1. There was a Widow in Austins time, who craved very importunately both by word and writing, some consolations from him, to support her under that incomparable cross of her husbands loss, and widow-hood; and as it may seem, she desired to know whether she should know him in the second life.

And tells her further, that there shall be no stranger in heaven, &c.
