God's terrible voice in the city

On Monday Grace-church-street is all in flames, with Lombard-street on the left hand, and part of Fen-church-street on the right, the Fire working (though not so fast) against the wind that way: before it were pleasant and stately houses, behind it ruinous and desolate heaps.
