In a Church after the Offering,
A murder committed, the Priest shall ask,
And quaking for fear, shall save himself.

This (like the former) is a particuler accident, of which the publick History taketh no notice; it seemeth that in the year 1665. in Gevaudan, a Province of France near Languedoc, there was a great quarrel between two Lords who meeting at Church, did about the time of the Offering set one upon another, and one of them was killed, whereupon the Priest being terrified, ran away.

Sera surpris par fiel mis dans un Oeuf,
