embraced Popery in Italy chusing rather to live in the Communion of that corrupt Church in the practise of fundamental truths confessed to be then mixed with some errors than to stay here where was hardly the face of any Church after the overthrow of those to make way for all errors being resolved to any Religion than that which taught a holy Rebellion and Perjury a pious Sacriledge a godly Parracide and made the very horrors of nature the glory of Christianity And died of a Feaver the holy order of his soul over-heating his body Canon of Loretto whence he was carried to heaven as that

the witnesses of it the scum of Mankind two or three raked out of Prisons and Goals not a man of reputation or worth two pence in the three kingdoms notwithstanding a Proclamation to invite all persons to witness against the King appearing to promote so horrid a fact and these hired men of Belial with the hope of a morsel of bread The King was always of an even temper but never more than in this case retaining a Majesty becoming himself in his misery and looking as if he were as he ought to be indeed the Judge and they as they were indeed the Malefactors Smiling as he might well as far

to the Cause but to its Fate Have stood aloof Engaged on neither side Prepared at last to strike in with the Tide But well-weighed Reason told him that when Law Either's Renounced or Misapplied by th' awe Of false-nam'd Patriots that when the Right Of King and Subject is suppress'd by Might When all Religion either is refused As meer pretence or meerly as that used When thus the fury of Ambition swells Who is not active modestly Rebels VVhence in a just Esteem to Church and Crown He offered all and nothing thought his own This thrust him into Action whole and free Knowing no Interest but

to fall with him sworn not to yeild Each sought an honored Grave so gain'd the Field Thus he being fallen his action Fought anew And the Dead Conquered whiles the Living slew This was not Natures
