dermine the present Government, thereby to raise open War in hese Nations. I endeavoured to convince them of the greatness of this Crime: Yet they would not acknowledge it; tho it was evidently proved against them at their Tryal, and they did not deny it then. I told them that altho they might extenuate the Crime, yet God is just in finding them out, and bringing them to publick punishment for their former Iniquities, in which they had securely persisted. I had some doubt whether they were Protestants: And charged them upon the hopes of their Salvation, not to tell an untruth in this respect. They affirm'd, that they were Protestants of the Church of England. I reply'd, that they had given great scandal to the profession of so holy and peaceable Religion. They said, that they were faln under very sad circumstances, through their own inconsideration. Upon this I pray'd with them, that the Omniscient would make them sincere, in what they should say to me. They joyn'd in Prayer, and seem'd affected with their condition: Whereupon, I promis'd to assist them further, in preparing them for death. They did not reject my offer, but withal told me that they had a Clergy-friend who would take care of their Souls. I wisht them to be very cautious whom they intrusted in so weighty a concernment. That no man extenuate their Crime, nor flatter them into presumptuous hopes of future blessedness. I askt the Ministers Name, they were not free to tell me, only that he was an Orthodox man, and was desir'd by some Friends of theirs to visit them. I said, That it is my indispensable duty to take care of their Souls, and I would do so to the utmost of my Power. They thankt me, and did not absent themselves from the Exhortations and Prayers in the Chappel on the Lords day. When I went from them, they promis'd me, that they would readily comply with my Advices for their eternal welfare.

, he was intic'd into this crime of clipping money, yet said not by whom; he wishes that he had continued in publick Service, and had been content with his pay; but a covetous mind to get money unlawfully ruin'd him. He confest that he had often broke the Sabbath, had been guilty of Swearing and whoredom; but he hopes that upon his repentance, God will have mercy on his Soul.

, where he hath remained eight years since. He confest that he had provoked God by many wickednesses, which grew upon him by neglecting the Service of God, especially that he prophaned the Lords day, would swear and was guilty of all sin except Murther: that he was insensible of his sinful life till he was apprehended, and cast into Prison; but since sin lies as an heavy Mountain on his Conscience, and yet he hath been in great terrors of mind: but he hopes that God will make his grief for sin sincere, and that he shall be at peace with him in Christ; that he prays for the change of his heart, and doth his utmost to procure the pardon of his sins. I hope he was penitent.
