Uppon Soundaye, being crastino of the Twelffth daye, I dyned with Mr. Deane, of Westminster, where I conferred with hym touching Westminster and the Duchie; and then I tooke order for Sowthwarke, Lambeth, and Newyngton, from whence I receyved a shool of xl. roogs, men and women, and above.  I bestowed theym in Bridwell.  I dyd the same after nowne peruse Pooles (St. Paul’s), where I tooke about xxii. cloked roogs, that there used to kepe standing.  I placed theym also in Bridwell.  The next mornyng, being Mundaye, the Mr of the Rolls and the reste tooke order with the constables for a pryvie searche agaynst Thursdaye, at nyght, and to have the offenders brought to the Sessions Hall uppon Frydaye, in the mornyng, where wee the Justices shold mete.  And agaynst the same tyme, my Lo.  Maior and I dyd the lyke in London and Sowthwarke.  The same after nowne, the Masters of Bridwell and I mett; and after every man had been examined, eche one receyved his payment according to his deserts; at whiche tyme the strongest were put to worke, and the others dismissed into theyre countries.  The same daye the Mr of the Savoye was with us, and sayd he was sworne to lodge ‘claudicantes, egrotantes, et peregrinantes;’ and the next morning I sent the constables of the Duchie to the Hospitall, and they brought unto me at Bridwell, vj. tall fellowes, that were draymen unto bruers, and were neither ‘claudicantes, egrotantes, nor peregrinantes.’  The constables, if they might have had theyre owen wills, would have browght us many moor.  The master dyd wryte a very curtese letter unto us to produce theym; and although he wrott charitably unto us, yet were they all soundly paydd, and sent home to theyre masters.  All Tewsdaye, Weddensdaye, and Thursdaye, there cam in nosmbers of roogs:  they were rewarded all according to theyre deserts.—­Uppon Frydaye mornyng, at the Justice Hall, there were brought in above a C. lewd people taken in the pryvie searche.  The Mrs of Bridwell receyved theym, and immediately gave theym punishment.  This Satterdaye, after causes of consciens, herd by my Lord Maior and me, I dyned and went to Polls (St. Paul’s) and in other places, as well within the libertes as elsewhere.  I founde not one rooge styuyng.  Emongst all these thynges, I dyd note that wee had not of London, Westm., nor Sowthwarke, nor yett Midd., nor Surr., above twelve, and those we have taken order for.  The resedew for the most were of Wales, Salop, Cestr., Somerset, Barks, Oxforde, and Essex; and that few or none of theym had been about London above iij. or iiij. mownthes.  I did note also that wee mett not agayne with any, in all our searches, that had receyved punishment.  The chieff nurserie of all these evill people is the Savoye, and the brick-kilnes near Islyngton.  As for the brick-kilnes, we will take suche order that they shall be reformed; and I trust, by yr. good Lordship’s help, the Savoye shall be amended; for surelie, as by experiens I fynd it, the same place, as it is used, is not converted to a good use or purpose.  And this shall suffice for roogs.”—­W.G.C.
