A True, but Sad Relation Of The Great fire, and lamentable accident, that hap- ned on Saturday morning last, betwixt two and three of the Clock, at Mr. Delaunes house, an Hamborcugh Merchant, amongst the new Brick-Buildings in Loathbury, near the Royal Exchange; where, to thy unspeakable grief of many thousands, the said Merchant, with his dear Consort his Wife big with Child, Mr. Gil- bert, a Merchant likewise, two Maid servants, and a Nurse and her Husband, were all burned to Ashes, in the merciless flames of a great and vio- lent fire, with the sad and woful Cryes, heard by the Neighbours, a little before their falling in- to these great and vehement flames, which bur- ned like to a great fire in an Oven, within the Brick-walls. As also, the great and wonderfull providence of the Lord, in preserving a Gentlewoman, of near Relation and Blood, to Alderman Allen, worthy of everlasting praise and Glory; never to be forgotten
