most particular account of the late expedition on the Coast
of Brittany. . . In marching towards the town they had a
skirmish, but with a trifling loss. . .  The churches they
stripped of their ornaments in images and plate; their
golden Gods were lost, even the bells were thrown down from
the steeples, and many granaries destroyed. . .
