Evidence: | 'Thence home to dinner; and there W. Hewer dined with me, and showed me a Gazett in Aprill last (which I wonder should never be remembered by anybody) which tells how several persons were then tried for their lives, and were found guilty of a design of killing the King and destroying the government; and as a means to it, to burn the City; and that the day entended for the plot was the 3rd of last September. And that fire did endeed break out on the 2nd of September - which is very strange me-thinks - and I shall remember it.' |
