another All that the Elector could say to compose them was either not heard or not valued nor could any thing satisfie and reassure them till they saw the Actors come marching out of their Den. Had not many Persons of Quality and Travellers seen this Fat as well as my self who know that what I say of its incredible bigness to be true I should be afraid the Reader might think I imposed upon his Credulity From Heidleberg I went to see that impregnable Fort or Cittadel of Manheim allas Fredericksberg built by the Elector Frederick Brother to Prince Rupert a Prince of as good a Head as any Germany afforded who though some have too partially judged of him by his Misfortunes yet by the wisest of the Age was accounted the Cato of Germany The Wisest and best Men of the World have been unfortunate which makes some to be of the Opinion That God in his Wisdom thinks fit it should be so lest otherwise they might attribute their Prosperity rather to the wise direction of their own Conduct than his All-seeing Providence And indeed daily Experience seems to evince the Truth of this since we see Knaves and Fools advanced to Preferment and Riches when Men of Virtue and Parts die neglected and poor in the Eyes of the World though rich in the enjoyment of a contented Mind But this is a digression which the Honour I have for the memory of that great Man hath led me into and therefore I hope will be pardoned by the Reader In the Cittadel of Manheim I saw some of the Records of that Illustrious Family which without dispute is the most ancient of all the Secular Electors being Elder to that of Bavaria which sprung from one and the same Stock to wit two Emperors of Germany Many Writers derive them originally from Charlemain by the Line of Pepin King of France There have been several Emperors of that Race one King of Denmark and four Kings of Sueden one of which was King of Norway also besides many great Generals of Armies in Germany Hungary France and other Countrys Since I can remember there were five Protestant Princes Heirs to that Electoral Dignity alive which now by their Death is fallen to the Duke of Newbourg the present Prince Elector Palatine a Roman Catholick whose Daughter is Empress of Germany and another of his Daughters Married to the King of Portugal a third to the King of Spain and a fourth to Prince James of Poland BEing so near Strasbourg I had the curiosity to go see what figure that Famous City now made since it had changed its Master for I had been thrice there before when it flourished under the Emperors Protection with the liberty of a Hansiatick Town And indeed I found it so disfigured that had it not been for the stately Cathedral Church and fair Streets and Buildings I could scarcely have known it In the Streets and Exchange which formerly were thronged with sober rich and peaceable Merchants you meet with none hardly now but Men in Buff-Coats and Scarffs with rabbles of Soldiers their Attendants The Churches I confess are gayer but not so much frequented by the Inhabitants as heretofore seeing the Lutherans are thrust into the meanest Churches and most of the chief Merchants both Lutherans and Calvinists removed to Holland and Hambourg Within a few years I beleive it will be just such another City for Trade and Riches as Brisac is It was formerly a rich City and well stockt with Merchants and wealthy Inhabitants who lived under a gentle and easie Government but now the Magistrates have little else to do in the Government but only to take their Rules and Measures from a Cittadel and great Guns which are Edicts that Merchants least understand I confess Strasbourg is the less to be pittied that it so tamely became a Slave and put on its Chains without any strugling Those Magistrates who were Instruments in it are now sensible of their own Folly and bite their Nails for Anger finding themselves no better but rather worse hated than the other Magistrates who did what they could to hinder the Reception of their new Masters the French I quickly grew weary of being here meeting with nothing but complaints of Poverty and paying exorbitant Taxes I therefore soon returned to my Petty-London Francfort and from thence went to Cassel the chief Residence of the Landtgrave of Hesse This Prince is a Calvinist as most of his Subjects are very grave and zealous in his Religion He Married a Princess of Courland by whom he hath an hopeful Issue to wit three Sons and two Daughters King Charles II. was God-Father to one of his Sons 〈◊〉 was Christened by the Name of Charles Captain William Legg Brother to the Lord Dartmouth representing his Majesty as his Envoy The Court of this Prince does indeed resemble a well-governed College or Religious Cloister in regard of its Modesty and Regularity in all Things and especially in the Hours of Devotion He is Rich in Money and entertains about Nine Thousand Men in constant Pay under the Command of Count Vanderlip a brave and expert Soldier his Lieutenant General but can bring many more upon occasion into Field This Family hath been very happy both in its Progeny and Alliances many Wise Princes of both Sexes having sprung from it and the Mother of this present Landtgrave may be reckoned amongst the Illustrious Women of the present and past Ages After the Death of William V. Landtgrave of Hesse her Husband she not only supported but advanced the War wherein he was engaged did many signal Actions enlarged her Territories and at the conclusion of the Peace kept under her Pay 56 Cornets of Horse in five Regiments 166 Companies of Foot besides 13 Companies of Dragoons and 14 Independent Companies in all 249 Companies of Horse and Foot She was a Princess extreamly obliging to Strangers especially virtuous and learned Divines I had the Honour a good many years ago to kiss her Highnesses Hand at which time she was mighty Zealous in promoting an Accommodation amongst different Religions as the Roman Catholick Lutheran and Calvinist but especially betwixt the two latter and therefore entertained Doctor Duris at her Court in Cassels who wrote several pieces upon that Subject of Reconciliation and with some of his Friends had a Conference with a Learned Priest that came from Rome to forward the Project whereupon the Doctor Published his Book of the Harmony of Consent which is highly esteemed in Germany FRom this Princes Court I directed my Journey to Hanouer taking Lambspring in my way a place where there is a Convent of English Monks and there I met with a very aged worthy and harmless Gentleman Sir Thomas Gascoigne a Person of seeming great Integrity and Piety the Lord Abbot and several of the Monks I had seen there formerly This Monastery is very obliging to all Strangers that Travel that way as well as to their own Country-men and is highly respected by

the Bastions and the space of Ground between the Wall and the Houses and all the Ground unbuilt from the Utricks-Port to the Wesoper-Port Muyer-Port and 〈◊〉 the Seaside and you will find it to be near 〈◊〉 Morgans of Land There are two Parishes in the Suburbs of London viz. Stepney and St. Martins in the Fields the latter being so big that the Parliament divided it into four Parishes either of them have more Houses than Rotterdam or Haerlem and there are several other great Parishes as St. Margarets Westminster St. Giles in the Fields St. Olaves and St. Mary Saviours the which if they stood apart in the Country would make great Cities we reckon in London and the Suburbs thereof to be at least 130 Parishes which contains 100000 Houses now if you reckon 8 Persons to every House then there are near 800000 Souls in London but there are some that say there is a Million of Souls in it I shall now set down the Cities Alphabetically and their number of Houses as they were given to me not only from the Surveyors and City Carpenters but from the Books of the Hearth-Money and Collectors of the several Taxes in the respective Cities And first I shall begin with the 18 Cities that have Voices in the States of Holland Cities in HOLLAND Cities Houses 1.
