CHAP. 23.

Of pettie Treason, properly so called.

ANd of bare Felonies so much shall suffice. Pettie Treason is a Fe∣lonie, (e) 1.1 For where one is arraig∣ned for falsifying the Kings seale, (which is a pettie Treason) a Char∣ter of pardon of all Felonies is a good plea. * 1.2 of higher nature than bare Felonie is; the punishment whereof is burning.

This is against mortall creatures, or a∣gainst God.

Against mortall creatures, as Petty-treason * 1.3 (properly so called) and Sodomi∣trie. Pettie treason (properly so called) is the killing of any to whom priuate obedi∣ence * 1.4 is due: as ones master, mistresse, hus∣band, &c. for which in stead of burning, * 1.5 (which the woman here shall bee) a man * 1.6 shall be hanged and drawne. * 1.7
