animadversion_n on_o the_o last_o speech_n of_o william_n viscount_n stafford_n who_o be_v behead_v on_o tower-hill_n for_o high_a treason_n in_o conspire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n etc._n etc._n on_o wednesday_n december_n 29_o 1680._o die_v man_n word_n be_v general_o much_o regard_v and_o protestant_n who_o make_n conscience_n of_o their_o own_o word_n and_o count_v it_o a_o horrid_a crime_n to_o speak_v otherwise_o than_o think_v when_o they_o be_v die_v may_v be_v ready_a to_o take_v the_o measure_n of_o other_o by_o themselves_o and_o to_o judge_v those_o guiltless_a who_o when_o they_o be_v die_v assert_v their_o innocency_n with_o the_o high_a asseveration_n but_o they_o will_v find_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o alter_v their_o opinion_n if_o they_o take_v but_o due_a notice_n how_o very_o clear_a the_o evidence_n be_v by_o which_o this_o miserable_a lord_n be_v cast_v and_o if_o withal_o they_o do_v but_o full_o understand_v the_o popish_a principle_n which_o destroy_v all_o confidence_n in_o their_o word_n live_v and_o die_v full_o to_o convince_v protestant_n my_o design_n shall_v be_v to_o prove_v that_o by_o the_o common_a doctrine_n receive_v among_o they_o they_o be_v furnish_v with_o expedient_n whereby_o they_o may_v deny_v what_o be_v most_o true_a and_o affirm_v what_o be_v most_o notorious_o false_a and_o that_o with_o the_o most_o solmn_a oath_n or_o dreadful_a imprecation_n and_o yet_o neither_o lie_v nor_o be_v forswear_v nor_o any_o way_n sin_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n and_o this_o they_o may_v do_v even_o when_o die_a their_o main_a artifice_n be_v that_o which_o they_o call_v mental_a equivocation_n because_o of_o a_o double_a sense_n in_o some_o proposition_n partly_o express_v and_o partly_o reserve_v in_o their_o mind_n so_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v true_a in_o their_o own_o sense_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o mental_a reservation_n but_o false_a in_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o that_o hear_v it_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v allow_v by_o all_o sort_n of_o papist_n and_o particular_o the_o jesuit_n it_o be_v a_o art_n more_o dear_a to_o they_o and_o often_o use_v by_o they_o then_o any_o other_o fraudulent_a art_n whatever_o because_o this_o fraud_n be_v more_o easy_a less_o discernible_a and_o the_o advantage_n of_o it_o admirable_a and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o they_o do_v not_o decline_v it_o at_o trial_n in_o court_n of_o judicature_n no_o nor_o when_o they_o be_v die_v and_o approach_v the_o tribunial_n of_o the_o great_a judge_n though_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n be_v then_o if_o ever_o necessary_a but_o this_o our_o poor_a decease_a lord_n have_v more_o pertinent_a instance_n of_o those_o of_o his_o principle_n and_o circumstance_n to_o encourage_v he_o with_o oath_n and_o asseveration_n to_o assert_v a_o falsehood_n and_o deny_v the_o truth_n to_o instance_n in_o their_o practice_n father_n garnet_n whitebread_n predecessor_n in_o office_n and_o practice_n and_o one_o concern_v in_o the_o gunpowder_n plot_n be_v notorious_o guilty_a herein_o for_o he_o deny_v that_o by_o solemn_a oat●s_n and_o imprecation_n before_o the_o lord_n commissioner_n which_o be_v afterward_o prove_v upon_o he_o and_o his_o only_a plea_n for_o himself_o be_v this_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n so_o likewise_o tresham_n another_o of_o the_o powder_n plotter_n say_v that_o garnet_n be_v privy_a to_o the_o treason_n but_o afterward_o just_a before_o his_o death_n take_v it_o upon_o his_o salvation_n that_o he_o have_v accuse_v garnet_n wrongful_o and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o see_v he_o of_o sixteen_o year_n before_o and_o so_o die_v but_o this_o his_o protestation_n and_o oath_n be_v soon_o after_o prove_v notorious_o false_a yea_o garnet_n himself_o confess_v that_o within_o sixteen_o year_n he_o have_v see_v he_o many_o time_n whereupon_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v think_v of_o treshams_n die_a oath_n and_o protestation_n he_o answer_v possible_o tresham_n mean_v to_o equivocate_v and_o this_o very_a doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n be_v justify_v by_o garnet_n in_o a_o manuscript_n leave_v by_o he_o which_o be_v communicate_v by_o king_n james_n to_o the_o famous_a causabon_n both_o the_o story_n before_o name_v may_v be_v find_v at_o large_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gunpowder_n treason_n and_o in_o the_o proceed_n against_o those_o traitor_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v practise_v of_o old_a and_o justify_v by_o their_o teacher_n as_o lawful_a even_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n therefore_o we_o need_v not_o be_v surprise_v to_o find_v any_o papist_n use_v this_o art_n in_o his_o last_o speech_n but_o their_o principle_n be_v further_a considerable_a of_o which_o take_v some_o account_n first_o by_o their_o doctrine_n they_o may_v lawfu_o say_v what_o be_v false_a make_v use_n of_o a_o mental_a reservation_n and_o though_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a untruth_n in_o itself_o as_o express_v and_o they_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o use_v it_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o deceive_v other_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o reckon_v it_o to_o be_v a_o lie_n and_o consequent_o no_o sin_n and_o so_o need_v not_o fear_v use_v it_o when_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v affirm_v in_o distinct_a treatise_n of_o this_o subject_n by_o father_n person_n naver_n sanche_n

a_o few_o as_o in_o the_o first_o paragraph_n of_o his_o speech_n i_o do_v most_o true_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o eternal_a omnipotent_a and_o all-knowing_a god_n protest_v upon_o my_o

account_v then_o my_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o forth_o paragraph_n to_o my_o great_a and_o unspeakable_a grief_n i_o have_v offend_v god_n in_o many_o thing_n by_o many_o great_a offence_n but_o i_o give_v he_o most_o humble_a thanks_o not_o in_o any_o of_o those_o crime_n of_o which_o i_o be_v accuse_v in_o the_o six_o paragraph_n and_o if_o i_o have_v know_v of_o any_o treason_n and_o shall_v thus_o deny_v it_o as_o i_o do_v now_o upon_o my_o salvation_n at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o eleven_o paragraph_n i_o do_v now_o upon_o my_o death_n and_o salvation_n aver_v that_o i_o never_o speak_v one_o word_n either_o unto_o oat_n or_o turbervil_n or_o to_o my_o knowledge_n ever_o see_v they_o until_o my_o trial_n and_o for_o dugdale_n i_o never_o speak_v to_o he_o of_o any_o thing_n but_o about_o a_o footboy_n or_o footman_n or_o foot-race_n and_o never_o be_v then_o alone_o with_o he_o in_o the_o twelve_o and_o thirteen_o paragraph_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o i_o have_v some_o conscience_n for_o if_o i_o have_v none_o certain_o i_o will_v have_v save_v my_o life_n by_o

for_o i_o throw_v myself_o into_o eternal_a pain_n by_o thus_o plain_o and_o constant_o deny_v thus_o at_o my_o death_n the_o knowledge_n of_o what_o i_o be_o accuse_v of_o in_o the_o least_o i_o
