er by an Oath; so
that none knowing _Henault_, altho' his Body was expos'd there for three
Days to Publick View: When the Coroner had Set on the Bodies, he found,
they had been first Murder'd some way or other, and then afterwards
tack'd together, and thrown into the River, they brought the Body of
_Villenoys_ home to his House, where, it being laid on a Table, all the
House infinitely bewail'd it; and _Isabella_ did nothing but swound
away, almost as fast as she recover'd Life; however, she would, to
compleat her Misery, be led to see this dreadful Victim of her Cruelty,
and, coming near the Table, the Body, whose Eyes were before close shut,
now open'd themselves wide, and fix'd them upon _Isabella_, who, giving
a great Schreek, fell down in a swound, and the Eyes clos'd again; they
had much ado to bring her to Life, but, at last, they did so, and led
her back to her Bed, where she remain'd a good while. Different Opinions
and Discourses were made, concerning the opening of the Eyes of the Dead
Man, and viewing _Isabella_; but she was a Woman of so admirable a Life
and Conversation, of so undoubted a Piety and Sanctity of Living, that
not the least Conjecture could be made, of her having a hand in it,

Body of _Villenoys_ being interr'd in a most magnificent manner, and, by
Will all he had, was long since setled on _Isabella_, the World, instead
of Suspecting her, Ador'd her the more, and every Body of Quality was
already hoping to be next, tho' the fair Mourner still kept her Bed, and
Languish'd daily.

It happen'd, not long after this, there came to the Town a _French_
Gentleman, who was taken at the Siege of _Candia_, and was Fellow-Slave
with _Henault_, for seven Years, in _Turky_, and who had escap'd with
_Henault_, and came as far as _Liege_ with him, where, having some
Business and Acquaintance with a Merchant, he stay'd some time; but when
he parted with _Henault_, he ask'd him, Where he should find him in
_Flanders_? _Henault_ gave him a Note, with his Name, and Place of
Abode, if his Wife were alive; if not, to enquire at his Sister's, or
his Father's. This _French_ Man came at last, to the very House of
_Isabella_, enquiring for this Man, and receiv'd a strange Answer, and
was laugh'd at; He found, that was the House, and that the Lady; and
enquiring about the Town, and
