<HEAD>AN ACCOUNT OF Nineteen REBELS That were Executed at Taunton-Dean, in the County of SOMERSET: On <HI>VVedne&s;day</HI> the 30th of <HI>September,</HI> 1685. For <HI>High-Trea&s;on</HI> again&s;t His mo&s;t Sacred MAJESTIE, <HI>&amp;c,</HI></HEAD>
<P>AFter many di&s;apointments in under-hand contrivances, and malicious machinations; the re&s;tle&s;s Faction grown big with mi&s;chief, being no longer capable to hide their Rancor, gave it vent, though to their Shame and Confu&s;&s;ion; for as it has in mo&s;t Ages been Evident that Heaven fru&s;trates and bla&s;ts evil Purpo&s;es and wicked De&s;igns; &s;o more e&s;pe|cially in this it has appeared even to a miracle, and peculiarly in the pre&s;er|vation of his mo&s;t Sacred Maje&s;ty the be&s;t of Princes, and &s;ubduing his Ene|mies under his Feet, to render all good men entirely happy, and to bring tho&s;e to Condeign Puni&s;hment, which neither clemency nor mildne&s;s were able to reduce too, or retain in their due Obedience to their Lawful Sovereign; &s;o that where Mercy cannot prevail, it is very rea&s;onable Ju&s;tice &s;hould take place, and Examplary Puni&s;hment re&s;train by fear, where Favour and Indul|gence proves ineffectual; that Trea&s;on and Traytorous De&s;igns, tho&s;e bains of Kingdoms and di&s;turbers of Common-Peace and Tranquility may be rooted out, or at lea&s;t overwhelmed, to a degree of rendring them impotent, and warn tho&s;e who have been, or hereafter &s;hall be tempted by &s;uch guiled baits of Ruin by &s;ad Example, to fly and avoid them, as they tender their Safety and
<PB REF="2">Reputation, which had the&s;e Per&s;ons who&s;e Names follow, and who de&s;ervedly fell by the hand of Ju&s;tice done, it might have proved happy to them and their Po&s;terity; but entering upon an unju&s;t and unnatural Rebellion, being by Di|vine Providence fru&s;trated by their wicked undertaking: They were taken in the Pit they had diged for others, and being with many more brought to Ju|&s;tice, and plain Proof made out again&s;t them, they received Sentence of Death as Rebels and Traytors again&s;t their King and Natural Lord, which Sentence was on <HI>Wedne&s;day</HI> the 30th. of <HI>September</HI> put in Execution, in the manner un|der mentioned, upon Nineteen of them.</P>
