execution_n for_o they_o must_v intend_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a to_o we_o thereby_o and_o which_o be_v most_o likely_a i_o leave_v to_o every_o man_n to_o judge_v i_o mention_v these_o thing_n not_o that_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o any_o or_o all_o of_o they_o put_v together_o without_o some_o other_o direct_a proof_n be_v evidence_n sufficient_a to_o convict_v a_o man_n upon_o a_o trial_n for_o god_n forbid_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v condemn_v but_o upon_o a_o fair_a trial_n and_o clear_a evidence_n but_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o they_o do_v render_v person_n just_o suspect_v to_o be_v privy_a to_o or_o approve_v of_o the_o late_a design_n against_o this_o nation_n which_o as_o every_o honest_a man_n ought_v to_o abhor_v so_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o keep_v a_o watchful_a eye_n over_o they_o because_o i_o be_o far_o from_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o they_o have_v give_v this_o design_n over_o as_o a_o lose_a game_n by_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v lay_v so_o broad_a and_o deep_a and_o so_o many_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o that_o the_o success_n of_o it_o be_v of_o the_o last_o consequence_n to_o they_o their_o only_a safety_n be_v place_v in_o it_o and_o beside_o because_o of_o the_o encouragement_n they_o do_v receive_v from_o the_o unfortunate_a division_n that_o be_v among_o we_o and_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o thing_n which_o i_o apprehend_v be_v no_o small_a cause_n of_o encouragement_n to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o little_a haste_n make_v by_o the_o government_n to_o call_v they_o to_o account_v of_o all_o the_o ill_n of_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n in_o my_o opinion_n nothing_o be_v so_o treacherous_a and_o devilish_a as_o that_o of_o make_v party_n among_o we_o that_o we_o may_v become_v our_o own_o dostroyer_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a method_n to_o effect_v our_o destruction_n so_o if_o any_o thing_n shall_v interpose_v to_o prevent_v our_o ruin_n yet_o nothing_o be_v more_o difficult_a than_o to_o make_v up_o such_o a_o breach_n and_o therefore_o the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v hope_v for_o from_o it_o be_v to_o entail_v upon_o this_o nation_n heartburning_n and_o all_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o it_o i_o have_v the_o charity_n to_o hope_v that_o many_o who_o help_v to_o carry_v on_o that_o ruinous_a design_n do_v it_o more_o out_o of_o ignorance_n than_o out_o of_o any_o ill_a intention_n i_o believe_v the_o arbitrary_a sermon_n be_v deliver_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n may_v draw_v in_o a_o great_a many_o unwary_a people_n other_o may_v comply_v out_o of_o hope_n of_o preferment_n or_o fear_v of_o be_v harrass_v by_o some_o powerful_a neighbour_n but_o as_o new_a light_n be_v spring_v up_o so_o i_o wish_v from_o my_o heart_n that_o man_n will_v walk_v according_o if_o any_o man_n be_v mislead_v in_o the_o late_a time_n it_o be_v not_o his_o shame_n but_o duty_n as_o a_o wise_a and_o honest_a man_n to_o repent_v of_o his_o error_n and_o forsake_v it_o for_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v convince_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o will_v persist_v in_o it_o will_v find_v very_o few_o to_o who_o his_o obstinacy_n will_v recommend_v he_o if_o any_o do_v think_v they_o be_v in_o the_o right_n when_o they_o serve_v as_o bawd_n to_o the_o arbitrary_a lust_n of_o the_o two_o late_a king_n i_o hearty_o pity_v they_o for_o their_o case_n be_v desperate_a yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o none_o of_o they_o will_v of_o choice_n have_v have_v such_o a_o power_n exercise_v upon_o themselves_o and_o if_o so_o they_o must_v grant_v that_o what_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v to_o themselves_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v or_o bring_v upon_o other_o if_o they_o adhere_v to_o what_o they_o do_v either_o out_o of_o hope_n of_o preferment_n or_o fear_v of_o be_v crush_v by_o those_o in_o power_n they_o must_v believe_v that_o this_o king_n and_o queen_n be_v resolve_v to_o go_v by_o the_o fame_n method_n that_o be_v take_v in_o the_o two_o late_o reign_v or_o else_o that_o nothing_o else_o will_v make_v this_o king_n and_o queen_n safe_a and_o glorious_a be_v the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n of_o this_o opinion_n this_o world_n will_v be_v a_o miserable_a place_n sure_o mankind_n be_v bear_v for_o some_o noble_a end_n than_o so_o or_o else_o 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 for_o be_v it_o not_o ridiculous_a that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v more_o excellent_a and_o know_v than_o that_o which_o be_v to_o govern_v it_o be_v a_o insatiable_a desire_n of_o power_n preferable_a to_o that_o reason_n with_o which_o man_n be_v endue_v at_o his_o creation_n must_v a_o man_n give_v up_o that_o to_o which_o he_o have_v a_o clear_a right_a both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o his_o country_n because_o another_o who_o be_v at_o that_o time_n guide_v by_o his_o passion_n desire_v to_o lay_v hold_n of_o it_o what_o justice_n can_v any_o man_n promise_n to_o himself_o when_o passion_n be_v above_o the_o law_n what_o signify_v law_n if_o

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 there_o be_v several_a sort_n and_o species_n both_o at_o common-law_n and_o by_o statute-law_n but_o those_o only_a that_o be_v make_v such_o by_o some_o statute_n be_v those_o that_o fall_v within_o your_o enquiry_n to_o compass_v or_o imagine_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n or_o queen_n and_o that_o declare_v by_o some_o overt_a and_o plain_a act_n be_v high-treason_n by_o the_o 25_o edw._n iii_o but_o such_o act_n must_v be_v direct_a and_o clear_a void_a of_o all_o implication_n or_o other_o construction_n or_o else_o it_o will_v not_o make_v it_o treason_n within_o this_o statute_n 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 many_o year_n for_o till_o then_o the_o judge_n take_v a_o extravagant_a liberty_n in_o stamp_v treason_n upon_o almost_o any_o offence_n that_o come_v before_o they_o which_o cost_v many_o a_o innocent_a man_n his_o life_n contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n and_o justice_n so_o that_o this_o statute_n be_v a_o very_a beneficial_a law_n for_o the_o subject_a to_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n or_o queen_n in_o their_o realm_n or_o to_o adhere_v to_o their_o enemy_n in_o the_o realm_n or_o to_o give_v they_o comfort_v here_o or_o elsewhere_o be_v high-treason_n by_o the_o same_o statute_n but_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n be_v not_o treason_n unless_o the_o war_n be_v actual_o levy_v though_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n prevail_v in_o the_o late_a time_n whereby_o several_a worthy_a man_n be_v murder_v it_o be_v a_o very_a

of_o the_o king_n for_o my_o lord_n coke_n be_v express_v in_o it_o that_o unless_o the_o war_n be_v actual_o levy_v it_o be_v not_o treason_n and_o i_o remember_v in_o the_o debate_n in_o the_o
