« Up ; and after sending my wife to my aunt Wight’s to get a place to see Turner hanged, I to the office, where we sat all the morning. And at noon, going to the Change and seeing people flock in that, I enquired and found that Turner was not yet hanged ; and so I went among them to Leadenhall Street at the end of Lyme Street, near where the robbery was done, and to St Mary Axe, where I lived ; and there I got for a shilling to stand upon the wheel of a cart, in great pain, above a hour before the execution was done – he delaying the time by long discourses and prayers one after another, in hopes of a reprieve ; but none came, and at last was flung off the lather in his cloak. A comely-looked man he was, and kept his countenance to the end – I was sorry to see him. It was believed there was at least twelve or fourteen thousand people in the street. »
