From the St. James's Evening-Post, Nov. 12. Paris, Nov. 10.
It is written from Niot in the province of Pojctou, that 26
persons were seized there on suspicion of holding assemblies
for worshipping God in the Protestant way, one of whom named
Briffant, had been condemned to be hanged,. . . [23 lines]
When he had got up the ladder, he began to sing the 51st
Psalm, but the executioner gave him not time enough to make
an end, but turned him off. Many of the Roman Catholicks
were thereupon so shocked that they were observed to shed
tears.
