From "Clean Contrary Way", a verse says


At Keinton, Brainford, Plymouth, York, and divers Places more,
What Victories we Saints obtain, the like nere seen before.
How often we Prince Rupert kill'd, and bravely wonne the day,
The wicked Cavaliers did run the clean contrary way.


How do you pronounce "Keinton" ? AY or ee?

Also I guess "Brainford" is like 'brain' in your head?
