             me
             to
             speak
             much
             ,
             there
             are
             many
             Gentlemen

             my
             voyce
             truly
             is
             so
             weak
             ,
             so
             low
             ,
             that
             they
             cannot
             hear
             me
             ,
             neither
             truly
             was
             
               I
            
             ever

               I
            
             had
             to
             express
             ,
             that
             I

             .
             Which
             way
             must
             I
             speak

             And
             
             then
             being
             directed
             to

             say
             something

             since
             God

             The
             first
             thing
             which
             I
             must
             professe
             ,
             is

             what

             good
             Family

             that
             hath
             ever
             been
             faithfull

             Protestant
             Religion

             I
             hope
             God
             wil
             forgive
             me

             since
             I
             conceive
             that
             it
             is
             very
             much
             his
             pleasure
             to

             to
             this
             place

             the
             sins
             that
             I
             have
             committed
             .
             The
             cause
             that
             hath
             brought
             me
             hither
             ,
             I
             believe
             by
             many
             hath
             been
             much
             mistaken
             .
             They
             have
             conceived
             that
             I
             have
             had
             ill

             Truly
             I
             look
             upon
             it
             as
             a
             Judgement
             ,
             and
             a
             just
             Judgement
             of
             God
             ;
             not
             but
             I
             have
             offended
             so
             much
             the
             State

             that
             I
             have
             had
             an
             extream
             vanity
             in
             serving
             them
             very
             extraordinarily
             .
             For
             those
             actions
             that
             I
             have
             done
             ,
             I
             think
             it
             is
             known
             they
             have
             been
             ever
             very
             faithfull
             to
             the
             publique
             ,
             and

             particularly
             to
             Parliaments
             .
             My
             affections
             have
             been
             ever
             exprest
             truly
             and
             clearly
             to
             them
             .
             The
             dispositions
             of
             affairs
             now
             have
             put
             things
             in
             another
             posture
             then
             they
             were
             when
             I
             was
             ingaged
             with
             the
             Parliament
             .
             I
             have
             never
             gone
             off
             from
             those
             Principles
             that
             ever
             I
             have
             professed
             :
             I
             have
             lived
             in
             them
             ,
             and
             by
             Gods
             grace
             will
             die
             in
             them
             .
             There
             may
             be
             alterations
             and
             changes
             that
             may
             carry
             them
             further
             
             then
             I
             thought
             reasonable
             ,
             and
             truly
             there
             I
             left
             them
             :
             but
             there
             hath
             been
             nothing
             that
             I

             or
             professed

             either
             by

             or
             Declaration

             hath
             not
             been
             very
             constant
             ,
             and
             very
             clear
             upon
             the
             principles
             that
             I
             ever

             gone
             upon
             ,
             which
             was
             to
             serve
             the
             King

             I
             should
             have
             said
             in
             the
             first
             place
             )
             the
             Common-Wealth
             ,
             and
             to
             seek
             the
             Peace
             of
             the
             Kingdome
             .
             That
             made
             me
             think
             it
             no
             improper
             time
             ,
             being
             prest
             out
             by
             accidents
             and
             circumstances
             ,
             to
             seek
             the
             Peace
             of
             the
             Kingdome
             ,
             which
             I
             thought
             was
             proper
             ,
             since
             there
             was
             somthing
             then
             in
             agitation
             ,
             but
             nothing
             agreed
             on
             for
             seeding
             Propositions
             to
             the
             King
             ;
             that
             was
             the
             furthest
             aim
             that
             I
             had
             ,
             and
             truly
             beyond
             that
             I
             had
             no
             intention
             ,
             none
             at
             all
             .
             And
             God
             be
             praised
             ,
             although
             my
             bloud
             comes
             to
             be
             shed
             here
             ,
             there
             was
             I
             think
             scarcely
             a
             drop
             of
             bloud
             shed
             in
             that
             action

             For
             the

             I
             cannot

             as
             (
             I
             conceive

             no body

             judgement

             and
             therefore
             I
             must

             of

             are
             ,
             that
             God
             would

             settle
             it
             in
             a
             way
             agreeable

             I
             look

           without
           vanity
           )
           of
           much
           affection
           to
           Religion

           I
           have
           indeavoured
           to
           do
           those
           actions

           have
           become
           an
           honest
           man
           ,
           and
           which
           became

           good
           Englishman

           .
           I
           have
           been
           willing
           to
           oblige

           those

           persecution
           ,
           and
           truly
           I
           find
           a
           great
           reward
           of
           it
           ;
           for

           have
           found

           in
           this

           and
           in
           this
           condition
           I
           am
           in
           ,
           and
           I
           thinke

           a
           great
           reward

           them
           for
           it
           .
        
         
           I
           am
           a
           great
           sinner
           ,
           and
           I
           hope
           God
           will
           be
           pleased
           to
           heare
           my
           prayers
           ,
           to
           give
           me
           faith
           to
           trust
           in
           him
           ,
           that
           as
           he
           hath
           called
           me
           to
           death
           at
           this
           place
           ,
           he
           will
           make
           it
           but
           a
           passage
           to
           an
           eternall
           life
           through
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           which
           I
           trust
           to
           ,
           which
           I
           rely
           upon
           ,
           and
           which
           I
           expect
           by
           the
           mercy
           of
           God
           .
           And
           so
           I
           pray
           God
           blesse
           you
           all
           ,
           and
           send
           that
           you
           may
           see
           this
           to
           be
           the
           last
           execution
           ,
           and
           the
           last
           bloud
           that
           is
           likely
           to
           bee
           spilt
           among
           you
           .
           And
           then
           turning
           to
           the
           side-raile
           ,
           he
           prayed
           for
           a
           good
           space
           of
           time
           ;
           after

             follow
             him
             ,
             in
             the
             way
             that
             was
             taken
             with

             not
             ashamed

             I
             have
             often
             disputed

             many
             things

             had
             spared
             him
             life

             somthing
             of
             vanity
