EXCELLENT Contemplations Divine and Moral Written by the Magnanimous and truly Loyal Arthur Lord Capel Baron of Hadham Together with some Account of his Life and his Letters to several Persons whilst he was Prisoner in the Tower vigorously asserting the Royal Cause against all the Enemies thereof Likewise his Affectionate Letters to his Lady the Day before his Death and his Couragious Behaviour and last Speech at his Suffering March 9. 1648. With his Pious Advice to his Son the late Earl of ESSEX LONDON Printed for Nath. Crouch at the Bell in the Poultry near Cheapside 1683. Some Account of the Life of the Pious and Virtuous Arthur Lord Capel Baron of Hadham THis Honourable Person ought to be eternized for his Endeavours Constancy and Perseverance in the Royal Cause first to the parting with his vast Estate being sequestred for his Loyalty and afterward with his life so that he may be rightly termed The Flower of English Fidelity and his name ought to be ever honourably mentioned according to that of the Psalmist Psalm 112. 6. The Righteous shall be had in Everlasting Remembrance He was Son and Heir to Sir Arthur Capel of Hadham Hall in Hertfordshire a Gentleman of a great Estate one who followed the Old Mode of our Nation kept a bountiful house and shewed forth his Faith by his works extending his charity in such abundant manner to the poor that he was bread to the hungry drink to the thirsty eyes to the blind and legs to the lame and might be justly stiled Great Almoner to the King of Kings Concerning the humility of this worthy Knight though it be too sudden a diversion I shall presume to insert a story which I have heard delivered by some well acquainted with his Worship that he being one time at his Gate all alone in a plain but decent habit a Serving-man who had plumed himself with his Masters cast Feathers came riding to him asked him if Sir Arthur Capel were within Sir replied the knight he was there not long ago and if you please to walk in you may hear further of his Servants Old Father said the Serving-man here take my horse and walk him and therewithal gave him a small peice of Silver it being the first money he ever received in that kind Sir Arthur agreed to the motion and with a smile received from him a single penny took his horse and walkt him whilst the finical spruce Serving-man strutted with convenient boldness into the house But being informed by the Servants that their Master was at the Gate he replying that he was not there one of them to justify himself went with him to the Gate to see where they found Sir Arthur very industrious in his Imployment the Serving-man very much ashamed of his mistake craved pardon and with humble obeisance with his hat in his hand with many cringes would have received the horse from the knight Nay stay says Sir Arthur you paid me my hire get up as soon as you will for I am resolved to see you on Horse-back Then the old Knight putting his hand into his purse gave him half a piece which he said was for taking so much care of his Masters Horse being purposely thus liberal to incourage his own Servants to imitate his careful example But to return to his son he was very well educated attaining to some perfection in learning his Father dying as he inherited his Estate so he did his virtues The Privacy of this noble Lord before the war was passed with as much popularity in the Country as his more publick appearance in it was with valour and Fidelity in the Field In our too happy time of peace none was more Pious Charitable and Munificent In our unhappy differences none more resolved Loyal and active The People loved him so well that they chose him one of their Representatives and the King esteemed him so much that he made him one of his Peers in Parliament the King and People agreeing in this one thing to have a just kindness for the Lord Capel He was one of those excellent Gentlemen whose gravity and discretion the King said He hoped would allay and fix the faction to a due Temperament guiding some mens well meaning zeal by such rules of Moderation as are best both to preserve and restore the health of all States and kingdoms keeping to the dictates of his Conscience rather than yielding to the importunities of the People to what was just rather than what was safe save only in the Earl of Straffords case wherein he yielded to the publick necessity with his Royal Master but repented with him too sealing his Contrition for that miscarriage with his blood when he was more troubled for his forced consent to that brave Persons death than for losing his own life he ventured through the first war and by his Ingagement in the second for after the surender of Oxford he retired to his own house but could not rest there until the King was brought home to his which all England endeavouring as one man my Lord adventured himself at Colchester to Extremity yeilding himself upon Condition of Quarter which he urged by the Law of Arms that Law that governeth the World Yet as he said against the Law of God man for keeping the first Commandment he was sacrificed on a Scaffold at Westminster with a courage that became a clear Conscience and a resolution befitting a good Christian expressing that same Judicious Piety at his death which he did in this Incomparable Book of his Meditations in his life A Piety that as it appeared by his dismission of his Chaplains and the formalities of that times Devotions before he came to the Scaffold was rather his inward frame and habit than outward Ostentation or Pomp from the Noble sentiment whereof the Poet not unhappily alluding to his Arms A Lyon Rampant in Field Gules between two Crosses thus expresseth it Our Lyon-like Capel undaunted stood Beset with Crosses in a Field of Blood As one that affrighted death rather than affrighted by it It being very observable That a learned Dr. of Physick present at the opening and Embalming of this Lord and the Duke Hamilton delivered at a publick Lecture That the Lord Capels was the least heart and the Dukes the greatest that ever he saw Agreeable to that Observation in Philosophy That the Spirits contracted within the least compass are the cause of the greatest courage Two things are considerable in this Incomparable Person 1. His uninterrupted Loyalty keeping pace with his life 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 last breath was spent in proclaiming K. Charles the second in the very face of his Enemies as known to him to be Virtuous Noble Gentle Just and a great Prince 2 His Great merit and modesty whereof King Charles the first writes thus to her Majesty the Queen There is one that doth not yet pretend who deserves as well as any I mean Capel Therefore I desire thy assistance to find out

pleased to be so God be with Thee my most virtuous Wife God multiply many comforts to Thee and my Children is the fervent Prayer of Thy c. A Letter to Mr. E. S. from a Reverend and Grave Divine SIR I Hope this Paper will find you upon your Recovery You have my daily and hearty Prayers for it not so much for your own sake for I doubt not but it would be much better for you in regard of your self to be dissolved and be with Christ but in the behalf of the Church your Friends and poor Family to which notwithstanding be assured God will be merciful howsoever he disposeth of you either for this Life or for a better But if you live as I pray and hope you will you shall do very well to write the Life and Death of that Noble Lord and Blessed Martyr who professed at his Death That he died for the Fifth Commandment And to die in the Defence and for the Testimony of any Divine Truth is truly and properly to be a Martyr That which I can contribute towards this Work is to communicate some few Observations I made of him and from him before and after his Condemnation I was several times with him and always found him in a very chearful and well-composed Temper of Mind proceeding from true Christian Grounds and not from a Roman Resolution only as his Enemies are pleased to speak of him He told me often It was the Good God he served and the Good Cause he had served for that made him not to fear Death Adding He had never had the Temptation of so much as a thought to check him for his Engagement in this Quarrel for he took it for his Crown and Glory and wished he had a greater Ability and better Fortune to engage in it After his Condemnation and the Afternoon before his suffering we were a great while in private together when bewailing with that Sense which became a true and not despairing Penitent the sins of his Life past the greatest he could remember was his Voting my Lord of Strafford's Death which though as he said he did without any Malice at all yet he confessed it to be a very great sin and that he had done it out of a base Fear they were his own words of a prevailing party Adding That he had very often and very heartily repented of it and was confident of God's Pardon for it Then he told me He had a great desire to receive the Blessed Sacrament so he called it before he died the next Morning asking What Divine of the King's Party I would recommend to him I replied That though many were more worthy yet none would be more willing to do him that Service than my self Which he accepting very kindly told me He durst not desire it for fear it might be some danger to me After this and some Conference in order to his preparation both for his Viaticum and his Voyage the Sacrament and his Death he desired me to pray with him Which after I had performed and promised to be with him by seven the next Morning I left him for that time to his own Devotions The next Day I was there at the time assigned and after some short Conference in order to the present Occasion he desired me to hear him pray which he did for half an hour in an excellent Method very apt Expressions and most strong hearty and passionate Affections First Confessing and bewailing his sins with strong Cries and Tears Then humbly and most earnestly desiring God's Mercy through the Merits of Christ only Secondly For his dear Wife and Children with some passion but for her especially with most ardent Affections recommending them to the Divine Providence with great Confidence and Assurance and desiring for them rather the Blessings of a Better Life than of This. Thirdly For the King Church and State And lastly For his Enemies with almost the same Ardour and Affection After this sending for my Lord of Norwich and Sir John Owen I read the whole Office of the Church for Good Friday and then after a short Homily I used for the present Occasion we received the Sacrament In which Action he behaved himself with great Humility Zeal and Devotion And being demanded after we had done how he found himself he replied Very much better stronger and cheerfuller for that Heavenly Repast and that he doubted not to walk like a Christian through the Vale of Death in the Strength of it But he was to have an Agony before his Passion and that was the parting with his Wife Eldest Son Son-in-Law two of his Vncles and Sir T. C. especially the parting with his most dear Lady which indeed was the saddest spectacle that ever I beheld In which Occasion he could not chuse but confess a little of Humane Frailty yet even then he did not forget both to comfort and counsel her and the rest of his Friends particularly in blessing the young Lord he commanded him never to revenge his Death though it should be in his Power The like he said unto his Lady He told his Son He would leave him a Legacy out of David's Psalms and that was this Lord lead me in a plain Path. For Boy said he I would have you a plain honest Man and hate Dissimulation After this with much adoe I perswaded his Wife and the rest to be gone and then being all alone with me he said Doctor the hardest part of my Work in this World is now past meaning the parting with his Wife Then he desired me to pray preparatively to his Death that in the last Action he might so behave himself as might be most for God's Glory for the endearing of his Dead Master's Memory his Present Master's Service and that he might avoid the doing or saying of any thing which might favour either of vanity or sullenness This being done they were all carried to Sir Robert Cotton's House where I was with him till he was called unto the Scaffold and would have gone up with him but the Guard of Souldiers would not suffer me AT the same time with the Lord Capel there suffered as is aforementioned James Hamilton who was likewise Earl of Cambridge and Henry Earl of Holland who were both condemned by the same pretended High Court of Justice together with George Lord Goring and Sir John Owen who were pardoned The Names of which pretended High Court were as followeth A List of the Names of the Judges of the High Court of Justice for the Tryal of James Earl of Cambridge Henry Earl of Holland George Lord Goring Arthur Lord Capel and Sir John Owen Knight Appointed by an Act of the Commons of England in Parliament Assembled IOhn Bradshaw Serj. at Law Rich.
