Some of our printed Accounts give us larger and plainer Accounts of the Loss of Lives, than I will venture to affirm for Truth; as of several Houses near _Moor-Fields_ levell'd with the Ground: Fourteen People drowned in a Wherry going to _Gravesend_, and Five in a Wherry from _Chelsey_. Not that it is not very probable to be true; but as I resolve not to hand any thing to Posterity, but what comes very well attested, I omit such Relations as I have not extraordinary Assurance as to the Fact. The Fall of Brick-Walls, by the Fury of this Tempest, in and about _London_, would make a little Book of it self; and as this affects the Out-Parts chiefly, where the Gardens and Yards are wall'd in, so few such have escap'd; at St. _James_'s a considerable part of the Garden Wall; at _Greenwich Park_ there are several pieces of the Wall down for an Hundred Rods in a Place; and some much more, at _Battersey_, _Chelsey_, _Putney_, at _Clapham_, at _Deptford_, at _Hackney_, _Islington_, _Hogsden_, _Wood's Close_ by St. _John's Street_, and on every side the City, the Walls of the Gardens have generally felt the Shock, and lie flat on the Ground twenty, thirty Rod of walling in a Place. The publick Edifices of the City come next under our Consideration; and these have had their Share in the Fury of this terrible Night. A part of her Majesty's Palace, as is before observ'd, with a Stack of Chimneys in the Centre of the new Buildings, then not quite finished, fell with such a terrible Noise as very much alarm'd the whole Houshold. The Roof of the Guard-house at _Whitehall_, as is also observ'd before, was quite blown off; and the great Vane, or Weather-Cock at _Whitehall_ blown down. The Lead, on the Tops of the Churches and other Buildings, was in many Places roll'd up like a Roll of Parchment, and blown in some Places clear off from the Buildings; as at _Westminster Abby_, St. _Andrews Holbourn_, _Christ-Church Hospital_, and abundance of other Places. Two of the new built Turrets, on the Top of St. _Mary Aldermary Church_, were blown off, whereof One fell upon the Roof of the Church; of Eight Pinnacles on the Top of St. _Albans Woodstreet_, Five of them were blown down; Part of One of the Spires of St. _Mary Overies_ blown off; Four Pinnacles on the Steeple of St. _Michael Crooked Lane_ blown quite off: The Vanes and Spindles of the Weather-Cocks, in many places, bent quite down; as on St. _Michael Cornhil_, St. _Sepulchres_, the _Tower_, and divers other Places. It was very remarkable, that the Bridge over the _Thames_ received but little Damage, and not in Proportion to what in common Reason might be expected; since the Buildings there stand high, and are not sheltered, as they are in the Streets, one by another.
