William Bedloe, and Sheriff Jackson, and many other of the most eminent citizens of Bristol.		1678 (1678)	Wing S5852; ESTC R21334	1,936	5

and_o many_o other_o of_o the_o most_o eminent_a citizen_n of_o bristol_n those_o damnable_a and_o hellish_a popish_a conspirator_n who_o have_v design_v the_o destruction_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o

or_o any_o other_o place_n where_o there_o be_v combustible_a matter_n fit_a for_o their_o purpose_n which_o fire-ball_n be_v compound_v of_o several_a ingredient_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n we_o hear_v that_o they_o general_o use_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o sheeps-fat_a take_v from_o the_o cawl_n and_o kidney_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n we_o may_v well_o suppose_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o so_o many_o sheep_n that_o have_v be_v find_v kill_v in_o the_o field_n have_v nothing_o take_v from_o they_o but_o only_o their_o fat_a and_o this_o have_v be_v do_v several_a

not_o above_o seven_o or_o eight_o mile_n from_o london_n and_o for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o these_o their_o wicked_a practice_n we_o shall_v now_o give_v you_o this_o brief_a but_o true_a account_n that_o upon_o thursday_n the_o twenty_o four_o of_o this_o instant_a july_n near_o the_o city_n of_o bristol_n there_o be_v five_o sheep_n find_v dead_a in_o the_o field_n with_o

upon_o the_o report_n of_o this_o mischief_n there_o be_v complaint_n make_v to_o the_o magistrate_n of_o the_o city_n of_o bristol_n since_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v it_o may_v prove_v dangerous_a

whereupon_o the_o mayor_n of_o bristol_n with_o several_a alderman_n of_o the_o same_o city_n and_o also_o captain_n william_n bedloe_n take_v the_o same_o into_o their_o serious_a consideration_n and_o make_v a_o strict_a enquiry_n into_o the_o business_n and_o find_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a that_o so_o many_o sheep_n have_v be_v real_o destroy_v and_o find_v dead_a in_o the_o manner_n aforemention_v they_o immediate_o issue_v out_o order_n that_o the_o common_a watch_n usual_o belong_v to_o the_o city_n shall_v be_v double_o the_o number_n as_o former_o and_o that_o six_o of_o

punishment_n for_o these_o their_o curse_a attempt_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o order_n be_v because_o as_o we_o mention_v before_o the_o like_a wicked_a practice_n be_v use_v before_o the_o fire_n of_o london_n southwark_n and_o other_o place_n for_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o this_o sheep_n fat_a with_o other_o compound_v make_v up_o into_o fire-ball_n be_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a
