&29 Eaven was too long a reach. for- man 
> 1 to recover-at one [teppe. And there- 

fore God firit placed him upon the 
\ earth, that he might for a time con- 
= tcmplate upon his inferiour workes, 
\ magnifie in them his Creator : and 
receive here a hope of a fuller bliſle, 
| which by degrees he {hould at laſt 
| enjoy in his place of reſt. For this 
end was the lower world created inthe beginning ont of arude 
maſſe, which before had no forme. And that it might be made 
habitable , the Lord ſeparated the dry land from the waters 
upon the third day. Yet fo as (till they make but one Globe , 
whoſe Center is the ſame with the middle world ; and isthe 
paint and reſt asit were of all heavie bodics, which naturally 
apply themſclyes toit : and thereare ſupported by their owne 
weight and cquall poyze, 

(2) It bath ſecmedincredible (to ſuch as meaſure the won- 
ders of God by mans wiſdome) that this maſſio part of the 
world ſhould ſubſilt by it ſelfe, not borne up by any outward 


_ | prop, incompaſt onely with ſubtile and flzeting ayre, ſuch as 


can neither helpe to ſuſtaine nor reſiſt the fall, could the carth 
be moved from herdue place. But the wonder willceaſe if we 
remember, that the Lord farteth upen the circle of the earth; 11a, 
40. He ſer it upon her foundations,ſo that it ſhall never move. He 
covered it With the deepe 4s with a Garment. The waters would 
Pand above the mountains, but at bierebutke they fled. Yet he ſet 
them a bound Which they ſhould not paſſe,Plal.104. 

( 3 ) Thus ordered by divine providence the Earth and Sea 
compoſe themſelves into a Sphericall figure,asis here deſcribed. 
And is cauſed by the proper inclination of cach part, which be» 
ing heavic, fals from every point of the circumference, andclaps 
about the center:thereſettles as neer 3s it may towards his place 
of reſt, We may illuſtrate both the figure and ſituation by a fa- 


knot tobe knit in the midſt of acord that hath many ends : and 
thoſe to be deliyered to ſundry men of equall ſtrength, tobe 
drawne ſeycrall waicsround from every part, above and below, 


_ | andoneachſide; queſtionleſſe whileſt every man drawesin the | 
bocs of the knots, it muſt needs become round : and whillt they 


continue to plack with equall ſtrength, it mult reſt immoycable 
in the middle b=twixt them: ſince every ſtrength, that would 
deſtroy, hath a ſtrength equall to refiſt it. Soit 1s in the boſome 
of the carth, where every part meets upon cquall priviledges of 
nature 2 nor can any paſſe farther then the center, to deſtroy this 
compacted figure : for it mult meet there with a body that will 


ina body of weight as the carth is. | 

(4) Now though in a Sphere every crofic line which way 
ſoever drawne, if it ranne through the middle, mult needs be 
of equallquantity,and thercforc admitsno difference of length 
or bredth: yet the Geographers for their ſc have conceived 


res, and fo Eaſtward round number the degrees upon the #X- 
quator : The Latitude from the £4wator to cach Pole, and num- 
ber the degrees upon the outward Meridionall circle. This ink- 


that ſhall be hercafter mentioned in my Diſcourle. 


fearncd,tobe 216000. Engliſh miles; which though none ever 
yet ſo paced, as to meaſure them by the foote : yet let not the 
ignorant reje& thisaccount, ſince the rule by which they arc led 
cannot faile. For we ſee by continuall experience, that the 


earth towardshiscurcuitround:and after 360. degrees returneth 
to the ſame pointinreſped of us, ag before it was. Repeat the 


number of ſixtic ſo oft, and you will finde the account juſt. 


And fo by proportion of the Circamference to the Diameter 
(whichis rip/n ſeſq#i ſeptima the ſame which 22.hath to 7.) we 
may judge ikewile of the carths thickneſle to the Center. The 


part of the circle:that in proportion to 216coo. will be 6872. 
halfe the number will reach the middle of the world, and that 
is 3436. In this report both of the quantitic and forme of the 
earth, we mult not require ſuch cxaRneſle as cangot vary ahairs 


be ſufficient, if there be no difference ſenſible to be reckoned in 
ſo great a bulke. For let us rudely hew a ball out of arough 


Or ſuffer a mote to fall upon a Sphare of glafſe it changethnot

oppoſe it. Or ifnot, yet could it not” pafle ſince eyery motion | 
from the middle were toaſcend, which Nature will not permit | 


(and but conceived) a Longitude and: Latitude upon the earth. | 
The Longitude they reckon from the firſt Meridian in the Az: |

(6) When the carth and ſea were thus prepared with a due | 
figure, a juſt quantitic and convenient ſeate bothin reſpeR of | 
the heavens and themſelyes: Nature began (at com of the 
moſt High) touſe herart, and to make it a fit pgs for 
the image of God,for ſo was man created:and ſo indeed was the | 
carth no other then the piture of heaven. .The ground broug 
forth her plants and fruits: the skies were filled with the fowle 
of the ayre:the.waters yeclded their fiſh, and the field their cat- | 
tle. No ſooner hishouſe was thus furniſht, but man entersupon 
his poſſeſſions the ſixth day. And that ſhall beour tra& to find out 
the worlds firſt Inhabitants; where it was peopledin the begiri- 


| were iron,and ont of whoſe hils might be digged braſſe,Deut.8.She 


{ with all kinds ſerviceable for the uſe of man. | 


ning : and how it was over-ſpread with Countries and Nations, 
as now it is. | Wes On 

(7) Inthe firſt age, there was little need ofskill to meaſure 
the whole carth. A gardenplot might ſuffice, and ſo (fora time) 
it did. It was planted'in Eden. But where that was I may not 
perempterily determine, nor indeed dare I be fo curious in the | 
ſearch. The hidden things belong tothe Lord, the revealedto us, 
Deut.39. God himſelfe in the beginning ſet a Cher=bin, and the 
blade ef a ſword ſhaken to keepe the re-entry from our firſt Pa- 
rents: and we may affirme, hath concealed it eyer ſince. Yet to 
fatisfie (in ſome meaſure) ſuch asare moro inquiſitive, I will 
touch at the ſeveral conjeAtures, which have paſſed upon the | 
place of this carthy Paradiſe, Rog. _— Monk of ( befter, 
and with him ob, Treviſa ſct it in the field of Damaſcxe : and 
many other probably (enough) haye thought it was inthe land 
of Canaan. For that in divers places, it isnoted with attributes 
properto the garden of Eden, She was ſeatedin the midſt of Na- 
tions. Ezcl.5.1t was a Land of Wheat, Barley,and Vines Figtrees, 
and Pomegranates,a Land of Olives and Hoy, a land whoſe ſtones 


w4s pleaſant above all Lands,Exck.20. Yet Fraxciſcus Imnine, D. 
Wilet, S. Walt. Raleigh and others,make it apart of Meſopota- | 
mia, North- welt from B«by/ox, about the degree of 78. in Lon» 
gitude, & of Latitude 3 5.where ſtil the Rivers mect mentioned 
in Gewefis. And where Ptolemy hath the Audanites, a corrupt 
name (as is ſuppoſed) from Edes, Certainly it was about the 
middle of the carth, and abounded by a peculiar bleifing of God, 


LA 


( $) But eden ſoone loſt his poſleflion by his difobedi- 
ence, and was caſt out on the Eaſt fide of the Garden where he | 
placed himſelfe. Moſes makes no more particular Relation. 
(ain is ſpecified to haye gone out of the preſence ofthe Lord 
into the Land of Nod, and there built him a Citic, and named it | 
after his ſonnes name HenocH» this was the firſt Citic and was 
ſeated (ſome thinke) -\.out Mount Libenue. As the place;(o the 
time when it was founded is uncertaine : but the common con- | 
j<ure gives1t to be about vwo or three hundred years after the 
Creation, when the world was repleniſhed ; as well it might be 
within that compaſle, if we compare it to our knowne Stories. 
Abraham in 215, ycarshad 600, thouſand of his owne ſtocke, 
inthe blefled line, beſides womcnand children. Andinthisnum- 
ber we omit his other ſced, of whom came twelve Princes: | 


| Queſtionlefle after this proportion the people multiplicdin the [ 


beginning, and ſo for 1656, yeares forward, and that muſt op— 
fill alarge portion of the earth, molt likely thoſe parts of {ſz 
that lye necreſt totheir firſt ſeat. For they wandred no farther 
then neeeffitic ofroome compelled them. | 

| (9) But now as man, fo thefinne of man wasgrowne toa 
height. For this the wrath of God fell upon them ina Flood, 
that deſtroyed the whole carth ſaving cight perſons, Noab and | 
his family, who were commanded into an Arke built by Gods | 
owne dircRion, and is held to have been the pattern for all Ships | 
toall poſteritic. 

(10) When the angerof the Lord was ceaſed, and the wa- 
ters atated, after 150. daycs float the Arke reſted upoa the | 
Mountaines of e Ararat in Armenia. They arc ſuppoſed by molt

moſt parts of the carth, an 
ly thoſe Countries which are moſt toucht in Hiſtories for Bar- 
bariſme and Idolatrie. Ag indeed how could it otherwilc be ? 
ſince himſelfe had loſt his father that ſhould inſtrukthim : and 
therefore could deliver no precepts tohis oildren, but left cye- 
one to his owne inventions. And thoſe that at the confu- 
10n {pred where ever they came this diyerfitic of Cuſtomes 
and Religions, that poſſtfle the world at this day. To him was

(15) America too doubtleſſe had her portion in the diyiſi- 
on, though not ſo ſoone or ſo immediate, but ſeemed rather of 
later timesto have reccived her from the bordering parts 
of Aſia: and thoſe are thought by moſt to have becne firit inha- 
bited by .Jockzan and his thirtecne ſonnes the iſſue of Sem, 
It is ſaid in the text they poſſeſſed the Eaſt part from Aſezz to 
Sephar, Toſephus takes the firſt for a Countrey, and the ſecond 
for a Mountaine in Judi: in ſo much as that he ſtrifly bounds 
out their poſſeſfion from the River ( epheW to Jeria, which is 
now called the Eaft or Portugal Indie, Indeed many of thoſe 
Eaſternc Regions are noted to beare the name as yet of Tocktans 
ſonnes. The Shabeans ſound as if they had Sheba.totheir father. 
And from Havilah is a Countrey in leria. From Sapbira, oſe- 
phus derives Ophir, both of cſpeciall fame for their plentic of 
Gold. But itis Doftor Filets opinion that Ophir was rather the 
{ame Region in the Weſt Indies which isnow called Peru. To 
ſay truth, we have little certaine of the firft Inhabitants which 
wete ſeated in Awerica, or the parts of Xfe necre about her: 
whether they were ſolong ſince knowne I muſt doubt. For the 
beſtowing of Jocktar and bis ſonnes, it was toward the Eaſt 
from 24e/h4 to Sepher : but where thoſe ate Saint Jerome con- 
fcficth himſclfc at a ſtand, Arid for my part I will travell no far- 
therin theſe hidden myſteries, then I find apath beaten before 
me. | | | 

(1 6) This may ſatisfic the ingermons, that I have (as farre 
asI might in this little reome) trad the firſt Nations from their 
firit Founders which they had in the beginniog. But to draw 
the dirc& line of every people mixt as now they are, I think a 
worke impeſlible, To mel am ſurcit is. For beſides our ſeye- 


| rall tranſlation, and promiſcuous commerce, that puzzle us in 


the knowledge ofour ſelycs: we have of late found, and as yet 
arc in ſcarch of anew people, that know not their owne origi- 
nll; nor haye we any meancs to examine it, but conjeRarall, 
ſuch as may faile. To Moſes time the Scripture affordeth usa 
certain truth foras many as he mentioneth. And ſiace we have 
ſome light from ſuch as haye laboured in the ſearch of Antiqui- 


ouſly brancht forth and placedamong the Genealogies before 
our Bible of the laſt tranſlation, | 

(17) Thus farre it was requiſite we ſhould know at large 
the growth of the world from the beginning ; and how t 
whole carth whichat firſt knew but one Land-Lord, bath beene 
ſince rent into ſeverall parcels, which Kings ang Nations call 
their owne, and maintain their claime by force of Armes. This 
lietle compaſſe willnot admita more particular Relation of their 
affaires. For that I muſtreferre my Reader to their Hiſtorians, 
andnow deſcend tothe Geographicall deſcription and diviſion 
of the world,asin after ages it was found by our firſt Artiſts, and 


 [kathbeene ſince more atlarge diſcoyered by the experience of 


our later traycllours. |

(2) How evernow ſhe lieth dejeQted, and groancs under

nence of Rome in glory, as the precedence in time. For to fay 
truth, ſhe wasthe wiſeſt of any people, that were not inlight- 
ned with the knowledge of that great myſtery z ſhe ſet apat- 
terne for goyernment toall her ſucceeding ages; and (in bricte) 
ſhe was the miſtreſſe almoſt of all Sciences 3 ſome there arc 
| Which (ina ſtri& account) will accept none but the Mathema- 
tikesz And yet too (though thoſe without doubt owe their be» 
ing tothe Chaldears and </Egyptians,) ſurc I'am that cyen in 
them, ſhe bred ſome of the moſt fameus Artiſts that ever the 
| wotld had, Exclide may be my proofe. In Philoſophic Socrates, 
Plato, and our great efriſftotle. In Oratory Demoſthenes. /&[- 
chines, and Tſocrates. In Hiſtoriographic Xexophon, Thucidides, 
Þlautarch and Herodotus, Tn Pockic Hefiod, Homer, Sophocles, 
and eAriſtophanes. In State-policy the wiſeſt Solon of Athens, 
and Lycargus of Lacedemonia: In Militaric affaires Themi- 
ſeocles, jades, and the great Alexander, and infinite o- 
thers, which had all paſt their times, -and Greece almoſt ſunke 
in herluſter, before the name of Rome was heard of almoſt in 
hcr Territories. 
(3) She wasat firſt but a ſmall parcell of this quarter, till 
by her prowefſe ſhe grew on upon her neighbouring Coun- 
tries, and enlarged her dominionsthrough all Afacedowia, Pelo- 
ponneſns, Epiruethe e£gean Tlandsand Thrace: and beſides ſent 
forth Colonics into other partsas well of 4fia and Africa as of 
 Emrope, whereof ſome retaine the Greeke names to this day. 
Her ſelfe enjoyed the liberty for a long time which the firſt In- 
habirants tooke tothemſciyes, and. felt not the burden of a tri- 
butary nation;till the time of the Perſian Cyrus. He firſt brought 
herunder. After him Xerxes and other of the Kings of Perſia; 
which held it till it wasrecovered by Philip King of Macedoniaz 
and from him it fell to A/ex«uder the great, who firſt tooke up 
his Greeke Monarchie 2 and at his death in the diviſion delivered 
this with the reſt to his ſucceſſors in the Kingdome of Maceds- 
»ia: and fo it continued untill their laſt Perſexs, in whoſe time 
it fell into the power of the Rowans. 
(4) But when that Empire too had its fate to be ſcveredby 
Conſtantine the great into theEaſt and Welt, the Greeks _= 
put in fora part : and were for a time rulers of the Eaſt, till they 
were ſucceſlively over-runby the Gerbs, Bulgarians, Saracens, 
and Tarks, under whom tothis day, the poore wretches ſuffcr 
continadll ——_—_— the name of Chriſt: and are ſcarce per- 
mitted by that great Tyrant, meanes of learning to know the 
' Name, for which they ſuffer. 
(5) This Religion was firſt called Heles from Hell the ſonne 
of Dencalion and Pyrrba, and in after-times tooke the name of 
Grecia from Grecus the ſonne of Cecrops: and King then of 
that part onely, which was called Attica: For when there were 
many States, which were ordered by their peculiar Princes: 
But when once they were all joyned into a Monarchic , the 
whole retained the name of that part which was accounted 
| moſt famous: and the Inhabitants in theirſtories generally cal- 
Ied Grecians, though ſometimes by the like Synecdoche, 4- 
chei, Achivi, Argivi, Danai, Dolopes, Dores, Dryopes, Hellenes, 
| Jones, OM: ads, and Pelaſgi. |

the Mountaine Hemw, which is reported (though fallly ) tobe 
of ſuch heighth, that from the toppe a man may deſcrie Seas 
foure ſeverall wayes : and on the South the Mediterranean To» 
inns Sas. | 

(7) The Region thus limited was once as fertile, pleaſant, 
and rich, as any part of the whole Continent : Andby reaſon of 


almoſt all Coaſts, ſhe could want no meanes to export her own 
oyerplus, or import forraine merchandize. from all parts of 
the knowne world :' If at this day it appeares not in that luſter 
no marvaile.

(8) And befides the baſe miſuſage of the miſ-beleeving 
Twrke, the very Natives themſclyes are fallen from the noble 


diſpoſition of their predeceflors into an incredible ſottiſhneſle : 
and thoſe which before reckoned the reſt of the earth Barba-| 
rous in compariſon to their polite Common-wealth, arc now! 
themſelyes ſunk below the cnvie of the meaneſt Nation, and be- 
come the moſt miſerable objcR of pity living upon the carth. 
Indeed they may hardly be ſaid tolive, for that they take no far- 
ther care then barely tolive. They are lazy beyond belicfe, and 
ignorant almoſt beyond recovery : for they have now no means 
to bring their children cither to learning or manners. Not an 


favoured , and fo indeed they muſt be: for they uſe them no 
longer as their wives then they continge to their liking : when 
they once fade, they are put tothe houſe-dru 
guage is the ſame as heretofore, but rudely corrupted, though 
(as Maginra reports) it differs not ſo much as the caliar from 
the pure Latine, The haye no habite almoſt proper, but thoſe 
which ſerve the Twrke weare their faſhion : the reſt which are 
under the Venetian, obſerye them in their apparcll : for they are 
flayes to both in their whole courſe. | 

(9) Yet they rctaine ſtill a ſhew of the Chriſtian Religion, 
which was here firſt ſettled by 7 imorhie, to whom Saint Pax/ 
wrote two Epiſtles, and was after inthe Primitive times, pro- 


tion, which are with us received as Authentike Fathers of the.

The government Eccleſiaſtical is in power of foure Patri-

ver Egypt and Arabia: (3) Of lernſalew; and his over the 
Greekes 1n Paleſtine : (4) Ot eAnticch ; and hisover Syria, Ar»

IRTUTE Dxce, comite Fortund is 
B the word of moſt Hiſtorians, upon the 
low birth and quicke growth of the 
ſtate of R 0-4 8. For had not match- 
lefle prowefle , and infallible ſucceſſe 
- Joyned in their full ſtrength to make 
up an Empire for the world to admire: 
P I ſce not how ſhe could in fo few 
yeares raiſe her ſclfe from ſo ſmall 
grounds, to ſo high apitch of luſtre, as ſet the whole carth ata 
gaze, and found us all buſinefſe cnough for a time, to dotJlittle 
eſe but obſerve her ations. Looke backe to Romulus her 
Founder ; yon ſhall finde him no better man, then the baſe 
of alicentious Yeftall ; his father not truly known to this da 
ſimply ſurmiſed to be Hers the god of Warre. His mother 
Rhea, burnt by law for that very fat, in which ſhe conceived 
him;and himſclfe an op hrnay ee with hisbrother Rhewws, 
tobo torne by the wild Beaſts. Little hope we ſce left, for ſuch 
from their loynes, had not Fortaxe lulled 


a Nation to ſpring 
them in her ownc lappe | 
into the hands of one Fawſftulws the Kings Shepheard, when they 


' were thas found, the beſt Writers afford them no better Nurſe, 


then the Shepheards wife, a knowne Strumpet, who for her in- 
fatiate luſt was called Lupa, and might perbaps occaſion the fa- 
ble af the She-Wolfe : She ſuckled them withnochoycer milke 
brats; nor were they bred 
under Faxſtulns,to any better fortunc then the Sheep-hook: yet 
no ſooner the yoakers were ſtart up to the knowledge of their 
true birth,but they ſtript themſclycs out of their diſguiſe, reven- 
ged their mothers death upon their aſurping e/Emilins 
Sylvine, reſtored the Latine Kingdome to the rightfull Nawi- 
ror, and ereted anew Empire for their owne polteritie. 

(2) Theſe were the progenie of e/£neas, who arrived here 
from the Tr05ave warre, and made love to Levinia,daughter to 


and T #rnw the Rutilian,grew 


faire lookes, which he could not, nor did he peaccably enjoy 
till he had yanquiſhed his corrivall, and then he ſoone faſtned 


dredcighty ſeyen. It would not be much to our purpoſe, to 


lead you downe [teppe by ſteppe through the ſucceſſion, till we 


come to Romnlrs, All before him, were before this Empire had 


inbricfc, we may recount here,that he was the 17.from Axes, 
and founded Rowe inthe yeare 3198. 

(3) The plot-forme was firſt caſt in a figure of a quadrangle 
upon the wons Palatinma, for the other ſixe noted hils were not 
then takenin, but added, in after ages, by their ſeverall Kings. 


very high, when Rhemw could skip themover, in contempt of 


give name to thisnew building, | | 
+ (4) Romulus then is their firſt King, and takes upon him 
the government of ſuch diſcontented arid maſterlefle young 
Shephcards, as he had raked together to people his Common- 
wealth za cruc ſo ſcorned of their neighbours, that their daugh- 
tersdenicd to joyne in marriage, with ſuch arcfuſe of men: ſo 
that by this means this up-ſtart Nation was like to fink in the 
birth, for meere want of iflus to continue their ſucceſſion : And 
without doubt themſelves had ſeene their laſt man borne, had 
not their own wit beſted them more, then the womens love. 
For when they ſaw their worth was not ſufficient to wooe fair- 
y with effec, they proclaimed a day for ſolemne ſports, which 
they preſumed (and rightly too) would call in their borderers 
of both ſex:and for that purpoſe had made proviſion of ſtrength 
to force the women to their luſt, whom they could not intice to 
their lawfull embraces. The plot held,and the Sabines bearo the 
name to have ſuffred moſt in that brutiſh treacherie ; yet others 
(it ſeemes) had their part too in the injuric, and joyntly beſet 
them round with ſtrong enemics, which the Romares notwith- 
ſtanding ſhook off with that caſe and undaunted courage, that 
the reſt were gladatlaſt to yeeld them truce for their own quiet, 
and aſſiſt them too in their inſuing Conqueſts. 

(5) The Citie at this time was not aboyc two miles in cir- 


| cuit; the Inhabitants got much above the proportion of that 


, and delivered them by meere chance, | 


Latinus King of the Lawrentini.The great combate betwixt him | 
upon no other terms then for her | 


bimſelfe inthe right to that Kingdome, and not long after poſ- | 
ſelt it, about the yeare of rin two thouſand ſeven hun» | 


being ; and therefore out-reach the limme of my ſtory: yet this | 


It was begunne (it ſeemes) but ſlight, and the wals raiſed not |

im were to waſh: Andthe tho Dit 
receiveth three Crownes, beforghois full 
jeftic ofthe Empire. The firſt is of Silyer, for Germany. 


| cond of Iron, for Lombardy. And the third of Gold, for the Em- 


pire : thelaſt is ſet onat Rowe. . For tothis day it pretends to the 


| name of the Rewave Empire,and gives the title of { «ſar, or Ro- 


$047:3 1mperis Imper ator. 


(x2) The firſt which injoyed the inſtitution of Pope Gregory 


before him, was our Richard Earlc of Cornwall, 
the third, King of England. Since it hath 
continued firme in this courſe of EleRion, howſoever not with 
that liberty as was intended., For commonly the _—_ in 
being, while he bath his power aboat him, and can (atleaſt ) in- 
treat, if not command the SubjzRs of the Empire, promile a 
choice of the Rex Rowanorum, who is no other then a ſucceſſor 
deſigned to rule after his dcath, or reſignation. And by this 
meanes it hath a long time continued in the houſe of e Auſtria 
without any intermiſſion. | | 
(13) Thus we ſee much plotting, great ſtate, many ceremo- 
niestothe making upof an Emperour: and yet when it is well 
weighed, itislittle better then a bare title. For howſoever theſe 
outward obſeryances of the German Princes make ſhew of an 
humble ſubje&ion tothe Emperour : yet when it comes to trial, 
he hath very little to doc in their Goyeraments: But cachof 
them takes upon him as a free and abſolute Commander in his 
owne Countrey :-permitteth or ſupprefſeth the Religion, which 
hecitherlikes or diſlikes z makes and ates Lawes at plea- 
ſarc, ſtamps Coynraiſcth Souldiers, and ſometimes againſt their 
preat Maſter, as the Dake of Saxonic againſt Charles the fifth, 
and at this day divers others in defence of the Prince Palutine. 
For ofthis quality and power there are many Dukes, Marquelſcs, 
Counts,&c.. beſides 64. Franc Cities, which make onely ſome 


his Parliaments; and (they ſay) are bound to furniſh him at need 
with 3842.horic (among them) and 16200. foot.

T heDelcription of the Kingdom of Bohemia, 


N our Deſcription of Germany, werec- 
koned Bohemia but as a Provinco a- 
mong the reſt z and therefore ſhe was 
mentioned there with no more folem- 
nitic, then the other parts were. We 

purpoſe here to declare it an intire 

| F Kingdome of it ſelfe z which beſides 

her own compaſſe(as ſhe is moſt com- 

.*. monly limited by Geographers) hath 

under-ſubjeQs, Dukedomes and Marquiſates, ſuch as doc her 

homage, and make her well worthy of a particular Hiſtorie, then 
we had before roome for. 

(2 ) The ancient Inhabitant of theſe parts was the Bemornn 
magna gens, as Prolemic cals it ; and placeth it omewhat South, 
toward Danxbiu unde r Sunaſybva After them, the Boiia peo- 
ple of Gallia Lugdunenſis, which bad been before conquered by 
Ceſar (faith Bnadu) and packt over the Alpes to ſock them a 
new ſcat in 7r«ly. Bat when they found the Rowanes too hotte 
for their abode there, they were forced to trudge farther, and to 


| paſſe the River Rheneinto Germanyas Strabo witneſſeth, where 


they found them a fit place tolurk in, compaſſed withalarge 
Wood called the Sylva Hercinia : and like they joyned 
in with the Bemi,to make up the name of Boheme. But neither 
here did they enjoy their peace long: for they were in time nef- 
ſled out by a petent people of Swevra, called Marcomenni : and 
they again had the like meaſure fromthe Slevoriensa barbarous 
crue, which came in upon them, under the conduR of an cxiled 
murderer of Croatia, one Zgchins about the yeare five hundred 
and fiftic. ; 

(3) Fromthat time there hath beene no generall expulſion, 
but the preſent Bobemiaxs are the progeny of thoſe Sclavenians, 
whole vety language and cuſtomes are in uſe among them at 
this day. Doubtleſic it was at firſt arude Common-wealth, that 


* | had no other Goyernours, but ſo ungoyerned a multitude z for 


fo they continued above an hundred years after Zeehine. But 
when they had for a time endured the miſery of ſuch a confuſi- 
on, they were content to agree upon ſome one for their Prince, 
that might rule them : and the firſt which they -cleAed was Cro- 
cx, a man of great cteeme among them for his wiſdome and 
goodneſle. I, : 

(4)Till the time of Vratiſiaws it bad the title of a Dukedome 
onely. He was the firft King, and was created by Hemry the 
fourth of Germany anne onc thouſand cighty ſixe. Yet after that 

ine, for the ſucceſſion of fixe Princes, it was governed by 


| Dukes. For the ſecond King was Vladiſlare the third, crowned 


by Fredericke the Em ,in the ycare one thouſand one bun- 
dred fiftie nine : and the third, Primeſlaws, Crowned by the 
Emperour Philip,one thouſand one hundred ninetic nine: after 
fixe other Dukes from his Predecefſor Vladiſiars the third. It 
hath beene now long ſince fully ſettled intoa Kingdome: and 
;sthe title of the right Noble Frederike Count EleQtor Palatine 
of the Rhene, and husband to the illuſtrious Elizaberb, Daugh» 
ter to our late Soveraigne King I au 8s $. They were both 
Crowned at Prague in the yeare,one thouſand (ixe hundred and 
ninetecne: but fave becne enforced everſince, to maintaine 
their right by continual warres, againſt Ferdinand the ſecond, 
who by vertue of an adoption, which declared him ſucceflor to 
Matthias ,layes claime tothe Crowne of Bobemia.But the caſe 
was before decided in their third Vladiſiavs, who though as 
deeply intereſſed to the Kingdome, as Ferdinand could bes yet 
for that he had paſt no legall cieRion, according to their Cu- 
ſtomes and Priviledges, he was depoſcd by the States,and V/- 
darilaus chole in his roome. 

(s) There remains no great difficultie,copcerning the name, 
It appeares ſufficiently, toproceed either from her firſt people, 


or firſt Prince, who (as ſome report) was one Boemme. And tis 


worth obſcrving ,. that though this Land hath in ſundry ages, 
beene fo often ranſackt, and poficſt by ſtrangers, and Tyrants 
yet in hername ſhe conſtantly preſerves the memorie onely of 
her firſt Natives, and hath not ſuff:red that change, as we have 


done, from e-M!bion to Britaine,trom Britaine to England, And 


ti. A

ſoindeedit is with almoſt all which have beene equally fubjeR 
to the like Invaſion. 

(6) The ſcituation of this Kingdome is almoſt in the mid-

before the States were at difference among themiclves. Theon- 
vis among others is of note for the ſtronger Boſtonacum,for the 


that Forreſt is reckoned into thisÞ 
Eaſt-(ide,was in Ceſerstime 5 00.miles compaſſe,now about go. 
Neet to eLrdrnpa is the SpaW bathes,of great fame for the Cure 
of ſundry diſcaſes : And hath oftentimes given our falſe Exglif 
a protence to leaye their Countrey forſooth for Phyfick : when 
they have noather excuſe to get free, and joyn themſclves with 
the Rowiſh C atholikes. Maginns tockons into this Region 1168. 
Villages, beſides Caſtles, with ſeyen Earledomes, many other 
petty Governments, In the South is the Datchy of Boviles, 
belonging to a Peere of France. (2) Limbarg, on the North-calt 
of Latzenburg,divides the government bet wixt her own Duke, 
and the Biſhopof Laicke, who commands the Welterne TraQ, 
as much as containes 24. walled Townes, and 1 800. Villages, 
and hath under him 5 2. Baronies. Zaicke the chiefe City of the 
Biſhoprick is an Vniyerſitic, memorable for this one ſtory, a- 
bove any other in Chriſtendome: That at one time there ſtudied 
9. Kings ſonnes, 24 Dnkes ſonnes, 29. Earles ſonnes,&c. The 
Dukes part in the Eaſt is not of that fam, cither for multi- 
tude of Towns and Villages, or command of under-territorics. 
In the yeare 1293. the heires Male were cxtind, and by that 
means it fell to the Duke of Brabans. The whole Region is ex+ 
ceeding fertile, and affords almolt all neceflarics except Wine ; 
Among other Commoditicg, it abounds with a kinde of ſtone, 


| of excellent uſe in Phyſick, called Lapis calewinani. The princi- 


pall Citic Liwbwrg ſtands upoa the River eſe. ( 3) Brabaxt on 
the North of ZL-w#wrg,which commonly is ſuppoſed to have the 
name from Braxchlant,ag if a barren ſoile : but it is otherwiſe re» 


viri gravem ſenelintem ſentire videantisr : And that me=thinkes 
ſhould argue plenty. Her chicfe Citics arc Loraine an Vaiverſi- 
tic, which containes 20. Colledges, and among the reſt a Se» 
minary for Englifs leſuites. Bruxeks, and this is the Dukes ſeat, 
pe, 4 with a double wall, and is adorned with very cle 
gant buildings. Bergen ap Sowe,which is yet freſh in the memo- 
ric and mouthes, ſince the ficge 1622. Bodve whole people are 
noted to have preſerved the antique valour of their Predeceflors, 
more then any other ofthe Provinces. Zreds was the place of the 
Prince of Orange, got from the Spaniard by a deſperate policy of 
a ſmall number of Gentlemen, which ventured themſelyes into 
the Catle,being conveyed in a Boat covered with turves: when 
they were paſt recoile,they were forced to ſet their beſt ſtrength 
forward,as wel for their lives as the viRory;zand were bleſt with 
a ſucceflce beyond hope, They maſtered the Caſtle, and the reſt 


a long ſiege, where our Engliſh got honour though not conqueſt, 
under the conduct of our noble and yzliant Earle of Oxford, And 
laſtly, within the compaſle of this D. is contained. 

(13) The Marquiſate of the holy Empire, whoſe chicfe Ci- 
tic 1s Antwerpe, a Towne heretofore of infinite Trading: had 
two Marts cvcry yearc, qualificd with an extraordinary privi- 
ledge, that during the time no man might be arreſted, nor his 
goods ſcazedzand queſtionleſle this invited many which werein 
dcbt,and could not have the freedome of traffique elſe-where. 

_ (14) The Earledomegare (1) Flanders : Furſt indeed as well 


of the Netherlands : and the Prince writes himſelfe Comes Dei 
gratia. It is the very Northweſt traR of this Belgia: and is divi» 


| ded in Temtenicam, Imperatoriam, and Gallicam. The firſt is the 


Flanaria Flandricans,properly F landers.The principal Citics are 
Gandadi Gaunt, the birth-place of our /ohy ule of Laxcafter : 
She is ſevered by the Rivers Shead, andlets into 26.11ands, and 
hath paſſage from one to another by 98. bridges. Her wallsare 


_ | ſeven miles in compaſſe, Her other Townes are Burgies and 


Graveling : Her Ports Dunkerke, Scluſe, Newport, Offend,chc. 
The two laſt notable, one for a pitcht ficld, es = tor along

parcell, and borders upon Brabart, is called the Earledome cf 
Hulit, which is the chiefe Citic within her Territorics : Gallic 
Flanariais not of any large extent, but very fertile and pleaſant. 
Her chicftowns are Lilaor Lilſe, DuacumDoway an Vaiyer-

N our Diviſion of Ewrope, we placed 
$ her Regions ag they lay from the firſt 
Meridian of Longitude in the Azores,. 
. and ſoon towards Af Eaſtward. We 
will not here yary the courſe which 
was there propoſed ; and that gave 
Spaine the precedency, as lying moſt 
Weltwardinto the' Arlantichg Occan. 
RF | And indeed ſhe pats forward as well 
her tearmes of Antiquitic, as order of place. For if her 
ea may be heard, ſhe derivesher being from T#bal, the grand- 
child of Nob, and would wow of the - wbiaags «ry p - 
cond world, Likely enough thoſe parts might be inhabited by 
his Prog<nie, but ; doubt. whether ſo ſoone after the Flood, as 
. | himſelfe lived, and as ome would have it, who ſuppoſe that he 
then kept Cattell, and namedthe Province Taraconenſs, from 
| the Hebrew Trace, a poſſeſſion of Heards. This and other the 
like improbable Relations paſſe of her originall. Which as we 
may not accept for truths, ſo we baye no roome here to confute 
them forlics. We muſt be content rather to omit thoſe former 
ages, Which gironeno lightbutbytablee; and begin with the af- 
| fairesof Speive, which come w1 a5" eof our known 
and approved Stories. Asfor the exploits of Hereales, of Gerion, 
and Cacxs, andthereſt ; queſtionlefle, they had ſome ground 
from truthit ſelfe, if we knew how to ſearch it forthz and here 
was their reſidence, men twelve hundred yeares by. compute 
before the Rowan or Carthaginiens cnjoyedit, But by reaſon 
that the paſſage of thoſe times, was delivered onely in vaine 
fitions, we can warrant nothing for certaine till the Syrians 
| there planted themſelves in the Ile of Gedes: andot them little, 
till the Carthaginians were called in toaid themagaialt the di- 
ſturbance of ill neighbours, whenonce they were mingled with 
ſo flouriſhing a Nation, they wanted not Writers to record their 
aQtions, and ſundry turnes of Fortune. 

(2) The next Inhabitants thereof Spaixe after the Syrians, 
| and indeed the firſt which afford usany Story worth obſerving, 
were the Carthaginians:and the firſt cauſe of their entrance, was 
to defend the Ilanders of Cales: but when they had once got 
firme footing, and ſucked the ſweetnefle, they were not tobe 
| removed by the caſie tearme of friendſhip x but there kept hold, 
till a people ſtronger then-themſclyes diſpoſſefſed them. The 
attempt was made by Scipio and the Roman forces ; but they 
withſtood their affault with fo reſolved a courage, and fo 
ſtrong a hand , that it might oft-times be queſtioned Utrer po- 
pruins  alteri eſſet paritwris ? 'and fo held play almoſt 200, 
yeares, and conld not be fully ſubdued into the forme of a Pro- 


held to it till Honorize, 

(3) About his ſixt yeare was there a ſecond Inyafion made 
by the Yadeles, and ſoone after by the Gothes, which bare ſway 
for aboye 300, yeares. The laſt King was Rodoricus, who loſt 
both himſelfe and Kingdome for a rape committed upon the 
Daughter of Julian a noble Gentleman, and at that time Embaſ- 
fadour with the Afoores in Africa, Whenthe Father had under- 
ſtoodof his Daughters unworthy injurie, he brought backe his 


within the memory of ſome which yet live. 

(4) This change of State was before prophecied,and concea- 
ledinalarge Cheſt within apart of the Palace, which both the 
laſt King ard his Predeceflors were forewarned not to diſcover, 


and when he had centred, there appeared nothing but the Por» 
traQtures of Armed Aſoores, with apreſage annexed, that when 
| that part of the Palace ſhould be forced open, ſuch encmies 
ſhould ruine Spine, It isnow at laſt but one people, but yet re- 
tains the mixture of thoſe many Nations which have heretofore 
poſleſt it, Goths, Sarazens,and Tews,who were partly baniſht his

of the State of Spaine it es not, from whence ſhe deriyos 
her ſoverall names of Iberia, Heſperia, 8 Hifpania.lt ſecmes they 
are more ancient then the entrance of the Carthaginians, and

BY thoritie , if Ttake into this Deſcripti- 
on, not onely that part which is now 
more peculiarly knowne by the name 
of Hungarie ; but the whole Countrey 
likewiſe of Davis, which was once 
one with it, though time and fortune 
have at laſt ſeycred them : ſo that cach 
hath now its owne Princes, Laws;Cu-

the ſtart in power 2 for ſhe is the mother of many German 
Princes, and hath drawne the Crowne Imperiall almoſt into

isplayed,and ſome deither won or lolt by cither partie. 
(4) The firſt Inhabitants of this Countrey were the Panxo 
nes: thoſe were expulled by the Gothes : And when'the Gorhes 
wentinto 7taly, it wasleft to the poſſeſſion of the Hwmns, a Scy 
thian people, which lived before neere the Palms Mer: and 
when they ſaw their time, changed their ſeat : and about the 
yeare three hundred ſeventie-three, brake by great multitudes 
into theſe parts of Ewrepe, which they held till they were dif- 
placed by the Lowbards. Theſe laſt were the Winnils, which li- 
yedin Scandia or Scardinaria, a Northerne Peninſula, betwixt 


ver-ran many Countries, cre they could find any one to their 
content 3 Amobg the reſt the Pannovia had her courſe: and here

was ruinated by Charlemain, |

breake his Forces, and returne victors from the battaile, About

he was victorious over molt parts of the then known world, 
and bethought himſelfe of enlarging his Territoricsin Afaand 
Africa: But that deſigne was drowned in wine and luſt ; which

i | | [Y the Sca, upon the North of Geranene, 
as [taly on the South s the manner of 
bothis not much unlike : and the glory 
of this heretofore was not inferiour. 
For how ever in this latter ages, the 
pride of Reme hath pranked iter Ter- 
ritorics in gay apparrell: yet the day 
was, when both ſhe and they ſtooped 
to the Inhabitants of this Countrey , though then knowne by 
another name of Cimbria Cherſoneſus. Three Rowmane Conſuls, 
| Manilins, Sillanns, and Cepiofell by their ſword : and the Em- 
pirc it ſelfe(it ſeems) was in a ſhrewd hazzard,when their owne 
Hiſtorian reports,that 4am efſet de imperio, niſi its ſecnlo Ma- 
rine contigiſſet. | 
(:) flopecola wore then and had beene from their begin- 
{ ning the Cimbri, a Progenic of Gower, firſt ſonne of Tapherh g 
whobeforc they remoyed into this quarter of the world, dwelt 
in theinner Af4,ncer the ſtraight which paſſeth from the Pox- 
| 19 Eminuc to the Palus Mactinthere we yet find the Boſphe- 
rus Cimmericu in re which took name from the C:immes- 
rii:for ſo they were at large,and by contradtion Cimbri. 
* (3) From thence they were in time diſturbed by the Scyths 
avs, and forced to ſeek them a new ſeat for their habitation, 
*74 which (after long trayell) here they found fitteſt for their ſe» 
.- curitic,asbeing a Peninſula fenced almoſt round with Seas, from 
= 1 | | the force of all forreigne Enemics : Yet here too they met at laſt 
with a worſe danger, which they could lefle refit. Forthe 
maine Oceas brake into a great part of the Countrey 3 diſplaced 
many of their Calonics, and ſent them Petitioners to Rowe for 
| a dwelling within her Dominions : but their entreatie being 
| | with GmenegleRdenicd ;.t kindled the ſparkes, which tothis 
time had laine (as it were) dead in a dejeRed Nation, and now 
they brake outinto flames, which Rirred them to require that 
by force of Armcs, which they could not requeſt by ſubmiſſive 
Oratorie. 
(4) Hence grew their firſt quarrell with the Rewens, which 
they put on with that courage, and ſucceflc, that they were im- 
boldened at laſt to aſſault the very Citic, with ſo ſtrong Forces, 
that the glory of it began to ſhake, and had ſhattered topieces, 
had not the victo'y followed rather the fortune of one Marine 
| then the yalour of the whole Rowan Legions: and that too (as 
ſomerelate it) was bought of his heathcaiſh gods at a deare rate, 
by the bloudy facrifice of his owne Daughter. The great and | 
=— molt memorable Encounter was fixe hundred and forty yeares 
_-< after the Citie was built, about an hundred and eleven before 
Wo Chriſt. And then indeed they reccived (in a manner) a fatall 
Cruſh, which quelled them for the preſent z yet not ſo, but that 
in after ages, they recovered ſtrength and fame: ſpread their vi- 
Rorics over the moſt part of Ewrope : and left their name (for 
many yearcs ſince that) in /taly it ſelke. 

(5) For without doubt thoſe (immer; mentioned by Sera- | 
bo, which lived on the North fide of the Appenwnine Mountaines 
ncere Boiannm, were of this ſtock, and of that note, as the gave 
occaſion for many Proverbs and Fadles to both Greek and La- 
tine Poets, It wasa people which belike ſcldome ſaw Sunne, 
but lurked for the molt part under ground, lived upon theft, and 
iſſued forth onely in the night, a ſcaſon moſt fit for deeds of 
Darkenefſe : and ſo was their whole courſe, which cauſcd our 
well known Adage of tenebre Cinmmerie pro denſeſſima caligine. 
Their horrid dennes, and diſmall Rivers, which ranne | Ann 
place of their abode, bred atlength aterror in the filly Heath 
and was eſteemed by them, the paffago down to thoir Elixinm.

our other Deſcriptions, it mult give place here to the third Inya-

here in the Conqueſt of England, (tart ont of thoſe pctty Iles in

peare when we come toher diviſion) and that onely which in 

our latter times is called Iwitlavd and runs Northward in forme 
almoſt of a Hounds tongue into the Balticke Ocean, . 
(7) The Dawes (like enough) wete at firſt one Nation with 
the Cimbri, but being together expulſed by the Seythians from 
cheir native ſoyle,they were ſeverally diſperſed, though not at 
any great diſtance. Theſe ſctled themſelves in the Northerne

Peninſula: forit imports no more ard mis x5p07 xg} viee'd terri

fame. T anrice Cherſoneſus was not far diſtant from the 

of their firſt aboad ; Peloponneſi well known in Greece, 
hracia,Cherſoneſu in Thrace: and Anrea (berſoneſas in India, 
($) But the Danes it ſeemes ſuffered ſome change as well in 
their name as fortunes. Sxao Grammaticws givesit toone Das 
the ſonne of Hwniblas, which was their firſt Governour in their 
new Common-wealth. But thisis controlled by Becanx ((aith 
Lnade ) who renders another Erymon, how likely I leave to 
thoſe, which can beſt judge by their skill-in the D aviſh Lan» 
guage. The Cimbri (faith he) when they were growa to great 
multitudes, bethought themſclyes of ſeverall names to diſtin» 
guiſh their Colonies: Each following their owne conccit beſt 
to _ the qualitic, in which they moſt gloried. Among the 
reſt ſome there were which affeQing at lealt the opinion of a 
valiant people, ſuch as ſcorned riches without honour, honour 
without victory, and victory without the blood of their Enc- 
mics: aſſumed their name from that creature, which Nature

» HE Kingdome of Polaxd borders up- 
cn the Eaſt fide of Germarie, and in» 
deed as farre as the River Yiſtnla, it 
is accounted a part of the Empire: and 
vſeth the fame ſpeech, Religions and 
Cuſtomes as the other Territorics, ad- 
; mitting onely that variety, which all of 
them have among themſelves 2 and 
muſt needs be found in ſolargecom- 
paſſe, governed by ſo many ſeyerall free Princes. Beyond the 
River as it ſhrinkes from the ſcat of Chriſtianity, ſo it begins to 
degeneratcintoa kind of Heatheniſh rudenefle, which {ayours 
of their predeceſſors. 
| (2) ForthisTraftisapart of Sarwatia Exropea,and the firſt 
Inhabitants were the Sawrematre a Scythian people, as well for 
barbariſme as by name. It was next poſſeſt by the Vandalls, an 
ative Nation, of whom we have had ſome inkling at leaſt, al- 
moſt in every place which we have paſt. For they have ſpread 
their viorics through Exrepe,and baye left either name or ſtory 
| behind them in Spaine, France, Italy, Germanie, Thrace, and 
where not? Their moſt received pedegree is from Yandale 

(whom Tacitw remembers) the T»ſcexe King,of the progenic 
of T iſco. firſt foander of the Ger manes, Yet Munſter inhis Col- 
mographie mentions a pretty conjeRure of ſome well wilhers, 
it cemes (perhaps to their owne Countrey ) which give the 
originall of their name of Faxdalls toons Yaxda, a Queene of 
Poland, | 
(3) Bricfly,were the Vandals natiyes or were they inyaders 
here they were found,and cjcedby the Sclavonians, and theſe 
were the third Inhabitants of Polonia, She was over runne at 
the ſame time, and had the ſame fortune with Bohemia : they 
were bothloſt to their old Lords, and divided betwixt the two 
runagate brothers of Croatia, Zechius and Zechins, who being 
forced (for a murdcr ) out of their own ſoyle, brought on their 
crue into theſe parts, about the yeare 550. and here bave con- 
tinued (in their polteritie) to this day. They are as yet r:mem- 
bred in the very names of the people. For the Bohemians 10 
their proper language call themſelves Zeehians, and in the grex- 
Polandthere is (till extant a Territorie, knowne by the title of 
Regnum Lechitorum. 
(1) Her Ermon ſignifieth no other, then the ſight of the 
Count:ey,as the Sclavoriars firſt deſcried it. Forit was a Cham- 
| pianor plaine ficld, and ſq is Pole-land interpreted out of the 
S$clavoniſh tongue. It was before called Sarmatia.and the people 
Sauromate,ab oculis Lacertarum,Lizzards eyes, eavpd; and wyces 
apropertic (it ſcemgs) which gave name to all her Nations. For 
this was divided from another Sarmatiaby the River Tanas : 
that on the one ſide was Afatica, for the molt part wilde, hea- 
theniſh Idolaters,andin the farthef parts of Scyrhia ſome Ardpar 
Tv y9}: this other is Exropea, which being joyned with ſome 
parts of Germany Welt=ward to the River Odera,Silefia,8 A10- 
ravia make up the Kingdome of Po/onia,as it is here deſcribed. 

(5) The bounds then of this great Region are onthe Welt 
the Kiver Odtra, Sileſia, and Moravia : on the Eaſt the River 
Neiper which Prolemy calleth Boriſthenes: on the North Pome- 
rania,or rather the Be/tick, Ocean, and on the South R»ſſia and 
the Mountains of Hungarie, And if we will with {aginus take 
in the out Provinces which belong to this government,we muſt 
reach Eaſt-ward the T artars and 3ſwſcovites, that live necre on 
the other ſide of Beriſthenes : and North-caſtward part of Aſoſ- 
covia, Southward the Hungarian Mounta ines, and the Vallacci : 
in ſo much that the compaſſe would come little ſhort of all 
Spaine,as it lyeth beyond the Pyrenees. 

(6) The principall Rivers of Poland are (1) Viſixla, it hath 


| dome from Hwngarie, and it ſclfc runsinto the Balticke, but by 
the way takes in diversother itreames, on the Welt out of the 
Poloxia Germanica, and on the Eaſt out of the Sarwatica, It is 
navigable 400. miles. (-) Neifter which hath ber fountaines 
inthe hills of Hungarie,and glides Eaſtward,onthe South of Po- 


| deliajinto the Pont Enxinus.(z) Neipher or Boriſthenes,which

bounds the Kingdome on the Eaſt isnavigable 600. ſtadia, and 
runnes from North to South, into the Pontxs Exxinus, where 
there is naturally caſt up plenty of Salt, which needs no art to 


not farre diſtant from the Citic Oleska, 

River Yiſtuls; with many others of leflernote, though all con- 
duce to make the Countrey in ſome kinds very fertile. 

(7) Forit abounds with moſt ſorts of Corne and Pulſe, ſuf- 


into other Countries. Many of her nei egions 

not well miſſ her plenty, as well of Whcate, Ric, and Barley, 
as Beeves and other Cattle, which give ſupply to Sexonie, and 
the reſt of Germaxy necre hand, which hardly yceld cnough for 
their Inhabitants out of their owneſtore. The blefling of this 
fertility cannot come alonez but maſt needs bring with it the 
lkerichesof Butter, Cheeſe, Milke, Waxe, Honey, and what 
ever clſc hath its birth from the ground, It is wel-nigh paſt be- 
lcefe which isreported of their multitudes of Bees,luch as yeeld 
more Hony and Warxe, then the people can find roome for ; 
They necd here neither art, nor care of the good huſwife to or- 
der their hives, but naturally are their owne Gardians, and pro» 
vide fo diligently for their owne ſafety within the bulks of trees, 
that they eaſily pafſe over the hardeſt Winter without hurt.. 
There is ſtore of game, both for hunting, fowling, and fiſhing, 
In her Foreſts is ſeene a kind of wilde Horſe with an horne 
like an Harts,and the Alces,&c. Laſtly,among other com- 
moditics, the worſt isnot ker Pitchand Roſin, which yecld her 
a large annuall reyenew. 

(8) Her chicfe wants proceed from her bleake ſituation : 
For it is a plaine Countrey,and ſhadowed for the moſt part with 
Woods; very cold, and by that mcanes (he hath little Oyle, and 
ſcarce Grapes cnough to tcach them the uſe of Wine. A great 
defe& amongſt ſo goed drinkers: for they haye aname for that 
cquall with any part of Germany : and that I thinke givesno 
ground to the: reſt of Exrope : But they make a ſhift to finde 
themſclycs play witha kind of Metheglin. Gold or Silycr here 
is not much, unlefle about Cracovia: and (as Aſaginue faith ) 
in Savdomica,whcre there arc likewiſe ſome Mines fonnd of the 
Lapis Laxxln, perte Leade, and Iron, and pieces of Topper. 
Neere the Towns of NechoW,and Palukie, there is extant a kind 
of miracle, a certain carth naturally formed upinto pots, which if 
you take forth and dry, they diff:r very little by ſight from fach 
as are made by hand, and ſerve aptly for the fame uſe. 

(9) The Inhabitants though they had but a wild beginning, 
yet inthe more civill parts are of a gentle betaviour $0 ſtran» 
gers, and not injurious one to the other. Theft is a vice not yet 
knowne to the Polaxds : For they dare trayaile alonelong jour- 
neys inthe depth of Winter, with one poore one to draw their 
ſledge in the night times,8&c. and this with more ſecuritie and 
lefle danger, then we may walke in our open ſtreets in the dusk 
of Evening. Queſtionlefle, this ſpeciall praftiſe of honeltic in 
that kind, above other Nations, procceds from an inbred deſire 
which they generally have to be in imploymont z for they are 
yery induſtrious in their ſeverall faculties. Thoſe which pretend 
to Learning, addi themſelyes much to the ſtudy of ES. 
The Latine is familiar to the Gentry as their owne ; (and as 
Maginus reports) is uſed in ſome Townes by rich and poore as 
their proper ſpeech. They are prodigall both in diet and appa- 


, | rell, give much entertainment, and keepe alarge retinue of ſer- 


vants 3 Inbricfe, they are as equalltothemſelyes, as they arc 
courteous toothersz For they will not be oppreſled by the grea» 
teſt Potentate cither home-borne or forreigne. They arc very ya» 
liant, and 'mecte their enemy with anundaunted courage , be 
they never ſo much oyer-borne either by number or ſtrength. 
The truth is, no Peaſant is ſuffered tobeare armes: onely their 
Nobilitie and Gentry of place intheir Common-wealth : fach 
as warre,.not for othersonely, and upon conſtraint ; but have

[The Deſcription of the Kin gdome of eny 


mm ——— 


w HE whole traQ of ef which lyes | 
| ſevered from Perſiaby the River /»- 
du on the Weſt, is well knowne by 
one generall name of the Eaſt [nave : 
and that againe is divided, by the 0- 
ther famous River Ganges, into [#- 
—dia intra Gangem, the part which 
lookes toward Exrepe, and is conje» 
Aured by molt, to be the ſarme with 


the land of Evilaht and India extra Gangem to the very Eaſt, 
ſome thinke it was that, which of old was called Seria : both 
have now other names impoſed by the Inhabitants : the firſt 7#- 
deftand; this other Tame, T angiv, Mangi, or Macys, and 
laſtly Sinarum Regio, (hina. 

(2) This Kingdome then is the utmoſt bounds Eaſt ward of 
the whol: Continent, and therefore lies farthelt remote from 
Chriſtendome ; the miltrefſe of arts, and example of civilitic to 


all the other parts of the world : yet doe the Chinoyſe much ex- | 


ceede us, for ample Citics, ingenious artificers, and multitude 
of Inhabitants; which (me thinkes) pleads fairely for her an- 
tiquitie,though give not full credit tothoſe, which ſettle here 
the ſonnesof Tocktan, much lefle to their owne records, which 
reckon two hundred threeſcore and two Kings, in almoſt a 
continued ſucceſſion to this day ; and number from their firſt, 
above foure thouſand yeares. For to make this good they muſt 
cither yaric from us intheir meaſure of times, as we from the 
Germanes in length of miles; clſc we muſt commita foule er- 
rour,to look beyond the Flood for their originall: ſince that time, 
it is not yet above three thouſand nine bundred twenty z and 
ſurely I thinke they were not exempted from the generall de> 
luge, no mote then from the ſinnes of the whole carth. 

(3) But if this conjeQure of different account be not appro- 
yed, the ſoleciſme mult reſt (for —_ their owne ignorant 
vain-glory, which in their tories, tran | de! 

bability z upon hope (perhaps) that no other Nation could con- 
trowle them z for inthoſe firſt agethey bad little converſe, un- 
lefle with men more barbarous then themſalyes; ſuch as could 
not dcliyer their at to poſteriticzand therefore being left whol- 


of the main truth, makesthem oft times to treſpaſle upon Chro- 
nologie, and forge ſtorics ſo unlikely, that the whole may be 
juſtly ſuſpeRed. | < 
(4) Their firſt King they name //itei, and report bim to 
havercigned an hundred yeares3 bis ſucceſfours went on with- 
out breach or conqueſt to their two hundred fourtic ſecond 
Prince, but were then for a while, cut off by the T artariavs. 
This change was foretold to Frfar, the laſt China King of the 
firſt race; and the Prophecy laid it upon one, which ſhould 
have an hundred eyes: and ſo had Chiſavbaas the Invader, if 
you will allow bis name to make up the miracle: For the very 
wordin their e ſignificsnoother then an hundred eyes 3 
A poore couſcnage of the Devill; but ſerved the turne firſt to 
dazle them with a ſtrange whey + and then to keepe up his 
credit in the performance, ith the ſimple idolaters. After nine 
T artarian Princes,it was againe recovered to the ſtate, in which 
it now ſtands, by the prowefle of one Gowbne their 251, King. 

(5) This briefe account of their beginning and progreſle, is 
moro then I can warrant for undoabted truth. The molt part 
was paſt, cre they were a people knowne to the Exropears : for 
Prolemy himſclte ſcarce reached ſo far toward the Ealt: or if it 
be the fame, with his Sinarum Regio, (which yct ſome doubt) 
yet (it ſcemes) he knew little more of it, then the barename ; 
we muſt be content to paſſc over _ ages untoucht,and break 
abruptly, into our owne times and (tories, which docafford 
us more certaintic by the rclation of later trayailors, ſome of our 
owne Nation.

(0s "4 grace and mercy todeliver this Nation 
S/a Wa <4) from that (inke of errours, and ſaperſti- 

YE3S tious praftiſes wherewith the face of 

J; Chriltendome was overſpread z and 
A\ Ez hath cauſed the truthof Picty and Re» 
Y3) A ligionto ſhine amongſt us, through the 
AYSSgST cotta Miniſtry of his Words Info 
much that there isno Nation inthe world, to whom the grace 
of God hath (in theſe latter times) more abounded, nor where 
true Religion hath beene ſogenerally imbracedand maintained, 
| as in this Kingdome: So hath he likewiſe delivered usfrom 
many eminent dangers, and cvill praftiſes at home and abroad z 
hath bleſſed us with much peace and proſperitic « and moreover, 
hath honoured us with ſuch notable favours, that the fame of the 
worthy exploits, and noble attempts of this Nation by Seaand 
by Land, hath rcfounded to the glory of his Name, eyentothe 
fartheſt parts of the carth z And Ibeſecch God (inthe Name of 
him in whom alone he is welbplcaſed) till to continue this 
his goodnefſe towardsus, although in theſe times we have jalt 
cauſe tofeare the contrary. 
A ſ theſc latter ſort of Benefits which God hath youch- 
fafed tothis Nation, I meane that magnanimitic and courage, 
and his divine affiſtance in the proſecution of ſo many notable 
aRions, may worthily, in my Judgement (though ſlcighted at 
by ſome) bereckoned that noble enterpriſe, of planting V1 r- 
-GINIA with Chriſtian Religion, and Engliſh people. And as 
he hath manifeſted his ſuccour and providence many waics, be» 
yond expetation, for the advancement of this worke, ſo nota 
little in the diſcovery of the Sowwer 1/ands: for, (toomit other 
reaſons) theſe are as it were the Key, opening apaſlage, and ma- 
king the way more fafe to many parts of thisnew World, and 
_ to Virginia: ſo that if they had been diſcovered andin» 
ited by any ſuch as would oppoſe the planting of Virginia: 
It hadproyeda matter ſo difficult and dangerous, that in all like» 
lihood it bad been relinquiſhed ere this time ; of theſc I have 
exhibited this deſcription, with the relation following. 

"Theſe Ilands, formerly called the Bermndes, now the Som- 
mer lands, ſhunned by Travellers, as-moſt dangerous, and ſcl- 
dome ſecne by any, except againlt their wills ; reputed tobe ra- 
ther a hold and habitation of Devils, then any fit place for men to 
abide in, were diſcoveredin the yearc 1 609. in manner follow- 
ing, There was at that time cight Ships ſent by the Adventurers 


to Virginia, amopglt which one of the beſt and ſtrongeſt was | 


called the Sea-vetwre, in burden neere 300.tunnes In this, were 
theirchiefe Commanders, Sir Thowas Gates, & Sir George Som * 
mers,and with them about 150. perſons. And upon the ag, of 
Inly the ſame yeare, being at Sea, this Ship called the See-ver- 
tare, was by a fierce andterrible ſtorme: ſeparated from the reſt 
of the Fleet : and withall ſo ſhaken and torne by violence of 
the weather,that ſhe ſprung alcake: whereat the water came 1n 
ſo faſt, that in ſhort time it was ſeven or eight foot deepe 
within the hold. Whercupon, for ſafetic of their ſhippe and 
lives,they fellto pumping, and bayling out the water withbuc- 
kets; and continued their labour for three dayes, and as many 


availed nothing, the water in this ſpace rather increaſing, then 
any whit abatiog ; Now hopeleſle of ſafety,tyred and out-worne 
withlabour, watching, and diſcomfort, and dcefirous to refreſh 
their enfecbled ſpirits witheſome little reſt before their death z 
they reſolved to ceaſe their labour, and ſo by conſequence per» 
mit their ſhip tolinke. Sir George Sommers ſitting day and night 
all this while upon the Poope, to dire& the Shippe as evenly as 
might be, leſt ſhe ſhould be over-turned'or ſwallowed of the 
waves, eſpicd land and thereupon called the Company together, 
and encouraged them again to pumping, and calting out water, 
by which meancs they kept her up from ſinking, and by Gods 
providence eſcaped the rocks, tillt 


extremitie of the ſtorme being then well qualified,they had time 
to landall their men, moſt part of their proviſion, and te fave 
much of their ſhips tackling and Iron-worke before ſhe ſanke. 
And thus it pleaſed God, by this evill, tobring to lighta farre 
| greater good, agreeable to that ſaying, 


ue latet, ing; bontsceſſat nonco grits rebus,

* Having thus cſcaped the eminent danger of preſent death, 
andall fafely arrived : We may well conceive their joy to have 
beene great, eſpecially when they found there, in great abun»

of the ſhoare, where ſhe ſtuck faſt betweene two rocks, The | 


nor any kinde of cattell, except thoſe Hogs, and a few wilde 
Cats; which inlikelihood had ſwoom a-ſhore ont of ſome Ship 
calt away uponthe coaſt, and there encreaſed. They abode there 
nine moneths, during which time, with help of ſuch things as 


Countrey, they built of Cedar, and Tigged fit for the Sea, two 
Veſſels, a Ship and a Pinnace, and upon the tenth of 24ay 1610. 
departed toward Virginia, leaving onely two menbehind them, 
and carrying with them ſtore of proviſion for the reliefe of the 
people there. Vpon the 24. of X4ay, they arrived fafcly there, 
and ſhortly after ſome of themreturned to the Sommer 1lands 
againe for a further ſupply, in the ſame Ship which they had for- 


three men, that ſtayed volantarily, who ſhortly after found in 
Somerfet Iland, which is = of Sexdys Tribe, a very great trea- 
ſure in Amber. greece,to the valuc of nine or ten t d 
ſterling : there hath alſo beene found fince divers times of the 
beſt ſort. | 
Thisnew diſcoyery of the Sommer 1lands, being thus made 
knowne in England, to the Virginian Co » by theſe men 
which returned, they ſold to ſome hundred and twenty perſons 
of the ſame Compary,who obtained a Charter from his Majeſty, 
and ſohold it. And toward the latter end of April, 1612, ſent 
thither a ſhip called the Plowgh, with ſome ſixty perſons, to in- 
habite,appointing Goyernour one Maſter Richard oore, a man 
enious and 3 yang wa ge died in ” mo Rawhejes 
voyage to Guiana, (a place as appeare our moderne 
Geographers, very rich and ſpatious). But, as I fay, he arrived 
there about the beginning of 1a, and found the foreſaid three 
men that ſtayed volnntarily, very well. Maſter 4foore ſpent 
three yeares of his goyernment for the molt part in fortifyi

In his time, the Lord ſent upon the Countrey a very grieyous 
ſcourge and puniſament, threatning the utter Arkoy'4 5-040

at that time : The cauſcs and occaſions of it Incednot name,

were about 600.perſons, though ſhortly after much diminiſhed. 
I will oncly ſhew the thing it ſelfe, which wasa wonderfull an- 
noyance by filly Rats: Theſe Rats comming at the firſt out

began to grow, and digge it up againe. If by diligent watching 
any of it were preſerved till it eame to caring, it ſhould then ye- 
ry hardly ſcape them. Yea, it wasa difficult matter after we had 


place toplace , 


| it inqur houſes, to ſave it from them, for they became noyſome 


even to the perſons of men. We uſed all diligence for the de- 
ſtroying of them, nouriſhing many Cats, wilde and tame, for 
that purpoſe z we uſed Rats-bane, and many times ſet fire on

om Kings Caſtle, and as we ſuppoſed one of them 


denly ſurpriſed

ſaved. 

Abcut this time,or immediately before,came thither a com- 
pany of Ravens, which continued with us all the time of this 
mortalitic,and then d 
nor ſince;(fofarre 2s 1 hearc)any more of them ſeene there. And 
this, with ſome other reaſons of more moment, moyed tnany 
to thinke that there were ſome other llands neare the Somner- 
lands betweene Virginiaand itzand Maſter 3ſoore(in his time, 
with ſome others of us ) went forth ina Boat ſofarre as then we 
could conyenicntly, of ſe to diſcover it : Since then, it 
hath been endeyoured by others, and is yet(asT heare) tobe fur-

would I not diſ-animate any from this enterpriſe, for if they 
finde any, thcir labours will be well recompenced ; and though 


that the paſſage toand from 75rginia would be more fafc and 
calic. | 
But to returne from whence we have digrefied; The cx- 
tremitie of our diſtrefle beganne to abate alittle before Maſter 
. Moores time of Government was expired, parry by ſupplies 
outof England, of vituall and proviſion for , 
by that relt and libertie we then obtained, the Countr g

pleaſed God (by what meancs it is not well knowne) to take 
chem away, in ſo much that the wilde Cats and many Dogges 
which lived on them were famiſhed, and many of them leaying 
the woods,camedowne to the houſes,and to ſnch places where 
they nſe to garbiſh their Fiſh, and became tame, Some have 
attributed this deſtruQion of them to the encreaſe of wild Cats, 
but that is not likely they ſhould be fo ſuddenly encreaſed ra- 
ther at that time, then in the foure yeares before. And the 
chiefe occaſion of this ſuppoſition was becauſe | 
| companiesof them leaye the Woods, and ſhew themſclyes for 
_ f wantoffood. Others have ſuppoſed it to come to paſſe by the 
coldneſſe of this. weather, which notwithſtanding is noyer fo 
great there, as withius in Aferch, nor ſcarce asit is in Aprill, ex- 
ceptitbe in the windezbeſides;the Rats wantednot feathers of 
young Birds and Chic 


Palmeto Moſſe (as we callt) to baild cs warme neſts 


| | out of the winde asuſually they did.Neither doth it appeare that 


'thecold was ſo mortall to them, ſecing they would ordinarily 
ſwim from 'place toplace, and be very fat cyen in the midſt of 
Winter. It remaincth then, thatas we know God doth ſome» 
timescffe& his will without ſubordinate and ſecondary conſes, 
and ſometimes againſt them z So we need not doubt but that 
in the ſpeedy encreaſc and ſpreading of theſe Vermine ; as allo, 
in the preſervation of ſo many of us by fuch weake meanes as 
we thenenjoyed, and eſpecially in the-ſodain remoyall of this 
orcat annoyance, there was joynced with, and: befides the ordi- 
wy and manifeſt meanes,. a more immediate and ſecret worke 
of God. | 

Now to procecd, Maſter Moores time of government be- 
ing expired, Captaine Txcker ſucceeded, arriving there about 
mid-May, 1616. who likewiſe governed (according tothe cu- 
ſtome) three yeares;z which time he ſpent, for the moſt part, 
in hasbanding the Countrey , planting and nouriſhing all ſuch 
things as were found either fit for Trade, or for the ſultentation 
and uſe of the Inhabitants , whercin he travclled with much 
diligence and good ſuccefſe, ſending to ſome parts of the Indies 
for Plants and Fruits: he alſo added to the fortifications, and 
made ſome incloſures. Inhistime, viz. in the yeare 1619. was 
peed proviſion, with men of $kill, for the killing of 
Whales ; but they arrived there too late, to wit, about the midt 
of e4prill, fo that before they could make ready their Shallops, 
and fit themſclves, the principall ſeafon for Whale-fiſhing was 
| paſt ; Forthe Whales come thither in Fanwarie,and depart again 

toward the latter end of May : yet they (truck ſome, but found

by one that drave to ſhoare on Sommer ſer Tland,in Sandys Tribe ; 
and by another that we found not farre from thence dead upon a | 
Rock. 

I alſo received by Captaine T *cker, direions from the Ad- 
yenturers to-divide the Countrey, and te Aſſigne to cach Ad- 
venturer his ſhares or portion of land 3 and withall, a deſcription, 
with notes touching the manner bow they would bave it 


| done, as they had formerly determined bylot. Which thing I 


did with all faithfulnefſe and diligence, the manner of it doth 
above appeare, and is more largely manifeſted in a Booke of 
the Survey of the Countrey, exhibited to the Right Honoura- 


| ble bis Majeſties Councell, and the Court of; Adventurers for 


theſe parts. And then began this, which was before asit were | 
an unſetled and confuſed Chaos (I mcane as touching a Plan- 
tation, for conſidered onely as a Regiment it wasotherwile ) 
to receive a convenient diſpoſition, forme, and order, and to 
become "indeed a Plantation ; for though the Countrey was 
ſmall, yet they could not have beene conveniently diſpoſed 
and well ſetled, without a true deſcription and Survey made of 
it; and againe every man being ſetled where he might con- 
ſtantly abide, they knew their buſinefſe, and fitted their houſe- 
hold ingly. They built for themſelves and their families, 
not Tentgor Cabins, but more ſubſtantiall houſes z they cleared 
their grounds, and planted not onely ſuch thingsas would yceld 
them. their fruits in a yearc, or halfe a yeare 2 but all ſuch. 
too, as Would afford them profit after certaine yeares, 8c. So 
that in ſhort time after, even before the expiration of Captaine 
T «chgrs government, the Countroy began to aſpire and necrly 
to approach unto that happineſſe and proſperitie wherein now 
it flouriſheth. For may it not juſtly be accounted happineſſo 
and profperitic, for men to live where they enjoy the meancs 
of true religion and falyation, to wit, the ſincere miniltery of

ſent eſtate of that Colony, whatſoever ſome malicioully mind- 
ed, or to cvill ends ſuborned, may-fay to the contrary, ſo that 
ae oy ſeeme tobe areſtauration of that golden age fo much 
en of. - | 
The Governour now there reſident, is one Captaine Butler, 
for Captaine T wcker departing thencoin December,1618. left in 
his place,Captaine Kendal, (whoalſo was one that ſupplicd the 
fame place inthe interim, betweene Maſter Moores time and 
Captaine Tackers) and bath ſpent ſome nine or ten years in the 
Countrey. But in the yeare 1619. about Midſommer, the Ad- 
yenturers ſent thither as Governour for three yeares,(accordi 
to the cuſtomc) the ſaid Captaine Butler and foure Ships, wit 


| ſome five hundred perſons, there being at that time in the Coun» 


trey onely five hundred more : for by tlic fpace of foure yearcs, 

to wit, during the later part of Maſter Moores government,and 

all the time of Captaine 7 uckers, they had ſent few thicher, be- 

ing almoſt hopcleſſe of the place, by reaſon of the Rats z But 

fince therc haye beene ſent many Companies more then haye 

come to my knowledge. In ſo much that Tunderſtand the Coune 1 
trey is now almoſt fully Planted and Inhabited. |.

knowledge and remembrancc)cvery thing of moſt note and im- 
portance that hath befallen in the firſt diſcovery and planting of 
theſe Tlands, till this ; je py I haye labourcd to contra&k my 
ſelte,yet have exceeded my extended limits. Now I mult ſpeake 
ſomething of the Countrey it ſelfe-: which conliſteth ofacom-

that the like fruit ts alſo growing in Yirgivia, I hays ſcene of the leaves of 
this tree, being ated ay prickles, hanged ronnd about the wals of a 
Storehouſe to preſerve the Corne that was therein from the Rats : which 
after a moneth or twodropping downe, have ag grown gronce: 
other treesby the walsfide. The leaves are full of Inyce, cleare and damm 
as the whites of Egges. Now touching the dying of Silke or Scatlet with 
this fruit Thave known no tryall to be made: but this light being given, 
I doubt not but ſome will exerciſe their skill that wayes: Two things are 
herein requiſite,firſt that it may have hisperfeR maturity andripeneſlc;and 
then that it be uſed in ſach manner, and with ſuch materials as are conyeni- | 
cat: whether Arſnick, Allome, Tartar, alias Argoll, Wormeſeed, the ſcum 
of Sope,the water of Bran, or what clſe : and yet the diverſity of 
Regions may make all fruſtrate. For I have found by experience ſetting the 
ſceds here in Eglexd, the Plant to degenerate fo much that it could ſcarce 
be known from a Thiſtle. : Much more might be ſpoken hereof, which I let 
-paſſe, that I might draw toan cnd.

part of thoſe commodities would. be brought in without any charge to this 
Kingdome, whilſt there ſhould be neither money, nor wares exported for |

margent by numbers marked, obſcrycd the time, yearc, and 
event of cycry Battaile. Which being undertaken in fatisfa- 
Aionof the honourable deſire of certaine Martiall and Noble 
minded Gentlemen, profeſſours of Armes , and followers of 
Fame; deſirous to ſec the paſſed any 999. of their owne 
profeſſions 2 d-al: liberally with me to draw the plot, and were 
moſt diligent themſelves, in giving direRions, to ſet downe |_ 
the places, perſons, and the ifſue of every Battaile fought either 
by Sea, or Land, in England, Wales, and Ireland. And being 
finiſhed in a farre larger platforme (with the liking of the mo- | 
ti good acceptance of her that then was the mirrour of 
her ſex, and the maiden Afartiabſt of the then knowne world, 
| the glorious and ever-living Queene ELIZABETH, to whoſe 
facred cenſure it was commended and dedicated) I intended 
there to haye ſtaid it from further ſight or publication. Since 
indeed the ſilence of Eng/ands civill warresbetter befitted Eng- 
lands ſabjeRts , they being the markes of her infamies, and 
ſayncsto be waſhed away rather with repentance , then any 
| way revived by too often remembrance. But theſe defefts [ 
ſaw could not be ſo ſmothered, as to be quite forgot: therefore 
I thought fit at lcaſt to make up her honour, with our other 


po in forraine parts; and inſinuate my penne into 
me little better pra; by tracing the viorics of the Exg- 
bſo, as fatre as the Swene ſpreadeth his beames, or the girdle of 
the carth doth any wiſe incircle it. Not to mention then the 
fitionsof Monwmonth, that makesour Anthoxr another Ceſar 
in his ſts, nor Polydors proofes for Echeiſtans title unto 
Seotland, b the cut of his ſword an ell deepe into a Marble 
ſtone, things rather Pocticall, then ſabſtantiall by truths teſti- 
monie ;In Syria the Long-fhankes, for the recovery of the holy 
- | Crofle, made his ſword drunke with bloud. And before him 
the (exr-de-Lion upon the fame intent,fubdued Cyprus, forced 
Cnr/at the King thereof into fetters of filver and gold : al- 
ſumed the Iland to himſclfe, whoſe title be intended to have 
changed for that of Ier»/alem : unto whom Guido tho King 
thereof, with G de Lenizant his brother, and Raimwnd 
Prince of eLntioch, with Boemonndhis ſonne, ſware fealtic tobe 
true and loyall ſubjcs unto King Richard, Fraxce fele the 
heavie hands of Edward, and Henry our Exgiiſs Kings: when 
the one of them at Poitiers tooke priſoners Jobw King of 
France, and Philip ſarnamed the hardy, his ſonne. And the 
other at eAzincoxrt in a bloody battaile tooke and ſlew foure 
thouſand Princes, Nobles, Knights, and Eſquiers, cyen all the 
flowre of France, astheir owne Writers have declared. And at 
Paris the Crowne of France, was ſet upon Henry 6, his head, 
homage done unto him by the French; that Kingdome made 
ſubje&,and their FloWer-de- Laces, quartered with our Lsons of | 
England, Scotlandlikewiſe, felt the fury of Henry 2.when their 
King #iliam was taken priſoner in the field, And to omit tho 
Bailiolls, that made themſelyes ſubje&sto England: At Ne- 
vils-Croſſe, David King of Scotland, was taken in battaile by - 
the Engliſh (Queene Philip wife to King Edward the third, 
being preſent in field) andboth the Kings'of France and Scot- 
land, at one time retained priſoners in London, till their liberty 
was obtained by ranſome. Nor was Spaine froc from Englands 
power, when that Thunderbolt of warre (our blacke Prince ) 
re-eſtabliſhed Peter their King upon his Throne at Bargis 2 to 
lay nothing of the ruines Spaine ſuffered at Cadez, by the Exg- 
liſhled by Eſſex, in revenge of their unvincible vincible Navy, | 
in truth the ſcale of their truth-lefſe cowardize unto this day. | 
And not onely the Garter which King Richard the firlt tyed | 
about the legsof his Sou/diers, remaines till the Royall bound 
of Englands Combinators ; but the Round T'; able of ſoxe han» 
dred foote circumference creed at Windſor by King Edward 
the third, with the allowance of an hundred poundsby weceke 
for the dict of his Martialifts, may likewiſe witnefle, Where 
tho Worthy admitted, by conference and continuall practiſe, 
got ſuch experience in military affaircs, that, that which was 
laidofthe Gadites, might have beene faid of them; They Were 
all valiant men of warre, apt for Battaile, and could handle fpeare 
and field, their faces Were the faces of Lions, and Were like the 
Roes in the mountaines for ſwiftneſſe. In wholc imitation Philip

not be amifle to make ſome diviſion of them, according to their 
ſeyerall qualities of the ſeverall quarrels in them which are 
found tobe divers, and of three ſeycrall natures. Whereof the 
firſt, were the invaſions attempted by forraine Princes,and enc- 
mics againſt the ——_ of this Realme. The ſecond, 
were meecre Rebellions of Subjeat againſt their annointed 


the bloud Royall : of theſe three,all theſe effifions of bloud have 
conſiſted.

And tobegin with the firſt battell in this plot, which was the 
firſt beginning of government of this ſtate as it yet continueth.

King Herold the ſonne of Earlc Goodwin, who prevailed fo x-

the whole Nation under his obedience, as it hath beene 


Lewes ſon and heire to Philip King of France, apainſt John Ki 
of England, who being jou &r by his owne dm, 
nied with Frexch Forces, and aſliſted by the rebellious Barons 
of this Realme, after variable fortune of fight in ſeycrall skir- 
miſhes, battcls, and affaults, was forced in the end, without 
allhonour, or hope to prevaile, to make a very ſhameful retreate 
into his owne.Countrey,Such wasalfo the entry made by [awes 
the fourth King of Scor,againſt King Henry the eight,of famous 
ſent inthe wars of Frexce, who contrary to his oath and alliance 
formerly made, entred the North frontiers of Exgland, with a 
mightic Armie, had the ſame diſcomfited and overthrowne, and 
was himſclfe flain in the field by the Eng/i/6 forces, under the 
lcading of the Earle of Swrrey, at that time Lieutenant generall 
for King Hewry. And eſpecially ſuch was th: late enterpriſe re- 
maining freſh in memory, of Philip late King of Spine, againſt 
our dread Soveraigne Lady now raigning , in the ycarc ofqur 
Lord 1588. attem ting by his invincible Navie as he ht,

diſcomfited, taken, and drowned, and the other part forced to

of their cnſignes or banners of Idolatry , ed for triumph

CHAPTER I. 


HE State of every Kingdome | 
well managed by prudent Go- 
Sm -- voy aormnrySr me to 
K->* SA reprelent a humane Body, gui- 
2 tha Y ded by the ſoveraignty of the 
OV A: reaſonable Soule : the Countrey 
LH] and Landit ſelfe repreſenting 
the one, the Actions and State 
affairesthe other. Sith therefore the cxcellencies 
of the whole are but unperfeQly laid open, , where 
either of theſe parts is defeRive, our intendment is 
to take a view as well of the outward body and Li- 
neaments of the now-flouriſhing Britiſh Monarchy 
(the Ilands) Kingdomes and Provinces thereof in 
aQtuallpoſſeflion, (for with others, no lefle juftly 
claimed in the Continent, we meddle not) which 
ſhall be the content of our firſt or Chorographicall 
Tome, containing the foure firft Bookes of this our 
Theatey : as alſo of its ſucceſſive government and 
vitall ations of State, which ſhall be our ſecond 


And here firſt wewill toy example of the beft Ana- 
tomiſts) propoſe to the view the whole Body 8& Mo- 
xarchy intire ( * asfarre as conveniently. we could 
compriſeit) and after will difleR and lay open the 
particular Members, Veines and Ioynts (I meane 
the Shires, Rivers, Cities and Townes) with ſuch 
things asſhalloccurre moſtworthy our regard, and 
moſt behovefull for our uſe. | 
(2) The Iland of Great Britaine(which with her 
adjoyning llesis here firſt preſented)containeth the 
Kingdomes of Englendand Scotland, andis of wore 
accounted the greateſt Iflandin the 770rld, thoug 
* 7uſtus Lipſius gives that praiſe to Cubs in America, 
as the Orientall Navigators do unto Sumatra (taken 
for Prolomees Taprobana)or to Madagaſcar, the I{land 
of S. Lawrence, both which are neere unto, or under 
the Equino@iall Line ; Tn which we will not con- 
tend : as pleaſing our ſelves with her other praiſes 
greater then her Greatves; yet with this honour alſo, 
that it was (without queſtion) the greateſt Iſland of 
the Romane World ,. and forany thing yet certainly 
knowne,of all the reft. Concerning whoſe Poſture 
m reſpe&t of Heavey, * Lucretius (the * firit ofthe 
Latine Writers that names Britain)ſeemeth to place 
itin the ſame Parallel with Porrws, where he faith : 


Nam quid Brittannum calum differre putamu? oc. 
What differs Britaines heaven from that of Nile ? 
Or Pontius welkin, from Gadz warmer Iſle ? 


In which, by a certaine crofſe compariſor, he oppo- 
ſethtwo likesagainſt rwo unlikes, Bri#a/n 8 Porimu 
againft Egyptand Gades,. But to ſeek into profound 
Antiquity, rather then preſent practiſe, formatters, 
in which 7 ſe makes perfedFneſſe, were toaftedt the gi- 
ving light by ſhadowes,rather then by Sun-ſhine. 

( ) tis by experience found to lie included from 
the degree fifty, and _ ſcruples of Latitude,and 
for Longitude extended from the 13.degree, & 20. 
minutes, unto the 22.and 50. minutes, according to 
the obſervation of Mercator. It hath Britaine, Nor- 
mandy and other parts of France upon the South, the 
Lower Germany , Denmarke, 8 Norway upon the Eaſt ; 
ithe Iſles of 0rkney andthe Dencaledoniap Sea, upon 


the North ;' the Hebrides uponthe Weſt, and from 
itall otherIlandsand Inlets, which do ſcatteredly 
1nviron it,and ſhelter themſelyes (as itwere) under 
the ſhadow of Great Albion (another name of this | 
famous land) are alſo accounted Britanniſh, and are | 
therefore here deſcribed altogether. © + | 
(4) Britaine thus ſeated in the Occan hath her 
prayſes, not onely in the preſent tenſe, and uſe of her 
commodities, but alſo in thoſe honorable Eulogies, | 


which the * learnedft of Antiquaries hath collected | 


out ofthe nobleſt Authors, that he ſcarce ſeemeth 
to have left any gleanings: neither wil we tranſplant 
rhem out ofhis flouriſhing Garden, bur as neceſlity 


F 


compels, fith nothing can be further or otherwiſe 
better ſaid. / 

( 5) That Brit«inethereforcis the Seas High Ad- 
mirallis famouſly known : and the Fortunare 1/land 
ſuppoſed by ſome, as Robert of Avesburydoth ſhew : 
whoſe ayre is more temperate (ſaith Ceſar) then | 
France ; whoſe Soile bringeth forth all graine in | 
abundance, faith Tacitws, whoſe Seas produceorienr | 
Pearle, faith Sectonizs , whoſe Fields are the ſeat of a 
Summer Queen, faith 0rphews;her wildeſt parts free 
from wilde bcafts, ſaith the ancient Panegyrick, and 
her chiefe Citie worthily named CLuguſts, as faith 
* Amianus : So as we may truly fay with the royall 
Pſalmiſt, Our lines are fallen in pleaſant places, yea, we 
have « faire inheritance, Which whatſoever by the 
goodnefſe of God, and induſtrie of man it is now, 
yet our Engliſh * Poet hath truely deſcribed untous 
the firſt face thereof, thus : 


The Land which warlike Britaines now poſſeſſe, 
And therein have their mightie Empire raiſde, 
In ancient times were ſalvage Wilderneſſe, 

V npeopled, unmanur'd, unprov'd, unpraiſde. 


( s) And albeit the Occandoth at this preſent 
thruft it ſelfe betweene Dover and Celis, dividing 
them witha deepe and vaſt entrenchment ; ſo that 
Britaine thereby is of a ſuppoſed * Pexiſle made an 
Land: yet* divers have ftifly held, that onceir was 
Joyned byanarmeof land tothe continent of Gafia. 
To which opinion Spercer farther alluding ,” thus 
cleſeth his Stanza: | 


Ne was it Tland they, newas it paiſae 
Amid the Ocean waves, ne was it ſought 

of Merchants far, for profits therein praiſde, 
But was all deſolate, and of ſome thought . 
By Seato have bin fromthe Celtick Mainland brought 


Which as a matter mecrly conjecturall (becauſe itis 
not plaine that there wereno llands nor hils before 
Noehs floud) I leave at large: Yirgil ſurely (of all 
Poets the moſt learned) when deſcribing the Shield 
which 7»lcas forged (in Yirgils braine) for Aeneas, 
he calsthe Morin; (people about Calls) * rhe outmept 
men, doth onely. meane that they were Weſtward, 
the fartheſt Inhabitants upon the Continent, ſigni- 
fying withall that Britaineas being an Iland, lay out 
ofthe world : but yet not, out of the knowledge of 
men, for the commodities thereof invited the fa- 


at Maſsilia in France,to venture hither;as hath been 
well* obſerved out of Srrabo. IM |

ToBritiſh Glory, LatiumsWealth worth nought. 


( 8) The diviſion of Britaine concerningthe go- 
vernmentand territories thereof,at ſuch time as Ce- 


ſar here arrived, doth not ſufficiently appeare. Ce- 
| far himſelfe makes ſo ſparing mention herein, that 


we have little cauſe to beleeve * Florw, where he 
makes Livie ſay, that after Ceſ@ had ſlainan huge 
multitude of Britaines, * he ſubdued the reſidue of the 
Ife,but rather with exquiſite Horace, that he did not 
at all rouchthem, asthe word * in#aw dothin him 
purport, . On! | 
(9) Kings there were,and therefore that Diviſion 
which was here inCeſars time, was into Kingdomes ; 
theold names ofwhoſe Nations, as alſo the know- 
ledge oftheir ſeveral abodes, hidden under the rub- 
biſh of ſo many ages, have * of late withinfinite la- 
bours and exquiſite judgement, beene probably re- 
ftoredand bounded ; yet that no mans expeCation 
and defire be too much fruſtrated, reaſon wils that 
| we briefly ſet forth ſuch diviſions of the Land, as 
many repute not ancientonely, but authenticke. 
(ro) Our ſeeming ancient Hiſtorians begin it at 
Brute, who to every of his three ſonnes gave a part, 
called preſently after their names ; as * Loegriato 
Locrine hiseldeft ſonne : * Cambria, to Camber his ſe- 
cond ſonne * and 4lbaniato 4lbaniff his third ſon, 
And doubtlefle, if there had been more Nations of 
famein this land, Bruteſhould have had more ſons 
fathered on him : which conceit ſome aſcribe to 
| Monmouth, holding that before him it was never fo 
divided, 

(1x ) Ptolomey. naming Britaine the Great andthe 
Leſſe, hath been by ſome miſtaken; as ſo dividing 
this Iland into two parts; but his proportion and d1- 
ſtance from the «£quater, compared with his Geo- 
graphicall deſcription will evince, that he calleth 
this our Iland Ga z AT Bx1TAIN, and Ireland 
BRITAIN THE LESSE. 

( 12 ) Howbeit ſome latter doe make indeed the 
South and more Champion to be calledGnxzaT 
BRITAIN, and the North more mountainous, 
BxiTain Tnrsr Lxsss ; whoſe Inhabitants an- 
ciently were diftinguiſhed into the Mararar, 
and CALEDON11, and now by the Scots are into 
Heghlandmen and Lawlandmen. But that Northerne 
clime being more piercing for the Komayes conſtitu- 


bounds not farre from Edenbureh, and altogetber 
neglected the other parts more Northward. 

7, 3) Thisnecrerpart of Britain they then divi- 
ded into two parts;forthe more Southern tract, to- 
gether with Wales, Diotermeth che Higher,and that 
| more Northward the Lower, as by the ſeats of their 
Legions doth appeare ; for theſecond Legion Augs- 
fa (which kept at Caerleon in South-Wales) and the 
twentieth called Yi&rix(which remained atCheſter) 
heplaceth in the HiG nz k BRITAIN: but the fixt 
Legionſurnamed alſo Yi&rix, reſident at Yorke, ſer- 
ve ox} hone inthe Lovvex BriTaiN; 
which diviſion, as ſeemeth was made by Severus the 


Emperour, who having vanquiſhed. 4 /binws, Gene- 


ett. 


tions and * leſſe profitable or fruitfull, they ſet their - 


obedience, divided the government thereof into 
yu Provinces, and placed two Prefect over the 
ens

Inriſditions of the Chrifti 

recinAs of the RomaneMa 
Archbiſhops had their Sees inthole Cities wherein 
their Preſidents abode : ſo that the ancient Seats 
of the three Archbiſhops here, being Loxdos ia the 
Eaft, Caerleoxin the Weſt, and Torketh the North, 
Londens Diocefle (as ſeemeth) madeBxiT. Pxr- 
M A; Caerlcon, BRIT.SECVN Db Azand TorkeM Ax1- 
MA CE#SARKRIENSIS. ; 

(15) But in the next age, when the power of their 
Preſidents began to grow over-great, they again di- 
vided Britaineinto five parts, adding tothe three for- 
merVALENTIAandPravia C#SARkIENSIS: 


the firſt of wh two ſeemethtohavebeen the N or- 
of MaxiMa C&$SARIENSIS,reco- | 


therly 
vered trom the Pids and Scots by Theodofims the Ge- 
nerall, under Yalezce the Emperour, and in honour 
of him, named VaLENTI1 A: and Flaviamay be 
conjectured !to receive the name from Flaviws the 
Emperour (ſon of Theodeſius) for that we read not of 
the nameoftBzx1T. FL avra, before his time. 

(16) So theſe fivepartitions hadtheir limits aſ- 
figned after this manner: BxiT. Px1maA con-. 


Severne, and the Britiſh Sea: Bxrrarin SECUN- 
d a extended from Severye unto the 1riſhSeas, con- 


Flavia C2$aklznsS1s, was that which lay 


|becwixtthe Rivers Humber and Tyne : and V a Lt N- 


r 1 a fromthe ſaid River,and Pi#s-wall reached un- 
tothe Rampire neere Edenburgh in SCorLand, 
the fartheſt part that the Rowaves poſſeſſed when 
this Diviſion wasinuſe. For the ſeyerall people in- 
habiting all thoſe parts, with their ancient Names 
and Borders (whether deſigned by the Romanes or 
the old pritaines)together with our moderne Names 
and Shires, anſwerable toeach ofthem : wewillre- 
ferre youto the Tables thereof, * elſewhere. 

(17) This whole Provinceof Bxx ran e,as in 
our Hiftory ſhall appeare, was highly cfteemed of 
the Emperours themſelves, aſſuming as a glorious 
ſurname BxxranxNicus: coming thither in 
perſon over thoſe dangerous and ſcarce knowne 
Seas; here marrying, living, anddying ,; enacting 
here Lawes for the whole Empire, and giving to 
thoſe Captaines thatſerved here, many Enfignes of 
great honour : yea Claudius gave Plantine (the firſt 
Prefe& of that Province) the right hand, as he ac- 
companied him in his Triumph : and his owne Tri- 
umph of Bx 1 r 4 1 x was ſer out with ſuch magnifi- 
cence,thatthe Provinces brought in golden crowns 
of great weight, the Governours commanded toat- 
tend, and the very Captains permitted to.be pre- 
ſentat the ſame : A Navall Coronet was fixed upon 
a pinnacle of his Palace. Arches and Trophees 
wereraiſed in Rowe, and himſelfe on his aged knees 


| mounted the ftaires intothe Capitoll, ſupported by 


his two ſonnesin Law: ſo great a joy conceived he 
in himſelfe for the Conqueſt of ſome ſmall portion 
of BR1ITAiN.

(4) But when that ſeven-fold Heptarchie was 
brought toa Aonerchy,and the Kings from Pagans to 
be Chriſtian profeſſors, Elfred (that mirrour of Kings). 
forthe ſetling of his ey and ſubjects undera 


the Hiſtory ofthat growing Heptarchy, and its ſetling 
apgaine intoone Monarchy, is contained at large. 

(2) Neither may wethinke, that the Zimirs ofthe 
whole Heptarchy, or of cach particular Kingaome, 
were at their firſt raifingapportioned, as afterward 
they were; but that (as all other States doe) by ſteps 
and degrees they came to theirſetled bounds. Their 
utmoſt Northerne border was at firſt no other (inall 
likelihood) then that, wherewith the Romances had 
formerly ſevered this their Provincefrom Scotland, 
being that famous partition called the PiiFs-wal,, 
(which therefore in our Map you ſhall finde deſcxi- 
bed with Batttements)girding the waf(ornarroweſt 
| place)of the whole //and,from Seato Sea,and reach- 
ing twixt the Bay-of * Eden on the one coaſt, and 
the mouthof Tyxe on the other; though afterward 
the Nortbumbrians extended their Marches beyond 
that Wall, The Romanes had no other partition but 
onely this Northerne - the Saxons (who had made 
the Britaines alſo their enemies) added two others 
(bothin the Weſt ) to ſtraitenthem 8 ſtrengthen 
themſelves. The firft was deviſed by ofa the Merci- 


| «x King, who made a Trench of admirable worke 


and charge,called 0ffa-Dyke, runningabout one hu». 
dred miles oyer mountains and hils, from the mouth 
of Dec'in Flint-ſhire, to thefall of Wein Gleceſter- 
ſbire,therewith encircling the remainder ofthe diſ- 
poſlefſed Brirzains inthoſe Weſternand barren parts : 
which oppreſſion King Harold further aggravated 
by a Law ; That if any Welſbman were found with any

Decimes which they call Tythings that ſo every Engliſh- 
man living andey law , ſhould be within ſome Hundred

fron, be ſhould forthwith bring in ſome of that ſame Hun-

wretiſhip did flie, then all that Hundred and Tything in-

gate Eaſt-ward 'in'the Ifle of 7henet, is about 53. Engliſh 
miles. Frota Rothey in the South, unto the Iſle of Gr aine 
North-ward, the bredth is not much aboye 26. and the 
whole circumference about 160:

tim, of Cant or Canton, an Angle or (orner: citherof 
Caine a Britiſh word, which q ony Buſhes or Woods, 
whereof that Country in thoſe former times was plenti- 
fully ſtored. 

(3) The Ayre, though not 'yery cleare, becauſe of 
the yapours ariſing from the Sca, and Rivers that envi- - 
ron the ſame, is both wholeſome and temperate, as ſeated 
neareſt to the EquineTial,and the furtheſt from the Norch- 
Pole, not tonched with cold as the other patts of the

little hils, the Weſt more levell and woody, in all places 
fruitfull, and in plenty _ any other of the Realmo, yea, 
and in ſome things hath- the beſt eſteeme: as in Broad» 
cloathes, Fruits, and feedings for Cattle, Only Mines (ex- 
cepting Iron) are wanting all things elſe delivered with a 
prodigall heart and liberall hand. | 

5 ) Sundry navigable Rivers arc in Kent,whereof MMed- 
way,that divideth the Shire in the midlt,is chicfe ; in whoſe 
boſome ſecurely rideth his Majeſtics Navy Royall, the wals 
of the land, and terrours of the Seas ; beſides ten others of 
natne and account, that open with twenty Creckes and Ha» 
yens for Ships arrivage into this Land, foure of them bear» 
ing the name of Cinque Ports, are places of great ſtrength 
and priviledges, which are Dover, Sandwich, Rummey, and 
Winchelſey: among which Dover with the Caltle is accoune 
ted by Matthew Par the Monke, the Lock and Key to the 
whole Realme of England; and by Zobn Reſſe and Lidgate 
is faid to be built by 7»/ius Ceſar, fatall only for the death of 
King Stephey, and ſurrender of King 7ohn therein hapning, 

(6) Aconceit is,that Goodwin-Sands were ſunk for the 
fins of himſelf and his ſons. Shelycs indeed that dangerouſ- 
ly lye on the North-calt of this County, and arc much feared 
of all Navigators. Theſe formerly had been firme ground, 
but by a ſudden inundation of the Sea were ſwallowed up, 
as at the ſame time a great part of Flanders and the Low 
( onntries were : and the like alſo at the ſame time befell 
in Scotland, as Hefor Boetins their Hiftoriographer wri- 
teth. Alike accident hapned in the yeare 1586. the fourth 
day of Auguſt, in this County, at Mortingham, a Towne 
_— miles from Loxdes, ſuddenly the ground began to 
ſinke, and three great Elmes thereon growing, were car» 
ried ſo deepe into the bowelgof the carth, that no part of 
them could any more be ſeen,the hole left in compaſſe four- 
ſcore yards about, and a line of fifty fadomesplummed into 
it doth find nobettome. 

(5) The Kentiſh people.in (eſars time were accounted 
the civilleſt among the Britains : and as yet cſteeme them- 
ſelves the freeſt Subjeds of the Engii/s, not conquered,but 
compounded with by the Normans: and herein glory, that 
the King and Commons of all the Saxoxs were. the firſt 
Chriſtians, conyerted in £-no 596. yea, and long before that 
time alſo Key received the Faith z for it is recorded that 
Lacie the firſt Chriſtian Briti/s King in this Iſland, built a 
Church to the name and ſervice of Chriſt, within the Caſtle 
of Dever, cndowing it with the Toll of the ſame Haven. 

(8) This County is enriched with two Cities & Biſhops 
See,ltrengthned with 27. Caſtles, graced with eight of his

\ af V TH-s = x, aword compound- 
edof the fide thereof South- 
ward, and of the Saxozs, whoſe 
Kingdome was the ſecond in 
their Heptarchie, is written by 
them So'Srex, and by us Suſſex, 
lieth tretched along the Brit- 

"GP" tiſh Seas. The North confronts 
upon Surrey and Kent , and the Weſt butteth upon 
Hampſhire, 

& ) For forme itlieth long and narrow, ſo that 
all her Rapes doe run quite thorow the Shire , and 
containeth from Meſtharting'in the Weſt, to Kent 
ditch that divides it from Xezt in the Eaſt , fixtie 
foure Miles, but in the broadeſt part little above 
twentie , the whole in Circumference , abour one 
hundred fiftie eight Miles, 

(3) The Aire is good, though ſomwhat clouded 
with miſts, whichariſe from her South bordering 
Sea, who is very prodigall unto her for Fiſh and Sea- 
ftowle, though as ſparing for Harbours or Ships ar- 
rivage , and thoſe whichſhe hath, as uncertaine for 
contihuance, asdangerousforentrance. 

(4) Richisthe Soile and yeeldeth great plentie 
of all things neceſſary, but very ill for travellers, 
eſpecially in the winter, the land lying low and the 
wayes very deepe, whoſe middle traCtis garniſhed 
with Meadows, Paſtures, and Corn-fields , the Sea- 
Coaſt with Hills which are called the Downs, abun- 
dantly yeelding both Graize and Graſſe, and the 
North ſide overſhadowed with pleaſant Groves and 
thicke Woods, where ſometimes ſtood the famous 
Wood Andradſwald, containing no lefle then an 
hundred and twentie Miles in length, and thirtie in 
bredth, taking the name of CAnderidas a Citie ad- 
joyning: both which were won from the Bricaines 
by Ela the firſt Saxon King of this Province,and the 
ho made fatall to Sigebert King of the Weſt-Sax- 
ons, who being depoſed from his Royall Throne, 
was met in this Wood by a Swine-herd, and flaine 
in revenge of his Lord, whom Sigebers had mur- 
dered. | 

(5) The ancient people inthe Romans time were 
the Regni of whom we haveſpoken, and who were 
ſubdned by Yeſþaſianthe Leader of the ſecond Le- 
gionunder Anls Plautiue, Lieutenant in Briteine for 
Claudius the Emperour, But after the departure of 
the Romans , this with Surrey was made the South- 
Saxons Kingdom: yet that givingplacetothe Weſt- 
Saxons , as they intime tothe Normans, it became a 
Province under the Conquerours power, who gave 
to his followers much land in theſe parts. 

(6) Theplace of moſt accountiin this Shire is Chi- 
cheſter , by the Britaines called Caerces , and by the 
Saxons Cirran-Cearep, a Citie beautifull and large, 
and very well walledabout , firſt built by Ca the 
ſecond King of the South-Saxons, wherein his Roy- 
all Palace was kept. And when K. Wiliam the firſt 
had enacted that Biſhops Sees ſhould be tranſlated out 
of ſmall Townes unto places of greater reſort, the 
Reſidence of the Biſhop ( untill then held at Selſey) 
was removed to this Citic , where Biſhop Raulfe be- 


quite conſumed. Yet the ſame Biſhop, with the 
helping liberalitie of King Henry the firſt , began it 
again, and ſawit wholly finiſhed; whoſe beauty and 


| gana moſt goodly Cathedrall Church : but before it | 
was fully finiſhed, by aſudden miſchance of fire was | 


— 


place, the Citie hath born the Title of an Zarldome; 


in the Weſt, whence Mercator hath meaſured , are 
twentie degrees. 

(7) With whom for frequencie, bignefle, and 
where King Athelſtan op oma the mintage of his 
Moneyes, and William de Warron built aftrong Ca. 
tle, whereunto the diſloyall Barons of King Henry 
the third in warlike manner reforted, and fought a 
great Battle againſt their own Soveraigne and his 
ſonne, wherein the King had his horſe flaine under 


kenina Wind. mill, and Prince Edward delivered 
untothem upon unequall conditions of Peace : But 
a greater Battle was tought at Battle, when the ha- 
zard of England was tried in one dayes fight, and 
Haraldthe King gave place to his Conqueronr by lo- 
ſing of his life, among fixtie ſeven thouſand , nine 
hundred ſeventie foure Engliſhmen beſides; whoſe 
blood foſpilt, gave name tothe place, in French, 
Sayguelac, And the ſoyle naturally after raine be- 
comming of a reddiſh colour, cauſed . illiam of 
Newbery untruly to write , That if there fell any ſmall 
ſweet ſhowers in the place, where ſo great 4 ſlaughter if 
the Engliſhmen was made, preſently ſweateth forth wery 
freſh blood ont of the earth, as if the evidence thereof did 


ſtill from the earth unto the Lord. 

( 8) But places of other note in this Shire are 
theſe : From Baſham Earle Harold taking the Sea for 
his delight, in a ſmall boat was driven upon the 
coaſt of Normandie,where by Duke William he was 
retained, till he had ſworne to make him King after 
Edward Confeſſors death; which oath being broken, 
the Baſtard arrivedat Penſey , and with his ſword re- 
venged that Periurie. At Weſt-Wittering alſo Elli 
the Saxon before him had landed for the conquer- 
ing of thoſe parts, and gave nameto theſhore trom 
C:menhisſon. But with greater glory doth Grome- 
bridge raiſe up her head, where Charles Duke of 07- 
leance father to Lewes the twelfth , King of France, 
taken priſoner at Agincourt , was there along time 
detained. 

9) The commodities of this Province are many 
and divers,both in Cory, Cattell, Woods, Iron,8& Glaſſe; 


Poſſeſſors, ſodoe they impoveriſh the Countie of 
Woods; whoſe want will be found in ages to come, 
ifnot at this preſent in ſome ſort felt. 

(10) Great have been the devotionsof Religious 
perſons in building and conſecrating many houſes 
unto the uſe and only ſervice of Chrift ; whoſe 
Bead-men abuſing the intents of their Founders, 
have cauſed thoſe foundations to lament their own 
ruines : for in the tempeſtuous time of King Henry 
the Eight, eighteene of them in this 
were __ ne down, whole fruit fell into the lappes 
of ſome that never meant to reſtore them againto 
thelike uſe. | 

This County is principally divided intofix Rapes, 
every ofthem containinga River,a Caftle,and For- 
reſt in themſelves , beſides the ſeverall Hundreds 
whereunto they are parted, thatis,the Rape of Chi- 


greatnes her fatallenemy ftillenvying , againecaft 


her raging 


the ſecond Biſhop of that name recdifiedand built 
anew, And now to augment the honour of this 


| cheſter intoſeven, of Arundell into five, of Bramber 


downe in the dayes of King Richard the firft, and by | into ten, of Lewes into thirteene, of Pevenſey into 
flames conſumed the buildings both of| ſeventeene, and of Haſtings intothirteene, inall fif- 
it and the Biſhops Palace adjoyning , which Seffrid 


tie fix, whereinare ſeatedten Caſtles, cighteene 

market Towns, and three hundred and twelve Pa- 

riſh-Churches,as inthe Table following appeareth.

4 URREY, by Bedacalled Su- 
thry and by the Saxons written 
SuSpea, lyeth ſeparated upon 
& the North from the Counties 
of Buckingham and Middleſex, 
by the great River Thameſes , 
upon the Eaſt Kext doth in- 


Ne bound it ; upon the South is 
held in with S»ſſex and Hampſhire : and her Weft 
partis bordered upon by Hampſireand Barksſbire. 


2 ) The forme thereofis ſomewhat ſquare, and 


ah 61 ites, betwixt whom are ex- 
tended thirty foure miles, The broadeſt part is from 
Awfeld Southward, to Thameſis by Sraines,and them 
aſander twenty two: the whole in circumferenceis 
one hundredand twelye miles. 

(3) The Heavens breathing ayre inthis Shire is 
me ſweetand deleQable,ſo that for the ſame cauſe 
many royall Palaces of our Princes are therein ſea- 
ted, andthe Countrey better ſtored with game then 
with graine, in ſo much that this County is by ſome 
men compared unto ahome-ſpunne freeze-eloth, 
witha:cottly faire lift, for that the out-verge doth 
exceed the middle it ſelfe. And yet is it wealthy e- 
nough both in Corne and Paſturage, eſpecially in 
Holmeſdale, and towards the River of Thamiſis. 

(4) In this Shire the Regsi (an ancient people 
mentioned by Prolemie)were ſeated, whom he bran- 
cheth further thorow S»ſ[ex and ſome part of Hamp- 
ſhire, And inthe wane of the Romanes government, 
whenthe Land was left to the will of Invaders, the 
South-Saxons under Ella here erefted their King- 
dome, which with the firſt was raiſed, and ſooneſt 
found end. From them no doubt the Countie was 
named hon, as ſeated upon the South ofthe Ri- 
yer ; and now by contraQton is called Swrrey. 

(5s) Andalbeit the County is barren of Cities or 
Townes of gitateſtate, yet is ſhe ſtored with many 
Princely houſes, yea & fiveofhis Majefties, ſo mag- 
nificently built, that of ſome ſhe may well ſay, no 
Shire hath none ſuch, as is Nore-ſuch indeed. And 
were not Richmond a fatall place of England; beft 


are the © 


| 


ceived their Scepter of Imperiall power. Guildford 
likewiſe hath been farre greater then now it is, when 
the Palace of our Engliſh Saxon Kings was therein 
ſet. And ſecingit is the midft of the Shire, the gra- 
duation from hence fhall be obſerved;where for La- 
titude the Pole is raiſed from the degree 51.22.ſcru- 
ples: and her Longitude from the Weſt in the de- 
gree 20, and 2, ſcruples. | 


(7.) Neither can we account Okew and Ripley, 
twoſmall villages, the leaſt in this Shire, which have 
brought forth the well-known men, William dc 
Okem, that deepe Philoſopher and admirable Scho- 
lar, and George de Ripley, the ring-leader of our Al- 
chymiſts and myfticall Impoftors ; both of them 
borne in this County,and very neere together, But | 
why ſpeak I of theſe, fith aplace neerer ro fight, and 
greater for fame, even Lambeth, is the hi gh-Seat of 
Ecclefiaſticall Government, Piety, & Learning,and 
Palace of Canterburies Archbiſhops, the Metropolitan: 
of i, ereted by Arch-biſhop Baldwin,and 
ever fince hath been the reſiding of al thoſe worthy 
Prelates of our Church, who in a long ſucceſſion (e-| 
venfrom 45.596.) have continued to him that now 
moſt worthily firs at. the Churches ſterne, George by 
Gods proyidence Lord Arch-biſhop of that See, a 
\ moſt faithfull and prudent Counſefor unto King 

Charles,anda moft learned and provident Guide of 
our mok flouriſhing Ohurch : whoſe gracious favour 
undeſervedly conferred upon me, hath been a great 
encouragement totheſe m e cndevours. 

- (2) Memorable places for Battles fought before 
the Conqueſt, were Fembledon,where(when the ful. 
neſle of proſperitie burſt forth into Civill Diſſenti- 
ons amongthe Saxoxs) abloudy Battle was fought 
betwixt Cheanlinthe Weſt-Saxon, and young Ethel- 
bert of Kent, wherein he was diſcomfited, and two 
of his principall Leaders laine, about the yeere of 
Chriſt, 560. and three hundred thirtie three yeers 
after, King Elfred with a ſmall power overcame the 
Danes with a great {laughter at Farnham in this 
Conntie, which ſomewhat quelled the courage of 
his ſavage enemie. 


Princes,it might in cfteem be ranked with the rich- 
eft: for therein dicd the great Conqueror of France, 
King Edwerdthe third, the beautifull Ax»e daugh- 
ter to Charles the Fourth, Emperour, and intirel 
beloved wife to King Richard the Second ; themo 


of her Sexe, the mirrourof Princes, Queene Eliza- 


| | beth, the worlds love, and SubjeCtsjoy. 
(6) At Merionwlikewiſe Kenulph King of the Weſt- 
| S&x075 came to his untimely end: andart Lamberh the 
hardie Cane, and laft of the Daniſh Kings, died a- 
mong his Cups. But as theſe places were fatall for 
| the laſt breath of theſe Princes, ſo other in this 
County have beene graced with the bodyand be- 
inniagpf other worthy Monarkes: forin Chersſey 
Abbey King Henry the Sixth, whowas depoſed and 

ad Eondon, was firſt inter- 
red withour all funerallpompe, but for his holy life 
was imputed a Saint, andlaftly tranſlated, andin- 
tombed-at Windſor. At Kmngione likewiſe ſtood 
the Chaire of Majeftie, wherein _1the/Fay, Edwin, 
and Erhelred fateat their Coronation, and firſt re- 


made awayinthe Tower of 


wiſe Prince King Hepry the Seventh, and the rareft 


| devotion of Princes, and ſetapart from publikeuſes 

to Gods Divine Service, and their owne Salyation, 
asthen was taught, the beſt in account were Sheye, 
Chertſey, Merton, Newarke,Rygate, Waverley,Horſleg, 
and in Southwarke, Bermundſey,and S, Maries. Theſe 
all flouriſhed with increaſe, tillthe ripeneſle ofrheir 
fruit was ſo pleaſing in fight and rafte unto King 
| Henry the Eighth, that'in 
brake downe body andall, ruinating thoſe houſes, 
and ſeiſing theirrichpoſſeflions into his own hands. 
Sojealousis God of his honour; and ſo great ven-

(10) In this Shire have ſtood eight faire and ftrong 
Caftles:ſuch were Addington, Darking, Starburg, Ry-

[obn, thirtcenc Engliſh-men only defended the Fort for fif- 
tecne dayes againſt Lewis of France, that with a great Hoaſt 
aſſaulted it moſt hotly. 

(6) Anciently it was poſleſt upon the North by the Se- 
goutians, who yeelded themlclyes to [nlixs Ceſar,and whoſe 
chiofe City was Yindonuw, (aer Segonte, now Silcefter ; and 
upon the South by the Belge, and Reg»i, who were ſubdued 
by Plantius and Veſpafiax the Romans,. whete Titus reſcuing 
bis father, ſtraitly beſieged by the Brizasnes, as Dio and Force- 
exlus doc report , was graſped about with an Adder, butno 
hurt tohis perſon, and therefore taken for aſigne of good luck. 
Their chiefe Town was Rivcewood as yet ſounding the name : 
and more within Land inhabited the Iſanwrer, as Beda calles 
them, whoſe Hundreds alſo to this day give a reliſh of their 
(7) Neere Ringwood, and the place once YT 8 nz, from 
God and peoples ſervice, to Beaſt and luxury,thirty-ſix Pariſb- 
Churches were converted and pulled downe by the {orque- 
roxr, and thirty miles of circuite inforreſted for his Game of 
Hunting, wherein his ſonnes, Richerd and Rufwe, with H 

the ſecond ſonne to Duke Robert, his firlt, felt b haſty dea 
the hand of Tuſtice and Revenge: for in the ſame Forreſt, 
Richard by a blaſting of a peſtilent aire, Refws by a ſhot ta- 
keen for a Beaſt, and Hexry as Abſalow, hanged by a bough, 
came totheir untimely cnds. At ſo deare a rate the 

of dogs, and harbour for beaſts were bought in the blood of 
theſe Princes. Es 

(8) The gencrall commoditics gotten inthis Shire, are 
Woolles, Clothes and Iron, whereof great ſtore is therein 
wrought from the Mines, and thence tranſported into all parts 
of this Realme, and their Clothes and Karfies carried into ma- 


merly it bare. The Graduation of this City by the- Mathema- 
ticks, is placed for Latitude in the degree 51, 10 minutes, and 
for Longitude 19, 3 minntes. 
(10) More South, is Sowth-hampron, a Towne populous, 
rich, and beautifull, from whom the whole Shire deriveth 
her name, moſt ſtrongly walled about with ſquare ſtone; con- 
taining incircuit, one thouſand and two hundred paces, ha- 
ving ſeven Gates for entrance, and twenty-nine Towers for 
defence, two very ſtately Keyes for Ships arrivage, and five 
faire Churches for Gods Divine Service,bafdes an Hoſpital, 
called Gods houſe, wherein the unfortunate Richerd, Earle of 
C—_ — for treaſon, lyeth interred, On the 
Woalt of this Towne is mounted a moſt beautifull Caſtle, in 
forme Circular, and wall within wall, the foundation upon a 
hill fo topped, that it cannot be aſcended but by ſtaires, carry- | 
inga goodly proſpe& both by Land and Seca, and inthe Eaſt 
without the walles a goodly Church ſometimes ſtood, called 
Saint Aſaries, which was pulled downe, for that it gave the 
French dirc&ion of courſe, who with fire had greatly cn» 
dangered the Towne : In ſtead thereof,is now newly ereQed 
a {mall and unfiniſhed Chappell. In this place (Gaith learned 
Cambden) (tood the ancient Clanſentivm, or Fort of the Ro- 
wars, Whoſe circuit on that ſide extendedit ſelfe to the Sea + 
This ſuffered many depredations by the Sexox Pirats, and in 
e/Lnno g8$0. was by the Danes almoſt quite overthrowne. 
In King Edward the thirds time, it was fied by the Frenth, 
under the conduR of the King of Sici/s ſonne, whom a coun- 
trey-man encountred and ſtrucke downe with his Club, Hee 
crying Rancon, that is, Ranſome, but hee neither underſtand- 
ing bis language, nor the law that Armes doth allow, lid on 
wore ſonnaly, ſaying, I know thee a Franken, and therefore 
ſaalt then dye : And in Richard the ſeconds time it was ſome- 
what removed, and built in the place where now it ſtandeth. 
In this Clanſentinns, Cannie to cvidt his fatterers, made triall 
of bis Dcity, commandiag the Scas to keepe backe from his 
ſcat : bur being not obeyed, he acknowledged God to be the 
only Supreme Governour, and in a religious devotion gave up 


ny forraine Countries to that Counties, great benefit, and 
England: great prailc. | 

9) The Trade thercof, with other proviſions for the 
whole, are yented thorow cighteene Market-Townes in this 
Shire, whercof Wincheſter, the Britaines Caer Gwens,the Ro- 
mans Venta Belgarum, and the Saxons Winvanearden is 
chiefe, ancient cnough by our Britiſh Hiſtorians, as built by 
King Rudbydibras, ninc bundred yeares beforc the Nativity 
of Chriſt : and famous in the Row«ns times for the weavings 
and embroderies therein wrought, to the peculiar uſes of 
their Emperoxrs owne perſons. In the Saxons times, after 
two Calamitics of conſuming fire, her walles were raiſed,and 
the Citic made the Royall Scat of their YeH-Saxons Kings, 
| and the Metropolitan of their Biſhops See, wherein Egbere 
and Elfred their moſt famons Monarches were crowned : and 
Henry the third, the Normans longeſt raigner, firſt tooke

ILAND.

IGHT Iland was in times paſt na- | 

9] med by the Romanes Yeita, Yeits, 
ſe and Yedeſis, by the Britains,Guyth, 

| by the Engliſh Saxons, Wuic-lans, 

[ 1 and Wicp-/fa, ( foran Iland they 
5] termed .AE4) and intheſedayes 

uſually called by us, The Iſle of 
Wight. Ic belongeth to the County of Southampton, 
and lyeth out in length over againſt the midft of it 
South-ward, It is encompaſſed round with the Br:- 
tiſh Seas, and ſevered from the Maine-land, thatit 
may {eeme to have been conjoyned to it, and there- 
of it is thought the Britiſh name ( G«ytb) hath been 
given untoit,which betokeneth ſeparation, even as 
Sicily being broken off and cut from 1taly , got the 
name from Secando ( which fignifieth cutting. ) 
2) The forme ofthis Iſle is long, and inthe mid- 
deſt farre more wide then at either end : from B7i»- 
bridge 1le in the Eaſt, to Hwrſt Caftle in the Weſt, it 
ftrerchethout in length 20, miles , and inbreadth 
from Newport Haven Northward, to Chale-bay 
Southward twelve miles. 'The whole in circumfe- 
rence is about fixtie miles. 
| ( 3) Theaireis commended both for health and 
delight, whereof the firſt is witneſſed by thelong 
continuance of the Inhabitants in the ſtate of their 
bodies before they be decayed , and theother for 
quantity gives place to no neighbouring Country. 

- (4) The ground - ſay _ of the Sea, which 
is exceeding full of Fiſh) conſiſteth of ſoyle very 
fruitfull; yet the husbandmans labour deſerves to 
be thankefully remembred , by whoſe __ and 
induftry it doth not onely ſupply it ſelte, but af- 
fords Cornto be carried forth to others. The land 
is plenteouſly ſtored with Cattle and Graine, and 
breeds every where ſtore of Conies , Hares, Par- 
tridgesand Pheſants, pleaſant for meadow , paſtu- 
rage, and Parkes; ſo that nothing is wanting that 
may ſuffice man. 'The middeſt yeelds plentie of 
paſture , and forrage for Sheepe ; whoſe wooll the 
Clothiers eſteemethe beſt; nextuntothat of Leix- 
fter and Cotteſwold : If you caft your eyes towards 
the North, it isall over garniſhed with Meadows, 
Paſtures and Woods: If towards the South fide, it 
lyeth ( ina manner ) wholly bedecked with Corne- 
fields encloſed, whereat cachend the Seadoth ſo 
incrochit ſelf, that it makethalmoſt twollands be- 
ſides, namely, Freſhwater Iſle, which looketh to the 
Weſt, and Binbridge Iſle anſweringit tothe Eaft, 

(5) The Commodities of the whole chiefly con. 
fiſt of Cattle, Sea-fowle, Fiſh, and Corne, whereof 
it hath ſufficient: Woods are not here very plenti- 
full; for that it is onely ſtored with one little foreſt; 
yer the Country of Hamſbire for vicinitie of Site, is 
a friendly neighbour in that behalfe z ſo( asit were 
being tyed together in affinitie ) they are alwayes 
ready , andpropenſe toadde to each others wants 
by a mutuall ſupply. 

6) The ancient Inhabitants of this Iland were 
the Belge,ſpoken of in theſeveral Provinces of Som- 
merſet-ſhire, Wiltſhire, and Hamt-ſhire, Such as did 
rhenpoſleſle it were called Lords of the 1le of Wight, 
till it fell into the Kings hands, by Roger (Sonne to 
William Fitz-Osburne,{laine in the warre of Flanders) 
| that wasdriveninto exile. And Heyry the firſt King 
| of England gave itunto Richard Ridvers,with the fee 
or Inheritanceofthe Town of Chriſt-Chnrch, where 
(as in'all other places) he built certaineFortreſles,” 


> 


Newport, called in times paſt eden, and Novns 
Burgus de Meden; that is, the new Burgh of Meden, 
whereof the whole Countrey is divided into Eaſt- 
Meden, and Weſt-Meden. A Towne well ſeated, 
and much frequented; unto whoſe Burgefſes His 
Majeſtie hath lately granted the choyſe of a Major, 
who with his Brethren , doe governe accordingly. 
Itis populous with Inhabitants, having an entrance 


ſels of ſmall burden unto the Key. Not farre from 
itis the 
to have been Whitgar the Saxon, and from him cal- 
led White-Garesburgh : but now made ſhorter for 
eaſier pronunciation; the graduation whereof for 
Latitude is inthedegree 50. 36, minutes : and her | 
Longitude in x9. 4. minutes, where formerly hath 
ſtood a Priory, and at 2uarrea Nunnery; a neceſ- 
ſary neighbour to thoſe Penitentiaries. And yetin 
their merry mood the Inhabitants of this Iland doe 
boaſt, that they were happier then their neighbour- 
Countreys,forthat they never had Monke that ever 
wore hood , Lawyers that cavilled , nor Foxes that 
were craftie. 

('$) Itis reported, thatin the yeere of mans fal- 
vation, 1176. and twentiethree of King Henry the 
ſecond, that in this Iland it rained aſhowre of blood, 


— 


ther to the great wonder and amazement of the | 
ple that beheld it with feare. 

( 9 ) This Ifle of Wight is fortified both by Art 
and Nature : for beſides the ftrength of Artificiall 
Forts and Block-houſes ( wherewith it is well fur- 
niſhed ) it wants not the affiftance of naturall Fen- 
ces, as being cnriched witha continuallridge and 
range of craggy Cliffes, and Rocks, and Bancks, 
very dangerous for Saylers,as the Needles, ſo called 
by reaſon of their ſharpneſſe: 'The Shingles,Mixon, 
Brambles, 8c. 

(10) Yeſþaſian was the firſt that broughtit tothe 
ſubjeion of the Romances, whiles he ſerved as a 
private perſon under Claudius Ceſare. And Cerdic was 


the firft Engliſh Saxonthat ſubdued it, who granting | 


itunto Stuffe and Whitgar, they joyntlytogether ſlew 
(almoſt) all the Britiſh ho fog bo butfew 
of them there remaining ) inthe Towne aforeſaid, 
called of his name Whitgaresburgh. Wolpher King of 
the Mercians reduced This Hand afterwards under 
his obedience, and at that time when he became: 
God-father to Zdelwalch King of the South-Saxons, 
andanſwered for him at his Baptiſme ; he afligned 
it over untohim, with the Province alſo of the Me- 
nuari. Bur when Edelwalch was flaine,and Arvandus 


[a King of the Weft-Saxonsannexeditto his Domini- 
on, and inatragicallandlamentable maſlacre putto 
theſword ( almoſt) every mothers childe of the in- 
borne Inhabitants, | 


Thething tharis beſt worthy note and obſervati- } 


onis this, that Biſhop YYilfz1d was the firſt that'in- 
ſtructed the Inhabitants ofthis 1land in Chriſtian re- 
ligion, and brought them from that Idolatrous Su- 
perſtirion, with the which(unto that time)they were 
obſcurely blinded. 

For Ecclefiaſticall Juriſdiction, this Country be- 
longethto theBiſhop of Y7incheſter, and for Civill 
government to the County of Southampron. It is for- 
tified with the ſtrength of {ixe Caftles, traded with

R-SH [RE. : Chap. 9. 


yOrCrsrxr fromber ancient 
people DuxotrIGEs , is moſt 


,, name : by. the Britaines called 
; Dwacwsarn, and * the 
Saxons Doppevvap, lyeth boun- 
ge ded upon the North fide with 
.  Sommerſet and Wilt-Wiltſbives , 
upon the Welt with Dewon-ſhire, and ſome part with 
Sommerſet , upon the Eaſt altogether with Hamp- 
ſhire ; and her South partis wholly bounded with the 
Britifh$ eas. 
(2) The forme grows wider fromthe Weſt,and 
ſpreads her ſelfe the broadeſtin the midft, where it 
extends to twenty foure miles, but inlengthis no 
lefle thenfourtie foure : the whole in circumference 
about, is one hundred and fifrie miles. 
( 3 ) Theaire is good.,and of an healthfull confti. 


| tution: the ſoyle is fat, affording many commodities, 
and the Countrey moſt pleaſant in her fituation: for 


the In-landis watered with many ſweet 8 freſhrun- 
ning ſprings, which taking paſſage thorow the plaine 
vallies,dolaftly ina loying manner unite themſelyes 
together, and of their many branches make many 
bigge bodied ftreames : neither doth the Sea denie 
them entrance, but helpeth rather to fill up their 
Bankes, whereby Veſſels of burden diſcharge their 
rich Treaſures, and herſelfe withopen hand diftri- 
buteth her gittsall along the South of this 'Shore. 

( 4) Anciently it was poſſeſſed by the Durotriges, 
whom Prolemie placeth s prov in this Tract, who be- 
iovg ſubdued by the Romapes, yeelded them roome, 
and unwilling ſubje&ion. After them the 32xons ſet 
toot in theſeparts, whereof Portland ſeemeth from 
that Port to take name, who in this placearrivedin 
Anno 503. and did ſorely infeft and annoy all the 
South Tract. Andat Bindon before him Kinegllus 
King ofthe Weſt-Sxons, in the yeare of Chriſt 614. 
ina doubtfull and dangerous Battle vanquiſhed the 
Britaines, Neither were the Saxons ſo ſurely herein 
ſeated, but that the Daxes ſought to defeat them 
chereof: for twiſe theſe bold Rewers landed at Chart- 


| mouth, the firſt was in Anno 831. and Raigne of King 


Egbert,and the other eight yeares after, when Ethel- 
welfe was King :-in both which they went away Y- 
Fors. Yet when the 1roz-ſide wore the Engliſh Di- 


to retire, 


likely to have-received that 


adem, and theſe fierce people ſought to plucke it 
from his Helmet, he met them at Pex-ham in Gilling- 
ham Foreſt, and with a ſmall power obtaineda great 
victoric, cauſing their King Canute with diſcourage 


( 5) Commodities ariſing in this Countie are 
chiefly Woalsand Woods in her North, where the Fo- 
reſts are ftored with the one, and the pleaſant greene 
Hilles with the other. The inner part is over-ſpread 
both with Corne and Graſſe,and the Sea yeeldeth the 


plenty of Corn grew, This the Inhabitants call The 
M aiden Caſtle, having entrance thereunto onely upon 
the Eaftand Weſt. This-is thought to have beene a 
Sammer-Campe or Station of the -Romenes, when 
their Garriſens kept the Frontiers of this Province. 

The government of this Citic is yearely commit- 
ted to two Bailiffes, elected out of eight Magiſtrates 
or Aldermen, a Recorder, Towne-Clerke, and two Ser- 
fond attending them: whence the North-poleis e- 
evated go. degrees 48. minutes in Latitude, and for 
Longitude is removed from the firſt Weſt-point 
untothe Meridian of 18.degrees, | 

{ 6) Other places alſoare memorablethrough the 
actions therein happening, or Antiquities there yet 
remaining:ſuch as Badbury,now nothing but a Trench 
and decayed Caſtle, hardly ſeene, though ſometimes 
itwasthe Court ofthe Weſt-Saxons King, Such alſo 
is Cerne, where Auguſtine the Engliſh Apoſtle brake 
downethe Al;ars and dels of the Saxons God HE x, 
whom they devoutly honoured as the only conſer- 
ver of their health. Shaftesburie alſo, wherein one A - 
quits ( whether a Man or Eagle T knownot) by our 
Hiſtorians report, is ſaid to have prophecied the fu. 
ture times of this our Empire, and that after the 
Raignes ofthe Saxoxs and Normans it ſhould againe 
returne unto the government of the Bririfh Kings, 


theoncetaxed by Philip Cominews the famous French 
Writer. Inthis Citie Edward the fonne of great Ed- 
gar, and one and thirtieth Monarch of the EZngli/b- 
men, was interred, being murdered at Corfe, a Caſtle 
ſeatedinthelle of Purbeck,by his Step-mother 4 E- 
frith,to make way for her ſonne to enjoy his Crows - 
in repentance whereof,and to pacific Heavenfor his 


Whorwell, in the Countie of Wilt-ſhire and South- 
Hampton. Intheformer of which with great peni- 
tencie ſhe ſpent the reſt of her life. 


appeaſe the Ghoſt of Edwine his innocent brother, 


But with ſuch vaine predictions our Nation is more | - 


bloud, ſhe built the Aoneferies of Ambresbury and! 


(7 ) As upon the like occafion the Monaftery of 
Middleton was laid in this Shire by King Erhelſtan to 


and toexpiate the fin of his ow ſoule for the blond | 
of thatjuſt Prince, whom moſt unjuſtly he cauſed to 
die:and with the like devotion, though not to ſatisfie 
forthe like bloudy finnes, did Queene Cutbburga ſue 
a Divorce from herſecond husband the Northumber. 
lands King , and at Winburne built her a Nunnery, 
whereof her ſelfe became Fbbeſſe, where afterward 
was raiſed a moſt ftately Minſter, which added not 
onely more glory tothe place, but withallenlarged 
the name, and made it to be called Winburn-minſter, 
where King Ethelred, a moſt vertuous Prince, after | . 
much diſquietnefſe had with the Dayes, in peace. 
here reſteth, with his Tombe and Inſcription, as in 
his Hiftorie (Chriſt affiftiog) ſhall be further ſeene. :

| termed Durzovaris, fituated upon the South ſide of 


lſzdis Plocamos, a Shrub growing not unlike the Cor- 


all to great gaine: which che more is made manifelt 
by the many Market-Townes in this Shire, whereof 
Dorceſter is the chiefe, in CAntonius his Itinerarinm 


Frome,and the Roman Cauſey called Foſſe-way,where- 
in ſome of their Legions kept, as by the Rempiers and 
Coines there daily digged up is probably conjeu- 
red ; at which time it ſeemeth the Citie was walled, 
whereofſome part yet ſtandeth, cſpecially upon the 
Weft and South ſides, and the Tract and Trench 


the River, containing in circuit one thouſandand 


(even hundred paſes, but were caſt downe pr the 
Danes, whoſe trampling feete deſtroyed all things 
whereſoever they came, and hands here razed the 
Trenches Maudbury and Poundbury, the ſeals of their 
Siege, and fignes of times miſerie. About three hun- 
dred piſes Southward from hence, ſtandethan old 
Fortification of earth, trenched about, and mounted 
above the ordinary plaige, thirty paſes, containin 

ſome 5.acres of ground, wherein (at my there being) 


moſt apparent in a Quadrant-wiſe almoſt meeterh. 


As yr 


in the yeare of Grace 704. was made a Biſhops See, 
in whoſe Cathedtall Church, were interred the bo- 


dies of Ethelbal4 and Ethelbert brethren, both of 


them Monarchs of the Zngliſh-men. 
_ (8 ) Seven more beſides theſe were ſet apart from 
worldly imployments, conſecrated only to God and 
his ſervice in this Shire;which were Camerſtern,Cran- 
born, eAbbottesbury, Bindon, Sturmiſter, Tarrant, and 


Warham, Theſe with the others came to their full | 


period under the hand of King Henry the Eight, 
which lay with ſuch waight upon their faire buil- 


dings, that he cruſhed the juice thereofinto hisown | 


Coffers. 

( 9) Caſtles for defence in repaire and decayed, 
were at Sherburne, Dorchefter , Brankſey , Portland, 
Corfe, Newton, Woodford, and Wareham, So that with 
theſeand others the County hath been ſtrengrhned, 
with twelve religious Houſes their poore relieved, 
with eighteene Market Townes at this day istraded, 


and principally into five diviſions parted, ſubdivi- | 


ded into thirty foure Hundreds, and them againe 


into two hundred forty eight Pariſhes, as inthe Map | 


and Table adjoyning is to be ſecne.

the River 7 awar: the Ealt is held in with the verge of Sow- 
wer ſet-Jhire : and the North 8& South ſides are waſhed who-

the Lord Charles Howard, Englands high Admirall, did not 
onely from hence impeach the entrance of the proud in-

(6) Vpon which laſt the chicfe Citie and Shire-Towne 
of this County is ſeated, and from that River hath her name 
Exceſter : this City by Prolemie iscalled Iſca ; by the Itine- 
rary of Antonius Emperour,Iſca Danwonioram ; by the En- 
gliſh Saxons Exancearvep,and Howketon ; and by the Welſb 
Pencaer, It is pleaſantly icatcd upon the gentle aſcent of an 
hil,/o fately for building, ſorich with Inhabitants,ſo frequ:nt 


bout the yeare of Chrilt 787. unto whom Brightrik K. of 


| birth was in this Citie, the caſt of her Ornaments, whoſe 


deſire of Societic ſcarch out their paſſage, till they meete | 


for commerce and concourſe of ſtrangers, that a man can deſire 
nething but there it is to be had,ſaith William of Malmeſbury. 
The wals of this Citic firſt built by Kirig Athe/are, areina 
m:.nner circular or round, but towards the Ex rangeth al- 
moſtin aſtraſoht line, having ſix: Gates for entrance, and

containeth about fiftecne hundred paces : upon the Eaſt 
part of this Citie ſtandeth a Caſtle called Rugemont, ſome-, 
times the Palace of the Yeſff-Saxon Kings,and after them of 
the Earlesof Cormwall, whoſe profpet is pleaſant unto the 
Sea, and over againlt it a moſt magnificent Cathedecall 
Charch, founded by King eAthelf an alſo, in honour of 
S. Peter and by Edward the (onfeſſor made the Bi 
which he remoyed from Crediron or Kirton in this County 
unto the Citie of Exceſter (as faith the priyate Hiſtory of 
that place:)whoſe dilapidations the reverend father in God 
Wiliam now Biſhop of the Dioceſſe with great colt hath re- 
paired z whom I may not name without a moſt thankfull | 
remembranco for the great benefits received by his careful 
providence toward me and mine. This Citic was ſo ſtrong 
and fo well ſtored of Britaines, that they heldout againlt 
the Saxons for 465. years after their firſt entrance, and was 
not abſolutely wonne untill 4the/fav became Monarch of 
the whole, whothen peopled it with his Saxons, and en- 
riched the beautic thereof with many faire buildings: but 
in the times of the Daw/ſ> deſolations this Citic with the 
reſt,fe!t their deſtroying bands; for inth= yeare 875. it was 
by them ſore afflited, _s and ſhaken, and that moſt 
grievoully by Save in the yeare of Chriſt Icſus 1003. who 
razed it downe from Ealt to Welt, fo that ſcarcely had it 
= breath before 1/iiliam the baſtard of Normandy be- 
eged it, againſt whom the Citizens with great manhood | 
ſerved, till a part of the wall fell downe of it ſelfe, and that 


by the hand of Gods providence, faith mine Authour : fince | 


when it hath beene three times b:ſieged, and with yaliant 
reſiſtance ever defended. The firſt wasby Hugh Coreney 
Earle of Devo frire, in the civill broyles betwixt Lancaſter 
and York : then by Perkin Warbeck, that counterfeited R5- 
chard Dake of Tork:and laſtly,by the Corniſh Rebels, where- 
in although tho Citizens were gricvouſly pinched with 
ſcarcitie, yet continued they their faithfull allegiance unto 
King Edward the fixt ; and at this day flouriſheth in tran- 
quillitic and wealth, being governedby a Mayor, twentic» 
fonre Brethren, with a Recorder, Towne-Clerke and other | 
Officers their attendants.This Citics graduation is ſet inthe |

and for Longitude from the Weſt, to the degree 16.and |

Writings bare ſo great credit that they were divulged in 
the Germane language under the name of Cornelins Nepos. 

The like credit got (rediros in her birth-child jingfred,

ſaxs, they make ſoranke and 


OnNnvva'rr (as Mathew of 
2 Weſtminſter affirmeth) is ſo na- 
med, partly from the forme, and 
/ partly from ple: for ſhoot- 
og it ſclfe intothe Scalike a Horne 
( which the Brieaines call Kerne) 
and inhabited by them whom 
BJ the Saxons named Walla ; of 
words it became Cornwallis. Not 
totrouble the Reader with the Fable of Corinews , couſin 
to King Brwte, who ia free gift received this Countic in re- 
ward of his proweſſe for wraſting with the Giant Gog- 
wagog, and breaking hisnecke from the Ciffe of Dover, as 
he of Monmenth bath fabuled. 
( 2 ) Touching the temperature of this Countie,the aire 


worke from off her ——_— where-thorow it be- 
cometh pure and ſubtill, and i made thereby vecy health- 
full, but withall ſo picrcing and ſharpe , that it is apter to 
preſerve then to recoyer health. The ſpring is not fo carly 
as in the more Eaſterne parts; yet the Summer with a tem: 


with their moſt kindly ripening. The Autumne vringeth 
a ſomewhat late harveſt : and the Winter, by reaſon of the 


to ſtormie blaſts, whoſe violenc>- hath freedome from the 
open Wayes, to beat upon the dwellers at Landyleaving ma- 
ny times their houſes uncovered. Si | 


hilles, parted aſunder with natraw and ſhort vallies, and 
a Sea- 
weedcalled Orewoed, and a ccrtaine kinde of fruitfull See- 
more are the riches that out of thoſe hills arc gotten from 
the Adines of Copper and Tine; which Counttey was the 
firſt, and continueth the beſt ſtored ia that Merchandize, 


eth, that the Britaines fetched their Tiune in Wicker- boats, 
ſtitched about with Lether, And Diodorws Siculus of. Au- 
guſts Ceſars time writeth, that the Britaines in this part 
di; ged T inne ont of ftony ground, which by Merchants was 


| carricd into Gallia , and thence to Narbone, as it Were to 4 


Mart. Which howſoever the Englifs- Saxons negleAcd, 


| yet the Normans made great benefit, thereof, eſpecially 


Richard brother to King Henry the third , who was t arle 
of {ornWvall,and by thoſe Tinne-workes became cxceeding- 


| ly richz forthe incurſions of the Adoores having ſtopped up 


the Tinne- Afinesin Spaine, and them in Germanie not dif» 
coycred before the ycare of Chriſt 1 240. theic in Cornwal 
ſupplycd the want inall parts of the world. This Earle 
made certaine T inne-Lawes , which with liberties and pri» 
viledges were confirmed by Earle Edmwnd bis ſonne. And 
in the dayes of King Edward the third,the Common» weale 


a Lord Warden of the Stanniers appointed their Iudge. 

(4) The Borders of this Shire on all parts bat the Eaſt 
isbound in with the Sca's and had Tamer drawn his courſe 
but foure rniles further to the North , betwixt this Conntie 
and Devon. ſuire, it might have been rather accounted an 
11ard, then ſtood with the Adayne. Her length is from 
Laxnfion to the Land-end , containing by meaſure ſixtic 


'| miles: and the broadeſt part;ſtretching along by the Tamer, 


is fully fortic, leſſening thence ſtill lefler like a horne. 

(5) The ancient Inhabitants knowne to the Romavs, 
were the Daxmonii , that ſpread themſclves further into 
Deveneſhire alſo, by the report of Diodorus Siculus, a moſt 
courteous and civill people : and by Michael their Poet ex- 
tolled tor valowr and ſtrength of limmes: nor therein doth 
he take the libertie that Pocts arc allowed, to adde tothe 
ſubje& whereof they write, but trucly reporteth what we 
lee by them performed , whoin attivitic ſurmount many 
other Co 

ho Heathen Saxons had ſeated themſelyesin the 
beſt of this Land, and forced the Chriſtian Britaines into 
theſe rockie parts, then did Coruwall abound in Serts, un» 
to whoſe honour moſt of the Churches were erected, by 
whoſe names they are yet knowne and called. To ſpeako 
nothing of Vrſ»la that Counties Dukes daughter, with her 


companie of canonized Virgin-Saints, that arc now repu-

tothe raigne of King Athelftane they held out againſt the 
Saxons, who ſubduing thoſe Wefterne parts, made T amer 
the Bounder betwixt them and his E=g{5ſ, whoſe laſt 
Earle of the Britiſh Bloud was called Candorm. 

(6) But Filiem the Baſtard created Robert (his halfe- 
brother-by Herlort« their mother ) the firſt Eark of the 
Norman: race: and EdWwardthe Blacks Prince, the ninth 
from him, was by his Father King Edward the third inyeRt- 
cd the firſt Dake of Cornwall, which Title eyer fince hath 
continued in the Crowne. 

(7) The commodities of this Shire, miniſtred both by 
Seaand Sole, are many and =_ : for beſides the abun- 
dance of Fſs that doe ſuffice the Inhabitants, the Pilcherd

nefle of ſight,are theſe : Ar Boskenne upon the ms" 


of her Promontory,is a Trophy erected, which are eighteene | 


Stones placed round in compaſſe , and pitched twelye foot 
each fromethers, with another farre bigger in the very cen- 
ter. Theſe doc ſhew ſome Victory there attained, either 
by the Rowens, or elſe King Athelſtaxe. At the foot of the 
Rocks neere unto S. Michaels ownt,in the memory of our 
Fathers, were diggcd up Speare-heads, 4xes, and SWords of 
Braſſe, wrapped in linnen, tho weapons that the (3mbrians 
and ancient Bricainesancicntly uſed. | 
At Camelfordikewiſc pzeces of Armour: beth for horſe 
and man ,' arc many times found in digging of the ground, 
imputed tobe the fignes of that fight wherein AMordred 
was ſlaine, and whercin great Arthwr received his deaths 
wound. And at Caſtie-Dennys arc the Trenches wherin the 
Daves lodged when they firſt minded to ſubdue the Land. 
In the Pariſh S.C/are, twoſtonesare pitched, one of them 
inſcribed with a (trange CharaQter, and the other called tbe 
other halfe ſtone : the formes whereof we have cxpreſſedin 
the Mappe. The Hwrlers alfo,tabuled tobe men metamor- 
ſed into ſtones ; but in truth ſhew a note of ſome victos

But neere to Pexſavs, and unto Aſownts: bay, a farre more 


ſtrange Rocke ſtandeth, namely, Iain Amber, which lycth |

TV1lt-ſbire, riſethupintodeleRable hils, attired with 
large woods,and watered with cleare Rivers, where- 
of 1ſis is one, which ſoone becometh the moſt 
famous in the Land. The South part is more even, 
yeelding abundantly grafle and corne, and is made 
che more fruitfull by the Rivers ily, Adder, and A- 
vou. The midft of this County is moftplaine, and 
chereby is knowne and commonly called Saleſbury- 
Plaines;andlie ſolevell indeed, that it doth limit the 
Horizos : for hardly cana manſee from the one fide 
co the other. Theſe Plaines graſean infinite number 
of ſheepe, whoſe fleeces and fleſh bring inan yeare- 
ly revenew to their owners. 

( 5 )- Anciently this County waspoflefſed by the 
Belge, who are ſeated by Prolemy in Hamp-ſhire, So- 
merſer-ſhire, andinthis Tract ; and they (as it ſeem- 
eth by Ceſar) were of the Belge in Gaul. Theſe (as 
ſome hold) were ſubdued by Yeſþaſiay, Lieutenant 
of the ſecond Legion under Clasdius, when the 
foundations of his tuture greatneſſe were in theſe 
parts firſt laid by his many vicories over the B7i- 
taines. And herein ſurely the Romans ſeated; for be- 
ſides YT anesburie Trench,by tradition held to be his, in 


footing hath beene left, and the ftamped Coines of 
their Emperours found, an apparent teftimonie of 
their abode. _ | 

(5s) After themthe Weſ-Saxons made ita part of 
their Kingdome,whoſe border was Avon, as witneſ- 
ſeth 4thelward, though the Mercians many times en. 
croched upon them, whereby many great battles, as 
Malmſbury tels us, betwixt them were fought, when 
in the young yeares of their Heptarchie each ſought 
to enlarge his, by the leflening of the next : but 
growne unto more ripeneſſe, they aftigned their li- 
mits by agreatavd long ditch croffing thorow the 
middeſt of theſe Plaines, which for the wonder ther- 
of is ſuppoſed by the vulgar to bethe worke of the 


where a little village yet ftandeth, and retaineth to 
name Wodens-burg. At thisplace, in Anno ggo. Cean- 
lin the Weſt-Saxon, received ſuch a foyle of the Bri- 
£4/nes, and his Country-men, that he was forcedto 


becomming a pitifull ſpeRacle even unto his ene- 
mies. And io this place 1a the Weſt-Saxos joyned 
Battle with Ceolred the Mercia, whence both of them 
departed withequalllofſe. The like was at Bradford 
by Kenilwach and Cuthred , at Wilton, betwixt Egbert 
and Beornwolfe; at Edindon, where K. Elfred was van- 


wonne the day againſt him. With as bloudy ſuc- 
cefle, though nor happening by ſword, wasthe if-

of the Clergie. 


many other Forts in this Shire the Tract of their 


Dewil,and is called of all, Wanſdike, undoubtedly of 
| Voden, the Saxons Anceſtor and great reputed God, 


where being hotly debating for theſingle life, and 


the Word to prove their divorce, was fi 
a Stratagem,and that very bloudy ; forſuddenly the 
main timber brake, and dawne fellthe floore with 


mots, whereby a greatnumber were hurt, and man 
more lain; onely Dunſtan the Preſident and mouth: 
for the Monks, eſcaped untouched, rhe Joift where- 
on his chaire Rood tematning moſt firme : which 
confirmed the ſentence of their ſe ions, whom | 
God hadconjoyned, and became the fall and ſnare 
of much incontinencie inboth ſexes: _ 

(7 ) The chicfeſt Citie of this Shire is Salesbury, 
removed from a higher, but a far more conyenient 
place ; whoſe want of water was not ſo great in the 
mother, as is ſupplied and repleniſhed in the daugh- 
ter, every ftreet almoſt having a River running tho- 
row her middeſt ; and for ſumptuous and delicate 
buildings, is inferiour tonone. The Cathedrall, a 
| moſt rich magnificent Church, was begun by R#- 
chard Poore, Biſhop, and with fourty yeares continu-| 
ance was raiſed to her perfe@ beauty : wherein areas 
many windowes as there aredayes in the yeare; as 
many caſt pillars of marble as there are houres in 
the yeare, andas many gates for entrance as there 
are moneths in'theyeare. Neither doth this Citic 
retaine true honour to her ſelfe, but impartethhers, 
and receiveth honour from others who are entitu 
led Earles of Salesbury, whereof eight noble Fami. | 
lies have been dignified fince the Normans Conqueſt, 
and now is enjoyed by that moſt wiſe and loyall 
| Counſellor Robert Cecil, Lord high Treaſurer of 
England,and the worthy Patron of the place where- 
of my ſelfe am a member, This Cities fituation is 
inthedegree of Latitude 5x. 10.minntes, and from | 
the firſt Weft point obſerved by Mercator, 18. de- 
grees and 3x, minutes of Longitude, 

(8) Overthis,old Salesburyſheweth it ſelfe, where 
Kenrik overcame the Britains, and where Canutws the 
Dane did great dammge by fire. This formerly had 
been the ſeat ofthe Romans: as likewiſe was Lecham, 
as by their Coines digged up is apparant: ſo were 
Brokenbridge and Coſham, the Courts of the Saxor 
Kings. But Fortune long fince hath turned her face 
from alltheſe, as lately ſhe did from many ancient 
and religious foundations planted in this Province, 
whereof Malmesbury was the moſt famous. I will not 
with «Monmouth ayouch the foundation thereof nn- 
to cHulmutizs, but by true records from WMaidulph 


Cell, and led an Hermits life, whereof Beda calleth it 
the Citie of M4/4u{ph,and we by contraCtion, Malmſ- 
bury. CAdelme his diſciple and fucceſſour, built here, 
a faire Monaſterie , which Athelffay the Monarch 
richly endowed, and left his body afterdeaththere 
to reſt, Neither hath any graced this more then W/- 
liam her Monk, in recording topofterities the Chro- 


thoſe Hiſtories. | 
(9s) Ambresbury for repute did ſecond this, built 


of murder which ſhe committed upon young E4- 
ward herſonne in Law, that hers might be King. In 
this place Queene Eleanor, widow to King Henry the | 
third, renounced allroyall pompe, arid devoted her 
ſelfe untoGod in the habit ofa Nunne. Other pla- 
ceserected for piety, were at Salesbnrie, Lacock, Stan- 
lege,Wilton, Ivicharch, Farnleg, Bradſtocke, Briopune, 
and Bromhore. Theſe grafts grown to full greatneſſe, 


thereof ſhould infe&t the whole body (as by them 
was alledged) and their Revenewes beſtowed upon 
farre better uſes, both for the bringing up of youth, 
andthe mainrenance of eftate. |

E& whether of the Boxwoods there 
WEB fired, according to the eenſure 
—@ Of Aſſerius raw th or from 
P anakedand beareleſle 0ke-tree, 
"& whercunto the people uſually 
reſorted in troubleſometimes, 


the County along time hath beene ſo called, and 
bounded with other in manner as followeth : The 
North-part isparted by Thamiſis from Buckingham 
and Oxford ſhires;the South neere Kennet doth traft 
upon Hampſhire ; the Eaft is confined with the 
Countie of Surrey ; andthe Welt with Wil:ſbire and 
Gleceſter-ſhire is held in. 
2) The formofthis Shire doth ſomewhat reſem- 
| ble a $4ndall fora mans foot, lying longwiſe from 
Eaſt to Weſt, in whichpart ſhe is broadeſt, the mid- 
| dle moſt narrow, and then ſpreading wider like to 
the heele : though for her rich endowments and 
ſtately magnificence it may well be accountedthe 
heart ofthe whole, 
(3) The length thereof from Izgleſham in the 
Weft, to old Windſor in the Eaft, extendeth unto 
fortie miles ; from Inkpen toWightham,the broadeſt 
part fromiSouth to North are twenty foure , the 
| whole in circumference, about one nndred and 
twentie. 
(4) The Ayre is temperate, ſweet, and delight- 
full, and proſpe for pleaſure inferiour to none;the 
Soyleis plenteous of Corne, efpeciallyin the Vale 
of White-horſe, that yeeldeth yeerly an admirable 
encreaſe, In a word, for Corne and Cattle, Waters 
and Woods, of profit and pleaſure, it gives place 
unto none. 
(s) HerancientInhabitants,by Prolemy and Ce- 
ſar, were the Artrehatii, and them of thoſe that de- 
ſcended from Gallis,among whom Comin (conque- 
red bythe Dictator) wasof good refpe&, and could 
doe much with the Britaines, who (as Frontinus re- 
porteth) uſed this ſtratagem, though it proved no- 
thingat laſt: he flying before Ceſar to recover aid of 


fromtheir roaving Pinaces pierced into theſe parts, 
& at Redding fortified themielyes betwixt the rivers 


Kennet and Themiſis, whither after their great over- 


thelwolfe,they retired for their further ſafetie.

it wasaplace of the Romanes abode,and 
ce in a conceived faletie hath made many very 
bold, eſpecially when the fparkes of England: civill 
difſentions were forced to flame in caſe of the 
Crown, betwixt Maud the Empreſſe and King Stephen, 
whither her ſelfe and affociates reſorted as their ſu- 
reſt defence. 

(8) But of farre greater magnificence and ſtate is 
the Caftle of Windſor, a moſt Princely Palace, and 
Manfion of his Majeſtie. Iwill not with 7effrey af. 
firmeit to be built by King Arthur, but with better 
authoritie fay, it wasſo thirſted after by the Congue- 
rowr,that by a compoſition with the Abbot of Weſt- 
minſter, whoſe then it was, he ; LINgs: 
Poſſeſlio,as a place beſides the pleaſures, very com- 
modious to entertain the King, In this Caftle that 
victorious Prince K. Edward the third was born; and 
herein after he had ſubdued the French and Scots, 
held he at one and the ſame time, as his Priſoners, 
Tohn King of Erance,and David K. of Scotland. Nei- 
ther was it ever graced with greater Majeftie, then 
by the inſtitution of the moſt honourable Order of 
the Garter,a ſignal Ornament of Martiall Proweſle: 
the invention thereof ſome aſcribe to be from a 
Garter falling from his Queene, or rather from 19ax 
Counteſfle of Salibury, a Lady of an incomparable 
beautie, as ſhe danced before him, whereat the by- 
ſanders ſmiling, he gave the imprefle tocheckeall | 
evil conceits, andin golden Letters imbelliſhed the 
Garter with this French Poeſte, Hox x SorT Qv1 
Marty PzNss. Andyet that worthy Clarenceaux 
alledging the booke of the firſt inſtitution, finds the | 
inventionto be more ancient, as when King Richard 
the firſt warred againft the Turkes, Saracens, Cypres, 
and 4con,he girt the legs ofcertaine choiſe Knights 
with a tache of leather, which promiſed a future 
glory to the wearers. The moſt Princely Chappell 
thereof is graced with the bodies of thoſe twogreat 
Kings, Hepry the fixt, and Edward the fourth, whom 
the whole Kingdome was too little tocontaine, the 
| one of Lancaſter, the other of Yorke, where they reſt 
now united in one mould, with a branch of both 
thoſe Houſes,even King Herry the Eight who there 
lyethalſo interred, and reſts in the Lord. 

(9) Other places of note in this Shire are $:nodum 
inthe North, and Wathamin the Eaft, both of them 
places ofthe Remares reſidence, as by their Monyes 
there oftentimes found appeareth. Neither was Sun- 
poo. de leaſt in this Tra&k,that had beenthe Seat of 
eight Biſhops before the Sec was tranſlated thence 
unto Shirburne, or that to Salibury. Wantage alſo is 
not wanting of hotiour, in bringing to life that learn- 
ed and moſt valiant King Ealfred,the ſcourge of the 
Danes,and great Monarch ofthe Engliſh. And Finch- 
hamſted for wonder inferiour to none, where (as our 
Writers doe witnefſe) that in the yeerea thouſand 
one hundred, a VVell boyled up with ftreames of 
bloud, and fifteene dayes together continued that 
ſpring,whoſe waters made red all others where they 
came, to the great amazement of the beholders.

(6) This Town King Hepry the firſt moſt ftately 
beautified with a rich Monaſterie and ftrong Caſtle, 
where, in the Collegiate Church ofthe Abbey, him- 
) i for Gods divine ſervice, and their exemptions from 
with their daughter Maud the Empreſle, called the 
' Lady of England,were interred, as the private Hiſto- 
rie oftheplace ayoucheth, though others beſtow 
the bodies of theſe two Queenes elſewhere. The 
Caſtle King Henry the ſecond razed tothe ground, 
becauſe it was the refuge for the followers of King 
| Stephen. From whence the North-Pole is raiſed in 
Latitude 51. degreesand 40. minutes,and in Longi- 
tudefromthefirft VVeſt-point obſerved by Merca- tay graced with three of his Majeſties moſt Prince- 


(7) A Caftle and Towne of greater ſtrength and 
antiquitie was Wallingford, by Antonine and Ptolemie 
called Gallena,the chiefeſt Citie ofthe Atrrebatians, 


(x0) The riches and ſweet ſeats that this Coun- 
tieaffordeth, made many devout perſons to ſhew | 
their devotions unto true pietie, inereCting places 


all worldly bufinefle : ſuch were Abington, Redding, 
Bijhaws, Bromehall, Henley, Hamme, and Wallineford, 
whoſe 7otaries abuſing the intents oftheir Fouders, 
overthrew both their own Orders and places of pro- 
feſſions; all which were diſſolved by .1# of Parlia- 
ment,and given the King to diſpoſe at his will. 

This Shires diviſion is into twenty Hundreds;and

Barklow,(belides thehils mounted for their burials)

the Royall ſeat of Cunobelin King of the T rinobants, 
as by his mony therein minted appeareth,about the

Colony of fouldiers, which were called 7i&ricenſis, 
This City Queene Bowe, in revenge of her wrongs, 
razed to the ground, what time ſhe ſtirred theirpeo-

the teeth of a giant weokaad (if they were not of 
an Elephant) of a marvellous ſize (faith Ralph Cogge-

more bones to the like wonder were digged up.

C VrrOLxs, by tho Saxons called | 
Su's- polc,in regardofthem which 
were ſcated in Norfolke, is a 
Country moſt plentecous and plea- 
fant for habitation. Tt is ſeparated 
from Norfelke, by the Rivers of 
- the leſſer Oxſe, and Wavency, 
whoſe heads meet almoſt in the 
mid(t of her Verge, and that very 
neer together : the one taking courſe Eaſt, and the other 
tall Welt, upon which part Cambriage-ſzire doth wholly 
confront. The South fide is ſeyered by Stoxre from Eſſex, 
and the Eaſt together waſhed with the Germane Seas. 
(2) The Aire isgood,ſweet,and deleable, and in ſome 
parts, of ſome of our beſt Phyſicians, held to be thebeſt in 
the Land : the Soile is rich, fruitfull, and with all things 
wellrepleniſacd ;ina word, nothing wanting for pleaſure 
or profit. 
( 3) The forme thereof is fomewhat (reſſaxt, ſhooting 
upnarrower into the North, and ſpreading wider towards 
the South, whoſe breadeſt part is about twenty miles : but 
from Faſt to Weſt much more; for from Eaſton point (the 
furtheſt of this Shire, yea of all Britaize into the Sea) unto 
great Oxſe River, her- Weſterne bounder, are fourtie five 
miles, and the whole in circumfcrence,about one hundred 
fourtic-lixc. | 
(4) Anciently this part of the Tland was poſſeſſed by 
the /ceni, who as it ſeemeth by Tacitms, joyned in Amitic 


with wars before thereigne of Claudins, but then by Oſt» 

rius were vanquiſhed, though not without great ſlaughter ; 
of the Romanes ; and ina Battl= againſt them, 4.,Oſtorins | 
the ſonne of the General, wonne great honour in ſaving | 
of a Romane Citizens life ; ſo ready were they to give and 

receive Honours to themſelves, but ſleightly to paſſe over 

and to ſmoother farre greater exploits of the Brztaines : 

which notwithſtanding long in theſe parts they could not 

do: for the wrongs of the Icenians growing intolerable, 

who by the Rowane Souldiers were put out of their right- 

full poſſeſſions, their Princes accounted no .better then 

Slaves, and their Queene whipped in melt igriominious 

manner ; under Bodxathey ht theirrevenge,as inthe 

Hiſtoric (Chriſt aſſiſting) ſhall be further related. 

Next to theſe [cenians, were the Saxons that got their 

footing into theſe parts, and of them, this with Norfolke, 
Cambridge-ſvire,and the 1leof Ely, was made their Eaſt- 


——_— 


either to the ercians, or to the Kings of Kent : whoſe 
off-ſpring ending in S. Edmund the Martyr, after the Daves 
had laid it moſt deſolate, Edward the Elder ſubdued it unto 
his Weſt-Saxons Monarchy : and that likewiſe ending in 
King Edward the Confeflor,many noble Normans got their 
poſleſſionsin theſe parts, whoſe Oft-ſpring are plentcoully 
repleniſhed in this Shire to this day. = 

(5 ) The commoditiesof this Shire are many and great, 
whereof the chicfeſt conſiſteth in Corne, in Cattle, Cloth, | 
Paſturage,Woods,Sca-Fiſh and Fowle ; and as Abbo Florie- 
cenſis hath depainted, this Connty us of green and paſſing freſ» 
hue,pleaſantly repleniſhed with Orchards,Gardens & Groves: 
thus he deſcribed it above ſixe hundred years ſince, and now 
we findas he hath faid ; to which we may adde their gaine 
from the Paile, whoſe Cheeſes are traded not only through» 
out England, but into Germany, France, and Spaine, and arc 
highly commended by Pantaleon the Phyſician, both for 
clo and taſte. RELIED: 

(6) And had 1pſWwich (the onely eye of this Shire) been 
as fortunate in her Surname, as ſhe is bleſſed with Com- 
merce and buildings, ſhe might worthily have borne the 
title of a Citiez neither ranked inthe loweſt rowe, whoſe 
trade,circuit,and ſeat,; doth equall moſt places of the Land 
beſides» 

It ſeemeth this Towne hath beene walled about, both 
| by a Rampire of earth,mountedalong her. North and Welt 
parts, and places of entrance whete gates haye ſtood ; 
which no doubt, by the Danes were calt downe, in the 
yeare of Chriſt Jeſus, g9t. when they lacked withſpoyle all 
theſe Sca-coalts :and again in. the yeare one thouſand , laid 
the ſtreets deſolate,and the houſes on heaps : yet afterwards 


with the Remanes,a mighty people (faith he)and never ſpaken |. 


recovering both: breath and beauty , her buildings from | 
| Stoke-Churchin the South, to S. Margarets in the North,

Pariſh-Charches ſeated,beſides them ſuppreſſed ; ſuch were 
Chriſt-Church, S, Georges, S. Tames, the White, the Blacke 
and Grey-Friers, The vite of this Towne is removed from 
the Equator,unto the degree 5 2, 25 minutes : and by Mer»

9. minutes : andis yearely governed by two Bailiffes, and 
ten Port- men, all wearing Scarlet, with twenty foure of 
their Common-Counſell in Purple : a Recorder, a Towne- 
Clerke, five Sergeants, whereof one is for the Admiraltic, 
a Beadle, and Common-Crier, all in blew, with the Towns 
Armes on their Sleeves. 

The other Eye of this Shire isthe$ axons Bevenic- 
zueoFd. By Abbe the Royall Towne,wherein at the day- 
breake of the Saxons converſion, Sigebert King of the Eaſt 
Angles founded a Chriſtian Church : and upon the occaſion 
of King Edmands buriall (who at Hoxox was ſhot to death) 
hath been eyer ſince called S. Edmwnd:- bury, where was 

built to his honoar one of the faireſt Monaſteries in the" 
_ hegunby King ('a»zte, much afftighted with the 
eem 
the ſacrilegious impietic of his Father Szenx, enriched the 
place with many endowments, and offered up his owne | 
Crowne upon the holy Martyrs Tombe. For the beautic 
and buildings of this Abbey and Towne, let Ley/and for me. 
declare: The Sunne(faith he)hath not ſeen a Citie more finely 
ſeated, ſo delicately upon the eafie aſcent of an hill, with a River | 


prareth rather a City then a Monaſtery, ſo many Gates for en- 
terance, and ſome of them braſſe, ſo many Towers, and a moſt 
glorious (burch, upon which attend three others, landing all 
in the ſame Church-yard all of them paſſing fine, and of a curi.

their fall, moving the beholders to pitic their caſe. 


| Neere unto this Town a great Battle was fought by Re» 


Henry the ſecond : but was worthily overcome by Richard | 
Lacy, the Kings bigh Toſtice, himſelf and wife taken, with 
many Flemings and Engligſhmen ſlaine. A x

allo Ek the Coaſt, be counted Champion : the reſt (as better furniſhed 
with woods) Wood-land, The Champion aboundeth with Corne, Sheepe, 
and Conies, and herein the barren Heaths ( as the providence of our 
Anceſtors hath of old diſpoſed them) are very profitable. For on them ' 
principally lie our Fould courſes, called of the Saxons (whoſe inſtitution 
they therefore ſeem to be) palopocun,thatis, Liberty of fold or fouldage. 
Theſe Heaths by the Compaſture of the —_ (which we call Tathe)

of Lei and Tarmouth be the mother Ports, and of great trafhque : Wels

yi ſed to be of them 
whom (ear nameth Cenimagni ; Prolemic, Simenm ; ſome Tigeni, Their 
manners were likely to be as the reſt of the Britaines, barbarous at thoſe 
times, as appeareth by Ceſar and Tacitus.. Neither can I otherwiſe com- 
mend their Succeſſours the Saxons ; for ſo alſo theit owne Country- 
man Ethelwerd termeth them. Since the entry of the Normans, they 
haye been counted civill and ingenious, apt to good Letters, adorning 


Religion with more Churches and Monatteries then any Shire of Eng- 


lend; and the Lawes and Seats of Juſtice (for many ages) with ſome ex- 
cellent men ; from whom moſt of our chiefe Families, and ſome of the 
greateſt Nobility of the Kingdome, have taken advancement. And here- 
in is Norfolke fortunate, that as (Yete boaſted of an hundred Cities, ſo 
may ſhee of an hundred Families of Gentlemen, never yet (that ſearch- 
ing [ can find) attainted of high Treaſon. How the government of this 
Country was about Cefers time, is uncertaine, but (agreeable,no doubt, 
to the reſt of the Britaines) under ſome per Toparch or Regulus, as 
Tacitus termeth him. The latter Romans held it by two Garriſons, one at 
Gariamum neere Tarmouth ; the other at Branodunum, now called Bran- 
caſtre, both of horſe, and commanded by the Comes Maritimi Traftus, as 
Marcellinus calleth him, termed after Comes Littoris Saxonicj. Upon the 
entry of the $axons, this County with Suffolke fell in __—_—_ of the 
Angles, and about the yeare 561. were together ereRed into a King- 
dome by offs, of whom the ſucceeding Kings were tituled Vffines. But 
having ſuffred many Tempeſts of Fortune, 1t wasin yeare 870. utterly 


waſted and extin& by Hungar and Hubba the Danes, who overthrew the | 


yertuous King Edmund about Thetford, and after martyred him at S.Ed- 
mundsbury. Yer they did not long enjey it : for King Edwerd ſhortly re- 
covered it from them, and annexed it to his other Kingdomes. The Danes 


notwithſtanding inhabited abundantly in theſe parts, ſo that many of 


our Townes were founded by them, and a great part of our people and 
Gentry are riſen out of their blood. 

( 4) This KingJome of Eaft- Angles was after allotted to an Earle- 
dome of that name by William the Conquerour, who made Radulph a Bri-

| eſteeme : for I:accept not the Relations of the Antiquitie and ſlate of F--14 


Norwich in the time of the Britaines and Saxens,though Alexander Nevil 
bath well graced them. Her very name abridgeth her Antiquitie, as h4- 
ving no other in Hgſories but Norwich, which is meere Saxon or Daniſh, 
and ſignifieth the North-Towne,Caftlegor winding of a River. It ſeemeth 
to haye riſen out of the decay of her neighbour Venta, now called Caſtor, 
and as Maſter Cambden noteth, not to have beene of marke before the 
entry of the Danes, whoin the yeare 1004. under Sweno their Captaine, 
firſt ſackt, and then burnt it, even-in her infancie. Yet in the dayes of 
Edward the Confeſſor it recovered to 12.20, Burgefſes. But maintaining 
the cauſe of Earle Radulph aforeſaid againft the Conquerour, they were 


\ _ | by famineand ſword waſted to 560. at which time the Earle eſcaping 


by Ship, his Wife upon compoſition yeelded the Caſtle, and followed. 
In Willian-Ryfus time it was growne famous for Merchandize and con- 
courle of people ; ſo that Herbert then tranſlating the Biſhopricke from 
Thetford thither, made each of them an ornament to other. In variety 
of times it felt much variety of fortune : By fire in Anr.o 1508, By ex- 
treame plagues, whereof one in An. 1348. was fo outrageous,as 5710 4. 
are reported to have dyed thereof between the Calends of January and 
of July. By miſery of warre,as ſacked and ſpoyled by the Earle of Flaun- 
ders and Hugh Bigod, Anno 1174. In yeelding to Lew the French, 
againſt their naturall Lord King Fobn, Anno 1216. By the difinherited 
Barons, Anno 1266. By tumult and inſurreAon between the Citizens 
and Church-men : once about the yeare 1265, which if Henry the third 
had not come in perſon to appeaſe,the Ciry was in hazard to be ruined : 
The ſecond time in Anno 1446. for which the Major was depoſed, and 
their Liberties for a while ſeiſed, In Edward the fixths time, by Ketts 
rebellion, whoſe fury chiefly raged againſt this City. Since this it hath 
flouriſhed with the bleſſings of Peace, Plentie, Wealth, and Honour : ſo 
that Alexander Nevil doubteth not to preferre it above all the Cities of 
England, except London, Ir is ſituate upon the River Hier, ina pleaſant 
valley, but onrifing ground, having on the Eaſt the Hilles and Heath 
called Muſſold fot Mofſ-wold, as I take it. In the ſeventeenth yeare of 
King Stephen it was new founded, and made a Corporation. In Edward 
the firſts time cloſed-with a faire Wall, ſaving on a part that the River 
defendeth. Firlt governed by foure Bayliffes ; then by Henry the fourth 
in Anno 1403. ereted intoa Majoralty and County ; the limits where- 
of now extend to Eaton-bridge. At'this preſent it hath about thirty Pa- 
riſhes, but in ancient time had many more, 

(6) Lenn having been an ancient Borrough under the government 
of a Bayliffe or Reve, called Pretofitus, was by King Fohn in the fixt 
yeare of his Reigne made Liber Burgus, and (befides the gift of his me- 
morable Cup, which to this day honoureth this Corporation) endowed 


of his Reigne (in recompence of their ſervice againſt the out-lawed Ba- 

rons in the Iſle of Ely) enlarged their Charter, and granted them fur- 

ther, to chooſe a Major Loco Prapofti : unto whom King Henry the eight, 
in the ſixteenth yeare of his Reigne, added twelve Aldermen, a Re- 

corder, and other Officers, and the bearing of a Sword before the 

Major. But the Towne comming after to the ſame King, he in the nine 

and twentieth yeare of his Reigne, changed the name, from Lenn Epiſco- 

pi, to Lenn Regs. 

(7) Tarmouth is the Key of the Coaſt, named and ſeated by the 
mouth of the River Tere. Begun in the time of the Danes, and by 
acceſſions growing ous, made a Corporation under two Bayliffes 
by King Henry the third, and by his Charter, about the fifteenth yeare of 
his Reigne, walled. It is an ancient member of the Cinque Ports, very 
well =. and fortified, having only one Church ( but faire and large) 
founded by Biſhop Herbert, in William Rufus dayes. It maintaineth a 
Peere againſt the Sea, at the yearely charge of five hundred pound, or 
thereabout : yet hath it no poſſeſſions, as other Corporations, but like 
the children of Acolus and Thetis, Maria & 4. ventos, as an Inquiſitour 
findeth, Anno 10. Henry third. There is yearely in September the wor- 
thieſt Herring-fiſhing in Europe, which draweth great concourſe of peo- 
ple, and maketh the Towne much the richer all the ycare, but very un- 
avoury for the time. The Inhabitants are ſo courteous,as they have long 
held a cuſtome to feaſt all perſons of worth, repairing to their Towne. 

(8) The Biſhoprik ot Norwich had firſt her ſeat at Dunwich in Suf- 
folke, and was there begun by Felix, who converted this County, and 


[NS 


t4ine,marrying his kinſwoman,Ealre thereof ; but gave the greateſt parts 


of this County about #/imondbam, Keninghall, Lenn, Burneham, Fulmer- | 


ſton, &c. to W. de Albany, Pincerne, and W. de Warranna Forreftario. 
who to ſtrengthen themſelves (according to the uſe of that time) with 
the homage and ſervice of many Tenants, divided large portions of the 
ſame amongſt their friends and followers ; ſo that molt of the Manours 
and Lands 1n the parts aforeſaid, were in thoſe dayes either mediatly, or 
immediatly holden of one of them, And as Norfolke and Suffolke were 
firſt united in a Kingdome, then in an Earledome, ſo they continued 
_ -- the Sheriffewicke till about the fifteenth yeare of Queene 
Elizabeth. 

C 5) The Townes here are common]y well built, and populeus ; 
three of them being of that worth and quality, as no one Shire of Eng- 
land bath the like, Norwich, Lenn, and Tarmouth : to which for ancient 
reputation (as having been a ſeat of the Kings of Eaſft-Angles) I may 
ade Thetford, knowne to Antoninzs, and elder ages, by the name of Si- 
tomezus, when the other three were yet in their infancie, and of no

the Exft- Angles to the Faith. Being brought out of Burgundy by Sigebert 
(the ficſt Chriſtian King of the Exſt-Angles) he landed at Babingley by 
Lenn,and there builded the firſt Church of theſe Countries which in his 
memoryis at this day called by his Name, The ſecond he bvi)t at Sharn- 
bourn then of wood, and therefore called Stock-Chappell. After Felix 
and three of his Succeſſours, this Biſhoprick was divided into two Sees : 
the one with eleven Biſhops in ſucceſſion, continuing at Durwich , the 
other with twelve at Elmhamt in Northfolke. Then united againe'in the 
time of King Edzyn, the entire See for twelve. other Biſhops remained 
at Elmbam, and in the Co urs time was by his Chaplaine Arfaſtus 
(being the thirteenth), tranſlated to Thetford, from thence by Heybers 
(his next ſuccefſour ſave one) bought of William Rufus for nineteene 
hundred pounds, and brought to Norwich. This Herbert (ſurnamed Lo- 


finge a Norman) buitded the Cathedrall Church there, and endowed it 
with large poſſeſſions. Not far from thence hee alſo builded another 


| Church to S. Leonard, a third at Elmbam, a fourth at Len, (S. Marzarets, 


a very faire one) and the fifth at Tarmonth before mentioned. By the 
Catkedrall Church he builded a Palace for the Biſhops, and founded 
the Priory there ( now converted to Peane and Chapter) and another 
Priory at Thetford. Since his time the Biſhops See bath immoveably re- 
mained at Norwich, but the ancient Poſſeſſions are ſevered from it, and 
in lieu thereof the Abbey and Lands of S. Bencdif of Holme annexed to 
it. = Commodities of this County I have contained in theſe foure

Of this City,in the yeer of Chriſt Jeſus 141. as the |

Athens,)the Danes in their deſtruCtions regarded no

& by Eſſex; upon the Soath, is 
6 confined with Middleſex, and

| ww wv hamand Bedfordfhives. 
(2) The: forme thereof is ſomewhat circular, 
with many indents to fetchinthoſe Towns that are 
diſperſedl ftragled into her next $hire : whereof 
Roifton and Totteridge are the two extremes from 
North to South, betwixt whom in a ftrait drawne 
line are twenty ſeven Engliſh miles,and from Putnans 
Weſtward,to Cheſton Nunvery in the Eaſt, are twenty 
eight ; the whole circumference, about an hundred 
and thirty miles. 
(z) 'Theayreis temperate, ſweet,and healthfull, 


as ſeated in a Climate neither too hot, nor too cold: her 


the ſoyleis rich, plenteous,and delightfull,yeelding 
abundance of Cory, Cattle, WVood & Grafſe,deftitute of 
nothing that miniftreth profit or pleaſures for life, 
which are more augmented by the many Rivers that 
ariſeand run thorow this Shire, watering herowne 
and others,till they emptie theinſelyes into the Sea. 
| (4) Her ancient Inhabitants in the time of the 
Romans were the Cattieuchlanians , or Caſsiians,and 
the Trinobantes, astheir Writers declare, and in the 
Heptarchy was poſſeſſed by the Esſt-Saxos,cxcepting

paſſing the Les in their light Pinnaces and Shallps, 
raiſed therein a Fort, which maugre the Engliſh th 
kept, untiu! that by the wiſepolicie of King Zlfred, 
that River was parted into more running ftreames, 
whereby their Ships periſhed, and they intercepted 
both ofproviſion and further ſupplie. 

(5) The Romans before them had made Yerolami- 
wm inthis Shire their greateſt foracceunt, whichin 
| Neyoes time was a Municipiall, as Ninius in his Cate.

lid brafſe brought out of Scotland by Sir richard Lea, 
from the ſiege of Leeth. 

(6) Many other Townes, both for commerce, 
ſtately buildings, and ofancientRecord, this Shire 
affoordeth , whereof Hertford, though the Shire- 
Towne,is not thericheft; the paſſage thorow Ware 
hath left her waies ſountrodden: to prevent which, 
in former times that Riverat are was whained up, 
and the very, das of Hertford had the cuſtodie of the 
Key: which howſoever they have loft, yet hath the 
Towne gotten her Governouy to be preterred from 
the name of a Bailiffe, unto a Maior,affiſted with nine 
Burgeſſes, a Recorder ,and two Sergeants their Mtten-

unto Hemſted, and her faire Caftle, wherein Richard 
King ofthe Romans left his life. Yet Lexgleyis graced 
both in the birth of Prince Edmund the fifth ſon to

Rome, knowne by the name of Hadrian the fourth, 
(and famous for his ftirrap-holding by Frederick

(7) Thecivill Battles that in this Shire have been 
foyght,in the Map itſelfe are inſerted, and therefore 
here omitted, but the more ancient remembred un-

CHAPTER XXI. 


EDpFoRD-SHIRE, ſeatedin 
Þz2> the South-Eaſt of thisIland, is 
&Y aplaine and Champion Coun- 
> [rey , and lyeth bounded upon 
the North with Hantington- 
ſhire, upon the Eaft with Cam- 
bridge and Hartford-ſhires ; and 
upon the Weſt with Bucking- 
ham and Northampton-ſhives. 
* (2) The formethereof is ſomewhatovall, and

to Studham in the South, are but twentie foure Eng- 

liſh miles ; and from Turny inthe Weſt, unto Hat- 

ley Coking inthe Eaſt, are notfully foureteene; the 

whole in circumference , about ſeventie three 

miles, 

(3) The Aireis temperate,and the Soile bounti- 

ous,. eſpecially the North, whoſe borders the fruit- 

tull Ouſe with her many windings watereth. The 

South is more leane , and with greater induftry 

bringeth forth Barley, no better elſe-where. Gene- 

rally, this Countie is Champion , though ſome 

places be ſprinkled with Pafturage and Woods. 

( 4) The ancient Inhabitants knowne to the Ro- 

mans, that held in this Shire, were part of the Catt;- 

euchlani, a ſtout and warre-ftirring people : and yet 

upon the report of Ceſars proceeding , ſent him 
their ſubje&ion for peace. But when that conque- 
ring Nation had brought Britaize into a Province 
under Rowe, their Legions lay at Selaneaand Magin- 
tum , which are now Sandy and Dunſtable, placesof 
memorable note in this 'Shire, After them the 
Saxons coveting for ſo faire a Seat, firft diſpoſleſ- 
ſed the Britaines , under the leading of Cuthwulfe 
the Weſt-Saxon, about the yeere of Grace 572. who 
making it their owne , was laftly enjoyed by the 
Mercians, as apart of their Kingdome. 

(5) In the yeere of Chritts Incarnation 1399. 
immediately before thoſe Civil Warres , that rent 
in pieces thepeace of this Land, betwixt the Prin« 
cesof Lanca#er and Yorke, the River 0uſe neere un- 


—— 


to Harwood, ftood ſiiddenly ftill, and refrained to 
paſſe any further; ſo that forward, menpaſſed three 
miles together on foot in the very depth of her 
Channell; and backward , the waters ſwelled unto 
a great height: which was obſerved byrhe judicious, 
toforetell ſome unkind diviſion that ſhortly ſhould 
ariſe. —— 

(5) This County, among the commoncalami- 
ties of the Land, when it lay trampled under the 
feet of the Daves;ſuſtained apart: and after that, in 
the time of King Stephen , when the Civil Warres 
chundred betwixt Maud the Empreſſe and himlſelte, 
the Shire-town was ſore waſted ,- with great ſlaugh- 
terof men: ſo when the Barons faxſooke their alle- 
geance to King [ohn, the Towne/and Caſtle were 
rendredup unto their hands, an aſtly , by King 


, 


"OO III 


Henry the third , laid levell even with the ground, 
ſome ruinous wals appearing towards the 0#ſe , but 
not a ſtone left upon the Aon where ſtood his 
foundation. | | 

(7) This Towne by the Britaines was called Let- 
tidur, by the Saxons,Bevanfopy; and of us, Bedford : 
being the chiefeſt in the County, from whom it ta- 
keththe name, and is moſt fruittull, and pleaſantly 
ſeated, having the 0uſe running thorowthe Towne 
inthe middeſt, and a faire Sroxe-Bridze built over 
the ſame, whereonare two Gates tolocke andim- 
peach the paſſage,as occaſion ſhall ſerve. Ar the firſt 
entrance ſtandeth S. Leonards Hoſpital for Lazars : 
and further inwards , S. Iohns and S. Maries Chur- 
ches : within the Towne, S. Paxls, a moſt beautifull 


Church, S. Cuthberts , and S. Peters : without the |. 


Towne ſtandeththe Fryers, S. Loyes, Alhalowes, and 
Caudwell Abbey : notfarrethence, ſometimes ſtood 
a Chappell upon the Banke of 0»ſe, wherein (as 
Florilegus affirmeth)the body of 0ff« the great Mer- 
cian Kinig was interred , butby the over-{welling of 
that River , was borne downe , and ſwallowed up : 
whoſe Tombe of Lead ( as it were ſome phantafti- 
call ching) appeared often to them that ſeeke it not, 
but tothem that ſeeke it { faith Roſſe ). it is inviſible, 
This Towne is governed yeerely by a Major, two 
Bailiffes, two Chamberlaines, a Recorder, a Town- 
Clerke, andrthree Sergeants with Maſes. | 
(8) Araleof vainecredit is reported of Danfa- 
ble, that it was built to bridle the outragiouſneſle of 
a theefe named Dun, by King Henry the firſt : bur 
certaine it is the place was formerly held by the Ro- 
»4ns, Whoſe Legions there lay, as appearcth by the 
Coines there uſually found , which from Magintum 
are corruptly called Madning-money. 
(9) Caſtles inthis Shireare Woodbif, Eaton,Temſ- 
ford, and Amphill, an honour now appertaining to | 
the Crown. And places of Religion, built by devour 
perſons, but for Idolatrous abuſes againe aboliſhed, 
were at Bedford, Harwood, Helenſlow , Newenham, 
Chickſand,Wardon,Woburne,and Dunſtable, All theſe, 
with their like, felt the hand of Henry the eight tolie 
ſo heavy upon them, that they were not able to ſu- 
ſtaine the weight , but were cruſhed to pieces, and 
fell to the ground, | 
( 10) The Graduation of this Countie, taken for 
the Shire-Towne, is placed from the Equator in the 
degree of 52.and zo. minutes for Latitude ,' andis 
removed from the firſt Weſt point of Longitude, 
20, degrees and 16. minutes.

the whole Shire had hers from 
this Towne BuCcKINGHram. 
(2) In forme it ſomewhat reſembleth a Lion 
Rampant, whoſe heador North-point toucheth the 
Counties of Northampton and Bedford ; whoſe backe 
or Eaft-part is backed by Bedford and . Hertford- 
ſbires : his loynes or South-borders reſt upon Barke- 
ſhire, and his breaſt the Weſt ſide is butted upon 
wholly by 0:xfora-fbire. The length thereof from 
rrawburyin the South, to Bradfeld1n her North, are 
thirty nine miles : the breadthat the broadeft, from 
Aſbbridge in the Eaft, to Brenwood Foreſt in the 
Weſt, are —_—_ ; the whole in circumference 
thirty eight miles,

The ſoile is rich, fat, and ry 


iving abundance 

_ divided in- 
to two parts by the Chilterxe bills, which run thorow 
this Shire inthe middeſt, and before time were ſo 
peftered with Beech, that they were altogether un- 
paſſable, and became a receptacle and refuge for 
theeves, who daily endammaged the way-taring 
man ; for which cauſe Zeoftan Abbot of Saint Albans 
cauſed them to be cutdown: fince when thoſeparts 
are paſſable , without any great incumbrances of 
trees; from whoſe tops, a and moft pleafin 
proſpe@ is ſeene, The Vale beneath is plaite an 
champion, aclayie ſoyle, ſtiffe,and rough, but with- 
all marvellous fruitfull, naked of Woods, bur a- 
bounding in meadows, paſtures, and tillage, and 
maintaining an infinitenumber offheepe, whoſe ſoft 
and fine fleeccsare in greatefteem with the Turkes

{ 4) The ancient Inhabitants that were ſeated 
in this Shire, were the Cattieuchlani, mentioned by 


Bedford, Hertfort, and this. "Theſe yeelded them-

the Towne Cherſey, upon the We 

where in a ſharpe and bloudy battle he was victor o- 
ver the Britaines. So alſo Cuthwulfe a Weſt-Saxon at

the North excepted, over which three faireftone- | 
bridges lead, andinto w® the ſprings ofa Well run, 
called S. Rumalds,a child-ſaint borne at Kings Sutton, 
canonized,and in the Church of this Towne enſhri-

the Romans Laforodi, being built upon that ancient 
-Cauſey-way which is called Watling ftreet, where re-

place Edward the elder ſtopped the paſſage of the 
Daxes,whiles he ſtrengthned Torcefter againſt them: 
and herein, King Edward the eldeft ſince the Con-

YXfonD-Sur x x, receivethher 
& ame from that famous Yuiverſctie, 
,Y and moſt beautifull Citie Oxford 
and this of the Foord of Oxen, ſay 
our Engliſh Saxons ; though Lei- 
landupona ground of conjeure 
will haye it O«ford; from the Ri- 
_ ver Osſe(by the Latines called 1/is, 
= waich giveth name likewiſe to the 
adjoyning Tland Ove). The North point of this Shire is 
bordered by the Countics of Warwicke and North- 
Hampton, the Eaſt with Buckingham, the Welt by Glow- 
ceſter-$hire, and the South altogether is parted from Barke- 
Shireby Thamiſis, the Prince of Britiſh Rivers. . 
(2) Thebleſſings both of the ſweet-breathing heavens, 
and the fruitfull ſite of this Counties ſoyle, are "Pk and 


| fortunate, that hardly can be faid whether exceeds. The 


ayre milde,temperate and delicate; the Land fertile, pleaſant 
and bounteous; in a word, both Heaven and Earth accor- 
ded to make the Inhabitants healthfull and happie : The hils 
loaden with woods and cattle, the yallies burthened wit 
corne and by reaſon of many freſh ſpringing Ri- 
yers which ſportingly there-thorow make their ec; 
whereof Evenlod,Charwell,T ame and Ifisare chiefe: which 
two laſt making their Bed of Marriage neere unto Dorche- 
fter, runne thence together in one channell and name. 

| (3) The length of this Shire is from Cleydon in the North- 

Welt, unto (aver /bam in her South-Eaſt, necre unto Tha- 
»ifis, and amonnteth almoſt to fortie miles; the broadeſt 
part is inher Weſterne Borders, which extending from the 
faid Cleydon in the North, unto Faringden ſeated upon the 
River 1/- in the South,are ſcarcely twenty fixe : and thence 
growing narrower like unto a Wedge, containing in Cir- 
cumference about one hundred and thirty miles. 

(4) The ancient Inhabitans known to the Romanes, 
were the Dobani,part whereof poſleſled further Welternly 
into Gloceſter-ſhire,and necrer Eaſt-ward, betwixt the bow- 
ing of T hamiſis, were ſeated the Ancalites, who ſent their 
ſubmiſſion unto I#lizs Ceſar, when report was made that 
the Trinobantes had put themſclyes under his proteRion z 
whereof followed the Britaines ſervitude under the proud 
yoke of the all-coveting Romans: yet afterwards this Coun- 
tics people, being very puiſſant (as Tacitzs termes them ) 
and unſhaken by warrcs, withltood Oftorixs Scapnla the 
| Romane Lieutenant, chooſing rather to yeeld their lives in 
Battle, then their perſons to ſubjeAion. Of later times it 
was poſſefſed by the Mercian- Saxons, as part of their King- 
dome, though ſometimes both the FeſF. Saxons, and the 
Northambrians had the diſpoſe of ſome part theroffor Beds 
affirmeth that King O/wold gave the ther-flouriſhing Citie 
Dorcheſter unto Berinus the Weſt-Saxons Apoltle,to be his 
Epiſcopall Sce : whence the good Biſhop comming to Ox- 
ford, and preaching before Wnlpherus the Mercian King (in 
whole Court AthelWwold the Soxth- Saxons heatheniſh King 
was then preſent ) ho with all his Nobles were converted to 
the faith of Chriſt,and there baptized, whereby Berinus be- 
came the Apoſtle alſo of the South-Saxons. 

' (5) Otherplaces of memorable note, either for ations 
therein happening, or for their owne famous cſtecme, are 
the Ro-rich-ſtones ſtanding neer unto Exiſvam inthe South 
of this Shire:a monument of huge ſtones, ſet round in com- 
paſſe, in manner of the Sroehenge: of which, fabulous tra- 
dition hath reported forſooth, that they were metamorpho- 
ſed from men, but in truth were there ereed upon ſome 


| great yiRory obtained, cither by, or againſt Rollo the Dane, 


who inthe yeere 896. entered England, and in this Shire 
fought two Battles, one necrc unto Hoch-Norton, and a fe- 
cond at the Scier Stare. 

(6) Rodgot likewiſe remaineth asa monument of Ox- 
fords high ſtiled Earle, but unfortunate Prince, Robert de 
Vere, who beſides the Earledome, was created by King Rs. 
chardthe ſecond, Margqueſſe of Dwublin,and Duke of Ireland: 
but at that Bridge, diſcomfited in fight by the Nobles, and 
forced to {wimme the River, where began the downfall of 
his high mounted fortunes; for being driven forth of his 
Country,laſtly died in exile and diſtreſſed eltate. But more 
happie is this Countie in producing far more glorious Prin- 
cesas King Edward the Confeflor, whoin Jflip was borne ; 
Edward the victorious black'Prince, in Woodſtock ; and in 
Oxfordthat warlike (wr de Liow, King Richard the firſt, 
the ſonne of King Henry the ſecond, firſt took breatli. 

(7) Which Citieis, and long hath becnthe glorious ſcat 
of the Muſes, the Britiſh Athexs, and learnings weil-ſpring, 
from whole living Fountaine the wholſome: waters of all 
good literature ſtreaming plenteouſly, have made fruitful 

all other parts of this Realine, and gained glory amongſt all 
Nations abroad. Antiquitie ayoucheth, that-this place was 
- conſecrated unto the {acred Sciences in the time of the old 
Britaines, and that from Greekelad, a Town in Wilt-ſtire, 
the Academic was tranſlated unto Oxford, asuntoa Plant- 


plot, both more | and fruitfull:*whereto agcordeth 
the ancient Burlexs and Nechaw, this latter allo alledging 
Saxons feete, it ſuſtainedapart of thoſe common 


calamitics, having little reſerved, to uphold its former glo- 
rie, ſave onely. the famous monument of Saint Fride/wids 


ſides her Monaſterie : yet thoſe great blaſts, together with 
| other Dani/bſtormes,being well blowne over. Elfred, 


| that learned and religious Monarch, recalled the exiled M1u- 


ſes to their ſacred place, and built there three goodly Co/led- 
ges for the Studiesof Divinitie, Philoſophic, and other Arts 
of humanitie, ſending thither his owne ſonne Ethelward, 
anddrew thither the young Nobles from al parts of his king- 
dome. The firſt Reader thereof was his ſuppoſed brother 
Neote, a man of great learning, by whoſe dire&ion King 
Elfred wasaltogether guided in this his goodly foundation. 
At which time alſo, Aſſerius Menevenſis, a Writer of thoſe 
times affaires, read the Grammar and Rhetoricke, and affir- 
meth that long before them, Gildas, Melkin,Ninim, Kenti- 
gern,S.German, and otkers,ſpent there their lives in learned 
ltudies. From which time that it continueda Seed plor of 
learning till the Norman Conqueſt, Ingu/phns recordeth, 
who himſelfe then lived. No maryell then it Matthew Paris 
calleth Oxfora, the ſecond Schoole of Chriſtendome, and 
the very chiefe Pillar of the Catholique Church. And in 
the Councel holden at Viewna, it was ordained, thatin Pa- 
11, Oxford, Bononia,and Salamanca (the onely Yniverſities 
thenin Exrope) ſhould be ercfted Schooles for the Hebrew, 
Greeke, Arabick,and Chaldean Tongues, and that Oxford 
ſhould be the generall Vniverſitie for all England, Ireland, 
Scotland and Wales: which point was likewiſe of ſuch | 
weight with the Conncel of Conſtance, that from this pre- 
cedence of Oxford Vniverſitie, it was concluded, that the 
E net Nation was not onely to have precedence of Spaine 
inall Generall Councels, but was alſo to be h-1d <quall with |. 
Fraxce it (elfe. By which bigh prerogatives this of ours hath 
alwatcs fo flouriſhed, that 1n the daycs of King Henry the 
third, thirtie thouſand Students were therein reſident, as 
Archbiſhop Armachanus (who then lived) hath writ, and 
Rsſhanger (then alſoliving) ſheweth, that for all the civill 
warres which hindered tach places of quiet ſtudic ,. yet 
15000. Students were there remaining,whoſe names(faith 
he) were entered in matrieula, in the matriculation Books, 


| About which time, John Baliol (the father of Baliol King 


of Scots) built a Colledge,yet bearing his name, Anno 1.269. 
and Falter Merton Biſhop of Rocheſter, that which isnow 
called Merton Colledge; both of them beautified with buil- 
dings, and enriched with lands, and were the firſt endowed 
Colleages for learning in all Chriſtendome. And at this pre- 
ſent there are ſixteen Colledges (beſides another newly 
builded) with eight Hals, .and many moſt faire Collegiat 
Churches, all adorned with moſt ſtately buildings, and cn= 
riched with great endowments, noble Libraries, and moſt 
learned Graduates of all profeſſions, that unleſle it be her 
fiter Cambridge, the other nurſing breaſt of this Land, the 
like is not found againe inthe world. This Citie is alſo ho- 
noured with an Epiſcopal See. As for the ſite thereoh;it isre- 
moved from the Equator inthe degree 52. and one minute, | 
and from the Weſt by Mercators meaſure, 19. degrees, and 
20, minutes. | 
(8) As this Countic is happy in the poſſeſſion of fo fa- 
. mous an Academie, ſo it is graced with mot Princely Pala- | 
ccs appertaining to the Engliſh Crown, whereof Woodſtocks 
is the moſt ancient and magnificent, built to that glory by 
K. Henry the firſt, and enlarged with a Labyrinthof many 
windings by K. Henry the ſecond, to hide from his j-alous 
Juno, tus intirely beloved Concubine Roſamond Clifford, a | 
Damoſell of ſurpaſſing beauty ; where notwithſtanding | 


ſurpriſed and poyſoned by Queen Eleavor his wite, and was | 
buried at Godſftow Nunnery, in the midlt of the Quire, 
under a Hearſe of Silke, ſet about with lights, whom Hugh 
Biſhop of Lixcolne (thinking it an unfit obje& for Virgins 
deyotion) cauſed to be removed into the Church-yard : but 
thoſe chaſte ſiſters liked ſo well the memory of that kinde 
Lady, asthat her bones were tranſlated againe into their 
Chappell. | .

' | of Wyre, Howlſoever, true it is that the County doth 


/| wellfrequented,and very richly inhabited. This was 


of Corne in every place ſpread, the Woods and Pa- 
fturage in her hilsandplaines, ſweet Rivers thatwa- 
terthe vallies below,& Cattle that coverthe tops of 
higher ground;the Fields, Hedge-rowes, and High- 
wayes are beſet with fruitfull Peare-trees,thatyeeld 
great pleaſure to ſight, & commodious uſe: for with 
their juycethey make a baſtard kinde of wine, called 
Perrey,which is both pleaſant and good in taſte. Ma- 

ny Salt. Springs alſo this County atfordeth; yea, and 
more then are commonly inuſe: ſuch withthe Ger- 
mans, ourancient Predeceſſors, were efteemed moſt 
ſacred and holy ; fo that (as Tacitzs writeth) to ſuch 
they wontedly reforted toſupplicate their Gods with 
their deyout prayers,as to places neereſt the heaves, 
and therefore the ſooner to be heard. And Poets in 
their fainings, will have the Nymphs refidence in ſha- 
dy green groves, and banks of ſweet Springs: if fo, 
then (as Helicon) this County affords both: ſuch are 


of Nerion,and moſt faire Chaſe of Malverne. And for 
waters,to witneſſe what I ſay, is the Severxe that cuts 
this Shirein the midſt, Teme, Salwarp, and Avon, all 
of them making fruirfull cheir paſſage, and ſtored 
with Fiſh ofmolt delicious tafte. 
+ (4). The ancientpeople, poſſefiors of this Shire, 
were the Cornaviil, Inhabitants of Cheſſe-ſbire, 
$ hrop-ſhire, Stafford, and Warwicke-ſbires, ſubdued by 
the Romanes in Claudius Caſars time, and after their 


Kingdome, and in Bedxes time were called the Wici, 
whereof it may be this Shire had the name: unlefſe 
ou will have it from the Salt-pits, which in old Evg- 
iſh arenamed Wiches , orfromthe famous Forreſt 


hold her name from her chiefe Citie 7 Yorceſtey. 
(s ) Which is moſt pleaſantly ſeated , paſſing 


the Branonium, mentioned by Anionine and Prolemic, 
called by the Britains, Caer-wrangon; by Ninius,Carr- 
Epos &- the old Saxons, Wipe-cearoep; and by the 
Latines, Vigornia, This Citie is ſeated upon the Eaſt 
banke of Severne, and from the ſame is walled in tri- 
 angle-wiſe about, extending in circuit one thouſand 
fixehundred and fiftie paces: thorow which ſeven 
Garesenter, with fiveother Watch-Towers for de- 
fence. It is thought the Rowares built thisto reſtrain 
the Britaines that held all beyond Severze, This City 


endangered, andſer on fire, and the Citizens flaine 
almoſt every one, for that they had killed his Col. 


dermen, two Chamberlaines, and two Conſtables, 
yeerely eleedoutof twenty. foure Burgeſles, clo- 
thed in Scarlet, aflifted with 48. other Citizens, 
whom they call their Common Counſellors, clad in 
Purple, a Recorder, Towne-Clerke, and five Ser- 
geants with Mace their Attendants. Whoſe Geo- 
graphicall Poſition is diftant in Longitude from the | 


ſtines Oke, where he the Zngl:ſh Apoftle met with 


| Newbold, Treddenton,_Armiſcote, Blackwell, Darlings- 


This City is governed by two Bailiffes, two Al- 


Weſft-Meridian 18. degrees, 10. ſcruples, havingthe 
North-Pole elevated in Latitude 52. degrees, and 
32. {cruples. 
(6) Places of furthernote for memorable anti- 
quirie, is Ypt0y, of greataccountinthe Romanetime, 
where ſome of their Legions kept, as witneſle their 
monies there often found : the admirable Ditch 
upon CHalverne hils, drawne by Gilbert Clare Earle 
of Gloceſter, to divide his lands from the Church of 
V Vorceſter : the Saxons Augur'eyner-ace, our CAugu- 


the oy Bs for the uniforme celebration of 
Eaſter, from whence both parts departed with dif. 
contented mindes after many hot words and thwart- 
ing diſputes. | 
(7) Neither is it without admiration to me, that 
many places of this Shire lye farre within the Pre- 
cindts of other Provinces, as Auffon, Waſhbornes, Cut- 
zeſden, Paxford, Hanging-Eafton, Northwicke, Blockley, 
Eurlodein GloceFer-ſbire, and Goldeote, Aldermerſton, 


core, Shipton, Tydminton, Olbarrow, in Warwick: ſhire ; 
Dudley in Stafford-ſbire , and Rochford in Hereford- 


theſe and the like intheſe Wefterne Tracts. 

($) Religious | ag creed in this Shire, and 
devoted'uto God by deyout perſons, were Bredoz, 
Brodlege, Eueſbolme, Alneceſter, Cochell, Fladbary, Mal- 


by Hardy Canutcin the yeerof Chriſt 1041. was ſorely | 


wverin, Perſhore, $ raleg, Weſtwoods , and Worceſter, 
plenteouſly provided for,and further ſecured by ma- 
ny priviledges, both which they abuſed, as were the 
inditemenrs of all ſuch in the dayes of King Henry 
the Eight, at whoſe Barre. (himſelfe being Judge) 


their ends and deſtruction. | 

(9) Caſtles for defence built in this County, rui- | 
pate or in ſtrength, were Hartlebary, Holt, Handley, 
Norton, Elmeley, and Worceſter, beſides his Majeſties

tants ) reſiſted ; Taxe and Revenew of the Crown laid more evenly, 
and eafierly levied ;- Jultice at mens doores with lefſe charge and jour-

the Vale , contiguons to the Fennes , beſt for Paſture, in which to no 


vers ſerving Coale, as the Moores Turffe, for fuell. 

(2) This Content was(as the whole Continent)Forreſt,untill Canu- 
tus gave this Law of grace, Ut quiſque tam in agris, quamin filvis excitet 
agiterq, feras.Long were the hands of Kings to pull(of old)the Subjefts 
right into Regall pleaſure , when Perambulation and Proclamation 
onely might make any mans land Forreſt. It is in the firſt //illiams time 
a Phraſe in Record not rare,Silva hujus Manerii Fox1sT EsT miſſa in 


Forreſt of Lyfiel4 , he cauſed Huſculphus his Raunger to keepe them for 
his Game,as the Record doth teſtifle. Thus did the ſecond of his name, 
and the firſt Richard,im many parts : well therefore may the Exchequer 
Book call the Forreſt Juſtice for Vert and Veniſon,not Fuſtum abſolute, 
but Fuſtum ſecundiom Legem Foreſts. That Foreſta18 defined, Tuta fere- 
rum ſtatio, may ſeeme to confine the Forreſters Office onely to his 
Games care, which of ancient was as well oyer Minerall and Mari- 
timall revenew. The office of Baldwine the Fee Forreſter of Flanders, 


the old Charters of the French Kings, And ſee how juſt this ſquares 
to our Legall pra&tiſe,for of Aſſarts, Purpreſtures, Emprovement, Green- 


IWreacks at Sea , did theItinerall Juſtice of the Forreſt here enquire. 
His SubjeRs of this Shire , Henry the ſecond from ſervitude of his 
beaſts, (whoſe Grand-father pro feris homines tncarcerauit, exharedita- 
vit, muti/avit, trucidavit) did pretend by Charter to enfranchiſe, ex- 
cept Wabridge, Staple, Herthy, his own Demaines. But ſuch was the 
ſucceſſe by encrochments , under his two ſucceeding Sonnes , that it 
drew on the oppreſſed people to importune anew the Soveraignes re- 
drefle, which was by the great Charter of the third Henry ſruitleſly et- 
feted, His ſonne in the 7. of his raigne , by a Perambulation , reſu- 
ming back the fruit of his fathers goodnes,and ſo — untill in his 
29. yeare by Petition, and purchaſe of his people ( for they gave him 
a full Fifteene ) he confirmed the former Charter, and by Jury, View 
and Perambulation ſettled that Boundary of Forreſt, which contented | 
the people, became the ſquare of univerſall Juſtice in this kinde , and 


node of the Clergie, from whence in imitation of the Hundred Court, 
part was remitted to the Rurall Deaneries,of which this Shire had fdure: 


ſaperiour Juriſdiion,as ſome of our Civill Courts have been. There

the Fulges of Afiſe yearely. 

The Office of Execution and cuſtody of this County is.the Sheralfey, 
of old inheritable , untill Euftachzs , who by force and favour of the 


| Conquerour difſeiſed Aluric and his heires,forfeited it to the Crowne; 


but fince it hath paſſed by annuall ele&ion , and hath united to it the 
Countie of ({ambridge. 7 

(5) Having thus tarre ſpoken of the Shire in generall,next in obſer- 
vation falleth the Shire-Town Huntingdox , Hundandun, or the Hun- 
ters Downe, North ſeated upon a riſing banke, over the rich meadow- 
ed River Owſe, interpreted by ſome Authors, the Downe of Hunters, to 
which their now common Seale ( a*Hunter) ſeemeth to allude. Great 
and populous was this in the fore-going age, the following having here 
buried of fifteene all but three, beſides the Mother-Church S. Maries, 
in their own _= At the raigne of the Conquerour, it was ranged 
into foure Ferli ngs or Wards,and in them 256.Burgenſes orHouſholds: 
It anſwered at all afſeſments for 5e Hides, the fourth part of Hurſting- | 
fton Hundred in which it ſtandeth. The annuall rent was then 30. 1. of 
which,as of three Minters there kept,the King had two parts, the Earle 
the third;the power of Coynage then and before,not being ſo privative- 
ly in the King, but Borowes,Biſhops,and Earles enjoyed it ; on the ene 
ide ſtamping the face and ſtile of their Soveraigne, in acknowledge- 
ment of ſubordinacie in CO of abſolute power,and on the reverſe 
their own name, to warrant their integritie in that infinite truſt, 

(6) The Caſtle ſuppoſed by ſome the work of the elder Edward,but 
ſeeming by the Book of Domeſday, to be built by the Conquerour , is 


Non agrum tantum ſpectabat, ſed & Maris cuſftodiam, ſaith Tillizs, out of | 


hugh, Herbage, Paunage, Fowles, Mils, Honey, Mine, Quarries, and.|- 


left in this Shire no more then the three former ( his own grounds )* 
Forreſt, # 

(3) This Shire hath foure Centuriata or hundreds, and had of old time 
five, theſe ſo called, ©1414 prima inſtitutione ex Hiderum aliquot centenarits 
compoſita. Theſe are ſubdivided into 79. Pariſhes, whereof five beſides 
the Shire-Town have Markets. Theſe Pariſhes are meaſured by Hides, 


or ſtrength of the Lord ſtrengthened or extended their limits, the Maſſe 
in whole containing of the farſt ſort,818.and of the other, 1136. Theſe 
Hides the ancient and generall meaſure of land (except in Kent) where 
the acconnt was by Solins;or Lincolnſhire, Ubi non ſunt Hida,ſed pro Hi- 
dis ſunt Carucate) were eſteemed one hundred Acres, non Normautco,ſed. 
Anelico numero,una Hida pro ſexies viginti Acris, duo pro duodecies vigin- 
tt, as in the Book of Domeſday Caruca the Teame-land ( not Carucata, 
for they bz different ) was in quantitie of Acres, proportioned to the 
qualitie of Soile, but uſually in this Shire reputed 60. The /rrgata, or 
Yard-land,was a more or lefſe part of the Hzde,as the Acres in number 
yaried, which I finde-in this Cuuntie from 18. to 42. but for the moſt 
part 30. which was the halfe Plough-land. And the Bovate or Oxgang 
reſumed in law for land in Grazary) was ſuited in number of Acres to 


.thar Yard-land,of which it was a moitie. Thus ( except in the Fennes, 


laid out per Leucas & quarentenas,myles and furlongs) ſands all a mea- 
ſurement of land in this Shire, which containeth the Knights Fees 53. 
one half, 2. fifts, and a twentieth part. And in full eſtimation of rent 
and worth, roſe in the time of the Conquerour,to g1 2. 1. 4. s. and now 
payeth in Fifteene to the King, 3 71.1.9.5.7.d.ob, and in tenth from the 
Clergie, 142.1. 6. S. q.

ſtice,did at the firſt,as the Germans our Anceſtors, Fura per pagos & vicos 
reddere; Every Townſhip by their Friburzi, or Tenmentall, as Triers, and

times a year,was our Hundred or Wapentake. Que ſuper decem Decanos

Barons or Freeholders of that rare os mg Aldermannus tenutt 
placitum cum toto HundredoSaith the book of Ely, This Court had Cog- 
noſcence of Cauſes Eccleſiaſtical, as Temporall , therefore the Judge 
or Alderman ovght to be ſuch as Det leges et hominum jurs ſtudebat pro- 
movere: thus it went although the Conquerour commanded, Ne aliquis 
de legibus Epiſcopalzbus amplius in Hundredo placita teneret, The next and 
higheſt in this Shire, was Generale placitum Conitatus ( the Countie or 
Sheriffes Court)to which were proper Placita Ctvilia ubi curia Domino- 
rum prolantur defeciſſe, Et Þ placitum exurgat inter Vavaſores duorum Do- 
minorum trafctur in Comitatu. The Judge was the Earle or Sheriffe. The 
Tryers Barones Comitatus (Freeholders) «Qui liberas in eo terras habent; 
not Civill onely, but Probats of Wils,Queltions of Tithes, Et debita 
ver Chriſtianitatis Furs , were heard , and firſt heard in this Court, 
Therefore Epiſcopss, Presbyter Ecclefie, & <Quatwor de melioribus ville, 
were adjundts to the Sheriffe, «Qui dei leges @f ſeculs negotia juſta conſ- 
deratuone definirent. 'ſhe Lay part of this liveth in a ſort in the Coun- 

Spinal abow the raigne of King Stephen, 


now known but by the ruines : It was the ſeat of Waltheof the Great 
Saxon Earle, as of his ſucceeding heires , untill toend the queſtion of 
right berween Sentlice and the King of 8#0ts, Henry the ſecond , laid it 
as you ſee ; yet doth it xemaine the head of that honour on which in 
other Shires many _— Fees , and fixteene in this attended. Here 
David Earle of this and Anguiſe, father of Iſabel de Brzs, founded the 
Hoſpitall of S. Fohn Baptiſt : and Lovetste here upon the Fee of Euſtace 
the Vicount, built to the honour of the bleſſed Virgin, the Priory of 
Blacke Charinons, valued ztthe Suppreſſion, 23 2.1.7. s.0b. Here at the 


.- +North end was a houſe of Fryers, and without the Town at Hinching- 


brooke, a Cloiſter of Nunnes, valued at 19.1. g. s. 2. d. founded by the 
firſt Williem, in place of S.Pandonia , at Elieſley ( by him ſuppreſſed) 
where neer the end of the laſt Henry the family of the Cromwels began 
their Seat. To this Shire-Town , and benefit of the neighbour Coun- 
tries,this River was navigable, untill the power of Grey,a minion of the 
time, ſtopt that paſſage, and with it all redrefſe either by Law or Par- 
liament. By Charter of King Fobx this Town hath a peculiar Coroner, 
_ by Toll and Cuſtome, Recorder, Town-Clerkes, and two Bay- 
iffes, ( ele&ed annually for government) as at Parliament two Bur- 
geſſes, for adviſe and aſſent ; and is Lord of it ſelfe in Fee-Farme. 

(7) The reſt of the Hundred ( wherein this Shire-Town Jyeth) is 
the Eaſt part of the County,and of Hurſt a Pariſh in the center of it,na- 
med Hur $TINGSTON, 1t was the Fee-farme of Ramfey Abbey, which 
on a point of fertile land, thruſt out into the Fennes, is therein ſituate, 
Cooled in the yeare 969.to God, our Lady, and S. Benedi#, by Earle 
Ajlwin of the Royall bloud, repleniſhed with Monks from Weſtbury, 
by Oſwold of Torke, and dedicated by Dunſtan of Canterburie, Arch-bi- 
ſhops. By Abbat Reginald 11 14.this Church was reedified, by Magn4- 
vill Earle of Eſſex, not long after ſpoyled , and by Henry + third, 
firſt of all the Norman Princes, viſited ; when waſted with the Sicilian 
warres,Regalis menſe Hoſpitalizas ita abbreviata fuit, ut cum Abbatibus, 

lericis & viris ſatis humilibus, hoſpitia queſtuit @ prandia. This Mona- 

ry ( the ſhrine of two martyred Kings, Ethelbright and Ethelred,and 
of Saint Tvo the Perfean Biſhop ) by humble pietie at firſt, and pions 
charitie, aſcended ſuch a pitch of worldly fortune, that it transformed 
their Founder ( religious povertie ) into their ruine , the attribute of 
Ramſey the rich : for having made themſelyes Lords of 387 Hides of 
land (whereof 200 in this Shire, ſo much as at an eaſie and under rent, 
was at the Suppreſſion valued at 1983. 1, 15. $.3:d.q. but by account of 
this time annually amounts to 7000. ], ) they then began to aff2& po- 
pular command , and firſt incloſing that large circuit of land and wa- 
ter{for in it lyeth the Mile-ſquare Meere of Ramſey) as a peculiar Seig- 
nory to them,called the Baleuc or Bandy ( bounded as the Shire, from 
Ely, and from Norman-Croſſe with the Hundred Meere)by Soveraigne 
Graunt they enjoyed regall libertie. And then aſpiring a ſtep further, 
(to a place in Parliament ) made Broughtonthe head of their Baronie, 
annexing to it in this Shire foure Knights Fees, Thus in great glory 
it ſtood above 400 yeares,untill Henry the eight ( amongſt many other 
once bright Lamps of Leal 00 Religion 1n this State , though 
then obſcured with thoſe blemiſhes to wealth and eaſe concomitant ) 
diffolved the houſe, although Fobn Warboys then Abbot, & his 60 black 
Monks there maintained , were of the firſt that under their hands and 
conventuall Seale | > rpinang , <Quod Romanus Pontifex non habet majo- 
rem aliquam Furiſdifionem collatam fobi a Deo in Regno Anglt# quam qui- 
wis dlivs externus Epiſcopus. A Cellto this rich Monaſtery was S. Ivees 
Priory, built in that place of Slep, by Earle Adelmzs, in the raign of the 
laſt Edmund, where the incorrppted body of S. Ivo there cnce an Her- 
mit, ina viſion revealed, was by Ednothus taken up in his Robes Epi- 
ſcopall, and dedicated in the preſence of Siward Earle of this Countie, 
w that Lady of renowned pietie Ethelfleda to the ſacred memory of 
this Perſian Biſhop. Not farre from this is Somerſham, the gift of the 
$ax01 Earle Brithnothus to the Church of Ely , before his own fatall 
expedition againſt the Danes: It is the head of thoſe five Towns, of 
which the Soke is compoſed , and was an houſe to the See of Ely, well 
beautified by Fob Stanley their Biſhop : but now by exchange is an- | 
nexed to the Crown. As theſe;ſo all the reſt of this Hundred, was the 
Churches land, except Rippon Regis ancient Demaine, To which Saple 
(reſerved korreſt) ak, and the greater Stivecly, given by the laſt 
David Earle of Huntingdon, in Fee to his three Setvants, Sentlice, L4-

BY TC.AND-SHIRE, the leaſt 
== of any Countie inthis Realme, is 
= circulated upon the North with 
ny») 2100 ay ang a onthe Eaft and 
eg South, by the River Weland is 
parted from Northampton-ſhire , 
Di and the Weſt is altogether held 
in with LZeiceſter-ſhire. | 
(2 ) Theforme thereofis round, and no larger 
in compaſſe then a light horſeman can eaſfily ride 
about.ina day : upon which occaſion ſome will have 
the Shire named of one Rs, that ſo rode. But others 
from the redriefle of the ſoyle, will have it called 
Rutland , and fotheold Enghlſh-Saxons calledit, for 
that Roes and Rt is in their tongue Red with us, and 
may very well give the name to this Province, ſee- 
ing the earth doth ftaine the wooll of her ſheepe in- 
toa reddiſh colour, Neither is it ftrange that the 
ſtaine of the ſoyle gives names unto places,and that 
very many: for have we not in Cheſſe.ſhire the Red 
Rocke, in Lencaſhire, the Red Banke, and in Wales, 
Rutland Caftle ? To ſpeake nothing of that famous 
Red Sea which ſhooteth into the Land betwixt .E- 
gypt and Arabia, which gave backe her waters for 
the 1/7aelites to paſſe on foot: all of them named 
fromthe colour of the ſoyle. 
(3) Thelongeft part ofthis Shire is from Caldecot 
in the South upon the River Zy unto Thiſtleton a 
ſmall Village ſeated in the North, not fully twelve 
miles : and from :TimwelEaft-ward, to Wiſſenden in 
the Weſt, her broadeſt extent, is hardly nine: the 
whole circumference about fortie miles. 
(4) The ayre is good both for health and delight, 
ſabje& to neitherextremitie of heat nor cold, nor is 
greatly troubled with foggie miſts. 
The Soyle is rich, and for Corn and tillage gives 
placeunto none. Woods there areplenty, and many 
of them imparked, hills feeding heards of Neate, 
and flockes of ſheepe, vallies beſprinkled with many 
ſweet Springs,Grain in abundance, and Paſtures not 
wanting: in a word, all things miniftred to the 
content of life, with a liberall heart and open 
hand. Onely this is objected, that the circuit is not 


(5) The draught whereof, that I may acknow- 
ledge my dutie and his right, I received at the hands 
ofthe right Honourable lob» Lord Harrington, Baron 
of Exton, done by himſelfe in his younger yeers. 

Neere unto his houſe Burley, ſtandeth 0kbam a 
faire Market-towne, which Lordſhip the ſaid Baron 
enjoyeth with a Royaltie ſomewhat extraordinary, 
which is this : If any Noble by birth come within 
the precin@ ofthe ſame Lordſhip, he ſhall forteit as 
an homage a ſhooe fromthe Horſe whereon he ri-

Beſides many others without names. 

That ſach homage was his due, the faid Lord 
himſelfe told me;and at that inftant aſuit depended 
in Law againſt the Earle of Lincolze, who retuſed to 
forfeit the penaltie, orto pay hisfine. 
(6) Her ancient Inhabitants knowne to the Ry- 
manes,and mentioned in Prolomie, were the Coritani, 
and by him branched thorow Leiceſter, Lincolne, Not- 
tingham, Darby-ſhire,and this; whowith the 1cenians 
were ſubdued by P. oſtorias under the yoke of Clau- 
dine the Romane Emperour:and at their departure, by 
Conqueſt the S4xoxs made it a Province unto their 
Mercian Kingdome, whoſe fortunes likewiſe coming 
toafull period, the Normans annexed it under their 
Crowne, | 

(7) This Countie King Edward Confeſſor bequea- 
thed by his Teſtament unto 2ueen Eadgith his wite, 
and after her deceaſe unto his Monaftery at Weſt. 
minfter, which William the Conquerour cancelled and 
made voyd, beftowing the Lands upon others, the 
Tithes and the Church untothoſe Monkes. 
Thatthe Feyryers here firſt ſeated, beſides the cre- 
dit of Writers, the Horſe-ſhooe whoſe badgethen it 
was,dothwitnefſe;where in the Caftle, and nowthe 
Shire-hall, right over the Seat ofthe Judge,a Horſc- 
ſhooe of iron curiouſly wrought, containing five 
foote and a halfe inlength, ov | the bredth thereto | 
195, ne; 478 is fixed. The Caſtle hath bin ftrong, 

ut now is decayed,the Church faire, and the Town 

ſpacious ; whoſe degree of Longitude is 19. 46.ſcru- 
ples, and the North-poles eleyation in Larirude 53. 
 degreesand 7. minutes. 
(8) Letit not ſeeme offenſive, that I (to fill up 
this little Shire) have inſerted the ſeate of a Towne 
not ſited inthis County: for beſides the conveniency 
of place, the circuit and beauty, but eſpecially it be- 
ing for a timean Vniverlitie did move much ; yea, 
andthe firſt in this Iland, if /#h»n Hardings * Authour 
faile him not, that will have B/adudto bring from 4- 
thens certaine Philoſophers, whom here he fcated;and 
made publike profeſſion of the Liberall Sciences, 
where i he faith) a great number of Scholars ſtudi- 
edthe Arts, and ſo continuedan Vniverſity unto the 
coming of Cvuguſtine, at which time the Biſhop of 
Rome interdictedit, for certaine Herefies ſprung up 
among the Britaines and Saxons.” But moſt truciris, 
that in the reign of King Edward the third, upon de- 
bate falling betwixt the Southerne and Northerne 
Students at Oxford, many Schoole-men with-drew 
themſelyes hither, and awhile profeſſed,and named 
a Colledge,according to one in Oxford, Braſen-noſe, 
which retaineth that name unto this day. 'This was 
ſo great a skarre untothe other, that when they were 
recalled by proclamation to 0xford,it was provided 
by Oath, that xo Student in Oxford ſhoald publikely pro- 
feſſe or reade the CArts at Stanford, to the prejudice of 
Oxford. | 

(9) As this Shire is the leaſt in circuit, fois it with 
the feweft Market-towns repleniſhed, having onely 
| two. And from Societies that fed upon the labours 
of others, was this Land the freeſt;for beſides Riha/, 
where Tibba the Falconers Goddefſe was worſhipped 
for a Saint, when Superſtition had well-neere put 
Gods true honour out of place, I finde very few ; 
neither with more Caſtles ftrengthned then that at 


there. 
Divided itis into five Hundreds, and therein are 
lanted fortie eight Pariſh Churches, as in the Ta-

thereof Earle Robert built the Monaſtery of S. Ma-

CHAPTER XXXIIL. 


Ee re 


He County of Lincolue by the 
Engliſh-Saxons called Lincoll- 
rcype, and by the Normans Ni- 
colſhire, is confined on the 
North with Humber, on the 
Eaft with the Germane Ocean, 
upon the South is parted from 

| ' Cambridge and Northampton- 
ſir: by the River Nize, andonthe Weſt from Nyt- 
ting ham and Torke-ſhires by Dun and Trent. 

(2) The length of this Province extended from 
Barton upon Humber in the North, unto Stanford up- 
on the River Ne in the South,are miles by our, Zx- 
zliſh meaſure fifty-five,and the bredth thereotfrom 
Newton in the YVeſt, ftretched unto Winthorp upon 
her Eaft Seacontaineththirty five-The whole in cir- 
cumference about one hundredandeighty miles. 

( 3) The Ayre upon the Eaft and Southpartis 
both thicke and foggy, by reaſon of the Fennes and 
unſolute grounds, but therewithall very moderate 
and pleafing. Her graduation being removed from 
the Equator to the degree of 53. and the windes 
that are ſent of her ſtill working Seas, doe diſperſe 
thoſe vapours fromall powgg of hurt. on 

( 4) The formeof thisCountie doth ſomewhat 
reſemble the body of a Lute,whoſe Eaft coaſts lye 
bowe-like into the Germane Ocean, all gn. eg 
with in-lets offalt waters and ſands, which are nei- 
ther firme nor ſafe for trayellers, as thoſe inthe 
South provedunto K. Iobn, who marching North- 
ward from Northfolke, againſt his diſloyall Barons, 
uponthoſe waſhes loſt all his furniture and carriage 
by the ſudden rcturne of the Sea, and ſoftneſſe of 
the Sands. : 

( 5) Her Soileuponthe Weſt and North isabun- 
dantly fertile, pleaſant and rich, ftored with paſtu- 
rage, areable and meadowing grounds: the Eaftand 
South Fenny and blackiſh, and for Corne barren ; 
but foniowle and Fiſh exceeding any other inthe 
RealmE; wherein, at ſometimes and ſeaſons of the 
yeere, hath beene taken in nets, in Auguſt, at one 
draught, abovethree thouſand Mallards, and other 
Fowles of the like kinde. +} 

(6) The Shires commodities confift chieflyin 
Corne, Cattle, Fiſh, Fowle, Flax and AJablafter ; as 
alſo in a Plaifter much efteemed of by the Romans 
for their works of Imagerie;and whereof Pliny in his 
naturall Hiſtory maketh mention, And the Aftroztes, 
aprecious ſtone, Star-like, pointed with five beames 
orrayes, anciently eſteemed for their vertue in vi- 
Qories, upon the South-weſt of this County neere 
Bever are 59%. not far thence in our Fathers me- 
mory, at Harlaxton was ploughed up a braſenveſlel, 
wherein was incloſed a golden Helmet of an ancient 
faſhion, ſet with precious ſtones, which was preſcn- 
ted to Katharin of Spain, Wife and Dowager to King 
Henry the Eight. 

| ( hit Shire triaumphethin the births of Beau- 
cleark, King Henry the Firſt, whom Selby brought 
forth and of King Herr) the Fourth at Ballingbrooke 
born: but may as juſtly lament for the death of King 
lohn, herein of 95 fo Simon a Monk of Swynſted 

Abby ; and of Queene Eteavor, wife to King Edward 

theFirft, the mirrour of wedlocke, and love to the 

Commons, who at Hardby, ncere Bullingbrooke, his 

birth-place, ended her life.

vented thorow thirtie one Market-Townes in this 


— 


Shire, wherof Lince/ne the Counties nameris chiefe, 
by Ptolemie and Antonine called Lindum, by Beds 
Linde-collina ; by the Saxons, Linoo collyne, and by 
the Normans, N:chol. Very ancient itis , and hath 
beene more magnificall, as by her many over-turn- 
ed ruines doth appeare, and farre more populous, 
as by Domeſdayes book is ſeene, where itis recorded 
that this Citie contained a thouſand and ſeven 
Manſions, and nine hundred Burgeſlſes, with twelve 
Lage-men, having Sac and Soc. And in the Ngr- 
mans time,ſaith eMalmeſburie,it was one of the beſt 
peopled Cities of England, being a place for traf- 
ficke of Merchandiſe for all commers by Land or 
Sea. Herein King Edwardthe Third ordained his | 
Staple forthe Mart of Wools, Leather, and Lead; 
and no lefle then fiftie Pariſh-Churches did beauti- 
he the fame : but now containeth onely fiftcen be.

lides the Cathedrall. Someruines yetremaine both | 


of Frieries and Nunneries, who lye now buried in 
their owne aſhes, and the Citie conquered nor b 

warre, but by time and very age: and yet hath ſhe 
not eſcaped the calamitie of ſword, as inthe time of 


the like alſo did Edmund to the deſtroying Dares , 
8 by the Normans it ſuffered ſome dammage, where 
King Stephen was vanquiſhed and taken priſoner , 
and againe by the Third Henry, who aſſaulted and 
wanit from his rebellious Barons. By firelikewiſe it 
was fore defaced, wherein not onely the buildings 
were conſumed, but withall many men and women 
inthe violence thereofperiſhed: asalſo by an Earth- 
quake her foundation was much weakened and ſha- 
ken,wherein the faire Cathedral Church, dedicated 
to the Virgin of Virgins, was rent inpieces. The 
government of this Citie is committed yeerely toa 
Maior, two Sheriffes,twelye Aldermenin Scarlet, a 
Sword, a Hat of eftate, a Recorder, Sword-bearer, 
and foure Sergeants with Maces: whoſe fituation on.

building religious houſes in this County, as at Crow-

(10) Commotions in this Shire were rayſed 
the eight and twentierh of King Henry the Eight, 
where.twenty thouſand making infurre@tion, vio- 
lently ſware certaine Lords and Gentlemen to their 
Articles. But no ſooner they heard of the Kings 
powercoming, but that they diſperſed themſelyes, 
and ſued for pardon, Andagaine in the third yeer of 
King Edward the Sixt,in caſeof Incloſures, Lincolne, 
roſe in ſeditious manner, as did they of Cornwall, De- 
von-ſhire, Torke-Jhire, and Norfolke : but after ſome 
flaughters of their chiefeſt men, were reducedto 
formerobedience. | 

This Shires diviſion is intothree principallparts, 
viz. Lindſey, Keſteven, and Holland. Lindſey is ſubdi- 
videdintoſeventeene Hundreds, Kefteven intoele- 
ven, and Hofand into three, containing in all thirtie 
one, wherein are fituated thirtie Market-Townes, 
and fixe hundred thirty Pariſh-Churches, as in the

CHAPTER XXXIII. 


_—_—_—

IF O TTINGHA M-SHIRE (from 
Natingham her chiefeſt Town 
hath the name; and that, ſome- 
what ſoftned from the Saxons 
Snoovengaham , for the many 
Devs or Caves wrought in her 
Rocks and under-ground ) ly- 
eth bordered upon the North 
and North-weſt with York.ſbire; upon the Eaft a 
good diſtance by Trent isparted from,and with Liz- 
cola-ſhirealtogether confined: the South with Lei- 
ceſter-fhire, and the Weſt by the River Erwaſh is ſe- 
parated from Darby-ſhire. 

(2 ) For formelong and Ovall-wiſe, doubling in 
length twice her bredth, whoſe extreames are thus 
extended and diftance obſerved: From Finingley 
North to Steaxfordin the South , are thirty eight 
Engliſh miles ; her Weſt part from Teverſaf to Beſ- 
thorp in the Eaft are little more then nineteene; 
whoſe circumference draweth much upon one hun- 
dred andten miles. 

( 3) The Aire is good, wholeſome, and deleta- 
ble; the Soileis rich, ſandy, and clayie , as by the 
names of that Counties divifions may appeare : and 
ſurely for Corne and Graſſe ſo fruitfull, that it ſe- 
condeth any other in the Realme: and for Water, 
Woods, and Canell Ccales abundantly ftored. 

(4) Therein groweth a Stone ſofter then Alabls- 
fer , butbeing burnt maketh a plaifter harder then 
that of Pars: wherewith they floore their upper 
roomes ; forbetwixt the Joyſts they lay onely onR 
Bulruſhes, and thereon ſpread this Plaiſter , whic 
being way. ar. becomes moſt ſolide and hard, 
ſo thatit ſeemeh rather to befirme ftone then mor- 
tar, and is trod upon without all danger. 

In the Weſt neere Workſop groweth plentie of Li- 
quorice very deliciousand good. . 

(5s) More South in this Shire, at Stoke, in the 
Raigne of King Henry the ſeventh, a great battle was 
fought by 1#hn De-la-pole Earle of Lincoln, which Ri 
chard the Uſurper had declared his Heireapparant, 
but Richard loſfog his life, and De-la-pole his hopes, 
in ſeeking here to ſet upa Lambert, fell-downe him- 
ſelf: and at Newarke after many troubles King lob 
got his peace withthe end of his life. 

6) Trade andcommerce for the Countries pro- 
viſion is frequented in eight Market-Towns in this 
Shire , whereof Nottinghaws is both the greateſt and 


a high hill, for buildings ſtately, and number of 
faire ſtreets ſurpaſſing and ſurmounting many 0- 
ther Cities, and tor a ſpacious and moft faire Market 
place doth compare with the beſt. Many ftrange 
Vaults hewed out of therocks, in this Towne are 


beft : a Townſeated moſt pleaſant and delicateupon : 


ſeene; and thoſe under the Caſtle of an eſpeciall 
note, one for the Story of Chriſis Paſſion engraven 
inthe Walls, and cur by the hand of Dav:d the ſe- 
cond King af Scots , whileft he was therein detained 
priſoner. Another wherein Lord Mortimer was ſur- 
priſed in the non-age of King Edward the third, ever 
fince bearing thename of Mortimers Hole; theſe have 
their ftaires and ſeverall roomes made artificially 
even out of the Rocks : asalſo in that hillare dyel- 
ling houſes with winding ftaires, windows, chim- 
neys, and roome above roome , wrought all outof 
the ſolide Rocke, The Caftle is ſtrong, and was 
kept by the Dares againſt Burthred, Echelred, and El- 
fred, the Mercian, and Weſt-Saxon Kings, who toge- 
ther laid their fiege againſt it: and - the further 
ſtrength of the Towne King Edward, ſurnamed the 
Elder, walled it about, whercof ſome part as yet re- 
maines, from the Caſtle to the Weſt-gate, and 
thence the foundation may be perceived to the 
North; wherein the midft of the way ranging with 
this banke, ſtands a gate of Stone,and the ſame tract 
paſſing along the North part may well be perceived: 
the reft to the River, and thenceto the Caſtle are 
builr upon, and thereby buried from fight: whoſe 
Circuit, as I tooke it, extendeth two thouſand one 
hundred and twentie paſes. 

(7) Inthe warres betwixt Stephen and Maud the 
Emprefſe, by Robert Earle of Gloceſter theſe Walles 
were caft down, when alſo the:Towne it ſelfe ſuffer- 
ed the calamitie of fire: but recovered toherformer 
eſtate, hath ſince increaſed in beauty and wealth,and 
at this day is governed by a Maior and fixe Alder- 
men,clad1in skarlet,two Sheriffs, two Chamberlains, 
a Town-clerke, and ix Sergeants with Maces, their 
attencers: whoſe poſition hath the pole elevated fit- 
tie three degrees, 2x. minutes in Latitude, and hath 
the Meridian nine degrees and 2x. minutes. This 
town hath been honored by theſe Princes titles, and 
theſe Princes dignified with the Earldom of Notting- 
ham , whoſe ſeverall Armesin the Card it ſelfeis in- 
ſerred to fight. Religious houſes that have been e- 
rected and now ſuppreſſed in the compaſle of this 
County, chiefly were New#ed, Lenton,Shelford,South- 
well, Thurgarton, Blith, Welbeck and Radford, in Not- 
tinghans the White and Gray Fryers, beſides a little 
Chappell dedicated toS. 19h. All which (hew the 
devotions of thoſe former times : which their re- 
membrance may move, if not condemn us,that have 
more knowledyge, burfarre lefle pierie. 

The Shiresdiviſionis principally intotwo : which 
the Inhabitants terme the Sand and the Clay , bur 
for Taxe tothe Crowne, or ſervice for State, Dart: 
ed into eight Wapentakes or Hundreds, wherein 
are ſeated 168. Pariſh-Churches,

© 5 the courſes and confluents of great 
Rivers, are for the moſt eſh 
in memory, though their and 
J_ fountainslye commonly unknown: 
ſo the latter knowledge of great 
Regions, are not traduced to obli- 
vion, though their firſt ori 
ginals be obſcure,by reaſonof Anti- 
quitie, and the many revolutions of times and ages. In the 
delineation therefore of this great Province of Norkeſtire, 
I will not inſiſt upon the narrationof matters neere untous; 
but ſaccinRly run over ſuch asare more remote; yetneither 
ſo ſparingly , as I may ſeetne to diminiſh from the dignitic 
of ſo worthy a Countrey ; nor ſo prodigally, as to ſpend 
time in the 2uoqyeonrry © vom dub woe ich never any (as 
p00) Andalthough perhaps it may ſceme a la- 
unneceſlary , to make relation of ancient remembran- 
ces, cither of the Name or Nature of this Nation, eſpecially 
looking into the difference of Time it ſelfs ( which in cyery 
age bringeth forth divers effeAs) and the diſpoſitions of 
men, that for the moſt part take leſſe pleaſure in them, then 
indivilging the occurrents of their own times : yet I hold 
it not unfit to begin there , from whence the firſt certaine 
direQion is given to. proceed; for ( eyen of theſe ancient 
things) there may bo good uſe made, cither by imitation, 
or way of compariſon, agneither the reperition; nor the re- 
petition thereof ſhall be accounted impertinent. 
(2) You ſhall therefore underſtand 3 That the Countic 
of Yorks was in the Saxox-tongue called Eveppic-peype, 


of her miles,then any Shire of Exgland. Sheis much bound 
to the ſingular love and motherly care of Nature , 


inpla- 
| cing her under ſotemperate aclime , that in every mores 


ſhe is indifferently fruntfull. Tf one part of her be ſtony, and 
a ſandy barrain ground 2 another is fertile 
with Corn. fields. If you here finde it naked, anddeſtitute 


ry fruitfall and profitable branches. Tfone place of itbe 
Mooriſh, Myric, and unpleaſant ; another makes a free ten- 
derof delight, and preſents it ſelfe to the eye, full of beau- 
tic and contentive vanictie. | 
(3) The Biſhoprickof Durban fronts her on the North- 
fide , and is ſeparated by a continued courſe of the River 
Tees. The Germane Sea lycth fore upon her Eaſt-(ide, bea- 
ting the ſhoares with her boiſterous waves and billows, 
The Welt part is bounded with Lavcaſtire , and Weſtmer- 
land. The Southe(ide hath (beſtire and Darbi/vire ( friendly 
Neighbours unto her) withthe which ſheis firſt incloſed: 
then with Nottingham and with Lincolne ſvires : after divi- 
ded with that famous Arme of the Sea Humber: Tnto which 
all the Rivers that watcr this Country, emptic themſelves, 
and pay their ordinary Tributes, as into the common recep- 
tacle and Store-houſe of Neptune , for all the watery Penli- 
ons of this Provinces 
(4) This whole Shire (being of it ſelfe ſo ſpacious ) for 
the more cafic and better ordering of her civill govern- 
ment, is divided into three parts: whichaccording to three 
quarters of the world,are called The Weſt-Riding,T he Eaft- 
Riding , and The North-Riding : Weſt- Riding is for a 
| pen" pony with the River O*ſe; with the bounds of 
aſhire, and with the South limits of the Shire, and bea- 
reth towards the Welt and Sonth. Zaft- Riding bends it ſelfe 
tothe Occan, with the which, and with the River Der- 
went (hee is incloſed, and looks into that part where the 
Sunne riſing , and ſhewing forth his beames, makes the 
world both glad and glorions in his brightnefle. North- 
| Riding extends it ſelf Northward, hem'din asit were, with 
the River Tees and Derwent, andalong race of the River 
Onſe. The of this Shire , extended from Harebil in 


unto 90. miles, the bredth from Flambrowgh-bead to Horn- 
eoftle - the River Zx», is 80. the whole Circumference 
308. TT 

(5 ) The Soile of this County for the generalitie isrea- 


within it ſelfe. One part whereof is parti made fa- 
| mous a Quarry of Stone, out of which the oily newly 
hewen be very ſoft, but ſeaſoned with winde an&weather 


of themſelves doe naturally become exceeding hard and 


"69 1" 


Expgpoc-rcype , and Ebopa-rcype, andhow commonly | 
T7 adv, bers greater and morenumerous in the Circuit | 


richly adorned | 


of Woods, you ſhall ſee it there ſhadowed with Foreſts | 
full of trees, that haye very thicke bodies, ſending forth ma- |

eth, which being burnt, and conveyed into the other parts 
of the conntrey,which are hilly and ſomewhat cold, ſerve to 
manure and enrich their Corn-fields. 

(6) That the Rowars flouriſhing in Military proweſle, 
made their ſeyerall ſtations in this Countrey , is made ma- 
nifeſt by their Monyments, by many Inſcriptions faſtned 
inthe walles of Churches, by many Columnes engraven 
with Romar-worke found lying in Churchyards , by many 
yotive Altars di I w7” were creted(as it ſhould ſeeme) 
to their Tutelar (for they had localland peculiar To- 
pick Gods , whom they honoured as Keepers and Guardi- 
ans of ſome particular places of the Countrey ) agalſoby a 
kinde of Bricks which they uſed: for the Romans in time 
of Peace, toayoyd and withſtand idleneſle, ( as an enemie 
| | to yertuous or deer row ones —_ their 

jonsand Cohorts in caſting of Di making of High» | 
wn building of Bridges, and making of Bricks, which | 
having ſithence been found, and from time to time digd 
out of the » prove the antiquitic of the place by the 
Romane Inſcriptions Cm. | 

(7) Nolefſe argument of the pietie hereof, are the ma- 
ny Momaſterics, Abbeys, and Rcligious houſes that have 
beenplaced in this Countrey z which whileſt they retained 
their owne ſtate and magni e , were great ornaments | 
unto it : but ſince their diffolution,and that the tecth of time | 
( which devyoures all things ) have caten into them, they are | 
become like dead carkaſſes, leaving onely ſome poore ruines 
and remaines alive, as reliques to polteritie, to ſhew of | 
what beautic and  magnificence they have beence. Such was 
the Abbey of hithy, founded by Lady Hilde, daughterof 
the grand childe upto King Edwine, Such was the Abbey 
built by Bolton, which is now ſo razed and laid levell with 
the carth, as that at this time it affords no appearance of the 
former dignitic. Such was Kirk/tall Abbey, of no ſmall ac- 
| countin time paſt , founded in the yeere of Chriſt 1147. 
Such was the renowned Abbey called S., aries in Yorke, 
' | built andendowed with rich livings by 41a» the third Earle 
of little Britaine in eArmerica ; but ſince converted into the 
Princes Houſe, and is called The Mannoxr. Such the weal- | 
thy Abbey of Foxntaines , built by Thurſtin Arch-biſhop of 
Yorke, Such the famous Monaſtery founded inthe Primi- 
tive Churchof the Eaſt-Saxons, by Wilfrid Arch-biſhop of 
Yorke, and enlarged (being fallen downand decayed) by 
| Odo Arch-biſhop of Canterbury. Such was Drax a Reli- 
gious Houſe of Chanons. Such that faire Abbey built by | 
King William the Conqueronr at Selby (where his ſon Henry 
the Feſt was born ) in memory of Saint German, who hap- 
pily confated that contagious Pelagian Hereſie, which of- 
tentimes grew to Serpentine head in Britaine. | 

Theſe places for Religion creed, with many more-} Cauſes of di- 
within this Provinciall Circuit , and conſecrated unto holy | miniſhing 
purpoſes, ſhew the Antiquitic, and how they have been | Chureli- 
ſought unto by confluences of Pilgrimes in their manner of | ">" 
devotions: The miſts of which ſuperſtitious obſcurities,arc 
ſince cleared by the pure light of the Goſpell revealed, and 
the skirts of Idolatry unfolded to her own ſhameand igno- 
minie : And they made ſubje& to the difſolutionof Times, 
ſerving onely as antique monuments and remembrances to 
the memory of ſucceeding Ages. | 

($) Manyplaces of this Province are famouſed as well 
by Name, being naturally fortunate in their ſituation, as for 
ſome other accidentall happinefle befallen unto them. Ha- 
lifax,famous,as well for that Jobawnes de ſacro Boſco, Author 
of the Sphere, was born there, and for the law it hath againlt | 
ſtealing, and for the greatneſſe of the Pariſh, whichreckon- 
cth init eleven Chappels, whereof two be Pariſh- Chappels, 
| andin them tothe number of twelve thouſand people. 

In former times it was called Hortos , and touching the 
alteration of rhe rrame , thispretic Story is related of it; 
namely, That a Cterke ( for fo they call him) being farre 
in love with a maid , and by no meanes cither of long prai- 
fra ox lugha prot "0p to gaine like affeRtion at her 
hands, whenhe ſaw his hopesf c, and that he was not 
like to have his purp! her, turned his. love into rage, 
and cut off the maids head, which being afterwardshung 
upon an Ewe tree, commonly people counted it as an bal- 
lowed relique till it wasrotten : And afterward ( ſuch was | 
the credulitic of that time ) it maintained the opinion of re- 
yerence and religion till : for the reſorted thither | 
on Pilgrimage, and perſwaded themſclyes, that the little

CHAPTER XL. 


mm ——————— 


H x other Diviſion, which is called 
the Weſt-Riding of Yorkeſhire , lying 
towards the North-Weſt, carryeth a 
great compaſle : On the North-fide 
it borders upon partof the North-Ri- 
ding : On the Eft upon part of the 

| | Eaſt- Riding ,and part of Lincoln-ſtire. 

" The Weſt-fide is neighboured with 
part of Lauea-ſhire: The South confined with Notting. 
ham and part of Darby- ſires. | 

(2) The Ayre unto which this Countie is ſabje&, is for 

themolt part frigid and cold, much ſubje& to ſharpe winds, 


tions of weather: in ſo much as the people of this Province 
arc inured to maintaina moderate and ordinary heat in their 
bodies,by an extraordinary hardneſſc of labour , and thereby 
become very healthfull, and not fo often afflited with infir- 
mities, as others are thatlive more caſily. 

(3) Al the Solle in the generalitie be not fruitfull, 
as lying very high and full of "ag ed rockesand ſwelling | 
mountaines, yet the ſides thereof ſtooping in ſome places 
doe beare good grafle, and the bottomes and yallies are not 
altogether unfertill, That part that borders upon Laxcaſvire 
is ſo mountainous and waſte, ſounſightly and fullof folita- 
rineſſe, that the bordering neighbours call certaine little Ri- 
yers that creepealong this way, by a contemptible name, 
Hell becks. That part againe , where the River Yre cutteth 
thorow the vale called Wendſ-dale, is very good ground, 
where great flockesof ſheepe doe paſture , and which, in 
ſome places, donaturally yeeld great plenty of Lead-ſtones: 
In other places, where the hils are barren and bare of Corne 
and Cattle, they make arecompence of thoſe wants by the 
ſtore of Copper, Lead, and Stone, or Pit-coale, with the 
which they are abundantly furniſhed. That part where the 
River Swale running downe Eaſt-ward , out of the Weſt 
Mountaines ( with a violent and ſwift ſtreame ) to unlade 
her ſelfe into the River Yre, and paſſing along alarge and 0- 
pen vale , which derives the name from her , andis called 


and for the lacke of woods, which doth here much pinch 
the people, they are requited againe with plentie of grafle, 
which this place yeclds them in great abundatice. Thus 
hath provident nature for every diſcommoditic made a- 
mends with a contrarietie , and furniſhed the defeRgof one 

place with ſufficient ſupply from another. 

(4) The ancient Inhabitants knowne unto Prolomey, and 
of whom there is other mention made, as well in the gene- 
rall and other particular diviſions of Torke-ſvire, as in the 
Countries likewiſe joyning in proximitie unto them, were 
the Brigantes , ſubdued by the Romanes. And becauſe the 
r@vme belt fitted for the Citie of Torke, in this Chard I have 
placed it, whoſe —_— you may finde in the Generall ; 

ſo the North-riding , ſpacious to containe the ſites of the 

ing place there torclateof both, I am conſtrained to ſpeake 

of the latter here ; deſiring my Reader to beare with theſe 

necellitics. Richmond the chicfte Towne of the North-Ri- 

ding, ſcatedupon Swale, ſeemed to have been fenced with 

a Wall , whoſe Gates yet ſtand inthe midſt of the Towne, 

ſo that the Suburbs are extended farre without the fame. 

It is indifferently p Sand well frequented, the people 

moſt imployed in knitting of Stockings , wherewith even 
the decrepit, and children,get their own livings. 

(5) 4lanthe firſt Earle thereof, diſtruſting the ſtrength 
of Gilling (a Manorhouſe of his not farre off, called by Bede 
Gerhling ) to withſtand the violence of the Daxzes and Eng- 
liſh, whom the Normans had deſpviled of their inheritance, 
built this Towne, and gave it & name, calling it Rich= 
ond, as one would ſay , The Rich-Afount, which he forti= 
fied with a Wall and ſtrong Caſtle ſet upon a Rocke 3 for 
Gilling ever fince the time that Ofivy King of Northumber- 
land (being there Gucſt-wiſe entertained) was murthe- 
rouſly made away, was more regarded in reſpe& of Reli- 
gion, then for any ſtrength it had: inexpiation of which 
murther, the Monaſtery was founded and had in great ac- 
count among our Anceſtors. This Towne for the admini- 
ſiration of government , hath an Alderman yeerely choſen 
out of twelve Brethren, who is aſſiſted by twentie foure 
Burgeſſes, a Recorder, foure Chamberlaincs, and two Scr- 


| | geants at Mace, The poſition of this place for Latitude is ſet 


| 


hard froſts, andother intemperate and Winter-like diſpoſi- | 


Swale-dale , hath a neighbouring place full of Lead-Oare : | 


Townes, Hall and Richmond, are therein charged: but want= | 


(6) Things of raritie and worthy 


Eaward the fourth, having not as yet becne pierced into. 
Allo, thoſe Mountaines, on the top whereof are found cer- 
taine ſtones much like unto Sea-winkles, Cockles , and o- 
ther Seaefiſh ; whichif they benot the wonders of nature, 
yet with Oroſius (a Chriſtian Hiſtoriographer ) we may 
deeme to be the undoubted tokens of the generall Deluge, 
that in Noahs time over-flowed the whole face ofthe carth. 
Alſo the River Swale ( ſpoken of before ) which among the 
ancient Engliſh was reputed a yery facred River, and cele- 
brated with an univerſall glory, for that (the Engli/-Saxons 
firſt embracing Chriſtianitie ) in one day about ten thouſand 
men, beſidesa multitude of women and children, were 
therein baptized unto Chriſt, by the hands of Paulinu 
Arch-biſhop of Yorke : A holy ſpeQacle, when out of one 


Rivers Channel ſo great a progenie ſprung up, for the cele- 


ſtzall and heavenly Citi. 

(7) Places in clder times had in great eſtimation with 
tho Romanes, were Bayntbridge, where they in thoſe dayes 
had a Garriſon lying, the reliques whereof are thereremain- 
ing. Bowes, in Antonines Itinerary called Lavatre or Leva- 
tre, ( bothby the account of diſtance, and the ſite thereof,by 
the high ſtrect of the Roxxans) confirmes the antiquitic by 
a large ſtone found in the Church, ſometimes uſed for an 
Altar-ſtone, with aninſcriptionupon it tothe honour of the 
Emperour Hadrian, The firſt Cohort alſoof the Thracians 
lay here in Garriſon , whileſt Jiri Lupus ruled as Lieute» 
nant Generall, and Propretor of Britaine under the Empe- 
rour Sever, as appeates by inſcriptions from hence tranſla- 
tedto Connington in Hentingtonſvire. Here alſo in the de» 
clining eſtate of the Romane Empire , the Bandor Compa- 
ny of the Exploratores kept their Station, under the diſpoſe

{yp The Biſhopricke of Dvz nu am, 


He Biſhoprick of Durham contain- | 

eth thoſe parts and Town. ſhips 
$ that lye betwixt the River Tees 
' and Derwent, andall along the 
Germane-Seas. It is neighbour. 
Y ed on the North with Nor- 
thumberland, and their Juriſdi- 
tions, parted by -the River 
Derwent : her Weſt is touched by Cumberland, Weſt- 
morland, and from Staine-more divided by the River 
Tees,and by the ſame water on her South, from York- 
ſhire even unto the Sea, and the Eaft is altogether 
coafted by the Germane-Seas. 


F 


much differing ; for from her South-Eaft, unto the 
Weſt-point,are about thirty miles ; from thence to 
her North-Eaft and Tyze-mouth, are likewiſe as ma- 
ny , and her baſe along the Sea-ſhore are twenty 
three ; the whole in circumference, about one hun- 
dred and three miles, 

( 3) The Ayre is ſharpe and very piercing, and 
would be more, were it not that the vapours from 
the German-Seas did helpe much to diffolve her ice 
and ſnow : and the ftore of Coales therein growing 
and gotten, doe warmethe body, and keepe backe 
the cold, which fuell, befides their owne uſe, doth 
yeeld great commodities unto this Province , by 
trade thereof into other parts. 

(4) For ſoile, it confifteth much alike of paſtures, 
arable,and barren grounds:the Faſt is the richeſt and 
moſt champion, the South more mooriſh, but well 
inhabited ; her Weſt all rockie,withour either grafſe 
or graine, notwithſtanding recompenceth her poſ- 
ſeflors with as great gaine, both in rearing up cattle, 
and bringing forth coale, whereof all this County is 
plentifully ſtored, and growethſo neere to the upper 
face. of the earth, that in the trod wayes the cart- 
wheeles do turneup the ſame. Some hold their ſub- 


heat abounding in the earth, and ſo becoming con- 
coed, is nothing elſe but Bitumen; for proofe wher- 


| become great, and William the Conqueronr, of a Bi-

ſous coft laid the foundations of a new, wherein

folkes, And the repute ofthis Cuthbert and his ſuppo- 
ſcddefence againit the Scors was ſuch, that our Eng- 
{ih Kingsin great deyotion have gonein pilgrimage 
to viſite his Tombe, and have given many large po. 
ſeffionsto his Church: ſuch were King Egfrid, £1-- 
fred, and Guthrun the Dane, Edward,and A thelſtan 
Monarch of England,and zealous Canute,the greateſt 
of all, who came thither bare. footed,and at Cuthbert s 


berties. This Saintthen, of nothing made Durham 


ſhoprick made ita County Palatine:atthattime William 
Careleph,Biſhop of the Dioceſle, pulled down the old 


S. Cathberts Shrine in the vacancie of the Biſhops, 
was the Keeper of the Caſtle-keyes. 

Inthe Weſt ofthis Church, and place called Galli. 
le, the Marble Tombe of venerable Beds remainerh, 


a Monk at Weremouth, whoſe paintull induftries 
and light of learning in thoſe times of darkenefle are 
wonderfull, as the Volumes which he wrote do well 
declare. And had the idle Monkes of England im- 
ployed their times after hisexample, their founders 
expeQations had not been fruſtrate, nor thoſe foun- 
dationsſo eaſily overturned. But the revenge offin 
ever following the ations of finnes, diſſolved firſt 
the largeneſſes ofthis Counties liberties , underthe 
raigne of King Eaward the firft, and fince hath ſha- 


Tombe both augmented and confirmed their Li- | 


ken to pieces thoſe places herein ereted, under the 
raigne of King Henry the eight: ſuch were Darham, 
Sherborne, Stayndrop, Iarro, Weremouth, and Ezleton, 
all which felt the reward of their idlenefſe,and wrath 
ofhim thar is jealous of his owne honour. © |

three Pits ota wonderfull depth, commonly called 
the Hell-Xettles,which are adjoyning neer unto Dar-

of, theſe Coales have both the like ſmell and ope- 
ration of Bitumen : for being ſprinckled with water, 
they burne more vehemently, but with Oyle are 
quite extinguiſhed and pur our. 

(5) The ancient Inhabitants knowne unto Ptole- 
mie,were the Brigantes, of whom we have ſpoken in 
the Generall of Torkſbire, they being ſubdued by the 
Romans after whom the Saxons made it apart of their 
Northumberlands Kingdeme;at firſt a Province belon-

"CHAPTER XLIII 


EsTxoxLAND, by ſome late 
' Latine Writers is called Weſ- 


twelve miles. 
(3) The forme thereofis ſomewhat long and nar- 
row: the Ayre ſharpe and piercing, purging it ſelte 


from thetrouble ofgroſle foggy miſts and vapours, 


by reaſon of which the people: of this Province are 
notaccquainted with ftrangediſcaſes or imperfecti- 
ons of body, but livelong, andare healthfull, and 
attaine to the number of many yeares. | 

(4) The Soile forthe moſt part ofir, is but barren, 
and can hardly be brought toany fruitfulnes by the 
induſtry and paifull labour of the husbandman , 
being ſofullofinfertile places, which the Northern 
Engliſhmen call Moores: yet the more —_— pe 
is not reported to be ſofterile, but more fruittull-in 
the vallies, though contained in a narrow roome , 
betweene the River Lone, and Winander-mear, and it 
isalltermed by one name. The Barony of Kendale 
or Candale, that is, thedale by Cay, taking the name 
of the River Cay that runnes through it. 

(5) The ancient Inhabitants of this Country were 
the Brigantes, mentioned inthe ſeverall Counties of 
Yorke, Lancaſter, and Cumberland. 

(6): It is not commendedeither forplenty ofcorn 
or Cattle, being neither ſtored with arable grounds 
to;briog forth the one , norpaſturage to breed up 
the other: the principal profit that the people of this 
Province raiſe untothemſelves, is by Cloathing. 

7) The chiefeſt place of which is Kanaaleor 
Kendale, calledalſo Kirkeby Kendale, ſtanding on the 
bankof the river Cay. This Towne is of great trade 
and reſort, and forthe diligent and induſtrious pra- 
ciſe of making Cloath ſoexcels the reſt, thatin re- 
gard thereof it carrieth a ſapereminent name aboye 
them, and hath great vent and traffick for her wool- 
lenCloathsthroughalltheparts of England. It chal- 
leagechnot much glory for Antiquirie ; onely this 
it accountetha great credit, that it hath dignified 
three Earles with the title thereof, as 1ohn Duke of 
Bedfard, whom Henry the fifc ( being his brother ) 


| advanced tothat honour, oh» Duke of Sommerſet 


and 1ohn de Foix, whom King Henry the fixt prefer- 
red to that dignitic for his honourable and truftie 
ſervicesdone in the French Warres. It isa place of 
very ciyilland orderly Government, the which is 
managed by an <{/derman, choſen every yeare out 
of histwelve Brethren, who areall diſtinguiſhed and 
notified from the reſt by the wearing of Purple gar- 
ments. The Alderman and his Senior Brother are 
alwayes Juſtices of Peaceand Quorum. There are 


- |in ita Town-Clerke, a Recorder two Sergeants at 


Mace, and two Chamberlaines. By Mathematical! 
obſervation the fite of this Towne is in the de- 


gree of Longitude'r7. 30. ſcruples, from the firſt 


"Y —_

Weſt point, andthe Pole elevated in Latitude to; 
the degree 55. and x5. minutes. k : 
(8): Places of memorable note for Antiquitieare 
Fertere, mentioned by Antronine the Emperour ; and 
Aballaba,which-we contratly call Apelby.Inthe one 
the Northern Engliſh conſpired againſt Witiem the 
Conquerour in the beginning of the Norman govern! 
ment. In the other, the Aurelian Manres oe a ſtati-. 
onin the time of the Rowanes , &their hig 
"= apparantly ro be ſeen by the ridges therof which 


cad by Apelby toaplace called Brovonacuw,,mentio. |- 


ned in the Booke of Provinciall notices. The anticke 
pieces of Rowan Coyne otherwhiles digged up here=. 
abouts, and ſome inſcriptions not long fince found; 


thew of what continuance they have been: although | 
Time, whichdevourcth all things, hath ſo fed upon | 


their carkaſſes many ages rogether, asithathalmoſt 
conſumed both houſes and [nhabitants. For Apelby 
now is bare both of people and building; and were ir 
not for the antiquitie that makes it the more eſtima- 
ble,in whoſe Caftlethe Afliſes are commonly kepr, 
it would be little better in account thena Village. 
Vertere is long ſince decayed , and the name of it 
changed into Burgh: foritis comonly named Burgh 
under Sranemore. In which, it is ſaid, a Romane Cap- 
tain made his abode witha band of DireFores, inthe 
declining age of the Rowen Empire. Theſetwo pla- 
ces William of Newborough calleth Princely Holds, 
and writeth that Wiſliam King of Scots a little before 
he himſelfe was takenpriſoner at AH Inewicke, ſurpri- 
zed them on a ſuddain, but K. 19h» recovered then 
after, andliberally beſtowed them upon Rober: 7 i- 
pont for his many worthy ſervices. | 
(9) Thereis mention made but of one religious 
houſe that hath bin inall this Country, and that was 
alittle Monaſtery ſeated neereunto the River Lodey 
built by Thomas the ſonne of Goſp atrick, the ſonne of 
Orms:where there isa fountaine orſpring that ebbes 
and flowes many times aday, and itis thought that 
ſome notable att of atchievement hath beenperfor- 
med there,for that there be huge ſtones in forme of 
Pyramides,ſome nine foote high, and fourteen foor 
thick, ranged for a mile in length direAly inarow, 
and equa! by diftant, which might ſeeme to have bin 
there purpoſely pitched in memory thereof: but 


what that A& was, is not now knowne, but quite | 


worne out of remembrance by times injury. 

(10) Other matters worthy obſervationare onel 
theſe : that at L{mboglans, now called CLHmble-ſide, 
neere the upper corner of Wimander-mear, there ap- 
peares at this day the ruines of an ancient Citie , 
which by the Britiſh Brickes, by Romwan-money often- 
times found there, by High-wayes paved leading un- 
co it, and other likelihoods, ſeemes to have beene a 
worke of the Romanes : The Fortrefle therofſolong 


fenced withaditchand rampire, that it tooke upin | 
length one hundred thirty two Ells, and in bredth 


eight, There are alſo ncere Kerdale in the River 
Can, two Catadape or Waterfals, where the waters 
deſcend with ſuch a forcible downefall, that it com- 
pelsa mighty noiſe to be heard, w* the neighbour 
Inhabitants make ſuch uſe of, as they ſtand them 
inas good ſtead as Prognoftications : for when thar 
which tandeth North from them ſoundeth more 
cleare, and with alouder eccho in their eares, they 
certainely looke for faire weather to follow : But 
when that on the South doth the like, they expe 
foggy miſtsard ſhowres of raine. | | 

(11) This Province is traded with foure Market- 
Towns, fortified with the ſtrength of ſeven Caſtles, 
and hath 26. Pariſhes ia it for the celebration of Di: : 
vine ſervice.

H E Countic of Northumberland, 
= which the Engliſh Saxons called 
A Nopt-humbeplono , hath on the 
South the Biſhopricke of Darhem, 
W- being ſhut in with the River Der- 
*D) went, and with Tyne; the North is 
=—_——  confincd upon Scotland, tho Welt up- 


| : ® onpart of Scotland, and part of Cum- 
berland : the Eaſt-ſide licth altogether upon the Sea, called 
Iare-Germanicum, 

(2 ) The forme thereof is Triangle , and differs not 
much in the ſidings; for from her South-Eaſt unto the 
South-Weſt-point arc ncerc unto fortic miles;from thence 
to her North-point ate ſixtic miles, and her baſe along the 


.| Sea-ſhore fortie-five miles: The whole in circumference is 


about one hundred fourtie five miles. 

( 3) The Ayre muſt needs be ſubtle and picrcing, for 
that the Northernly partsare melt expoſed to extremity of 
weathers , as great windes, hard froſts, and long lying of 
then it is, 
were not the Germane Seasa ready means to futher the dif- 
ſolution of her 1ce and Snow, and the plcntie of Coales 
there gotten, a great helpe to comfort the bodic with 
warmth, and defend the bitter coldneſſe. 

(4) The Soyle cannot be rich, having neither fertility of 
ground for corne or cattell, the moſt part ofit being rough, 
and in every place hard to be manured, ſave onely towards 
the Sea and the River Tyxe, where, by the great diligence 
and induſtrious paines of good husbandry , that part is be-' 
come very fruitfull. 

( 5 ) The ancient Inhabitants of this Countrey, mentio- 
ned by Prolemy,were called Ortalini,Ottadeny, and Ottads- 
i, Whichby an caſie alteration, (as Maſter Cambaen ſaith ) 
if it had beene called Oztarini, ſignifying, above the Tyme, or 


| on the further (ide of Tyxe ( for ſo this people were plan- 


ted ) there would have beene much confonance both with 


the name of the Inhabitants , and the Poſition and Site of | 


the Proyince. 


(6) The chicfeſt commoditie that enricheth this Coun- | 


tie arc thoſe ſtones Linthancraces,which we call Sea-coales, 
whereof there isſuchplentic and abundance digged up, as 
they doe not onely returne a great gaine to the Inhabitants, 
but procure alſo much pleaſure and profit to others. 

(7) No place of this Province vents forth ſo many of 
theſe Sea-coalcs into other regions as Neweafte doth, bein 
the very cyc of all the Townes in this Countie z for it dot 
not onely miniſter relicfe ( by ſuch proviſion ) toall other 
parts of E:glava,but doth alſo furniſh the wants of forraine 
Countrics with her plentie. By meancsof this , and the in- 
tercourſe of Trafficke which it hath,the place is growne ex- 
ceedipg rich and populous, Before the Conquelt it was cal- 
led Monk: chefter : having beene (asit ſeemed) in the poſ- 
ſeſſion of Morkes : and Cheſter being added, which ſigni» 
fies a bulwark or place of defence , ſhewes that in ancient 
time it had becnaplace of fortification. 

(8) After the Conqueſt it got the name of Newcaſtle, 
by the new Caſtle which Robert the Sonne of Williemthe 
Conqueror built there,out of the ground. What it was cal- 
ledinold time is not knowne, yet ſome arc of opinion that 
it may be thought to have been Gatreſentumfor that Gateſ- 
bead, the ſuburbe (as it were) of the ſame,cxpreſl:thin the 
owne proper ſignification that Britiſs name Gatroſentum, 
It isnow moſt ennobled both by the Haven ( which Tye 
maketh) f that notable depth, that it b:areth very tall ſhips, 
and isable to defend them againſt ſtorms and tempeſts. As 
alſo by many fayours and honours wherewith it hath beene 
dignified by Princes : for Richard the ſecond, granted that a 
Sword ſhould be carricd before the Maior , and Hevry the 


' fixt made it a Countie , conſiſting of a Corporation with- 
| in it ſelfe. It is adorned with foure Churches , and fortified 


with ſtrong walls that haye cight gates. It is diſtant from 


| the firſt Welt line 21. degrees and 30. minutes, and from 
| the EquinoRiall line towards the North pole 34. degrees 


and 57. minutes. 

(9) The utmoſttowne in Englazd, and the ſtrongeſt 
hold in all Britaize , is Barwick. From whence it had the 
name isnot certainely made knowne. Some fetch it from 
Berengarius a Duke (never read of :) ſome ſay it wascalled 
Beopnicaeþic in the old Exgliſs- Saxon tongue, which is the 
Towne of the Bernicians. Howlſocycr , this is betterto be 
{aid then truſted : and whenceſoever it hath the name, it is 
ſeated betweene two mightic Kingdoms, ſhooting far into 


A Fl _Y 


the Sea, withthe which, and the River Ted, it isalmaſt | 


encompaſſed 2 and whenfoever any diſoord fellbetweene 
the two Nations, this place was the firſt thing they tooke 


care of. It hath indared the brunts of divers iaroades and in+- | 


curſions, and been oftentimes both poſſeſſed and repoſkeſſed 
of the Scots and Englifs: But ſince it wasreduced under the 
command of Edward the fourth, our Kings haye from time 
to time ſoſtrengthened it withnew workes and fortifica» 
tions, asthey cut off all hopes of winning it. The Govers- 
nour of this Towne is alſo Wardenof the Eaſt Marches a- 


gainſt Scotland, The longitude of it according to Mathema- 


ticall obſervation, is 2x degrees and 43. minutes : the lati- 
tude 55. degrees and 48. minutes. 

( 10) The Inhabitantsof this Countic are a warlike pco- 
ple , and excellent light horſemen, and are made fierce and 
hard by the ſeverall encounters of the Scors, and not much 
unlike them in neither, betwixt whom 1n this County ma- 
ny battels have beene fought , and the ſucceſſes oftentimes 
waved thoraw very doubtfully, the victory ſometimes fal- 
ling to the Score, ſometimes to the Enxgliſp, At Orterburne 
was one, in which three or foure times it ſtood doubtfully 
indifferent, till in the end, the Scors got the upper hand of 
the Engliſh : Howbcit their glory was not made ſo illuſtri- 
ous by this Conqueſt , but that it was as much darkned by 
the foile they reccived at e-Luwicke, where William King of 
the Scots, was taken and preſented priſoner to Henry the 2. 
Asalfo by that battell at Bramridge, where King Athelftan 
fought apitcht ficld againſt e-Lulafe the Dane, Conſtantive 
= of Scots, and Ewgenixe king of Cumberland, and that 
with ſach fortunate ſucceſle, as it hath left matter ſufficient 
to fill the ponsof Hiſtorians. Fleddes field alſo memorable 
in the death of Tewes the fourth , king of Scots, who was 
there ſlaine,and his Armic overthrowne in a ſharpe fight; as 
hee diſplayed his Banner ( in great hope) againſt England, 
when king Henry the 8.lay at the ſiege of Twrxay in Fraxce. 

(11) Otherbattcls in this Countic haye been, as that at 

Hexam (called by Bede, Hanguſtald) wherein John Nevill 
Aargueſſe Montacute,cncountred the Leaders of the Lay- 
caſtrian tation with much courage , and with greater ſuc- 
cefle put them toflight , for which hee was made Earle of 
Northumberland by Edward ths fourth. As alſo that at Dit- 
ſon (by Bede called Dinelsburne,) where Oſwaldbaying the 
faithof Chriſt for his defence and armour,ſl:w Cedwall the 
Britaine ina ſet battell, himſelf ſtraight-wayes becomming 
a profefſed Chriſtian, and cauſing his people to be inſtructed 
in Chriſtian Religion. 

(12) Many memorable Antiquities are found in this 


| Countrey along the wall, and in other places: As picces of 


Coyne, Inſcriptions, broken and unprefe& Altars, &c. (the 
ruines of the wall yet to be ſeene : (but none that deſerves 
more tobe remembred then Wall-Town (by Bede called 4d 
Murnm)tor that Segbert King of the Eaff-Saxons was in it 


baptized in the Chriltian faith by the hands of Paulinu: and 


Halſton , where the ſame Paxlinu is ſaid to have bapti- 
zed many thouſands in the faith of Chriſt, inthe Primitive 
Churchof the Engliſh Nation. 

( 13) Bu«ſj-gap isaplace infamons for robbing and thee- 
ving,and is therefore rather remembredas a cautiatory note 
for ſuch as have cauſc totrayell that way, then for any pro- 
per matter of worth it hath, that merits place with other 
parts of this Province. 

Other matters of obſervation are onely theſe, that North

eth it a Demy Iland. The Bri. 

taines name it Ins cMedicante, 

for that it twice every day ſuf. 

fereth an extraordinary inunda- 

tion and over-flowng of the Occan in manner of 

an Iland , which twice likewiſe makes it continent 

to the Land, and returhing unto her watry habitati- 

on, laies the Shoare bare again, as before. Iris cal- 

ledin Engliſh, Holy-1land, for that inancient times 

many Monks havebeen accuftomed to retire them- 

ſelves thither, and to makeit their receptacle for 

ſolitude : having on the Weſt and South , Nor. 

thumberland, and more South-Eaſtward the Iland 
Farne. | 

( 2). The form of itis long and narrow, the Weſt 
fide narrower then the Eaſt, andare both conjoyned 
by a very ſmall ſpang of Land that is lefc unto Co- 
nies. The South is much broader thenthereft. It 
is from Eaft to Weſt about two thouſand two hun- 
dred and fiftie paſes; and from North to South, 
twelve hundred and fiftie paſes ; ſo that the circum- 
ference cannot be great. 

(3) Theaire is not very good cither for health 
ordelight , as being ſeared on thoſe parts that are 
ſubje& toextremitie of cold, and Ireatly troubled 
with vapors and foggy miſts that ariſe from the 
Seas. © | 

( 4) The ſoyle cannot be rich, being rockicand 


| neither commended for hils to feed ſhe 


——— 


full offtones, andunfit for Corne andtillage. It is 
epe, nor pa- 
ſturesto fat cattle, neither hath it vallies repleniſhed 
with ſweet ſprings , or running rivellets , onely one | 
excepted , deſcending from a tanding pond. The | 
onely thing this Iland yeeldeth, is a fit and accom. | 
modate apritude for Fiſhing and Fowling. = 

( 5) Notwithſtanding thisis very worthy of note | 
concerning the ſame, which Alc#jn wroteinan Epi- 
ſtle to Egelred King of Northumberlend,namely, that | 
it wasa place more venerable then all the places of 
Britaine, and thatafterthe departure of S. Panlinus 
from Yorke, there Chriſtian Religion began in their 
Nation, though afterwards it there felt the firft be- 
ginning of miſcrieand calamitie, being left tothe 
poile of Pagans and Miſcreants, 

(6) Itisalſo remembred of this Iland, that ſome- 
times there hath been in it an Epiſcopall See, which 
Aidan the Scot inftituted (being called thitherto 
preach the Chriſtian Faith to the people of Nor- 
thumberland) being much delighted with the ſolita- 
ry ſituation thereof, as a moſt fir place for retire. 
But afterwards when the Daves rifled and robbed 
all the Sea-coafts, the Epiſcopall See was tranſlated 
to Durham. 

(7) This Iland fo ſmall in account either for 
compaſſe or commoditie, and ſo unpeopled and | 
unprofitable , cannot be numerons in Townes and 
Villages. It hath in it onely one Towne, with a 
Church and a Caftle, under which thereis a com- 
modious Haven,defendedwith aBlock-houſe, ficu- 
ateupon an hill rowards the South-Eaft, |

GARNSEY. 


' North-Weft from Jerſey , and is 
compaſſed ( like to 
bour) withthe Britiſh Sea. Itly- 
eth in length from Plymouth Bay 
South-Weſt,to Lancrofſe de Anck- 

Sadl ers North-Eaft , thirteene miles: 
inbredth from Saint Mertins point South-Eaft, to 
the Howe North-weft nine miles , and is in circuit 
thirtie ſixe miles, The Emperour Astoxine having 
the ruleand domination of France (at that time cal- 


did namethis Iland Sarsia, which afterward by the 
change of Times and corruptionof Languages, was 
longhince ( andis at this day) called Garnſecy. 

( 2 ) This lle in forme and faſhion ſtandeth in the 
Sea, much like toa Parke thatisincompaſſed round 
about with a Pale of Rocks , being very defenſible 
unto the Iland from the attempting Invaſion of e- 
nemies, 

(3) The Aire and Climate of thisIle hath little 
orno difference in temperor qualitie from that of 
lerſey, And this deſerves to be remembred of it; 
that in this Ile is neither Toade, Snake, Adder, or 


greatplentie. | 

( 4) It ftandeth for the moſt part upon arocke, 
very high in many places from the Sea, Neverthe- 
lefle the Soile is very fruitfull, yeelding forth great 
plenticof grafle for their Sheepe and other Cartell, 
which they have toſervealluſes. Their fields in the 
Summer time are fo naturally garniſhed with flow- 
ersofall ſorts, that a man ( being there) might con- | 


»His land Iyeth about five Leagues | ceit himſelfeto be inapleafant artificiall garden. 


er neigh-| t 


( 5) The Inhabitants are not ſo much givento 
© hg they of 7erſey though the ſayle be as fruit- 
full. They have of late taken great delightio plant-- 
ingand ſetting of trees of all ſorts,andeſpecially of 
_— by reaſon whereof they make much Cider. 
Their commodities are alike, and their helps from 

the Seanolefſe, orrather more. © oh 
(6) In this Ile are many great ſteepe rocky, a. 
mong which is found a hard tone called by the 


Frenchmen Smyris , which we terme Zmerill, This | 


ſtone is ſerviceable for manypurpoſes, and man 
Trades,as Glaſiers, &c. but eſpecially for the Gold- 
ſmiths and Lapidaries , tocut their precious ſtones, 
( 7) Ithatha headof Land nponthe North part 
thereof, the paſſage into which is ſo varrow, that a 
man would thinke thatat every Tide ( the Seabea- 


ting ſtrongly on both fides) itwere in a continuall | 


danger to be ſundred from the other part of the lle. 
This place iscalled'S. MichaeP3» the Yak, where ( in 
former times ) ftoeda Priory, or a Covent of Reli- 
ious perſons , the ruines whereof are at this day to 
bo ſeene. 
(8) The government of this Ile , in nature and 
formereſembles theotherof 7erſey, of whom fhall 


be ſaid. The people arein their Originall and Lan- 


guage alike alſo, but in their cuſtomes and conditi.. 


ons they come neerer the civill faſhions of the Zng- 
liſh. Other matters of moment I finde not worthy 
to be recorded. | 

It hath ten Pariſhes,and one Market Towne, be- 
ing alſoa Haven, andiscalled S. Peers Port, built 
cloſe by the Peere, and Caſtle Corner. 


I 2>ASMRgHc two llands Terſey'and Garr- | 

yn, YEN ſey, being the only remaines of 
gs the Dukedome of Normand:e, 
that in former times many 
yeers together was in thepoſ- 
P {cflion, and under the com- 
mand ofthe Kings of Exgland, 


ritory and glorious title tothe Crowne, are both 
ſeatedin the Sea called Mare Britannicum , the O- 
cean parting thema good diſtant aſunder, and are 
now both adjunts, and within the circuit of Hamp- 
ſhire. For the firſt ( being the Iſle of Zerſey ) itlyeth 
upon the Brit:þ Sea, having on the North parts the 
Coaſt of Hampſhire, and on the South the Countrie 
of Normandie. | 
(2) ThisIland is long, not much unlike the fa- 
ſhion of anegge. It containes in length trom Sext- 
won Poole apon the Weſt, to Mount Orguil Caſtle on 
the Eaſt, ten miles, and in bredthfrom Dbon Point 
to Plymonnt- bay, ſix miles : the whole circuit of the 
Land being thirtie eight miles, It isdiftant froma 
little Iland called Alderney, about foure leagues. It 
was in old timecalled Ceſarea; whetherfrom 1ulizs 
Ottaviws', orany the other Ceſars that followed, is 
unknown. But the French-men have by corruption 
of ſpeech long time calledit Terſey. 
+ . (3) Itisa very delightſome and healthfulllland, 
and giveth a pleaſant aſpeQt unto the ſeas. It lyeth 
South-ward not farre from a craggy ridge of rocks, 
which is much feared of the Mariners, and makes. 
rhe paſſage that way very dangerous , howbeit it 
| ſerves for aforcible defence againft Pirats , or any 
ſtrangersthat attempt invaſion, and they are termed 
Caſquets. | 
(4) The Soile is very rercile bringiog forth tore 
Sheep, thatare 
of reaſonable bignefſe , the moſt of them beariog 
foure hornes a peece: Their wooll very fine and

Stockings, which are ordinarily 'to be hadin moſt 
parts of England, and yeeld a great commoditie un- 
tothe Iland, -- 


either from the Normans,or Britains, orboth. They 
ſpeake French, though after a corrupt manner, and 
have continued their names, language, cuſtomes, 
and Countrey , without any, or littleintermixture, 
theſe many hundred yeers, having been under the 
juriſdiftion of the Engliſh everfince the untimely 


eldeft ſonneto iliam the Conguerenr. 

. (6) The people of this Countrey live very plea- 
ſantly,as well by the profits ofthe Land, as the helps 
and furtherances of the Sza, that yeelds unto them 
(and eſpecially in Summer ſeaſon) great ſtore of fiſh, 


and fatteſt upon the coaſt of Englayd. Woodis very 
ſcant, fortheir beſt fuell is Turte : ſome Coale they 
have brought unto them, bur it is very deare; ftraw, 
furre, and ferne ſerying their ordinary uſes. The 
middle part ofthe Iland hath many prety Hilsrifing 


that receivefrom one anather a matuall pleaſure. 

( 7) The Governour of the 1le is the Captaine 
thereof, who appointeth certaine Officers under 
him:the ecinciaaitef whom, carrieth the name and 
title of a Bailifte , that in civill cauſes haththe afli- 
tance oftwelve Jurats to determine of differences,

matters of reaſon and conſcience, five. Their twelye 
are choſen out of the twelve Pariſhes: fo that no 
man goeth furthertocomplaine, then to his own Ju- 
rate 1h ordinary controverſies; but matters of mo- 


liffe in a generall meeting. |

PEMBROKESHIRE. 


CHAPTER 1lI. 


—— 


——— 


E MBROK x-SHIRE, the fur- 
RK theſt Promontorie of all "= 
Wales, lieth parted on the 
North from Cardigan-ſbire 
with the Rivers Tywy and 
Keach , and on the Eaftis con- 
fronted by Caermarden-ſhire ; 
| the South and Weft ſhooting 
farreintothe 1rifh Seas, is with the ſame altogether 
waſhed. 

(2) The forme thereofis longer thenitis broad; 
for from S. Gowens vrorey” oye to Cardigan-bridge 
inthe North, are twenty-fixe miles ; the Eafterne 
Landenie to Saint Davids point in the Weſt, are 
ge og wholein circumference is nincty-three 
miles. 

(3) The ayreispaſling temperate, by the report 


1 of Giraldus,who confirmeth his reaſon from the fite 


of Ireland, againſt which itbutteth, and ſo neer ad- 
joyned, that King Rufws thought it poſſible tro make 

a bridge of his ſhips. over the Sea, whereby he 

might paſſe to Ireland on foot. 

4) Anciently it was poſſeſſed by the Demetia, 

further branched itito Cardigan and Carrmarden- 
ſhires, as in that County hath beene ſaid, andin the 
Saxons Conqueſt and Heptarchie,by the Britaines for- 
ced into thoſe parts for refuge, whither Hezry the 
firſt, and third of the Nygrmans King, ſent certaine 
Flemings(whoſe Countrey was overwhelmed with 

the breaking in of the Seas)to inhabit the maritime 

Tra& called Ryſſe,lying Weſt upon the River Doy- 

gleaye. Theſe Dutchmen ((aith Giralduc) were « ftrong 

and ſtout Nation, inured to warres, and accuſtomed to 

ſecke gaine by Clothing,Traffique, and Tillage, and ever 
ready for the Field to fight it out : adding withall that 
they were moſt loyall tothe Engliſh, and moſt faithful to 
the Engliſh-men. Whereupon Malmesbury writeth 
thus : Many 4 time did King William Rafus aſſaile the 
Welſh but ever in vain : which is to be wonared at, con- 

fidering his other fortunate ſucceſſe. But (faith he) it 
may be the unevenneſſe of the ground, and jharpneſſe of 
the aire,that maintained their conrage,and impeached his 
wvalonr : which toredreſſe, King Henry his brother found 
means ; for thoſe Flemings,who in regard of bu mathers 
kindred by the F athers ſide,ſorely peſtred end endammas- 
ved the Eneliſh,he ſent into Wales both topurge and diſ- 
Ss his own Kingdome, and to quell and keepe backe 
the courage of his enemies. Theſe then here ſeated, de- 
ceived not his expeRation, but ſo carried them- 


| ſelves in his quarrell, that they ſeldome communi- 


cated with their neighbors, ſo that to this day they 
ſpeake not the Language, and the Countrey is yet 
called Little England beyond Wales, 

) The commodities of this Shire are'Corne, 
Cattle, Sea-fiſh,and Fowle,and in Giralds his daies 
offaleable wines, the Havens being ſo commodious 


Ss 


——_— Cn _u 


for ſhips arrivage:ſuch is that at Tenby, and Milford, 
| an Haven of fuch capacitie, that fixteene Creeks, 
five Bayes, and thirteene Roads, known all by ſe- 
verall names,are therein contained, where Henry.of 


Richmond,of moſt nappy memory,arrived with fig- | 


nall hopes of Englands freedomfrom under the go- | 
yernment of an uſurping Tyrant. penny 
(6) Neeruntothis is Pembroke the Shire-towne 

ſeated, more ancientin ſhew thenit is in years, and 

more houſes without Inhabitants, then I ſaw in any | 
one City throughout my Survey. Itis walled long- 

wiſe, and them but indifferent for repaire, contain- 

ing in circuit eight hundred and foureſcore paſes, 

having three gatesofpaſlage, and atthe Weſt cnd 


4 large Caftle, and locked-cauſey, that leads over | 


the water tothe decaied Priorie of Monton. The ſite 
of this Towne is in the deggge of Longitude, as 
Mercator doth meaſure, 14, and 55. minutes, and 
the elevation from the North-pole inthe degree of 
Latitude 52, _ 

| (7) A Cityasbarrenisold Saint Davids, neither 
clad with Woods; nor garniſhed with Rivers, nor 
beautified with fields,nor adorned with Meadows, | 
but lieth alwaies open bothto winde and ftormes. | 
Yet hath it beena Nurſery to holy men ; for herein 
lived Calpharnizs, a Britaine Prieft, whoſe wife was 


Concha,fifter to Saint Martin, and both ofthemthe | 


parents of Saint Patrickethe Apoſtle of Ireland. Deni 
a moſt religious Biſhop, madethisan Archiepiſco- 
pall See, removed from 1ſca Legionum. This the B:. 
zatnes call Tuy Dwey, the houſe of Dewi ; the Szxoxs, 
Danyo Mynovep; we Saint Davids ; A Citie with few 
Inhabitants, & no more houſes then are inſertedin 
the draught; yer hath it a faire Cathedrall Church, 
dedicatedtoS. Andrew and David, in the middeſt 
of whoſe Quier lieth entombed Z4mund Earle of 
Richmond, father to K. Henry the ſeventh : whoſe 
Monument (as the Prebends told me) ſpared their 
Church from other defacements, when all went 
down underthe hammers of King Henry the eight. 
About this is a faire wall, and the Biſhops Palace 
all of free ſtone, a goodly houſe I aſſure you, and of | 


greatreceit, whoſe uncovered tops cauſe the curi- | 


ous workes inthe walles daily to weepe, and them 
to feare their downfall ere long. 

(8) But Morton the Priory, and S. Dogmels,places 
of devour piety ereedin this Countic, found not 


the like favour, when the commiſſion of their diffo- | 5 


lutions came down againſt them, and the axes of 
deſtruQion cut down the props of their walles. * 

(9) This Shire hath been ſtrengrthned with fix- 
teen Caſtles, befidestwo p< tg 37 pins manding 
the mouth of Milford Haven,and is ſtiltradedin five 
Market-towns, being dividedinto ſeven hundreds 
and in them ſeated one hundred fourty five Pariſh- 
Churches,as in the Table annexed followerh.

DO LaMOoORGAN-SHIRE, asfome 
& thinke,named from Prince Mor- 
>>. £anthe poſſeffor thereof, or ac- 
\ cording to others, is taken from 
_ an Abbey, founded by 
William Earle of Glouceſter , up- 
@-5 on the Sea-ſhoare in the South 
.._ of this Shire, lyeth bounded up- 
on that wy altogether with the Br:tiſh Sea; the Weſt 
by Lighor , is parted from Cacrmarden. ſhire, the 
North butteth upon the Countie of Brebnot; and 
the Eaft by Remney is divided from Monmonth. 

(2 ) The formeof this Shire c_ ſtill wider 
from her Weſt. point, ſpreading herbroadeft touch 
inthe Eaft, betwixt which extreamesI finde by mea- 
ſure to be well-neere fortie Englifb miles, and from 
Northto South, notaltogether twentie: the whole 
in circumference, about one hundred and twelve 
miles. ,

tent tothe minde, then the Soile doth fruit or eaſe 
unto Travellers. The hils being highand very many, 
which fromthe North notwithſtanding areleflened 
as it were by degrees; and towards the Sea-coafts, 
the Countrey becommeth ſomewhat plaine , which 

art is the beſt both for plentie of Graine, and popu- 
ous of Inhabitants. The reft all mountaine, is re- 
pleniſhed with Cattle, which is the beſt meanes unto 
wealth that this Shire doth affoord , upon whoſe 
Hils you may behold whole Herds of them feeding, 
and from whoſe Rocks , moſt cleere ſpringing wa-

did, the Engliſh Caerdiffe, which Fitz-Haimon fortifi- 


fas, when he and his Norman Knights had overcome 
Rheſethe Prince of theſe parts, ad thruſt out 7eftive 
from his lawfull poſſeſſion. This Towne he made 
his own Seat and Court of Juſtice, enjoyning his 
Conſorts to, give aide tothis honour, andto hold 
their portions in vaſſallage of him. Strong was the 
Caſtle , as by the truft therein repoſed may well ap- 
peare, where the youngeft brother Beauclark kept 
captive the eldeſt Curthoſe , both of them ſonnes ro 
the Conquerour, the ſpace of twentie-fixe yeeres. 
This Cattle is large, and in good repaire , whence 
the 'Towne-wall went both South and Eaſt ro the 
Rivers fide , thorow which, foure Gates enter into 


| the foure windes, and contain in compaſle nine hun- 


dredand twenty paſes ; and along the River ( aſure 
defence ) upon her Weſt fide, three hundred more, 
ſothat the Towne containeth in circuit twelve hun- 
dredand foureſcore paſes. But as the Taveisa friend 
tothe Towne, in making a Key for arrivage of ſhip- 


| ping;ſois ſhe a foe toS. Meries Church in the South, 


with undermining her foundations , and threatning 
herfall, The Towne is governed by a Major,yeere- 
lyele&ed out of twelve Aldermen, aflifted with o- 
ther twelve Burgeſſes, a Town-Clerke, foure Con- 
ables, and two Sergeants with Mace : whole fite is 


ed with a Wall and Caftle, in the Raigne of King Ru- | abwndar 


obſerved from the North-Starre toliein the degree 
of Latitude, 5. and 49. ſcruples; and from thefirft 
pointin the Weſt, 18. and 52. ſcruples. 
(5) In the fame graduation almoft is fired the 
Citie Landef, wherein is a Caſtle and Cathedrall 
Church, dedicated to S. Telean, Biſhop of the ſame, 
without any other memorable matter worthy the 
peaking of, | 

(6) Butthings of ſtrange note are theſe, by the 
report of Giraldws, who attirmeth , that 1» a Rocke or 
Chiffe upon the Sea-fide , and land Barry , lying neere 
the South-E aft point of this. County, is heard out of alittle 
Chinke(let him take heed what he ſaith) che noiſe as it 
were of Smiths at their worke; one whiles the blowing 
of Bellowes to increaſe the heat, then the ſlroakes of the 
Hammer ,and ſoand of the Anvile; ſometimes the miſe 


of the Grind-flone in grinding of 1ron tooles; then the hiſ= | 
ſing 


arks of Steele-gads , ag they flie from their beating, 
Pk pufſing noiſe of flames in a Farnaze, And whe. 
therthisis the place whereof Clemens Alexandrinus 
ſpeaketh, Idetermine not; where in his writings he 
hath theſe words: They that have recorded Hiſtories 
(faith he) doe ſay that in the Ile of Britzine , there is a 
certaine Hole or Cave under the bottome of an hill , and 
on the top _ 4 gaping Chinke, into the which when 
the wind is gathered, andnſſed io and froin the wombe or 


concavitie thereof, there is heard above, a ſyund of Cym- | 


bals = the winde being driven backe from his hole , is 
forced to-make a loud ſound at her vent. 

(7) More Weftwardfrom hence, upon the River 
Ogmore, and neere unto Newton, in afſandy plaine, 
about an hundred paſes from Severye , there Heng. 
etha Well, thoughnot of thecleareſt water, where 
at the flowing and fulneſfſe of the Sea, can hardly 
any water be gotten z but at the cbbe and fall of 
tyde it walloweth up amaine. The cauſe may be, 
as Polybius reports of the like at Cadys, wherein the 
windie aire , when it ts deprived of his wonted iſſues, 
forcibly returneth , ſhatting and Popping up the paſſages 
and wveines of the Spring, whereby the waters are kept in.

by Weſt, on the top of a bill called Mizyd-Margas, is 
erected a Monument inſcribed with a ſtrange Chas

This Shire,as it is the furtheſt Coaft of Soath-wales, 
and lay open to forraine invaſion ; ſowas it fortified 
with twenty five tronger Caſtles, whereof timesand 
ſtormes have devoured the moſt : ſuch were Barry, 
Saint Doneits, Deniſpowes, Morlaſhe, Meneſhe, Loghor, 
Lliddeny,Llaquian,0xwich,0yſtermomth, Ogmor, Piſe, 
Porkery, Pennarth Winſton, Newcaſtle,Caerfly, Coche, Pe- 
allyn, Kethligarne, Kenfeage,Tallavan, Treer and Cothy, 
Neither was the County fo ill ſeated for ſufficien-

planted places for divine pietie : ſuch were Neeth,

MONMOVTHSHIRE. 


CHAPTER VL 


—_—_ 


OnxxoUTH-Snikrt, from Mon- 
mouth Town, and that from AMor- 
| nowe-water bearing name, isalto- 
{ gether incloſed on the Nyrth, and 

1s ſeparated from Hereford-ſhire 
W with the ſame River, upon the 
Egft both it and Wye divides this 
Countie from Glowceſter-ſhire, The South-fide 
wholly is waſhed by the Severne Sea, and ſome of 


| her Welt part x Rempney is parted from Glamor- 
5 4n,and the reſt lyeth bordered upon by Breknock- 
ire, 


(2) The forme thereofis Scallop-wiſe, both long 


and her South tothe fall of Rewpney,betwixt which 
two aretwenty-foure Engliſh miles:and from Chep- 
ftowe Eaft, to Blanagwent Weſt, are not altogether 
nineteene: the whole in circuit draweth ſomewhat 
neerto ſeventy-ſeven miles. | : 

(3) The Ayreis temperate,healthfulland clear, 
the ſoyle is hilly, wooddy, and rich, all places fruit- 
fall, but no place barren. The Hils are grazed upon 
by Cattle and Sheepe , the Vallies are laden with 
Corne and Grafſe, never ungratefull of the Huf- 


bandmans paines, nor makes fruftrate his hope of 


expeQRed increaſe z whoſe ſprings abundantly ri- 
ſingin this County with many ftreames, doe fatten 
the ſoyle even from fide to (ide. 

(4) Anciently the S/lares inhabited this Shire, 
whoſe chiefe Citic by the Emperour Antonine is 
named Yenta Silurum, by the Welſh Caer-went, and 
was by Tathie the Britiſh Saint, made an Academic, 
and a divine place for worſhip. Solikewiſe Caer-lion 
now, once 1ſca,was, where the ſecond Remay Legi- 
on called Auguſta lay, as by their Coines, Altars, 
Tables, and Inſcriptions t 
therein digged up, doth evidently appeare. 

By the report of Giraldxs, in this Citic was the 
Court of great Arthur, whither the Rowane Embaſ- 


i fadours reforted unto him, and as Alexander Elſebi- 


enſis writeth,therein was a Schoole of two hundred 
Philoſophers, skilfull in 4fr0omic and other Arts. 
Whichis the more credible, for that Amphibalus S*, 
Albans inftruer, was therein born, and I»uliws and 
Aaron, two noble Prote-Martyrs of great Britadne, 
in this Citie received the crowne of Martyrdome, 
where their bodies were alſo interred. But asall 
things finde their fatall period, ſo this Citie for 
beautie, circuit, and magnificall reſpeR is laidin 
the ruines of her own inp "ng may any more 
lament the lofle of glory then Monmonths Caftle, 
which captive-like doth yeeld toconquering time, 


| 


found, and daily | 
| 


th 
— 


Her down-caſt ſtones from thoſe loftie turrets, do 
ſhew what beautie once it bare, ſtanding mounted 
round in compaſle, and within her wals another 
mount, whereonatowre of great height & ftrength 
is built, which was the birth-place of our Conquer- 
ing Henry, the great Trinmpher over France, but 
now decayed, and from a Princely Caftle, is be. 
come no better then a regardlefſe Cottage. Inthis 
Town a beautifull Church built with three Ilesis 
remaining, and at the Eaſt end a moft curious built 
(but now decayed)Church ftands,called the Monks 
Church : In the Monaftery whereof, our great An- 
tiquary Geffrey,ſurnamed Manmouth,and Ap Arthar, 


and broad, ſhooting her North point to Llentony, | wrote his Hiftory of Great Britaine : whole pains as 


they were both learned and great, ſo have they bred 
great pains among the learned both ro defend and 
to diſprove. The Townes fituation is pleaſant and 
good, ſeated betwixt the Rivers Monnowe and Wye : 
three Gates yet ſtand, beſides that Tower or Lock 
of the Bridge, and a Trench or tra of Wallrun. 
ning betwixt themoneach fidedown tothe River, 
containing in circuit about cight hundred paces. 
The Towneisin good repayre, and wellfrequen- 


Common Counſellers, a Towne-Clerke, and two 


moved from the Equator 52. degrees, and 8; mi- 
nutes, and from the Weft-point of Longitude is ſet 
inthe degree 17.36. minutes. 

Religions Houſes erected and ſupprefled in this 
Shire, for greateft account have been in Caer-/ion, 
Chepftow,Gold-liffe, Munmonth and Llantony; which 
Laſt ood ſoſolitary,and among hils,thatthe Sunne 
was not ſeene to ſhine there, but onely betwixt the 
hovres of one and three. 

This Shire is ftrengrhned with fourteen Caftles, 
traded with fixe Market Towns, divided into fixe 
Hundreds, wherein are ſituated one hundred twen- 
ty and ſeven Pariſh Churches, and is not accounted 
among the Welſh-ſbires,being ſubdued by Henry the 
wes, who palling the Nant Pen-carne, a {mall 
Brooke and of no danger, yet held fatall by the 
'elſh, over-credulous to a Prophecie of Meyl:n S:l- 
veſter the Brittiſh Apollo, who had foreſhewed that 
when a ſtout and frecled fac'd King (fach as Henry 
was) ſhould paſſe over that Ford, then the power 
of the Welſh-wex ſhould be brought under , Where- 
by their tout courage was ſoone abated, and the 
whole Countie the ſoonerin ſubjeRion tothe Eng- 
liſh. The Names ofthe places in this Shire are ex-

RADNOR-SHI 


CHAPTER YIETL 


MAD NOr-SHIR% lyeth borde- | 


= cd upon the North, with the 
> Countie Monmouth, upon the 
» £,) Eaſt toucheth Shropſhire and He- 
m2 reford-fhire: the Rivers Clar- 
, wen and //Yye divide it from 
Breknock in the South; and the 
Weſt part doth ſhorten point- 
wiſe into Cardigan-ſhire. 

(2) The forme thereof is in proportion triangle, 
every fide almoſt containing alike diftance: for from 
Welt to North are twenty miles; from North to 
South, twenty two ; and from South to Welt are 
rwenty foure:the whole in circumference extending 
to foureſcore and ten miles. 

(3) The Ayre thereof is ſharpe and cold,(as moſt 
of Wales is ) for thar the ſnow lieth andlaſteth long 


unmelted under thoſe ſhadowing high Hils and over- 
hanging Rocks, 


( 4) The Soyle is hungry, though not barren,and 


that in the Eaft and South the beſt: theother parts 
are rough and churliſh, and hardly bettered by pain- 
full labour ; ſothat the riches of the North and Weft 
confifterh chiefly in the brood of Cattle. 

(5) Anciently this County was poſleſſed by the 
S:lures,a warlike people, and great withftanders of the 
Romans impoſitions, who had not onely them to 
fight againft, but withall the unacceflible Mountaines, 
wherewith this Shire is ſo over-preſſed and burde- 
ned, that many times I feared to looke downe from 
the hanging Rockes, whercunder I paſſed intothoſe 
deepeand darke dales, ſeeming to me an entrance in- 
to Limbo, Among theſe ( as ſay our Hiſtorians )that 
hatefull Prince to God and Man, Yortiger, his Coun- 
tries ſcourge, and laft Monarch of the Britifh Bloud, by 
fire from Heaven was conſumed with his inceftuous 
Wite,for whom Ninius nameth the Countrey where. 
in his Caftle ftood, Guertiger-Maur, of whoſe rubbiſh 
the Caftle Guthremion was raiſed, as ſome are of opi- 
nionB. Yet they of Nygrth-Wales will have his deftru- 
ion and Caftle to ftand in their parts neere unto 
Beth-Kelleck, whereof wee will further ſpeakeinthe 


| relationof his life, Fatall was this place alſoto Lle- 


wellin the laſt Princeof the Britiſh race; who bein 
betrayed by the men of Buelth, fled intothoſe __ 
Mount aines of Radnor,where by Adam FranGon he was 
flaine; and his head ( crowned with tvy ) ſet upon the 
Tower of Londsg. | 

{ 6) Places moſt worthy of notein this Shire, are 


ws 


as enſueth : The firſt is Radnor, from whom the 
Countie receiveth her N.zme, anciently Magi, where 
the Commander of the Paſcenſian Regiment lay, and 
thought to be the HH agnes in CAntonine the Empe- 
rors Survey. This Towne is pleaſantly ſeated under 
an Hill, whereon ftandeth mounted, a large and 
ſtrong Caſtle, from whoſe Bulwarkea Trench is drawn 
along the Weſt of the Towne, whereon a wall of 
ſtone was once raiſed, as by the remaines in man 


places appeareth, This Trench doth likewiſe = 


verge her Weſt fide ſo farreas the River, but afteris 
no more ſeene: whoſe Graduation is obſerved to 
have the Pole elevated for Latitude 52. degrees, and 
45. minutes ; and for Lengitnde, from the firſt point 
of the Weſt, ſet by Hercator 17. degrees = one 
minute, 

Preſtayn for beauteous building is the beſt in this 
Shire, a Towne of Commerce, wonderfully frequen- 


_ ted, and that very lately. Next is Knighton,a Market 


Towne likewiſe, under whichis ſeene the Clawdh- 
offs or 0ffaes Ditch, whoſe traQ for aſpace I follow- 
ed along the edge of the eAfoumnuine, which was a 
bound ſet to ſeparate the Welſh from the Engliſh, by 
the Mercian King Offa : and by a_ the Monarcha 
Law made, by the inftigationof his Wife, that it 
ſhould bee preſent death forthe Felſb to paſſe over 
the ſame, as 1ohn Bever the MHonke of Weſtminſter 
reporteth: and the like under Harald, as Iohnof $4- 
libary writeth z whereinit was ordained, that what 
Welſh-man ſoever ſhould bee found with any weapon 
on this ſide of that Zimit, which was offaes Ditch, 
ſhould have his right handcut off by the Kings 0ffi- 
cers. The fourth place for account is Raihadar Gowy, 
who beſides the great fall of Je with a continuall 
noiſe, hath her Markets there kept upon the Sab- 
_ which I there obſerved, and here note for an of. 
ence. | 

(7) Many Rivers ariſe and run thorow this Shire, 
which were it not that the Hils,ſo clufter together, 
might make the ſoyle both fertill and fat. Such are 
Teme, Luz, Ithon, Clowdok, Dul 4s, Comarton, Somegill, 
Guithel, Arro, Machaway, Edway, Hawye, Eland,Clar- 
wenand Wye, beſides other Lowghs that ſtand betwixt 
the hills, | 

This Shire is divided into fixe Hundreds, wherein 
are ſeated three Forreſts, foure AMarket-Townes, ixe 
Caſ#les, and fifty two Pariſh-Churches, asin the Table 
in thelaſt Page of this Chapter Alphabetically are ſet | 
and inſerted.

SDARDIGAN-SHIRE, (in the 
Welſh called Sire Aber-Tivi) is 
parted onthe Northfrom Meri- 


- by the Plinillimon hils from 
Montgomery-ſhire in part of her 
Eaft; and the reſt from Breknock- 


to Aberyſthwth on her Weſt, the broadeſt part inthe 
Shire, are onely fifteene: the whole in circumference 
is one hundredand three miles, | 
(3) The Aireis open and ſomewhat piercing;the- 
ſoile is hilly,and(Wales-like)uneven: yer moreplaine 
and champion toward the Sea, then in the Eaft or 
Northof the Land. For beſides that great and high 
hill called Plizillimen, a continuall range of lefler 
doth ſhoote along, yeelding in their vallies both 


| Shire ; who in theirftruglings againſt the Remanes, 
oneth-ſhire with the River Dou!, 


| Poſſeſfion, as to ſecure thoſe Seas from any invaſion 


goodly rich Paſtures, and very large Pooles, which 
being affiſted with Springs from the Rocks , doe 
branch themſelves, as veines in the body, and make 
fruitfulltheir paſſages unto the Sea. In Tywy one of 
theſe, as Giraldus hath written, the Beaver hath been 
found, a creature living both by land and water, 
whoſe ſtones the Phyſitians hold in great price. His 
fore-feet arelikeuntoa dog, but the hinder whole 
skinned, as is the gooſe: the dog-like ſerve him on 
ſhore for torunne ; and the-gooſe-like as Oares give 
kim ſwift motion in ſwimming : his taile broad and 
griftly, he uſeth asafterne, wherewith onthe ſudden 
he can divert his ſwift floating courſe, But this crea- 
turein theſe parts along time hath not beene ſeene, 
whoſe roome we may well ſay the Sa/mon hath poſ- 
ſet, who ſtill coveting into freſh water Rivers, at 
their down-right fals uſeth this policie : He bend- 
eth himſelfe CT and taketh his taile in his 
mouth, and with all his trength unloofing his circle 
onthe ſudden (as a lath let goe) mounteth up be- 
fore the fall ofthe ſtreame ; where upon ſuch water- 
falsare called the Salmons Leape - and in theſe Ri- 
vers many ſuch Sa/mons are caught. 

(4) The commodities of this Shire chiefly con- 
ſiſtin Cattle, Sea-fowle, and Fiſh ; Corne ſufficient, 
but of Woods ſome ſcarcitie : and at the head of 1/- 
wydh are certain veines of Lead,a merchandize of no 
meane regard or wealth, 

(s) The ancient people that poſſeſſed this Pro- 


ſometimes was ſeated an Epiſcopall See, which (as 


———_—— 
— ——_—_—_—_— 
———— 


vince, were the Dimete, by Ptolemie branched tho. | 
row the Tracts of Caermarden, Penbroke, and this | 


2id nota little relie upon Cara#acws their moſt war- 
like King, (from whoſe name, thoughunlikely, ſome 
will have the Shire called Cardigan)yer laftly felt the 
fortune of ſubjeion with the reſt, when 1ulivs Frox- 
tinus warred with theſe Mountaines. Scarce had the 
Ngrmans ſetled their Kingdome in Britaine, but that 
they aſſailed this County, as well to enjoy ſo fairea 


againft them : ſo that Rufws firft wrefſted from the 
Welſh-men the maritime Coaſts, and Henry the firſt 
gave the whole County to Gilbert de Clare. 

(6) This Gilbert fortified Cardigan, the Shire- 
Towne, witha Wall and ftrong Caſtle, whoſe aged 
lineaments doe to this day ſhew the induftrie both 
of Nature and Art: for the Towne is ſeated upona 
ſteepe banke, her South-fide guarded with the deep 
River Tyvy, and paſſable no way but by a bridge un- 


derthe Caſtle. Thewalles take the advantage of the | The walsofit, | 


riſing Rockes, andcirculate the Towne even round 
about. The Caſtle is higher builtupona Rock, both 
ſpacious and faire, had not ftormes impaired her 
beauty, and time left her carkaſle a very Anatomie. 
The walles range as thou ſeeſt, and are indifferent 
for repaire, having three wayes for entrance, and 
containe in compaſle fixe hundred and foureſcore 
paſes : whoſe Poſition for Latitnde is ſetin the de- 
gree 52. 33, minutes from the North-pole, and for 
Longitude from the firſt Weſt-point by Mercator, 
in thedegree 15. and 1o. minutes. 

(7) This Shire, asit is little incircuit, ſo accor- 
dingly is beſprinkled with Towne-ſhips, whereof 
foure onely have the trade of Markets: neither finde 
L other remembrance of religious foundations, butat 
Cardigan, Iſtradfleet, and at Llan-Badern-Y aur where 


Hoveden writeth) was decayed many yeers ſince, when 
the people had wickedly flaine their Paſteur. And yet 
Llan-Deui-breui, built, and fo called in memory of | 
the moſt famous David Biſhop of MHenevia, was in 
great eftceme, where in afrequent Synod there hol- 

en,he refuted the Pelagian Hereſie ſprung up againe 
in Britaine, both by the authoritie of holy Scripture, 
and alſo by miracle, as is reported, while the earth 
whereon he ſtood and preached, roſe upunto a cer- 
taine height under his feet. 

(8) The Shires diviſion, for buſineſſes belonging 
either to the Crowne or Common.wealth, is into 
five Hundreds, wherein are ſeated foure Market- 
Towns, and fixty-foure Pariſh-Churches for Gods 
divine and daily ſervice, whoſe names are further 
inſerted in the Table following.

deacon of Breknocke doth greatly commend, 

(5) The'ancient Inhabitants that were ſeated in 
Guineth and Pow:fland, whereof this Shire was a part, 
were to the Romans knowne by the name of O x o- 
YICES, a puifſant and courageous Nation, whoſe 
hearts and hilles held them the longeſt free from the 
yoke of ſubjeCtion, either of the Romans or Engliſh - 
forunto the dayes of Domitian, they kept plea with 
the Romans, and were not brought to the will of the 
Engliſh before the raigne of King: Edward the firſt. 
Thoſe Oxpovices inhabited the Counties of 
Mountgomery , Merioneth , Caernarvan, Denbigh, and 
Flint, which are of us called now Nrth-Wales,a pzo- 


ple generous and of affable conditions, goodly for | 


feature, faire of complexion, courageous of minde; 
courteous to ſtrangers, and that which is moſt com- 
mendable, moſt trueand loyall tothe Engliſh Crowxe. 

Townes for Trades and commerce in this County 
are fixe: the chiefeſt thereof and Shire-Towne is 
Monntgomery, very wholeſome for ayre, and pleaſant 


for ſituation, upon an eafic aſcent ofan hill, and upon 


another farre higher mounted, ſtands afaire and well- 
repaired Caftle , from the Eaft Rocke whereof the 
Towne hath been walled, as by (ome part yer ftand- 
ing, and the tratandtrenchot the reft even untothe 
North-fide of the faid Caftle, may evidently be ſeen: 
whoſe Graduation for Latitude is placed in the de. 
gree 53. andfor Longitude' 17, the lines cutting each 
other in the ſite of this Towns. 

This Towne hath lately received the honour and 
Title ofan Earledome, whereof Fhilip Herbert the ſe- 
cond ſonneof Henry Earle of Pembroke, was created 


the firſt, in Anno 1605. And the Shire divided into | 


ſeven Hundreds, wherein are ſeated fixe Market- 
Townes,and forty ſeven Pariſh-Churches: the names 
whereofare inſerted inthe Table annexed,

MERIONETH-SHIRE. 


CHAIN Al 


Ad ASA ARE Rr IONs TH-SHIR x,whichthe 
Britaines call Scire-Yerioneth, and 
8 in Latine, Mervinia , is bordered 
> upon the North by Carnarvon 
@ and Denbigh-ſhires, upon the Eaſt 
with Monzgomery,upon the South 
by the River Dowy,is parted from 
Cardigan-ſhire, and the Weſt fide 
altogether waſhed with the 1riſh-Seas , whoſe rage 
with ſuch vehemencie bcateth againſt her Bankes, 
thatiris thoughrand ſaid, ſome quantity of the Land 
hath been ſwallowed up by thoſe Seas. 

(2) In forme this Shire ſomewhat reſembleth a 
Felſh-Aarpe, though ſmall is the Muiicke that to her 
Inhabitants ſhe makes, being the rougheft, and moſt 
uppleaſant toſee to ( as Giraldus their owne Hiſtorian 
writeth) in all Wales. The Ayre for great pleaſure, 
nor Soile for great profit, I cannot greatly commend, 
unlefſe it be & the many and mighty great windes, 
that for the moſt part therein do rage, andthe ſpired 
hilles cluftered together ſo neer and fo high, as the 
ſame Author affirmeth, that Shepheards upon their 
tops fallingat oddes in the morning,and challenging 
the field for fight, before they can come togetherto 
tryout the quarrel, the day will bee ſpent, and the 
heat of their fury ſhut up with their fleepe. | 

( 3) Theſe Mountaines formerly did abound with 
Wolves, for whoſe avoydance Edgar the peaceable, 
did impoſe ( as Halmesbary writeth ) a yeerely Tri- 
bute of three hundred Wolves, upon Ludwall Prince 
of that Countrey, whereby in three yeers ſpace they 


| werequitedeftroyed: and now their facesare cove- 


red with fruitfull flocks of Sheepe, beſides Neate 
and other Cattle that therein TY doe graſe, 
wherein the onely riches of this Shire doth conkift: 
for by reaſon of the unevenneſſe of the ſoyle and 
rockes ſo neere the faceof the earth, the Plough can- 
not bee drawne, nor the Corne proſper, which fome 
have impytcd to the idlenefle of the Inhabitants, 
wherein they have beene greatly wronged, = 

(4) Theſe people are apart of the 0rdevices, of 
whom we have {j Ry who by the advatage of theſe 
mountaines held out with the longeſt againſt the Ro- 
manes, and their necks not brought under the yoke of 


| bondage, before the dayes of King Edward the firſt, 


fince when they haveattemptedto caſt off their ſub. 
jeiontothe Engliſb, upon ſome ſtirs raifed by 0w7n 
Glendover, who having been a favorite of King Ri- 
chard the ſecond, and diſcontented by King Henry the 
fourth, in a quarrell with the Lord Gray of Ruthin, 
that intruded upon his demaines, quarrelled with the 
King, andentredinto open rebellion and confedera- 
cie with all other his rebels, drawing the Welſh-men 
wholly to his fide, in hope to have had Princes refto- 
redof their own blood : and he maintained the ſame 
with wonderfull pride, policie, and obftinacie fora 


rm. 


long time, untill his confederates, followers, and 
favorites, and his owne courage, credit, and mainte- 
pance, were broughtſo low by that powerfull King, 
that in theend heperiſhed for very want of food. 

( 5 ) Their Townes are not many, neither thoſe 
that they have of any ſtately buildings, whereof Bals, 
Dolgethe, and Harlechare the Markets. By Balzinthe 
North-Eaſt ofchis County, in the Welſh Lhintegid,in 
Engliſh, P:z3ble-meare, a great Poole of water doth 
drowne at leaſt eight-ſcore Acres of ground : whoſe 
nature is, as the report doth paſſe, that the high-land 
floods though never ſo great; cannot make her to 
[well bigger by their receipts ; butif the aire be trou- 
bled with over-great blaftts and tempeſts of windes, 
ſhe in as greata rage riſeth and paſſeth her bankes, as 
if ſhe would encounter thatenemy in fight, Into the 


_ South whereof the two-headed Dee with a pretie 


ſharpe ſtreame entreth, and thorow the ſame glideth 
without any mixture of the ſame water, as the Inha- 


 bitants beleeye; more ſtrongly conceired in their 


opinion, for thatthe Salmey, uſually taken in Dee, is 
never fonndinthat Poole, and the fiſh called Guiniad 
bred in thet Meare, neveris ſeene in the River Dee. 
South thence, neere Dolgelhe,jin a lower hill, a great 
Rampire of ſtone and compaſle is ſeene, and hath 
beere ſome fortification or defenicein warre : which 
whilſt we were curious to finde out ſome inftruQions 
thereof, by report this onely we learned, that it was 
called Caddoryrite Dres, according to the name ofher 
neighbour and farre higher hill, | 

6) Upon the Weſt and Sea-ſhore of this Shire, 
Harlecha Market and Major Towne ftandeth; bleake 
enough and barten, but onely for Fowle and Fiſh , 


houſes not many, neither curiouſly built , wherein 


ſtandeth a lictle Chappel decayed and without uſe, 


in which lieth buricd Sir Richard Thimblebye, an En- 


gh:fþ Knight, who for the delight hee tookein that | 


game, removed his abodefrom a farre better ſoyle. 
Here alſo ftandeth a moſt ſtrong and beautifull Ca- 
ſtle, mounted upon a bill, and with a double Bul- 
warke walled about, commanding the Sea, and paſ- 
ſage of entrance of ſuch asſecke toinvadethe Coaft. 
And ſurely a great pitic it is to ſee ſo faireaworke fall 
to decay: the Conſtable whereof by Patent isever 
the Major of this Towne: neere unto whichare two 
great Inlets of Seas, which at low water may be paſ- 
ſed upon the Sands with Guides. Upon whole Shore, 
as upon all the Sea-coafts inthis County, abundance 
of Herrings are caught, for which cauſe they are much 
frequented inthe ſeaſon of the yeere, by maby peo. 
ple trom divers Countries, | es 

( 7 ) This Towne being the chiefeſt of the Shire. 
the Pole ſhall be elevated onely fromthence, whoſe 
height for Latitude ftandeth in the degree 53. 29. 


minutes, and for Longitude in the xy. 47. minutes, | 
The whole being divided intofix Hundreds, where-

Caernarvonand Herioneth-ſhire , on the Eaſt, Che-

r9oſhire;” | | 

- ) The forme thereof is long, growing wider 
ftill cowards the North-weft, & narrower towards 
the Eaft. It is in length from Eaſt to Weſt, one and

bleake enough,as expoſed tothe winds on all fides, 
and the high hils, wherewith it isin many places

of her favours : but next unto Dee it feeleth a more

CAERNARVON-SHIRE: 


GHAT IAN XTHL 


> 25 ® Aernarvore ſrire, in Welſo, Sire (4- 
er-ar-ven, {o called becauſe it is 
= jult ever againſt A»g/eſcy, (which 
/ the Britaines call on, ) and in 
copoſition was termed allo Snow- 
den Forreſt, before Wales was laid 
into Shireszthe North-fide where- 
TX \S R of and the Welt butteth upon the 
Irif6- Sea, the Sonth-ſide isincloſed with MMerionetb, and 
the Eaſt with Denbigh-ſeires, from whichit is ſever:dby 
tho River Conwey. : 
(2) The forme thereof is muchlike a wedgeylong and 
narrow toward the South, and growing ſtill wider to- 
wards the North: ſo that from Pevenke/-point South-ward, 
to Ormſ-bead-point North-ward, arc fortie Miles, from the | 
River (onwey Eaſt-ward,to the River Llewoy Welt-ward, 
Miles twenty : and the whole circumference one hundred 
and ten Miles, ON 
(3) The Ayre is ſhafpe andpicrcing, by reaſon that 
the Countrey hath not naturall proviſion to e her 
(IF againſt the extremity of winds and weather z but c{pe- 


cially as may be thought, through the continuance of the 
Snow on the hills, which alſo exclude the Sunnes aſpet | 
and warmth. 


(4) Theſoile cannot be much commended for the fer- 
tility, except thoſe parts of the Sea-coalts, which ye on the 
Weſt toward Irel/axd: but for the hcart of this Shire,it is al- 
together mountainous, as if Nature had a purpoſe here, by 
rearing up theſe craggy hills ſo thicke together, ſtrongly to 
compa the joyntsof this our Iland, and to frame the In- 
land part thereof for a fit place of refuge to the Britaines, 
againſt thoſe times of adverſi 


__ h _— ſtrongly, - 
ſcarce any Traycllers, h never ſo lightly appointed, 
can find : aſage among thoſe ſo many rough and hard 
Rockes, | e._. Vales, and Pooles here and there, croſ- 


of forraine aſſailants. Theſe Mountaines may not unfitly 
be termed the Britiſh Alpes, as being the molt valte of all | 
Britaine,and for their (tcepneſle and cragginefle not unlike 
tothoſc of Italy, all of them towring up into the Ayre, and 
round encompaſſing one farre higher then all the reſt, pe- 
culiarly called Swowdoxn- Hil, though the other likewiſe in 
the fame ſenſe, are by the elſe termed Craig Eriry, as 
much as Snowy fountaines, taking their name as doth (by 


thia: Por allthe yeare long theſolye mantelled over with 


height they are open and lyable both to the Sunne to dif- 
ſolve them, and the winds to over-ſweep them. 
(5) The ancient Inhabitants of this Country were the 
Ordovices,of whom we have ſufficiently ſpoken in the de- 
ſcription of the former Provinces; neither needL inlilt ci- 
ther upon the pleaſures or profirs that this Country yeeld- 
eth, by reaſon of the great affinity it hath both of Climate 
and Commoditics with Denbigh- ſhire and Flint-ſbvre bc» 
fore mentioned : Bat this beyond the other in ſome places 
breeds certaine Shel-fpſhes, which being conceived by an 
heavenly dew bring forth Pcarles, in ancicnt times more 
reckoned of then now they arc. AE | 
(6) Touching places of note,that City is very ancient 
which the Emperour Antonine calleth Segontinm, taking 
name of a River running by, which at this day is called Se- 
;ont : ſome reliques of the walls whereof doc yet appeare, 


Saint Publicius. This City Ninniue calleth Caer Cuſtenith, 
which ſome interpret the City of Conſtantine. Indeed 
Mathew Weſtminſter ſaith(how truc I know not)that Av- 
#0 1283. here was found the body of Conſtantin (Father 
to great Conſtantine) which King Edward the firſt cauſed 
tobe ſumptuouſly beſtowed in the Church of the new Ci- 
ty, whichhe raiſcd out of the ruines of the old, and isnow 
called Carnarvon, Which giveth name to this whole 
Shire. The Towase it felfe yeeldeth a molt excellent pro- 
ſpe& towards the Sea, and is wy ven (ina manacr ) 
round with the walls of the Caftlez fo as we may fay;it is a

City within a Caſtle, which takethup the whole Welſt-fide 
of it 2 and great pity it is, that ſo famous a worke ſhould 
not be or ever become the ruin of time,which 
is much feared,for the mercilefle undermining of the Sea, 
that with her daily and forcible irruptions never ccaſcth to 
waſh away the foundations of the key. Tho people of this 
Towne are well approved for courtelic, and alſo Ciyill Go« 
yernment, which is adminiſtred by the Conſtable of the 
Caſtle (who is ever Major by Patcnt) having the aſliſtance 
of one Alderman, two Bailiffes, two Sergeants at Mace, 
and one Town-Clerke. The Towneſmen doe not a little 
glory that King Edward the ſecond was borne there, in a 
Tower of the Caſtle, called Exgle-Tower,and farnamed of 
Carr-nar-von, he _ the Prince of Wales of the 
Engliſo line. The ſite of this Towne according to Mathe- 
maticall obſcrvation is1n the degree of Longitude 1 5. and 


in Latitude 5;. and 56. 

Bangor, the Biſhops See, though it be now but a ſmall 
Towne, yet wasit in times paſt fo large, that for the great- 
neſle therof it was called Baxchor Vaxr, that is, Great Ban- 
chor;which Hagh Earlc of Cheſter fortified with a Caſtle : 
But it hath been long ſince uttcrly ruinatedand laid levell 
with the ground,inſomuch ag there isnot any footing to be | 
found,or other monumentsleft thereok;although they have 
been ſought with all diligent enquiry. This Biſhops 
hath within the Dioces ninety fix Pariſhes.But the ancicnt 
Church which was conſecrated unto Daxiel,ſometime Bi- 
ſhop thercof, was defaced and ſet on fire by that notorious 
Rebcll Owen Glendowerdwy, who had a purpoſe allo to de-

yernment is alſo ſubje&t unto two M | 
ſhops, which are of S. Andrews, (the Primate of Scorlard) 
and of Glaſco ; whole juriſdiQtions are asfolloweth : 


S*, Andrews. | Glaſco. 
Dankeld. Brechin. Galloway. 
.. eAberdos. Roſſe. _ Argile, 
' Marray,  (athanes. Jles, 
Dunblan, Orkeney. 
Amongſt the things worthy of note of Antiquitie in this 


| Kingdome, moſt memorable was that Fortifcation drawn 


from eAbercorne upon the Frith of _— 7 anto - 
cluyd, now Dwnbritton, apening upon the W a, where 
Tab Agricola ſet the limit of the Romare Empire; paſt 
which , taith Tacitwe , there wasnot other of Bri- 
zaineto be ſought for : and that here the ſecond Legion A#- 
guſts, and the twenticth Legion Yi&rix, built a part of the 


| Wall, certaine Inſcriptions there digged up, and reſerved 


at Dmnlojr and Cader, doc witneſſe: asallo anancient co- 
ped Monument of an high and round compaſle , which, 
as ſome thinke , was a Temple conſecrated unto the god 
Terminu : others, a Trophey, raiſed by (ara»ſims, who for- 
any this Wall with ſeycn Caſtles, as Ninim doth de- 

are, F 

- (12) At this began the great and darke Wood 
Phy bw. , ow hw K. Buls that therein 
were bred, whoſe Manes were Lior-like, thicke and cur- 
led, of nature fierce and cruell, and ſohatefull to mankinde, 
that they abhorred whatſocyer was by them handled or 
breathed upon : theſe Woods ſtretched farre and wide with 


 * | many turnings, darke ſhades, and dreadfull dens, and ſo 


_—_——— 


kT 


famous in the Rowane Writers , that they often. uſed that 
name for all Zritaine; whoſe inhabitants were the laſt in 


this Iland, that ycelded theirnecksto the yoake of ſubjeRti- | 


on, as ſhall appeare in our following Story. 

(13) Ninius a Britaine is recorded to haye converted 
the Sourh-Pifs unto the Faith of Chriſt , in the Raigne of 
T heodeſixs the younger , and the Church in Galloway bear 
ring his name doth witneſſe it : ſolikewiſe in the ſame age 


Palladins ſent from Pope Caleſtine, became an Apoſtle un-' 


nts, as was verily ſuppoſed : but that Chriſtianitic bad been 


tothe Scots, whole reliques lay cn{hrined at Fordon in Aler- 
formerly planted lp uttermoſt Province , is teſtified b 


Tertwllias , in ſaying the Britaines had embraced the fai 
farther then the Romans had 


wer to follow or perſecute 
them, whereupon Peter Monke of Clan in Spane, conclu- 
deth their converſion to be more ancient then the Southern 
Britaanes. * 


(14) But touching things obſervable for the preſent, 


| ſurely admirable is the report of the plentic of Cattle, Fiſh, 


and Fowle there abiding : their Neat but little, yet many 
in number: Fiſh ſo plentifull, that men in ſome places ( for 
delight ) on horſe-backe hunt Salmons with Speares: and 


acertaine Fowle, which ſome call Soland- Geeſe, ſpreading 


ſo thicke in the Aire , that they even darken the Sunnes 
light ; of whoſe fleſh, feathers,and oyle, the Inhabitants in 
ſome parts make great uſe and gaine; yeaandeven of Fiſhes 
brought by them, abundant proviſion for dyet , 'as alſo of 
the iiicks (brought to make their neſts ) plentifull proviſi- 
on for fewell. 


(15 ) With theſe, as of wonders, I might ſpeake of the. 


natures of thoſe two famous Loughes , Lomwndand Neſſa, 
thelatter whereof never freezeth in Winter, though never 
ſocxtreame, and the watersof the other molt raging in the 
faireſt and calmeſt weather , whercinalſofloateth an Ilaud 
that remoyeth from place to place, as the winde forceth her 
{pongeous and unfaſtencd body. In Baquhas upon the banks 
of Ratra is a Well, whole trickling drops turne (in Pyrami- 
dy-wiſc) into hard ſtone, andanother neere Edenborowgh 


that floateth with Bitumen. In Dee and Done , beſides the 


admired plentic of Salmons, is found a Shell-filh, called the 
Horſe-muckell, wherein Pearlesare engendred, moſt preci- 
ous for Phyſicke, and ſome of them fo Orient, that they give 
not place to the choiſcſt, 

(16) Noleſſe ſtrange thenany the fore-mentioned wa- 
ters,but more Jamentable isthe remembrance of the great 
inundation , hapnivg by the ſudden riſing of Tay, which 
bare away the Walles and Towne of Berth, and with it the 


Cradle and young ſon of King Filliam nto the Sea, where- | 


in the Royall Infant with many others periſhed , the King 
and his Courtiers hardly eſcaping the danger, with life, The 


ruine of this Towne raiſed another mere tamous, and more | 


commodiouſly ſcated, even Perth, fince called Saint Tobns- 
T oWne. _ | 
(17) 1lands and Inlets yeelding bothbeautic and ſub- 


j<Rion to this Scorriſh Kingdome are the Weſterne,the Ork- | 


nayes, and the Sherlands, reckoned tobe above three hun» 


Families, The Eccleſiaſtical Gps | 
itan Arch-bi- | 


| xian Sea, were anciently 


ted to have wives of their owne, 


dred in number; their Inhabitants for the moſt part uſing 
the frugalitic of the ancient Scor, | 

(18) The Weſterne ſcattered in the Dowcalide- 
dby a King of theirowne, 
whoſe maintenance wasout of their common Coffers, and 


the Regall authoritic neyer continued in Lineall ſucceſ- 
fion, for ( toprevent that ) their Kings were not permit- | 


t might- by their 
Lawes accompany other mens: as the like * Law 
was in the other parts of Scorlad, that the Virginitic of all 
new wives, ſhould be the Land-lords prey , till King /MHal- 
colme cnacted,that * half a marke ſhould be paid for redemp- 
tion. The reſidence of thoſe fore-mentioned Kings , was 
chiefly in 1a, Buwals, and Tona, now Columbkil, where (as 
Donald Mnnro, who trayclled thorow theſc Ilands report- 
eth) are three Tombes, having the ſeyerall Inſcriptions of 


| the Kings of Scorland, of Ireland, and of NorWa 


(19) Among theſe Feſterne Ilands, the Hebrides, Skie, 


Maula,llaand Arran, are the greateſt : Allof them plenti- | 


fall of Corne, Woods, Salmons, and Herringy, as others of 
Conics, Deere, Horſes, and Sheepe,where in ſome they are. 
Sl ndlacking Religion thy rather lhe radehoi cet 
civill, I fion, they rather live in {tate of 
neceſſitic , then as Lordsof theſe portions witch God hath 


allotted them; and with a ſufferable caſe, ignorant of ambji- | 
-| tion, enjoy thoſe contentments, which ſome others(though 


they nogreat ſumme ) doe more laborioully attaine unto 
the Preceptsof Philoſophy : for, feeding themſelyes wit 
competencie without any exceſſe, they returne all the oyer- 
plus unto their Lords , as doo the Inhabitants of Hirta and 
Rona; but alas, Religion not knowne __ , theſe 
penurious yertues are rather the curſes of Cham, then the 


| followings of Chriſt, whe forbids us #0 be zoo careful for the | 


morrow, 

(20) Thellesof Orkenay upon.the North of Scorland, 
lying in a moſt raging and tempeſtuous Sea, are about 
three and thirtic in number, whereof thirtecne arc inhabj= 
ted, and the other repleniſhed with Cattle : in theſe are no 
vencmous Serpents, nor other ugly vermine ; theaire ſharpe 
and hcalthfull , and the foyle apt to beare onely Oates and 
Barley, but not aſticke of wood 3 among theſe, Powoniais 
the greateſt, accounted and called the Maine-land, affor- 
ding ſixe Mincrals of Lead and Tinne, and in her chicfe 
Towne a Biſhops See : wherein are ſeated twelve Pariſh- 
Churches, one of them'yery Magnificent for ſo remote a 
Countrey. | 

(21) Of all the Rowares, Inlins Agricola fult diſcoye- 


red the Orkenajes; yea,and ſubdued them,if we willbelecve | 


Tacitus: but Pomponius Mela, that wrote thirtic yeers bes 
fore him,doth mention them,and I»#veralin Hadrians time 


after him, tels us the Romanes had wonne them ; and laſtly, | 


Claxdian nameth Saxons that were ſlaine in them , and fo 
doth Ninizs name Oftha and Ebiſſus, Saxon Commanders, 
who io their roving Pinnaces waſted the Orkenajes. Theſe 
Ilands Donald Bwne the uſurper of the Scotrifb Crowne, 
gaye to the King of NorWay for his aſſiſtance, and by the 
NorWegians were they held the ſpace 


with ſword and compoſition got them from Magnus the 
fourth, King of Norway, which afterward King Hagaia 
confirmed unto King Robert Brace : butlaſtly, Chriſtian the 
firſt, King of ty fer Denmarke , utterly renounced all 
his right to thoſe: lands , when he gays his Daughter in 
marriage unto King James the third , which deed was fur- 
ther ratified by the Pope , whoopeneththe way to the poſe 
ſeſſion of Kingdoms with his own key. 

(22) More North, and further then this Chart could 
well cxprefle, lye the Iſlesof Shetlavd, of ſome thought to 
be Thwle, and by the Commenter upon Horace, the Fortu- 
nate land, whereas Tzetzes fabuleth , the ſouls of good 


men are feryed into thoſe Elizien fields that ever grow | 


greene, and whence Tulixs (ſar could hardly be drawne, 
as Muretu pitten ; but their fiftions intended one» 
ly that the v fouls of tho dead goibe the uttermoſt 
bounds of earthly abode, and attained to an over-pleaſi 


repoſe , and ever-flouriſhing happineſle ; which whether 
they borrowed from the deferigrin of Paradiſe, (taken 


both for a faire Garden and the ſouls happie reſt) Icannot- 


define ; but ſure they would not haye made thoſe ficlds al- 
wayes greene, if they had ſeene how they lye ever covered 
with ce and Snow, beingin the 36. degree of Latitude, 
as Ptolemne hath placed it , where ( for the moſt

From this Erin therefore (a word proper to the Nation)the 
originallis moſt likely to be deduced.

ancient Riyer 1ber», and ſome from Hiere, an 1rifþ word,

Irelandby his Ogygia, for her great antiquitie ; and of latter

if you will belecve their records, make Antiquitic 
it ſelfe but young unto themſelves, affirming the damfell 
Ceſarea, and niece unto.Noah, to have found it out betore 
the Floud ; and that three hundred yeares after z when 14- 
phets polteritic tooke into theſe Welt-parts of the world, 
one Bartholanu of his Progeny, a Scythian by birth, encou- 
raged by the late ſuccefle of Nimrod (who now had intru- 
ded upon the Monarchy of Syri«) wandred ſo farre Welt, 
that Fortune atlaſt caſt him and his 
of Ireland, There he (ctled with his three ſormes, Lavgsin- 
a, Salanus, and Ruthurgus, who ſearching through every 
crecke and corner of the land, left their owne names by 
three notable places, Lavguini,Stragrms, and Mount Salar- 
£4, which the revolution of times hath ſince called by other 
name$,as S, Domincke-hill, Ruthur gi, and Stagnum. Vander 
tho government of theſe three ſonnes, and their off ſpring, 
this Land was kept about three hundred yeares; at Thich 
time there arrived alſoin /relaxd a Giant-like kinde of peo- 


ple of Nimrods race,who in bodily ſhape exceeded the pro- | 


portion of afuall men, uſing their ſtrength to winne ſoye» 
raigntics,and tooppreſle with rapine and violence. Theſe 
growing to numbers , accounted it neceflary to prevent 
dominion, leſt the curſe of ſlavery ( pO by Noah ) 
ſhould ys uponthem : topreyent the which, they ſet. up 
a King of their owne ; then quarrels bred daily, cither par»

to hold out againſt them, they left their ſtandings, and de» 
parted the Land. |

from the ſaid Nemerhus, came into theſe coaſts, and with 
manly proweſſe droye theſe milſcreants out of Ireland,

| to the Bay of Galway in her North, are about ninetie miles. Her 


' broadeſt part from Eaſt to Weſt , is from Waterford Haven to Feritey 
Haven, and centaineth an hundred miles. The whole circumference, 
by following the prometaries and indents , are above five hundred and 
fortie miles. | 

(3) The forme thereof is quadrant or foure-ſquare. The aire mille 
and temperate , neither too chilling cold,nor too ſcorching hot. The 
ſoyle in ſome parts is hilly, looking aloft with woody,wilde, and ſolita- 
ry mountaines: yetthe yallies below are garniſhed with corne-fields. 
And generally, all, both pleaſant for fight, and fertile for ſoyle. 

( 4 ) This Province is at this day divided into two parts : that is,the 
Weſt Mounfter, and the South Mounſter. The Weſt Mounſter was inha- 
bited in old time by the, Lucentthe Yelabri, and the Yrerim : the South 
Maounfter by the Oxdiz or Vodie, and the Coriondi. The Velabriand Lu- 
cent are {aid ( by Orofivs ) to have dwelt in thatpart of the Countrey, 
where it lyeth outmoit Weſtward , and paſling towards the Cantabrian 
Ocean, looketh afarre off to Gallitia in Spaine. The Lucens of Tre- 
land ( who ſeeme to have derived their name and originall from the 
Lucenfii of Gallitia , and of whom there ſtill remaine ſome reliques in 
the Bareny of Lyxnauw) are ſuppoſed to haye been ſeated in thole parts 
that lie neighbouring upon the banke of the River Shennon. 

( 5) The generall commodities of thisProvince are Corne, Cartle, 
Wood, Wooll, and Fiſh. The laſt whereof, it affords in every place 
plentie and abundance of all ſorts. But none ſo well knowne for the 
ſtore of Herrings that are taken there, as is the Promontorie called 
Eraugh,that lies betweene Bantre and Ballatimore Bay,whereunto every 
yeare a great Fleet of Spaniards and Portugals reſort ( even in the mid- 
deſt of Winter ) to fiſh alſo tor Cods. —_ 

( 6 ) The principall Citie of the Province is Limericke , which the 
Iriſh call Loumeagh , compaſſed about with the famous River Shennon, 
by the parting of the Channell. This is a Biſhops See , and the very 
Mart-Towne of Mounfer. It was firſt wonne by Reymond le Groſſe an 
Engliſhman,afterwards burnt by Dunewe!d an Iriſh petty King of Thuet- 
mond. Then in proceſle of time , Philip Breos an Engliſhman was in- 
feoffed in it, and King Fobn fortified it with a Caſtle, which he cauſed 
therein to be built. In this Caſtle certaine Hoſtages making their a- 
bode in the yeare 1332. grew (as 1s reported ) ſofull of pride and 
inſolencie, that they ſlew the Conſtable thereof, and ſeized the Caſtle 
into their own hands. But the reſolute Citizens , that could neither 
brooke nor beare with ſuch barbarous crueltie , did in revenge then 
ſhew ſuch manly courage and vivacitie, as they ſoone after recovered 
the Caſtle againe, repaying the Hoſtages in ſuch hoſtile manner,as that 
they put them all to the ſword without partialitie, The poſition of this 
Towne is by Mercator placed for Latitude 53. degrees 20, minutes ; 
and for Longitude, g. degrees and 34+ minutes. Neere unto the'Ri- 
ver that Ptolemy calleth Daxcona, and Giraldus (/ambrenfis ( by the al- 
teration of ſome few letters) nameth Sauranus and Suudrenus , which 
ifſueth out of Mauskerey Mountaines , is ſeated rhe Citie Corke, graced 
alſo with another Epiſcopall dignitie, (and with the Biſhops See of Clon 
annexed unto it) which Giraldu calleth Corragia, the Exgliſhmen Corke, 
and the native Inhabitants of the Countrey (,oreach. This Towne is ſo 
beſet on every fide with neighbouring moleſters , as that they are ſtill 
conſtrained to keepe watch and ward , as if there Jay continuall fiege 
againſt it. The Citizens of this place are all linkt together in ſome one 
ar other degree of affinitie , for that they dare not match their daugh- 
ters in marriage into the Countrey, but make contra&ts of matrimony 
one with another among themſelves, In this place, that holy and reli- 
gious man Briock is ſaid to have his birth and breeding, who flouriſhed 
among the Gauleg in that fruitfull age of Chriſtianitie,and frem whom 
the Dioceſſe of Sanbrioch in Britauie Armorica , commonly called S. 
Brieu, had the denomination. 

( 7) The Citig which the Iriſh and Brizaines call Porthlargy,and the 
Engliſh , Waterfofd, though it be laſt in place, yet is it notleaſt in ac- 
count, as being the ſecond Citie of all Ireland, as well for the conveni- 
ence and commodiouſneſſe of the Haven , that affords ſuch neceſſary 
aptitude for trade and traffique, as alſo for the faithfull loyaltie which it 
hath alwayes ſhewed to the Imperiall Crowne of England: for ever 
fince it was wonne by Richard Earle of Pembroke, it ſtill performed the 
obedience and peaceable offices of dutie and ſervice unto the Engliſh, 
as they continued their courſe in the conqueſt of Ireland : whence it is 


ny large Franchiſes and Liberties , which King Hewy the ſeventh did 
both augment and confirme. : SN | 
. (8) Although ſince the time of S.Patricke, Chriſtianitie was never 
extin& in this Countrey, yet the government being haled into contrary 
fations, the Nobilitie lawleſſe, and the multitude wilfull,it hath come 
topaſſe, that Religion hath waxed ( with the temporall common ſort) 
more cold and feeble,being molt of them very irreligious,and addied 
wholly to ſuperſtitious obſervations : for in ſome parts of this Province, 


that the Kings of England have from time to time endowed it with ma-

ſome are of opinion,that certaine men are yearely turned into Wolyes, 
and made Wolfe-men, "Though this hath been conſtantly affirmed by 
ſuch as thinke their cenſures worthy to paſſe for currant and credible; 

et let us ſuppoſe that happily they be poſſeſſed with the diſeaſe and ma- 
Jadie that the Phyſitians call Lycanthropi , which begetteth and engen- 
dreth ſuch like phantafics through the malicious humors of Melancho- 
ly : and fo oftentimes men imagine themſelyes to be turned and tranſ(- 
formed into formes which they are not, Some again embrace another 
ridiculous opinion, and perſwade themſelyes, that he who in the barba- 
rous acclamation and outcry of the Souldiers, which they uſe with great 
forcing and ſtraining of their yoyces , when they joyne battell , doth 


—_— 


not howte and make a noiſe as the reſt doe, is ſuddenly ca 
ground,and carryed as it were flying in the aire,out of any Countrey of 
Ireland,into ſome deſert yallies, where he feedeth upon grafſe, drinketh 
water,hath ſome uſe of reaſon,bur not of ſpeech, is ignorant of the pre- 
ſent condition he ſtands in, whether good or bad : yer at length ſhall be 
brought to his own home, being caught with the helpe of Hounds and 
Hunters. Great pitie that the foule fiend and father of darknefſe ſhoutd 
ſo grievouſly ſeduce this people with misbeliefe ,” and that theſe c rrours 
be not chaſed away with the truth of Chriſtian Religion 5 wher eby as 
they carry much grace in their countenances, they may alſo not be void 
of the inward grace of their ſoules and underſtanding, 

(9) This Province hath been fore waſted in the rebellions of Deſ- 
mond,to whoſe aide Pope Gregory the thirteenth,and Philep K.of Spaine, 
ſent certaine companies of Italians and Syaniards,who arrived not farre 
from Dingle,fortified themſelves , and gave it the name of Fort de Ore, 
ſoundidg loud threats againſt the whole Countrey. But Arthur Baron 
Grey, Lord Depntie of Ireland, at the firſt onſet decided their quarrell, 
by ſheathing his ſword in their bowels ; and Deſmond fearefully flying 
into the Woods,was by a Souldier cut ſhorter by the head. And againe, 
when the Kingdome of Ireland lay bleeding, and put almoſt to the haz- 
zard of the laſt caſt, Don Fobn D* Aquila, with eight thouſand Spaniards 
(upon confidence of the excommunications of Pius the fift, Gregory the 
thirteenth, and Clement the eight, Popes, all of them diſcharging their 
curſes like unto thunderbolts againſt Queene Elizabeth of bleſſed me- 
mory) landed neere unto K7nſale, preſuming that the rebellions of Ty-' 
rone had turned the hearts of the Triſh for Rome : Sir (harles Blunt Lord 
Montjoy,in the depth of Winter, and with his tired ſouldiers, ſo daunted 
their $pariſh hearts , that with one victory he repreſſed their bragging 
boldnefſe,and recovered the Iriſh that were ready to reyolt. 

( 10) God hath oftentimes ſhewed his tender love and affe&ion to 
this people , in laying his fatherly chaſtiſements and afflitions upon 
them , ſometimes by windes , ſometimes by famine and dearth, and 
ſometimes againe by opening his hand of plentie into their laps to con- 
vert them to himſelte, and to divert their hearts from ſuperſtitions. In 
the yeare 1330. about the Feaſt of Saint Fobn Baptif, there began ſuch 
a dearth of Corne in this Countrey, by the abandance of raine and the 
inundation of waters ( which continued untill Michaelmas following ) 
that a Cranec of Wheat was ſold for twentie ſhillings ,” a Cranoc of 
Oates for eight ſhillings, a Cranoc of Peaſe, Beanes, and Barley for as 
much. The windes the ſame yeare were ſo mightie , that many were 
hart, and many laine out-right by the fall of houſes that was forced 
by the violence of the ſame. The like whereof were never ſcene in 
Ireland. In the yeare 1317. there was ſuch a dearth of corne and o- 
ther vituals, thata Cranoc oft Wheat was ſold for twentie three ſhil- 
lings. And many Houſholders, that before time had ſuſtained and re- 
lieved a great number, were this yeare driven to begge, and many fa- 
miſhed. In the time of which famine, the mercy of God ſo diſpoſed, 
that upon the 27. day of June, inthe yeare 13 31. there came to land 
ſuch a mightie multitude of great Sea-fiſhes ( thatis ) Thurſheds, ſuch 
as in many ages paſt had never been ſeenc, that the people were much 
— in this diſtrefſe, and received great relicfe and ſuſtenance by 

e ſame. 

( x1) Places of Religion in this Countrey, were the two Abbies at 
Toghall,called the North- Abbey and South- Abbey: The two Abbies at 
Limericke,S. Francis Abbey, and S.Dominicke Abbey ; The two Abbies 
at Corke, the Abbey of the [le, and S. Frexcis Abbey : and the famous 
Abbey ( in times paſt) of the boly Croſſe, which bath had many privi- 
ledges and liberties granted unto it , in honour of a peece of (rift 
Groſſe, that was (as they ſay ) ſometimes preſerved there. Thus were 
Chriſtians perſwaded in ancient times. And it isa wonder in what 
Troopes and Aſſemblies 97; or doe ( evenyet) conflow thither 
deyotion, as unto a place of holinefle and ſanRitie : ſo firmely £4 wa 
fetled in the Religion of their Fore-fathers , which hath been increaſed 
beyond all meaſure by the negligent care of their Teachers , who 
ſhould inſtru their ignorance, and labour t6 reduce them from the er- 
rours they perſevere in, 2d : | 

This Province'is governed by a Lord Prefident , who hath one Aſſi- 
ſtant, two learned Lawyers, and a Secretary to keepe it in dutie and 
obedience. It was 1n times paſt divided into many partgas Towoun, that 
is,North-Mounfter ; Deſwoun, that is, South Mounſter ; Hierwoun,that is, 
Weſt-Mounſter, Mean-Woun,that is, Middle-Mounſtey ; and Vrwoun, that 
is, the Front of Mounſtey. But at this day it is diſtinguiſhed into theſe 
Counties ; Kerry, Deſmond, Limericke, Ti 


Tipperary, Holy-Croſſe, Waterford, 
and Corke : which Countie in times aft had mop for 


been a Kingdome, con- 
taining with it Deſmond alſo : for ſo in the Grant given by King Henry 
the ſecond unto Robert Fitz-Stephen, and to Miles de Cogan, it is called 
in theſe words:Know ye that I have granted the whole Kingdome of Corke, 
excepting the Citie and Cantred of the Ouſtmans , 0 hold for them and their 
heires, of me and you my ſonne,by the ſervice of ſixtie Knights. The Coun- 
tie of Waterford , King Henry the fixt gave unto Fohn Talbot Earle of 
Shrewsbury, with the name, ſtile, and title of Earle of TY aterford, which 
was afterward againe aſſumed to the Crowne. Touching the Countie 
of Holy-(roſſe, as the opinion of that much frequented Abbey is much 
leflened , ſo that Countie is ſwallowed up a)together in the Countie 
Tipperary.lt is fortified with five ſtrong Caſtles, traded with fixe Mar- 
ket-Townes, and divided as followeth, :

the middle, from citherpart it waxeth ſtillbigger and big- 
ger : exceeding in leagth from the River Shexnos in her 
South , to En# Kelling in her North, 126. miles, and the 
broadeſt part is from Tromer in her Baſt,to Barragh-Bay in 
her Welt, containing aboye foureſcore. The whole in cir- 
cuit and compaſle is aboye fourc hundred miles. 

(3) The ayre is not altogether fo pure and cleare, as in 
the other Provinces of Ireland, by reaſon of certaine moilt 
places (covered over with grafſe ) which of their ſoftneſle 
are uſually termed Boghes , both dangerous, and full of ya- 
porous and foggy-milts. : 

(4 ) This Countie as it is divided into ſeyerall portions, 
ſo is eyery portion ſoverally commended for the foyle , ac- 
cording to the feaſonable times of the ycare. Twomendor 
the Countic Clare , is ſaid tobe a Countrey ſo convenicnt]y 
fituated, that either from the Sea or Soyle there canbe no- 
thing wiſht for more , then what it doth naturally afford of 
itſelfe, were but the induſtry of the Inhabitants anſwerable 
tothe reſt. Galway isa land very thankfull tothe painefull 
husbandman, and nolefle commodious and profitable to the 


rd. Maio, inthe Reman Provinciall called HMageo, 
is repleniſhed both with pleaſare and fertilitie, abundantly 
rich in Cattell, Decre,Hawkes,and plentic of Honey. Slego 
( coaſting upon the Sea) isaplenteous Countrey for feed- 
ing and railing of Cattell. Le-Trim (a place riſing up 
thoroweut with hills) is ſo full of ranke grafle and forrage, 
that(as Solinus reporteth)ifcattell were not kept ſomtimes 
from graſing , their falnefſe would endanger them. And 
Roſcomen isa Territorie , for the molt part plaine and fruit- | 
full, feeding many Sorrrnd of _ and iran buſe 

bandry and tillage, yeeldi nty of corne. As cycty par- 
ticular part yu ſeycrally Laws bh by in-bred commodi- 
ties; ſo is it noleſſe commended (in the generalitie) for the 
many accommodate and fit Bayes, Creekes , and nayigable 
Rivers, lying upon her Sea-coalts, that after a ſort invite and 
provoke the inhabitants to Navigation. -. | 


(5) Such as inancient time made their abode and habi- 
tations in this Proyince, were the, GAN G ANI, who were 
alſo called CoONcANI, AVTERI,andNAGNAaA- 
| T a E. As tie Lucens (that were next neighboars unto 
them) came from tho Lacenſii, (in'Spaive) ſo thoſe Ganga- 
»s and Concani may ſeeme alſoto have fetcht their deriva» 
tion from the Concani (a Nation of the ſel-ſame Countrey) 
both by the affinitis ofname;, and vicinitic of place.” In Stre- 
bo.,according tothe diverſitic of reading,the ſame people are 
named Coniaci and Coniſci: and Silixs teſtificth them at the 
firſt to have beene Scythians, and to have uſed ordinarily to 
drinke horſes blood ( a thing nothing ſtrange among the 
wilde Iriſh cven of late dayes. ) And ſome may alſo hap» 
pily ſuppoſe that the 1riſs name (onawghty, was compoun- 
| dedof Concaniand Nagnare: Howloever, it is ſure that 
theſe were the ancient Inhabitants of this Countrey, as is 
tobe ſeen in Ptolemie. | | 
| (6 ) Theprincipall Citic of this Province, and which 
may worthily be accounted the third in Ireland, is Galway, 
in 1riſ6, Gallive, built in mannet much like to a Tower. It 
is dignified with a Biſhops See, and is much frequented 
with Merchants, by reaſon whereof, and the benefit of the 
Road and Hayen, it is gainefullto the Inhabitants through 
traffique and ex 
and Land. Not farre from which , neare the Welt-ſhoare 
| that lies indented with ſmall in-lets and out-lets, ina rew, 
are the Iſlands called 4rras, of which many a fooliſh fable 
goes, asif they were the Iſlandsof the living, wherein nono 
dyed atany time y or were ſubjeR to mortalitic 5 which is 
as ſuperſtitious an obſervation , as that uſed in ſome other 


_

e of rich Commodities, both by Sea 


corners of the Countrey , where the people leave the right 
armes of their Infants males unchriſtaed (asthey terme it ) 
to the end that at any time afterwards , they may give a 
more deadly and ungracious blow when they ſtrike : which 
things doe not onely ſhew how palpably they are carried a- 
way by traditious obſcurities, but doe alſo intimate hoy full 
their hearts be of inyeterate revenge. 

| (7) This Province preſents no matter more w 
memoric, then the Battell of Knoc-roe (that is) The hill of 
«axes, under which, the greateſt rabble of Rebels, that were 

ever ſcenobeforein Ireland, ( raiſed and gathered together 

by the Arch-Rebels of that time, Wiliam Burk O-Brien, 

Mace Nemare , and O-Carrol)) were after a bloodyover- 

throw diſcomfited and put to flightby the noble ſervice of 

Girald-Fitz, Girald Earle of Gildare. And the ſuppreſſion 
of certaine 1ri/5( the poſteritic of ac-Wiliew) who uſur- 
ping a tyranny in theſe parts, raged ſometimes upon them- 
ſelves, with mutuall injuries, and oppreſled tho poor people 
alobg time with extorting, pilling, and ſpoiling; fo as they 
left ſcarce one houſe in the countrey unrifled, or unraſed;but 
| were bridled and reprefied (cyen in oar remembrance ) by 
the ſeveritie and reſolution of the Commiſſioner of thoſe 
times, who in his wiſedome and policic well under- 
ſtood that their exceſſive infolence , and thoſe their un- 
juſt doings, would be a meanes to draw the people away 
from the due obedienc to their Prince t ſuch therefore 
asrefuſcd to obey the Lawes, and ſided with the tumul- 
tuous , with all care and diligence hee ſoone ſcattered, for-
