Strana 261 - Every insurrection, lawyers alleged, which in judgment of law is intended against the person of the King, be it to dethrone or imprison him, or to oblige him to alter his measures of government, or to remove 'evil counsellors from about him, these risings all amount to levying war within the statute, whether attended with the pomp and circumstances of open war or •not.
