in the Appendix to this Account. While his pretended Wife was under Sentence, in the the Time of Prayers and Sermon she commonly went to Wells, within the Chequer-Work by the Pulpit, and Wells said to her, That he wish'd her a good Journey, for he should not be long before he followed her. This was on the very Morning of her Execution. In their Discourse together they were sometimes very noisy, for which I was obliged often to reprove them, and then they were silent.

Wells had been a very wicked, profligate Youth; much addicted to vile Women, and Drinking, Swearing, Gaming, and every other destructive Vice. He seemed to be a young Fellow of tollerable Parts, and might have been capable of good Business, but was wholly void of the Grace and Fear of God, and this hastened him to the fatal Tree, the common and deserved End of such abandoned Wretches.

HE constantly came to Chapel, behaved there decently and quietly, and it is to be hop'd was a Penitent.

James Leekey< no role > , and William Robinson< no role > , were indicted for several Felonies and Robberies, particularly for a Burglary in breaking the dwelling House of Mr. Francis Wellard< no role > , and stealing from thence a large Quantity of Linnen.

3. James Leekey< no role > This name instance is in set 4113. , 24 Years of Age, his Father was a Justice of the Peace's Clerk, in Rope-maker's-Alley, Moorfields, now in the Parish of St. Luke, Middlesex, but formerly of St. Giles's Cripplegate , in which Parish he was born. He was educated at School to read, write, and cast Accompts, and instructed in the Christian Faith, according to the Principles of the Anna-Baptists, of which Profession his Father and Mother both were, and because he was no Christian, he earnestly desired to be initiated into the Holy Church by Baptism, which accordingly I administred to him, he declaring his Faith in God and Christ, and having a competent Knowledge of Religion, he was earnestly desirous to die in the Communion of our most Holy Catholick Church. He was by Trade a Jeweller , but an idle, profligate Fellow, knowing not what it was to lead a sober Life, and to apply himself to any thing that was good, but chose to keep the worst of Company, both Women and Men, who never give good Advice, but hasten their Followers to the Chambers of Death. He was a notorious Thief and Robber, coveting all he cast his Eyes upon, and unwilling to work or do any Thing that's good or Praise-worthy. He owned himself a vile Thief and House-breaker; he was convicted for a Burglary committed in Moorfields, which he did not deny, and for which he suffer'd. He was a very irregular, wicked young Man; he came always to Chapel, and apparently devout and serious in Prayers, and attentive to Instructions. He died in the Faith of Christ, and in Charity with all Men.

William Robinson< no role > , was indicted for the same Crimes with James Leekey< no role > .

4. William Robinson< no role > , about 26 Years of Age, of mean Parents in Town, who could not give him much Education; he had almost forgot his reading, but that was what he least minded. He was a very profligate Youth, never thinking upon Religion, nor going to Church, where the Knowledge of God may be had, but he liv'd as a practical Atheist. He seemed to be a vile, harden'd Wretch, refusing to make Confession, and leaving me in a hurry, seeming to despise the Fear of God, and bore no regard to Men; yet he came to own the Burglary and Thefts for which he suffered, and before he died profess'd penitence, which in Charity we may judge he had.

William Brister< no role > , otherwise Dillsey< no role > , was indicted for two Street-Robberies, one in Smithfield
