If your worship would take my Counsell, considering the league at Barwick and the late expeditions, wee may find some of these things in the North or else speake with some reform'd Captaine, though he bee a Catholike; and it may bee wee may have them at cheaper rates.

Barwick killed his wife, who was about to bear a child, near Cawood in Yorkshire, on April 14, 1690.

There were other refugees in Mrs. Dimmick's house now; there were in all fifteen people sitting around her little stove listening to the wind and the ocean.
