| Strange News from WESTMORELAND. / Being a true Relation of one Gabriel Harding, who coming home Drunk, struck his Wife a / blow on the Breast and killed her out-right; then did he forswear the evil Deed which he knew / himself guilty of. Likewise how a stranger did come to the House cloathed in Green, the people / that were eye witnesse said it was an Angel. Likewise how the Stranger or Angel did give Sen- / tence upon the man for killing of his Wife. Also how Satan did break the mans Neck that did / forswear himself; and the Stranger or Angel did command Satan to hurt none else, and to va- / nish: which being done, there was a pleasant Harmony of Musick heard to sound: Then did / the Stranger cloathed in Green, take his leave of the people; whereof the chiefest in the Parish / desired it might be put in Print, and have hereunto set their Hands. | |
