The amazing wonder : or A full and true relation, of the dismal condition of one John Sexton, a blew-coat-boy in Christ Hospital; shewing that last Sabboth [sic] day, being the 7th of May 1710. He took up a piece of paper near his ward; and viewing it, found these words, Come unto me and I will give you best; the which were neither printed nor written, but had a seeming impression on the paper, which as soon as he read it, he tore it in pieces, and run madd: tearing his hair in dismall manner. To which is annexed advice to all youth of both sexes. Also a prayer fit to be used in all Christian families. Likewise an excellent acrostick verse on the same purpose. Set forth the publick good. Enter'd in the Hall-book, according to order.
