Newes from Hereford. Or, a wonderful and terrible earthquake: vvith a wonderful thunder-clap, that happened on Tuesday being the first of October, 1661. Shewing how a church-steeple, and many gallant houses were thrown down to the ground, and people slain: with a terrible thunder-clap, and violent storms of great hailstone, which were about the bigness of an egg, many cattel being utterly destroy'd as they were feeding in the field. Also the wonderful apparitions which were seen in the air, to the great amazement of the beholders, who beheld two perfect arms and hands; in the right hand being graspd a great broad sword, in the left a boul full of blood, from whence they heard a most strange noise, to the wonderful astonishment of al present, the fright caused divers women to fall in travail; amongst whom the clerks wife one Margaret Pellmore, fell in labour, and brought forth 3 children, who had teeth, and spake as soon as ever they were born, ... The tune is, Aim not too high.
