thus prepared him to heare hee went further putting him in mind of the Exceeding great danger hee was in and that although hee might recover as hee hoped hee should yet hee might also die and that since it was an inevitable and irrevocable necessity that All must once die late or soone Death being the reward of sinne hee asked if it should so fall out whether or no hee was well pleased to submit himselfe to the Will of God to which hee answered yea withall his heart Then the Archbishop went on demanding questions of his faith First of the Religion and Church wherein hee lived which his Highnesse acknowledged to bee the onely true Church wherein onely and without which there was no salvation Then of his faith in Christ onely by him and in him without any merits of his owne being assured of the Remission of all his sinnes which hee professed hee did hoping and trusting onely therein Then of the Resurrection of the body life everlasting and the joyes of Heaven All which hee confessed and beleeved hoping withall Saints to enjoy the same This conference with a great deals more the Archbishop had with him to this purpose which may also give unto you absolute satisfaction of his Soules health if thereunto his life bee considered After which fearing hee should too much disquiet him with many good exhortations hee tooke leave for that time This day being the fifth of November a day of everlasting remembrance and thanksgiving for our deliverance from the Powder Treason was order given every where unto all Churches to pray for his Highnesse untill when the great danger was unknowne to the Commons which was effectually as ever untill his death performed This day and at sundry other times since his confusion of speech hee would many times call upon Sir David Murray Knight the onely man in whom hee had put choise trust by his name David David David who when hee came unto his Highnesse demanding his pleasure in extremity of paine and stupefaction of senses confounding his speech sighing hee did reply I would say somewhat but I cannot utter it which forme hee still used so long as hee had any perfect sence or memory This done also but too late to assist the rest came Doctor Palmer and Doctor Gifford famous Phisitians for their honesty learning and Phisick who with the former foure went all six to a consultation what now remained finally to bee done wherein by some as they say was againe propounded the necessity of bleeding the oportunity whereof by the evacuation of his belly was now over passed In the end the Doctors long before this despairing of his recovery did at last agree upon Diascordium as the onely meanes under God now remaining which tempered with cooler Cordials was given him in the presence of many honourable Gentlemen about tenne a Clock at night the operation whereof was small or none neither all this while did nature of it selfe incline towards sweating and to force the same they thought it to no purpose This night was unquiet as the rest his accidents remaining in the same sort but now and then speaking but so confusedly that hee could not bee understood Among the rest this night about midnight Master Nasmith his Majesties Chirurgeon sitting on his bed side his Highnesse pulled him unto him by the hand speaking unto him somewhat but so confusedly by reason of the ratling of his Throat that hee could not bee understood which his Highnesse perceiving giving a most grievous sigh as it were in anger turned him from him thereafter unlesse hee were urged never speaking unto him or any In this extremity Sir David Murray who in this one death suffered many came unto him intreating him asking him that if hee had any thing to say which troubled him that hee would betimes make knowne his mind but his Spirits being overcome and nature weake hee was not able to say any thing save that of all other businesse hee gave order for the burning of a number of Letters in a certaine cabinet in his closet which presently after his death was done Not long after as I thinke on Friday morning about three a clock his backbove shoulders armes and tongue by reason of the horrible violence of the convulsions dis-joyntingly deviding themselves the effect shewing that the retentive power was gone the Spirits subdued the seat of reason overcome and nature spent in which extremity fainting and sounding hee seemed twice or thrice to bee quite gone at which time there arose wonderfull great shouting weeping and crying in the Chamber Court and adjoyning streets which was so great together with somewhat else which they used that they brought him againe This crie was so great that all those in the streets thought hee had beene dead whereupon it went for the most part currant in the City and Countrey that hee was gone I am not able to expresse the unspeakeable sorrow which every where was for this wofull newes chiefely in that dolefull house you may imagine no thought can thinke the greatnesse thereof nor understanding conceive the same this little which I have said overlading my weakenesse Thus given over of all into the hands of God did his Highnesse lie in extreame paine during which still now and then till two or three houres before his death looking up and speaking or endeavouring to speake which for confusion and extremity of paine being so neere gone could not bee understood all the World were ready in this despaire to bring cordiall waters Diaphoretick and Quintissentiall Spirits to be given unto him amongst which one in the afternoone was ministred which set that little nature remaining on worke forcing a small sweat which too late was the first hee had Sir Walter Raleigh also did send another from the Tower which whether or no to give him they did a while deliberate After the operation of the first his Highnesse rested quietly a little while presently after falling into his former extremities whereupon as the last desperate remedy with the leave and advise of the Lords of the Counsell there present the cordiall sent by Sir Walter Raleigh after it had beene tasted and proved was given unto him but in vaine save that forcing that sparke of life that remained it brought him againe into a sweat after which as before hee had some rest for a little while But no remedy death would needs bee Conquerour in vaine did they strive against the streame for hee shortly after became wonderfull ill againe sight and sence failing as also all the infallible signes of death approaching In which extremity the Archbishop of Canterbury being there present who seeing it was now the time of times before the last gaspe to minister some comfort unto his Highnesse if as yet there were any sence remaining came unto him first speaking aloud putting him in mind of all those things which hee had spokn unto him the day before in his perfect sense calling aloud in his eare to remember
