The DEAD MAN'S RESURRECTION, &c.
ONE of the Judges in King Charles I reign, being, in the long vacation, ⟨at⟩ his country-house in Holsworth in ⟨Suffolk⟩ happened, upon too ferious reflection ⟨of⟩ some juvenile miscarriages, to fall into ⟨a⟩ deep fit of the hypocondria, insomuch ⟨that⟩ he fancied himself to be dead, and was very obstinate under the influence of ⟨his⟩ whimsical distemper that he would not ⟨be⟩ persuaded to stir hand or foot, or ⟨receive⟩ any manner of suftenance, but what was forced down his throat by syrenges, or ⟨such⟩ like stratagems, till he had brought his ⟨body⟩ into so low a condition, that had a ⟨lighted⟩ candle been in his belly, his sides ⟨would⟩ have proved as transparant as a ⟨lanthorn⟩. In this stubbom phrenzy he lay upon ⟨his⟩ back, stretched out at full length like ⟨a⟩ corp, and as motionless as a stone figure ⟨up⟩ on an old tomb, neither his physician ⟨nor⟩ his family knowing what to do with him.
