his (as by their sad Experience they could tell the World) they should now behave as Men before their Eye witness, and impartial Judge, that to sham a Repentance; but now to begin, carry on, and finish such an one, of which they will have no occasion to Repent when launch'd into Eternity. From the latter Words, Let us eat and drink, for to Morrow we die. We took occasion to refute the Sadducean Epicure, explode his Tenet, and expose his Leviathan Life, by the ample, undeniable Proof of an universal Resurrection, and a general Judgment consequent thereupon. 2dly, We show'd in three or four Instances God's great End and Design in appointing them; and then shut up all with an Application suitable to those more immediately under our Care; perswading them to look upon themselves as Men accountable unto God; (and that in a few days) not only for the Actions of Life, but for every idle wicked Word they have spoke in it; hoping that what great Truths we had deliver'd, they would embrace, and so believe that they would turn back to their Eyes upon the Scene of a wicked mispent Life, and condemn themselves for it here, that they be not Sentenc'd hereafter; that they would change their Notes; instead of Singing, Let us eat and drink, for to Morrow we die. Let us to day lye down in Sorrow, and cover our Faces with Shame, for we must in a few days meet the King of Terrors in the Face; and after he has sent us to our silent Graves; the King of Heaven will issue out his Habeas Corpus for our removal thence, in order to take our Tryals at the general an universal Assize.

The Account of the Lives of these Malefactors.

1. JOHN HORN< no role > , aged 32, convicted of assaulting, Edward Abberathoc< no role > on the Highway, between Kentish Town and Hampstead , and taking from him a Watch, and five Shillings in Money May 31 . Said, he was born at Middleton , in the County Palatine of Durham . and of honest Parents; that his Father was a Yeoman of about Thirty Pounds per Annum, and Rented some Land besides; but (the World not Smiling on his Endeavours) he was laid under a necessity of selling his Estate, to satisfy the Debts he had contracted. Notwithstanding this Failure in the World; he took care of his Son John should have a moderate Education, and in order thereto, put him under the care of a Master, who taught him to Read, Write, and cast Accompts, which he became Servant to Captain Selby of Loton in Essex ; in whose Service he continu'd a while, and thence came to London , and became Coachman to several Persons of Distinction, particularly Colonel Bladen. He said that all the Gentlemen, whom he had the honour to Serve, could, and would give Testimonials of his Fidelity and Honesty. But being for a considerable time out of Employ, and so, reduc'd to a very low Ebb of Poverty, he was hurried by mere Necessity to the Commission of the Crime for which he suffer'd; he solemnly declar'd that 'twas his first, and hop'd that God would show him Mercy, tho' he had none from Men.
