REMARKS. 
TT is impofllble, that, by any Accident, the Lamp 
fhould have caufed fach a Conflagration. 
There is no Room to fuppofe any fupernatural 
Caufe. 
The likelieftCaufe then is a Flafh of Lightning; which, 
according to the moft common Opinion, being but a 
iulphureous and nitrous Exhalation from the Earth, 
having been kindled in the Air, did penetrate either thro’ 
the Chimney, or thro’ the Chinks of the Windows, 
and did the Operation. All the above mentioned. 
Effects prove the Afl'ertion 5 for thofe remaining foul 
Particles are the grofleff Parts of the Fulmen , either 
burnt to Afhes, or thickened into a vifeous bitu- 
minous Matter. Hence no Wonder the Dogs would 
not cat of the Bread, becaufe of the Bitternefs of the 
Soot, and Stink of the Sulphur that lodged on ir.. 
The impalpable Afhes of the Lady’s Corpfe arealfo a 
Demonftration ; for nothing but a Fulmen could pro- 
duce fuch an Effect. 
They fay that there was not any Noife; but may 
be there was, and they heard it not, being in a found 
Sleep : Befides, there have been feen Lightnings and 
Fulmina without Noife j as one may very often ob- 
ferve. 
THIS is the whole Narration ; after which I think 
proper to place what is faid, in the Preface rer 
lating to it.
