A strange and true relation of several wonderful and miraculous sights seen in the air in February last, and this present March 1661 : A clear sun shining in the east at midnight, with several rayes or beams, upon each of which hung the skeliton of a dead man, link'd together with serpents, and many Turkes and Greek and Hebrew letters ... Also three ships appeared at noon-day sailing on dry land, as on the water out of which came men with swords and spades, and armed soldiers, hacking and hewing as they went ... Likewise a great storm of haile blood-red, being so hard that puting it into the fire it could not be melted, but so soon as put in the water it turned it to blood. ... A woman appeared three several daies crying, repent, repent, the last day is at the dore. And a child in a white shirt appeared early in the morning to a watchman commanding him to say, beloved Christians the last day is not far off. This is confirmed by two posts and several gentlemen of quality. Likewise a true and exact description of a monstrous gyant lately discovered in Darbyshire ... shown to many persons of quality in and about the City.
