A
true
Declaration
of
the
happy
conuertion
,
contrition
and
godly
preparition
,
of
Francis
Robinson
Gentleman
.
DYing
mens
wordes
are
euer
remarkable
,
&
their
last
déeds
memorable
for
succéeding
posterities
,
by
them
to
be
instructed
,
what
vertues
or
vices
they
followed
and
imbraced
,
and
by
them
to
learne
to
imitate
that
which
was
good
,
and
to
eschew
euill
.
But
such
is
the
depraued
and
corrupt
nature
of
all
Mankinde
,
and
Sathans
subtilty
(
mans
mortall
enemy
)
that
dayly
goeth
about
,
and
laboureth
by
all
meanes
possible
he
can
,
to
blindfolde
vs
,
stopping
vs
out
of
the
way
wherein
God
hath
appointed
vs
to
walke
,
and
the
example
of
Gods
children
that
haue
trod
out
the
way
before
vs
.
Oh
how
much
do
these
our
daies
wherin
we
now
liue
(
shew
vs
the
too
true
experience
of
the
same
)
that
multitudes
for
company
sake
,
conioyne
themselues
in
all
maner
of
mischiefe
,
and
runne
in
heapes
with
delight
,
to
commit
most
abhominable
sins
,
presuming
on
Gods
patience
,
because
he
doth
not
presently
punish
,
saying
in
the
pride
of
their
hearts
,
and
glory
of
their
wicked
sinnes
,
Doth
the
Lord
sée
,
marke
,
or
regard
the
déeds
and
actions
,
of
the
sonnes
of
men
?
No
,
they
say
tush
,
He
regards
them
not
:
And
thus
the
Deuill
by
this
meanes
,
gets
holde
of
multitudes
,
and
bringes
them
in
the
end
,
to
shame
,
hell
,
and
destruction
;
for
the
reward
and
wages
of
Sinne
is
death
.
Let
me
now
my
worthy
Country-men
,
present
vnto
your
view
,
the
experienced
reward
of
sinfull
delights
,
which
latey
befell
a
Gentleman
by
name
Francis
Robinson
,
well
descended
,
educated
,
and
fostred
tenderly
,
who
happening
into
euill
company
,
quickly
,
by
the
lewde
examples
,
and
dispositions
of
others
,
was
brought
to
be
as
wicked
,
and
as
bad
as
themselues
,
for
the
Deuill
doth
make
wicked
men
to
doe
,
what
he
cannot
doe
himselfe
(
that
is
)
to
bring
men
to
sinne
and
shame
,
by
lewd
mens
inticings
,
examples
and
directions
,
to
doe
as
they
doe
,
to
walke
in
their
steps
and
wayes
of
wickednes
,
merrily
to
passe
away
their
times
and
dayes
whilst
here
they
liue
,
by
which
tossing
,
carousing
,
and
iollitie
of
life
,
they
become
altogether
forgetfull
of
God
,
and
the
meanes
of
their
saluation
,
which
to
redéeme
from
the
Iawes
of
Hell
,
a
whole
world
and
to
late
repentance
then
small
auailes
.
Remember
O
yée
youthfull
Gallants
now
your
Creator
in
the
dayes
of
your
youth
,
and
cast
not
off
the
yoke
of
God
from
your
necke
,
when
you
are
young
,
least
he
reiect
you
,
when
your
strength
and
eye-sight
faile
you
;
that
is
,
in
your
olde
age
:
learne
to
tread
now
the
pathes
of
his
holy
wayes
,
if
ye
would
be
assured
to
come
to
the
place
of
his
euerlasting
happines
,
for
the
Lord
hateth
,
and
vtterly
abhorreth
all
the
workes
and
workers
of
sinne
and
iniquitie
:
but
those
that
loue
and
feare
him
he
maketh
much
of
them
.
That
you
shall
see
,
and
say
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psalme
58.
verse
10.
Doubtlesse
there
is
a
God
that
Iudgeth
the
Earth
,
that
he
is
a
iust
God
and
loueth
righteousnes
,
and
hateth
iniquitie
,
repaying
vengeance
vnto
them
that
delight
in
the
same
,
my
ensuing
sequell
shall
declare
vnto
you
:
example
doth
daily
testifie
,
and
at
this
present
confirmes
the
same
.
I
pray
God
the
wanton
and
roaring
Gallants
of
this
our
Age
,
may
by
them
be
warned
,
but
much
it
is
to
be
feared
they
will
not
:
If
they
will
not
,
let
them
take
héede
as
they
goe
for
company
,
they
hang
not
for
company
,
wherat
,
for
ought
I
doe
perceiue
they
make
a
scoffe
and
scorne
,
to
thinke
in
that
manner
of
dying
they
dye
valiantly
,
when
that
it
is
indéed
most
desperate
,
deuillish
and
damnable
,
and
sauours
no
whit
of
the
least
sparke
of
Gods
grace
,
but
of
contempt
of
God
,
and
the
ripe
fruit
of
Sathans
bondslaues
,
which
is
to
commit
sinne
,
and
to
boast
and
bragge
of
the
same
,
to
be
the
full
height
of
a
reprobate
soule
,
from
which
good
Lord
deliuer
vs
all
.
Now
to
confirme
you
how
this
Gentleman
,
as
he
himselfe
related
to
me
,
fell
,
obserue
what
followeth
.
SO
soone
as
euer
he
was
brought
into
the
Gaole
of
Newgate
,
he
looked
round
about
him
,
and
earnestly
entreated
those
that
stoode
by
him
,
to
take
heede
of
Papists
,
and
euill
company
,
for
they
were
the
cause
of
his
destruction
.
From
the
Lodge
he
was
conuayed
by
the
Keepers
into
the
common
Gaole
,
where
he
remained
some
two
houres
,
on
Tuesday
the
tenth
day
of
Nouember
,
from
which
side
he
was
remoued
to
the
Maister
side
by
Warrant
,
from
the
right
Honorable
Sir
Henry
Mountague
,
Lord
Chiefe
Iustice
of
England
,
who
for
the
same
was
most
hartily
and
humbly
thankfull
,
and
counted
it
,
as
well
it
did
deserue
,
a
great
fauour
from
my
Lord
,
there
to
sequester
him
,
the
better
to
prepare
and
fit
him
for
his
end
.
And
that
no
meanes
might
be
wanting
to
worke
that
good
worke
in
him
of
repentance
,
contrition
,
and
assurance
of
his
saluation
,
like
a
good
Samaritane
that
Honourable
and
religious
Iudge
,
as
hée
had
wounded
him
by
denouncing
his
iust
Iudgement
of
deserued
death
,
which
is
to
flesh
and
blood
most
fearefull
and
vnwelcome
,
yet
such
was
his
Honorable
care
towards
him
,
which
is
worthy
of
remembrance
,
what
lay
in
his
power
hee
did
to
comfort
him
,
and
in
nothing
more
appeared
the
same
,
then
in
the
sending
of
my
painefull
Brother
and
fellow
labourer
in
Gods
worke
(
Maister
Pricket
)
who
did
most
grauely
and
wisely
apply
to
his
distressed
soule
(
such
comfort
)
as
that
I
doe
constantly
beléeue
,
the
lost
sheepe
was
brought
home
againe
to
the
folde
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Whereof
most
constantly
Robinson
said
,
he
was
assured
:
for
the
spirit
of
God
did
inwardly
confirme
the
same
to
him
,
vndoubtedly
to
beléeue
it
,
of
which
most
comfortable
words
and
effectuall
working
,
we
were
most
glad
,
and
ioyfull
,
that
to
our
weake
meanes
,
God
rich
in
mercy
,
had
giuen
and
sent
such
a
blessing
and
cooperation
.
Thus
séeing
our
industrie
and
labour
begin
to
prosper
to
the
glory
of
God
,
the
sauing
and
winning
to
God
a
sinfull
soule
,
I
was
bolde
to
put
my
Sickle
into
another
mans
Haruest
,
and
bestowed
likewise
my
poore
willing
paines
and
industry
:
with
what
they
were
I
haue
here
published
,
and
what
effect
they
tooke
,
I
praise
God
,
I
laboured
not
in
vaine
,
but
found
a
hungry
and
thirstie
soule
,
apt
and
ready
,
to
receiue
them
from
my
hands
,
and
the
fruites
thereof
,
repentance
,
contrition
,
and
faith
.
A
relation
how
we
spent
Wednesday
Euening
,
being
the
eleuenth
of
Nouember
.
SO
soone
as
euer
I
came
vnto
him
,
he
did
like
a
poore
,
sicke
,
and
wounded
Patient
,
desirous
of
cure
,
tell
his
whole
griefe
,
not
mincingly
or
sparingly
,
but
faithfully
and
truly
,
that
I
might
the
better
apply
and
endeauour
to
comfort
him
,
the
beginning
of
his
euils
he
tolde
me
,
and
how
hée
grew
worse
and
worse
by
degrées
,
the
manner
he
related
,
and
as
néere
as
I
can
from
his
owne
mouth
spoken
,
deliuered
here
the
same
.
Wherein
as
himselfe
obserued
we
may
sée
the
nature
Our
conference
.
HIs
lamentable
downefall
thus
begun
,
the
which
,
O
London
,
would
take
notice
of
(
namely
)
that
he
forsooke
God
first
,
before
God
forsooke
him
,
at
which
wordes
he
much
lamented
,
that
the
Deuill
had
so
blinded
and
deluded
him
,
to
forsake
and
deny
the
profession
(
and
faith
of
the
Church
of
England
)
to
embrace
and
cleaue
vnto
the
Hereticall
doctrine
of
Romish
Popery
,
which
are
but
lying
vanities
,
and
vaine
shaddowes
,
no
way
substantiall
for
the
maine
ground-worke
of
a
Christian
mans
saluation
.
An
in-sight
,
whereinto
after
it
pleased
God
to
be
so
mercifull
to
grant
him
,
hée
from
the
bottome
of
his
heart
renounced
,
(
that
false
and
Antechristian
Church
of
Rome
)
sorrowing
nothing
more
for
any
thing
,
then
for
that
time
,
that
in
that
Church
hée
had
béene
a
member
,
and
reioycing
and
ioying
in
nothing
more
,
then
that
God
had
opened
his
eyes
to
sée
his
former
errors
,
and
to
giue
his
heart
and
soule
a
light
,
with
earnest
desiring
and
thirsting
to
be
accepted
againe
,
into
the
company
of
the
true
and
faithfull
beléeuers
of
the
Church
of
England
,
which
his
soule
did
assure
him
vndoubtedly
was
the
true
Church
of
God
.
His
Progression
.
WHen
there
was
warrant
out
for
his
apprehension
,
Darby
,
and
hearing
that
there
was
waite
laide
for
him
,
posted
thence
some
sixe
miles
,
but
had
not
the
power
any
further
to
trauell
,
but
returned
to
Darby
,
to
goe
and
Iustifie
his
foule
fact
,
which
by
the
narrow
looking
into
,
and
examining
of
a
Lawyer
there
inhabiting
,
with
whome
he
was
at
variance
,
his
designes
were
discouered
.
When
he
was
thus
discouered
,
and
sent
vp
to
London
to
the
right
Honourable
the
Lord
Chauncellor
of
England
,
by
whom
he
was
examined
,
and
vrged
to
confesse
,
that
his
foule
fact
of
high
Treason
:
stood
stoutly
in
the
deniall
of
the
same
.
But
hée
that
sitteth
in
Heauen
laughed
him
to
scorne
,
and
most
wonderfully
disclosed
the
secret
of
his
heart
,
and
his
foule
fact
,
whereof
he
thought
none
should
haue
knowne
,
for
being
re-examined
by
the
right
Hon:
Sir
Henry
Mountague
Knight
,
Lord
chiefe
Iustice
of
England
,
to
him
as
formerly
he
did
,
denyed
his
foule
fact
,
but
behold
héere
how
the
hand
of
God
laide
holde
on
him
,
and
how
the
eye
of
God
was
watching
ouer
him
,
and
disclosed
him
,
by
deliuering
a
Key
to
Humphrey
Smith
,
to
goe
to
a
Truncke
,
wherein
his
counterfeit
Commission
was
,
and
diuers
other
writings
.
It
pleased
Almighty
God
,
who
teacheth
all
mens
hearts
wisdome
,
that
the
right
Hon:
the
Lord
Chiefe
Iustice
thus
bethought
himselfe
,
to
know
the
truth
,
séeing
as
yet
he
could
get
no
knowledge
,
he
set
spies
to
watch
those
that
had
accesse
vnto
him
,
to
finde
out
by
them
,
this
foule
fact
,
which
most
miraculously
by
the
carefull
examination
of
Humphrey
Smith
(
by
that
graue
Iudge
Sir
Heury
Mountague
)
came
soone
to
light
thereof
,
who
tolde
his
Hon:
of
a
Truncke
of
writings
:
which
so
strangely
discouered
,
Robinson
thereat
was
greatly
amazed
,
thinking
it
a
thing
impossible
to
be
knowne
at
all
to
any
;
who
when
that
he
saw
he
was
discouered
,
betooke
himselfe
(
of
an
obstinate
denyer
)
to
become
an
humble
,
contrite
,
and
sorrowfull
confessor
of
what
he
had
done
,
and
implored
mercy
and
fauour
at
honourable
persons
hands
,
of
whome
he
little
deserued
the
same
.
But
he
out
of
his
most
Noble
disposition
,
denyed
not
any
the
least
of
his
requests
,
and
humble
suites
,
but
buryed
all
his
former
vndeseruings
,
in
the
bowels
of
pitty
and
compassion
,
grieuing
to
sée
what
a
most
wretched
course
he
had
runne
,
that
the
Iustice
of
the
King
,
and
his
Lawes
,
did
iustly
challenge
his
deserued
deoth
.
Nay
further
note
and
consider
I
pray
you
,
for
these
were
the
wordes
procéeding
out
of
his
owne
mouth
:
how
God
did
make
his
owne
wisdome
to
be
foolishnesse
,
therewith
to
laugh
himselfe
to
scorne
,
that
presuming
he
had
some
sound
iudgement
and
true
knowledge
in
the
Law
,
vpon
which
hée
too
much
built
and
relyed
,
for
his
knowledge
therein
,
was
but
the
flash
of
pride
&
presumption
:
for
when
the
right
Worshipfull
,
graue
,
wise
and
learned
in
the
Law
(
Sir
Henry
Yeluerton
his
Maiesties
Atturney
Generall
)
heard
,
said
,
that
his
intention
,
made
the
Law
to
take
holde
on
him
,
he
thereat
was
silenced
,
and
confessed
his
blindnes
,
and
ignorance
,
and
that
his
eyes
were
shut
,
and
heart
infatuated
euen
vnto
the
day
of
his
tryall
,
in
which
it
pleased
God
to
reueale
to
him
,
his
grosse
mistaking
of
the
Law
,
and
guilt
in
this
his
foule
fact
,
which
when
he
well
and
plainely
perceiued
;
he
then
remembred
that
portion
of
Scripture
which
he
formerly
had
read
in
the
3.
Chap.
of
Ieremy
,
which
stroake
remorse
of
conscience
in
him
,
and
that
the
whole
world
might
take
notice
that
the
Iudgements
of
God
had
ouertaken
him
,
aduisedly
coated
the
place
recited
for
memory
,
that
men
should
feare
to
offend
in
the
like
case
,
least
they
come
to
haue
in
the
end
the
like
reward
for
their
paines
.
Lastly
,
he
confessed
the
person
,
and
first
occasion
that
drew
him
to
commit
his
foule
fact
,
which
was
(
Couetousnes
)
the
foundation
of
all
mischiefe
.
And
lodging
at
the
Swan
at
Charing
Crosse
,
there
he
grew
acquainted
with
one
(
Morgan
a
Romish
Catholicke
)
whom
he
tolde
of
his
thirsting
after
money
,
who
then
shewed
the
fruites
of
his
Religion
,
to
bring
by
his
wicked
deuice
,
the
body
of
this
Gentleman
to
his
destruction
,
and
(
had
not
God
in
his
great
mercy
preuented
the
same
destroyed
)
his
soule
also
,
for
he
went
the
right
way
thereunto
,
by
crafty
seducing
of
him
to
become
a
Papist
.
And
thus
,
he
leauing
and
forsaking
his
God
,
and
Religion
,
his
sodaine
downefall
afterwards
happened
,
the
which
he
heartily
prayed
to
Almighty
God
might
teach
,
warne
,
and
terrifie
others
from
the
like
attempt
:
and
thus
spake
that
morning
a
little
before
hée
receiued
the
most
holy
and
blessed
Sacrament
,
of
the
Supper
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
(
said
▪
)
that
Morgan
did
seduce
him
first
,
from
his
Religion
,
and
after
that
,
his
heart
was
inclinable
to
receiue
,
what
Morgans
poysoned
tongue
of
mischiefe
would
speake
,
of
which
kinde
of
people
and
their
Religion
,
hée
desired
all
people
to
beware
and
to
flye
their
Doctrine
,
it
tending
onely
to
mischiefe
and
destruction
.
His
great
desire
of
giuing
satisfaction
so
farre
as
he
could
,
to
those
whom
he
had
greatly
offended
.
HIs
God
and
Creator
,
hée
acknowledged
most
highly
by
his
foule
fact
to
haue
offended
,
and
for
attonement
he
fully
relyed
on
the
meritorious
death
and
passion
of
Iesus
Christ
.
The
Kings
most
excellent
Maiestie
in
a
most
high
nature
he
had
offended
,
for
which
he
was
heartily
sorrie
,
and
craued
pardon
,
willing
to
render
vp
his
life
,
acknowledging
his
death
to
be
deserued
;
and
further
saying
,
that
if
he
were
neuer
so
much
to
be
tortured
,
he
deserued
the
same
,
and
contentedly
embraced
the
same
,
that
so
his
Maiesties
iust
wrath
might
be
appeased
.
Of
all
the
people
in
generall
,
he
heartily
craued
pardon
,
that
he
had
beene
a
Runnagate
from
their
blessed
Societie
,
heartily
desiring
their
prayers
vnto
Almighty
God
for
him
.
And
those
from
whom
he
had
,
by
his
deceitfull
meanes
,
and
guiles
,
gotten
away
any
mony
,
he
to
his
power
(
of
my
knowledge
)
laboured
to
giue
satisfaction
,
sorrowing
that
hee
altogether
was
disabled
,
to
doe
what
his
hearts
desire
was
.
Thus
(
deare
Country-men
)
I
finding
a
wandring
shéepe
,
and
distressed
soule
,
wanting
cure
,
and
care
,
séeking
,
and
earnestly
destring
to
be
brought
home
againe
,
from
whence
he
had
strayed
,
I
set
vnto
him
my
helping
hand
,
and
now
publish
vnto
thée
,
how
in
the
sweet
Pastures
of
Gods
word
,
this
wandring
shéepe
,
was
directed
,
fed
,
and
comforted
,
by
praying
sometimes
,
and
meditating
at
other
times
,
on
these
sequent
portions
of
Scripture
,
out
of
which
,
I
thanke
God
,
he
receiued
great
comfort
,
and
we
Gods
Labourers
,
richly
rewarded
for
the
same
:
That
we
confidently
beléeue
,
our
labour
was
not
in
vaine
with
him
,
but
wee
haue
brought
home
againe
the
lost
Shéepe
to
Gods
Church
here
on
earth
,
and
to
his
triumphant
Church
in
Heauen
.
The
prayers
wherein
he
was
exercised
day
and
night
.
O
Lord
my
God
,
in
thee
doe
I
put
my
trust
,
let
me
neuer
be
confounded
.
Amen
.
OOmnipotent
,
and
most
mercifuil
God
and
Creator
,
great
is
thy
mercy
in
mans
creation
,
for
thy
mercie
excéedeth
all
thy

,
in
the
mercifull
preseruing
of
man
,
who
without
thy
blessed
ayde
,
would
suddainly
come
,
and
quickly
slide
to
vtter
confusion
,
didst
not
thou
in
thy
great
mercy
and
prouidence
daily
preuent
the
same
.
Behold

,
I
humbly
pray

the
worke
of
thy

hands
,
and
looke
vpon
me
,
with
the
eye
of
thy
aboundant
mercy
,
that
so
thereby
thy
wrath
and
fury
which
iustly
by
my
manifolde
sinnes
and
transgressions
I
haue
deserued
,
may
be
appeased
;
the
remembrance
of
the
multitudes
whereof
afflicteth
me
so
sorely
,
that
I
can
finde
no
peace
or
rest
at
,
for
they
are
a
weight
too
heauie
for
me
to
beare
:
I
am
ready
to
faint
,
and
fall
vnder
them
:
O
send
me
Lord
Iesus
power
from
aboue
,
to
helpe
and
support
me
,
that
I
faint
not
,
and
finally
fall
vnder
them
.
Come

O
my

Sauiour
,
come
quickly
,
and
powre

O
stablish
my

with

for
in

,
O
Lord
my
God
,
I
finde
no
comfort
at
all
,
my
conscience
doth
so
accuse
me
,
and
thy
iudgements
doe
so
affright
me
,
that
without
thou
in
thy
aboundant
mercy

(
O
Lord
)
I
vtterly
perish
.
Haue
mercy
vpon
me
,
O

and
according
to
the

Forsake

O

A

O

to

maketh
me
detestable

To

my

are
wandring
whilest
I

Pleade

for

Another

presumed
of

euasion
:
but
by
his
grauety
and
wisdome
he
so
confuted
him
,
that

of

being

conuinced

,
and
prayed
most
heartily
vnto
God
,
to
continue
and
to
increase
such
happy
Guardians
to
his
Maiesties
peace
,
and
weale
publike
of
this
whole
Realme
.
His
owne
relation
of
the
beginning
and
proceeding
in
his
foule
fact
,
spoken
the
same
morning
a
little
before
he
went
to
his
execution
.
NOt
long
had
hee
béene
acquainted
with
the
fashions
or
Citie
of
London
,
for
he
had
not
béene
in
London
aboue
foure
times
before
that
time
he
did
put
in
practise
his
detestable
fact
:
his
suites
,
places
,
and
persons
,
were
not
of
meane
degrée
,
such
was
his
ambition
:
But
to
the
Kings
most
excellent
Maiestie
and
his
Royall
Court
hee
wholy
adressed
himselfe
,
and
by
petition
▪
and
helpe
of
others
his
Maiesties
attendants
,
moued
his
Maiestie
for
a
Commission
and
protection
,
vnder
his
Maiesties
hand
,
and
great
Seale
of
England
,
concerning
the
reforming
of
the
diuers
abuses
,
of
Uictualers
,
Maulsters
and
Usurers
,
hauing
not
long
before
heard
,
a
Petition
was
preferred
for
reformation
of
some
such
abuses
.
He
thereupon
conceiued
presently
,
that
this
was
a
fitting
subiect
for
him
to
worke
on
,
to
get
thereby
money
to
supply
his
wants
▪
and
to
satisfie
his
greedy
minde
▪
though
he
bought
it
in
the
end
at
a
most
deare
price
and
rate
.
For
the
better
contriuing
and
effecting
of
his
determination
and
purpose
,
he
got
an
accomplice
by
name
Morgan
with
whom
he
got
first
acquainted
,
at
the
Swan
at
Charing-Crosse
,
and
from
thence
both
of
them
remoued
to
the
signe
of
the
Mayden-head
at
Saint
Giles
in
the
Fields
,
where
hee
tolde
Morgan
his
Companion
,
his
Designes
were
plotted
,
and
resolued
of
,
what
should
be
by
him
afterward
put
in
execution
,
which
truly
so
it
happened
.
And
presuming
too
much
vpon
that
small
vnderstanding
and
knowledge
he
had
in
the
Law
,
of
himselfe
drew
the
forme
of
a
Commission
,
and
thereinto
inserted
to
make
it
beare
the
more
validity
,
the
names
of
diuers
worthy
Attendants
about
his
Maiesties
Court
and
most
Royall
person
,
to
them
from
his
Maiestie
directed
,
in
his
Maiesties
name
to
aske
,
cease
,
leuie
,
and
receiue
in
foure
seuerall
Shieres
in
this
Kingdome
,
certaine
seuerall
summes
of
money
,
according
to
the
tenure
of
their
Commission
,
to
them
from
his
Maiestie
directed
.
This
forged
Commission
being
by
him
alone
inuented
,
and
trecherously
deuised
,
brought
it
to
a
Scriuener
in
London
,
where
hee
had
the
same
ingrossed
,
and
without
the
knowledge
or
priuity
of
any
,
did
put
thereunto
a
counterfait
great
Seale
,
for
the
true
great
Seale
of
England
,
and
so
by
vertue
thereof
,
though
none
at
all
there
was
,
did
aske
,
leuie
,
and
receiue
at
seuerall
sittings
in
Commission
,
though
no
lawfull
authority
he
had
thereunto
,
the
summe
of
twenty
eight
pounds
and
fiue
pence
deceitfully
,
of
the
Kings
liege
people
.
And
this
he
did
for
the
space
of
a
moneth
continue
and
procéede
,
not
thinking
of
the
all
séeing
eye
of
Almighty
God
,
that
would
discouer
him
,
and
suddainly
confound
him
,
and
his
most
wicked
deuice
,
whereof
when
he
least
imagined
,
or
suspected
,
euen
then
bewrayed
his
treacherous
heart
and
detestable
fact
.
After
the
time
of
his
apprehension
for
this
most
detestable
and
foule
fact
,
behold
how
stedfastly
he
stoode
in
the
Iustification
of
the
same
,
and
vsed
the
name
of
a
worthy
Knight
,
Sir
Robert
Maxwell
,
to
say
he
had
his
priuity
and
help
therin
,
(
of
which
)
he
in
the
least
manner
was
not
acquainted
;
and
for
which
his
most
false
and
vniust
aspersion
on
him
,
at
the
time
of
his
death
,
on
his
knées
,
and
salt
teares
fast
trickling
downe
,
most
humbly
,
and
heartily
craued
,
his
frée
pardoning
of
him
for
the
same
:
and
said
,
it
was
the
Diuels
inticing
of
him
,
to
doe
what
he
did
(
namely
)
that
foule
and
filthy
treacherous
déede
of
his
,
and
that
which
did
much
afflict
and
terrifie
his
soule
,
more
then
Death
it selfe
,
whose
grim
countenance
he
did
behold
so
to
accuse
an
innocent
guiltlesse
,
worshipfull
,
and
worthy
Gentleman
,
that
thereby
himselfe
who
onely
was
guilty
of
that
foule
fact
,
might
be
fréed
;
whereof
God
in
his
Iustice
would
not
approue
,
nor
be
so
deluded
,
but
brought
him
the
plotter
,
contriuer
,
and
actor
of
villany
,
to
receiue
his
iust
reward
for
the
same
,
that
the
mischiefe
by
him
pretended
,
to
light
on
others
,
did
at
the
last
fall
on
his
owne
pate
.
And
the
net
and
snare
which
hee
had
priuily
layd
,
and
secretly
spread
abroade
to
intrap
another
,
therein
himselfe
was
ensnared
.
And
thus
he
concluded
:
Let
all
take
héede
,
and
beware
of
couetousnes
,
content
themselues
with
that
they
haue
,
labour
honestly
with
their
hands
for
their
owne
liuing
:
for
the
honest
and
industrious
Labourer
,
God
will
for
euer
blesse
,
but
they
that
doe
trust
in
lying
vanities
,
to
get
wealth
by
deceitfull
meanes
and
wiles
,
let
them
know
,
said
hee
,
that
though
God
for
a
while
forbeare
them
,
yet
his
Iustice
requires
to
render
vengeance
to
them
,
as
iustly
on
me
now
he
hath
done
.
Like
a
Lambe
going
to
the
slaughter
so
went
he
vnto
his
death
,
prepared
before
to
suffer
the
same
,
willingly
,
patiently
,
and
ioyfully
:
and
our
confidence
is
such
of
him
,
that
he
is
receiued
into
the
Fold
of
that
most
blessed
heauenly
Flocke
,
whereof
Iesus
Christ
,
the
great
Shéepheard
of
vs
all
is
the
keeper
and
defender
,
and
into
which
number
,
the
Lord
Almighty
in
his
aboundant
mercy
giue
grace
to
all
,
daily
so
to
prepare
themselues
,
that
in
the
end
they
may
be
found
worthy
thereof
.
Amen
.
The
conclusion
.
THus
deare
Country-men
▪
haue
I
exercised
your
patience
,
and
boldly
presumed
to
incurre
your
censures
,
for
the
zeale
that
I
beare
to
the
soules
of
men
,
destring
,
and
daily
hartily
praying
to
Almighty
God
,
that
his
downefall
may
make
all
others
wary
,
and
carefull
to
flye
sinne
,
the
reward
whereof
,
and
to
the
delighters
therein
,
you
haue
heard
.
And
although
God
in
his
mercy
deferres
to
punish
,
expecting
mens
conuersion
,
which
if
they
doe
not
in
his
expected
time
,
hee
payes
home
in
the
end
,
such
their
neglect
of
him
,
with
most
fearefull
and
vnrecouerable
downefalls
.
