God's terrible voice in the city

Now Carts, and Drays, and Coaches, and Horses, as many as could have entrance into the City were loaden, and any money is given for help 5 l. 10 l. 20 l. 30 l. for a Cart, to bear forth into the Fields some choice things, which were ready to be consumed; and some of the Countries had the conscience to accept of the highest price, which the Citizens did then offer in their extremity; I am mistaken if such money do not burn worse, than the Fire out of which it was raked. Now Casks of Wine, and Oil, and other commodities are tumbled along, and the owners shove as much of their goods as they can towards the Gate: every one now becomes a Porter to himself, and scarcely a back either of Man or Woman that hath strength, but had a burden on it in the streets: It was very sad to see such throngs of poor Citizens coming in, and going forth from the unburnt parts, heavy loaden with some pieces of their goods, but more heavy loaden with weighty grief and sorrow of heart, so that it is wonderful they did not quite sink under these burdens.

Monday night was a dreadful night, when the wings of the night had shadowed the light of the heavenly bodies, there was no darkness of night in London, for the Fire shines now round about with a fearful Blaze, which yielded such light in the streets, as it had been the Sun at noon day. Now the Fire having wrought backward strangely against the Wind to Billings-Gate, &c. along Thames-Street Eastward, runs up the hill to Tower-Street, and having marched on from Grace-Church-Street, maketh further progress in Fen-Church-Street, and having spread its wing beyond Queen-hythe in Thames-Street Westward, mounts up from the Water-side through Dowgate, and old Fish-street into Wattling-street: but the great fury of the Fire was in the broader Streets; in the midst of the night it was come down Cornhill, and laid it in the dust, and runs along by the Stocks, and there meets with another Fire, which came down Thread-needle-street; a little further with another, which came up from Wall-brook; a little further with another, which comes up from Bucklers-bury, and all these four joining together, break into one great flame at the corner of Cheap-side with such a dazzling light, and burning heat, and roaring noise by the fall of so many houses together, that was very amazing; and though it were something stopped in its swift course at Mercers Chapel, yet with great force in a while, it conquers the place, and burns through it, and then with great rage proceedeth forward in Cheapside.
