NEWS from NEWGATE. OR The Confession of those that were Executed.  
THe dying close of an ill lead Life, is well worthy the most serious observations for then commonly the powers of a rational Soul; that have all along been suppressed in its actings by the impetuous hurry of vicious and debauched principles, that have filled up the volume of their Lives, with nothing but repeated Acts of lewdness and disorders, yet then when the harangue of their Extravagances have brought them to that fatal point, between the reflection of their past, but dear bought pleasures, and the prospect of that near and dreadful account that ●… hey are going to give to the Judge of Heaven and Earth, of their impieties.  
Then I say the Soul resumes its power of rational actings; and then the refl●ctive and discursive faculties will exert their powers in a more regular way of apprehension, and will give their just and due sentiments of their profligate actions which formerly their benumbed Consciences took but little sense of, and from their own dear experience will inform the world, how v●in and fo●lish their courses were that should t●rminate their pleasurable Lives in such dreadful and lamentable Periods; And therefore possible it is that the deaths of such men, when awakened to a Serious sense of their condition, may recompense something for the Evil of their Lives, whereby they seduced so many into wickedness by their Example, thus a serious animadversion of the last carriage and behaviour of such dying Malefactors, may be effectual to convert men from those destructive ways, that they see in them to be concluded with so lamentable a Close:  
You have been already presented with the Trial and Condemnation of one and twenty Malefactors, who this last Sessions had the Sentence of Death passed upon them, where some are reprieved, and the rest are Executed this Wednesday the 17th. September instant. It is that privilege that the mercy of our Christian Laws do allow to persons in their conditions, that after judgement hath passed upon their bodies, some care should be taken for the good of their immortal souls; nor could the greatest Charity exert itself in more needful offices than to be helpful to such miserable creatures in their last exigencies under those pungent remorses and confused agonies, that the conscience of their past wickedness, and the sense of an approaching judgement must needs leave them: to this end is the Ordinary deputed, to deal with them in their last conflict with the King of Terrors; and whose wholesome advice is to be to them as Postrema Tabula post Naufragium, the last help of their shipwrecked lives. This Gentleman, with other Ministers that came in officiously to give their assistance in this last work, were frequently with the Prisoners during the space between their Condemnation and Execution; and, as most suitable to their present condition, did chiefly labour to make them apprehensive of the miserable account they stood in towards their offended Maker, whose glorious Name they had dishonoured, and whose Laws they had violated by their nefandous crimes; and how necessary it was in order to obtaining peace and absolution from him, and as they tendered their everlasting welfare, that they should now unburden their Consciences in a sincere and open Confession of all that wickedness that they had been guilty of, and give glory to God by so doing; that besides these more public crimes for which they then stood condemned; they should faithfully discharge their Consciences of any other wickedness or crime which they might know themselves to have been guilty of in order to their establishment of a well-grounded peace and comfort to themselves.  
They seemed all generally apprehensive of the importance of these counsels, and did accordingly manifest the expressions of true penitent souls, in hearty bewailing of their grievous offences, and earnestly desiring the Prayers of all that should understand their condition to be put up to the Throne of Grace for mercy for them.  
Particularly John Rendor, the person that strangled Mr. Blucks Servant, seemed deeply sensible of that horrid blood-guiltiness that lay upon him, in taking away the Life of that poor Woman, who had been so kind and hospitable to him; He confessed that the killing motive to that horrid Action was his lucre of getting the goods that were left in her custody; And therefore warned all persons, by his Example, to set timely bounds to their ungovernable desires after unlawful gain, that when once men begin to covet their neighbours proprieties it is a ready inlet to all manner of impiety and nothing can be so deere to any one, not Life itself, but their greedy dispositions will be ready to Violate.  
He confessed the Justice of God in making him to bewray his own fact, and that after he had perpetrated the murder, he was compelled, by the pungent Excitations of his own Conscience, to go back to the place where he did the Fact. and where he was taken.  
The Women that murdered their Children did in like manner, Caution all persons to beware of these secret ways of lust, which to palliate and hid from others, would by their president, put them upon these unnatural Actions that would bring them to a more open shane.  
They were all very penitent in their Confessions, and we may in Charity hope that though they have been justly condemned in this world to the destruction of their bodies, that yet they may through Gods mercy be absolved in the other for the Salvation of their Souls.
