. But falling sick he came back to England, and intended to have returned to Flanders, on the Campaign before the last, but was prevented by sickness for the space of almost a year. He hath been inticed to lead an irregular life, and joined with bad Company, being acquainted with Lawrence Nozzel condemned now with him, for robbing the Lady Allen. He denies not that he was present in the House when it was robb'd; yet says he had no part of the prey, and that he was very civil to the Lady, and preserved her life, those who robbed her designing to have murthered her. He repents that he join'd in the said Burglary, and confest that he had taken to evil courses. He acknowledged, that God was just in bringing him to publick shame and punishment for many sins which he had committed against the checks of his conscience, and vows of amendment; particularly he confest that he did not observe the Lords day, that sometimes he swore in passion, and drank in excess. He wept and seem'd penitent, and was tractable to good counsel in order to his preparation for death, having no hope of any Reprieve, and promised that he would declare his repentance more particularly at the Place of Suffering, thereby to warn others against evil courses, that they might not bring on themselves the like destruction.

. She confest, that she had gone on in a sinful course of life, yet exprest few particulars thereof; only, that she kept not the Sabbath as she ought. That she seldom prayed, that God would give her grace to resist the evil inclinations of her heart, for which, and other sins, he justly left her to be overcome by the impure sollicitations of her Master, who, she said, was a Gardner, who took no care to provide for her, nor the Child. She pretended that it was stilborn, but it appeared otherwise at her Tryal, viz. That she drowned it in a Brewing Vessel full of water. She was little sensible of her barbarous crime, nor of any other sin, but remained stupid, as very ignorant in the concernments of Religion.

This hath made her so secure, that she came not with other Criminals, to receive good Instructions, but hath absented her self from Prayer ever since her Condemnation. So that I cannot give any account of her evil life, but must leave her to the Judgment of God.
