God's terrible voice in the city

Or suppose they had lugged their Goods out of London from the Fire, and the whole City had been burnt down with all the Suburbs, and no habitations left standing hereabouts; what would they have done with their goods? where ⟨p. 186⟩would they have disposed of them? How could they any ways have continued their Trades? Where could they have disposed of their persons? How could they have lived this cold Winter Season? Could they have struck up Booths presently, fit for themselves to abide in, which would have sheltered them from the injury of the weather? where would they have had materials, when all was burnt?

Alas! what would they have done? must not their goods have been spoiled by lying abroad? would not they themselves, who had been used to so much tenderness, have quickly grown sick, and died in the Fields? would not thousands have starved for cold? and what Provision could they have had for food and other necessaries? Besides; would they not have been a prey to Thieves and Cut-throats? Would not many of their Enemies, who laughed at the fall of the City, have rejoiced much more, and taken advantage to come upon them in their nakedness, and butchered them without mercy?
