A true relation of the late Kings death. : On Monday, being the 2d. of February, the King rose early, saying, that he had not slept well the last night: and about seven of the clock, coming from his private devotions, out of his closet, fell down, (and scarce any sight of life remaining in him for the space of four hours) of a fit of an apoplexy, but with the loss of sixteen ounces of blood, and other applications, came again to his sences, and great hopes were of his recovery, till Thursday one of the clock; so that at five, the doctors being come before the Council, declared that the K--- was in great danger; and on Friday, a quarter before twelve, he departed this life. God have mercy on his soul..
