SIR THough Tragedies bee sorrowfull representations yet the Spectators hauing beheld and seene the former acts they are likewise desirous to know the catastrophe So fareth it with you as I coniecture who hauing vnderstood by my former Letters what hath hitherto passed about this direfull acte you will likewise couet to heare the end of this execrable actor with other the consequencies which here you haue Two dayes since being the 18. of this moneth I was an eye witnes of the execution of this accursed creature which was in this maner as I shall here truely tell you As soone as hee was brought vpon the Scaffold in the ordinary place appointed Hee began first with crossing himselfe and the people as in deed he had truely done in an other sence For neuer came there a heauier crosse nor losse to any Nation then this vntimely death of this King to this kingdome Then fell hee downe vpon his knees making his Confession to the Priest What he said in particular could not be heard but the Priest thereupon there openly gaue him Absolution Then was hee layed naked vpon the Stage and pinched in diuers places with hot Pincers After which they burned his hand with the knife therein wherewith hee killed the King Then powred they hot lead into the wounds made with the Pincers And lastly drew him in pieces with horses His torments lasted two houres and at euery action with horrible cries and struggling he testified the sence he had of his paines Albeit all the while his torments lasted he ceased not speakeing and in the intermission thereof was demaunded diuers questions by his Confessor and by the Officers of Iustice but as it is said hee persisted obstinately without confessing any materiall thing The people did exceedingly reioyce to see him thus tormented And much adoe there was through their rage to bring him aliue to the execution and after his death they satisfied themselues what they could by dragging and trailing his members in great fury about the towne This was the maner of his death and all that is made knowen of his confession but there is generally conceiued a secret ielousie against the Iesuites And whatsoeuer of his confession is concealed may be presumed to be feare to discouer that of the Church of Rome which they are ashamed to lay open He suffered the torment onely twise before his death and had bin executed foure or fiue dayes sooner if the Queene by expresse commandement had not hindred it The causes of his speedie execution that are alledged by the Court of Parliament are these That by their forme of proceeding they neuer torment any man before he be condemned and keepe him not aliue aboue a day after That they feared he might die of his torments so they to be bereaued of his cōfession at his death and the people of so desired a spectacle who were much pleased and satisfied to see him so cruelly though deseruedly tortured He confessed that hee had conuersed and spoken with a certaine Iesuite in Paris called Father d' Aubigny but denied that he had in any sort cōmunicated his purpose vnto him but this Iesuite being examined vtterly denied that euer he had seene this man before which deniall made the matter the more suspicious they finde by letters written to this towne by autentical certificates that the very day of the Kings murther the day before there were reports spread thereof out of the Kingdome They say further that they doe well finde that the damnable Maximes which haue bene insinuated these 20. yeeres by seditious Bookes and Preachings in derogation of the sacrednesse and authority of Princes haue bene a chiefe occasion of this mischiefe A point which all Princes had neede neerely to regard And so St for this time I wil adde no more to your trouble what else may insue you shall heare soone after that I may know that to be true which I shall be about to tel you and other then truth you shall euer be assured neuer to receiue from mee and so I rest euer ready to doe you seruice Paris 20.
