To conclude, my _Brethren_ and _Fellow-Subjects_, I must make
Profession of that Religion I was baptized, have continued, and shall
through the divine Permission die in, which is that of the _Church_
of England, and which I hope will stand and prevail against the
Malice, Devices and Assaults of her Enemies, as well those of the
_Church of_ Rome, as those equally dangerous, the Followers of
_Luther_ and _Calvin_, covered under and concealed in the specious
Bugbears of _Popery and arbitrary Power_. This my Faith I have fully
set forth in a _Poem_ of two Books, intitled, _The Christian Test_,
_or the Coalition of Faith and Reason_; the first of which I have
already published, and the latter I have bequeathed to the care of my
unfortunate but very dutiful Daughter Mris. _Mary Morgan_, to be
published by her, since it has pleased GOD I shall not live to see
it. To this _Poem_ I refer, which I hope will obviate all Cavil to
the contrary.
I freely forgive all my Enemies from the Usurper to Weir and Maddox
the infamous Witnesses in support of his Prosecution of me: And I
must also, and do from my Heart, forgive my _Lord Chief Justice_, for
his _stupid and inveterate Zeal_, in painting _my Loyalty to my King_
with all the Reproaches he had Genius enough to bestow on it, when he
passed Sentence on Seventeen at once, and which he did without
Precedent because it was without Concern.
I beg all I have offended that they will forgive me for _Jesus
Christ’s_ Sake, my only Mediator and Advocate, _To whom with the
Father and the holy Spirit_, _be all Adoration_, _Praise_, _Glory_,
_Dominion and Power for ever_. Amen.
DAVID MORGAN.
