March the 11th. 1676.
In my first Sleep, in the Night time,
many magical Workings and Ideas were
presented to me. As first, a Figure of a
Woman, with a Crown upon her Head,
who seemed to me to be but of a small
Stature, but her Visage was bright as the
Sun, and clear as the Moon, with a
White loose Garment girt about her with
a seeming White Silken Girdle, who
came near to me, saying, Behold and
see, what ye may arrive to be in me?
And so passed away.
Then after a while, there was a Child
all Lovely and Fair put into my Arms;
it was all naked, of a smooth shining
Skin; I could not see who it was that
disposed it to me, but it was unexpect∣edly
let down into my Arms. I thought
it to be very Weighty, though but lit∣tle;
so passing to go away with it, it
suddainly slipped through my Arms unto
the Ground, at which I gave a great
descriptionPage 122
Screek, and with great Fear and Con∣cern,
took it up again without much
Damage.
