Ways; and adding to all this, That I really believed she had been a very Ill-liver, and had (as I was told) done much Mischief in the World by her debauching young Men, and doing abundance of other wicked Things; for which she was now very near her being call'd to a most severe Judgment before Almighty God, unless she prevented it by a free Confession, hearty Prayers, and sincere Repentance. When I laid all these malancholy Matters before her, she groan'd, and shed some Tears, and said, I have been a great Sinner indeed: And the Lord have Mercy upon me! And this was all she said, for she would not confess any thing in particular, saving what was most plain and universally known, viz. Her Escape out of Bridewell (where she was by Order of Court, to have remain'd two Years) and the Fact for which she was now to suffer this shameful Death: To which, as she was approaching, she seemed to entertain more serious Thoughts, and grieve very much for her Sins.

At the Place of Execution (whither they were all carry'd from Newgate in three Carts this Day) I attended them for the last time. I exhorted them still more and more to stir up their Minds and Hearts (all the Affections of their Souls) to God, whom they had so much offended. I pray'd, and sung some Penitential Psalms with them, and made them rehearse the Apostles Creed; and finally recommending them to God's All-sufficient Grace and boundless Mercy, I retired from them; who at the same time spoke to the Standers-by, that were many, to this purpose: That they would take Warning by them, and so avoid such an Untimely End as they themselves were now come to, for their Sins.

After they had done speaking, they apply'd themselves to their private Devotions, for which they had some small time allotted them: And then the Cart drew away, they all the while calling upon GOD, To have Mercy upon them; to pardon their Sins, and to receive their Souls.

This is all the Account here to be given of these dying Persons, by me,
