I putting him in mind of his having once received Sentence of Death, viz. on the 10th of March 1708-9 , for breaking open the House of Mrs. Elizabeth Copley< no role > at Stepney , and taking thence two Gold-Chains and other Goods, to the value of above 30 l. on the 19th of January before; he at first deny'd, but at last confess'd, he was guilty of it; and, that he was the only Person (besides the Receiver of those stoln Goods) concern'd in that Fact. Then I mention'd to him another of a later Date, and that was the great Robbery committed by him and others in Octob. 1709, in the House of the Right Honourable the Earl of Westmorland, for which he had also received Sentence of Death the 14th of January following, and one of his Accomplices therein had justice done him for it about that time, viz. the 16th of Dec. 1709 . Here he readily acknowledg'd his Guilt, and likewise the Justice of that his Sentence; which was not executed upon him, by reason of his obtaining then a gracious Reprieve, and some time after a Pardon; and that was upon condition, That he should within 6 Months from that time transport himself into some Parts beyond the Seas: Which as he did not; but remained all the while in England , so he was press'd into the QUEEN's Service , and carry'd to Gaunt in Flanders , from whence he deserted, and return'd hither, and to his vicious and wicked Practices; having, since that time of his Return, committed the Fact for which he is now to die, and about 8 others, which he call'd small Robberies; tho' one of them was of no less than 32 Guineas, which he and two such other Persons with him (who cheated him of his Share) took from a Gentleman that was then upon going beyond the Seas, whom they met and assaulted near Holloway , about 15 or 16 Weeks ago; the Gentleman being on Horseback, and they three on Foot.

He said, he had since his Confinement and Condemnation endeavour'd to make, and in some Cases had effectually made, Reparation to most of the Persons injured by him & his wicked Associates; being made sensible, that this was absolutely necessary for him to do, in order to his obtaining, not only their Pardon, whom he had injur'd; but God's Pardon also, who had been greatly dishonoured by his wicked and loose Life, that had of late years been attended with all manner of Lewdness and Debauchery; for which he now felt a Grief and Bitterness of Soul, much superiour to all the Pleasure he formerly had in his Sins.

At the Place of Execution, to which he was carry'd from Newgate in a Cart this Day, I attended him for the last time. I pray'd by him, and gave him such Exhortations, as I usually do in the like Cases. I made him rehearse the Apostles Creed, and sung some Penitential Psalms with him. I pray'd again, and finally having recommended him to God's Mercy, I withdrew, and left him to his private Devotions, for which he had some time allow'd him. He spoke a few Words to the People there to this purpose, viz. That he wish'd they would pray for him, and take Warning by him, who by his Extravagances and Sins, had brought himself to this shameful End. He advis'd them to be wiser than he had been, and live another Life than he had done, that they might not come to such a sad and untimely Death, &c.

Some time after this, the Cart drew away, and he was turned off; expiring with these and the like Ejaculatory Expressions in his Mouth: Lord have mercy upon me a vile Sinner! Lord I repent! Lord forgive! Lord, receive me. Open me the Gates of Heaven! Lord, let me enter in! Lord receive my Soul. Lord JESUS, receive my Spirit! &c.

In these Prayers he shew'd great earnestness and fervor of Spirit, and spoke (as it appear'd) from his Heart.

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