God's judgments and mercies shown to mankind: being a particular account of a great and dismal rain that fell in Scotland, on the 24th of Sept. 1712. which has laid under Water, above eight hundred Houses and twelve hundred Families. This dismal Rain came in the Night and Drowned several Persons in their Beds, others got into their Garrots, and without God's great Mercy, must either be Starv'd or Drown'd. Here is also an Account of great Quantities of Sheep, Oxen and Horses, Corn, Hay and other Goods that is Drowned, Lost and Spoil'd by this Violent Rain, the like has not been known in the Memory of Man. Likewise here is an account of a great deliverance of nine seamen belonging to her Majesties Ship the Penzants Man of War, now lying near Queensborough, who being in their Boat on the 27th of Sept. last at Night, and they Swearing one at another, at a prophane Wicked Rate, there appear'd several Visions of Fire, and Fire Balls and Fiery Darts were thrown up and down, that even the Earth, the Water and the Heavens seem'd to be all on Fire, from eleven at Night, till two the next Morning. The Truth of this is Confirm'd by Sir Will. Jumper's Coxen's Crew, and by several at Queensborough, who went with the Nine Seamen before the Mayor of the Town to give their Oaths of the Truth of this Relation.
