An essay for the recording of illustrious providences

The ⟨p. 163⟩Man went up the great Bay in his Boat to a Farm he had there, and while haling Wood or Timber to the Boat he was disturbed by the Stones as before at home. He carried a stirrup iron from the house down to the Boat, and there left it; but while he was going up to the house, the iron came jingling after him through the Woods, and returned to the house, and so again, and at last went away, and was heard of on more. Their Anchor leapt over-board several times as they were going home and stopped the boat. A Cheese hath been taken out of the Press and crumbled all over the floor. A piece of Iron with which they weighed up the Cheese-press stuck into the Wall, and a Kettle hung up thereon. Several Cooks of English-hay mowed near the house, were taken and hung upon Trees; and some made into small wisps, and put all up and down the Kitchen, Cum multis al•is, &c. After this manner, have they been treated ever since at times; it were endless to particularize. Of late they thought the bitterness of Death had been past, being quiet for sundry days and nights: but last week we•e some Returnings again; and this week (Aug. 2. 1682.) as bad or worse than ever. The Man is sorely hurt with some of the ⟨p. 164⟩Stones that came on him, and like to feel the effects of them for many days. Thus far is that Relation.
