Giving an account of one Willam Edwards a farmer, near the town of Maidſtone in Kent, who was charitable to the poor, his lands producing corn more plentiful than his neighbours, and like a good chriſtian ſold it to them at a low price. Nevertheleſs his wife was always grudging, what he did for the relief of the poor. On the 12th June laſt, coming home at night, he met a ſtranger cloathed in fine raiment, who deſired to lodge in his houſe, which being granted, he informed the farmer of many ſtrange wonders that would happen this year, that there would be a plentiful harveſt of corn, that blood battles would be fought, and then all Europe will enjoy a long expected peace.
