And now he said, That he was very sensible that for all his unjust Practices, into which he had so foolishly suffer'd himself to be deluded, and by which (as it often happens) he had got but little (not 6 l. in all, he said) he justly deserv'd the shameful Death he was now condem'd to; and thereupon begg'd Pardon of GOD, and of the Persons he had wrong'd, earnestly imploring the Divine Mercy, thro' the Merits of JESUS CHRIST. And to this his Confession (which he had before told me was all he had done of this nature) he did (for the clearing of the Truth, and his own Conscience, as he pretended) add this, " That he was the only Person who robb'd Mr. James " Boys upon the Queen's High-way between

With that I startled him, but yet could not make him plainly confess, that
