AN ACCOUNT Of the Behaviour of HENRY WELLER JOHN RALPH CLEMENT SNELL JOSEPH RUMNEY MATTHEW SMITH RALPH COOK in Newgate Since their CONDEMNATION With Seasonable Advice to all Condemned Prisoners Published by their earnest Request and Desire AS God himself is a Compound of all that is good And that it is most evident that he is filled up with goodness by his extent of Mercy and favour to poor Creatures that have ill deserved it at his Hands the nature of whose Crimes being of the deepest Dye and attended with the greatest aggravations Witness Manasseh Mary Magdalen the Thief upon the Cross and many others The consideration whereof should work tenderness and pity in all our Hearts towards those poor Creatures that notwithstanding the repeated instances of Divine Justice and displeasure from time to time yet being hardened in sin take no warning till they deservedly bring themselves to a shameful and ignominious Death The following advice and directions to poor Condemned Prisoners was written in Love and Pity to their Souls and by the earnest request of these Six Persons abovementioned to whom we hope God hath in much mercy given to see the horrible nature of those sins for which they justly suffer very much bewailing the nature of their Crimes and the aggravating circumstances that did attend them Henry Weller in particular greatly Condemning himself and saying that his sins were greater than the rest because Committed against great Light and Knowledge They were the more earnest to have this published because as they said It might not only by the Blessing of God do good to their own Souls but that it might be seasonable to all others hereafter whose Crimes makes them obnoxious to the same fate 1. I beseech you consider the time past and the manner of your life How many Days Weeks Months and Years are passed over your Heads in which you have had no regard to the glory of God nor the salvation of your pretious souls but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness to the displeasing of a glorious God and the destroying of your own Souls 2. Consider and call to mind the several sorts of wickness you have been guilty of and have repeated many times over in the practice of them viz. Lying Swearing Drunkenness Uncleanness Breach of the Lords Day and rejecting the means of Grace besides those abominable Crimes you are Condemned for by the Laws of the Land 3. Consider that all of these sins or any of them are damning to those that are guilty of them and therefore though some of you may plead that you are not actually guilty of all kind of wickedness yet your State is bad enough for it is written be that breaketh the Law of God in one point is guilty of all 4. Consider that it is much more your work and will be more profitable for your Soul to lay to Heart what you are guilty of than to please your selves with what you are not actually guilty of for as much as the forbearance of some sins is not enough to save you but to be charged of as guilty of in any sin is enough to damn you 5. Consider that your wicked Life and Conversation is contrary to and hath been in opposition of the good word of God the instructions of Relations and Friends the teachings of your own Conscience and good Laws of the Land besides the many warnings you have had from many that have gone before you who have been brought to sorrow and shame by their wickedness in ending their Days to the great Grief of their dearest Friends 6. Consider that it is the great Mercy of God to you in forbearing of you so long forasmuch as he might in Justice a sent you to Hell long agoe if he had dealt with you according to your Deserts and so in stead of having an oportunity to Weep and Pray to God now you might have been in the Tormenting Flames out of which there is no deliverance 7. Consider that the time past cannot be Recalled not a Year not a Month not a Day no not one Hour and the time you have to Live is very short and therefore you ought so to number your days as to apply your hearts to true Wisdom which is to fear the Lord for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and the true fear of God is to hate Sin O Remember that Eternity dependeth upon this little opportunity and therefore take heed you do not loose any Moment of it for the good of your Pretious Souls 8. Consider that sin hath bern the cause of all the Misery that ever came upon Mankind Sin turned Adam out of Paradise sin made Cain cry out my punishment is greater than I can bear Sin destroyed the World with water Sin burn'd Sodom and Gomorah with Fire and Brimstone Sin rent the Kingdom of Israel from Saul and God gave the Kingdom to David a better Man Sin caused Nebuchadnesar to go Graseing among the Beasts of the Field and brought his Nobles from being Companions of Princes to be a Prey for devouring Lions Sin hath destroyed famous Kingdoms Families and particular persons yea sin cast some of the Angels out of Heaven into Hell and sin will turn you out of this VVorld into Hell Except you repent ye shall all likewise perish Consider the unspeakable love of God in sending his only Begotten Son into the World to be a Ransome for Captive Souls a Physician for Sin-sick Souls A Reconcil●r for Souls that have been Enemies to God by wicked works A Rest for weary Souls Food for Hungry Souls Rayment for Naked Souls and a Saviour to give Pardons to Criminal Souls O how should this melt and break your Souls into Sorrow and true Contrition that ever you should so sin and so long time against such a good God and such a pretious Christ 10. Consider that this pretious Jesus hath perfectly kept all that Law of God which you have wickedly broken and he hath suffered the severity of Divine Justice and thereby hath satisfied Divine Requirement for and in the behalf of such poor miserable Sinners as you are the Just suffered for the Unjust he was made a Curse to Redeem others from the Curse of the Law O this sweet Jesus was cut off but not for himself he was Stricken and Smitten of God for the sins of others that by his Stripes they might be Healed 11. Consider that this very same Jesus is now alive being Raised from the Dead He that was Dead is Alive and b●hold he liveth for ever more He that was Hanged on the Cross now sitteth on the Throne He that did Bleed on the Cross now Pleadeth on the Throne He that Died on the Cross now Reigneth on the Throne having all Power in Heaven and in Earth and is Admired Adored and Worshipped by the Holy Angels 12. Consider that the person of Jesus Christ as God and Man in Union together and his blessed Merits in the Actual service of
