3. Mary Day< no role > , condemn'd for two Burglaries, in breaking open (and taking several Goods out of) the Houses of Mr. Samuel Andrews< no role > , on the 24th of June last , and of Mr. Robert Stedman< no role > on the 3d of July following. She own'd, That she was concern'd in those Robberies, and acknowledg'd also, that about five years ago she was burnt in the Cheek at the Old-baily, for a Fact which deserv'd that Punishment; but solemnly declar'd, that abating these two Facts for which she is now condemn'd, she had ever since that time liv'd an honest Life, and work'd hard for her own and her Children's Livelihood; and that of late, her Employment was to buy and sell old broken Glass-Bottles , &c. She said, she was 33 years of age, born in the Parish of St. Giles's Cripplegate , London , and had liv'd in that Parish for the most part of her Life; but, to her great sorrow, had much neglected going to Church and hearing the Word of God; which she was sensible was the cause of her falling under the Temptation of the Devil, and being too easily engag'd in his Work, for which he paid her now her Wages with Shame and Death.

4. Ann Harris< no role > , condemned for breaking open a Chest of Drawers in Mr. Newell's House, her Master, and going away with several things that were in it. She all-along deny'd her breaking open that Chest; but confess'd, That finding it unlock'd, she took out of it 16 Guineas, a Silver Watch, 6 Silver-Spoons, 3 Tea-Spoons, a Halfcrown & 6d. in Silver; That she carry'd all these Things to a certain Woman, with whom she lay in Southwark , after she had committed this Robbery (which she said was about 10 Months ago:) That both she and that Woman went then to Portsmouth , and there sold two of those Spoons at a Goldsmith's Shop, and had 20 s. for them: That the said Woman her Accomplice (for she knew what she had done) let her have 15 s. and no more, and then gave her the slip, and went away with all the rest; she not knowing whither, otherwise than that she heard she was gone to Plymouth. Upon which this Ann Harris< no role > returned to her Friends who liv'd at Canterbury , and from thence came to Dulwich , where she was known and apprehended. She said, she never was guilty of any ill thing before (meaning such a Fact as deserved Death by the Law) and that she had behaved herself well and honestly in several Services she had been in about London , for 12 years together; viz. first with a Ginger-Bread-Baker in Aldgate ; Then at a Victualling-House in Horsey-down in Southwark : And afterwards at another Victualling-House in Bedford-bury in St. Martin's in the Fields ; at each of which Places she stay'd about 4 years, and never wrong'd any of her Masters; till she came to live (about a Twelve-month since, or something more) with Mr. Newell in the Hay-market near St. James's , where she had not been two full Months before she stole the Things above-mention'd out of her Mistress's Chest of Drawers. She told me, that she was abont 31 years of age, born of very just and honest Parents at Canterbury ; and, That she little thought once, that she should ever come to do such a thing as should bring her to such an untimely and shameful End; But Opportunity and want of Grace had let her fall under this Temptation. She wish'd others might take Warning by her, and avoid all manner of Sin, lest one single Fault should prove their ruin, as it do's hers, who could not charge her self with any thing (besides this Crime) that the Law of Man could punish. But she acknowledg'd at the same time, that God was just in all his Dealings with her; for she had not lov'd and serv'd Him as she should have done.

This Consideration was now Matter of Grief to her, as it was also to the rest: Who wish'd (all of them) that they had spent their time better; That they had done more good and less evil.

In this disposition they seem'd to be very cheary to spend their time in Prayers and Meditations, and shew'd a great desire to obtain God's Pardon and Eternal Life.

This day being come, which was appointed for their Execution, they were carry'd from Newgate (in two Carts) to Tyburn , where I attended them, and dischag'd my Ministerial Office to them for the last time. I pray'd and sung some Penitential Psalms with them, and made them rehearse the Apostles Creed. I exhorted them to stir up their Hearts and Affections to God more and more, and earnestly to call upon Him for Mercy; which they did, and seem'd to be earnest therein. They desir'd me to speak for them to the Spectators, That they would take Warning by their Fall, and pray for their departing Souls. Which done, we return'd again to Prayer, and after some further time spent in it, I withdrew from them, commending them to GOD's unbounded Mercy and Grace, and so left them to their private Devotions, for which they had some few moments allow'd them. Then the Cart drew away, and they were turn'd off, all the while calling upon GOD to receive their Souls.

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