It had four steps, and a stone to cross over when you came to the uppermost.

It was impossible for me to climb this stile because every step was six feet high, and the upper stone above twenty.
I was endeavoring to find some gap in the hedge, when I discovered one of the inhabitants in the next field, advancing towards the stile, of the same size with him whom I saw in the sea pursuing our boat.

He appeared as tall as an ordinary spire steeple, and took about ten yards at every stride, as near as I could guess.

I was struck with the utmost fear and astonishment, and ran to hide myself in the corn, from whence I saw him at the top of the stile, looking back into the next field on the right hand, and heard him call in a voice many degrees louder than a speaking trumpet; but the noise was so high in the air that at first I certainly thought it was thunder.

Whereupon seven monsters, like himself, came towards him with reaping-hooks in their hands, each hook about the largeness of six scythes.
