Pamelius in the life of Cyprian tells us for a most certain and well attested truth, that upon his first entrance into Carubis (the place of his banishment) it was revealed to him in a dream, or vision, that upon that very day twelve-month, he should be consummate: which accordingly sell out; for a little before the time prefixed, there came suddenly two Apparators to bring him before the new Proconsul Galeius, 1by whom he was condemned, as having been a Standard-bearer of his Sect, and an Enemy of the Gods. Whereupon he was condemned to be beheaded, a multitude of Christians following him crying, Let us die together with him.

And as remarkable is that recorded by the learned and ingenious Doctor Sterne, of Mr. Usher of Ireland, a man, saith he,1 of great integrity, dear to others by his merits, and my kinsman in blood: who upon the eighth day of July, 1657. went from this to a better World. About four of the clock the day before he died, a Matron, who died a little before, and whilst living was dear to Mr. Usher, appeared to him in his sleep, and invited him to sup with her the next night: he at first denied her, but she more vehemently pressing her request on him, at last he consented, and that very night he died.
