a_o true_a account_n of_o several_a passage_n relate_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o sir_n john_n johnston_n by_o william_n smythies_n curate_n of_o st._n giles_n cripplegate_n i_o have_v forbear_v this_o publication_n notwithstanding_o many_o importunity_n if_o a_o print_a paper_n have_v not_o come_v abroad_o which_o give_v a_o very_a imperfect_a and_o in_o some_o thing_n a_o very_a false_a account_n concern_v sir_n john_n johnston_n with_o which_o there_o be_v a_o aspersion_n that_o i_o be_v the_o pen_n man_n of_o it_o i_o have_v be_v likewise_o inform_v that_o the_o minister_n who_o visited_n him_z in_o the_o prison_n be_v accuse_v of_o be_v too_o credulous_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v impose_v upon_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v great_a wrong_n do_v to_o a_o apothecary_n in_o newgate-street_n i_o have_v therefore_o resolve_v to_o a_o give_v very_o just_a account_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o no_o more_o on_o thursday_n the_o 10_o instant_a sir_n john_n johnston_n send_v a_o importunate_a request_n to_o dr._n w._n beseech_v he_o though_o a_o stranger_n to_o grant_v his_o assistance_n to_o a_o die_a man_n to_o which_o the_o dr._n ready_o comply_v and_o after_o he_o have_v twice_o give_v he_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o hear_v the_o most_o solemn_a repeat_v protestation_n of_o his_o innocency_n desire_v dr._n f._n to_o meet_v he_o the_o next_o day_n in_o the_o prison_n and_o to_o bring_v some_o other_o minister_n with_o he_o which_o occasion_v my_o attendance_n when_o we_o come_v to_o he_o the_o doctor_n adjure_v he_o by_o all_o that_o be_v sacred_a and_o terrible_a with_o such_o expression_n as_o may_v have_v make_v even_o a_o innocent_a man_n to_o tremble_v to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n assure_v he_o withal_o that_o there_o be_v very_o little_a hope_n of_o his_o obtain_n favour_n consider_v that_o many_o great_a man_n believe_v he_o guilty_a of_o that_o for_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v and_o many_o other_o enormous_a crime_n he_o then_o give_v we_o a_o account_n concern_v the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o young_a heiress_n the_o substance_n of_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o follow_a letter_n which_o he_o write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n a_o little_a after_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n the_o three_o or_o four_o time_n and_o when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o his_o execution_n sir_n i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o amiss_o as_o a_o die_a man_n to_o give_v you_o a_o short_a account_n of_o all_o my_o innocency_n and_o all_o the_o reason_n i_o know_v they_o have_v for_o bring_v i_o to_o this_o untimely_a end_n on_o friday_n morning_n be_v the_o day_n she_o be_v take_v away_o about_o ten_o of_o the_o clock_n captain_n campbell_n and_o mr._n montgomery_n come_v to_o my_o lodging_n with_o a_o haunch_n of_o
