endeavour what lay in them that they might obtain of God the carrying on of their Convictions to a perfect work of Conversion Therefore I enquired of them what grounds they had to believe that God was reconciled to them in Christ I assured them that as the Enmity betwixt him and Sinners is mutual so he expected that they should be reconciled to him in casting away their rebellious dispositions as they desire he should be at peace with them in pardoning the guilt of their Sins that the chief Blessing of his Free-grace consisted in turning them from the love of all Iniquity that Christ may be formed in their hearts as the hope of glory This lively hope they could not have unless they were conformed to the power of his Death and Resurrection in dying to the indulgence of their Lusts and in being quickned to the life of Holiness Upon this they were desirous to be farther directed by me how they might proceed safely to hope for a blessed Eternity I told them they must be willing ingenuously and sincerely to declare what their former course of life had been and that the review of their Sins must be with as bitter a detestation as they had committed them with delight that so they might leave some publick Testimony of the truth of their Repentance because their Crimes had been so Notorious Hereupon Edwand Linsy Condemned for Feloniously deserting the Service of the King after he had taken Pay said that he was heartily sorry for his Crime and all other Sins whereby he had provoked God to leave him to such Disloyalty I told him that it was a great Crime to withdraw himself from the Service of His Majesty and that he could not have any pretence for it But this Disloyalty was founded on the breach of his Vow and Covenant made to and with Christ at his Baptism he had not fulfilled that Sacramental Oath wherein he engaged to forsake the Devil and all his Works that he might become Christ's faithful Servant and Soldier to his lifes end Neither can any man be truly Loyal to his earthly Sovereign who is not faithfully obedient to his heavenly Father and Almighty Redeemer Richard Hooker was not so affected and penitent for his Crime as he ought to have been Samuel Presby was formerly burnt in the hand yet took no warning and gave but a slender account of any remorse for his Sin Henry Cornish late Alderman of London was Indicted for High-Treason in conspiring the death of the late King with other Traytors to raise a Rebellion in order to subvert the Government was upon a full Evidence brought in Guilty who is to be executed in Cheapside facing King 〈◊〉 near Guildhall Also Mrs. Gaunt for harbouring and assisting several of the Rebels that were in the West was Convicted of High-Treason and Executed accordingly at Tyburn Mrs Elizabeth Gaunt was very morose and obstinate and would not admit the Ordinary to convince her of her great Crime nor to pray with her About Nine of the Clock in the morning those Prisoners Convicted of High-Treason were drawn in Sleds the others in Carts to the several places of Execution who seemed very penitent all the way they went Mr. Ordinary praying with them After which they exhorted the Spectators to take warning by their untimely End of the Effects of Sin Then they prayed earnestly by themselves desiring the People to pray for them after which they were all Executed Dated this 23d of October 1685.

These Persons following reeieved Sentence of Death viz. Samuel Presby Richard Hooker Edward Linsy Robert Nichols Thomas Crompton Mary Fisher Thomas Gardner Richard Jones Katharine Brown Matthew Morgan Mary Collwood Ann Davis The Ordinary earnestly Admonish'd them on the Lords day that they would redeem their mispent Time in a serious consideration for what special Sins the Lord had withdrawn his preventing Grace which he never doth till Sinners have quench'd the motions and excitations of his Holy Spirit enviting them by his Long Suffering unto Repentance Before the Ordinary began to read Prayers he advised all the Prisoners as his usual manner is to observe most Solemnly the the Lords Holy Day and to return unto him as the only rest of their Souls by seeking true Satisfaction and Delight in him and his Service from whom they wandred all the Week past by the Vanity of their Hearts and Conversations And that the Condemned Criminals in a special manner would be very Intentive on the publick Prayers of the Church and to the Sermons which should be Preach'd to them which they promised to do In the Forenoon the Ordinary Preach'd on the 21 Ver. of the fifth Chap. of St. Pauls Epistle to the Romans viz. As Sin hath reigned unto Death so hath Righteousness unto Life by Jesus Christ our Lord. From which he informed them of the deplorable Estate of all Men being virtually concerned in the Apostacy of the first Adam whose Sin was complicated with many Aggravations and that by the single Offence of this first Man being under the Covenant of Works as requiring of him personal perfect Obedience being Created after the Image of God in perfect Righteousness the least declination from his Obedience did involve most justly himself and all his Natural Posterity as being their common Representative and Trustee for them in the same State of Sin and Misery Thus his Sin reigned unto Death in all such who sin after the similitude of his Transgression Inasmuch that beside the vicious Inclination of their Nature they make his Sin become their Own by a voluntary increasing those sinful Dispositions inherent in themselves In like manner as a Vicious Off-spring do strengthen and augment an hereditary Disease by their proper and voluntary Intemperance and debauch'd Excesses Therefore it is very unreasonable and absurd to cast the blame of our personal Provocations upon any fatal Destiny in God or on the imputation of Adams first Sin to his Posterity considering that every Man entitles himself to the guilt of Adams Sin and adopts it voluntarily to become his own by treading in the same steps of Disobedience Here was declared what personal Sins became most deadly as being least capable of Gods Mercy in Pardoning of them then what are the poenal horrid consequences of such Sins they being more aggravated in their own Nature Also it was declared what are the characters by which we may discover which is that chief beloved Sin as reigning in us and will certainly prevail over us unto Death Eternal if not timely and sincerely Repented Hereupon was added many Arguments to mortifie such Sins chiefly lest they ●…eig●… unto Death Also the difference betwixt true and counterfeit mortification of Lus●s with directions how to subdue the Law of Sin that it may not prevail over us Then the Ordinary proceeded to shew the misery of all such in whom Sin reigns in the Love and Indulgence of it and that it is impossible to be set free from the Law of Sin and Death but only by the infinite Righteousness of Christs Active and Passive Obedience imputed to Sinners by Gods free Grace upon timely Repentance and a sincere Faith deriving strength from the influences of Christs Spirit for the renovation of their Hearts and universal Obedience to Gods Commandments inasmuch as true justifying Faith accepts of Christ in all his Offices in his Kingly Righteousness to rule us by his Laws and Spirit as well as to save us by his Priestly Righteousness This is the only true compleat method of Salvation because God hath sent his Son to bless us How By turning us from the love and dominion of all our Iniquities equally as in turning them from us in the damning guilt of them Thus God justifies none in an ungodly state We must first be Regenerated which contains Faith Repentance and new Obedience before we can obtain Gods actual Pardon in as much as these are the Terms and Qualifications of the Covenant of Grace to make us capable of the Benefits purchased by Christ for us so that his Kingly as well as Priestly Righteousness must reign in our Sanctification and obedience to his Laws that we may inherit Eternal Life As for that Objection That God Justifies the Ungodly it cannot be meant of such whom he finds in an Ungodly State but only of Regenerate Persons who are called Ungodly in a less degree as having still the remainders of Defilement in them which makes even them unlike to God as having ●…ot in this Life perfect Holiness and therefore Justification is not by our best inherent Righteousness which needs constant daily extending of Christs Righteousness to cover the s●ots of our holiest Services Here the Ordinary excited them to a regular Genuine Faith and Repentance that so as the Malignity and Infection of Adams Sin confirmed by their customary Excesses had reigned unto Death so the Benign efficacy of Christs Righteousness might reign more triumphantly in the infinite value and vertue of it as for our Justification so to produce in us by the Almighty Operations of his holy Spirit not only a state of Sanctification but with it all degrees of Spiritual Life in progressive Holiness till it be consummated in Eternal Glory Here those degrees of spiritual Life were enumerated and how Christs Righteousness reigns in those in a transcendent Efficacy beyond all the degrees of spiritual Death contracted by the Malignity and Defilement of the first Adam's Sin of ou● personal voluntary Pro●ocations After this the Ordinary made a * s hort Speech to the Condemned Malefactors and dismissed them with Prayer and the usual Benediction of the Church Liturgy In the Afternoon he read the solemn appointed Offices and another Sermon was preach'd to them on these Words To Day if you
