he that never knew before what the Love of God was to his Soul I find it now filled with it and running over Now bless the Lord O my Soul yea all that is within me bless his Holy Name for this Dispensation Now Light appears out of Darkness in the Face of Jesus Christ and all Worldly Joy and Comforts seem to be as they are not hard to be parted with Father Mother Sisters and Brothers Wife Children Houses and Lands are as my dearest Saviour saith to be parted with for him or we are not worthy of him I bless his Name I find no Reluctancy to do it he having brought me to his Footstool and I can heartily say The Will of the Lord be done in this matter I ever before now saw a Beauty in Worldly Comforts but now they seem so small by rhe great Beauty and Lustre I see in God in Christ Jesus that I am Astonished to think how I have been wandering all my dayes and spending my Time and my Money for that which is not Bread O! strive to get a Taste of this Love of God in Christ Jesus and it will perfectly wean you from this Deceitful and Foolish World What are Worldly Honours and Riches O! set not your Hearts upon them but get a Treasure in Heaven that your Hearts may be there also O! lose no time for if once you knew the Sweetness of it you would never be at rest till you found him whom yout Soul loveth It will be more yea infinitely more than all Worldly Enjoyments can afford you though in their greatest perfection It will make your Life Sweet and your Death most Comfortable It is that Bread which the World knoweth nothing of and therefore makes little or no inquiry after it Dearest Relations whilst you and my other dear Friends are like Aaron and Hur holding up the Hands of Moses I am through Grace getting Victory over the Ama lakites I can imbrace my dear Companion with more Joy in this Field of Sufferings than ever I could have done had I met him Crowned with the Lawrels of Victory O! the Mercy to Dye with such a Friend and such a Valient Soldier of Jesus Christ who hath kept his Garments clean And I now begin to pity them that must stay behind who have many Temptations to encounter with It is but a little yea a very ljttle while and my Warfare will be accomplished and if God continue his Love and Influence upon my Soul it will be both short and sweet I have little of this World about me I leave you all the Legacy of what was ever dear to me the Best of Wives and Five Poor Children who must pass through an Evil and Sinful World but I have committed them to God who hath commanded as To cast our Widows and Fatherless Children upon him Dearest Parents dear Brothers and Sisters All Adieu my Time draws on my Paper is finished and your Dying Child and Brother recommends you all to Him who is All-sufficient to that God of Peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Ie●●s Christ that great Shepherd of the Sheep through the Blood of the Everlasting 〈◊〉 make you Perfect in every Good Work to do his Will working in you that which is well pleasing in his Sight through Jesus Christ to whom be Glory forever and ever Amen R. N. Mr. Richard Nelthrop's Last Speech THe Great and Unexpressible Trouble and Distraction I have lain under since I came into my Troubles especially since my last Confinement in Newgate have so broken my Reason that for many Weeks last past till the Day in which my Sentence was passed I have not had any Composure of Mind and have been under the greatest Trouble imaginable since my dearest Wife had the Favour granted her of coming to me but I am at present under great Composedness of Mind through the infinite Goodness of the Lord. As to that I stand Out-lawed for and now Sentenced to Dye I can with Comfort appeal to the Great God before whose Tribunal I am to appear That what I did was in Sincerity of my Heart without seeking any private Advantage for my self but thinking it my Duty to hazard my self for the Preservation of the Protestant Religion and English Liberties which I thought highly invaded and both in great Danger of being Lost As to the Design of Assassinating the late King or Murdering of him or his present Majesty 't was alwayes a Thing highly Against my Judgment and which I always detested and was never in the least concerned with it neither in Purse nor Person nor never knew of any Arms bought for that intent nor did I believe there was such a Design nor never heard any Disappointment of such an Affair or Arms or Time or Place save what after the Discovery of the general Design Mr. West spoke of as to Arms bought by him 't was at Newmarket and the first News I heard of the Fire was at Beverly in Yorkshire As to my coming over with the late Duke of Monmouth it was in prosecution of the same Ends but the Lord in his Holy and Wise Providence hath been pleased to blast all our Undertakings though there seemed to be a very Unanimous Zealous Spirit in all those that came from beyond the Seas And as to the Duke of Monmouth's being declared King I was wholely passive in it I never being present at any publick Debate of that Affair and should never have advised it but Complained of it to Collonel Homes and Captain Patchell I believe the Lord Gray and Mr. Ferguson the chief Promoters of that As to the Temptation of being an Evidence and bringing others into Trouble or Danger tho' the meanest person I alwayes abhorred and detested the Thoughts of it both when I was in and out of Danger of Life and advised some very strongly against it except when under my Distraction in Prison that amongst other Temptations did then violently assault me but through the Goodness of my dearest God and Father I was preserved from it and indeed was wholely incable of doing it for want of True Reason and could never receive the least shadow of Comfort from it but thought Death more elegible I was sometimes during my Distracted and Disquieted Condition free from it though notwithout other Temptations far more Criminal in the sight of men And I bless the Father of all Mercies and God of all Consolations that I find a great Resignedness of my Will to his finding infinite more Comfort in Death than ever I could place in Life tho' on Conditions that might seem honourable every hour seeing the Will of God in his ordering this Affair more and more cleared up to me God hath given and God hath taken blessed be his Holy Name that hath enabled me to be willing to suffer rather than to put forth my hand unto Iniquity or to say of Confederacy with them that do so I am heartily and sincerely troubled for what hath happened many mens Lives being lost and many Poor Distressed Families Ruin'd the Lord pardon the Sin he hath seen in it and he in his wonderful Providence hath made me and others concerned Instruments not only of what is already fallen out but I believe in hastening some other Great Works he hath to do in these Kingdoms whereby he will try purge his People and winnow the Chaff from the Wheat the Lord keep those that are his Faithful to the End As to my Faith I neither hope nor look for any Mercy but only by the Free Grace of God by the Application of the Blood of Jesus my dearest and only Saviour to my poor sinful Soul My Distresses have been exceeding great as to my Eternal Estate but through the infinite Goodness of God tho' I have many heinous Sins to answer for yet I hope and trust as to my perticuler that Christ came for this very end and purpose to Relieve the Oppressed and to be a Physician to the Sick I come unto thee O blessed Jesus refuse me not but wash in thine own Blood and then present me to thy Father as Righteous What though my Sins be Crimson and of a Scarlet Die yet thou canst make them as White as Snow I see nothing in my self but what must utterly Ruin and Condemn me I cannot Answer for one Action of my whole Life but I cast my self wholely upon thee who art the Fountain of Mercies in whom God is Reconciling himself unto the World the greatest of Sins and Sinners may find an All sufficiency in thy Blood to cleanse them from all Sin Dearest Father of Mercy look upon me as Righteous and thorow the Imputed Righteousness of thy Son he has paid the Debt by his own offering himself up for Sin and in that thy Justice is satisfied and thy Mercy is magnified I Dye in Charity with all the World and can readily and heartily forgive all my Enemies even those who have been Evidences against me And I most humbly beg the Pardon of all I have any wise in the least injured and in an especial manner I most humbly ask the Pardon of the Lady Lisle's Family and Relations for that my being succoured there one Night with Mr. Hicks brought that worthy Lady to suffer Death I was wholely a Stranger to her Ladyship I came with Mr. Hicks neither did she as I verily believe ever know who I was or my Name till I was taken And if any other have come to any Loss or Trouble upon my Account I humbly beg their Pardon and were I in a Condition would as far as I was able make them requited Grant me thy Love O Dearest Father Assist me and stand by me in the Needful Hour of Death give thy Angels Charge over me poor Soul that the Devil may not touch nor hurt it defend me from his power and deliver me from his Rage and receive me into thy Eternal Kingdom in and through the Attonement of my Dearest Redeemer for whom I praise thee and unto whom with thy self and Holy Spirit be ascribed all Glory Power Might and Dominion forever and ever Amen Lord Jesus Receive My Spirit
