"We were then alive in our predecessors, and they in their successors do live still." Richard Hooker ( 1554 – 1600) I write this account now as my mind is at present lucid, I do not know how much time I have before I descend once more into confusion. You will be sceptical of my account, I would have been myself, but I must write as I perceive. Only I can recount what has happened, otherwise all that will remain is the well meaning but misguided reports of those who have sough
