Scobel Cler. Parl. D Com. Imprimatur Theodore Iennings The severall speeches of Duke Hamilton Earl of Cambridge Henry Earl of Holland and Arthur Lord Capel Spoken upon the Scaffold immediately before their Execution on Friday the ninth of March 1649. I Think it is truly not very necessary for me to speak much there are many Gentlemen and Souldiers there that see me but my voice truely is so weake so low that they connot heare me neither truly was I ever at any time so much in love with speaking or with any thing I had to expresse that I tooke delight in it yet this being the last time that I am to doe so by a Divine Providence of Almighty God who hath brought me to this end justly for my sins I shall to you Sir Master Sheriffe declare thus much as to the matter that I am now to suffer for which is as being a Traytor to the Kingdome of England Truly Sir It was a Country that I equally loved with my owne I made no difference I never intended either the generality of its prejudice or any particular mans in it what I did was by the command of the Parliament of the Country where I was borne whose command I could not disobey without running into the same hazard there of that condition that I now am in It pleased God so to dispose that Army under my command as it was ruined and I as their Generall cloathed with a commission stand here now ready to dye I shall not trouble you with repeating of my plea what I said in my owne Defence at the Court of JVSTICE my selfe being satisfied with the commands that is laid upon me and they satisfied with the justness of their Procedure according to the Laws of this Land God is just and howsoever I shall not say any thing as to the matter of the sentence but that I doe willingly submit to his Divine Providence and acknowledge that very many wayes I deserve even a worldly punishment as well as hereafter for we are all sinfull Sir and I a great one yet for my comfort I know there is a God in Heaven that is exceeding mercifull I know my Redeemer fits at his right hand and am confident clapping his hand on his breast is mediating for me at this instant I am hopefull through his free grace and all-sufficient merits to be pardoned of my sins and to be received into his mercy upon that I rely trusting to nothing but the free grace of God through Jesus Christ I have not been tainted in my Religion I thank God for it since my Infancy it hath been such as hath been profest in the Land and established and now it is not this Religion or that Religion nor this or that fancie of men that is to be built upon it is but one that 's right one that 's sure and that comes from God Sir and in the free grace of our Saviour Sir there is truly somewhat that he then observing the Writers said had I thought my speech would have been thus taken I would have digested it into some better method then now I can and shall desire these Gentlemen that doe write it that they will not wrong me in it and that it may not in this manner be published to my disadvantage for truly I did not intend to have spoken thus when I came here There are Sirs terrible aspersions that has been laid upon my self truly such as I thank God I am very free from as if my actions and intentions had not been such as they were pretended for but that notwithstanding what I pretended it was for the King there was nothing lesse intended then to serve him in it I was bred with him for many years I was his domestique servant and there was nothing declar'd by the Parliament that was not really intended by me and truly in it I ventured my life one way and now I lose it another way and that was one of the ends as to the King I speake onely of that because the rest has many particulars and to clear my self from so horrid an aspersion as is laid upon me neither was there any other designe known to me by the in coming of that Army then what is really in the Declaration published His person I doe professe I had reason to love as he was my King and as he had been my Master It hath pleased God now to dispose of him so as it cannot be thought flattery to have said this or any end in me for the saying of it but to free my self from that Calumny which lay upon me I cannot gain by it yet Truth is that which we shall gaine by for ever There hath been much spoken Sir of an invitation into this Kingdome it 's mentioned in that Declaration and truly to that I did and doe remit my self and I have been very much laboured for discoveries
