In this year fell great abundance of rain in the time of 

 hay harvest, so that much corn and hay was lost. There 

 was also such fighting amongst sparrows in that season 

 that they were found dead in great numbers. Also there 

 followed great mortality of people, the sickness being so 

 sharp and vehement that many being in perfect health 

 over night when they went to bed were found dead in 

 the morning. Also many died of the small pox, both 

 men, women, and children (Holinshed).
