Watson on Horse back putting off his Hat said to him God be with you Sir God reward you Sir Here must now be my Anchor a great storm makes me find my Anchor and but in stormes no body trust to their Anchor and therefore I must trust upon my Anchor Upon that God said Mr Bolton upon whom your Anchor trusts yea God I hope will Anchor my soule fast upon Christ Jesus and if I dye not with that clearnesse and heartinesse that you speak of truly I will trust in God though he kill me I will relye upon him and the mercy of my Saviour Then the Earl of Holland imbraced Liev Col Beecher and tooke his leave of him After which he came to Mr Bolton and having imbraced him and returned him many thanks for his great paines and affections to his soule desiring God to reward him and returne his love into his bosome Mr Bolton said to him The Lord God support you and be seen in this great extremity the Lord reveale and discover himselfe to you and make your death the passage unto eternall life Then the Earl turning to the Executioner said Here my friend let my Cloaths and my Body alone there is ten pounds for thee that is better then try Cloaths I am sure of it Execut.

Then turning to his Servants be said to one Fare you well thou art an honest fellow and to another God be with thee thou art an honest man and then said Stay I will kneel down and aske God forgivenesse and then prayed for a pretty space with seeming earnestnesse Then speaking to the Executioner he said Which is the way of lying which they shewed him and then going to the Front of the Scaffold he said to the people God blesse you all and God deliver you from any such act as may bring you to any such death as is violent either by war or by these accidents but that there may be peace among you and you may find that these accidents that have hapned to us may be the last that may happen in this Kingdome it is that I desire it is that I beg of God next the saving of my soule I pray God give all happinesse to this Kingdom to this people and this Nation And then turning to the Executioner said How must I lye I know not Execut. Lye down flat upon your Belly and then having laid himselfe down he said Must I lye closer Execut. Yes and backwarder I will tell you when you shall strike and then as he lay seemed to pray with much affection for a short space and then lifting up his head said where is the man and seeing the Executioner by him he said Stay while I give the signe and presently after stretching out his hand and the Executioner being not fully ready he said Now now and just as the words were coming out of his mouth the Executioner at one blow severed his Head from his Body The Speech of the Lord Capel upon the Scaffold THe Conclusion that I made with those that sent me hither and are the cause of this violent death of mine shall be the beginning of what I shall say to you When I made an Address to them which was the last I told them with much sincerity That I would pray to the God of all mercies that they might be partakes of his inestimable and boundlesse mercy in Jesus Christ and truly I shall pray that prayer and I beseech the God of Heaven forgive any injury they have done to me from my soule I wish it And truly this I tell you as a Christian to let you see I am a Christian But it is necessary I should tell you somewhat more That I am a Protestant and truly I am a Protestant and very much in love with the profession of it after the manner as it wa● established in England by the thirty nine Article● a blessed way of profession and such a one as truly I never knew none so good I am so far from being a Papist which some body have truly very unwo●thily at some time charged me withall that truly I professe to you that though I love Good Works and commend Good Works yet I hold they have nothing at all to doe in the matter of Salvation my Anchor-hold is this That Christ loved me and gave himselfe for me that is it that I rest upon And truly something I shall say to you as a Citizen of the whole world and in that consideration I am here condemned to dye truly contrary to the Law that Governs all the world that is The Law of the Sword I had the protection of that for my life and honour of it but truly I will not trouble you much with that because in another place I have spoken very largely and liberall about it I believe you will hear by other means what arguments I used in that case But truly that that is stranger you that are English men behold here an English man now before you and acknowledged a Peer not condemned to dye by any Law of Engl. not by any Law of England nay shall I tell you which is strangest of all contrary to all the Lawes of Engl that I know of And truly I will tell you in the matter of the civill part of my death and the Cause I have maintained I dye I take it for maintaining the fifth Commandement enjoyned by God himselfe which enjoynes reverence and obedience to Parents All Divines on all hands though they contradict one another in many severall opinions yet all Divines on all hands doe acknowledge that here is intended Magistracy and Order and certainly I have obeyed that Magistracy and the Order under which I have lived which I was bound to obey and truly I doe say very confidently that I do dye here for keeping for obeying that fifth Commandement given by God himselfe and written with his own finger And now Gentlemen I will take this opportunity to tell you that I can not imitate a better nor a greater ingenuity then his that said of himselfe For suffering an unjust judgement upon another himselfe was brought to suffer by an unjust judgement Truly Gentlemen that God may be glorified that all men that are

diligent enquiry into his will your Petitioner is convinced that the alterations of Civill Governments are ordered by and founded upon the wise and righteous providences of God who removeth Kings and setteth up Kings ruleth in the Kingdomes of men and giveth them to whomsoever he will That the providences of this God have in the judgement of your Petitioner as evidently appeared in the removing of others from and the investing your Honours with the Government of this Nation as ever they appeared in the taking away or bestowing of any Government in any History of any age of the World That he apprehends that a refusall to be subject to this present au●hority under the p●etence of upholding the Title of any one upon earth is a refusall to acquiesce in the wise and righteous pleasure of God such an opposing of the Government set up by the Soveraign Lord of Heaven and Earth as none can have peace either in acting in or suffering for and that your Petitioner looks upon it as his duty to yeeld to this authority all active and cheerfull obedience in the Lord even for Conscience sake to promise he being required truth and fidelity to it and to hold forth the grounds of his so doing to any as God shall call him thereunto That though an imprisonment accompanied with the losse of Estate and to be followed without your gracious prevention with a speedy Arraignment before a high and eminent Judicatory are far from being pleasant to flesh and blood and though the injoyment of your grace and favour be a blessing most deserving to be reckoned among the best of temporals yet that neither the feeling and fearing of the former nor the expectation of the latter could have induced your Petitioner against the light of his owne judgement and the prepondering part of his owne conscience to have made or presenting this acknowledgment he sadly fore-casting that a whole skin is but a contemptible recompence for a wounded conscience WIL JENKIN Sept. 3. 1651.
