that_o the_o politic_a can_v not_o be_v within_o the_o statute_n for_o in_o that_o sense_n he_o never_o die_v so_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o fault_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n who_o never_o die_v that_o then_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o natural_a sense_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v either_o by_o sword_n pistol_n or_o other_o violent_a way_n so_o that_o if_o

that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o pretence_n that_o he_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o kill_v the_o king_n direct_o so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v by_o inference_n because_o it_o be_v treason_n
