Humiliations followed with deliverances a brief discourse on the matter and method of that humiliation which would be an hopeful symptom of our deliverance from calamity accompanied and accommodated with a narrative of a notable deliverance lately received by some English captives from the hands of cruel Indians and some improvement of that narrative : whereunto is added A narrative of Hannah Swarton, containing a great many wonderful passages, relating to her captivity and deliverance.Humiliations follow'd with deliverances a brief discourse on the matter and method of that humiliation which would be an hopeful symptom of our deliverance from calamity accompanied and accommodated with a narrative of a notable deliverance lately received by some English captives from the hands of cruel Indians and some improvement of that narrative : whereunto is added A narrative of Hannah Swarton, containing a great many wonderful passages, relating to her captivity and deliverance.

An Excellent Minister, who dyed among us, a Young Man, Considerably more than Twenty years ago, [It was Mr. John Eliot, the younger,] when he ⟨p. 32⟩lay on his Death-bed, and was Drawing his Presagious Breath, had these Memorable Expressions. My Lord Jesus Christ, hath been a Great while, preparing a Mansion, which is now ready for me. He will quickly take me, as He did John, by the Right Hand, and present me unto the Father, who has Loved me, with an Everlasting Love. As for New England, I believe, that God will not Unchurch it; but He will make a Poor and Afflicted People in it Boston, and the Massachuset Colony, is Coming Down, Coming Down, Coming Down a pace! Expect sad and sore Afflictions; but Oh! Get an Interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you may Live on That, all the World over. So spoke an Eminent Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, when he was just Entering into the Joy of His Lord. Now this Prediction, we have seen very terribly Accomplished; It has been Strangely and Sadly Accomplished, ever since the Time that it was uttered: And in almost all our Concerns, our Story hath been that in Judg. 2.15.
