two
o'clock
He wore a peruke , and his hat upon that . He was in a dark suit , plain but rich ; and had rings upon his fingers , which I could see as he spoke . He was wonderfully upright for a man of his age ; and his face shewed no perturbation at all , though it was more fallen than I had thought . He read all his speech , very clearly , from a paper he took out of his pocket ; but as he delivered copies of it to the Sheriffs and the writers -- -LRB- and it was put in print , too , on the very same day by two o'clock -RRB- -- I need not give it here . He declared his innocence most emphatically ; calling God to witness ; and he thanked God that his death was come on him in such a way that he could prepare himself well for eternity ; but he did not thank the King for remitting the penalties of treason , as he might have done . He made no great references , as was expected that he would , to disclosures that he might have made ; but only in general terms . He denied most strongly that it was any part of the Catholic Religion to give or receive indulgences for murder or for any other sin ; and he ended by committing his soul into the hands of Jesus Christ , by whose merits and passion he hoped to be saved .
