Edward Forset (or Forsett) (1553–1630) was an English writer, known for political works and as a playwright. A justice of the peace, he was involved on the prosecution side of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot.〔(): Forset was a witness to the statement taken from Guy Fawkes under torture; the others being Sir Edward Coke and Sir William Waad.〕〔(): Report in state papers of James I mentioning him (March 1606).〕 In ''A Comparative Discourse'' (1606) he contributed to the traditional monarchist theory of the king's two bodies: the body politic and the body natural. This is considered one important source for later divine right and royalist ideas, as well as spinning out the bodily metaphor (the King as the heart). The 1624 ''Defence of the Right of Kings'' was a belated reply to writings of the Jesuit Robert Parsons. His ''Pedantius'' was a Latin comedy. It made fun of Gabriel Harvey.〔(): the play was set in Cambridge.〕 ==Works== *''Pedantius (1581)'' ((online text )) *''A Comparative Discourse of the Bodies Natural and Politique'' (1606) *''A Defence of the Right of Kings.
