to the Declarations will see clearly that they began these unhappy troubles not I so that as for the guilt of these enormous crimes that are laid against me I hope in God that God will clear me of it I will not I am in charity God forbid that I should lay it upon the two Houses of Parliament there is no necessity of either I hope they are free of this guilt for I doe believe that ill instruments between them and me ha's been the cause of all this blood shed so that by way of speaking as I find my self clear of this I hope and pray God that they may too yet for all this God forbid that I should be so ill a Christian as not to say that Gods judgements are just upon me many times he does pay justice by an unjust sentence that is ordinary I will onely say this That an unjust Sentence that I suffered to take effect is punished now by an unjust Sentence upon me that is so far I have said to shew you that I am an innocent man Now for to shew you that I am a good Christian I hope there is a good man pointing to Dr Iuckson that will bear me witnesse that I have forgiven all the world and those in particular that have been the chief causers of my death who they are God knows I do not desire to know I pray God forgive them But this is not all my charity must go farther I wish that they may repent for indeed they have committed a great sin in that particular I pray God with St Stephen that this be not laid to their charge nay not onely so but that they may take the right way to the peace of the Kingdome So Sirs I do wish with all my soule and I do hope there is some here will carry it further that they may endeavour the peace of the Kingdom Now Sirs I must shew you how you are out of the way and will put you in a way first you are out of the way for certainly all the way you ever have had yet as I could find by any thing is in the way of Conquest certainly this is in an ill way for Conquest Sir in my opinion is never just except there be a good just Cause either for matter of wrong or just Title and then if you go beyond it that makes it unjust at the end that was just at first But if it be only matter of Conquest then it is a great Robbery as a Pirate said to Alexander that He was the Great Robber he was but a petty Robber and so Sirs I do think the way that you are in is much out of the way Now Sir for to put you in the way beleive it you will never doe right nor God will never prosper you untill you give God his due the King his due that is my Successors and the people their due I am as much for them as any of you You must give God his due by regulating rightly his Church according to his Scriptures which is now out of order For to set you in a way particularly now I cannot but onely this A Nationall Synod freely called freely debating among themselves must settle this when that every Opinion is freely and clearly heard For the King indeed I will not the Lawes of the Land will clearly instruct you for that therefore because it concerns my own particular I only give you a touch of it For the people and truly I desire their Liberty and Freedome as much as any body whomsoever but I must tell you that their Liberty and their Freedome consists in having of Government those Lawes by which their life and their goods may be most their owne It is not for having share in Government Sir that is nothing pertaining to them A Subject and a Soveraign are clean different things and therefore untill they do that I mean that you do put the people in that Liberty as I say certainly they will never enjoy themselves Sirs it was for this that now I am come here If I would have given way to an Arbitrary way for to have all Lawes changed according to the power of the Sword I needed not to have come here and therefore I tell you and I pray God it be not laid to your charge that I am the Martyr of the people Introth Sirs I shall not trouble you much longer for I will onely say this to you that intruth I could have desired some little time longer because that I would have put this that I have said in a little more order and a little better digested then I have done and therefore I hope you will excuse Me I have delivered my Conscience I pray God that you do take those courses that are best for the good of the Kingdom and your own Salvation The Bishop of London minding him to say something concerning his Religion King I thank you very heartily my Lord for that I had almost forgotten it Introth Sirs my Conscience in Religion I think is very well known to all the World and therefore I declare before you all That I die a Christian according to the profession of the Church of England as I found it left me by my Father and this honest man I think will witnesse it Then turning to the Officers said Sirs excuse me for this same I have a good cause and I have a gracious God I will say no more Then turning to Col Hacker he said Take care that they do not put me to pain and Sir this and it please you But then a Gentleman coming neer the Ax the King said take heed of the Ax pray take heed of the Ax Then the King speaking to the Executioner said I shall say but very short Prayers and when I thrust out my hands Then the King called to D Iuxon for his night cap and having put it on he said to the Executioner does my heire trouble you who desired him to put it all under his Cap which the King did accordingly by the help of the Executioner and the Bishop then the King turning to Dr Iuxon said I have a good cause and a gracious God on my side Dr Iuxon There is but one stage more this stage is turbulent and troublesome it is a short one but you may consider it will soon carry you a very great way it will carry you from Earth to Heaven and there you shall find a great deal of cordiall joy and comsort King I go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown where no disturbance can be Doct. You are exchanged from a temporall to an eternall Crown a good exchange Then the King took off his Cloak and his George giving his George to Dr Iuxon saying Remember 't is thought for the Prince and some other small Ceremonies past after which the King stooping down laid his neck upon the block after a very little pause st●etched forth his hands the Executioner at one blow severed his

seriously repent and receive a remission and pardon from God for it And now Gentlemen we have had an occasion by this intimation to remember his Majesty our King that last was and I cannot speak of him nor think of it but truly I must needs say that in my opinion that have had time to consider all the Images of all the greatest and vertuousest Princes in the world and truly in my opinion there was not a more vertuous and more sufficient Prince known in the world then our gracious King Charls that dyed last God Almighty preserve our King that now is his Son God send him more fortunate and longer days God Almighty so assist him that he may exceed both the vertues and sufficiencies of his Father For certainly I that have been a Councellour to him and have lived long with him and in a time when discovery is easily enough made for he was young he was about thirteen fourteen fifteen or sixteen years of age those years I was with him truly I never saw greater hopes of vertue in any young person then in him great Judgement great Understanding great Apprehension much Honour in his Nature and truly a very perfect Englishman in his inclination and I pray God restore him to this Kingdome and unite the Kingdoms one unto another and send a happinesse both to you and to him that he may long live and Reign among you and that that Family may Reign till thy Kingdome come that is while all Temporall Power is consummated I beseech God of his mercy give much happines to this your King and to you that in it shall be his Subjects by the grace of Jesus Christ Truly I like my beginning so well that I will make my conclusion with it that is That God Almighty would confer of his infinite and inestimable grace and mercy to those that are the causers of my comming hither I pray God give them as much mercy as their own hearts can wish and truly for my part I will not accuse any of them of malice truly I will not nay I will not think there was any malice in them what other ends there is I know not nor I will not examine but let it be what it will from my very soul I forgive them every one And so the Lord of Heaven blesse you all God Almighty be infinite in goodnesse and mercy to you and direct you in those wayes of obedience to his commands to his Majesty that this Kingdome may be a happy and glorious Nation again and that your King may be a happy King in so good and so obedient people God Almighty keep you all God Almighty preserve this Kingdome God Almighty preserve you all Then turning about and looking for the Executioner who was gone off the Scaffold said Which is the Gentleman which is the man Answer was made he is a coming he then said stay I must pull off my Doublet first and my Wastcoat And then the Executioner being come upon the Scaffold the Lord Capel said O friend prethee come hither Then the Executioner kneeling down the Lord Capel said I forgive thee from my soul and not only forgive thee but I shall pray to God to give thee all grace for a better life There is five pounds for thee and truly for my clothes and those things if there be any thing due to you for it you shall be very fully recompenced but I desire my body may not be stripped here and no body to take notice of my body but my own servants Look you friend this I shall desire of you that when I lye down that you would give me a time for a particular short prayer Then Lieut. Col. Beecher Said Make your own signe my Lord Capel Stay a little Which side doe you stand upon speaking to the Executioner Stay I think I should lay my hands forward that way pointing foreright and answer being made Yes he stood still a little while and then said God Almighty blesse all this people God Almighty stench this blood God Almighty stench stench stench this issue of blood this will not do the businesse God Almighty find out another way to do it And then turning to one of his servants said Baldwin I cannot see any thing that belongs to my wife but I must desire thee to beseech her to rest wholly upon Jesus Christ and be contented and fully satisfied and then speaking to his servants he said God keep you and Gentlemen let me now doe a businesse quickly privately and pray let me have your prayers at the moment of death that God would receive my soul Capel Pray at the moment of striking joyn your prayers but make no noise turning to his servants that is inconvenient at this time Servant My Lord put on your Cap. Capel Shoul I What will that doe me good Stay a little is it well as it is now And then turning to the Executioner he said Honest man I have forgiven thee therefore strike boldly from my soul I do it Then a Gentleman speaking to him he said Nay prethee be contented be quiet good M be quiet Then turning to the Executioner he said Well you are ready when I am ready are you not and stretching out his hands he said Then pray stand off Gentlemen then going to the front of the Scaffold he said to the People Gentlemen though I doubt not of it yet I thinke it convenient to ask it of you That you would all joyn in prayers with me That God would mercifully receive my soul and that for his alone mercies in Christ Jesus God Almighty keep you all Executioner My Lord Shall I put up your hair Capel I I prethee do and then as he stood lifting up his hands and eyes he said O God I doe with a perfect and a willing heart submit to thy will O God I doe most willingly humble my self then kneeling down said I will try first how I can lye and laying his head over the block said Am I well now Execu Yes And then as he lay with both his hands stretched out he said to the Executioner Here lye both my hands out when I lift up my hand thus then you may strike And then after he had said a short prayer he lifted up his right hand and the Executioner at one blow severed his head from his body which was taken up by his servants and put with his body into a Coffin as the former March 19. 1648.
