by Maser Goodwin and Colonel
Thomlinson of the Council, with
Sir Hardres Waller, his life-guard
and severall Officers of the Army,
began his Progress towards this
Place. We came the last night to
Catherlow; within four miles of
the Town we were received by
Major Bolton with Colonel Prettyes Regiment: a mile
after, we were met by the Colonel himself, with the
Insignia of his Civill Capacity, as Sheriff of the County,
being attended by [unr]o servants in rich livery, as magnificent
as most Sheriffs I have seen in England. By these my
Lord was conducted to Catherlow-Castle, where seemed

Guests. We lodged there that night; the next morning
