At the close of the Relation of a short survey of 26 counties observed in a seven weeks' journey begun on 11 August, 1634, by a Captain, a Lieutenant, and an Ancient, all three of the Military Company in Norwich, the "courteous reader" was invited by an anonymous writer of verse to

Receive it only as a preparation

For a more large and long itineration

and it is not unfitting that in the tercentenary of the fulfilment of this promise, the account of the tour to the south and west of England should be offered to the Royal Historical Society

^{page v note 1} This may be seen not merely in the remarks he makes about the Scots in the tour of 1634, but in the way he avoids Wales, his rather contemptuous language about the Cornishmen (p. 78), and in what seems to us the rather cheap gibe at the expense of the pluralist Dean of Winchester. After a list of his benefices we get the words “£500; a Scot” (p. 44 n.).
