Glory and Majesty and of his Justice that when for one Sin he threw down the Angels those Glorious Spirits into Hell and he would take no Ransom or Redemption for them and though he hath Mercy on the Sons of Men according to his own Election or Purpose and according to that that he hath Purchased for himself in Christ Jesus before the Foundation of the World was laid yet in Time he made his Son a Sacrifice before Men and Angels to bring his Chosen Ones to Glory That he should take Pleasure to send his own Son out of his Bosom who was the Delight of his Soul and Bruise him for our Sins yet it pleased the Father to Bruise him The most Holy and Righteous God that had but One Son One only Begotten Son that was the Delight of his Soul and should take Pleasure to Bruise him that we might be Healed and laid Stripes upon him that we might be Healed Oh the Heighth and Depth Oh the Length and Breadth of the Love of God in Christ Jesus unto poor Souls Oh this is that the Angels do desire to stoop down and look into and to know more of this great Mystery of the Love of God in Christ and that God should take upon him the Nature of Man And put him into that Glorious Union with his own Son and that he should leave the Angels though Christ was made a a little lower than they for Suffering Death for us Yet now because the Nature of Man is united to the Godhead by Vertue of that Marriage and Union we become the Sons of God and Heirs of Glory Those that are Adopted by Jesus Christ are brought near to the Throne of Glory are in a High and Glorious Communion and Fellowship with the Father and Spirit owned of all the Holy Angels and therefore they do stand without the Throne as in several Places of the Revelations and round about the Elders and round those that were given to the Lamb as in the Fifth of the Revelations and many other Scriptures they stand without but there is another Company within which is the Twenty-four Elders and Four Living Creatures they fall down and worship God they are nearer than the Angels Oh! Who hath Credited who hath Believed this Report And to whom is the Arm of the Lord Revealed Oh! How many Professors are there in this Day in this Nation that call upon the Name of Christ and that say they shall be Saved by Christ and do Live and Trust most in their own Works and Righteousness and never come to the Knowledge and Understanding of this great Mystery of the Love of God in Christ Who never received those Teachings from the Anointing and according to the New Covenant where it is promised that they shall be all Taught of God all the Children of God shall be Taught of him and there is no one can Teach these but the Father none can draw them to the Son but the Father and no Man can come to the Father but through the Son And this great Mystery is both by the Light and Operation of the Holy Spirit who makes the New Creature in the Soul O that God would pour out of his Holy Spirit that God would pour out the Spirit of the New Covenant and the Spirit of the Gospel and the Spirit that can declare the Mystery of God's Word in the Spirit and that he hath made Manifest through Jesus Christ O there is much talking and speaking in the Name of Christ And how many Men spend little Time in getting Evidences in the Power and Demonstration of the Spirit and come to apprehend God in Christ that speak of him Oh! There are few of these the Lord knows O that the Anointing may be poured out more now according to this Faith in the Way of this Grace and in this Love of God even in the Electing Love of the Father and in the Redeeming Blood of Jesus Christ according to the purchased Possession that he hath obtained through his own Righteousness wherein God hath been Just also in justifying the Ungodly and among them such a poor simple Piece of Dust and Ashes as I have been and have to this Day little glorified my Father and yet I can call him Father through some Measure of his Spirit and Father according to the Spirit of Adoption too and can say the Lord Jesus hath given himself for me and I take the Lord Jesus Christ as the great Gift of the Father desiring to bear Witness of that Love and of that wonderful Grace and Glory that he hath made me Partaker of in and through him Oh! Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath called me to this Hope and who hath made me Partaker of this Glory that the Saints are Enlightened in And now I long to see the Face of this Father and of his Son though I have such a Number of Sins in me and though I have an Interest in him and can call him Father at any Time without doubt and in full Assurance of Faith in the Holy Spirit yet if Jesus Christ were not there to present me Faultless before the Presence of God I should be afraid to appear before him but he is able to do it and therefore saith the Apostle Now unto him that is able to Save you and to present you Faultless before the Presence of his Glory with exceeding Joy c. I am a poor Sinful Piece full of Iniquity laden with many Burdens that have a Body of Death that I carry about me and I am now about to lay it down and my Soul shall enter into Eternal Life and be made Perfect in a Moment through the Mighty Power of God that hath wrought that Glorious Work of raising Christ from the Dead Oh! All my Strength and all my Joy and all my Life is in Christ and in him alone And I have a Righteousness already of his Working according to his own Grace and according to his own Mighty Power and according to his own Mercy that he hath been pleased to Work in me and so hath been pleased to keep me in a very Wicked and in a very Evil Day by the Power of his Grace And I desire to glorifie my Father and many Years have I been in that Work that hath been of late in this Nation few and evil hath been the Days of my Pilgrimage but I have desired to serve the Lord with Faithfulness and in the Integrity of my Soul without Prejudice against any Creature and it hath been the Desire of my Soul to approve my self Faithful towards God and towards Man And what I have done I have done it in Obedience to the Lord that I had in my Eye and in my Heart There are many Things laid upon many of those that profess the Kingdom and Glorious Appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ as if they were Enemies to Magistracy and Ministry and as if so be we were for the

Destruction of the Laws and Properties of Mankind therefore I shall speak a few Words unto that And if indeed we were such we were fit to be turned out of the World as some Men think they should do God good Service in sending such poor Creatures quickly from hence There is no such thing I desire to bear Witnesses to the true MAGISTRACY that MAGISTRACY that is in the Word of the Lord And that true Ministry which Ministry is a Ministry from the Anointing that doth bear Witness to the Lord Jesus and hath his Holy Spirit That Testimony I desire to bear and that Testimony I desire to stand faithful in with Integrity to the Lord Jesus as King of Saints and King of Nations And therefore it is I say to have a Magistracy as at the first and Counsellors as at the beginning Men fearing God and hating Covetousness and that Ministry as doth Preach the Everlasting Gospel Here Mr. Sheriff interrupted him saying 'T is desired that you spend the rest of your Time in preparing your self Another said You spend your self Sir in this Discourse Another said It Rains Then Mr. Carew said I will pray Mr. Carew his Prayer O Most Holy and most Glorious and Blessed God the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of all Glory the God of the Spirits of all Flesh unto thee unto thee doth my Soul desire to come through the New and Living Way even through Christ my Righteousness and in him and through him to he offered up by the Eternal Spirit a Living and Acceptable Sacrifice in which thy Soul delighteth O Lord thou knowest my Frame and thou knowest my Life and what a Passage this is and what a wonderful Thing it is to enter into Glory and what a wonderful Thing it is to stand before thee and to stand in thy Presence O Father Father let my Soul be filled with thy Joy and with Peace in Believing O let my Heart be in Heaven while my Body is here and O let me be joined unto the Lord through thine own Spirit before this Separation be O Lord thou only art able to take hold of my Heart and Spirit poor Creatures may speak Words to thee but Oh! It is thine own Power and it is thine own Spirit that must take hold of the Heart it is thine own Spirit that must carry through all and it hath been thy Spirit Blessed be thy Name that hath carried me through many Trials and many Temptations and many Difficulties that thy poor Worm hath met with in this Pilgrimage for many Years O Blessed be thy Name for all the Goodness and for all thy Grace and for all thy Presence that hath been with thy poor Creature far and near Oh! Blessed be thy Name that thou hast kept me in any Measure Faithful unto thee and made me willing to lay down my Life for thy Righteous Work and Cause O Lord Bless Bless thy poor People O Comfort them in this Day Pour out Sevenfold of thy Spirit for what thou dost take away in any of thy Servants for thy Holy Name 's sake O let the Cause and Kingdom of Christ be Dear and Precious in thy Sight and Live always Lord little do these poor Creatures know or these Nations know what a Controversie thou hast with them O that thou wouldest be pleased Graciously to spare this People spare thy People however And let them that love Zion and favour thy Righteous Cause be glad for Ever and Ever O now Father be Dear to me do thou receive my Spirits take me into thine own Glory take me into thine own Glory let me know it is my Portion let me know there is a Crown in the Hand of Christ prepared for my Soul O Blessed Lord thou hast honoured thy poor Creature and brought him hitherto O reward all the Labours of Love in any to him in Bonds or Death and give them a double Reward into their own Bosoms Reward it so to them and theirs Blessed be thy Name that thou hast brought thy poor one hither to suffer in thy Cause And O Lord let thy Spirit be poured forth upon the Nations until the whole Earth be filled with the Knowledge of thy Glory And that Christ Jesus may have all the Honour and Praise and Glory and Dominion for Ever and Ever Amen I am so exceeding Dry that my Tongue is ready to stick to my Mouth but I would fain speak a little more Oh Blessed be God! Oh! How many are the Refreshments I have had from the Presence of my God and Father sweet and secret Communion betwixt him and my Soul to Day And for that my Soul hath seen of his Riches and Kindness O that I might be more like Christ For I have been very unlike to Jesus Christ very unlike to my Father But I shall leave all that is unlike Christ behind and all his own Workmanship he will purifie and perfect through this Passage into Glory O my Dear Father receive my Soul O make this Passage sweet for now I am coming to thee Lord help Lord spirit me fill me with thy Spirit let me be ever with thee let me know what it is to have thee at my Right Hand that I may not be moved that in my Soul going out of the Flesh I may be let into the Presence of God and into the Arm of Jesus Christ Oh! That my Soul may be breathed forth into the Arms of God into the Bosom of Jesus Christ through the Anointing of the Spirit A Friend that stood by said It is expected you should speak something to the Matter of your Suffering the Under-Sheriff said 'T is not to be suffered What are you that you put on Men to speak What are you Sir Mr. Carew said Farewel my Dear Friends Farewel the Lord keep you Faithful The Friend said We part with you with much Joy in our Souls Mr. Carew said to the Executioner Stay a while I will speak one Word and then said very solemnly and with a Loud Voice Lord Jesus receive my Soul Lord Jesus into thy Arms I commend my Spirit and so fell asleep His Majesty was pleas'd upon Intercession of his Friends to give his Body to be Buried OBSERVATIONS THE Scene is no sooner prepared and Harison's Part acted but Carew enters a Man that suck'd in Treason with his First Milk one of the Main Props on which Fanatick Fury Built herself a Fantastick Fabrick one whose Name like that of Felton and Ravillack shall stand stigmatiz'd to Eternity for Treason Inhumane Treason against a Gracious Prince Magistracy and Ministry the Two Eyes of this Land which like Two Diamonds in the Crown give a Lustre to Majesty by a pretended Zeal were almost dazled and hourly threatned to be quite put out whilst Gain was his greatest Godliness 1. He impudently affirms that it was in the Fear of the Lord he Condemned the Lord's Vicegerent pretends at the First to be excused from being a Member

and every one may fear the Lord that they may consider their latter End and so it may be well with them And even for the worst of those that have been most malicious against me from my Soul I would forgive them all so far as any Thing concerns me and so far as it concerns the Cause and Glory of God I leave it for him to plead and as for the Cause of God I am willing to justifie it by my Sufferings according to the good Pleasure of his Will I have been this Morning before I came hither so hurried up and down Stairs the meaning whereof I knew not that my Spirits are almost spent therefore you may not expect much from me Oh the greatness of the Love of God to such a Poor Vile and Nothing-creature as I am What am I that Jesus Christ should shed his Heart's-Blood for me that I might be Happy to all Eternity that I might be made a Son of God and an Heir of Heaven O that Christ should undergo so great Sufferings and Reproaches for me and should not I be willing to lay down my Life and suffer Reproaches for him that hath so loved me Blessed be the Name of God that I have a Life to lose upon so Glorious and so Honourable an Account Then praying to himself with Tears and having ended the Hangman pull'd down his Cap but he thrust it up again saying I have one Word more to the Lord's People that desire to serve him with an upright Heart Let them not think hardly of any of the good Ways of God for all this for I have been near this Seven Years a Suffering Person and have found the Way of God to be a perfect Way his Word a tried Word a Buckler to them that trust in him and will make known his Glorious Arm in the sight of all Nations And though we may suffer hard Things yet he hath a Gracious End and will make for his own Glory and the good End of his People Therefore be cheerful in the Lord your God hold fast that which you have and be not afraid of Suffering for God will make hard and bitter Things sweet and easie to all those that trust in him Keep close to the good Confession you have made of Jesus Christ and look to the Recompence of Reward be not discouraged by Reason of the Cloud that now is upon you for the Sun will shine and God will give a Testimony unto what he hath been doing in a short Time And now I desire to commit my Concernment into the Hands of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ he that hath delivered himself for the Chief of Sinners he that came into the World was made Flesh and was Crucified that hath Loved me and Washed me from my Sins in his own Blood and is Risen again sitting at the Right Hand of God making Intercession for me And as for me Oh who am I Poor Base Vile Worm that God should deal thus by me for this will make me come the sooner into his Glory and to inherit the Kingdom and that Crown prepared for me Oh I have served a good Lord and Master which hath helped me from my Beginning to this Day and hath carried me through many Difficulties Trials Straits and Temptations and hath always been a very present Help in Time of Trouble he hath covered my Head many Times in the Day of Battle By God I have leaped over a Wall by God I have run through a Troop and by my God I will go through this Death and he will make it easie to me Now into thy Hands O Lord Jesus I commit my Spirit After which Sentence was fully Executed on him and his Head set on the South-East End of Westminster-Hall and his Quarters upon the City Gates OBSERVATIONS TO commit Villany unparallell'd and bravely to outface Death is the Badge of a desperate Traytor and an unhappy Christian In this Man's Life I find nothing of Repentance as if the Murther of a King and the Ruin of Church and State were of so slight a Consequence that among Birds of his own Feather Treason becomes Meritorious and his Detestable Death a Glorious Martyrdom He calls it God's Cause nay the very Interest of the Son of God his Usurpation he terms the Fear of the Lord unheard-of Impudence Can God be the Author of Treason Or can Man expect Mercy from God's Hands that voluntarily transgresseth Prosperum felix scelus virtus vocatur was Heathenish Philosophy though without Question a Maxim in the Commonwealth of his Conscience whilst Religion was made the Stalking-horse to his Rebellion Monday following being the 15th of October about the same Hour Mr. John Carew was carried to the same Place of Execution WHen he was brought to the Gibbet before he went up the Ladder his Hands being bound he exhorted several Friends standing by to be faithful unto Death and not to be ashamed of the Cause for which they suffered and they should receive a Crown of Life And further said to a Friend that stood by that he hoped the Truths of the Kingdom which he had Preached up and down would not be the less esteemed for that he now came to Seal it with his Blood Mr. Carew's Speech upon the Ladder TRuly it is not Words nor that which I have to speak in mine own Spirit will Glorifie God or give any Advantage to your Souls or unto me but it is if I may speak a few Words in the Spirit of the Lord and in the Power of his Might and from an Unfeigned Love unto Jesus Christ that would indeed give me an open Entrance and make my Passage very Sweet and a Blessing may be left behind even upon you The first thing indeed that hath been very Weighty and I desire to leave it upon all upon Saints as well upon those that are not acquainted with Jesus Christ that Eternity Immortality and Eternal Life it is a wonderful Thing the Thoughts and Apprehensions of it are able to swallow up a poor Soul We little think what it is he that knows most of God and most of Christ and hath the greatest Measure of the Anointing he little little knows what it is to Appear before the Holy the most Glorious the most Righteous God of Heaven and Earth to stand before his Judgment-Seat before Jesus Christ that is at his Right-hand and where all the Holy Angels are so ashamed because of the Glory of God that they fall down and cover their Faces and cry Holy Holy Lord God Almighty which art and wast and art to come And therefore if such Glorious Creatures if such Excellent Spirits as these Seraphims and Cherubims be if they do fall down before the Glory and Majesty of this most Excellent and Wonderful God how should Dust and Ashes do And how should they Fear and Tremble to appear before him And there I say think of this and of the Righteousness of God as well as of his

Works are Righteous and whose are not therefore I would wish you and desire you to judge Charitably of me Observations on Colonel Scroop IF Birth or Education can render a Man Accomplisht without doubt Col. Scroop deserves a favourable Censure but as the smallest Spot is soonest discerned in a white Garment so Treason dishonours the highest Extraction and leaves a Blot in the Scutcheon of Nobility A Candid Nature obligeth me to love the Man yet my own Conscience and that solemn Commandment Fear God and Honour the King makes me Pity what I cannot ●ustifie and Condemn the Treason as a Person that once ●ov'd the Traitor Coll. John Jones his Speech upon the Ladder October 17 1660. THere is Two Things that are necessary now I am going through this narrow Gate or Passage to the Eternal Ma●esty I say Two Things are necessary as to the Occasion of my coming hither to receive my Father's good Pleasure First Peace with God Secondly Peace with Man I shall speak something to each of these and in the first Place speak something of the Court wherein I received the Sen●ence It hath been reported as I was told that I confessed ●his Fact and confessed that I were guilty of Murther as under those several-Expressions that are in the Indictment viz. I desire to clear my self before the Lord and before the World in that Particular for should I grant that I was guil●y in Reality and Truth of Murther and Malice viz. 〈◊〉 should belye my own Conscience and draw upon me a greater Weight than I could bear but thus far I do confess 〈◊〉 was willing to make the Work as short as I could and be●ause I would not stand so long I told them I would take the first Jury that came and when a Jury was called then I did Confess so much as I was convinced of as to the Matter ●f Fact I desire you will judge charitably of this that I speak at this Time as in the Presence of the Lord that it is not really viz. that I acknowledged my self guilty of Murder I had no such Thing in my Heart I must Confess I very freely quit his Majesty considerin● what he doth in this Case is the Part of a Loving Son to a Father especially the Judges telling him that it is the Law and I conceive that the Court did nothing but what they 〈◊〉 their best Vnderstandings judged Right as to Law therefo●● I freely acquit the Court though there was not enough said 〈◊〉 satisfie such a Poor Creature as I am in so great and deep Point as that was As for all others I do not know an● Man on the Earth to whom I do bear any Malice but I a●… in perfect Charity with all Men and I hope the Lord is 〈◊〉 Charity with me and therefore as I desire to have Forgivenes● my self from all those that I have offended even so I do freely Forgive all those that have in any Measure offended me The next Thing is towards God and it is that which shoul● be last upon my Heart It is not expected that I should give an Account here of my State and Condition for that is betwixt God and my own Soul and I do through the Grac● and Goodness of God firmly believe that my Redemption i● wrought and my Pardon is sealed and that I shall be immediately in my Father's Arms and that I shall be translated and brought to behold the Lord Jesus Christ in Glory with Comfort and Fulness of Joy Col. Jones his Prayer BLessed Lord God thou art the great Opener open unto my Soul the Lord Jesus Christ who will lead me into the Ways of Truth and Life O God Save me make Good all the Pledges of thy Love unto my Soul Oh make all the Promises which I have believed all the Days of my Life make them now Good unto my Soul giving me the full Enjoyment of thy self I desire to Bless and Praise thy Name for this Hour that thou hast brought me to Oh what am I poor Worm that thou shouldst give me this Opportunity to suffer for thy Name and to acknowledge thy Mercies before so great a Congregation at this Place Holy Father Holy Father Oh that thou wouldst now rain down Blessings from Heaven upon thy Poor Creatures that do hear and behold this Action this Day Oh that thou wouldst sanctifie this Thing to them and let Poor England be a Land of Truth and Happiness O Lord let England flourish And Oh that thou wouldst make thy Angel of L●ght to go before thy People Good God we pray thee keep off those great Judgments that hang over the Heads of these Nations because they have sinned against thee Through thy Name sanctifie us let not thy Name be reproached Dear Father receive my Soul I am ready to come unto thee Blessed Father into thy Hand I commend my Spirit thou hast Redeemed me Blessed be thy Name in that thou hast opened the Treasures of thy Love unto my poor Soul Thou hast given me this Hope whereof I need not be ashamed Blessed be thy Name my Spirit is full of Joy Oh Holy Father Holy Father I pray thee let thy Blessing come down upon thy Poor People Look upon me Holy Father stretch out thine Arms to carry me over this Brook I pray thee stand by me Dear Father I cast my self into thy Hand I commit my Soul unto thee Then speaking to the Sheriff said Mr. Sheriff I must needs return you many Thanks for your Civility Sheriff replied I am glad to hear such an Ingenious Confession and that you make such an End and that you have not gone into any reviling Language as some others have done before After this he committed his Soul to God and so departed Observations on Colonel Jones IF Old Age could free a Man from Punishment then had Col. Jones a good Plea in the Court of Antiquity his Grey Hairs pleaded much Gravity but Reverence is not due to Traitors to be Zealous in a Bad Cause argues a Conscience fit for Villany The Last of these Ten Persons order'd for Execution were Col. Dan. Axtel and Col. Fran. Hacker who on the 19th of October Two Days after the Death of Scroop and Jones were drawn upon One Sledge to Tyburn THey were brought forth of Prison the Sledge being ready for them they took their leave of some Friends that stood at the Door and Col. Axtel desired them to be at the Place of Execution and both entring the Sledge they cast up their Eyes toward that God to whom they were coming then with a cheerful Countenance setting themselves down they were drawn to Tyburn the Place of Execution where a Cart was set ready into which they both ascended their Countenance not at all Changed though now the King of Terror stared them in the Face the Ropes being then put about their Necks and a burning Fire kindled before their Faces first Col. Axtel applies himself to the Sheriff in these

Right Hand of God where I hope to see him by and by in Glory and Majesty and to see his Angels and Believers worshipping of him and therefore I despise the Shame Our Saviour died upon the Cross without Sin I am a sinful Creature a wretched Sinner and shall I expect better than he that was my Master He who was Holy and never had a sinful Thought in all his Life and died not for himself but for us that we might Live through his Death that through his Poverty we might be made Rich. And Christ having done this for his People it should not be in their Eyes thought a despicable Thing that we should suffer for him having been engaged in the Work of God But Christ must prevail in Righteousness and he will prevail Now Mr. Sheriff I thank you for your Civility and for this leave After this Col. Hacker spoke something privately to him whereupon Col. Axtel said Mr. Sheriff Must we both Die together Mr. Sheriff answered Yes Then Col. Hacker read a Paper which he had in his Hand a Copy whereof followeth FRiends and Countreymen All that have known me in my best Estate have not known me to be a Man of Oratory and that God hath not given me the Gift of Vtterance as to others therefore I have only this briefly to say unto you that are Spectators As the Parliament stated the War I did out of Judgment and Conscience join with them in the Common Cause and have through Grace have been faithful to it according to my Measure And as for that which now I am condemned for I do freely forgive both Judges Jury and Witnesses and all others and I thank the Lord to whom I am now going at whose Tribunal I must render an Account I have nothing lyes upon my Conscience as Guilt whereof I am now Condemned and do not doubt but to have the Sentence reverst I do now apply my self unto God by Prayer and do desire the Hearty Prayers of all that fear God that I may have a sweet Passage from this Mortal Life to that Immortal Life which God hath prepared for all that are in Christ Jesus Francis Hacker After the reading of this he desired that Col. Axtel would be both their Mouth to God in Prayer And then Col. Axtel said I desire all that fear the Lord to hear me with Patience and to lift up their Hearts to seek the Lord with me that we may have his Strength and the Presence of his Spirit from this World to Everlasting Life After he had ended his Prayer he gave the Sheriff Thanks again for his Civility and turning to Colonel Hacker they saluted and embraced each other in their Arms and said The Lord sweeten our Passage and give us a happy Meeting with himself in Glory Then pulling his Cap over his Eyes expected as is supposed that the Cart should be drawn away with his Hands lifted up he utter'd these Words with a Loud and Audible Voice Lord Jesus receive my Spirit but the Cart staying a little longer he lift up his Hands the Second Time and with the like Audible and Loud Voice said Into thy Hands O Father I commend my Spirit And yet in regard there was no Man found to put forward the Horse to draw away the Cart until the Common Hangman came down out of the Cart himself to do it the Carman as many Witnesses affirm saying He would lose his Cart and Horse before he would have a Hand in hanging such a Man by this he had Opportunity to lift up his Hands and utter the like the Third Time also Observations on Mr. Axtel and Mr. Hacker THE last Actors in this Bloody Tragedy are now entred upon the Stage and seeing they were join'd in their Lives I thought it fit to leave them as I found them These were guilty of that Horrid Murther in daring to protect what is a Sin to think Axtel guarded those Bloody Shambles where Virtue and Majesty stood like Lambs before the Butcher and now having brought the Ship of our King's Life tost upon the Tumultuous Surges of so many uncertain Fortunes almost into the Harbour of their Malice he bids Rebellion cast an Anchor on the dangerous Sands of the Good Old Cause Thus when all good Christians Hearts were melted in the Furnace of Affliction to see Majesty lye a Bleeding and Pleading for Life in every Honest Heart before so sad a Tribunal This Gentleman spent his Time in raising his Soldiers Spirits to a Pitch of Mirth laughing at their Squibs extreamly pleased that Majesty rise offended with such sad Perfumes from the Seat where he sate which was suddenly to stumble at a Block and pass unregarded to a cold Grave FINIS
