<HEAD>NEWS from NEVVGATE. OR The Confe&s;&s;ion of tho&s;e that were Execu|ted.</HEAD>
<P>THe dying clo&s;e of an ill led Life, is well worthy the mo&s;t &s;erious ob&s;ervations for then commonly the powers of a rational Soul; that have all along been &s;uppre&s;&s;ed in its actings by the impetuous hurry of vitious and debauched prin|ciples, that have filled up the volume of their Lives, with nothing but repeated Acts of lewdne&s;s and di&s;|orders, yet then when the harangue of their Extrava|gances have brought them to that fatal point, between the reflection of their pa&s;t, but dear bought plea&s;ures, and the pro&s;pect of that near and dreadful account that <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="left margin cropped or obscured" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1+ letters">hey are going to give to the Judge of Heaven and Earth, of their impieties.</P>
<PB N="2" REF="3" MS="y">
<P>Then I &s;ay the Soul re&s;umes its power of rational actings; and then the refl<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ctive and di&s;cur&s;ive faculties will exert their powers in a more regular way of ap|prehen&s;ion, and will give their ju&s;t and due &s;entiments of their profligate actions which formerly their benum|med Con&s;ciences took but little &s;en&s;e of, and from their own dear experience will inform the world, how v<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">in and fo<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">li&s;h their cour&s;es were that &s;hould t<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">rmi|nate their plea&s;urable Lives in &s;uch dreadful and lamen|table Periods; And therefore po&s;&s;ible it is that the deaths of &s;uch men, when awakened to a Serious &s;ence of their condition, may recompence &s;omething for the Evil of their Lives, whereby they &s;educed &s;o many into wickedne&s;s by their Example, thus a &s;erious an|imadver&s;ion of the la&s;t carriage and behaviour of &s;uch dying Malefactors, may be effectual to convert men from tho&s;e de&s;tructive ways, that they &s;ee in them to be concluded with &s;o lamentable a Clo&s;e:</P>
<P>You have been already pre&s;ented with the Trial and Condemnation of one and twenty Malefactors, who this la&s;t Se&s;&s;ions had the Sentence of Death pa&s;s'd up|on them, where &s;ome are repriev'd, and the re&s;t are Executed this VVedne&s;day the 17th. <HI>September</HI> in&s;tant. It is that priviledge that the mercy of our Chri&s;tian Laws do allow to per&s;ons in their conditions, that after judgment hath pa&s;&s;ed upon their bodies, &s;ome care &s;hould be taken for the good of their immortal &s;ouls; nor could the greate&s;t Charity exert it &s;elf in more needful offices than to be helpful to &s;uch mi&s;erable crea|tures in their la&s;t exigencies under tho&s;e pungent re|mor&s;es
<PB N="3" REF="3" MS="y"> and confu&s;ed agonies, that the con&s;cience of their pa&s;t wickedne&s;s, and the &s;en&s;e of an approaching judgment mu&s;t needs leave them: to this end is the Or|dinary deputed, to deal with them in their la&s;t conflict with the King of Terrors; and who&s;e whol&s;ome ad|vice is to be to them as <HI>Po&s;trema Tabula po&s;t Naufragium,</HI> the la&s;t help of their &s;hipwrack'd lives. This Gentle|man, with other Mini&s;ters that came in officiou&s;ly to give their a&s;&s;i&s;tance in this la&s;t work, were frequently with the Pri&s;oners during the &s;pace between their Con|demnation and Execution; and, as mo&s;t &s;utable to their pre&s;ent condition, did chiefly labour to make them ap|prehen&s;ive of the mi&s;erable account they &s;tood in to|wards their offended Maker, who&s;e glorious Name they had di&s;honoured, and who&s;e Laws they had violated by their nefandous crimes; and how nece&s;&s;ary it was in order to obtaining peace and ab&s;olution from him, and as they tendred their everla&s;ting welfare, that they &s;hould now unburden their Con&s;ciences in a &s;incere and open Confe&s;&s;ion of all that wickedne&s;s that they had been guilty of, and give glory to God by &s;o doing; that be&s;ides the&s;e more publick crimes for which they then &s;tood condemned; they &s;hould faithfully di&s;charge their Con&s;ciences of any other wickedne&s;s or crime which they might know them&s;elves to have been guilty of in order to their e&s;tabli&s;hment of a well-grounded peace and comfort to them&s;elves.</P>
<P>They &s;eemed all generally apprehen&s;ive of the im|portancy of the&s;e coun&s;els, and did accordingly manife&s;t

<P>Particularly <HI>John Rendor,</HI> the per&s;on that &s;trangled Mr. <HI>Blucks</HI> Servant, &s;eemed deeply &s;en&s;ible of that horrid blood-guiltine&s;s that lay upon him, in taking away the Life of that poor VVoman, who had been &s;o kind and ho&s;pitable to him; He confe&s;t that the killing motive to that horrid Action was his lucre of getting the goods that were left in her cu&s;tody; And there|fore warned all per&s;ons, by his Example, to &s;et timely bounds to their ungovernable de&s;ires after unlawful gain, that when once men begin to covet their neigh|bours proprieties it is a ready inlet to all manner of impiety and nothing can be &s;o deere to any one, not Life it &s;elfe, but their greedy di&s;po&s;itions will be ready to Violate.</P>
<P>He confe&s;t the Ju&s;tice of God in making him to bewray his own fact, and that after he had perpetrated the Murther, he was compelled, by the pungent Ex|citations of his own Con&s;cience, to go back to the place where he did the Fact. and where he was taken.</P>
<P>The Women that Murthered their Children did in like manner, Caution all per&s;ons to beware of the&s;e &s;ecret ways of lu&s;t, which to palliate and hide from
<PB N="5" REF="5" MS="y"> others, would by their pre&s;ident, put them upon the&s;e unnatural Actions that would bring them to a more open &s;hame.</P>
<P>They were all very penitent in their Confe&s;&s;ions, and we may in Charity hope that though they have been ju&s;tly condemned in this world to the de&s;truction of their bodyes, that yet they may through Gods mercy be ab&s;olved in the other for the Salvation of their Souls.</P>
