in Conscience to defend their King and Countrey at the hazard of their Lives and Fortunes even against the Pope himself in case he should invade the Nation 8. And as for Problematical Disputes or Errors of particular Divines in this or any other matter whatsoever the Catholick Church is no wise responsible for them Nor are Catholicks as Catholicks justly punishable on their Account But 9 As for the King-Killing Doctrine or Murder of Princes Excomunicated for Heresie It is an Article of Faith in the Catholick Church and expresly declared in the General Council of Constance That such Doctrine is Damnable and Heretical being contrary to the known Laws of God and Nature 10. Personal Misdemeanors of what Nature soever ought not to be Imputed to the Catholick Church when not Justifiable by the Tenents of her Faith and Doctrine For which Reason though the Stories of the Paris Massacre the Irish Cruelties Or Powder-Plot had been exactly true which yet for the most part are Notoriously mis-related nevertheless Catholicks as Catholicks ought not to Suffer for such Offences any more then the Eleven Apostles ought to have Suffered for Judas's Treachery 11. It is an Article of the Catholick Faith to believe That no Power on Earth can Licence Men to Lye to Forswear and Perjure themselves to Massacre their Neighbours or destroy their Native Countrey on pretence of promoting the Catholick Cause or Religion Furthermore all Pardons and Dispensations granted or pretended to be granted in order to any such ends or Designs have no other validity or Effect then to add Sacriledge and Blasphemy to the above-mentioned Crimes 12. The Doctrine of Equivocation or Mental Reservation however wrongfully Imposed on the Catholick Religion is notwithstanding neither taught nor approved by the Church as any part of her Belief On the contrary Simplicity and Godly Sincerity are constantly recomended by her as truly Christian Vertues necessary to the Conservation of Justice Truth and Common Society PARAGRAPH III. Of some Particular controverted Points of Faith 1. EVery Catholick is oblig'd to believe that when a Sinner Repenteth him of his Sins from the bottom of his Heart and Acknowledgeth his Transgressions to God and his Ministers the Dispensers of the Mysteries of Christ resolving to turn from his evil ways and bring forth Fruits worthy of Penance there is then and 〈◊〉 otherwise an Authority left by Christ to Absolve such a Penitent Sinner from his Sins which Authority Christ gave to his apostles and their Successors the Bishops and Priests of the Catholick Church in those words when he said Receive ye the Holy Ghost whose Sins you shall ●orgive they are forgiven unto them c. 2. Though no Creature whatsoever can make Condign satisfaction either for the Guilt of Sin or the Pain Eternal due to it This satisfaction being proper to Christ our Saviour only yet Penitent Sinners Redeemed by Christ may as members of Christ in some measure satisfie by Prayer Fasting Almes Deeds and other works of Piety for the Temporal Paine which by order of Divine Justice sometimes remains due after the guilt of Sin and Pains Eternal are gratis remitted These Penitential Works are notwithstanding satisfactory no otherwise than as joyned and applyed to that satisfaction which Jesus made upon the Cross in vertue of which alone all our good Works find a grateful acceptance in God's Sight 3. The Guilt of Sin or Pain Eternal due to it is never remitted by Indulgences but only such Temporal Punishments as remain due after the Guilt is remitted These Indulgences being nothing else than a Mitigation or Relaxation upon just causes of Canonical Penances enjoyned by the Pastors of the Church on Penitent Sinners according to their several Degrees of Demerit And if any abuses or mistakes be sometimes committed in point either of Granting or Gaining Indulgences through the Remisness or Ignorance of particular Persons contrary to the ancient Custom and Discipline of the Church such Abuses or Mistakes cannot rationally be charged on the Church nor render matter of Derision in prejudice to her Faith and Doctrine 4. Catholicks hold there is a Purgatory that is to say a Place or State where Souls departing this Life with Remission of their Sins as to the Eternal Guilt or Pain yet Obnoxious to some Temporal Punishment still Remaining due Or not perfectly freed from the Blemish of some venial Defects or Deordinations as Idle Words c. not liable to Damnation are purged before their Admittance into Heaven where nothing that is defiled can enter Furthermore 5. Catholicks also hold That such Souls so detained in Purgatory being the Living Members of Christ Jesus are Relieved by the Prayers and Suffrages of their Fellow-members here on Earth But where this place is Of what nature or quality the Pains are How long each Soul is detained there After what manner the Suffrages made in their behalf are applyed Whether by way of Satisfaction or Intercession c. are Questions Superfluous and Impertinent as to Faith 6. No Man though just can Merit either an Increase of Sanctity or Happiness in this Life or Eternal Glory in the next Independent on the Merits and Passion of Christ Nevertheless in and by the Merits of Christ Jesus the good Works of a Just Man proceed●ng from Grace and Charity are acceptable to God so far forth as to be through his Goodness and Sacred Promise Truly Meritorious of Eternal Life 7. It is an Article of the Catholick Faith That in the most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist there is Truly and Really contained the Body of Christ which was delivered for us and his Bloud which was shed for the Remission of Sins The substance of Bread and Wine being by the powerful Words of Christ changed into the Substance of his Blessed Body and Bloud the Species or Accidents of Bread and Wine still remaining Thus 8. Christ is not present in this Sacrament according to his natural way of Existence that is with extension of parts in order to place c. but after a Supernatural manner one and the same in many places and whole in every part of the Symbols This therefore is a Real Substantial yet Sacramental Presence of Christ's Body and Bloud not exposed to the external Senses nor Obnoxious to corporeal Contingences 9. Neither is the Body of Christ in this Holy Sacrament Separated from his Bloud or his Bloud from his Body or either of both disjoyned from his Soul and Divinity but all and whole living Jesus is entirely contained under either Species so that whosoever receiveth under one kind is truly partaker of the whole Sacrament and no wise deprived either of the Body or Bloud of Christ True it is 10. Our Saviour Jesus Christ left unto us his Body and Bloud under two distinct

general is directly charged upon the Papists in general and they must answer to the general Indictment wherefore though it be not my Design to defend Popery yet I think it very pertinent and necessary before we enter upon my Lord 's special Charge and Defension to insert here some of those many things the Papists in general often did and still do constantly alledge against the Premisses in vindication of their Innocence If in this I shall be accounted a Papist or Popishly affected it will only be amongst those who love not to see Truth contrary to their Interest nor to do Justice though to an Adversary To proceed then The Papists plead that it is not the Clamour of the hainousness and horror of a Crime imputed but the Gu●lt and clear Conviction of a Crime prov'd that renders a man accountable to Justice and punishable by the Law That as Treason is the worst of Crimes so is the stain of Innocent Bloud shed by Perjury hard to be wash'd off That the bare positive Swearing of every person in every matter or manner hand over head is no sufficient Conviction of anothers Guilt for if so it would be in the Power of any six Knights of the Post to kill whomsoever they pleas'd though never so Innocent and for what they pleas'd though never so absurd or impossible by meer dint of Affidavit That false Accusations may be so laid as that the contrary cannot possibly be demonstrated by the Party accus'd seeing no mortal man can distinctly prove where he was what he did said or heard every day and every hour of his whole Life Wherefore to make justly valid an Accusation against another the Laws of God and Man require First That the Accuser be a Credible Witness that is not tainted with notorious Crimes or Villanies for he that hath lost a sense of moral Honesty hath lost his right to moral Credit and may be indifferently presum'd to Swear any thing Secondly That the Accusation be strengthen'd with probable Circumstances Circumstances which bring along with them some appearance of Truth d●stinct from the bare Accusation it self for otherwise where the Ballance is equal in point of repute between the Accuser and the Accused it is as presumptive that the one should be guilty of Perjury as the other of the Crimes charg'd upon him And herein the weaker the Credit of the Accusers are the stronger ought the presumption of Circumstances to be as natural Reason and Justice dictate Now neither of these two Essential Conditions are found in the Evidence given of this pretended Plot. As for the first Condition What manner of men the Witnesses are who make these Discoveries how notoriously Infafamous how stigmatiz'd with all sorts of Felonies Forgeries Cheats Debaucheries and Wickedness many Intelligent Protestants in their Consciences know the Witnesses themselves have been often forced to acknowledge and several Courts of Judicature can upon Record give publick Testimony As for the second condition there are not only no Circumstances confirming the said Oaths But the whole series of the Evidence is a meer bundle of Moral impossibilities contradictions and non-sence Here is a Plot forsooth contriv'd by the Papists at a time when they had least or rather no reason to seek a Change To kill the King by whose merciful Indulgence they liv●d in Peace To wade through Bloud to an uncertain Liberty which they already sufficiently enjoy'd To overthrow the Government for the re-establishing of which they so frankly in the late Wars expos'd their lives and fortunes This Plot must be manag'd by Persons of Quality most remarkable peradventure of all others for firmness of Loyalty and now through age and infirmities retir'd from publick business and weary of the world The whole body of Roman Catholicks men before this hour of known worth virtue integrity and unblemished Reputation must all be involv'd by Vows and Sacraments in a design so black and execrable That God and nature abhor to think on it They must hazard their Honour their Estates their Families their Bodies their Souls their All in an enterprize so desperate and sottish that none but mad men would attempt it and nothing but a miracle could either effect or conceal it In this Plot are said to have been engaged for several years together divers Nations England Scotland Ireland France Italy Spain Germany c. an affront shame and scandal unto the greatest Part of Christendom wherein many thousands of both Sexes of different Interests of all sorts states and conditions must necessarily have been privy to and partners in the Villany Now that none of this vast number should have any remorse for so Bloudy a Treason None all this while the Worth Wit or Grace to reveal it No intervening accident no Levity no dissagreement of Parties happen to detect it till at last Dr. Oates Capt. Bedlow and by degrees their other Companions rak'd out of Goals Whipt Pillory'd and one way or other branded with Infamy made this Grand Doscovery good men out of tenderness of Conscience This is somewhat hard to believe To prosecute this Plot the Witnesses attest there were huge Armies of Papists Dugdale mention's two hundred thousand immediately to be raised These numberless Swarms were to be provided with proportionable stores of Weapons Ammunitions c. and all in a readiness for a general Massacre of Protestants at an hours warning Oates and the rest likewise affirm they were well acquainted with all the most deep and secret Intrigues the Papists had of this nature Yet after all when it comes to it They cannot shew or direct where these Millions of men and Mountains of Magazines are The Officers after thirty months diligent scrutiny could never find the least footsteps of any such thing And 't is impossible they should or could be invisibly dispers'd or convey'd away upon so sudden and unexpected a discovery especially in the very nick of time when they were to be made use on We are farther told of hundreds of Sealed Commissions for all sorts of Military Offices my Lord Stafford because no good Accountant must be Pay-master-General Divers Patents granted for Dignities of State many Bulls and Breves for Ecclesiastical preferments And God knows how many even Bushels of Letters and Pacquets all containing most damnable Treason sent nevertheless up and down at random some by the Common-Post Others by such Messengers as Oates Bedlow Dugdale and Dangerfield who as bosom-Councellours were still privy to the contents of what they carry'd to and fro and became so dexterous in taking remarques That they could exactly tell when their memories fail'd not for fear of contradictions the particular Date when where to whom and from whom Nay they could punctually recite upon their fingers ends the very express words of almost every Letter Oates moreover declares he was never a real Catholick but only pretended to be so on purpose to make Discoveries And he was so successful in this Stratagem that he

for crimes detested by God and Nature This man surely can never die without such Conflicts of horrour and despair as will almost prevent the hand of the Executioner yet there appeared in my Lord no other Symptoms then those of a most pleasing Tranquility as if Innocence had Guarded him As if the Injustice of others had secured him As if the Holy Ghost had fortified him As if Christ Jesus had united him to his Sufferings and undertaken his conduct and defence THat very morning he was to dye he writ a Letter to his Lady which afterwards he delivered on the Scaffold to a Friend there present the contents whereof are these My Dear Wife I Have I give God humble thanks slept this night some hours very quietly I would not dress me until I had by this given you thanks for all your great Love and Kindness unto me I am very sorry that I have not deserved it from you God reward you Were I to live numbers of years I assure you I would never omit any occasion to let you know the Love I bear you I cannot say what I would nor how well and many ways you have deserv'd God of His most infinite mercy send us an happy meeting in Heaven My last request unto you is that you will bear my Death as well as you can for my sake I have now no more to do but as well as I can though not so well as I would to recommend my sinful Soul unto the mercy of the Holy Trinity who through the Passion Bloud and Merits of our Saviour I hope will mercifully grant me a place though the lowest in Heaven God grant it And bless you and Ours Your truly loving Husband W. H. St Thomas of Canterbury 's day 1680. past six in the Morning The Manner and Circumstances of my Lord 's Final End WHen the hour appointed for his Death drew near he expected with some impatience the arrival of Mr. Lieutenant telling his Friends that were about him he ought not to hasten his own Death yet he thought the time long till they came for him A Gentleman then with him in his Chamber put him in mind that it was a cold day and that his Lordship would do well to put on a Cloak or Coat to keep him warm He answered He would For said he I may perhaps shake for cold but I trust in God never for fear After some time spent in Spiritual discourses at length about Ten a Clock word was brought him That Mr. Lieutenant waited for him below upon which he sweetly saluted his Friends bidding them not to grieve for him for this was the happiest day of all his Life then he immediatly went down and walked along by the Lieutenants Chair who had the Gout through a lane of Soldiers to the Barrs without the Tower There the Lieutenant delivered him to the Sheriff● and they from thence Guarded him to the Scaffold erected on Tower-Hill All the way as he passed several thousands of People crowded to see him many civilly saluted him and few there were amongst that vast ●ber whose hearts were not a li● ●ched and mollified with Compassion for him Having mounted the Scaffold there appeared in his Countenance such an unusual vivacity such a Chearfulness such a Confidence such a Candor as if the Innocence of his Soul had shined through his Body Nothing of that Mortal paleness Nothing of those Reluctances Convulsions and Agonies incident to persons in his condition could in the least be perceived in him He looked death in the ●a●e with so undaunted a Resolution as gave many occasion to say Gr●e had left in him no Resentment●●f ●ature After a short pause viewing th● People and finding them attend●●o what he should say he step● to one side of the Scaffold and with a Graceful Air and intelligible Voice pronounced his last Speech as followeth My Lord's last Speech BY the permission of Almighty God I am this day brought hither to Suffer Death as if I were Guilty of High Treason I do most truly in the presence of the Eternal Omnipotent and All-knowing God protest upon my Salvation that I am as Innocent as it is possible for any Man to be so much as in a thought of the Crimes laid to my Charge I acknowledge it to be a particular Grace and Favour of the Holy Trinity to have given me this Long time to prepare my self for Eternity I have not made so good use of that Grace as I ought to have done partly because not only my Friends but my Wife and Children have for several days been forbidden to see me but in the presence of one of my Warders This hath been a great trouble and distraction unto me but I hope God of his Infinite Mercy will Pardon my Defects and accept of my good Intentions Since my long Imprisonment I have considered often what could be the Original Cause of my being thus Accused since I knew my self not Culpable so much as in a thought and I cannot believe it to be upon any other account then my being of the Church of Rome I have no reason to be ashamed of my Religion for it Teacheth nothing but the Right Worship of God Obedience to the King and due Subordination to the Temporal Laws of the Kingdom And I do submit to all Articles of Faith believed and taught in the Catholick Church believing them to be most consonant to the Word of God And whereas it hath so much and often been objected That the Church holds that Soveraign Princes Excommunicated by the Pope may by their Subjects be Deposed or Murdered As to the Murder of Princes I have been taught as a Matter of Faith in the Catholick Church That such Doctrine is Diabolical Horrid Detestable and contrary to the Law of God Nature and Nations As for the Doctrine of Deposing Princes I know some Divines of the Catholick Church hold it but as able and Learned as they have Written against it But it was not pretended to be the Doctrine of the Church that is any Point of Catholick Faith Wherefore I do here in my Conscience declare that it is my true and 〈◊〉 Judgment That the same Doctrine of Deposing King● is contrary to the 〈◊〉 a● Lawpunc of this Kingdom Injurious to Soveraign Power and consequently would be in me or any other of his Majesties Subjects Impious and Damnable I believe and profess That there is One God One Saviour One Holy Catholick Church of which through the Mercy Grace and Goodness of God I die a member To my great and unspeakable grief I have offended God in many things by many great Offences but I give him most humble thanks not in any of those Crimes of which I was Accused All the Members of either House having liberty to propose in the House what they think fit for the good of the Kingdom accordingly I proposed what I thought fit the House is Judge of the fitness or unfitness of it and I

in sign they Accorded to what he said Others by distinct Acclamations answered We believe you my Lord God bless you my Lord Pray God forgive him his Sins c. In this conjuncture a Protestant Minister accosted him saying Have you received no Indulgences from the Romish-Church Have you received no Absolution To which my Lord answered What have you to do with my Religion However I do say the Roman Catholick Church allows of no Indulgences or Dispensations Authorizing Treason Murder Lying or Forswearing Nor have I received any Absolution for such ends Pray do not trouble your self nor me Then turning from the Parson he applyed himself to his Friends about him whom he lovingly embraced and with a pleasant Voice and Aspect Bid them adieu for this World Next he delivered his Watch two Rings off his Fingers his Staff and his Crucifix about his Neck as Legacies to several Friends He desired the Sheriffs that such Persons as he nominated might have leave without the Executioners Intermeddling to assist him and to take care of his Body which was accordingly done And his Gentleman Stripping him of his Coat and Peruke put on his head a Silk Cap and accommodated his Hair Shirt and Waistcoat for the Execution And he now being ready for Death both in Body and Mind he chearfully submitted himself to the Block before which first kneeling down and making the Sign of the Cross he recommended himself with raptures of Devotion to the Divine Mercy and Goodness After this he lay down as it were to try the Block And then who could imagine it with a Stupendious Courage embraced the fatal Wood as the dear Basis or Point from whence his Soul was now to take its flight to Immortal Glory The Heads-man put him in mind that his Shirt and Waistcoat came too high Whereupon he raised himself up upon his Knees and bid his Gentleman cut them lower Whilst this was p●rforming he was heard continually to breath forth several Acts of Prayer as Sweet Jesus receive my Soul Into thy hands O Lord I commend my Spirit c. When his Gentleman had finished He again laid down his head upon the Block persevering still his Prayer and expecting the suddain and dismal arrest of Death with a courage say the Papists Divinely Elevated a constancy more then humane No change in his Countenance no Quaking or Trembling in any one Joynt of his Body could be discerned Thus he lay or rather quietly rested upon the very Brink between Time and Eternity a good space Till at length finding the Head's man delayed the Execution of his Office He once more raised himself up upon his Knees and with an aspect Grave but still serene and lively asked Why they staid It was answered For a Sign What Sign will you give Sir He replyed None at all Take your own time God●s will he done I am ready The Head's man said I hope you will forgive me He answered I do Then Blessing himself again with the Sign of the Cross he reposed his Head upon the Block never more to lift it up in this Mortal State The Head's man took the Ax in his hand and after a short pause Elevated it on high as it were to take aim and set it down again A second time he did so and Sighed The third time he gave the Fatal Blow which severed my Lords Head from his Body save only a small part of the Skin and Wind-pipe which was immediatly cut off with a Knife The Body after Seperation from the Head Trembled a little and Stirred no more The Head was received into a Black Silk Scarf by two of my Lord's Friends and retained by them till the Sheriff called for it and commanded the Executioner to hold it up to the view of the Multitude The which he did at the four Corners of the Scaffold Crying aloud This is the Head of a Traytor But however the People had been formerly possessed with prejudice both against my Lord's Practices and Principles Yet now they made no Acclamations at the sight of the Ploud-droping Head nor seemed much taken with the Jollity of the Spectacle Some went away with Confusion and Remorse for their past hard censure of him Others conceived strange apprehensions and fears of God's Judgements ensuing Perjury and Bloud-shed Some again said My Lord was Drunk with Brandy Others said Verily This was a just Man The Papists who best knew his Innocence And who looking upon themselves as in some measure Parties in his Sufferings beheld this whole Tragedy with most tender Resentments They regarded him as a Victim of Religion and Innocence They mutually accompanied him with their Prayers and Supplications to God in his behalf They seemed to receive new Comfort and Courage from his Christian Magnanimity They Wept They Smiled They Sympathized with him both in his Dolours and Joye● They Blessed and Praised Almighty God for his goodness to Him and to Them in Him They Glorified his Holy Name who often sheweth the strength of his Power in the weakest Subjects In fine many did and still do believe the peculiar grace and presence of Cod's Spirit had some Effect and Influence upon all in a manner that saw him And few there were of his Religion who did not wish themselves in his Place No sooner was Execution done but the Sun which before was obscured and secluded from our sight on a suddain dissipating the Clouds sent forth it 's Clear and Illustrious Beams Upon which accident different Parties have since made different Reflections My Lord's Adversaries say The Sun before frowned at Popish Guilt but seemed pleased when Justice was done The Papists say The Heavens Mourned and were ashamed and unwilling to be Spectators at the Shedding of Innocent Bloud but appeared in Joy and Splendour at the Reception of a New and Glorious Inhabitant into their Coelestial Mansions When the Head had been publickly exposed it was returned back into the Silk Scarf held by a Youth that had waited upon my Lord and so laid into the Coffin together with the Body vested For out of Modesty my Lord had desired he might not be stripped naked on the Scaffold In the interim divers Persons threw up their Handkerchiefs to have them dipt in my Lords Bloud wherein some were Gratified and others had their Handkerchiefs thrown with Derision over the Scaffold● After this the Coffin was taken down from off the Scaffold by several Bearers and by them carried to the Bounds of the Tower where a Velvet Herse-cloath being spread over it It was carried in order to its Interment into the Tower A place say the Papists as it hath been Enobled by his Sufferings so will it remain to future Ages a Triumphal Monument of his Fortitude and Victory Thus Lived thus Dyed this Famous Nobleman to whose Memory I shall only adde of my own That if his Cause was Innocent and his Religion wrongfully Traduced He is Happy and we unfortunate by his untimely Death 1 Ep.
