The word 'maliciously' was added in several cases to require [[mens rea|evil intent]], and the act meant that it was very dangerous to say anything against what the King had done. The act also made it treason to rebelliously keep or withhold from the King his castles, forts, ships, or artillery, and to fail to surrender any of them within six days of being commanded to do so. It also abolished [[sanctuary]] for those accused of high treason. |
