are tempted to lustful deeds and unlawful desires that may be instrumental to bring shame and ignominy not onely on them but on their whole posterity George Cole of Bishops gate-street London was tried for a Felony and Burglary for robbing his Lodging breaking open the Doors and Desks therein and taking thence three or four pair of Flaxen Sheets two Callico Pillowbeers two Tablecloths several Curtains and Valens besides Apparel as Petticoats Scarfs and Hoods as likewise Thread and Gimp all to the value of seven or eight pounds this he effected one Morning before any of the house were stirring carrying them clear off without the least discovery leaving one that he pretended was his Wife in bed the mean while And also several Pick-lock Keys were found that would open all the House-doors Trunks Chests and other fastenings in the house and was so impudent as not long after to send a Messenger for them and some other things he had by over-haste forgot whereupon by the directions of the Messenger he was apprehended and now upon Trial denied the Fact but Mrs. Davis who lost the Goods and several belonging to the house attesting he onely had the Key of the Room and no body else the Jurors gave their Verdict against him as to the Felony but upon enquiry there being a Record found of his formerly being burnt in the Hand he was also Condemned to Die seeming to be very obstinate and careless for two days after as if stupified or amazed with the sense he had of deaths near approach but by the perswasions of several pious persons who came to visit the poor afflicted wretches that then no doubt lay under Agonies to think how dreadful the King of Terrours was he began to reflect upon Eternity and was perswaded to prepare himself for death Edward Willis being apprehended for Stealing several Sheep near Highgate was committed to Newgate where he remained till he took his Tryal in the Old Bayley and there it was Sworn against him by a Felmonger that he had bought ten Skins of him and gave him nine Pence a piece for each of them And the man that lost them finding his Mark upon the Skins He Challenged and Swore them to be his so that the Prisoner being Cast was upon his being found to be formerly Burnt in the Hand Condemned He begg'd hard for his Life but several notorious things being alledged against him he could obtain no Mercy but was Executed with the rest behaving himself like a dying man till he changed for Immortality Thus may we see how the Devil deludes such as give credit to his wicked Suggestions but at last brings them into Misery and then leaves them to shift when least able On the Eleaventh of this Instant being Saturday between three and four of the Clock in the Afternoon was Elizabeth Cellier brought upon her Trial being
