A large Ball of Stone shot out of the Cannon called the Queen's Pocket-Pistol, in the late Wars from Cavalier-Hill into this Street; it is yet above a Yard in Circumference. Don. Hen. Pawson Merc. Leod. A curious Spur of Sir Ferd. Legh's, a Colonel for K. Charles I. the Rowell of a dozen Points 3 ½ Inches from the Heel, the whole curiously wrought and gilded. General Fairfax's Sword Hilt, the Guard, or Basket Work inlaid with Silver, found at Nun-Apleton, and given me by Will. Milner Esq; present Lord of that Mannor. Spurs of the like Workmanship. A Protestant Flayle, given me by a Popish Recusant. A small Man of War, which by Means of a covert Conveyance through the Body of the Ship, discharges 16 Guns: It was made by Order of Mr. John Thoresby. A small Cannon.

The Abbot of Kirkstal's Stirrup; it is of Cast Iron, the Sole seven Inches broad; given me by Mr. Pollard of New-Lath near Kirkstal. Spurs: One of Copper gilded, with a remarkable Neck, above six Inches long from the Heel to the Rowel. There is a Danish Spur of the same Length in the Bodleian Repository at Oxford; of which see Mr. Hearn's ingenious Discourse of Antiquities annexed to the first Vol. of Leland's Itinerary, p. 114. A Gingling Spur; it is of Brass, the Neck short, but Rowel very large, three Inches from Point to Point; the Danish Rowel hath six Points, this only five: That of Sir Ferdinando Leghs (of which before) hath twelve. Both these were given me by Mr. Sam. Smith Bell-founder. Another gilt Spur of a different Form from all the rest: A noted Antiquary tells us, that from their gilt Spurs, Knights are stiled Equites Aurati. (Selden's Titles of Honour, p. 437. & p. 474.) Of the Spanish Cavallero's de Espuela d'Orada, or Knights of the Golden Spurs, see the same Author, p. 575. Don. D. Godfr. Haddon. An odd Sort of a jointed Spur, with a six pointed Rowel, but not made to turn round as all the former do; and also those of later Times in-laid with Silver, of which here are two or three Sorts. There is almost as great Variety in the Buckles as in the Rowels, from little more than half an Inch to near three Inches in Breadth.

My honoured and ingenious friend, Mr. Martin Lister of York, takes this to be the bird described in the History of the Carribbee Islands in these words: There are seen near these Islands, and sometimes at a great distance from them in the Sea, certain birds perfectly white, whose Beaks and Feet are as red as Coral. They are somewhat bigger than Crows: They are conceived to be a kind of Herons, because their Tails consist of two long and precious feathers, by which they are distinguished from all other birds frequenting the Sea. This, saith Mr. Lister, can be meant of no other than the Tropic-bird: But then it is wrong described, with red legs, and a perfectly white body.
