Ffrom thence we Came to Dunstable 7 mile over a sad road Called Hockley in y^e Hole, as full of deep slows in y^e winter it must be Empasable. There is a very good pitch’d Causey for foote people and horse, that is raised up high from the Road, and a very steepe Chaulky hill, from whence it has its name—the Chalk hill just as you Enter Dunstable. Its a good town as you shall meete with on the Road, its full of Inns, there is a long Large streete with a great water in the streete—it Looks like a Large pond. Here I went to see two of my Relations Daughters to S^r Charles Woolsley, one marry’d there to a Doctor of physick D^r Marsh, w^{th} whome was a maiden sister my Cos’n Bridget Woolsley. Thence to S^t Albans and so we Enter Hartfordshire 12 mile. There is a very large streete to the Market place, its a pretty Large town takeing all the S^t Juliers and y^t at one End, and y^e other End is S^t Nicholas where is a handsome Church. The great Church w^{ch} is dedicated to S^t Albans is much out of repaire, I see the places in the pavement that was worn like holes for kneeling by the devotes of y^e Religion and his votery’s as they tell you, but the whole Church is so worn away that it mourns for some Charitable person to help repaire it. There are severall good houses about y^e town, one of y^e Earle off Maulberough (now Duke of Marlborough) and one of M^{rs} Gennings y^e Countess Mother. Thence we Came to Barnet 8 mile, w^{ch} is in Middlesex and seemes to be a very sharpe aire; its a Large place and y^e houses are made Commodious to Entertain the Company y^t Comes to drink the water, w^{ch} Certainly if they be at the paines to go once and see would have but Little stomach to drink them. The well is a Large place walled in 8 square, its at Least two yards over and built 2 or 3 yards up from the water and over it is Lattices of wood round to Looke down into it and so Covered like a house above; below are staires down to a doore to go in to dip the water there. I stood at the Lowest step above the water to Look into it, its full of Leaves and Dirt and Every tyme they dip it troubles y^e water, not but what they take up and let stand—Looks Clear but I Could not taste it. Its very deep and not done at the bottom w^{th} a bason as Tunbridg, neither Can you see the bottom, so that it appears not to be a quick spring as Tunbridg or y^e Spaw or Hamstead waters w^{ch} have all fine stone basons in w^{ch} you see the springs bubble up as fast and by a pipe runs off as Clear and fast; it more resembles Epsom for w^{ch} reason I dislike that. Thence to Highgate 6 miles, thence to London 4 miles where I returned and all our Company Blessed be God very well w^{th} out any disaster or trouble in 7 weeks tyme about 635 miles that we went together.
