134shining clearely, and the weather being calme, in

135the euening I tript it to Ingerstone, stealing away

136from those numbers of people that followed mee:

137yet doe I what I could, I had aboue fiftie in the

138company, some of London, the other of the Country

139thereabout, that would needs when they heard my

140Taber, trudge after me through thicke and thin.

143ON Friday morning I set forward towards

144Chelmsford, not hauing past two hundred, be-

145ing the least company that I had in the day time:

146betweene London and that place. Onward I went

147thus easily followed, till I come to Witford-bridge,

148where a number of country people, and many Gen-

150tlemen and Gentlewomen, were gathered together

151to see me. Sir Thomas Mildmay standing at his

152Parke pale, received gently a payre of garters of

153me: gloues, points, and garters, being my ordinary

154marchandize, that I put out to venter for perfor-

155mance of my merry voyage.

156 So much a doe I had to passe by the people at

157Chelmsoord, that it was more than an houre ere I

158could recouer my Inne gate, where I was faine

159to locke my selfe in my Chamber, and pacifie them

160with wordes out of a window insteed of deeds: to

161deale plainely I was so weary, that I could dance

162no more.
