oul upon, by concealing his Sins, and going out of the World in such an bstinate Hamour; with many other proper Expressions for that occasion. t length Gower confess softly in his Ear, that he was the Contriver of , but would not explain it farther, than that he took the Guilt upon himlf, and was now to dye for it, and being many times press?d as well by the rdinary as also by another Minister who was in the Cart, they could get m to own on more than that he had been the Contriver of it. Yet he dered Mr.Ordinary to Pray against; which he did, directing his Petitions to God as the All-searcher of Hearts and Thoughts of Men, that he would work a him a Confession of his bloody Crime, and not suffer him to go our of the orld in an Impenitence State, &c. That Prayer being ended, the Sheriffs fficers were earnest to hasten the Execution more than once, and were reroved be the Ordinary for being so hasty, when so weighty a Work was oing, and the Prisoner splitting himself upon so dangerous a Rock.

The other Prisoner Robinson then desired they might Sing a Psalm, blaing Gower for not Confining the Murder, saying, He would ruine his wn Soul by it: in which Psalm, both the Prisoner, seemed to Sing with ffection.

At length, when about an Hour and half was spent in Prayers, and other ndeavours, no Probability appearing of obtaining more from Gower, the Ordinary took his leave; and being going our of the Cart, several of the ta called to Gower, that he would confess whither he did, or did o, M his Wife: and seeing himself upon the very Bring of Death, e discoed some Trouble upon his Spirit, and Mr. Ordinary returening, d pr it once more, he at last plainly confess?d, That he himself did h the Pistol, and was alone Guilty of the Murder, desiring t. Ordinary to pray with him once more which je did very assenately, and in Words suitable to the Alteration of the Circumstance.

The 3d Prayer ended, the poor Penitent melted into Tears, and became Ingenious as the little time be had left gave leave, blaming the Indulnce of his Master with whom he was Apprentice, that he suffered them misspend the Sabbath-days, which was his first Step to Ruine, and that ought him into those Snares.

He confess?d he had Marryed two Wives; but being ask?d if the Wife last marryed was not consenting to the Murder, or willing it should be ne, he wholly cleared her, taking it upon his Death, That she never ew his country-Wise was so much s come to Town, but that he conved and committed it all himself.

Just at last, Robinson told Mr. Ordinary, that Jenny Vos< no role > . (a notorious ck-pocket now in Newgate under Sentence of Death, but Reprieved up pleading to be with Child, &c.) was his Wife , desired him to rememr him to her, and to desire of her she would Reform her Life; and gged that he would give her good Council, and endeavour what lay in n, to reclaim her.

Both the Prisoners then earnestly desiring the Peoples Prayers for their opy Passage into Eternity, the Cart was drawn away, and by God?s ffing, upon the painful Endeavous before mentioned, they departed s World like Men truly sensible of their Condition; and, far as Man n guess, truly penitent.
