, Eight Persons, viz Five Men and Three Women, who were Try'd for, and found Guilty of several Capital Crimes, receiv'd Sentence of Death accordingly, and Two others were call'd to their former Judgment. Of all these Ten Malefactors, Five being Repriev'd, viz, the Three Women for their Pregnancy, and Two of the Men by HIS MAJESTY'S Gracious Pardon; Five are now order'd for Execution.

While they lay in this dismal State of an approaching shameful Death, which by their heinous Crimes they had brought upon themselves, I constantly visited them twice every Day, either in the Condemn'd Hold, or in the Chapel of Newgate, where I read Prayer and the Word of GOD, which I explain'd to them; endeavouring (by all the proper Arguments I could draw from it) to bring them into a sense of their great Offences, and Repentance and Sorrow for them, with a sincere Desire of leaving off all their evil Ways, reforming their wicked Lives, and rectifying all things that were amiss in Thought, Word, and Deed, by the Power of Divine Grace, which they ought to implore of GOD, whose Mercy was so great towards Sinners, that he shew'd Himself always ready, upon their humble acknowledgment and forsaking of their Sins, to grant them Pardon and Life, yea, Eternal Life and Happiness with Him in Glory. This I daily laid before them.
