THE ARCH-BISHOP OF CANTERBVRIE HIS SPEECH OR His Funerall Sermon Preached by himself on the Scaffold on Tower-hill on Friday the tenth of January 1645. Upon Hebrews 12. 1 2. Also the Prayers which he used at the same time and place before his Execution All Faithfully written by Iohn Hinde whom the Arch-bishop beseeched that hee would not let any wrong be done him by any phrase in false Copies LONDON Printed with License and entred according to Order THE ARCH-BISHOP OF CANTERBURIE HIS Funerall Sermon Preached by himself on the Scaffold on Tower-hill Upon Heb. 12. 1 2. Let us run with patience that race that is set before us looking unto Iesus the Author and finisher of our Faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the Crosse despiside the shame and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of God Good people YOu 'l pardon my old Memorie and upon so sad occasions as I am come to this place to make use of my Papers I dare not trust my self otherwise Good people This is a very uncomfortable place to preach in and yet I shall begin with a Text of Scripture in the twelfth of the Hebrews Let us runne with patience that race that is set before us looking unto Iesus the Author and finisher of our fait● c. I have been long in my race and how I have looked unto Jesus the Author and finisher of my faith is best knowne to him I am now come to the end of my race and here I finde the Crosse a death of shame but the shame must be despised or there is no comming to the right hand of God Jesus despis'd the shame for me and God-forebid but I should despise the shame for him I am going apace as you see towards the Red-sea and my feet are upon the very brinks of it an Argument I hope that God is bringing me to the Land of promise for that was the way by which of old he led his people But before they came to the Sea he instituted a passover for them a Lamb it was to bee eaten with very sowre Herbs as in the twelfe of Exodus I shall obey and labour to digest the sowre Herbs as well as the Lamb and I shall remember that it is the Lords Passeover I shall not think of the Herbs nor be angry with the hands which gathered them but look up onely to him who instituted the one and governeth the other For men can have no more power over me then that which is given them from above I am not in love with this passage through the Red-sea for I have the weaknesse and infirmity of flesh and blood in mee and I have prayed as my Saviour taught me and exampled me Vt tansiret calix ista That this Cup of red Wine might passe away from me but since it is not that my will may his will be done and I shall most willingly drink of this Cup as deep as he pleases and enter into this Sea I and passe through it in the way that he shall bee pleased to leade me And yet Good people it would be remembred That when the servants of God old Israel were in this boistrous Sea and Aaron with them the Egyptians which persecuted them and did in a manner drive them into that Sea were drowned in the same waters while they were in pursuit of them I know my God whom I serve is as able to deliver me from this Sea of blood as hee was to deliver the three Children from the fornace Daniel 3. And I must humbly thank my Saviour for it my Resolution is now as theirs was then their Resolution was They would not worship the Image which the King had set up nor shall I the Imaginations which the people are setting up nor will I forsake the Temple and the truth of GOD to follow the Bleating of Ieroboams Calves in Dan and in Bethel And I pray God blesse all this people and open their eyes that they may see the right way For if it fall out that the blinde lead the blinde doubtlesse they will both into the ditch For my self I am and I acknowledge it in all humility a most grievous sinner many wayes by thought word and deed and therefore I cannot doubt but that God hath mercie in store for mee a poore penitent as well as for other sinners I have upon this sad occation ransack'd every corner of my heart and yet I thank God I have not found any of my sinnes that are there any sins now deserving death by any known law of this Kingdome and yet thereby I charge nothing upon my Judges I humbly beseech you I may be rightly understood I charge nothing in the least degree upon my Judges for they are to proceed by proof by valuable Witnesses and in that way I or any innocent in the world may justly be condemned And I thank God though the weight of the Sentence Iye verie heavie upon me yet I am as quiet within as I thank Christ for it I ever was in my life And though I am not onely the first Archbishop but the first man that dyed in this way yet some of my predecessors have gone this way though not by this meanes For Elfegus was hurried away and lost his head by the Dans and Simon Sudbury in the fury of Wat Tyler and his fellowes And long before these Saint Iohn Baptist had his head danced of by a lewd woman and Saint Cyprian Arch-bishop of Carthage submitting his head to a persecuting sword Many examples great and good and they teach me patience for I hope my cause in Heaven will looke of another dye then the colours that is put upon it here upon earth and some comfort it is to me not onely that I goe the way of these great men in their severall generations but also that my charge if I may not be partiall looks somewhat like that against S. Paul in the 25. of the Acts for he was accused for the Law and the Temple that is the Law and Religion and like that of S. Stephen in the sixth of the Acts for breaking the Ordinances which Moses gave us which Ordinances were Law and Religion but you 'l say do I then compare my self with the integritie of Saint Paul and Saint Stephen no God forbid farre be it from mee I onely raise a comfort to my selfe that these great Saints and servants of God were thus laid up in their severall times And it is very memorable that Saint Paul who was one of them and a great one that helped on the accusation against Saint Stephen fell afterwards into the selfe same accusation himselfe yet both of them great Saints and servants of God I but perhaps a great clamour there is that I would have brought in Poperie I shall answer that more fully by and by in the meane time you know what the Pharisees said against Christ himselfe in the eleventh of Iohn If yee let
