8th (Monday). Father's servants (father having in the garden told me bad

menders of the highway, 2s. Pleasant country to Bedford, where, while
they stay, I rode through the town; and a good country-town; and there,
drinking, 1s. We on to Newport; and there 'light, and I and W. Hewer to
the Church, and there give the boy 1s. So to Buckingham, a good old town.
Here I to see the Church, which very good, and the leads, and a school in
it: did give the sexton's boy 1s. A fair bridge here, with many arches:
vexed at my people's making me lose so much time; reckoning, 13s. 4d.
Mighty pleased with the pleasure of the ground all the day. At night to
Newport Pagnell; and there a good pleasant country-town, but few people in
it. A very fair--and like a Cathedral--Church; and I saw the leads, and a
vault that goes far under ground, and here lay with Betty Turner's
sparrow: the town, and so most of this country, well watered. Lay here
well, and rose next day by four o'clock: few people in the town: and so
away. Reckoning for supper, 19s. 6d.; poor, 6d. Mischance to the coach,
but no time lost.
