We then went to Chiswick , and staid one Night with J. Meads Friends, and then went to get some Support, I having some Money due to me from one Mr. Smith; But not having wherewith (through our extravagant living) to reach to him) we about Farnham attack'd the Man whom I shot very foolishly through the Check, but who is since recovered.

For these Cruelties, I beg of all Men not to reflect upon any of my Relations, who are not guilty with me; in particular my Wife, who after I was married to her, hearing I had before been guilty of certain Facts, begged daily of me to lead a sober Life; and also Mrs. Raddission I return my last Thanks to, who trusted me many Pounds, and never would make any Demands, lest they should drive me to any Inconveniencies. I desire that Mercy of God which I refused to Man. I make Attonement with my Blood. I die a Roman-Catholick. Signed by me in the Presence of Witnesses,

N. B. William Duce< no role > left a LETTER with the Printer of the Dying Speeches, Directed to the Evidence Dyer, wherein he forgave him as he hop'd for Forgiveness; Exhorted him earnestly to Repentance, and made Use of the best Perswasions he was Master of, to Reflect upon what was past, and to bid a final Adieu to such Impious proceedings as they had been Notoriously engag'd in. And

To the same Effect almost he left another Letter directed to One Mr R. W. whose Name he desired might be Conceal'd, being as he said) fully Convinced he would not be guilty any more of such Enormous Practices, and that now his Shameful Death would Effectually work a Compleat Conviction and Reformation in him.

This is all the Account that can be given by me
