Das Rindvieh fand er klein, die Schafe denen in Norfolk ahniich; 

 Rind- und Schalïleisch mager. Hiihner und Hahne kleia; keine Kapau- 

 nen. Die Ferkel, sagt er, werden gar klein verbraucht; die Schinken 

 schmecken thranig, weil die Schweine (in Archangelsk) so viele Fisclie 

 zu fressen bekommen. 



llie Norlhfolk sheepe ther beefes like runts of 4 marks price tber hens and cokes 

 small and no capons. Tlier pidggs they spend wonderfull small the hogs short well 

 trused swine ther bacon tasts mucbe after oylle because of the muche fîshe ther 

 hogs eate. 



Ther land so muche as I bave seene is for ther earable fine gentill land of light 

 mould like Norfolke land without stons ther maner of plowes like oure but not so 

 Deat muche like to Essex ploughes withe wheels but the wheels very evill made. 



The carts be jitlill ons long narrow ons muche like them of Stafordshir the wheels 

 be lowe mad of two peeces of slit fir timber being thik wheare ihe exselltre goeth 

 thorow and so deminishe les till they com to the rime and foilow the cattell withe 

 muche labor. For ther horses they be well sbaped short kryt well joynted only ther 

 tarter horses be longe much like to the Barbery horses but of the best use of any 

 in the knowne world for as I bave heard Captaine Gilbert report that hathe long 

 lived tbeare (ich werde weiterhin zeigen, wer dieser Gilbert war) he had on whiche 

 he bathe rod a wholl day together and at night hathe give him a liltill provender 

 and the next day bathe don the like and so for many dayes and yet he confessethe 

 that he hathe not known seldom on of tire. 



For ther streets they be paved withe goodli timber trees cleft in the middell, for 

 they hâve not the use of sawing in thê land espctiali in that part whear I was nevther 

 the use of planing withe the plane but onlie withe a shave or as some parts of this 

 kingdora calleth it a draing knife and yet yu sball see things don beyond any mans 

 judgment onli withe a hacbet and a chisell and a draing knife and withe muche 

 speed but that I think is by reson of the softnes of ther woods. The yards of ther 

 howses be ail paved withe timber and devided betwin neybor and neyborwith pal- 

 liadowes of yong timber of 12 or 13 foot highe the timber being so big as from 

 post to post they put ihroug a long pièce.. Ihrow a mortis. 



Also the cunttrie howses be built like to those of the townes and pallasadeed 

 whiche be don ail in on forme having ther yard rounded withe cowhouses and 

 places for shepe and horse being ail open to the yardsyde muche lik cloysters béer 

 in Ingland ther ploughes and carts amongst ther cattell to mak partission an over
