Dreadful Account OF THE Horrid murder of Mr. Tilly, And the Narrow Escape of his Wife, at the Boors-Head in LAMBETH, on Monday the 14th of May, 1694.  

Lisenc'd, May 16th. 1694.   
murder and Theft have been always looked upon as most detestable Sins in the Sight of God and Man, and punished as Capital Offences. The Commands of God, the Laws of the Jews, and other Nations at this day, inflict Death on the miserable Criminal.  
If our Body is the Temple of God, let us keep it undefiled, and not Make it a Sanctuary for murder and Theft; for that Holy Spirit will not endure the Impurity of our Thoughts, much less our polluted Actions: Our hands must not only be free from the slain of Blood, but our Hearts from the guilt, and the very desire of Revenge. He that sheds his Brothers Blood, stains his own Soul, which nothing can wash away, but that Fountain of Living Water, which cleanseth from all unrighteousness. The Judgments of Heaven may seem to follow the Impenitent Sinner with Leaden Feet, yet they strike at last with Hands of Iron.  

The Account is as follows, viz.  
THat between 9 and 10 of the Clock at night, there came three Men into the House of the aforesaid Mr. Tilly, inquiring for a Boat-Builder at the next door; but he happening to be abroad, his Wife came: They asking, Where her Husband was? She replied, He was abroad, but could not tell where. They enquired further, Whether she had ever an Old Boat to sell? She replied, She had none at this time; and went her way from them. No Company being in the house but an old Soldier, Mr. Tilly  told him, He would not stay with him, but go to keep the Gentlemen Company. The Gentlemen replied, Do so old Father, and so drunk to him.  
Soon after, the Soldier went to Bed, so that no body was left below but Mr. Tilly and his Wife, and these Gentlemen.  
Soon after, these persons called for Mr. Tilly's Wife to fetch more Drink; and in her going down the Cellar-stairs, one of these Men pursued her, and knocked her down; but that would not satisfy his Cruelty, but tied her in the Cellar, and stopped her Mouth with a Handkerchief; while the others above-stairs barbarously Assaulted Mr. Tilly himself, who the next Morning about 4 of the Clock was found dead, and tied in the Chimney-corner. The Wife was found in the Cellar, very near Death, and continued so for about 5 or 6 Hours before she began to recover. And now( blessed be God) she is capable of giving satisfaction of this most Dismal and Tragical Account, to all such Persons as desire to be further satisfied.  
These most inhuman and Barbarous Persons, when they thought all safe and secure from mollestation, they took the opportunity to rifle the House of money, and carried off an Iron-bound Chest, and other things of great Value. And when they thought they had done what mischief they could, they took a Boat to go by water, which was found next Morning at Blackfryers-stairs.— None of the persons are taken as yet.
