THis Thomas Horsey had murthered out Elizabeth Couer dwelling in Turne-mill Street in an Alley called Persons Alley She was a Woman of a most lewd life and they both vnlawfully accompanied together But so it fortuned that such loue which was betweene them could not long continue nor haue a happy Issue but Mischiefe did attend them both likewise as did the other two formerly treated of These two lustie lustfull Louers fell at variance betweene themselues and suddenly hee slew her with a Pen-knife After the Fact committed he fled and got passage out of England with Sir Walter Rauleigh late deceased into Guiana where and in some other places before he returned he was absent for the terms of three yeares after this Murther was by him committed In this Processe of time hee thought none would haue knowne or sought after him to make him answere for the same but that it had beene forgotten At his returne into England he boldly repayred to renew his old acquaintance withsome others of his deceased friends fashion and by this meanes he was taken and apprehended At his Arraignement he conidently and boldly denyed the Fact and said another who was in his companie did it but not himselfe But at his death he freely confessed it and said hee meant not to slay her but to giue her a marke for remembrance of her abusing of him and his conclusion concrning her was That he thought in his conscience through her destruction that many hundreds were ●aued from the Gallowes A true declaration of the manifold Facts done by Richard Earper who was executed on Monday last at Tiburne AS Almighty God ouertooke others in their mischiefes so hee suddenly surprised him as to the hearing of many thousands hee out of his owne mouth confessed and spake as followeth The Fact for which hee died was for Robbing the house of Sir Richard Sutton and Sir Iohn Ofley which house he Robbed once before this time and confessed that the Cushions which stood in the Windowes of Sir Richard Suttons house hee had and burnd them and for the second time he Robd the house he got into a Garden and climed vp to a Window wherein he entred and tooke such things who pleased and so came downe the Staires of the same and got foorth But marke how strangely God reueiled him by a Dagger which he tooke of Sir Iohn Oflyes he gaue it to Sir Iohns Brother of whom he ●nquired how he came by that Dagger who sayd that Harper was the man that gaue it him and so there doubts were resolued that none but he could Rob that house this Arraingnement he boldly denyed that fact and all others of that nature but God who bringeth all things to light reuealed at the last that he was a secret notorious Theefe and Burglaer as I will heereafter who 〈…〉 was by the Iury found guilty and adiudged by the Court to death and both Iustly as himselfe confessed the day before his Execution and at the time of his Execution The Euening before he su●●●●●● he disgu●sed him selfe in Womans apparrell and got away by water 〈…〉 vnto the Banckes-side but God preuented him and would not not let him so escape or flye vengeance for the Keeper soone ouertooke him At the place of Execution he much bewailed his lewd life and declared that he had beene brought vp to the Latine Tongue and Musicke but such was his most wicked continued course of life and sayd that hee was no sooner entertained into a Seruice but company and women withdrewe him from thence and counselled him often to shifte It was demaunded of him to cleere his Conscience and to tell vnfainedly vnto the whole world whether that woman with whom he accompanyed were his wife or not and he thus replyed answere to them God forgiue me for it thou knowest that she is not Hee lastly confessed that hee had vsed to robbe the Court many times and that he had stolne twise the Kings Maiesties cushions from his Chaire of State and that Suite which was of an Orrange-tawny-colour broad-cloth he stole out of the Spicery with a Fetherbed For these his most fowle and vile offence he wept most bitterly and prayed heartily vnto GOD for pardon and remission vnto whose vnexpressable mercie I must leaue him At this Sessions was arraigned and executed at Tyburne Thomas Porter a Brewer by Trade who in playing at the Cards with one Christopher Body a Player fell out with him who so prouoked him that hee tooke a Nowle that lay on the Boarde and thrust it into his side of which mortall wound he dyed At this Sessions were conuicted and executed vppon the statute of Vagrancie Samuell Prat and Iohn Smith both which the Statute adiudged to be Fellons without any benefite of Cleargie hauing béene before whipt and burnt in the Shoulder with a Romane R. and returning backe with their Passes they were both adiudged to dye and the one was hanged at White Chappell and the other at Grayes Inne Lane ende Conclusion THus Life is destroyed by Life and Earth turnes Earth to Earth The Life of the Law which is iust takes away the Life of the lewd and vniust Iudges Men made of Earth turnes these miserable wretches vnto the Graue Dust and Earth But Christianitie requires of mee to lodge this hope in my breast That he who came downe from Heauen to Earth to bring vs vnto euerlasting Life though Death and Graue haue now swallowed them vp and gotten the victorie of them yet by vertue of his most powerfull Conquest and glorious Resurrection they shall rise out of the dust of their Graues for their Corruption then to put on Incorruption for their Mortall and transitorie Life an Immortall and euerlasting Life Which Lord Iesus graunt vnto vs all in thy appointed time FINIS
