A64216	John Taylors vvandering, to see the vvonders of the vvest. How he travelled neere 600. miles, from London to the Mount in Cornwall, and beyond the Mount, to the Lands end, and home againe. Dedicated to all his loving friends, and free minded benefactors. In these dangerous dayes for rich men, and miserable times for the poore servants of the late King, (whereof I was one, 45. yeers to his royall father and himself) I thought it needful to take some course to make use of some friends, and devise a painfull way for my subsistence; which was the journey I have past, and this booke heere present; for which purpose I gave out many of these following bills, to which neere 3000. gentlemen and others, have kindly subscribed, to give me a reasonable reward.	Taylor, John, 1580-1653.	1649 (1649)	Wing T528; ESTC R203757	12,426	22

22. Nets every Cornish Bushell is in measure 2. Bushels and a halfe of our measure at London every 2. Boates or Seine doe spend 250. Bushels of Salt Cornish measure to salt Pilchards only every Seine do use 100. Hogsheads to pickle the sayd Pilchards in yearly So that this one little Towne doth spend by Gods blessing and the meanes of those small fishes every year Of Salt 22 times 350 Cornish Bushells which is in the number of our Bushells 14000,350 Of Hogsheads or Caske 2200. Of men for 44 Boats 6 men for each 264. These men with their Families being many in Number are all maintained by Pilchard catching but this is not all for there are other greater ●ownes in the County which doe every one of them use the same trade of fishing with more and greater numbers of men boats nets caske and much more quantity of salt some of the other Townes are S. Keverne Foye Lee with others which I cannot recite This infinite number of Pilchards being salted and put up in Caske are bought a mane by the Spanish French Datch Italian and other Merchants and by them they are either eaten or fold and transported to many other people and Nations And now I hope I have filled my Renders bellies with Pilchards without cloying or offending their stomack● if any one be queasie or doe feele a wambling in the Gizzard let them call for a cup of S●ck drinke it and pay for it The 23 of Iuly I came to Foye and to Loo or Low twenty miles this Towne of Loo is divided in two parts or two Townes together two Mayors two Churches two Governours and more then two Religions all that I can say of either of the Looes is that there was Souldiers and swordmen strong Beere and dagger Ale Land flesh and Sea fish in plenty On the 24. of Iuly I turned my back upon Cornewall and went from Loo to Plimouth in Devonshire twelve miles At Plimouth I stayd not two houres the Towne was too full of suspitions to hold me There I saw Colonel William Leg a prisoner in the Towerhouse or Guild hall I spake to him being on the ore side of the way in a window and he on the other in a low whispering voice that every one might heare what we sayd I wished him health and liberty and so left him in thraldome There was two Stationers did make me very welcome for two or three houres their names were Thomas Ratcliffe and William Weekes they gave me smoake and drinke in Plimouth for which I require them in Paper and Inck at London That afternoone I left Plimouth and went foure miles further to Plimpton and on the morrow being Saint Iames his day I hired a horse forty miles to Exeter where I was two dayes entertained at mine owne cost with some charges that Burgomasters and Bookesellers underwent I can say little of Exeter but that it is a faire sweete City a goodly Cathedrall Church not yet quite spoyled or stabled and it had large Suburbs with long streets and many fine dwellings till this mad fire of contention turned all to ruines rubbidge cinders Ashes and fume Two houres before Phabus appeared in our hemisphere I was on footback from Exeter to Honiton the 27. of Iuly there I had a nights lodging and dyet of such a homely fashion as I have no occasion to boast of there I hired a Horse which proved to be a blinde Mare she had two wens as big as clusters of Grapes hung over both her eyes and five or six wens on her shoulders and flanks all which beautifull ornaments I could not perceive or see till I had road the beast foure mile for I was mounted before the breake of day but when I saw the comelynesse of the beast betweene shame and anger I was almost mad at the Rogue that owned her and being neere to a Market Towne called Axmister I dismounted and footed eight miles to Broad Winsor in Dersetshire where I was better horst eight miles further to Evershot and then I paced on foote eight miles further to the Towne of Sherbourne that dayes travell was 31 mile The 31 of Iuly I went from Sherbourne to Shafisbury and so to Wilton and Salisbury 31 mile At Wilton I saw the Earle of Pembrokes Magnificent and Sumptuous Building and repairing of such a stately Fabrick that for strength beauty forme state glazing painting gilding carving pollishing embellishing and adorning It may be a Pallace for the greatest King in Christendome the Springs and Fish-ponds the Garden the Walkes the rare Artificiall Rocks and Fountaines the Ponds with fish on the house top the strange figures and fashions of the water workes the numerous innumerable varieties of fruits and flowers yea all and every thing that may make an earthly Paradice is there to be seene felt heard or understood which because I understand not I shut up all with this there is inestimable cost exquisite Art and Artists most exceeding good work and workemen onely one thing that is quite out of fashion almost every where is used there which is good and just payment From Wilton to Salisbury two miles there I sleeped out the later end of the whole Moneth of Iuly I had a desire to go into the Church there one of the fairest in England but now the playes be downe there was no sights to be seen without money which though I could have payd yet for two Reasons I would not the one was because I had oftentimes seene that Church in former times when Gods Service was sayd there and the second cause why I would not be guilty of Simony and with corrupting Mammon enter or intrude into the House of God The first of August I footed to Andover fifteene old miles and eighteene new ones of the Posts late measuring The next day to Merrell Greene 24 miles the third day to Stanes eighteene miles and the fourth of August fifteene miles to London My journey being in all 546 miles which I went and came in six Weekes and lay still and rested twelve dayes in severall places on Weeke dayes besides six Sundayes But all this was nothing to me being a youth of threescore and ten with a lame leg and a halfe and there is an end of the story Like to the stone of Sisiphus I roule From place to place through weather faire and foule And yet I every day must wander still To vent my Bookes and gather friends good will I must confesse this worke is frivalowse And he that for it daigues to give a lowse Doth give as much for 't as 't is worth I know Yet meerly merily I this jaunt did goe In imitation of a mighty King Whose warlike acts good fellowes often sing The King of France and twenty thousand men Went up the Hill and so came downe agen So I this travell past with cost and paine And as I wisely went came home againe FINIS
