Ballad Title Srange and true 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, and then denyed the same: Likewise how a Stran- / ger did come to the house cloathed in green, the people that were eye-witnesses said it was / an Angel, and how the Stranger (or Angel) did give sentance to the man for killing of his / Wife: Also how Satan did break the mans neck that did forswear himself. and the Stran- / ger (or Angel did command Satan to hurt none else, and to vanish; 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 into / print, and have hereunto set their hands.
