kept a very large MaftifF Dog, the biggeft in cur Town, 
a Dog of Great Courage for fighting, this Dog was laid 
by the Fire fide afleep by the Servants, but upon the 
firft Volley the Souldiers made he immediately ftarted 
up, ran into a Chamber, and hid himfelf under the Bed, 
the Maid Servant going to t)eat him down (he never 
ufing to go up Stairs) as flie was about fo doing, a Se- 
cond Volley came, which made the Dog rife, run feve- 
ral times about the Chamber with violent Tremblings, 
and ftrange fteming Agonies ; but immediately a Third 
Volley came, and then the Dog ran about once or twice 
more violently, and fell down and died immediately, 
with throwing out Blood at Mouth and Noft.
