It is observed that frequent Examples of publick Justice, have not been hitherto sufficient to deter some Persons from committing very Soul Capital Crimes. The Ordinary to prevent false Stories of such, thinks fit to give this Advertisement, that the true Account of their Behaviour and Confession, (as taken by him in Writing from their own Mouths) is attested under his own Hand, which Account may be a useful Service, to reclaim Vicious Youth; by forewarning them not to fall into the same Crimes left they draw down the snare of an ignominous Death upon themselves.

This Account therefore the Ordinary now gives, that on the last Lords Day being the next Day after Condemnation, he endeavoured to make the four mentioned Malefactors sensible of their several Crimes; and withal sollicited them to look back on the whole course of their Life, in as much as the just God never leaves Sinners destitute of his preventing Grace, till they first harden their own Hearts indulging themselves in some secret Sins, thereby strengthening Vicious Inclinations in themselves, by considerable degree of Atheism, because they are not for some time Discovered and brought to publick Shame.
