And passing in a narrow
lane, Sir Anthony Browne [He commanded a troop of horse in the
Train-bands. 1662.] with his brother and some friends in the
coach, met this coach with the curtains drawn close. The brother
being a young man, and believing there might be some lady in it
that would not be seen, and the way being narrow, he thrust his
head out of his own into her coach, and to look, and there saw
somebody look very ill, and in a sick dress, and stunk mightily;
which the coachman also cried out upon. And presently they come
up to some people that stood looking after it, and told our
gallants that it was a maid of Mr. Wright's carried away sick of
the plague; which put the young gentle man into a fright had
almost cost him his life, but is now well again.
