THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Friday the 31st Day of October, 1712 .

AT the Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-Baily , Six Persons being found guilty of divers Capital Crimes, receiv'd Sentence of Death; and another (that was condemn'd to die in January last, and afterwards repriev'd) was now call'd to her former Judgment, and advis'd to prepare herself for Death. Of these Seven Persons, Two are order'd for present Execution, and the other Five respited from it.

All the while they lay under this Condemnation, I endeavour'd to perswade them to think of the Judgment to come, so as to avoid the Severity of it by a sincere Repentance of all their Sins, and a lively Faith in Christ. And the better to dispose them to this great and important Duty, besides my Praying with them, and reading and expounding the Word of GOD to them publickly in the Chapel twice every Day, I frequently discours'd and examin'd them in private, giving them particular Instructions and Admonitions suitable to their respective Cases and Capacities.

On the Lord's Day the 19th instant , I preach'd to them both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon Rev. 9. the former part of the 20th Verse, the Words being these: And the rest of the Men, which were not kill'd by these Plagues, yet repented not of the Works of their Hands.

Which Words I first explain'd in general, with their Context, and then laid down this Proposition arising therefrom, viz.

That notwithstanding the visible Judgments of GOD inflicted upon some Sinners, others that are spar'd often neglect themselves to that degree, as to take no Warning by them, nor in the least endeavour to prevent their own Ruin and Destruction, by their repenting and forsaking of those very Sins, for which they have seen Others severely punish'd.

To illustrate this Proposition, I observ'd,

I. The Strangeness of such Impenitence, consider'd in Common Reason.

II. The Frequency of it in Common Experience.

III. and lastly, The lamentable Consequence of it, in the final Destruction of such obstinate Sinners, as would not be perswaded, nor compelled, to reform their Lives, either by the Mercies shew'd to them, or by the Judgments laid upon others.
