perfect his power and strength in weakness Fourthly That I may come a little nearer to the purpose in hand I declare before you all in the sight of God Angels and men and in the sight of that Son and all that he has Created that I am a most miserable sinner in regard of my Original and Actual Transgressions I must confess they are more in number then the Haires of my Head They are gone up above my Head and are past numbering I cannot but say as Jacob said I am less then the least of all Gods mercies yet I must declare to the exalting of his free grace That to me who am the least of all Saints is this grace made known and that by a strong hand and I dare not but say he has loved me and washed me in his own blood from all iniquities and well is it for me this day That ever I heard or read that faithful saying that Jesus Christ came into the World to save sinners of whom I am chief Fifthly I must also declare in his sight I am the most unworthiest that ever opened his mouth to preach the unsearchable Riches of Christ in the Gospel Yea the sense of this made me altogether unwilling to fall about so great a work until by the importunity of some whose names are precious and savoury to me and many others I was prevailed with to fall about it and yet I am hopeful not altogether without some fruit and if I durst say it without vanity I never found so much of the presence of God upon my Spirit as I have found in exercises of that nature though I must still confess attended with inexpressible weakness and this is the main thing for which I must lay down my Tabernacle this day viz. That I did preach Christ and the Gospel in several places of this Nation for which I bless him as I can That ever such a poor obscure person as I am have been thus priviledged by him for making mention of his grace as I was able Sixthly Give me leave to add this word farther that though there be great appearances for spreading and preaching this Glorious Gospel yet I fear there is a snare at the bottom and poyson in that dish which may gender and be productive of not only greater Scarcity of Honest preaching and preachers but a Real Famine of the Word this I say is my fear and I hope God will keep his servants and people from fomenting any thing to the detriment of the Gospel Seventhly I am also afraid that the Lord is intending to multiply his stroaks upon the Land we have walked seven times contrary to him and therefore we may lay our account unless Repentance prevent it that he will walk seven times contrary to us there is more and more grounds to fear that a Sword is Brandished in Heaven a Glittering Sword sharpned and forbished against the Guilty and Harlot Scotland Eightly As for the Fifth Cause in my indictment upon which my sentence of death is founded viz. Personal presence Twice or thrice with that party whom they call the Rebels for my own part I never Judged them such I Acknowledge and do believe there were many there that came in the simplicity of their hearts like those that followed Absolom long ago and I am as sure on the other hand there were a great party there that had nothing before them but the repairing of the Fallen work and the restoring the breach which is wide as the Sea and I am apt to think that such of these who were most branded with mistake will be found to be most single but for Rebellion against his Majesties person or Lawful Authority the Lord knows my Soul Abhorreth the name and thing Loyal I have been and I wish every Christian to be so and I was ever of this Judgment To give to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods Ninthly Since I came to prison I have been much branded with many that I must call Aspersions whereof Jesuitisme is one I am hopeful there was never one that did converse with me that had the least ground for laying this to my Charge I know not how it comes to pass it is laid upon me now except implacable prejudice that some have been prepossest with against me I am not Ignorant that near two years ago a person of some note in this Church while Living was pleased to say I was dyed in that Judgment after he was better informed he Changed his Note and said it was misinformation but now the Lord before whom I must stand and be Judged by and by knows I have a perfect Abhorrence of that thing And that it was never my Temptation directly nor indirectly Though I must confess some few years ago some were very pressing upon me that I would conform and imbrace Prelacy But for Popery and that Trash it never came nearer my heart than the Popes Conclave and the Alcoran which my Soul Abhors Tenthly I Have also been branded with factiousness divisive and seditious preaching and practices I must confess if it be so it was more then ever I was aware of according to the measure that God has given me it was my endeavor to commend Christ to the hearts and Souls of the people even repentance towards God and Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ according to the word of God confession of faith and Catechismes Larger and Shorter yea I did press them when God did cast it in my way to remember their former Obligations in Doctrine worship Discipline and Government and that they would make it their work to stand to it in substance and Circumstance seeing it is so Cryed down in this day and if this be divisive preaching I cannot deny it Eleventhly I am prest in Conscience to bear my Testimony to and Abhorrence of every Invasion Usurpation and incroachment that is made or has been made against Christs Royal prerogative Crown and Kingdome Originate upon and derivate from that which they call the Supremacy I was never free to say a Confedcracy with those that I Judge have in a great part said a Confederacy with that thing and the Lord is my record I was never free in my Conscience for that that is called indulgence neither first nor second as it was tendered by the Counsel and as it was imbraced by a great many Godly men in this Land yea it was never Laudable nor expedient to me and in effect this is one of the main grounds why I am rendred so Obnoxious to so many imputations that I have been all along contrary to that indulgence in my Judgment I confess I have been so and I die in my Judgment contrary to it and this I Crave Leave to say without any Offence given to the many Godly and Learned that are of another Judgment Twelfthly I Judge it fit likewise in this Case to leave my Testimony against that Stent Taxation and Cess
