M. Certainly, The GOD of Heaven has been greatly Offended at you, for some Things in your former Conversation. Certainly you sinned Grievously, before you were left unto the Crimes, which have now brought such a Tragical End upon you. Certainly, you have by some Extraordinary Gratifications of the Devil, procured his having such an Advantage on you, and such a possession of you, as appeared in your being thus Led Captive by him to do his will. What is it in your former Life, that lies now most heavy upon you? Say, Fly.
P. My horrid Swearing and Cursing.
