Parties and tender of every little fry of Locusts were elected by general consent to mannage and contrive the Design of reducing us to a Free-State and to Surprise the King in White-Hall my Lord Chancellor my Lord Duke of Albemarle and Major General Sir Richard Brown And that they had protested secrecy by lifting up their hands to Almighty God and they were resolved to expedite the work And to that end several Messengers being Church-Members were directed into the Country and all persons of that Interest were resolved to acquiess in what they should Act and prepare as those Six should direct To insist much on particulars Riggs with the rest were somewhat shy that afternoon but we appointed to meet on the morrow at the same place of the Exchange Tuesday I met Riggs Bradley Baker Iames Hill and to our godly society came one Capt. Brown a Sea Captain dwelling in Wapping and Iames Hinde a Gunner to a Ship It was long because so much company was there before our good Discourse of the Work of God begun yet at last Riggs could no longer detain it from his new Brother but taking me aside assured me that this Work was long intended that Intelligence came in agreeable to expectation from the Counties that he the said Riggs was intendded once to be one of those six but he had engaged himself in business in a Brew-house in town that he could not defer but he was very instrumental in encouraging honest men to the Work and in satisfying the Fifth-monarchy men who would have undertaken the Work themselves and then 't was his work with several others to put a stop to it until all parties were agreed and though the Presbyter would not be active yet he doubted not but many of them were consenting to the Work But if I would meet him the said Riggs on the Wednesday night late I should have better information for the six persons in Council sate so obscure not twice in a place all disguized and were resolved to act it so secret that no person Friend or Foe except two persons should know where or when they met or whom they were But Lieutenant Strange would come to town that Wednesday and he the said Riggs should meet him and give me full information For the meeting I gave him my faithful promise and this time I had understanding of somewhat formidable then I began to consider with my self the consequence of this Design and how desperate the Rogues were in their Attempts that here was a full Combination and I believed the zeal of these Rogues was such that they had no Design of Trepanning me I consulted my self how I should proceed wisely and timely enough for their Discovery I presently meditated that this was to be acted in the City and that the King's Majesty had intrusted Major General Brown with the care of the City and that he was of an active spirit and quick in counsel I immediately attended him and had suitable Instructions from him where by the next day being Thursday I was as full of matter for them as they were of villainy to their Prince and Countrey But Wednesday night I attended Riggs for the News that Strange should impart and then I was informed by him that some Moneths since there was a Southampton man that had offered his service to the Churches in London with a new Model of Government for their Saintships when they had rooted out the Amorites from amongst them and also a Plot for them to act whereby they should ease themselves from the Government of that Antichristian thing called Monarchy But his counsel was rejected as the Committee of Safety rejected Sir Vane's whereupon he sold his Estate and took ship for Holland but now Mr. Rogers the Minister was sent to reinvite him and several Army-officers resident there for their assistance here in this blessed Work exceeding earnest I was to know those six persons in Council Riggs could not fully resolve but he was sure though he had heard others nominated yet Philip Nye Lockier the Minister and Anthony Palmer the Minister with Colonel Danvers and Lieutenant Strange were very active in it he did believe he had pitched upon some of them and that they had sate lately at the Wheat-sheaf in Thames-street concerning the business Thursday being October the 23 d. their Brother failed not to meeâ— them at the Ship in Leadenhall-street Then in short from Riggs and Hinde I was confidently assured Windsor Castle was their own five hundred men were fixed in and about Windsor the Serjeants and head Gunner were Right Boys and Captain Tonge had been with the Serjeants there and brought a Letter to be communicated to the Council from the Serjeants of their fidelity That all the Churches in London were concerned in it that now their Money did fly and the Churches were able to raise twelve thousand if not twenty thousand to pay their grand Adversaries in Whitehal at Somerset-house and Worcester-house and to be sure never a Lawn Sleeve or Circingle-man should have a hole to hide their heads in this Nation Four hundred Assistants Riggs affirmed in Dorsetshire they were ascertained of and that several Cases of Pistols were sent down by a Carrier into that Countrey Riggs acquainted us then that in a Ware-house in Crutchet-friers Arms were lodged and there five hundred had been dispersed to those that were not able to buy them that they intended to make a desperate Assault in Whitehall and one party should attempt it by coming in at the Gate into St. Iames's Park to assault my Lord Duke of Albemarle whom they must presently dispatch because when the King was destroyed he had power as Lord General to raise Forces by his Commission in any part of the Nation Also when I put the question concerning the King what we should do with him Riggs answered That then they were resolved to give no quarter to any body Likewise and it shall please Your Majesty that Ludlow was to be General and the same Law he should have had the same the best or highest of their enemies should have Many Friends in Kent looked for the blessed hour and when I asked who should command them there Riggs answered Col. Kenrick for he was suâ—e the Council had sent him Instructions yesterday by a Messenger that he had sent to them for the same Also that there lodged a Lieutenant at the Wheat-sheaf in Thames-street that had five hundred men at command for this work he being formerly a Sea Commander and was safe in that Lodging because it was Lamberts mans house who was their trusty and welbeloved friend The same night Baker formerly mentioned brought into my compâ—ny one Hayward a pitiful yong Porter that plieth about Bowlane end in Cheapside that was formerly of Okeys Regiment and that affiâ—med to me three or four and twenty of their Cheapside Porters would knock it soundly when the day of rising was Likewise Riggs asserted that one Ward a

Chandler in East-Smithfield did furnish the Magazines with much Powder and sent it by honest Porters in Baskets in white Sheets Likewise that that day Mr. Brooks the Minister was numbring out the faithful-fighting Brethren in his Congregation and those that could not help with their holy hands must with their purse And also that Riggs was positive that if they could have gotten Kiffing and the Churches to have expended their money the work had proceeded last year Friday the twentieth fouâ—th instant at our Meeting at the Feathers Tavern in Fish-street there being Riggs Bradley Baker and my self I pressed hard according to the counsel of Sir Richard Brown for Arms for thirty men I had made sure of which Arms were pâ—omised me because I would know where their Magazine was Answer was given by Riggs That he had proposed it to Captain Tonge Strong-water-seller in Tower-Ditch And Tonge replied That no Arms would be delivered me unless I was a Church member But Riggs and my self meeting one Sellers on the Exchange Riggs presently acquaints him with my desire Sellers repâ—ied that all which were five or six hundred were delivered out last night and that forty of their friends departed last night uâ—furnished but in three or four days some more would be brought to the Mazagine at Crutchet-Friers and then I should have them Some persons who are Citizens were discovered this day but at night Riggs Ward the Chandler Lt. Stubbs Bradley Baker and Iames Hind we all associated at Captain Tonges house in Tower-Ditch Ward being a cunning St. Rogue was reserved as I heard after because I was a stranger to him But Tonge couraged us that one Captain Elton told him that Lieutenant Strange came out of the Countrey last night from lodging the Horses in several by-places and corresponding with several Agents there and the work proceeded gallantly in City and Country and that for fourteen miles round the City all their friends were ready waited but for the knowledge of the day And for the surprizal of the Tower Tonge said he had fixed many of the Red Coats to open a back Gate and with Blunderbushes to enter Also that Captain Leigh had also been with Tonge last night and assured him that those that sate in counsel intended speedy action Saturday Octob. 25. Bradley and my self visited Riggs at his house and there he had this comfort for us That the Commanders were all nominated Ludlow certainly to be their General That Captain Spencer and Taverner formerly Governors of the Castles in Kent commanding the Sea had assured the Council of the surprizal of those Castles by their interest there Then was several Copies of the Letter given forth by the direction of the Council to be noised through the City the Contents of which Letter was that the Forces and Papists at Whitehal did intend a massacre in the City of all the Protestant party The copy whereof I have Riggs then assured us A man that he knew was to be assistant at the assault at Whitehal that would bring the party to the Treasuries at Whitehal and elswhere But for money large sums were in Bank of their own notwithstanding that all Treasuries must be seized and at Whitehal with my Lord Chancellor and his Attendance at Worcester-house also St. Iames Somerset-house no quarter should be given But their indignation swelled highly against my Lord General Monk and Sir Richard Brown they should die who ever escaped without mercy and then when Sir Richard was slain the City was their own Captain Tonge this day certified us that Strange was again gone into the Countrey but his return was this night then more particular news we should have But to morrow being Sunday at the several Meetings they intended to whisper the appointed time of Insurrection to each other Riggs then affirmed with Tonge that many new Blunderbushes were made for the Design and that they had Head-peeces Back and Brest for Two thousand Horsemen and that Captain Leigh told him the said Riggs that they were not to seek as to the work in Ireland that special care was taken by the Reverend Council for that affair Helmes the Minister formerly of Winchcomb in Gloucester-shire was discovered by Riggs to be Active in this desiâ—n This night Tonge boasted to me that he was to go to a Cane man who had bought Armes for six men for this design at his own cost and charge Sunday and Monday last our Information from them was That all the Horse that formerly departed the Town were to return by Monday night That their Declaration was ready founded on Righteous Principles to the compleat satisfaction as much as the Holy Sisters And on the Monday Riggs and my self saluted Sergeant Phillips Sergeant to Colonel Whales Company of the Militia Bands for his good service on the Sunday morning in sending Intimation to several places where the Godly had their Meetings of their intended surprisal by the Major General which Seargeant as Tonge and Riggs informed me was to furnish the Party with the Word that were to secure the City and upon the Sunday when he was on the Guard he wished their Party were up for he thought a few would do the work The Armes that Tonge and Hind hath provided for this design as they say I have seen And one Captain Brown a Sea Captain must needs discover himself also that he had sold his Ship on purpose that he may fight stoutly in this work on Land Tuesday October 28. Our Intelligence from Riggs and one Beazley by Fleetbridg a Chandler that the Council was dissolved 2000 Horse came into the Town yesterday that Wednesday night was originally intended to be the fatal night although they had now fixed another time On Tuesday night late I was carried by Riggs and Beazley with Lt. Stubbs into Black-Friers into a House the Sign thereof I know not but the House I know where we had Intelligence from one Gibbs and other persons their Names I could not learn that the Council were to meet again Wednesday morning Some intelligence the Council had of Arms and Ammunition the City had provided in the several Halls and because it was commonly reported about the Town the Lord Mayors day at night would be the time whereupon they all supposed Alhallows Even and those persons that were with us were somewhat assured would be the time and we were all desired to prepare against that time There and then Gibbs Riggs Captain Thomas in Shoe lane Lt. Stubbs and three other persons assured us that that Even or neer would be the time we should cut off Root and Branch rid our selves as their expression was of Kings Queens Dukes Bishops all should go one way there should be no running beyond Sea or Parleys there but a total destruction of King Lords Bishops and Gâ—ntry was the determination of them there and as they affirmed of all the rest engaged in the work The several days Intelligence I committed to faithful Sir Richard

one Elton in White-chappel one Raddon Captain Spurway of Tiverton a West-countrey Gentleman Dr. Ward in Southwark and Iones a Minister Sir Hen. Finch Did Tonge tell you that the time was appointed when the Rising should be Tyler I know nothing of that Maynard What about Leicester Riggs Hill said he dwelt there and came from some that dwelt there and others in Glocestershire but there was another person with Stubbs and Tonge and said there was a Report in the Countrey that there would be some Rising and he came to Town to bring his childe to put him Apprentice with his Brother and would go down again and carry the certainty of the News he was one of Lambert's Souldiers Phillips Mr. Tyler did not you come in with the Carrier of Norwich to Captain Fosters Tyler No I did not Phillips I am sure I came accidentally to Captain Fosters and going I saw you there Gibbs Did I tell you Mr. Riggs that my Brother said Ludlow was in Town and there would be a Rising shortly Riggs Mr. Hill Beasly Stubbs and I and you were together Mr. Thomas and your Brother came in your Brother Beasley Stubbs and Thomas were private in discourse when you came again to us we asked you what news you said before we came you knew not much but your Brother could tell but then you said Ludlow was in Town the Council was broke up and that Messengers were sent to give notice to the countrey Gibbs I deny that I or my Brother said so Maynard Know you any thing of surprizing the Kings Council or Whitehall or any thing of that or altering the Government Tyler As for altering the Government that must needs be designed for Tonge said it was debated and thought convenient as being the desire of several in the countrey that the old Parliament should be chosen again that was to say that so many of them that had approved themselves faithful from first to last to a Common-wealths interest especially in the times of Declension Secondly that none should have power to elect or be elected but such also as have approved themselves faithful as aforesaid Thirdly this House was to be filled up within a Moneth Fourthly that it should continue one Year and no more Fifthly that they should not have power in things of an Ecclesiastical nature to impose any thing upon the consciences of the People Sixthly that it should be high Treason amongst them to assert the interest of a King House of Lords or single person Seventhly that they should not appoint any salary Officers Eighthly that while they keep to this it should be high Treason to disturb them as touching Arms and things of that nature the truth is the business which was very much urged is this that there should be an uniting of all interests together Quaker Fifth-monarchy men Anabaptist Independent Presbyterian and Leveller to which purpose every one was obliged at the Meeting to see what interest they could make among the Presbyters because they looked upon them as persons that had most money and strength I think there was no Presbyterian spoken of except one who is lately secured in the Tower he said that if so be that Col. Beanes was at liberty he believed he could engage him There was one man that was there which was one Prior I suppose Tonge knew him he said he had very much acquaintance with the Presbyters knew many in the countrey and that there they did not meet with any difficulties as here for all interests Quakers and Presbyterians and the rest are all agreed Sir Hen. Finch Very well you see Tonge was at all these Meetings at the Wheat-sheaf and Shears and there were the Colonels proposed Did you hear of any Orders given out in any of these consultations to make the Rising in the countrey at the same time as in London Tyler Mr. Gibbs's Brother told us that he kept a correspondence in the countrey that in Essex he knew there were divers Horse ready there and I my self spoke with one who is lately secured who said there were divers Horse ready thereabouts I remember there were several at the Half-moon at Bishops-gate one Smith a Northamptonshire man and one Elâ—se of Chesterfield and Tonge and we heard that at Mansfield and Nottingham there was a Rising intended and it was assured that the countrey was very ripe and forward for action We were informed that there were two hundred Horse at Bristow one person not yet secured did affirm to us that one Colonel Templar in Essex had two or three thousand men ready his name was Thomas that Templar was now in Town if we would we might go and speak with him Said I Surely he doth but tell you this saith he His Lieutenant Colonel gave me this information and assures me that his Colonel had converted his Estate into Money to pay his Souldiers Upon this having occasion to go down into Essex I promised Tonge I would inquire further there and understanding that one Thornback a Glover was one of these Templar's men formerly I went to his house and being not at home I rode to Holsted Fair and riding there the man pulled me by the coat for he knew me saith he Mr. Tyler my servant said you were at my house to speak with me Yes said I I understand your name is Thornback That you can give me some account concerning Colonel Templar we hear in London that he hath two or three thousand men in readiness I pray inform me saith he I do not believe any such matter I have served him long and if occasion were he would be for you I asked him the news saith he We all dread a Massacre we understand by a Letter from Ipswiâ—h that the Papists intend a Massacre of all Protestants about All-hallontide and that that countrey was in great fear about it This Thomas the Copper-smith told us another story about some Roman Catholicks in Southwark that had a purpose to rise and take off all Phanaticks After this the Court directed that Phillips Examination should be shewed him at the Bar and he acknowledged his Hand thereto and was read as followeth The Examination of George Phillips Serjeant and Bringer up to Colonel Sir Wales's Company of Trayned Bands in the City of London taken this 29th of October 1662. before me Richard Brown Who sayeth THat he knoweth one Parson Riggs late Chaplain to Blake who is now Clerk to one Friend a Brewer in Catts Hole near the Iron-gate in St Katherines which said Riggs told him this Examinant That there would be a Rising of divers Godly People in Arms for preservation of Religion about the time the Queen came to Town and that they intended to seise the Kings Person about Camberwel in his passage to see the Queen Mother at Greenwich but after the Queen was come to Town this Examinant asked the said Riggs why it was not done according to their intendment who replyed they were not then ready because

The Manner of Conveying the Prisoners to the Place of Execution and their Behavior there before they began to Speak THe 22. Decemb. Thomas Tonge George Phillips Francis Stubbs and Nathaniel

Gibbs were according to a late Sentence drawn on two Hurdles viz. Tonge and Phillips in one and Stubbs and Gibbs in the other to the common place of Execution at Tyborn Where being come they were received into a Cart under the Gallows and the Executioner desiring them severally to forgive him they all declared they did freely forgive him and all their enemies and did severally salute each other with this Phrase Welcome Brother and to one another said We are now lanching into the deep They being all tied up Phillips gave the Executioner a small sum of money and the rest directed the Executioner to take out of their pockets a small parcel of money as their gift to him and Phillips afterwards bended a Six-pence and presented it to a friend of his Mr. Stroud and a Shilling likewise bended to one Mr. Clark Then the Under-Sheriff of Middlesex acquainted them they had all free liberty to speak provided they did not reflect upon his Majesty or the present Government which they all promised not to do and thanked him for his civility and then Phillips began in manner following Friends and Countrey-men I Am come this day to pay that great debt that I owe to Nature it is a work that had need be well done for it is but once to be done My hope is now above and for what I now come to suffer for my own part I bless God in whose presence I now speak as a dying man I had not any murderous thought against the King but I have prayed for him and wished that he might Live and Reign and long Reign in Righteousness and that God would make his Crown a Crown of Righteousness upon his Head and bless him in his Government so that he may not know any of these occasions more For my part I have ventured my life for his Majesty it was far from my heart to do any thing of that nature The Lord receive my soul. I freely forgive all men as I hope to be forgiven of God I never did act any thing but onely this which was my ignorance of the Laws that I did not discover it and I was justly found Guilty for not discovering I have done Mr. Sheriff but hope after my Brethren have spoken we may have liberty to call upon the Lord. Vnd. Sher. It will not be denied you Then Mr. Tonge began in this manner Friends and Countrey-men YOu see me here a dying man I have sometimes been in some mens company where I have heard them contriving the business for which I am condemned to die and that which led me to joyn with them was this I was and had been sometimes in the Army and I have looked upon this Cause to be good As for his Majesty the Lord bless him and prosper him and put it into his heart that He may be a Nursing-Father indeed to this Countrey Vnd. Sher. Have you any more to say you may speak Tonge I have nothing more And then Gibbs proceeded and said COuntreymen and Friends and I hope Christians and the last consideration is that that makes me the more free to speak to you we all profess to own God and Jesus Christ to be our Saviour our Redeemer our Sanctifier and giver of and bestower upon us Eternal Life this should excite our Souls to love one another and upon the account of Gods love that God has so loved us as to give Jesus Christ to reconcile us sinners to God we ought to love one another it is his great command Truly as to the Cause for which I am brought here God the great Judge of Heaven and Earth before whom I stand knows that in the place where I have lived I behaved my self as an obedient Subject and when there was an Insurrection by the Fifth-Monarchy men I went out in my own person though I had Servants as well as others purely out of affection to His Majesty knowing that in the peace of His Government I should have peace and so I went out hazarded my Life and continued out till all was quiet I was at a neighbors house drinking of a cup of Beer on Tuesday night in the Kitching alone save onely the man of the house and the maid these men came in one Hill and Riggs that are the witnesses against me there was Riggs and Hills and this Stubbs and on Beazeley and I being alone in the Kitchin they asked for one Gibbs the people of the house told me there were some Gentlemen would speak with me I wished them to direct them to me and they came to me and through the ignorance of the Law which it seems runs thus If any words treasonable against his Majesty is spoken it is Treason to conceal it so thus I have given you in part the cause of my being here Hereupon information was given to the Kings Majesty that I should say there would be a Rising and that Al-hollows Eve was the time that there were arms sent into the Countrey and that Ludlow was to be General and this was charged upon me by the Kings Majesty when I came before him to be examined and upon Hills and Rigg's Oath I was sent to the Tower and kept a long time a Prisoner examined three or four times over by the Lords of his Majesties Council I have one word more As touching my Judgement I am reputed in the world to be one of those that is called by the name of Anabaptist a name of dirision and scorn One is an Anabaptist one an Independent one a Presbyterian one this and one that and one the other who gave these nick-names to Christians There is but one God one Lord Jesus one Baptism one Hope of Glory How comes the Body of Christ or the Members of Christ to be called these nick-names But now as I am one that do profess Faith in God through the Lord Jesus Christ and do stand before you all and before the Lord I know no other God but the Eternal and Living God that hath made the World and that Rules and Raigns and disposes all his Creatures I do believe in this God he has been gracious to me a poor sinner to all poor sinners that when we by reason of sin had forfeited all our mercies and were under wrath and everlasting destruction and must perish for ever that God did out of his rich grace and tender mercies give his onely begotten Son according to his promise to be the blessing of God to the poor Gentiles according as the Scripture did declare the Scriprure foreseeing that God would justifie the heathens through faith preached before the Gospel to Abraham saying In thee shall all the Nations of the earth be blessed he speâ—ks not of the natural seed of Abraham but of Christ so that all the blessings that God did convey to the sinful world is by the means of Jesus Christ whom God in the fulness of time did send his Son born of a woman to redeem

that are in the truth instruct them and you may recover them out of the claws of the Divel Are you Christians and have the light of God in your souls O then strengthen your brethren do not give them nick-names and abuse them that 's not the way Christ teaches another lesson That if thine enemy hunger you should feed them and if he be a thirsty give him drink we should pray to the Lord that he would turn those that be out of his way into the right way Vndersheriff You know we must be all subject to Government every Congregation must not have a Ruler their meetings are prohibited by good Authority and because they will not be obedient to good Government Gibbs I do not say that every Congregation must have a Ruler and I hope I speak the words of sobriety I hope you will put a charitable construction upon what I say As to the Magistrates I have a word or two Vndersheriff Speak well of them Gibbs Be not afraid I will not speak any evil of them Magistracy is an ordinance of God and the end of Magistracy is for the punishment of evil-doers and the praise of them that do well and for this purpose I do desire that the Lord would give to the supreme Magistate here on earth wisdom and understanding a wise Council a Council fearing God and hating covetousness that they may study to exalt the Throne of the King in righteousness and truth O that we may all praise the Lord for deliverance out of condemnation and I say it is the duty of all the subjects of the Kings Majesty in all his Kingdoms and Dominions to live peaceably and to pray for the Kings Majesty Prayers and intercessions ought to be made for all men especially for Kings and Governours for this very end and purpose that thereby we may live in all quietness godliness honesty and Justice and to this very end the Lord bless our Magistracy give them council and wisdom that they may love them that love the Lord and hate them that hate the Lord. After Gibbs had done speaking then Stubs began who went over all the particulars of his Trial at large to which for brevities sake we refer you only saith he as followeth Friends and Country-men IT is true and I must confess my sin in the presence of God and did ask mercy of the King that I was in the company when I did hear wicked and treasonable words spoken and I being ignorant and not knowing the Law did not discover what I did hear As to my judgement truly I desire to own that the Scriptures own I shall speak of that place in the Hebrews which is the command of Christ I desire the Churches and the people every one to live the life of faith and love one another I am confident it would be a means of abundance of comfort here in the Nation there is a kind of heart-burning and rising one against another you are so and so throw dirt one against the other it is our and your duty still to be studying to live in love and bear one with another not be angry destroy and fight one with another O that we might live that life of love that God had commanded then we may expect the presence of God to be with us surely God hath a great judgment against his own people for not loving one another Phillips Mr. Sheriff I have only one word to speak before I go to my Prayers that is Here I see some Gentlemen present that are in the capacity that I was in as a Soldier I say be faithful to your trust and beg of God that you may stand fast and not dishonour God nor be disobedient to the King when the Fifth-monarchy men were up I was free and willing to lay down my life for the interest of the Nation and did venture it as much as any young man in London Therefore good friends have a care I am now brought to suffer it is true I was guilty of concealing it I desire your Prayers that now as we are going to the state of eternity from whence there is no redemption I humbly beseech you as Christians friends That you would seek earnestly to God that now he may receive our souls into everlasting rest and happiness which he has been pleased to bestow on them that love him and fear him and the Lord knows my heart I speak it in his presence that had the King been pleased to shew mercy to me I should have been a faithful and true subject to him all my daies but seeing it is the righteous hand of God that now I am come to this untimely death I desire you to lift up your hearts and souls to God with me that when my soul shall leave this body that the Lord Jesus Christ may with his everlasting arms receive me to glory There is no redemption after death we shall either go to eternal woe or eternal happiness therefore good friends I desire you to look up to God that when my soul departs it may be received to glory Mr. Phillips his Prayer O Eternal Lord God thou that art the great Creator of Man-kind and thou that formedst him in the womb hear thy poor and sinful creature now he is coming to make his last approaches to thy throne O that thou wouldst be pleased to look down in mercy upon my Soul O Lord that thou wouldst be pleased now to take my soul and wash it and bathe it in the blood of Iesus Christ who hath died and risen again for me O that now I could see the heavens opened and Iesus Christ ready to receive my soul Be pleased O Lord to look upon me in thy tenâ—er mercie and compassion and as thou hast said thou dost not delight in the death of a sinner therefore good Lord look down upon my poor soul and receive me into the everlasting mansions which Iesus Christ is gone before to prepare for all them that love thee O Lord we are now going I hope to an estate of happiness where we shall sin and sorrow no more but where we shall ever reign with Iesus Christ. O Lord had we not some hopes had we not some sight of the Lord Iesus Christ made known to our souls we durst not appear before thee this day we durst not stand before thee in thy presence O that thou wouldest more and more manifest thy gracious presence with me that thou wouldst uphold me to take this bitter cup drink it freely O Lord I desire to come unto thee I have been a great sinner before thee but Iesus Christ has died is risen and is now at the right hand of his Father making intercession for us And good Lord as thou hast commanded us to come unto thee and to believe in thee and hast said thou wilt in no wise cast off the soul that comes unto thee in confidence of that hope I desire to fix my soul upon

thee before I go hence and be no more Bow down the heavens O Lord and hear the requests of the poor soul before thee and I beseech thee for Christ his sake as thou wouldst forgive me so freely forgive all men that have done evil against me Be pleased to let the Kings Majestie reign in righteousness and holiness put a spirit of power and might in his soul and let him see wherein the stability of his Crown lies in following Righteousness Iustice and Iudgement and preserving of that Truth that is made known to him out of the book of the Lord. Come down Lord to his Soul and let him see wherein is his hope and O that he may at last live and reign with Iesus Christ for evermore Good Lord look upon me I am coming unto thee these are my last words O that thou wouldst be pleased to receive us this day that we may dine with thee in Paradise make known thy everlasting kindness to my soul before I go hence and be no more that I may receive that comfort and satisfaction which I have longed and looked for Lord my hope is in thee thou wilt not fail them that put their trust in thee in thee is my trust and confidence if I perish I will perish at the feet of Iesus Christ. O that thou wouldst humble me and seal up the pardon of my sins before I go hence and let thy Son Iesus Christ manifest his gracious presence with me and cloath me with that wedding garment of his righteousness and then take me into his arms and present me to his Father O that thou wouldst be pleased to strengthen and uphold me under this great stroke which thou hast been pleased to inflict upon me I kiss the rod receive it thankefully from thy hand I had been undone to all eternity hadst thou not afflicted me blessed be thy Name that thou hast been pleased to send Iesus Christ upon him I depend upon him I cast my confidence who is the rock of ages and never failed any that came to him Hear me and answer me and do for me and all thy Churches people abundantly above what I can ask or think and all for the sake of the Lord Iesus Christ to whom with thy self and thy holy Spirit be all honour power and praise henceforth and for evermore Amen Mr. Tong his Prayer O Most glorious and eternal Lord God thou that hast created the heavens and the earth and formedst of dust us thy poor creatures to which we are now returning Lord I beseech thee speak peace to my poor soul lift up the light of thy countenance upon me and let me see in thee and through faith in thy dear Son Iesus Christ that I am in covenant with thee and reconciled to thee Holy Lord I beseech thee let me see thy dear Son Iesus Christ sitting at thy right hand reconciling of me to thy self Let me finde my soul washed in the blood of the Covenant of thy dear Son Iesus Christ. Seal a pardon to me thy poor creature O Lord one smile of thy countenance is worth all the world blessed be thy name that thou hast supported me hitherto Lord God I beseech thee finish thy good work thou hast begun in me and go along with me and strengthen and uphold me to drink of this bitter cup. Be with me to the end Remember the Governours of this Nation O that thou wouldst showr down upon the King and Council thy mercies as thou showrest down rain on the ground that they may rule for thee and those that fear thy name may live in happiness and peace under thee for the sake of thy dear Son Iesus Christ. O Lord we pray thee remember all thy People and be good to them and deliver them out of all their troubles and speak peace to them and let them know thou wilt deliver them Keep me to the end and uphold me by thy right hand and so receive me with joy for the sake of thy dear Son Iesus Christ to whom be all honour and power henceforward and for evermore Amen Mr. Gibbs his Prayer O Eternal everliving and everloving God who art a reconciled and loving Father unto thy poor unworthy Creatures before thee and unto all the children whom thou hast called to believe in thee O Lord this is no small priviledge that sinful dust and ashes mortal worms should have to do and to deal with so holy and infinite a God as thou art to make requests unto thee considering the vast disproportion that there is between thee and poor sinners Thou art of purer eyes then to behold any unclean thing in thy presence O Lord. We our selves are nothing but polluted rags and fountains of uncleanness from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot all the faculties of the soul and members of the body are all members of unrighteousness Were it not therefore that thou hast been pleased to give us good hopes and found out a way to hold communion with us which is through the Lord Jesus in whom thou art well pleased in whom thou hast spoke forgiveness of sins to our souls we durst not now stand before thee but thou hast promised that though our sins are as scarlet thou wilt make them as white as snow and though they be as crimson thou wilt make them as wool Thou hast opened a fountain of free-grace and eternal mercy for poor sinners that through the blood of the Lord Jesus they may receive remission forgiveness cleansing and purging from all their sins Thou hast laid an all-sufficient help upon him who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God by him We have nothing of our selves to bring unto God but sins to pardon and unclean souls to purge Thou hast been pleased to give thy Son and together with him freely to give us all things Thou hast given thy poor servant before thee faith that has brought salvation to his soul Thou hast saved him by thy free-grace not of works but through the mercies and blood of Jesus Christ and hast sprinkled the vertue of the blood of Christ in his conscience in the belief of the truth as it is in Jesus O blessed be thy Name that sent him to seek and to save us from condemnation who is risen with healing in his wings and hast set Christ before us that we should behold him that our sins have pierced Certainly great was that disease that needed such a medicine that nothing could expiate and take away our sins and blot out the hand-writing that was against us but the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without spot he is now become our peace who has made peace for us through the blood of that his Cross and has made twain one in himself Jew and Gentile He was delivered up for our offences and rose again for our justification We in the knowledge of him being justified by faith

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And blessed be thy Name O merciful God that has made such a Covenant of everlasting grace to poor sinners and the children that do believe in thee through Jesus Christ. Thou hast said thou wilt be merciful to all our iniquities and sins and wilt remember them no more These are thy promises and they are all Yea and Amen in Christ Jesus Thou hast made thy servant to hear thy voice in thy Son Thou hast been a merciful God to him and forgiven him all his sins and justified him freely through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall condemn us or lay any thing to our charge It is God that justifies who gave himself a ransom for our sins died for our sins is risen again and now sits at the right hand of God ever living and making intercession for us whose blood speaks better things then the blood of Abel His blood cryed for vengeance but the blood of Christ cries for peace and forgiveness God is in Christ reconciling himself unto the world not imputing their trespasses He hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him Blessed be thy Name that thou hast sent thy holy Childe Jesus to be the propitiation not onely for our sins but for the sins of the whole world He hath suffered the just for the unjust that he might bring us unto God O do thou therefore help thy poor servants before thee and all thy children Give us to see the removal of eternal death by the death of the Lord Jesus Let us see thee at peace with us and justifying of us through thy grace All have sinned and come short of thy glory but being justified through the redemption of Christ Jesus whom God hath let form to be a propitiation for the sins of the whole world Thou hast promised that whosoever believeth in the Lord Jesus Christ thy grace thy mercy thy love shall not perish but have everlasting life and thou hast given to thy poor servant exceeding great and precious promises and by thy own Spirit bringing home these premises given him to believe the Records thou hast given of thy Son which beareth witness That God is reconciled to him and well pleased with him in Christ Jesus and given him eternal life And seeing thou hast hid his soul in Jesus Christ when he shall appear then shall we appear with him in glory and be made like to our Lord Jesus Christ By the same power that thou raisest up Jesus Christ from the dead by the same power thou art able to subdue all things There is nothing impossible with God what ever thou hast promised shall be performed Heaven and Earth shall pass away but one title of thy word shall not fail And therefore blessed be thy Name that thou hast revealed these things to thy poor and unworthy Creature that thou art his God and Father that thou wilt never leave him nor forsake him and thou hast hid his life in Christ and wrote his name in the Book of Jesus Christ and he rejoyceth that he knows he is his who is the onely true God Knows thou art well pleased with him and justified him freely from all his sins accepted him in and through the Lord Jesus Christ.
