At the Place of EXECUTION.

THEY all appear'd apparently, in a devout Manner. Thomas Past< no role > , upon his entering into the Cart at Newgate , addressed himself to the numerous Spectators in the Street, who were waiting their coming out, and earnestly desir'd all young People to take example from him, who was now to Suffer most justly and deservedly, for the unaccountable naughtiness of his Life; for his notorious disobedience to indulgent Parents, whose favours he had made an occasion of habituating himself to vile Company, which afterwards brought him into the Commission of those Crimes, for which his Days were in the Prime cut short. At the place, he own'd that he had been a most flagitious Sinner, but hop'd he had made his peace with God. When Prayers and all were over, he spoke to the Multitude, to the same purpose as before.

And last of all, he deliver'd a Paper clos'd up to some Person, but it was not to be open'd, till they came to the House where they carried his Body. Thomas Edwards< no role > , own'd himself to have been one of the most Villainous, naughty Boys that ever was. He wept and cry'd in great plenty, as he had frequently done before. Mr. Brown, said he had been a most wicked young Man, but that he sincerely repented of all his Sins, and hop'd for mercy from God, through the merits of our blessed Redeemer. Andrews, Smith and Faxton, had no more to add to their former Confessions, only that they sincerely Repented, and were in Peace with all Men. They went off the Stage, crying to God to have mercy upon them; and that the Lord Jesus would be pleas'd to receive their Spirits, Amen.

This is all the Account given by me,

JAMES GUTHRIE< no role > ,

Ordinary of Newgate .
