Thursday about two aclock in the afternoon; the Gentlemen came to him at times til 11. that morning; In this time his man Thomas Gage did oft raise him up in his bed, when he was in much paine, and held him up with Pillowes behind. On Wednesday he sate up three houres together in the after-noone, about two houres before his departure, he willed his man to let him lie along in his Bed, then being so laid, he lift up his hand and eyes to heaven; His man per∣ceiving that, he asked him if he were in paine; he answered, in no paine at all; He asked him againe, whether he thought he should die, and he answered, yes, and willed his man to commend him to his Wife, and not to forget his Children; After this hee betooke himselfe to prayer for an houre and a halfe, praying for his ene∣mies, and desiring God to receive his soule, and then quietly depar∣ted without groane or gaspe. About ten aclock at night there came one and wraped him in a sheet, and put him in a Coffin, and with another sheet over the Coffin; He was carried to the place where the Protestants of that City use to bury their dead, and there was buried. The Inhabitants of the place say, that there was once a Church there, but burnt downe by the Spaniards; It being a waste place, the Protestants purchased it for their burying place. It is compassed about with a broad Ditch or Moate, onely at the en∣trance there are two sides of Brick, and a large Gate betwixt them, which is kept shut, at buriall times.
