I know not where better to place what relates to the Artillery of Heaven, viz. a Piece of sturdy Oak Thunder-struck, shivered into very small Fibres at Plompton (near Knaresborough ) whence it was sent me by Rob. Plompton Esq;. A Pewter Candlestick, in several Places melted and run into small Lumps by Lightning at the Quarry-Hill in Leedes, 27 June 1700. A Piece of a Tin Vessel burnt through at the same Time, yet a Bit of Straw-Work that was by it, not so much as singed. (Vide Phil. Trans N° 264.) The Stick that was fired by Lightning in the Hand of John Seynor, as he was riding over Bramham-Moor to Leedes Market, 12 Dec. 1710, in a severe Storm of Thunder, Lightning and Hail, as offered to be deposed upon Oath before John Dodgson Esq; Mayor of Leedes, who gave it to me. A Piece of Bell-Metal from Southwell, when that stately Minster was burnt by Light ning 5 Nov. 1711, brought thence and given me by Mr. John Hough. Hither also must be referred a Mass of Nails strangely soldered together, taken out of the Ruins of the City of London after the general Conflagration 1666. Don. Hen. Gyles. A Piece of Cieling Ceiling of the Hall in this House, just under the Musæum, burnt to a perfect Cinder in the Night, when the Family were asleep, yet no further Damage done, kept as a Memorial of a watchful Providence. Also Part of an Hour-Glass taken out of the Fire when the Rape-Oil Mill at Leedes Bridge was burnt 3 Oct. 1708. It is bended like Parchment, five or six distinct Lares upon each other; the inmost thinnest, and gradually thicker to ¼ Inch; given me by Mr. William Barstow, whose Courage and Activity in suppressing the Flames (which might have endangered much of the Town) was very commendable.
