their delusion and Ignorance and no less Excited my thankfullness for the Grace of God that upheld others from such Errors. I observ’d their prayers were all made on the first person and single, though before the body of people; it seems they allow not of ones being the mouth of y^e Rest in prayer to God tho’ it be in the publick meetings. In this town we had good accomodations and on very Reasonable terms. They drye a large ffish Like Codlings and salt them and when you dress them, water them; then they string them on wire, and so Rost them before the fire and make good sauce for them, they Eate very well and as tender as a fresh Codling and very sweete iff they were well cured when they were first taken, Else they will taste stronge. Thence we went to Maulton 14 miles w^{ch} is a pretty large town built of Stone but poor; there is a large market place and severall great houses of gentlemens round the town. There was one M^r Paumes that marry’d a relation of mine Lord Ewers Coeheiress who is landlady of almost all y^e town. She has a pretty house in the place. There is the ruins of a very great house w^{ch} belonged y^e family but they not agreeing about it Caused y^e defaceing of it. She now makes use of y^e roomes off y^e outbuildings and gate house for weaving and Linning Cloth, haveing set up a manuffactory for Linnen w^{ch} does Employ many poor people. She supply’d me w^{th} very good beer, for y^e Inn had not the best. Thence to York 14 miles, and so to Tadcaster 8 mile, thence to Aberfford 4 miles all on a heavy bottom, their miles are long and I observe the ordinary people both in these parts of Yorkshire and in the northern parts Can scarce tell you how farre it is to the next place unless it be in the great towns, and there in their publick houses, and they tell you its very good yate Instead of Saying it is good way, and they Call their gates yates, and do not Esteem it uphill unless so steep as a house or precipice; they say its good levell gate all along when it maybe there are Severall great hills to pass, but this account did Encrease on us the nearer we Came to Darbyshire, but in Generall they Live much at home and scarce Ever go 2 or 10 mile from thence Especially the women, so may be term’d good housekeepers. To Aberford we Came by severall pretty Seates in view, we Lay at an acquaintances house M^{rs} Hickeringalls: thence we went to Castleton Bridge 5 mile, where was a glass house; we saw them blowing white glass and neale it in a large oven by the heate of y^e ffurnace. All the Country is full of Coale and the pitts are so thick in y^e roade that it is hazardous to travell for strangers.
