III. ult. The weighty Consideration of the nearer or more visibly approaching Judgment, which is privately pass'd on the Soul of every Man at his Death, and will be publickly confirm'd (and extended to his Body also) at the Last Day, when Christ shall come, attended with Myriads of Angels, to raise the Dead.

, I preach'd likewise to the Condemn'd, &c. and my Text was Numb. 35. 31. Moreover ye shall not take Satisfaction for the Life of a Murderer, which is guilty of Death: But he shall be surely put to Death.

After a general Explanation of these Words, I shew'd from them in particular,

Having enlarg'd upon all those Points, I concluded every Sermon I then preach'd to the Condemn'd with proper Admonitions to them: And here shew'd them particularly, That any wicked Act wilfully committed, whereof the Consequence might be the shedding of Blood, was Murder in the Sight of GOD; and that (according to the Apostle's Conclusion) Whosoever hateth his Brother is a Murderer; adding these peremptory Words, Ye know, that no Murderer has Eternal Life abiding in him, 1 Joh. 3. 15.

From which Consideration, I endeavour'd to make them sensible of the absolute Necessity there was for them (and accordingly exhorted them) to search their own Heart to the bottom, that they might find out their Sins (the Cause of their Troubles and Fears) and so truly repent of all they had done amiss, and of whatever Mischief their Crimes might have further been attended with, in this World; as to prevent their dismal and dreadful Effects in the World to come.

To these Exhortations they seem'd very attentive; and in my private Examinations of them, they gave me the respective Accounts following.
