           I
           shall
           obey
           ,
           and
           labour
           to
           digest
           the
           sowre
           Herbs

           the
           Lamb

           I
           shall
           not
           think
           of

           the
           hands
           which
           gathered
           them

           but
           look
           up
           onely
           to
           him
           who
           instituted
           the
           one

           my
           Saviour
           taught
           me

           That
           when
           the
           servants

           :
           their
           Resolution
           was
           ,
           They
           would
           not
           
           worship
           the
           Image
           which
           the
           King
           had

           and
           the
           truth
           of
           GOD

           Clamors
           and
           Slanders
           I

           I
           have
           abundantly
           felt
           :
           Now
           at
           last
           I
           am
           accused
           of
           high
           Treason
           in
           Parliament
           ,
           a
           crime
           which
           my
           soul
           ever
           abhorred
           :
           This
           Treason
           was
           charged
           upon
           me
           to
           consist
           of
           two
           parts
           :
           An
           endeavour
           to
           subvert
           the
           Law
           of
           the
           Realme
           ,
           and
           a
           like
           to
           overthrow
           the
           true
           Protestant
           Religion
           established
           by
           those
           Lawes

           Besides
           my
           answers
           which
           I
           gave
           to
           the
           severall
           Charges
           ,
           I
           protested
           my
           innocency
           in
           both
           Houses
           :
           It
           was
           said
           ,
           Prisoners
           Protestations
           at

           I
           can
           bring
           no
           witnesse
           of
           my
           heart

           and
           the
           intentions
           thereof
           ,
           therefore
           I
           must
           come
           to
           my
           Protestation
           ,
           not
           at
           the
           Barre
           ,
           but
           to
           my
           Protestation
           at
           this
           houre
           
           and
           instant
           of
           death
           ,
           in
           which
           (
           as
           I
           said
           before
           )
           I
           hope
           all
           men
           will
           be
           such

           Christians
           as
           not
           to
           thinke
           I
           would
           die
           ,
           and
           dissemble
           my
           Religion
           ,
           I
           doe
           therefore
           here
           ,
           with
           that
           caution
           that
           I
           delivered
           before
           ,
           without
           all
           prejudice
           in
           the
           world
           to
           my
           Judges
           ,
           that
           are

           to
           be
           understood
           ,
           I
           die
           in
           the
           presence
           of
           Almighty
           God

           and
           I
           take
           it
           now
           on
           my
           death

           Religion
           into
           Popish
           superstition

           I
           have
           been
           accused

           dislike
           some
           misgovernments
           (
