bloud which is here spilt may be even the last which may fall among us and truly I should lay down mylife with as much chearfulness as ever person did if I conceived that there would no more bloud follow us for a State or Affairs that are built upon bloud is a foundation for the most part that doth not prosper After the blessing that I give to the Nation to the Kingdom and truly to the Parliament I do wish with all my heart happinesse and a blessing to all those that have been authors in this businesse and truly that have been authors in this very work that bringeth us hither I do not onely forgive them but I pray heartily and really for them as God will forgive my sins so I desire God may forgive them I have a particular relation as I am Chancellour of Cambridge and truly I must here since it is the last of my prayers pray to God that that University may go on in that happy way which it is in that God may make it a Nursery to plant those persons that may be distributed to the Kingdome that the souls of the people may receive a great benefit and a great advantage by them and I hope God will reward them for their kindnesse and their affections that I have found from them * I have said what Religion I have been bred in what Religion I have been borne in what Religion I have practised I began with it and I must end with it I told you that my actions and my life have not been agreeable to my breeding I have told you likewise that the family where I was bred hath been an exemplary family I may say so I hope without vanity of much affection to Religion and of much faithfulnesse to this Kingdome and to this State I have indeavoured to do those actions that have become an honest man and which became a good Englishman and which became a good Christian I have been willing to oblige those that have been in trouble those that have been in persecution and truly I find a great reward of it for I have found their prayers and their kindnesse now in this distresse and in this condition I am in and I thinke it a great reward and I pray God reward them for it I am a great sinner and I hope God will be pleased to heare my prayers to give me faith to trust in him that as he hath called me to death at this place he will make it but a passage to an eternall life through Jesus Christ which I trust to which I rely upon and which I expect by the mercy of God And so I pray God blesse you all and send that you may see this to be the last execution and the last bloud that is likely to bee spilt among you And then turning to the side-raile he prayed for a good space of time after which M. Bolton said My Lord Now look upon him whom you have trusted My Lord I hope that here is your last prayer there will no more praiers remain but praises And I hope that after this day is over there will a day begin that shall never have end And I look upon this my Lord the morning of it the morning of that day My Lord you know where your fulnesse lies where your riches lie where is your onely rocke to anchor on You know there is fulnesse in Christ If the Lord comes not in with fulnesse of comfort to you yet resolve to wait upon him while you live and to trust in him when you die and then say I will die here I will perish at thy feet I will be found dead at the feet of Jesus Christ Certainly he that came to seek and save lost sinners will not reject lost sinners when they come to seek him Hee that intreateth us to come will not sleight us when we come to intreat him My Lord there is enough there and fix your heart there and fix your eyes there that eye of Faith and that eye of hope exercise these graces now there will be no exercise hereafter As your Lordship said here take an end of Faith and take an end of Hope and take a farewell of Repentance and all these and welcome God and welcome Christ and welcome Glory and welcome Happinesse to all Eternity and so it will be a happy passage then if it bee a passage here from misery to happinesse And though it be but a sad way yet if it will bring you into the presence of joy although it be a valley of tears although it be a shadow of death yet if God will please to bring you and make it a passage to that happinesse welcome Lord And I doubt not but God will give you a heart to taste some sweetnesse and love in this bitter potion and to see somthing of mercy and goodnesse to you and shew you some signe and token of good so that your soule may see that which we have had already experience of blessed be God for it many experiences many expressions not onely in words but tears God hath not left us without much comfort nor evidence and I hope my Lord you that have given so many evidences to us I hope you want none your selfe but that the Lord will be pleased to uphold and support you and bear up your spirit and if there want evidence there is reliance my security lies not in my knowing that I shall come to heaven and come to glory but in my resting and relying upon him When the Anchor of Faith is throwne out there may be shakings and tossings but there is safety nothing shall interrupt safety although somthing may interrupt security my safety is sure although I apprehend it not and what if I go to God in the dark what if I come to him as Nicodemus did staggering in the night It is a night of trouble a night of darknesse though I come trembling and staggering in this night yet I shall be sure to find comfort fixednesse in him And the Lord of heaven be the strength stay and the support of your soul and the Lord furnish you with all those graces which may carry you into the bosome of the Lord Jesus that when you expire this life you may be able to expire it into him in whom you may begin to live to all eternity and that is my humble prayer Holland M.
