London's flames reviv'd, or, An account of the several informations exhibited to a committee appointed by Parliament, September the 25th, 1666, to enquire into the burning of London with several other informations concerning other fires in Southwark, Fetter-Lane, and elsewhere, by all which it appears that the said fires were contrived and carried on by the papists / now humbly offered to the consideration of all true Protestants.

IN obedience to an Order directed to me, from the Honourable Committee of the House of Commons, then sitting in the Speaker's Chamber, on the 2d. of October, 1666. I did carry Robert Hubert to St. Katherines Tower by Water, to let me know the place where the Swedish Ship lay, that brought him and other French-men from Stockholm, and he brought me to the Dock o∣ver against Mr. Corsellis his Brew-house, and did then verifie to me and Mr. Corsellis, that the Ship lay there, until such time as he with Mr. Peidloe and others did go and set fire to a House. And this Hubert did then further say, that Mr. Peidloe did fix two Fire-balls to a long Pole, and put them into a Window; and that he the said Robert Hubert did fire one in the same manner, and put it in at the same Window. But with all the inquiry and diligence that I could use, I could neither find nor hear of any such Vessel. And from thence I carried the said Robert Hubert to Tower hill, and did then desire him to shew me the House that they did Fire, and he said, that it was near the Bridge. So we went along Thames-Street towards the Bridge; but before we came to the Bridge, the said Robert Hubert said, that the House was up there (pointing with his hand up Pudding-lane:) So I bid him go to the place, and he went along the bricks and rubbish, and made a stand: Then I did ask one Robert Penny, a Wine-porter, which was the Bakers House; and he told me, that was the house where the aforesaid Robert Hu∣bert stood. So I went to Robert Hubert, and stood by him, and tur∣ned my back towards the Bakers house, and demanded of him, which house it was that he fired, (directing to other houses contra∣ry to that house) but he turning himself about, said, This was the house (pointing to the Bakers house) that was first fired. Then, by

reason of his lameness, I set him on a Horse, and carried him to seve∣ral other places, but no other place he would acknowledge; but rode back again to the Baker's House, and said again, that was the House (pointing at the Baker's House.) And this I do humbly certifie to this Honourable Committee.

By me John Lowman, Keeper of his Majesty's County-Gaol for Surry.
