Some short but necessary Animadversions on the Paper delivered to Dr. Hawkins together with a Copy of the Paper it self entituled The Confession of Edward Fitz-Harris Esq written with his own Hand and delivered c. Reprinted from the Copy published by the Doctor and these Animadversions added to prevent the deluding of Protestants by it ALL that have heard of the Execution of Fitz-Harris and of the Paper he left with Dr. Hawkins are undoubtedly curiously inquisitive after the sight of it it is therefore thus printed in a Half Sheet for the convenience of dispersing them throughout the Kingdom But I durst not make this Publication without taking notice of the Incredibility of some passages in it for I do not know the Attestors But admitting Fitz-Harris did leave this Paper and the Attestations be true it doth not therefore follow the Narrative it self is true I leave any man to judge whether the second Paragraph looks like the drawing up of such a Layman as Fitz-Harris or not rather like the work of a Churchman Those that know our present Sheriffs know them to be Men of more Prudence and Honesty than he would suggest them to be and as for our Recorder he is known to be too good a Christian to swear at that rate and too wise a man to tell such a Fellow that The Libel was a Court Trick nor can he be thought so ridiculous as to tell him Do you say a thing and we have those that will swear it But the truth is the whole Contrivance is so foolish that no wise man will believe it Notwithstanding his so solemn declaring and protesting his Paper to be true yet the whole Kingdom can give him the Lie in one passage viz. where he tells us that the Sheriffs brought Instructions which they said came from the Lords and Commons who met that day in order to address the King in his behalf when all men know the Parliament was not sitting during his Imprisonment in Newgate where onely the Sheriffs came to him nor did they meet till several days after he was sent to the Tower Now when he is so easily contradicted herein who will believe the rest It was reported it would come out by order of Council but that proving false we may well suspect the Story it self there being so many Shams now abroad The Confession of Edward Fitz-Harys Esq Written with his own Hand and delivered to 〈◊〉 Hawkins Minister of the Tower the First of July 1681. being the day of his Execution together with his last Speech I Edward Fitz Harys having been indicted of High Treason for endeavouring to dethrone the King was thereupon found Guilty and Sentence of Death passed upon me I the aforesaid Edward Fitz-harys do voluntarily and freely without any hopes to save my life but as a dying Man and to discharge my Conscience towards God and for the better satisfaction of the World make this Declaration following in the presence of God and unto Doctor Francis Hawkins Chaplain of the Tower of London I do profess and declare my Religion in the general to be that which hath been truly and anciently delivered in the first Four General Councils and in particular my belief is that true Faith of a Christian briefly contained in those three Creeds commonly called The Apostles Creed St. Athanasius's and The Nicene Creeds And I die a Member and in the Communion of Christs Holy Catholick Church hoping for Mercy through the alone Merits of the Passion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I do also confess and declare as to the Crimes which I die for I was no further concerned in the Libel than as employed to give the King notice of what Libels or other Accusations there were against him and to this intent and no other I endeavoured to get this Libel which at length I did from Mr. Everard all written under his own hand and carried it to Mrs. Wall by whose means I conveyed all Matters of this or the like nature ●o the King I told her I had a Business of great consequence to acquaint the King with but she answered me That my Lord Sunderland being out there would be no money had for Secret Service and advised me to go to the Ld. Clarendon or Hyde but before I could do this I was taken As for that part of the Libel which I left with Everard as a Pledge to assure him I would not betray him I received it of the Lord Howard And the Money I received from the King was for bringing a libel called The King unvail'd and the Lady Portsmouths Articles I call God to Witness I never had a Farthing charity from the King I do further confess and declare That the Lord Howard told me of a Design to seize upon the Kings Person and to carry him into the City and there 〈…〉 their Desires Heyns and my self were privy to this design and had several Meetings with the Lord Howard and as an Encouragement the Lord Howard assured us of breaking the Settlement of Ireland taking off the Additional Revenue of the Bishops Forty nine Men and Grantees whose Estates were to be shar'd amongst the Party I do confess and declare That while I was in Newgate the Sheriffs Bethel and Cornish came to me with a Token from the Lord Howard which I knew to be true and brought Heads with them from Everard wherein he accused me of being a Court Emissary or Yorkist put on by the King to put the Libel into Protestant Houses to trepan them But I declare upon my death I had no such intent nor do I know any such thing The Sheriffs likewise told me I was to be tryed within three or four days that the People would Prosecute me and the Parliament would impeach me and that nothing would save my life but discovering the Popish Plot and then the Sheriffs aforesaid gave me great encouragement from the Lord Howard that if I would declare I believed so much of the Plot as amounted to the introducing the R. C. or if I could find out any that could Criminate the Queen R. H. or make so much as a plausible Story to confirm the Plot that the Parliament would restore me to my fathers Estate with the Profits thereof since his Majesties Restauration I finding my self in the condition I was in Newgate Fettered Monyless and Friendless my Wife ready to Lye-in without any subsistence my Children in a miserable condition and must needs be in a worse my death and I could see no other Refuge for life but complying with them so not with ambitious intent but to save my life I did comply The Sheriffs brought instructions which they said came from the Lords and Commons who met that day in order to Address to the King in my behalf if I should confirm the Instructions and they made use of the Lord Shaftsbury's Name and others what Advantage I might have thereby At the first I made a formal Story concerning the
