Margaret ask that Man at your right-hand how it is with him whether he feels any of those Comforts and Joys you speak of Margaret turning to Mr. Selby said How is it with you look up to Jesus Christ He answered It is well Doctor Martin I wish you may say so an hour hence Margaret O Lord Jesus receive my poor Soul into thy Arms I commend my Spirit Oh! the Transcendent Joys I am not able to express the Joys I have had since I have been condemned Then Dr. Martin prayed with them most excellently and affectionately after which she continued crying out Oh the Glory Oh the Glory till the Executioner was going to pin the Hood down over her Face she said I come as soon as you will I care not how soon but he not presently doing it she spake again to the people and said I humbly thank all the peoples of God all good people for their prayers to God for me and said she I have given an account in a Writing which I hope will satisfie the World for I take God to witness that all that I have written in that Paper is all true O Lord thou knowest I would not lye I am coming to thee Upon which the under Sheriff and Officers made Inquiry for it which was quickly carried down to the High Sheriff who was so affected that his Worship was pleased earnestly to desire a Copy thereof before the same was Printed But the Original is delivered into his Worships hands as aforesaid and a true Copy thereof is here before Printed The Minister who is Ordnary being present did justifie to the Sheriff Sir Robert Hatton Knight and many other worthy Persons there present that he had read it before in Prison when she desired him to subscribe it that it might not be questioned whether it was hers after her Death or no. When the Executioner was pulling down her Hood to do his last Office she put it up her self again and said Gentlemen I have one thing more to say I have seen a Paper that John Satterthwait hath put out in his vindication Dr. Martin Ah! Margaret have you read that vindication Margaret Yes Sir Mr. Cole read it to me Dr. Martin Mr. Cole did you read it to her Mr. Cole Yes Sir I did read it to her Dr. Martin Well what say you to it Margaret Margaret It is false it is false he hath added another sin to his great wickedness I wish I may be the last that he may ruin in this World I testifie before you all now I am

were at home And I answered him no and he told me that he hoped he should have an opportunity to speak with me for he had something to say And I answered him if he had any thing to say I should be so civil to give him the hearing when I had time for then I was in haste Then he came on the next day with the same Request and I returned the same Answer Then he Third time being Wednesday he came again and used great Importunity and expressed some kindnesses as if he had been a Suitor and prevailed with me to go into the Borrough with him to an Alehouse where were two Men more of his company and after some little time of discourse he propounded to me this wicked and horrid Design which I was to have been ingaged in with them that is to let them into my Masters House to set it on Fire and for a Reward they promised me Two thousand pounds which Sum I was to receive at the Fleece Tavern in Holborn inquiring for a Rom in the said Tavern called the Figure Nine Then coming out of the Alehouse they would f●n have had me away with them saying Come let us take Coach and go into Fleetstreet for said they there we have a Priest of ours who Lodges at a Grocers that shall Confess you and give you the Sacrament I told him I could not possibly go then So this John Satterthwait went homewards with mealmost to my Masters Oate and as we went along he charged me that I should not divulge it to any person in the world living for if I did I should certainly dye for it and that quickly in this world and be damn'd in other Then he came on the next day and gave me the same charge to keep it secret And then on Saturday he came and inquired of me the best time that he might come to do this most horrid and devillish Action saying Would not four or five of the clock be a good time And I said Yes Accordingly he came and conveyed himself into the Dye-house or thereabouts while Nine or Ten of the Clock that Evening about which time the Fire was discovered Whereupon with the fear and dread he had put upon me I did deny it to the company that came in to quench it but after that he was there whom I saw amongst the rest of the company but I had much horrour upon my Conscience and after some short time I confest the whole Crime for which I now dye And my Examination before Justice Reading and Justice Freeman was all true And this I affirm and do desire all Protestants to believe that John Satterthwait kindled those three Fires in my Masters House First in the Dye-house by the Pump secondly in the Buttery and thirdly in the Garret which last Fire he kindled whilest the People were putting out the other And I do declare in the words of a dying Maid that I was under great trouble of Conscience and was many times about discovering it but could not Satans Temptations and the wickedness of my own heart did so much prevail with me Oh that covetous design of gaining the Moneys was that which I desire all who read these Lines which I have writ to beware of I saw him among the People in the House very busie and I made signs at him to discover him but the people being in a great hurry did not mind the things I then said to them I do also think in my conscience that if my Master had examined me I should have declared the whole matter for I gave out often suspicious words of my fear of Fire and on the Friday before this happened I went out to a friends house and there I was so afflicted and troubled in my mind that they took notice of it and one that went with me thither was importunate with me to know the reason of my trouble but the Devil had so subtilly ingag'd my wicked heart that I could not tell him But to pass by my Conviction and Imprisonment which you have all heard of and to come to this one thing which fell out in the time of my Confinement in Prison which I bless God for rather than that my most Loving and Honoured Master with I know not how many others should have suffered by my wicked compliance with that Man That which I speak of is this When I had been about three weeks in Prison I was then walking in the Yard having that liberty granted me by the Jaylor there John Satterthwait look'd out of a Window and said to me Are you there I wish I could come to you I would spoil your telling of Tales but I gave him no answer neither do I desire his hurt or death but beg of God while I am here in this world Repentance for him and oh that God would give him a sense of these his great Sins both in tempting me and his designing the ruine of many Thousands of Families I can say before the Lord I desire not his Death it would have been but a poor relief for me to have had him dyed with me But this I must and will declare before I go hence and am no more seen That John Satterthwait though he was clear'd by the Jury was Guilty as I said before that is of making those three Fires and I only did consent and let him in Now I would not have you to think that I have written this to lessen or excuse my own fault I deserve Death nay a worser Death for consenting to so horrid a wickedness even eternal Death But now I hope that through the Merits of Jesus Christ alone not trusting to my own Works or Pardons from Men as I fear the Papists do depend upon to be saved from Eternal Fire and that I shall be justified freely by his Grace through the Redemption which he hath purchased with his own blood Whereas there is a Report that is gone commonly about that I had stol'n many of my Masters things as Plate c. I think it fit now I am to dye to give the World an Account of what I then took the things which I had then put into my Box was a little Tape Lace and other frivolous things which now makes me wonder why I then put them up for I might have put up Jewels and Plate which was under my Charge to the value of some Hundreds of pounds but as to the carrying out of a Box which I was met with it is a most false report for I was so full of horror and trouble of Conscience that I did not then think of my Box. And now I desire all that read these Lines would consider and have a great care how they break the Lords Day for my neglecting thereof was the first step to my downfall and I desire this downfall of mine may be a warning to all young Men and Maids Oh! let them be content with the places that God by his
