could be blam'd more than another, they having all voluntarily engag'd in such wicked Purposes. He declar'd himself a true Penitent, believ'd in his Saviour, and died in Peace with all Men.

William Williams< no role > , about 30 Years of Age, Born in Yorkshire (as he said) of honest Parents, who Educated him the best Way they could, to read, write, and cast Accompts; and Instructed him in Christian Principles, necessary to be known, he was not of any Trade, but follow'd the Business of a Chapman , and serv'd a Gentleman traveling the Country for him, and felling his Goods at Bath , and several other Towns and Places in the West Country . He said his Wife and he had been much Afflicted with Sickness, for a Year past, which brought them into great Poverty, and this was the only Spring and Cause of his Misfortunes; for otherwise he was in good Business for one of his Station, and needed not want to maintain both himself and his Family, for he had the Love of his Master, and other Acquaintances. He said further, that he never stole, thieved, nor robb'd in his Life, saving the Fact of which he stood Convicted, and one or two more, and all of them in Company with his fellow Sufferers, the Evidence and Seabrook not taken; who meeting with him the Friday night, communicated their pernicious Designs, and threaten'd to shoot him Dead, confirming their Threats with horrible Oaths and Imprecations, if he would not joyn them as a Companion, in their outragious Villainies: Accordingly the next Night he went along and gain'd the Halter without more ado. He was very serious, devout, and penitent. All of them received the Sacrament, with much gravity and seeming Devotion, oftener than once. Williams declar'd, that he hoped for Salvation, through the Merits of his Redeemer, that he sincerely repented of all his Sins, particularly those for which he died, and that he forgave all Injuries done him, as he expected Forgiveness from his Maker.

At the Place of EXECUTION,

MR Maynee went in a Coach, with a Mourning Coach attending him. When the Bell Man at St. Sepulcher's spoke to him over the Church Yard Wall, according to Custom, be cried a little, and was most serious at the short Prayers he used, and said Amen with the utmost Devotion: By the way he scarce spoke any thing, but held his Book in his Hand, and read godly Prayers for dying expiring Persons, and sometimes in a most devout manner said, Lord have Mercy upon me, a poor dying Sinner, Christ have Mercy upon me, Lord have Mercy upon me, and pardon my great and grievous Sins for Christ's sake. When he came to the Place of Execution, he said he had no more to add to his former Confessions, only looking towards the Spectators, he earnestly desir'd all Christians to pray for his poor Soul. George Wych< no role > said, he forgave all Mankind, and desir'd me to pray for him. Mr. Wych that Morning being ask'd by one who waited on him, if he would go in a Coach, said no, he would go in the Cart with Andrews, which he did accordingly:

John Chappel< no role > This name instance is in set 3213. said, that he repented of his great Sins, and hoped to be saved by the Blood of Christ, and desired the World not to be so uncharitable, as to believe him guilty of other Capital Crimes falsly alledg'd to him, for that he had never committed any Capital Crime, excepting the cruel Murder for which he died,

This is all the Account given by me,

JAMES GUTHRIE< no role > ,

Ordinary of Newgate.
