Bourke coming to England some Years ago, Ellis married his only Daughter to him, by whom he has several Children now living in a miserable Condition.

, his Eyes were almost closed up, and his Face all over with black and blue Marks, as was a great Part of his Body, by the barbarous Treatment of his Son-in-law, whom he said was a great Villain. He denied his stealing the Sheep, alledging, that Bourk did it without his Consent; yet he could not say, that it was without his Knowledge. He said, his Son-in-law, with others of his Irish Companions, often persuaded him, and in a manner forced him to the Popish Chapel, though he knew nothing of the Matter, and begg'd God and Man Pardon for his Ignorance in any kind of Religion whatsoever. He confess'd, that he had been a very wicked Liver, and died in the Christian Faith.</p>

Bourk got a Warrant against Ellis, but they were both taken up for the same Crime, and while under Sentence, they reflected much upon each other, and Bourk acknowledg'd his beating his Father-in-law often, and in a cruel manner. He was of the Romish Communion, and died therein, acknowledging the Justice of his Sentence, according to Law.</p>

, and other Places, having travelled over many Countries, according to their Custom, and spoke several Languages, and the Hebrew pretty well. He was concerned with that set of Jewish Thieves and Robbers, some of whom were lately executed. He was very obstinate, and would hear nothing of Christianity, but when any Argument was proposed from their own Bible, proving Christ to be the Messias, he wav'd the Discourse, unwilling and uncapable of giving any Answer, but persisting in Infidelity. When I spoke to him about Religion, he would make no Answer, but was mumbling and speaking upon some Hebrew Prayers and Formalities taken from the Hebrew Bible. After this, he turn'd stupid, sullen and morose, looking as if out of his Senses, having the Fears and Terrors of Death upon him. He died a perverse infidel Jew.</p>
