observation_n 1641._o print_a in_o the_o year_n 1641._o all_o to_o westminster_n in_o the_o still_a hour_n of_o the_o gloomy_a night_n when_o morpheus_n be_v the_o secure_a canopy_n of_o most_o man_n heart_n my_o trouble_a fancy_n keep_v i_o wake_v and_o various_a whimsy_n do_v suggest_v into_o my_o secret_a thought_n whereby_o my_o weary_a body_n can_v take_v no_o rest_n though_o in_o the_o still_a hour_n of_o the_o cloudy_a night_n but_o after_o the_o pass_v over_o of_o some_o sad_a meditation_n the_o moon_n begin_v to_o shine_v which_o seem_v to_o i_o delightful_a then_o i_o arise_v for_o my_o cogitation_n invite_v i_o to_o walk_v abroad_o i_o go_v into_o the_o city_n and_o walk_v from_o street_n to_o street_n but_o the_o beat_n of_o the_o city_n drum_n do_v almost_o break_v my_o brain_n i_o go_v into_o the_o country_n and_o espy_v a_o great_a house_n i_o visit_v it_o and_o when_o i_o approach_v i_o cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o it_o &_o walk_v about_o it_o where_o at_o last_o i_o behold_v the_o porch_n i_o go_v into_o it_o and_o there_o i_o lay_v i_o down_o to_o sleep_v but_o i_o be_v soon_o disturb_v the_o country_n swain_n come_v thither_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n with_o their_o long_a pike-stave_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o their_o pouch_n hang_v by_o their_o side_n they_o sright_v i_o terrible_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o think_v of_o it_o but_o i_o speak_v bold_o unto_o they_o and_o ask_v they_o what_o place_n that_o be_v who_o answer_v i_o that_o a_o judge_n dwell_v there_o i_o ask_v they_o again_o do_v your_o judge_n quoth_v i_o hear_v case_n in_o the_o night_n and_o they_o tell_v i_o that_o they_o be_v thus_o often_o trouble_v and_o detract_v from_o their_o rest_n to_o come_v thither_o else_o quoth_v they_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o law_n but_o never_o meet_v with_o gospeler_n i_o ask_v they_o why_o they_o carry_v such_o long_a staff_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o such_o pouch_n by_o their_o side_n and_o many_o such_o like_a question_n and_o they_o tell_v i_o that_o their_o staff_n be_v to_o defend_v they_o from_o thief_n that_o lie_v lurk_v up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n and_o that_o their_o bag_n be_v to_o put_v writing_n &_o their_o money_n in_o both_o which_o they_o bring_v to_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o house_n to_o defend_v their_o cause_n and_o assist_v they_o against_o their_o adversary_n that_o will_v wrong_v they_o in_o their_o estate_n but_o they_o tell_v i_o such_o a_o story_n that_o i_o be_v almost_o mad_a i_o think_v the_o house_n begin_v to_o sink_v and_o i_o poor_a timorous_a caitiff_n begin_v to_o fly_v and_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o the_o church-porch_n there_o i_o lay_v i_o down_o again_o think_v with_o myself_o sure_o here_o i_o shall_v rest_v quiet_o but_o before_o i_o be_v web_n lay_v and_o have_v contrive_v my_o place_n to_o lie_v to_o sleep_v i_o hear_v a_o clomp_a noise_n as_o if_o some_o horse_n have_v come_v into_o the_o porch_n and_o look_v what_o it_o be_v i_o espy_v a_o country_n fellow_n i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o sexton_n come_v to_o toll_n the_o bell_n for_o some_o body_n that_o lie_v die_v and_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o my_o lord_n grace_n of_o canterbury_n have_v send_v a_o command_n that_o none_o shall_v put_v the_o consecrate_a temple_n to_o common_a use_n and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o must_v not_o sleep_v in_o the_o church-porch_n for_o it_o be_v

there_o trouble_v with_o so_o many_o cross_n &_o hear_v so_o many_o lamentation_n like_o forlorn_a pilgrim_n among_o the_o people_n that_o be_v extreme_a weary_a and_o discontent_a i_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o depart_v then_o away_o i_o betake_v i_o into_o scotland_n and_o there_o i_o meet_v with_o 3_o or_o 4_o bonny_a scot_n in_o their_o blue_a cap_n and_o i_o tell_v they_o the_o story_n of_o my_o travel_n &_o they_o make_v i_o to_o drink_v of_o their_o scottish_a ale_n and_o comfort_v i_o and_o tell_v i_o that_o my_o best_a way_n to_o rest_v quiet_o be_v to_o obtain_v a_o lodging_n in_o
