of Glorious Memory fell under I pray god forgive my Enemies as I freely do those that Accused me those that witnessed against me and all others that either desired my Blood or rejoyce at the shedding of it and all Persons that have any ways concern'd themselves with me I freely forgive them with all my Soul and beg my dear Jesus to forgive them and all others God Almighty bless you and bless the whole Nation and the Government and preserve it from all Evil and Mischief that I am afraid is coming on it for the shedding of Innocent Blood Sweet Jesus lay not my Innocent Blood to their Charge I shall say no more now Publickly Asked the Executioner Whether the Rope was right or no He said Yes and he asked him Whether he did forgive him To which Mr. Langhorne said I freely do I shall now recommend my self to God in Private S. You may have liberty The Writer The Lord have Mercy on your Soul L. The Lord in Heaven Reward your Charity Crost himself pray'd again Blessed Jesus into thy Hands I recommend my Soul and Spirit now at this instant take me into Paradice I am desirous to be with my Jesus I am ready and you need stay no longer for me Concerning Sr. George Wakeman Mr. Corker Mr Marsh alias Marshal and Mr. Rumley THese were Tryed at the Old Bayley on the 18. of July against whom Dugdale first appearing repeats his former Story of his knowing long ago somthing of the Plot but more particularly about two years since That the Killing of the King and Duke of Monmouth was told him by the Priests and my L'd. Stafford That Hartcourts Letters besides others were ever directed to him frought with the Business of the Plot That he open'd many of them privately and that he kept those he could not handsomly Seal again which Reader infinitly amaz'd the Auditory as not being able to imagin why if he were such a Privado he should play such Tricks with his Fellows and especially when there was no design or Advantage in it for he had not one of them to produce as the Prisoners urg'd Nor could any body comprehend how the Conspirators themselves should have Letters of such Concern intercepted and not be presently in an Uproar Then he said that Sr. James Symons Mr. Howard Mr. Gerard and Mr. Adderley were to be Officers in the Army which was to be rais'd That he saw St. Omer Acquittances of July last of the Payment of the money for this Affair That in a Letter directed to him there was also caution given That no Rumor should be of Armes or any thing else till the King were dispatch'd but he could not now recollect either who wrot it or its Date or from whence it came and yet 't was brought by the Common Post all which seem'd very strange to the Court nor did the Prisoners besides the other mad Assertions fail often to insist upon this Letter so that Dugdal being perplex'd Confounded was forc'd to run to another forsooth brought by a particular Messenger and Communicated also to my Lord Aston which at last prov'd as wild and odd as the former for it came he said from Paris and from Sr. John Warner as he thinks promising them not only all Assistance but advising them also to lay the Kings murther on the King-killing Presbiterians which would make the Church of England joyn with the Papists to cut them off and that my Lord Stafford Bellasis and Arundel did approve of this Advice by setting their very Hands to it which Reader was incredible Moreover he affirmed besides the notice of Sr. E. Godfreys Death as before That my Lord Stafford who came down about July last offer'd him 500 l. as a present Encouragement for Killing the King and to be received at his Arrival at London in October That they had all a great Confidence in him for he had bin free of his Purse in giving the Priests 400 l. secur'd upon Lands and 100 l. more on promise a passage Mr. Corker made sport with as thinking it very pleasant and prety for him to give 500 l. with one hand for the promotion of the Cause and then for Encouragement to receive as much with the other Nor had D●gdal any better Reply ready than that my Lord Stafford he supposes knew not of the money given before by him which was far from answering the Difficulty why such a Zealot as he should have Encouragement for his bare personal help even out of the present publick Stock especially when he confesses the Contributions were so backward that Mr. Peter ' s complain'd to him of it But the Evidence that made the most Mirth both then and since was Mr. Whites Letter sent by the Common Post as he also mentions in the former Tryal to command Mr. Evers in express Terms To Choose hardy persons to kill the King for the Expedient in case Letters did miscarry which made not a few Laugh outright was That he the said Dugdal should be the only Person hang'd the Jesuits having as he assures the Court so devised it That they never subscib'd but two Letters of their names and the packet being directed to him he was upon all accidents to deny it and to observe the Secrecy which they had at least ten times sworn him to and then they could not be discover'd he said but must go free seeing all was flung upon him This Evidence being thus without either Head or Taile Rhyme or Reason the King's Counsel told the Prisoners that it was not to affect any in particular but to prove the Plot in general whereupon Sr. G. Wakeman readily answered That it was the worst made out that ever any thing was he believes ●rance therfore being next repeats also his old Tale and among the particulars of my Lord Arundel's Butler's acquainting him That the King was to be killed by Mr. Messenger and then Mr. Messenger's Answering him afterwards in surprize when he found ●rance knew it That they were now off the Business and then he adds as new That Mr. Paston told him that Sr. Henry Benningfield Mr. Stoner and Mr. Talbot of Long-ford had Commissions to to raise an Army which was to be Govern'd by the Ld's Bellasis Powis and Peters as G●ove assur'd him whilst he was buying silver Spoons of him for a Christning Then stood up a new Witness to wit Mr. Robert Jennison who said That Mr. Ireland told him in June 78 his sister Anne Ireland being by that there was hope of the Restauration of their Religion that only one stood in the Gap and that it was easie to poyson the King That he the said Witness call'd it a horrid Action That Mrs Ireland did rebuke her Brother for talking so who answered That he thought it ought not to be done That Mr. Jennison reply'd that Violence would never do the thing it being a Scandal
