Dr Downame groundeth the lawfulness of them on the law of God, making the observation of the sabbaths of rest appointed by the church, such as the feasts of Christ’s nativity, passion, &c., to be a duty commanded in the law of God, and the not observing of them to be a thing forbidden by the same law.
Essex was subject to fits of deep melancholy, and had been seized with one immediately upon his commitment: he was accustomed to maintain the lawfulness of suicide: and his countess upon a strict inquiry, which was committed to the care of Dr. Burnet, found no reason to confirm the suspicion: yet could not all these circumstances, joined to many others, entirely remove the imputation.
