which Charge being read unto him as aforesaid he the said Charles Stewart was required to give his Answer but he refused so to do and so express'd the several passages at the Trial in refusing to Answer for all which Treasons and Crimes this Court doth Adjudge that he the said Charles Stewart as a Tyrant Traytor Murderer and publick Enemy shall be put to Death by Severing his Head from his Body After the Sentence was Read Bradshaw said This Sentence now Read and published is the Act Sentence Judgment and Resolution of the whole Court and then the whole Court stood up as assenting to what Bradshaw said King Will you hear me a Word Sir Bradshaw Sir you are not to be heard after the Sentence King No Sir Bradshaw No Sir by your favour Sir Guard withdraw your Prisoner King I am not suffered to Speak expect what Justice other People will have This pretended Court after Judgment given went into the Painted Chamber and appointed Sir Hardress Waller Ireton Harrison Dean and Okey to consider of the time and place for the Execution The King being not allowed to Reply was taken by his Guards to Sir Robert Cotton's House and as he pass'd down Stairs the Rude Soldiers Scoff'd at him blew the Smoak of their Tobacco in his Face a thing always very offensitive to him strewed pieces of Pipes in his way and one more abominable insolent than the rest Spit in his Face which his Majesty patiently wiped off taking no farther notice of it And as he pass'd farther hearing some of them by the instigation of their Officers cry out Justice Justice and Execution he said Alas poor Souls for a Piece of Money they would do as much for their Commanders Afterward the King hearing that his Execution was determined to be the next day before the Palace at White-hall he sent an Officer in the Army to desire them that he might see his Children before his Death and that Doctor Juxon Bishop of London might be permitted to assist him in his private Devotions and receiving the Sacrament both which were granted to him upon a Motion to the Parliament The same day that the Warrant was Signed for his Execution the Duke of Gloucester and the Lady Elizabeth were brought to him whom he received with great Joy and Satisfaction and giving his Blessing to the Princess He bid her remember to tell her Brother James that he should no more look vpon Charles as his Elder Brother only but as his Sovereign and that they should Love one another and forgive their Fathers Enemies Then taking the Duke of Gloucester upon his Knee said Sweet-Heart now they will cut off thy Father's Head at which Words the Child looked very wishfully upon him Mark Child what I say they will cut off my Head and perhaps make thee a King but mark what I say you must not be a King so long as your Brothers Charles and James are alive for they will cut off your Brothers Heads as soon as they can catch them and cut thy Head off too at last and therefore I charge you do not be made a King by them At which the Child sighing said I will be torn in pieces first which falling so unexpectedly from a Child so young it made the King rejoyce exceedingly On the fatal day being the 30th of January the Bishop of London read Divine Service in his presence and the 27 of Matthew the History of our Saviour's Passion being appointed by the Church for that Day he gave the Bishop thanks for his seasonable choice of the Lesson but the Bishop acquainting him that it was the Service of the Day it comforted him exceedingly and then he proceeded to receive the Holy Sacrament His Devotions being ended he was brought from St. James's to White-hall by a Regiment of Foot part before and part behind with a Private Guard of Partisans about him the Bishop of London on the on the one Hand and Colonel Tomlinson who had the Charge of him on the other Bareheaded The Guards marching but a slow pace the King bid them go faster saying That he now went before them to strive for an Heavenly Crown with less sollicitude than he had often encouraged his Soldiers to Fight for an Earthly Diadem Being come to the end of the Park he went up the Stairs leading to the Long Gallery in White-hall where formerly he used to Lodge and there finding an expected delay the Scaffold being not ready he past most of that time in Prayer About twelve a Clock Colonel Hacker with other Officers and Soldiers brought the King with the Bishop and Colonel Tomlinson through the Banquetting-House to the Scaffold a Passage being made through a Window A strong Guard of several Regiments of Horse and Foot were planted on all sides which hindred the near approach of his Mourning Subjects who for discovering their Sorrow were barbarously used and the King from speaking to be heard and therefore being upon the Scaffold he chiefly directed his Speech to the Bishop and Colonel Tomlinson to this purpose I shall be very little heard of any body else I shall therefore speak a Word to you here indeed I could have held my Peace very well if I did not think that holding my Peace would make some Men think that I did submit to the Guilt as well as the Punishment but I think it is my Duty to God first and then to my Country to clear my self both as an Honest Man a Good King and a Good Christian I shall first begin with my Innocency and in Troth I think it not very needful to insist long upon this for all the World knows that I did never begin a War with the two Houses of Parliaments and I call God to Witness unto whom I must shortly make an account that I did never intend to Encroach upon their Privileges they began upon me it is the Militia they began upon they confest the Militia was mine but they thought fit to have it from me and to be short if any body will look to the Dates of Commissions of their Commissions and mine and likewise to the Declaration he will see clearly that they began these Troubles and not I. So as for the Guilt of these Enormous Crimes that are laid against me I hope that God will clear me I will not for I am in Charity and God forbid I should lay it upon the two Houses of Parliament there is no necessity of either I hope they are free of this Guilt but I believe that ill Instruments between them and me have been the cause of all this Bloodshed so that as I find my self clear of this I hope and pray God that they may too yet for all this God forbid I should be so ill a Christian as not to say God's Judgments are just upon me many times he doth pay Justice by an unjust Sentence that is ordinary I will say this that an unjust Sentence that is ordinary I will say this
