Buckingham wonder, or, The maiden's trance… (1800)

“ Comfort, O Lord, the sorrowful state of my parents, who are losing the only joy of their lives; give them heavenly patience under their earthly trial, that they may be made worthy inhabitants of those ever glorious mansions to which I am now going. Lastly, Bless this wicked nation and give them a true sense of their wickedness to repent of their sins, in order to receive those mercies thou hast ordained for them, and escape those dreadful judgements which they deserve. ”

Buckingham wonder, or, The maiden's trance… (1800)

“ Having finished her prayer, she delivered the paper to her mother, desiring that it might be printed after her death, which her mother promised to perform; and about an hour after she died, to the great grief of her dear parents; she was buried in the same grave that was made for her when she lay in her Trance. Thus, lived and died the wonder of a woman and the glory of her age. There was a funeral sermon preached on this occasion, by the Reverend Mr Dalton, which is now in the press and speedily will be published. ”
