had done amiss, and asked Pardon of God and Men. They desired the Standers-by to take Warning by them and pray for them.

After this I withdrew; and having commended them to God's Mercy, left them to their private Devotions, for which they had some time allow'd them. Then the Cart drew away, and they were turn'd off; while calling earnestly up on God, to have Mercy upon their Souls, in these and the like Ejaculations. Lord pardon my Sins, Lord have Mercy upon me, &c.

This is all the Account here to be given of these Dying Persons, by

??? Whereas some Persons do frequently 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 heretofore constanly impos'd upon them.
