had perhaps it might set their Tongues and Pens on edge to speak and write as severe Truth as he did There are others who employ time which might be better spent in seeking or making Exceptions against this brave Man But I will leave them with Trinculo to mutiny by themselves I wish all of them had seen him and conversed with him in the time of his Confinement they then would rather have admired him than disparaged him a Man upon whom the Terrours of Death made no Impression no Man that came to him could ever discover any the least sign of fear or perturbation of Mind in him but found him always in the same sweet even temper excepting only in his Devotions and Exercises of Religion wherein he was very fervent and vehement as powring out all his Soul to his God To carp and cavil is no hard matter but to die is not so very easie and I hope I shall be thought to make no ill Wish if I wish that those who are so ready to censure may be able to make as brave and as Christian an End as this poor Man did who is persecuted both living and dead During the time that the Ordinary busied himself he was observed not to mind him but to imploy himself in his private Devotions and after the Delivery of his Speech to the Sheriffs his Cap pulled over his Eyes ready for Execution he prayed thus Most great and most merciful Lord God! do thou look down upon me thy poor unworthy Servant in this hour of my great extremity and have Mercy upon me Sweet Jesus receive my Soul into thine everlasting Kingdom for into thy hands do I commend my Spirit because thou hast redeemed it O Lord God of Truth Come Lord Jesus and receive my pretious Soul Father of Mercy have mercy upon me O God the Son Redeemer of the World have mercy upon me Lord comfort and support my Soul in these my last Minutes come sweet Jesus come quickly and save me sweet Jesus by thy most pretious Blood by thy Agony and bloody Sweat and by the coming of the Holy Ghost O Lord do thou deliver me Here the Ordinary put in saying you must give a sign when you are ready whereupon the Sheriffs charged him not to interrupt them and as he was proceeding his Sister desired to speak to him which was granted who kissing him and weeping over him said be of good comfort though there is no Pardon for you here yet there is above So when they had taken a Christian leave of each other he returned to his Devotions when after a short pathetical Prayer constantly calling upon his Saviour the Cart drove away His Body was conveyed to a House near till the dusk of the Evening and then brought to Town both for quietness sake and to prevent giving Offence but as privately as it was done that Blood-hound Stephens pursu'd him dead and was observed to walk several times by the House and to give notice to the Mob so that he who was designed to have been stollen to his Grave by a few Friends late in the night was follow'd by a very numerous Train but without any manner of Incivility and now lies interr'd in little S. Bartholomew's Church-yard expecting a joyful Resurrection and the coming of the righteous Judge before whom William and Mary Anderton and Treby shall appear without any other difference or respect than what their Sins or their Virtues shall make and from whom they shall receive according to what they have done in the flesh be it good or evil FINIS
