A Prediction is a forewarning of a person more plainly and expressly of any thing which is afterwards to fall out or come to pass:1 and a prediction of death is an express notice or message informing us of our own, or of another's Death, to the end the mind may be actually disposed to an expectation thereof.

Of Signs, some are ordinary and natural, some extraordinary and supernatural, or at least preternatural.
There are natural symptoms and prognostics of Death which are common to most dying persons, and by which Physicians inform themselves and others of the state of the Sick. These are out of this Question, we have nothing to do with them here, but I am inquiring after extraordinary signs and predictions by words, or things forewarning us immediately, or by others of our approaching death. The Question is whether such intimations of Death be at any time truly given unto men; or whether we are to take them for fabulous reports, and superstitious fancies.
