Sea-man in order to his escape to Hamborough in a Collier but being discovered he was brought before Sir I. Chapman Lord Mayor of the City of London in a strange disguise very different from the Habit in which he formerly appeared And by reason of the Lord Mayors Indisposition he not being able to Commit him he offered to go to the Tower to be out of the hands of Rabble who there in great numbers with clubs and staves threatned him with present destruction But having a Guard of the Train'd-bands to conduct him he got thither safe and soon after was charged in custody by a Warrant of Commitment from the Lords at Whitehall where he continued under much affliction and indisposition having since moved for his Habeas Corpus to be bailed but was not able to attain it Thus he continued for some months in the Tower his Chronical Indispositions the Stone c. encreasing very fast upon him The ingenious Dr. Lower was his Pysician But Nature being now tired out by a tedious Combat with his Disease and the Guilt of his former bloody Life we hope it touched his Conscience He having besides by his intemperate Life notoriously known contracted an ill habit of Body he at last very happily for himself if not his Relations too dy'd in the Tower the Morning about Nine of the Clock An. Dom. 1689. Thus Reader you have seen the Rise and Fall of this unfortunate Great Ill Man And so at present after we have endeavoured at his Character we take our Farewel Jeffreys's Character HE was of Stature rather above a middle sort than below it his Complexion inclining to Fair his Face well enough full of a certain briskness tho' mixt with an Air a little malicious and unpleasant He was a man of tolerable Sense and had as of necessity he must by so long practice and going through such publick Places got some Law tho' as little as 't was more than he had occasion to make use of since the Dispensing Power having as good as seated all Law in the Kings Breast he by that found out a more compendious method of attaining it than was formerly known He had a pretty large stock of Ill Nature and Wit in which lay his greatest Excellency tho a very unenvy'd one But in fine His Brow and his Tongue wereabsolutely the two best Accomplishments he was Master of By the help of which and that before mentioned by his brisk sudden and sharp Interrogatories he sometimes put falshood and perhaps oftner the truth it self out of countenance But that ill-favour'd Wit which he had lay all of the wrong side muchlike that of those unlucky Animals all whose Wit lies in tricks and mischief He spoke many pleasant things but very few handsom ones disgracing all with intolerable Railing mean passions and perfect Billingsgate and would commonly even upon the Bench it self fall into Heats both as to words and actions not only unworthy of a Judge but even of any prudent man. He seem'd without wronging him to have a great deal of baseness and cruelty in his Nature having a particular delight and relish in cruelty and blood and such things as give horror aversion to all the rest of mankind He was in this case worse than even Nero for whereas that Monster had once so much good Nature or at least pretended it that when he was to sign a Warrant for the execution of a Malefactor he is said to have wish'd he had never learnt to write Jeffreys on the other side then only seem'd in his Element when in the midst of Destruction and Murther For his Religion What a sort of one 't was his Life past sufficiently tells us tho he and his Good Brother Commissioner the Balswagger of Chester maliciously persuade the world that they were of the Church of England that after they cou'd do it no more mischief with their Lives they might disgrace it by their Deaths pretending both to die in that Communion But 't is mean to follow 'em any further unless with a wish somewhat like that handsom one History leaves us That all K.
