THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches of the Malefactors that were Executed at TYBURN, on Wednesday the 19th of September, 1716 .

AT the General Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-Baily, on Thursday the 6th , Friday the 7th , Saturday the 8th , and Monday the 10th of September, 1716 , Thirty-two Persons, viz. 20 Men, and 12 Women, who were Try'd for several Capital Crimes, being found guilty, did accordingly receive Sentence of Death together with another Person brought down to his former Judgment. But 17 of them (viz. 10 Women pregnant, and 7 Men) having obtain'd a Reprieve, (which I pray GOD give them Grace to improve to his Glory) Eleven of these Malefactors are now order'd, and the Five Rioters defer'd to another time, for their Execution.

On the Lord's Day the 9th instant , I preaeh'd to them and others then present in the Chapel of Newgate, both in the Forenoon and Afternoon, upon Matt. 10. 7. being part of the Second Lesson for that Morning Service, and the Words these: And as ye go, Preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Which Words, together with their Context, I explain'd and illustrated by several parallel Places; shewing, that by this Text, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, (which Christ gave his Disciples to preach upon) is meant,

I. That the Time was come when GOD had fulfill'd his Promise of the Messiah, the Laws of whose Kingdom, then going to be set up in the World, all Men were to submit to.

II. That the whole Substance and Summary of those Laws was (as the Apostle declares, Acts 20. 21.) Repentance toward God, and Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. And,

III. ult. That this comprehended all that which they were to teach, for as much as on these Two, viz.

1. Faith; and,

2. Repentance,

depended the whole Gospel, and our Salvation by it.
