thereto in the leape yeare that shall be about the yeare of Grace
1668: if it shall please God that the world may last so long, and then
may our calender also stand without anie alteration as it dooth
alreadie. By this also it appeareth how the defect of our calender may
be supplied from the creation, wherein the first equinoctiall is séene
higher toward the beginning of March than Cæsars calender now extant
dooth yéeld vnto by seauen daies. For as in Cæsars time the true
equinoctiall was pointed out to happen (as Stadius also noteth) either
vpon or about the sixtéenth or seauentéenth of March, albeit the
manifest apperance thereof was not found vntill the fiue and twentith
of that moneth in their dials or by eie-sight: so at the beginning of
the world the said entrance of the sunne into the ram, must néeds fall
out to be about the twentith or one & twentith of Aprill, as the
calender now standeth, if I faile not in my numbers. Aboue the yeare
we haue no more parts of time, that carie anie seuerall names with
them, except you will affirme the word age to be one, which is taken
for a hundred yeares, and signifieth in English so much as Seculum or
Æuum dooth in Latine; neither is it néedfull to remember that some of
my countrimen doo reckon their times not by years but by summers and
winters, which is verie common among vs. Wherefore to shut vp this
chapiter withall, you shall haue a table of the names of the daies of
the wéeke, after the old Saxon and Scotish maner, which I haue borowed
from amongst our ancient writers, as I haue perused their volumes.
_The present names._

Tuesday. | Thursday. | Saturdaie. | Lords daie.
_The old Saxon names._
Monendeg. | Wodnesdeg. | Frigesdeg. | Sunnandeg.

OF OUR PRINCIPALL FAIRES AND MARKETS.
CHAP. XV.
I haue heretofore said sufficientlie of our faires, in the chapter of
fairs and markets; and now to performe my promise there made, I set
downe here so manie of our faires as I haue found out by mine owne
obseruation, and helpe of others in this behalfe. Certes it is
impossible for me to come by all, sith there is almost no towne in
England, but hath one or more such marts holden yearelie in the same,
although some of them (I must needs confesse) be scarse comparable to
Lowse faire, and little else bought or sold in them more than good
drinke, pies, and some pedlerie trash: wherefore it were no losse if
diuerse of them were abolished. Neither doo I see wherevnto this
number of paltrie fairs tendeth, so much as to the corruption of
youth, who (all other businesse set apart) must néeds repaire vnto
them, whereby they often spend not onelie the weeke daies, but also
the Lords sabbaoth in great vanitie and riot. But such hath béene the
iniquitie of ancient times. God grant therefore that ignorance being
now abolished, and a further insight into things growne into the minds
of magistrates, these old errors may be considered of, and so farre
reformed, as that thereby neither God may be dishonored, nor the
common wealth of our countrie anie thing diminished. In the meane
time, take this table here insuing in stead of a calender of the
greatest, sith that I cannot, or at the least wise care not to come by
the names of the lesse, whose knowledge cannot be so profitable to
them that be farre off, as they are oft preiudiciall to such as dwell
néere hand to the places where they be holden and kept, by pilferers
that resort vnto the same.

OF OUR INNES AND THOROWFAIRES.
CHAP. XVI.
Those townes that we call thorowfaires haue great and sumptuous innes
builded in them, for the receiuing of such trauellers and strangers as
passe to and fro. The manner of harbouring wherein, is not like to
that of some other countries, in which the host or goodman of the
house dooth chalenge a lordlie authoritie ouer his ghests, but cleane
otherwise, sith euerie man may vse his inne as his owne house in
England, and haue for his monie how great or little varietie of
vittels, and what other seruice himselfe shall thinke expedient to
call for. Our innes are also verie well furnished with naperie,
bedding, and tapisserie, especiallie with naperie: for beside the
linnen vsed at the tables, which is commonlie washed dailie, is such
and so much as belongeth vnto the estate and calling of the ghest. Ech
commer is sure to lie in cleane sheets, wherein no man hath béene
lodged since they came from the landresse, or out of the water wherein
they were last washed. If the traueller haue an horsse, his bed dooth
cost him nothing, but if he go on foot he is sure to paie a penie for
the same: but whether he be horsseman or footman if his chamber be
once appointed he may carie the kaie with him, as of his owne house so
long as he lodgeth there. If he loose oughts whilest he abideth in the
inne, the host is bound by a generall custome to restore the damage,
so that there is no greater securitie anie where for trauellers than
in the gretest ins of England. Their horsses in like sort are walked,
dressed and looked vnto by certeine hostelers or hired seruants,
appointed at the charges of the goodman of the house, who in hope of
extraordinarie reward will deale verie diligentlie after outward
appéerance in this their function and calling. Herein neuerthelesse
are manie of them blameworthie, in that they doo not onelie deceiue
the beast oftentimes of his allowance by sundrie meanes, except their
owners looke well to them; but also make such packs with slipper
merchants which hunt after preie (for what place is sure from euill &
wicked persons) that manie an honest man is spoiled of his goods as he
trauelleth to and fro, in which feat also the counsell of the tapsters
or drawers of drinke, and chamberleins is not seldome behind or
wanting. Certes I beleeue not that chapman or traueller in England is
robbed by the waie without the knowledge of some of them, for when he
commeth into the inne, & alighteth from his horsse, the hostler
forthwith is verie busie to take downe his budget or capcase in the
yard from his sadle bow, which he peiseth slilie in his hand to féele
the weight thereof: or if he misse of this pitch, when the ghest hath
taken vp his chamber, the chamberleine that looketh to the making of
the beds, will be sure to remooue it from the place where the owner
hath set it as if it were to set it more conuenientlie some where
else, whereby he getteth an inkling whether it be monie or other short
wares, & therof giueth warning to such od ghests as hant the house and
are of his confederacie, to the vtter vndoing of manie an honest
yeoman as he iournieth by the waie. The tapster in like sort for his
part dooth marke his behauiour, and what plentie of monie he draweth
when he paieth the shot, to the like end: so that it shall be an hard
matter to escape all their subtile practises. Some thinke it a gay
matter to commit their budgets at their comming to the goodman of the
house: but thereby they oft bewraie themselues. For albeit their monie
be safe for the time that it is in his hands (for you shall not heare
that a man is robbed in his inne) yet after their departure the host
can make no warrantise of the same, sith his protection extendeth no
further than the gate of his owne house: and there cannot be a surer
token vnto such as prie and watch for those booties, than to sée anie
ghest deliuer his capcase in such maner. In all our innes we haue
plentie of ale, béere, and sundrie kinds of wine, and such is the
capacitie of some of them that they are able to lodge two hundred or
three hundred persons, and their horsses at ease, & therto with a
verie short warning make such prouision for their diet, as to him that
is vnacquainted withall may seeme to be incredible. Howbeit of all in
England there are no worse ins than in London, and yet manie are there
far better than the best that I haue heard of in anie forren countrie,
if all circumstances be dulie considered. But to leaue this & go in
hand with my purpose. I will here set downe a table of the best
thorowfaires and townes of greatest trauell of England, in some of
which there are twelue or sixtéene such innes at the least, as I
before did speake of. And it is a world to sée how ech owner of them
contendeth with other for goodnesse of interteinement of their ghests,
as about finesse & change of linnen, furniture of bedding, beautie of
roomes, seruice at the table, costlinesse of plate, strength of
drinke, varietie of wines, or well vsing of horsses. Finallie there is
not so much omitted among them as the gorgeousnes of their verie
signes at their doores, wherein some doo consume thirtie or fortie
pounds, a méere vanitie in mine opinion, but so vaine will they néeds
be, and that not onelie to giue some outward token of the inne kéepers
welth, but also to procure good ghests to the frequenting of their
houses in hope there to be well vsed. Lo here the table now at hand,
for more of our innes I shall not néed to speake.
