The Farewell.
To take our leaveof this Loyall City: I desire that some Lucrative Trade may be set up therein, to repair her former losses with advantage. Mean time I rejoyce, that the Archiepiscopat See is restored thereunto, not despairing, but that in due time, (if the Su∣pream Authority adjudge it fit) the Court of the Presidency of the North, may be re-erected therein, presuming the Country will be Eased, and City Inriched thereby, as the Load∣stone which will atract much Company, and by consequence Commodity thereunto.
Let me adde, I am informed, that Sir Thomas Widdrington, a person accomplished in all Arts, (as well as in his own Profession of the Laws,) hath made great Progress in his Exact Description of this City. Nor doe I more congratulate the happiness of York coming under so Able a Pen, then Condole my own Infelicity, whose unsuccessfull atten∣dance hitherto could not compass speech with this worthy Knight. Sure I am when this his work is set forth, then indeed YORK SHALL BE, what? a City most compleatly Illustrated in all the Antiquities and Remarkables thereof.
