We enter y^e town of Hull from y^e Southward over two drawbridges and gates, there is the Same Entrance in another part of y^e town by 2 gates and 2 drawbridges from Holderness, and so y^e ditches are round y^e town to y^e Landward, and they Can by them floate y^e grounds for 3 mile round w^{ch} is a good ffortification. The Garrison and plattforme w^{ch} is the ffortification to y^e Sea is in a very uniforme ffigure and were it ffinished is thought it would be the ffinest ffortification that Could be seen—its wall’d and pallisadoed. I walked round it, and viewed it and when I was on y^e water, it seemes to runn a great Length and would require many Soldiers to deffend y^e halfe moons and workes. In the town there is an hospitall y^{ts} Called y^e Trinity house, for Seamens widdows, 30 is their Completm^t, their allowance 16^d p^r weeke and ffewell, they have a little Chapple to it for prayers; over this building is a large roome for Cordage and sailes, where they make them and keep their Stores. In the middle of this roome there hangs a Canoe to y^e Roofe of y^e Roome just bigg Enough for one man to sit in, and the Effigie of a man that was taken w^{th} it, all his Cloths Cap and a Large bag behind him where in his ffish and provision were, these were all made of y^e skin of ffishes and were y^e same w^{ch} he wore when taken, y^e forme of his face is only added and just resemble y^e wild man that they took, for so the Inscription Calls him, or y^e bonny boate man; he was taken by Cap^{tn} Baker and there are his oars and spear y^t was with him—this is all written on y^e boat to perpetuate y^e memory of it; he would not speak any Language or word to them y^t took him nor would he Eate, so in a few dayes died. There is a good large Church in Hull. You Enter a large jsle just in the Middle that runns quite aCross through the Church, and divides the body of the Church w^{th} y^e pulpet and pews on one Side with a partition of wood Carv’d, and on the other side was such another partition for y^e Chancell, and I observ’d there their alter stood tablewise for y^e Comunion just in the middle of y^e Chancell, as it was in the primitive tymes before Popery Came in. There was Severall Little monuments of marble in y^e walls. Ffrom thence to Beverly againe 6 mile w^{ch} is all a flatt, thence to Brance Burton 8 mile, all likewise on a Levell w^{ch} they Call Loughs. Here we Could get no accomodation at a Publick house, it being a Sad poore thatch’d place and only 2 or 3 Sorry Alehouses, no lodgings but at y^e hall house as it was Called Where liv’d a Quaker w^{ch} were Sufficient people. The rooms were good old rooms being y^e Lord of the mannours house—these were but tennants—but did Entertain us kindly, made two good beds for us and also for our Servants, and good bread and Cheese, bacon and Eggs. Thence we went to Agnes-Burton 7 mile, the miles are long and so they are in most part of these Northern County’s. This is the East Rideing of
