give the World a Satisfaction of their Contrition, before such time they had notice thereof, in their own Words as followeth: As also subjoyned a full Account of the continuance of the Behaviour of John Richardson< no role > , and John Tue< no role > This name instance is in set 3225. ; who sufferred the due Demerits of their Crimes at Tybourn , on Wednesday the 17th. this Instant September .

I. George Caskey< no role > , a Scotch-man; Francis Pevanson< no role > , an Italian: and Daniel Ballantine< no role > , a French-man; who were all three found Guilty, and accordingly Sentenced for the Murder of one John Teagle< no role > , a Watchman , at Rosemary-Lane ; Behaved themselves with great Remorse and Contrition for their past Crimes, and particulary the Italian, who was Born of Popish Parent; in whose Religion, it being the same wherein he was Education ated, he said he should do well to Dye. The Ordinary replied, that it was no Rational Ground of Choosing or Adhering to any Religion, to make our Parents Profession or Opinion, the Standard thereof: because the Just shall live by his own Faith, grounded on the Scriptures: that the sentiments of Progentitors as such, ought not to Model and Confine our Belief, in matters of Salvation; for that is a Humane, rather than a Divine Faith, which the Opinion of others influences upon us: and not the Authority of God, Revealed in the Scriptures of Truth. That the Prisoners Resolution to Dye in his Parents Belief, because it was theirs, and Instilled into him in his Minority, was no Rational Ground for him to be Circumscribed for adhering thereunto; for he was Conceived and Born in Sin: yet this is no Argument why he should Live and Dye in a Sinful State. Besides which, the Ordinary had a long Conference with him, inquiring of his former Life, and present preparations for his last End. As to the first, he acquainted him, that he had for 14 Years been a Souldier to the French King, in the Lord Dunbartons Regiment; that he did not willfully Kill the Watch-man, nor joyn in it; but was afraid of Loosing his own Life. That he had many ways Provoked God, for which he Desired heartily to Repent; and thereupon gave the Ordinary a very distinct and true account of the nature of Repentance: affirming that a true and lively Faith in Jesus Christ, was his encouragement to Repent: and he expected Gods Pardon, because his Heart was freely enclined to forgive all his Enemies. he said he hoped Christ Died for him. The Ordinary desiring from him a reason of that Hope, because he said he was not fondly in Love with his Natural Life, nor in any slavish fear of Death; that seeing it the Lords Pleasure he must Dye for this Fact, he doth not Repine thereat. (At which Words he Wept Bitterly:) And being asked why he Wept if he did not Repine the Sentence must take place: he replied, I weep not that I must Dye, but for all my Sins whereby I have Offended God, and count it better for me to Dye, than Live to Multiplie my Sins.

II. William Pierce< no role > , who was found Guilty of Stealing a Horse, was Born in London , and was by Calling a Chirurgeon , and had served in his Majesties Ships. He denied the Fact, but said that he Hired the Horse, for which he now Suffers, and knew not that the same was Stolen. The Ordinary replyed, it appeared otherwise upon his Trial; .and that it was not his work to receive any Extenuation of Mens Crimes, but to inquire into as the Truth of their Repentance; and labour as much as in him lay, to fit and prepare them for another World: they having forfeited all Claim and Benefit to this: whereupon he said he Blessed God, for the Merrits of Jesus Christ, through which he hoped he should be Saved, tho he had been a Sinner many ways; that in particular, he had been a Companion of ill Women; that he used to Drink to Excess: Prophance the Lords Name, in Oaths and Execration: neglect the Sabbath Day, and the observation of those Duties which he ought to have Guarded him from many Temptations, in which he had been Ensnared; that not withstanding he hoped God would Pardon him, because of the Riches of his Grace, and free Mercy in Jesus Christ, his Redeemer and Intercessor at the Right Hand of God the Father.

That he had every Hour almost since his Condemnation, Recollected himself, in the search of his Heart and ways, how evil they have been; that he might now seriously and unfeignedly Repent and return to God his Creator and Preserver.

III. Thomas Vickars< no role > , who was found Guilty in 2 Indictments for Stealing of several yards of Cloath from the Tenters in Goodmans Feilds , and other goods in the Fields by Anna St. Clare . He was Born in Bishopgsate-Street , and is now about the Age of 28 Years, and a Silk-stocking-Maker , by Trade. He faith that meeting with several disappointments in the World, his Servants running away from, him and losses ensuing, he became unable to provide for his Family or carry on his Employment, so that being under great distress and necessity he was thereby Tempted to do the Crime, for which he now suffers: It being the First of this nature that ever he was guilty of, the as to other Sins he could not excuse himself, and that Gods Judgments were just upon him for the same: And particularly he confessed with much remorse that he did not repaire to the publick Service and Worship of God as he ought to have done, making light
