but was highly pleased with " the prospect of the whole
Cittie-" which he beheld from one of the towers of Notre
Dame.
On the 6th September, 1620, the travellers again set
out, having hired fresh coaches from Paris to Calais. Two
of their number were left behind, " Signor Dominico with a
feavour and Vincentio to attend him3." Passing through
St Denis, Pierrefitte, St Brice, Moisselles, and Beaumont,
" a faire Towne4," the party reached Pisieux in the evening.
Next day they dined at Beauvais and slept at Le Hamel,
" a poore Towne where wee had as poore entertainement4."
Thence they went on through Poix to Pont Remy, " a
walled Towne, and lay att the Crowne4." On the 9th
September, they breakfasted at Abbeville, dined at Bernay,
"a poore Towne5,'' and, passing through Montreuil and
Neufchatel, reached Boulogne on the 10th September,
1620. Here Mundy's eyes were gladdened by the sight of
the English Channel, " haveing seene noe Sea att all since
our departure from Venice5." At Boulogne the party
lodged " att the Grayhound in the lower Towne5." Thence
they followed the coast, " and in sight of England"," to

At the gates the travellers were disarmed and were warned
not to approach the walls or bulwarks. Within the fortifi-

At Calais the coaches were dismissed and a " Catche
