to give an Account of the Behaviour and Confessions of the Condemned Criminals.

1. Edmund Audley< no role > , condemned for the barbarous murthering of Mrs. Bullevant, the Wife of Mr. Bullevant formerly an Apothecary in Walbrook : He pursued her and killed her in the Day time in the Street of St. Martins le Grand , shooting her with a Pistol with two Bullets thorow the Back, so that she died immediately, I told him, that by this barbarous Murther he had stained the Profession of Christ's holy Religion. He replied, that People had great Apprehensions of the Bloodness of the Fact, but that himself thought otherwise of it: for he said, that he had a Strong Perswasion that Mrs. Bullevant was a naughty Woman and in Conspiracy against the present Government. I replied, that he being a private Person ought not to have kill'd her, but to have made his ill Thoughts of her appeared in some Court of Justice. He said, he counted not the Fact to be Murther, for his Conscience stirred him up to do it. I told him, that 'twas a very wicked and devilish Act: I askt him whether any Person did hire him to kill Mrs. Bullevant? He said no. I askt him what Grounds of Malice he had against her? He replied, with Surliness, that he would not give any Account of it more than what he had said before. Hereupon I left him, after he had refused that should pray with him, as little concern'd for this Crime or any precedent part of an ill Life. Dr. Bedford, a City Minister, being appointed by the Lord Bishop of London to assist the Ordinary, did on Whitsunday, before the Doctor preach'd, endeavour to perswade him to join in the publick Worship at the Chappel, but he said he would only be directed by such who were of his own Opinion. He was conceited of his Knowledge, and discoursed not as a Phrentick Parson but behaved himself with a sullen Obstinacy at that time and since. The Omniscient God be pleased to perswade him to make a free and full Discovery of the whole Intrigue and Contrivance of this barbarous Crime.

2. William Cook< no role > , condemned for Counterfeiting the currant Coin of this Kingdom. He was a Clock-maker, but wrought upon his Trade in a Chamber. He acknowledged that he had not lived up to that Knowledge which God had given him, which made his Sins the greater; yet said nor been vicious in the Course of his Life.

3. Nathaniel Morgan< no role > , condemned for counterfeiting the currant Coin of this Kingdom. He was a Doctor of Physick , and said that he was brought up to that excellent Study at Leyden , and that he had good Practice on his Profession at London , and that for his Sins God had exposed him to the Sentence of Death: He was of considerable Knowledge in the Concernments of Religion, and wish'd that he had led a Life sutably. He was not negligent in preparing for his Death, having little Hopes of being pardoned. He took much Pains in instructing the other Criminals in the close Dungeon, who told me that they received much benefit by him. I hope that he was truly penitent.

4. Thomas Morgan< no role > , Brother to Nathaniel, condemned for counterfeiting the currant Coin of this Kingdom. He said, that it grieved him that he had not lived a stricter Life, yet he hoped that by the Sentence of Death God had brought him to a deep Sense of his Sins, and that upon the searching of his Heart he hoped that he truly repented, and had made his Peace with God his eternal Judge. He was tractable to good Counsel.

5. Aubrey Price< no role > , condemned fot ocunterfeiting an Excheque. He was a Gentleman of God Parentage, and said, that he had an Estate sufficient to maintain himself and Family; that he was very Sorry for the foolish and unjust Fact for which he is condemned. He kept the Lord's Days in the publick Worship at the Chappel constantly from the time of his Commitment. He mist not any Opportuty to prepare him for his Death, and said, if my Life may be spared, I am resolved by God's Grace to live strictly, and not to break again any known Law of the Nation. I hope he was truly penitent.

6. Robert Brown< no role > , condemned for breaking the House of Edward Freeman< no role > , Gentleman , and stealing Goods thence. He is aged 26 Years, was born in Lyn Regis ; he said, that from 8 Years of Age he went to Sea , had been in the West-Indies and in the Streights; he said, that he was drawn into Fact, that he was disobedient to his Parents, broke, the Sabbath, and had known bad Women carnally, was addicted two Swearing, Cursing and Drunkenness.

On the 22d. of June , Aubry Price< no role > , Robert Brown< no role > , and Edmund Audley< no role > were carried in one Cart, and Nathaniel Morgan< no role > , Thomas Morgan< no role > , and William Cook< no role > , in one Sledge, from Newgate to Tyburn , and being all placed in one Cart, were assisted by two Reverend Divines, besides the Ordinary, who continued a long time with the Prisoners in the Cart. And being tied up, Aubry Price< no role > said, he would make no publick Confession, he having before discharged his Conscience, as to the Matter for which he died, to the Divines who visited him in Prison. He further said, he did not come there to detect either Judge, Jury or Evidence; he was seemingly very penitent, desired Absolution from the Ministers, who told him they had given him that in Prison. Rob. Brown< no role > said, that he had been guilty not only of the Felony and Burglary for which he was to die, but of two others; That he had been drawn in by one Moody, who was with him at all the three Burglaries, declared he knew of no other Gang, and seemed very penitent. Ed. Audley< no role > seemed somewhat sullen, continued mute a long time, and being askt his Reasons for killing the Gentlewoman? said, he did it for the Common Good, but would make no other Confession as to that point; and being told, that it was supposed it was upon the Account of his being prevented in marrying a young Gentlewoman, said, it was false: He persisted in his old Fancies of a Plot against the King's Life, and to introduce the late King James, and wished he had an Opportunity to declare his Mind to the King, adding, that he knew several of the Plotters, and being desired to declare who they were? said, he would do it to none but the King. Upon his being askt in what Profession he died? Said, he died in the Faith of a Christian as revealed in Scripture, and desired to be left to his Ejaculations to God and himself; did not join in Prayer with the Ordinary, but was observed to move his Lips, but not to any articulate Utterance, however died seemingly very penitent. Nathaniel and< no role > Thomas Morgan< no role > said, they were very much trembled at the breaking of several Resolutions they had made, reflected extreamly upon the Evidence, and declared, that what they had further to say they had imprted to the Warden of the Mint. William Cook< no role > said, that he had lodged at a bad House, where the Trade of Coining was he had seen practised, but did not coin himself; but exprest himself very faintly as to the latter, and owned he knew several Persons concerned in that wicked Trade, but declined to discover them. All the Persons desired the Ordinary to give Warning to the Spectators to avoid the Sins of Sabbath breaking, keeping of bad Company, excessive Drinking, which was the Occasion of many Mens being perswaded to use unlawful Means for Gain, and to live a godly and pious Life, which he did accordingly. The Ordinary continued a long time with them upon the Cart, in praying for and with them. The Cart drew away and they were turned off.

This is all the Account I can give of this Sessions.

Dated June 22 .

Sam. Smith< no role > , Ordinary .
