Scottish pints of wine were consumed and brought to nothing for a farewell there at Master Iames Baylies house I tooke leaue and Master Iames Acmootye commi●●● for England said that if I would ride with ●●● that neither I nor my horse should want●●●● twixt that place and London Now I hauing ● money or meanes for trauell began at once ●● examine my manners and my want at last my want perswaded my manners to accept of this worthy Gentlemans vndeserued courtesie So that night he brought me to a place called C●per-spath where we lodged at an Inne the li●● of which I dare say is not in any of his M●●●sties Dominions And for to shewe my thankfulnesse to Master William Arnet and his wife the Owners thereof I must explaine their bountifull entertainement of guests which is this Suppose ten fifteene or twenty men and horses come to lodge at their house the men shall haue flesh tame and wild-fowle fish with all varietie of good cheere good lodging and welcome and the horses shall want neither hay or prouender and at the morning at their departure the reckoning is iust nothing This is this worthy Gentlemens vse his chiefe delight being onely to giue strangers entertainment gratu And I am sure that in Scotland beyond Edenborough I haue beene at houses like Castles for building the master of the house his heauen being his blue Bounet one that will weare no other shirts but of the

more euery day releeuing three or foure score poore people at his gate and besides all this can giue noble entertainment for foure or fiue dayes together to fiue or sixe Earles and Lords besides Knights Gentlemen and their ●●llowers if they hee three or foure hundred men and horse of them where they shall not onely feede but feast and not feast but banker this is a man that desires to know nothing so ●●●●●●● his duty to God and his King whose ●●●● cares are to practise the workes of ●●●●● Charity and Hospitality he neuer studies the consuming Art of fashionlesse fashions hee neuer tries his strength to beare foure or fiue hundred Acres on his backe at once his legges are alwayes at liberty not being settred with golden garters and mana●●ed with artificial Roses whose weight sometime is the Reliques of some decayed Lordship Many of these worthy house-keepers there are in Scotland amongst some of them I was entertained from whence I did truely gather these aforesaid obseruations So leauing Coberspath we rode to Barwicke where the worthy old Soldier and ancient Knight Sir William Bowyer made me welcome but contrary to his will we lodged at an Inne where Master Iames Acmooty paid all charges but at Barwhicke there was a grieuous chance hapned which I thinke not fit the relation to be omitted In the Riuer of Tweed which runnes by Barwicke are taken by Fishermen that dwell there infinite numbers of fresh Salmons so that many housholds and families are relieued by the profit of that fishing but how long since I know not there was an order that no man or boy whatsoeuer should fish vpon a Sunday This order continued long amongst them till some eight or nine weekes before Michaelmas last on a Sunday the Salmons plaid in such great aboundance in the Riuer that some of the Fishermen contrary to Gods law and their owne order tooke Boates and nettes and fished and caught three hundred Salmons but from that time vntill Michaelmas day that I was there which was nine weekes and heard the report of it and saw the poore peoples lamentations they had not seene one Salmon in the Riuer and some of them were in despaire that they should neuer see any more there affirming it to be Gods Iudgement vpon them for the prophanation of the Sabbath The thirtieth of September we rode from Barwicke to Belford from Belford to Anwicke the next day from Amrick to Newcastle where I found the noble Knight Sir ●●enry witherington who because I would haue no gold nor siluer gaue me a bay Mare in requitall of a loafe of bread that I had giuen him two and twenty yeeres before at the Iland of Flores of the which I haue spoken before I ouertooke at Newcastle a great many of my worthy friends which were all comming for London namely Master Robert Hay and Master Dauid Drummond where I was welcom'd at Master Nicholas Tempests house From Newcastle I rode with those Gentlemen to Durham to Darington to Northalerton and to Topel●sse in Yorkeshire where I tooke my leaue of them and would needs try my pennilesse fortunes by my selfe and see the City of Yorke where I was lodged at my right Worshipfull good friend Master Doctor Hudson one of his Maiesties Chaplaines who went with me and shewed me the goodly Minster Church there and the most admirable rare-wrought vnfellowed Chapter house From Yorke I rode to Doncaster where my horses were well fed at the Beare but my selfe found out the honourable Knight Sir Robert Anslruther at his father in lawes the truely noble Sir Robert Swifts house he being then high Sheriffe of Yorkeshire where with their good Ladies and the right Honourable the Lord Sanquhar I was stayed two nights and one day Sir Robert Anslruther I thanke him not only paying for my two horses meat but at my departure he gaue me a letter to Newarke vpon Trent twenty eight miles in my way where Master George Atkinson mine Host made me as welcome as if I had beene a French Lord and what was to be paid as I call'd for nothing I paid as much and left the reckoning with many thankes to Sir Robert Anstruther So leauing Newarke with another Gentleman that ouertooke me we came at night to Stamford to the signe of the Virginitie or the Maydenhead where I deliuered a Letter from the Lord Sanguhar which caused Master Bates and his wife being the Master and Mistresse of the house to make me and the Gentleman that was with me great cheere for nothing From Stamford the next day we rode to Huntington where we lodged at the Post-masters house at the signe of the Crowne his name is Riggs He was informed who I was and wherefore I vndertooke this my pennilesse Progresse wherefore he came vp to our chamber and sup'd with vs and very bountifully called for three quarts of Wine and Sugar and foure Iugges of Beere He did drinke and beginne healths like a Horse-leech and swallowed downe his cuppes without feeling as if he had had the dropsie or nine pound of Spunge in his maw In a word as he is a Poste he dranke poste striuing and
