•* The ftones of the pinnacles and battlements 
" were fcattered in all directions ; one, of at lead; 
te a hundred and fifty pounds weight, fell on the top 
“ of a houfe, about fixty yards to the fouth, another 
tc was call full four hundred yards to the north, one 
<c very large one to the fouth-eaft of the church ; a 
<c long done, which ferved for a bench, adjoining to 
tc the fouth ftile, was cracked crofs-ways, and one 
te end turned quite upfide down. When the light— 
<c ning entered the church, its direction feemed to 
“ be partly north-eaft, and partly fouth-eaft, diverg- 
“ ing from the belfry ; for, on each fide, the top of the 
“ wall of my chancel is broken fo exactly alike, as 
“ if it had been done on purpofe ; but its force was fo 
“ fpent, or the refiftance it met with fo great, that it 
c *' could not penetrate, though it fhattered the glafs to 
“ bits. With regard to the eaftern-end windows of 
tc the north and fouth ifles, the cafe was different; 
<c there the glafs not only fuffered, but the monions 
<c were greatly damaged, and the walls cracked on 
“ each fide, in many places, the cracks from one to 
<c four inches wide; below the fouth window, the 
<c lightning not only forced its way out in the fouth-. 
“ eaft direction, but entered perpendicularly, and 
tc pafted through the wall, about two feet below. 
“ ’Tis remarkable, that about the middle of the 
“ fouth ifle, over one of the arches, a round hole, 
“ of about two inches diameter, was pierced through 
<e the carved oak, direCtly under the plaifter, and a 
piece of the main foil, of more than a foot in 
tc length, ftruck oft, and part of it burnt to a char- 
<c coal. The eaftern part of the tower is likewife
