A Warning to Traytors, Or a Brief ACCOUNT Of the Appredenaing, trial, Condemnation, Behaviour and Execution of William Disinie late Esq; Who was Executed for High-Treason On Monday the 25. th day of June, 1685. AT Kenington Common In the County of Surry.  
STrange it is, that this Nation whose Natives for Humanity and good Nature have been accounted of, throughout the known World, should so much degenerate in these latter Ages, as to produce a sort of Men, who are so wedded to obstinacy and grounded in Rebellious Principles, that no favours can oblige them to peaceable Obedience and honest Loyalty, nor fear of Punishment deter them from offending against the known Laws, much less induce them to a hearty compliance with their Duty and Allegiance to their Sovereign, though they are not in the least ignorant that the Laws of God and Man, most strictly enjoin it; the one under the Penalty of Eternal, and the other under that of Temporal or Corporal Punishment, nay, so restle●s& Implacable is this fanatic Generation, of Men that pretend to so much Zeal and Fervency; shrouding their Diabolical Designs and Treasonable Enterprizes under the Veil of hypocrisy, that rather than their Malice to involve us in Blood and Mischief, shall be unemployed, they will choose to Act not only contrary to the Rules of Reason, but frequently contrary to the Dictates of their own Consciences, doing those things which they are Conscious; they ought to fly and avoid, as may be observed in the practise, or wicked undertaking of Mr. Disinie whose Rashness has brought him shane and disgrace, in the following Manner.  
This Person being well descended of Loyal Parentage, so far degenerated that contrary to the known Laws in which he was Practitioner, and in favour of the Rebels now in open Rebellion; He Printed, and caused to be Printed, a Dangerous, Malicious, and Treasonable Libel, &c. To inflame, stir up, and incite his Majesties Subjects to Treason and Rebellion; to bring which to pass he had gotten him a Press and Printing materials, at his House on Lambeth Side; but as no Plots and Devices have hitherto been capable of prospering against our Gracious Sovereign, so this piece of wickedness was discovered e're it could be brought to the perfection intended, and immediately a Warrant delivered to one of his Majesties Messengers to apprehended the Partys and Papers, who accompanied with some Files of Musqueteirs, first beset the House, and then breaking open the Doors and running up Stairs they sound Mr. Disinie in his Shirt, who at their approach cried out Thieves and murder, but being secured, they found in his Breeches that( lay upon a Chair) a pair of Pocket Pistols and a Dagger with the sheathe fastened to the inside of the Pocket, and proceeding farther discovered some of the Papers, as likewise the Printing materials which were placed in a cellar that had formerly been a K tchen; when taking him and one who went for his Female Servant( but has since appeared to be his Nightly Companion) they were after due Examination and proof of the Fact Committed, and on Monday the 21th. of June, 1685. A special Commission being issued out for that purpose, they were Arraigned at the Marshalsea in Southwark for High-Treason, and pleading not Guilty, Disinie desired Council but was denied as not allowable in such Capital Cases, yet upon farther Request he had leave to make use of what Books he thought fit, to prepare him for his Defence, and time given him till the 25th. of June, 1685. When being brought to the bar and the Indictment red and opened, it appeared against him upon Oath, that he had actually Printed those Treasonable Libels, and publicly red one of them at the entertainment of some persons that came to visit him; as likewise his Intention to disperse them; together with the manner of Discovery, and finding the Libels, and printing materials, and other Circumstances so plainly Evident, that he could make little or no defence, whereupon, after a full hearing, wherein he had all the reasonable liberty imaginable to make his Objections the Jury found him Guilty of High-Treason, and he thereupon received Sentence, to be drawn upon a Hurdle to the place of Execution, there to be hanged by the Neck not till dead, but being Cut down alive, his privy members to be Cut off, his B●wels taken out and Burnt before his Face, his Head to be severed from his Body, and his Body to be divided into four quarters, and to be disposed of at his Majesties pleasure.  
After, Sentence he seemed much dejected, as being conscious of so great a Crime, by which so much mischief might have happened had not a timely Discovery prevented it; and percieving the Day of Execution( the reward of his Treasons) approached, a concluding with himself that there could not be reasonably any mercy expected for so notorious a wickedness, he began seriously to bethink him of his past sins and of a future State( appearing to such as attended him) to be much concerned that he had pulled such misery and disgrace upon himself, when he might have lived peaceably and happily had he followed his business, and much at that rate continued he till the Day, being the 29th. of June,& having taken leave of such Friends as came to pay him their last visit in the Marshalsea Prison, was put into a Sledge brought for that purpose, about Nine in the Morning, and attended with a strong Guard of the Sheriffs men and Constables, was conveyed to Kenington Common the place appointed for his Execution, appearing all the way much dejected, looking wishfully upon the People, and often lifting up his Hands and Eyes towards Heaven, continuing so to do, till he came to the place aforesaid where he was to suffer; when being taken out of the Sledge and put into a Cart, he prayed to himself a considerable time, and was prayed with and exhorted to consider his latter end, seeing there were but a few moments between him and Eternity; which done and the usual Devotion ended( he not in the least denying the Fact for which he suffered,) The Cart drew away; when having hanged a considerable time he was Cut down and quartered, &c. and his Quarters brought to Newgate, in Order to their being affixed on divers Gates of the City, &c. as a Monument of his Treason.
