I will mention now but these few.
I. That of Mr. Tate in Ireland, mentioned by Mr. Clark, and Mr. Ambrose, and confirmed to me by his near Relations that knew of it. Dr. Tate, with his Wife and Children, being stripped, and forced to flee for their Lives, by the Irish, when they were ⟨p. 160⟩murdering Thousands in their Rebellion in 1641. They were wandering in unknown places upon Commons covered with Snow; and having no Food, and she carrying a Sucking Child, and having no Milk, she went to lay down the Child to die; and on the Brow of a Bank she found a Suck-bottle with sweet Milk in it, no Foot-steps appearing in the Snow of any that should bring it thither, and far from any Habitation; which preserved the Child's Life, who after became a Blessing to the Church.
