He came to Chapel the first Sunday he was under Sentence, and only once or twice more, but behav'd well, being attentive and serious; he was grievously afflicted with Sickness and Weakness. At first he inclin'd to extenuate his Crime, but upon my urging and representing to him his heinous Sin, he acknowledg'd the Justice of his Sentence, and that he suffer'd most deservedly. He believ'd in Christ, was penitent for the Offences of his Life, especially what he dy'd for, and was in Peace with all Men.
