THEPREFACE

TO THEREADER.

N this Nice Age , I cannot but expect tomeet with cenforious Criticks , who out offome felfends, or to be judged perſons expert in the knowledge of their Country willvillifie this Work, and queſtion my abilityto perform ſo great an Undertaking. Others may fay it isunneceffary, for that the Nation is fo well furnifhed with approved Authors of this Subje& , as well thofe in general , asMr.Cambden and Speed; as thofe ofparticular Counties. Somemay alſo judge the Work Imperfect, for that (' tis probably)fome Market towns, Cafiles , Rivers , Hills, Parks , MedicinalSprings, or places of Note (either for antiquity or wonder) areomitted, or at leaftwife not fully treated of: Likewife fomeexpert in Geography may find fault with the Mapps; and fomeothers may probably take exceptions as being omitted in thefaid Work, when others of leſs eminency are taken notice of:or for that there may be fome miſtakes in their Names, Titles,or Seats.Modeftly to anſwer theſe, or the like ſuppoſed Objections ,give me leave to fay; That I do not own my felfthe Author,but the Undertaker of this Work, it receiving Birth from divers Manufcripts , from all Books yet extant that have writ ofthe fame fubject , as well in general , as in particular: andA 2 fromThe Prefacefrom fome hundreds of experienced perſons in the ſeveral partsof this Kingdom of England, who have freely contributed theiraffifting bands in the promoting the fame , and rectifying orenlarging the deſcriptions ofſuch places, &c. as are known unto them, as occafion required according to the method hereintreated of; and it is my opinion that it is an Undertaking togreat and difficult to be performed by any one perfon now living, without the affiftance of others.1That as to the utility thereof, 'tis true , there are ſeveralworthy and approved Authors, which in their wayes deſervegreat applaufe, and have been well received; which hathemboldned me to go forwards with this Undertaking , and therather for theſe Reaſons; That Cambden is a very dear Book,fcarce, much out ofprint, and never like to be reprinted; norwould it be acceptable in this our age, the face of the Kingdome being fo much changed to what it then was , I mean tothe Families ofthe Gentry in each County, which I conceive hewas ſomething imperfect in, or at leaft wife impartial, in giving large encomiums upon fome Families, and by omitting ofothers of as great note or eminency; although this, with the ta-?king notice ofthe antiquities of the Kingdom was his chief bufinefs; for as to his Geographical, or rather Topographical Defcription of the Towns in each County , he is very thort and imperfect; neither are his Mapps much to be commended. That'for Speed, his defcriptions are more fhort , but his Mapps in general are the beſt yet extant, which hath occafioned them tobe fo well approved of, that with uſage they are ( or foonwill) become uſeleſs; And thus much I may be bold to ſay,That (as to England) you will find divers things, and places ofnote and concernment here treated of, which are omitted inothers: But for Scotland and Ireland I do not much pretendto; yet as Kingdoms belonging unto his Majefty , I have givenfhort descriptions thereof, as I have done of thofe AmericanPlantations to which the English are fo eminently related.·And well underſtanding that this Age is for brevity, it hathbeen my chief buſineſs to have every thing rendred as confpicuous and conciſe as poffible, and not to trouble the Readerto the Reader.der but with fuchthings and places that are note- worthy, eitherfor antiquity, or concernment as to matter of Trade and Commerce:nor can it in reaſon be expected that large Difcourfes fhould bemade,ifthey confider that I am confined to the narrow limitsofa Twenty fhillings Volume.•That as tothe Mapps, I cannot juſtifie them without fault,yet I may ſay, they are not much inferiour to the beſt yet extant for truth,though for fightlineſs ( as being in a ſmaller Scale)they may be (byfome) deemed not fo graceful;and I hope theReader will be fo partial as not to condemn them for theirfaults until they have recourſe to thoſe of Speeds from whichthey were taken, for I donot pretend to a new furvey. And Iam of the opinion, That there are none (nor ever will be any)made without faults,either in the pofition, omiffion, or mif- callingofplaces, the courfes of Rivers, the divifion, form, or extent oftheCountry: yet there may be fome that by new Surveys may pretend to do much in the rectifying all fuch errors, and to makethem faultleſs, which I ſhould be heartily glad to fee, as being a Work offuch general good.Andbeing unwilling togivebirth to a Volume that ſhall havenothing new in it, I have (with no ſmall pains and expence)collected an Alphabetical Catalogue of the Names,Titles,and Seatsof the Nobility and Gentry that each County of England andWales is (or lately was) enobled with, hoping in the whole theReader may find matter to pleaſe his phanfie,which may makeit favourably accepted of, and embolden me to proceed withthe remainder of my Volumes.But the Reader is defired to take notice that the framing offuch a Catalogue, with reſtriction to ſuch a County or Seat, is athing ruffled with ſo many contingencies , that exactneſs isſcarce ever attainable, the thing in it ſelf bearing ſo much repugnancy,for there are ſeveral Gentlemen that can no more befaid to be ofone County then of another, having either Eftatesin one, and Manfion- houſes in another, or equal Lands and equalrefidence in both. Again, fome ofthe ancient boufes, throughdecay have only noted refidence, no noted Estates; others,Landsno fixed refidence; others are Tenants here, owners elſewhere;A 3andThe Prefaceand others wealthy in money, but landed no where. And it appears that a Gentleman may be as well known by the place wherehe hath fometime lived , as where he hath been ſome time landed(eſpecially in a ſelling age as ours is. ) Now this defign beingcomprehenfive, and to furniſh ſuch as are converfant in Honour,with hints for further diſcoveries; it is thought convenient togive as many inſtances as do occur of ſuch Families ofnote, asnow are (or lately were)known to beſeated, dwelling, orpoßefforsof Estates in each County of England andWales. And if any fhallfind himſelfgrieved by omiffion,when others of les eminencyare taken notice of, or that he hath not right done him in hisName,Titles,or Seat: I muſt give this for myplea, That there isno corn without ſome chaff, and for fuch omiffions or mistakes, Iam altogether ignorant of, prefuming the information I received (being from the hands of Perfons fo knowing inthe feveralCounties as well by reaſon of their publick Offices as otherwiſe)was true, and my ſufficient warrant for the ſame. But if theypleaſe to give themſelves the trouble to inform me of the fame;for the preſent I fhall beg their pardon, and forthe future beready to ferve them,and do them right.But before I conclude, it will not be unneceffary to acquaintthe Reader with my next Volume,hoping that fome that are concerned in this, may be alfo encouragers thereof; an accountofwhich is as followeth. The Volume fhall contein two Parts,orTomes;the firſt ſhall be a Geographical Defcription of the four partsof the world , being a Tranflation from theWorks ofthe famousMonfieur Sanfon late Geographer to theFrenchKing; to which areinferted the Commodities,Coyns, and Meaſures (as tothe matter ofTrade with England) ofthe chiefCities and places ofTraffick inthe knownWorld,as they were received from the hands ofdiverseminent Merchants: And as an Appendix there is added a Treatife ofTravel,and another ofTraffick; and for the further utility are added divers Mapps of the particular Kingdomes. Andthis Volume is already printed.The Second Part (which is nowin the Prefs) is a Tranflationfrom the Works ofthe much eſteemed Geographer Varenius;and treateth of the Arts of Coſmography and Geography. Whereinareto the Reader.are at large handled all fuch Arts as are neceffary to be underftood for the true knowledge thereof; as the ufe ofthe Globes,and other Mathematical Inftruments, the Arts of Navigation andDyalling, and the making of Mapps and Sea-Charts, &c.to whichfhall be added the much wanted Schemes omitted by the Author. And for the further compleating the fame, ſhall be added about 100 Geographical and Hydrographical Tables of all theknown Countries, Kingdomes and Iles in the World; with theirchief Cities, Sea-port Towns,&c. And for Englandand Wales,there ſhall be added an Alphabetical Account of all the Cities,Towns, Villages,&c.fhewing in what County, and in what hundredor wapontackin the faid County they are feated; by which meansany Town,Village or Hamlet may be readily found out in the Mappof the County in which it is feated. And this Part ſhall be finiſhed by or before Hillary Terme next , and ready to be delivered to thoſe that are, or fhall be concerned therein, payingfor both Parts 30 $. to wit 20 s. when they fubfcribe,for whichif they pleaſe they ſhall receive the firſt Part, and 10 s. uponthe delivery of the Second, as aforeſaid.Farewel.(Richard Blome.A NAlbemarle, DukeSt.Albons, Earl7 BarnardiftonAn Alphabetical Table ofthe Benefactors to this WORK;whofe Names, Titles, Seats, and Paternal Coats of Arms may be found in the enfuing Catalogue according tothe number here fet down.AAdyeA number215 Barbon587 BardBneyAcklandActon 539 Barker168 Barnabynumber number439 Bourne 26944 Bouverie 312579 Bowle704408 Bowtle 150655 Boys10 Barnardifion147Aldrich 763 Bradfbaigh411 Barrington630Aldworth445 Bramston146 BarwickAldworth437 Brampton54625 BarwisAlisbury,Earl501 Brereton 415186 Baskervile698612 BrewerAllen 165 Baßet542Allen 417 Ballet407 Bridges 371610 BridgesAlleyn 322 Bath, Earl 372Allington, LordII Bridges48 BattieAlport458 Bridgman 373159 BeareAnderton 552 Beckingham727 Bridgman177199Anwill148 Bridgwater, EarlAnwillArgallArlington, Earl557 Beckwith558 Bedford, Earl509 Bedingfield 12 Bedle68442 Bright381 Brook 43442042 Brofter 171Armiger 678 Beheathland733 Broughton 340Armyne272 Brouncker, Lord336 Bellafis, Lord76St. Asaph,Biſhop112 Brouncker555 Bence378 251 BrowneAfb6115 Bendish 508 BrownlowAlb 45 Benet 173Afbburnham87 Buckhurft, Lord 664 BenetAfbburnham423 Buckle 535722 Berkenhead 448Afbmole 58 |Berkley, Lord83 Buckingham, Duke 6Aftley,Lord97 Buckworth191 BerkleyAftley 192 Berkley 583 Buckley, Vifc.313578584 BullerAfton 210 BerkleyAftry626 Bulstrode697284 Berry 755 694 BurkinAtfield 470 Beribam 302362 BurnetAtkyns 102 Bickerton.Atwood 375 Bindles 178 Busby472389Aungier, LordAmbrey747 Blackerby529 Butler44I132 Butler605 Blackwall 719489 ButtonAyloff 700Blake609Ayloff B 701 Blaketh 339 Byde 486BAberBaconBackwellBagnallBagfbawBaldocke14 Blithman167 Blois281 Byde 487646 Byrd C356244 Blome617 Blount92 BlountCa170 Ampion570 Campion744763390 Gannynge 396757 Bludworth 391 Canterbury, Biſhop 715BallBampfieldBanksBaltimore, Lord164 Blundell75 Boon232 Garbery, Earl 562350 Cardigan, Earl 170Banks588 Borlafe23 Borlafe714 Borrough291 Carlisle, Earl 88158 Garleton687 Garr720142524 Garr 286CarringtonTABLETCamden, Vifc.Carrington, Vifc.CarterCarterCarteretCaryCaftleGater5786 Cornwallis538 Cotterell523 Gotton754 Goventrey674 Drake66.

Someearneſtly argue for it to be" Onur, viz. happy ,and that is moſt proper, it being fuch a goodly, pleaſant , fruitfull , andhappy place to inhabit in. This Albion refted 608 years , until Brutus ,aliàs Brytus Julius, appearance in the year of the worlds Creation 2828,B who2 Ifles of Great Britain.Ap A thurs Hiftory.who fubduing the fame, changed that name into Britain. Asfor the particulars of this, you mayſee Mr. Cambden, and others who difcourfe ofit, as they are informed by one Ap Arthur of Monmouths History of GreatBritain , publifhed in the reign of King Henry the fecond, where amongfſtotherthings, he relates a long ſtory of this Brutus a Trojan, andby whatmeans he fet footing onthis Ile. Mr.Gambden,and John Weathamstead theAbbot, are of opinion that this ftory of Brutus is but a mear Poetical fiThings to be tion. Forevery Hiftorian, before he ought to attempt the credit, or wriobferved by tingof an Hiftory, muftobferve the obfcurity and fabulouſneſs of things:now this Ap Arthur receiving its birth 330 years before the first Olympias, which was a rude and ignorant age, ' tis very improbable he ſhouldbeable to give a good account of things, as the Hiftory pretends to do. Butto returnto myfirſt Difcourfe; others there are which would have thisword Britania extracted from Britona a fair Nymphof Greece; and fomefromBrit, or Brith, fignifying paynted, and Taniaa Kingdom, which compound the Greek word Berla, or Bpidavia , the painted Kingdom. Theſepeople uſed to paint themſelves with divers colours , but chiefly whichthe Juice of an herb called Oad orWoad.an Hiftorian.Fompenius Mela.Oppianus called them 'Abral ,the painted people. Pompenius Melawas non-pluft at their humour in painting themfelves in that manner: butfince his time, fome have took uponthem the declaringthe myſtery ofthatfancy; and ſay that thofe whowere illuftrated by Pictures, reprefentingcountenances grym and gafhful, ferved for terrour and amazement, believing it a great advantage againſt an enemy in time of battle. And asthey were a blood thirfty people, fo were they alwaies earneſt, and greedyThe Britains of victory, and what they could not gain by ftrength, they aimed at byindifpofitions policy, and craft; well knowing howto fharpen warby inraging furies ,like theDutch, and to flatter up an advantageous peace byfiniling friendship.

And its fhape and form is Triangular.This Kingdom may be divided into two, though unequal parts, to wit, Englands dişENGLANDand WALES, feperated each from otherby the Severn, and vifion.a Linedrawn tothe River Wye. But the more certain and particular divifion was byahuge Ditch ( which beginning at the influx of the Wye intothe Severn, reached to Chefter, where the Dee disburthens it felf into theSea) 80 miles in length, made by Offa King of the Mercians , and by theWelch called ClaudhOffa, that is, Offa's Dike. Inthe time of King Herald; to Welch-man was to pass this Ditchwitha Weapon, on pain ofloofinghis right hand.ENGLAND mayagain be ſubdivided into forty Shires or Countiesor into fixparts, according as theſe Shires are allotted for the Circuits ofthe Itinerary Judges.the CircuitsThis Kingdom wasfirſt divided intoCircuits byKing Henry the Second, Divifion aċwho twice every year appointed, that two of the chiefeft Judges of the cording toLand, fhould in each Circuit, in the principal and moft convenient Town ofthe Judges.in each County, fit to hear Caufes, and to adminifter Justice, for the ease ofhis Subjects. One of thefe Judges was to determine criminal Offences,andthe other for Controverfies, Debts, and the like; which faid Custom tothis day is obferved. And according to this divifion , the firſt Circuitwill conteinthe Counties ofWilts, Somerfet, Devon, Cornwal, Dorfet, andHantfbire. The fecond, thofe of Oxford, Berkshire, Glocefter, Monmouth,which accordingto the divifion ofthe Saxon Heptarchy, is a Welch County, Hereford,Worcester, Stafford, and Shropshire.

The fifth , thofe ofNorthampton, Rutland, Lincoln, Nottingham, Darby, Warwick, and Leicefter. And thefixth, thofe of York, Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland,Westmorland, and Lancashire. And in thefe fix Circuits there are but 38Counties, the two remaining, to wit, Middlefex and Cheshire being exempted; the firft for its vicinity to London, and the laft, as being a CountyPalatine, and having its peculiar Judges.Again, every one of theſe Shires, are fubdivided into Hundreds,Wapontacks, orWards, and thofe again into Parishes , which comprehendeth Beroughs, Villages, Hamlets, Endships, or Tithings.King Alfred was the first who ordained the divifion of this Kingdom Hundreds,into Hundreds or Wapontacks, andTithings; tothe end that every English- and Tithingsman, living under law as a liege Subject, might be of a certain Hundred or edTithing, out of which he was not to remove without fecurity; and if a manwas accuſed of any Crime, he was forthwith to bring for his furety one ofthe faid Hundred or Tithing, to answer the law inflicted on fuch an Offen- dor;and if in cafe anaccufed perfon did make an eſcape, then there wasa fine levied bythe King upon the Hundred orTithing where the Offendordwelt.

But when the Picts , Scots,Hunns, and Saxons, had laid allthings waft, and destroyed all Learning ,this withthe reft (having loft her Athenian Students) lay like a defolateWidowdeploring her fad condition, till at lengththe Saxons became civil themſelves; and Sigilbert the first Chriftian King of the Eaft-Saxons,eftabliſhed here ſeveral Schools, as alfo at other places in the Kingdom, andcheriſhed Learning,calling hither the Profeffors ofArts and Sciences, whichfoon florifhed; but the mercilefs Danes in their deftructions, fparingneither root nor branch, this felt their heavy hand, and was again laidwaſte. But when the Normans became Mafters of the Kingdom, theſe Danifh ftorms were foon blown over, and Profeffors of Arts and Sciences reforted hither, and where they could get convenient places, read Lecturesof Grammer, Logick, Rhetorick, and Divinity upon the Sabbath, and Feftivaldayes. Andfrom this little Fountain grew this now famous Universityor Seminary of true Learning, which is nowthe chiefeft ornament of Cambridge, being beautified and fairly adorned with fixteen magnificent Colledges and Halls, all which are well furniſhed with painful Students, andProfeffors of the feveral Arts and Sciences , which ( with her Sifter Oxford, the other Universityof this Kingdom ) doth fufficiently enrich thisLand with the knowledge of true Literature. And by reafon of theſeSeminaries, it is a place of a large extent , numbring fourteen ParishChurches, is adornedwith well built Honfes, and its Streets are paved andwell ordered. It is aTown-Corporate, endowed with ample immunities,and fendeth four Burgefles to Parliament; that is to fay , two for the Univerſity, and two for the Town. Here wasformerly a large Caftle, whichtime hath nowreduced to ruin. According to the obfervation of Dr.Fuller in his Worthies of England, it is a Town within a University, wherethe Golledges are not furrounded with Streets,but for the generality featedon the out-fide of the Town , affording the better and more delightfulWalks and Gardens about them,which is not fo generally at Oxford, whichhe tearmeth a Univerſity withina Town.This place is very well inhabited,and frequented, enjoyeth a good Trade;& itseMarket which is on Saturdays,is fufficiently furnished with Provifions, which are herehad at eafie rates.Gogmagog-hills Nigh unto Cambridge Southwards, are Gogmagog-hills, which are of agreat eminency, and retain yet the remembrance of the Danish ftation(where, onthe top thereof is to be feen a Rampier , ftrengthened with athreefold Trench, and was held to be a place in a manner impregnable: andof theſe Hills the Country people will tell fine fabulous ſtories.Ely.Ely,feated in the Ifle fo called, in a Fenny and waterifh place , and onthe Banks of the Owfe, whichrendreth it unhealthful.

This place felt the fore hand of the Danes, but was foon afterre-edified byEthelwold Bishop of Winchester, who planted here a Monaftery of Monks, whichgrew exceeding wealthy , and fo continued till theReign of Henry the Eighth. It enjoyeth amplepriviledges; for inthe IleofEly, the Bishop hath all the rights ofa County Palatine, and beareth chieffway therein; for by his own power heappointeth a Judge, to hear and determine all catifes arifing within thefaid Ile); heholdeth Affifes, Goal delivery, and Quarter Seffions of the Peace for the faid Liberty, and hath hischief Bailiff, and under Bailiffs of the Hundreds, for the execution of Proceſs. It is at preſent a City ofno great fplendor orgrandure, neither is itover-muchfrequented or inhabited, and would be far lefs, were it not forbeingthe See ofa Bishop, whofe Palace is now fo ruinous, that it is unhabitable. Its Cathedral or Minster ( dedicated to St. Ethelred, and was theworkof feveral Bishops) is a lofty Structure, proudly fheweth it felf to allthe adjacent parts, and is beautified with a ftately Lanthorn, being a curious piece ofArchitecture.

This City iscommodioufly feated on the River Tare , which fevereth it , but isjoyned together by feveral Bridges , ( which after it hath falutedYarmouth, difchargeth it felf into the Sea ) as alfo in a pleaſant Valley, but on an eafie afcent.

Here is alfoan Hofpital where one hundred poor menand women are maintained: yetis this City notwithout feveral thatched buildings, but fo neatly wroughtthat they are no eye-fore to the Spectator; but of late there is an ordermade, that no houfe, either new built or repaired, fhall be thatched, buttyled. It may not improperly be called an Orchard in a City, or a City in an Orchard , byreafon of the pleaſant intermixture of the houseswith trees, fo that the populoufnefs of a City, and the pleaſure of theCountry meet together. This City was firſt governed by four Bailiffs ,but by Henry the Fourth in Anno 1403, it was incorporated into aMajoralty , and made a County,whofe limits extend to Eaton-bridge; It enjoyeth feveral large immunities, fendeth Burgeßes to Parliament, hath anEpifcopal See, and conteineth within its Diocefs the Counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, wherein are numbred 121 Parifbes , of which 385are Impropriations; and hath four Arch-Deacons , viz. of Norwich, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Sudbury.It is honoured with the Title of an Earldom, which is at prefent in theperfon of the Right Honorable Henry Howard, Earl Marfbal of England,&c.

It is well inhabited by Merchants and Trades-men, who drive aconfiderable trade, and the more by reafon of its commodious Haven; yetis it mucheclipsit in its trade to what it had formerly, by reafon of theftoppage of a Sluce upon the River Owfe, which doth obftruct the currentof Salt-water, fo that the River is fcarce Navigable to Cambridge.Markets are on Tuesdays and Saturdays , which are very well pro-'vided with commodities , and reforted unto , eſpecially that of Inefdays.•ItsNigh untothis Town, onthe other fide of the Owfe, is a little MerfbCountry, called Merfbland , very ſubject to inundations , occafionedbyNORFOLK. 171by the overflowing of the tempeftuous Ocean , which rendreth it verymoift and aguifh; but in recomperice, is of an exceeding fat foil, and feedeth abundance of sheep and oxen.

Yet is it a Borough-town, ele&teth Parliament men, and is governedby a Maior,and 12 Aldermen.Here is a very ancient Castle of good ſtrength,belongingto the Right Honorable Henry E. of Norwich and Earl Marshal,who is created Baron of Caftle-rifing, from the Caftle fo called.

TheEaſtern parts all along the coafts for five or fix miles Inland , are Its foil andgenerally heathy, fandy , full of little hills and fprings , and verybleak, though heretofore it ſhould ſeem to have been far morewoody, as appears by the old Saxon names given to the Towns and placesthereabouts; viz. Holton, Soworld, Walderswick, Weftwood- lodge, Hafilwood, Woodhall in Sutton, Ramfbet, Waldringfield, Walton, Holt, Wald, andWowld, being the fame which wood in Saxon or oldEnglish. The husbanding of the ground is for Rye, Peas, Brank, Hemp, Sheeps-walks, &c. Themore inland part is commonly called High- Suffolk, or the Wood-lands , andpretty level, cloſe and dirty, being clay ground , and is husbandedchiefly for the Dairy. The Southern parts along the borders of Effex, andabutting on part of Cambridgſhire, are much of the fame nature for Woodand Paftureground. The parts about Bury,and from thence North-weſternly, are champaign orfielding, abounding with excellent corn of all forts;except fome parts near New-market, which is a green Heath,very pleaſantfor Horsmanship.isIn the Wood- lands the great trade is for butter and cheeſe, which ( exceptingfome of the first made, bought up by certain Kentish men for FeverSham Fair) is there managed by Factors employed by the London Cheesemongers, which are difperft up and downthe Country, who buying it at theDairies,fhip it at the coast forLondon,and from thence it is difperfed to forraign parts, being of a condition for the induring long Voyages , beyondanyother Cheeſe whatever. The butter, which bath now the great name,is fpent chieflyin England ( or France) and preferred before that ofotherCounties. But the cheese is justly difeſteemed at home, beingufually lean, if Its trade andnot ill handled, not becauſe the ground will furnifh no better, orthe Dairy- Manufactures,wives art can reach nofurther,but becauſe the Merchant will give as muchfor flett, or lean ware(that ferving his turn as well forSea)as he will give forright two-meal. In the Wood-lands alfo, and North-east part of the County,a208 SUFFOLK.1condition.a confiderable trade is driven in linnen made into Hufwives-cloth, or falecloth. In the Track betwixt Woodbridge and Saxmundam, with their neighbouring Towns, is a good trade in Pouldavys for fail-cloth, and in fackcloth. In the Southern Track, the great, but decaying trade, is in broadcloth forbeyond Sea , the Weftern cloths having out-ftript both. Thereis alfo a trade carried onforWool. Inthe Weſtern parts, in the parts about Bury, and to the South-weft, isa great employ in spinning Whitework for Norwich-Worsteds, which is helped forwards by Packers diftributing prepared wool up and down the Country at certain dayes, and receiving it in yarn at other fet dayes. The coaft has been eminent for theFilbing-trade , but it is now miferably decayed , to the damage of theCounty and Kingdom.High-Suffolk, or the Wood-land, is chiefly the feat of the reomanry, fewbeing there either very rich, or very poor, only in the Clothing-WoodlandsIts relative many are brought to poverty. In the great Towns, the mixt ſoil , thefielding by Bury, and the Sand-lands , the Gentry are commonly feated;the latter, that is, the Sand-lands, as to that are much of the nature ofNorfolk and Cambridgfbire, there being ufually one Gentleman in a Town, thereft feldom above the rank of Pefants. Norfolk exceeds Suffolk in numberof its Churches , but Suffolk doth more excell Norfolk in the handſomneſs ofthem; many of thofe of Norfolk (excepting Norwich, and the great Townswhich are fumptuous enough) being of thatcht roofs , and otherwife oftoo homely building. And though the coasts of Suffolk are at this day accounted in compariſon the leaftGentile, yet their churches are manyofthemthe faireſt, and their Steeples the loftieft. Effexdiffers from Suffolk inthislaft particular , by the multitude of its little Spire-fteeples, or TaperingShafts.Its bounds.Its extent.Its conveniencies.Its chiefRivers.Its honour.Its divifion.This County is of a large extent, and hath for its Eaſtern bounds theGerman Ocean; for its Southern the River Stower, which disjoyneth itfrom Effex; for its Weſtern, Gambridgfbire; and for its Northern , theWaveney, and the little Owfe which fevereth it from Norfolk.The length of this fbire from Dunwich in the Eaft, to New-market in theWeft, is about 40 miles; and its breadth in moſt places about 20 , exceptpart towards the Sea, which is above 30; whence its circumferenceis 140 miles.the'Tis bleft with an Air fofweet and wholfome,that London Phyficians ofttimes preſcribe it for the cure of their comfumptive Patients. It is wellftored with Parks, well watered with freſh Streams,well repleniſhed withGoods of profit , and fufficiently furnifht with accommodations forpleaſure , which makes it fo much inhabited and frequented by Gentry.It is beyond other Counties ferved with Rivers and Brooks, the chiefeſtamongſt which are the Owfe, the Weveney, Stower, Breton, Orwell orGippe, Deben, Ore and Blith. The two branches of the Owe are wellftored withfresh-water-fifh; the outlets of the other communicating withthe Sea, abounds with falt-water-fifb common to us in England, efpeciallythe Channels of Ipfwich, Woodbridge, and Orford.This fire, which heretofore has been a Dukedom, is now dignified withan Earldom, appertaining tothe Right Honourable James Howard Earl ofSuffolk, Baron HowardofWalden, Lord Lieutenant of the County.Suffolk is moregenerally divided into two parts , viz. the Franchise orLiberty of St. Edmond, and the Geldable; each of which furniſhes a diftinct GrandJury at the Affizes. The Franchife conteins the Weftern partof Suffolk, the Geldable the Eaftern; which latter comprehends the LibertySUFFOLK.209ty of Bliihing , or Bettles divifion , conteining the North-eaft; the Liberty of St. Andry, or divifion of Woodbridge, the middle the Eaſt; and theLiberty or Divifion of Ipfwich, the South- eaft, with fome inland Hundreds, all which have their Bailiffs or Sheriffs, bearing fubordination, orrefpect to the High Sheriffof the County: To which four Divifions areallotted alfo four Quarter- Seffions to be remembred in their places. It isalſo ſubdivided into 22 Hundreds, in which are numbred 575 ParishChurches; amongſt which, for the accommodation of its Inhabitants, arè27 Market-towns, of whichin order.Ipswich (in the Saxon Gypefwic, whence the Latin Gippefwicus, that is, Ipswich ,the borough on the River Gype) feated on a falling ground to the Southward, bythe bank of the River Orwell, or Gyppe, hard by the place whereits freſh water and falt meet, which (with the Tyde) gives it the conveniency of a Key: ' tis a place of great Antiquity, and was once fencedabout with a Wall or Rampier, which in anno 991 was thrown down by theDanes , that forely haraffed thoſe parts. Nine years after they camewith a freſh fury, leaving nought fave the ruines of the houses. But theDanish ftorms blowing over it began again to flouriſh, ſo that Domesdaybook reckoned 800 Burgeffes, paying custom in the reign of St. Edward:And though it beno City, yet for its largenefs, containing now 12 ParishChurches, (befides St. Georges Chappeland another Parish Church now decayed) its various streets, populousness , and trade, it may be ranged in thenumber ofCities. 'Tis at prefent a Town Corporate, well priviledged, andfendeth Burgeffes to Parliament; ' tis governed by two Bailiffs, chofenannually out of twelve Port-men clad in fearlet, and 24 Common Councilclothed inpurple; alfo a Recorder, a Town Clark, five Sergeants, ofwhichone is for the Admiralty, and other Sub-Officers. Its bounds from St. Mathews inthe Weft, to St. Hellens in the Eaft,, is about a mile; and fromStoke inthe South, to St. Margarets in the North, abové a mile: in whichare comprehended feveral fair buildings and rows ofCity- like houses; andas for its paving, it is a Town of the cleanlieft ftreets of any in Englandexcept Bristol: but as to its Trade, receiving its riches from the Sea, ithas bornthe fate ofother late damaged Goaft- Towns; fo that ofabout 140Sail within ordinary memory, they have at prefent not above 60 Sail;ofwhich five or fix are imployed in the paffa*ge trade, three or four toDantzick, and the East Country, two or three occafionally to Rotterdam,and as many to the North Sea to fish for Codd, and the reft in the NewCaftle trade. Next to the Sea-trade hath been that of Clothing, for Watfhetsand Plunkets, &c. for Ruffia, the Sound, and the Southward; but that isnowfallen into the hands ofa few, and more advantagious now is the affairofShip-building, for whichthey imploy five or fix building births, and havehands enough for a quick dispatch. To which may be added the trade ofSaltfishing. Their Markets arethrice in the week, viz. onWednesdays andFridays, good forfish and butter, and on Saturdays well furniſhed and frequented for all forts ofprovifions. This Town fhews the ruins of fix orfeven Religious houses, one whereof, viz. Chrift Church is converted into theManfion houfe of the Right Honourable the Lord Vifc.

This Town was famous for its Abbey, whichfor fairness, and prerogatives exceeded all others in England: it had in"the fame Church-yard three lefs Churches,as her waiting Maids, of all whichthere now remain but two, which are fair and ſpacious Structures , butſcarce fufficient for the Inhabitants,whichare too many fortwo Affemblies.It was built again of new curious work by King Canute, to expiate the facriledge of his Father Swenus against the former Church or Abbey, and impiety tothe person of King Edmund , offering his Crown upon the Tombof this holy Martyr, bringing in eMonkswith their Abbot, giving it fairMannours, and ample Furifdictions and Priviledges, together with theTown it felf, full and whole; indeed , the reliques that this Abbey ftillfhews, are far more majeſtick, then the ruins of other houses of its kind.The fcituation of the Town is exceeding pleaſant, being on a fallingground, towards a finall River on the Eaft, and in an Air as much famedas any in England, which draws the Gentry thither from feveral diftantplaces; whence alfo, for the more ingenuous training up of Youth , theTown is furnifht with a good Grammar- School for Lads, and other ſchooling for young Gentlewomen according to the Modes , and Institutes ofthe Gentry of this Age , therein fymbolizing with thoſe about London ,and at Shrewsbury and other places.

This City of Salisbury,commonly called New- Sarum, was raifed out of theold, which was dryly featedon a great Eminence, being a place only defigned for frength andwar; yet honoured it was with an Epifcopal See, and a fair Cathedral.

Amongst its immunities fendeth Burgeffes to Parliament,(as doth Old-Sarum) is a place well inhabited and frequented, enjoyeth agood trade; and its Markets, which are on Tuesdays and Saturdays , arevery confiderable for corn and provifions, and for living cattle on Tuefdays:1This Dioceßconteineth the Counties ofWilts and Berks, in which are544 Parish Churches , of which 109 are Impropriations, and hath threeArch-Deacons, viz. of Salisbury, Berkshire, and Wiltshire.?This Cityis encompaffed withopen Fields and Plains,which take theirnamefrom the City; in which faid Plains at about fix miles diſtance, is tobe ſeen the great and wonderful piece of work called Stone-henge, compofed of great andunwroughtftones, fome of which are 28 foot high, and7 broad, and fo laid over-thwart one another, that it is wonderful to behold, infmuchthat thepeople reckon them to be one of the wonders andSee Cambden, miracles of this Nation. And thefeftones are faid to be thus raiſed by theBritains, as a Monumental Sepulcher (to remain to perpetuity)ofthe vertue and manhood of Ambrofius Aurelianus, who took upon him the Imperial purple Robe of Britain in the Declension of the Roman Empire, fuccoured his languifhing Country, and by the aid of that war-like Arthur repreffed the furious rage of the Enemy, vanquishing powerful Armies, and imthe end, in the laſt battle fought on this Plain, loft his life.

Thefecond to Hilef, according as the Sea fetcheth a compaſs to the MountainAthran in the North-east part ofStrivelin. The thirdfrom Hilefto Dee.The fourth from Dee to the River Spe. The fifth from the Spe to theMountain Brunalban. The fixth Mures and Roß. And the Seventh theKingdom of Argathel, which is the border of the Scots.But the Kingdom at prefent, according to the habitation of the people, Modern diinay be divided into Highland-men and Lowland-men; or into the Nor- vifion, andthern and Southern parts. Thepeople of the former, live either on the tants.Pp 2WeſternIts Inhabi-292 SCOTLAND.Its extent.Its name.·Weſtern Coaſt, and are very rude, having muchof the nature, disposition,Speech, and habit of the Tories, or wild Irish; or in the out Ifles, and are utterly barbarous. The Low-landers, as borderingon England, have muchof the difpofition, civility, language, and habit of the English , and areſuppoſed to be defcended from the Saxons; which is confirmed by theHighlanders, who are the true Scoti, and are fuppofed to defcend fromthe Scythians, who with the Getes infefting Ireland, left their Iffue behind them .This Kingdom is very fpacious, extending it ſelf from North to Southabout 250 miles in length; and in breadth, wherebroadeſt, about 150;but contracting it felf narrower andnarrower as it approaches its extreamNorthern limits, as doth appearby the Mapp.It is faid to have been called Scotia from Scoti, Scitti, or Scythia peopleof Germany, over whofe Northern limits the name Scythia did extend; although there be many that will have it to be fo called,from Scota daughterto an Egyptian Pharaoh.Itsfertility Although this Kingdom is lefs fertile then England, and its fruits not foand commo- plentiful, nor fo pleafing to the palate, (occafioned through the coldness dities. of the Clime, ) yet is it found to have great plenty of cattle, though butfmall; and for fifb andfowl an innumerable quantity , amongſt which isa fowlcalled the Soland- Geefe, which in many places are taken in verygreat plenty, and are found very profitable to the Inhabitants, not onlyfor their fleb to eat, but for their feathers and oyl. Their chief commodities are courfe cloths , freezes, lead, oar, feathers, fea-coal, allom, iron, faltSalt-peter, linnen-cloth, train-oyl, hopps, wood, alablafter, fome hides,andtalIts Inhabitants.Nobility andGentry of Scotland.TheirSeffionsof Parliament.Things worlow, &c.The Inhabitants (eſpecially thofe Southernly) are of a good feature ,ftrong of body, very hardy, courageous, and fit for Martial affairs; andtheir Nobility and Gentry which are of feveral degrees, as Dukes, Marqueffes, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, Knights, Efquires , and Gentlemen , aregenerally very ingenuous, and accompliſhedmen in all civil knowledge.This Kingdom, like unto England, confifteth of a King, Nobility, Gentry, and Commons, and thefe with the Lords Spiritual, affemble together inParliament, as often as they are called together byWrit from the King:And by reafon of his Majefties refidence in England, fothat he is not hereat their Seffions of Parliament, he conftituteth and fendeth one to act ashis Vice-Roy, who is commonly called Lord Commiffioner, and fuch at prefent is the Right Noble John Duke of Lotherdale, &c.Amongst the things worthyof note in this Kingdom for Antiquity, fathy of note. mous was that Fortification drawn fromAbercorne upon Edenborough Frithunto Alcluyd, now called Dunbritton, opening upon the Weſt Sea, where(as Speed noteth) Julius Agricola fet the limits of the Roman Empire, paſtwhich, according to Tacitus, there were no other bounds of Britain to befought for. And here the fecond Legion of Augufta, and the twentiethof Victrix built a part of the wall; as alfo an ancient coped Monumentof an high and round compass, which according to the opinions of fome,was a Temple confecrated to the God Terminus; but others there be thatwillhave it to be a Trophey raiſed by Caraufius, who fortified this wall withfeven Gaftles.CaledonianWood.Here began that Wood Caledonia, which nameTacitus attributeth to allthat trackof Ground which lyeth Northward beyond Grahames Dike, orthe wall of Antonius Pius, which Ptolomy divideth intó feveral Nationsas the Caledonii, Vacomagi, Epidii,&c. who are all known to the Romansby the general name of the Pits, from their painting themselves.

Feftus Avienus calleth thisIfland Sacram Infulam, the Holy Ifland, for that the people are foon drawnthereunto, witness the many Saints that it hath produced.If youwill take for truth what the Irish Hiftorians report , this Ifland Ireland longhath been exceeding long inhabited; foraccording to Cambden, ' tis faid ago inhabitedthat it was poffeffed by Cæfarea, Niece to Noah before the floud: thatBartholanus a Scythian arrived here near 300 years after the Deluge; that..many years after Nemethus, with his four Sons, arived here, but was foonforced hence by the Gyant-like fort of people of the Nimrods race hereinhabiting; that after this the five Grecians feized this Ifland; and thatfoon after (beingabout the time of the Iraelites departure out of Ægypt)Gaothel, withhis Wife Scota daughter to Pharaoh King of Ægypt, landedhere, and called the Ifland Scotia from his Wives name. And further, theBritish Historyfaith that fome Ages after Hiberus, Hermion, Euer; and Erimon, Sons of Milefius King of Spain , by permiffion of Gurguntius theBritish King, here planted Colonies after that the Country had been wafted by a Peftilence, and from the eldeſt Son was called Hibernia. Noris it much to be doubted, but that the Britains fetled themselves here, feeing there is fo great affinity betwixt them and the Irish in their natures';difpofitions, and fpeech.This Ifland conteins in length about 240 miles, and in breadth about Its Extent,120; ' tis fcituate under the tenth and twelfth Climates, the longeſt day Scituation.makingabout 16 hours; It is a near Neighbour to Scotland, from whichit is feparated by an Iftmus of about ſeven miles; but England far moreremote, being from Dublin its Metropolitan City, to Holy-land in the Inleof Anglesey, (the ufual place for taking of landing) about 50.It is an Ifland of great ftrength, as well by Nature as Art, byreafon ofIts ftrength,its fcituation in ſuch tempeftious and dangerous Seas, and the ſeveral Fortifications and Caftles that the English have built fince they became Maſtersthereof.dities.It is a Country well watered, having ſeveral great Rivers, the chief a- Its chief Rimongſt whichare thofe of Shannon, being about 60 miles navigable, and vers .after its courſe of about 200 miles loofeth it felf into the Western Ocean.Liff, Showre, Awidaff, Slanie, and Sione,&c. And befides theſe Rivers thereare feveral LakesorLoughs,amongst which that of moftnote is Lough-Erne,about 30 miles in length, and 15 in breadth, in which are ſeveral finall Isles.The commodities that this Ifland affordeth, are great abundance of cattle, Its commohides, tallow, cheese, wool, of whichthey make courfe cloth, frizes,rugs, mantles, & c.allo furrs pipe-ftaves, falt,hemp,linnen-cloth, honey, and wax; and itsSeas likewife afford great plenty of cod-fifb, herrings, pilchards, oyſters, &c.Its native Inhabitants were extreamly rude andbarbarous,they madeufe Its inhabiof women in common, without any difference of other mens Wives; they tants.were very bold, courageous andgreedy of honour, conftant in love, impatient ofinjuries, ofan eafte belief, much addicted to fantaſtical conceits, as holding itominous to give their neighbours fire ona May- day,with many the likefooleries; theyare much inclined to fuperftitious Idolatry as worshipping theMoonafter her change; about their Childrens necks they hung the beginningof St.Johns Gospel, a piece ofWolves-skin, or a crookednayl of a horse-fboo,whichthey thoughtpreferved them from danger;the hoofs ofdead herfes theyheld facred, with many fuch like ridiculous Fancies. They accountedEafe1IRELAND.304TheChriftianFaithfirftplantedbySt.PatrickLind.Eafe and Idleness their greateſt liberty andriches, not coveting worldly poffeffions, contenting themfelves with mean Cottages, Hovels, or Cabens; norwerethey profufe in their apparel ordyet, being well fatisfied if theyhadwherewithto keep themwarm, and to fill their bellys, their chieffood being herbs, roots, butter, milk, oat-meal, and the like. For their dying,theyhired women to mourn, who expoftulated why they would dye , tellingthem that they had fuch and fuch things; and the Corps were accompaniedto the Grave with howlings, clapping of hands, and fuch like forrowfulactions. But manyof thefe ridiculous and abfurd cuſtoms, fince the Englifh are fet led amongst them , are forgotten.The Chriftian Faith was here first planted by St. Patrick; this Patrick(according to Writers) was the Son of Calphurus, by St. Martins Sifter ,and born at Glafco in Scotland; whoin his Youth was taken Captive bytheIrifh Pirates , and fold for fix years as a flave in themeaneft condition toMachuain; yet in this dejected condition he much défired the converfionof this Nationfromtheir extream idolatrous wayes, to the true ferving ofthe living God, infomuch that he dreamed, that the unborn Babes cryedunto him forbaptifm; and being at length redeemed from his bondage, bya piece of Gold whichhe found inthe field, ( that was rooted up byfomeSwine) he left the Ifle: but ftill having his thoughts on thefe people, inhis aged years he again returned, (and in better ftate then before) preached the Gospel, converted the people, became Bishop of Armagh; and whendead, was received or canonized as their Saint.The English Thefe Irifb having civil diffentions amongst them, prompted the Eng- become Ma- fters of re. Lifb in the Reign of King Henry the Second, to attempt the Conqueft ofthis Kingdom, who in Anno Dom. 1172. landed his Army there , and obteined the Regal Dominion thereof, whichbeing paffed over untohim bytheir Nobles and Commonalty, their Charter fo figned, was tranfmittedto Rome, and was confirmed bya Patent of Pope Hadrian, by a ringdelivered untohim in token of his invefture; and was farther confirmed bythe authority of certain Provincial Synods: and ever fince that time ithath remained in the poffeffions of the Kings of England.ment of Ire- land.The Tempó- TheTemporal Government, fince the English became Mafters thereof,ral Govern hath most commonly been by oneSupream Officerfent over bytheKings ofEngland, and called Lord Deputy, or Lord Lieutenant, who for Majeſty,State, andPower, is not inferiour to any Vice- Roy in Chriſtendome; living in great grandure, and having ample and Royal Power and Authority granted unto him; and as Affiftant unto him in fo weighty a concern,he hath his Privy Councel, beinga ſelect number of Honorable and prudentperfons chofen out of the Nobility, Clergy, and Capital Officers of State: fortheir Degrees of Honour and Offices of State, they arethe fame with thoſe ofEngland, already treated of. The prefent Lord Lieutenant is the RightNoble his Excellency Arthur Capell, Earl of Effex, Viſcount Maldon, Baron Capell of Hadham, &c.Its Laws andCourts of The Laws of this Kingdom have correſpondency with thoſe of England, and have likewife there feveral Courts ofJudicature, as the Chancery,Judicature. Common- Pleas, Kings-Bench , Exchequer , &c. but above all the HighCourt of Parliament. There are likewife in each County Juftices of thePeace, for the quiet governing and well ordering the Inhabitants, as inEngland.The Archbishops andBishops..As tothe Ecclefiaftical Government of this Kingdom, it is committed tothe care of four Arch-bishops, under whom are divers Suffragan Bishops;whofe names are as followeth.

And for its bounds it hath onthe Weft theProvince of Connaugh; on the North that of Leimfter; and on the Eaft andSouth the Sea which reguards England, from which (that is from Holy-headin the Isle of Anglefey) it is diftant about 50 miles; a Seavery dangerousfor Saylers, by reafon of the Flats and Shallows that lye over againft Holypoint , whichare called the Grounds.
