resolving to turn from his evil ways and bring forth Fruits worthy of Penance there is then and no 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 forgive 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 rendred 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 Admittence 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 Souls 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 proceeding 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 Blood not exposed to the external Senses nor Obnoxious to corporeal Contingences 9. Neither is the Body of Christ in this Holy Sacrament Seperated 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 Species or Kinds in doing of which he instituted not only a Sacrament but also a Sacrifice a Commemorative Sacrifice distinctly shewing his Death or Bloudy Passion until he come For as the Sacrifice of the Cross was performed by a distinct Effusion of Bloud so is the same Sacrifice Commemorated in that of the Altar by a distinction of the Symbols Jesus therefore is here given not only to us but for us and the Church thereby enriched with a true proper and propitiatory Sacrifice usually termed Mass 11. Catholicks Renounce all Divine Worship and Adoration of Images or Pictures God alone we Worship and Adore nevertheless we make use of Pictures and place them in Churches and Oratories to reduce our wandering thoughts and Enliven our Memories towards Heavenly things And farther we allow a certain Honour and Veneration to the Picture of Christ of the Virgin Mary c. beyond what is due to every Prophane Figure not that we believe any Divinity or Vertue in the Pictures themselves for which they ought to be Honoured but because the Honour given to the Pictures is referred to the Prototype or things represented In like manner 12. There is a kind of Honour and Veneration Respectively due to the Bible to the Cross to the Name of Jesus to Churches to the Sacraments c. as things peculiarly appertaining to God also to the glorified Saints in Heaven as the Domestick Friends of God yea to Kings Magistrates and Superiors on Earth as the Vicegerents of God To whom Honour is due Honour may be given without any Derogation to the Majesty of God or that Divine Worship appropriate to him Furthermore 13. Catholicks believe That the blessed Saints in Heaven replenished with Charity pray for us their fellow-Members here on Earth that they Rejoyce at our Conversion that seeing God they see and know in him all things suitable to their happy state that God is Inclinable to hear their Requests made in our behalf and for their sakes grants Us many Favours That therefore it is Good and Profitable to Desire their Intercession And that this manner of Invocation is no more Injurious to Christ our Mediator nor Superabundant in it self than it is for one Christian to beg the Prayers and

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 be done I am ready The Head's-Man said I hope you 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 Heads'-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 Lord's 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 Bloud-dropping 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 Judgments ensuing Perjury and Bloudshed 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 looked upon themselves as in some measure Parties in his Sufferings beheld this whole Tragedy with most tender Resentments They regarded him as a Victime 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 Joyes 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 God'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 srowned 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 desired he might not be stripped naked on the Scaffold In the Interim divers Persons threw up their Handkerchiess to have them dipt in my Lord's 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 it's 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 add 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. Cor. Cap. 15. Verse 54. Absorpta est Mors in Victoriâ AN APPENDIX Containing some Remarques upon the late Tryal of Stephen Colledge In Relation to the Chief Witnesses against my Lord STAFFORD Here annexed for the more Ample Satisfaction of the Reader in that Particular HAving in some measure performed what I purposed and promised in the front of this Treatise I might well have here put a stop to my Pen had not an extraordinary Accident raised new matter of Reflections upon the King's Evidence in point of Credit and seemed to call me to a short Survey of it in the close of my Discourse The Judgments of the Almighty are incomprehensible And St. Paul had good reason to Cry out as it were in an Extasy O The depth of the riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God How unsearchable are his Judgments and his ways past finding out Who could ever have imagined That the three direct and main Witnesses against my Lord Stafford at his Tryal should all convene together at another of a quite contrary stamp And this in so fatal a conjuncture as to confound and destroy by open Perjury each others Testimony My Lord as you have seen endeavoured to shew the Infamy of the Witnesses The Contradictions in their Evidence The Incoherence of parts And Incredibility of circumstances throughout the whole Charge To make out which he alledged many pressing Arguments and produced many Substantial Witnesses both Catholicks and Protestants in his behalf Nothing seemed wanting save only his Adversaries themselves against themselves to compleat his Evidence And here it is the Divine Goodness say the Papists who is the Defender of Innocence and Fountain of Truth hath wonderfully manifested what manner of Men my Lord's Accusers were and what Credit ought to be given them Even by the proper Testimony of their own Mouths Herein also fulfilling in some sort what my Lord himself Prophetically foretold in his last Speech viz. I have a great confidence that it will please Almighty God And that he will in a short time bring Truth to Light Then all the World will see and know what Injury they Oates Dugdale and Turbervil have done me To give a brief account of this affair

There are few who have not heard of the late Tryal of Stephen Colledge Sirnamed the Protestant Joyner a man very active in the Death of my Lord Stafford and a zealous defender of Dugdales Honesty He was Impeached Arraigned Condemned and Executed for High Treason In Speaking Treasonable Words And having by a designed combination with others appeared in Arms to Seize the Kings Person at Oxford The Witnesses against him were Smith Dugdale Turbervil Haines Mr. Maisters and Sir William Jennings It is not my intent here to Epitomize Colledges whole Tryal Nor to give my Censure or Verdict upon it But only to inform the Reader of some Passages which chiefly relate to the main Witnesses against my Lord Stafford And which are now become the Subject of Surprize and Astonishment to all Considering Persons Please then to Note That Stephen Dugdale and Edward Turbervil two of the Principal Witnesses upon whose Testimony my Lord was Found Guilty and John Smith otherwise called Narrative Smith who at my Lords Tryal seemed the only plausible Deponent as to the Plot in General gave respective Evidence against this Colledge at Oxford as followeth Stephen Dugdale Swore First Mr. Colledge told him That the King was a Papist That he was as deep in the Plot as any Papist of them all which the Papists themselves also confess That he had an hand in Sir Edmundbury Godferys death That he was a Rogue That nothing was to be expected from him but Popery and Arbitrary Government And that the Clergy of England were Papists in Masquerade Secondly That Colledge had framed several notorious Libels against the King to render him contemptible And raised Arms with intent to seize His Sacred Person at Oxford c. Turbervil Swore He heard Colledge say First That there was no good to be expected from the King For that he and his Family were Papists and had ever been such Secondly That His Party would Seize the King and secure Him till he came to those terms they would have of him Thirdly That the Parliament which cut off the late King's Head did nothing but what they had just cause for c. Smith Swore First That Colledge told him There were Moneys collected to buy Arms and Amuniton to bring the King to Submission to His People Adding thereunto That he wondered Old Rowley meaning the King did not consider how easily His Fathers Head came to the Block which he doubted not would be the end of Rowley at last Secondly That Colledge had provided himself of a great Sword Pistols Blunderbuss with Back Breast and Head-Peice And that he heard him say The City was provided and ready with Powder and Bullets That he would be one who should Seize the King in case he secured any of the Members of Parliament And that if any man nay even Rowley himself should attempt to seize upon his Arms He would be the death of him c. In direct Opposition to these witnesses Colledge produced Titus Oates the third principal Witness against my Lord Stafford And first Grand discoverer of the Popish Plot who gave attestation against the said several Witnesses after this manner AGainst Dugdale Oates deposed That the said Oates discoursing upon occasion with Dugdale concerning his being an intended Evidence against my Lord Shaftsbury and other Dugdale replied There is no body hath any cause to make any such report of me For I call God to Witness I know nothing against any Protestant in England But afterwards Dugdale having Sworn matters of High-Treason against Colledge before the Grand-Jury at the Old-Baily and being hereupon charged by Oates as having gone against his Conscience and contrary to what he had declared to him Dugdale answered It was all long of Collonel Warcup for said he I could get no money else And he promised I should have a place in the Custom House In opposition to this Testimony Dugdale Swore Vpon the Oath he had taken and As he hoped for Salvation It was not true Against the same Dugdale Oates farther deposed That Dugdale did confess he had an old Clap yet gave out he was Poysoned which sham passed throughout the Kingdom in our Intelligences But in Truth said Oates it was the Pox As I will make appear by the Physician that cured him In opposition to which Dugdale protested If any Doctor would come forth and say he cured him of a Clap or any such thing He would stand Guilty of all that is imputed to him AGainst Turbervil also Oates gave Evidence in these words A little before the Witnesses were Sworn against Colledge at the Old-Baily I Oates met with Mr. Turbervil I was in a Coach But seeing Mr. Turbervil I stept out of the Coach and spoke with him For hearing that he was a Witness I did ask him whether he was a Witness or no against Colledge Mr. Turbervil said He would break any ones head that should say so against him for he neither was a Witness nor could give any Evidence against him So after he came from Oxon I met with Mr. Turbervil again And hearing he had been there I asked him if he had Sworn any thing against Colledge He said yes He had been sworn before the Grand-Jury Said I Did not you tell me so and so Why said he The Protestant Citizens have deserted us And God Damm him He would not starve These very words he several times repeated But when I asked him what he had sworn he said I am not bound to satisfie Peoples Curiosities Vpon the word of a Priest said Oates what I say is true As I am a Minister I speak it sincerely In the presence of God This Gentleman did say these words to me which made me affraid of the Man And I went my ways and never spoke with him afterwards nor durst I For I thought He that would Swear and curse after that rate was not fit to be talked with In opposition to all which Turbervil swore That he met Dr. Oates just at his Lodgings And the Dr. alighted out of his Coach and spoke to him and invited him to come to his old Friends For he told him They had some Jealousie that he was not true to them And he farther told him If he would come to the King's Head Clubb he should be received with a great deal of Kindness But never afterwards said Turbervil did I speak with the Doctor a Tittle about any Evidence Vpon my Oath added he I did not And truly I always looked upon Dr. Oates as a very Ill Man and never would converse much with him AGainst Smith Oates gave this attestation viz. To my knowledge Mr. Colledge and Mr. Smith had some provoking words passed betwixt them at Richards Coffee-house And Mr. Smith comes out and Swears God Damm him he would have Colledges Bloud So when I met him said I Mr. Smith you profess your self to be a Priest and have stood at the Altar And now you intend to
