Fire from Heaven or Burning the Body of One John Hitchell (1686) - John Hilliard - Bog

Or a trumpet sounding to judgment, calling us to repentance, by the fearful and lamentable burning of John Hitchell, carpenter, who was consumed to ashes and no fire seen, lying therein smoking and smothering for three days and three nights, not to be quenched by water or the help of man's hand; together with his house and one child, and the grievous scorching of his wife by lightning, as also by the burning of another house, and the birth of a monster. All within the Town and Parish of Christchurch in Hampshire. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English text.
