HOw stupefied are these daring Wretche● who headlong hurl themselves into the snares of Death and ruin, regardless of they future states, not minding what shall happen nor the dire event that follows after such rash presumption, for sure it is, did man but know death was the certain portion of his Crimes, he would not without great caution and deliberate pause, rush forward on his pointed dart but fearless of such ill or accident of chance as they term it the sweet hopes of gain still prompts them on with thoughts of large security, and to escape at last; Which often fa●l their expectations leaves them under the pressure of offended Justice, whole dread Arm crushes them when least able to defend themselves, and cha●ns their Lives as a just expiation for offences done against the Laws both Divine and human, as may frequently be seen in these sad examples which I shall rela●e, these most remarkable w●s a● followeth, Th●m●s Sides a notorious offendor received Sentence, for that he in the Company of one John Moor had committed lately 3 notorious Robberies by breaking open the several houses of the parties whole names we here recited, viz of one John Baker a Barber, of the Parish of Great St bartholomew's, in June last, about 5 of the Clock in the Morning, they being supposed to watch the said Baker out, who being no sooner gone, but they with Picklocks opened his shop, and took 3 Pereuks, a looking Glass', 5 Razors, 3 pair of Scizers, 3 Napkins and several Cases of Silver-tipped instruments; all to the value of sixteen pounds which they undiscovered conveyed away, on the 23d following, they broke open the Warehouse of one Mr. Samuel Harris, in Bartholomew Close, Sides toking thence 11 pieces of stuff ●a ●lued at 40 pounds, and carried the same to the house of one John Grain●er, living a● three Roses in Cloth Fair, whither they being pursued, were found with it, the Prisoner having hid himself under the Bed feigning himself dead-drunk, the other was for Robbing one Charles Thomson a Barber in the Parish of St. Brides, of Razors, Scizers, Looking-Glasses, hair and Pereuks to a considerable vallues which was found hid between the Tiles and the Seiling, where they randesvoused, all these being proved Sides who had been burnt in the hand not above 2 Sessions since. Received the dreadful Sentence of Death, after which he seemed much to bewail his Folly repenting that he had given up his youthful days unto such vanity, declaring that it was lose and ext●avigant Company that had brought him to these ways, and his not regarding the good education that his Parents had brought him up in, desiring all young Men to take warning by his sad example, and not for the sake of Idleness to plunge themselves into such ways as might bring on them a shameful death; and so ended his Life w●th great Penitency and contrition.  
William W●lliams●n a Foot-pad and one of the great Gang that have so long infested the neighbouring Roads, his Crime was for Robbing Justice Northies Coach a little beyond Bow, in November last, and taking from several persons there in Goods and moneys to the value of one hundred and twelve pounds, viz a Necklace of Pearl valued at 105 pound. a Cravat, a silver hilted sword, a Scarf, and about 5 or 6 shillings in money with other things considerable, after this Robery was done they return to their randesvouse in White Chapel, and there disposed of the aforesaid Goods, pawning the Scarf for their Reckoning, Phillips and Rumley two of the Gang being already Executed, and the Robery proved against the Prisoner by one that with him in it; and he was cast and received Sentence of death, after which he for a time seemed little concerned flattering himself as it is thought with the hope of a Pardon, but that failing he began to consider how he stood tottering upon the Brink of Eternity; and that his hopes hang now but by the slender thread of Li●e the wh●ch had but a few days more to spin its Co●rse upon which had but a few days more, to spin its course, upon which he bewailed his misfortune and with a sad and heavy Countenance continued till the utmost moment of Mortality, exhorting all to repentance and for to beware of Crimes like his, etc.  
In this Fa●al Scene of Death and ruin, followed Mary Clark of St botolph's without Algate Widow, for that inhuman Act of Murdering her Bastard-Child and to her shame, add sin to sin for being secretly delivered of a Female-Infant, she with both her hands, strangled it, and kept it in her Chamber two days or thereabout, before she could have opportunity to convey it thence the which she after put into the Common Vault, where it was found and after some enquiry certified to be her Child by reason of her illness she gave suspicion to some of the Neighbours who searched her, and thereupon found she had had a Child, which she could not deny, but her excuse was that it was born dead, and that she cried out but could get no help, but upon the Statute of King Jame● she was found Guilty of wilful Murder, and Sentence of Death, after which she seemed so stupefied that it was thought she was not sensible of her condition, yet in some manner she was observed to relent, especially after she had heard the good exhortations of several pious Ministers who came to visit her with the rest.  
Samuel Gr●ffin for robing the house of a person of Quality, the goods being found about him in a house in Shoo Lane and having been an old offender, and once pardoned, he received Sentence, he was not much concerned at the near approach of death during the resort in N●wgate, but seemed obstinate, and endeavoured vindicate himself, ye at the nearer approach of that ghastly King of Terrors, he began to sigh and oft with lifted up hands and eyes send up his ejaculations, especially a little before his departure into the Regions of boundless immortality.  
James Care and Joseph Warner, alias Westwood, received Sentence of Death with the rest, the former for breaking open a House near Hounslow, and most barbarously using the people of the house, and taking thence several parcels of Goods as pewter Brass and Linen, the latter being a notorious offendor having been burnt in the hand, and known to commit several Burglaries and was now Sentanced for breaking open a House, and was this day executed with the rest.  
Jane Pool and Susannah French alias Hollis, two notorious Shoplifts who were Condemned in October last, were likewise executed, the former having her Son Executed the last Sessions, and her Daughter now lies Condemned in Newgate. They both were exceeding penitent, and so continued to the last.
