, Thirteen Persons (viz. Eight Men and Five Women) that were severally try'd for, and found guilty of diverse Capital Crimes, did accordingly receive Sentence of Death. Three of the Women being reported to be Pregnant, and Three of the Men having obtain'd a gracious Reprieve (which I would have them duly to consider and improve) Seven only are now order'd for Execution.</p>
<p n="4">While they lay under this Condemnation I constantly visited them, sometimes in their Dungeon, oftener in the Chapel of Newgate, to which they were brought up twice every day; there I pray'd with them, and read and expounded the Word of God to them, laying before 'em those Motives and Arguments (arising from it) which might induce them to an accurate, strict, and serious Examination and Consideration of themselves, with respect to their past Sinful Lives, their present woful Condition, and their future Everlasting State, so as to repent of all their former Transgressions and Offences against GOD and Man, to implore the Divine Mercy and Grace, and humble themselves under the Mighty Hand of God, that they might obtain his Gratuitous Pardon and Eternal Salvation, through the alone Merits of JESUS CHRIST.</p>

I preach'd to them, viz. in the Morning on Psal 19. 12. 13. Who can understand his Errors? Cleanse thou me from secret Faults: Keep back thy Servant also from presumptuous Sins: Let them not have Dominion over me. Then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great Transgression.</p>
<p n="6">From these Words (first explain'd in general) I shew'd in particular the Nature of Sin, and the different Characters under which it is here represented, viz.</p>
<p n="7">1. Sins of Ignorance and Infirmity, such as the Royal Psalmist here calls in the Text, Errors and Secret Faults.</p>
<p n="8">Price 3 Half-pence.</p>
