SECT. XXII.
I have heard many clamours since I came to Prison, as if that Plot (which it is called) that I am condemned for, as if all the City Ministers they were engaged in this Design, which as a dying man I tell you, That all the Ministers that were present at the meeting, and had a hand in that business for which I am to be put to death, all those Ministers, they are either in Prison, or they are discovered already; and therefore, I do here upon my death free the Ministers of the City, That those who are not yet in trouble, nor discovered to the Committee of Examinations, none of them had a hand in that business in which I was engaged, in which my conscience doth tell me I have not sinned.
