There are 4 good monuments all of marble of y^e Wharton ffamily. In the middle of y^e Church is y^e tomb of S^t John with a brass Inscription on y^e pavement, and at a little distance they shew’d us the wearing of y^e pavement with y^e obeisance of his votarys, this being S^t John of Beverly. At the End of y^e Church is y^e ffont, y^e upper part of it, that is the bason was of one Entire marble of a Darke Coullour. Y^e Cover was Carv’d Exactly and of a Piramidy fform and very high. There is another Church Called S^t Mary’s y^t is very large and good I thought that had been the Minster at first Entrance of y^e town; there is the prayers Everyday and its used on all accounts and so the other is neglected. This has a quire in which they were preaching w^n we were there. There is a very good free schoole for boys, they say y^e best in England for Learning and Care w^{ch} makes it fill’d with Gentlemens Sons besides the free Schollars from all parts—provision being very Cheape here. I was offered a large Codffish for a shilling and good Pearch very Cheape, we had Crabbs bigger than my two hands pence apiece w^{ch} would have Cost 6 pence if not a shilling in London and they were very sweete. From thence we went to Hull 6 mile all upon a Caussey secured w^{th} two little rivers running on Each Side w^{ch} is used to flow over their grounds it being a Great fflatt severall miles, and the meadows are Cloth’d w^{th} good Grass by y^t means. The river Hull runns from Beverly at the town End, just by y^e Minster you Cross it, this runns to Hull, y^e town is properly Called so from that River, but its name is Kingston on y^e Hull, being built on y^t River w^{ch} runns into y^e Humber w^{ch} is a noble River—y^e mouth of it opens just ag^{st} this town. The buildings of Hull are very neate good streets, its a good tradeing town by means of this great River Humber y^t Ebbs and flows Like the Sea, and is 3 or 4 mile over at y^e Least; it runns 20 mile hence into y^e Sea and takes in all y^e great Rivers—y^e Trent Ouise, Aire, Don, y^e Derwent and y^e Hull, and Carries much water that a man of warre of all sorts Can Ride. I was on board a new man of warre y^t belonged to the town and Called y^e Kingston, it was but small, well Compact for provision and was built fit for swift saileing. The Humber is very salt, allwayes it rowles and tosses just like y^e Sea, only y^e soile being Clay turnes y^e Water and waves yellow and soe it differs from y^e Sea in Coullour, not Else—its a hazardous water by reason of many shoares y^e tides meete. I was on it a pretty way and it seemes more turbulent than y^e Thames at Gravesend.
