 brought into the ftar-chamber ; all of whom, upon their 

 examination, confcffcd the impofture, and afterwards pub- 

 licly confirmed their conftfTion before the people at St. Paul's

 Barton, and five of her accomplices, were beheaded at Ty-

 ignorant woman, having made a previous acknowledge-
