The paper delivered by William< no role > , alias George Delacore< no role > , at the place of Execution.

I Was born a Gentleman , my Father was a Quartermaster of a Troop of Horse, and a Man of a pretty good Estate. As for my Education, I was brought up to Merchandize, Apprentice to Thomas Cook< no role > of Cork in Ireland , but was led away by lewd Woman, first as to the breaking the Sabbath, and then to a habit of Drunkenness, and other Debanche ies, insomach that I denied my self nothing of sensual Pleasure: But, upon better consideration, thinking to shake off this Course of Life, I went with a small Venture to Flanders , but not being successful therein, I returned, and entered my self in a Troop belonging to the Lord of Shannon, Governor of Cork, and when King Charles II. dyed, I quitted the Troop, and came for London, doubting the Alteration the Protestants would find by the scourge of Popery. And here I married, setling in a Victualling-House , living in Credit, by the support of what Yearly my Father left me: But that being cut off, by the Troubles that have since airsen in Ireland, and Debts growing fast upon me, I, in those Circumstances, unfortunately hapned with one George Wood< no role > , who gain'd so much influence over me, as to bring me to the Commitment of the Crime I am now to Die for. Having given this satisfaction to the World, I humbly beg pardon of all those I have wronged, as I hope I shall receive the same from Almighty God for my Sins upon my departing this Life, which I trust is for a better in Heaven: But if it had pleased Almighty God to have prolonged my Days, I should, with an afflicted Heart, have repented me of my mispent Time, and redeem it, in my Duty to God and Man, to my Lives end, to the Honour and Glory of my Master, and the Comfort of my own Soul. So departing this Life in Amity, begging the Prayers of all good Christians, I recommend my self to God, concluding these my imperfect Prayers, in the words of my Redeemer, VIZ. Our Father, &c.

A Paper delivered by Charles Brooks< no role > at the place of Execution.

I Came of honest Parents, who, whilst they lived, brought me up in the Fear of God, and in the Communion of the Church of England, in which I now die, and do hope, through the Merits of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; That although I am dispossessed of this Life, I shall not be so of that which is to come. I must own I have been a great Sinner, for several Years, for which I humbly beg pardon of God. The breaking of the Sabbath lies heavy upon me, for which notwithstanding, through the Merits of Jesus Christ, I hope for Pardon: But as for Murder, I thank God I never had that in my Thoughts, but cannot excuse my self upon the account of most other Sins, for my Sins were many and grievous, though my Years have been few and evil. I beg that my sad Example may be a Warning to all that see or hear of my untimely End; therefore, for God's sake, keep the Sabbath, and serve the Lord your God, and pray that you may not come to this shame. However, I abundantly thank my Maker, That he has let me know the number of my days, even to the hour of my Departure: Fore Death, many times, comes like a Thief, when Man least expects it: I beg all good Peoples Prayers, and recommend my Soul to God that gave it, and the Lord have Mercy upon me; The Lord gave, and the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Signed C.B.

The prisoners above mentioned were put in Two Carts between Ten and Eleven in the Morning. in order to be carried to the place of Execution, but by the way, in hopes of his Amendment of Life, Thomas Kelsey< no role > received a Reprieve, and the rest were carried to Tyburn, where Horn and Delacourt, in a more especial manner, bewailed their unhappy Ends, begging Pardon of God for their manifold Offences, and of all they had Injured, confessing themselves to be great Sinners, and desiring the Prayers of the Spectators, and that they would take Warning by their untimely Ends, not to break the Sabbath, follow Drunkenness, or Evil Company, or hearken to Temptations than might draw them into Ruin. Delacourt's Wife, a young Woman, that had been married to him about 9 Months, all in Tears, came up into the Carr, and he there Exhorted to be Contented, and serve God, thas so she might Live to see happy Days; and indeed they were all of them very Penitent. The Ordinary Prayed with them, gave them the Absolution of the Church of England, seriously Exhorted them, that in this their great Extremity, they would not give way to Temptation, but lay hold on Christ by way of Faith, repeated the Articles of the Christian Faith, which they owned to be the true ground of Salvation, and Sung a psalm, in which they joined, and after they had Prayed to themselves, and Delacourt had Answered some Questions asked him by the Party he had Robbed, the Cart drew a way, and they were Committed to the Mercy of their Creator.

This is all the Account that I can give of this Session.
