to_o extricate_v out_o of_o danger_n and_o therefore_o hard_a to_o tax_v a_o minister_n of_o state_n in_o a_o case_n which_o he_o acquaint_v his_o master_n with_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o treason_n but_o against_o the_o king_n himself_o i_o will_v show_v you_o what_o i_o mean_v it_o be_v true_a this_o be_v a_o treason_n which_o can_v arise_v from_o misprision_n because_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o king_n himself_o but_o as_o a_o minister_n of_o state_n he_o have_v liberty_n to_o give_v council_n for_o the_o king_n safety_n if_o a_o person_n be_v able_a to_o inform_v his_o master_n what_o alliance_n be_v good_a for_o he_o it_o his_o duty_n so_o what_o trade_n be_v profitable_a what_o not_o etc._n etc._n so_o where_o man_n or_o money_n be_v want_v to_o advise_v how_o to_o extricate_v be_v commendable_a but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o this_o that_o he_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o law_n invade_v the_o contract_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n it_o will_v be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n advise_v that_o if_o the_o king_n want_v money_n he_o may_v set_v up_o highway_n man_n to_o take_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o to_o he_o and_o so_o the_o skilful_a for_o break_v the_o law_n shall_v be_v esteem_v the_o best_a councillor_n therefore_o whoever_o think_v to_o serve_v his_o prince_n by_o break_v the_o law_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o wise_a man_n that_o he_o be_v the_o high_a criminal_a etc._n etc._n then_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n the_o treason_n declare_v 2d_o ed._n 3._o be_v declare_v by_o the_o king_n commission_n and_o the_o treason_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n which_o concern_v council_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v declare_v and_o there_o be_v a_o passage_n in_o glanvil_n call_v seductio_fw-la domini_fw-la regis_fw-la that_o be_v deceive_v the_o king_n to_o what_o be_v pernicious_a to_o he_o and_o his_o people_n now_o

who_o give_v the_o king_n advice_n which_o at_o once_o must_v make_v his_o people_n see_v he_o have_v break_v all_o his_o faith_n to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o be_v not_o the_o counce_n of_o govern_v by_o a_o army_n such_o all_o the_o law_n break_v to_o keep_v which_o the_o king_n have_v swear_v and_o this_o the_o king_n put_v upon_o though_o not_o incline_v to_o i_o assert_v not_o this_o upon_o the_o earl_n of_o clarendon_n but_o upon_o the_o article_n who_o do_v this_o counsel_n the_o high_a treason_n against_o the_o common-law_n because_o other_o be_v so_o but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v pretend_v to_o give_v council_n wherein_o many_o shall_v have_v no_o benefit_n by_o the_o law_n he_o break_v all_o part_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v this_o council_n be_v treason_n at_o
