THE Behaviour, last Words, Non-Confession, And just EXECUTION OF Richard Langhorne, Counsellor at Law, For HIGH-TREASON, AT TYBURN, On Monday the 14th of July, 1679.  
MR. Langhorne received his Trial on Friday the 13th of June; and being Convicted, had Sentence of death passed upon him, together with Father White-bread and the other four Jesuits since Executed on the 20th of the same month; but he alleging multiplicity of other persons Concerns that lay in his hands, did desire and obtained a respite of Execution, that he might have time to settle those Affairs. There was good hopes he might have made an ingenuous Discovery of this damnable Plot, being without doubt as able to do it as most concerned therein, since as he had many years been the general Conveyancer for settling Papists Estates, who contrive them so perplexedly, and with such subtlety, that 'tis almost impossible to find out where, or in whom the Propriety is vested; which is purposely done, to avoid the Penalties and Forfeitures inflicted by Law for their Recusancy: So in particular he was a Trustee, and managed Affairs for the Jesuits; of which Society he was too great an Admirer, and so far influenced by them, as brought him to this Untimely End. He pretended to declare what he knew concerning Estates by them purchased in England, but with what sincerity may easily be imagined.  
As to the Crimes proved upon him, they were Treasons of the blackest die; that he was so far interested in this horrid Plot, as to be designed. Advocate-General of their Army; and in the mean time entrusted with Registering all their Consults and Orders, and keeping their Commissions who were to have Commands. His Hellish zeal was notorious, in that cursed expression, when Wakeman refused to accept of 10000 l. to poison our Sacred Sovereign, as being too little a Sum; this Gentleman said, He was a pitiful Narrow-souled Physician, to stand upon Money in such a case, which any good Catholic would, or aught to do gratis. But the exact Account of his Trial is abroad in Print; and thereunto we refer the Reader for satisfaction, as to what was proved against him.  
He had abundance of people came to visit him in Newgate, during the time of his Reprieve, and seemed to have been not a little desirous to live; but his Party did so continually ply him with Lectures of perseverance, and the goodness of the Cause for which he was to suffer, how much he would merit by concealing, and how damnable a thing it would be for him to scandalise the Church by making any Discovery, that at last he was prevailed with to stand it out like the rest in obstinate denials, and making big protestations of innocency. Nay, that he might be sure not to confess his horrid Treasons, and give glory to God before he went out of the world, there was a Declaration, (as they called it) or Solemn Protest beforehand, published in his name, utterly denying his Crimes, and (as it were) directing him what he should say when he came to the place of Execution: so active and industrious are these Ghostly Traitors, to hid that which God will have revealed, to stifle all noise of this their detestable PLOT; as if impudent denials, and threadbare pretences of being as innocent as the Child unborn, could make us  our Senses, and never think such harmless Lambs as roman-catholics guilty of any Ill-meaning to us, till actually we find their hands imbrued in our Blood, and our Throats cut by their cruelties; as within our memory happened in Ireland, and before that at Paris, and many other places.  
He was certainly a man of good natural parts; and had he not been bewitched by that pestilent Society which disturbs all Christendom, might have been a good Subject. But they had got such an influence over him, that they led him to do what they list: his Sons were bred amongst them in Spain, that they might betimes be tinctured with Traitorous Principles; and one of them is now in Newgate on the account of the PLOT.  
As Mr. Langhorn was naturally a person of a Melancholy Temper, and a sober discreet Behaviour; so he deported himself, both during his Confinement, and in his passage to Execution, with a great deal of gravity, often lifting up his hands and eyes, and seeming to pronounce to himself certain Prayers and Ejaculations.  
He went from Newgate about half an hour after Nine, drawn in a Sled with four horses, and a Boy riding on the foremost as a Postilion. He was in a decent Black Suit, a modest Periwig, and plain Band.  
Being come to Tyburn, according to the Jesuits Directory, and usual form of his Brethren, he resolutely denied the Fact he died for; pretended a great deal of Loyalty; not forgetting to be as innocent as the unborn Babe; desired God to forgive his Enemies, and several discourses to that purpose.  
His Prayers were chief private, or with a very low voice, so that they could not well be heard by the people at a distance: but those that stood near, related, That they were in Latin; whence they were supposed to be Pater Nosters and Aves.  
Thus suffered this unhappy man, hurried on to his own Ruin, and rather choosing to cast away his Life, and venture his Soul, for the Airy conceit of being enroled one of Rome's Martyrs, than to preserve both by an honest Christian Acknowledgement of his vile Traitorous Practices, and discovery of his Accomplices therein.  
He was suffered to hang till he was quite dead, and then cut down and quartered according to the Sentence; but his Body was begged, so as not to be exposed on the City-gates, but carried away by his Friends in order to a private Interment.
