The 6^{th} wonder is at Casleton 4 mile from Elderhole; its a town Lyes at y^e foote of an Exceeding steep hill w^{ch} Could not be descended by foote or horse, but in a Compass and y^t by y^e Roads returning to and agen on y^e side of y^e hill at Least 4 tymes before we Could gaine y^e bottom or top of s^d Hill. This is w^{ch} they Call the Devills Arse a peake, the hill on one End jutting out in two parts and joyns in one at y^e top, this part or Cleft between you Enter a great Cave w^{ch} is very Large, and severall poor Little houses in it built of Stone and thatch’d Like Little Styes, one seemed a Little bigger in which a Gentleman Liv’d and his wife y^t was worth above 100^£ a year w^{ch} he left to his brother, Chooseing rather Like a hermite to Live in this sorry Cell. One M^r Midleton who was w^{th} us s^d he had dined w^{th} them there on Carrots and Herbs, and y^t he was dead and his wife a year or two since. Now none but very poor people Live there w^{ch} makes some small advantage by begging and by Lighting the strangers into the Cave w^{ch} beyond this you Enter so straight a passage. At the mouth you stoop very Low Even upon y^r Breast and Creep in, when you are about a yard or two’s Length you stand upright, it being Lofty in manner of Poole’s Hole only the Rock hangs down in so many places that there is often Cause of Stooping very Low to pass by y^m, and here y^e ground you tread on is all sand and firme, only y^e Rocks do drip water in many places w^{ch} makes it damp and strikes Cold to you, but Excepting the pillars of Rock in some places that hang down y^e most of it is very Lofty and a great Ecchoe like a Church. You pass a good way by y^e Light of many Candles haveing Lost y^e sight of day from y^e first stooping Entrance. At Last you Come to a river they Call it, a great water it is and very deep, they say its about 12 yards over and some do go on it w^{th} a Little boate to y^e other side but I would not venture. There was one Gentlewoman in our Company s^d she had once been Carry’d over on 2 mens shoulders, but they waded above their waste in water, so I would not be for so dangerous I was sure it was a difficult Enterprise, and when you are over y^t side they go over but such places as was pass’d before w^{ch} Leads to another such a water w^{ch} some men have pass’d over and so have gone on to a third water, but there y^e Rocks hung so Low as almost to touch y^e water w^{ch} hindred their proceeding. That water I saw was strange, so deep and large and look’d like a standing water but whether it were or not Could not tell, no Doubt but it has a passage thro’ the veines of y^e Earth or Else would swell so as to Cause a bursting out of y^e Earth—it seemed to have a motion w^{th} it, All these things shewes the great wisdom and power of our blessed Creator to make and maintaine all things within its own Bounds and Limits w^{ch} have a tendency to worke out ruine to y^e whole frame of y^e world if
