February xix.
We now leave Leyden, and go back to Rotterdam, where his Excellency is lodged at the Doole for about eight days, and then removes to Winestreet. During this time I become acquainted with Mr. Richard Davis on the Heering vliet, the chief promoter of the new episcopal English church, now building at the upper end of that vliet. I observe whatever is remarkable here, particularly the statue of Erasmus, and the house of his birth; and likewise pay a visit to Mons. Bayle.
