Pulchres Church it is a common use the Bell tolling there for the sexton to read a Prayer to those which are to dye and desire the standers by to pray for the salvation of their soules This Jesuite all the while he was praying seemed rather to looke upon the Dyall to see what houre of the day it was then to marke what the sexton said Being come unto Tyburne the common place of Execution the Sheriffe asked him what his name was he answered Waller notwithstanding he was nick-nam'd by pick-pockets then did he aske him in what Religion he dyed he answered a Roman Catholique and a Priest before the Cart was drawne away the Sheriffe bidding him pray hee turned about and gave money to the people and then by the help of the Hangman upon his knees he prayed in Latine and crossed himselfe And so he ended his most miserable and I feare accursed life FINIS
