live no longer, but TO be slain Immediately
upon the place; yet, that all men may sec
our gentleness towards thee, let us hear
what thou. vile runagate, hast to say.
FAITH. say then, in answer to what
Mr.. Envy hath spoken, never said ought
but this, that what rule, or laws, or custom,
or people, were fat against the word Of
God, are diametrically opposite to Christi
anity, If had saidamiss in this, convince
NE Of my error, and am ready here be-
fore you to make my recantation.
/ As to the second, to-wit, Mr.. Supersti.
ton, and his charge against me, said only
this, that in the worship OF God there is
required divine faith; but there can be no
divine faith without divine revelation of
the will of God. Therefore, whatever is
thrust into the worship of God that is not
agreeable to divine revelation, cannot be
done hut by human faith, which faith will
not be profitable to eternal life.
As to what Mr.. Pickthank hath said,
say (avoiding terms, as that / am said to
rail, and the like,) that the prince Of this
town, with all the rabblement, his attend
ants, by this gentleman named, are more fit
for being in hell than in this town and
country; and so the Lord have mercy upon
| me.
| Then the Judge called to the Jury, twho
all this while stood by to hear and observe, J
| Gentlemen of the jury, you see this man
| about whom so great an uproar hath been
| made in this town; you have also heard
what these worthy gentlemen have witness
| ed against him; also you have heard his re-
ply and confession; it lieth now in your
breast to hang him, or save his lite; but yet
l think meet 10 instruct you in our law.
There was an act made in the days Of
Pharaoh the great, servant to our prince,
that, lest those ofa contrary religion should
multiply and grow too strong for him, their
males should be thrown into the river
There was also an act made ir the days of
Nebuchadnezzar the great, another of his
servants, that whoever would not fall down
and worship his golden image, should be
thrown into fiery furnace. There was al
so an act made in the days of Dalius, that
whose for some time called upon any god
but him, should be cast into the lions den.
Now, the substance of these laws this rebel
hath broken, not only in thought, (which is
not to be borne, but alsoin word and deed;
which must therefore needs be intolerable
For that Of Pharaoh, his law was made
upon supposition, to prevent mischief,
no crime being yet apparent; but here is a
crime apparent. For the second and third,
Jou see he disputeth against our religion
and for the treason that he hath already
confessed he deserveth to die the death.
Then went the jury out, whose names
were Mr.. Blindman, Mr.. No-good, Mr..
Malice, Mr.. Love-lust, Mr.. Live>loese, Mr..
Heady, MIR. High-mind, Mr.. Enmity, Mr..
Liar, Mr.. Cruelty, Mr.. Hate-light, and
Mr.. Implacable; who every one gave in his
private verdict against him among them
selves, and afterwards unanimously conclud-
ed to bring him in guilty before the judge.
And first among themselves, MIR. Blind
man, the foreman, said, see clearly that
this man is hereto. Then said Mr.. No
good, Away with such a fellow from the
earth. Ay, said Mr. Malice, for I hate the
very looks of him. Then said Mr.. Love-
lust, could never endure him. Nor |,
said Mr.. Live-loose, for he would be always
condemning my way. Hang him, hang
him, said Mr.. Heady. A sorry scrub, said
High,mind. My heart raiseth against
him, said Mr.. Enlnity. He is rogue, said
Mr.. Liar. Hanging is too good for him,
said Mr.. Cruelty. Let us dispatch him out
of the woy, said Mr.. Hate hight Then
said Mr.. Implacable, Might | have all the
world given me, could not be reconciled
to him; therefore let us forthwith bring
him in guilty of death. And so they did:
therefore he was presently condemned to be
had from the place where he was, to the
place from whence he came, and there to
be put to the most cruel death that could
be invented.
They therefore brought him out to do
with him according to their law; and first
they scourged him, then they buffetted
him, then they lanced his flesh with knives;
after that they stoned him with stones,
then pricked him with their swords; and
last of all, they burned him to ashes at the
stake. Thus came Faithful to his end.
