there; till she was taught, That by the Merits of CHRIST, embrac'd by Faith and Repentance, (which I particularly explain'd to her) she might be sav'd.

11. Robert Porter< no role > This name instance is in set 31234706. , alias Sandey< no role > , Condemn'd for breaking open the House of Mr. James Deluce< no role > , and taking thence a Wastcoat, two Wigs, and three lac'd Hats, on the 2d instant . He said, he was 16 Years of Age, born in the Parish of Stepney , and for some small time serv'd a Weaver there; but leaving his Master's Service, went a pilfering. I found him very obstinate and untractable, unwilling to confess any ill thing he had done; yet when I told him, That he had formerly been convicted of a Felony, and for it order'd to the Work-house, out of which he made his Escape, he own'd all this to be true, but would say no more; nor at first receive such proper Instructions and Admonitions, as were given him, in order to bring him to Repentance and Salvation: But at last finding himself in the Death-Warrant, and so having no further Hope of Life here, he appear'd more concern'd for his Soul than before: I was not wanting in making Use of this Opportunity to bring him (if possible) to a thorough Sence of his past sinful Life, his present sad Condition, and his future Eternal State, from which he was not far off, and which would be a State either of Happiness or Misery to him, according as he did or did not sincerely repent of his Sins. This (with several pressing Exhortations I us'd to this purpose) seem'd to make some kind of Impression upon his obdurate Heart: But whether they melted it indeed into that true Repentance, which alone is available to Salvation, I shall not take it upon me here to determine: but advise them, who walk in the same wicked Paths, to repent sooner and better.

At the Place of Execution, to which they were this Day carried from Newgate in 4 Carts, I attended them for the last time, and endeavour'd to perswade them throughly to clear their Consciences, and strive more and more to obtain GOD's Grace, that they might make a good End in this World, and be receiv'd into that State of Bliss and Glory in the next, which shall have no End. To this purpose I earnestly spoke to them, and pray'd for them: Then I made them rehearse the Apostles Creed, and sing some Penitential Psalms; and finally recommending their Souls to the boundless Mercy of our Good and Gracious GOD, I withdrew from them, leaving them to their private Devotions, for which (and for their speaking to the People to take Warning by them) they had some little Time allow'd them: After this the Cart drew away, and they were turn'd off, calling all the while upon GOD, to have Mercy on their departing Souls.

Note, That William Dyer< no role > did particularly confess, That he had committed the following Robberies, viz. 1st, he robb'd a House and a Shop at Tottenham , 2dly, the Reverend Mr. Butto's House; 3dly, Mr. Allen of a Mare at Edmonton in Middlesex ; 4thly, Mr. Coward's House at Waltham-stow ; 5thly, Mr. Huvet's House; and 6thly, Mr. King's in the Parish of Greenstead ; 7thly & lastly, the House of Mr. Reynolds at Stanford-rivers in Essex . These he said, were (as far as he could remember) all the Houses he had broken and robb'd, &c. (besides those he stood Condemn'd for) since his Discharge out of Newgate in August last; and, That he never robb'd on the Highways, nor ever committed Murder.

This is all the Account I here can give of these Malefactors; Four of of whom, together with Five others mention'd in my former Papers, make up Nine out of Fifty-four that pleaded the QUEEN's Pardon in August last, who (by new-repeated Offences) brought themselves to this shameful End: Which I pray GOD may be such a Warning to those that remain, that they never return again to their Sins and Follies, but lead such a Course of Life as may be comfortable to them in this World, and (through Mercy) advance them to unspeakable Joys and Comforts in the World to come.
