A13513	Taylor, John, 1580-1653.	Three vveekes, three daies, and three houres obseruations and trauel, from London to Hamburgh in Germanie amongst Iewes and gentiles, with descriptions of townes and towers, castles and cittadels, artificiall gallowses, naturall hangmen: and dedicated for the present, to the absent Odcombian knight errant, Sr. Thomas Coriat. Great Brittaines error, and the worlds mirror. By Iohn Taylor.	1617		.xml	application/xml	11080	192	41	So this terrible shot being discharged ( which in the totall amounted to the sum of sixepence English , ) we departed towards Hamburgh , where by the way I noted some 20. men , women , and children in diuers places of Altonagh , all deformed , some with one eye , some with hare-lips , crooke backt , splay footed , halfe-nozed , or one blemish or other . The Sermon being ended at the English Church , I walked in the afternoone with a friend of mine , ( an Inhabitant of the Towne ) to see and to be seene , where at one of the gates was placed a strong guard of Souldiers with Muskets , Pikes , Halberts , and other warlike accoutrements , I asked the cause , and I was informed it was because of the building of certaine new mounts and Bulwarks , which were partly erected without the old wall : And when I perceiued these fortifications , I was amazed , for it is almost incredible for the number of men and horses that are daily set on worke about it , besides the work it selfe is so great that it is past the credit of Report , and as I suppose will prooue most inexpugnable and inuincible Rampiers to strengthen the Towne on that side against the inuasiue attempts of the greatest Monarke that should assaile them .	cache/A13513.xml	txt/A13513.txt
