To the Reader REader the intent of this Epistle is not to set forth in a commendatory way any thing concerning the persons or their sufferings though much might be spoken deservedly in that matter but only to present unto thee the words of dying men some part whereof was occasionall Discourses betwixt them and some friends that visited them in the Prison yea in the Dungeon unto every particular there are sufficient Witnesses in this City unto whom we can appeale that there is nothing patronized upon these sufferers but what was spoken by them though it is not all that was spoked by them for that would have swelled into too large a volume What thou hast here therefore are but some small mites carefully taken out of their great treasury Here are also extracts of severall Letters coppied from their own hand writings the rest is their Speeches and Prayers at the time and places of Execution taken by exact short-writers and divers of the best coppies have been compared and the worke with much care and industry hath been brought to this perfection There hath some speciall reasons moved us to undertake this matter as first to prevent that wrong which might be done to the deceased and more especially to the name of God by false and imperfect coppies Secondly to satisfie those many in City and Countrey who have much desired it Thirdly to let all see the riches of grace magnified in those servants of Christ Fourthly that men may see what it is to have an interest in Christ in a dying houre and to be faithfull to his cause And lastly that all men may consider and know that every mans judgement shall be from the Lord. Prov. 29.26 Some occasionall Speeches and Memorable passages of Major Generall Harrison's after his coming to Newgate With his Speech upon the Ladder THe day of his coming to Newgate from the Tower at night he sent his Wife word that that day was to him as his Wedding day When the sentence was pronounced he said whom men have Judged God doth not condemne blessed be the name of the Lord. And as he was carried away from the Court through the croud the people shouted And he cryed good is the Lord for all this I have no cause to be ashamed of the cause that I have been ingaged in Some Friends askt him how he did he Answered very well and cannot be in a better condition if I had the desires of my Heart we must be willing to receive hard things from the hands of our Father as well as easie things when he came to Newgate there was Chaines put upon his Feet And he said Wellcome Wellcome Oh this is nothing to what Christ hath undergone for me this is out of his great loving kindnesse and faithfulnesse and my God is All sufficient in all Conditions And also soon after his coming into the Dungion in order to his Execution a Woman belonging to the Goal who was sent to make clean the Room and to make a Fire for him was askt when she came out by divers people whereof some were scoffers how the Major General behaved himself and what he said To which she answered she knew not what he had done to deserve to be there but sure she was that he was a good man and that never such a man was there before for he was full of God there was nothing but God in his mouth so that it would have done any one good to have been neer him or with him And his discourse and frame of heart would melt the hardest of their hearts Some time after he was put into the Hold Three Ministers of the City were sent by the Sheriffe to discourse with him And their discourses was to endeavour to convince him First Of being Guilty of the Kings Blood Secondly Of Mr. Love's Death Thirdly Of breaking the Old Parliament Fourthly Of being loose in Family duties and the Observation of the Lords day Fifthly Of the justnesse of this thing that was upon him by reason of his iniquity To which he answered As to the Blood of the King I have not in the least any Guilt lying upon me for I have many a time sought the Lord with Tears to know if I have done amisse in it but was rather confirmed that the thing was more of God then of men And besides what I did I did by Authority of Parliament which was then the onely lawful Authority for God owned it by pleading their Cause and Fighting their Battels for them the Lords people owned it by rejoycing in it and praying for it the Generality of people both in England Scotland and Ireland owned it by yeilding Obedience to it Forreign Princes owned it by sending their Embassadours therefore it was rather the act of the Parliament then ours that were there servants He declared that he was very tender of the King insomuch that the King himself did confesse that he found him not such a person as he was represented to him when he was brought out of the Isle of Weight and that he had some skill in Faces so that if he had but seen his Face before he should not have harbored such hard thoughts of him Secondly As to Mr. Love's Death I was in Scotland when he was Condemned and had no hand in it in the least They desired to know if he did not say then That if a Godly man so transgress as to being himself under the Condemnation of the law it were not a just thing for him to suffer for his sin he told them he did not remember that he did say so But then said if a godly man did so transgresse a righteous law he ought to suffer as another man Thirdly The breaking of the Parliament was the Act and Designe of General Cromwell for I did know nothing of it that morning before it was done he called me to go along with him to the house and after he had brought all into disorder I went to the Speaker and told him Sir seeing things are brought to this passe it is not requisite for you to stay there he answered he would not come down unlesse he was pulled out Sir said I I will lend you my hand and he putting his hand into mine came down without any pulling so that I did not pull him Indeed afterwards I was glad the thing was done for I did see they did intend to perpetuate themselves without doing those
