The proud squire reform'd. Being a great example both to rich and poor; in an account of one 'squire Howard, living near the town of Chard, in Somersetshire. Of his being in his Grove, and seeing at a Distance a labouring Man by the side of a Brook, eating Bread and drinking Water, to satisfy his Hunger and Thirst; and then returned Thanks to God for it. Likewise, An Account of the poor Man's Death, and the strange Manner of the Squire's Reformation who on returning homewards, heard a great Noise, and an Angel appearing, told him, The richest Man in the Parish should die that Night; and of the Leaves dropping off the Trees, and the Grass withering away. Several sufficient Persons in the said Parish can Testify the Truth hereof.
