also great Advantages as to Preferments and Estates offered unto me since this Judgment was against me in case I would have forsaken my Religion and owned my self Guilty of the Crime charged against me and charged the same Crimes upon others But blessed be my God who by his Grace hath preserved me from yielding to those Temptations and strengthened me rather to choose this Death than to stain my Soul with Sin and to charge others against Truth with Crimes of which I do not know that any Person is Guilty Having said what concerns me to say as to my Self I now humbly beseech God to bless the King's Majesty with all Temporal and Eternal Blessings and to preserve Him and his Government from all Treasons and Traytors whatsoever and that His Majesty may never fall into such hands as His Royal Father of Glorious Memory fell into I also humbly beseech thee O God to give true Repentance and Pardon to all my Enemies and most particularly to the said Mr. Oates and Mr. Bedloe and to all who have been any ways accessary to the taking away of my Life and the shedding of my innocent Blood or to the preventing the King's Mercy from being extended unto me and likewise to all those who rejoyced at the Judgment given against me or at the execution of the said Judgment and to all those who are or shall be so unchristianly uncharitable as to disbelieve and to refuse to give credit unto my now Protestations And I beseech thee O my God to bless this whole Nation and not to lay the Guilt of my Blood unto the Charge of this Nation or of any other particular Person or Persons of this Nation Unite all O my God unto thee and thy Church by true Faith Hope and Charity for thy mercies sake And for all those who have shewed Charity to me I humbly beg O my Jesus that thou wilt reward them with all Blessings both Temporal and Eternal 13 July 1679. R. Langhorne HAving given you now Reader the Speech at length which Mr. Langhorne had prepared for the Reason he mentions against his Execution it will not be perchance ungrateful to you to know that when he came down from his Chamber at Newgate to be put into the Sledge he had it with him but the Sheriff telling him that he must use no Papers at the Gallows took it away so that he repeated there so much of it only as he could remember therefore to satisfie the Curiosity of those also that would know what and how much that was I shall here give you the Particulars with some other things that occurr'd before he was turned over When the Hangman was putting the Rope over his Head he took it into his hands and kissed it Afterwards said I do not know whether you will allow me liberty of Speech or no and the Noise of the People being so great that I believe it is impossible to speak to be beard SILENCE was Commanded Mr. L. I would gladly speak to Mr. Sheriff HOW who coming up to him he addressed himself thus Mr. Sheriff I having some doubt whether I should be suffered to speak in relation to my Innocency and Loyalty I did for that Reason prepare what I had to say and what I intended to say in Writing and it is delivered into your hands Mr. Sheriff and therefore for the particular and precise Words and Expressions I do refer my self to that and I hope you will be so just to my Memory that you will permit it to be seen I shall therefore make only a short Preface and I do declare in the Presence of the Eternal God and as I hope to be saved by the Merits and Death of my dear Jesus That I am not Guilty directly or indirectly of any Crime that was sworn against me I do not speak this to Arraign the Court of Publick Justice either Judges or Jury but those Men that did swear it and the Jury had liberty to believe or not believe as they pleased And I do likewise say with the same Averrment That I did never in my Life see any Commissions or Patent or any Writing or any other Thing under the hand of Johannes Paulus de Oliva c. S. Nor under no other hand L. No nor under any other hand of any Commission or Patents for the Raising of an Army or any Thing else against the King S. What was the Patents for for Nothing L. I never saw any nor do I believe there was any And whereas I have read in a Narrative that I sent a Commission by my Son to the Lord Arundel of Warder and that I deliver'd another to the Lord Petre or Peters with my own hands I take God to Witness that I never saw him in my life or ever to my knowledge saw the face of that Lord nor did I send or know of any thing that was sent to my Lord Arundel of Warder of that nature S.

I think it is not fit to be Printed I will do you no wrong L I do not think you will S. You have already printed a Paper or some body for you L. Sir I did not Print it and it was done without any Direction or Permission of mine The Lord preserve His Majesty from all manner of Treason and preserve Him from falling into such Hands as His Royal Father of Glorious Memory fell under I pray God to forgive my Enemies as I freely do those that Accused me those that Witnessed against me and all others that either desired my Blood or rejoyce at the shedding of it and all Persons that have any wayes concern'd themselves with me I freely forgive them with all my Soul and beg my dear Jesus to forgive them and all others God Almighty bless you and bless the whole Nation and the Government and preserve it from all Evil and Mischief that I am afraid is coming on it for the shedding of Innocent Blood Sweet Jesus lay not my Innocent Blood to their Charge I shall say no more now Publickly Asked the Executioner Whether the Rope was right or no He said Yes and he asked him Whether he did forgive him To which Mr. Langhorne said I freely do I shall now recommend my self to God in Private S.
