maketh
mention
of
a
certaine
fortresse
,
erected
by
Gratian
against
the
Germaines
,
not
farre
from
Basile

Whereby
it
may
appeare
,
that
in
Germany
was
a
cittie
so
called
before
Gratians
time
.
Concerning
the
name
thereof
,
some
write
(

without
either
proof
or
authoritie
)
that
it
was
deriued
Annianus

is
a
beautifull
and

citie

of
an
halfe
Moone
,
on
the
banke

,
almost
in
the
verie
center
of
Franconia
.
Concerning
the
first
originall
&
foundation
of
this
cittie
,
the
most
learned
antiquaries
set
nothing
downe
for
certaine
.
Some
say
,
that
the
Grecians
at
their
returne
from
Troy
being
wearied
with
their
long
and
tedious
wandring
in
the
Ocean
,
arriued
at
last
neere
to
the
mouth
of
the
Rheine
,
searching
the
secrets
of
which
riuer
,
they
at
last
entred
the
Meine
,
and
came
vnto
this
place
where
they
erected
a
Cittie
;
which
from
their
God
Herebus
(
to
whome
they
there
offered
sacrifice
)
they
named
Herebipolis
:
but
this
opinion
Tacitus
reiecteth
,
as
vaine
and
fabulous
.
Whensoeuer
therefore
,
or
by
whom
soeuer
this
citie
first
was
founded
,
this
much
we
find
for
certaine
,
that
it
was
then
a
cittie
,
when
that
holy
and
learned
father
S.
Khilian
,
conuerted
the
Franconians
to
the
Christian
faith
,
Concerning
the
etimologie
of
the
name
thereof
,
there
are
sundry
opinions
.
It
was
called
of
the
ancient
inhabitantes
Wirtsburge
:
which
Iohannes
Gallicus
(
in
certaine
Hymnes
and
Sonets
of
S.
Khilian
,
by
himselfe
set
forth
about
the
yeare
1150.

good
Latine
worde

equiuocation
of

the
one
of
them

an
hearbe

,
the
other

from
which
men
thinke
the
cittie
rather
to
haue
taken
his

,
that
this

may
more
iustly
glory
in
her
antiquitie
,
then
in
any
other
in

was

by

that

Trier
was
in

a

For
this
cause
also
we
cannot
learne
who
first
instituted
the
Archiepiscopall
dignity
in
this

,
being
one
of
the
greatest
and
most
ancient
Archbishoprickes
of

.
That
all
studies
vniuersally
did
in
this
citie
flourish
in
the
time
of
Gratian
the
Emperour
,
appeareth
manifestly
by
an
epistle
,
written
from
the
saide
Emperour
to
Antonius
,
Prefect
and
Regent
of
Gaule
,
where
hauing
set
down
donations
of
prouision
for
sundry
Vniuersities
,
hee
allotted
greater
proportion
to
Tryer
,
then
to
any
of
the
rest
,
because
therein
remained
a
greater
number
of
students
and
professors
.
Which
Vniuersity
being
by
the
Vicissitude
and
iniury
of
time
exceedingly
decayed
,
was
by
the
reuerend
Iohannes
de
Lapide
,
Iacobus
ab
Else
,
and
Iobannes
Hugo
,
late
Archbishops
thereof
againe
restored
,
who
therein
placed
the
Iesuites
,
which
with
great
labour
,
industry
and
diligence
,
doe
there
professe
the
Arts.
The
manners
of
the
inhabitantes
are
for
the
most
parte
sower
and

,
their
complexion
inclining
to
Melancholy
,
whereof

writeth
among

in

of

not

himselfe
from
laughter

shee
seeming

at

shee
forthwith
cast
other
three

with
a
pleasant

asked
the

would

wondring
from
whence

beganne
now
more
seriously
to

her
those

at
no

shee
at

demanded

forthwith
commanded
that

with

consenting
opinion
agree

that

first
founded
,
when

they

The
originall
of

to

Florence
.
FLorence
is
a
strong
and
beautifull
cittie
in
Hetruria
,
sited
in
a
play
n
betwixt
the
foot
of
a
mountaine
,
and
the
riuer
Arno
:
It
was
first
begunne
by
the
people
of
Fiesole
,
&
enlarged
afterwardes
by
the
Romaine
Colonies
.
It
had
then
to
name
Armina
,
and
from
whence
this
name
of
Florence
should
bee
deriued
,
diuers
men
doe
diuersly
hold
opinion
.
Some
suppose
it
to
bee
so
called
from
Florino
,
one
of
the
chiefe
of
the
Colonie
.
Others
will
not
consent
that
it
was
called
Florentia
at
the
beginning
,
but
Fluentia
,
because
of
the
riuer
Arno
,
flowing
neere
the
walles
thereof
:
and
they
alledge
the
authoritie
of
Pl●●●●
,
where
he
saith
,
that
the
people
Fluentini
be
neere
vnto
Arno
:
which
may
be
false
,
saith
Machiauel
the
Florentine
,
because
Plinie
maketh
mention
where
the
Florentines
were
seated
,
not
how
they
were
called
:
and
that
word
Fluentum
must
needes
be
corrupted
,
because
Frontinus
and
Cornelius
Tac●tus
(
who
wrote
almost
in
the
time
of
Plinic
)
doe
call
the
Towne
Florentia
,
and
the
people
Florentini
,
saying
,
that
long
since
in
the
time
of
Tiberius
they
were
gouerned
according
to
the
custome
of
other
citties
in
Italie
.
Cornelius
also
reporteth
that
the
Florentines
had
sent
Embassadors
vnto
the
Emperour
,
praying
that
the
waters
of
the
Chiane
might
not
descend
vppon
their
countrey
.
It
seemeth
not
then
to
stand
with
reason
,
that
the
citie
should
at
one
time
haue
two
names
:
It
is
therefore
most
credible
,
that
it
was
alwaies
called
Florentia
.
For
what
cause
soeuer
it
was
so
named
,
or
for
what
cause
soeuer
it
had
the
beginning
,
most
sure
it
is
,
that
vnder
the
Empire
of
Rome
,
it
had
the
first
foundation
,
&
in
the
raigne
of
the
first
Emperors
,
writers
did
make
mention
thereof
.
Long
time
it
continued
base
and
obscure
,
not
being
able
to
doe
any
thing
worthy
of
memorie
,
for
the
authoritie
of
them
vnto
whome
they
were
subiect
,
but
being
at
length
wearie
of
that
yoke
,
in
the
yeare
1010.
on
the
day
of
Saint
Romulus
(
a
solemne
feast
with
the
Fiesolan
)
they
surprised
Fiesole
,
&
demolished
the
same
.
Afterward
all
Italie
being
deuided
into
open
factions
betweene
the
Popes
and
Emperors
,
they
alwaies
held

enuironed

iniuries

inflicted

it
remaineth

yet
hath
it
in

age
beene
a
place
much
renowned
for
warlike
discipline
,
and
most
feared
of
her
neighbouring
prouinces
:
as
appeareth
by

seuerall
conquestes

Pisans
atchieued
,
when
by
force
of
armes
they
endeuoured
to
enlarge
&
propagate
the
bounds
of
their
dominion
.
In

yeare

they
brought

Afterwardes
comming
from

hands
of

vnto
another
,
it
was
sold
to

Vicount
of

Galeace
solde
it
to
the
Florentines
:
to
whose
proud
and
tirannizing
gouernment
the
Pisans
not
brooking
to
bee
subiected
,
by
a
seditious
&
rebellious
attempt
,
expulsed
them
,
&
recouered
their
pristine
libertie
:
which
they
not
long
enioyed
:
for
in
short
time
after
the
Florentines
againe
did
conquere
them
,

made
them
slauishly
subiect

seruile
condition

sundrie
Ioannes

:

the

in

called

Ogyges

But
(

commeth
to
passe
,
that
words
by
long
continuance
and
custome
are
corrupted
)
from
Bytogyges
they
were
called
Bituriges
.
Others
there
are
that
say
it
was
called
Byturis
,
quasi
Biturris
,
from
two
ancient
towers
,
which
they
affirme
to
haue
beene
in
this
citie
erected
by
two
brethren
,
which
there
together
raigned

one
of

towers

the

Oxford

Oxsorde
is
a
fayre
and
beautifull
citty
,
whose
situation
is
in
a
playne
Champion
,
neare
to
the
side
of
the
Thames
,
being
enuironed
with
many
pleasing
groues
&
wooddy
mountains
:
from
whence
(
as
some
writers
affirme
)
it
was
in
times
passed
named
Bellositum
:
concerning
the
Etymologye
of
the
name
thereof
,
there
are
sondry
opinions
.
Lelandus
imagineth
,
that
it
first
was
called
Ouseforde
,
from
the
riuer
Ouse
,
in
Latine
Isis
:
but
the
most
true
and
probable
coniecture
is
,
that
it
was
named
of
the
Saxons
Oxenford
,
in
the
same
sense
that
the
Grecians
named
their
Bosphoros
,
and
the
Germans
Ochensfurt
,
a
cittie
standing
at
this
day
on
the

for
which
cause
it

this
day
of
the
auncient
Brittaines
called
in
their
language
Rhyddichen
.
We
find
written
in
our
chronicles
,
that
this
cittie
was
in
the
time
of
the
Brittaines
,
the
first
inhabitantes
of
this
Iland
,
consecrated
vnto
the
Muses
:
whose
names
and
memorie
were
afterwarde
,
during
the
furie
of
the
Saxon
warres
therein
,
vtterly
extinguished
,

obscured

yeares
after
our
Sauiours
incarnation
,
Alfred
a
holy
and
religious
Saxon
king
,
restored
againe
the
Muses
to
their
former
dignity
,
which
had
beene
thence
so
long
exiled
:
who
the
better
to
encourage
their
abode
therein
,
caused
three
colledges
to
bee
erected
:
one
for
Grammarians
,
another
for
Philosophers
,
and
a
thirde
for
professors
of
Diuinity

this
felicity
not

:
for
the
Danes
in

time
of
Ethelred
consuming
all
with
fire

sworde
,
burned
a

onely
laborius
and
painefull
industry
,
it

recouered
the

at

it

in

after
departed
some
to
Reading
,

some
to
Cambridge
for
certaine
iniutious
wronges
offered
vnto
them
by
the
Cittizens
,
which
dissention
being
not
long
after
againe
appeased
,
they
all
returned
,
others
affirme
the
cause
of
this
secession
to
haue
beene
because
the
king
caused
three
students
to
be
apprehended
in
their
colledges
,
&
presently
hanged
,
for
the
murther
of

certaine
woman

fact
they
all
were

Vnto

fro

By

Vnto

heretoforne
,
Cambridge
was

long
ere

Fiue

.
In
this
matter
ye
get
no
more
of
me
,
Rehearse
I
will
no
more
at
this
time
,
These
remembrances
haue
great
authority
,
To
be
preferd
of
long
antiquitie
,
For
which
by
record
all
clearkes
saine
the
same
,
Ofheresie
Cambridge
bare
neuer
blame
.
But
sundry
other
Historiographers
there
are
,
which
(
imagining
this
antiquitie
to
be
somewhat
too
far
fetched
)
affirme
,
that
the
vniuersitie
of
Cambridge
was
long
since
erected
in
the
time
of
Sigebert
king
of
England
,
sixe
hundred
and
thirtie
yeares
after
our
Sauiors
incarnation
.
Moreouer
they
auerre
,
that
the
name
of
this
cittie
was
not
deriued
from
that
Cantaber
,
but
rather
from
a
bridge
,
builded
ouer
the
riuer
Came
passing
by
the
towne
.
Which
opinion
seemeth
not
absurd
,
because
this
riuer
being
in
former
ages
knowne
by
the
name
of
Grant
:
old
writers
affirme
that
the
cittie
was
in
the
Saxon
tongue
commonly
called
Grantbridge
.
Whensoeuer
this
cittie
first
was
founded
,
or
by
whom
soeuer
the
vniuersitie
was
first
erected
(
which
matter
I
will
referre
to
the
discussion
of
more
learned
antiquaries
,
since
mine
intent
is
onely
to
set
downe
such
schooles
&
colledges
,
as
the

at

)
most
certainely
true
it
is
,
for
the
antiquitie
and
worthinesse
thereof
,
it
may
at
this

worthily
contend
with
the
most
ancient

of
