From thence I went to Abington. Abington town seemes a very well built town and the Market Cross is the ffinest in England, its all of free stone and very Lofty; Even ye Isles or Walk below is a Lofty arch on severall Pillars of square Stone and four square Pillars: over it are Large Roomes with handsome windows, above w^{ch} is some Roomes with Windows and Little Like the Theatre att Oxford only this is a Square building and that round, it makes a very ffine appearance. From thence I went to Elsly 8 mile farther, a little Market town, good Inns thence Newbury. Most of this way is much on Downs and good Roads, its 7 mile to Newbury where I called on an old acquaintance Marryed to a tradesman M^r Every, who is so Like the Minister his Uncle y^t was my acquaintance. Here I staid an hour and then proceeded on to Basenstoke 12 long miles, being my ready road to Chichister, and from Basenstoke to Alton 8 mile and from thence to Petersffield and to Nurstead 11 long Miles, this was in Hampshire so was Basenstoke: here I lay at a Relations House M^r Holt that marry’d My Mothers sister. From thence I went to Chichester through a very ffine Parke of the Lord Tankervailes, stately woods and shady tall trees at Least 2 mile, in y^e Middle stands his house w^{ch} is new built, square, 9 windows in y^e ffront and seven in the sides. Brickwork w^{th} free stone coynes and windows, itts in the Midst of fine gardens, Gravell and Grass walks and bowling green, w^{th} breast walls Divideing each from other, and so discovers the whole to view. Att ye Entrance a Large Coart w^{th} Iron gates open w^{ch} Leads to a less, ascending some stepps, ffree stone in a round, thence up More Stepps to a terrass, so to the house; it looks very neate and all orchards and yards convenient. Thence I entered into Sussex and soe Chichester, w^{ch} is 12 miles. This is but a Little Citty Encompass’d with a wall w^{th} 4 gates which Casts the two streetes directly across each other and so Lookes through from Gate to Gate, one Streete does, the other it seemes did so formerly, but in new building of some of their houses they have encroach’d into the Streete and so hinders the through visto. In Midst of these 2 or 4 streetes Divided by the Market place is a very faire Cross of Stone Like a Church or greate arch, its pretty Large and pirramydy form w^{th} severall Carvings. The Cathedrall is pretty Lofty, y^e painting on y^e Roofe in the quire and Isles Looked very ffresh tho’ 300 yeares old, there is in the jsle on y^e roofe y^e phaney of 6 faces joyned and 6 eyes and yet each face has two eyes and in another place the faces turned outward and so the 6 faces are 12 eyes. The Quire is good, there is a fixed pulpit in it overight y^e Bishops seate w^{ch} is not usual, I never saw it before—Usually they have pulpits that are Moveable.
