its like an antique dry Goobery kinda book
there are two books mine has both
one is one mans journey
the next is his wifes journey
(spiritual journey) in christian allegorical flavor (does that make any sense?)
written in the 16th century
here is a couple of paragraphs of
a long poem ,my book begins with, titled
"the authors apology for this book"
When at the first i took my pen in hand
Thus for to write, I did not understand
That I at all should make a little book
In such a mode : nay, I had undertook
To make another,which when almost done,
Before I was aware , I thus begun.

And thus it was : I, writing of the way
And race of saints in this our gospel day
Fell suddenly into an allegory
About their journey and the way to glory
In more than twenty things which I set down.
This done ,I twenty more had in my crown;
And again began to multiply,
Like sparks that from the coals of fire do fly.
Nay, then, thought I, if that you breed so fast,
I'll put you by yourselves,lest you at last
Should prove ad infinitum, and eat out
The book that I already am about.
Well, so I did; but yet I did not think
To show to all the world my pen and ink
In such a mode;I only thought to make
I knew not what: nor did I undertake
Thereby to please my neighbor ; no , not I;
I did it my own self to gratify.
