and be no more that I may receive that comfort and satisfaction which I have longed and looked for Lord my hope is in thee thou wilt not fail them that put their trust in thee in thee is my trust and confidence if I perish I will perish at the feet of Jesus Christ O that thou wouldst humble me and seal up the pardon of my sins before I go hence and let thy Son Jesus Christ manifest his gracious presence with me and cloath me with that wedding garment of his righteousness and then take me into his arms and present me to his Father O that thou wouldest be pleased to strengthen and uphold me under this great stroke which thou hast been pleased to inflict upon me I kiss the rod and receive it thankfully from thy hand I had been undone to all eternity hadst thou not afflicted me blessed be thy Name that thou hast been pleased to send Jesus Christ upon him I depend upon him I cast my confidence who is the rock of ages and never failed any that came to him Hear me and answer me do for me and all thy Churches and people abundantly above what I can ask or think and all for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ to whom with thy self and thy holy Spirit be all honour power and praise henceforth and for evermore Amen Mr. Tonge his Prayer O Most Glorious and Eternal Lord God thou that hast created the heavens and the earth and formedst of dust us thy poor creatures to which we are now returning Lord I beseech thee speak peace to my poor soul lift up the light of thy countenance upon me and let me see in thee and through faith in thy dear Son Jesus Christ that I am in covenant with thee and reconciled with thee Holy Lord I beseech thee let me see thy dear Son Jesus Christ sitting at thy right hand reconciling of me to thy self Let me find my soul washed in the blood of the Covenant of thy dear Son Jesus Christ Seal a pardon to me thy poor creature O Lord one smile of thy countenance is worth all the world blessed be thy Name that thou hast supported me hitherto Lord God I beseech thee finish thy good work thou hast begun in me and go along with me and strengthen and hold me to drink off this bitter cup. Be with me to the end Remember the Governours of this Nation O that thou wouldest showr down upon the King and Council thy mercies as thou showrest down rain on the ground that they may rule for thee and those that fear thy Name may live in happiness and peace under thee for the sake of thy dear Son Jesus Christ O Lord we pray thee remember all thy people and be good to them and deliver them out of their troubles and speak peace to them and let them know thou wilt deliver them Keep me to the end and uphold me by thy right hand and so receve me with joy for the sake of thy dear Son Jesus Christ to whom be all honour and power henceforward and for evermore Amen Mr. Gibbs his Prayer O Eternal Everliving and Everloving God who art a reconciled and loving Father unto thy poor unworthy Creatures before thee and unto all the children whom thou hast called to believe in thee O Lord this is no small priviledge that sinful dust and ashes mortal worms should have to do and to deal with so holy and infinite a God as thou art to make requests unto thee considering the vast disproportion that there is between thee and poor sinners Thou art of purer eyes than to behold any unclean thing in thy presence O Lord. We our selves are nothing but polluted rags and fountains of uncleanness from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot all the faculties of the soul and members of the body are all members of unrighteousness Were it not therefore that thou hast been pleased to give us good hopes and found out a way to hold communion with us which is through the Lord Jesus in whom thou are well pleased in whom thou hast spoke forgiveness of sins to our souls we durst not now stand before thee but thou hast promised that though our sins are as scarlet thou wilt make them as white as snow and though they be as crimson thou wilt make them as wool Thou hast opened a fountain of free grace and eternal mercy for poor sinners that through the blood of the Lord Jesus they may receive remission forgiveness cleansing and purging from all their sins Thou hast laid an All-sufficient help upon him who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God by him We have nothing of our selves to bring unto God but sins to pardon and unclean souls to purge Thou hast been pleased to give thy Son and together with him freely to give us all things Thou hast given thy poor servant before thee saith that has brought salvation to his soul Thou hast saved him by thy free-grace not of works but through the mercies and blood of Jesus Christ and hast sprinkled the virtue of the blood of Christ in his conscience in the belief of the truth as it is in Jesus O blessed be thy Name that sent him to seek and to save us from condemnation who is risen with healing in his wings and hast set Christ before us that we should behold him that our sins have pierced Certainly great was that disease that needed such a medicine that nothing could expiate take away our sins and blot out the hand-writing that was against us but the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without spot he is now become our peace who has made peace for us through the blood of that his Cross and has made twain one in himself Jew and Gentile He was delivered up for our offences and rose again for our justification We in the knowledge of him being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ And blessed be thy Name O merciful God that has made such a Covenant of everlasting grace to poor sinners and the children that do believe in thee through Jesus Christ Thou hast said thou wilt be merciful to all our iniquities and sins and wilt remember them no more These are thy promises and they are Yea and Amen Christ in Jesus Thou hast made thy servant to hear thy voice in thy Son Thou hast been a merciful God to him and forgiven him all his sins and justified him freely through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ Who shall condemn us or lay any thing to our Charge It is God that justifies who gave himself a ransom for our sins is risen again and now sits at the right Hand of God ever living and making intercession for us whose blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel His blood cryed for vengeance but the blood of Christ cries for peace and forgiveness God is

all rise by that Letter saies I call the Eternal God to witness that this is no Trepan but a sober Truth Do you think that men who are not ashamed to call the Eternal God to witness to a Lye when 't is to raise Sedition will make any scruple at such protestations at the Bar when 't is to save their lives and if a man may scape by his own protestation who shall ever be found guilty But Gibbs thinks he says a great deal for himself when he says his Neighbours can give great testimony of his good Conversation Alas who will deny to give a good report of a man till he hear evil proved against him But do you think a little demure and sober carriage amongst a mans Neighbours will serve to ballance an Evidence of High-Treason Is not the proof clear that he did both know the Design and approve it Mark what Gibbs tells the company My brother saith he for his part he will not speak before you but if you be honest men this is the News that was spoke like one that was not consenting to it well then what is the News he tells them why the Council of Six are broke up Friday is the day of Action Ludlow is to be General Can any man be privy to these things and relate them so cheerfully and yet not be consenting believe it it is a hard matter to find greater evidence of a knowledge and consent against any Conspirator until he break out into open action Sallers he says that the Witnesses do not agree for Mr. Hill speaks that he said there was Five hundred Arms delivered and Forty men went without Arms but within two or three days there would be more and when Riggs comes to speak he says he did say Arms were delivered and more would be but he did not remember what number and because they agree in the thing but not in the number therefore he thinks they disagree in the matter Observe what reason was there that Riggs comes to enquire of Sallers for Arms because Sallers told him the day before Arms were delivered and more would be he thought therefore he came to a very proper person to tell him If you mark Sallers does deny openly in the Court that ever he saw the face of Hill till he was apprehended although Hill was with Riggs when the Arms were spoken of upon the Exchange And then he says again that Hill speaks by hear-say he is out in that too for Mr. Hill swears expresly he heard the words themselves from Sallers Then here are these before you four witnesses against Tonge two against Phillips and his own confession here is two against Gibbs with these circumstances If you be honest men this is the news c. Here are two Witnesses likewise against Stubbs who was likewise present at all their Debates even when the King himself was to have had the same quarter with Ludlow Now Gentlemen that there was a Conspiracy I think you have a clear Evidence we may thank God and the care of the King and his Ministers that it went no further but 't is no thanks to these men they would have carried it to the extremity had they had power and with out question this was formed by other kind of wits than these poor contemptible Agitators who are now tryed for it You see there was a Council of Forty and an under-Council of Six a Declaration framed to scatter at the time of Action and that Action directed to be both in the City and Country just in effect at the same pitch of time and that it might be so a wicked and an imdent Letter is contrived and many thousand Copies dispersed and it wrought so far that the Countries much about the time appointed were in great disorder as you have heard it proved Is it not plain that an evil spirit went throughout the whole Nation and animated the whole party of Malecontents most evidently it was a terrible Conspiracy Gentlemen 't is true it is a question of Blood but 't is Royal Blood 't is the Blood of Princes and Nobles and it concerns the peace and security of the Kingdom and every mans propriety and of Religion for they had left no man of Conscience or Reputation behind if they had prevailed Consider the Massacre these men would have committed had they prospered and oppose that to the pretended Massacre which they gave out by their Letter the Papists would have committed Consider that you have the life of the King in your hands and I doubt not but he and the whole Kingdom shall always be safe in the Verdict of honest men Sir Robert Foster My Masters of the Jury I cannot speak long to you you understand the nature of this business such as I think you have not had the like president in your time My speech will not give me leave to discourse of it for the Witnesses they are none but such as may satisfy all honest men it is clear they all agreed to subvert the Government to destroy his Majesty what can you have more two of the witnesses are without exception but I do not see any way but their testimony is good For the parties they in themselves are very inconsiderable these are but the out-boughs and if such fellows are not met withal these kind of people are the fittest instruments to set up a Jack-straw and a Wat-Tyler therefore you must lop off these or else they will encourage others You see one of their own company hath confessed the Fact out of remorse of his own conscience But I leave the Evidence to you Go together Officer was Sworn to keep the Jury The Jury withdrawed and after an hours Consultation the Jury returned Silence was commanded and James Hind fetcht from the Goal to the Bar.
