Hobbes
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
PHILOSOPHER
Now to come to particulars, what punishment is due by law for high-treason?
LAWYER
To be drawn upon a hurdle from the prison to the gallows, and there to be hanged by the neck, and laid upon the ground alive, and have his bowels taken out and burnt whilst he is yet living; to have his head cut off, his body to be divided into four parts, and his head and quarters to be placed as the King shall assign.
-- Thomas Hobbes, “A Dialogue of the Common Law”
