and every one may fear the Lord that they may consider their latter End and so it may be well with them And even for the worst of those that have been most malicious against me from my Soul I would forgive them all so far as any Thing concerns me and so far as it concerns the Cause and Glory of God I leave it for him to plead and as for the Cause of God I am willing to justifie it by my Sufferings according to the good Pleasure of his Will I have been this Morning before I came hither so hurried up and down Stairs the meaning whereof I knew not that my Spirits are almost spent therefore you may not expect much from me Oh the greatness of the Love of God to such a Poor Vile and Nothing-creature as I am What am I that Jesus Christ should shed his Heart's-Blood for me that I might be Happy to all Eternity that I might be made a Son of God and an Heir of Heaven O that Christ should undergo so great Sufferings and Reproaches for me and should not I be willing to lay down my Life and suffer Reproaches for him that hath so loved me Blessed be the Name of God that I have a Life to lose upon so Glorious and so Honourable an Account Then praying to himself with Tears and having ended the Hangman pull'd down his Cap but he thrust it up again saying I have one Word more to the Lord's People that desire to serve him with an upright Heart Let them not think hardly of any of the good Ways of God for all this for I have been near this Seven Years a Suffering Person and have found the Way of God to be a perfect Way his Word a tried Word a Buckler to them that trust in him and will make known his Glorious Arm in the sight of all Nations And though we may suffer hard Things yet he hath a Gracious End and will make for his own Glory and the good End of his People Therefore be cheerful in the Lord your God hold fast that which you have and be not afraid of Suffering for God will make hard and bitter Things sweet and easie to all those that trust in him Keep close to the good Confession you have made of Jesus Christ and look to the Recompence of Reward be not discouraged by Reason of the Cloud that now is upon you for the Sun will shine and God will give a Testimony unto what he hath been doing in a short Time And now I desire to commit my Concernment into the Hands of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ he that hath delivered himself for the Chief of Sinners he that came into the World was made Flesh and was Crucified that hath Loved me and Washed me from my Sins in his own Blood and is Risen again sitting at the Right Hand of God making Intercession for me And as for me Oh who am I Poor Base Vile Worm that God should deal thus by me for this will make me come the sooner into his Glory and to inherit the Kingdom and that Crown prepared for me Oh I have served a good Lord and Master which hath helped me from my Beginning to this Day and hath carried me through many Difficulties Trials Straits and Temptations and hath always been a very present Help in Time of Trouble he hath covered my Head many Times in the Day of Battle By God I have leaped over a Wall by God I have run through a Troop and by my God I will go through this Death and he will make it easie to me Now into thy Hands O Lord Jesus I commit my Spirit After which Sentence was fully Executed on him and his Head set on the South-East End of Westminster-Hall and his Quarters upon the City Gates OBSERVATIONS TO commit Villany unparallell'd and bravely to outface Death is the Badge of a desperate Traytor and an unhappy Christian In this Man's Life I find nothing of Repentance as if the Murther of a King and the Ruin of Church and State were of so slight a Consequence that among Birds of his own Feather Treason becomes Meritorious and his Detestable Death a Glorious Martyrdom He calls it God's Cause nay the very Interest of the Son of God his Usurpation he terms the Fear of the Lord unheard-of Impudence Can God be the Author of Treason Or can Man expect Mercy from God's Hands that voluntarily transgresseth Prosperum felix scelus virtus vocatur was Heathenish Philosophy though without Question a Maxim in the Commonwealth of his Conscience whilst Religion was made the Stalking-horse to his Rebellion Monday following being the 15th of October about the same Hour Mr. John Carew was carried to the same Place of Execution WHen he was brought to the Gibbet before he went up the Ladder his Hands being bound he exhorted several Friends standing by to be faithful unto Death and not to be ashamed of the Cause for which they suffered and they should receive a Crown of Life And further said to a Friend that stood by that he hoped the Truths of the Kingdom which he had Preached up and down would not be the less esteemed for that he now came to Seal it with his Blood Mr. Carew's Speech upon the Ladder TRuly it is not Words nor that which I have to speak in mine own Spirit will Glorifie God or give any Advantage to your Souls or unto me but it is if I may speak a few Words in the Spirit of the Lord and in the Power of his Might and from an Unfeigned Love unto Jesus Christ that would indeed give me an open Entrance and make my Passage very Sweet and a Blessing may be left behind even upon you The first thing indeed that hath been very Weighty and I desire to leave it upon all upon Saints as well upon those that are not acquainted with Jesus Christ that Eternity Immortality and Eternal Life it is a wonderful Thing the Thoughts and Apprehensions of it are able to swallow up a poor Soul We little think what it is he that knows most of God and most of Christ and hath the greatest Measure of the Anointing he little little knows what it is to Appear before the Holy the most Glorious the most Righteous God of Heaven and Earth to stand before his Judgment-Seat before Jesus Christ that is at his Right-hand and where all the Holy Angels are so ashamed because of the Glory of God that they fall down and cover their Faces and cry Holy Holy Lord God Almighty which art and wast and art to come And therefore if such Glorious Creatures if such Excellent Spirits as these Seraphims and Cherubims be if they do fall down before the Glory and Majesty of this most Excellent and Wonderful God how should Dust and Ashes do And how should they Fear and Tremble to appear before him And there I say think of this and of the Righteousness of God as well as of his
