Inasmuch as things which are preternatural, and not accomplished without diabolical operation, do more rarely happen, it is pity but that they should be observed. Several Accidents of that kind have happened in New-England; which I shall here faithfully Relate so far as I have been able to come unto the knowledge of them.
