side a great way, it being spring tide it was a full sea. Just over against it there was a Church w^{ch} was almost sunck into y^e sands being a very sandy place. So I went up pretty high hills and over some heath or Common, on w^{ch} a Great storme of haile and raine met me and drove fiercely on me but y^e wind soone dry’d my Dust Coate. Here I Came by a very good Grove of trees w^{ch} I thought was by some Gentlemans house but found it some ffarmers. The people here are very ill Guides and know but Little from home, only to some market town they frequent, but will be very solicitous to know where you goe and how farre and from whence you Came and where is y^e abode. Then I Came in sight of y^e hill in Cornwall Called y^e Mount, its on a Rock in the sea w^{ch} at y^e flowing tyde is an jsland, but at Low water one Can goe over y^e sands almost just to it, its but a Little market town w^{ch} is about 2 mile from Panzants, and you may walke or Ride to it all on y^e sands when y^e tyde’s out. Its a ffine Rock and very high—severall Little houses for fisher men—in y^e sides of it just by the water. At y^e top is a pretty good house where the Govenour Lives sometymes,—S^r —— Hook his name is—there is a tower on the top on w^{ch} is a fflag. There is a Chaire or throne on the top from whence they Can discover a Great way at sea and here they put up Lights to direct shipps. Pensands is Rightly named being all sands about it—it Lies just as a shore to y^e maine South ocean w^{ch} Comes from y^e Lizard and being on y^e side of a hill w^{th} a high hill all round y^e side to y^e Landward it Lookes soe snugg and warme, and truely it needs shelter haveing the sea on y^e other side and Little or no ffewell—turff and ffurse and fferne. They have Little or noe wood and noe Coale w^{ch} differences it from Darbyshire, otherwise this and to y^e Land’s End is stone and barren as Darbyshire. I was surprised to ffind my supper boyling on a fire allwayes supply’d w^{th} a bush of ffurse and y^t to be y^e only ffewell to dress a joynt of meat and broth, and told them they Could not roast me anything, but they have a Little wood for such occasions but its scarce and dear w^{ch} is a strange thing y^t y^e shipps should not supply them. They told me it must all be brought round the Lands End and since y^e warre they Could not have it. This town is two parishes, one Church in y^e town and a Little Chappell and another Church belonging to y^e other parish w^{ch} is a mile distance. There is alsoe a good meeteing place.
