a long Time, and by this Imprisonment having lost what little Credit he had before, when he was set at Freedom, he apply'd himself with his Accomplices to the counterfeiting and passing off bad Money, and for that end provided himself in Moulds, Files, Crucibles, and other Materials fit for his wicked Purpose, as appear'd by the Evidence which was given against him. He was miserably Poor, sick, and destitute of Cloathing. He constantly attended in Chappel, behav'd himself Gravely and decently, and profess'd himself Penitent for all his Sins. He was very unwilling to forgive his Prosecutor, and shaking his Head, when that was propos'd to him, at different Times, he said, that he would not do till the last; accordingly, on Saturday before he died, with much Intreaty, I got him freely to forgive all his Enemies. He declar'd, that he believ'd in Christ his only Saviour, repented sincerely of all his Sins, and died in Peace with all the World, and in Communion of the <rs type="occupation" id="OA17290324_occ6">Church of Rome</rs>

in the Country. He had been accustomed to pilfering and stealing of small things, but had not committed any great Robbery, excepting the Horse which he stole, and for which he died, and which he did not deny. He was Disobedient to his Parents, and did not keep the School well, was grosly Ignorant, and seldom frequented the Church. He was Silly and Foolish, and spoke like one void of all Sense. I endeavour'd what I could to instruct him, but he was of such a slow and dull Apprehension, that he was scarce capable of understanding any thing at all. He constantly attended in Chapel and appear'd attentive, but was so full of Stupidity, that it could not be expected he could profit much. He declar'd himself Penitent, that he believed in Christ, and died in Peace with all the World.</p>

, where he serv'd for two Years past, till he fell into the sad Misfortune, for which he died. He said, that he never was a lewd Liver, but kept a good Family with his Wife and Children in the Country, read the Word of God, went to Church, and that he had frequently taken the Sacrament; neither was he ever a Thief or Robber, but that he always liv'd in good Character and Reputation. As to the Fact for which he died, he said, that he did not steal the two Horses, but that he own'd that he gave the Key of the Stable to another Person, who had gone off with the Horses, by the Persuasion of two Men. I told him, that he had no Body to blame but himself for his Misfortune, if it was so, but this Account of the Matter seeming improbable, I exhorted him to make a free Confession, and to glorify God by so doing. He would not acknowledge any more, but as I daily visited him in the Cell, (for he was so afflicted with Sickness and Lameness, that he never came to Chapel) he appear'd very Devout, and was very attentive to Prayers and Exhortations. He died Penitent in appearance, believ'd to be sav'd only through the Merits of Jesus Christ, freely forgiving all Injuries done him, as he expected Forgiveness from Almighty God.</p>
