The
Anti-Protestant
:
OR
,
Miles
against
Prance
.
Being
a
Solemn
Protestation
of
Miles
Prance
,
concerning
the
Murder
of
Sir
Edmordbury
Godfrey
,
in
direct
Opposition
to
a
late
Protestation
made
by
him
on
the
same
subject
.
WHereas
by
the
suggestion
of
the
Devil
,
worldly
Interest
,
and
my
own
Malice
,
I
Miles
Prance
most
wickedly
devised
an
horrid
Story
of
the
Murder
of
Sir
Edmondbury
Godfrey
,
wherein
(
being
before-hand
secured
both
of
His
Majesty's
Pardon
for
the
pretended
Crime
,
and
of
reward
for
the
Discovery
,
)
I
feigned
my self
a
Party
,
the
better
to
gain
Credit
to
my
damnable
Forgery
.
Now
I
the
said
Miles
Prance
,
do
with
unspeakable
grief
(
though
yet
not
without
a
firm
belief
of
forgiveness
from
Almighty
God
upon
sincere
repentance
)
hereby
in
the
Presence
of
the
All-seeing
and
Heart-searching
God
,
and
of
all
Holy
Angels
and
good
Men
,
solemnly
and
unfeigned
avow
and
declare
on
my
Salvation
,
That
whatever
I
deposed
upon
Oath
,
relating
either
to
my
own
Knowledge
and
Concurrence
in
the
said
Murder
,
or
to
any
other
Person
or
circumstance
touching
the
same
;
was
wholly
false
,
and
the
meer
groundless
product
of
my
own
Devilish
invention
.
For
all
which
my
detestable
wickedness
I
crave
with
a
Repentant
Heart
,
(
the
Mercy
of
God
)
Pardon
of
the
King
,
and
forgiveness
of
those
whom
by
my
Hellish
Malice
I
have
so
hainously
and
unjustly
accused
.
The
Substance
of
this
Solemn
Protestation
as
it
is
here
set
down
,
was
made
,
first
before
Captain
Richardson
Keeper
of
Newgate
;
And
the
next
day
,
before
His
Sacred
Majesty
at
the
Council-Board
,
by
MILES
PRANCE
.
