Life I should cast away my Soul by sealing up my last Breath with a damnable Lye Mr. Gavon's Speech Dearly beloved Countrymen I Am now come to the last Scene of Mortality to the hour of my Death an hour which is the Horizon between Time and Eternity an hour which must either make me a Star to shine for ever in the Empire above or a Firebrand to burn everlastingly among the damned Souls in Hell below an hour in which if I deal sincerely and with a hearty sorrow acknowledge my Crimes I may hope for mercy but if I falsly deny them I must expect nothing but Eternal damnation and therefore what I shall say in this great hour I hope you will believe And now I do solemnly swear protest and vow by all that is Sacred in Heaven or on Earth and as I hope to see the face of God in Glory That I am as innocent as the Child unborn of those Treasonable Crimes which Mr. Oates and Mr. Dugdale swore against me in my Tryal and for which Sentence of Death was pass'd against me the day after my Tryal And that you may be assured I do in like manner protest and swear as I hope to see the face of God in Glory That I do not in what I say unto you make use of any Equivocation mental Reservation material Prolocution or any such ways to palliate Truth or if I do make use of any Dispensation from the Pope or any body else or of any Oath of Secrecy or any Absolution in Confession or out of Confession to deny the Truth but I speak in the plain sence which the words bear And if I do speak in any other terms to palliate hide or deny the Truth I wish with all my Soul that God may exclude me from his Heavenly Glory and condemn me to the lowest place of Hell fire And so much to that point And now dear Countrymen in the second place I do confess and own to the whole World that I am a Roman Catholick and a Priest and one of that sort of Priests which you call Jesuits And now because they are so falsly charged for holding the King-killing Doctrine I think it my duty to protest to you with my last dying words That neither I in particular nor the Jesuits in general hold any such Opinion but utterly abhorr and detest it And I assure you that among the vast number of Authors which among the Jesuits have printed Philosophy Divinity-Cases or Sermons there is not one to the best of my knowledge that allows of King-killing Doctrine or holds this position That it is lawful for a private person to kill a King although a Heretick Pagan or Tyrant There is I say not one Jesuit that holds this except Mariana the Spanish Jesuit and he defends it not absolutely but Problematically for which his Book was called in again and the Opinion expung'd and censured And is it not a sad thing that for the rashness of one single man whilst the rest cry out against him and hold the contrary that a whole Religious Order should be sentenced But I have not time now to discuss the point at large and therefore I refer you all to a Royal Author I mean the wise and victorious King Henry the 4th of France the Royal Grandfather of our present gracious King who in a publick Oration which he pronounced himself in defence of the Jesuits among other things declares That he was very well satisfied with the Jesuits Doctrine concerning Kings as believing it conformable to what the best Doctors of the Church have taught But why do I relate the Testimony of one particular Prince when the whole Catholick World is the Jesuits Advocate For to them chiefly Germany France Italy Spain and Flanders trust she Education of their Youth and to them in a great measure they trust their own Souls to be governed in the Sacraments And can you imagine so many great Kings and Princes and so many wise Statists should do or permit this to be done in their Kingdoms if the Jesuites were men of such damnable Principles as they are now taken for in England In the third place dear Countreymen I do Attest That as I never in my life did machine or contrive either the Deposing or Death of the King so now I do heartily desire of God to grant Him a quiet and happy Reign upon Earth and an everlasting Crown in Heaven For the Judges also and the Jury and all those which were any ways concerned either in my Trial Accusation or Condemnation I do humbly ask of God both temporal and eternal Happiness And as for Mr. Oates and Mr. Dugdale who I call God to witness have brought me by false Oaths to this untimely end I heartily forgive them because God commands me so to do and I beg of God in his infinite mercy to grant them true sorrow and repentance in this World that they may be capable of eternal Happiness in the next And so having discharged my Duty towards my Self and innocence to wards my Order and its Doctrine to my Neighbours and the World I have nothing else to do now my great God but to cast my self into the Arms of thy Mercy as firmly as I judge that I my self am as certainly as I believe that you are one divine Essence and three divine Persons and in the second Person of the Trinity you became Man to redeem me I also believe you are an eternal Rewarder of good and a Chastiser of bad In fine I believe all you have revealed for your infinite Veracity I hope in you above all things for your infinite Fidelity and I love you above all things for your infinite Beauty and Goodness and I am heartily sorry that ever I offended so great a God with my whole heart I am contended to undergo an ignominious Death for the Love of you my dear Jesus seeing you have been pleased to undergo an ignominious Death for me As for Mr. Turner he spake twice much to the same purpose and effect with his Brethren whose Speech being too long to be contain'd in this Sheet I thought fit to omit it But in sum He professed that he was wholly innocent as to any Plot or Conspiracy against the Life of his Sacred Majesty or the Subversion of the Government which he declared with great earnestness and asseveration praying God to forgive his Judges Jurors Witnesses and Accusers And so laying all their heads to Whitebread's after some secret conference they made their final Exit and Catastrophe
