seruāts from many good and substantiall Merchants whose lamētable losses haue too too much impouerisht their former estates the vnconscionable al-deuowring Sea being needlesly made rich with their sometimes hopeful aduētures But to the purpose Some certain daies before Christmas by the outragious blustering tempestuous wind and weather a very faire and tall ship called the Mary of Albrogh comming from Burdeux with one hundred and twenty tunnes of French wine 〈◊〉 master Edmunds being master of her was by force of weather driuen vpon the coast of France neere a place called Saint Iohns not farre from the famous and ancient City of Bullen most miserably cast away where was a great losse of ship goods but God bee praised all the men were saued except one About the same time there came a ship of Dartmouth from Marseles laden with oyles and cotten wools which was vpon the same coast and neere the same place cast away where the ship was torn in peeces the goods sunke in the seas but God in his mercy saued all the men to doe their countrey more fortunate seruice hereafter I hope Another 〈…〉 being called the Patience who had been heere once this ●●●ter from Burde●x and was bound thither againe was cast away 〈◊〉 sunk in the riuer of Thames a little below Grauesend at 〈◊〉 a place called Shooberie Nasse the masters name of hir was Iohn Loue.

A little Barke of Fawmouth of some fiue and thirty tun was beaten on the I le of Wight and cast away the same day aforesaide And it is reported for certainty that vpon all the shores and sea sands

Scotland and the Iles adiacent all which as soone as I can get true information of I will cause to bee published Besides I speake not of innumerable damages by the sinking of certaine cole-ships being bound from Newcastle to London al which I wil hereafter diuulge And now leauing the sea let vs treat a little of the lād harmes that are done now of late by these great windes At the old swan in Thames streete neere London Bridge on Christmas euen was the house of one Master Pyts a silke dier violently blowne downe and in the fall did breake the roofe and tiles of another house that was ouer against it and in the same parish in Katherine wheele alley was a chimney blowne downe of one Master Baits which brake down the cop of one Henry Gossons house a Stationer and it fell with such a violence in the night that it beat through the roofe and a garret and into a middle chamber but God be praised it hurt no body In Byshopsgate streete ouer against the Kings head neere the gate was the top of a bakers house blowne downe his wife and he being in bed and the maine beame of the house brake and fell downe on the testor of their bed and it did no more hurt but scar them besides churches houses windmils and diuers other buildings some blowne downe some much defaced which wil not be repaired without excessiue charges And by reason of the great store of raine which hath falne the high-waies are so ouerflowne that in many places both horse and men haue beene forced to swimme in the very rode way by which meanes the City of London cannot be serued with such prouision of victuals as diuers people were wont to bring in out of the countrey Then let vs consider with our selues in what dangerous estates wee are in when the Almighty is offended with vs and let vs turn to the Lord through harty repentance and earnest desire of amendment and then no doubt but God in his mercy will turne his fauourable countenance towards vs. For it is neuer too late to amend and therefore in the feare of the Lord let euerie one mend one and that the fame may be accomplished I hartely desire of God for Christs sake to giue all true Christians vpright and new hearts for Newyeeres gifts FINIS THese things heereafter following were related to me by Certaine Saylers and Countrey people since the first were printed and as for the truth of them I beleeue them my selfe but I haue no authority to inforce other mens faiths and therefore I leaue them to censure as they please AS two men were Riding out in the North Contry together being both brothers which I know and can produce if need require by a violent blast of winde they were ouerthrowne and after they were risen againe for the space of an houre one of them was striken blinde but afterward his sight came to him againe At a place cald Layton in Kent two or three miles from Greenewich by a furious tempestuous storme of winde and weather a faire house of one Maister Winters was blowne downe and in the fall a youth of the age of 15. yeares was cripled These and many other fearefull and terrible iudgements God hath powred downe vpon vs as Rods and scourges for our obstinate wilfull and rebellious liuing for we like Oxen or brute beasts fat our selues in sinne against the day of slaughter like foolish schoole-boyes neuer feare the Rod before wee feele it let vs then consider our owne miserable estates how we are altogether wicked and therfore iustly punished by that God who is altogether good how though our faultes be as countles as the sands of the sea or the Starres of Heauen yet God hath as many seuerall sortes of plagues as man hath Crimes to deserue them but the Lord in the midst of his iudgements remembers mercy or else we should all be confounded in his heauy displeasure and therefore let vs thankfully prayse God for his mercy that we are not cast headlong to the pitte of perpetuall Perdition according to our deserts and merits From the which the Lord God of his exceeding and super-abounding mercy for his deerely beloued Sonne Iesus Christs sake to deliuer vs. To whome with the Father and the holy Ghost three distinct persons and one Eternall inuisible infinite and Immortall God be duely rendred of men and Angels all Honor Glory praise power maiesty might and dominion now and for euermore Amen FINIS
