, 20 Persons, viz. 15 Men, and 5 Women, that were Try'd for, and brought in Guilty of, diverse Capital Crimes, together with 3 others (viz. 1 Man and 2 Women) who had abus'd former Mercies by returning to their old wicked Ways (amounting in all to 23) did receive Sentence of Death accordingly: But 3 of the Women being found pregnant, and 4 other Women, with 7 of the Men (being 14 in number) having obtain'd a most gracious Reprieve (which I hope they will take better care to improve than many others before them have done) 9 only are now order'd for Execution.</p>
<p n="4">While they lay under this Condemnation, I constantly visited them twice every day, sometimes in the Condemn'd Hold or Dungeon, but oftener in the Chapel of Newgate; where I pray'd with them, read and expounded the Word of GOD to them, and endeavour'd by proper Arguments from Reason and Religion to bring them into a state of true Repentance, that they might not perish in their Sins.</p>

I preach'd to them and others there present, both in the Morning and Afternoon, on Psal. 86. 12, 13. the Words being these: I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my Heart; and I will glorifie thy Name for evermore. For great is Thy Mercy towards me; and Thou hast deliver'd my Soul from the lowest Hell.</p>
<p n="6">From which Words, first explain'd in general, I discours'd in particular upon these Points, viz.</p>
<p n="7">I. Hell, under its various Acceptations; shewing,</p>
<p n="8">1st, That there is an Hell on Earth, which is twofold, viz.</p>
<p n="9">A Temporul Hell of Afflictions; and,</p>
<p n="10">A Spiritual Hell of Conscience.</p>
<p n="11">2dly, That there is a Hell under Earth, which is also twofold, viz.</p>
<p n="12">The Pit of the Dead, i. e. the Grave; and</p>
<p n="13">The Pit of the Damn'd, which is the Lowest or Nethermost Hell.</p>
