THE Ordinary of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Dying Words of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Monday the 11th of September, 1721 .

AT the Sessions held at Justice-Hall, in the Old Bayly, and which began on the 30th of August , were try'd and convicted of Capital Crimes, and sentenced to dye, Four Men, viz. John Meff< no role > , John Wigley< no role > , John Reading< no role > , and William Casey< no role > .

During the Time that they lay under the Sentence of Death to the Day of their Execution, they had Prayers in the Chapel of Newgate each Day in the Morning and Afternoon. I endeavour'd also, as I was capable, to explain to them those Chapters in Scripture especially, which immediately relate to Repentance and Regeneracy. And what Questions were propos'd to me, concerning the Nature of Hell Torments, the Duration and Continuance of them, the intermediate State of the Soul, and the like; I solved them to the best of my Abilities, as I hoped they offer'd them to me out of a sincere Desire to arrive at the Knowledge of the Truth, and not to gratify an impertinent Curiosity, much less to see if I was capable of Solving their Difficulties, and Answering their Objections.

On Sunday the 10th Instant, I preach'd to them from the following Words.

Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give ye Rest.

Take my Yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in Heart, and ye shall find Rest unto your Souls.

For my Yoke is easy, and my Burden is light. Mat. 11. 28, 29, 30.
