Est autem Hibernia insula omnium post Brittaniam maxima, ad occidentem quidem Brittaniae sita; sed sicut contra aquilonem ea brevior, ita in meridiem se trans illius fines plurimum protendens, usque contra Hispaniae septentrionalia, quamvis magno aequore interiacente, pervenit.
This Ireland next unto Britain is the greatest island of the ocean sea, and standeth westward of Britain; but as northward it is not so long as it, so southward it extendeth far beyond the boundaries of Britain and reacheth out to face the north parts of Spain, albeit with wide space of water running betwixt.
