David Myles was executed for incest, at Edinburgh, on the 27th of November, 1702.

David Myles got the death penalty for having a relationship with his sister, Margaret. His execution notice told historians plenty about Myles's moral convictions and less about the veracity of the claims made against him.

As reported in the Broadside, he said at the scaffold:;

“Good People, give ear a while, I now confess before you all, That I was a very bad Liver, and a great Sabbath breaker, and not only a Sabbath breaker, but also a Swearer and Blasphemer of the Holy Name of GOD; and Guilty both of Incest and Fornication.”

There was no Broadside printed about his sister, who was also executed for the crime, a week before, perhaps due to the fact that, according to this report;

“She Dyed very obduredly and obstinately, and gave little or no satisfaction to the Spectators”

There’s nothing like a good bit of repentance to keep  a Calvinist crowd happy at an execution! Don’t expect details of the foul deeds though, in bygone days in Scotland it WAS all about the religion and repentance! 

For almost 300 years until the mid-19th century, broadsides filled the place occupied today by the tabloid press.

Originally they were single sheets of paper, printed on one side only, designed to be read unfolded and posted up in public places.

At first they were used for the printing of royal proclamations, acts, and official notices. Later they became a vehicle for political agitation and what is now known as ‘popular culture’, such as ballads and scaffold speeches.

Reports recounting dark and salacious deeds were popular with the public, and, like today's sensationalist tabloids, sold in large numbers. Crimes could generate sequences of sheets covering descriptive accounts, court proceedings, last words, lamentations and executions as they occurred. As competition was fierce, immediacy was paramount, and these occasions provided an opportunity for printers and patterers to maximise sales.

Here are the whole details as printed on this particular  broadside.

Words and Confession

DAVID   MYLES

Who was Executed for Incest, at Edinburgh, on the 27 Day of November, 1702.

DAvid Myles, having commited Incest with his Sister Margaret Myles, both were Condemn'd to be Hanged : the Woman upon the Twentieth and the Man upon the twenty Seventh of November, She Dyed very obduredly and Obstinately, and gave little or no satisfaction to the Spectators ; But he (a young man, not 2o years) dyed very Seriously and Christianly; for when he was brought to the place of Execution, Mr. James Heart Exhorted to Re-pentance, and now at his last Hour to confess, what he had to say, concerning his Crime before the People. Whereupon he went to the Eastern end of the scaffold, and said, Good People, give ear a while, I now confess before you all, That I was a very bad Liver, and a great Sabbath breaker, and not only a Sabbath breaker, but also a Swearer and Blasphemer of the Holy Name of GOD; and Guilty both of Incest and Fornication. I got a very ill Example from my Parents; Therefore I desire all you that are Parents to give a good Copy to your Children and desire that you would all pray to GOD for me; Where-upon the Auditors cryed out, Lord have Mercy upon his Soul ; And Mr. Heart Prayed to this purpose, viz. That God would give him a sight of his Sins, and open a Door of Mercy to him and that the infinit Goodness might speedily prevent him, &c. Then he sung the first 4 Verses of the 51 Psalm : which being done, he went to the Western end of the Scaffold, and earnesily prayed to GOD, to pardon all his sins, to wash him, and cleanse him from all his Iniquities, thro- his mercy, and with the Blood of Jesus Christ his Saviour: and that he was unworthy to come before so holy a GOD, for he was a great Sinner and Transgressor: His Sins were great and many, but tho' he was weary and heavy laden, yet hoped he would find Rest; and tho' his Body suffered upon the Gibbet, yet he hoped his soul would go to Glory, &c. Then he went up the Ladder, and weeping sore, entreated the Spectators to take warning by him, and avoid Sin, left they fall in the same snare. Then he said, O ye that are Parents of Children, God grant ye may cast them a better Copy than ever I got; And all ye that are young folk, who have your Years before your hands, seek God, and fly all Sin, for one Sin brings on another O all of you that see me this day, Take warning by me, and put up your petitions to God for me. Then Mr Heart prayed earnestly for him again ; who, when be had done, enquired at him if he was wiling to dye ? He answe ed, Ay, ay, I am very willing: my Offence is great, very great: I do not deserve nor desire to live, for I deserve both Torment here, and Torment hereafter : I am very weary of my Sins. Being enquired at, if he thought his Sentence just? or if he pardoned the Judges? He answered, My Sentence is very Just, I forgive the Judges, and all the World, and God forgive them. Mr. Heart asked him, what hope he had of his going to Heaven, or which, of the promises of the Bible he could lippen to, or rely upon. He answered, many, many, but the particular places do not Strik me in the mind, at present, Mr. Heart said, you told me in prison, of that in the 11 of Matthew, Came un- to me all ye that Labour, and are heavy Laden,and I will give you rest. whereupon he said, I indeed am in Labour, and am heavy laden, but I hope God will give me rest, and receive my Soul in Glory He confessed again, that he had been a great Sabbath breaker : After which Mr.Heart recommended him to GOD

報道というのは皮肉なもので、どんな不条理も悲劇も、歴史的瞬間も、死すらも、遍く不特定多数の人間に報じられた次の瞬間、彼らにとっては日常の退屈な一時を彩る「他人事」として消費される。 当事者性は、認知の拡散と引き換えに無力化し、野次馬が去ったあとには、義憤にかられた偽善者しか残らないのが常だ。 真実が軽んじられているのではない。真実など、古代エジプトの世から羽毛よりも軽かったではないか。

It is ironic that news reports, no matter how absurd, tragic, historical, or death, are reported to a large number of people, and the next moment, they are consumed as "other people's affairs" that add color to a dull moment in their daily lives. The being an involved party is neutralized in exchange for the spread of cognition, and after the onlookers leave, there is usually nothing left but righteous indignation hypocrist. It is not that the truth is being taken lightly. Truth has been lighter than a feather since the days of ancient Egypt.

This just in, I am apparently a generally likable and kind person. This news does conflict with earlier self reports of being a terrible goblin trash being but we will keep everyone updated as more developments on this story unfold. Now, here’s Bob with the weather!

Pay attention to news...

I've actually caught reports of where that's happened. It's cray how some disappear into their devices in public - cars, trains, subways, and even crosswalks.

The US soldier who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in protest of the genocide in Palestine is Aaron Bushnell.

This tweet will take you to his video where he discusses why he's doing this, and then the immolation itself, which the uploader has blurred. It also quote tweets the earlier initial frame where he's on fire.

Unfortunately, he has passed.
