other Temptation but make the Light of thy Countenance to shine upon me for thou art my Sun and my Shield and as thou supportest me by thy Grace so I hope thou wilt hereafter crown me with Glory and receive me into the Fellowship of Angels and Saints in that blessed Inheritance purchased for me by my most merciful Redeemer who is I trust at thy Right Hand preparing a Place for me into whose Hands I commend my Spirit Signed Will. Russel THE SPEECHES Of Captain Walcot Jo. Rouse and Will Hone On Friday the Twentieth of July 1683. CAptain Thomas Walcot being drawn to Tyburn in one Hurdle John Rouse and William Hone in another and there put into a Cart the Reverend Dr. Thomas Cartwright Dean of Rippon and one of His Majesties Chaplains in Ordinary with Mr. Smith the Ordinary of Newgate began to acquaint Captain Walcot That this was the last time he had to spend in the world and therefore desired him to make a good use of it telling him That as death leaves him so Judgment will find him and earnestly exhorted him to make an ingenious Discovery and Confession of what he knew touching the Conspiracy and Treasons of which he had been found guilty and received Sentence to die To this Captain Walcot replyed That he had some Papers in his Pocket of what he had prepared to say in Writing because his memory was bad therefore he desired they might be pulled out and he would read them Then Dr. Cartwright and the Ordinary spake to Hone and Rouse to the effect before-mentioned earnestly desiring them to confess the whole of what they knew instancing some places of Scripture to them as Joshuah's advice to Aeloan c. My Son confess and give glory to God whom you have dishonoured c. telling them they would have imbrued their hands in the Blood of a merciful and good Prince who had often pardoned and gave many Acts of Oblivion and Indemnity to his Subjects and whose Reign hath preserved the purity of the Protestant Religion amongst us That we cannot enjoy more than we do enjoy with other good admonitions for them to make cleer Discoveries of the truth of what they knew Captain Walcot in the mean while was prepared to read his Speech Dr. Cartwright askt him if he could discover any more than he had done already Walcot I 've not in the general I told the King the thing was laid very deep There was a Gentleman with me last night I told him what I told the King and that was all I told him I thought an Act of Indulgence would be very necessary because he had a great many men to take Judgment of I know not the particulars of the Design but the King hath the Lord Howard Mr. West and others that know more than I. I was never in Councel with them nor never with them above four five or half a dozen times Then looking upon his Paper he began his Speech as follows THis great Concourse of people do not only come here to see me dye but also to hear what I shall say and because I would not be reproached and thought to be an Atheist when I am gone I have two or three words to speak for my Religion I do believe in Three persons and one God and I expect and hope to be saved by the Merits and Righteousness of his Son Christ Jesus without the hope of an advantage by any Merits or Righteousness of my own And I believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the word of God that they were not written according to the will of Man but holy men of God writ them as they were inspired by the holly Ghost I believe that these Scriptures ought to be the Rule of our Faith and the method of our Worshipping of God I believe that as Christ is the head of his Church so he is their Law-giver That it is not in the power of any Council or Conclave of Cardinals or power upon earth whatsoever to set up the Precepts and Traditions of men and to make them of equal validity with the word of God I believe it was not because the Jews rejected and Crucified Christ that he rejected them but because they rejected his Word which appears by the Three thousand that God by one Sermon of Peters Converted they being prickt in their hearts and touched in their Consciences cryed out Men and Brethren what shall we do and they were that day added to the Church It was certainly because the Jews rejected the Word and Gospel of Christ that the things were hid from their eyes which belonged to their peace It is a dreadful thing to reject the Word of God and it is a dreadful thing to live in a sinful course of life till God withdraws his Spirit from us For it is said it shall not always strive with man Death is the wages of sin I believe had not Adam sinned he and we his posterity had not dyed Death is said to be the King of Terrours but it is only so to those that are terrifyed with a terrifying Conscience that have the arrows of the Almighty sticking in them from Convictions of great guilt and see no hopes of mercy have no assurance of pardon but those that are Christs he takes away the terror and horror and sting of death he enables them to say with Paul To me to live is Christ and to dye is gain he enables not only to get unto Christ but into Christ and so they have Communion and Fellowship with the Father and the Son It is no hard matter to get the notions of the promises of the Gospel into our heads but unless the Lord is pleased to apply them to our hearts we cannot believe except we be in Christ as branches in the Vine we are not Christians indeed It was the case of poor Francis Spira he was certainly a knowing man but notwithstanding he had not faith to apply the promises Christ hath said that he that believes in him though he were dead yet shall he live and he that lives and believes in him shall never dye So if we be able to apply the promises by the Spirit of God we may have comfort through Faith but then Faith is the gift of God and Faith comes by hearing the Word of God and receiving it in the love of God I shall not be tedious Mr. Sheriff I shall be very short Mr. Sheriff Take your own time Walcot As to the present occasion of my death I do neither blame the Judges nor the Jury nor the Kings Councel I only blame some men that in reality and in truth were deeper concerned and more engaged than I that came in as Witnesses against me who Swore me out of my life to save their own and who for fear they should not do it effectually contrived that That I will appeal to you all whether there be a probability in it or not for they said that
