Heuy newes

Of an horryble earth quake whiche was in the cytie of Scharbaria in this present yeare of . xlij . The xiij . day of Iune .

Also how that a cytie in Turky is sonke● ;

The heuy newes contayned in a letter sent out of Italy .

RIghte douty and welbeloued Lorde I lette you wytte the pytieful new tydyng and horrible earthquake , which I meselfe haue sene , where I with my two company 〈…〉 was at ynne by a towne , which 〈◊〉 about .xvi. myle from Florence , a●●●s called Scharbaria , where we wer●●●●ged ouer nyghte . On the .xiii. da● 〈◊〉 Iune of this present yeare one ho●●● before the breake of the daye , hath almyghty God of his greate mercy an● fatherly loue preserued vs 〈…〉 from all euell and 〈…〉 whiche we neuer 〈…〉 prayse hym . 〈…〉 that throu●● 〈…〉 he wyll alwaye preserue vs . For we may surely marke well ynough by the wonderfull tokens that he hath prophecyed to come , and partly do nowe dayly chaunce , before our eyen , that the daye of dome is at hande .

In the mornynge one houre before the breake of the daye dyd ryse greate and horryble earth quakes : for there happened seuen in the space of an h●ure , & I with me two fellowes were al● thre in slepe in the bedde , in an ynne of the suburbes , neare to the gates , whiche was a great fortune fo●●s that we were not closed in .

The fyrste earthquake .

The fyrst earthquake was so fear●● 〈◊〉 ●ade so great a noyse , that I 〈…〉 ●oughte at the fyrste 〈…〉 ●yshynge that I 〈…〉 ●ut at the same 〈…〉 house begyn to cleue in sunder , and the chymeney with the thacke to fall , so that we dyd flye contynently , & howe we eskaped can not I tell : yet throughe the helpe of God , dyd we eskape withoute hurte or harme of oure bodyes . But within the cytie are nearehande sonke and broken all the houses , and some folke peryshed . The churches & greate howses are all fallen to the grounde . The people that was lefte in lyfe dyd crye Misericorde with greate chatterynge of tethe , by reason of the feare , and ranne out of the citie into a moras grounde , where we were fledde also with oure ooste and his housholde .

Helas for pitie , there was so pytiefull an outcrye and howlynge of men and women , as I neuer dyd heare all the dayes of my lyfe . Muche people dyd lye besyde the stones and timber , which coulde not be holpe for feare : whether some dyd ronne to them , that can not I tell : For I can not fully wryte vnto you of the horrible punishment and aduertisement of God .

Farthermore dyd there ryse at the same houre yet .vj. earthquakes more the one after the other , whiche were so horryble at the fyrst , that the earth dyd so shake , as though it wolde haue opened it selfe , and swalowed vs all . It was so calme wether , that one leafe of the trees dyd not moue . The skye was so darck and black , that I for my part dyd wayte for the clerynge therof euery twynckelynge of an eye . Summa euery thynge was muche more , and more horrible , than I can euer describe vnto you . Neuerthelesse God gaue grace , that the darckenesse voyded , and the daye came agayne , the wynde began also to blowe agayne : wherfore we were glad and lauded and thanked God , which had so gracyously shewed his mercy to vs .

After that dyd we ryde to Florence , our Lorde be mercyfull vnto vs : for I beleue surelye that I haue in dede sene an example of the domes daye . The town hath yet left foure hundreth and twenty heerthes or places for fyre .

Good Lord what a pitieful cryenge and callynge vppon God was herde there . To burne a towne is not to be compared by this dolorous chaunce . God our Lorde graunte vnto vs all his mercy , that we maye by this earthquake amende and conuerte vs to his glory , and oure soules health . Amen .

Lyke earthquakes haue ben at Florence , and in all those countryes , but they haue not done so great hurtes saue onely that they haue ouerthrowen many chymenies . This haue I written vnto you in hayste , bycause the Post coulde not tarye .

An other new tydynge that is happened in Turky .

IN Turky ( as I vnderstande ) is a cytie sonke into the grounde , out of the whiche is not one man escaped .

She lyeth in a playne contry , from the whiche the Turkysh safferon commeth , about a dayes iourney from Solonichio , whiche is a renowmed citye in Turky . Thus fare ye well . In my nex writynge vnto you shall ye haue farther certification of all thynges ⸫
