reflection_n on_o the_o paper_n deliver_v by_o mr._n charnock_n mr._n king_n and_o mr._n key_n to_o the_o sheriff_n on_o the_o day_n of_o their_o execution_n mr._n chernock'_v paper_n that_o i_o may_v

than_o to_o give_v myself_o the_o uneasiness_n of_o speak_v leave_v it_o to_o they_o to_o publish_v if_o they_o shall_v think_v convenient_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o

intend_v by_o king_n james_n upon_o england_n and_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a intelligence_n of_o it_o from_o abroad_o i_o presume_v every_o body_n be_v satisfy_v and_o to_o the_o facilitate_v of_o which_o i_o own_o that_o myself_o and_o some_o other_o do_v agree_v upon_o the_o undertake_n to_o attack_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o his_o guard_n for_o which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o

james_n for_n assassinate_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n i_o neither_o see_v nor_o know_v of_o any_o but_o have_v have_v frequent_a assurance_n of_o his_o have_v reject_v such_o proposal_n when_o

such_o a_o readiness_n to_o come_v over_o as_o be_v report_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o authority_n as_o that_o i_o declare_v i_o never_o see_v it_o as_o to_o what_o regard_v the_o body_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n i_o must_v do_v they_o this_o justice_n and_o which_o i_o dare_v be_v positive_a in_o that_o they_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o knowledge_n of_o this_o design_n nor_o do_v

but_o since_o the_o observation_n that_o do_v natural_o occur_v from_o the_o read_n these_o paper_n lie_v heavy_a on_o the_o cause_n and_o party_n and_o their_o religion_n and_o principle_n than_o on_o the_o person_n of_o these_o unhappy_a man_n i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o charity_n to_o the_o public_a to_o help_v all_o reader_n to_o re-examine_a they_o with_o due_a attention_n and_o to_o make_v these_o remark_n on_o they_o which_o be_v so_o just_a and_o obvious_a that_o even_o those_o who_o may_v read_v they_o too_o hasty_o and_o with_o too_o much_o partiality_n to_o observe_v they_o at_o first_o will_v be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v on_o a_o second_o read_v they_o be_v native_a and_o genuine_a without_o put_v any_o force_n or_o strain_n on_o they_o 1._o mr._n charnock_n and_o mr._n king_n do_v both_o confess_v the_o fact_n and_o so_o they_o have_v establish_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o witness_n but_o with_o remarkable_a difference_n that_o mr._n king_n own_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o wickedness_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o just_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o his_o punishment_n for_o that_o crime_n in_o particular_a and_o so_o desire_v to_o find_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o mr._n charnock_n seem_v not_o to_o think_v so_o hardly_o of_o his_o share_n in_o that_o design_n he_o mention_n it_o without_o any_o word_n condemn_v it_o or_o import_v that_o he_o have_v repent_v of_o it_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o think_v it_o be_v not_o sin_n it_o be_v as_o plain_a that_o his_o confessor_n think_v so_o too_o for_o as_o no_o man_n who_o know_v the_o principle_n of_o that_o religion_n will_v believe_v that_o he_o will_v die_v without_o absolution_n so_o no_o priest_n who_o think_v it_o a_o mortal_a sin_n can_v give_v he_o absolution_n without_o oblige_v he_o to_o confess_v the_o gild_n as_o well_o as_o the_o fact_n and_o since_o he_o have_v not_o do_v that_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o his_o priest_n think_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o so_o think_v he_o oblige_v to_o make_v no_o other_o confession_n but_o what_o may_v cover_v the_o party_n key_n say_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o matter_n but_o a_o criminal_a who_o die_v without_o deny_v that_o for_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v be_v presume_v to_o confess_v it_o 2._o both_o mr._n charnock_n and_o mr._n king_n deny_v that_o they_o see_v or_o know_v of_o any_o order_n or_o commission_n of_o king_n james_n for_o the_o assassination_n mr._n charnock_n add_v that_o he_o have_v have_v frequent_a assurance_n of_o his_o have_v reject_v such_o proposal_n when_o they_o have_v be_v offer_v it_o be_v no_o great_a honour_n to_o a_o prince_n that_o any_o dare_v make_v such_o proposal_n to_o he_o we_o have_v a_o king_n who_o will_v treat_v any_o that_o shall_v

thing_n be_v like_v though_o the_o method_n may_v not_o be_v approve_v of_o or_o the_o time_n not_o think_v proper_a to_o be_v often_o so_o licit_v be_v no_o character_n of_o a_o severe_a virtue_n but_o what_o be_v here_o deny_v a_o order_n or_o commission_n for_o assassination_n this_o be_v never_o affirm_v nor_o so_o much_o as_o suspect_v the_o word_n assassination_n be_v too_o hard_a to_o be_v put_v in_o any_o prince_n order_n or_o commission_n but_o a_o commission_n to_o attack_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n as_o he_o call_v he_o in_o his_o winter_n quarter_n or_o to_o seize_v his_o person_n and_o to_o fight_v his_o guard_n or_o to_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o person_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n in_o england_n by_o all_o way_n and_o mean_n after_o which_o manner_n we_o be_v tell_v the_o witnessess_v express_v themselves_o this_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o mr._n charnock_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v that_o it_o be_v confess_v by_o he_o and_o the_o denial_n of_o this_o will_v have_v agree_v better_o with_o the_o word_n that_o go_v before_o in_o which_o he_o own_v the_o undertake_n to_o attack_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o his_o guard_n now_o the_o natural_a close_o of_o this_o period_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v if_o it_o have_v consist_v with_o truth_n that_o he_o neither_o see_v nor_o know_v of_o any_o order_n or_o commission_n from_o king_n james_n for_o that_o undertake_n but_o he_o change_v the_o word_n and_o put_v assassinate_v instead_o of_o it_o it_o be_v plain_a mr._n charnock_n and_o mr._n king_n both_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o clear_a king_n james_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v but_o though_o their_o confessor_n may_v bring_v they_o to_o prevaricate_v and_o to_o use_v art_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o their_o last_o word_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o die_v with_o a_o plain_a lie_n in_o their_o mouth_n a_o commission_n to_o attack_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v what_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o deposition_n that_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v confess_v but_o though_o the_o undertake_n to_o attack_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o his_o guard_n be_v not_o in_o express_a word_n a_o commission_n to_o assassinate_n he_o yet_o it_o be_v suspect_v of_o any_o man_n weakness_n too_o much_o to_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o both_o in_o effect_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n when_o the_o evidence_n be_v make_v public_a it_o will_v then_o appear_v what_o the_o deposition_n be_v and_o whether_o the_o protestation_n that_o be_v make_v in_o these_o paper_n do_v contradict_v they_o or_o not_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n here_o be_v a_o poor_a pretence_n for_o the_o party_n to_o give_v out_o that_o the_o offender_n die_v clear_v king_n james_n of_o any_o order_n or_o accession_n to_o this_o matter_n they_o do_v indeed_o deny_v a_o order_n for_o a_o assassination_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o deposition_n but_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v a_o commission_n for_o attacking_z his_o person_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o they_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v all_o they_o can_v say_v but_o dare_v not_o say_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o wipe_v off_o so_o black_a a_o imputation_n 3._o mr._n charnock_n confess_v that_o he_o hear_v of_o a_o commission_n for_o levy_v of_o war_n though_o he_o declare_v he_o never_o see_v it_o in_o which_o he_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o evidence_n but_o he_o study_v to_o represent_v this_o as_o consist_v with_o the_o design_n of_o king_n james_n come_v over_o and_o as_o of_o a_o piece_n with_o it_o he_o do_v not_o explain_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o commission_n nor_o contradict_v the_o evidence_n that_o be_v give_v against_o himself_o in_o this_o particular_a the_o artifice_n here_o be_v a_o little_a too_o gross_a not_o to_o be_v easy_o observe_v he_o have_v already_o answer_v for_o it_o and_o i_o will_v urge_v it_o no_o more_o 4._o it_o may_v be_v easy_o imagine_v that_o some_o person_n be_v careful_a enough_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o justify_v the_o whole_a party_n but_o more_o particular_o the_o roman_a catholic_n and_o to_o purge_v they_o of_o any_o knowledge_n of_o this_o design_n or_o accession_n to_o it_o no_o body_n can_v imagine_v a_o design_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v talk_v of_o about_o the_o town_n or_o to_o be_v communicate_v to_o more_o than_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v in_o some_o manner_n concern_v in_o it_o but_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o party_n have_v it_o among_o they_o that_o a_o overturning_a of_o the_o present_a constitution_n be_v very_o near_o and_o very_o certain_a of_o this_o so_o many_o indication_n break_v out_o deliver_v with_o such_o a_o air_n of_o assurance_n and_o in_o so_o

seem_v to_o be_v somewhat_o on_o this_o occasion_n that_o show_v they_o depend_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v more_o infallible_a than_o a_o invasion_n for_o that_o be_v to_o turn_v on_o two_o such_o
