The Ordinary proceeds to give an Account of the Behaviour and Confession of so many of them who were put into the dead Warrant, most of the other being reprieved.

On the Lords Day, they were brought to the Chappel and were placed about the Table, at the upper end, and were Solemnly put in minde, how they ought to Reflect on their former slagicious Courses which had provok'd the Lord to leave them most justly to these Crimes, which had drawn upon them the snares of Death. It is very deplorable to consider that frequent examlples of publick Justice do not restrain vicious Persons from their Excesses in Sinning, but rather an Atheistical mind prompts them to presume they shall carry their Sins secretly, and never come to any Shame, nor condign Punnishment for them. Hereupon they adventure to tempt the Lord to withdraw his retraining Grace; and being left to the hardness of their Hearts, they perpetrate the most daring Impieties, which even Heathens abstain from Committing.
