☞ In Pag. 27. I have a Passage relating to St. Brightwald; for the better apprehending the Application whereof, I must Inform my Reader, This Holy Man was a great Lover of his Country; and seeing St. Ed∣ward the Confessor had no Heirs of his Body (and knowing the Turbu∣lent Ambitious Temper of the Potent Godwinian Family) was greatly troubled; fore-seeing what Calamities might happly follow. It pleased God to quiet his Mind by that Vision, which I mention Page aforesaid.
Edovardus Confessor redivivus. The piety and vertues of holy Edward the Confessor reviv'd in the sacred Majesty of King James the II. Being a relation of the admirable and unexpected finding of a sacred relique, (viz. the crucifix) of that pious prince; which was found in Westminster-Abby, (the place of his interrment) 622 years succeeding; and is since worn sometimes by his present Majesty. With a comment thereon. Previous to which relation, are recited many wonderful casual discoveries; all of them being presagious, or very effective.
