<HEAD>Truth brought to Light, OR, <HI>The La&s;t WORDS of a DYING-MAN:</HI> Being <HI>The</HI> SPEECH <HI>of</HI> William Dillon <HI>E&s;quire, Executed the twenty fifth of</HI> February, 1662. <HI>for the Death of</HI> J. Web, <HI>lately killed in a Fray in</HI> Long-Acre.</HEAD>
<P>GOod People, I &s;tand here a Spectacle to God, Angels and Men, &s;ad and deplorable (I believe) to you, but in my inward Reflections on my Regenerate E&s;tate, in my dear and ble&s;&s;ed Saviour Je&s;us, full of Spiritual Hopes and Comfort.</P>
<P>I declare my &s;elf to you all a true and con&s;tant Chri&s;tian, an Apo&s;tolical <HI>Romane Catholick,</HI> and on that account, I am parti|cularly obliged to prote&s;t that my hopes are totally and &s;olely pla|ced in the Al-&s;ufficient Merits of my glorious Redeemer, from who&s;e Merits, the Merits of Man receive their total &s;upernatural condignity and worth. To help the compleating of the Sufferings of his own Body, in his my&s;tical, I am come here to participate of his beloved Cro&s;&s;e, &s;anctified and dignified by his own mo&s;t pre|tious blood.</P>
<P>I give thanks to tho&s;e de&s;erving and charitable Per&s;ons, who de&s;ired and endeavoured my longer Life, for my better Repent|ance and amendment. But although they have failed in their Mer|ciful Interce&s;&s;ions for me, there is an <HI>Advocate with the Father, even Je&s;us Chri&s;t the Ju&s;t,</HI> who&s;e Power is infinite, to &s;ave to the uttermo&s;t.</P>
<P>As I infold my &s;elf in the Arms of his rich and embracing Mer|cy, &s;o I would be joyned with you all in his Divine, as I am in my own derived charity.</P>
<P>I wi&s;h you all good, as I &s;hould have done that very per&s;on, if known to me, for who&s;e Death I am condemned. God Omni&s;ci|ent knoweth my Innocency in that particular, being in my Con|&s;cience &s;o clear and free from that guilt, that to my knowledge I never touched the Man. May they have the benefit of the blood of Chri&s;t, who have occa&s;ioned the lo&s;&s;e of mine; and God for|give me in His, as I do them for my own.</P>
