EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

By
all
which
it
appeareth

that

doth
,
for
the
said
Treasons
and
Crimes
,
on
the
behalf
of
the
said
People
of
England
,
Impeach
the
said
CHARLS
STUART
,
as
a
Tyrant
,
Traytor
,
Murtherer
,
and
a
publike
,
and
Implacable
Enemy

of
England
:
And
pray
,
That

said
CHARLS

All
and
Every
the
Premises

,
Examinations
,
Tryals
,
Sentence
,
and
Judgment
may
be
thereupon
had
,
or
shall
be
agreeable
to
Justice
.
IT
is
observed
,
that
the
time
the
Charge
was
reading
,
the
King
sate
down
in
his
Chair
,
looking
sometimes
on
the
Court
,
sometimes
up
to
the
Galleries
;
and
having
risen
again
,
and
turned
about
to
behold
the
Guards
and
Spectators
,
sate
down
,
looking
very
sternly
,
with
a
countenance
not
at
all
moved
,
till
these
words
,
viz.
Charls
Stuart
(
to
be
a
Tyrant
and
Traytor
,
&c.
)
were
read
,
at
which
he
laughed
as
he
sate
in
the
face
of
the
Court.
The
Charge
being
read
the
Lord
President
replyed
:
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
now
heard
your
Charge
read
,
containing
such
matter
as
appears
in
it
;
you
finde
,
That
in
the
close
of
it
,
it
is
prayed
to
the
Court
,
in
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
that
you
answer
to
your
Charge
.
The
Court
expects
your
Answer
.
The
King.
I
would
know
by
what
power
I
am
called
hither
:
I
was
,
not
long
ago
,
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
how
I
came
there
,
is
a
longer
story
then
I
think
is
fit
at
this
time
for
me
to
speak
of
;
but
there
I
entred
into
a
Treaty
with
both
Houses
of
Parliament
with
as
much
publique
faith
as
it
's
possible
to
be
had
of
any
people
in
the
world
.
I
treated
there
with
a
number
of
Honorable
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
and
treated
honestly
and
uprightly
;
I
cannot
say
but
they
did
very
nobly
with
me
,
we
were
upon
a
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
.
Now
I
would
know
by
what
Authority
,
I
mean
,
lawful
;
there
are
many
unlawful
Authorities
in
the
world
,
Theeves
and
Robbers
by
the
high-ways
:
but
I
would
know
by
what
Authority
I
was
brought
from
thence
,
and
carryed
from
place
to
place
,
(
and
I
know
not
what
,
)
and
when
I
know
what
lawful
Authority
,
I
shall
answer
:
Remember
I
am
your
King
,
your
lawful
King
,
and
what
sins
you
bring
upon
your
heads
,
and
the
Judgment
of
God
upon
this
Land
,
think
well
upon
it
,
I
say
,
think
well
upon
it
,
before
you
go
further
from
one
sin
to
a
greater
;
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
lawful
Authority
I
am
seated
here
,
and
I
shall
not
be
unwilling
to
answer
,
in
the
mean
time
I
shall
not
betray
my
Trust
:
I
have
a
Trust
committed
to
me
by
God
,
by
old
and
lawful
descent
,
I
will
not
betray
it
to
answer
to
a
new
unlawful
Authority
,
therefore
resolve
me
that
,
and
you
shall
hear
more
of
me
.
Lord
President
.
If
you
had
been
pleased
to
have
observed
what
was
hinted
to
you
,
by
the
Court
,
at
your
first
coming
hither
,
you
would
have
known
by
what
Authority
;
which
Authority
requires
you
,
in
the
name
of
the
People
of
England
,
of
which
you
are
Elected
King
,
to
answer
them
.
The
King.
No
Sir
,
I
deny
that
.
Lord
President
.
If
you
acknowledg
not
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
they
must
proceed
.
The
King.
I
do
tell
them
so
,
England
was
never
an
Elective
Kingdom
,
but
an
Hereditary
Kingdom
for
neer
these
thousand
years
;
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
Authority
I
am
called
hither
:
I
do
stand
more
for
the
Liberty
of
my
People
then
any
here
that
come
to
be
my
pretended
Judges
;
and
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
lawful
Authority
I
am
seated
here
,
and
I
will
answer
it
,
otherwise
I
will
not
answer
it
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
how
really
you
have
managed
your
Trust
,
is
known
;
your
way
of
answer
is
to
interrogate
the
Court
,
which
beseems
not
you
in
this
condition
.
You
have
been
told
of
it
twice
or
thrice
.
The
King.
Here
is
a
Gentleman
,
Lievt
.
Col.
Cobbet
,
(
ask
him
)
if
he
did
not
bring
me
from
the
Isle
of
Wight
by
force
?
I
do
not
come
here
as
submitting
to
the
Court
;
I
wil
stand
as
much
for
the
priviledg
of
the
house
of
Cōmons
,
rightly
understood
,
as
any
man
here
whatsoever
.
I
see
no
House
of
Lords
here
that
may
constitute
a
Parliament
,
and
(
the
King
too
)
should
have
been
.
Is
this
the
bringing
of
the
King
to
his
Parliament
?
Is
this
the
bringing
an
end
to
the
Treaty
in
the
publike
Faith
of
the
world
?
Let
me
see
a
legal
Authority
warranted
by
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Scriptures
,
or
warranted
by
the
Constitutions
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
I
will
answer
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
have
propounded
a
Question
,
and
have
been
answered
:
seeing
you
will
not
answer
,
the
Court
will
consider
how
to
proceed
;
in
the
mean
time
,
those
that
brought
you
hither
,
are
to
take
charge
of
you
back
again
.
The
Court
desires
to
know
whether
this
be
all
the
Answer
you
will
give
,
or
no.
The
King.
Sir
,
I
desire
that
you
would
give
me
,
and
all
the
world
,
satisfaction
in
this
;
let
me
tell
you
,
it
is
not
a
slight
thing
you
are
about
.
I
am
sworn
to
keep
the
Peace
by
that
duty
I
ow
to
God
and
my
Country
,
and
I
will
do
it
to
the
last
breath
of
my
body
,
and
therefore
you
shall
do
well
to
satisfie
first
God
,
and
then
the
Country
,
by
what
Authority
you
do
it
,
if
you
do
it
by
a
usurped
Authority
,
that
will
not
last
long
.
There
is
a
God
in
Heaven
that
will
call
you
,
and
all
that
give
you
Power
,
to
account
:
Satisfie
me
in
that
,
and
I
will
answer
,
otherwise
I
betray
my
Trust
,
and
the
Liberties
of
the
People
,
and
therefore
think
of
that
,
and
then
I
shall
be
willing
.
For
I
do
avow
,
That
it
is
as
great
a
sin
to
withstand
lawful
Authority
,
as
it
is
to
submit
to
a
Tyrannical
,
or
any
other
ways
unlawful
Authority
,
and
therefore
satisfie
God
,
and
me
,
and
all
the
world
in
that
,
and
you
shall
receive
my
Answer
:
I
am
not
afraid
of
the
Bill
.
Lord
President
.
The
Court
expects
you
should
give
them
a
final
Answer
,
their
purpose
is
to
adjourn
till
Monday
next
,
if
you
do
not
satisfie
your self
,
though
we
do
tell
you
our
Authority
;
we
are
satisfied
with
our
Authority
,
and
it
is
upon
Gods
Authority
and
the
Kingdoms
,
and
that
Peace
you
speak
of
will
be
kept
in
the
doing
of
Justice
,
and
that
's
our
present
Work.
The
King.
Let
me
tell
you
,
if
you
will
shew
me
what
lawful
Authority
you
have
,
I
shall
be
satisfied
;
But
that
you
have
said
satisfies
no
reasonable
man.
Lord
Presid
.
That
's
in
your
apprehension
:
we
think
it
reasonable
that
are
your
Judges
.
The
King.
'T
is
not
my
apprehension
,
nor
yours
neither
,
that
ought
to
decide
it
.
Lord
Presid
.
The
Court
hath
heard
you
,
and
you
are
to
be
disposed
of
as
they
have
commanded
.
Two
things
were
remarkable
in
this
days
Proceedings
.
1.
It
is
to
be
observed
,
That
as
the
Charge
was
reading
against
the
King
,
the
silver
head
of
his
staff
fell
off
,
the
which
he
wondred
at
,
and
seeing
none
to
take
it
up
,
he
stoops
for
it
himself
.
2.
That
as
the
King
was
going
away
,
he
looked
with
a
very
austere
countenance
upon
the
Court
,
with
stirring
of
his
Hat
replyed
,
Well
Sir
,
(
when
the
Lord
President
commanded
the
Guard
to
take
him
away
,
)
and
at
his
going
down
,
he
said
,
I
do
not
fear
that
,
(
pointing
with
his
Staff
at
the
Sword
)
.
The
people
in
the
Hall
,
as
he
went
down
the
stairs
,
cryed
out
,
some
,
God
save
the
King
,
and
some
for
Justice
.
O
Yes
being
called
,
the
Court
adjourned
till
Monday
next
,
January
22.
at
9.
in
the
morning
to
the
painted
Chamber
,
and
from
thence
to
the
same
place
again
in
Westminster
Hall.
At
the
high
Court
of
Justice
sitting
in
Westminster
Hall
,
Munday
,
January
22.
1648.
O
Yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Court
called
,
and
answered
to
their
names
.
Silence
commanded
upon
pain
of
imprisonment
,
and
the
Captain
of
the
Guard
to
apprehend
all
such
as
make
disturbance
.
Upon
the
Kings
coming
in
a
shout
was
made
.
Command
given
by
the
Court
to
the
Captain
of
the
Guard
to
fetch
and
take
into
his
custody
those
who
make
any
disturbance
.
Mr
Solicitor
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
my
Lord
President
,
I
did
at
the
last
Court
in
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
exhibit
and
give
into
this
Court
a
Charge
of
high
Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
,
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
whereof
I
do
accuse
him
in
the
name
of
the
People
of
England
,
and
the
Charge
was
read
unto
him
,
and
his
Answer
required
.
My
Lord
,
He
was
not
then
pleased
to
give
an
Answer
,
but
instead
of
answering
,
did
there
dispute
the
Authority
of
this
high
Court.
My
humble
Motion
to
this
high
Court
,
in
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
is
,
That
the
Prisoner
may
be
directed
to
make
a
positive
Answer
,
either
by
way
of
Confession
,
or
Negation
;
which
if
he
shall
refuse
to
do
,
That
the
matter
of
Charge
may
be
taken
pro
confesso
,
and
the
Court
may
proceed
according
to
justice
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
may
remember
at
the
last
Court
you
were
told
the
occasion
of
your
being
brought
hither
,
and
you
heard
a
Charge
against
you
,
containing
a
Charge
of
high
Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
,
against
this
Realm
of
England
;
you
heard
likewise
,
that
it
was
prayed
in
the
behalf
of
the
People
,
that
you
should
give
an
Answer
to
that
Charge
,
that
thereupon
such
proceedings
might
be
had
as
should
be
agreeable
to
justice
;
you
were
then
pleased
to
make
some
scruples
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
and
knew
not
by
what
Authority
you
were
brought
hither
;
you
did
divers
times
propound
your
Questions
,
and
were
as
often
answered
,
That
it
was
by
authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
assembled
in
Parliament
,
that
did
think
fit
to
call
you
to
account
for
those
high
and
capital
Misdemeanours
wherewith
you
were
then
charged
.
Since
that
the
Court
hath
taken
into
Consideration
what
you
then
said
,
they
are
fully
satisfied
with
their
own
authority
,
and
they
hold
it
fit
you
should
stand
satisfied
with
it
too
;
and
they
do
require
it
,
that
you
do
give
a
positive
and
particular
Answer
to
this
Charge
that
is
exhibited
against
you
,
they
do
expect
you
should
either
confess
or
deny
it
;
if
you
deny
,
it
is
offered
in
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
to
be
made
good
against
you
;
their
authority
they
do
avow
to
the
whole
world
,
that
the
whole
Kingdom
are
to
rest
satisfied
in
,
and
you
are
to
rest
satisfied
with
it
,
and
therefore
you
are
to
lose
no
more
time
,
but
to
give
a
positive
Answer
thereunto
.
The
KING
.
When
I
was
here
last
,
't
is
very
true
,
I
made
that
Question
,
and
truly
if
it
were
only
my
own
particular
case
,
I
would
have
satisfied
my self
with
the
Protestation
I
made
the
last
time
I
was
here
against
the
legality
of
this
Court
,
and
that
a
King
cannot
be
tryed
by
any
Superiour
Jurisdiction
on
Earth
;
but
it
is
not
my
case
alone
,
it
is
the
Freedom
and
the
Liberty
of
the
People
of
England
,
and
do
you
pretend
what
you
will
,
I
stand
more
for
their
Liberties
.
For
if
Power
without
Law
may
make
Laws
,
may
alter
the
fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
I
do
not
know
what
Subject
he
is
in
England
,
that
can
be
sure
of
his
life
,
or
any
thing
that
he
calls
his
own
;
therefore
when
that
I
came
here
,
I
did
expect
particular
Reasons
,
to
know
by
what
Law
,
what
Authority
you
did
proceed
against
me
here
,
and
therefore
I
am
a
little
to
seek
what
to
say
to
you
in
this
particular
,
because
the
Affirmative
is
to
be
proved
,
the
Negative
often
is
very
hard
to
do
:
but
since
I
cannot
perswade
you
to
do
it
,
I
shall
tell
you
my
Reasons
as
short
as
I
can
.
My
Reasons
why
in
Conscience
,
and
the
duty
I
owe
to
God
first
,
and
my
People
next
,
for
the
preservation
of
their
Lives
,
Liberties
and
Estates
;
I
conceive
I
cannot
answer
this
,
till
I
be
satisfied
of
the
legality
of
it
.
All
proceedings
against
any
man
whatsoever
—
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
I
must
interrupt
you
,
which
I
would
not
do
,
but
that
what
you
do
is
not
agreeable
to
the
proceedings
of
any
Court
of
Justice
,
you
are
about
to
enter
into
Argument
,
and
dispute
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
before
whom
you
appear
as
a
Prisoner
,
and
are
charged
as
an
high
Delinquent
;
if
you
take
upon
you
to
dispute
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
we
may
not
do
it
,
nor
will
any
Court
give
way
unto
it
,
you
are
to
submit
unto
it
,
you
are
to
give
in
a
punctual
and
direct
Answer
,
whether
you
will
answer
your
Charge
or
no
,
and
what
your
Answer
is
.
The
KING
.
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
I
do
not
know
the
forms
of
Law
,
I
do
know
Law
and
Reason
,
though
I
am
no
Lawyer
profess'd
,
but
I
know
as
much
Law
as
any
Gentleman
in
England
;
and
therefore
(
under
favour
)
I
do
plead
for
the
Liberties
of
the
People
of
England
more
then
you
do
,
and
therefore
if
I
should
impose
a
belief
upon
any
man
without
Reasons
given
for
it
,
it
were
unreasonable
;
but
I
must
tell
you
,
That
that
Reason
that
I
have
as
thus
informed
,
I
cannot
yield
unto
it
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
I
must
interrupt
you
,
you
may
not
be
permitted
,
you
speak
of
Law
and
Reason
,
it
is
fit
there
should
be
Law
and
Reason
,
and
there
is
both
against
you
.
Sir
,
the
Vote
of
the
Commons
of
England
assembled
in
Parliament
,
it
is
the
Reason
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
they
are
these
that
have
given
to
that
Law
,
according
to
which
you
should
have
ruled
and
raigned
:
Sir
,
you
are
not
to
dispute
our
Authority
,
you
are
told
it
again
by
the
Court.
Sir
,
it
will
be
taken
notice
of
,
that
you
stand
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
and
your
contempt
will
be
recorded
accordingly
.
The
KING
.
I
do
not
know
how
a
King
can
be
a
Delinquent
;
but
by
any
Law
that
ever
I
heard
of
,
all
men
(
Delinquents
,
or
what
you
will
)
let
me
tell
you
,
they
may
put
in
Demurrers
against
any
proceeding
as
legal
,
and
I
do
demand
that
,
and
demand
to
be
heard
with
my
Reasons
,
if
you
deny
that
,
you
deny
Reason
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
offered
something
to
the
Court
,
I
shall
speak
something
unto
you
the
sence
of
the
Court.
Sir
,
neither
you
nor
any
man
are
permitted
to
dispute
that
point
,
you
are
concluded
,
you
may
not
demur
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
if
you
do
,
I
must
let
you
know
,
that
they
over-rule
your
Demurrer
,
they
sit
here
by
the
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
and
all
your
Predecessors
,
and
you
are
responsible
to
them
.
King.
I
deny
that
,
shew
me
one
president
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
you
ought
not
to
interrupt
while
the
Court
is
speaking
to
you
,
this
point
is
not
to
be
debated
by
you
,
neither
will
the
Court
permit
you
to
do
it
,
if
you
offer
it
by
way
of
Demurrer
to
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
they
have
considered
of
their
Jurisdiction
,
they
do
affirm
their
own
Jurisdiction
.
The
King.
I
say
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
that
the
Commons
of
England
was
never
a
Court
of
Judicature
,
I
would
know
how
they
came
to
be
so
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
are
not
to
be
permitted
to
go
on
in
that
speech
,
and
these
discourses
.
Then
the
Clerk
of
the
Court
read
,
as
followeth
:
CHARLS
STUART
King
of
England
,
You
have
been
accused
on
the
behalf
of
the
People
of
England
of
high
Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
;
the
Court
have
determined
that
you
ought
to
answer
the
same
.
The
King.
I
will
answer
the
same
so
soon
as
I
know
by
what
Authority
you
do
this
.
Lord
President
.
If
this
be
all
that
you
will
say
,
then
,
Gentlemen
,
you
that
brought
the
Prisoner
hither
,
take
charge
of
him
back
again
.
The
King.
I
do
require
that
I
may
give
in
my
Reasons
why
I
do
not
answer
,
and
give
me
time
for
that
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
'T
is
not
for
Prisoners
to
require
.
The
King.
Prisoners
?
Sir
,
I
am
not
an
ordinary
Prisoner
.
Lord
President
.
The
Court
hath
considered
of
their
Jurisdiction
,
and
they
have
already
affirmed
their
Jurisdiction
;
if
you
will
not
answer
,
we
shall
give
order
to
record
your
default
.
The
King.
You
never
heard
my
Reasons
yet
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
Your
Reasons
are
not
to
be
heard
against
the
highest
Jurisdiction
.
The
King.
Shew
me
that
Jurisdiction
where
Reason
is
not
to
be
heard
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
We
shew
it
you
here
,
the
Commons
of
England
;
and
the
next
time
you
are
brought
,
you
will
know
more
of
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
,
and
,
it
may
be
,
their
final
determination
.
The
King.
Shew
me
where
ever
the
House
of
Commons
was
a
Court
of
Judicature
of
that
kind
.
Lord
President
.
Serjeant
,
Take
away
the
Prisoner
.
The
King.
Well
Sir
,
Remember
that
the
King
is
not
suffered
to
give
in
his
Reasons
for
the
Liberty
and
Feeedom
of
all
his
Subjects
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
are
not
to
have
liberty
to
use
this
language
;
how
great
a
friend
you
have
been
to
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
People
,
let
all
England
and
the
world
judg
.
The
King.
Sir
,
under
favour
,
it
was
the
Liberty
,
Freedom
,
and
Laws
of
the
Subject
that
ever
I
took
—
defended
my self
with
Arms
,
I
never
took
up
Arms
against
the
People
,
but
for
the
Laws
.
Lord
President
.
The
Command
of
the
Court
must
be
obeyed
;
no
answer
will
be
given
to
the
Charge
.
The
King.
Well
Sir.
Then
the
Lord
President
ordered
the
default
to
be
recorded
,
and
the
contempt
of
the
Court
,
and
that
no
answer
would
be
given
to
the
Charge
.
And
so
was
guarded
forth
to
Sir
Robert
Cottons
house
.
Then
the
Court
adjourned
to
the
Painted
Chamber
on
Tuesday
at
twelve
a
clock
,
and
from
thence
they
intend
to
adjourn
to
Westminster
Hall
,
at
which
time
all
persons
concerned
are
to
give
their
attendance
.
At
the
high
Court
of
Justice
sitting
in
Westminster
Hall
,
Tuesday
,
Ianuary
23.
1648.
O
Yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Court
called
.
Seventy
three
persons
present
.
The
King
comes
in
with
his
Guard
,
looks
with
an
austere
countenance
upon
the
Court
,
and
sits
down
.
The
second
O
Yes
made
,
and
silence
commanded
.
Mr
Cook
Solicitor
General
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
my
Lord
President
,
This
is
now
the
third
time
,
that
by
the
great
grace
and
favour
of
this
high
Court
the
prisoner
hath
been
brought
to
the
Bar
before
any
issue
joyned
in
the
cause
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
at
the
first
Court
exhibite
a
Charge
against
him
,
containing
the
highest
Treason
this
ever
was
wrought
upon
the
Theatre
of
England
:
That
a
King
of
England
,
trusted
to
keep
the
Law
,
That
had
taken
an
Oath
so
to
do
,
That
had
Tribute
paid
him
for
that
end
,
should
be
guilty
of
a
wicked
design
,
subvert
and
destroy
our
Laws
,
and
introduce
an
Arbitrary
,
and
Tyrannical
Government
,
in
the
defence
of
the
Parliament
and
their
Authority
,
set
up
his
Standard
for
War
against
his
Parliament
and
People
;
and
I
did
humbly
pray
,
in
the
behalf
of
the
People
of
England
,
that
he
might
speedily
be
required
to
make
an
Answer
to
the
Charge
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
instead
of
making
any
answer
,
he
did
then
dispute
the
Authority
of
this
High
Court
;
Your
Lordship
was
pleased
to
give
him
a
further
day
to
consider
and
to
put
in
his
Answer
,
which
day
being
yesterday
,
I
did
humbly
move
,
that
he
might
be
required
to
give
a
direct
and
positive
Answer
,
either
by
denying
,
or
confession
of
it
;
but
(
my
Lord
)
he
was
then
pleased
for
to
demur
to
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
which
the
Court
did
then
over-rule
,
and
command
him
to
give
a
direct
and
positive
Answer
.
My
Lord
,
Besides
this
great
delay
of
Justice
;
I
shall
now
humbly
move
your
Lordship
for
speedy
Judgment
against
him
.
My
Lord
,
I
might
press
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
,
That
according
to
the
known
Rules
of
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
That
if
a
Prisoner
shall
stand
as
contumacious
in
contempt
,
and
shall
not
put
in
an
issuable
Plea
;
guilty
or
not
guilty
of
the
Charge
given
against
him
,
whereby
he
may
come
to
a
fair
Tryal
;
That
as
by
an
implicite
Confession
,
it
may
be
taken
pro
confesso
,
as
it
hath
been
done
to
those
▪
who
have
deserved
more
favor
then
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
has
done
▪
But
besides
,
my
Lord
,
I
shall
humbly
press
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
Fact
;
The
House
of
Commons
,
the
supream
Authority
and
Jurisdiction
of
the
Kingdom
,
they
have
Declared
,
That
it
is
notorious
,
That
the
matter
of
the
Charge
is
true
,
as
it
is
in
truth
(
my
Lord
)
as
clear
as
chrystal
,
and
as
the
Sun
that
shines
at
noon
day
,
which
if
your
Lordship
and
the
Court
be
not
satisfied
in
it
have
notwithstanding
,
on
the
People
of
Englands
behalf
,
several
witnesses
to
produce
:
And
therefore
I
do
humbly
pray
,
and
yet
I
must
confess
it
is
not
so
much
I
as
the
innocent
blood
that
hath
been
shed
▪
the
Cry
whereof
is
very
great
for
Justice
and
Judgment
;
and
therefore
I
do
humbly
pray
,
That
speedy
JUDGMENT
be
pronounced
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
have
heard
what
is
moved
by
the
Councel
on
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
against
you
.
Sir
,
you
may
well
remember
,
and
if
you
do
not
,
the
Court
cannot
forget
what
delatory
dealings
the
Court
hath
found
at
your
hands
,
you
were
pleased
to
propound
some
Questions
,
you
have
had
your
Resolution
upon
them
.
You
were
told
over
and
over
again
,
That
the
Court
did
affirm
their
own
Jurisdiction
,
That
it
was
not
for
you
,
nor
any
other
man
,
to
dispute
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Supream
and
highest
Authority
of
England
,
from
which
there
is
no
Appeal
,
and
touching
which
there
must
be
no
dispute
;
yet
you
did
persist
in
such
carriage
,
as
you
gave
no
manner
of
obedience
,
nor
did
you
acknowledge
any
Authority
in
them
,
nor
the
high
Court
,
that
constituted
this
Court
of
Justice
Sir
,
I
must
let
you
know
from
the
Court
,
That
they
are
very
sensible
of
these
delays
of
yours
,
and
that
they
:
ought
not
,
being
thus
Authorized
by
the
supream
Court
of
England
,
to
be
thus
trifled
withal
,
and
that
they
might
in
Justice
,
if
they
pleased
,
and
according
to
the
Rules
of
Justice
,
take
advantage
of
these
delays
,
and
proceed
to
pronounce
judgment
against
you
;
yet
nevertheless
they
are
pleased
to
give
direction
,
and
on
their
behalfs
I
do
require
you
,
That
you
make
a
positive
Answer
unto
this
Charge
that
is
against
you
Sir
,
in
plain
terms
,
for
Justice
knows
no
respect
of
persons
;
you
are
to
give
your
positive
and
finall
Answer
in
plain
English
,
whether
you
be
guilty
or
not
guilty
of
these
Treasons
laid
to
your
Charge
.
The
KING
after
a
little
pause
,
said
,
When
I
was
here
yesterday
,
I
did
desire
to
speak
for
the
Liberties
of
the
People
of
England
;
I
was
interrupted
:
I
desire
to
know
yet
whether
I
may
speak
freely
or
not
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
have
had
the
Resolution
of
the
Court
upon
the
like
Question
the
last
day
,
and
you
were
told
,
That
having
such
a
Charge
of
so
high
a
Nature
against
you
,
and
your
Work
was
,
that
you
ought
to
acknowledge
the
JURISDICTION
of
the
COURT
,
and
to
Answer
to
your
CHARGE
.
Sir
,
if
you
Answer
to
your
Charge
,
which
the
Court
gives
you
leave
now
to
do
,
though
they
might
have
taken
the
advantage
of
your
contempt
,
yet
if
you
be
able
to
Answer
to
your
Charge
,
when
you
have
once
Answered
,
you
shall
be
heard
at
large
,
make
the
best
Defence
you
can
.
But
Sir
,
I
must
let
you
know
from
the
Court
,
as
their
commands
,
that
you
are
not
to
be
permitted
to
issue
out
into
any
other
discourses
,
till
such
time
as
you
have
given
a
positive
Answer
concerning
the
Matter
that
is
CHARG'D
upon
you
.
The
King.
For
the
Charge
,
I
value
it
not
a
Rush
,
it
is
the
Liberty
of
the
People
of
England
that
I
stand
for
;
for
me
to
acknowledge
a
new
Court
that
I
never
heard
of
before
,
I
that
am
your
King
,
that
should
be
an
example
to
all
the
people
of
England
for
to
uphold
Justice
,
to
maintain
the
old
Laws
;
indeed
I
do
not
know
how
to
do
it
;
you
spoke
very
well
the
first
day
that
I
came
here
,
(
on
Saturday
)
of
the
Obligations
that
I
had
laid
upon
me
by
God
,
to
the
maintenance
of
the
Liberties
of
my
People
:
The
same
Obligation
you
spake
of
,
I
do
acknowledge
to
God
that
I
owe
to
him
,
and
to
my
People
,
to
defend
as
much
as
in
me
lies
,
the
ancient
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
therefore
untill
that
I
may
know
that
this
is
not
against
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
by
your
favour
I
can
put
in
no
particular
*
Charge
:
If
you
will
give
me
time
,
I
will
shew
you
my
reasons
why
I
cannot
do
it
,
and
this
—
Here
being
interrupted
,
he
said
,
By
your
favour
,
you
ought
not
to
interrupt
me
;
how
I
came
here
I
know
not
,
there
's
no
Law
for
it
to
make
your
King
your
Prisoner
:
I
was
in
a
Treaty
upon
the
publique
Faith
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
was
the
known
—
two
Houses
of
Parliament
that
was
the
Representative
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
when
that
I
had
almost
made
an
end
of
the
Treaty
▪
then
I
was
hurried
away
and
brought
hither
,
and
therefore
—
Here
the
Lord
President
said
;
Sir
,
you
must
know
the
pleasure
of
the
Court.
The
King.
By
your
favour
Sir
:
Lord
President
.
Nay
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
you
may
not
be
permitted
to
fall
into
those
discourses
;
you
appear
as
a
Delinquent
,
you
have
not
acknowledged
the
authority
of
the
Court
,
the
Court
craves
it
not
of
you
,
but
once
more
they
command
you
to
give
your
positive
Answer
—
Clark.
Do
your
Duty
.
The
King.
Duty
Sir
!
The
Clark
reads
.
CHARLES
STVART
,
KING
of
England
,
You
are
accused
in
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
England
of
divers
high
crimes
and
Treasons
,
which
Charge
hath
been
read
unto
You
;
the
Court
now
requires
you
to
give
Your
positive
and
final
Answer
by
way
of
confession
,
or
denial
of
the
Charge
.
The
King.
Sir
,
I
say
again
to
you
,
so
that
I
might
give
satisfaction
to
the
People
of
England
of
the
clearness
of
my
proceeding
,
not
by
way
of
Answer
,
not
in
this
way
,
but
to
satisfie
them
that
I
have
done
nothing
against
that
Trust
that
hath
been
committed
to
me
,
I
would
do
it
;
but
to
acknowledge
a
new
Court
against
their
Priviledges
,
to
alter
the
fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
Sir
you
must
excuse
me
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
this
is
the
the
third
time
that
you
have
publiquely
disown'd
this
Court
,
and
put
an
affront
upon
it
;
how
far
you
have
preserv'd
Priviledges
of
the
People
,
your
actions
have
spoke
it
;
but
truly
Sir
,
mens
intentions
ought
to
be
known
by
their
actions
,
you
have
written
your
meaning
in
bloudy
Characters
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
;
but
Sir
you
understand
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
,
—
Clerk
Record
the
default
,
—
and
Gentlemen
,
you
that
took
charge
of
the
Prisoner
,
take
him
back
again
.
The
King.
I
will
only
say
this
one
word
more
to
you
,
if
it
were
only
my
own
particular
,
I
would
not
say
any
more
,
nor
interrupt
you
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
heard
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
,
and
you
are
(
notwithstanding
you
will
not
understand
it
)
to
find
that
you
are
before
a
COURT
of
JUSTICE
.
Then
the
King
went
forth
with
his
Guard
,
and
Proclamation
was
made
,
That
all
persons
which
had
then
appear'd
,
and
had
further
to
do
at
the
Court
might
depart
into
the
Painted-Chamber
,
to
which
place
the
Court
did
forthwith
adjourn
,
and
intended
to
meet
in
Westminster
Hall
by
ten
of
the
clock
the
next
morning

Wednesday
January
4.
1648.
THis
day
it
was
expected
the
High
Court
of
Justice
would
have
met
in
Westminster
Hall
about
ten
of
the
clock
,
but
at
the
time
appointed
one
of
the
Ushers
by
direction
of
the
Court
(
then
sitting
in
the
Painted
Chamber
)
gave
notice
to
the
people
there
assembled
,
That
in
regard
the
Court
was
then
upon
the
examination
of
Witnesses
in
relation
to
present
affairs
,
in
the
Painted-Chamber
,
they
could
not
sit
there
,
but
all
persons
appointed
to
be
there
,
were
to
appear
upon
further
Summons
.
The
Proceedings
of
the
High
Court
of
Justice
sitting
in
Westminster
Hall
,
on
Saturday
the
27.
of
January
,
1648.
O
Yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Court
called
.
Serjeant
Bradshaw
,
Lord
President
(
in
a
Scarlet
robe
)
with
sixty
eight
other
Members
of
the
Court.
As
the
King
comes
in
,
a
cry
made
in
the
Hall
for
Execution
,
Iustice
,
Execution
.
King.
I
shall
desire
a
word
to
be
heard
a
little
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
give
no
occasion
of
interruption
.
Lord
President
.
You
may
answer
in
your
time
,
hear
the
Court
first
.
King.
If
it
please
you
Sir
,
I
desire
to
be
heard
,
and
I
shall
not
give
any
occasion
of
interruption
,
and
it
is
only
in
a
word
,
a
sudden
Judgment
.
—
Lord
President
.
Sir
you
shall
be
heard
in
due
time
,
but
you
are
to
hear
the
Court
first
.
King.
Sir
,
I
desire
it
will
be
in
order
to
what
I
believe
the
Court
will
say
;
and
therefore
Sir
,
an
hasty
Judgment
is
not
so
soon
recall'd
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
You
shall
be
heard
before
the
Judgment
be
given
,
and
in
the
mean
time
you
may
forbear
.
King.
Well
Sir
,
shall
I
be
heard
before
the
Judgment
be
given
?
Lord
President
.
Gentlemen
,
it
is
well
known
to
all
,
or
most
of
you
here
present
,
That
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
hath
been
severall
times
convented
and
brought
before
the
Court
to
make
Answer
to
a
Charge
of
Treason
,
and
other
high
crimes
exhibited
against
him
in
the
name
of
the
People
of
*
England
,
to
which
Charge
being
required
to
Answer
,
he
hath
been
so
far
from
obeying
the
commands
of
the
Court
by
submitting
to
their
Justice
,
as
he
began
to
take
upon
him
to
offer
reasoning
and
debate
unto
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
and
of
the
highest
Court
that
constituted
them
to
Try
and
judge
him
;
but
being
over-ruled
in
that
,
and
required
to
make
his
Answer
,
he
was
still
pleased
to
continue
contumacious
,
and
to
refuse
to
submit
or
Answer
:
Hereupon
the
Court
▪
that
they
may
not
be
wanting
to
themselves
,
to
the
trust
reposed
in
them
,
nor
that
any
mans
wilfulness
prevent
Justice
,
they
have
thought
fit
to
take
the
matter
into
their
consideration
;
They
have
considered
of
the
contumacy
,
and
of
that
confession
,
which
in
Law
doth
arise
upon
that
contumacy
;
They
have
likewise
considered
of
the
notoriety
of
the
Fact
charg'd
upon
this
Prisoner
,
and
upon
the
whole
matter
they
are
resolved
,
and
have
agreed
upon
a
Sentence
to
be
now
pronounced
against
this
Prisoner
:
but
in
respect
he
doth
desire
to
be
heard
,
before
the
Sentence
be
read
,
and
pronounc'd
,
the
Court
hath
resolved
that
they
will
hear
him
;
yet
Sir
,
thus
much
I
must
tell
you
before-hand
,
which
you
have
been
minded
of
at
other
Courts
,
That
if
that
you
have
to
say
be
to
offer
any
debate
concerning
Jurisdiction
,
you
are
not
to
be
heard
in
it
,
you
have
offered
it
formerly
,
and
you
have
indeed
struck
at
the
root
,
that
is
the
power
and
Supreme
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
which
this
Court
will
not
admit
a
debate
of
,
and
which
indeed
is
an
irrational
thing
in
them
to
do
,
being
a
Court
that
acts
upon
Authority
derived
from
them
,
that
they
should
presume
to
judge
upon
their
Superior
,
from
whom
there
's
no
Appeal
.
But
Sir
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
say
in
defence
of
your self
concerning
the
matter
charged
,
the
Court
hath
given
me
in
command
to
let
you
know
they
will
hear
you
.
The
King.
Since
that
I
see
that
you
will
●ot
hear
any
thing
of
debate
concerning
that
which
I
confess
I
thought
most
material
for
the
peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
for
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
shall
wave
it
,
I
shall
speak
nothing
to
it
,
but
only
I
must
tell
you
,
That
this
many
a
day
all
things
have
been
taken
away
from
me
,
but
that
that
I
call
more
dearer
to
me
then
my
life
,
which
is
,
My
Conscience
and
my
Honor
;
and
if
I
had
respect
to
my
Life
more
then
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
certainly
I
should
have
made
a
particular
defence
for
my self
,
for
by
that
at
leastwise
I
might
have
delayed
an
ugly
Sentence
,
which
I
believe
will
pass
upon
me
;
Therefore
certainly
Sir
,
as
a
man
that
hath
some
understanding
,
some
knowledge
of
the
world
,
if
that
my
true
zeal
to
my
Country
had
not
over-born
the
care
that
I
have
of
my
own
preservation
,
I
should
have
gone
another
way
to
work
then
that
I
have
done
;
Now
Sir
I
conceive
,
That
an
hasty
Sentence
once
past
may
sooner
be
repented
then
recalled
,
and
truly
,
the
self-same
desire
that
I
have
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
more
then
my
own
particular
,
does
make
me
now
at
last
desire
,
That
having
something
for
to
say
that
concerns
both
,
I
desire
before
Sentence
be
given
,
that
I
may
be
heard
in
the
Painted-Chamber
before
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
this
delay
cannot
be
prejudicial
to
you
whatsoever
I
say
,
if
that
I
say
no
reason
,
those
that
hear
me
must
be
Judges
,
I
cannot
be
Judge
of
that
that
I
have
,
if
it
be
reason
,
and
really
for
the
welfare
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
am
sure
on
't
very
well
t
is
worth
the
hearing
;
Therefore
I
do
conjure
you
,
as
you
love
that
that
you
pretend
,
I
hope
it
's
real
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
you
will
grant
me
the
hearing
before
any
Sentence
be
past
,
I
only
desire
this
,
that
you
will
take
this
into
your
consideration
,
it
may
be
you
have
not
heard
of
it
before
hand
,
if
you
will
I
'le
retire
,
and
you
may
think
of
it
,
but
if
I
cannot
get
this
Liberty
,
I
do
here
protest
that
so
fair
shews
of
Liberty
and
Peace
are
pure
shews
,
and
not
otherwise
,
then
that
you
will
not
hear
your
KING
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
now
spoken
.
King.
Yes
Sir.
Lord
President
.
And
this
that
you
have
said
is
a
further
declining
of
the
Iurisdiction
of
this
Court
,
which
was
the
thing
wherein
you
were
limited
before
King.
Pray
excuse
me
Sir
,
for
my
interruption
,
because
you
mistake
me
,
It
is
not
a
declining
of
it
,
you
do
judge
me
before
you
hear
me
speak
,
I
say
it
will
not
,
I
do
not
decline
it
,
though
I
cannot
acknowledge
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court
;
Yet
Sir
,
in
this
give
me
leave
to
say
▪
I
would
do
it
,
though
I
did
not
acknowledge
it
in
this
,
I
do
protest
it
is
not
the
declining
of
it
,
since
I
say
,
if
that
I
do
say
any
thing
but
that
that
is
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
then
the
shame
is
mine
.
Now
I
desire
,
that
you
will
take
this
into
your
consideration
,
if
you
will
I
'le
withdraw
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
This
is
not
altogether
new
that
you
have
moved
unto
us
,
not
altogether
new
to
us
,
though
the
first
time
in
Person
you
have
offered
it
to
the
Court
▪
Sir
,
you
say
you
do
not
Decline
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court.
King.
Not
in
this
that
I
have
said
.
Lord
President
.
I
understand
you
well
Sir
,
but
nevertheless
that
which
you
have
offered
,
seems
to
be
contrary
to
that
saying
of
yours
;
for
the
Court
are
ready
to
give
a
Sentence
:
it
is
not
as
you
say
,
That
they
will
not
hear
your
King
,
for
they
have
been
ready
to
hear
you
;
they
have
patiently
wa●ted
your
pleasure
for
three
Courts
together
,
to
hear
what
you
would
say
to
the
Peoples
Charge
against
you
,
to
which
you
have
not
vouchsafed
to
give
any
Answer
at
all
;
Sir
,
This
tends
to
a
further
delay
:
Truly
Sir
,
such
delaies
as
these
neither
may
the
Kingdom
,
nor
Justice
well
bear
;
You
have
had
three
several
daies
to
have
offered
in
this
kind
what
you
would
have
pleased
;
This
Court
is
founded
upon
that
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
in
whom
rests
the
Supreme
Jurisdiction
;
That
which
you
now
tender
is
to
have
another
Jurisdiction
,
and
a
Co-ordinate
Jurisdiction
,
I
know
very
well
you
express
your self
.
Sir
,
That
notwithstanding
that
you
would
offer
to
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
the
Painted
Chamber
,
yet
nevertheless
you
would
proceed
on
here
,
I
did
hear
you
say
so
;
but
Sir
,
That
you
would
offer
there
,
what
ever
it
is
,
it
must
needs
be
in
delay
of
the
Justice
here
,
so
as
if
this
Court
be
resolved
,
and
prepared
for
the
Sentence
,
this
that
you
offer
they
are
not
bound
in
Justice
to
grant
;
but
Sir
,
according
to
that
you
seem
to
desire
,
and
because
you
shall
know
the
further
pleasure
of
the
Court
upon
that
which
you
have
moved
,
the
Court
will
withdraw
for
a
time
.
King.
Shall
I
withdraw
?
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
Yow
shall
know
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
presently
,
the
Court
withdraws
for
half
an
hour
into
the
Court
of
Wards
Sergeant
at
Arms
,
the
Court
gives
command
that
the
Prisoner
be
withdrawn
,
and
they
give
order
for
his
return
again
.
The
Court
withdraws
for
half
an
hour
and
returns
.
Lord
President
.
Sergeant
at
Arms
,
send
for
your
prisoner
.
Sir
,
you
were
pleased
to
make
a
motion
here
to
the
Court
to
offer
a
desire
of
yours
touching
the
propounding
of
somewhat
to
the
Lords
in
the
Painted
Chamber
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
;
Sir
,
you
did
in
effect
receive
an
Answer
before
the
Court
adjourned
;
Truly
Sir
,
their
withdrawing
and
adjournment
was
pro
forma
tantum
,
for
it
did
not
seem
to
them
that
there
was
any
difficulty
in
the
thing
;
they
have
considered
of
what
you
have
moved
,
and
have
considered
of
their
own
Authority
,
which
is
founded
,
as
hath
been
often
said
,
upon
the
Supream
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
Assembled
in
Parliament
.
The
Court
acts
accordingly
to
their
Commission
▪
Sir
,
the
return
I
have
to
you
from
the
Court
,
is
this
;
That
they
have
been
too
much
delayed
by
you
already
,
and
this
that
you
now
offer
hath
occasioned
some
little
further
delay
,
and
they
are
JUDGES
appointed
by
the
highest
JUDGES
,
and
Judges
are
no
more
to
delay
then
they
are
to
deny
Justice
,
they
are
good
words
in
the
old
Charter
of
England
,
Nulli
negabimus
,
nulli
vendemus
,
nulli
deferremus
Justitiam
:
There
must
be
no
delay
,
but
the
truth
is
Sir
,
and
so
every
man
here
observes
it
,
That
you
have
much
delayed
them
in
your
contempt
and
default
,
for
which
they
might
long
since
have
proceeded
to
judgment
against
you
,
and
notwithstanding
what
you
have
offered
,
they
are
resolved
to
proceed
to
punishment
,
and
to
Judgment
,
and
that
is
their
unanimous
resolution
.
King.
Sir
,
I
know
it
is
in
vain
for
me
to
dispute
,
I
am
no
Sceptick
for
to
deny
the
Power
that
you
have
,
I
know
that
you
have
Power
enough
;
Sir
,
I
confess
,
I
think
it
would
have
been
for
the
Kingdoms
Peace
,
if
you
would
have
taken
the
pains
for
to
have
shewn
the
Lawfulness
of
your
Power
,
for
this
delay
that
I
have
desired
,
I
confess
it
is
a
delay
,
but
it
is
a
delay
very
important
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
for
it
is
not
my
Person
that
I
look
on
alone
,
it
is
the
Kingdoms
well-fare
,
and
the
Kingdoms
Peace
,
it
is
an
old
Sentence
,
That
we
should
think
on
long
before
we
have
resolved
of
great
matters
suddenly
;
Therefore
Sir
,
I
do
say
again
,
That
I
do
put
at
your
doors
all
the
inconveniency
of
an
hasty
Sentence
,
I
confess
,
I
have
been
here
now
I
think
this
week
,
this
day
eight
days
was
the
day
I
came
here
first
,
but
a
little
delay
of
a
day
or
two
further
may
give
Peace
,
whereas
an
hasty
Judgement
may
bring
on
that
trouble
and
perpetual
inconveniency
to
the
Kingdom
,
That
the
child
that
is
unborn
may
repent
it
;
and
therefore
again
,
out
of
the
Duty
I
ow
to
God
,
and
to
my
Country
,
I
do
desire
that
I
may
be
heard
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
the
Painted
Chamber
,
or
any
other
Chamber
that
you
will
appoint
me
.
Lord
Pres
.
Sir
,
you
have
bin
already
answer'd
to
what
you
even
now
moved
,
being
the
same
you
moved
before
,
since
the
Resolution
and
the
Judgement
of
the
Court
in
it
,
and
the
Court
now
requires
to
know
whether
you
have
any
more
to
say
for
your self
,
then
you
have
said
,
before
they
proceed
to
Sentence
.
King.
I
say
this
Sir
,
That
if
you
will
hear
me
,
if
you
will
give
me
but
this
delay
,
I
doubt
not
but
I
shall
give
some
satisfaction
to
you
all
here
,
and
to
my
People
after
that
,
and
therefore
I
do
require
you
,
as
you
will
answer
it
at
the
dreadfull
day
of
Judgment
,
that
you
will
consider
it
once
again
.
Lord
President
.
Sir
,
I
have
received
direction
from
the
Court.
King.
Well
Sir.
Lord
President
.
If
this
must
be
re-enforc'd
,
or
any
thing
of
this
nature
,
your
answer
must
be
the
same
,
and
they
will
proceed
to
Sentence
if
you
have
nothing
more
to
say
.
King.
Sir
,
I
have
nothing
more
to
say
,
but
I
shall
desire
that
this
may
be
entered
what
I
have
said
.
Lord
President
.
The
Court
then
,
Sir
,
hath
something
else
to
say
unto
you
,
which
although
I
know
it
will
be
very
unacceptable
,
yet
notwithstanding
they
are
willing
,
and
are
resolv'd
to
discharge
their
Duty
,
Sir
,
you
spake
very
well
of
a
precious
thing
that
you
call
Peace
,
and
it
had
been
much
to
be
wished
that
God
had
put
it
into
your
heart
,
that
you
had
as
effectually
and
really
endeavoured
and
studied
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
now
in
words
you
seem
to
pretend
;
but
as
you
were
told
the
other
day
,
Actions
must
expound
Intentions
,
yet
Actions
have
been
clean
contrary
;
and
truly
Sir
,
it
doth
appear
plainly
enough
to
them
,
That
you
have
gone
upon
very
erronious
principles
,
the
Kingdom
hath
felt
it
to
their
smart
,
and
it
will
be
no
ease
to
you
to
think
of
it
,
for
Sir
,
you
have
held
your self
,
and
let
fall
such
Language
,
as
if
you
had
been
no
ways
Subject
to
the
Law
,
or
that
the
Law
had
not
been
your
Superiour
.
Sir
,
The
Court
is
very
well
sensible
of
it
,
and
I
hope
so
are
all
the
understanding
People
of
England
,
That
the
Law
is
your
Superiour
,
That
you
ought
to
have
ruled
according
to
the
Law
,
you
ought
to
have
done
so
:
Sir
,
I
know
very
well
your
pretence
hath
been
that
you
have
done
so
,
but
Sir
,
the
difference
hath
been
who
shall
be
the
Expositors
of
this
Law
,
Sir
,
whether
you
and
your
Party
out
of
Courts
of
Justice
shall
take
upon
them
to
expound
Law
,
or
the
Courts
of
Justice
,
who
are
the
Expounders
;
nay
,
the
Soveraign
and
the
High
Court
of
Justice
,
the
PARLIAMENT
of
England
,
that
are
not
only
the
highest
Expounders
,
but
the
sole
makers
of
the
Law.
Sir
,
for
you
to
set
your self
with
your
single
judgment
,
and
those
that
adhere
unto
you
,
to
set
your self
against
the
highest
Court
of
Justice
,
that
is
not
Law.
Sir
,
as
the
Law
is
your
Superior
,
so
truly
Sir
,
there
is
something
that
is
Superior
to
the
Law
,
and
that
is
indeed
the
Parent
or
Author
of
the
Law
,
and
that
is
the
People
of
England
,
For
Sir
,
as
they
are
those
that
at
the
first
▪
(
as
other
Countries
have
done
)
did
choose
to
themselves
this
Form
of
Gouernment
,
even
for
Justice
sake
,
that
Justice
might
be
administred
,
that
Peace
might
be
preserved
;
so
Sir
,
they
gave
Laws
to
their
Governors
,
according
to
which
they
should
Govern
;
and
if
those
Laws
should
have
proved
inconvenient
,
or
prejudiciall
to
the
Publique
,
they
had
a
power
in
them
,
and
reserved
to
themselves
to
alter
as
they
shall
see
cause
.
Sir
,
it
is
very
true
,
what
some
of
your
side
have
said
,
Rex
non
habet
parem
in
Regno
;
This
Court
will
say
the
same
,
while
KING
,
That
you
have
not
your
Peer
in
some
sense
,
for
you
are
major
singulis
,
but
they
will
aver
again
,
that
you
are
minor
universis
;
and
the
same
Author
tels
you
,
that
in
exhibitione
Juris
,
there
you
have
no
power
,
but
in
_____
quasi
minimus
.
This
we
know
to
be
Law
,
Rex
habet
superiorem
,
Deum
&
Legem
,
etiam
&
curiam
,
and
so
says
the
same
Author
;
and
truly
,
Sir
,
he
makes
bold
to
go
a
little
further
,
Debent
ei
ponere
frenum
,
they
ought
to
bridle
him
;
and
Sir
,
we
know
very
well
the
stories
of
old
,
Those
Wars
that
were
called
the
Barons
Wars
,
when
the
Nobility
of
the
Land
did
stand
out
for
the
Liberty
and
Property
of
the
Subject
,
and
would
not
suffer
the
Kings
that
did
invade
to
play
the
Tyrants
free●
,
but
called
them
to
account
for
it
,
we
know
that
truth
,
That
they
did
Frenum
ponere
,
But
Sir
,
if
they
do
forbear
to
do
their
Duty
now
,
and
are
not
so
mindfull
of
their
own
Honor
and
the
Kingdoms
good
,
as
the
Barons
of
England
of
old
were
,
certainly
the
Commons
of
England
will
not
be
unmindfull
of
what
is
for
their
preservation
,
and
for
their
safety
,
Justitiae
fruendi
causâ
Reges
constituti
sunt
.
This
we
learn
,
the
end
of
having
Kings
,
or
any
other
Governors
,
it
's
for
the
enjoying
of
Justice
,
that
's
the
end
.
Now
Sir
,
if
so
be
the
King
will
go
contrary
to
that
End
,
or
any
other
Governor
will
go
contrary
to
the
end
of
his
Government
;
Sir
,
he
must
understand
that
he
is
but
an
Officer
in
trust
,
and
he
ought
to
discharge
that
Trust
,
and
they
are
to
take
order
for
the
animadversion
▪
and
punishment
of
such
an
offending
Governor
.
This
is
not
Law
of
yesterday
Sir
,
(
since
the
time
of
the
division
betwixt
you
and
your
People
,
)
but
it
is
Law
of
old
;
And
we
know
very
well
the
Authors
and
the
Authorities
that
do
tell
us
what
the
Law
was
in
that
point
upon
the
Election
of
Kings
,
upon
the
Oath
that
they
took
unto
their
People
;
and
if
they
did
not
observe
it
,
there
were
those
things
called
Parliaments
;
The
Parliaments
were
they
that
were
to
adjudge
(
the
very
words
of
the
Author
)
the
plaints
and
wrongs
done
of
the
King
and
the
Queen
,
or
their
Children
,
such
wrongs
especially
when
the
People
could
have
no
where
else
any
remedy
.
Sir
,
that
hath
been
the
People
of
Englands
case
,
they
could
not
have
their
remedy
elsewhere
but
in
Parliament
.
Sir
,
Parliaments
were
ordained
for
that
purpose
to
redress
the
grievances
of
the
People
,
that
was
their
main
end
;
and
truly
Sir
,
if
so
be
that
the
Kings
of
England
had
been
rightly
mindfull
of
themselves
,
they
were
never
more
in
Majesty
and
State
then
in
the
Parliament
:
but
how
forgetful
some
have
been
,
Stories
have
told
us
;
We
have
a
miserable
,
a
lamentable
,
a
sad
experience
of
it
.
Sir
by
the
old
Laws
of
England
,
I
speak
these
things
the
rather
to
you
,
because
you
were
pleased
to
let
fall
the
other
day
,
you
thought
you
had
as
much
knowledg
in
the
Law
,
as
most
Gentlemen
in
England
,
it
is
very
well
Sir.
And
truly
Sir
,
it
is
very
fit
for
the
Gentlemen
of
England
to
understand
that
Law
under
which
they
must
live
,
and
by
which
they
must
be
governed
.
And
then
Sir
,
the
Scripture
says
,
They
that
know
their
Masters
will
and
do
it
not
,
what
follows
?
The
Law
is
your
Master
,
the
Acts
of
Parliament
.
The
Parliaments
were
to
be
kept
anciently
we
find
in
our
old
Author
twice
in
the
year
,
That
the
subject
upon
any
occasion
might
have
a
ready
remedy
and
redress
for
his
Grievance
.
Afterwards
by
several
Acts
of
Parliament
in
the
days
of
your
Predecessor
Edward
the
third
,
they
must
have
been
once
a
year
.
Sir
what
the
intermission
of
PARLIAMENTS
hath
been
in
your
time
it
is
very
well
known
,
and
the
sad
Consequences
of
it
,
and
what
in
the
interim
instead
of
these
PARLIAMENTS
,
hath
been
by
you
by
an
high
and
Arbitrary
hand
introduced
upon
the
People
,
that
likewise
hath
been
too
well
known
and
felt
.
But
when
God
by
his
Providence
had
so
far
brought
it
about
,
that
you
could
no
longer
decline
the
calling
of
a
Parliament
,
Sir
,
yet
it
will
appear
what
your
ends
were
against
the
Ancient
and
your
Native
Kingdom
of
SCOTLAND
:
The
Parliament
of
England
not
serving
your
ends
against
them
,
you
were
pleased
to
dissolve
it
.
Another
great
necessity
occasioned
the
calling
of
this
Parliament
,
and
what
your
Designs
and
Plots
and
endeavours
all
along
have
been
for
the
crushing
and
confounding
of
this
Parliament
,
hath
been
very
notorious
to
the
whole
Kingdom
;
And
truly
Sir
,
in
that
you
did
strike
at
all
;
That
had
been
a
sure
way
to
have
brought
about
that
that
this
Charge
laies
upon
you
,
Your
Intention
to
Subvert
the
FVNDAMENTAL
LAWES
of
the
Land.
For
the
great
Bulwark
of
the
Liberties
of
the
People
,
is
the
PARLIAMENT
of
England
▪
and
to
Subvert
and
Root
up
that
,
which
your
aim
hath
been
to
do
,
certainly
at
one
blow
you
had
confounded
the
liberties
and
the
property
of
England
.
Truly
Sir
,
it
makes
me
call
to
minde
,
I
cannot
forbear
to
express
it
,
for
Sir
,
we
must
deal
plainly
with
you
,
according
to
the
merits
of
your
cause
,
so
is
our
Commission
,
it
makes
me
call
to
mind
(
these
proceedings
of
yours
)
That
we
read
of
a
great
Roman
Emperor
,
by
the
way
let
us
call
him
a
great
Roman
Tyrant
,
Caligula
,
That
wisht
that
the
People
of
Rome
had
had
but
one
neck
,
that
at
one
blow
he
might
cut
it
off
:
and
your
proceedings
hath
been
somewhat
like
to
this
;
for
the
body
of
the
People
of
England
hath
been
(
and
where
else
)
represented
but
in
the
Parliament
,
and
could
you
have
but
confounded
that
,
you
had
at
one
blow
cut
off
the
neck
of
England
:
But
God
hath
reserved
better
things
for
us
,
and
hath
pleased
for
to
Confound
your
designs
,
and
to
break
your
Forces
,
and
to
bring
your
Person
into
Custody
that
you
might
be
responsible
to
Justice
.
Sir
,
we
know
very
well
,
That
it
is
a
question
on
your
side
very
much
prest
,
by
what
President
we
shall
proceed
?
Truly
Sir
,
for
Presidents
,
I
shall
not
upon
these
occasions
institute
any
long
discourse
,
but
it
is
no
new
thing
to
cite
Presidents
almost
of
all
Nations
,
where
the
People
(
when
power
hath
been
in
their
hands
)
have
been
made
bold
to
call
their
Kings
to
account
,
and
where
the
change
of
Governement
hath
been
upon
occasion
of
the
Tyranny
and
Mis-Government
of
those
that
have
been
placed
over
them
;
I
will
not
spend
time
to
mention
France
,
or
Spain
,
or
the
Empire
,
or
other
Countries
,
volumes
may
be
written
of
it
;
But
truly
Sir
,
that
of
the
Kingdom
of
Aragon
,
I
shall
think
some
of
us
have
thought
upon
it
,
when
they
have
the
Justice
of
Aragon
,
that
is
a
man
tanquam
in
medio
positus
,
betwixt
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
people
of
the
Country
,
that
if
wrong
be
done
by
the
King
he
that
is
the
King
of
Aragon
,
the
Justice
hath
power
to
reform
the
wrong
,
and
he
is
acknowledged
to
be
the
Kings
Superiour
,
and
is
the
grand
preserver
of
their
priviledges
,
and
hath
prosecuted
Kings
upon
their
miscarriages
.
Sir
;
What
the
Tribunes
of
Rome
were
heretofore
,
and
what
the
Ephori
were
to
the
Lacedemonian
State
we
know
,
that
is
the
Parliament
of
England
to
the
English
State
;
and
though
Rome
seemed
to
lose
it's
Liberty
when
once
the
Emperors
were
;
yet
you
shall
find
some
famous
Acts
of
Justice
even
done
by
the
Senate
of
Rome
,
that
great
Tyrant
of
his
time
Nero
,
condemned
and
judged
by
the
Senate
.
But
truly
Sir
,
to
you
I
should
not
mention
these
Forreign
examples
and
stories
.
If
you
look
but
over
Tweed
,
we
find
enough
in
your
native
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
If
we
look
to
your
first
King
Fergusius
that
your
stories
make
mention
of
,
he
was
an
elective
King
,
he
dyed
,
and
left
two
Sons
both
in
their
minority
,
the
Kingdom
made
choyce
of
their
Unkle
his
Brother
to
govern
in
the
minority
;
afterwards
the
elder
brother
giving
small
hopes
to
the
people
that
he
would
rule
or
govern
well
,
seeking
to
supplant
that
good
Unkle
of
his
that
governed
then
justly
,
they
set
the
elder
aside
,
and
took
to
the
younger
.
Sir
,
if
I
should
come
to
what
your
stories
make
mention
of
▪
you
know
very
well
you
are
the
109.
King
of
Scotland
,
for
to
mention
so
many
Kings
as
that
Kingdom
,
according
to
their
power
and
priviledg
,
have
made
bold
to
deal
withal
,
some
to
banish
,
and
some
to
imprison
,
and
some
to
put
to
death
,
it
would
be
too
long
;
and
as
one
of
your
own
Authors
says
,
it
would
be
too
long
to
recite
the
manifold
examples
that
your
own
stories
make
mention
of
;
Reges
(
say
they
)
we
do
create
,
we
created
Kings
at
first
;
Leges
,
&c.
We
imposed
Laws
upon
them
;
and
as
they
are
chosen
by
the
suffrages
of
the
people
at
the
first
,
so
,
upon
just
occasion
,
by
the
same
suffrages
they
may
be
taken
down
again
:
and
we
will
be
bold
to
say
,
that
no
Kingdom
hath
yeelded
more
plentiful
experience
then
that
your
Native
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
hath
done
concerning
the
deposition
and
the
punishment
of
their
offending
and
transgressing
Kings
,
&c.
It
is
not
far
to
go
for
an
example
neer
you
,
our
Grandmother
set
aside
,
and
your
Father
●n
Infant
crowned
;
and
the
State
did
it
here
●n
England
,
here
hath
not
been
a
want
of
●ome
examples
,
they
have
made
bold
(
the
Par●iament
,
and
the
People
of
England
)
to
call
●heir
Kings
to
account
,
there
are
frequent
●xamples
of
it
in
the
Saxons
time
,
the
time
before
the
Conquest
;
since
the
Conquest
here
want
not
some
presidents
neither
,
King
Edward
the
second
,
King
Richard
the
second
,
were
dealt
with
so
by
the
Parliament
,
as
they
were
deposed
and
deprived
;
and
truly
Sir
,
who
ever
shall
look
into
their
stories
,
they
●hall
not
finde
the
Articles
that
are
charged
upon
them
to
come
neer
to
that
height
and
capitalness
of
Crimes
that
are
layd
to
your
charge
,
nothing
neer
.
Sir
,
You
were
pleased
to
say
the
other
day
wherein
they
discent
,
and
I
did
not
contradict
it
,
but
take
altogether
,
Sir
,
if
you
were
as
the
Charge
speaks
,
and
no
o●herwise
admitted
King
of
ENGLAND
,
but
for
that
you
were
pleased
then
to
alledg
,
now
that
almost
for
a
thousand
years
these
things
have
been
,
stories
will
tell
you
,
if
you
go
no
higher
then
the
time
of
the
Conquest
,
if
you
do
come
down
since
the
Conquest
,
you
are
the
Twenty
fourth
King
from
William
called
the
Conqueror
,
you
shall
find
one
half
of
them
to
come
meerly
from
the
State
,
and
not
meerly
upon
the
point
of
Discent
;
it
were
easie
to
be
instanced
to
you
,
the
time
must
not
be
lost
that
way
.
And
truly
Sir
,
what
a
grave
and
learned
Judge
in
his
time
and
well
known
to
you
,
and
is
since
printed
for
posterity
,
That
although
there
was
such
a
thing
as
a
discent
many
times
,
yet
the
Kings
of
Enland
ever
held
the
greatest
assurance
of
their
Titles
when
it
was
declared
by
Parliament
:
And
Sir
,
your
Oath
,
the
manner
of
your
Coronation
doth
shew
plainly
,
That
the
Kings
of
England
,
although
it
's
true
by
the
Law
the
next
Person
in
bloud
is
designed
;
yet
if
there
were
just
cause
to
refuse
him
,
the
people
of
England
might
do
it
.
For
there
is
a
Contract
,
and
Bargain
made
between
the
King
and
his
People
,
and
your
Oath
is
taken
,
and
certainly
Sir
,
the
Bond
is
reciprocal
,
for
as
you
are
the
liege
Lord
,
so
they
liege
subjects
,
and
we
know
very
well
that
hath
been
so
much
spoken
of
,
Ligantia
est
duplex
,
This
we
know
now
,
the
one
tye
,
the
one
Bond
,
is
the
bond
of
perfection
that
is
due
from
the
Soveraign
,
the
other
is
the
Bond
of
Subjection
that
is
due
from
the
Subject
,
Sir
if
this
Bond
be
once
broken
,
farewell
Soveraignty
,
Subjectio
trahit
,
&c.
These
things
may
not
be
denyed
Sir
,
I
speak
it
the
rather
,
and
I
pray
God
it
may
work
upon
your
heart
,
that
you
may
be
sensible
of
your
miscarriages
.
For
whether
you
have
been
as
by
your
Office
you
ought
to
be
,
a
Protector
of
England
,
or
the
destroyer
of
England
,
let
all
England
judge
,
or
all
the
world
that
hath
look'd
upon
it
.
Sir
,
though
you
have
it
by
Inheritance
in
the
way
that
is
spoken
of
,
yet
it
must
not
be
denyed
that
your
Office
was
an
Office
of
Trust
,
and
indeed
,
an
Office
of
the
highest
Trust
lodged
in
any
single
person
;
For
as
you
were
the
grand
Administrator
of
Justice
,
and
others
were
as
your
Deligates
to
see
it
done
throughout
your
Realms
,
If
your
great
Office
were
to
do
Justice
and
preserve
your
People
from
wrong
,
and
instead
of
doing
that
you
will
be
the
great
wrong
doer
your self
;
If
instead
of
being
a
Conservator
of
the
Peace
,
you
will
be
the
Grand
disturbe
of
the
Peace
,
surely
this
is
contrary
to
your
Office
,
contrary
to
your
Trust
.
Now
Sir
,
if
it
be
an
Office
of
Inheritance
,
as
you
speak
of
your
Title
by
Discent
,
let
all
men
know
that
great
Offices
are
Seizable
and
Forfeitable
,
as
if
you
had
it
but
for
a
year
and
for
your
Life
;
Therefore
Sir
,
it
will
concern
you
to
take
into
your
serious
consideration
your
great
miscarriages
in
this
kind
.
Truly
Sir
,
I
shall
not
particularize
the
many
miscarriages
of
your
Reign
whatsoever
,
they
are
famously
known
;
it
had
been
happy
for
the
Kingdom
,
and
happy
for
you
too
,
if
it
had
not
been
so
much
known
,
and
so
much
felt
,
as
the
story
of
your
miscarriages
must
needs
be
,
and
hath
been
already
.
Sir
,
That
that
we
are
now
upon
by
the
command
of
the
highest
Court
hath
been
and
is
to
try
and
judg
you
for
these
great
offences
of
yours
.
Sir
,
the
Charge
hath
called
you
Tyrant
,
a
Traytor
,
a
Murtherer
,
and
a
publique
Enemy
to
the
Commonwealth
of
England
.
Sir
,
It
had
been
well
,
if
that
any
of
all
these
terms
might
rightly
and
justly
have
been
spared
,
if
any
one
of
them
at
all
.
King.
Ha
?
Lord
Pres
.
Truly
Sir
,
We
have
been
told
,
Rex
est
dum
bene
regit
,
Tyrannus
qui
populum
opp●●vit
,
and
if
so
be
that
be
the
definition
of
a
Tyrant
,
then
see
how
you
come
short
of
it
in
your
actions
,
whether
the
highest
Tyrant
by
that
way
of
Arbitrary
Government
,
and
that
you
have
sought
for
to
introduce
,
and
that
you
have
sought
to
put
,
you
were
putting
upon
the
people
,
whether
that
was
not
as
high
an
act
of
Tyranny
as
any
of
your
predecessors
were
guilty
of
,
nay
,
many
degrees
beyond
it
.
Sir
,
the
term
Traytor
cannot
be
spared
,
we
shall
easily
agree
it
must
denote
and
suppose
a
breach
of
Trust
,
and
it
must
suppose
it
to
be
done
by
a
Superior
,
and
therefore
Sir
,
as
the
People
of
England
might
have
incurred
that
respecting
you
,
if
they
had
been
truly
guilty
of
it
,
as
to
the
definition
of
Law
,
so
on
the
other
side
,
when
you
did
break
your
Trust
to
the
Kingdom
,
you
did
break
your
Trust
to
your
Superior
:
For
the
Kingdom
is
that
for
which
you
were
trusted
.
And
therefore
Sir
,
for
this
breach
of
Trust
when
you
are
called
to
account
,
you
are
called
to
account
by
your
Superiors
▪
Minimus
ad
majorem
in
judicium
vo●it
.
And
Sir
,
the
People
of
England
cannot
be
so
far
wanting
to
themselves
,
which
God
having
dealt
so
miraculously
and
gloriously
for
,
they
having
power
in
their
hands
,
and
their
great
Enemy
,
they
must
proceed
to
do
Justice
to
themselves
,
and
to
you
▪
For
,
Sir
,
the
Court
could
heartily
desire
,
That
you
would
lay
your
hand
upon
your
heart
and
consider
what
you
have
done
amiss
,
That
you
would
endeavor
to
make
your
Peace
with
God.
Truly
Sir
,
These
are
your
high
Crimes
,
Tyranny
and
Treason
.
There
is
a
third
thing
too
if
those
had
not
been
,
and
that
is
Murther
,
which
is
layd
to
your
charge
.
All
the
bloody
Murthers
that
have
been
committed
since
this
time
that
the
division
was
betwixt
you
and
your
People
must
be
layd
to
your
charge
,
that
have
been
acted
or
committed
in
these
late
Wars
.
Sir
,
it
is
an
heinous
and
crying
sin
;
and
truly
Sir
,
if
any
man
will
ask
us
what
punishment
is
due
to
a
Murtherer
,
Let
Gods
Law
,
let
mans
Law
speak
.
Sir
,
I
will
presume
that
you
are
so
well
read
in
Scripture
as
to
know
what
God
himself
hath
said
concerning
the
shedding
of
mans
blood
;
Gen.
9.
Numb
.
35.
will
tell
you
what
the
punishment
is
,
and
which
this
Court
in
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
are
sensible
of
,
of
that
innocent
blood
that
has
been
shed
,
wherby
indeed
the
Land
stands
stil
defiled
with
that
blood
,
&
as
the
text
hath
it
,
It
can
no
way
be
cleansed
but
with
the
shedding
of
the
blood
of
him
that
shed
this
blood
.
Sir
,
we
know
no
Dispensation
from
this
blood
in
that
Commandment
,
Thou
shalt
do
no
Murther
;
we
do
not
know
but
that
it
extends
to
Kings
,
as
well
as
to
the
meanest
Peasants
,
the
meanest
of
the
People
,
the
Command
is
universal
▪
Sir
,
Gods
Law
forbids
it
,
Mans
Law
forbids
,
nor
do
we
know
that
there
is
any
manner
of
exception
,
not
even
in
mans
Laws
,
for
the
punishment
of
Murther
in
you
.
'T
is
true
,
That
in
the
case
of
Kings
,
every
private
hand
was
not
to
put
forth
it self
to
this
work
for
their
Reformation
and
punishment
.
But
Sir
,
the
People
represented
having
power
in
their
hands
,
had
there
been
but
one
wilful
act
of
Murther
by
you
committed
,
had
power
to
have
convented
you
,
and
to
have
punished
you
for
it
.
But
then
Sir
,
the
weight
that
lies
upon
you
in
all
those
respects
that
have
been
spoken
,
by
reason
of
your
Tyranny
,
Treason
,
breach
of
Trust
,
and
the
Murthers
that
have
been
committed
,
surely
Sir
,
it
must
drive
you
into
a
sad
consideration
concerning
your
eternal
condition
:
as
I
said
at
first
,
I
know
it
cannot
be
pleasing
to
you
to
hear
any
such
things
as
these
are
mentioned
unto
you
from
this
Court
,
for
so
we
do
call
our selves
,
and
justifie
our selves
to
be
a
Court
,
and
a
High
Court
of
Justice
,
authorized
by
the
highest
and
solemnest
Court
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
we
have
often
said
;
and
although
you
do
yet
endeavor
what
you
may
to
dis-court
us
,
yet
we
do
take
knowledg
of
our selves
to
be
such
a
Court
as
can
administer
Justice
to
you
,
and
we
are
bound
Sir
,
in
duty
to
do
it
.
Sir
,
all
I
shall
say
before
the
reading
of
your
Sentence
,
it
is
but
this
;
The
Court
does
heartily
desire
,
that
you
will
seriously
think
of
those
evils
that
you
stand
guilty
of
Sir
,
you
said
well
to
us
the
other
day
,
you
wisht
us
to
have
God
before
our
eyes
,
Truly
Sir
,
I
hope
all
of
us
have
so
,
that
God
that
we
know
is
a
King
of
Kings
,
and
Lord
of
Lords
,
that
God
with
whom
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
,
that
God
that
is
the
avenger
of
innocent
blood
,
we
have
that
God
before
us
,
that
God
that
does
bestow
a
curse
upon
them
that
with-hold
their
hands
from
sheding
of
blood
,
which
is
in
the
case
of
guilty
Malefactors
,
and
that
do
deserve
death
;
That
God
we
have
before
our
eyes
,
and
were
it
not
that
the
conscience
of
our
duty
hath
called
us
unto
this
place
,
and
this
imployment
,
Sir
,
you
should
have
had
no
appearance
of
a
Court
here
:
but
Sir
,
we
must
prefer
the
discharge
of
our
duty
unto
God
,
and
unto
the
Kingdom
,
before
any
other
respect
whatsoever
:
and
although
at
this
time
many
of
us
,
if
not
all
of
us
,
are
severely
threatened
by
some
of
your
party
what
they
intend
to
do
,
Sir
,
we
do
here
declare
,
That
we
shall
not
decline
or
forbear
the
doing
of
our
duty
in
the
administration
of
Justice
even
to
you
,
according
to
the
merit
of
your
offence
,
although
God
should
permit
those
men
to
effect
all
that
bloody
design
in
hand
against
us
.
Sir
,
we
will
say
,
and
we
will
declare
it
,
as
those
Children
in
the
fiery
furnace
,
that
would
not
worship
the
golden
Image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
set
up
▪
That
their
God
was
able
to
deliver
them
from
that
danger
that
they
were
neer
unto
;
but
yet
if
he
would
not
do
it
,
yet
,
notwithstanding
that
,
they
would
not
fall
down
and
worship
the
Image
:
we
shall
thus
apply
it
,
That
though
we
should
not
be
delivered
from
those
bloody
hands
and
hearts
that
conspire
the
overthrow
of
the
Kingdom
in
general
,
of
us
in
particular
,
for
acting
in
this
great
work
of
Justice
,
though
we
should
perish
in
the
work
,
yet
by
Gods
grace
,
and
by
Gods
strength
,
we
will
go
on
with
it
:
And
this
is
all
our
Resolutions
.
Sir
,
I
say
for
your self
,
we
do
heartily
wish
,
and
desire
,
that
God
would
be
pleased
to
give
you
a
sense
of
your
sins
,
that
you
would
see
wherein
you
have
done
amiss
,
that
you
may
cry
unto
him
,
that
God
would
deliver
you
from
blood-guiltiness
.
A
good
King
was
once
guilty
of
that
particular
thing
,
and
was
clear
otherwise
,
saving
in
the
matter
of
Vriah
.
Truly
Sir
,
the
story
tels
us
,
that
he
was
a
repentant
King
,
and
it
signifies
enough
that
he
had
dyed
for
it
,
but
that
God
was
pleased
to
accept
of
him
,
&
to
give
him
his
pardon
,
thou
shalt
not
die
,
but
the
child
shal
die
,
thou
hast
given
cause
to
the
enemies
of
God
to
blaspheme
.
King.
I
would
desire
onely
one
word
before
you
give
sentence
,
and
that
is
,
That
you
would
hear
me
concerning
those
great
imputations
that
you
have
layd
to
my
charge
.
Lord
Presid
.
Sir
,
You
must
give
me
now
leave
to
go
on
,
for
I
am
not
far
from
your
Sentence
,
and
your
time
is
now
past
.
King.
But
I
shall
desire
you
will
hear
me
a
few
words
to
you
,
for
truly
what
ever
Sentence
you
will
put
upon
me
,
in
respect
of
those
heavy
imputations
that
I
see
by
your
speech
you
have
put
upon
me
,
Sir
,
It
is
very
true
that
—
Lord
Pres
.
Sir
,
I
must
put
you
in
minde
.
Truly
Sir
I
would
not
willingly
,
at
this
time
especially
,
interrupt
you
in
any
thing
you
have
to
say
that
is
proper
for
us
to
admit
of
,
but
Sir
,
you
have
not
owned
us
as
a
Court
,
and
you
look
upon
us
as
a
sort
of
people
met
together
,
and
we
know
what
language
we
receive
from
your
party
.
King.
I
know
nothing
of
that
.
Lord
Pres
.
You
dis-avow
us
as
a
Court
,
and
therefore
for
you
to
address
your self
to
us
,
not
to
acknowledg
us
as
a
Court
to
judg
of
what
you
say
,
it
is
not
to
be
permitted
;
and
the
truth
is
,
all
along
from
the
first
time
,
you
were
pleased
to
dis-avow
and
dis-own
us
,
the
Court
needed
not
to
have
heard
you
one
word
;
For
unless
they
be
acknowledged
a
Court
,
and
engaged
,
it
is
not
proper
for
you
to
speak
:
Sir
,
we
have
given
you
too
much
liberty
already
,
and
admitted
of
too
much
delay
,
and
we
may
not
admit
of
any
farther
;
were
it
proper
for
us
to
do
,
we
should
hear
you
freely
,
and
we
should
not
have
declined
to
have
heard
you
at
large
,
what
you
could
have
said
or
proved
on
your
behalf
,
whether
for
totally
excusing
,
or
for
in
part
excusing
those
great
and
hainous
charges
that
in
whole
or
in
part
are
layd
upon
you
.
But
Sir
,
I
shall
trouble
you
no
longer
,
your
sins
are
of
so
large
a
dimension
,
that
if
you
do
but
seriously
think
of
them
,
they
will
drive
you
to
a
sad
consideration
of
it
,
and
they
may
improve
in
you
a
sad
and
serious
repentance
.
And
that
the
Court
doth
heartily
wish
that
you
may
be
so
penitent
for
what
you
have
done
amiss
,
that
God
may
have
mercy
at
least-wise
upon
your
better
part
.
Truly
Sir
,
for
the
other
,
it
is
our
parts
and
duties
to
do
that
that
the
Law
prescribes
,
we
are
not
here
Jus
dare
,
but
Jus
dicere
;
we
cannot
be
unmindful
of
what
the
Scripture
tells
us
,
For
to
acquit
the
guilty
is
of
equal
abomination
as
to
condemn
the
innocent
,
we
may
not
acquit
the
guilty
;
what
sentence
the
Law
affirms
to
a
Traytor
,
Tyrant
,
a
Murtherer
,
and
a
publike
Enemy
to
the
Country
,
that
sentence
you
are
now
to
hear
read
unto
you
,
and
that
is
the
sentence
of
the
Court.
The
Lord
President
commands
the
sentence
to
be
read
.
Make
an
O
yes
,
and
command
silence
while
the
sentence
is
read
.
O
yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Clerk
read
the
sentence
,
which
was
drawn
up
in
parchment
.
Where
as
the
Commons
of
England
in
Parliament
had
appointed
them
an
High
Court
of
Justice
for
the
trying
of
Charls
Stuart
King
of
England
,
before
whom
he
had
been
three
times
convented
,
and
at
the
first
time
a
Charge
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
Crimes
and
Misdemeanors
,
was
read
in
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
&c.
Here
the
Clerk
read
the
Charge
.
Which
Charge
being
read
unto
him
as
aforesaid
,
he
the
said
Charls
Stuart
was
required
to
give
his
Answer
,
but
he
refused
so
to
do
,
and
so
exprest
the
several
passages
at
his
Tryal
in
refusing
to
answer
.
For
all
which
Treasons
and
Crimes
,
this
Court
doth
adjudg
,
That
the
said
Charls
Stuart
,
as
a
Tyrant
,
Traytor
,
Murtherer
,
and
a
publique
Enemy
,
shall
be
put
to
Death
,
by
the
severing
his
Head
from
his
Body
.
After
the
sentence
read
,
the
Lord
President
said
;
This
sentence
now
read
and
published
,
it
is
the
act
,
sentence
,
judgment
,
and
resolution
of
the
whole
Court.
Here
the
Court
stood
up
,
as
assenting
to
what
the
President
said
.
King.
Will
you
hear
me
a
word
Sir
?
Lord
Pres
.
Sir
,
you
are
not
to
be
heard
after
the
sentence
.
King.
No
Sir
?
Lord
Presid
.
No
Sir
,
by
your
favor
Sir.
Guard
,
withdraw
your
Prisoner
.
King
I
may
speak
after
the
sentence
—
By
your
favor
Sir
,
I
may
speak
after
the
sentence
ever
.
By
your
favor
(
hold
)
the
sentence
Sir
—
I
say
Sir
I
do
—
I
am
not
suffered
for
to
speak
,
expect
what
Justice
other
people
will
have
.
O
Yes
.
All
maner
of
persons
that
have
any
thing
else
to
do
,
are
to
depart
at
this
time
,
and
to
give
their
attendance
in
the
painted
Chamber
,
to
which
place
this
Court
doth
forthwith
adjourn
it self
.
Then
the
Court
rose
,
and
the
King
went
with
his
Guard
to
Sir
Robert
Cottons
,
and
from
thence
to
Whitehall
.
King
Charls
HIS
SPEECH
Made
upon
the
SCAFFOLD
at
Whitehall-Gate
immediately
before
his
Execution
.
Tuesday
,
January
30.
ABout
ten
in
the
Morning
the
King
was
brought
from
St.
James's
,
walking
on
foot
through
the
Park
,
with
a
Regiment
of
Foot
,
part
before
and
part
behinde
him
,
with
Colours
flying
,
Drums
beating
,
his
private
guard
of
Partizans
,
with
some
of
his
Gentlemen
before
,
and
some
behinde
bare-headed
,
Dr
Juxon
next
behinde
him
,
and
Colonel
Thomlinson
(
who
had
the
charge
of
him
)
talking
with
the
King
bare-headed
from
the
Park
,
up
the
stairs
into
the
Gallery
,
and
so
into
the
Cabinet-Chamber
,
where
he
used
to
lie
,
where
he
continued
at
his
Devotion
,
refusing
to
dine
(
having
before
taken
the
Sacrament
)
onely
about
an
hour
before
he
came
forth
,
he
drank
a
glass
of
Claret
wine
,
and
eat
a
piece
of
bread
about
twelve
at
noon
.
From
thence
he
was
accompanyed
by
Dr.
Juxon
,
Colonel
Thomlinson
,
and
other
Officers
,
formerly
appointed
to
attend
him
,
and
the
private
guard
of
Partizans
,
with
Musketiers
on
each
side
,
through
the
Banqueting-house
adjoyning
,
to
which
the
Scaffold
was
erected
,
between
Whitehall-Gate
,
and
the
G
〈…〉
ding
into
the
Gallery
from
S.
James's
:
The
●caffold
was
hung
round
with
black
,
and
the
floor
covered
with
black
,
and
the
Ax
and
Block
layd
in
the
middle
of
the
Scaffold
.
There
were
divers
Companies
of
Foot
,
and
Troops
of
Horse
placed
on
the
one
side
of
the
Scaffold
towards
Kings-street
,
and
on
the
other
side
towards
Charing-Cross
,
and
the
multitudes
of
people
that
came
to
be
Spectators
very
great
.
The
King
being
come
upon
the
Scaffold
,
look'd
very
earnestly
on
the
Block
,
and
asked
Col.
Hacker
if
there
were
no
higher
:
and
then
spake
thus
(
directing
his
Speech
chiefly
to
Col.
Thomlinson
.
)
King.
I
Shall
be
very
little
heard
of
any
body
here
,
I
shall
therefore
speak
a
word
unto
you
here
:
Indeed
I
could
hold
my
peace
very
well
,
if
I
did
not
think
that
holding
my
peace
would
make
some
men
think
,
that
I
did
submit
to
the
guilt
,
as
well
as
to
the
punishment
:
but
I
think
it
is
my
duty
to
God
first
,
and
to
my
Country
,
for
to
clear
my self
both
as
an
honest
man
,
a
good
King
,
and
a
good
Christian
,
I
shall
begin
first
with
my
Innocency
,
Introth
I
think
it
not
very
needful
for
me
to
insist
long
upon
this
,
for
all
the
world
knows
that
I
never
did
begin
a
War
with
the
two
〈◊〉
of
Parliament
,
and
I
call
God
to
witness
,
to
whom
I
must
shortly
make
an
account
,
That
I
never
did
intend
for
to
incroach
upon
their
Priviledges
,
they
began
upon
me
,
it
is
the
Militia
they
began
upon
,
they
confest
that
the
Militia
was
mine
,
but
they
thought
it
fit
for
to
have
it
from
me
:
and
to
be
short
,
if
any
body
will
look
to
the
dates
of
Commissions
,
of
their
Commissions
and
mine
,
and
likewise
to
the
Declarations
,
will
see
clearly
that
they
began
these
unhappy
Troubles
,
not
I
:
so
that
as
the
guilt
of
these
enormous
Crimes
that
are
layd
against
me
,
I
hope
in
God
that
God
will
clear
me
of
it
,
I
will
not
,
I
am
in
charity
:
God
forbid
that
I
should
lay
it
upon
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
there
is
no
necessity
of
either
,
I
hope
they
are
free
of
this
guilt
:
for
I
do
beleeve
that
ill
Instruments
between
them
and
me
,
has
been
the
chief
cause
of
all
this
blood-shed
:
so
that
by
way
of
speaking
,
as
I
finde
my self
clear
of
this
,
I
hope
(
and
pray
God
)
that
they
may
too
:
yet
for
all
this
,
God
forbid
that
I
should
be
so
ill
a
Christian
,
as
not
to
say
that
Gods
judgments
are
just
upon
me
:
Many
times
he
does
pay
Justice
by
an
unjust
Sentence
,
that
is
ordinary
:
I
will
onely
say
this
,
That
an
unjust
Sentence
*
that
I
suffered
for
to
take
effect
,
is
punished
now
by
an
unjust
Sentence
upon
me
,
that
is
,
so
far
I
have
said
,
to
shew
you
that
I
am
an
innocent
man.
Now
for
to
shew
you
that
I
am
a
good
Christian
:
I
hope
there
is
*
a
good
man
that
will
bear
me
witness
,
That
I
have
forgiven
all
the
world
,
and
even
those
in
particular
that
have
been
the
chief
causers
of
my
death
;
who
they
are
,
God
knows
,
I
do
not
desire
to
know
,
I
pray
God
forgive
them
,
But
this
is
not
all
,
my
Charity
must
go
farther
,
I
wish
that
they
may
repent
,
for
indeed
they
have
committed
a
great
sin
in
that
particular
:
I
pray
God
with
St.
Stephen
,
That
this
be
not
layd
to
their
charge
,
nay
,
not
onely
so
,
but
that
they
may
take
the
right
way
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
for
my
Charity
commands
me
,
not
onely
to
forgive
particular
men
,
but
my
Charity
commands
me
to
endeavor
to
the
last
gasp
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
:
So
(
Sirs
)
I
do
wish
with
all
my
Soul
,
and
I
do
hope
(
there
is
*
some
here
will
carry
it
further
)
that
they
may
endeavor
the
Peace
of
the
KINGDOM
.
Now
(
Sirs
)
I
must
shew
you
both
how
you
are
out
of
the
way
,
and
will
put
you
in
〈◊〉
way
:
First
,
you
are
out
of
the
way
,
for
certainly
all
the
way
you
ever
have
had
yet
,
as
I
could
finde
by
any
thing
,
is
in
the
way
of
Conquest
;
certainly
this
is
an
ill
way
,
for
Conquest
(
Sir
)
in
my
opinion
is
never
just
,
except
there
be
a
good
just
Cause
,
either
for
matter
of
Wrong
or
just
Title
,
and
then
if
you
go
beyond
it
,
the
first
quarrel
that
you
have
to
it
,
that
makes
it
unjust
at
the
end
that
was
just
at
first
:
But
if
it
be
onely
matter
of
Conquest
,
then
it
is
a
great
Robbery
:
as
a
Pirat
said
to
Alexander
,
that
He
was
the
great
Robber
,
he
was
but
a
petty
Robber
:
and
so
,
Sir
,
I
do
think
the
way
that
you
are
in
,
is
much
out
of
the
way
.
Now
Sir
,
for
to
put
you
in
the
way
,
beleeve
it
you
will
never
do
right
,
nor
God
will
never
prosper
you
,
until
you
give
God
his
due
,
the
King
his
due
(
that
is
,
my
Successors
)
and
the
People
their
due
:
I
am
as
much
for
them
as
any
of
you
:
You
must
give
God
his
due
,
by
regulating
rightly
his
Church
(
according
to
his
Scripture
)
which
is
now
out
of
order
:
For
to
set
you
in
a
way
particularly
now
I
cannot
,
but
only
this
,
A
National
Synod
freely
called
,
freely
debating
among
themselve
,
must
settle
this
,
when
that
every
Opinion
is
freely
and
clearly
heard
.
For
the
King
,
indeed
I
will
not
(
then
turning
to
a
Gentleman
that
touched
the
Ax
,
said
,
Hurt
not
the
Ax
,
that
may
hurt
me
*
.
For
the
King
)
the
Laws
of
the
Land
will
clearly
instruct
you
for
that
,
therefore
because
it
concerns
my
own
particular
,
I
onely
give
you
a
touch
of
it
.
For
the
people
:
And
truly
I
desire
their
Liberty
and
Freedom
as
much
as
any
body
whomsoever
,
but
I
must
tell
you
,
That
their
Liberty
and
their
Freedom
consists
i●●ving
of
Government
;
those
Laws
,
by
which
their
Life
and
their
Goods
may
be
most
their
own
.
It
is
not
for
having
share
in
Government
(
Sir
)
that
is
nothing
pertaining
to
them
;
A
Subject
and
a
Soveraign
are
clean
different
things
,
and
therefore
until
they
do
that
,
I
mean
,
That
you
do
put
the
People
in
that
Liberty
as
I
say
,
certainly
they
will
never
enjoy
themselves
.
Sirs
,
It
was
for
this
that
now
I
am
come
here
:
If
I
would
have
given
way
to
an
Arbitrary
way
,
for
to
have
all
Laws
changed
according
to
the
power
of
the
Sword
,
I
needed
not
to
have
come
here
,
and
therefore
I
tell
you
(
and
I
pray
God
it
be
not
layd
to
your
charge
)
That
I
am
the
Martyr
of
the
People
.
Introth
Sirs
,
I
shall
not
hold
you
much
longer
,
for
I
will
onely
say
this
to
you
,
That
intruth
I
could
have
desired
some
little
time
longer
,
because
that
I
would
have
put
this
that
I
have
said
in
a
little
more
order
,
and
a
little
better
digested
then
I
have
done
,
and
therefore
I
hope
you
will
excuse
me
.
I
have
delivered
my
Conscience
,
I
pray
God
that
you
do
take
those
courses
that
are
best
for
the
good
of
the
kingdom
&
your
own
salvations
.
Dr.
Juxon
.
Will
your
Majesty
(
though
it
may
be
very
well
known
your
Majesties
affections
to
Religion
,
yet
it
may
be
expected
that
you
should
)
say
somewhat
for
the
Worlds
satisfaction
.
King.
I
thank
you
very
heartily
(
my
Lord
for
that
I
had
almost
forgotten
it
.
Introth
Sirs
,
My
Conscience
in
Religion
I
think
is
very
well
known
to
all
the
world
,
and
therefore
I
declare
before
you
all
,
That
I
dye
a
Christian
,
according
to
the
profession
of
the
Church
of
England
,
as
I
found
it
left
me
by
my
Father
,
and
this
honest
man
*
I
think
will
witness
it
.
Then
turning
to
the
Officers
,
said
;
Sirs
,
excuse
me
for
this
same
,
I
have
a
good
cause
,
and
I
have
a
gracious
God
,
I
will
say
no
more
.
Then
turning
to
Colonel
Hacker
,
he
said
;
Take
care
they
do
not
put
me
to
pain
,
and
Sir
this
,
and
it
please
you
;
But
then
a
Gentleman
coming
neer
the
Ax
,
The
King
said
,
Take
heed
of
the
Ax
,
pray
take
heed
of
the
Ax
,
Then
the
King
speaking
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
I
shall
say
but
very
short
Prayers
,
and
when
I
thrust
out
my
hands
—
Then
the
King
called
to
Doctor
Juxon
for
his
Night-cap
,
and
having
put
it
on
,
he
said
to
the
Executioner
,
Does
my
hair
trouble
you
?
who
desired
him
to
put
it
al●
under
his
Cap
,
which
the
King
did
accordingly
by
the
help
of
the
Executioner
and
the
Bishop
:
Then
the
King
turning
to
Doctor
Juxon
,
said
,
I
have
a
good
Cause
and
a
gracious
God
on
my
side
.
Doctor
Juxon
.
There
is
but
one
Stage
more
.
This
Stage
is
turbulent
and
troublesom
;
it
is
a
short
one
:
But
you
may
consider
,
it
will
soon
carry
you
a
very
great
way
:
it
will
carry
you
from
earth
to
heaven
;
and
there
you
shall
find
a
great
deal
of
cordial
joy
and
comfort
.
King.
I
go
from
a
corruptible
to
an
incorruptible
Crown
;
where
no
disturbance
can
be
,
no
disturbance
in
the
world
.
Doctor
Juxon
.
You
are
exchanged
from
a
Temporal
to
an
Eternal
Crown
,
a
good
exchange
.
The
King
then
said
to
the
Executioner
,
is
my
hair
well
?
Then
the
King
took
off
His
Cloak
and
his
George
,
giving
his
George
to
Doctor
Iuxon
,
saying
,
Remember
*
—
Then
the
King
put
off
his
Dublet
,
and
being
in
his
Wastcoat
,
put
his
Cloak
on
again
,
then
looking
upon
the
Block
,
said
to
the
Executioner
,
You
must
set
it
fast
.
Executioner
.
It
is
fast
Sir.
King.
It
might
have
been
a
little
higher
.
Executioner
.
It
can
be
no
higher
Sir.
King.
When
I
put
out
my
hands
this
way
,
*
then
—
After
that
having
said
two
or
three
words
(
as
he
stood
)
to
himself
,
with
hands
and
Eyes
lift
up
;
Immediately
stooping
down
,
laid
his
neck
upon
the
Block
:
And
then
the
Executioner
again
putting
his
hair
under
his
Cap
,
the
King
said
(
Thinking
he
had
been
going
to
strike
)
stay
for
the
sign
.
Executioner
.
Yes
,
I
will
,
and
it
please
your
Majesty
.
And
after
a
very
little
pawse
,
the
King
stretching
forth
his
hands
,
The
Executioner
at
one
blow
severed
his
head
from
his
body
.
That
when
the
Kings
head
was
cut
off
,
the
Executioner
held
it
up
,
and
shewed
it
to
the
Spectators
.
And
his
Body
was
put
in
a
Coffin
covered
with
black
Velvet
for
that
purpose
,
and
conveyed
into
his
Lodgings
there
:
And
from
thence
it
was
carried
to
his
house
at
S.
Iames's
,
where
his
body
was
put
in
a
Coffin
of
lead
,
laid
there
to
be
seen
by
the
people
;
and
about
a
fortnight
after
it
was
carried
to
Windsor
,
accompanied
with
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
the
Marquess
of
Hartford
,
and
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
and
Doctor
Iuxon
,
late
Bishop
of
London
,
and
others
,
and
Interred
in
the
Cappel-Royal

with
King
Henry
the

,
having
only
this
Inscription
upon
his
Coffin

Friday
the

of

of
the
Sentence
of
Death
upon
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
,
the
Earl
of
Holland
,
and
the
Lord
Capel
,
about
ten
of
the
Clock
that
morning
L.
Col.
Beecher
came
with
his
Order
to
the
several
Prisoners
at
S.
Iames's
requiring
them
to
come
away
;
According
to
which
Order
they
were
carried
in
Sedans
with
a
Guard
,
to
Sir
Thomas
Cottons
house
at
Westminster
,
where
they
continued
about
the
space
of
two
hours
,
passing
away
most
of
that
time
in
Religious
and
seasonable
Conferences
with
the
Ministers
there
present
with
them
.
After
which
,
being
called
away
to
the
Scaffold
,
it
was
desired
,
that
before
they
went
,
they
might
have
the
opportunity
of
commending
their
souls
to
God
by
Prayer
,
which
being
readily
granted
,
and
the
room
voyded
,
Mr.
Bolton
was
desired
by
the
Lord
of
Holland
to
take
the
pains
with
them
,
which
was
accordingly
done
with
great
appearance
of
solemn
Affection
among
them
.
Prayer
being
concluded
,
and
hearty
thanks
returned
by
them
all
to
the
Minister
who
performed
,
as
also
to
the
rest
who
were
their
assistants
in
this
sad
time
of
trouble
;
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
prepared
first
to
go
towards
the
place
of
Execution
;
and
after
mutual
embraces
,
and
some
short
ejaculatory
expressions
,
to
and
for
his
Fellow-sufferers
,
he
took
his
leave
of
them
all
,
and
went
along
with
the
Officers
,
attended
upon
by
Dr.
Sibbald
,
whom
he
had
chosen
for
his
Comforter
in
this
his
sad
condition
.
The
Scaffold
being
erected
in
the
new
Pallace-yard
at
Westminster
,
over
against
the
great
Hal-Gate
,
in
the
sight
of
the
place
where
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
formerly
sate
(
the
Hal-doors
being
open
,
)
there
was
his
Excellencies
Regiment
of
Horse
commanded
by
Cap.
Disher
,
and
several
Companies
of
Col.
Hewsons
and
Colonel
Prides
Regiments
of
Foot
drawn
up
in
the
place
:
When
the
Earl
came
from
Westminster-Hall
nere
the
Scaffold
,
he
was
met
by
the
Under-sheriff
of
Middlesex
,
and
a
Guard
of
his
men
,
who
took
the
charge
of
him
from
Lievt
.
Col.
Beecher
and
the
Partizans
that
were
his
Guard
;
The
Sheriff
of
London
being
also
,
according
to
command
from
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
;
present
to
see
the
Execution
performed
.
The
Earl
of
Cambridg
being
come
upon
the
Scaffold
,
and
two
of
his
own
servants
waiting
upon
him
,
he
first
spake
to
the
Doctor
as
followeth
:
Earl
of
Cambridg
.
Whether
shall
I
Pray
first
?
Dr.
Sibb●ld
.
As
Your
Lordship
pleases
.
Earl
of
Cambridg
.
My
Lord
of
Denbigh
has
sent
to
speak
with
me
.
I
know
not
the
fashion
.
I
may
ask
you
Sir
;
Do
these
Gentlemen
expect
I
should
say
any
thing
to
them
,
or
no
;
They
cannot
hear
?
Dr.
Sibbald
.
There
will
be
a
greater
silence
by
and
by
.
It
will
not
be
amiss
,
if
your
Lordship
defer
your
speaking
till
you
hear
from
his
Lordship
.
Cambridg
.
There
is
something
in
it
.
He
was
with
the
House
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
I
suppose
he
would
give
no
interruption
to
your
Lordship
,
at
this
time
,
were
there
not
something
of
concernment
in
it
.
Cambridg
.
He
is
my
Brother
,
and
has
been
a
very
faithfull
servant
to
this
State
,
and
he
was
in
great
esteem
and
reputation
with
them
.
He
is
in
the
Hall
,
and
sent
to
speak
with
a
Servant
of
mine
,
to
send
something
to
me
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
It
will
not
lengthen
the
time
much
if
you
stay
while
you
have
a
return
from
him
.
My
Lord
,
you
should
do
well
to
bestow
your
time
now
in
meditating
upon
and
imploring
of
the
Free-mercy
of
God
in
Christ
for
your
Eternall
Salvation
,
and
look
upon
that
ever-streaming
Fountain
of
his
precious
Bloud
,
that
purgeth
us
from
all
our
sins
,
even
the
sins
of
the
deepest
dye
▪
The
Bloud
of
Jesus
Christ
washes
away
all
our
sins
,
and
that
Bloud
of
Christ
is
poured
forth
upon
all
such
as
by
a
lively
Faith
lay
hold
upon
him
.
God
so
loved
the
world
,
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
,
to
the
end
,
that
whosoever
believed
in
him
should
not
perish
,
but
have
everlasting
Life
;
That
is
now
,
my
Lord
,
the
Rock
on
which
you
must
chiefly
rest
,
and
labor
to
fix
your self
in
the
Free-mercy
of
God
through
Christ
Jesus
,
whose
mercies
are
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
,
unto
all
such
as
with
the
Eye
of
Faith
behold
him
:
Behold
Jesus
the
Author
and
Finisher
of
your
Salvation
,
who
hath
satisfied
the
Justice
of
God
by
that
Al-sufficiency
of
his
Sacrifice
,
which
once
for
all
he
offered
upon
the
Cross
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
World
,
so
that
the
sting
of
Death
is
taken
away
from
all
believers
,
and
he
hath
sanctified
it
as
a
passage
to
everlasting
blessedness
:
It
is
true
,
the
Waters
of
Iordan
run
somewhat
rough
and
surly
,
betwixt
the
Wilderness
and
our
passage
into
Canaan
;
but
let
us
rest
upon
the
Ark
(
my
Lord
)
the
Ark
Christ
Iesus
,
that
will
carry
us
through
and
above
all
those
waves
to
that
Rock
of
Ages
,
which
no
flood
nor
waves
can
reach
unto
,
and
to
him
who
is
yesterday
,
to
day
,
and
the
same
for
ever
,
against
whom
the
Powers
and
Principalities
,
the
Gates
of
Hell
,
shall
never
be
able
to
prevail
;
Lift
up
and
fasten
your
eyes
now
upon
Christ
Crucified
,
and
labor
to
behold
Iesus
standing
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
,
(
as
the
Protomartyr
Stephen
)
ready
to
receive
your
Soul
,
when
it
shall
be
separated
from
this
Frail
and
Mortal
body
:
Alas
,
no
man
would
desire
Life
,
if
he
knew
before-hand
what
it
were
to
live
,
it
is
nothing
but
sorrow
,
vexation
and
trouble
,
grief
and
discontent
that
waits
upon
every
condition
,
whether
publique
or
private
;
in
every
station
and
calling
there
are
several
miseries
and
troubles
that
are
inseparable
from
them
;
Therefore
what
a
blessed
thing
it
is
to
have
a
speedy
and
comfortable
passage
out
of
this
raging
sea
,
into
the
Port
of
everlasting
Happiness
:
We
must
pass
through
a
Sea
,
but
it
is
the
Sea
of
Christ
Blood
in
which
never
Soul
suffered
shipwrack
,
in
which
we
must
be
blown
with
winds
and
Tempests
,
but
they
are
the
Gales
of
Gods
Spirit
upon
us
,
which
blow
away
all
contrary
winds
of
diffidence
in
his
Mercy
.
Here
one
acquainting
the
Earl
,
his
servant
was
coming
,
he
answered
,
So
Sir
;
And
turning
to
the
under-Sheriffs
son
,
said
,
Cambridg
.
Sir
,
have
you
your
Warrant
here
?
Sheriff
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
we
have
a
Command
.
Cambridg
.
A
Command
.
I
take
this
time
,
Sir
,
of
staying
,
in
regard
of
the
Earl
of
Denbighs
sending
to
speak
with
me
;
I
know
not
for
what
he
desires
me
to
stay
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
I
presume
Mr.
Sheriff
will
not
grudg
your
Lordship
a
few
minutes
time
,
when
so
great
a
work
as
this
is
in
hand
.
His
Lordships
servant
being
returned
,
and
having
delivered
his
Message
to
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
privately
,
he
said
,
So
,
it
is
done
now
;
and
then
turning
to
the
Front
of
the
Scaffold
,
before
which
(
as
in
all
the
rest
of
the
Pallace
)
there
was
a
great
concourse
of
people
,
He
said
;
Earl
of
Cambridg
.
I
think
it
is
truly
not
very
necessary
for
me
to
speak
much
,
there
are
many
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
there
that
sees
me
,
but
my
voyce
is
so
weak
,
so
low
,
that
they
cannot
hear
me
,
neither
truly
was
I
ever
at
any
time
so
much
in
love
with
speaking
,
or
with
any
thing
I
had
to
express
,
that
I
took
delight
in
it
;
yet
this
being
the
last
time
that
I
am
to
do
so
,
by
a
Divine
Providence
of
Almighty
God
,
who
hath
brought
me
to
this
end
justly
for
my
sins
.
I
shall
to
you
Sir
,
Mr.
Sheriff
,
declare
thus
much
,
as
to
the
matter
that
I
am
now
to
suffer
for
,
which
is
,
as
being
a
Traytor
to
the
Kingdom
of
England
:
Truly
Sir
,
it
was
a
Country
that
I
equally
loved
with
my
own
,
I
made
no
difference
,
I
never
intended
either
the
generality
of
it's
prejudice
,
or
any
particular
mans
in
it
;
What
I
did
was
by
the
Command
of
the
Parliament
of
the
Country
where
I
was
born
,
whose
Commands
I
could
not
disobey
,
without
running
into
the
same
hazard
there
,
of
that
condition
that
I
am
now
in
:
The
ends
,
Sir
,
of
that
Engagement
is
publique
,
they
are
in
Print
,
and
so
I
shall
not
need
to
specifie
them
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
The
Sun
perhaps
will
be
too
much
in
your
Lordships
face
;
as
you
speak
.
Cambridg
.
No
Sir
,
it
will
not
burn
it
.
I
hope
I
shall
see
a
brighter
Sun
then
this
Sir
,
very
speedily
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
The
Sun
of
Righteousness
.
my
Lord.
Cambridg
.
(
But
to
that
which
I
was
saying
Sir.
)
It
pleased
God
so
to
dispose
that
Army
under
my
Command
,
as
it
was
ruined
;
and
I
,
as
their
General
,
clothed
with
a
Commission
,
stand
here
,
now
ready
to
dye
;
I
shall
not
trouble
you
with
repeating
of
my
Plea
,
what
I
said
in
my
own
Defence
at
the
Court
of
JUSTICE
,
my self
being
satisfied
with
the
Commands
that
are
laid
upon
me
,
and
they
satisfied
with
the
justness
of
their
procedure
,
according
to
the
Laws
of
this
Land.
God
is
just
,
and
howsoever
I
shall
not
say
any
thing
as
to
the
matter
of
the
Sentence
,
but
that
I
do
willingly
submit
to
his
Divine
Providence
,
and
acknowledg
that
very
many
ways
I
deserve
even
a
wordly
punishment
,
as
well
as
hereafter
,
for
we
are
all
sinful
,
Sir
,
and
I
a
great
one
;
yet
for
my
comfort
I
know
there
is
a
God
heaven
that
is
exceeding
merciful
;
I
know
my
Redeemer
sits
at
his
right
hand
,
and
am
confident
(
clapping
his
hand
to
his
brest
)
is
mediating
for
me
at
this
instant
,
I
am
hopeful
through
his
Free-Grace
and
al-sufficient
merits
,
to
be
,
pardoned
of
my
sins
,
and
to
be
received
into
his
mercy
,
upon
that
I
rely
,
trusting
to
nothing
but
▪
the
Free-Grace
of
God
through
Jesus
Christ
,
I
have
not
been
tainted
with
my
Religion
I
thank
God
for
it
,
since
my
Infancy
it
hath
been
such
as
hath
been
profest
in
the
Land
,
and
established
,
and
now
't
is
not
this
Religion
,
or
that
Religion
,
nor
this
or
that
fancy
of
men
that
is
to
be
built
upon
,
t
is
but
one
that
's
right
,
one
that
's
sure
,
and
that
comes
from
God.
Sir
,
and
in
the
Free-Grace
of
our
Saviour
.
Sir
,
there
is
truly
something
that
*
(
had
I
thought
my
Speech
would
have
been
thus
taken
)
I
would
have
digested
it
into
some
better
method
then
now
I
can
,
and
shall
desire
these
Gentlemen
that
does
write
it
,
that
they
will
not
wrong
me
in
it
,
and
that
it
may
not
in
this
manner
be
published
to
my
disadvantage
,
for
truly
I
did
not
intend
to
have
spoken
thus
when
I
came
here
.
There
is
,
Sirs
,
terrible
Aspersions
has
been
laid
upon
my self
;
truly
such
as
,
I
thank
God
,
I
am
very
free
from
;
as
if
my
actions
and
intentions
had
not
been
such
as
they
were
pretended
for
;
but
that
notwithstanding
what
I
pretended
it
was
for
the
King
,
there
was
nothing
less
intended
then
to
serve
him
in
it
.
I
was
bred
with
him
for
many
years
,
I
was
his
Domestique
servant
,
and
there
was
nothing
declar'd
by
the
Parliament
,
that
was
not
really
intended
by
me
;
and
truly
in
it
I
ventured
my
Life
one
way
,
and
now
I
loose
it
another
way
:
and
that
was
one
of
the
ends
,
as
to
the
King
;
I
speak
only
of
that
,
because
the
rest
has
many
particulars
,
and
to
clear
my self
from
so
horrid
an
Aspersion
as
is
laid
upon
me
:
neither
was
there
any
other
design
known
to
me
by
the
incoming
of
that
Army
,
then
what
is
really
in
the
Declaration
published
.
His
Person
,
I
do
profess
,
I
had
reason
to
love
,
as
he
was
my
King
,
and
as
he
had
been
my
Master
:
it
has
pleased
God
now
to
dispose
of
him
,
so
as
it
cannot
be
thought
flattery
to
have
said
this
,
or
any
end
in
me
for
the
saying
of
it
,
but
to
free
my self
from
that
Calumny
which
lay
upon
me
:
I
cannot
gain
by
it
;
yet
truth
is
that
which
we
shall
gain
by
for
ever
.
There
hath
been
much
spoken
,
Sir
,
of
an
invitation
into
this
Kingdom
:
it
's
mentioned
in
that
Declaration
,
and
truly
to
that
I
did
,
and
do
remit
my self
:
and
I
have
been
very
much
laboured
for
discoveries
of
these
Inviters
.
'T
is
no
time
to
dissemble
.
How
willing
I
was
to
have
served
this
Nation
in
any
thing
that
was
in
my
power
,
is
known
to
very
many
honest
Pious
and
Religious
men
;
and
how
ready
I
would
have
been
to
have
done
what
I
could
to
have
served
them
,
if
it
had
pleased
them
to
have
preserved
my
Life
,
in
whose
hands
there
was
a
power
:
They
have
not
thought
it
fit
,
and
so
I
am
become
unuseful
in
that
which
willingly
I
would
have
done
.
As
I
said
at
first
,
Sir
,
so
I
say
now
concerning
that
point
;
I
wish
the
Kingdoms
happiness
,
I
wish
its
peace
;
and
truly
Sir
,
I
wish
that
this
bloud
of
mine
may
be
the
last
that
is
drawn
:
and
howsoever
I
may
perhaps
have
some
reluctancie
with
my
my self
as
to
the
matter
of
my
suffering
,
for
my
Fact
,
yet
I
freely
forgive
all
;
Sir
,
I
carry
no
rancor
along
with
me
to
my
grave
:
His
will
be
done
that
has
created
both
heaven
and
earth
,
and
me
a
poor
miserable
sinful
creature
now
speaking
before
him
.
For
me
to
speak
,
Sir
,
to
you
of
State-business
,
and
the
Government
of
the
Kingdom
,
or
my
opinion
in
that
,
or
for
any
thing
in
that
nature
,
Truly
it
is
to
no
end
,
it
contributes
nothing
:
My
own
inclination
hath
been
to
Peace
,
from
the
begining
;
and
it
is
known
to
many
,
that
I
never
was
an
ill
instrument
betwixt
the
King
and
his
People
;
I
never
acted
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Parliament
;
I
bore
no
Arms
,
I
medled
not
with
it
;
I
was
not
wanting
by
my
Prayers
to
God
Almighty
for
the
happiness
of
the
King
;
and
truly
I
shall
pray
still
,
that
God
may
so
direct
him
as
that
may
be
done
which
shall
tend
to
his
Glory
,
and
the
peace
and
happiness
of
the
Kingdome
.
I
have
not
much
more
to
say
,
that
I
remember
of
;
I
think
I
have
spoken
of
my
Religion
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
Your
Lordship
has
not
so
fully
said
it
.
Cambridg
.
Truly
I
do
believe
I
did
say
something
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
I
know
you
did
,
't
is
pleasing
to
hear
it
from
your
Lordship
again
.
Cambridg
.
Truly
Sir
,
for
the
Profession
of
my
Religion
,
That
which
I
said
was
the
established
Religion
,
and
that
which
I
have
practised
in
my
own
Kingdom
where
I
was
born
and
bred
;
my
Tenents
they
need
not
to
be
exprest
,
they
are
known
to
all
,
and
I
am
not
of
a
rigid
opinion
;
many
Godly
men
there
is
,
that
may
have
scruples
which
do
not
concern
me
at
all
at
no
time
;
they
may
differ
in
opinion
,
and
more
now
then
at
any
time
;
differing
in
Opinion
does
not
move
me
(
not
any
mans
)
my
own
is
clear
:
Sir
,
The
Lord
forgive
me
my
sins
,
and
I
forgive
freely
all
those
,
that
even
I
might
as
a
Wordly
man
,
have
the
greatest
animosity
against
;
We
are
bidden
to
forgive
;
Sir
,
'T
is
a
Command
laid
upon
us
(
and
there
mentioned
)
Forgive
us
our
Trespasses
,
as
We
forgive
them
that
trespass
against
us
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
'T
is
our
Saviours
Rule
,
Love
your
Enemies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
you
,
Pray
for
them
that
Persecute
you
,
do
good
to
them
which
despightfully
use
you
.
Cambridg
.
Sir
,
it
is
high
time
for
me
to
make
an
end
of
this
,
and
truly
I
remember
no
more
that
I
have
to
say
,
but
to
pray
to
God
Almighty
a
few
words
,
and
then
I
have
done
.
Then
kneeling
down
with
Doctor
Sibbald
,
He
prayed
thus
.
MOST
Blessed
Lord
,
I
thy
poor
and
most
unworthy
Servant
come
to
th●●
,
presuming
in
thy
infinite
mercy
and
the
merits
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
sits
upon
the
Throne
,
I
come
flying
from
that
of
Justice
,
to
that
of
mercy
,
and
tenderness
for
his
sake
which
shed
his
bloud
for
sinners
,
that
he
would
take
compassion
upon
me
,
that
he
will
look
upon
me
as
one
that
graciously
hears
me
,
that
he
would
look
upon
me
as
one
that
hath
redeemed
me
,
that
he
would
look
upon
me
as
one
that
hath
shed
his
bloud
for
me
,
that
he
would
look
upon
me
as
one
who
now
cals
and
hopes
to
be
saved
by
his
Al-sufficient
merits
;
for
his
sake
,
Glorious
God
,
have
compassion
upon
me
in
the
freeness
of
thy
infinite
mercy
,
that
when
this
sinful
Soul
of
mine
shall
depart
out
of
this
frail
carcass
of
clay
,
I
may
be
carried
into
thy
everlasting
Glory
;
O
Lord
,
by
thy
Free-Grace
,
and
out
of
thy
infinite
mercy
hear
me
,
and
look
down
,
and
have
compassion
upon
me
;
and
thou
Lord
Iesus
,
thou
my
Lord
,
and
thou
my
God
,
and
thou
my
Redeemer
,
hear
me
,
take
pitty
upon
me
,
take
pitty
upon
me
gracious
God
,
and
so
deal
with
my
soul
,
that
by
thy
precious
merits
I
may
attain
to
thy
Ioy
and
Bliss
;
O
Lord
,
remember
me
so
miserable
and
sinful
a
creature
;
Now
thou
O
Lord
,
thou
O
Lord
that
dyed
for
me
,
receive
me
,
and
receive
me
into
thy
own
bound
of
mercy
;
O
Lord
I
trust
in
thee
,
suffer
me
not
now
to
be
confounded
,
Satan
has
had
too
long
possession
of
this
soule
,
O
let
him
not
now
prevail
against
it
,
but
let
me
,
O
Lord
,
from
henceforth
dwell
with
thee
for
evermore
.
Now
Lord
it
is
thy
time
to
hear
me
,
hear
me
gracious
Iesus
,
even
for
thy
own
goodness
,
mercy
,
and
truth
;
O
Glorious
God
,
O
blessed
Father
,
O
holy
Redeemer
,
O
gracious
Comforter
,
O
holy
and
blessed
Trinity
,
I
doe
render
up
my
soul
into
thy
hands
,
and
commit
it
with
the
mediation
of
my
Redeemer
,
praising
thee
for
all
thy
dispensation
that
it
has
pleased
thee
to
confer
upon
me
,
and
even
for
this
,
praise
,
and
honor
,
and
thanks
of
this
time
forth
for
evermore
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
My
Lord
,
I
trust
you
now
behold
with
the
Eye
of
Faith
the
Son
of
Righteousness
shining
upon
your
soul
,
and
will
chearfully
submit
unto
him
,
who
hath
redeemed
us
through
his
bloud
,
even
the
bloud
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
you
may
appear
at
the
Tribunal
of
God
,
clothed
with
the
white
robe
of
his
unspoted
Righteousness
;
The
Lord
grant
that
with
the
eye
of
Faith
you
may
now
see
the
heavens
opened
,
and
Jesus
Christ
standing
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
ready
to
receive
you
into
his
arms
of
mercy
.
Cambridg
.
Then
the
Earl
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
shall
I
put
on
another
Cap
,
must
this
hair
be
turned
up
from
my
neck
?
there
are
three
of
my
servants
to
give
satisfaction
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
you
are
able
to
give
all
that
are
about
you
satisfaction
,
you
are
assured
that
God
is
reconciled
unto
you
through
the
bloud
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
witnesseth
to
you
that
Christ
is
become
now
a
Jesus
unto
you
;
My
Lord
,
fasten
the
eyes
of
your
Faith
upon
Jesus
the
Author
and
finisher
of
your
salvation
,
who
himself
was
brought
to
a
violent
death
for
the
redemption
of
mankinde
,
he
chearfully
submitted
to
his
Fathers
good
pleasure
in
it
,
and
for
us
,
blessed
and
holy
is
he
that
has
part
(
my
Lord
)
in
the
first
resurrection
;
That
is
,
in
the
first
riser
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
both
the
Resurrection
and
the
Life
,
over
him
the
second
death
shall
have
no
power
,
't
is
the
unspeakable
joy
of
a
believer
.
That
at
the
hour
of
death
his
soul
hath
an
immediate
passage
from
this
earthly
Tabernacle
to
that
Region
of
endless
Glory
,
yea
,
to
the
presence
of
God
himself
,
in
whose
presence
there
is
fulness
of
joy
,
and
at
whose
right
hand
there
are
pleasures
for
evermore
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
which
way
is
it
that
you
would
have
me
lie
▪
Sir
?
Executioner
.
The
Executioner
pointing
to
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
The
Earl
replyed
,
What
,
my
head
this
way
?
Then
the
Under-sheriffs
son
,
said
;
My
Lord
,
the
Order
is
that
you
should
lay
your
head
towards
the
High-Court
of
Justice
.
The
Earl
of
Cambridg
,
after
a
little
discourse
in
private
with
some
of
his
servants
▪
kneeled
down
on
the
side
of
the
Scaffold
,
and
prayed
a
while
to
himself
.
When
he
had
finished
his
prayers
,
D.
Sibbald
spake
to
him
thus
:
My
Lord
,
I
humbly
beseech
God
,
That
you
may
now
with
a
holy
and
Christian
courage
give
up
your
soul
to
the
hand
of
your
Faithful
Creator
and
gracious
Redeemer
;
and
not
be
dismaied
with
any
sad
apprehension
of
the
Terrors
of
this
death
:
And
what
a
blessed
and
glorious
exchange
you
shall
make
within
a
very
few
minutes
!
Then
with
a
Chearful
and
smiling
Countenance
,
The
Earl
embracing
the
Dr.
in
his
Arms
said
,
Cambridg
.
Truly
Sir
,
I
do
take
you
in
mine
arms
,
and
truly
,
I
bless
God
for
it
,
I
do
not
fear
,
I
have
an
assurance
that
is
grounded
here
;
(
laying
his
hand
upon
his
heart
.
)
Now
that
gives
me
more
true
joy
then
ever
I
had
,
I
pass
out
of
a
miserable
world
to
go
into
an
Eternal
and
glorious
Kingdom
;
and
Sir
,
though
I
have
been
a
most
sinful
creature
,
yet
Gods
mercy
I
know
is
infinite
,
and
I
bless
my
God
for
it
,
I
go
with
so
clear
a
Conscience
,
That
I
know
not
the
man
that
I
have
personally
injured
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
a
marvellous
great
satisfaction
that
at
this
last
hour
you
can
say
so
,
I
beseech
the
Lord
for
his
eternal
mercy
strengthen
your
faith
,
that
in
the
very
moment
of
your
dissolution
,
you
may
see
the
arms
of
the
Lord
Jesus
stretched
out
ready
to
receive
your
soul
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
embracing
those
his
servants
which
were
there
present
,
said
to
each
of
them
,
You
have
been
very
faithful
to
me
,
and
the
Lord
bless
you
.
Cambridg
.
Then
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
I
shall
say
a
very
short
prayer
to
my
God
,
while
I
lie
down
there
:
and
when
I
stretch
out
my
hand
(
my
right
hand
)
then
Sir
,
do
your
duty
;
and
I
do
freely
forgive
you
,
and
so
I
do
all
the
world
.
Dr.
Sibbald
.
The
Lord
in
great
mercy
go
along
with
you
,
and
bring
you
to
the
possession
of
everlasting
life
,
strengthening
your
Faith
in
Jesus
Christ
.
This
is
a
passage
,
my
Lord
,
a
short
passage
unto
eternal
glory
.
I
hope
,
through
the
free
grace
of
your
gracious
God
,
you
are
now
able
to
say
,
O
Death
,
where
is
thy
sting
?
O
Grave
!
where
is
thy
victory
?
and
to
make
this
comfortable
answer
,
Blessed
be
God
,
blessed
be
God
,
who
hath
given
me
an
assurance
of
victory
through
Christ
Jesus
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Cambridg
said
to
the
Executioner
,
Must
I
lie
all
along
?
Execut.
Yes
,
and
't
please
your
Lordship
.
Camb.
When
I
stretch
out
my
hands
—
but
I
will
fit
my
Head
,
first
,
tell
me
if
I
be
right
,
and
how
you
would
have
me
lie
.
Execut.
Your
shirt
must
be
pin'd
back
,
for
it
lies
too
high
upon
your
shoulders
,
(
which
was
done
accordingly
.
)
Dr
Sibbald
.
My
Lord
,
now
,
now
lift
up
your
eyes
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
and
cast
your self
now
into
the
everlasting
arms
of
your
most
gracious
Redeemer
.
Then
the
Earl
having
layd
his
Head
over
the
Block
,
said
,
Is
this
right
?
Dr
Sibbald
.
Jesus
the
Son
of
David
,
have
mercy
upon
you
.
Execut.
Lie
a
little
lower
Sir.
Camb.
Well
,
stay
then
till
I
give
you
the
signe
.
And
so
having
layn
a
short
space
devoutly
praying
to
himself
,
he
stretched
out
his
right
hand
,
whereupon
the
Executioner
at
one
blow
severed
his
Head
from
his
Body
,
which
was
received
by
two
of
his
Servants
,
then
kneeling
by
him
,
into
a
Crimsion
Taffety
Scarf
,
and
that
with
the
Body
immediately
put
into
a
Coffin
,
brought
upon
the
Scaffold
for
that
purpose
,
and
from
thence
conveyed
to
the
house
that
was
Sir
JOHN
HAMILTONS
at
the
Me●●es
,
where
it
now
remains
.
This
execution
being
done
,
the
Sheriffs
Guard
went
immediately
to
meet
the
Earl
of
Holland
,
which
they
did
in
the
mid
way
between
the
Scaffold
and
Westminster-Hall
,
and
the
Under-Sheriffs
son
having
received
him
into
his
charge
,
conducted
him
to
the
Scaffold
,
he
taking
Mr.
Bolton
all
the
way
in
his
hand
,
passed
all
along
to
the
Scaffold
discoursing
together
:
upon
which
being
come
,
observing
his
voyce
would
not
reach
to
the
people
,
in
regard
the
Guard
compassed
the
Scaffold
,
he
said
:
Holland
.
It
is
to
no
purpose
(
I
think
)
to
speak
any
thing
here
.
Which
way
must
I
speak
?
And
then
being
directed
to
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
he
(
leaning
over
the
rails
)
said
;
I
think
it
is
fit
to
say
something
,
since
God
hath
called
me
to
this
place
.
The
first
thing
which
I
must
profess
,
is
,
what
concerns
my
Religion
,
and
my
breading
,
which
hath
been
in
a
good
Family
that
hath
ever
been
faithful
to
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
in
the
which
I
have
been
bred
,
in
the
which
I
have
lived
,
and
in
the
which
by
Gods
grace
and
mercy
I
shall
dye
.
I
have
not
lived
according
to
that
education
I
had
in
that
Family
where
I
was
born
and
bred
:
I
hope
God
will
forgive
me
my
sins
,
since
I
conceive
that
it
is
very
much
his
pleasure
to
bring
me
to
this
place
for
the
sins
that
I
have
committed
.
The
cause
that
hath
brought
me
hither
,
I
beleeve
by
many
hath
been
much
mistaken
:
They
have
conceived
that
I
have
had
ill
designs
to
the
State
,
and
to
the
Kingdom
:
Truly
I
look
upon
it
as
a
Judgment
,
and
a
just
Judgment
of
God
;
not
but
I
have
offended
so
much
the
State
,
and
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Parliament
,
as
that
I
have
had
an
extream
vanity
in
serving
them
very
extra-ordinarily
.
For
those
actions
that
I
have
done
,
I
think
it
is
known
they
have
been
ever
very
faithful
to
the
Publique
,
and
very
particularly
to
Parliaments
.
My
affections
have
been
ever
exprest
truly
and
clearly
to
them
.
The
dispositions
of
affairs
now
have
put
things
in
another
pasture
then
they
were
when
I
was
engaged
with
the
Parliament
.
I
have
never
gone
off
from
those
principles
that
ever
I
have
professed
:
I
have
lived
in
them
,
and
by
Gods
grace
will
dye
in
them
.
There
may
be
alterations
and
changes
that
may
carry
them
further
then
I
thought
reasonable
,
and
truly
there
I
left
them
:
but
there
hath
been
nothing
that
I
have
said
,
or
done
,
or
professed
,
either
by
Covenant
,
or
Declaration
,
which
hath
not
been
very
constant
,
and
very
clear
upon
the
principles
that
I
ever
have
gone
upon
,
which
was
to
serve
the
King
,
the
Parliament
,
Religion
(
I
should
have
said
in
the
first
place
)
the
Common-wealth
,
and
to
seek
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
:
That
made
me
think
it
no
improper
time
,
being
prest-out
by
accidents
and
circumstances
,
to
seek
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
I
thought
was
proper
,
since
there
was
something
then
in
agitation
,
but
nothing
agreed
on
for
sending
Propositions
to
the
King
;
that
was
the
furthest
aym
that
I
had
,
and
truly
beyond
that
I
had
no
intention
,
none
at
all
.
And
God
be
praised
,
although
my
blood
comes
to
be
shed
here
,
there
was
I
think
scarcely
a
drop
of
blood
shed
in
that
action
that
I
was
engaged
in
.
For
the
present
affairs
,
as
they
are
,
I
cannot
tell
how
to
judg
of
them
:
and
truly
they
are
in
such
a
condition
,
as
(
I
conceive
)
no
body
can
make
a
judgment
of
them
:
and
therefore
I
must
make
use
of
my
Prayers
,
rather
then
of
my
opinion
,
which
are
,
that
God
would
bless
this
Kingdom
,
this
Nation
,
this
State
;
that
he
would
settle
it
in
a
way
agreeable
to
what
this
Kingdom
hath
been
happily
governed
under
;
by
a
King
,
by
the
Lords
,
by
the
Commons
:
a
Government
that
(
I
conceive
)
it
hath
flourished
much
under
,
and
I
pray
God
the
change
of
it
bring
not
rather
a
prejudice
,
a
disorder
,
and
a
confusion
,
then
the
contrary
.
I
look
upon
the
Posterity
of
the
King
,
and
truly
my
Conscience
directs
me
to
it
,
to
desire
,
that
if
God
be
pleased
that
these
people
may
look
upon
them
with
that
affection
that
they
ow
,
that
they
may
be
called
in
again
,
&
they
may
be
,
not
through
blood
,
nor
through
disorder
,
admited
again
into
that
power
,
and
to
that
glory
,
that
God
in
their
birth
intended
to
them
.
I
shall
pray
with
all
my
Soul
for
the
happiness
of
this
State
,
of
this
Nation
,
that
the
blood
which
is
here
spilt
,
may
be
even
the
last
which
may
fall
among
us
:
and
truly
I
should
lay
down
my
life
with
as
much
cheerfulness
as
ever
person
did
,
if
I
conceived
that
there
would
no
more
blood
follow
us
:
for
a
State
or
Affairs
that
are
built
upon
blood
,
is
a
foundation
for
the
most
part
that
doth
not
prosper
.
After
the
blessing
that
I
give
to
the
Nation
,
to
the
Kingdom
,
and
truly
to
the
Parliament
,
I
do
wish
with
all
my
heart
,
happiness
,
and
a
blessing
to
all
those
that
have
been
authors
in
this
business
;
and
truly
that
have
been
authors
in
this
very
work
that
bringeth
us
hither
:
I
do
not
onely
forgive
them
,
but
I
pray
heartily
and
really
for
them
;
as
God
will
forgive
my
sins
,
so
I
desire
God
may
forgive
them
.
I
have
a
particular
relation
as
I
am
Chancellor
of
Cambridg
,
and
truly
I
must
here
,
since
it
is
the
last
of
my
prayers
,
pray
to
God
that
that
Vniversity
may
go
on
in
that
happy
way
which
it
is
in
,
that
God
may
make
it
a
Nursery
to
plant
those
persons
that
may
be
distributed
to
the
Kingdom
,
that
the
Souls
of
the
people
may
receive
a
great
benefit
,
and
a
great
advantage
by
them
,
and
(
I
hope
)
God
will
reward
them
for
their
kindness
,
and
their
affections
that
I
have
found
from
them
.
*
I
have
said
what
Religion
I
have
been
bred
in
,
what
Religion
I
have
been
born
in
,
what
Religion
I
have
practised
;
I
began
with
it
,
and
I
must
end
with
it
.
I
told
you
that
my
actions
and
my
life
have
not
been
agreeable
to
my
breeding
,
I
have
told
you
likewise
that
the
Family
where
I
was
bred
hath
been
an
exemplary
Family
(
I
may
say
so
I
hope
,
without
vanity
)
of
much
affection
to
Religion
,
and
of
much
faithfulness
to
this
Kingdom
,
and
to
this
State.
I
have
endeavored
to
do
those
actions
that
have
become
an
honest
man
,
and
which
became
a
good
Englishman
,
and
which
became
a
good
Christian
.
I
have
been
willing
to
oblige
those
that
have
been
in
trouble
,
those
that
have
been
in
persecution
,
and
truly
I
finde
a
great
reward
of
it
;
for
I
have
found
their
prayers
and
their
kindness
now
in
this
distress
,
and
in
this
condition
I
am
in
,
and
I
think
it
a
great
reward
,
and
I
pray
God
reward
them
for
it
.
I
am
a
great
sinner
,
and
I
hope
God
will
be
pleased
to
hear
my
prayers
,
to
give
me
faith
to
trust
in
him
,
that
as
he
hath
called
me
to
death
at
this
place
,
he
will
make
it
but
a
passage
to
an
eternal
life
through
Jesus
Christ
,
which
I
trust
to
,
which
I
rely
upon
,
and
which
I
expect
by
the
mercy
of
God.
And
so
I
pray
God
bless
you
all
,
and
send
that
you
may
see
this
to
be
the
last
execution
,
and
the
last
blood
that
is
likely
to
be
spilt
among
you
.
And
then
turning
to
the
side-rail
,
he
prayed
for
a
good
space
of
time
;
after
which
Mr
Bolton
said
:
My
Lord
,
now
look
upon
him
whom
you
have
trusted
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
that
here
is
your
last
prayer
:
there
will
no
more
prayers
remain
,
but
praises
:
And
I
hope
that
after
this
day
is
over
,
there
will
a
day
begin
that
shall
never
have
end
:
And
I
look
upon
this
(
my
Lord
)
the
morning
of
it
,
the
morning
of
that
day
.
My
Lord
,
you
know
where
your
fulness
lies
,
where
your
riches
lie
,
where
is
your
onely
rock
to
anchor
on
.
You
know
there
is
fulness
in
Christ
:
If
the
Lord
comes
not
in
with
fulness
of
comfort
to
you
,
yet
resolve
to
wait
upon
him
while
you
live
,
and
to
trust
in
him
when
you
dye
,
and
then
say
,
I
will
dye
here
,
I
will
perish
at
thy
feet
,
I
will
be
found
dead
at
the
feet
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Certainly
,
he
that
came
to
seek
and
save
lost
sinners
,
will
not
reject
lost
sinners
when
they
come
to
seek
him
:
He
that
intreateth
us
to
come
▪
will
not
slight
us
when
we
come
to
intreat
him
.
My
Lord
,
there
is
enough
there
,
and
fix
your
heart
there
,
and
fix
your
eyes
there
,
that
eye
of
Faith
,
and
that
eye
of
hope
,
exercise
these
graces
now
,
there
wil
be
no
exercise
herafter
.
As
your
Lordship
said
,
here
take
an
end
of
Faith
,
and
take
an
end
of
Hope
,
and
take
a
farewel
of
Repentance
:
and
all
these
,
and
welcom
God
,
and
welcom
Christ
,
and
welcom
Glory
,
&
welcom
Happiness
to
all
Eternity
;
and
so
it
will
be
a
happy
passage
then
,
if
it
be
a
passage
here
from
misery
to
happiness
.
And
though
it
be
but
a
sad
way
,
yet
if
it
will
bring
you
into
the
presence
of
joy
,
although
it
be
a
vally
of
tears
,
although
it
be
a
shadow
of
death
,
yet
if
God
wil
please
to
bring
you
,
and
make
it
a
passage
to
that
happiness
,
welcom
Lord.
And
I
doubt
not
but
God
will
give
you
a
heart
to
taste
some
sweetness
and
love
in
this
bitter
potion
and
to
see
something
of
mercy
and
goodness
to
you
,
and
shew
you
some
sign
and
token
of
good
,
so
that
your
soul
may
see
that
which
we
have
had
already
experience
of
(
blessed
be
God
for
it
)
many
experiences
,
many
expressions
,
not
only
in
words
,
but
tears
;
God
hath
not
left
us
without
much
comfort
nor
evidence
,
and
I
hope
,
my
Lord
,
you
that
have
given
so
many
evidences
to
us
,
I
hope
you
want
none
your self
;
but
that
the
Lord
will
be
pleased
to
uphold
and
support
you
,
and
bear
up
your
spirit
,
and
if
there
want
evidence
,
there
is
reliance
;
my
security
lies
not
in
my
knowing
that
I
shall
come
to
heaven
,
and
come
to
glory
,
but
in
my
resting
and
relying
upon
him
:
When
the
Anchor
of
Faith
is
thrown
out
,
there
may
be
shakings
and
tossings
,
but
there
is
safety
;
nothing
shall
interrupt
safety
,
although
something
may
interrupt
security
;
my
safety
is
sure
,
although
I
apprehend
it
not
:
And
what
if
I
go
to
God
in
the
dark
?
What
if
I
come
to
him
,
as
Nicodemus
did
,
staggering
in
the
night
?
It
is
a
night
of
trouble
,
a
night
of
darkness
;
though
I
come
trembling
and
staggering
in
this
night
,
yet
I
shall
be
sure
to
find
comfort
and
fixedness
in
him
:
And
the
Lord
of
heaven
be
the
strength
,
stay
,
and
the
support
of
your
soul
,
and
the
Lord
furnish
you
with
all
those
graces
which
may
carry
you
into
the
bosom
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
that
when
you
expire
this
life
,
you
may
be
able
to
expire
it
into
him
,
in
whom
you
may
begin
to
live
to
all
eternity
,
and
that
is
my
humble
prayer
.

Mr
Bolton
,
God
hath
given
me
long
time
in
this
world
,
he
hath
carried
me
through
many
great
accidents
of
Fortune
;
he
hath
at
last
brought
me
down
into
a
condition
,
where
I
find
my self
brought
to
an
end
,
for
a
disaffection
to
this
State
,
to
this
Parliament
,
that
(
as
I
said
before
)
I
did
believe
no
body
in
the
world
more
unlikely
to
have
expected
to
suffer
for
that
Cause
:
I
look
upon
it
as
a
great
Judgment
of
God
for
my
sins
.
And
truly
Sir
,
since
that
the
death
is
violent
,
I
am
the
less
troubled
with
it
,
because
of
those
violent
deaths
that
I
have
seen
before
,
principally
my
Saviour
that
hath
shewed
us
the
way
,
how
and
in
what
manner
he
hath
done
it
,
and
for
what
cause
,
I
am
the
more
comforted
,
I
am
the
more
rejoyced
.
It
is
not
long
since
the
King
my
Master
passed
in
the
same
manner
,
and
truly
I
hope
that
his
purposes
and
intentions
were
such
,
as
a
man
may
not
be
ashamed
,
not
only
to
follow
him
,
in
the
way
that
was
taken
with
him
,
but
likewise
not
ashamed
of
his
purposes
,
if
God
had
given
him
life
.
I
have
often
disputed
with
him
concerning
many
things
of
this
kind
,
and
I
conceive
his
sufferings
,
and
his
better
knowledg
,
and
better
understanding
▪
(
if
God
had
spared
him
life
)
might
have
made
him
a
Prince
very
happy
towards
himself
,
and
very
happy
towards
this
Kingdom
.
I
have
seen
and
known
,
that
those
blessed
Souls
in
Heaven
have
passed
thither
by
the
gate
of
sorrow
,
and
many
by
the
gate
of
violence
:
and
since
it
is
Gods
pleasure
to
dispose
me
this
way
.
I
submit
my
soul
to
him
,
with
all
comfort
,
and
with
all
hope
,
that
he
hath
made
this
my
end
,
and
this
my
conclusion
,
that
though
I
be
low
in
death
,
yet
nevertheless
this
lowness
shall
raise
me
to
the
highest
glory
for
ever
.
Truly
,
I
have
not
said
much
in
publique
to
the
People
,
concerning
the
particular
actions
that
,
I
conceive
,
I
have
done
by
my
counsels
in
this
Kingdom
,
I
conceive
they
are
well
known
,
it
were
something
of
vanity
(
methinks
)
to
take
notice
of
them
here
,
I
'le
rather
dye
with
them
,
with
the
comfort
of
them
,
in
my
own
bosom
;
and
that
I
never
intended
in
this
action
,
or
any
action
that
ever
I
did
in
my
life
,
either
malice
,
or
bloodshed
,
or
prejudice
to
any
creature
that
lives
.
For
that
which
concerns
my
Religion
,
I
made
my
profession
before
of
it
,
how
I
was
bred
,
and
in
what
manner
I
was
bred
,
in
a
Family
that
was
looked
upon
to
be
no
little
notorious
,
in
opposition
to
some
liberties
,
that
they
conceived
then
to
be
taken
;
and
truly
,
there
was
some
mark
upon
me
,
as
if
I
had
some
taint
of
it
,
even
throughout
my
whole
ways
,
that
I
have
taken
;
every
body
knows
what
my
affections
have
been
,
to
many
that
have
suffered
,
to
many
that
have
been
in
troubles
in
this
Kingdom
,
I
endeavored
to
relieve
them
,
I
endeavored
to
oblige
them
,
I
thought
I
was
tied
so
by
my
Conscience
,
I
thought
it
by
my
Charity
,
and
truly
very
much
by
my
Breeding
;
God
hath
now
brought
me
to
the
last
instant
of
my
time
,
all
that
I
can
say
,
and
all
that
I
can
adhere
unto
,
is
this
,
That
as
I
am
a
great
sinner
,
so
I
have
a
great
Saviour
,
that
as
he
hath
given
me
here
a
fortune
,
to
come
publiquely
in
a
shew
of
shame
in
the
way
of
this
suffering
(
truly
I
understand
it
not
to
be
so
,
)
I
understand
it
to
be
a
glory
,
a
glory
when
I
consider
who
hath
gone
before
me
,
and
a
glory
when
I
consider
I
had
no
end
in
it
,
but
what
I
conceive
to
be
the
service
of
God
,
the
King
,
and
the
Kingdom
,
and
therefore
my
Heart
is
not
charged
much
with
any
thing
in
that
particular
,
since
I
conceive
God
will
accept
of
the
intention
,
whatsoever
the
action
seem
to
be
:
I
am
going
to
dye
,
and
the
Lord
receive
my
Soul
;
I
have
no
reliance
but
upon
Christ
,
for
my self
I
do
acknowledg
that
I
am
the
unworthiest
of
sinners
;
my
life
hath
been
a
vanity
,
and
a
continued
sin
,
and
God
may
justly
bring
me
to
this
end
for
the
sins
I
have
committed
against
him
,
and
were
there
nothing
else
but
the
iniquities
that
I
have
committed
in
the
way
of
my
life
,
I
look
upon
this
as
a
great
Justice
of
God
to
bring
me
to
this
suffering
,
and
to
bring
me
to
this
punishment
,
and
those
hands
that
have
been
most
active
in
it
,
if
any
such
there
hath
been
,
I
pray
God
forgive
them
,
I
pray
God
that
there
may
not
be
many
such
Trophees
of
their
Victories
,
but
that
this
may
be
,
as
I
said
before
,
the
last
shew
that
this
People
shall
see
of
the
blood
of
persons
of
Condition
,
of
persons
of
Honour
:
I
might
say
something
of
the
way
of
our
Tryal
,
which
certainly
hath
been
as
extraordinary
as
any
thing
I
think
hath
ever
been
seen
in
this
Kingdom
;
but
because
that
I
would
not
seem
as
if
I
made
some
complaint
,
I
will
not
so
much
as
mention
it
,
because
no
body
shall
believe
I
repine
at
their
actions
,
that
I
repine
at
my
fortune
:
It
is
the
Will
of
God
,
it
is
the
Hand
of
God
under
whom
I
fall
,
I
take
it
intirely
from
him
,
I
submit
my self
to
him
,
I
shall
desire
to
roul
my self
into
the
Arms
of
my
blessed
Saviour
,
and
when
I
come
to
this
place
,
(
pointing
to
the
Block
)
when
I
bow
down
my self
there
,
I
hope
God
will
raise
me
up
;
and
when
I
bid
farewel
,
as
I
must
now
to
Hope
and
to
Faith
,
that
Love
will
abide
,
I
know
nothing
to
accompany
the
Soul
out
of
this
World
but
Love
,
and
I
hope
that
Love
will
bring
me
to
the
Fountain
of
Glory
in
Heaven
,
through
the
Arms
,
Mediation
,
and
the
Mercy
of
my
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
in
whom
I
believe
,
O
LORD
help
my
unbelief
.

The
Lord
make
over
unto
you
the
Righteousness
of
his
own
Son
,
it
is
that
Treasury
that
he
hath
bestowed
upon
you
,
and
the
Lord
shew
you
the
light
of
his
countenance
,
and
fill
you
full
with
his
joy
and
kindness
,
O
my
dear
Lord

the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
be
with
you
,
and
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
bring
you
to
that
safety
.
Holland
.
I
shall
make
as
much
haste
as
I
can
to
come
to
that
Glory
,
and
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
take
my
Soul
;
I
look
upon
my self
intirely
in
Him
,
and
hope
to
find
mercy
through
Him
,
I
expect
it
,
and
through
that
Fountain
that
is
opened
for
sin
,
and
for
uncleanness
,
my
Soul
must
receive
it
,
for
did
I
rest
in
any
thing
else
,
I
have
nothing
but
sin
and
corruption
in
me
;
I
have
nothing
but
that
,
which
instead
of
being
carryed
up
into
the
Arms
of
God
and
Glory
,
I
have
nothing
but
may
throw
me
down
into
Hell.
Bolton
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
when
you
are
clothed
with
the
Righteousness
of
another
,
you
will
appear
glorious
,
though
now
sinful
in
your self
;
The
Apostle
saith
,
I
desire
not
to
be
found
in
my
own
Righteousness
,
and
when
you
are
clothed
with
another
,
the
Lord
will
own
you
,
and
I
shall
say
but
thus
much
,
Doubt
not
that
ever
God
will
deny
Salvation
to
sinners
,
that
come
to
him
,
when
the
end
of
all
his
death
and
sufferings
was
the
Salvation
of
sinners
,
when
as
,
I
say
,
the
whole
end
,
and
the
whole
design
,
and
the
great
Work
that
God
had
to
do
in
the
World
,
by
the
death
of
Christ
,
wherein
he
laid
out
all
his
Counsels
,
and
infinite
Wisdom
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Goodness
,
beyond
which
there
was
a
Non
ultra
in
Gods
thoughts
,
when
this
was
the
great
design
,
&
great
end
,
the
Salvation
of
siners
,
that
poor
Souls
should
come
over
to
him
and
live
;
certainly
when
sinners
come
,
he
will
not
reject
,
he
will
not
refuse
.
And
my
Lord
,
do
but
think
of
this
,
the
greatest
work
that
ever
was
done
in
the
World
,
was
the
Blood
of
Christ
that
was
shed
,
never
any
thing
like
it
;
and
this
Blood
of
Christ
that
was
shed
,
was
shed
for
them
that
come
,
if
not
for
them
,
for
none
,
it
was
in
vain
else
:
You
see
the
Devils
they
are
out
of
capacity
of
good
by
it
,
the
Angels
they
have
no
need
of
it
,
wicked
men
will
not
come
,
&
there
are
but
a
few
that
come
over
,
and
should
he
deny
them
,
there
were
no
end
nor
fruit
of
the
blood
and
sufferings
of
the
Lord
Jesus
;
and
had
your
Lordship
been
with
Christ
in
that
bloody
Agony
,
when
he
was
in
that
bloody
sweat
,
sweating
drops
of
blood
,
if
you
had
asked
him
,
Lord
what
art
thou
now
a
doing
?
Art
thou
not
now
reconciling
an
angry
God
and
me
together
?
Art
thou
not
pacifying
the
wrath
of
God
?
Art
thou
not
interposing
thy self
between
the
Justice
of
God
and
my
Soul
?
Would
he
not
have
said
,
Yea
?
and
surely
then
he
will
not
deny
it
now
.
My
Lord
,
his
passions
are
over
,
his
compassions
still
remain
,
and
the
larger
and
greater
,
because
he
is
gone
up
into
a
higher
place
,
that
he
may
throw
down
more
abundance
of
his
mercy
and
grace
upon
you
;
and
my
Lord
,
think
of
that
infinite
love
,
that
abundance
of
riches
in
Christ
:
I
am
lost
,
I
am
empty
,
I
have
nothing
,
I
am
poor
,
I
am
sinful
:
be
it
so
,
as
bad
as
God
will
make
me
,
and
as
vile
as
I
possibly
can
conceive
my self
,
I
am
willing
to
be
;
but
when
I
have
said
all
,
the
more
I
advance
that
riches
,
and
honour
that
grace
of
God.
And
why
should
I
doubt
,
when
by
this
he
puts
me
into
a
capacity
,
into
a
disposition
for
him
to
shew
me
mercy
,
that
by
this
I
may
the
better
advance
the
riches
of
his
grace
,
and
say
,
grace
,
grace
to
the
Lord
to
all
eternity
,
that
God
should
own
such
a
creature
,
that
deserves
nothing
;
and
the
less
I
deserve
,
the
more
conspicuous
is
his
grace
:
and
this
is
certain
,
the
riches
of
his
grace
he
throweth
amongst
men
,
that
the
glory
of
his
grace
might
be
given
to
himself
;
if
we
can
give
him
but
the
glory
of
his
grace
,
we
shall
never
doubt
to
partake
of
the
riches
of
it
,
and
that
fulness
,
my
Lord
,
that
fulness
be
your
comfort
,
that
fulness
of
Mercy
,
that
fulness
of
Love
,
that
fulness
of
Righteousness
and
Power
be
now
your
riches
,
and
your
only
stay
,
and
the
Lord
interpose
himself
between
God
and
you
;
as
your
faith
hath
endeavored
to
interpose
him
between
God
and
your
soul
,
so
I
doubt
not
but
there
he
stands
,
my
Lord
,
to
plead
for
you
,
and
when
you
are
not
able
to
do
any
thing
your self
,
yet
lie
down
at
the
feet
of
him
that
is
a
merciful
Saviour
,
and
knows
what
you
would
desire
,
and
wait
upon
him
while
you
live
,
trust
in
him
when
you
dye
,
there
is
riches
enough
,
and
mercy
enough
,
if
he
open
not
,
yet
dye
at
his
door
,
say
,
there
I
'l
dye
,
there
is
mercy
enough
.

And
here
is
the
place
where
I
lie
down
before
him

from
whence
I
hope
he
will
raise
me
to
an
eternal
glory
through
my
Saviour
,
upon
whom
I
rely
,
from
whom
only
I
can
expect
mercy
;
into
his
Arms
I
commend
my
spirit
,
into
his
bleeding
Arms
,
that
when
I
leave
this
bleeding
body
that
must
lie
upon
this
place
,
he
will
receive
that
soul
that
ariseth
out
of
it
,
and
receive
it
into
his
eternal
mercy
,
through
the
merits
,
through
the
worthiness
,
through
the
mediation
of
Christ
that
hath
purchased
it
with
his
own
most
precious
blood

and
thirsts
after
him
,
clouds
are
gathering
,
and
I
trust
in
God
through
all
my
heaviness
,
and
I
hope
,
through
all
impediments
,
he
will
settle
my
Interest
in
him
,
and
throw
off
all
the
claim
that
Satan
can
make
unto
it
,
and
that
he
will
carry
my
soul
,
in
despite
of
all
the
calumnies
,
and
all
that
the
Devil
and
Satan
can
invent
,
will
carry
it
into
eternal
mercy
,
there
to
receive
the
blessedness
of
his
presence
to
all
Eternity

My
Lord
,
it
was
his
own
by
Creation
,
it
is
his
own
now
by
Redemption
and
purchase
,
it
is
likewise
his
own
by
Resignation
▪
O
my
Lord
,
look
therefore
up
to
the
Lamb
of
God
,
that
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
to
take
away
the
sins
of
the
World
;
O
that
Lamb
of
God!
Holland
.
That
Lamb
of
God
,
into
his
hands
I
commit
my
soul
;
and
that
Lamb
of
God
that
sits
upon
the
Throne
to
judg
those
twenty
four
that
fall
down
before
him
,
I
hope
he
will
be
pleased
to
look
downward
,
and
judg
me
with
mercy
that
fall
down
before
him
,
and
that
worship
him
,
and
that
adore
him
,
that
only
trusts
upon
his
mercy
,
for
his
compassion
;
and
that
as
he
hath
purchased
me
,
he
would
lay
his
claim
unto
me
now
,
and
receive
me
.
Bolton
.
My
Lord
,
think
of
this
,
There
is
no
condemnation
to
them
who
are
in
Christ
:
Who
is
it
that
can
condemn
?
it
is
Christ
that
justifies
;
and
therefore
look
now
upon
this
,
my
Lord
,
upon
this
Christ
,
upon
this
Christ
that
justifies
:
Hell
,
Death
,
Sin
,
Satan
,
nothing
shall
be
able
to
condemn
,
it
is
Christ
that
justifies
you
.
Holland
.
Indeed
if
Christ
justifie
,
no
body
can
condemn
,
and
I
trust
in
God
,
in
his
Justification
;
though
there
is
confusion
here
without
us
,
and
though
there
are
wonders
and
staring
that
now
disquiet
,
yet
I
trust
that
I
shall
be
carried
into
that
mercy
,
that
God
will
receive
my
soul
.
Bolton
.
I
doubt
not
,
my
Lord
,
but
as
you
are
a
Spectacle
and
of
pity
here
,
so
you
are
an
object
of
Gods
mercy
above
.
Holland
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Holland
looking
over
among
the
people
,
pointing
to
a
Souldier
,
sayd
,
This
honest
man
took
me
prisoner
,
you
little
thought
I
should
have
been
brought
to
this
,
when
I
delivered
my self
to
you
upon
conditions
:
And
espying
Captain
Watson
on
horseback
,
putting
off
his
Hat
,
sayd
to
him
,
God
be
with
you
Sir
,
God
reward
you
Sir.
Bolton
.
My
Lord
,
throw
your self
into
the
arms
of
mercy
,
and
say
,
There
I
will
Anchor
,
and
there
I
will
dye
,
he
is
a
Saviour
for
us
in
all
conditions
,
whither
should
we
go
?
he
hath
the
words
of
eternal
life
,
and
upon
him
do
you
rest
,
wait
while
you
live
,
and
even
trust
in
death
.
Holland
.
Here
must
now
be
my
Anchor
,
a
great
storm
makes
me
find
my
Anchor
,
and
but
in
storms
no
body
trust
to
their
Anchor
,
and
therefore
I
must
trust
upon
my
Anchor
,
(
Vpon
that
God
,
said
Mr
Bolton
,
upon
whom
your
Anchor
trusts
,
)
yea
,
God
,
I
hope
,
will
anchor
my
soul
fast
upon
Christ
Jesus
;
and
if
I
dye
not
with
that
clearness
and
that
heartiness
that
you
speak
of
,
truly
,
I
will
trust
in
God
,
though
he
kill
me
,
I
will
rely
upon
him
,
and
in
the
mercy
of
my
Saviour
.
Bolton
.
There
is
mercy
enough
,
my
Lord
,
and
to
spare
,
you
shall
not
need
to
doubt
,
they
shall
never
go
begging
to
another
door
,
my
Lord
,
that
come
to
him
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Holland
speaking
to
Mr
Hodges
,
said
,
I
pray
God
reward
you
for
all
your
kindness
,
and
pray
,
as
you
have
done
,
instruct
my
Family
,
that
they
may
serve
God
with
faithfulness
,
with
holiness
,
with
more
diligence
,
then
truly
I
have
been
careful
to
press
them
unto
:
You
have
the
charge
of
the
same
place
,
you
may
do
much
for
them
,
and
I
recommend
them
to
your
kindness
,
and
the
goodness
of
your
Conscience
.
Dr
Sibbald
standing
by
upon
the
Scaffold
,
in
his
passage
to
Col
:
Beecher
,
expressed
himself
thus
to
his
Lordship
:
Dr
Sibbald
.
The
Lord
lift
up
thought
of
his
countenance
upon
you
,
and
you
shall
be
safe
.
Holland
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Holland
embraced
Lieut
:
Col
:
Beecher
,
and
took
his
leave
of
him
:
After
which
he
came
to
M.
Bolton
,
and
having
embraced
him
,
and
returned
him
many
thanks
for
his
great
pains
and
affections
to
his
soul
,
desiring
God
to
reward
him
,
and
return
his
love
into
his
bosom
.
Mr
Bolton
said
to
him
,
The
Lord
God
support
you
,
and
be
seen
in
this
great
extremity
;
the
Lord
reveal
and
discover
himself
to
you
,
and
make
your
death
the
passage
unto
eternal
life
—
Holland
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Holland
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
Here
,
my
friend
,
let
my
Clothes
and
my
Body
alone
,
there
is
Ten
pounds
for
thee
,
that
is
better
then
my
Clothes
I
am
sure
of
it
.
Executioner
.
Will
your
Lordship
please
to
give
me
a
sign
when
I
shall
strike
?
And
then
his
Lordship
said
,
You
have
room
enough
here
,
have
you
not
?
and
the
Executioner
said
,
Yes
.
Bolton
.
The
Lord
be
your
strength
,
there
is
riches
in
him
;
The
Lord
of
Heaven
impart
himself
to
you
,
he
is
able
to
save
to
the
uttermost
:
We
cannot
fall
so
low
,
as
to
fall
below
the
everlasting
Arms
of
God
;
and
therefore
the
Lord
be
a
support
and
stay
to
you
in
your
low
con●●●n
,
that
he
will
be
pleased
to
make
this
an
advantage
to
that
life
and
glory
that
will
make
amends
for
all
.
Holland
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Holland
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
Friend
,
do
you
hear
me
,
if
you
take
up
my
Head
,
do
not
take
off
my
Cap.
Then
turning
to
his
Servants
,
he
said
to
one
,
Fare
you
well
,
thou
art
an
honest
fellow
:
and
to
another
,
God
be
with
thee
,
thou
art
an
honest
man
;
and
then
said
,
Stay
,
I
will
kneel
down
,
and
ask
God
forgiveness
;
and
then
prayed
for
a
pretty
space
,
with
seeming
earnestness
.
Bolton
.
The
Lord
grant
you
may
find
life
in
death
.
Holland
.
Which
is
the
way
of
lying
?
(
which
they
shewed
him
.
)
And
then
going
to
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
he
said
to
the
People
,
God
bless
you
all
,
and
God
deliver
you
from
any
such
accident
as
may
bring
you
to
any
such
death
as
is
violent
,
either
by
War
,
or
by
these
accidents
;
but
that
there
may
be
peace
among
you
,
and
you
may
find
,
That
these
accidents
that
have
hapned
to
us
,
may
be
the
last
that
may
happen
in
this
Kingdom
;
it
is
that
I
desire
,
it
is
that
I
beg
of
God
,
next
the
saving
of
my
soul
:
I
pray
God
give
all
happiness
to
this
Kingdom
,
to
this
People
,
and
this
Nation
.
And
then
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
How
must
I
lie
?
I
know
not
.
Execut.
Lie
down
flat
upon
your
belly
:
and
then
having
laid
himself
down
,
he
said
▪
Must
I
lie
closer
?
Execut.
Yes
,
and
backwarder
.
Holland
.
I
will
tell
you
when
you
shall
strike
;
and
then
as
he
lay
,
seemed
to
pray
with
much
affection
for
a
short
space
,
and
then
lifting
up
his
head
,
said
,
Where
is
the
man
?
and
seeing
the
Executioner
by
him
,
he
said
,
Stay
while
I
give
the
Sign
;
and
presently
after
stretching
out
his
hand
,
and
the
Executioner
being
not
fully
ready
,
he
said
,
Now
,
now
,
and
just
as
the
words
were
coming
out
of
his
mouth
,
the
Executioner
at
one
blow
severed
his
Head
from
his
Body
.
The
Execution
of
the
Lord
of
Holland
being
thus
performed
,
the
Lord
Capel
was
brought
to
the
Scaffold
as
the
former
,
and
in
the
way
to
the
Scaffold
,
he
put
off
his
Hat
to
the
people
on
both
sides
,
looking
very
austerely
about
him
:
And
being
come
upon
the
Scaffold
,
Lieut
:
Col
:
Beecher
said
to
him
,
Is
your
Chaplain
here
?
Capel
.
No
,
I
have
taken
my
leave
of
him
;
and
perceiving
some
of
his
Servants
to
weep
,
he
said
,
Gentlemen
,
refrain
your selves
,
refrain
your selves
;
and
turning
to
Lieut
:
Col
:
Beecher
,
he
said
,
What
,
did
the
Lords
speak
with
their
Hats
off
or
on
?
Lieut
:
Col
:
Beecher
.
With
their
Hats
off
:
And
then
coming
to
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
he
said
,
I
shall
hardly
be
understood
here
,
I
think
;
and
then
began
his
Speech
,
as
followeth
.
Capel
.
THe
conclusion
that
I
made
with
those
that
sent
me
hither
,
and
are
the
cause
of
this
violent
death
of
mine
,
shall
be
the
beginning
of
what
I
shall
say
to
you
:
When
I
made
an
Address
to
them
(
which
was
the
last
)
I
told
them
with
much
sinceri●y
,
That
I
would
pray
to
the
God
of
all
mercies
●hat
they
might
be
partakers
of
his
inestimable
and
boundless
mercies
in
Jesus
Christ
,
and
truly
,
I
still
pray
that
Prayer
;
and
I
beseech
the
God
of
Heaven
forgive
any
injury
they
have
done
to
me
,
from
my
soul
I
wish
it
.
And
truly
,
this
I
tell
you
,
as
a
Christian
,
to
let
you
see
I
am
a
Christian
;
but
it
is
necessary
I
should
tell
you
somewhat
more
,
That
I
am
a
Protestant
:
And
truly
,
I
am
a
Protestant
,
and
very
much
in
love
with
the
profession
of
it
,
after
the
manner
as
it
was
established
in
England
by
the
Thirty
nine
Articles
,
a
blessed
way
of
profession
,
and
such
a
one
,
as
truly
,
I
never
knew
none
so
good
:
I
am
so
far
from
being
a
Papist
,
which
some
body
have
(
truly
)
very
unworthily
at
some
time
charged
me
withall
,
that
truly
,
I
profess
to
you
,
that
though
I
love
good
works
,
and
commend
good
works
,
yet
I
hold
,
They
have
nothing
at
all
to
do
in
the
matter
of
Salvation
;
my
Anchor-hold
in
this
,
That
Christ
loved
me
,
and
gave
himself
for
me
,
that
is
that
that
I
rest
upon
.
And
truly
,
something
I
shall
say
to
you
as
a
Citizen
of
the
whole
world
,
and
in
that
consideration
I
am
here
condemned
to
dye
:
Truly
,
contrary
to
the
Law
that
governs
all
the
world
,
that
is
,
The
Law
of
the
Sword
;
I
had
the
protection
of
that
for
my
life
,
and
the
honor
of
it
;
but
truly
,
I
will
not
trouble
you
much
with
that
,
because
in
another
place
I
have
spoken
very
largely
and
liberally
about
it
,
I
believe
you
will
hear
by
other
means
what
Arguments
I
used
in
that
case
:
But
truly
,
that
that
is
stranger
,
you
that
are
English
men
,
behold
here
an
English
man
now
before
you
,
and
acknowledged
a
Peer
,
not
condemned
to
dye
by
any
Law
of
England
,
not
by
any
Law
of
England
;
Nay
,
shall
I
tell
you
more
(
which
is
strangest
of
all
)
contrary
to
all
the
Laws
of
England
that
I
know
of
.
And
truly
,
I
will
tell
you
,
in
the
matter
of
the
Civil
part
of
my
death
,
and
the
cause
that
I
have
maintained
,
I
dye
(
I
take
it
)
for
maintaining
the
fifth
Cōmandment
,
injoyned
by
God
himself
,
w
ch
injoyns
reverence
&
obedience
to
Parents
:
All
Divines
on
all
hands
,
though
they
contradict
one
another
in
many
several
Opinions
,
yet
all
Divines
on
all
hands
,
do
acknowledg
,
that
herin
is
intended
Magistracy
&
Order
;
and
certainly
I
have
obeyed
that
Magistracy
and
that
Order
under
which
I
have
lived
,
which
I
was
bound
to
obey
;
and
truly
,
I
do
say
very
confidently
,
that
I
do
dye
here
for
keeping
,
for
obeying
that
fifth
Commandment
,
given
by
God
himself
,
and
written
with
his
own
finger
.
And
now
,
Gentlemen
,
I
will
take
this
opportunity
to
tell
you
,
That
I
cannot
imitate
a
better
nor
a
greater
ingenuity
then
his
that
said
of
himself
,
For
suffering
an
unjust
Judgment
upon
another
,
himself
was
brought
to
suffer
by
an
unjust
Judgment
.
Truly
Gentlemen
,
that
God
may
be
glorified
,
that
all
men
that
are
concerned
in
it
,
may
take
the
occasion
of
it
,
of
humble
repentance
to
God
Almighty
for
it
,
I
do
here
pre●ess
to
you
,
that
truly
I
did
give
my
Vote
to
that
Bill
of
the
E.
of
Strafford
,
I
doubt
not
but
God
Almighty
hath
washed
that
away
with
a
more
precious
blood
,
and
that
is
,
with
the
blood
of
his
own
Son
,
and
my
dear
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
and
I
hope
he
will
wash
it
away
from
all
those
that
are
guilty
of
it
;
truly
,
this
I
may
say
,
I
had
not
the
least
part
,
nor
the
least
degree
of
malice
in
the
doing
of
it
;
but
I
must
confess
again
to
Gods
Glory
,
and
the
accusation
of
mine
own
frailty
,
and
the
frailty
of
my
Nature
,
that
truly
it
was
an
unworthy
Cowardice
,
not
to
resist
so
great
a
torrent
as
carried
that
business
at
that
time
.
And
truly
,
this
I
think
I
am
most
guilty
of
,
of
not
courage
enough
in
it
,
but
malice
I
had
none
;
but
whatsoever
it
was
,
God
,
I
am
sure
,
hath
pardoned
it
,
hath
given
me
the
assurance
of
it
,
That
Christ
Jesus
his
blood
hath
washed
it
away
;
and
truly
,
I
do
from
my
soul
wish
,
That
all
men
that
have
any
stain
by
it
,
may
seriously
repent
,
and
receive
a
remission
and
pardon
from
God
for
it
.
And
now
,
Gentlemen
,
we
have
had
an
occasion
,
by
this
intimation
,
to
remember
his
Majesty
,
our
King
that
last
was
;
and
I
cannot
speak
of
him
,
nor
think
of
it
,
but
truly
,
I
must
needs
say
,
That
in
my
Opinion
,
that
have
had
time
to
consider
all
the
Images
of
all
the
greatest
and
vertuousest
Princes
in
the
world
;
and
truly
,
in
my
Opinion
,
there
was
not
a
more
vertuous
,
and
more
sufficient
Prince
known
in
the
world
,
then
our
gracious
King
Charls
that
dyed
last
:
God
Almighty
preserve
our
King
that
now
is
,
his
Son
;
God
send
him
more
fortunate
and
longer
days
,
God
Almighty
so
assist
him
,
that
he
may
exceed
both
the
vertues
and
sufficiencies
of
his
Father
:
For
certainly
,
I
that
have
been
a
Councellor
to
him
,
and
have
lived
long
with
him
,
and
in
a
time
when
discovery
is
easily
enough
made
,
for
he
was
young
(
he
was
about
thirteen
,
fourteen
,
fifteen
or
sixteen
years
of
age
)
those
years
I
was
with
him
,
truly
I
never
saw
greater
hopes
of
vertue
in
any
young
person
then
in
him
,
great
Judgment
,
great
Vnderstanding
,
great
Apprehension
,
much
Honor
in
his
Nature
,
and
truly
,
a
very
perfect
English
man
in
his
inclination
;
and
I
pray
God
restore
him
to
this
Kingdom
,
and
unite
the
Kingdoms
one
unto
another
,
and
send
a
great
happiness
both
to
you
and
to
him
,
that
he
may
long
live
and
Raign
among
you
,
and
that
that
Family
may
Raign
till
thy
Kingdom
come
,
that
is
,
while
all
Temporal
Power
is
consummated
:
I
beseech
God
of
his
mercy
,
give
much
happiness
to
this
your
King
,
and
to
you
that
in
it
shall
be
his
Subjects
,
by
the
grace
of
Jesus
Christ.
Truly
,
I
like
my
beginning
so
well
,
that
I
will
make
my
conclusion
with
it
,
that
is
,
That
God
Almighty
would
confer
of
his
infinite
and
inestimable
grace
and
mercy
to
those
that
are
the
Causers
of
my
coming
hither
,
I
pray
God
give
them
as
much
mercy
as
their
own
hearts
can
wish
;
and
truly
,
for
my
part
,
I
will
not
accuse
any
one
of
them
of
malice
,
truly
I
will
not
,
nay
,
I
will
not
think
there
was
any
malice
in
them
;
what
other
ends
there
is
,
I
know
not
,
nor
I
will
not
examine
,
but
let
it
be
what
it
will
,
from
my
very
soul
I
forgive
them
every
one
:
And
so
the
Lord
of
Heaven
bless
you
all
,
God
Almighty
be
infinite
in
goodness
and
mercy
to
you
,
and
direct
you
in
those
ways
of
obedience
to
his
commands
to
his
Majesty
,
that
this
Kingdom
may
be
a
happy
and
glorious
Nation
again
,
and
that
your
King
may
be
a
happy
King
in
so
good
and
so
obedient
People
;
God
Almighty
keep
you
all
,
God
Almighty
preserve
this
Kingdom
,
God
Almighty
preserve
you
all
.
Then
turning
about
,
and
looking
for
the
Executioner
(
who
was
gone
off
the
Scaffold
)
said
,
Which
is
the
Gentleman
?
which
is
the
man
?
Answer
was
made
,
He
is
a
coming
:
He
then
said
,
Stay
,
I
must
pull
of
my
Dublet
first
,
and
my
Wastcoat
:
Then
the
Executioner
being
come
upon
the
Scaffold
,
the
Lord
Capel
said
,
O
friend
,
prethee
come
hither
:
Then
the
Executioner
kneeling
down
,
the
L
,
Capel
said
,
I
forgive
thee
from
my
Soul
,
and
not
only
forgive
thee
,
but
I
shall
pray
to
God
to
give
thee
all
grace
for
a
better
life
:
There
is
Five
pounds
for
thee
;
and
truly
for
my
clothes
and
those
things
,
if
there
be
any
thing
due
to
you
for
it
,
you
shall
be
very
fully
recompenced
;
but
I
desire
my
body
may
not
be
stripped
here
,
and
no
body
to
take
notice
of
my
body
but
my
own
servants
:
Look
you
friend
,
this
I
shall
desire
of
you
,
that
when
I
lie
down
,
that
you
would
give
me
time
for
a
particular
short
prayer
.
Lieu.
Col.
Beecher
.
Make
your
own
sign
,
my
Lord.
Cap.
Stay
a
litle
,
which
side
do
you
stand
upon
?
(
speaking
to
the
Executioner
)
Stay
,
I
think
I
should
lay
my
hands
forward
that
way
(
pointing
fore-right
,
)
and
answer
being
made
,
Yes
;
he
stood
still
a
little
while
,
and
then
said
,
God
Almighty
bless
all
this
People
,
God
Almighty
stench
this
blood
,
God
Almighty
stench
,
stench
,
stench
this
issue
of
blood
;
this
will
not
do
the
business
,
God
Almighty
find
out
another
way
to
do
it
.
And
then
turning
to
one
of
his
Servants
,
said
,
Baldwin
,
I
cannot
see
any
thing
that
belongs
to
my
wife
,
but
I
must
desire
thee
to
beseech
her
to
rest
wholly
upon
Jesus
Christ
,
and
be
contented
and
fully
satisfied
:
And
then
speaking
to
his
Servant
,
he
said
,
God
keep
you
;
and
Gentlemen
,
let
me
now
do
a
business
quickly
,
privately
,
and
pray
let
me
have
your
prayers
at
the
moment
of
death
,
that
God
would
receive
my
soul
.
Lieut.
Col.

.
I
wish

Capel
.
Pray
at
the
moment
of
striking
joyn
your
prayers
,
but
make
no
noise
(
turning
to
his
servants
)
that
's
inconvenient
at
this
time
.
Servant
.
My
Lord
,
put
on
your
Cap.
Capel
.
Should
I
,
what
wil
that
do
me
good
?
Stay
a
little
,
is
it
well
as
it
is
*
now
?
And
then
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
he
said
,
Honest
man
,
I
have
forgiven
thee
,
therefore
strike
boldly
,
from
my
soul
I
do
it
.
Then
a
Gentleman
speaking
to
him
,
he
said
,
Nay
,
prethee
be
contented
,
be
quiet
good
Mr
—
be
quiet
.
Then
turning
to
the
Executioner
,
he
said
,
Well
,
you
are
ready
when
I
am
ready
,
are
you
not
?
And
stretching
out
his
hands
,
he
said
,
Then
pray
stand
off
Gentlemen
.
Then
going
to
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
he
said
to
the
People
,
Gentlemen
,
though
I
doubt
not
of
it
,
yet
I
think
it
convenient
to
ask
it
of
you
,
That
you
would
all
joyn
in
Prayers
with
me
,
That
God
would
mercifully
receive
my
soul
,
and
that
for
his
alone
mercies
in
Christ
Jesus
.
God
Almighty
keep
you
all
.
Execut.
My
Lord
,
shall
I
put
up
your
hair
?
Capel
.
I
,
I
,
prethee
do
:
and
then
as
he
stood
lifting
up
his
hands
and
eyes
,
he
said
,
O
God
,
I
do
with
a
perfect
and
a
willing
heart
submit
to
thy
Will
:
O
God
,
I
do
most
willingly
humble
my self
:
And
then
kneeling
down
,
said
,
I
will
try
first
how
I
can
lie
;
and
laying
his
head
over
the
Block
,
said
,
Am
I
wel
now
?
Executioner
.
Yes
.
And
then
as
he
lay
with
both
his
hands
stretched
out
,
he
said
to
the
Executioner
,
Here
lies
both
my
hands
out
,
when
I
lift
up
my
hand
thus
,
(
lifting
up
his
right
hand
)
then
you
may
strike
.
And
then
after
he
had
said
a
short
prayer
,
he
lifted
up
his
right
hand
,
and
the
Executioner
at
one
blow
severed
his
Head
from
his
Body
,
which
was
taken
up
by
his
Servants
,
and
put
(
with
his
body
)
into
a
Coffin
,
as
the
former
.
