The Last Words of Iohn Haskins, who having lived all my dayes a Romane Catholique, & now being by Gods appointment to recom= mend my Body to the earth, & my Soule to God my Redeemer, I being troubled in Conscience, & being heeretofore told that to keepe a secrett in such a case, was meritorious, I so did forbeare, & haue concealed it till now, all- most too late to disclose it, being so neare my last breath. There is, & hath beene a rumour at this time of divers things, & all of them haue not proved false, for smoake doth allwaies arise from some heate; & now belieue me, for I shall see you noe more, that there is as much treachery in, & about London now as ever there was in any age, & that supported by noe small ones; In Coleman-streete a greate man hath an house, I wold ioy for your safety if that were searched, & the garden-house adioyning thereunto, & there you shall find our vault, which hath beene a long time making, let that be searched throughly, & there you shall find the heade-spring of all knavery; Let the close in Southwarke be looked unto, & our garden house in the upper ground, for to my knowledge there hath beene a conveyance a good while.

Thus out of a troubled mind haue I made knowne to you, who ever that shalbe I cannot tell, nor where it wilbe left. And so I end. All my honest country-men farewell. I goe unto my rest.

Iun.1. 1640 Iohn Haskins.
