Amongst Iewes and Gentiles , with Descriptions of Townes and Towers ,
Castles and Cittadels , artificiall Gallowses , Naturall Hangmen :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.5)

And Dedicated for the present to the absent Odcombian Knight Errant ,
S=r=. Thomas Coriat , Great Brittaines Error , and the worlds Mirror .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.6)

Upon Saturday the 17. of August , 1616. <paren> after I had taken leaue
of some friends that would hardly giue me leaue to leaue them </paren>
I was associated with fiue or sixe courteous Comrades to the Hauen of
Billingsgate , where I was no sooner come , but I was shipt in a wherry
for the Port of Grauesend , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.7)

and hauing two Women and three Men in my company thither , wee past the
way away by telling tales by turnes . Where one of the women tooke upon
her very Logically to defend the honestie of Brokers ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.8)

and she maintained her paradoxicall Arguments so pithily , as if her
selfe like a desperate pawne had layne seauen yeares in Lauender on
sweeting in long Lane , or amongst the dogged inhabitants of
Houndsditch . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.9)

And one of the men replyed that he thanked God hee neuer had any need
of them , whereupon I began to suspect him to bee a crafty knave ,
because the proverbe saies , <font> A crafty knaue needs no broker
</font> , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C1.10)

and indeed after I had inquired what countriman hee was , he told me he
was a Welch man , and a Iustices <P_3,77.C2> Clarke .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.11)

I left him as I found him , hoping neuer to be troubled with his
binding ouer , and withdrawing : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.12)

and so at Grauesend , we all went to the <font> Christopher </font>
where wee tooke a Bachanalian farewell one of another , where I
remained till the Munday following , awayting the comming down of the
ship that I was to be transported in . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.13)

About the houre of three in the afternoone , with good hope we weighed
Anchor , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.14)

and with a curteous tide and a gentle winde we sailed downe the river
of Thames , as farre as the grand Oyster hauen of <font> Quinborough
</font> , where though our ship was not Sea-sicke , yet shee cast ,
<paren> Anchor I meane . </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.15)

On the morrow , being Tuesday , we weighed ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.16)

and with the friendly breath of <font> Zephirus </font> , alias a
Westerne wind , our sailes being swolne , our ship called the <font>
Judith </font> , who with her sterne cut the liquid mounting mountaines
of <font> Neptunes </font> wauering territories , as nimbly as Hebrew
<font> Iudith </font> beheaded <font> Holofernes </font> , so that by
the bountifull fauour of him that rules both Windes and Seas , the
Thursday following wee espied the coast of Freezeland ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,77.C2.17)

and the next day wee sailed by an Iland <P_3,78.C1> called the Holy
Land , which may be called the Land of Lobsters , or the Countrie of
Crabs for the plenty of those kind of crawling creatures that are taken
there . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.18)

But we , taking time by the fore-top , let no aduantage slip ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.19)

but with a merry Gale , and a friendly floud , on the Friday wee sailed
vp the Riuer of Elue , as far as Stoad , where we Anchoured till the
morrow , being Saturday , and the feast of S. Bartholmew the Apostle ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.20)

wee ariued at a bleake alias , a towne an English mile from <font>
Hamburgh </font> , called <font> Altonagh </font> , which is so called
by the <font> Hamburgers </font> because it stands all-too-nigh them
for their profit , being inhabited with diuers tradesmen which doe
hinder their freedome . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.21)

I was no sooner landed there , but my company and my selfe went to a
Dutch drinking-schoole , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.22)

and hauing vpsefreez'd foure pots of boone beere as yellow as gold ,
our host said we had foure shilling to betall , or to pay , which made
me suspect it to bee a bawdy house by his large reckoning , till at
last I vnderstood that the shillings he meant were but stiuers , or
three halfe pence a peece . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.23)

So this tirrible {COM:sic} shot being discharged <paren> which in the
totall amounted to the sum of sixepence English , </paren> we departed
towards Hamburgh , when by the way I noted some men , women , and
children in diuers places of Altonagh , all deformed , some with one
eye , some with hare-lips , crooke-backt , splay-footed , halfe-nosed ,
or one blemish or other . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.24)

I admiring at them , was told they were <font> Iewes </font> , wherein
I perceiued the Iudgement of the high Iudge of all , that had permitted
Nature to deforme their formes , whose Gracelesse mindes were so much
mishapen through want of Grace . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.25)

But I being entred the Citie of <font> Hamburgh </font> on the Saturday
, I was presently conducted to the English house , where I found a kind
Host , an honest Hostesse , good company , store of meat , more of
drinks , a true Tapster , and sweet Lodging .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C1.26)

And , being at dinner , because I was a stranger , I was promoted to
the chiefest place at the table , where to obserue an old custome ,
euery man did his best endeauour to hauns mee for my welcome , which by
interpretation is , to giue a man a loafe too much out of the Brewers
bsaket {COM:sic} ; in which kind of potshot , our English are growne
such stout Proficients , that some of <P_3,78.C2> them dares bandy and
contend with the Dutch their first teachers .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.27)

But after they had hanced me as well as they could , and I pleas'd ,
they admininistred an oath to me , in Manner and forme as followeth ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.28)

<font> Laying my hand on a full pot </font> . I sweare by these
contents and all that is herein contained , that by the courteous
fauour of thesee Gentlemen , I doe finde my selfe sufficiently hanced ,
and that henceforth I shall acknowledge it ; and that whensoeuer I
shall offer to bee hanced againe , I shall arme my selfe with the craft
of a Fox , the manners of a Hogge , the wisdome of an Asse , mixt with
the ciuility of a Beare . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.29)

This was the forme of the oath , which as neare as I can shall bee
performed on my part ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.30)

and heere is to bee noted that the first word a Nurse or a Mother doth
teach her children if they bee Males , is Drinke , or Beere : So that
most of them are transformed to Barrels , Firkings , and Kinderkins ,
alwayes fraight with <font> Hamburge </font> beere .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.31)

And though the City is not much more then halfe the bignes as London is
within the wals , yet are there in it almost Brewhouses ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.32)

and in one dry {COM:sic} thare hath beene shipped away from thence ,
337. brewings of beere , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.33)

besides 13. or 14. brewings haue beene wrackt or stayed in the Towne ,
as not sufficient to bee beezeled in the Country .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.34)

The Saturday beeing thus past , and Sunday come , I went toward the
English Church , where I obserued many shops open , buying and selling
, chopping and changing of all manner of wares , with the streets
furnished with Apples , Peares , Plums , Nuts , Grapes , or any thing
else that an ordinary Market can affoord , as commonly as if the
Sabbaoth were but a bare Ceremony without a Commandemente . In which I
note the Iewes in their execrable superstition , to be more deuout and
obseruant , then these Pedlars in their profession ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.35)

for on the Saturday <paren> being the Iewes Sabbath </paren> they
neglect all humane affaires , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.36)

and , betake themselues irreligiously to their misbeleeuing faithlesse
religion . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,78.C2.37)

The Sermon beeing ended at the English Church , I walked in the
afternoone with a friend of mine , <paren> an Inhabitant of the Towne
</paren> to see and <P_3,79.C1> to be seene , where at one of the gates
was placed a strong guard of Souldiers with Muskets , Pikes , Halberts
, and other warlike accoutrements , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.38)

I asked the cause , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.39)

and I was informed it was because of the building of new mounts and
Bulwarks which were partly erected without the old wall :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.40)

And when I perceiued these fortifications , I was amazed ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.41)

for it is almost incredible for the number of men and horses that are
dayly set on worke about it , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.42)

besides the worke it selfe is so great that it is past the credit of
Report , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.43)

and as I suppose will prooue most inexpugnable and inuincible Rampiers
to strengthen the Towne on that side against the inuasiue attempts of
the greatest Monarke that should assaile them .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.44)

But after much musing , walking further towards the fields , I espyed
foure or fiue pretty parcels of modesty goe very friendly vp into a
Councell-house by the wayes side , as wee and thousands of people vied
to passe ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.45)

they were handsome young Girles of the age of 18. or yeares a peece ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.46)

and although they had a doore to shut , yet they knowing their
businesse to bee necessary , and naturall , sate still in louing and
neighbourly manner , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.47)

so hauing traced a turne or two we returned into the Towne againe ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.48)

and entring a long Garden within the Wals , some of the Townesmen were
shooting for wagers at a marke with their muskets : some bowling : some
at slide-thrift , or shouel-boord : some dancing before a blind Fidler
, and his cow-bellied , dropsie , dutty Drab : some at one game , some
at another , most of them drinking , and all of them drunke , that
though it was a Sabboth , which should wholly be dedicated to God , yet
by the abuse of these bursten-gutted bibbers , they made it an
after-noone consecrated , or more truely execrated to the seruice of
hell , and to the great amplification of the Devils kingdome .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C1.49)

{COM:verse_omitted} <P_3,79.C2> But leauing them to their drunken
designes , I return'd toward my Lodging , where by the way I saw at the
common Iayle of the Towne , a great number of people were clustred
together , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.50)

I asked the cause of their concourse , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.51)

and I was certified that there was a Prisoner to be broken upon the
wheele the next day , and that these idle Gazers did prease {COM:sic}
to gape upon him for want of better imployments ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.52)

I being as inquisitiue after nouelties , as a Trauailer of my small
experience might be , enquired earnestly the true cause of the next
dayes execution : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.53)

My friend told me that the prisoner was a poore Carpenter dwelling in
the Towne , who lately having stolne {COM:sic} a Goose , and plucking
it within his doores , a little Girle , <paren> his daughter in Law
</paren> went out of his house , and left the doore open , by which
meanes , the owner of the Goose passing by , espyed the wretched Theefe
very diligently picking what hee before had beene stealing , to whom
the owner said : Neighbour , I now perceiue which way my Geese vse to
goe , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.54)

but I will have you in question for them , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.55)

and so away hee went : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.56)

the Caitiffe beeing thus reprooued grew desperate ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.57)

and his child comming into his house ; ye yong whore , quoth he , must
ye leaue my doore open for folkes to looke in upon me ?
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.58)

and with that word , he tooke a Hatchet (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.59)

and with a cursed stroake , he cloue the childes head : for the which
murther he was condemned and iudged to be broken aliue upon the wheele
. (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.60)

Close by the Iayle I espyed a house of free stone , round and flat
roofed , and leaded , vpon the which was erected the true picture of a
most vnmatchable Hang-man : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.61)

and now I am entered into a discourse of this braue abiect , or subiect
, you must vnderstand that this fellow , is a merry , a mad , and a
subsidie Hangman , to who~ our Tyburne Tatterdemalian , or our Wapping
winde-pipe stretcher , is but a Raggamuffin , not worth the hanging :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.62)

for this teare-throat Termagant is a fellow in Folio , a Commander of
such great command , and of such greatnesse to command , that I never
saw any that in that respect could countermand him :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.63)

for his making is almost past description ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,79.C2.64)

no Saracens head seemes <P_3,80.C1> greater ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.65)

and sure I thinke his brainepan if it were emptied , <paren> as I
thinke he hath not much braine in it , </paren> would well containe
halfe a bushell of mault , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.66)

his shaggie haire and beard would stuffe a Cushion for <font> Charons
</font> boate , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.67)

his Imbost nose and embroydered face , would furnish a Ieweller ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.68)

his eyes well dryed , would make good Tennis-balls , or shot for a
small pecce of Ordinance , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.69)

his yawning mouth would serve for a Conni-borrow , and his two ragged
rowes of teeth , {COM:would_serve} for a stone wall , or a Pale ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.70)

then hath he a necke like one of <font> Hercules </font> his pillars ,
with a winde-pipe , <paren> or rather a beere pipe </paren> as bigge as
the boare of a Demiculuering , or a wooden pumpe ; throvgh which
conduit half a brewing of <font> Hamburgh </font> beere doth runne
downe into his vnmeasurable paunch , wherein is more midriffe , guts
and garbage then three tripe-wiues could be able to vtter before it
stunke . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.71)

His post-like legges were answerable to the rest of the great frame
which they supported , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.72)

and to conclude sir <font> Beuis </font> , <font> Ascapart </font> ,
<font> Gogmagog </font> , or our English sir <font> Falstaff </font>
were but shrimps to this bezzeling Bombards longitude , latitude ,
altitude , and crassitude , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.73)

for he passes , and surpasses the whole Germane multitude .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.74)

And as hee is great in corpulencie , so is hee powerful in potencie ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.75)

for figuratiuely hee hath spirituall resemblance of Romish authority ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.76)

and in some sort he is a kind of demy-Pope ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.77)

for once a yeere in the dogge-dayes he sends out his men with bates in
stead of Buls , with full power from his greatnesse , to knocke downe
all the curs without contradiction , whose masters or owners will not
be at the charge to buy a pardon for them of his mightinesse , which
pardon is more dureable then the Popes of waxe or parchment ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.78)

for his is made of a piece of the hide of an Oxe , a Horse , or such
lasting stuffe , which with his stigmiticall stamp or seale is hanged
about euery dogs necke who is freed from his furie by the purchase of
his pardon . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.79)

And sure I am perswaded that these dogges are more sure of their liues
with the hangmans pardon , then the poore besotted blinded , papists
are of their seduced soules from any pardon of the Popes .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C1.80)

The priuiledges of this graund haulter-master are many , as hee hath
the emptying of all the <P_3,80.C2> vaults or draughts in the city ,
which no doubt hee gaines some fauour by . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.81)

Besides all Oxen , Kine ; Horses , Hogs , Dogs , or any such beasts ,
if they die themselues , or if they bee not like to liue , the hang-man
must knocke them on the heades , and haue their skins :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.82)

and whatsoeuer inhabitant in his iurisdiction doth any of these things
aforesaid himselfe , is abhorred and accounted as a villain without
redemption . So that with hangings , headings , breakings , pardoning
and killing of dogges , flaying of beasts , emptying vaults , and such
priuie commodities , his whole reuenue sometimes amounts to 4. or 5.
hundred pounds a yeere . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.83)

And hee is held in that regard and estimation , that any man will
conuerse and drinke with him , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.84)

nay sometimes the Lords of the Towne will feast with him ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.85)

and it is accounted no impeachment to their honours ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.86)

for he is held in the ranke of a Gentleman , <paren> or a ranke
Gentleman </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.87)

and hee scornes to be clad in the cast weedes of executed offenders :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.88)

No , he goes to the Mercers , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.89)

and hath his Sattin , his Veluet , or what stuffe he pleases , measured
out by the yard or the ell , with his gould and siluer lace , his silke
stockings , laced spangled garters and roses , hat and feather , with
foure or fiue braue villaines attending him in Liuery cloakes , who
haue stipendary meanes from his ignominious bounty .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.90)

Munday the 19 of August , about the houre of 12. at noone , the people
of the town in great multitudes flocked to the place of execution ;
which is halfe a mile English without the gates , bilt more like a
sconce then a Gallowes , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.91)

for it is walled and ditched about with a draw-bridge
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.92)

and the prisoner came on foote with a Diuine with him , all the way
exhorting him to repentance , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.93)

and because death should not terrifie him , they had giuen many rowses
and carowses of wine and beere : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.94)

for it is the custome there to make such poore wretches drunke , wherby
they $may $be {TEXT:maybe} sencelesse eyther-2 of Gods mercy or their
owne misery ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.95)

but being prayed for by others , they themselues may die resolutely ,
or <paren> to be feared </paren> desperately .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,80.C2.96)

But the prisoner being come to the place of death , he was by the
officers deliuered to the hangman , who entring his strangling
fortification <P_3,81.C1> with two grand Hangmen more and their men ,
which were come from the City of <font> Lubeck </font> , and another
Towne <paren> which I $can $not {TEXT:cannot} name </paren> to assist
their <font> Hamburghian </font> brother in this great and weightie
worke : the draw-bridge was drawne vp , and the Prisoner mounted on a
mount of earth , built high on purpose that the people without may see
the execution a quarter of a mile roundabout :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.97)

foure of the Hangmans men takes each of them a small halter ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.98)

and by the hands and the feet they hold the Prisoners extended abroad
lying on his backe : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.99)

then the Arch-hangman , or the great Master of this mighty businesse
tooke vp a wheele , much about the bignesse of one of the fore-wheeles
of a Coach : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.100)

and first , hauing put off his doublet , his , {COM:sic} hat , and
being in his shirt , as if he meant to play at tennis , he tooke the
wheele , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.101)

and set it on the edge , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.102)

and turnd it with one hand like a top or a whirligig ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.103)

then he tooke it by the spoakes , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.104)

and lifting it vp with a mightie stroake he beare one of the poore
wretches leggs in peeces , <paren> the bones I meane </paren> at which
he rored grieuiously ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.105)

then after a little pawse he breakes the other leg in the same manner ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.106)

and consequently breakes his armes , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.107)

and then he stroke foure or fiue maine blowes on his brest ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.108)

and burst all his bulke and chest in shiuers ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.109)

lastly he smoate his necke , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.110)

and missing , burst his chin and iawes to mammockes ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.111)

then he tooke the broken mangled corps , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.112)

and spread it on the wheele , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.113)

and thrust a great post or pile into the Naue or hole of the wheele ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.114)

and then fixed the post into the earth some sixe foot deepe , beeing in
height aboue the ground , some ten or twelue foote ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.115)

and there the carkasse must lye till it bee consumed by all-consuming
time , or rauening Fowles . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.116)

This was the terrible manner of this horrid execution ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.117)

and at this place are twenty posts with those wheeles or peeces of
wheeles , with heads of men nailed on the top of the posts , with a
great spike driuen through the skull . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.118)

The seuerall kinds of torments which they inflict upon offenders in
those parts makes mee to imagine our English hanging to be but a
flea-biting . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C1.119)

Moreouer , if any men in those parts are to be beheaded , the fashion
is , that the Prisoner kneels downe , and being blinded with a Napkin ,
one <P_3,81.C2> takes hold of the haire of the crowne of the head ,
holding the party vpright , whilst the hangman with a backeward blow
with a sword will take the head from a mans shoulders so nimbly , and
with such dexteritie , that the owner of the head shall neuer want the
misse of it . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.120)

And if it be any mans fortune to be hanged for neuer so small a crime ,
though he bee mounted whole , yet he shall come downe in peeces ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.121)

for he shall hang till euery ioynt and limbe drop one from another .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.122)

They haue strange torments and varieties of deaths , according to the
various nature of the offences that are committed :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.123)

as for example , hee that counterfeits any Princes coyne , and is
prooued a Coyner , his iudgement is to be boyled to death in oyle , not
throwne into the vessell all at once , but with a pulley or a Rope to
bee hanged vnder the Arme pits , and let downe into the oile by degrees
: first the feete , and next the legs , and so to boyle his flesh from
his bones aliue . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.124)

For those that set houses on fire wilfully , they are smoaked to death
, as first there is a pile or post fixed in the ground ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.125)

and within an English Ell of it is a peece of wood nailed crosse
wherupon the offender is made fast sitting ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.126)

then ouer the top of the post is whelmed a great tub or Dryfat , which
doth couer or ouerwhelme the Prisoner as low as the middle .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.127)

Then vnderneath the executioner hath wet straw , hay , stubble , or
such kind of stuffe , which is fired , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.128)

but by reason it is wet and danke , it doth not burne but smolder and
smoake , which smoake ascends vp into the tub where the prisoners head
is , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.129)

and not being able to speake , he will heaue vp and downe with his
belly ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.130)

and people may perceiue him in these torments to liue three or foure
houres . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.131)

Adultery there , if it bee prooued , is punished with death , as the
losse of both the parties heads , if they bee both married ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.132)

or if not both , yet the married party must dye for it ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.133)

and the other must endure some easier punishment , eyther-1 by the
purse or carkasse ; which in the end proues little better then halfe a
hanging . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,81.C2.134)

But as after a tempest a calme is best welcome ; so I imagine it not
amisse after all this tragicall harsh discourse , to sweeten the
Readers pallat with a few Comicall reports which were <P_3,82.C1>
related vnto me , wherein I seeme fabulous , it must be remembered that
I claime the priuiledge of a traueller , who hath authority to report
all that he heares and sees , and more too .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.135)

I was informed of a fellow that was hanged somwhat neere the high way ,
within a mile or two of <font> Collein </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.136)

and the fashion being to hang with a halter and a chaine , that when
the haulter is rotten with the weather , the carkasse drops a butten
hole lower into the chaine . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.137)

Now it fortuned that this fellow was executed on a winters afternoone
towards night , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.138)

and being hanged , the chaine was shorter then the halter , by reason
whereof he was not strangled , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.139)

but by the gamming of the chaine which could not slip close to his
necke , he hanged in great torments vnder the Iawes ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.140)

it happened that As soone as hee was trust vp , there fell a great
storme of raine and winde , whereupon all the people ran away from the
Gallowes to shelter themselues . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.141)

But night being come , and the moon shining bright , it chanced that a
Country Boore , or a waggoner and his Sonne with him were driuing their
empty waggon by the place where the fellow was hanged , who being not
choaked , in the extremity of his paines did stirre his legges and
writhe and crumple his body , which the waggoners Sonne perceiued ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.142)

and said ; Father looke , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.143)

the man vpon the Gallowes doth moue : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.144)

quoth the old man he moues indeed , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.145)

I pray the let vs make hast ; and put the Waggon vnder the Gibbet , to
see if we can vnhang and saue him . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.146)

This being said was quickely done , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.147)

and the wretch halfe dead was laid in straw in the Boores waggon , and
carried home , where with good attendance he was in foure or fiue dayes
recouered to his health , but that he had a cricke in his necke , & the
cramp in his iawes . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.148)

The old man was glad that he had done so good a deed , <paren> as he
thought </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.149)

began to giue the thiefe Fatherly counsell ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.150)

and told him that it was Gods great mercy towards him to make me
<paren> quoth he </paren> the Instrument of thy deliuerance ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.151)

and therfore looke that thou make good use of this his gracious fauour
towards thee , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.152)

and labour to redeeme the time thou hast misspent ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.153)

get the into some other Princes countrey , where thy former crimes may
not bring thee into the danger of the Law againe ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C1.154)

and there with honest <P_3,82.C2> industrious endeuours get thy liuing
. (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.155)

The thiefe seemed willing to entertaine these good admonitions ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.156)

and thanked the Boore and his Sonne , telling them that the next
morning he would be gone : and if euer his fortunes made him able , he
promised to be so grateful vnto them that they should haue cause to say
their great curtesies were well bestowed vpon him ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.157)

but all his sugred {COM:sic} sweete promises , were in the proofe but
Gall and wormwood in the performance : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.158)

for this gracelesse Caitiffe arose betimes in the morning ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.159)

and drew on a paire of Bootes and spurres which were the mans sonnes of
the house , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.160)

and slipping out of the doores , went to the stable
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.161)

and stole one of his kind hosts best horses ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.162)

and away rode hee . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.163)

The man and his Sonne , when they were vp and missed the thiefe and the
horse , were amazed at the ingratitude of the wretch ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.164)

and with all speed his sonne and he rode seuerall waies in pursuit of
him , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.165)

and in briefe one of them tooke him , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.166)

and brought him backe to their house againe ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.167)

and when it was night they bound him , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.168)

and laid him in their waggon <paren> hauing deafe eares , and hardned
hearts to all his intreaties </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.169)

and away to the Gallowes where they found him hanging ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.170)

there they with the halter being a little shortned , they left him .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.171)

The next day the Country people wondred to see him hanging there again
; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.172)

for they had seen him hanged , and missed him gone ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.173)

and now to be thus strangely & priuately come againe in boots and
spurres , whereas they remembred at his first hanging he had shoes &
stockings , it made them muse what iourney he had beene riding , & what
a mad Ghest he was to take the Gallowes for his Inne , or <paren> as I
suppose </paren> for his end . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.174)

The rumor of this accident being bruited abroad , the people came far
and neere to see him , all in general wondring how these things should
come to passe . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.175)

At last , to cleere all doubts , proclamations were published with
pardon , and a reward to any that could discouer the truth , whereupon
the old Boore & Sonne came in and related the whole circumstance of the
matter . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,82.C2.176)

At another place <paren> the hangmans place beeing void </paren> there
were two of the bloud , <paren> for it is to be noted that the
succession of that office doth lineally descend from the Father to the
Sonne , or to the next of the bloud </paren> which were at strife for
the <P_3,83.C1> possession of this high indignity .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.177)

Now it happened that 2 Men were to be beheaded at the same towne , and
at the same time , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.178)

and <paren> to auoid sute in Law for this great prerogatiue </paren> it
was concluded by the Arbitrators , that each of these new hangmen
should execute one of the Prisoners , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.179)

and he that with greatest cunning and sleight could take the head from
the body , should haue the place , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.180)

to this they all agreed (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.181)

and the Prisoners were brought forth , where one of the Execucioners
did bind a red silke thread double about his prisoners necke the
threads being distant one from another only the bredth of one thread ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.182)

and he promised to cut off the head with a backward blow with a Sword ,
betweene the threads . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.183)

The other called his Prisoner (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.184)

and told him that if he would be ruled by him , he should haue his life
saued , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.185)

and besides <paren> quoth he </paren> I shall be sure to haue the
office . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.186)

The Prisoner was glad of the motion , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.187)

and said he would doe any thing upon these conditions ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.188)

then said the Hangman , when thou art on thy knees , and hast said thy
prayers ; and that I doe lift vp my Axe , <paren> for I will vse an Axe
</paren> to strike thee , I will cry Hem , at which word doe thou rise
and run away , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.189)

<paren> thou knowest none will stay thee if thou canst once escape
after thou art deliuered into my custody , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.190)

it is the fashion of our Country </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.191)

and let me alone to shift to answer the matter :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.192)

This being said or whispered , the headsman with the sword did cut off
the Prisoners head iust betweene the threads as hee had said , which
made all the people wonder at the steddinesse of his hand ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.193)

and most of them judged that hee was the man that was and would be
fittest to make a mad hangman of . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.194)

But as one tale is good till another be told ; and as there be three
degrees of good , better , and best ; so this last hangman did much
exceed and eclipse the others cunning : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.195)

For his prisoner being on his knees , and he lifting vp his axe to giue
the fatall blow , <font> Hem </font> , <paren> said he according to
promise </paren> whereupon the fellow arose and ran away ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.196)

but when he had run some seuen or eight paces , the hangman threw the
Axe after him , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.197)

and strocke his head smoothly from his shoulders .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.198)

now for all this , who shal haue the place is vnknowne ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.199)

for they are yet in Law for it ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C1.200)

and I doubt not but before the matter bee ended , that the Lawyers will
<P_3,83.C2> make them exercise their own trades upon themselues to end
the controuersie . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.201)

This tale doth sauour somewhat Hyperbolicall
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.202)

but I wish the Reader to beleeue no more of the matter then I saw ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.203)

and there is an end . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.204)

At another Towne there stood an old ouerworne despised paire of
Gallowes , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.205)

but yet not so old but they will last many a faire yere with good viage
, (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.206)

but the Townes-men a little distance from them built another paire , in
a more stately Geometricall port and fashion , whereupon they were
demanded why they would be at the charge to erect a new Gallowes ,
hauing so sufficent an old one ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.207)

they answered , that those old Gallowes should serue to hang fugitiues
and strangers , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.208)

but those new ones were built for them and their heires for euer .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.209)

Thus much for hangmen , theeues , and Gallowses .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.210)

Yet one thing more for theeues : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.211)

In <font> Hamburgh </font> those that are not hanged for theft , are
chained 2. or 3. together , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.212)

and they must in that sort sixe or seuen yeares draw a dung-cart , and
clense the streets of the towne , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.213)

& euery one of those theeues for as many yeares as hee is condemned to
that slauery , so many Bels he hath hanged at an iron aboue one of his
shoulders , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.214)

and euery yeare a Bell is taken off , till all are gone ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.215)

and then he is a Freeman againe , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.216)

and I did see ten or twelue of these Carts ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.217)

and some of the Theeues had 7. Bels , some 5. some 6. some one ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.218)

but such a noyse they make , as if all the Diuels in Hell were dancing
the morrice . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.219)

<font> Hamburgh </font> is a free City , not being subiect to the
Emperour , or any other Prince , but onely gouerned by twenty foure
Burgomasters , whereof two are the chiefe , who are called Lords , and
doe hold that dignity from their first election during their liues :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.220)

The buildings are all of one vniforme fashion , very lofty and stately
, (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.221)

it is wonderful populous ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.222)

and the water with boats comes through most of the streets of the towne
. (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.223)

Their Churches are most gorgeously set forth , as the most of them
couered with copper , with very lofty Spires ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.224)

and withinsides they are adorned with crucifixes , Images and pictures
, which they doe charily keepe for ornaments , but not for idle or
idoll adoration ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,83.C2.225)

In S. <font> Iacobs </font> and in Saint <font> Katherines </font>
Churches there is in one of <P_3,84.C1> them a Pulpit of Alablaster ,
and in the other a paire of such Organs , which for worth and
workmanship are vnparaleld in Christendome , as most trauailers doe
relate . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.226)

The women there are not fashion mongers , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.227)

but they keepe in their degrees one continuall habit , as the richer
sort doe weare a Huicke , which is a robe of cloth or stuffe plated ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.228)

and the vpper part of it is gathered and sowed together in the forme of
an English potlid , with a tassell on the top , and so put vpon the
head , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.229)

and the garment goes ouer her ruffe and face if she please , and so
downe to the ground , so that a man may meet his owne wife , and
perhaps not know her from another Woman . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.230)

They haue no Porters to beare burdens , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.231)

but they haue bigge burly-bon'd knaues with their wiues that doe daily
draw Carts any whether vp and downe the towne , with Marchants goods or
any other imployments : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.232)

And it is reported that these Cart-drawers are to see the rich men of
the Towne prouided of milch-nurses for their children , which nurses
they call by the name of <font> Ams </font> , so that if they doe want
a nurse at any time , these felllowes are cursed , because they haue
not gotten wenches enough with childe to supply their wants .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.233)

But if a man of any fashion doe chance to goe astray to a house of
iniquity , the whilst he is in the house at his drudgery , another of
the whores will go to the Sherif , <paren> which they call the
Right-heere </paren> and informe that such a man is in such a suspected
house , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.234)

then is his comming forth narrowly watched ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.235)

and he is taken and brought before the Right-heere , and examined ,
where if he bee a man of credit , he must , and will pay forty , fifty
, or sixty Rex dollers before he will haue his reputation called in
question . Of which money the queane that did informe shall haue her
reward . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.236)

A Lawyer hath but a bad trade there , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.237)

for any Cause or Controuersie is tryed and determined in three dayes ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.238)

Quirks , Quiddits , Demurs , Habeas Corposes , Sursararaes ,
Procedendoes , or any such dilatory Law-tricks are abolished , and not
Worth a button . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C1.239)

But aboue all , I must not forget the rare actions and humours of a
Quacksaluer or Mountebanke , <P_3,84.C2> or to speake more familiarly ,
a shadow of a skilfull Chyrurgian . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.240)

This fellow beeing clad in an ancient doublet of decayed Satin , with a
Spruce Leather Ierkin with Glasse butons , the rest of his attire being
correspondent , was mounted vpon a Scaffold ; hauing shelfes set with
Viols , Gallipots , Glasses , Boxes , and such like stuffe , wherein as
he said , were Waters , Oyles , Vnguents , Emplasters , Electuaries ,
Vomits , Purges , and a world of neuer heard of Drugs ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.241)

and being mounted <paren> as I said </paren> he & his man begin to
proclaime all their skill and more , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.242)

hauing a great number of idle and ignorant gazers on , he began as
followeth <paren> as I was informed by my Interpreter , for I
vnderstood not one word he spake . </paren>
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.243)

I <font> Iacomo Compostella </font> , Practitioner in Physicke ,
Chyrurgery , and the Mathematicks , beeing a man famous through Europe
, Asia , Affricke , and America , from the Orientall exhaltation of
Titan , to his Occidentall declination , who for the Testimony of my
skill , and the rare cures that I haue done ; haue these princes hands
and seales ; as first the great <font> Cham </font> of <font> Tartaria
</font> , in whose Court , onely with this water which is the Elixar of
Henbane , diafracted in a Diurnall of Egredients Hippocraronticke ,
Auicenian , and Catarackt , with this did I cure the great Dutchesse of
<font> Promulpho </font> , of the cramp in her tongue :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.244)

and with this Oyle did I restore the Emperour <font> Gregory Euanowich
</font> ; of a Convulsion in his pericranion .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.245)

From thence I trauailed through <font> Slauonia </font> ; where I met
with <font> Mustapha Despot of Seruia </font> , who at that time was
intolerably vexed with a <font> Spasmus </font> , so that it often
droue him into a Syncope with the violent obstructions of the
conflagerating of his veines . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.246)

Onely with this precious Vnguent being the Quintessence of <font>
Mugwort </font> ; with <font> Auripigmenti </font> terragrophicated in
a Limbecke of Chystalline translucency , I recouered him to his former
health , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.247)

and for my reward I had a Barbary Horse with rich Caparions , a Turkish
Semitar , a Persian Robe , & Hungarian Ducats .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.248)

Besides , here are the hands and Seales of <font> Potohamacke </font> ,

</font> , and of diuers Princes and estates , which to auoid tedious
prolixity I omit . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,84.C2.249)

But good people <P_3,85.C1> if you or any other bee troubled with

for I am sent for speedily to the Emperour of <font> Trapezond </font>

Thus almost two houres did this fellow with embost words , and most
laborious actions , talke and swear to the people , that vnderstood no
more what he said , then he himselfe vnderstood himselfe .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.253)

And I thinke his whole takings for simple compounds did amount in the

and my first iaunt of my trauels was by water , to a Towne called
<font> Buckstahoo </font> , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.256)

it is a little walled towne , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.257)

and stands on the other side of the Riuer , 3. miles as they call it
from <font> Hamburgh </font> . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.258)

The boat we passed in is called an <font> Iuar </font> , not so good as
a Grauesend barge , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.259)

yet I thinke it be as great , & the three miles longer then from London
, to Graues-end , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.260)

for I am sure that we were going 9. houres before we could be landed :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.261)

Our passage cost vs 3. pence a peece , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.262)

and one thing I remember well , that the lazie water men will sit still
all <paren> or the most part of the way </paren> whilst their
Passengers , <paren> be they neuer so rich or poore , all is one to
them , be they men or women </paren> they must rowe by turnes an houre
or such a matter : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.263)

and we landed in the night at a place called <font> Crants </font> ,
where al the passengers were to go to Supper ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.264)

but such dver {COM:sic} we had , that the Prouerbe was truly verified
<font> God sent meat , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.265)

and the Diuel sent Cookes : </font> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.266)

for as there was no respect of persons in the boat , so all fellowes at
the Table , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.267)

and all one price , the Palatine and the Plebeian :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C1.268)

our first messe was great <P_3,85.C2> platters of blacke broth , in
shape like new ratte , and in tast Cosen Germane to slut pottage ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.269)

our second were dishes of Eeles , chop'd as small as hearbs , and the
broth they were in as salt as brine : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.270)

then had we a boyld Goose , with choake peares and carrets buried in a
deepe dish ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.271)

and when we demanded what was to pay , it was but three pence a man ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.272)

I mused at the cheapenesse of it , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.273)

but afterward they came vpon vs with a fresh reckoning of fiue pence a
man for beere , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.274)

for they neuer count their meat and drinke together ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.275)

but bring in seuerall reckonings for them :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.276)

but the morning being come , we hired a Boores Waggon , to carry vs to
a place called <font> Citezen </font> , three miles there , or 12.
English miles from <font> Buckstahoo </font> :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.277)

a little bald dorp it is , where we came about noone , and found such
slender entertainement , that we had no cause to boast of our good
cheere or our Hostesse Cookery . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.278)

We hauing refreshed our selues , and hyred a fresh Waggon , away we
went two miles further to a Dorp called <font> Rodonburgh </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.279)

this village belongeth to the Byshop of <font> Rodonburgh </font> , who
hath a faire house there , strongly walled and deepely ditched and
Moated about very defensible , with drawbridges , and good Ordinance .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.280)

This Bishop is a temporall Lord , notwithstanding his sprituall title ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.281)

and no doubt but the flesh preuailes aboue the Spirit with him ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.282)

So the Bishops of <font> Breame </font> , <font> Lunningburgh </font> ,
and diuers other places in Germany , doe very charitably take the
fleece , <paren> for they themselues neuer looke to the flocke </paren>
by reason they vse no Ecclesiastick function , but onely in name .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.283)

Being lodged at <font> Rodenburgh </font> , in a stately Inne , where
the Host , Hostesse , Guests , Cowes , Horses , Swine lay all in one
Roome ; yet I must confesse their beds to be very good , and their
linnine sweet , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.284)

but in those parts they vse no couerlet , rug , or blanket , but a good
featherbed vndermost , with cleane sheets , pillowes , and pillowbears
, and a nother {COM:sic} featherbed vppermost , with a faire sheet
aboue all , so that a mans lodging is like a womans lying In , all
white . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.285)

<font> August </font> , the wee went from <font> Rodenburgh </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.286)

and about noone wee came to an old walled towne , called <font> Feirden
</font> , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,85.C2.287)

it hath two Churches in it , and the hangmans statue very artificially
carued <P_3,86.C1> in stone , and set on a high pillar ; with a rod
rampant in his hand , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.288)

at this Towne I met with sixe strangers , all trauilers , where wee
went to dinner together all at one Table , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.289)

and euery man opened his knapsacke or budget with victuals ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.290)

<paren> for he that carries no meat with him , may fast by authority in
most places of that Country </paren> (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.291)

but to note the kindnesse of these people one to another , some had
bread and a boxe of salt butter , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.292)

some had raw bacon , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.293)

some had cheese , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.294)

some had pickled herring , some dryed beefe ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.295)

and among the rest I had brought three ribs of rost beefe , and other
prouision from <font> Hamburgh </font> : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.296)

to conclude we drew all like fidlers , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.297)

and fed <paren> for the most part </paren> like Swine ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.298)

for euery man eat what was his own (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.299)

and no man did proffer one bit of what he had to his neighhour ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.300)

so he that had cheese must dine with cheese ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.301)

for he that had meat would offer him none ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.302)

I did cut euery one a part of my rost beefe which my guide told me they
would not take well , because it is not the fashion of the Countrey :
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.303)

I tryed , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.304)

and found them very tractable to take any thing that was good , so that
I perceiued their modesty to take one from another , proceeds from
their want of manners to offer . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.305)

But dinner being done , away we went ouer a bridge , in the midst
whereof is a lynn , made in the likenesse of a great Lanthorne ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.306)

it is hanged on a turning Gybbet like a Crane : So that it may bee
turned on the bridge and ouer the Riuer , as they shall please that
haue occasion to vse it . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.307)

It is big enough to hold two men , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.308)

and it is for this purpose if any one or more do rob Gardens or
Orchards , or Corne fields , <paren> if they be taken </paren> he or
they are put into this same whirligig , or kickumbob ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.309)

and the gybbet being turned , the offender hangs in this Cage from the
Riuer some 12. or 14. foot from the water ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.310)

then there is a small Line made fast to the party some 5. or 6. fadome
, (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.311)

and with a tricke which they haue , the bottome of the Cage drops out ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.312)

and the thiefe fals sodenly into the water .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.313)

I had not gone farre , but at the end of the bridge I saw an old
Chappell , which in old time they say was dedicated to S. <font>
Frodswicke </font> , which hath the day after Saint Luke the Euangelist
: (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.314)

I entering in , perceiued it was a charitable Chappeil ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.315)

for the doores and windowes were alwayes open , by reason there were
none to shut , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C1.316)

<P_3,86.C2>

and it was a common receptacle for Beggars and Rogues .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.318)

There was the Image of our Lady with a vaile ouer her , made as I
thinke of a Baskets bolter , and Saint Peter holding a candle to her .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.319)

I cut a peece of her Vaile , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.320)

and taking <font> Peter </font> by the hand at my departure , the kind
Image <paren> I know not vpon what acquaintance </paren> beeing loose
handed , let me haue his hand with mee , which beeing made of wood , by
reason of ruinous antiquitie , burst off in the handling : which two
precious relickes I brought home with me to defend me and all my
friends from Sparrow-blasting . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.321)

From this place we were glad to trauaile on foot 1. Dutch mile to a
Dorpe called <font> Durfurne </font> , where we hired a Boores Waggon
to a Towne called <font> Neinburgh </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.322)

but we could not reach thither by 2. English miles , so that we were
glad to lodge in a Barne that night : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.323)

on the morrow early we arose (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.324)

& came to <font> Neinburgh </font> , which is a little walled towne ,
belonging to that Byshopricke from whence it is so named .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.325)

There we stayed 5. houres before we could get a Waggon ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.326)

at last wee were mounted to a Dorpe called <font> Leiz </font> , 2.
Dutch miles ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.327)

I would haue bargained with the Boore to haue carried vs to <font>
Dorne </font> , which I bade my guide tell him it was but a mile
further , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.328)

a mile quoth the Boore , indeed we call it no more ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.329)

but it was measured with a Dog , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.330)

and they threw in the taile and all to the bargaine ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.331)

so to <font> Leize </font> he carried vs , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.332)

and there we found a Waggon of <font> Dorne </font> homeward bound ,
which made vs ride the cheaper ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.333)

but it was the longest mile that euer I rode or went ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.334)

for surely it is as much as some ten of our miles in England .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.335)

But hauing ouercome it at last , from thence I tooke a fresh Waggon to
carry me two miles further to a towne called <font> Buckaburgh </font>
, where I had , and haue I hope , a Brother residing ; to whom my
iourny was entended , and with whom my perambulation was at a period .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.336)

This towne of <font> Buckeburgh </font> is wholely and solely belonging
to the Graff or Graue of <font> Shomburgh </font> , a Prince of great
command and eminence , absolute in his authoritie and power , not
countermanded by the Emperour , or any other further then courtesie
requires ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.337)

and in a word , he is one of the best accomplished Gentlemen in <font>
Europe </font> for his person , port , and Princely magnificence .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,86.C2.338)

<P_3,87.C1>

He hath there to his inestimable charge , built the Towne , with many
goodly Houses , Streets , Lanes , a strong wall , and a deepe ditch ,
all well furnished with munition and Artillerie , with a band of
Souldiers which he keepeth in continuall pay , allowing euery man a
Doller a Weeke and double apparell euery yeare .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.340)

Besides , he hath built a stately Church , being aboue steps to the
Roofe , with a faire paire of Organs , a curious carued Pulpit , and
all other Ornaments belonging to the same .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.341)

His owne Pallace may well be called an earthly Paradice , which if I
should run into the praise of the description of , I should bring my
wits into an intricate Labyrinth , that I should hardly finde my way
out , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.342)

yet according to the imbecility of my memory I will only touch a litle
at the shadow of it , and let the substance stand where it doth .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.343)

At the front or outward gate is a most stately Arch , vpon the top
whereof is erected the image of Enuy , <paren> as great as a demy
Colossus </paren> betweene two Dragons , all guilt with gold ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.344)

before the gate is an iron grate to open and shut as it were of flowers
or worke of Embroydery , at which gate stands alwayes a Court of Guard
, and a Sentinel , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.345)

and at the Lower part of the Arch is the Princes title or in Capitall
Letters as followeth ; Ernestus Dei gratia , comes Holst , Scomburgh
Spernburgh , etc. (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.346)

After I was entred within the outward gate , I was shewed his stables ,
where I saw very faire and goodly horses , both-2 for warre and other
vses , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.347)

amongst the rest there was one naturally spotted like a Leopard or
Panther , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.348)

and is called by the name of Leopard , a stately couragious beast , and
so formed as if Nature had layd all her cunning aside , onely to
compose that Horse , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.349)

and indeed I must acknowledge he was made for the Seruice of some great
prince , and not for any inferiour Person .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C1.350)

Passing further , I came to another Court of Guard , and ouer a
Draw-bridge , into the inner Court , where on the right hand , I was
conducted into the Chappell , in which Chappell , if it <P_3,87.C2>
were possible that the hand of mortall men <paren> with artificiall
workemanship </paren> could visibly set forth the magnificent glory of
the immortal Creator , then absolutely there it is .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.351)

but being impossible so to doe , <paren> as neere as I can </paren> I
will describe it ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.352)

the pauement is all of blacke and gray marble , curiously wrought with
Chequer-works , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.353)

the Seats and Pues are carued wainscot of wonderful cunning and
workemanship : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.354)

the roofe is adorned with the statues of Angels and Cherubims , many in
number , all so richly guilded , as if Gold were as plentifull as
pewter , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.355)

there could not bee more liberality bestowed ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.356)

besides there are a faire set of Organs , with a braue sweet Quire of
Quiristers : so that when they sing , the Lutes , Viols , Bandoraes ,
Organs , Recorders , Sagbuts , and other musical instuments , all
strike vp together , with such a glorious delicious harmony , as if the
Angelicall musicke of the Spheares were descendid into that earthly
Tabernacle . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.357)

The Prince himselfe is a Protestant , very zealous in his Prayer , and
diligent in his attention to the Preacher , who although I vnderstood
not , yet I perceiued he was a good Diuine , who grauely and sincerely
with reuerence and eloquent Ellocution , deliuered the bread of life to
the vnderstanding Auditors . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.358)

In this Towne I stayd with my brother from Saturday the last of <font>
August </font> , till the Thursday following which was the fifth of
<font> September </font> . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.359)

When I was conducted an English mile on my way by certaine of my
Countrey men my Lords Musicians , where wee dranke and parted , onely
my Brother and my Guide brought me that night to a strong walled Towne
called <font> Minden </font> , which standeth on the Riuer of <font>
Weazar </font> , and belongeth to the Byshop of that See .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.360)

On the morrow I walked to see the Towne , where I bought thirty sixe
Cheeses for eight pence , and a yard and a halfe of pudding for fiue
pence , which I brought into <font> England </font> for rarities .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.361)

So about noone we tooke a Boat to passe downe the Riuer , which boat is
much longer then any Westerne Barge , but nothing neere so broad ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.362)

it was halfe laden with Lime and Chalke , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.363)

and by reason the Wind blew hard , we were almost choaked with the
flying and scattering of that dustie commodity .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,87.C2.364)

Besides the Water was so <P_3,88.C1> shallow , that we ran aground
three or foure times , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.365)

and sometimes an hour , sometimes lesse before we could get a float
againe : which made mee and my Guide goe a shore at a village called
<font> Peterhaghen </font> , where we hired a Waggon to <font> Leize
</font> , where we stayed all night , <paren> being come into our old
way againe where were a crew of strowling Rogues and Whores that tooke
vpon them the name of AEgyptians , Iuglers , and Fortune-tellers ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.366)

and indeed one of them held the Goodwife with a tale , the whilst
another was picking her chest , and stole out ten dollers which is
forty shillings and she that talked with her , looked in her hand , and
told her that if she did not take great heed she knew by her Art that
some mischance was neere her : which prooued true ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.367)

for her money was gone , the whilst her fortune was telling .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.368)

But I appointed a Waggon ouer night to bee ready by three of the Clocke
in the morning , when I arose and applied my trauaile so hard by
changing fresh Waggons , so that that day I came as farre as <font>
Rodenburgh </font> , which was nine Dutch miles , where I stayed that
night : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.369)

The next day being Sunday the eighth of <font> September </font> , we
took Waggon toward <font> Buckstahoo </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.370)

$we $had a merry Boore , with an hundred tatters about him
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.371)

and now I thinke it fit to describe these Boores , their natures ,
habits , and vnmannerly manners . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.372)

In our English tongue the name Bore or Boore doth truely explaine their
swinish condition , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.373)

for most of them are as full of humanity as a Bacon-hog , or a Bore ,
and their wiues as cleanly and courteous as Sowes .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.374)

For the most part of the men they are clad in thin buckerom , vnlined ,
barelegged and footed , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.375)

neyther band nor scarce shirt , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.376)

no woollen in the world about them , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.377)

and thus will they run through all weathers for money by the Waggons
side , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.378)

and though no better apparelled , yet all of them haue Houses , Land ,
or manuall meanes to liue by . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.379)

The substantiall Boores I did meet aboue of them that Sunday , $euery
$one $with {TEXT:with_euery_one} a Hatchet in his hand ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.380)

I mused at it , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.381)

and thought they had beene going to fell Wood that day ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C1.382)

but my Guide told me they were all going to Church , and that instead
of Cloakes , they carried Hatchets , and that it was the fashion of the
Country : whereupon it came <P_3,88.C2> to my mind , Cloake , <font>
quasi </font> Cleaue-oake , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.383)

<font> ergo </font> the Boores weare Hatchets in steed of Cloakes .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.384)

There are other fashion Boores , who weare white Linnen breeches as
close as Irish touzes , but so long , that they are turned vp at the
shooe in a role like a Maides sleeues {COM:are_turned_up} at the hand ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.385)

but what these fellowes want in the bignesse of their Hose , they haue
in Dublets , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.386)

for their sleeues are as big as Breeches , and the bodies great enough
to hold a Kinderkin of beere , and a barrell of Butter .
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.387)

The Country is very full of Woods , and especially Oakes , which they
very seldome cut down , because of the Mast for their Swine , which
liue there in great abundance . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.388)

If any man bee slaine or murthered in the way , they vse to set vp a
wooden Crosse in the place , for a memoriall of the bloudie fact
committed there , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.389)

and there were many of those woodden Crosses in the way as I trauailed
. (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.390)

They seldome haue any Robbery committed amongst them , but there is a
murther with it , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.391)

for their vnmannerly manner is to knocke out a mans braines first , or
else to lurke behind a Tree , and shoot a man with a peece or a Pistol
, and so make sure worke with the passenger , and then search his
pockets . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.392)

It is as dangerous to steale or kill an Hare in some places there as it
is to rob a Church or kill a man in <font> England </font> ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.393)

and yet a two-penny matter will discharge the offender ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.394)

for the best and the worst is but an Halter ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.395)

and I was enformed that an English Marchant <paren> not knowing the
danger </paren> as he was riding on the way , hauing a peece charged in
his hand <paren> as it is an ordinary weapon to trauaile with there
</paren> by chance he espeyed an hare , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.396)

and shot at her (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.397)

and killed her ; (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.398)

but hee was apprehended for it , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.399)

and it was like to haue cost him his life ;
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.400)

but before he got out of the trouble , he was faine to vse his best
friends and meanes , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.401)

<paren> and pleading ignorance for his innocency , at last with the
losse of a great deale of liberty , and fiue hundred pound in money he
was discharged : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.402)

The reason of this strict course is , because all the Hares in the
Country doe belong to one Lord or other , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,88.C2.403)

and being in aboundance , they are killed by the owners appointment ,
and carried to the markets <P_3,89.C1> by Cart-loads , and sold for the
vse of the honourable owners : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.404)

And no Boore or Tenant that dwels in those parts where those Hares are
plenty , must keepe a Dogge , except hee pay fiue shillings a yeere to
the Lord , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.405)

or else one of his fore-feet must be cut off , that hee may not hunt
Hares . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.406)

A man is in almost as high proportion to be a knaue in England , as
{COM:to_be} a Knight in Germany , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.407)

for there a Gentleman is called a Youngcur , and a Knight is but a
Youngcurs man , so that you shall have a scuruy Squire command a Knight
to hold his stirrop , plucke off his boots , or any other vnknightly
peece of seruice : (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.408)

and verily I thinke there are an seuerall Princes , Earles , Byshops ,
and other Estates , that doe euery one keepe a mint , and in their owne
names stampe Money , Gold , Siluer and Brasse ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C1.409)

and amongst 23. two pences <P_3,89.C2> which I had of their brasse
money , <paren> which they call Grushes </paren> I had 13. seuerall
coynes . (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C2.410)

Many more such worthie iniunctions and honourable ordinances I obserued
, which are hardly worth pen and inke the describing ,
(JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C2.411)

and therefore I omit them , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C2.412)

and draw toward an end , (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C2.413)

for on the Wednesday morning I was at an anchor at <font> Stoad </font>
, (JOTAYLOR-E2-P1,3,89.C2.414)

and on the Friday night following I was <paren> by Gods gracious
assistance </paren> Landed at London . So that in three weekes and
three dayes I sayled from <font> England </font> to <font> Hamburgh
</font> and backe againe , staying in the Countrey 17. dayes , and
trauailed miles by Land there : gathering like a busie Bee all these
honied obseruations , some by sight , some by hearing , some by both ,
some by neither , and some by bare supposition .
