Angelographia, or A discourse concerning the nature and power of the holy angels, and…

The report of this famous our being noised abroad, several Ministers met at Stamford to consider and consult about it, and concluded, that it was effected by the Ministry of a good Angel. But of this I have given a more large account in my Remarkable Providences p. 205. &c. There is in Mr. Glanvils Collections p. 208. &c. a Relation like unto these two last mentioned. No longer since then October 1676. a woman in Amsterdam, whose name was Jesch Claes, having been •ame fourteen years, one of her Legs being dead, there appeared to her a beautiful youth in white Garments, telling her, her Malady should leave her, and she should be made again to walk▪ Two days after which she heard a voice saying, It is given you to walk. Immediately upon which she went to the door, her Husband meeting her was affrighted, supposing he had seen a spirit; drew back from he•, and could not believe that it was his Wife, until his daughter testified, that is was her Mother, & that she had seen her walk before he came in. Fr. van Helmont being of a genius not apt to believe such things, made enquiry into the truth of this Relation, and found it to be really so. Limbergius in a Letter to Dr. More says, that this ⟨p. 12⟩person was reputed a very good Woman, & that he believed there was no fraud at all in the matter. This Apparition then must needs be either of a good or of an evil Angel. I see no reason to ascribe it to the latter. To proceed. Amyraldus relates a remarkable passage concerning the Chancellor of Navarre, which he had from Cameron, who received it from the Chancellor's own mouth. He being in a Town belonging to Bern, one night as he was a sleep, heard a voice calling him by his name Calignon, whereupon awaking, he soon fell asleep again: a little while after, he heard the same voice, calling to him a second time, which made a greater impression on him, yet fell asleep again. The voice awakened him the third time, then advising him to retire speedily out of the Town, saying, that within a few days the Plague would be there and rage dreadfully: He followed the advice given him, whereby himself and Family were delivered; for within few days the Plague began, and a great part of the Town was swept away thereby: Amyrald concludes that this voce was from a good Angel.
