Treason.

Conspiracie gainst the person of a Prince, Is treason gainst the deitie of heauen. Th. Achellye.

—Treason is but trusted like the Foxe, Who nere so tamde, so cherisht, and lockt vp, Will haue a wilde tricke of his auncetors. W. Sh.

No vertue merits prayse once toucht with blot of treason. S. Ph. Sydney.

VVho fayleth one is false, though trusty to another▪ Idem.

There is no treason woundeth halfe so deepe, As that which doth in Princes bosome sleepe. M. Drayton.

VVho that resisteth his dread soueraigne Lord, Doth damne his soule by Gods owne verie word, A Christian subiect should with honour due, Obey his soueraigne though he were a Iew, VVhereby assured when subiects do rebell, Gods wrath is kindled, threatning fire and hell. M. of M.

Was neuer rebell before the world and since, That could or should preuaile against his Prince. Idem.

Reuolted subiects of themselues will quaile. I. Syluester.
