tion; he called much and frequently on
Christ for Pardon of Sin, that God Almighty would save his innocent
Soul; he desired to forgive all the World. His last words were, _Lord,
forgive my Soul! Oh, receive me into Eternity! Blessed Name of
Christ, receive my Soul_.

--III--_Christopher Scudamore_. He appeared very Penitent since his
Condemnation, was very diligent to improve his time going to, and at
the place of Execution.

--IV--_John Miller_. He seem'd much concerned, and complained of a
great Burden of Sins to answer for; expressing often _Lord, what shall
I do to be Saved_!

--V--_Erasmus Peterson_. He cryed of injustice done him, and said _It
is very hard for so many lives to be taken away for a little Gold_. He
often said his Peace was made with God, and his Soul would be with God,
yet extream hard to forgive those he said had wronged him. He told the
Executioner, _he was a strong man, and Prayed to be put out of misery
as soon as possible_.

--VI--_Peter Roach_. He seem'd little concerned, and said but little
or nothing at all. Francis King was also brought to the place of
Execution but Repriev'd.

The _News-Letter_ was less inclined to vouch for the pious inclinations
of these poor wretches, and gravely stated that "notwithstanding all
the great labour and pains taken by the Reverend Ministers of the Town

hardened in their Sins."
