All the level Land on the South part of _Monmouthshire_, called the _Moors_, was overflow'd; it is a tract of Land about 20 miles long, all Level, save 2 little points of High-land, or 3; the Breadth of it is not all of one size, the broadest part is about 2 miles and ½. This Tyde came 5 Tydes before the top of the Spring, according to the usual run, which surprized the People very much. Many of their Cattle got to shore, and some dy'd after they were landed. It is thought by a _Moderate Computation_, they might lose in Hay and Cattle between 3 and 4000 _l._ I cannot hear of any Person drowned, save only one Servant Man, that ventur'd in quest of his Master's Cattle. The People were carried off, some by Boats, some otherways, the days following; the last that came off (that I can hear of) were on _Tuesday_ Evening, to be sure they were uneasy and astonished in that Interval. There are various reports about the height of this Tyde in the _Moors_, comparing it with that in _Jan._ 1606. But the account that seems likeliest to me, is, that the former Tyde ran somewhat higher than this. 'Tis thought most of their Land will be worth but little these 2 or 3 years, and 'tis known, that the repairing the Sea Walls will be very chargeable. _Gloucestershire_ too, that borders upon _Severne_ hath suffered deeply on the Forrest of _Deane_ side, but nothing in comparison of the other shore, from about _Harlingham_ down to the mouth of _Bristol_ River _Avon_, particularly from _Aust Cliffe_ to the Rivers Mouth (about 8 miles) all that Flat, called the _Marsh_ was drowned. They lost many Sheep and Cattle. About 70 Seamen were drown'd out of the _Canterbury_ Storeship, and other Ships that were Stranded or Wreck'd. The _Arundel_ Man of War, _Suffolk_ and _Canterbury_ Storeships, a _French_ Prize, and a _Dane_, were driven ashore and damnified; but the _Arundel_ and the _Danish_ Ship are got off, the rest remain on Ground. The _Richard and John_ of about 500 Tun, newly come into _King-road_ from _Virginia_, was Staved. The _Shoram_ rode it out in _King-road_; but I suppose you may have a perfecter account of these things from _Bristol_. But one thing yet is to be remembred, one _Nelms_ of that Country, as I hear his Name, was carried away with his Wife and 4 Children, and House and all, and were all lost, save only one Girl, who caught hold of a Bough, and was preserved.
