a_o true_a copy_n of_o a_o paper_n write_v by_o capt._n tho._n walcott_n in_o newgate_n after_o his_o condemnation_n and_o deliver_v to_o his_o son_n immediate_o before_o his_o execution_n as_o to_o my_o religion_n i_o believe_v in_o three_o person_n and_o but_o one_o god_n viz._n father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n i_o expect_v and_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o merit_n and_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n without_o the_o hope_n of_o any_o advantage_n by_o any_o merit_n or_o righteousness_n of_o my_o own_o and_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new-testament_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o my_o faith_n and_o their_o direction_n the_o method_n of_o my_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o no_o council_n conclave_n of_o cardinal_n or_o power_n upon_o earth_n whatsoever_o have_v any_o authority_n to_o set_v up_o the_o precept_n of_o man_n and_o their_o tradition_n and_o to_o make_v they_o of_o equal_a validity_n and_o authority_n with_o the_o scripture_n and_o word_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v not_o write_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n write_v they_o as_o they_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o holy-ghost_n i_o believe_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n so_o he_o be_v their_o lawgiver_n it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o jew_n reject_v christ_n and_o crucify_a he_o that_o he_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o they_o reject_v the_o gospel_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o three_o thousand_o that_o god_n by_o peter_n convert_v at_o one_o sermon_n who_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n convince_v in_o their_o conscience_n of_o their_o great_a gild_n in_o crucify_a the_o lord_n of_o life_n insomuch_o that_o they_o cry_v out_o man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v and_o that_o daily_o they_o be_v add_v to_o the_o church_n christ_n say_v if_o he_o have_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v to_o they_o they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n to_o reject_v the_o gospel_n by_o reason_n thereof_o the_o jew_n see_v not_o the_o th●ngs_n that_o belong_v to_o their_o peace_n until_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o their_o eye_n and_o it_o be_v as_o dreadful_a a_o thing_n to_o continue_v in_o a_o sinful_a course_n of_o life_n until_o the_o lord_n whole_o withdraw_v his_o spirit_n who_o have_v say_v that_o his_o spirit_n shall_v not_o always_o st●i●e_a with_o man_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o every_o one_o that_o cry_v lord_n lord_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n then_o i_o d●●i●●_n leave_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n as_o to_o my_o death_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o it_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n have_v not_o adam_n sin_v he_o and_o his_o posterity_n have_v no●_n dyed_n it_o be_v also_o say_v to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n but_o it_o be_v only_o so_o to_o those_o that_o ar●_n terr●ved_v with_o a_o tetrify_a conscience_n that_o have_v the_o arrow_n of_o the_o almighty_a sti●king_n in_o they_o powerful_a conviction_n of_o their_o evil_n but_o see_v no_o hope_n nor_o have_v any_o assurance_n of_o pardon_n christ_n take_v away_o the_o terror_n and_o horror_n of_o conscience_n for_o the_o gild_n of_o sin_n from_o those_o that_o be_v he_o he_o have_v overcome_v death_n for_o they_o and_o will_v overcome_v it_o in_o they_o and_o to_o those_o who_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v take_v away_o by_o christ_n it_o be_v no_o difficult_a task_n to_o die_v for_o they_o be_v with_o st._n paul_n able_a to_o say_v to_o live_v be_v christ_n but_o to_o dye_n be_v gain_n they_o have_v not_o only_o get_v unto_o christ_n but_o into_o christ_n and_o so_o come_v to_o have_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n except_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o the_o branch_n be_v in_o the_o vine_n we_o be_v not_o christian_n indeed_o nor_o be_v we_o able_a to_o believe_v a_o right_n we_o may_v get_v the_o notion_n of_o the_o

francis_n spira_n christ_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o shall_v he_o live_v and_o that_o whosoever_o live_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o he_o shall_v never_o die_v so_o that_o death_n be_v no_o such_o terrify_a thing_n to_o those_o that_o christ_n will_v make_v it_o easy_a to_o but_o ever_o remember_v faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n then_o as_o to_o the_o present_a occasion_n of_o my_o death_n i_o can_v blame_v the_o judge_n and_o jury_n nor_o the_o king_n counsel_n i_o can_v only_o blame_v some_o man_n that_o be_v much_o guilty_a than_o i_o who_o combine_a together_o to_o swear_v i_o out_o of_o my_o life_n thereby_o to_o save_o their_o own_o and_o that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o effectual_o contrive_v a_o untruth_n affirm_v that_o i_o
