Composed a Little jsland, for at the End it againe returns into its own united Channell. Those wires makes great falls into y^e water, it Comes w^{th} great violence; here they Catch the Salmon as they Leap w^{th} speares, the first of these Bayes is a very great one, there is one below the bridge w^{ch} must be taken away when the navigation is Compleate for they will need all their water together to fill it to a Depth to Carry the shipps for just by the Bridge is the Key design’d, or y^t w^{ch} now is already they will Enlarge to that place. Just by this key is the Custome house, an open space below w^{th} rows of pillars w^{ch} they Lay in goods just as its unladen out of the shipps in Case of wet. Just by are Severall Little roomes for Land waiters &c, then you ascend up a handsome pair of staires into a Large roome full of Desks and Little partitions for the writers and accountants, it was full of books and files of paper. By it are two other Roomes w^{ch} are used in the same way when there is a great deale of Bussiness. There are severall good Conduites to Supply y^e Citty w^{th} water besides that Cistern, there is alsoe a very fine market Cross. The Cathedrall at Exetter is preserv’d in its outside adornments beyond most I have seen, there remaining more of y^e fine Carv’d worke in stone, the ffigures and nitches full and in proportion, tho’ Indeed I Cannot say it has that great Curiosity of work and variety as the great Church at Wells. Its a Lofty building in y^e Inside, the Largest pair of organs[1] I have Ever seen w^{th} fine Carving of wood w^{ch} runs up a Great height, and made a magnificent appearance. The Quire is very neate, but y^e Bishops seate or throne was Exceeding and very high and y^e Carving very fine and took up a Great Compass full of all variety of ffigures, something Like the worke over y^e arch Bishops throne in S^t Pauls, London, but this was Larger if not so Curious. There was severall good monuments and Effigies of Bishops; there was one of a judge and his Lady that was very Curious, their Garments Embroyder’d all marble and Gilt and painted. There was a very Large good Library in w^{ch} was a press that had an anatomy of a woman. Y^e tower is 167 steps up on which I had a view of y^e whole town w^{ch} is Generally well built. I saw y^e Bishops pallace and Garden, there is a long walke as well as broad, Enclosed w^{th} rows of Lofty trees which made it shady and very pleasant, w^{ch} went along by the Ditch and banck on w^{ch} the town wall stands. There are 5 gates to y^e town, there is alsoe another Long walke within shady trees on y^e other side of the town, w^{ch} Leads to the Grounds where the drying frames are set up for the serges.
