THE HIS is now the Account and the Vifion ; namely, the first Vision, when GOD the Holy Ghost raised me, JOHN ENGELBRECHT, up again from the Dead, after that my Body had been dead, fiff, and cold; which many Perfons in Brunswic are privy to, and acquainted with: Infomuch that my Body returned in a short Time to it's Vigour and Vivacity, without the Help of any Sort of earthly Meat, Drink, and Doctoring. But in the IntervalTime, whilft my Body was dead, the Holy Ghoft tranfported and conveyed my Soul before Hell; and there made it smell the Stench of Hell, and alfo bear the Howlings of the Damned in Hell, amidst the Darkness, and amidst the Smoke, and thick Fog; intended for a Warning to the Wicked.
