it_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o monition_n to_o offender_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o enormous_a crime_n upon_o presumption_n that_o they_o be_v not_o treason_n within_o that_o act._n for_o in_o the_o preamble_n it_o be_v say_v because_o many_o other_o like_o case_n of_o treason_n which_o in_o sence-are_a case_n like_o treason_n declare_v in_o that_o act_n may_v
