aforementioned as well as by divers others The last Relation is as certain as the two former of which I shall likewise give the Names of the Persons and their Places of aboad as it came in a Letter from Hitchin in Hartferdshire as followeth Hitchin Jan. 6. 1693. Dear Sir Yours I received the last Night As to the Person you enquire after and the Lord's work upon him take it in short as followeth His Name is David Wright about 27 or 28 Years of Age he lived two or three Miles from hence for some Years in the capacity of a Shepherd his Distemper of Body by the Evil rendring him uncapable of any hard Work At Michaelmas 1693. he desired a Religious Woman to take him into her Service which she was unwilling to do because he was a prophane Wretch and much given to Swearing and other Vices but upon his promising a Reformation and that he would go to Hear the Word Preach'd she Hired him yet he afterward went on in his Evil Courses and would not go to Hear But Nov. 29. last past having notice that there was a Sermon to be Preach'd at Hitchin by one Mr. Edward Coles a worthy Minister his Mind was so much sixt to go and Hear him that notwithstanding the same day he had a Brother came for him with a Horse to go some Miles another way about urgent Business of his own yet he could by no means be prevailed with to go with him of which Resolution he says he can give no reason in himself He came to Hear and the Word made such deep Impression upon his Mind that his Soul was Converted and his Body Healed at the same time He declares that while the Minister was Preaching his hard Heart was softened and the Eyes of his Mind inlightened whereby he had Faith in his Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that at the same time he found his Body Cured of the Evil under which he had long Languished and is fully perswaded he shall never have it again But however God may please to do as to that this is certain that he hath been very well from the 29th of November to this very day But the Change upon his Soul is more remarkable than the Cure of his Body To see such a poor grosly ignorant Wretch so suddenly Changed and to hear him blessing and praising of God and admiring his Grace and Love to him That he who knew nothing one hour before should now speak so sensibly of Jesus Christ and heavenly things This is to the astonishment and admiration of all that knew him As to his bodily Distemper he has had the King's Evil for about steen or sistxteen Years past and was formerly Touched by King Charles the Second At first he was forced to keep his Bed for several Weeks together great Pains and divers running Sores upon him but for about twelve Years past he has been in Service for the most part yet never in Health all the while but had Running Sores which were sometimes skinn'd over and swell'd and then he was at the worst and felt most Pain till they broke and run again He has had these Sores in many parts of his Body of which the Scars are visible and two continued in the same place in the small of his Back a long while and at the time when he came to Hear the Sermon aforementioned they were skinn'd over and swell'd so that he was in very great Pain and could not keep pace with his Company but while he was Hearing the swelling of his Sores sunk insensibly and he was well on a sudden and all his Pain was gone so that as they returned home he went before them leaping rejoycing and praising God for his great Mercy and Loving kindness to him all the way he went After he came home he continued to admire the exceeding Grace of God to so vile and ignorant a Sinner as he was and spent most part of the Night in this heavenly Exercise and still remains in this admirable frame of Heart Much more might be mentioned but this may suffice at present from Yours c. We whose Names are hereunto subscribed do hereby attest and declare That living in the same Family with David Wright we were Eye and Ear-witnesses of the Truth of the foregoing particulars concerning him and in confirmation of the Verity thereof we have hereto put our Hands Slape Drever Tho. Drever Both Sons to the Mistress of the House with whom David Wright dwelt Thomas Child Joseph Morgan In short as Atheism and Prophaneness it may be never more abounded than in the present Age so the Almighty hath not lest himself without witness of his Power and Providence in the World by several Examples both of Judgment and Mercy And a Race of Impious Wretches being risen up who deny the Divinity of our Blessed Lord and Saviour The Almighty by these repeated Instances of Supernatural Power seems at this time loudly to assert and proclaim the Godhead of our Glorious Redeemer since such Miracles are new wrought by Faith in Jesus Christ as very much resemble those done by himself when he was in the State of Humanity FINIS A Catalogue of Books Printed for Nath.
