FOURTHLY, We advised the Malefactors condemn'd to die, tho' they found by woeful Experience that Sin and Satan so ill pay their Servants, that their Wages is temporal Death; yet, by throwing off their former Master, to get free, if possible, from such wretched and lamentable Wages as eternal Death.

LASTLY, How the most heinous Sinner among them, might become the Servant of God; and as the Wages of Sin was eternal Death, might obtain the Gift of God eternal Life, thorough Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Account of the Prisoners, during their Continuance under Sentence of Death.

THE Five Malefactors, who were, (Tuesday the 19 Instant ) appointed for Death, were Regular and Orderly in their Attendance on the publick Service in the Chappel, tho' Arthur Gray< no role > had been Educated in the Discipline of the Kirk of Scotland, and James Wright< no role > This name instance is in set 3825. in that of the Church of Rome . Nathaniel Haws< no role > , whose Behaviour was so Audacious on his Trial; when the Dead Warrant was carried to the Prison, frequented, with the rest, the Publick Prayers, tho' before that, he could not be induc'd to do it, either pretending to be Sick to avoid his Duty, or being really distemper'd by his Passion and Resentment, and the Pressure of Weights, which, refusing to Plead, he had sustain'd upon his Body.

As he us'd several disorderly Houses, he said he was not long before he met with those who puts him into a Method of getting Money and Destruction, and his Wants induc'd him to hearking to their Advice. He said, that he generally aim'd at robbing Coaches, or those whose Equipage and Appearance show'd them best able to sustain a Loss: That he never would rob a poor Man, but pittied him, as much as himself: Also saying, that he had sometimes Tears of Uneasiness and Remorse in his Eyes, even when he was Assaulting a Traveller. That he often pray'd to God in a Morning, not to snatch him on a sudden out of Life, by a Fall from his Horse, or the like; but that God would allow him Time till he could recover his Circumstances, and return to
