of devotion, such as reading, praying, and singing of Psalms.

Margaret Larney< no role > This name instance is in set 1302. , being again exhorted to acknowledge the justice of her sentence before she was taken out to execution, again protested as a dying woman, that Diamond never saw any thing of guilt by her to the value of a pid, in the matter he swore against her.

They approached the place of execusion, singing of Psalms, in which exercise they continued some time, till they were called upon to offer up their last prayers, in which they all heartily united for about half an hour, desiring particularly the 130th and 139th Psalms to be read to them, and then they sung the 142d Psalm to gether, Richard Pensum< no role > raising and guiding the tune with great spirit and composure; and here also he declared repeatedly to the people about him, that he knew nothing of the robbery he was to die for, but suffered for taking the part of a lewd woman in a quarrel she fell into in the street, A loud warning this to avoid the company and snares of lewd strumpets and street-walkers. He warned all thectators against drunkenness and ill company, while Carrier, Downs and Head bid them beware of coveting what is not their own, for this was the beginning of their ruin. In the mean time Downs, by the violence of his fever and the cough gotten by lying bare and uncovered in the cell, seemed little bitter than a dying man, abstracted from his impending fate.

Thus after each of them had expressed their satisfaction and thankfulness for all the care and pains laid out on them, and especially for these last good offices, and being again earnestly recommended to the mercy and protection of Almighty God, they resigned themselves to their punishment, calling with their last breath on the Lord Jesus to receive their Spirits.

This all the Account given by me,
