as if he were then very hot upon the Chase and next to him Acteon transformed into a Stag with his Pack of Hounds worrying and devouring him the next is Diana with an Half-Moon upon her head and the Planets under her feet her Quiver in her hand and her Horn by her side and before her is a Greyhound as it were in a close pursuit after the Hare next to this stands old Time with an Hour-glass on his head a Sythe in his left hand and a prodigal Youth in his right and Death under his Feet with this Inscription Tempus edax rerum in the middle hangs the sign of the White Heart ingeniously contrived into an Oval figure with two Angels and two Lions on each corner under one of which are placed four naked Boys treading of Grapes and under the other a Mountebank shewing of Feats of Activity on both sides are the Arms of the chief Families both in Suffolk and Norfolk and also a Shepherd playing merrily upon his Pipes and last of all on each side of the Post which supports the whole Fabrick stands three-headed Cerberus the Great of the Infernal Court and old grisle-bearded Charon with his Boat and Oars wafling a Wench over the Stigion Lake the splendedness of this curious and costly piece of Workmanship is worthy of any Traveller's observation The next Town of Note we came to in this County was YARMOUTH which entertained us with a pleasant Prospect the Haven being as commodious as the Town is beautiful and is fortified both by Art and Nature for although it be environed almost round with Water on the West side by the River Yare from whence it borrows its Name which hath a Drawbridge over it and from other parts with the Ocean unless it be Northward where there is firm Land yet it is likewise enclosed with a very strong Wall upon which besides Towers is cast up a Mount towards the East and there are likewise planted several pieces of Ordnance to defend the Town and command the Seas there is but one Church but that is fair and lofty adorned with a high Spire-steeple built at first by Herbert Bishop of Norwich there are also divers clean and spacious Streets on each side of which are several Rows of very uniform Buildings inhabited by wealthy and gentle Persons This Town is of no long date or standing as appears by Antiquaries for it received its beginning from the Ruins of old Garianum which was near this place after which in a short time as we were informed built this new Town which grew potent and populous and they strengthened it with a Wall and grew very numerous in Inhabitants and there happened a fearful and sudden Pestilence which in the space of a Year brought above seven Thousand Men and Women to their Graves all which was faithfully recorded in an ancient Table which formerly used to hang up in their Church but since restored to its primitive Lustre and their Wealth hath increased and 't is now a place of great Merchandize and Traffick but especially renowned for its Fishery of Herrings of which at the Season here is very great plenty and by their care and industry are salted and dried in particular Houses designed and appointed for that very purpose and do supply our own and foreign Nations too The next place of Note we went to was NORWICH is one of the most renowned Cities in our Brittish Island for whether we consider the Wealth of the Citizens the Number of Inhabitants the great Conference of Foreigners the stately Structures and beautiful Churches the obliging Carriage of the Gentry and the Industry of the Commons do all concur to illustrate and dignifie it 'T is situated on the brow of a Hill and environed with a Wall in which are placed divers Turrets and twelve Gates to give entrance into the City unless it be on the East side where the River Yare after it hath with many windings watered the most part of the City having four Draw-bridges for People to pass over and is a farther defence by reason of its deep Channel and high Banks 't is reported to be a Mile and a half in length and half as much in breadth It hath had great Misfortunes and suffered very much by the Danes when they took their range in these parts and after William the Conqueror had settled the Brittish Crown upon his head it suffered much more which is too tedious to relate but in succeeding Ages it began to recruit its Strength and hath flourished exceedingly King Henry the First permitted the Citizens to Wall their City and King Richard the Second gave them a Grant for the Transportation of Worsted and to advance their Trade which was extreamly eclipsed King Henry the Fourth renewed their Charter and conferred on them the Honour to chuse every Year a Mayor for their Magistrate whereas by a former Order from King Stephen they were only governed by Coroners and Baliffs It containeth thirty two Parishes forty two Chappels and Churches of which the Cathedral is the fairest and chiefest the first Stone of which was laid by Bishop Herbert in the Reign of King William Rufus who Translated the Episcopal See from Thetford to this place and procured a Grant to have it confirmed the Mother-Church of Norfolk and Suffolk endowing it with great Revenues and it is a very stately and magnificent Structure but most famous for its Roof which runs aloft over the very body of it on which is drawn to the life the whole History of the Bible in divers little Images curiously carved and adorned from the Creation of the World to the Ascention of our blessed Saviour or the Descent of the Holy Ghost with the perfect resemblance of our Lord's Crucifiction and Resurrection and divers other things The Market Cross and Cloister of the Cathedral are the fairest in England There is a great House that was the Duke of Norfolk's now the Earl of Arundel's where there are very fine Granaries and the best Bowling-Alley in the Kingdom There is also an Hospital where an hundred Men and Women are maintained The Arms of the City are the Castle and Lion After some time of abode in this City we Travelled to a little Village called TETTLESHALL in the Parish-Church whereof is erected a stately Monument of Marble in honour to Sir Edward Cooke that most famous Lawyer of his time on the top are placed his Coat of Arms with the four Cardinal Vertues to support them at each corner his Effigies is of Marble laid out at full length above which this Motto is engraven'd Prudens qui Patiens and underneath in golden Characters this following Inscription The Monument of Sir Edward Cooke Knight born at Mileham in Norfolk Recorder of Norwich and London Solliciter to Queen Elizabeth and Speaker to the Parliament afterwards Attorney General to her and King James Chief Justice of both Benches a Privy Councillor as also of Council to Queen Anne and Chief Justice in
