Seite 232 - Algernon Sydney, hold up thy hand," said the clerk of the court. Sydney obeyed. And the usual question was put if he had any thing to say why judgment of death should not be passed against him. " My lord, I humbly conceive I have had no trial,
Seite 233 - I wish with all my heart you would consider your condition ; but if your own ingenuity will not provoke you, nothing I can say will prevail with you to do it. If the King's general pardon, in which you had so great a share of the King's mercy, will not, I could wish that, as a gentleman and as a Christian, you would consider under what particular obligations you lie to that gracious King that hath done so much for you. I should have thought it would have wrought in you such a temper of mind as to...
Seite 234 - I beseech thee to sanctify these sufferings unto me, and impute not my blood to the country ; let no inquisition be made for it, — but if any,— and the shedding of blood that is innocent must be revenged, — let the weight of it fall only upon those that maliciously persecute me for righteousness sake.
