* His first wife died June 23, 1666, as appears from a letter by the Rev. Samuel Arnold of Marshfield, to the Rev. Mr. Mather of Boston, in 1683, wherein the circumstances are thus related : - " We being sorely distressed with drought, had on the fourth day of the week made our address to the Most High God, by humble fasting and prayer. The drought continued until the last day of the said week, on which day it pleased God to answer us by terrible things in righteousness, who was yet the God of our Salva- tioh ; for about the middle of the day thare arose in the North the most dismal black cloud, I think that ever I saw." It came up, and was very dark, and there was much thunder and lightning. There were at the house of John Phillips, fourteen persons. " Instantly a terrible clap of thunder fell upon the house and rent the chimney, and split the door in many places, and struck most of the persons, if not all." Three were " mortally struck with God's arrows, that they never breathed more." They were the wife of Mr. Phillips, and his son, aged about ten years, and one William Shertly, " who had a little child in his arms, which was wonderfully preserved." This Shertly had just before been burnt out of his own house, and with his family was at this time " a present sojourner " at said Phillips'. A dog also, which was under a table behind two small children, was killed, while they were preserved. - Mather MSS.
+ The manner of his death was as follows: - Being at work in the meadow, making hay, a tempest suddenly arose, and he immediately started for the nearest house. Having entered, he sat down in a chair between the door and the chimney, when the lightning struck the chimney, and descending, passed out the door, knocking him lifeless upon the ground. Persons who were within three feet of him escaped unharmed. - Deposition of Capt. Nathaniel Thomas, among the Mather MSS.
