  Self-homicide-murther, or, Some antidotes and arguments gleaned out of the treasuries of our modern casuists and divines against that horrid and reigning sin of self-murther by T.P., Esq. ...

summary:
  Out of these general descriptions of the Law of Nature , I may spin out this Definition ; The Law of Nature is the universal Law of the World , concerning some common necessities to which we are inclin'd by Nature , invited by Consent , prompted by Reason , and bound upon us by the command of God : and the first part of this Definition is strengthened , and made evidently true , by the aptnesses of the Heathen to Justice , and disposition to Laws , concreated with their understandings , which are stil'd by the Schools , Species congenitae & concreatae ; and by Minsinger and Civil Law , they are nam'd , Praecepta seu formulae honestatis praeceptae , signatures or draughts of moral honesty stamp'd upon the hearts of men in their first creation by God Himself , which super-induce and imprint upon their Consciences such Fears and Opinions , that pass upon mankind the obligation and reverence of Laws . Now , self-preservation is of universal extent and latitude , and so wound up with the Law of Nature , that it is made by Vlpian to be the Law itself ; for thus he defines it , Jus naturale est , ( says he ) quod natura omnia animalia docuit ; a natural right that Nature hath taught every creature : and this is evident in the youngest creatures , in whom , though there be but slender principles of Life , and faint evidences of a Being , yet if you attempt to destroy them by drowning , or any other engine of ruine , with what strugling and reluctancy will they endeavour to decline their early and angry fate , is notoriously obvious ; and if it hold good in these creatures that are guided only by such a glimmering principle of sense , then should it be much more eminently manifest in man , in whom God hath planted reason , to check and controul the unruly and disordered passions of the soul , and especially to repress those two imperious and insolent Tribunes of it , the irascible and concup●scible appetite .

  The vvitty rogue arraigned, condemned, & executed. Or, The history of that incomparable thief Richard Hainam. Relating the several robberies, mad pranks, and handsome jests by him performed, as it was taken from his own mouth, not long before his death.

Also, with his confession, concerning his robbing of the King of Scots. Together with his speech at the place of execution. / Published by E.S. for information & satisfaction of the people.

summary:
  Sir , sayes Hainam , I am loath to trouble you till you have done your businesse , lest you in minding my businesse , you should commit an error in telling your money , which would put you to a double labour to tell it over again ; but so it fell out , the Gentl●man did mistake and so was fain to tell it over again , which Hainam eyed very diligently ; insomuch that he took an exact account ( by his telling ) how much there was ; and also it fell out , that there was a parcell of about 14 thirteenpence halfpennies which he put in a paper by themselves , and noted on the paper how many there was , which Hainam observed , and when the Gentleman had done , he put the rest of the money in the bag , and also the paper of odd monies , which Hainam well noted ; and afterwards the Gentleman took a piece of paper and writ upon it the value of it , which was 70 and odde pounds , and he being going forth of Town , left a direction upon the bag who he would have it payed to ; which he easily observed by leaning on his elbow ; and also observed where he laid the money . The Speech and Confession of Mr. Richard Hainam , on Tuesday last in the rounds of Smithfield , immediately before his fatal Leap from off the Ladder .

  A discourse of self-murder lately written, and now published as a disswasive from so horrid and inglorious a thing. By E.P., in a letter to his intimate friend R.F. Licens'd, November 24. 1691.

summary:
  And though 't is not our part to judge , yet we may have the liberty to fear his future disposal ; for he is gone without a Psalm of mercy , and had no 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to refresh him in his last Agony . Besides , 't is well known , this man is not so discerning as to detect what that mans apprehensions of things are : 'T is a kind of Sagacity we must confess we all fall short of .

  An essay concerning self-murther wherein is endeavour'd to prove that it is unlawful according to natural principles : with some considerations upon what is pretended from the said principles, by the author of a treatise intituled, Biathanatos, and others / by J. Adams ...

summary:
  Not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for a Pattern to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Insolence broke that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was the Death of so many 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . If it be said that the Common People have not this Notion of Honour , that something is due to them 〈◊〉 truely I think nothing at all , much less Life it self , nay Honour too ; for if a Man does an unjust thing to satisfie the Multitude , and to preserve his Credit among them , he Sacrifices true Honour to an empty Name ; and yet the Multitude it self , to do it Justice , is seldom so bad a Judge of Praise and Disgrace , as to reckon a Man's Honour , in such Circumstances as we have been speaking of , vindicated by killing of himself ; for by Honour here must be meant either his Innocence or his Courage .
