How one Mrs. Johnson's Child of Barnet was tempted by the Devil to forsake God and follow the Ways of other Wicked Children, who us'd to Swear, tell Lies, and disobey their Parents; How this pretty innocent Child resisting Satan, was Comforted by an Angel from Heaven, who warned her of her approaching Death; Together with her dying Speeches desiring young Children not to forsake God, lest Satan should gain a Power over them.
Enter'd according to Order.
This style of Chap-book, although always a favourite among a certain section of society, is such rubbish that one extract will suffice:—

When, lo! the Devil came and said,
Where are you going, pretty Maid?
To School I am going Sir (said she)
