V i' regard to the Extent of the late Earthquake 
this ’/ay (1 mean due E.ift from London) I cannot 
learn that it pafs’d the little River Rodden that runs 
by my Gardens, and croffes the Harwich Road at 
Great Ilford. My own Houfe (lands about half a 
Mile North from the 6 Mile-Stone. I was in my 
Gardens with feveral Workmen, and none of us were 
fenfiblc of any thing but my Wife, who was in 
her Drefling-room, felt the Houfe tremble fo much, 
that, upon my coming in, fhe told me file verily 
believ’d there had been an Earthquake; the Motion 
of the Houfe under her being exadly like what fhe 
had often heard deferib’d when file was in Italy . 
I am, 
SIR,
