THE DEPORTMENT AND SPEECH OF THE GERMANE PRINCESS Before her Execution at Tyburn, January 22. MDCLXXII.  
MARY CARLTON, commonly known by the Name of the Germane Princess, being brought from the marshalsea in Southwark to Justice-Hall in the Old-Bailey, in order to her Trial for several Crimes and Misdemeanours formerly committed by her, was accordingly Arraigned at the Bar on Thursday the Sixteenth of this instant January, and on Friday the Seventeenth was Indicted for stealing a piece of Plate from an Inhabitant in Chancery-Lane, to which Indictment she pleaded Not Guilty; but upon full Evidence was found Guilty, and so to avoid the Sentence of Condemnation, pleaded her Belly. Whereupon a Jury of Women was Impannell'd, and after long and serious Consultation and Debate they brought her in Not quick with Child; so that she was sentenced to Die (according to Law in such Cases provided) on Wednesday following, which was the Two and Twentieth instant, and accordingly went Carted to Tyburn in order to her Execution.  
As to her deportment in Prison the said day of her designed Execution, she was found in a far more quiet and calm posture than the night before, and better fitted for Death, according to all humane conjecture; hearty desiring her expected and deserved dissolution. And herein to be just to her, she did show the absolute symptoms of a true Penitent; for her Ejaculations were as pious and pathetical, as her former Life had been enormous and criminal. She did voluntarily upon her own account, without any instigation from a second person, confess the heinousness of her Sins; though withal she desired that the Spectators and Auditors would be so much friends to Justice, as not to give credit to all vain Rumours that were reported of her. A Pardon she did declare, neither to expect, nor desire: Death she had deserved, and was very willing to undergo that hard and heavy task; and withal that she was fully satisfied in all particulars, and fit to taste of that bitter Cup. When she heard the Bell at St. Sepulchers Toll, she used this Expression: This is my Passing-Bell, Lord Jesus I am coming to thee. There is no person knows what it is to be under the terrors of the Almighty, but those that have felt them. O my Saviour! I am coming. Lord strengthen me; Lord step between me and poor weak Nature. O how doth Nature cling to me, and is unwilling to leave me! It was a trouble to me at first to die, but now I have overcome it, and am satisfied.  
One thing she herself took notice of, and acquainted the Company withal of her own accord, telling them it deserved their Observation, viz. This day (being the day of Execution) was the day of my Baptism: I was Born on the 11th of January, and Baptised on the 22th; to which she added this Zealous, passionate and Christian like Expression; This day I was Baptised, and before night I expect to be sprinkled with the blood of the Lamb, which is a second Baptism. 'Tis true, (though 'twill hardly be believed) that this vicious Woman, guilty of such gross Immoralities, did die well satisfied and unconcerned, with a Resolution and Courage beyond the weakness of her frail Sex. Her Sister, (and another Relation to whom she commited the care of her decent Burial) were present with her immediately before she went to Execution, lamenting her sad and deplorable condition; she desired them to be satisfied as she was, and not to mourn and shed tears; for that did but exasperate her grief, and increase her trouble. As to her Religion, she did declare before her departure that she was, and would die a Roman Catholic, as she did undoubtedly. And thus she was committed to the Cart; and when she came to Tyburn, after she had devoutly prayed with a cheerful and unalter'd Countenance, she desired to know whether she might speak to the People. To which a Person there present replied, Your voice is low and will not be heard by the multitude here present, but if you will acquaint me with your desire, I will discourse it to them afterwards. Then she began a short Speech in these words following.  
YOu will make me a Precedent for sin. I confess I have been a vain Woman; I have had in the World Glory and Misery in abundance; and let all People beware of ill Company. The World hath condemned me, and I have much to answer; pray God forgive me, and my Husband likewise. I beseech God lay nothing to his charge for my fault.  
Thereupon a Person that was there present asked her this question. Have you any thing to your Husband? To which she modestly replied; Only my Recommendations; that he would serve God and repent; for I fear he wants sober admonition; and I beseech God lay nothing to his charge on my account. And what wrong I have done him, I hope he will forgive me, I forgive him. To which one made answer, then so in perfect Charity you die with all the World? And she replied very seriously, Yes, I do; and so with many devout Ejaculations, such as, Lord Jesus receive my soul! Lord have mercy upon me! frequently reiterated and repeated, she departed this life.   
FINIS.
