a_o most_o wonderful_a and_o sad_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o one_o dorothy_n mattley_n late_a of_o ashover_n in_o the_o county_n of_o derby_n within_o fourteen_o mile_n of_o the_o say_a town_n of_o derby_n who_o for_o so_o small_a a_o thing_n as_o two_o single_a penny_n which_o she_o be_v charge_v with_o the_o take_n of_o from_o a_o boy_n do_v most_o presumptuous_o with_o sad_a imprecation_n wish_v and_o desire_n that_o if_o she_o have_v take_v or_o steal_v the_o same_o that_o the_o ground_n may_v open_v and_o she_o sink_v therein_o which_o by_o her_o neighbour_n relation_n be_v a_o expression_n very_o common_a with_o she_o but_o so_o it_o please_v god_n to_o deal_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o word_n the_o ground_n do_v open_a and_o she_o with_o a_o tub_n which_o she_o be_v wash_v lead-oare_n in_o sink_v into_o the_o ground_n to_o the_o amazement_n of_o the_o beholder_n and_o the_o ground_n close_v again_o upon_o she_o as_o here_o underneath_o it_o be_v more_o full_o declare_v and_o this_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o 23_o of_o march_n 1660._o all_o which_o may_v well_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o all_o wretch_n of_o this_o age_n whatsoever_o who_o to_o

themselves_o to_o compass_v their_o own_o end_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o judgement_n to_o be_v expect_v but_o they_o may_v hereby_o take_v notice_n that_o some_o time_n god_n will_v punish_v such_o creature_n even_o in_o this_o life_n for_o example_n sake_n yet_o if_o not_o here_o their_o reward_n will_v be_v according_a to_o their_o work_n hereafter_o and_o none_o shall_v be_v

strange_a i_o mean_v for_o to_o declare_v in_o this_o our_o time_n i_o think_v without_o compare_n in_o the_o month_n of_o march_n the_o three_o &_o twenty_o day_n as_o we_o in_o england_n do_v

dreadful_a ire_n upon_o one_o dorothy_n matley_n call_v by_o name_n as_o many_o neighbour_n can_v attest_v the_o same_o this_o wicked_a wretch_n it_o seem_v do_v think_v to_o get_v two_o single_a

sad_o scold_v and_o with_o sad_a imprecation_n be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o desire_v from_o god_n if_o â—ter_v she_o the_o same_o ere_o have_v she_o may_v example_n be_v unto_o the_o world_n if_o she_o such_o thing_n have_v do_v although_o there_o be_v more_o than_o suspicion_n to_o prove_v the_o same_o yet_o she_o do_v it_o deny_v and_o to_o her_o neighbour_n still_o will_v say_v and_o cry_v if_o i_o this_o money_n steal_v or_o it_o be_v find_v with_o i_o then_o let_v i_o sink_v into_o the_o ground_n in_o the_o place_n whereas_o i_o stand_v and_o let_v i_o be_v example_n to_o you_o all_o
