Halaman 176 - Duke of York what I saw; and that, unless his Majesty did command houses to be pulled down, nothing could stop the fire.

Six days after, was all in the dust.
Halaman 132 - But at supper there played one of their servants upon the viallin some Scotch tunes only ; several, and the best of their country, as they seemed to esteem them, by their praising and admiring them : but, Lord ! the strangest ayre that ever I heard in my life, and all of one cast.
Halaman 176 - City ; and every thing, after so long a drought, proving combustible, even the very stones of churches, and among other things the poor steeple by which pretty Mrs. lives, and whereof my old schoolfellow Elborough is parson, taken fire in the very top, and there burned till it fell down...
