same with this Motto Si non simul semel at paulatim sensim sit mutatio fact a. Mr. Gawen's Legacy I must confess that I rather choose to die rather then confess Truth at the Gallows my most Noble Friends I have not much to bequeath you of any Worldly Talents only what Talent I claim by vertue of my Function as a Jesuit that is a certain Authority more then Travellers challenge for Lying which I improv'd to the last minute and leave unto you both Interest and Principle to manage to the best advantage as necessary to your present Estate as well as mine since according to our Principles it is both lawful and necessary to Lye and Outface the Truth even by Oath and Imprecations nay outbrave Death and Judgment and like brave Roman Heroes sacrifice Soul and Body for the Holy Catholick Interest rather then by a Cowardly Confession to betray the Cause you undertook and give and allow you all liberty to exercise the same As also a full power to Kill Rob and Spoil Hereticks as fully as it is granted you by the Lateran Council I do likewise bequeath unto you all my share part and portion of all the Goods Chatels Moveables and Estates of any Heretick Prince Prelate or People which are already confiscated by the same Concil and which might or ought by Writ of Partition fall unto my Lot when it comes into your hands In recompence whereof I do enjoyn you to erect ten thousand Chapels in ten thousand several places where ten thousand Priests may say ten thousand Masses every day for ten thousand years to make Atonement for the last abominable Lye I told for I find less time will hardly redeem me from this Purgatory Father John Fenwick's last Legacy TO strengthen your Resolutions my noble Friends in the holy Cause you have undertaken I John Fenwick leave you my Impudence to outface Justice and the Truth and my Innocency to palliate your Guilt when you are convicted And that you may not stammer at a Lye at the last gasp I leave you my Tongue to be your Advocate and two drams of my Brains for a Council's Fee my Privities which were the first Martyrs before my self I do bequeath to the Mother-Church which the Hereticks call the Scarlet Whore and Whore of Babylon to get many such Phaenixes out of the Ashes My nether Jaw I leave to my Lord for a Brandy-Cup my Skull for a Snuff-Box and my Bowels to your L to be spun into a Clew of Innocency to lead you out of your present Labyrinth Lastly I leave you my Advice still to assert your Innocence lay the Plot and and others Fee-deep for Prorogations and Dissolutions bribe O and B if you cannot do that at least lessen their Evidence by reviling their Persons and deny all with Oaths and Imprecations even upon the Scaffold We do also as Proto-Martyrs in the same Cause for and in the name and by and with the consent of them and every of them present unto your Lordships Staley's Jewels after his Debts are paid that durst rail at Monarchy and proclaim his noble Resentments in publick Assemblies and had the honour to be the first Martyr whilst you sneak into blind Corners whisper your Treasons like Confessions into each others Ears and suffer others basely to go before you whilst the quality of your Worth and Dignity of your persons ought to prefer you before the rest We do also bequeath unto you three Locks of his Hair to make a Golden Tower for the Queen of Babylon that his early and forward zeal may be writ in Rubricks in her forehead and his Effigies as it is now sold at Westminster-hall like Mahomet hanging Geometrically in the Air with a numerous retinue of Staves and Halberts by way of Trophyes inserted in the very Porch and Frontispiece of the Mother-Church We had a design to present her also with three Locks of Mr. Coleman's Wig if all our small Patrimony could purchase it but that his Relict hath converted them to a better use having sold them for a Guiney a Hair to make Rings for the surviving Brethren to walk invisibly However as more material and better proofs of his good service we recommend unto you his Original Letters to be inrol'd amongst the Epistles of the Apostles writ by their own hands to be preserved as Relicks in the Vatican As likewise his Gloves and Sword which you must purchase from Mr. in Hay-Market for 100 Guineys having refused fifty Pounds half a year since together with Grove's Dagger and Pickering's Pistol to be kept as Eternal Monuments amongst the Trophies in the Capitol with this Inscription Mors mihi non Regi And for fear you should want Stock to carry on the Design in this interlude of Action my Noble Friends we do present unto you the three thousand Pound per annum raised upon the Catholick Estates for carrying on the Design with threescore of Mr. L. the double Martyr his Penetential Scourges in Newgate to any that shall by any encouragement of Life Fortune or Estate make or incline to make hereafter any Confession Father Irelands Talents measured out by the Shackles of the Sanctuary at Rome lapt up in Sir Edmundbury Godfrey's Napkin till time and liberty give you opportunity to improve and convert it to its proper use together with Green-Berry-Hill to be set a part and consecrated for the Erecting a Monastry when the Government shall come into your hands where dayly Prayers may be said for the Saints departed FINIS
