MDCXL VIII IX Of His MAJESTIE's discourse to His Children there being several Relations it is thought fit to represent the several Copies I. A true Relation of the King's Speech to the Lady ELIZABETH and the Duke of GLOUCESTER the day before His Death HIS Children being come to meet Him He first gave His Blessing to the Lady Elizabeth and bade Her Remember to ●ell Her Brother James whenever She should see Him that it was his Fathers last ●●sire that he should no more look upon Charles as his Eldest Brother only but be obedient unto Him as his Sovereign And that they should love one another and forgive their Fathers Enemies Then said the King to Her Sweet Heart you will forget this No said She I shall never forget it whilst I live and pouring forth abundance of tears promised Him to write down the particulars Then the King taking the Duke of Gloucester upon His Knee said Sweet Heart now they will cut off thy Fathers Head upon which words the Child looked very stedfastly on Him Mark Child what I say They will cut off My Head and perhaps make thee a King But mark what I say You must not be a King so long as your Brothers CHARLES and JAMES do live for they will cut off your Brothers Heads when they can catch them and cut off thy Head too at last and therefore I charge you do not be made a King by them At which the Child sighing said I will be torn in pieces first Which falling so unexpectedly from one so young it made the King rejoyce exceedingly II. Another Relation from the Lady ELIZABETHS own Hand WHat the King said to me the 29. of Jan. 1648. being the last time I had the Happiness to see Him He told me He was glad I was come and although He had not time to say much yet somewhat He had to say to Me which He had not to another or leave in writing because He feared their Cruelty was such as that they would not have permitted Him to write to me He wished me not to grieve and torment my self for Him for that would be a glorious Death that He should die it being for the Laws and Liberties of this Land and for maintaining the true Protestant Religion He bid me read Bishop Andrewes Sermons Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity and Bishop Laud's Book against Fisher which would ground me against Popery He told me He had forgiven all his Enemies and hoped God would forgive them also and commanded us and all the rest of my Brothers and Sisters to forgive them He bid me tell my Mother that His thoughts had never strayed from Her and that His Love should be the same to the last Withal He commanded me and my Brother to be obedient to Her and bid me send His Blessing to the rest of my Brothers and Sisters with commendation to all His Friends So after He had given me his Blessing I took my leave Further He commanded us all to forgive those People but never to trust them for they had been most false to Him and to those that gave them Power and He feared also to their own Souls And desired me not to grieve for Him for He should die a Martyr and that He doubted not but the Lord would settle His Throne upon His Son and that we should be all happier than we could have expected to have been if he had lived With many other things which at present I cannot remember ELIZABETH III. Another Relation from the Lady ELIZABETH THE King said to the Duke of Glocester that He would say nothing to him but what was for the good of his Soul He told him that He heard the Army intended to make him King but it was a thing not for him to take upon him if he regarded the welfare of his Soul for he had two Brothers before him and therefore commanded him upon his Blessing never to accept of it unless it redounded lawfully upon him and commanded him to fear the Lord and he would provide for him LIX His MAJESTIE's Speech upon the Scaffold before White-Hall with the Manner of His Martyrdom Jan. 30.

Carew Miles Corbet Tuesday the thirtieth of January the Fatal Day being come the Commissioners met and ordered four or five of their Ministers to attend upon the King at James's where they then kept Him but his Majesty well knowing what miserable comforters they were like to prove refused to have conference with them That Morning before his Majesty was brought thence the Bishop of London who with much ado was permitted to wait upon Him a day or two before and to assist Him in that sad instant read Divine Service in his presence in which the 27th of Saint Matthew the History of our Saviour's Crucifixion proved the second Lesson The King supposing it to have been selected on purpose thank'd him afterwards for his seasonable choice But the Bishop modestly declining that undue thanks told him that it was the Lesson appointed by the Calendar for that day He also then and there received of the Bishop the holy Sacrament and performed all His Devotions in preparation to His Passion Which ended about ten of the clock His Majesty was brought from Saint James's to White-Hall by a Regiment of Foot with Colours flying and Drums beating part marching before and part behind with a private guard of Partisans about Him the Bishop on the the one hand and Colonel Tomlinson who had the charge of Him on the other both bare-headed His Majesty walking very fast and bidding them go faster added That He now went before them to strive for an Heavenly Crown with less solicitude than He had often incouraged His Souldiers to fight for an Earthly Diadem Being come to the end of the Park He went up the Stairs leading to the long Gallery in White-Hall and so into the Cabinet Chamber where He used formerly to lodge There finding an unexpected delay in being brought upon the Scaffold which they had not as then fitted He past the time at convenient distances in Prayer About twelve of the clock His Majesty refusing to dine only eat a bit of Bread and drank a Glass of Claret and about an hour after Colonel Hacker with other Officers and Souldiers brought Him with the Bishop and Colonel Tomlinson through the Banqueting-house to the Scaffold to which the passage was made through a Window Divers Companies of Foot and Troups of Horse were placed on each side of the Street which hindred the approach of the very numerous Spectators and the King from speaking what He had premeditated and prepared for them to hear Whereupon His Majesty finding Himself disappointed omitted much of His intended matter and for what He meant to speak directed Himself chiefly to Colonel Tomlinson I Shall be very little heard of any body here I shall therefore speak a word unto you here Indeed I could hold My peace very well if I did not think that holding My peace would make some men think that I did submit to the Guilt as well as to the Punishment But I think it is My Duty to God first and to My Country for to clear My self both as an honest Man and a good King and a good Christian I shall begin first with My Innocency In troth I think it not very needful for Me to insist long upon this for all the World knows that I never did begin a War first with the two Houses of Parliament and I call God to witness to whom I must shortly make an account that I never did intend for to incroach upon their Privileges they began upon Me it is the Militia they began upon they confest that the Militia was Mine but they thought it fit for to have it from Me. And to be short if any body will look to the Dates of Commissions of their Commissions and Mine and likewise to the Declarations they will see clearly that they began these unhappy Troubles not I. So that as to the guilt of these enormous Crimes that are laid against Me I hope in God that God will clear Me of it I will not I am in Charity God forbid that I should lay it on the two Houses of Parliament there is no necessity of either I hope they are free of this Guilt For I do believe that ill Instruments between them and Me have been the chief cause of all this blood-shed So that by way of speaking as I find my self clear of this I hope and pray God that they may too Yet for all this God forbid that I should be so ill a Christian as not to say that God's Judgments are just upon Me many times he does pay Justice by an unjust Sentence that is ordinary I will only say this That an unjust Sentence that I suffered for to take effect is punished now by an unjust Sentence upon Me. That is So far I have said to shew you that I am an innocent man Now for to shew you that I am a good Christian I hope there is a good man that will bear Me witness that I have forgiven all the World and even those in particular that have been the chief causers of My Death Who they are God knows I do not desire to know I pray God forgive them But this is not all My Charity must go further I
