The main Summier which crossed the garret was ten inches square. Two girders were by tenets and mortises let into the midst of it, one just against another. The Summier was knotty where the mortises were made: whereupon being over-burdened, it knapped suddenly asunder in the midst
The maine Summier which crossed the garret was ten inches square. Two girders were by tenents and mortaises let into the midst of it, one just against another. The Summier was knotty where the mortaises were made: whereupon being over-burdened, it knapt suddenly asunder in the midst
The main Summier of the other floor that fell was much stronger, being 13 inches square, smooth and sound every where, no knot in it: neither did the girders meet so just one against another. Yet that also failed: not in the middest, as the uppermost, but within five foot of one end, and that more shiveringly, and with a longer rent in the timber, then the other. For, this chamber was almost full with such persons as coming too late to get into the sermon, went into Redyat's chamber. Besides, it did not only bear the weight which lay on the upper floor, together with the weight of that floor that fell, but also received all that weight with a sudden knock; and so the massy timber shivered in two, as suddenly as the other knapped asunder, and the people were irrecoverably down (before they could fear any such thing) on the third floor, which was above 20 foot from the first.
