The life of a Traueller should be spent either in Reading Meditation Discourse by wch he doth conuerse wth ye Deade Himselfe Liuing
The traueller must not make cōparisoncomparison, especially (wch most are subiect vnto) concerning, and preferring their owne country in euery thing: but hee must yeld a morigetation to, and cōmendation of the places he cōmeth vnto. Courtesie and a is the chiefest congnisance of a gentleman, wch ioyned wth discretion may trauaile wth owtt a passeport: and he is the cheapest friend wch is gayned on by courtesie. If his apparell be fashionable it matters not how plaine it be; it being a ridiculous vanity to go gaudy amongst strangers, it is as if one shold light a candle to the Sunn.
