did any little Thing about the Streets , and this was his Way of living for some Time past. He was once tried for his Life, as they say, upon Suspicion of a Felony and acquitted. He said that he never was a Thief or Robber, nor concern'd with his Brother in his Villanies. He had a Wife, but (as he said) she liv'd with another Man. He denied that he ever threaten'd to kill Waller, in revenge of his Brother's Death, as was constantly talk'd of him; or that he was near Waller that Day he was kill'd upon the Pillory. He own'd that he had been a great Swearer, Drinker, a Whoring Fellow and Sabbath-breaker, &c. He was an ignorant weak Man. Cried very much in Chappel, in Consideration of his Misfortunes. He behav'd alway decently, gravely and penitently. He at last own'd that he beat and dragg'd Waller unmercifully and barbarously at the Pillory, as was sworn against him.

He went to Church sometimes, but otherwise he was a very profane Person, a great Drinker of Drams and other Liquors, a Sabbath-breaker, and addicted to other Vices. As for the Crime he died for, he utterly denied the Fact, and made the most solemn Protestations imaginable, that he did nothing which could wrong or murther John Waller< no role > This name instance is in set 3120. . And after all could be said to induce him to a Confession, he still remained inflexible in his Denial of the Fact. He wept pretty often, and in Chappel made regular Responses, was very attentive to Prayers and Exhortations, and sung Psalms with a laudable Voice; and he read or repeated all the Prayers after me. He declared himself a sincere Penitent for all the Sins of his Life; that he believed in Christ as the Son of God and Saviour of Sinners, through whose Merits and Intercession he hop'd
