2d. As to all those People who were in Houses, I cannot allow them to be competent Judges, for as no House was so strong as not to move and shake with the force of the Wind, so it must be impossible for them to distinguish whither that motion came from above or below: As to those in Ships, they will not pretend to be competent Judges in this case, and I think the People within doors as improper to decide, for what might not that motion they felt in their Houses, from the Wind do, that an Earthquake could do. We found it rockt the strongest Buildings, and in several places made the Bells in the Steeples strike, loosen'd the Foundations of the Houses, and in some below them quite down, but still if it had been an Earthquake, it must have been felt in every house, and every place; and whereas in those Streets of _London_, where the Houses stand thick and well Built, they could not be so shaken with the Wind as in opener places; yet there the other would have equally been felt, and better distinguisht; and this particularly by the Watch, who stood on the Ground, under shelter of publick Buildings, as in St. _Paul_'s Church, the Exchange Gates, the Gates of the City, and such like; wherefore, as I am not for handing to Posterity any matter of Fact upon ill Evidence, so I cannot transmit what has its Foundation only in the Amazements of the People. 'Tis true, that there was an Earthquake felt in the _North East parts of the Kingdoms_, about a Month afterwards, of which several Letters here inserted make mention, and one very particularly from _Hull_; but that there was any such thing as an Earthquake during the Storm, I cannot agree. Another remarkable thing I have observ'd, and have several Letters to show of the Water which fell in the Storm, being brackish, and at _Cranbrook_ in _Kent_, which is at least 16 Miles from the Sea, and above 25 from any Part of the Sea to windward, from whence the Wind could bring any moisture, _for it could not be suppos'd to fly against the Wind_; the Grass was so salt, the Cattel would not eat for several Days, from whence the ignorant People suggested another Miracle, _viz._ that it rain'd salt Water. The answer to this, I leave to two Letters printed in the _Philosophical Transactions_; as follows, _Part of a Letter from Mr._ Denham _to the Royal Society_, _SIR_,
