people are caught by it In St. Stephen's case when nothing else would serve they stirred up the people against him Acts 6. 12. And Herod went the same way when he had killed St. James yet he would not venture upon St. Peter till he found how the other pleased the people Acts 12. 3. But take heed of having your hands full of bloud Esai 1. 15. for there is a time best known to himself when God above other sins makes Inquisition for bloud And when that Inquisition is on foot the Psalmist tells us Psal. 9. 12. that God remembers but that 's not all he remembers and forgets not the complaint of the poor i. e. whose bloud is shed by Oppression ver 9. Take heed of this 'T is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God Heb. 12. but then especially when he is making Inquisition for bloud And with my Prayers to avert it I do heartily desire this City to remember the Prophecy that is expressed Jer. 26. 15. 3. The third particular is the poor Church of England It hath flourished and been a shelter to other neighbouring Churches when storms have driven upon them but alas now it is in a storm it self and God onely knows whether or how it shall get out And which is worse than a storm from without it is become like an Oak cleft to shivers with wedges made out of its own body and at every cleft profaneness and irreligion is entering in While as Prosper speaks men that introduce prophaneness are cloaked over with the name Religionis Imaginariae of Imaginary Religion for we have lost the Substance and dwell too much in Opinion And that Church which all the Jesuits Machinations could not ruine is fallen into danger by her own 4. The last particular for I am not willing to be too long is my self I was born and baptized in the bosome of the Church of E gland established by Law In that Pr fession I have ever since lived and in that I come now to die What clamours and slanders I have endured for labouring to keep an Uniformity in the external Service of God according to the Doctrine and Discipline of this Church all men know and 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 to consist of two parts An endeavour to subvert the Laws of the Land and a like endeavour to overthrow the true Protestant Religion established by Law Besides my Answers to the several Charges I protested mine innocency in both Houses It was said Prisoners Protestations at the Bar must not be taken I must therefore come now to it upon my death being instantly to give God an account for the truth of it I do therefore here in the presence of God and his holy Angels take it upon my death that I never endeavoured the Subversion either of Law or Religion And I desire you all to remember this Protest of mine for my innocency in this and from all Treasons whatsoever I have been accused likewise as an Enemy to Parliaments No I understand them and the benefit that comes by them too well to be so But I did dislike the misgovernments of some Parliaments many ways and I had good reason for it for Corruptio optimi est pessima And that being the highest Court over which no other hath jurisdiction when 't is misinformed or misgoverned the Subject is left without all remedy But I have done I forgive all the world all and every of those bitter Enemies which have persecuted me and humbly desire to be forgiven of God first and then of every man And so I heartily desire you to joyn in prayer with me O Eternal God and merciful Father look down upon me in mercy in the riches and fulness of all thy mercies Look upon me but not till thou hast nailed my sins to the Cross of Christ not till thou hast bathed me in the bloud of Christ not till I have hid my self in the wounds of Christ that so the punishment due unto my sins may pass over me And since thou art pleased to try me to the uttermost I most humbly beseech thee give me now in this great instant full patience proportionable comfort and a heart ready to die for thine honour the Kings happiness and this Churches preservation And my zeal to these far from arrogancy be it spoken is all the sin humane frailty excepted and all incidents thereto which is yet known to me in this particular for which I come now to suffer I say in this particular of Treason But otherwise my sins are many and great Lord pardon them all and those especially whatever they are which have drawn down this present Judgment upon me And when thou hast given me strength to bear it do with me as seems best in thine own eyes Amen And that there may be a stop of this issue of bloud in this more than miserable Kingdom O Lord I beseech thee give grace of repentance to all Bloud-thirsty people But if they will not repent O Lord confound all their devices defeat and frustrate all their designes and endeavours upon them which are or shall be contrary to the glory of thy great Name the truth and sincerity of Religion the establishment of the King and his Posterity after him in their just Rights and Priviledges the honour and conservation of Parliaments in their just power the preservation of this poor Church in her Truth Peace and Patrimony and the settlement of this distracted and distressed People under their ancient Laws and in their native Liberties And when thou hast done all this in meer mercy for them O Lord sill their hearts with thankfulness and with religious dutiful obedience to thee and thy Commandments all their days So Amen Lord Jesus Amen And receive my soul into thy bosom Amen Our Father which art in heaven c. The Lord Archbishop's Prayer as he kneeled by the Block LOrd I am coming as fast as I can I know I must pass through the shadow of death before I can come to see thee But it is but Vmbra mortis a meer shadow of death a little darkness upon Nature but thou by thy Merits and Passion hast broke through the jaws of death So Lord receive my soul and have mercy upon me and bless this Kingdom with peace and plenty and with brotherly love and charity that there may not be this effusion of Christian bloud amongst them for Jesus Christ his sake if it be thy will Then he laid his head upon the Block and after he had prayed to himself said aloud Lord receive my soul which was the signal given to the Executioner FINIS THE CONTENTS * THe Division of the hours of Prayer pag. 1 The Office for every day 3 A Prayer for preventing Grace ibid.

And the Life Everlasting Amen An Advertisement CONCERNING The Division of the Hours of PRAYER IT appeareth both by the Histories of the Jews and by plain Observations out of the New Testament that the space of the Day from the Morning to the Evening was solemnly divided into four equal parts which they called Hours to wit the First the Third the Sixth and the Ninth The First Hour comprehended the whole space from the Sun being risen about six of the clock in the Morning after our account till Nine or thereabouts The Third Hour began from thence and lasted till High-noon with us The Sixth from thence to our three of the clock after Noon The Ninth from that hour to the Vespers or Evensong about six in the evening or Sun-set And what was done in any part of these four spaces was indifferently taken and said to be done in that Hour whereunto every space of time was allotted In which respect St. Mark chap. 15. 25. saith It was the Third Hour when they crucified Christ and yet St. John chap. 19. 14. saith It was about the Sixth Hour before he was yet crucified Nor is there any contradiction at all between these two Evangelists St. Mark understanding the last part of the Third Hour which was now at the very end and St. John meaning that it was now near upon the beginning of the Sixth Hour which was immediately to follow the ending of the Third and the beginning of the Sixth being both one and the same point of time THE DAILY OFFICE OF A CHRISTIAN The Office for every day In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Amen O Lord I am risen up and fallen prostrate before thee Prevent me I beseech thee in all my doings with thy most gracious Favour and further me with thy continual Help that in all my Works begun continued and ended in thee I may glorifie thy holy Name and finally by thy mercy obtain Everlasting Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
