A13485	The pennyles pilgrimage, or The money-lesse perambulation, of Iohn Taylor, alias the Kings Majesties water-poet How he trauailed on foot from London to Edenborough in Scotland, not carrying any money to or fro, neither begging, borrowing, or asking meate, drinke or lodging. With his description of his entertainment in all places of his iourney, and a true report of the vnmatchable hunting in the brea of Marre and Badenoch in Scotland. With other obseruations, some serious and worthy of memory, and some merry and not hurtfull to be remembred. Lastly that (which is rare in a trauailer) all is true.	Taylor, John, 1580-1653.	1618 (1618)	STC 23784; ESTC S118255	31,268	54

of_o enemy_n that_o royal_a crown_n and_o sceptre_n have_v from_o one_o hundred_o and_o seven_o descent_n keep_v still_o unconquered_a and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n through_o
