           the
           memory
           of
           him
           to
           remaine
           ,
           and
           without
           all
           doubt
           ,
           that
           moved
           him
           to
           write
           the
           day
           of
           his

           and
           many
           other
           things
           :
           as
           particuler
           this
           last
           speech
           of
           his
           ,
           which
           for
           that
           purpose
           he
           gave
           a
           Copy
           to
           Doctor

           but
           to
           take
           a
           view
           of
           this
           expression
           of
           his
           ,
           where
           he
           professeth
           himselfe
           a
           Protestant
           of
           the
           Church
           of
           England
           :
           but
           what
           is
           it
           to
           say
           so
           ,
           hee
           is
           not
           charged
           for
           ,
           being
           a
           Papist
           himselfe
           ;
           but
           for
           labouring
           to
           bring
           in
           Popery
           .
           It
           may
           be
           the
           Pope
           came
           not
           high
           enough
           ,
           and
           (
           as
           some
           say
           )
           would
           have
           sent
           another
           Cardinall
           from
           Rome
           to
           have
           overtopt
           him
           ,
           and
           so
           he
           kept
           off
           for
           the
           present
           ;
           only
           held
           a
           Correspondencie
           with
           his
           freinds
           here
           :
           and
           so
           would
           have
           both
           Religions
           for
           the
           present
           to
           remaine
           .
           And
           in
           this
           ,
           he
           rather
           appeared
           an
           Atheist
           indeed
           ;
           for
           he
           was
           like
           a
           Camelian
           of
           divers
           colours
           ,
           sometimes
           punishing
           the
           poore
           Sect
           of
           Romish
           Preists
           ,
           but
           the
           fat
           ones
           he
           protected
           ;
           and
           cherished
           such

           &c.
           and
           the
           whole
           order

           the
           Iesuites
           :
           and
           feasted
           ,
           and
           adored
           the
           great
           ones
           ;
           such

           ever
           abhorred
           ,
           this
           Treason
           was
           charged

           for
           my

           shamefully
           denies
           to
           be
           guilty
           of
           the
           Treason
           proved
           against

           But
           that

           ,
           God
           forbid
           ,
           I
           understood
           them
           ,
           and
           the

           but
           I
           did
           indeed
           dislike
           some
           misgovernments
           (
