the_o judge_n in_o beverley_n case_n sir_n robert_n holbourn_n in_o his_o read_n upon_o the_o statute_n of_o 25_o e._n 3._o c._n 2._o de_fw-fr proditionibus_fw-la 18._o read_v print_v anno_fw-la

this_o mean_v we_o shall_v find_v out_o the_o law_n and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o law_n without_o special_a word_n will_v not_o bind_v a_o infant_n or_o a_o madman_n as_o to_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o body_n but_o yet_o it_o will_v extend_v to_o their_o land_n and_o estate_n but_o this_o our_o law_n be_v no_o new_a law_n but_o only_o a_o declarative_a law_n and_o in_o that_o case_n general_a word_n will_v bind_v a_o infant_n or_o a_o madman_n without_o any_o special_a word_n that_o it_o be_v treason_n at_o the_o common_a law_n be_v apparent_a b._n
