not that for the intentions of serving my Prince that I could deserve such a Death though Ten thousand times more other ways Doctor Hide There was some suspition that you might impart the way you were upon to some of those Servants that were with you Sir Henry Hide I humbly thank you for remembring me of it and if any be here of the Turky Company this day or any Friend of theirs I shall desire them from a dying Man to take this truth That neither my Brother my innocent Brother that is with me nor other Gentlemen with me in my company have contributed any thing to their disturbance it was my own business whatsoever hath been done that hath been to evil or loss though I deny both of them in my Intentions I come not here to accuse any man nor to excuse my self but to praise God for all his deliverances yet I know I shall do God a great deal of Service and them a great deal of Justice in not involving any of my company in any thing of mischief I cannot answer Objections I finde a man may be in Turky or any place all the World over where they will give that Language which they hold fitting but this is beneath me Blessed be Almighty God that hath called me to the Knowledge of him and this ready Obedience which I pay and merciful accepting of my Saviour and patient Death And I beseech you all whatever you are That you will accompany me with your Prayers whereby my Soul may be assisted within me in that passage to my Saviour whither I am going I am weak of Body I have discontinued long from the Kingdom I am unacquainted with new Forms I have desired to serve God according to his Commandments after the Old way I have begged mercy of God for all my offences to him and I have had my pardon sealed from Heaven by the Blood of my Saviour I beg pardon of all whosoever whether I have offended them or no I truly forgive them and have besought Almighty God to pour his blessings upon them I accuse no man I finde fault nor quarrel with no man neither with the persons that were the occasions they were but the Instruments neither at the persons condemning I accept thankfully the Sentence of Death upon my self and I beseech Almighty God that I may be the last that may suffer upon this score or upon any other Master Sheriff If there be any thing wherein I can give any other satisfaction to any Christian whatsoever in any kinde as I spake in general I bless Almighty God from my own Heart now so assisted by the especial Operation and Motions and Dictates of the Holy Ghost if I can know any thing wherein or how to be now in my dying not having served God so well in my life serviceable to the Church of God of Christ and the full satisfaction of any whatsoever I am here ready I am unacqainted but in my extasies to Heaven there is that Glory I am going to I beseech Almighty God that he will give me Grace to bless his holy Name as for all as for Jesus Christ and in him all things so particularly for this That he hath thought me worthy to bring me hither for my Faithfulness to my Master for doing what I was commanded by my Master that is the most Pious and most Just Prince in all the World My Master hath suffered bitterly in England and if there be any failing in his Service the fault is onely mine God knows I have done nothing in the business but by the instance of the Merchants I delivered my Letters and there they lie To other things I am a Stranger I hope that God will give me the Grace of Perseverance in that Christian Religion in that Loyalty to my Prince in that Love to all the World that now being to give up my Account to him that I may with comfort be received in the Arms of his Mercy If there be any thing Master Sheriff that I may give satisfaction in I am ready to do it according to the poor Talent I have I will receive my punishment in the way God hath prepared for me and many ways I have been taken up Truly I am bound to all that see me and many thousands more since I came into England not an uncivil look we had strange reports abroad not an uncivil look from any God repay them all and return them from the Throne of his Grace into their own bosoms And God in particular bless that Honorable Lady who was the occasion of the coming of my Lords Grace of Armagh with the Confirmation of those glorious and eternal Messages of Comfort which now I am going to enjoy being thankful to all those that know me and know me not for since I am come hither whereas I might have received prejudice in respect to my Loyalty which is not the way now I have from them all received courtesie the Lord repay them I thank God I am otherwise bred and my Allegiance hath been incorporated imbodied into my Religion and besides the great desires of other Gentlemen that I might not go out of the world but that the world might see that the grace of God hath had a perfect Reformation in me and a willing and thankful Submission to his Will therefore I repent me not of it but I beseech Almighty God to bless and prosper all people whatsoever that to this Kingdom belong As my Speech is imperfect so is my Health I have forced my self in this Discourse to give that satisfaction which I could And I beseech you Mr. Sheriff if you can hear of any Gentlemen that are wronged what I offer here I am to answer it and I beseech you joyn with me in your Christian Prayers that I may have a passage whither I am now going to give an account not onely of every deed but of every word Then turning to his Man he said Sir H.

Hide Pray Sir give me the Ax. And then taking the Ax in his hand he kissed it and returned it to the Executioner again saying Sir H. Hide I will onely say Lord Jesus receive my Soul and when I lift up my Right-hand do your work And then lying down again after a little space he lift up his Right-hand and the Executioner at one stroke severed his Head from his Body FINIS
