THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Friday the 28th of May, 1714 .

In the Name of which Three Persons, (who are Coessential and Coeternal, and One only GOD) the Apostles were, and all their Successors, the Ministers of CHRIST are, commanded to Baptize.

II. A Description (in particular) of the Third Person, viz. the Holy Ghost: Wherein we may observe,
