from place to place, and I Cannot see how two such horses Can pass Each other or Indeed in some places how any horse Can pass by Each other, and yet these are the roads y^t are all here abouts. Some Little Corners may jutt out that one may a Little get out of y^e way of Each other, but this but seldom. Two mile from Plymouth we Come to y^e river Plym just by a Little town all built of stone and y^e tyleing is all flatt w^{ch} with y^e Lime its Cemented, w^{ch} makes it Look white Like snow, and in the sun shineing on the slatt it Glisters. Here I Came in sight on y^e Right hand of a very Large house built all with this sort of stone w^{ch} is a sort of marble. Even all quaryes are, and some ffine marble. This house Look’d very finely in a thicket of trees Like a Grove and was on the side of a hill and Led just down to the head of y^e river Plym w^{ch} is fill’d with y^e tyde from the sea, and here I Cross’d it on a stone bridge. Soe I Rode 2 miles mostly by the river w^{ch} encreases and is a fine broad streame and at y^e town w^{ch} is its mouth it falls into the sea. The sea here runs into severall Creekes, one place it runs up to y^e Dock and Milbrook, another arm of y^e sea goes up to Saltash and Port Eliot. Plymouth is 2 Parishes Called y^e old town and y^e new, the houses all built of this marble and y^e Slatt at the top Lookes Like Lead and glisters in the sun. There are noe great houses in the town, the streetes are good and Clean, there is a great many tho’ some are but narrow, they are mostly inhabitted w^{th} seamen and those w^{ch} have affaires on y^e sea, for here up to the town there is a Depth of water for shipps of y^e first Rate to Ride. Its Great sea and Dangerous by reason of y^e severall poynts of Land between w^{ch} the sea runs up a Great way, and there are severall Little jslands alsoe all w^{ch} beares the severall tydes hard one against y^e other. There are two keyes, the one is a broad space w^{ch} Leads you up into the broad streete and is used in manner of an exchange for the merchants meeteing, for in this streete alsoe is a fine stone Crosse and alsoe a long market house set on stone Pillars. There are severall good Cunduits to Convey the water to the town w^{ch} Conveyance y^e famous S^r Ffrancis Drake (w^{ch} did encompass y^e world in Queen Elizabeths dayes and Landed safe at Plymouth) he gave this to y^e town. There are two Churches in the town but nothing fine. I was in y^e best and saw only King Charles the firsts Picture at Length at prayer just as its Cut on the frontispiece of the jnenicum. This picture was Drawn and given the Church when he was in his troubles, for some piece of service shewn him. The alter stands in the Chancell or Railed place, but it stands table wise the Length and not up against the wall. The ffont was of marble and Indeed soe is all buildings here for their stone is all a sort of Marble, some Coarser some finer. There are 4 Large meetings for the descenters in the town
