Hs. directions are in
this particular, Sir J. Minnes and Sir W. Batten having left,
us, we cannot add, though we are well assured of their, as well
as all ye neighbourhood's concurrence.
Sir W.Coventry, Yr obedient Servnt,
Septr. 4, 1666. S.P.]
This night Mrs. Turner (who, poor woman, was removing her goods
all this day, good goods into the garden, and knows not how to
dispose of them) and her husband supped with my wife and me at
night, in the office, upon a shoulder of mutton from the cook's,
without any napkin, or any thing, in a sad manner, but were
merry. Only now and then, walking into the garden, saw how
horribly the sky looks, all on a fire in the night, was enough to
put us out of our wits; and, indeed, it was extremely dreadfull,
for it looks just as if it was at us, and the whole heaven on
fire. I after supper walked in the dark down to Tower-street,
and there saw it all on fire, at the Trinity House on that side,
and the Dolphin Tavern on this side, which was very near us; and
the fire with extraordinary vehemence.
