amining before the Justice, (as she said) and carried all away to Ireland. As to the Crimes for which she died, she very much lamented her being led aside by bad Company, and that she had fallen into the acquaintance of Jonathan Wild< no role > , and some of his hellish Crew, who advis'd her to her own Ruin. For upon this occasion it was, that she bought up stollen Goods, and therefore she was Transported some more than two Years ago; but not content to live in Foreign Countries, she return'd to England last Year, as she pretended, out of Love to her three young Children, and being in London again, she renew'd her acquaintance with her old Friends the Ladies who deal in Shop-lifting, in which way of Merchandizing she equall'd most of her Partners, as the Evidence against her declar'd upon Oath. She pretended to 've been the Daughter of a good creditable Family, but none of those whom she call'd her Relations knew any thing of her, and therefore they would do nothing in her favour, in order to obtain a Reprieve, which she was importunately desirous in seeking after, and show'd the greatest Impatience of any I have seen in her miserable Circumstances. I advis'd her for God's sake, and the love she ought to have had to her immortal Soul, to leave off thoughts of this World and fix her Mind upon God and Eternity. She said she could do it, but spoke as tho' she had been cross'd, expressing the highest tenderness to her Children, some of whom came to visit her. I told her that God would take care of her Children, he being a Father to the Fatherless, &c. She denied herself ever to have been a Thief, but confess'd that she had bought Goods when she thought them to be a penny-worth, knowing them to be stollen, but that otherways she went frequently to Holland , and that trading between that Country and England was the way she maintain'd and provided for her Family in an honest way. When all her hopes of obtaining a Reprieve vanish'd, she carry'd herself very impatiently, and to the offence of others. For which I reprov'd her sharply, admonishing her of the danger to which she expos'd her Soul, and exhorting her in the bowels of Jesus Christ, to think seriously upon Death and Judgment. Sunday night before she suffer'd, I told her that the Gentleman she call'd her Father was lately Dead, as one who had Information told me; upon this, she cried most bitterly, reflecting in very modest Terms upon these Gentlemen whom she gave out for her Relations, who disown'd that they knew any thing of her. At this time she was much more compos'd than she had been the day before, or at any other time, and express'd a deal of Assurance of being sav'd by the Mercy of God, in Christ Jesus. She said, she freely forgave the Woman who was Evidence against her, who had been a much more wicked Wretch than her self, and (as she said) had not declared the Truth in several Particulars; and that she died in Peace with all Mankind, being truly Penitent for all her Offences; particularly, the Crime for which she suffer'd so far as she acknowledg'd her Guilt. She still affirm'd herself to be quick with Child, and thought it heard that the Child should suffer with her, but she declar'd, that she entirely submitted to the Will of God.

Katherine Fitzpatrick< no role > , alias Green< no role > , alias Boswel< no role > , 38 years of Age, (as she said) born in Lincolnshire of honest Parents, who gave her good and Christian Education, but (as appears) she did not make any good Improvement of it; For coming to London , the got acquainted with the worst of Company, and having got an Husband, (whom indeed she vindicated from being concern'd in any of her wicked Practices, adding, that upon Suspicion of her applying her self to such hellish Courses, as Thieving and Shop-lifting, he had given her many desperate Blows, and Beaten her severely,) to him she bore several Children, affirming that she was quick with Child; and when one of her Children, which was about two Years of Age, was brought to her as she was in Chapel, she fell into the most violent convulsion Fits imaginable. She was very Obstinate, and against many particular Confessions; yet by frequently inculcating and Preaching to her the necessity of Repentance, and confessing our Sins in order to obtain Pardon of God, and to Die in the Peace of the Church. A little before her Death, she was seiz'd with most violent remorse of Conscience, acknowledging herself, with many Tears, to have been one of the greatest of Sinners, that the Sentence was most just, and that God had justly brought upon her such Tokens of his Wrath and Indignation, for the many naughty Courses she had follow'd. She said, that she was afraid God would not Pardon her Sins being so Many and Great: I comforted her with the divine promise of Love, Mercy and Forgiveness; and that she as being Baptiz'd in the name of Jesus, had a right unto the benefits of the Gospel-covenant, and altho' she had Sin'd never so grievously, yet by renewing herself again by Repentance, she might still lay claim to an Interest in God and Jesus Christ. She declar'd her hope and confidence in the Mercy of God thro' Jesus Christ, and of obtaining eternal Life by his Merits. She denied not her Guilt, but complain'd that the Evidence Burton had not been ingenuous in every particularly; and that she had taken advantage of her out of Envy, now when she had betaken herself to an honest way of Living, having been resolv'd never to follow that wicked Manner of Life any more. I told her that capital Crimes might be punish'd at any time when discover'd, for their being kept secret for a time could not secure the guilty Person from Punishment, when they were made known, altho' committed a good time before the Discovery. She seem'd to be satisfy'd, having been a Woman of good natural Parts, and declar'd herself of the Communion of this Church, and that she died in peace with all the World.
