Strange and true news from Westmoreland. Being a true relation of one Gabriel Harding who coming home drunk, struck his wife a blow on the breast, and killed her out-right, and then denyed the same: likewise how a stranger did come to the house cloathed in green, the peopl that were eye-witnesses said it was an angel, and how the stranger (or angel) did give sentance [sic] to the man for killing of his wife: also how Satan did break the mans neck that did forswear himself. and [sic] the stranger (or angel did command Satan to hurt none else, and to vanish; which being done, there was a pleasant harmony of musick heard to sound; then did the stranger cloathed in green take his leave of the people; whereof the chiefest in the parish desired it might be put into print, and have hereunto set their hands. Tune is, In summer time
