About the year 161 1, there lived in Spitalfields one Mrs. Anne Stephens, a person at that time well known and respected for her dealings with the mercers on Ludgate Hill. While seated one evening in her house alone musing upon business, she happened by acci- dent to look behind her, when, to her great surprise, she saw as it were a corpse lying extended upon the floor, as a dead body should be, except that the foot of one leg was fixed on the ground. She looked at it 1 1 8 SIGNS BEFORE DEA TH.

for some time, but by degrees withdrew her eyes from so unpleasing an object. However, a strange curiosity soon overcame her fears, when she ventured a second time to look that way and saw it for a considerable time longer, fixed as before. She again turned from the melancholy spectacle, and, gaining courage after a little reflection, got up with a design to satisfy her- self of the reality of the vision, by going nearer to it but, lo ! it was not there.
This circumstance proved an admonition to her ; for taking it as a warning of her approaching dissolution, she from that hour began to settle her wordly affairs, and had just time to see them arranged when she was taken ill of a pleurisy of which she died in seven days.
