Summary
This quote suggests that when criminals face imminent death, such as being hanged on a gallows, they often display a sudden remorse or repentance for their actions. It underscores the idea that in moments of desperation and facing the consequences of their deeds, criminals may attempt to seek redemption or convince others of their change in character. However, it also implies the potential insincerity of this transformation, as their preaching may be seen as a desperate attempt to save themselves rather than a true expression of remorse.
