That the things he was charg'd to have robbed Mr. Halon of, [viz. a Gold Watch with a Silver Chain gilt, a Gold Ring set round with Diamonds and an Emerald in the middle, another Gold Ring with a Ruby, a Gold Seal, and a Silver-hilted Sword,] were borrow'd (in a friendly manner, and with a design to be return'd to the said Mr. Halon) and not at all stoln or violently taken from him. I found he was not willing to own himself guilty of such an Unchristian like Action; neither would he be perswaded to make any Confession to me, with relation to any thing concerning himself. And when I put these Questions to him, Whether he had not perswaded his Friend to rob Mr. Halon. 2. And (which was much worse) whether he was not for killing the said Mr. Halon upon the spot? He disown'd all this very faintly; saying, That Mr. Halon being his Friend's Acquaintance, certainly he would not serve him so. However, he desir'd I would not ask him any Questions (as I did) relating either to that Fact, or any other Passage of his Life. For he was not willing, neither did he think himself obliged to resolve or satisfy me therein. And this Reservedness of his and Unwillingness to open himself freely to me, was (as I perceived) First, Because he had so long flatter'd himself with the hopes of a Reprieve, that he could hardly think of Death, even when upon the very brink of it: And Secondly, Because he had a Friend, a Romish Priest (as I may well suppose) that came to him, who gave him his Directions, and strictly forbad him to take mine. What therefore I can here say further of him is, That he told me, he was about 21 years of age, come of a good Parentage, and born in the County of Clare in Ireland, and brought up in France from his Youth in the Roman Catholick Religion, which he had all-along profess'd, and in which he was resolved to die. And so it seems he did being assisted herein by his Ghostly Father, who would not leave him till he had seen him turned off at the Place of Execution, to which he was carry'd this day in a Cart, and where (according to the Duty of my Place) I attended him with the Offers of my last Service to him, and my hearty Prayers for the Everlasting Rest and Happiness of his Soul. He civilly thank'd me; but little minded what I said to him, or how I pray'd for him. He made no Speech to the Spectators, who were many; but (upon my motion to him) he allow'd me to desire their Prayers for his Departing Soul.

Then he apply'd himself to his private ones, which he (for the most part) read in a, Book he had with him; but he read and pray'd so low, as not to be heard, even by those who were nearest him. When he had done, he was ty'd to the Tree, and soon after the Cart drawing away, he was then made sensible of his great Change, and what the State of the other World is.

This is all the Account here to be given of this Dying Person, by me,
