VOX CORVI: Or, The VOICE of a RAVEN, that spoke thrice to Parson Kinnersley, (now in Newgate.) In the following Words, Look into Colossians the Third and the Fifteenth. On which Words and Occassion, his Grandfather, a Country Clergyman, Preached the following Sermon, at Wigmore, in Hartfordshire, 1694.

When Born to mighty Deeds, and famous Ends, Wise Heaven Sometimes to Men a Message sends, An Horse, or Ass, at divers Times have spoke; Tho' some will turn Vox Corvi to a Joke, And scoffing with an Innuendo, cry, It was no Raven - but a Kinners - lie.
