A TRUE RELATION
OF THE
APPARITION OF ONE MRS. VEAL,
THE NEXT DAY AFTER HER DEATH,
TO ONE
MRS. BARGRAVE, AT CANTERBURY,
THE 8th OF SEPTEMBER, 1705;
Which Apparition recommends the perusal of Drelincourt’s
Book of Consolations against the Fears of Death.
THE PREFACE.
This relation is matter of fact, and attended with such circumstances, as may induce any reasonable man to believe it. It was sent by a gentleman, a justice of peace, at Maidstone, in Kent, and a very intelligent person, to his friend in London, as it is here worded; which discourse is attested by a very sober and understanding gentlewoman, a kinswoman of the said gentleman's, who lives in Canterbury, within a few doors of the house in which the within-named Mrs. Bargrave lives; who believes his kinswoman to be of so discerning a spirit, as not to be put upon by any fallacy; and who positively assured him that the whole matter, as it is related and laid down, is really true; and what she herself had in the same words, as near as may be, from Mrs. Bargrave's own mouth, who, she knows, had no reason to invent and publish such a story, or any design to forge and tell a lie, being a woman of much honesty and virtue, and her whole life a course, as it were, of piety. The use which we ought to make of it,
