she being young and simple, he deluded her and drew her into it, before she was well aware of the Sinfulness of such unclean actions.

He moreover added, That when he work'd with his Father-in-Law (and that is above 20 years ago) he stole a Watch of a certain Person, who enquiring after it, and search being made for it among his Things, it was found there, and with it 150 Ounces of Silver, and a Silver-Porringer, which he had stoln from his said Father-in-Law. The Silver was not so presently miss'd, but the Porringer was, and he laid it upon the Maid that was then a Servant in the House, whose Name he has forgot. She was thereupon had before Sir William Turner< no role > , and he does not remember what was done with her. But now he is sorry, that he was so base as to do such a wicked thing (and that too in his Parents House) and charge it upon a poor innocent Maid, who (he fears) has much suffer'd, and may still suffer by it; it not being now in his power to make her sufficient Amends for so great an Injury.

II. Mark Harris< no role > , condemn'd for several Felonies and Robberies, in breaking open the Houses of Edward Gould Esq< no role > ; on the 30th of August 1706 ; of John Waters Esq< no role > ; about Easter 1707; of Mr. Thomas Allison< no role > , in February, 1708; and another House on the 24th day of March last ; and taking out of those Houses, Plate, Linnen, and other Goods of considerable value. He confess'd, he was guilty of all these Robberies, except that of Mr. Gould; saying, That the first he ever committed, or was concern'd in, was that in Mr. Waters's House, a long time before Mr. Gould's House was robb'd, which was twice so, viz. the first time by N. P. and J. C. and the second time by J. C. and J. H. as they told him themselves some years after, when he came to be acquainted with them. I spare naming them here at large, in hopes that they will reform: But if they do not, I may likely have them in my Papers hereafter; which I wish they would take care to prevent, by becoming honest Men in good earnest. But to return to this Malefactor now under consideration, viz. Mark Harris< no role > : He said, he was above 30 years of age, born at Newport-Pannel in Buckinghamshire , and was a Carpenter by his Trade, which he exercis'd first in his own Town and thereabouts, and then went to work at Highgate , where he liv'd 2 years in good repute. Afterwards he settled with his Family in Stepney Parish , in which he continu'd 4 years, and pass'd there among his Neighbours for an honest Man; he doing nothing there that should bespeak him otherwise. But it was his unhappiness when he lived at Highgate to become acquainted with J. C. who being a Bricklayer, and he a House-Carpenter, it once or twice fell out that they were at work together at the same House: And so in process of time, the said J. C. induc'd him to go with him and assist him in his Robberies and Burglaries; of which he said (with Tears in his Eyes, and I hope true Sorrow in his Heart) he repented, and wish'd he could make full Satisfaction to the Persons he had wrong'd, but he had not wherewithal; neither did he receive much for his part out of what was then stoln; for J. C. and others concerned with him, had the disposal of those Goods, and the greatest share therein. He desired all to forgive him, as he forgave both them who had been the wicked Instruments of his Ruin, and all others that had injur'd him; and wish'd that none would, upon the account of his vicious Life and shameful Death, reflect on his Wife, who was a very good and honest Woman, and pray'd God to bless both her and their two small Children he leaves alive behind him, with that within her Womb, she being big with Child. He own'd, that God was just in bringing this Condemnation upon him; for he had very much neglected his Service, both in publick and private, and had been guilty of Whoredom, Drinking, and Swearing; But he hop'd he had truly repented of those and other Sins, and had utterly forsaken them, and that if he were to live longer in this World, he would live a better Life. This was (he said) his present Resolution and Desire, which he pray'd to God he might have Grace to perform, had he time and space for it.

Thus much as to this Man's Confession and that of his Fellow-Sufferer, Richard Dove< no role > , while they were under my Care and Examination in Newgate.

At the Place of Execution, to which they were carry'd, viz. Dove on a Sledg, and Harris in a Cart, I attended 'em for the last time; and, according to my usual manner, pray'd with them, and made them rehearse the Apostles Creed, and sing some Penitential Psalms. When this was done, and they had spoken to the Standers-by some few Words, to the same effect as that which is contain'd in their Confessions to me, and wish'd that they would all of them take Warning by this Their Untimely End, and pray for Them while they were alive; I then recommended them again to God's Mercy, and so retir'd from them. They had some time allow'd them for their private Devotions; and after that, the Cart drew away, and they were turn'd off; all the while calling upon God, to forgive their Sins, and receive their Souls. In which they were very earnest, using many pious Ejaculations, which they utter'd so fast, that they were not all of them intelligible to those who were about them; but, I hope God heard them.

Richard Dove< no role > gave me, at the Tree, a Paper, written (as he said) with his own Hand, which containing the same in substance with what he had before declar'd privately to me, and now openly in this Place, there is no need for me to trouble the World with a Copy of it, only I shall here add his last Prayer at the end of that Paper, which is as follows.

I do freely forgive all Men. Do thou Lord forgive them also, as I do desire all whom I have wrong'd and offended, that they would forgive me. So I beseech thee, O Lord, to bless them, and do good to them for the Evil that I have done them. Have mercy on all those to whose Sins I have been any ways accessary, and give them all Grace to repent themselves, and to forgive me. O Lord! seeing my Crimes cut me off from doing good to others by my Life, let my Death be of this good use to others, that those whom my Life has led to Sin, may by my Death be led to Repentance. And that all who are engaged in the like evil Courses, seeing or hearing of my Punishment, may take Warning, and fear, and do no more so wickedly.

This is all the Account, which in this Hurry can be given of these Dying Malefactors, by me,
