I omitted to say that this particular bit of unpleasantness was merely(!)
the closing stages in a much longer legal process. Coke's 'Institutiones'
part 3 expands on the logic.

There was a line of logic which ran through it all,with this being just a
part of it. The object of this bit was that it should be 'notable' (C.16
quote). In England it was specifically for High Treason, however it should
suit those in the ascendancy to interpret 'High Treason'. The object of the
exercise was the utter destruction of a person from rank (stripped by
attainder), reputation, family (disinherited), property (forfeit), life,
and body ('to do with as the king chooses').
