one_o will_v suppose_v that_o god_n have_v make_v man_n not_o after_o his_o own_o image_n but_o rather_o that_o of_o a_o ass_n or_o something_o else_o that_o be_v beneath_o a_o rational_a creature_n

in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n have_v say_v this_o i_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o particular_n of_o your_o enquiry_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v high_a treason_n of_o which_o

for_o this_o statute_n be_v make_v to_o take_v away_o constructive_a treason_n and_o thereby_o relieve_v the_o subject_n against_o a_o unspeakable_a evil_n under_o which_o they_o have_v labour_v for_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o treason_n and_o upon_o that_o ground_n chief_o they_o pass_v the_o bill_n to_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 25_o edw._n 3._o and_o very_o good_a

so_o for_o these_o and_o every_o of_o they_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n against_o the_o public_a for_o money_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o sinew_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o impair_v or_o counterfeit_v it_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o public_a so_o that_o the_o offence_n in_o so_o do_v be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o king_n image_n for_o the_o french_a

interest_n the_o public_a have_v in_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n if_o the_o money_n have_v any_o other_o stamp_n or_o size_n put_v upon_o it_o by_o public_a authority_n to_o kill_v the_o chancellor_n treasurer_n or_o the_o king_n justice_n be_v in_o their_o place_n do_v their_o office_n be_v high_a treason_n by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o it_o be_v very_o great_a reason_n that_o they_o who_o serve_v the_o public_a in_o such_o eminent_a station_n shall_v have_v the_o public_a protection_n for_o when_o they_o faithful_o and_o honest_o discharge_v their_o several_a trust_n the_o

by_o 1_o m._n 6._o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v so_o by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o to_o counterfeit_n the_o privy-seal_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o offence_n in_o these_o case_n be_v make_v so_o capital_a be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a detriment_n they_o bring_v upon_o the_o public_a to_o extol_v a_o foreign_a power_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 1_o eliz._n and_o very_o fit_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o every_o man_n will_v allow_v it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n to_o set_v up_o any_o other_o power_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o public_a authority_n for_o a_o priest_n or_o a_o jesuit_n to_o come_v and_o abide_v within_o this_o realm_n be_v high-treason_n by_o 27_o eliz._n i_o believe_v a_o great_a many_o people_n have_v be_v under_o a_o very_a great_a mistake_n in_o this_o matter_n suppose_v it_o be_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n be_v put_v to_o death_n whereas_o it_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o for_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o politic_a account_n that_o they_o suffer_v it_o be_v for_o a_o offence_n against_o the_o government_n that_o they_o be_v execute_v for_o it_o have_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o this_o sort_n of_o vermin_n by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n sow_v the_o seed_n of_o division_n and_o thereby_o wrought_v great_a disturbance_n in_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v therefore_o think_v fit_a by_o the_o parliament_n to_o take_v this_o way_n as_o the_o most_o effectual_a to_o keep_v they_o out_o for_o as_o what_o they_o do_v amount_v to_o nothing_o less_o than_o treason_n so_o it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a that_o the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o offence_n and_o since_o it_o be_v become_v a_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n if_o this_o sort_n of_o people_n will_v be_v so_o
