this_o question_n in_o the_o first_o place_n for_o it_o show_v that_o you_o first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o i_o shall_v glad_o and_o brief_o satisfy_v your_o demand_n about_o twenty_o year_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o saviour_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v see_v by_o the_o people_n of_o renfusa_fw-la a_o city_n upon_o the_o eastern_a coast_n of_o our_o island_n within_o night_n the_o night_n be_v cloudy_a and_o calm_a as_o it_o may_v be_v some_o mile_n in_o the_o sea_n a_o great_a pillar_n of_o light_n not_o sharp_a but_o in_o form_n of_o a_o column_n or_o cylinder_n rise_v from_o the_o sea_n a_o great_a way_n up_o towards_o heaven_n and_o on_o the_o top_n of_o it_o be_v see_v a_o large_a cross_n of_o light_n more_o bright_a and_o resplendent_a than_o the_o body_n of_o the_o pillar_n upon_o which_o so_o strange_a a_o spectacle_n the_o people_n of_o the_o city_n gather_v apace_o together_o upon_o the_o sand_n to_o wonder_v and_o so_o after_o put_v themselves_o into_o a_o number_n of_o small_a boat_n to_o go_v near_o to_o this_o marvellous_a sight_n but_o when_o the_o boat_n be_v come_v within_o about_o sixty_o yard_n of_o the_o pillar_n they_o find_v themselves_o all_o bind_v and_o can_v go_v no_o further_o yet_o so_o as_o they_o may_v move_v to_o go_v about_o but_o may_v not_o approach_v near_o so_o as_o the_o boat_n

and_o illu●ions_n of_o all_o sort_n i_o do_v here_o acknowledge_v and_o testify_v before_o this_o people_n that_o the_o thing_n we_o now_o see_v before_o our_o eye_n be_v thy_o finger_n and_o a_o

find_v the_o boat_n he_o be_v in_o movable_a and_o unbound_a whereas_o all_o the_o rest_n remain_v still_o fast_o and_o take_v that_o for_o a_o assurance_n of_o leave_n to_o approach_v he_o cause_v the_o boat_n to_o be_v soft_o and_o with_o silence_n row_v towards_o the_o pillar_n but_o ere_o he_o come_v near_o it_o the_o pillar_n and_o cross_n of_o light_n break_v up_o and_o cast_v itself_o
