He was furnish'd with a small competency of Learning, so as to Read tolerably well; and during the time he lay under Sentence (except when the failure of his Limbs, and Sickness detain'd him upon his Bed) he employ'd that Talent to the purpose design'd, in preparing himself, and his fellow Sufferers for their approaching Change. He said, he was bred up to no settled Trade or Employ; and that (his Parents dying when he about the Age of 14) he was laid under a necessity of Shifting for himself, and so came up to London , and engag'd himself in Seafaring business , and pursued it till May last; in which Month. He commenc'd that way of Life, which had now brought him to his shameful End: He own'd he had committed several Facts of the like nature with that for which he dy'd, and much about the same Spot of Ground: Robbing both Men and Women, of what Money, or valuable Things they had; but deny'd that he ever had any Accomplice or Assistant: He pray'd that the injur'd would forgive him, as well as his offended God; he was aged 27 Years, and said, that 17 of those were spent in a wicked vain way of Life: He was in all Appearance a Man conscious to himself of his Folly, and attoning for it by Self-punishment, and Condemnation. He own'd himself a Member of the Establish'd Church of Great Britain, and therein receiv'd the Holy Sacrament with Anthony Upton< no role > , who suffered with him.

He had a Wife and two Children, and his Wife near her Time with the Third. He imputed the Commission of this Fact to excess of Drink; being before that never inclin'd to Thieve or Pilfer; he hop'd that his Family and Parents would not be Reproach'd for the Errors he had committed. He said, (as did also Joseph Ward< no role > ) that he gave up his Breath very chearfully, but that he was under Concern how, and which way his Wife and Children would shift in the World after his Decease; moreover, he said, that if it now was possible for him to recommence his Life and live an Hundred Years; he could not be better prepared to meet Death than now he was. His aged Mother came the Day before Execution to visit and take her final leave of him in the Chapel.
