use of sick persons who desire the holy 

 sacrament. 



"As for my religion, I die in the holy 

 Catholic and Apostolic faith professed by the 

 whole Church before the disunion of East and 

 West, more particularly in the communion of 

 the Church of England, as it stands dis- 

 tinguished from all Papal and Puritan innova- 

 tions and as it adheres to the doctrine of the 

 Cross. I beg pardon of all whom I have any 

 way offended and I entirely forgive all those 

 who have any way offended me. I acknow- 

 ledge myself a very great and miserable sinner, 

 but die in humble confidence that on my 

 repentance I shall be accepted in the beloved. 

 I appoint my nephew William Hawkins to be 

 my sole executor of this my last will and 

 Testament who I know will observe the direc- 

 tions punctually which I leave for my burial.
