the_o last_o day_n and_o understanding_n i_o be_v refuse_v admittance_n on_o friday_n morning_n he_o send_v i_o word_n that_o he_o will_v glad_o see_v i_o at_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n i_o go_v thither_o and_o give_v he_o the_o absolution_n he_o request_v it_o be_v impracticable_a for_o i_o to_o do_v it_o elsewhere_o this_o office_n i_o perform_v word_n for_o word_n in_o form_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o sick_n and_o now_o where_o lie_v the_o great_a crime_n of_o all_o this_o when_o a_o man_n have_v declare_v his_o sorrow_n for_o all_o the_o fault_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o his_o life_n and_o qualify_v himself_o for_o the_o privilege_n of_o absolution_n with_o what_o justice_n can_v it_o be_v deny_v he_o ought_v not_o die_v person_n to_o be_v support_v in_o their_o last_o agony_n and_o pass_v into_o the_o other_o world_n with_o all_o the_o advantage_n the_o church_n can_v give_v they_o i_o be_o surprise_v so_o regular_a a_o proceed_v as_o this_o shall_v give_v so_o much_o offence_n and_o make_v so_o much_o a_o noise_n as_o i_o perceive_v it_o have_v do_v some_o people_n i_o understand_v be_v displease_v at_o the_o office_n be_v perform_v with_o imposition_n of_o hand_n now_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o innocent_a but_o a_o ancient_a ceremony_n of_o absolution_n it_o be_v the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o such_o case_n long_o before_o there_o be_v any_o exception_n to_o the_o roman_a communion_n it_o be_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o several_a father_n and_o good_a modern_a expositor_n refer_v to_o by_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 5.22_o it_o be_v likewise_o prescribe_v the_o assist_v presbyter_n in_o our_o own_o ordination-form_n but_o i_o suppose_v i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o in_o defence_n of_o this_o circumstance_n to_o proceed_v other_o seem_v very_o much_o shock_a at_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o think_v it_o a_o strange_a presumption_n to_o admit_v a_o person_n charge_v with_o so_o high_a a_o crime_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o absolution_n with_o submission_n this_o be_v conclude_v a_o great_a deal_n too_o fast_o be_v all_o people_n damn_v that_o be_v cast_v in_o a_o capital_a indictment_n if_o so_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v they_o visit_v by_o divine_n why_o be_v they_o exhort_v to_o repentance_n and_o have_v time_n allow_v they_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o death_n but_o if_o they_o may_v be_v acquit_v hereafter_o notwithstanding_o their_o condemnation_n here_o if_o they_o may_v be_v recover_v by_o recollection_n by_o repentance_n and_o resignation_n why_o shall_v the_o church_n refuse_v they_o her_o pardon_n on_o earth_n when_o she_o believe_v it_o be_v pass_v in_o heaven_n the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v give_v for_o this_o purpose_n that_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n may_v bind_v or_o loose_v as_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o person_n require_v the_o latter_a i_o sincere_o believe_v to_o be_v sir_n william_n case_n i_o judge_v he_o to_o have_v a_o full_a right_n to_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o communion_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o deny_v he_o absolution_n upon_o his_o request_n i_o have_v fail_v in_o my_o duty_n and_o go_v against_o the_o authority_n both_o of_o the_o ancient_n and_o english_a church_n i_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o nature_n o●_n this_o gentleman_n harge_n require_v his_o be_v absolve_v in_o private_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v so_o be_v have_v be_v have_v i_o be_v permit_v to_o visit_v he_o the_o last_o morning_n but_o this_o liberty_n be_v refuse_v i_o more_o than_o once_o and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v blame_v for_o impossibility_n of_o other_o man_n make_v in_o short_a he_o seem_v very_o desirous_a of_o absolution_n at_o my_o hand_n as_o be_v the_o only_a person_n acquaint_v with_o his_o condition_n private_o it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o power_n to_o give_v it_o he_o so_o that_o he_o must_v either_o receive_v it_o public_o from_o i_o or_o not_o at_o all_o but_o sir_n william_n confess_v himself_o acquaint_v with_o the_o intend_a assassination_n pray_v do_v he_o confess_v it_o to_o i_o and_o have_v i_o reveal_v any_o part_n of_o his_o confession_n then_o i_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o high_a misdemeanour_n indeed_o i_o have_v break_v the_o 113th_o cannon_n and_o be_v pronounce_v irregular_a by_o the_o church_n and_o he_o that_o fall_v under_o irregularity_n be_v for_o ever_o after_o incapable_a of_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n dr._n heylin_n introduct_n to_o cyprian_a angel_n p._n 6._o i_o confess_v there_o be_v a_o exception_n in_o the_o canon_n but_o that_o do_v not_o reach_v the_o case_n in_o hand_n even_o upon_o the_o large_a supposition_n well!_o but_o sir_n william_n own_a this_o charge_n before_o the_o committee_n how_o can_v i_o know_v that_o i_o neither_o see_v sir_n william_n after_o his_o examination_n till_o friday_n noon_n nor_o the_o vote_n which_o mention_v it_o till_o after_o that_o time_n but_o he_o confess_v it_o in_o his_o paper_n what_o then_o which_o way_n do_v the_o paper_n concern_v i_o it_o be_v well_o know_v sir_n william_n parkins_n be_v a_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o breed_v to_o law_n and_o letter_n and_o need_v no_o help_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o write_v a_o few_o line_n beside_o i_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o come_v near_o he_o for_o more_o than_o two_o day_n be_v before_o he_o suffer_v neither_o be_v he_o allow_v so_o much_o as_o pen_n and_o ink_n till_o the_o last_o morning_n then_o it_o be_v that_o he_o pen_v his_o speech_n as_o i_o be_o tell_v by_o those_o who_o be_v present_a and_o have_v read_v it_o before_o the_o keeper_n deliver_v a_o copy_n of_o it_o to_o a_o friend_n which_o be_v not_o show_v to_o i_o till_o after_o the_o execution_n indeed_o i_o do_v believe_v he_o will_v leave_v some_o paper_n behind_o he_o both_o because_o it_o be_v customary_a upon_o such_o sad_a occasion_n and_o because_o on_o tuesday_n night_n when_o he_o expect_v death_n on_o wednesday_n he_o desire_v pen_n ink_n and_o paper_n for_o that_o purpose_n answer_n no_o body_n blame_v mr._n collier_n for_o visit_a sir_n william_n in_o prison_n or_o for_o attend_v he_o at_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n but_o he_o be_v just_o blamable_a for_o give_v public_a absolution_n to_o a_o man_n who_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o public_a fault_n both_o in_o our_o sense_n and_o in_o his_o own_o without_o public_a repentance_n which_o be_v a_o direct_a impeachment_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o a_o solemn_a declaration_n to_o all_o the_o beholder_n that_o sir_n william_n have_v do_v nothing_o worthy_a of_o death_n but_o be_v a_o martyr_n and_o no_o malefactor_n if_o the_o ordinary_a of_o newgate_n shall_v precume_v to_o absolve_v notorious_a felon_n or_o highwayman_n at_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n without_o a_o public_a declaration_n of_o their_o sorrow_n for_o their_o crime_n all_o man_n will_v say_v that_o he_o do_v thereby_o encourage_v felony_n and_o robbery_n and_o why_o the_o government_n shall_v not_o put_v the_o like_a construction_n upon_o mr._n collier_n absolution_n of_o sir_n william_n parkins_n who_o be_v condemn_v for_o endeavour_v to_o murder_n the_o king_n and_o procure_v a_o invasion_n from_o france_n let_v his_o own_o reason_n answer_v and_o why_o his_o own_o party_n shall_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o encourager_n of_o those_o who_o deny_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o true_a religion_n see_v he_o absolve_v one_o who_o be_v notorious_o guilty_a of_o that_o crime_n in_o their_o sense_n without_o public_a repentance_n let_v he_o answer_v it_o to_o they_o and_o his_o own_o conscience_n it_o be_v true_a he_o allege_v that_o sir_n william_n declare_v his_o sorrow_n for_o all_o the_o fault_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o his_o life_n and_o qualify_v himself_o for_o absolution_n but_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o his_o concern_n in_o the_o assassination_n or_o his_o take_v the_o oath_n to_o king_n william_n be_v among_o those_o fault_n and_o though_o he_o real_o have_v confess_v they_o certain_o mr._n collier_n will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o say_v that_o a_o private_a confession_n be_v atonement_n enough_o for_o public_a sin_n the_o very_a light_n of_o reason_n will_v teach_v he_o that_o sir_n william_n ought_v to_o have_v make_v public_a satisfaction_n to_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v give_v a_o public_a offence_n and_o mr._n collier_n can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o apostle_n command_v to_o timothy_n 1_o ep._n 5.20_o to_o rebuke_v they_o that_o sin_n open_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o all_o and_o see_v he_o seem_v to_o think_v that_o the_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n mention_v in_o the_o 22._o v._n refer_v to_o absotion_n he_o ought_v have_v take_v heed_n to_o the_o command_n not_o to_o do_v it_o sudden_o which_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v contravene_v
