no Physician there to heal a wounded spirit to support a sinking sinner O Father of mercies though his life is forfeited by this Hellish Act let not his H●pes of Heaven be lost and his precious soul Thou O God of Truth sayst If we confess our sins thou art faithful and just to forgive them And he acknowledges O Lord in the bitterness of his soul that he is the vilest bloudiest Villain that ever

O Lord I know not what to pray for as I ought let thy Spirit help my infirmities and enable me to offer a Spiritual Sacrifice unto thee by Jesus Christ O Most Gracious and Glorious Lord God the Saviour of the world who art infinitely holy and happy and it is from thee I must expect the possibility of being either the vilest of thy Creatures or the unworthiest among such as own a God I do humbly prostrate my self before thee confessing from the bottom of my heart that I have transgressed my duty towards thee my Neighbour and my self and that by neglecting to do those things that thou hast expresly forbidden and this not through ignorance and frailty but knowingly and willingly against the motions of thy Spirit and the checks of my own Conscience to the contrary and to my shame I confess that I have lifted up violent hands against her that bore me being the Instrument to take away that life whence I derived my own such is the terror of my sin the stain of my polluted Conscience that nothing but the blood of my Redeemer can wash it I am troubled for my sins and my thoughts are disquieted within me I pant for mine heaviness and all the day long I groan for my offences Psal 15.14 Deliver me from guiltiness O God and in mercy save my Soul And since my life hath hitherto been a president for the height of pride and cruelty my actions to this remainder of my life did loudly say there is no God since the Devil h●● tempted me to destroy my body O give me Grace to beguile him of my Soul let me henceforth be the more diligent and careful as I have been hitherto remises and wilfull my misery is unspeakable O let me not loose my Relations and Soul too but grant me I implore thy goodness a sincere Contrition a hearty confession and Repentance which thou hast promised Mercy and Pardon I have sinned with Peter and David O! give me their heart-melting sorrow and Salvation make me a great Penitent as I have made my self a great sinner let my Tears not only confess but my heart change from a brutish to a Christian temper that I out of due sense of my horrid Impiety and a serious apprehension of my guilt which lies before me may with all earnestness of Spirit with all vigour and resolution beg and at last obtain Mercy for Christ his sake who dyed upon the Cross to save sinners of whom I am chief 1 Tim. 1.15 O! heal my Soul by his wounds let his Innocence attend for my guilt

David said to Nathan I have sinned against the Lord and Nathan said to David the Lord also hath put away thy sin Isa 45.18 19. I said not to the seed of Jacob seek ye me in vain Isa 55.7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord and he will abundantly pardon Ezek. 18.23 30 32. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die saith the Lord and not that he should turn from his ways and live Repent and turn your selves from all your transgressions so Iniquity shall not be your ruine for I have no pleasure in him that dyeth wherefore turn your selves and live Mica 7.18 Who is a God like unto thee that pardonest Iniquity and passeth by transgression that retainest not thy anger for ever and delightest in Mercy Mat. 18.11 the Son of man is come to save that which was lost 1 Tim. 1.15 This is a faithfull saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners whereof I am chief Isa 55.7 Let the wicked forsake his ways and the unrighteous his Imaginations and return to the Lord and he will have Mercy upon him and to our God for he is ready to forgive Isa 57.10 I have seen his ways and will hear him I will lead him and restore comfort unto him and to those that lament Psal 103.13 As a Father hath compassion on his Children so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him Psal 144.3 Lord what is man that thou takest Knowledge of him or the Son of man that thou makest account of him Job 16.21 22. O that one might plead for a man with God as a man pleaded for his Neighbour When a few days are come then I shall go the way whence I shall not return In this manner this penitent Malefactor passed the time in a very sorrowfull and Religious frame of Spirit for about half a year in Prison untill the last assizes for Monmouth the seventh of March last past at which time being brought to his Tryal out of consideration as 't is believed to save his Estate for his VVife and Child whereof she was there ready to be delivered he would not plead to the Indictment but stood mute and thereupon had Judgment to be pressed to death a Sentence that carryes with it so much of terrour that we think it not improper to set it down with the Reason thereof as one published by that grand Piller of your Law the learned Lord Cook in the second Book of his Institutes in his Comment on Prim. Westm Cvp. 12. The Judgement or Sentence in case of standing mute called Pain Fort Dure THat the Prisoner shall be remanded to the Prison and laid there in some low and dark house where he shall lie naked on the bare Earth without any Litter Rush or other Cloathing and without any Garment about him but something to cover his Privities and that he shall lye upon his back his head uncovered and his feet and one Arm shall be drawn to one quarter of the house and the other Arm to another quarter and in the same manner shall be done with his Legs and there shall be laid upon his Body Iron and Stone as much as he can bear and more and the next day following he shall have three Morsels of Barley without any Drink and the second day he shall drink thrice of the water that is next to the house of the Prison except running water without any Bread and this shall be his diet untill he be dead Thus we see they are to die three manner of ways viz. Onere Fame Frigore by weight famine and cold and therefore if executed according to the severity of the Law 't is a punishment of all others the most grievous and fearful the reason of this terrible Judgment is there rendred because he refused to stand to the common Law of the Land that is Lawful and due Tryal according to Law and thereupon his punishment for this contumacy is more severe lasting and grievous then it should have been for the crime it self if he had been Convicted of it which he cannot be without Answer THis Action of Mr. Jones standing mute administred occasion to some to dispute its lawfulness and theteupon a very Judicious Casuist drew up the ensuing Case of Conscience CASE OF CONSCIENCE Whether a guilty Malefactor ought to Answer to the lawful Demands of his Judge Affirmatur Because 1. He cannot deny a Truth whereof he is himself Convicted without Lying nor can he deny or any way detract from his Duty of Answering being demanded by a superiour and lawful Power without being likewise guilty of Contumacy and sad Inobedience 2. A Malefactor who is condemned already in foro Conscientiae cannot without remorse deny nor indeed wave or conceal his Confession when he is Juridice demanded without giving offence to the glory of God as it was in the Case of Achan Josh 7.19 3 The publick Good which is intended by the lawful demands of the Judge ought not to be frustrated Give me leave to speak conscienciously by the private evasions of the Criminal 4. The Person guilty not pleading may be supposed to die for his Crime of Contumacy not the Fact which requires satisfaction in this life 5.
