and lift up their Hearts to God, I ask'd them whether they had any thing more to say, for the Satisfaction of the World, the Ease of their own Minds.

They answer'd me, That they had nothing more to say, but desired the Prayers of the Standers by. Only Arthur Chambers< no role > and Richard Morris< no role > told me (as they had done the Day before) That the Informations by them given to Mr. Billers, were true; and particularly Chambers said, That he had done wrong neither to the Living nor the Dead, in that Information of his which relates to the Riot in May-Fair , where Mr. Cooper, the Constable, was basely murthered, some Years ago; in which he declared, That Thomas Cook< no role > , the Butcher of Gloucester (who suffer'd for it) was concerned. This, together with other Circumstances relating to that matter, do now abundantly convince me, That notwithstanding Cook his positive (Denial in which he dy'd) was most certainly guilty of that barbarous Murther; and it heartily grieves me to think, that he went so out of the World, and that I was so charitable as once to believe him innocent of that Fact; because I suppos'd a Man could not be so wretchedly desperate, as upon any Worldly Consideration whatsoever, to die with a peremptory Lie in his Mouth, and so carry a guilty Conscience into another World: Which it seems was his miserable, yea, more than can be express'd miserable Case. And I hope others will take care to avoid the like.

But to return to these Dying Persons when they were ty'd to the Tree, I pray'd with them, and then singing of some Penitential Psalms, and after rehearsing the Apostles Creed, I wish'd them that Eternal Life which they had profess'd to believe; and recommending them heartily to the Mercy of our good God, I left them to their private Devotions, for which they had some time allow'd them. Then the Carr drew away, and they were turn'd off, they all the while every one of them calling upon God with these and the like Ejaculations. Lord, have mercy upon me! Lord, I come, I come. O Lord receive my Soul, &c.

This is all the Account here to be given of these Dying Persons, by PAUL LORRAIN< no role > , Ordinary of Newgate .

Friday, December 13 1706.

??? Whereas some Persons take the Liberty of putting out of Sham-Papers, pretending to give an Account of the Malefactors that are Executed; in which Papers they are so defective and unjust, as sometimes to mistake even their Names and Crimes, and often misrepresent the State they plainly appear to be in under their Condemnation, and at the time of their Death. To prevent which great Abuses, These are to give Notice, That the only true Account of the Dying Criminals, is that which comes out the next Day after their Execution, about 9 in the Morning, the Title whereof constantly begins with these Words, The ORDINARY of NEWGATE his Account of the Behaviour, &c. In which Paper (always Printed on both sides the better to distinguish it from Connterfeits) are set down the Heads of the several Sermons Preach'd before the Condemned: And after their Confessions and Prayers, and Atestation thereto under the Ordinary's Hand, that is, his Name at length; and at the bottom the Printer's Name, Dryden Leach< no role > ; which if the Readers would but observe, they would avoid those scandalous Cheats so constanly impos'd upon them.
