A true Report of the Apprehension, Examination, Arraignment, trial, conviction, and condemnation of Robert Drewrie, a Seminary priest, & a Friar, of the order of Saint Benedict: at the Session's house in the old Bailie, on Friday and Wednesday, the 20. and 25. of February. And lastly, his execution at Tyburn, on Thursday following, etc.  
IN a case deserving so well to be spoken off, concerning injury to God's glory, and apparent wrong of our Country (overrun with too many men of such dangerous quality:) I thought it the duty of an honest Subject, to say somewhat, so far as truth would warrant me, because slander and detraction are no mean enemies to such manner of proceedings.  
Robert Drewrie being apprehended by his majesties Messengers at the white Friars, & afterward brought before the right revered Father in God, the Lord Bishop of London: declared himself there, as Garnet his Master had done before, Multorum nominum, to be a man of many names, but yet no one of them being good. For as no less than six several names would serve Garnets' turn, so this man had three to shadow him by, (Viz:) Drewrie, Browne, and Hamden, but Drewry was the last in his own delivering, and appearing to be his true name indeed.  
His answers werr equivocal, and very confused, denying his Priesthood, and seeming so cunning, as if no hold were to be taken of him. But he being better known to the state than himself imagined, and his many dangerous practices sufficiently discovered and scanned: after such private examinations as were thought convenient, time was appointed for his public trial, which followed as hereafter shallbe declared.  
On Friday, being the 20. day of February, in the forenoon, my Lord Mayor, Master Recorder, and other of his majesties justices of the peace, sitting at the Session's house in the old Bailie, by virtue of his highness commission of Oyre and Terminer, for Goal delivery, for London, and the County of Middlesexe: Robert Drewrie Priest, and a Friar of the Benedictine Order, was brought before the Bench. His inditement, according to form of Law in that case made and provided, was openly read unto him: whereunto he pleaded not guilty, but (for his trial) did put himself upon God and his Country, then was a very sufficient jury impanelled for him, to whom (in effect) these speeches were delivered.  
Robert Drewrie the Prisoner standing at the Bar, had traitorously, wilfully, and in contempt of the Statute made to the contrary, departed our of this land, wherein he was borne, and at Valcdolid in Spain, (where by Parson's means, a Seminary for English Students was erected, as the like were at Rome and Rheims) had been kind a Priest by the Bishop of Leon, by authority derived from the Pope. Since which time, he had returned back into this land, to reconcsle, seduce, and withdraw his majesties subjects, from their natural duty, love, and allegiance, to a foreign service and obedience.  
Having liberty granted to speak, and answer for himself what he could, Robert Drewrie very shallowly sought to insinuate, that if it were treason in him to be a Priest, than it was the like in Saint Augustine, S. Bernard, and other reverend Fathers of the Church, who received their Priesthood by authority from God, and so did he presume to have done the like, for the salvation of his own Soul, and many others beside, which purposely he came hither to do, according to his office and function. His silly suggestion was presently reproved, that notwithstanding the great difference between his Priesthood, and that of the Fathers before named, yet Priesthood solely was not imputed to him for Treason, for that profession, (though neither liked nor ●●lowed by us) he might use and exercise in the 〈◊〉 beyond the Seas, keeping himself there, but 〈◊〉 here within his majesties Kingdom, where 〈◊〉 he, and all other of his rank, did very well kno● & therefore could not plead any ignorance there 〈◊〉 that sundry good and sufficient laws heeretof●● made, had enacted it to be treason, for any 〈◊〉 borne to forsake his native duty, and being 〈◊〉 Priest by authority derived from the Pope, to 〈◊〉 home again into this land, and (in mere conten● of the King and his la●es) to reconcile, seduce, 〈◊〉 alienate loyal subjects hearts, from love, just ●●gard and duty to their Sovereign, and sub●●●ting them in obedience to a foreign government Drewrie made answer, he could not, neither 〈◊〉 he deny, but that he came hither to exercise the office of a Priest, according as he had already do●● in winning of souls: but he would not admit, 〈◊〉 he had seduced any, or in any sort dissuaded th●● but only for the good of their souls. Being afterwards urged with his majesties great mercy, 〈◊〉 had to him and all other of his coat, granted 〈◊〉 general pardon, and why he did not (according 〈◊〉 the Proclamation) depart the land when it wa● expressly commanded: he made answer, that he 〈◊〉 means, when it was proved to him: that only did the King allow such convenient tras●●ting, but also enabled them with money, and therefore his stay, could not be otherwise, but meere●● traitorous contempt of the king's laws: wh●●● to he could make no reply.  
Then divers traitorous and dangerous Papers were shown, which had been taken in his custody, and whereof he would gladly have acquitted himself, but that they were manifestly proved to be his. One of them seemed to be Parson's opinion, concerning the oath in the late made Statute, which he utterly disallowed any Catholic to take, appearing to have used the Pope's censure therein, whereupon the Bull or brief to that purpose seemeth to take effect.  
The others were also of traitorous nature, tending to the abuse and corrupting of poor simple souls, and stealing all duty & allegiance from them. There were likewise two Letters openly read, the one from certain Priests, Prisoners sometimes in the Clinke, to the Archpriest master Blackwell, requiring his judgement in matters, when they laboured and hoped for toleration in Religion: The other was Master Blackwels answer thereto, both which though he would have cunningly avoided, yet it appeared what reckoning he made of them.  
When he had answered for himself so much as he could, relying still upon his Priesthood, & urging that to be the chiefest matter of his offence, though many times the contrary was delivered to him: the jury passed upon him, found him guilty of high Treason, whereupon he was sent away till the time of judgement: which because it was not till Wednesday following, it shall not be much differing from our purpose, to handle and say somewhat in the mean while, concerning the trial and conviction of Humphrey Lloyde, indicted there upon Wilful Murder, having slain Master Thomas Morris, one of the ordinary yeamen of his Mayest Guard, not long before in Chauncery-Lane.  
Upon Sunday in the afternoon being the 18. of january, the forenamed Humphrey Lloyd and Thomas Morris, meeting together in Aldersgate street, in the company of certain other of their friends, went into the half Moon Tavern to drink, where they had no plenty of such Wine, as to cause distemper, or otherwise (that way) to procure impatience.  
But it was delivered in evidence that some speeches concerning Religion passed between them, wherein Morris touched Lloyd to be a dissembler, as neither hot nor cold, but if any thing at all, it was (indeed) best affected to Popery, as afterward it plainly appeared. It happened that the lie was retorted between them, which urged Morris to cast a cup of Wine in lloyd's face, and Lloyd thereupon threw a Roll of bread at the head of Morris. A further and more dangerous strife had presently ensued, but that honest friends on both sides being present, did so discreetly deal with them, that they grew friends again, drank to one another and no hartburning outwardly perceived: till at the length, Lloyd renewing remembrance of the former speeches, a more heavier falling out had thereon happened, but that the friends, as before pacified them again, but yet menacing words passed from either, Morris threatening to be ●uen with lloyd's bald pate, and Lloyd would try acquittance with the others Cods-heade, so that they parted with terms of enmity.  
On the Wednesday next ensuing, Lloyde and a Gentleman in a white coloured cloak, standing talking together at Lincoln's Inn gate, it happened Morris and a friend of his with him to pass by: the friend saluted Lloyd, as Lloyd did the like by him. And very soon after, the Gentleman in the white cloak, that had stood talking with Lloyd, being sent by him as it appeared, followed Morris, as Lloyd likewise, and rounding him in the ear, which the friend then with Morris could not hear. he perceived an alteration in the countenance of Morris, and the like in Lloyd, wh●●● by this time was come to them, which he being desirous to remove, as standing an equal friend to them both, desired them, if any thing were amiss between them, to 〈◊〉 him persuade a friendly agreement, and not to grow into any uncivil behaviour in th● open street, to the wounding of their credit and reputation, as also what danger might otherwise ensue, was doubtful to be gathered. Lloyd made answer, that he was goo● friends with his Cousin Morris, & loved hi● as dearly as any in England. Whereto Mo●ris instantly replied: wilt thou never lead thy dissembling? Dost thou pretend to lo●● me so dearly, and hast even now sent me challenge by this man? Lloyd immediate returned him this answer, that if he had 〈◊〉 sent him a challenge, he was come in people to answer it, and would perform it, the● or any where else: thus his malicious inte●● very plainly appeared. What other word passed between them, I know not, neither could they be heard by any standers by, 〈◊〉 forthwith they drew out both their Weapon's, notwithstanding all entreaty to the contrary: And indeed Lloyd did draw to soo● to express his bloody and vnquencheab●● malice, for he soon gave to Morris his death wound: whereupon he fell down presently notspeaking one word.  
And to witness the more his cruel and bloody hatred, he struck twice or thrice at him when he was down, cutting him over the head, and otherwise wounding him, yet he pleaded, that he did all this, but in his own defence.  
All this which hath been briefly reported being much more circumstantially delivered in evidence, and by oath approved to his face: he sought to extenuate his offence by very shallow speeches, utterly impertinent, and most against himself. in due consideraon of his frivolous allegations. For he had been a man of more dangerous quality, than was conceined in his present trial, having tasted the Kings most gracious mercy, and had been borne withal beyond his deserving.  
It was also told him, how far he had waded in Watsons treason, and was also a partaker in the Gunpowder plot, sending shot and powder also to them in wales, in all which, the mercy of his Majesty had looked more mildly upon him, than himself could desire, or any way deserve. But the justice of heaven very manifestly appeared, that so false and hollow a heart, sullied with the detested guilt of treason, must now in a wilful and malicious act of blood and murder, declare itself to the whole world, and the upright censure of Law, this way deprive him of life, that had felt mercy before in a heavier offence. Here is also to be noted that as the quarrel first happened on talk of popish Religion, so now Lloyd discovers him in his colours. For though it was told him, that he had very confidently delivered himself to be otherwise, and which himself was not able to deny: yet now Drewrie the Priest (after his judgement) passing away by him in the Docket, gave him a public noted absolution with his hand crossing him, and using some close speeches, whereupon, thinking this sufficient to wash off his stain o● Murder: he forthwith openly confessed, tha● he is a Catholic, so he had been always and so he would die, as if that very nam● should give fame to his foul fact, & wher● he died a murderer, his own idle supposition of Popish absolution should make him now to die in the case of a Martyr, and for his conscience.  
When he was drawn in the Cart (with others toward execution, and all the Carts being stayed before Saint sepulchres Church, where the most Christian and charitable deed of Master dove, at every such time is worthily performed, to move prayer and compassion in men's hearts, for such 〈…〉: All the while that the man spoke Lloyd stopped his ears, not willing to hear any thing, but if any Roman Catholics were near, he desired such to pray for him. And so at Tyburn he did in like manner, calling to Roman Catholics to pray with him and for him, but no other prayers would he accept of. But the Law having censured him, and justice likewise being passed upon him: what else remains to be thought or said of him, let it be so charitably as such a case requireth, and as becometh all honest Christians. Evermore remembering, that flesh & blood is subject to frailty, and he that boasteth most of strength, may soon fall and be deceived: therefore let us measure other men's infirmities, by a considerate care of whatour own may be, and committing all to him that is the only iudg of all, desire his heavenly help and assistance never to suffer us to be led into the like temptations. Let us now remember where we left before, and return to the matter concerning the Priest.  
In this time of respite since his condemnation, bethinking himself, (belike) of his present dangerous condition: he solicited sundry great Persons by his Letters, entreating all possible favour to be allowed him. Among the rest, he wrote to Sir Henry Montague, Recorder of London, requiring to have some private speech with him. The Gentleman being of a milce and merciful inclination, willing to do good to any, but much more to one at the point of such peril: upon Monday morning, sent for Drewrie down into the Session's house garden to him, where urging to know, what favour he requested, and alleging the kings great and gracious mercy to any that expressed themselves to be his loving Subjects, and would take the oath of duty and obedience to him: Drewrie made voluntary tender of himself, that he would take the oath, acknowledging the greatness of his majesties mercy, and humbly required, that the like grace might be afforded to his Brother William Davies the other Priest, that was condemned with him. Master Recorder conceived very well of this his submission, and was in his mind persuaded, that if he had put him to the oath presently, without any refusal he would have taken it. But he (as an upright justicer) very wisely considering, that his fact being openly known, and the people acquainted with his dangerons practices, his public submission and taking the oath would the better witness his obedience and submission, and prove much more pleasing than any thing done in private, deferred it till the time of more conveniency, so Drewrie departed up to his Chamber again, being used with all kind and gentle respect.  

¶ The extraordinary great grace and mercy offered at the Sessions-house, to Roberd Drewrie and William Davies Pristes', on wednesday the 25. of February, and lastly the sentence of death pronounced against them.  
ACcording to the custom in such cases observed, the trial and condemnation of Robert Drewrie, passing as hath been already declared on the Friday before: On Wednesday following, being the five and twentieth day of February, the Prisoner was brought to the Bar again. Where it being told him, that he had been already arraigned upon high treason, and had pleaded thereto not guilty, but for his trial, had put himself upon GOD and his Country, the Country had found and delivered him up guilty: it now remained to hear what he could say for himself, why judgement of death should not be pronounced against him.  
He replied as he had done before, that he took himself not to be convicted of Treason, but only for his Priesthood, which if the Law made treason, he had nothing to say, but appealed to the kings grace and mercy.  
Hereupon his voluntary offer, to take Oath on the Monday before was rehearsed to him. And it was further told him, that now it was apparently perceived how collorably he cloaked his private and pernicious dealing, answering by equivocation, and setting down one thing under his own hand, than afterward speaking directly against the same. For proof whereof his own Letter written since the time of his condemnation, to a Person of great honour was there read, and as much thereof as concerned the present occasion then in hand, was the more insisted upon. Wherein (if my memory fail me not) it appeared, that he had been required, to set down his censure & opinion according as himself did best gather and conceive thereof, concerning the Oath of legalty and allegiance mentioned in the late tatute: whereunto (as I remember) his answer was thus: I freely confess, that (in my opinion) every honest and good Catholic, may lawfully & safely take it. Immediately, because he had made such a free confession, of the Oaths lawfulness, and safety in taking, himself was willed to take the Oath, which he had thus censured: to let the world perceive now publicly, whether his hand and heart held true correspondence together, and whether he were so honest and good a Catholic, as but to express the loyalty of a Subject, and give Caesar his due. Now plainly appeared both what he and such of his profession inwardly are, for he plainly refused to take the Oath, having the Book delivered into his own hands, and willed to take and allege what exceptions he could against any part or particle of the Oath, his answer was, that he did but deliver his opinion of the Oath, what any good or honest Catholic, might do, excluding himself out of any such titles: neither (quoth he) can it be any way advantageable to me, being condemned as I am, & therefore I have no reason to take it. But then to meet justly with such cunning dissembling, and equivocating, and to discover such apparent falsehood: that no less admired, then most worthy Gentleman, sir Henry Montague, Knight, Recorder of the City of London, as he had many times before, so still he continued, in displaying the subtle slights of so dangerous a person, and what hurt ensued to the state by such as he was. To drive him now from these idle suggestions, and to lay open the kings most Royal Mercy, though not so much (as in Truth it deserved yet sufficiently able to convince such impudence: he told him, that he was a poor Minister of justice under his Majesty, and had such true acquaintance with his ever-royall and merciful inclination, that hearty sorrow or repentance in an offender, no sooner could be discerned, but he was even as ready to give pardon and forgiveness, and rather did superabound in grace, then seek after blood, and therefore willed him to let all the people there perceive, whether he would accept of this proffered grace or no. Nay more, because every one was not acquainted with the Oath contained in the Statute, and (perchance) might conceit otherwise thereof, then in equity it deserved, the Clerk was commanded to read it there publicly, and himself to except against it whatsoever he could allege. The Clerk accordingly began as followeth, reading it destinctly, as it is in the Book.  
The Oath of every true and honest subject.  
I A.B. do truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess, testify and declare in my conscience, before God and the world; that our Sovereign Lord king james, is lawful and rightful king of this realm, and of all other his majesties Domions and Countries: And that the Pope, neither of himself, nor by any authority of the Church or See of Rome, or by any other means, with any other, hath any power or authority to depose the King, or to dispose any of his majesties kingdoms, or Dominions, or to authorize any foreign Prince to invade or annoy him, or his countries, or to discharge any of his subjects of their allegiance and obedience to his Majesty, or to give licence or leave to any of them, to bear Arms, raise tumult, or to offer violence or hurt to his majesties royal Person, state, or government, or to any of his majesties subjects within his majesties Dominions.  
Also, I do swear from my heart, that notwithstanding any declaration or sentence of excommunication, or deprivation made or granted, or to be made or granted by the Pope or his successors, or by any Authority derived or pretended to be derived from him or his See, against the said king, his heirs or Successors, or any absolution of the said subjects from their obedience: I will bear faith and true allegiance to his Majesty, his heirs & successors, and him and them will defend to the uttermost of my power, against all conspiracies and attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against his or their persons, their crown and dignity, by reason or colour of any such sentence or declaration, or otherwise, and will do my best endeavour, to disclose and make known unto his Majesty his heirs and successors, all Treasons and Traitorous conspiracies, which I shall know or hear of to be against him or any of them.  
And I do further swear, that I do from my heart abhor, detest and abjure, as impious and heretical, this damnable doctrine and position, that Princes which be Excommunicated, or deprived by the Pope, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or any other whatsoever.  
And I do believe, and in conscience am resolved, that neither the Pope, nor any person whatsoever, hath power to absolve me of this Oath, or any part thereof, which I acknowledge by good and faithful authority to be lawfully ministered to me, and do renounce all pardons and dispensations to the contrary. And all these things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge and swear, according to these express words by me spoken, and according to the plain and common sense, and understanding to the same words, without Equivocation, or mental evasion, or secret reservation whatsoever. And I do make this recognition and acknowledgement heartily, willingly, and truly, upon the true faith of a Christian, so help me God.  
This Oath, which no good subject will refuse to take, having been very audibly read, well near in the perfect hearing of every one there present, he was required to allege or infer against any part thereof what he could. But he insisting vainly, as he had done before, that he had but given his opinion thereof for others, and refusing utterly to take it himself, gave evident and manifest testimony, that such Priests as himself was, were not included in the rank of honest or good Catholics, but apparent Traitors to the King and state, in saying one thing, and doing the contrary, in making an outward show of duty & obedience under hand writing, and reserving a traitorous intention in their close bosom Wherein the gross deceiving and abusing of too many over-credulous souls (being falsely persuaded of such men, otherwise than they are indeed) is very much to be pitied and lamented: for they do but judge by the exterious habit of smooth sanctity and holiness and not by the close seducing of them and their souls. Religion is the Cloak cast over intended treason, and holy protestations hide hollow hearted practices, more devilish then (in plain meaning) can easily be doubted, and far more dangerous, then weak capacities are able to discover, as very excellently and elegantly, was there plainly approved.  
Another allegation also (as impertinent) did Drewrie make, in saying: that a French Priest, or a Spanish Priest, coming into this land, to exercise their function at either of their Lord Ambassadors, or otherwise, they might in like manner be termed traitors: whereat all the bystanders were even ready to hiss him, Knowing very well, and as it was with good discretion answered him, that such priests, neither were, or could be reckoned subjects to this state, nor were they enabled to deal in such dangerous manner with our people, wanting our language, and credit in such a case to countenance them, as (by their sly insinuating) they being borne subjects, & credited more than beseemed, did too much prevail by. And as freely might such Ambassadors have men of spiritual office about them, being of their own country, as ours are allowed the like, within their masters Dominions. So that still he would have maintained that Priesthood, and not the treacherous complotting and practices of Priests, in his understanding, was to be held for Treason. The same grace & favour which had been before extended to Drewrie, in as ample measure was offered to Davies the other Priest, and he was demanded whether he would take the Oath or no. He replied that he was a poor simple ignorant man, and could hardly censure what thereto belonged. For there were many learned Priests, whose judgements (in this case) he would first know, & then perhaps he might be otherwise altered. Wherein appeareth, that one only Romish rule and observation, is a lesson or direction to them all, and the Bulls or Breves of the Pope, are more regarded and respected by them, than the native loyalty and obedience, they owe to their King and Country. But mercy hath been overmild too long, and won no such grace from, as justly was expected, but rather hath armed them with more boldness & insolence, than either is fit in them to offer, or stands with the wisdom of so great a state to endure: For, Nunquid colligunt de spinis ruas, 〈◊〉 de tribulis ficus? Do o Men gather Grapes of Thorns, or Figs of Thistles?  
When no further good, either by testimony of their own shame, or even Fatherlike & most kind persuasions, could be wrought upon either of them: first a most grave, learned, and judicious admonition was made unto them, containing briefly the many & extraordinary great graces of the king's Majesty toward men of their condition, and how after granting them first his free and general pardon, he never left off, but pursued them still with all favours that could be devised, as not desiring the death of any one, but rather to live quietly, like a godly, peaceful, and religious King: not enacting any new or severe Laws against such dangerous Persons, but ratifying and confirming them that he found at his coming, which Queen Elizabeth (of ever happy memory) compulsively was compelled and enforced to make against them. And yet the justice of those Laws, which had been of seven and twenty years continuance before, his Majesty did forbear to execute: and finding many, whose lives lay under the forfeit of the law, not only did he remit them in grace, but likewise gave his free pardon to all: Sending so many as were in durance away at his own cost and charge, and publishing the like offer to all other, that would except of so kind a benefit: as loath to meddle with their blood, that were enemies to his life, and desirous to win them by mercy, if they were not too monstrous. Nor hath he sentenced any Priest with death since his coming to the Crown, but such as were men of most dangerous quality, & had their hands over deep in most barbarous & inhuman treasons. But when neither persuasions, sufferances, nor Proclamations will serve, to keep such dangerous men out of the land, but even in spite of the King and his Laws they will needs come over, and put in practise their treacherous devices: mercy (of necessity) must give way to justice, and pity prevail no longer, when grace is despised.  
The many and excellent parts contained in Master Recorders learned and elegant speech, I am not able to set down, and therefore do humbly crave favour, for but glancing as these few: which though they come far short of their just merit, yet let my good will excuse all imperfections. Being come to the very jump of giving judgement, Drewrie demanded, if (as yet) he might have favour to speak, and (most honourably) it was answered that he might, for the kings mercy was never too late: therefore he was willed, not to trifle the time in frivolous speeches, but if he would yet take the Oath, do it. and afterward speak what further he would, which made all the standers by, even confounded with amazement, that Grace should be so abundantly offered unto such froward and wilful refusers. Drewrie would not yield to take the Oath, whereupon the sentence of death was pronounced against them both. To be conveyed thence to the place from whence they came, and there to be laid upon an hurddle, and so drawn to the place of execution, where they should hang till they were half dead, then to have their secrets cut off, and with their entrails thrown into the fire before their faces, their heads to be severed from their bodies, which severally should be divided into four quarters, and afterward disposed at his majesties pleasure, in mean while, the Lord to take mercy upon their souls, and so they were sent back to prison again.    

A brief Report of the execution of Robert Drewrie, drawn on a Hurddle in his Fryer-Benedictine habbet to Tyburn, on Thursday the 25. of February.  
ON the next morning, being Thursday, an hurdle being brought to Newgate, Robert Drewrie (hoping yet for life) and not thinking to die, as by the sequel it plainly appeared, having put on after the manner of the Benedictine Friars beyond the Seas, a new suit of apparel, being made of black stuff, new shoes, stockings, and Garters, and a black new stuff Priests gown or Cassock being, buttoned down before by Loops and buttons, two and two together to the very foot, a new cornered cap on his head, and under it a fair wrought nightcap: was in this manner drawn along to Tyburn, where being by the executioner prepared for death, he was brought up into the cart, and using such idle speeches, as he had done often before, that he died not for Treason, but for his Priesthood, he was willed to deal more justly, & not to abuse the world now at his death, in uttering that which was a manifest lie and untruth. He made answer, that in all his life time, he had not told a lie, and then after a short pause, added, not willingly. There were certain papers shown at Tyborn, which had been found about him, of very dangerous and Traitorous nature. And among them also was his Benedictine faculty under Seal, expressing what power & authority he had from the Pope, to make men, women, and Children here, of his order: what Indulgences and Pardons he could grant them, both in this life, and for multitude of years after their death, preserving them both from Purgatory, & warranting their entrance (by the Pope's keys) into heaven. He confessed himself to be a Roman Catholic, and a Priest, and desired all Roman Catholics to pray with him, and for him. And often looking about him, as hoping there was some mercy for him, for fear appeared very plainly in him, when he felt the Cart to go 〈◊〉 under him, and his expectation to be deceived, he caught fast hold with his left hand on the ●alter above his head, and very hardly was enforced to let it go, but held so for a pretty while. If this were not an apparent hope of life, I refer it to better judgements than mine own. He hung till he was quite dead, and afterward his body was quartered.  
FINIS.
