A
Land-Mark
for
all
true
English
Loyal
Subjects
,
Or
an
English
mans
Guide
to
divert
him
in
these
dark
times
out
of
Treasonable
Ways
.
IN
regard
by
the
Devilish
Craft
of
the
Jesuitical
Party
they
have
and
can
at
their
pleasure
,
with
well-hired
and
instructed
Evidence
make
what
they
please
Treason
,
or
at
least
by
their
Glosses
put
upon
Facts
,
cast
such
a
Mist
before
Mens
Eyes
and
understandings
,
that
it
shall
seem
to
be
so
,
when
it
's
nothing
less
.
Therefore
it
's
more
then
high
time
to
undeceive
all
true
and
loyal
Protestants
by
giving
them
a
true
Epitomy
of
Treason
,
which
they
may
with
cheapness
purchase
,
without
trouble
carry
about
them
,
readily
understand
,
and
easily
remember
;
so
as
it
may
be
useful
to
them
upon
all
occasions
relating
to
that
Subject
:
and
to
that
end
,
was
this
following
Epitomy
or
Abstract
made
and
taken
out
of
Authentique
Authors
,
and
of
the
Laws
now
in
force
,
which
declare
what
High-Treason
is
.
In
that
excellent
Book
,
Stiled
The
Pleas
of
the
Crown
,
Licensed
in
November
1677.
by
the
late
Lord-Chief-Justice
,
Sir
Richard
Rainsford
,
but
written
by
that
Steady
,
Judicious
and
Learned
Lord-Chief-Justice
,
Sir
Matthew
Hale
,
under
the
Title
of
High-Treason
;
He
saith
it
's
distinguished
into
four
kinds
as
,
-
1.
That
which
concerns
the
King
,
his
Wife
,
or
Children
.
-
2.
That
which
concerns
his
Office
in
the
Administration
of
Justice
.
-
3.
That
which
concerns
his
Seal
.
and
,
-
4.
That
which
concerns
his
Coyn
.
Of
which
the
first
is
that
only
concerned
to
be
spoken
to
.
in
Reference
to
the
Subject
matter
hereby
intended
to
be
Treated
on
,
and
as
to
that
,
the
most
pertinent
Matters
that
Author
further
mentions
,
in
Relation
,
or
applicable
hereunto
are
,
That
the
Compassing
and
imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
,
Queen
,
or
Prince
,
and
declaring
the
same
by
some
open
Deed
,
is
High-Treason
.
Declaring
by
an
open
Act
,
a
Design
to
Depose
or
imprison
the
King
is
an
Overt
Act
,
to
manifest
the
compassing
of
his
Death
;
grounded
upon
the
Opinion
of
that
famous
Author
,
sometime
Lord-Chief-Justice
Coke
in
his
3d
Institutes
,
p.
6.
12.
and
38.
The
Queen
must
be
the
Kings
Wife
,
not
Queen
Dowager
,
(
and
the
Fact
not
by
way
of
Legal
Charge
against
her
)
the
Prince
must
be
he
that
is
actually
so
,
and
not
the
Collateral
Heir
,
as
was
adjudged
in
the
Cases
of
Roger
Mortimer
,
11.
Rich
.
2.
and
the
Duke
of
York

H.

An
Overt
Act
must
be
alledged
in
every
Indictment
for
Treason
,
and
proved
as
in
the
same
Institutes
and
the
same
12
page
.
Compassing
by
bare
words
was
not
an
Overt
Act
,
but
set
down
in
writing
was

as
appears
by
the
Statutes

and

cap

but
how
far
it
is
now
will
more
fully
appear
to
the
judicious
Reader
by
the
following
Abstract
of
the
Statute
of
the
13
of
his
now
Majesty
,
c
.
1.
Conspiring
the
Death
of
the
King
and
providing
Weapons
to
effect
it
,
or
sending
Letters
to
second
it
;
Assembling
People
to
take
the
King
into
their
power
,
writing
Letters
to
a
Forraign
King
to
invade
,
are
Overt
Acts
,
but
to
conspire
to
levy
War
is
no
Overt
Act
,
unless
levied
as
in
the
same
Institutes
pag
.
14.
Nor
is
it
Treason
unless
a
War
de
facto
,
as
in
the
following
Abstract
of
the
same
Stature
of
the
13th
of
his
now
Majesty
cap
.

fully
appears
.
And
those
the
said
Author
of
the
said
Book
called
The
Pleas
of
the
Crown
,
saith
in
Fol.
16.
It
must
be
made
appear
by
manifest
proof
,
and
not
by
Conjectures
,
and
saith
,
that
these
were
Treasons
by
25.
Ed.
3.
and
that
all
other
Acts
of
Parliament
that
declared
any
Fact
to
the
Treason
,
between
that
and
1.
Ma.
were
abbrogated
and
reduced
to
the
Standard
of
the
said
25.
Ed.

But
since
that
,
as
the
same
Author
saith
,
divers
other
Acts
of
Parliament
have
been
made
,
by
which
several
other
Facts
are
made
High-Treason
,
as
the
refusing
the
Oath
of
Supremacy
upon
a
second
Tender
,
This
is
Treason
,
but
without
Corruption
of
Bloud

made
by

The
extolling

Power
of

Bishop

or
reconciling
themselves
or
others
to
the
See
of
Rome
(
that
is
for
a
Protestant
to

Papist
)
is
made
Treason
by
the
said
5
El.
ca.
1.
The
bringing
in
Agnus
Dei's
is
a
Premunire
;
But
the
absolving
the
Kings
Subjects
from
Obedience
to
him
,
or
reconciling
them
to
the
Obedience
of
Rome
is
made
Treason

These
last
3
Paragraphs
,
are
abstracted
out
of
several
Provisoes

contained
in
that
Act

but
as
to
the
second
of
them
Opinions
are
various
,
That
is
to
say
,
Whether
the
times
extends
to
Offences
made
Treason
as
well
as
others
?
which
cannot
satisfactorily
be
determined
,
but
must
be
left
to
every
judicious
Reader
to
give
it
his
own
Construction
for
the

there
