being all in their beds, each perfon obferved their 
refpe&ive beds to have a fudden fhock, as quick as 
thought itfelf. Mr. Barber, who lives at the king’s- 
head~inn, and next door to Mr. Jewell, at the fame 
time, felt his bed to tremble for the fpace of half a 
minute ; his wife (who was in child-bed at that time) 
and her nurfe felt the like trembling in another room, 
and Mr. Barber’s mother (who keeps the faid inn)

At Sandwich the Rev. Mr. Bunce faith, that on

feveral accounts of earthquakes abroad, he fhould 
not have taken the fhock to have been of that kind. 
In like manner it was felt by fundry perfons in Sand- 
wich. For my own part I felt nothing of it, nor 
can I hear, that it was felt by any perfon, that was 
out of bed, fave at Sandwich, one Mr. Thomas* Hay- 
ward, who was fitting in his chair, felt the fame to
