A True COPY of the PAPER DELIVERED by MARGAERT MARTELS own Hand, Before she went to the Place of EXECUTION. July the 16th. 1697. O God most Powerful, Eternal Father, for to make you an Honourable restitution, I accept most freely the Sentence of my Death, in Punishment of my Crimes, for the which you had abandoned me by a just Judgement, for having left my Religion these many Years, and professed another, in the which I always lived ill, being not obliged to declare myself to any one, who might have hindered me from following my unruly Inclination. O God of Goodness, make me sensible of the works of your Mercies, and do not Judge me in the rigour of your divine Justice, because I ought not to expect nothing from you, but severe Punishments, by reason of the multitude of my Offences, which were very enormous; Nevertheless hoping in your Goodness, and in your infinite Charity, I presume to beg of you that you, will be plesaed to give me a sincere and sure repentance; I beg of you by your most holy Name and the Love that is born for you, I beg of you again (O my God) by my Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ: By his Life and Miseries, by all his Injuries, Disgraces, and Torments that he endured by his Death, and by his Blood that was Spilt for me on the Cross. O Divine Jesus, remember that you have assured us, that you did not come for the Just but for Sinners; and that you did not seek their Death, but rather Repentance; Convert me then, O my Adoteable Saviour, I beg it of you by the infinite Greatness of your Mercy, for 'tis by that alone, which I hope to obtain Pardon and Remission of my Sins. My God, I declare before Heaven and Earth, that now I die in the Faith and Union of the Holy Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church, and I firmly believe, what it believes and teaches. O Holy Virgin Mother of Mercy, Pray for me, and defend me from the malice of Devils; O Angel, Guardian of my Soul, defend me at this hour, and do not abandon me till you have conducted me to the Throne of God. O my Adorable Saviour Jesus Christ, put your Cross, and the infinite merits of your precious Blood, between your Judgement, and my Soul: Save me, my God, for my death and my Salvation are in your hands. Into your hands my God, I recommend my Soul. Jesus Maria, Jesus Maria, Jesus Maria, Jesus Maria, Jesus. LONDON, Printed by Mary Edward's in Nevils-Court in Fetter-lane.
