GEN: EXEMPTIONS ACCIDENT 7
No such distinction occurs in <gap/ the alt code of Edw. 1st, commonly known by <add>the
title of Britton † † Wing. Ed. §.44
Written if we may believe
J Prysot Qu — in the <add>his 5th
year — v. Y. Book Hils
35 Hen. 6th pl. 2. p.42.
a book much superior to any at
the rest in point of order "A man (we find in the Chapter of Homicides) may say, by way of Plea" (amongst other things <add>pleas) that he
killed the person by misadventure without felony propense, which case being proven>lb/> we will that he be acquitted.
In the Book with the Mirror of Justice written a few years afterwards # <note># But it appears plainly from
internal evidence the body of it to have
been written some time
after 13 Edw. 1st — Statute
a <sic.Stat.</sic> of that date concerning
Rape, not in the part of
a note which by the
of transcribers might have
crept into the context, but

& like the King speaking in
his own person which is
perceived throughout.The Mirror It's date is determined by of Justice

of fornication <add>which we know was never punished with death [except durin in the Civil Wars] in the same terms with that of Murder & high Treason. ||
