Salisbury; its a square tower—no spire running up from it—but the small ones at Each Corner of y^e tower for ornament. There are two large jsles in y^e middle of the Church w^{ch} leads to open gates of jron barrs and spikes, thence is an ascent of 20 steps, as Winchester Church is; up to y^e Quire, where is a fine Large organ, so is the ffont well Carv’d and painted and Gilded, the bottom is white and grey Marble w^{th} white marble statues round the stem to the ffoote, the top is made in a piramidy Carv’d and painted. The Windows in y^e Quire are most delicately painted as Ever I saw, y^e Curiosity of the worke and Coullours beyond others, but the size of the windows much Inferior being very small for a Church.

At y^e Alter is a Cloth and Coushons of purple ffigured Velvet the books the same, there is a broad tissue border of orrace work gold and silver, and at y^e Edge is a ffine knotted fringe of purple silk and gold.
