the walls grows y^e best maiden haire both white and black, w^{ch} is an herb much esteemed for Coughs and to put into Drinks for consumption. Thence I proceeded on to a Large Court Like the Quaderangle at Christ Church College in Oxford, or Trinity in Cambridge, in the middle of which is a statue of King Charles y^e Second on horseback all of brass, and is railed in w^{th} Iron spikes; round this Court are the Buildings w^{ch} are y^e severall appartments of the Lords of y^e bed Chamber, and the Ladies; also one side is the Lodgings belonging to the princess Ann of Denmarke w^{ch} are all of stone and well built and beautifyed. In the middle you Enter a Large pair of jron gates finely Carv’d into a paved Large space supported w^{th} several rows of Stone Pillars, and ascending up Large Staires, which Enters you into the Queens Guard Chamber hung full of armoury, w^{ch} is so Exactly set, the Pikes set up like Pillars and such distances, y^e muskets Laid a long one above the other y^e boxes for y^e powder, and the Edge of y^e Cornish is Pistols set as thick as they can be set, and above it are drums and helmets and back and breast armour.

I should have noted in my Remarks of the Cerimonies of that order that when any Dies and a Garter Drops they make a solemn offering up of all their Ensignes of honour to y^e Church and then take them down and pay some ffees as well as at their Entrance into it. From this roome I Entred into y^e Chappel under the gallery or Closet the King and Queen sets in at prayers, this was supported by four Brass Gyants or Else painted Like Brass. This seate of y^e Kings Lookes into y^e Chappel, its Crimson velvet, all the jnside and Cannopy w^{th} y^e Cloth w^{ch} hung over it all alike Richly Embroyder’d with Gold fring. This is the house Chappel and is Exceeding beautifull, y^e paintings of the rooffe and the sides which is y^e history of Christs miracles his Life and the good he did in healing all distemper, w^{ch} are described at Large here and Lookes very Lively.
