the_o law_n three_o it_o be_v very_o considerable_a that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n be_v not_o charge_v to_o have_v subvert_v but_o only_o to_o have_v intend_v to_o subvert_v the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o may_v keep_v he_o free_a from_o that_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o for_o although_o as_o touch_v the_o

a_o man_n do_v intend_v to_o kill_v a_o chancellor_n it_o shall_v be_v treason_n but_o only_o if_o he_o do_v kill_v he_o and_o if_o he_o do_v actual_o counterfeit_v the_o broad_a seal_n and_o although_o a_o man_n shall_v prepare_v a_o furnace_n make_v ready_a his_o stamp_n melt_v his_o bullion_n yet_o if_o he_o give_v not_o the_o king_n impression_n upon_o the_o coin_n all_o his_o intention_n yea_o his_o preparation_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o make_v up_o a_o treason_n and_o this_o under_o favour_n may_v serve_v to_o answer_v the_o case_n of_o guido_n faux_n late_o object_v unless_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n have_v as_o real_a a_o intention_n against_o the_o king_n life_n as_o faux_n have_v for_o though_o the_o intention_n in_o that_o case_n be_v treason_n by_o the_o statute_n yet_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v no_o treason_n without_o the_o action_n so_o immense_a and_o vast_a a_o difference_n both_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v betwixt_o a_o project_n against_o the_o royal_a blood_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o of_o a_o low_a and_o under_o nature_n you_o see_v therefore_o my_o lord_n that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o statute_n can_v stick_v against_o the_o lord_n strafford_n neither_o in_o letter_n nor_o in_o consequence_n this_o be_v not_o that_o must_v not_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v be_v that_o his_o fact_n

it_o may_v be_v presuppose_v that_o there_o be_v a_o statute_n whereupon_o to_o build_v a_o declaration_n and_o therefore_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o statute_n for_o it_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v no_o treason_n at_o all_o the_o statute_n ever_o make_v the_o treason_n and_o to_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v treason_n either_o by_o common_a law_n or_o by_o parliament_n be_v but_o two_o different_a way_n of_o proceed_n and_o must_v both_o resolve_v into_o one_o principle_n yea_o which_o come_v home_o to_o the_o point_n in_o the_o one_o and_o twenty_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o to_o kill_v a_o man_n employ_v in_o the_o king_n war_n be_v treason_n and_o the_o twenty_o three_o to_o kill_v the_o king_n messenger_n be_v treason_n by_o declaration_n of_o the_o common_a law_n but_o always_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o statute_n yet_o none_o of_o these_o be_v now_o treason_n but_o felony_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o intervening_a statute_n the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o such_o have_v ever_o be_v think_v the_o force_n of_o its_o letter_n and_o declaration_n and_o so_o i_o will_v leave_v it_o and_o speak_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o salvo_n which_o be_v this_o that_o because_o all_o particular_n can_v not_o be_v then_o define_v therefore_o what_o the_o parliament_n shall_v declare_v to_o be_v treasonable_a in_o time_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v punish_v as_o a_o treason_n and_o according_a to_o this_o reservation_n in_o the_o eight_o year_n of_o richard_n the_o second_o one_o who_o be_v charge_v before_o the_o king_n bench_n be_v afterward_o refer_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o there_o though_o the_o fact_n be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o statute_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o proviso_n aforementioned_a it_o be_v adjudge_v treason_n in_o the_o eleven_o year_n of_o the_o same_o king_n the_o duke_n of_o ireland_n and_o nevil_n archbishop_n of_o york_n be_v impeach_v of_o high-treason_n by_o glo●cester_n arundel_n and_o warwick_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o statute_n be_v convict_v thereof_o by_o the_o salvo_n but_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twenty_o of_o the_o same_o richard_n the_o second_o the_o tid●-turned_n and_o the_o king_n have_v such_o a_o hand_n with_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o sentence_n be_v recall_v and_o those_o three_o nobleman_n themselves_o adjudge_v traitor_n again_o in_o the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o his_o successor_n that_o revocation_n of_o the_o one_o and_o twenty_o of_o richard_n the_o second_o be_v repeal_v and_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o eleven_o of_o his_o reign_n establish_v such_o be_v the_o toss_n too_o and_o fro_o of_o treason_n and_o all_o because_o of_o that_o uncertain_a proviso_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o same_o parliament_n the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o a_o petition_n be_v prefer_v by_o the_o nobility_n to_o have_v treason_n limit_v with_o some_o statute_n because_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o speak_v or_o what_o to_o

nothing_o esteem_v treason_n but_o what_o be_v literal_o contain_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o record_n that_o there_o be_v great_a joy_n at_o the_o make_n of_o this_o act_n in_o that_o the_o draw_v sword_n hang_v over_o every_o man_n head_n by_o this_o slender_a thread_n of_o a_o consequence_n or_o

in_o life_n or_o estate_n as_o a_o traitor_n but_o for_o the_o crime_n contain_v in_o the_o statute_n 25_o ed._n 3._o without_o the_o least_o mention_n of_o a_o pretend_a salvo_n the_o earl_n of_o northumberland_n case_n come_v nigh_o to_o the_o point_n he_o be_v charge_v with_o treason_n the_o five_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o and_o if_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o the_o first_o chapter_n whereby_o this_o proviso_n be_v repeal_v have_v not_o intervene_v no_o doubt_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v of_o treason_n but_o he_o be_v only_o convict_v of_o felony_n and_o that_o because_o he_o can_v not_o be_v draw_v within_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o and_o i_o dare_v confident_o say_v it_o that_o since_o that_o act_n be_v make_v the_o first_o of_o henry_n the_o four_o the_o first_o chapter_n whereby_o the_o proviso_n be_v repeal_v no_o man_n have_v ever_o be_v declare_v a_o traitor_n either_o by_o king_n or_o parliament_n except_o it_o be_v upon_o that_o or_o some_o other_o statute_n literal_o and_o declarative_o take_v these_o two_o thing_n i_o do_v offer_n to_o your_o lordship_n consideration_n that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n can_v be_v impeach_v of_o treason_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o twenty_o five_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o and_o that_o the_o salvo_n contain_v in_o the_o same_o stand_v repeal_v almost_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o this_o be_v all_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v necessary_a for_o that_o statute_n which_o be_v allege_v by_o the_o lord_n strafford_n in_o his_o defence_n for_o matter_n of_o fact_n then_o the_o recorder_n speak_v some_o few_o word_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o what_o be_v speak_v upon_o the_o statute_n recorder_n be_v because_o it_o seem_v inseparable_a from_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o they_o can_v proceed_v no_o far_o till_o a_o state_n be_v afford_v they_o that_o to_o do_v otherwise_o they_o conceive_v may_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a unto_o my_o lord_n strafford_n first_o in_o that_o they_o shall_v suppose_v that_o to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v not_o prove_v to_o be_v second_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o law_n arise_v so_o natural_o from_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o three_o that_o it_o be_v the_o course_n of_o all_o judicatories_n first_o to_o settle_v the_o verdict_n and_o upon_o that_o to_o fix_v the_o argument_n otherwise_o he_o can_v conceive_v no_o possible_a way_n of_o proceed_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o lord_n strafford_n name_n he_o most_o humble_o entreat_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v either_o whole_o determine_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n or_o whether_o treason_n or_o not_o for_o then_o all_o
