But in regard saith my Author that the People are not now to be imposed upon as formerly when they used such ways to rear those costly Foundations that are scattered over all Europe they resolved to keep what they had not finding the Monks made better use of their Money than they themselves could do I suppose it will not be deemed presumption to assert that these dreadful shakings of the Earth did seem plainly to presage those Convulsions that happened soon after and may presignify good as well as bad Events Not only the happy Revolutions in these three Kingdoms but also the horrid ruins devastations and miseries which the ambition and barbarity of the French King has occasioned lately in Christendom and which do still continue LXIV Dismal was the Calamity and Judgment which befel the Inhabitants of the Island of Jamaica in the West-Indies upon Tuesday June 7. 1692. by a dreadful Earthquake For about eleven a Clock in the morning the Earth suffered a great Trepidation which in a minutes time was increased to that degree that several Houses began to rumble down and in six or seven minutes or a quarter of an hour at the most made terrible havock and devastation It threw down almost all the Houses Churches Sugar-works Mills and Bridges through the whole Country It tore the Rocks and Mountains and threw them into the Sea but Port Royal had much the greatest share in this astonishing Judgment of God The Minister of that place relates That the same Morning he had been at Prayers in the Church which he never neglected to keep up some shew of Religion amongst a most ungodly debauched People and was gone to a place hard by the Church where the Merchants use to meet and where the President of the Council was designing to dine with one Captain Ruden but his House upon the first concussion sunk first into the Earth and then into the Sea with his Wife and Family and some others that were come to dine with him but the Minister staying some time with the President escaped the danger yet soon after they found the ground rowling and moving under their feet Lord Sir says the Minister What 's this He replied very composedly being a sober grave man It is an Earthquake be not afraid it will soon be over but it increased and they heard the Church and Tower fall upon which they ran to save themselves The Minister quickly lost the President and made toward Morgans Fort which being a wide open place he thought to be securest from falling Houses but as he came near he saw the Earth open and swallow up a multitude of People and the Sea mounting in over the Fortifications He then laid aside all thoughts of escaping and resolved to make towards his own Lodgings and there to meet death in as good a posture as he could and in his way was forced to run through two or three very narrow streets where the Houses and Walls fell on each side of him and some Bricks came rowling over his Shoes but none hurt him When he came to his Lodgings he found all things safe not a Picture of which there were several fair ones in his Chamber displaced He went to the Balconey to view the street in which his House stood and saw never an House down there nor the Ground so much as crackt The People seeing him there cryed out for him to come down and pray with them When he came into the street every one laid hold on his Cloths and embraced him so that with their fear and kindness he was almost stifled He persuaded them at last to kneel down and make a large ring which they did he pray'd with them near an hour when being almost spent with the heat and the exercise they brought him a Chair the Earth working all the while with new motions and tremblings like the rowling of the Sea insomuch that when he was at Prayer he could hardly keep himself upon his Knees By that time he had been about half an hour with them aggravating their sins and provocations and feriously exhorting them to repentance there came some Merchants of the place who desired him to go aboard some Ship in the Harbour refresh himself having got a Boat to carry him off so when he came to the Sea he saw it had swallowed up the Wharf with all those goodly brick Houses upon it most of them as fine as those in Cheapside and two intire Streets beyond that He walked upon the tops of some houses that lay level with the surface of the Water from whence he gotfirst into a Canoo and then into a Long-Boat which put him a Board a Ship called the Siam Merchant where he found the President safe who was overjoyed to see him they could not sleep that night for the returns of the Earthquake almost every hour which made all the Guns in the Ship jar and rattle The next day he went from Ship to Ship to visit those that were bruised and dying and to pray with them and likewise to do the last Office at the sinking of several Corps that came floating from the Point The shakings of the Earth still continued with Thunder and Lightning and foul Weather and the People continued still as desperately wicked as before for that very day this terrible Earthquake happened as soon as night came on a Company of lend Rogues called Privateers fell to breaking open Warehouses and Houses deserted To rob and rifle their Neighbours whilst the Earth trembled under them and some of the Houses fell on them in the Act and those audacious Whores that remained upon the place were as impudent as ever He went again ashoar to pray with the bruised and dying people and to Christen Children where he met too many Drunk and Swearing he did not spare them nor the Magistrates neither who had suffered wickedness to grow to such a height In

The first shall be the Copy of a Letter sent from an Abbot in France giving a Relation of an Hermit living in that Countrey who seems to revive the ancient simplicity and innocency of that solitary Life to which some pious men in former ages confined themselves thereby to be freed from the noise and hurries of the World and to devote their minds wholly to the Service of God Which being so very unlike the lazy Luxurious Lives of the generallity of the present Romish Monks and Fryers may be somewhat diverting after the reading the former melancholy Relations And I shall give it you in the Abbots own words as I sind them in the Memoirs of the Present State of Europe for the Month of May 1692. Sir It is now eleven years and an half that the famous Father Hermit has been received into the Wood of my Abby but I can assure you that at this hour I know him no more than the first day I saw him This venerable Old Man has been so careful to conceal his Name Family Countrey Age and all that could make him known that neither I nor any of his Brethren nor as I fancy any other Person has ever known any thing of him touching his Bitth Having told him one day that the example of a man of his Quality had mighty Efficacy He cry'd out immediately telling me that he was nothing and that if the rumour went he was something he would depart the Province the next day insomuch that I never mentioned it to him but once since It is now about a month that the occasion lay fair for so doing He told me with some heat that all that was said of his Birth was Lie and Fiction About seven years ago he was grievously sick and forsaken by his Physicians The most antient of his Brethren and whom he most cherished conjured him to make himself known at least to them promising never to discover it till after his death He refused him with a rebuke telling him that it was above 40 years that he had laboured to conceal himself and that he would make him lose a work of a so many years in one quarter of an hour The truth is that in the Province of Burgundy where he remained a long while the report ran that he was the Natural Son of King Henry IV. and as soon as he came hither the same report was scattered here What gave occasion to it so far as I can judge is his great presence and his Majestick Ayr which causes him to be beloved and respected generally by all People his noble and easy carriage and behaviour his countenance wherein are observed many seatures of that of Henry le Grand his quick wit and gay hamour but more especially that profound silence he observes to prevent his being known for the more he would be concealed the more People strive to know who he is and the less he speaks of himself the more he is discourst of As concerning his Age it is difficult to know it exactly When he came hither which was in June 1676 he told me he was 70 years old Since he has said he was about the Age of the Bishop of Angiers who is above ninety He formerly told me he had seen the Moors go out of Spain when they were driven thence and that he was then tall In fine his Brethren by other circumstances affirm him to be ninety four years old Now follows what I know of his Life and which I have learnt from himself That until the Age of 20 years he had been well educated which was the Cause of his great Vigor That he had born Arms without being wounded That thinking to retire from the World he had examined all the different manners of living in the Religious Orders and that nothing had pleased him so much as the Hermitick Life after the manner it subsisted in the time of the first Hermits of the East That this was that he imbraced That for this purpose he had gone into Italy and had retired into a Forrest that belonged to the Republick of Venice whence he had been driven by the frequent visits of the people of that Countrey That thence he went into Germany and that to see a brave Hermit he willingly went 3 or 400 Leagues That being since retired into the Kingdom of France he had remained in Lorrain Champagne in Lionnois in Burgundy and lastly in Anjou And that where ever he had been he had built Hermitages and had assembled Companions I fancy you will not be sorry that I give you such a particular account of his establishment in this Province since I am a Witness of it This good old man having left the Diocess of Langres by reason as his Brethren told me of the report that was spread there of his being the Son of Henry IV. of France He took the Resolution of going to settle with one of his Companions in Normandy upon the Sea side Having fallen down as far as Saumur upon the River Loire he understood there was a Forrest in that Neighbourhood where he might erect a fine Hermitage This Forrest is called the Wood of Brossuy belonging to M. de la Meilleraye The next day he went with his Companion to view that Forrest but having found no Water in it he lost hopes of being able to retire thither At his coming out of the Wood this good old Man being wearied and perceiving our Abbey he came to it to refresh himself I received him and falling presently to discourse of solitude and retreat he
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.
