it was insinuated to my Disadvantage I forgive such as were therein instrumental And I do also from the very bottom of my Soul freely forgive and beg of God to do so too such as were any ways accessary towards the taking away my Life which I really look upon to be their Misfortune more than mine I profess my self and I thank God I am so a Member of the Church of England though God knows a most unworthy and unprofitable part of it of that Church which suffers so much at present for a strict Adherence to Loyalty the Laws and Christian Principles For this I Suffer and for this I Dye Though I have a perfect Charity for People of all Professions and do heartily wish well and would endeavour so to do to all my Fellow-Subjects of what Persuasions soever And indeed I have met with a great deal of Uprightness and Sincerity among some People of very different Opinions in Religious Matters And I hope and desire it may not be taken as an uncharitable Censure or undue Reflection that I objected to the Legality of Popish Evidence being advised so to do for my better Security upon the Foundation of a Statute-Law Having own'd my self a Member of the Church of England I must take this opportunity and I do it for God's Glory to apply my self to you that are Royalists of that Church and of the same Faith and Principles with my self And I beg of you for God's sake and the love of your Souls to be very constant and serious in all Religious Offices and holy Duties of Divine Worship and Service which I have too much neglected as I own to my great Sorrow Let no Excuse no Dangers prevent or hinder you in these most necessary and serious Matters and be I beseech you very careful and circumspect in all your Actions Behaviour and Conversation as I earnestly exhorted all that came to me I have I thank God a great deal of Satisfaction in my present Sufferings and have found it so ever since I have been under them And blessed be God it doth continually encrease upon me And I do now lay down my Life with all Chearfulness and Resignation in sure and certain Hope of a Resurrection to Eternal Life through our Lord Jesus Christ through whose Merits alone I hope for the Pardon of my Sins and the Salvation of my Soul And so O Lord into thy Hands I commend my Spirit for thou hast redeemed me O Lord thou God of Truth And I do heartily and humbly beseech Thee Almighty God and my most Gracious Father to forgive and bless this Sinful Nation deliver it from the Guilt of Rebellion Blood and Perjury that is now on all sides more than ever and from all those other heinous Sins which cry aloud Preserve and bless this Church Comfort our distressed King Restore him to his Right and his Misled Subjects to their Allegiance Bless also his Royal Consort our Gracious Queen Mary his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales that he may grow in Stature and in Favour with God and Man Support and strengthen all those that suffer in any kind for a good Cause Give them Patience under all their Afflictions and a happy Deliverance out of them Forgive all mine Enemies Pardon my former Neglect and Remissness in Religious Worship and Holy Duties and all the Sins I have been Guilty of to this very Moment Consider my Contrition Accept my Tears and now Thou art pleased to take me hence take me into thy Favour and Grant that my Soul may be without Spot presented unto Thee through the Merits of thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen John Freind Sir WILLIAM PARKYNSs Paper IT hath not been my custom to use many Words and I shall not be long upon this Occasion having Business of much greater Consequence to employ my Thoughts upon I thank God I am now in a full Disposition to Charity and therefore shall make no Complaints either of the Hardships of my Trial or any other Rigours put upon me However one Circumstance I think my self oblig'd to mention it was sworn against me by Mr. Porter That I had own'd to him that I had Seen and Read a Commission from the King to Levy War upon the Person of the Prince of Orange Now I must declare That the Tenour of the King's Commission which I saw was general and directed to all His Loving Subjects to Raise and Levy War against the Prince of Orange and his Adherents and to Seize all Forts Castles c. Which I suppose may be a customary Form of giving Authority to make War but I must confess I am not much acquainted with Matters of that Nature But as for any Commission particularly levelled against the Person of the Prince of Orange I neither saw nor heard of any such It 's true I was privy to the Design upon the Prince but was not to act in it and am fully satisfied that very few or none knew of it but those who undertook to do it I freely acknowledge and think it for my Honour to say That I was entirely in the Interest of the King being always firmly persuaded of the Justice of his Cause and lookt upon it as my Duty both as a Subject and an Englishman to assist him in the Recovery of his Throne which I believed him to be deprived of contrary to all Right and Justice taking the Laws and Constitution of my Countrey for my Guide As for my Religion I dye in the Communion of the Church of England in which I was Educated And as I freely forgive all the World so whoever I may any ways have injured I heartily ask them Pardon Apr. 3. 1696.
