"In Maastricht, Skippon describes the St Servatius church as well as the Catholic mass held there. He also comments on the specificity of this church's canons. He then describes the Mariakerk, where he quotes an inscription. He also describes the city hall, comparing it to that of Amsterdam. As he prepares to leave the Netherlands, he decides to make a few remarks on the country, like the inscriptions atop one's door according to one's profession, the cleanliness he observed, the architecture and the peasants coming to the market. He also comments on the population's rudeness, before describing a generic Dutch meal. He notes that the innkeepers' prices vary with the client's social status."
