A96842	The vvonder of vvonders, or, a true relation of a late strange and miraculous accident that happened to one that dyed in the ship called, the Dunbar, who after he had been buried one shore above five daies, rise again, and standing upright in his grave, called to the fleet with a shrill voice at noon-day, telling them the events that should happen to all those ships that went towards the sound. With the several speeches made by him, to the wonderful astonishment and admiration of divers of the fleet, who were both hearers and eye-witnesses, and will justifie the truth of this great miracle. With a great and strange apparition of two armies that appeared in the north of England on Thursday last, with the exact manner of their engaging one another at noon-day with the thundring noise both of great and small shot		1659 (1659)	Wing W3359A; ESTC R231965	3,706	12

two great Armies had been on their march and advancing one against the other The Canons were heard to play with importunate fury and the Muskets on both sides in repeated volleys did discharge their cholerick errands During this incounter there were beheld many prodigious eruptions of sire which with great violence did fly in the Air and running lower did tear in pieces many strong Houses and laid great Trees on their backs which in an instance were plucked up by the roots There was not far off a Lime-kiln on which some part of the tempest did fall with so great violence that all the Lime was blown up in the Air Just as in a high storm the waters of the Sea are blown when the winds and the waves do wrastle for supremacy This being done that part of the fiery tempest which came so low was seen by all to take its course up the hill where it vanished away and was heard here no more noyse of it It is certified by several letters that this Tempest at the first did appear like a thick and rowling Smoak and sometimes it would cast it self into a great Circumference like to a great wheel or an Orbe not easie to be compassed The like storm also happened in Derbyshire and more particularly in Darby Town where although the Church stande u●on an advantage of higher ground then any other place yet some part of of the Church yard and Church it self hath been coverred by the insolence and usurpation of the waters and the lower parts of the Town being almost drowned the Inhabitants are compelled to betake themselves and take their goods along with them into the upper rooms for their present safety divers herds of Cattel have been destroyed by these inundations both there and in other parts In Scotland also they have lately suffered very much and in very many places by the late glut of rain and immoderate weeping of the Clouds which hath swelled the waters to so great a highth that about Leith the Mills are drowned and three thousand pounds will nor make good the losse or repair the outrages which the violence of the inundations have commited there By these and other great Flouds in divers parts whereby both harvest and Cattel have been carried away at once all the hopes of the lamenting husbandman is lost Saint Matthew witnesseth that Moses and Elias after they were dead many hundred years before Christ yet they appeared bodily and ghostly in Mount Tabor to Christ where they spake and communion together The soul of Lazarus did not only appear as John saith but he came again both soul and body in token of our rising again But as the appearing of those sights at Gods appointment were most true so it is most absurd to give credit that the souls of men after death do either by visions or by bodily appearance shew themselves but the Devil is well beaten in experience of things and knoweth best how he may deceive the wisest for he is subtile and crafty If the Marriner doth know when storm and tempests arise if the Physitian judgeth by the Urine the state and danger of the Patient if the skilful Astronomer can many years before exactly fortel the Eclipse of the Sun and Moon in fine if the souldier knoweth where the victory will happen no marvel it is that the Devil an old Souldier can foreshew things to come and make things apparent of nothing Thus have several miraculous appearances been in all ages which have produced strange alterations but the event of these time will make manifest FINIS
