STrange it is , that this Nation whose Natives for Humanity and good Nature have been accounted of , throughout the known World , should so much degenerate in these latter Ages , as to produce a sort of Men , who are so wedded to obstinacy and grounded in Rebellious Principles , that no favours can oblige them to peaceable Obedience and honest Loyalty , nor fear of Punishment deter them from offending against the known Laws , much less induce them to a hearty compliance with their Duty and Allegiance to their Sovereign , though they are not in the least ignorant that the Laws of God and Man , most strictly enjoyn it ; the one under the Penalty of Eternal , and the other under that of Temporal or Corporal Punishment , nay , so restle●s & Implacable is this Fanatick Generation , of Men that pretend to so much Zeal and Fervency ; shrouding their Diabolical Designs and Treasonable Enterprizes under the Veil of Hypocrisie , that rather than their Malice to involve us in Blood and Mischief , shall be unimployed , they will choose to Act not only contrary to the Rules of Reason , but frequently contrary to the Dictates of their own Consciences , doing those things which they are Conscious ; they ought to flie and avoid , as may be observed in the Practice , or wicked undertaking of Mr. Disinie whose Rashness has brought him shame and disgrace , in the following Manner .

This Person being well descended of Loyal Parentage , so far degenerated that contrary to the known Laws in which he was Practitioner , and in favour of the Rebels now in open Rebellion ; He Printed , and caused to be Printed , a Dangerous , Malicious , and Treasonable Libel , &c. To inflame , stir up , and incite his Majesties Subjects to Treason and Rebellion ; to bring which to pass he had gotten him a Press and Printing materials , at his House on Lambeth Side ; but as no Plots and Devices have hitherto been capable of prospering against our Gracious Sovereign , so this piece of wickedness was discovered e're it could be brought to the perfection intended , and immediately a Warrant delivered to one of his Majesties Messengers to apprehend the Partys and Papers , who accompanied with some Files of Musqueteirs , first beset the House , and then breaking open the Doors and runing up Stairs they sound Mr. Disinie in his Shirt , who at their approach cried out Thieves and Murther , but being secured , they found in his Breeches that ( lay upon a Chair ) a pair of Pocket Pistols and a Dagger with the Sheath fastened to the inside of the Pocket , and proceeding farther discovered some of the Papers , as likewise the Printing materials which were placed in a Celler that had formerly been a K tchen ; when taking him and one who went for his Female Servant ( but has since appeared to be his Nightly Companion ) they were after due Examination and proof of the Fact Committed , and on Monday the 21th . of June , 1685. A special Commission being issued out for that purpose , they were Arraigned at the Marshalsea in Southwark for High-Treason , and pleading not Guilty , Disinie desired Council but was denyed as not allowable in such Capital Cases , yet upon farther Request he had leave to make use of what Books he thought fit , to prepare him for his Defence , and time given him till the 25th . of June , 1685. When being brought to the Barr and the Indictment Read and opened , it appeared against him upon Oath , that he had actually Printed those Treasonable Libels , and publickly read one of them at the entertainment of some persons that came to visit him ; as likewise his Intention to disperse them ; together with the manner of Discovery , and finding the Libels , and printing materials , and other Circumstances so plainly Evident , that he could make little or no defence , whereupon , after a full hearing , wherein he had all the reasonable liberty imaginable to make his Objections the Jury found him Guilty of High-Treason , and he thereupon received Sentence , to be drawn upon a Hurdle to the place of Execution , there to be hang'd by the Neck not till dead , but being Cut down alive , his privy members to be Cut off , his B●wels taken out and Burnt before his Face , his Head to be severed from his Body , and his Body to be divided into four quarters , and to be disposed of at his Majesties pleasure .

After , Sentence he seemed much dejected , as being conscious of so great a Crime , by which so much mischief might have happened had not a timely Discovery prevented it ; and percieving the Day of Execution ( the reward of his Treasons ) approached , a concluding with himself that there could not be reasonably any mercy expected for so notorious a wickedness , he began seriously to bethink him of his past sins and of a future State ( appearing to such as attended him ) to be much concerned that he had pulled such miserie and disgrace upon himself , when he might have lived peaceably and happily had he followed his business , and much at that rate continued he till the Day , being the 29th . of June , & having taken leave of such Friends as came to pay him their last visit in the Marshalsea Prison , was put into a Sledge brought for that purpose , about Nine in the Morning , and attended with a strong Guard of the Sheriffs men and Constables , was conveyed to Kenington Common the place appointed for his Execution , appearing all the way much dejected , looking wishfully upon the People , and often lifting up his Hands and Eyes towards Heaven , continuing so to do , till he came to the place aforesaid where he was to suffer ; when being taken out of the Sledge and put into a Cart , he prayed to himself a considerable time , and was prayed with and exhorted to consider his latter end , seeing there were but a few moments between him and Eternity ; which done and the usual Devotion ended ( he not in the least denying the Fact for which he suffered , ) The Cart drew away ; when having hang'd a considerable time he was Cut down and quartered , &c. and his Quarters brought to Newgate , in Order to their being affixed on divers Gates of the City , &c. as a Monument of his Treason .
