once a considerable piece of Service: But being addicted to evil Practices, and giving Reins to his Passions, and no Bounds to his Lusts, he followed such a wicked Course of Life, which brought him to the same unhappy Circumstances once before, being Condemn'd to Die. The terrors of Death extorted from him several Vows and Resolutions of living better, if it pleased God to restore him to his Liberty once more. But all his good Purposes prov'd abortive, for they never passed into Act; for being Pardoned by his Majesty's Clemency, he return'd to his former wicked Courses; and forsaking his lawful Wife, lived with other Women, who brought him into much Trouble. He behaved himself very sullen, would not confess his Crime, but endeavour'd to extenuate it.

Thomas Hixon< no role > , Convicted for Burglary confest his Crime, and seem'd very much concern'd for it, lamenting his unhappy Condition with a flood of Teas; and promising never to commit the same again if he were Transported. He was put in mind of the Reasons he had to suspect the sincerity of these good Purposes, and to remember the vast difference there is between things as they are only represented to us by our Fancies, and when they become actually and sensibly present to us. To which he reply'd, That he hoped God would for Christ's sake not despise his weak Resolutions, but enable him by his Grace to keep them, humbly beseeching him not to forsake him in this time of his greatest need of Comfort, but that he would be graciously pleased to be found of him at the Hour of Death and Day of Judgment, that God of Mercy and Love, which in himself he always is. He seem'd Penitent.

On Friday the 24th of May , these Persons were conveyed from Newgate to Tyburn in Carts. John Shirley< no role > , alias Davis< no role > , Philip Wake< no role > , John Titt< no role > , John Hatchman< no role > , John Cooper< no role > , Joseph Fisher< no role > , Thomas Hixon< no role > , and James Walters< no role > . And being tied up; John Shirley< no role > , confest that he did suffer deservedly, but that Wake was the Person who first perswaded him to attempt she breaking of the House by Fire. He denyed with several Asseverations, that he or any other to his Knowledge, were concern'd in the great Fire in Redlion Fields ; only that he hearing of it, came there with an intent to get what he could conveniently carry away. He seem'd terribly afraid of that Punishment which his Crimes deserved. Fear and trembling, said he, have seiz'd upon me, and an horrible Dread hath overwhelm'd me. Without is the Prospect of Death and Disgrace, and within is Guilt and Anguish; and tho' my Burden is intolerable, yet O good God! I cannot say, but it is infinitely just. 'Tis a most reasonable and righteous return for my daring Provocations of thy Justice; and much more for my vile abuses of thy Mercy and Patience. I must needs acquit and justifie thee, and have none to accuse but mine own self, for all my present Fears and Miseries. All my Life I have been sowing Wickedness, and am now brought to reap the Fruit thereof. He seem'd Penitent. Philip Wake< no role > , being indisposed, said but little: He owned himself an old Offender, who had formerly receiv'd Mercy, but would not forsake his evil Courses; he desired the Prayers of all good Persons, and Prayed God to make the great croud of Spectators the better by the sadness of such a sight. John Titt< no role > seem'd at first some what unconcern'd at his approaching End; but afterwards his Countenance changed, and he shed some Tears; confest his Crime, and desired the Prayers of all People. Joseph Fisher< no role > would not own his Crime, tho' the Evidence was possitive against him: He spent most of his time in quarreling with the Executioner, but afterwards desired all Persons to take Warning by his untimely End. James Walters< no role > confessed that he was guilty of the several Crimes he was charged with, that bad Company had such Influence on him, as to make him do those things which otherwise he had an aversion to. He Prayed very earnestly, and seem'd sensible of his State. John Hatchman< no role > wept very much, and confest his Crime. John Cooper< no role > , and Thomas Hixon< no role > said but little, but gave attention to the Exhortation that was made to them. They were allow'd some time for private Prayer, and were earnestly press'd to confess their Crimes, and take shame to themselves; which some complyed with, but others refused.

After that the Cart drew away, they were turned off.

Dated May 24th, 1700.
