    Angelic Apparitions . ( A Letter from John Sadler to R . B . ) Rev . Sm , A gentlewoman , of an ancient and honourable family , Mrs * Anna Dorothea von Madem , born in Courland ,

    and married to the family of the Koshuels in Prussia , a woman of extraordinary piety , and of much reputation amongst the gentry and all others who knew her in those parts , ( and well known to theD . of Brandenburg , from whose E . Highness she received

    several remarks of extraordinary favor , &c ., )—this lady having layn sick and bedrid , for a long time , under such a distemper as none of the physicians in all those parts could cure — at length an angel appeared to her at her bed ' s feet , and asked her if no

    man could cure her ; she answered , No . Then , replyed the angel , I am sent by God to heal you ; and ordered her to prepare some slight thing , and told her that 3 hould cure her , and vanished ,

    She got it made , and in a few days perfectl y recovered . This is well Known to all the country in those parts . And , if I am not greatly mistaken , this relation is inserted in that book < which this gentlewoman afterv rl s published , entitled " A Spiritual Vvo und-Balsaui for the Jews , proving that Christ was the true Messias , from

    the accomplishment of all the Prophets who foretold the Particulars which actually catrtief ' ta pads in his State of Humiliation , " &c . This book is extant in High Dutch and Low Dutch ; and translated into English ,

    which I have read ) and hath been the happy occcasion of y conversion of many Jews . It would fill a small book to relate the singular pie ^ y 6 f this gentlewoman , whose name is mentioned with hon <* remejpabrapce by many persons of quality , and others in several of y dukedoms in those

    parts . My wife ' s uncle , Captain Koshuel , was in this gentlewoman ' s hciuse , being her brother , together with all her nearest relations , when she lay on iier death-bed , at Kosaken , who were eye and ear witnesses of her rare end she made , w was to the admiration of all who

    were then present . Having in a holy rapture spoken near two hours on our Saviour's last dying words on the cross , she desired a psalm to be sung , and when they came to these words , *• I stretch forth my arms to embrace thee , my dearest Lord , " &c . she

    raised herself up , and , opening both her arms to embrace her beloved , sang those words with a strong and clear voice , and immediately died in y embraces of her dear Saviour , in whose bosom she had lived for many years . This Cap Kosjiuel , a person of great

    integrity and reputation , told uie , amongst several of these unto whom he hath related the same , y he chanced to cast his eye into a room that joined to her house , w she had built for her chapel , where she spent so much time in devotions , &c , and

    that at this tune , being the night before she departed , he plaiply saw , to his great surprise and astonishment , his sister ' s angel ^ all in white , kneeling at her table in that , room , where she was wont to pray , and beheld y t it waa the same aspect of his sistelr , who

    then lay on her death-bed , but with this difference only , y Iier angel's countenance was of a bright and shining lustre , as was also her whole garment . And this relation I had

    from his own mouth , at Kosaken , and rt is received without any doubt from a person of such an unsuspected reputation ; this gentlewoman was sister to Capt * Koshuel and mother to my wife .
