[Footnote 57: During three quarters of a year, beginning from Christmas,
1689, the revenues of the see of Canterbury were received by an officer
appointed by the crown. That officer's accounts are now in the British
Museum. (Lansdowne MSS. 885.) The gross revenue for the three quarters
was not quite four thousand pounds; and the difference between the gross
and the net revenue was evidently something considerable.]

[Footnote 63: See the Itinerarium Angliae, 1675, by John Ogilby,
Cosmographer Royal. He describes great part of the land as wood, fen,
heath on both sides, marsh on both sides. In some of his maps the roads
through enclosed country are marked by lines, and the roads through
unenclosed country by dots. The proportion of unenclosed country, which,
if cultivated, must have been wretchedly cultivated, seems to have been
very great. From Abingdon to Gloucester, for example, a distance of
forty or fifty miles, there was not a single enclosure, and scarcely one
enclosure between Biggleswade and Lincoln.]
