and sloth, for tho’ the sea would bear a ship of 300 tun up quite to y^e Key, and y^e ships of y^e first Rate Can Ride w^{th} in two mile of the town, yet they make no advantage thereof by any sort of manufacture, w^{ch} they might do as well as Colchester and Norwitch, so that y^e shipps that brings their Coales goes Light away, neither do they address themselves to victual or provide for shipps. They have a Little dock where formerly they built ships of 2 or 3 tun, but now Little or Nothing is minded save a Little ffishing for y^e supply of y^e town. There is one pretty good house of y^e Earle of Herrifords that marry’d one of M^r Norborns Daughters, that was Killed by S^r Tho: Montgomery. You Enter thro’ two Courts walled and divided by a breast wall on w^{ch} are Iron spikes pallasadoes: the Middle is a broad gravell walk fenced in w^{th} stone walls; on Each side 3 or 4 steps up into the other Court, and so many steps more thro’ an arch into a third Court. This arch joyns a Low building w^{ch} are the offices Leaded on the top, and rail’d round, and Each End Enters into Chambers joyning to y^e house, that is built round this Last Court from whence you Enter y^e porch. The house is handsome all brick worke and brick pillars; a good hall, parlour, and drawing roome, and Large Closet, 2 or 3 other Roomes less, answereing it and a Billyard Roome above w^{th} as many roomes of state all ffurnish’d w^{th} good old things: a pretty staircase, but its all Little. There are 3 gardens on the one side w^{th} grass and gravell walkes all kept neate, and good fruite; on the other side is one Large garden w^{th} a sumer house in w^{ch} stands a Large statue, black, of a Gigantick form and proportion; this answeres the fine green house on y^e other side. This town has many dessenters in it. Thence I went to Woodbridge 7 miles mostly Lanes, Enclosed Countrys. This is a Little Market town but has a great meeting for y^e dessenters. Thence to Wickham 5 mile more but these are all very Long miles.
