and Protestation and every part thereof in the Plain and Ordinary Sense wherein the same stands Written as they are commonly understood by English Protestants and the Courts of Justice of England without any Evasion or Equivocation or Delusion or Mental Reservation whatsoever And without any Dispensation or Pardon or Absolution already granted to me for this or any other purpose by the Pope or any other Power Authority or Person whatsoever Or without any hope expectation or desire of any such Dispensation and without thinking or believing that I am or can be acquitted before God or Man or absolved of this Declaration or any part thereof although the Pope or any other Person or persons or Power or Authority whatsoever should dispence with Or take upon him or them to dispence with or Annul the same Or declare that it was or is or ought to be Null or Void in part or in the whole from the beginning or otherwise howsoever Having made this Declaration and Protestation in the most plain Terms that I can possibly imagin to express my sincere Loyalty and Innocency and the clear intention of my Soul I leave it to the Judgment of all Good and Charitable persons whether they will believe what is here in this manner affirmed and sworn by me in my present Circumstances or what is sworn by my Accusers I do now farther declare That I die a member though an unworthy one of that Holy Catholick and Apostolick Church of Christ mentioned in the Three Holy and publick Creeds of which Church our Lord Jesus Christ is the Invisible Head of Influence to illuminate guide protect and govern it by his Holy Spirit and Grace and of which Church the Bishop of Rome as the Successor of St. Peter the Prince of the Apostles is the visible Head of Government and Unity I take it to be clear That my Religion is the sole cause which moved my Accusers to charge me with the Crime for which upon their Evidence I am adjudged to die and that my being of that Religion which I here prosess was the only ground which could give them any hope to be believed or which could move my Ju●●y to believe the Evidence of such men I have had not only a Pardon but also great Advantages as to preferments and Estates offered unto me since this Judgment was against me in case I would have forsaken my Religion and owned my self guilty of the Crime charged against me and charged the same Crimes upon others But blessed be my God who by his Grace hath preserved me from yeilding to those Temptations and strengthened me rather to choose this death than to stain my Soul with sin and to charge others against truth with Crimes of which I do not know that any person is guilty Having said what concerns me to say as to my self I now humbly beseech God to bless the Kings Majesty with all temporal and eternal Blessings and to preserve Him and His Government from all Treasons and Traitors whatsoever and that his Majesty may never fall into such hands as His Royal Father of Glorious Memory fell into I also humbly beseeh thee O God to give true Repentance and Pardon to all my Enemies and most particularly to the said Mr. Oates and Mr. Bedloe and to all who have been any ways accessary to the taking away of my Life and the shedding of my Innocent Blood or to the preventing the King's Mercy from being extended unto me and likewise to all those who rejoyced at the Judgment given against me or at the Execution of the said Judgment and to all those who are or shall be so unchristianly uncharitable as to disbelieve and to refuse to give credit unto my now Protestations And I beseech thee O my God to bless this whole Nation and not to lay the guilt of my Blood unto the charge of this Nation or of any other particular person or persons of this Nation Unite all O my God unto thee and thy Church by true Faith Hope and Charity for thy mercies sake And for all those who have shewed Charity to me I humbly beg O my Jesus that thou wilt reward them with all Blessings both temporal and eternal 13 July 1679.

S. Nor under no other Hand L. No nor under any other Hand of any Commission or Patents for the Raising of an Army or any Thing else against the King S. What was the Patent for for Nothing L. I never saw any nor do I believe there was any And whereas I have read in a Narrative that I sent a Commission by my Son to the Lord Arundel of Warder and that I delive'rd another to the Lord Petre or Petres with my own hands I take God to Witness that I never knew him in my life or ever to my knowledge saw the face of that Lord nor did I send or know of any thing that was sent to my Lord Arundel of Warder of that nature S. Shorten your business you have Mr. Langhorn and your Party so many ways to Equivocate and after Absolution you may say any thing L. I refer my self to that Paper I gave you Mr. Sheriff S. I think it is not fit to be Printed I will do you no wrong L. I do not think you will S. You have already printed a Paper or some body for you L. Sir I did not Print it and it was done without any Direction or Permission of mine The Lord preserve his Majesty from all manner of Treason and preserve Him from falling into such Hands as His Royal Father
