Love of sin and being quickned by the Spirit of Sanctification to heavenly Qualifications you shall under the sharpest Agonies of dying triumph over them yea you shall trample under your Feet all the Powers of Hell as exalted to Thrones of Glory in Celestial Blessedness through all the Ages of Eternity I proceed to give an Account of Three Condemned Criminals at the Session in the Old Baily on Saturday the 18th of this Instant January I Preacht twice on the Lord's Day yet Randal was very insensible of his barbarous Crime and did not attend to the Sermons nor Prayers with any Relenting On the Munday I visited him and another Criminal Condemn'd with him both were far from any ferious Behaviour in my Praying with them On Tuesday I visited them another Minister assisting me he endeavour'd to make Randal sensible of Murthering Mr. Levens yet he utterly deny'd it and affirm'd that he knew nothing of it On Wednesday in the Afternoon I took him aside and for a considerable time endeavour'd to perswade him no longer Athiestically to deny the Crime but he stood out in the denial of it whereupon I read to him what was sworn against him at his Tryal and that the Jury was fully convinced in their Consciences that he was guilty which they declared when they gave their Verdict He reply'd That he did not matter that being clear in his own Conscience Then I told him that he obstructed any Rational Hopes of his Salvation and that all Persons who read the Book of Tryals whom I met with believ'd him to be guilty I pray'd that God would work him to a free and full acknowledgment of his Crime and grant him Repentance for it Yet he deny'd it and said That he was resolved to do so at the time of his Death I told him of a Person who Murther'd his Wife and deny'd it several times at the place of Execution wishing Damnation on himself if he knew any thing of it After I had pray'd thrice that God would perswade him to declare the Truth I told him If I went out of the Cart any more he would be presently Executed and then he could not be Saved dying in his Atheistical Impenitency At last he call'd me back and said I Murthered my Wife with a Pistol and shot her in the Head but let not the People know it I said your self shall declare that you Murthered her Then he said All you that behold me pray for me that God would Pardon my great Provocation of him in denying my Crime against my Conscience for had I dy'd with a Lye in my Mouth I had been damned This Account somewhat startled Randal and altred his Countenance then I pray'd again that God would not leave him to dye in so barbarous a Crime but to confess it and to Repent of his former Obstinacy After this he said not any word by way of reply Then I told him that he ought to consider of whatsoever I had said and I hoped that he would confess the Crime before he dy'd He said that he had lived in much Sinning but would not acknowledge any particular II. Richard Tarrant alias Skinney Dick Aged 20 Years or thereabout Condemned for Picking the Pocket of Mr. John Knight and taking from him a Watch value Nine Pounds he deny'd it but Mr. Knight was very positive in his Evidence and the Jury found him guilty He had been an old Offender and deny'd not that formerly he was guilty of such an Offence Tarrant liv'd with his Father in the Country and kept him to Comb Wool But he was not Obedient to his Father as he ought so he left him some years since And he led an idle Life which he said laid him open to sinful Courses such as Sabbath-breaking omitting of Prayer that he was guilty of Swearing and wisht sometimes in his Passion Damnation to others He relented that he had not served God but now he prays that God would make him sensible of all his Sins for said he Christ affirms that for every idle Word we must give an account in the day of Judgment and the least Sin will damn a Man without Repentance III. Anne Walters Condemned for Picking the Pocket of one Richard Clark taking from him two Guineas and 20 Shillings in Mony numbred Two Guineas and six Shillings were found in her Mouth which Mr. Clark said was his Mony whereupon the Jury brought her in guilty She did not utterly deny the Fact She confest that her Life had been bad as to Sabbath-breaking and not regarding to pray that God would keep her from Sinning She was known to have been an ill Liver and could not call any body to her Reputation at her Tryal She was little sensible of the state of her Soul as to the future Judgment of God On Wednesday the 29th of January Thomas Randal who killed Roger Levens the Quaker was put into a Cart and conveyed by the Deceased's Door at White-Chappel and from thence to the Place of his Execution at Stone-bridge by Kingsland where he is to hang in Irons on a Gibbet till his Body be consumed He did confess that he was at the Marshalsea with Lock and Green but denied that he never spoke any such Words that he did kill the Quaker He acknowledged that he did say to the Serjeant when he was Taken that he was a Dead Man and that he had been a very wicked Sinner and had been Guilty of all manner of Sins in general except that of Murder He owned a Burglary that he committed at Linton near Saffron-Walden in Essex but would not confess any of his Accomplices He said that Hunt and he had been in many Robberies The Worthy Sheriffs did exhort him with Spiritual Council that he should make an Ingenious Confession and not to persist in his Obstinacy and Dye with a Lye in his Mouth but to have regard to his precious Soul it wrought nothing upon him his Heart being so hardened he would not discover any thing of the Murder nor any of the Persons that was with him at that time but hoped that he had done his Work with God Almighty Then Mr Ordinary pressed him and told him that Confession was the first step to Repentance and without that he could hardly make his Peace with God but it did avail nothing with him he still persisting in the same till the Cart Drew away He was turned off This is all the Account I can give of this Sessions Sam.
