two in
     the morning
Epworth , June 7th , 1705 . I went to Lincoln on Tuesday night , May 29th , and the election began on Wednesday , 30th . A great part of the night our Isle people kept drumming , shouting , and firing of pistols and guns under the window where my wife lay , who had been brought to bed not three weeks . I had put the child to nurse over against my own house ; the noise kept his nurse waking till one or two in the morning . Then they left off , and the nurse being heavy with sleep , overlaid the child . She waked , and finding it dead , ran over with it to my house almost distracted , and calling my servants , threw it into their arms . They , as wise as she , ran up with it to my wife and , before she was well awake , threw it cold and dead into hers .
