violent deaths that I have seen before principally my Saviour that hath shewed us the way how and in what manner he hath done it and for what cause I am the more comforted I am the more rejoyced It is not long since the King my Master passed in the same manner and truly I hope that his purposes intentions were such as a man may not be ashamed not only to follow him in the way that was taken with him but likewise not ashamed of his purposes if God had given him life I have often disputed with him concerning many things of this kind I conceive his sufferings his better knowledg better understanding if God had spared him life might have made him a Prince very happy towards himself very happy towards this Kingdom I have seen and known that those blessed Soules in heaven have passed thither by the gate of sorrow many by the gate of violence and since it is Gods pleasure to dispose me this way I submit my soul to him with all comfort and with all hope that he hath made this my end and this my conclusion that though I be low in death yet neverthelesse this lowness shal raise me to the highest glory for ever Truly I have not said much in publique to the People concerning the particular actions that I conceive I have done by my counsells in this Kingdom I conceive they are well known it were somthing of vanity me thinks to take notice of them here He rather die with them with the comfort of them in my own bosome and that I never intended in this action or any action that ever I did in my life either malice or bloodshed or prejudice to any creature that lives For that which concernes my Religion I made my profession before of it how I was bred and in what manner I was bred in a Family that was looked upon to be no little notorious in opposition to some liberties that they conceived then to bee taken and truly there was some marke upon mee as if I had some taint of it even throughout my whole wayes that I have taken every body knowes what my affections have beene to many that have suffered to many that have beene in troubles in this Kingdome I endeavoured to relieve them I endeavoured to oblige them I thought I was tied so by my Conscience I thought it by my charity and truly very much by my breeding God hath now brought me to the last instant of my time all that I can say and all that I can adhere unto is this That as I am a great sinner so I have a great Saviour that as hee hath given mee heere a fortune to come publiquely in a shew of shame in the way of this suffering truly I understand it not to bee so I understand it to bee a glorie a glorie when I consider who hath gone before mee and a glory when I consider I had no end in it but what I conceive to bee the service of God the King and the Kingdome and therefore my Heart is not charged much with any thing in that particular since I conceive God will accept of the intention whatsoever the action seeme to bee I am going to die and the Lord receive my Soule I have no reliance but upon Christ for my selfe I doe acknowledge that I am the unworthiest of sinners my life hath beene a vanity and a continued sinne and God may justly bring mee to this end for the finnes I have committed against him and were there nothing else but the iniquities that I have committed in the way of my Life I looke upon this as a great justice of God to bring me to this suffering and to bring mee to this punishment and those Hands that have beene most Active in it if any such there hath beene I pray God forgive them I pray God that there may not bee many such Trophees of their Victories but that this may bee as I said before the last shew that this people shall see of the bloud of persons of Condition of persons of Honor I might say something of the way of our Triall which certainely hath beene as extraordinary as any thing I thinke hath ever beene seene in this Kingdome but because that I would not seem as if I made some complaint I will not so much as mention it because no body shall believe I repine at their actions that I repine at my fortune It is the Will of God it is the Hand of God under whom I fall I take it intirely from him I submit my selfe to Him I shall desire to roule my selfe into the Armes of my blessed Saviour and when I come to this * place when I bow downe my selfe there I hope God will raise mee up and when I bid farewell as I must now to Hope and to Faith that love will abide I know nothing to accompany the soule out of this World but love and I hope that love will bring me to the fountaine of glory in Heaven through the Armes Mediation and the Mercy of my Saviour Iesus Christ in whom I believe O Lord help my unbeliefe Hodges The Lord make over unto you the righteousnesse of his owne Son it is that treasury that hee hath bestowed upon you and the Lord shew you the light of his countenance and fill youful with his joy and kindnesse O my dear Lord the Lord of Heaven and Earth be with you and the Lord of Heaven and Earth bring you to that safety Holl. I shall make as much hast as I can to come to that glory and the Lord of Heaven and Earth take my soule I looke upon my selfe intirely in Him and hope to finde mercy through Him I expect it and through that fountaine that is opened for sin and for uncleannesse my soule must receive it for did I rest in any thing else I have nothing but sinne and corruption in mee I have nothing but that which in stead of being carried up into the Armes of God and Glory I have nothing but may throw me downe into Hell Bolton But my Lord when you are cloathed with the righteousnesse of another you will appeare glorious though now sinfull in yourselfe The Apostle saith I desire not to be found in my owne Righteousnesse and when you are cloathed with another the Lord will owne you and I shall say but thus much doubt not that ever God will deny salvation to sinners that come to him when the end of all his death and sufferings was the salvation of sinners when as I say the whole end and the whole designe and the great Work that God had to doe in the world by the death of Christ wherein hee laid out all his Councels and infinite wisedome and mercy and goodnesse beyond which there was a Non ultra in Gods thoughts when this was the great designe and great end the salvation of sinners that poor fooles should come over to him and live
