a good measure satisfied he might Lawfully take them for he had had the Opinion of some Learned men about them and particulary of an acquaintance of his a Doctor of Sorbon and Canon of St. Bennets in Paris who told him the Oath of Supremacy might Lawfully be taken by all the Catholique Subjects of the King of England it was no more than what the Catholique Church of England had done before they were forbidden by the Pope's Order which Order being but a private Order of the Popes and not of a general Council was not according to the Canon and therefore of no force Why did you not said I take the Oaths seeing you was so well satisfied about them He replyed it was the Test that went more against him than the Oaths beside I was advised said he by a Person of Quality not to take the Oaths and he gave me this Reason for his Advice That so long as I was not obliged to the King by Oath I might Act against him with the more freedom That said I was a special Friend to the Government But you say it was the Test went against you He said he would not be compelled by an Act of Parliament to declare his Opinion of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ Points in Religion he said were not to be determined in Parliament My Answer to this was That when the Bishops and those of the Clergy of the Convocation commanded by the King 's Writ have met and consulted and are agreed in a point in Religion it is afterwards brought into Parliament to receive a Civil Sanction If I could said he be satisfied about the Real Presence I could come up to all things else in the Church of England as for the word Transubstantiation I do confess I never understood it Sir said I this is not a time for you to puzzle your self about difficulties in Religion your business is Repentance yet for your better satisfaction I will turn you to a short Answer in our Church Catechism Where the Question being asked What is the inward part or thing signified by the outward Elements Answer is made The Body and Blood of Christ which is verily and indeed taken and received by the Faithful Endeavour to understand these words in their proper sense and you need trouble your self no further As you cannot without offering violence to both your Reason and your Senses believe the Elements upon the words of Consecration to be turned into the Natural Body and Blood of Christ So not to believe Christ to be present in that Sacrament in a more especial manner than many do that talk of Symbols and Figures naked Elements is a mean Opinion and unworthy the greatest Mystery in the Christian Religion The Body and Blood of Christ is verily and indeed taken and received by the Faithful You and I will not dispute the manner of it at this time I enquire no further said he I will receive the Sacrament of you before I dye and the Lord fit me for it Amen said I and since you have made this Resolution of your own accord you must give me leave to mind you of it He said there was nothing hindred him from receiving but the disturbance he was in for the absence of his Wife and Friends he could give no directions concerning his poor Wife and Children and until he had seen his Wife and disposed the Affairs of his Family and thereby settled his mind he durst not receive I told him he must not discompose himself the seeing his Wife was not his great concern he must prepare to dye and if he were not fit to receive the Sacrament he was not fit to dye Wherefore said I you must needs lay aside all thoughts of this World and prepare for another you must examine your self and set your sins in order and lament the Follies of your past Life the work you have to do is great and your time is but short and you stand upon the very brinks of Eternity and if you neglect or be not sincere and hearty in what you do now you are lost and undone for ever Here Mr. Fitz-Harys began to be very much moved and fell a weeping and said he would deal ingenuously with me he thanked me for my admonitions and falling upon his knees begged of me to hear him for he was resolved he said to give the world satisfaction I lifted him up and desired him to keep his Chair Sir said he you are a stranger to me and to my knowledge I never saw you before in all my life yet the good opinion I have of you that you deal faithfully by me shall oblige me to say that to you which I have refused to say to others I will declare to you all that I know of Publick matters Mr. Fitz-Harys said I I have no orders to hear you in those matters I come to you as a Divine as a guide to your Soul to help your Devotions and to compleat your Repentance I am not a fit person to whom you should declare your self in things of State you have had some of the greatest Ministers of State with you who came to you on purpose to have you declare your mind they were the fittest persons to whom you should have done it they could have served you I cannot I can give you no hopes of life whatever you declare Let me desire you to send for them again I will go to them from you and acquaint them that you desire they would come to you once more and you will speak your mind No said he they are great men and I care not to speak before them beside what I shall declare is for the discharging of my Conscience and not out of hopes to save my life by it I do not believe the King will pardon me and those assurances that have been given me from others have made me obstinate I have been made believe all along that I should be brought off but I see now it is too late that I have been deluded and to declare to the Kings Ministers would be to no purpose I shall not save my life by it yet if you will hear me I will declare the truth and you may acquaint the King with it for they are things of consequence and such as concern the good of the King and Kingdom Well said I if you are resolved to declare I am obliged to hear you and if they be things of moment I can do no less than let the King or some Lords of the Privy Council know what you declare but as for any hopes to save your life I can give you none It is towards evening and I have neither Pen nor Ink nor Paper I will take my leave of you for tonight and will be with you God willing again in the Morning A good night to you and I pray God be your comfort Saturday June the 18th about Ten a clock in the Morning I went up to Mr.
