The Virginia Gazette

They write from Norwich, that the Mob still rages there with unheard of Cruelties, breaking Windows, forcing into Houses, maiming and wounding Men, Women, and Children. The 6th ult. a Woman big with Child died of the Kicks and Bruises she received from them, and has left Four Children. The 11th between Twelve and One in the Morning, three of the Rioters went to a House, broke open the Door, and dragg'd out a young Woman into a large Place, called Geldling-Croft, where three of them lay with her by Turns; she was carried Home senseless, and there are very little Hopes of her Recovery. What? All this for the Honour of GOD, and the Salvation of Souls, without a moving Denunciation Charge? What would these zealous Reformers and their Brethren round the Nation have done under the Umbrage of a late eloquent Orator: Surely, by this Time we had seen all the pernicious Tribes in England plunder'd, murder'd, ravish'd, and rooted out.
