A strange Relation of one Mary Spence, born at Woburn in Buckinghamshire, who, at ten years of age, being in perfect health, fell into a Trance, and lay dead for three days and nights together, when just as they were going to close up the coffin in order to carry her to the church to be buried, she came to life again, to the great amazement of all that saw her — After some time she declared to all then present. what strange and wonderful things she had heard and seen in the other world, as the joys of heaven, and the dismal amazing torments of hell.

How an Angel, in a white garment, told her what should shortly happen to Great Britain, France, and Ireland, which would as surely come to pass, as that she should die in three days after, which happened accordingly.

To which is added, Her last Prayer, Written by her own hand a little before she died; which she left as a Legacy to all young Persohs of both Sexes, to put them in mind of Mortality.
