They laie there showting & crieng seuen daies togither, and were heard of manie, but none came to helpe them, and so finallie they perished. Now af|ter that these wicked people had thus destroied the duke of Lancasters house, and done what they could deuise to his reproch;The lawiers lodgings in the temple burnt by the rebels. they went to the temple, and burnt the men of lawes lodgings, with their bookes, writings, and all that they might lay hand vpon. Also the house of saint Iohns by Smithfield they set on fire, so that it burned for the space of seuen daies to|gither. On Friday a great number of them, estée|med to 20 thousand, went to the manor of Heiburie that belonged vnto the lord of saint Iohns, and set|ting fire on it, sought vtterlie to destroie the whole buildings about it.
