against_o the_o king_n and_o supreme_a authority_n and_o that_o they_o have_v prevail_v so_o far_o as_o to_o murder_v one_o king_n and_o banish_v another_o and_o have_v go_v a_o great_a way_n in_o

that_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v compass_n imagine_v or_o intend_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n or_o his_o destruction_n or_o any_o bodily_a harm_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o his_o death_n or_o

any_o bodily_a hurt_n or_o any_o crime_n of_o that_o nature_n this_o be_v treason_n within_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n look_v you_o gentleman_n now_o as_o to_o the_o indictment_n that_o shall_v
