An Historical Narrative of the Great and Terrible Fire of London, Sept. 2nd 1666 Historical Narrative of the Fire of London By Gideon Harvey English History Complete New Edition No sooner was the plague so abated in London that the inhabitants began to return to their habitations, than a most dreadful fire broke out in the city, and raged as if it had commission to devour everything that was in its way.

In a manuscript from the secretary's office, we find these words, "All own the immediate hand of God, and bless the goodness and tender care of the king, who made the round of the fire usually twice every day, and, for many hours together, on horseback and on foot; gave orders for pursuing the work, by commands, threatenings, desires, example, and[...]".
