The loss of small Vessels hir'd into the Service, and tending the Fleet, is not included in this, nor can well be, several such Vessels, and some with Soldiers on Board, being driven away to Sea, and never heard of more. The loss of the _Light-House_, call'd the _Eddystone_ at _Plymouth_, is another Article, of which we never heard any particulars other than this; that at Night it was standing, and in the Morning all the upper part from the Gallery was blown down, and all the People in it perished, and by a particular Misfortune, Mr. _Winstanly_, the Contriver of it, a Person whose loss is very much regreted by such as knew him, as a very useful Man to his Country: The loss of that _Light-House_ is also a considerable Damage, as 'tis very doubtful whether it will be ever attempted again, and as it was a great Security to the Sailors, many a good Ship having been lost there in former Times. It was very remarkable, that, as we are inform'd, at the same time the _Light-House_ abovesaid was blown down, the Model of it in Mr. _Windstanly_'s House at _Littlebury_ in _Essex_, above 200 Miles from the _Light-House_, fell down, and was broken to pieces. There are infinite Stories of like nature with these, the Disasters at Sea are full of a vast variety, what we have recommended to the view of the World in this History, may stand as an Abridgment; and the Reader is only to observe that these are the short Representations, by which he may guess at the most dreadful Night, these parts of the World ever saw. To relate all Things, that report Furnishes us with, would be to make the story exceed common probability, and look like Romance. Tis a sad and serious Truth, and this part of it is preserv'd to Posterity to assist them in reflecting on the Judgments of God, and handing them on for the Ages to come. _Of the_ Earthquake Tho' this was some time after the Storm, yet as the Accounts of the Storm bring it with them in the following Letters, we cannot omit it. The two following Letters are from the respective Ministers of _Boston_ and _Hull_, and relate to the Account of the Earthquake, which was felt over most part of the County of _Lincoln_ and the East Riding of _Yorkshire_. The Letter from _Hull_, from the Reverend Mr. _Banks_, Minister of the Place, is very particular, and deserves intire Credit, both from the extraordinary Character of the worthy Gentleman who writes it, and from its exact Correspondence with other Accounts. _SIR_,
