A true Relation of Gods heavy Iudgement upon a most wicked curser and Blaspheamer.  
IN Schooelane in London liveth one mistress Letsum, which her neighbour having lost a small rag, which was a Dish-cloath, her neighbour challenging her for it, she not considering who she was before, nor the iustice of the Lord, which is the rewarder of sin: for the Lord himself saith, that he will reward every man according to his deserts; so the Lord seeing the wickedness of this woman, he left her over to herself to work her own destruction both of body and soul, without the great mercy of God to put to his supporting his hand: for shee rashly and presumptuously, not having the fear of God before her eyes, fell a cursing in a most wicked manner, desiring that she might not alive if shee had not that dish-cloth: So according to her own wicked desire, the Lord in iustice laid the same affliction on her: for the first night her legs did swell as big as a bodies middle; and the next night they were as black as a shoe, and so remain in a most woeful m●nner to the terror and amazement of all the beholders. Now let us all look to the Lords afflicting those that transgress, a reward for such a wicked blasphemous wretch, that knowing her conscience guilty of that fact, to call Gods vengeance on her head. Now let all good Christians petition the Lord to mollify the heart of this woman, and give her a sight of her sins, and make her to know whom she hath offended, being the Lord of heaven and earth, giving her a heart of flesh, truly to repent for her sins, and that shee may become a new Creature, and likewise to bee a warning to all others to set a watch before their lips; and examine their own Consciences before they speak: for this woman, knowing that in ●er own Conscience shee was guilty, she called for a heavy vengeance of the Lord to fall upon her if shee had this small trifle: the thing was little, and therefore the greater was the sin: shee, because she would have carried it clear to the view of the world, she thought there was no rewarder: but according as she deserved, so it came to pass, and at this time she doth rot as she liveth on the erath.  
We have had many of these examples, but we cannot taken warning: as it lately fell ●ut at the sun in Warwick, the bostesse of the house and her husband desired the devil to fetch them, if they had the souldiers money: so accordingly as they desired it came to pass, for the devil presently seized on them before that great assembly. Also a main in Coventrie, that desired, that when shee married any other man but onely that soldier, the devil might fetch her alive that very day: So shee in the midst of her jollity, with her Bride-groom and the rest of her company, he whom she desired might fetch her, came to led her a dance, which was a terrible one to her, for he carried her from her bridegroom to keep her wedding with him, which must needs prove most horrid and fearrful: So now we have the like example here, the Lord guide the hearts of all people else, that they may not presume to provoke so good a God as he is, slow to anger, but full of Iustice to punish sins, sins grown to its full height, in the hearts of the people, for they neither regard God nor his punishments: but the Lord grant that we may all in general become new Creatures, and that these examples may work a reformation in every one of our hearts, that we may do as the Apostle saith, work out our own salvation with fear and trembling: and give us grace to make good use of all his afflictions, and that we may not fall into the like conditions of this Creature, that is under the cure of Mr. Simmons chirurgeon in Shue-lane, near Harp-Ally: but there is small hope of cure, the Lord be merciful to her soul, and sand that this affliction of her body may bee a rejoicing of her soul, and grant as the body decays, the soul may be strengthened in grace, and that shee may in this affliction lay hold on Christ her onely Saviour: for without which, there is no hope to bee looked for: for he is the strongest fortress that can be both for soul and body: God grant wee may all lay hold on him, that he may be our shield and sure defence in all times of ●eed, to Gods glory, and the comfort of all in general.   

Here also followeth a true Relatian of another affliction that befell a child, who was burned in Spittle fields on monday the 14. of December, 1642.  
ON Wednesday last happened a great mischance in a tenement in the Spittle Fields; A wicked wretch that is a beggar, and living of the alms of other good people, coming home, being wonderfully in drink, went and made a great fire in her house, and fetched herself more drink, till shee was so drunk that shee could neither go nor stand, shee left a great fire burning, and her child sitting by the same, and shee went to sleep, never regarding her child: for shee had so besotted herself with drink, that shee knew not what shee did. The child playing by the fire, fell with the face downward in the fire, not being able to help itself, burned with the fire, till some part of it was burned to coals, the mother never hearing the cries of the child, which wee may think was pitiful. At last one of the neighbours came home, and entred the house, and was the sad Spectator of that most woeful and lamentable object, a heavy and doleful sight to behold. The mother when shee awaked, was not come to herself again. A woeful condition, that drink should overcome any one so. God grant this may bee a warning to all other parents, that they may prevent the like danger hereafter. Thus you have a sad story here at home. God grant it may be the last; and so let all good people say, Amen.   

A true Relation of a fearful example of Gods judgement upon some Cavaliers near Oxford, who blasphemously cursing the Parliament, and calling them Round-headed Rogues, ●ust ell into the pit themselves they digged for others.  
IT is very credibly reported, that divers Cavaliers of the Dammists, were very merry together; and one amongst the rest, swore, God damn him, he could make a firework that would kill, destroy, wound, and strike amazement into the Parliaments Round-headed Rogues, that with a firework of green glass that and could make, which he learned at Antwerp, he would destroy a thousand roundheads together, and swore, the devil fetch him body and soul alive, and if he did not put it in practise the next morning; which was done: then divers of the Cavaliers were met together, to see the event. And when the foresaid Cavalier had finished his project, he would show the event of it, the glass broken, and killed him, and two more that were about him, and struck another stark blind, and wounded seven more, singing the hair from their heads and beards. And the chirurgeon doth think they will hardly escape with life. This was credibly certified to Mr. Filman in Thames Street, by a letter sent to him from his friend the chirurgeon, Thomas Davis.  
This was done in a Village about a mile beyond Oxford, the Villages name is Wolvercot, where these Cavaliers lay.
