Footnote 5:
(return)
After mentioning the excesses committed by the mob, and the arrest of Judge Jefferies, Bishop Burnet says: "The Lord Mayor was so struck with the terror of this rude populace, and with the disgrace of a man who had made all people tremble before him, that he fell into fits upon it, of which he died soon after.
"To prevent the further growth of such disasters, he called a Meeting of the Privy Councillors and Peers, who meet at Guildhall," &c. The pronoun he must relate to the Lord Mayor, but the sentence is obscurely expressed.
