We hear from Flanders and from Holland of a storm of
lightning, thunder, hail, snow and rain together, which
happen'd there. . . At Nivelles, a small town about six or
seven leagues from Brussels, that the lightning had set the
tower of the great church, as also that many 
[  ] together with the church and steeple, had been burned
to the ground by the same means at Arendouck, a [town?]
situate in the district of Antwerp.  The cross upon the
tower of Deurne was likewise burnt, the bells melted, the
organs spoil'd, but the church was preserv'd. . .
