about a quarter of an inch broad at the broadeft, and was, as if 
it had been fear'd with a hot iron and, as I remember, one 
forriewhat bigger on the left fide of the neck, below the Ear. 
Streight down the tjre|ft, but towards the left fide of it , was a 
large place about three quarters of a Foot in length, and about 
two inches in breadth, in fome places more, infome lefs, which 
was burnt and hard, like Leather burnt with the fire, of a deep 
blackifh red Colour, not much unlike the fcorched skin of a 
rafted pig: And on the fore-part of the left fhoulder fuch another 
fpot about as big as a fhiiling 5 but that in the neck was blacker 
and feem’d more fear'd. From the top of the right fhoulder, flo- 
ping downwards, towards that place in his breaft, was a narrow 
Line of the like fcorched skin; as if fomewhat had come in there 
at the neck, and had run down to the breaft, and there fpread 
broader. 
The buttons of his Doublet were moft of them off; which, 
fome thought might have been torn off with the blaft, getting in 
at the neckband then burfting its way out: for which the greateft 
prefumption was(td mejthat, befides 4 or y buttons wanting to- 
wards the bottom of the breaft, there were about half a dozen 
together clear off from the bottom of the collar downwards, and 
I do not remember, that the reft of the buttons did feem to be 
near worn out, but almoft new.The Collar of his doublet juft o- 
ver the forepart of the left fhoulder was quite broken afunder, 
doth and ftiffening, ftreight downwards, as if cut or chop'd 
afunJer, but with a Blunt tool 4 onely the inward linnen or 
fuftian lineing of it was whole, by which,and by the view of the 
ragged Edges, it feem’d manifeft to me, that it was by a ftroak 
inwards (from without) not outwards from within. 
His Hat was ftrangely torn, not juft on the Crown, but on the 
fide of the hat, and on the brim. On the fide of it was a great 
hole, more than to put in ones fift through it : fome part of it. 
being quite ftruck away, and from thence divers gafhes every 
way, as if torn, or cut with a Dull tool, and fome of them of a 
good length, almoft quite to the edges of the brim. And,befide 
thefe,one or two gafhes more, which did not communicate with 
that hole in the fide. This alfo I judged by a ftroke inwards; not 
fo much from the view of the edges of thofe gafhesffrom which 
there was fcarce any judgment to be made either way ) but be-
