A TRUE RELATION OF THE Late Kings Death ON Monday being the 2d of February the King rose early saying that he had not slept well the last Night And about seven of the Clock coming from his private Devotions out of his Closet fell down and scarce any sign of of Life remaining in him for the space of four Houres of a Fit of an Apoplexy but with the loss of sixteen Ounces of Blood and other Aplications came again to his Sences and great Hopes were of his Recovery till Thursday one of the Clock so that at five the Doctors being come before the Council declared that the K was in great Danger and on Friday a quarter before twelve he departed this Life God have Mercy on his Soul P. M. A. C. F. came to the D. upon the Doctors telling him of the State of the K. and tould him that now was the time for him to take care of his Br. Soul and that it was his Duty to tell him so The D with this Admonishment went to the K. and after some private Discourse the K. uttered these Expressions Oh B. how long have I wished but now help me withal declaring that he would have Mr. H. who had preserved him in the Tree and now hoped would preserve his Soul Mr. Hud was accordingly sent for and desired to bring all Nessisaries for a dying Man but he not having the blessed Sacrament by him went to one of the Q. P. and telling him the Occasion desired his Assistance to procure it and to bring it to the back Stairs The K. having notice that Mr. H. waited at the Door desired to be in private whereupon the Bps. and all the Nobles withdrew the D. catching fast the Door the Lords P. B. and F. were going out also but the D. told them that they might stay The K. seeing Mr. H. cryed out Almighty God what good Planet governs me that all my Life is Wonders and Miracles When O Lord I consider my Infancy my Exile my Escape at Worcester my Preservation in the Tree with the Assistance of this good Father and now to have him again to preserve my Soul O Lord my wonderful Restoration my great Danger in the late Conspiracy and last of all to be raised from Death to Life and to have my Soul preserved by the Assistance of this Father whom I see O good Lord that thou hast created for my Good The D. and Lords withdrew into the Closset for the space of an houre and half then entring again the Room the F. asked the K. whether he would be pleased to receive he answered If I were worthy of it Amen Amen The F. remaining comforting and praying with him he said Father if I am worthy of it I pray let me have it The F. said it would be brought to him imediately and asked his Leave to proceed with extream Unction the K. reply'd with all my Heart the D. and Lords assisting at the time Mr. H. was called to the Door where he received the blessed Sacrament and desiring the K. to compose himself to receive he would fain have arose but was perswaded to the contrary saying Let me meet my heavenly Father in a better manner than lying on my back But being overruled they continue in Prayer Amongst others the Father repeats an Act of Contrition desiring the K. to repeat it word by word after him Having made an end the K. received with the greatest Expressions of Devotion imaginable This being ended they go on with the Prayers de Anime that being done the K. desired the Act of Contrition to be again repeated saying O Lord good God when my Lips fail let my Heart speak these Words Eternally Amen The Bishops and Lords enter again the Room and desire the K. to remember his last End and to endeavour to make a good End he said he had thought of it and hoped he had made his Peace with God they asked him whether he would receive he said he would not so persisting in Extolling the Q. and D. saying he was not sorry to leave the World leaving so good a Brother to Rule behind him FINIS
