two_o thousand_o year_n inhabit_v by_o citizen_n who_o courage_n be_v equal_a to_o their_o fortune_n in_o a_o word_n a_o city_n of_o which_o it_o may_v be_v say_v more_o true_o then_o of_o ormus_n

we_o have_v give_v it_o but_o be_v very_o true_a and_o may_v be_v the_o worthy_a employment_n of_o a_o better_a pen_n than_o i_o and_o the_o subject_n of_o a_o full_a volume_n quibus_fw-la

and_o say_v that_o god_n have_v make_v use_n chief_o of_o eight_o thing_n to_o accomplish_v this_o work_n the_o negligence_n of_o the_o master_n or_o his_o servant_n in_o who_o house_n the_o fire_n do_v first_o begin_v the_o solitariness_n of_o the_o night_n the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o place_n the_o weakness_n of_o the_o building_n the_o quantity_n of_o combustible_a and_o bituminous_a matter_n gather_v thereabouts_o the_o precede_a summer_n which_o be_v extraordinary_o hot_a and_o dry_a the_o east_n wind_n that_o blow_v violent_o all_o that_o while_n and_o the_o want_n of_o

cause_n that_o have_v make_v this_o conflagration_n so_o violent_a dismal_a and_o irremediable_a i._o though_o there_o be_v some_o accident_n which_o no_o humane_a prudence_n can_v prevent_v as_o when_o a_o man_n either_o in_o his_o own_o house_n or_o go_v through_o the_o street_n be_v crash_v by_o a_o sudden_a ruin_n nevertheless_o the_o philosopher_n be_v not_o to_o blame_v when_o they_o say_v that_o every_o one_o may_v be_v the_o author_n of_o his_o own_o fortune_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o a_o man_n neglect_v or_o forsake_v that_o providence_n give_v he_o by_o nature_n he_o do_v together_o forsake_v the_o instrument_n and_o the_o mean_n which_o his_o good_a genius_n make_v use_v of_o to_o make_v he_o avoid_v the_o ill_a accident_n that_o may_v befall_v he_o for_o as_o our_o soul_n do_v only_o act_v by_o the_o organ_n of_o our_o body_n so_o our_o genius_n either_o good_a or_o bad_a can_v act_v but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o soul_n now_o if_o our_o soul_n enjoy_v a_o sound_n and_o temperate_a body_n and_o do_v her_o function_n with_o purity_n and_o facility_n that_o genius_n which_o be_v always_o near_o hand_n and_o as_o it_o be_v whisper_v at_o our_o ear_n do_v move_v and_o stir_v she_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o whatsoever_o belong_v or_o concern_v she_o if_o on_o the_o contrary_a this_o soul_n inhabit_v a_o body_n dyscratiate_v melanchollick_n full_a of_o obstruction_n or_o drown_v in_o the_o excess_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v or_o passion_n its_o nature_n be_v igneous_a and_o never_o cease_v from_o action_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o according_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o organ_n she_o turn_v to_o the_o wrong_a way_n and_o neglect_v those_o thing_n wherein_o she_o be_v mere_o concern_v now_o in_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v prevent_v or_o remedy_v it_o be_v a_o invalid_a excuse_n to_o say_v i_o will_v never_o have_v think_v that_o such_o thing_n shall_v happen_v for_o who_o can_v attribute_v it_o to_o a_o mere_a accident_n to_o put_v fire_n in_o a_o oven_n and_o to_o leave_v quantity_n of_o dry_a wood_n and_o some_o flitche_n of_o bacon_n by_o it_o within_o the_o sphere_n of_o its_o activity_n and_o so_o go_v to_o bed_n in_o leave_v his_o providence_n with_o his_o slipper_n i_o remember_v that_o some_o 36_o year_n ago_o in_o a_o town_n of_o brie_n a_o province_n of_o france_n call_v sezane_n upon_o a_o sunday_n morning_n a_o woman_n that_o keep_v a_o chandler_n shop_n have_v occasion_n to_o snuff_v a_o candle_n throw_v the_o snuff_n into_o a_o corner_n of_o her_o shop_n among_o some_o old_a rag_n and_o paper_n and_o so_o shut_v the_o door_n go_v to_o mass_n but_o within_o the_o space_n of_o half_a a_o hour_n and_o before_o she_o can_v come_v back_o again_o not_o only_o her_o house_n but_o those_o of_o her_o neighbour_n be_v all_o in_o a_o flame_n which_o be_v help_v by_o a_o east-wind_n which_o blow_v at_o that_o time_n and_o which_o be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a of_o all_o the_o wind_n for_o incendy_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o do_v in_o the_o space_n of_o a_o day_n and_o a_o night_n consume_v the_o whole_a town_n consist_v of_o about_o four_o hundred_o house_n can_v this_o be_v call_v a_o mere_a accident_n since_o there_o be_v no_o body_n so_o void_a of_o common_a sense_n but_o may_v have_v either_o foresee_v or_o prevent_v so_o calamitous_a a_o consequence_n ii_o the_o second_o cause_n of_o this_o misfortune_n be_v the_o time_n wherein_o it_o do_v happen_v to_o wit_n about_o one_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o night_n when_o every_o one_o be_v bury_v in_o his_o first_o sleep_n when_o some_o for_o weariness_n other_o by_o deboistness_n have_v give_v leave_n to_o their_o care_n to_o retire_v when_o slothfulness_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o bed_n have_v rivet_v a_o man_n to_o his_o pillow_n and_o make_v he_o almost_o incapable_a of_o wake_v much_o less_o of_o act_v and_o help_v his_o neighbour_n iii_o the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o place_n do_v also_o much_o contribute_v to_o this_o conflagration_n for_o the_o street_n where_o it_o do_v happen_v as_o also_o most_o of_o those_o about_o it_o be_v the_o narrow_a of_o the_o city_n insomuch_o that_o in_o some_o a_o cart_n can_v scarce_o go_v along_o and_o in_o other_o not_o at_o all_o the_o danger_n i_o do_v once_o run_v of_o my_o life_n thereabouts_o by_o the_o crowd_n of_o cart_n have_v cause_v i_o many_o time_n to_o make_v reflection_n on_o the_o covetousness_n of_o the_o citizen_n and_o connivency_n of_o magistrate_n who_o have_v suffer_v they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o encroach_v upon_o the_o street_n and_o so_o to_o jet_v the_o top_n of_o their_o house_n so_o as_o from_o one_o side_n of_o the_o street_n to_o touch_v the_o other_o which_o as_o it_o do_v facilitate_v a_o conflagration_n so_o do_v it_o also_o hinder_v the_o remedy_n and_o beside_o take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o air_n make_v it_o unwholesome_a and_o disfigure_v the_o beauty_n and_o symmetry_n of_o the_o city_n i_o hope_v that_o for_o the_o future_a his_o majesty_n his_o council_n and_o that_o of_o the_o city_n will_v take_v care_n that_o such_o disorder_n happen_v no_o more_o and_o will_v cause_v this_o city_n to_o be_v as_o commodious_a in_o its_o building_n as_o it_o be_v happy_a in_o its_o situation_n iv_o now_o follow_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o building_n which_o be_v almost_o all_o of_o wood_n which_o by_o age_n be_v grow_v as_o dry_a as_o a_o chip_n this_o inconvenient_a will_n easy_o be_v remedy_v in_o build_v the_o house_n with_o stone_n or_o brick_n according_a to_o the_o statute_n and_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n provide_v and_o enact_v long_o ago_o in_o that_o behalf_n though_o for_o the_o most_o part_n ill_o observe_v v._o the_o quantity_n of_o combustible_a and_o bituminous_a matter_n have_v give_v the_o great_a encouragement_n to_o this_o devour_a fire_n for_o as_o the_o place_n where_o the_o fire_n begin_v be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o thames_n and_o from_o those_o wharfe_n where_o most_o merchandise_n be_v land_v so_o thames-street_n and_o other_o thereabouts_o be_v almost_o nothing_o else_o but_o magazine_n of_o combustible_a and_o sulphurous_a merchandise_n thereabouts_o be_v a_o prodigious_a quantity_n of_o oil_n butter_n brandy_n pitch_n brimstone_n saltpetre_n cable_n etc._n etc._n and_o by_o the_o thames_n side_n be_v almost_o all_o wharfe_n full_a of_o coal_n and_o wood._n now_o as_o fire_n of_o itself_o be_v nothing_o but_o light_n which_o corporifi_v itself_o in_o the_o matter_n and_o act_v more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o it_o as_o we_o see_v that_o a_o fire_n of_o straw_n be_v less_o violent_a than_o that_o of_o coal_n it_o follow_v that_o this_o fire_n have_v light_v upon_o these_o sulphureous_a and_o bituminous_a matter_n do_v feed_v upon_o they_o as_o in_o his_o proper_a element_n and_o not_o only_o devour_v they_o with_o ease_n but_o impart_v to_o the_o next_o combustible_a matter_n a_o disposition_n more_o fit_v and_o apt_a to_o receive_v he_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o
