of the said Mansion House Under this Garret was another large Chamber which one Redyate another Romish Priest had hired for himself Unto whom Papists frequently repaired to hear Mass and make confessions Under this room was the aforesaid withdrawing chamber of the Ambassador supported with strong Arches of stone being immediately over the entrance into the great House And at the South end of the Garret and on the West side thereof there were Bed-chambers and Closets which other Priests had hired for themselves The Bed-chamber at the South end was severed from the Garret only by a partition of Wanscote which was taken down for the Sermon time The length of the Garret from North to South was almost sorry foot the breadth about sixteen foot The two aforesaid passages met on one pair of stairs leading to the Garret which had only that one door leading into it More came to this place then possibly it could hold so that many for want of room returned back again Others went into the aforesaid Redyates Chamber and tarried with him The whole Garret Rooms adjoyning door and top of the stairs were as full as they could hold In the Garret were set chairs and stools for the better sort most of the women sate on the floor but most of the men stood thronged together In all about two hundred were there assembled In the midst was a table and a chair for the Preacher All things thus prepared and the multitude assembled about three of the clock the expected Preacher having on a Surplice girt about his middle with a linnen girdle and a tippet of Scarlet on both his shoulders came in being attended by a man that brought after him his book and hour-glass As soon as he came to the table he kneeled down with shew of private devotion for a little while then rising up and turning himself to the people he crossed himself took the book which was said to be a Rhemish Testament out of his mans hands and the hour-glass being set on the table he opened the book read the Gospel appointed by the Remish Calendar for that day being the twenty first Sunday after Pentecost The Gospel was in Matthew 18 23 c. The Text being read he sate down put on a red cap over a white linnen one turned up about the brims He made no audible Prayer but having read his Text which was the Parable of forgiving debts he spake something of the occasion of it and then propounded these three special points to be handled 1. The debt we owe to God 2. The mercy of God in forgiving it 3. Mans unmercifulness to his Brother Having insisted some while of the misery of man by reason of the debt wherein he stands bound to God he passed on to declare the rich mercy of God and the means which God hath afforded to his Church for partaking thereof Amongst which he reckoned up the Sacaments and especially pressed the Sacrament of Penance as they call it When he had discoursed on these points about half an hour on a sudden the floor whereon the Preacher and the greatest part of his Auditory were fell down with such violence as therewith the floor of the Chamber under it where Redyate and his company were was broken down with it so that both the floors with the beams girders joyces boords and feelings with all the people on them fell down together upon the third floor which was the floor of the French Ambassadors withdrawing Chamber supported with strong arches as aforesad There being a partition on the South side of the middle Chamber which reached up to the floor of the Garret and supported it that part of the Garret which was beyond the partition Southward fell not so as all the people thereon were safe only they had no way to get forth for there was but one entrance into the Garret which was at the North-West corner Hereupon some through amazement would have leaped out at a window almost forty foot from the ground but the people without telling them of the certain danger if they leaped down kept them from that desperate attempt At length by breaking a wall on the West-side they discerned Chambers adjoyning thereto and so by creeping through that hole into the Chambers they were saved So were all they that stood on the stair-head at the door leading into the Garret For the stairs were without the Room and nothing fell but the floors neither walls nor roof Also amongst those that fell many escaped for some of the timber rested with one end on the walls and with the other on the third floor that yielded not and so both such as abode on those pieces and such as were directly under them were thereby preserved Amongst the multidude that fell there was a Minister who through Gods Providence fell so between two pieces of timber as that the timber kept his upper parts from crushing and holped him by his clasping about the timber to pull out his feet from amongst the dead corpses Amongst others the present preservation and future destruction of one Parker was very remarkable This Pa●ker was a factor for the English Seminaries and Nunnes beyond Sea especially at Cambre and he had so dealt with two of his brothers here that he had got from one of them a son and from the other a daughter to send them to religious houses as they call them beyond Sea This Parker at this time took his Nephew a youth of about sixteen years old to the aforementioned fatal conventicle where Drury preached and both Parker and his Nephew fell with the rest The youth there lost his life but Parker himself escaped with a bruised body being a corpulent man yet so far was he from making a good use of his deliverance that with much discontent he wished that he had dyed for his Nephew saying That God saw him not fit to dye amongst such Martyrs Such are Romes Martyrs But the preservation of the wicked is but a reservation to future judgment For about ten days after as this Parker was shooting London-Bridge with his aforesaid Neece whom he was conveying beyond Sea they were both cast away and drowned in the Thames Judge by this O Parents whether God is well pleased with disposing your Children to Popish Education Others there were that were pulled out alive but so bruised or so spent for want of breath that some lived not many hours others dyed not many days after The floor of the Chamber immediately over this where the Corps lay being fallen there was no entrance into it but through the Ambassadours Bed-chamber the door whereof was closed up with the Timber of the floors that fell down and the walls of this room were of stone only there was one window in it with extraordinary strong cross barrs of iron so that though Smiths and other workmen were immediately sent for yet it was more than an hour before succour could be afforded to them that were faln down
