THE
PENNYLES
PILGRIMAGE,

OR

The Money-lesse perambulation,

of JOHN TAYLOR, _Alias_
the Kings Majesties
_Water-Poet_.

HOW HE TRAVAILED ON FOOT
from _London_ to _Edenborough_ in _Scotland_, not carrying
any Money to or fro, neither Begging, Borrowing,
or Asking Meate, drinke or
Lodging.

_With his Description of his Entertainment_
in all places of his Journey, and a true Report
of the unmatchable Hunting in the _Brea_
of _Marre_ and _Badenoch_ in
_Scotland_.

With other Observations, some serious and
worthy of Memory, and some merry
and not hurtfull to be Remembred.

_Lastly that (which is Rare in a Travailer)
all is true._

TO THE TRULY
NOBLE AND RIGHT
HONORABLE LORD GEORGE MARQUIS
of Buckingham, Viscount Villiers, Baron of
Whaddon, Justice in Eyre of all his Majesty's
Forests, Parks, and Chases beyond Trent, Master
of the Horse to his Majesty, and one of the Gentlemen
of his Highness Royal Bed-Chamber, Knight
of the most Noble Order of the Garter, and
one of his Majesty's most Honorable
Privy Council of both the
Kingdoms of England
and Scotland.


Right Honorable, and worthy honoured Lord, as in my Travels, I was
entertained, welcomed, and relieved by many Honourable Lords, Worshipful
Knights, Esquires, Gentlemen, and others both in England and Scotland.
So now your Lordship's inclination hath incited, or invited my poor muse
to shelter herself under the shadow of your honorable patronage, not
that there is any worth at all in my sterile invention, but in all
humility I acknowledge that it is only your Lordship's acceptance, that
is able to make this nothing, something, and withal engage me ever.

          Your Honors,

              In all observance,

                    JOHN TAYLOR.

TO ALL MY LOVING ADVENTURERS,
BY WHAT NAME OR TITLE SOEVER,
MY GENERAL SALUTATION.


_Reader, these Travels of mine into_ Scotland, _were not undertaken,
neither in imitation, or emulation of any man, but only devised by
myself, on purpose to make trial of my friends both in this Kingdom of_
England, _and that of_ Scotland, _and because I would be an eye-witness
of divers things which I had heard of that Country; and whereas many
shallow-brained Critics, do lay an aspersion on me, that I was set on by
others, or that I did undergo this project, either in malice, or mockage
of Master_ Benjamin Jonson, _I vow by the faith of a Christian, that
their imaginations are all wide, for he is a gentleman, to whom I am so
much obliged for many undeserved courtesies that I have received from
him, and from others by his favour, that I durst never to be so impudent
or ungrateful, as either to suffer any man's persuasions, or mine own
instigation, to incite me, to make so bad a requital, for so much
goodness formerly received; so much for that, and now Reader, if you
expect_

That I should write of cities' situations,
Or that of countries I should make relations:
Of brooks, crooks, nooks; of rivers, bournes and rills,
Of mountains, fountains, castles, towers and hills,
Of shires, and piers, and memorable things,
Of lives and deaths of great commanding kings,
I touch not those, they not belong to me;
But if such things as these you long to see,
L
