confession he confesseth his sin without any if there and he makes Restitution also This man cannot tell whether he has offended or not I conclude That he did not humbly desire forgivenesse for he did not humbly ask forgivenesse of sins But the contrary he did as the proudest of sinners Irish Rebels brethren in iniquity whose rage the Lord God has cursed and now by his Judges on earth commanded to be cut asunder and then hanged-up before the Sun So did he confesse as such sinners use to do c. Pag. 33. last line but one Touching his prayer I have spoken already briefly what the sacred Scripture gave me warrant to speak I have not space to enlarge now I adde this onely That his prayer is the highest provocation of all that went before and the greatest abhomination He prayes for an heart to dye 1 for Gods honour whom he had dishonoured all his life long and now most presumptuously at his death giving no glory to Him at all 2 For the Kings happinesse Whom by his wicked counsels he hath helpt to make the most unhappie and unglorious King that now lives upon the face of the earth 3 And this Churches preservation I grant This in his meaning not in his intent and purpose but by Gods gracious dispensation preserving His Churches by ruining This Church the Bishops and this Archbishop Gods and His Churches Arch-Adversary the Head of the same So let all Thine Enemies perish O Lord But let them that love Him be as the Sun when he goeth forth in his might To conclude we understand now what this mans Religion was 2 What his Church is 3 And we have read his Confession and Prayer full out There is not one truly wise man in the world but sayes all these four are so many abominations Yet there be some who would passe for wise men but so they cannot do And would not be accounted Malignants neither that cannot be who praise his doings and sayings specially all he did and said at his death Is it possible that men will not remember themselves and shew themselves men If they will not I will resolve what they are also They are of the Bishops Religion of his Church and they verily think that such 2 Confession of sinne and such a Prayer for forgivenesse the late Archbishop made at his death will serve their turn too at that dreadfull time If they think so and that be their hopes then they may hope well of Iudas in reference to his Confession for it is full and free and no if there And if this mans acknowledgement of his Doings may be thought free and ingenuous they may say as much and more of the Divels acknowledgement of his wayes before the Lord Whence commest thou Satan said the Lord The great Peripatetick of the world acknowledgeth saying sroin going to and fro in the Earth seeking whom to seduce and to destroy there The Divell is summoned again and he is before the Throne of the Lord and the Lord said Who shall perswade the King that he may go up to warre and fall there I will layes the Divell And the Lord said unto him wherewith With a lye sayes he which I will put into the mouth of all the Kings Prophets give me but power I have will enough and the King has Prophets enough who will speak what I will I will perswade them and they will perswade the King to his destruction A very ingenious acknowledgment of what he had a will to do he was before the Lord and then alwayes he speaks the Truth he is as he is no Angell of light then He was a lying-Spirit from the beginning he is the same still and if he might have power to his will so and so he would do power was given him and so he did perswade to his will This man was before the Lord too as he said himselfe before all His holy Angels and men but whether his acknowledgement of his wayes before the Lord be full and ingenuous as the Devills was let the Reader Judge I could make these words very paralell with the Bishops doings But I will forbear there and to make any conclusion from thence Nor shall I so much as look towards Gods decree The quickest sight therein is but blindnesse Nor dare I thrust him into the pit of hell whom I saw Sometimes walking on the brinke thereof Nor set limits to infinite Grace and Mercy which may intervene and come-in inter pontem fontem as we use to say But this I have cleare warrant from the Sacred scripture to say 1 That JUDAS his Confession was more full and free than this mans was And that the Devils acknowledgment of his waies before the Lord exceeded this mans acknowledgement also 2 And that we have not a word no not one word in the Sacred Scripture wherefrom to conclude the salvation of this man so Confessing his sin and praying forgivenesse of the same And yet I deragate nothig at all from the Height Depth Length Breadth of free mercy through the Lord Jesus Christ And let him that reads this consider on it if he will and tremble if he can Tremble he shall one day if he be perswaded in his heart to die in that perswasion That such a Religion this late and last Arch-Bishop was of such a CHVRCH such a CONFESSION of sin such a PRAYER for forgivenesse will serve the turne at that dreadfull time It is spoken with a deare respect to thy dying rather dead body the body is dead because of sin and never dying Soul An Ende Pag. 4. l. 19.

Foure Queries Resolved Toching the late ARCH-BISHOP READER TO Preface a little I have set forth to the World a Breviate of the late Arch-Bishops doings in his life and made a faitfull comment on his sayings at his death So much haste was desired in it and such Brevity in all That truly some lines were omitted which were prepared And as his expressions were darke and involved touching his Religion so I was not so clear and full at that point to the Readers satisfaction as now I shall be And at one great point about the Church of England I mistooke the Preacher Blasphemer rather altogether for running over that point hastily I understood not the incoherence of his words as now I do so I took the word Church in our sence for the Church indeed when as he meant the Bishops the church in name or of Rome for under that notion Church has been meant these three hundred yeers and more It shall be called by that name no more unlesse with this addition the Malignant Church I took but halfe his confession neither And for that the Malignants may say I have done him wrong I le make them amends now in clearing before their eyes if they would see but some will not see and other-some cannot see now having shut-out light so long 1. What his Religion was 2. What is the church he so bemoanes 3. What his confession 4. And prayer And that these foure are four abominations before the Lord God and all good men And shall be acknowledged by Malignants themselves so to be an abomination all foure if their eyes be not quite shut up Their hearts void of all grace and their consciences past all feeling It will be said Why do I trouble the dead raking as it were in his ashes he is now lanched forth into the Ocean of Eternity entred into his unchangeable condititon Whether at rest there or restlesse is not to be disputed his judgement is from the Lord let the tongues of men and their pens suffer him to rest now from all uncharitable Sensures whereever he is I answer 1. I have not formerly I do not now meddle with the dead But for the sake of the living ever-living Soules I deale in those matters which live and spread eat and consume like a canker to the utter destruction of the unwise and ignorant viz. The conceit vain men have they are no other of this late and last Arch-Bishops Religon Church Repentance Prayer of high esteem with vain men but abominations all foure as we said before the Lord God and his faitfull servants This was one mighty motive with me to do as I have done not censuring the dead but condemning a Dead Religion A false Church An unsound Repentance A Confession of sin and prayer forgivenes more abominable then any of the former That these may not be received approved to the condemnation destruction of the living 2. Because the late Arch. B. Sermon as Malignants will call it though as cunning a piece of Blasphemie as by the helpe of the Devill was contrived this hundred yeers all the reason why the Devils first-borne sonnes the Malignants like it so well is posted over the Seas there to speak Dutch and French Italian it speaks already pretty treatably so to perswade all who meet with it That what ever this late Arch-Bishop was all his life long yet he was an angell at his death which vain opinion may amuse and abuse the simple reader infinitely it may make him beleev that he may be the Devills servant doe the Devills worke all his life long and die as a servant of the Lord dies the death of the Righteous That I may prevent this dreadfull mistake I assure thee readed I le set downe these matters omitted before through too much haste faithfully as the Truth is So helpe me God the God of Truth and leader into all Truth And when I have so done I le post it over beyond sea also as fast as I can in full assurance that if this paper happen into a wise mans hand who hath read the said Sermon he will finde truth here and there a Bishops Sermon indeed if not as full of Blasphemies as of leaves Yet as full of falshods as of lines One word more before I come to the Resolves I must in duty ought in manners forbear as before to set down how he quits his Judges he chargheth nothing in the least degree upon them he said not considering what he said for if there be any guilt in his Condemnation it must ly upon his Judges But he doth indeed in a full and cleer expression acquit his Judges saying They proceeded by the clearest proofe He cleared his witnesses too saying They were valuable witnesses Yet most unwillingly did hee doe all this as a man who could not give Glory to God nor Honour to men But his Judges and witnesses all are now acquitted indeed as before in their owne Consciences and in the Court of Heaven so also before all the world who will be at the cost and paines to read their equitable proceedings throughout his whole Arainment And they that cannot bee at that charges as few can for our sins and the Bishops warres have emptied our purses very much will be so gracious I hope as to conclude That the Iudge of all the world whose Almighny Arme brought this mighty adversarie to the block will do Right and so charitable they will be I hope as to conclude also That all the gods the Lords under judges here on earth whom He hath called together so unexpectedly preserved to this time so wonderfully delivered so miraculously as fire Brands out of the fire That these Judges the highest one Earth will do right also So I proced to the Resolves in Order but beginning brokenly because of the Reference it makes to the Printed Coppie The first of the foure queries Resolved Honour Adde H would crouch downe to the foot of that great Lord Kisse his hande
