The Confession of a Papist Priest, who was hanged drawn and quartered at Tyburn, For seducing the King's people, the 26. of July 1641. and had four several names which are these, William Waler, alias Walker, alias Ward, and alias Slater. FIrst he confessed, that he had been a Papist Priest this twenty four years, and presumptuously protested, that if he wear to live millions of years, he would more & more persevere in his wickedness, and strive to seduce the people towards this religion. Secondly, he vowed and protested, that he was not at all sorrowful for his own death, for his pardon was granted him from his Ghostly father the Pope; and the last thing that stirred him up most to do it, was that he was sure to be canonised for a Saint. Thirdly, he openly protested, that all those whatsoever, which did not love and adore the Religion, in which faith he died, were damned heretics. Fourthly, he confessed how that he had been banished this kingdom of England, no less than three or four times, and still he returned again gathering souls for Rome, but at last he was hanged for his labour. Fiftly, he gave away his ink horn to one Father Grizley entreating him by his example to be constant to the sea of Rome, and employ it no worse than he had done. Sixtly, he gave his Beads to Master Crostly an Austin friar, with the like admonitions. Seventhly, he bragged that he could spit defiance in the very face of death, for he was assured that he should have what he had merited, viz. life everlasting. Eightly, he threatened his adversaries (as he termed them) with the Pope's Bull. Ninthly, he invoked the Saints that they would now at this time assist him with their aid, & pray to God for him. Tenthly, he secretly repeated over to himself his Avemaries, his salve Reginaes', with many more Popish, and damnable prayers. Eleventhly, he fitted the halter as near as possibly he could to the burr of his ear, that he might swing the easier. Twelthly, and lastly, young Gregory drove away the Cart, and left him to the mercy of the hemp. Thus beloved Christians, may you see how desperately many men will run the wrong way. I cannot see how this religion can stand with truth or reason, when the greatest part of it is grounded upon murder & mischiefs; were it not too late, I would bestow a charitable Lord Jesus receive his soul on him, expect the last day, for most of our saviour's words are accomplished: one thing in this man, for he gave us warning that we should not trust false Prophets, for in these days they should come. The manner of his execution: he was drawn upon an hurdle, with four horses, from Newgate to Tyburn, and was hanged, half a quarter of an hour, then taken down, and ripped up, and his members and bowels burnt in the fire, than his body quartered, and put in a Basket, and brought to Newgate to be parboiled. This was the manner of his execution.
