Another Man; And, as a Great Casuist says, hazarding our own Life to rescue our Neighbour?s, supposing, the Robber certainly design?d his Death.

THIRDLY, Love as Brethren. Or, Be Loving or Charitable to the Brotherhood. For so a Learned Commentator tells Us the Word will signify. The way the Malefactors were to show their Charity, or to give Gifts, was, By Helping their Fellow-Prisoners in Reading or Praying; By Giving some Good Advice to the People when they arriv?d at the Place appointed for their Deaths; and by Forgiving All whom they might fancy had done injuriously by Them.

FOUTRHLY, Be Pitiful, Be inclin?d to Softness, and Tenderness of Heart, when others fall into Distresses and Calamities.

The Account of the Prisoners while they lay under Sentence of Death.

During the first Fortnight or longer after their Condemnation; their Behaviour was sober, and seemingly Devout; but afterwards, finding the Time for their Deaths was protracted, and would happen no Body knew when, their Behaviour alter?d on a sudden; and (as it has always happen?d in the like Case) they could not be any longer induc?d to consider Themselves as Persons appointed to dye; but sometimes rais?d Tumults and Quarels with the Strangers, most in the Place for Divine
