The
Preface
to
the
ensuing
Catalogue
of
Dukes
,
Marquesses
,
and
Earles
.
THe
Kings
of
England
as
they
are
the
fountaine
of
all
authority
and
jurisdiction
in
their
owne
Dominions
:
so
are
they
the
fountaine
also
of
all
civill
honour
;
which
they
dispose
of
and
dispence
,
as
to
them
seemes
best
.
Kings
have
so
much
of
God
in
them
,
whose
Deputies
they
are
on
earth
,
as
many
times
where
they
finde
merit
and
desert
,
to
raise
the
poore
out
of
the
dust
,
that
they
may
set
them
with
the
Princes
,
even
with
the
Princes
of
their
people
.
Now
for
their
honourary
attributes
,
which
by
our
Kings
have
beene
conferred
upon
their
Subjects
;
the
ancientest
are
those
of
Earle
and
Baron
:
the
Kings
of
England
,
of
the
Norman
race
,
not
giving
unto
any
the
stile
of
Duke
,
untill
that
Edw.
the
third
,
created
his
sonne
Edward
the
black
Prince
,
Duke
of
Cornwall
,
Anno
1336.
As
for
the
title
of
Marquesse
,
that
was
made
honourary
by
King
Richard
the
second
,
who
first
created
his
great
favourite
,
Robert
de
Ve●e
,
then
Earle
of
Oxford
,
Marquesse
of
Dublyn
:
as
afterwards
he
made
his
Cosen
German
,
Iohn
de
Baufort
,
one
of
the
sonnes
of
Iohn
of
Gaunt
,
by
Katherine
Swinfort
,
then
Earle
of
Somerset
,
the
first
Marquesse
Dorset
.
But
that
of
Earles
hath
beene
as
ancient
in
this
Kingdome
,
as
the
line
of
Normandy
:
William
the
Conquerer
advancing
many
to
that
honour
at
his
first
entrance
on
this
State
,
both
to
reward
them
for
their
service
,
and
oblige
them
to
him
.
Of
which
ranke
were
the
Earles
of
Arundell
,
Chester
,
Cornwall
,
Kent
,
Oxford
,
with
some
others
,
Anno
1067.
being
the
next
yeere
after
he
attained
the
Kingdome
.
Which
with
the
other
Earles
of
ancient
creation
,
were
commonly
endowed
de
tertio
denario
placitorum
Comitatus
,
with
the
third
penny
of
the
pleas
of
that
County
whereof
they
were
Earles
:
the
other
two
parts
being
accompted
by
the
Sheriffe
(
the
Vice-Comes
)
into
the
Exchequer
,
for
the
Kings
use
.
And
though
we
mean
to
go
no
lower
in
our
following
Catalogue
,
then
the
stile
of
Earle
;
yet
by
the
way
we
may
take
notice
,
that
Viscount
here
became
an
honourary
title
in
the
time
of
K.
H.
6.
who
in
the
18.
of
his
raigne
advanced
Sir
Iohn
Beaumont
unto
that
honour
,
and
gave
him
place
above
all
Barons
,
as
Richard
2.
gave
his
new
Marquesses
precedencie
before
all
Earles
.
Now
at
the
ennobling
of
deserving
persons
into
these
high
dignities
,
it
is
,
and
hath
beene
of
later
times
the
custome
of
the
Kings
of
England
,
to
give
unto
them
some
set
pension
for
the
support
of
their
estate
:
which
is
now
generally
brought
unto
this
proportion
,
that
Viscounts
have
a
fee
of
20.
markes
,
Earles
of
20.
li.
Marquesses
of
40.
markes
,
and
Dukes
of
40.
li.
assigned
unto
them
,
out
of
some
part
or
other
of
the
Kings
revenues
.
Which
bounty
I
observe
not
to
have
beene
used
in
the
creation
of
a
Baron
,
excepting
onely
that
it
pleased
his
sacred
Majesty
now
being
,
when
hee
created
the
right
honourable
Montjoy
Blount
(
now
Earle
of
Newport
)
L.
Montjoy
of
Thurle●●on
,
in
the
County
of
Darby
,
to
give
unto
him
and
his
heires
,
a
fee
of
20.
markes
per
annum
:
which
I
note
here
,
by
reason
of
the
singularity
and
rarenesse
of
it
.
Nor
have
the
Kings
of
England
beene
accustomed
to
frame
new
honourary
titles
,
for
the
advancement
of
those
men
which
are
dear
unto
them
:
but
to
preferre
them
before
others
of
the
same
honourary
ranke
and
order
.
Henry
the
sixth
bearing
especiall
affection
unto
Henry
Beauchamp
,
Earle
of
Warwick
,
first
made
him
the
prime
Earle
of
England
,
or
Praecomes
Angliae
.
And
when
he
after
made
him
Duke
of
Warwick
,
hee
ordered
him
to
have
precedencie
,
next
after
the
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
and
before
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
The
same
King
Henry
making
his
halfe-brother
Edmund
of
Hadham
,
Earle
of
Richmond
,
gave
him
the
place
above
all
Earles
,
and
next
of
all
unto
the
Dukes
.
Thus
did
King
Iames
of
blessed
memory
conferre
upon
the
Earle
of
Nortingham
,
(
on
his
surrendry
of
the
place
and
Office
of
Lord
Admirall
)
the
seniority
and
precedencie
of
the
Mowbraies
,
(
out
of
which
house
he
was
extracted
)
during
the
life
of
the
said
Earle
.
And
thus
his
sacred
Majesty
now
being
,
when
he
created
the
right
honourable
the
Viscount
Wallingford
,
Earle
of
Banbur●
▪
gave
him
precedencie
before
all
Earles
,
created
since
his
Majesties
happy
comming
to
the
Crowne
.
And
in
the
Patent
of
creation
of
the
right
honourable
the
Lord
M
〈…〉
joy
,
3.
Can
there
was
a
clause
of
precedencie
inserted
,
before
all
the
Barons
of
●hat
yeere
,
by
which
hee
forthwith
had
the
place
both
of
the
Lord
Craven
,
and
the
Lord
Falconbriage
,
though
created
before
him
.
So
absolute
a
power
have
our
English
Monarchs
in
the
dispensing
of
their
honours
,
and
marshalling
those
persons
whom
they
have
advanced
to
these
high
dignities
.
As
for
the
Female
sex
,
they
have
no
reason
to
complaine
that
they
have
beene
neglected
or
omitted
in
the
distributing
of
these
honourary
rewards
and
dignities
:
some
of
them
having
had
the
happinesse
to
taste
the
bounty
of
the
Prince
in
the
highest
honours
.
For
thus
the
Lady
Margaret
de
Brotherton
,
daughter
of
Thomas
of
Brotherton
,
Earle
of
Norfolke
,
was
by
King
Richard
the
second
,
made
Dutchesse
of
Norfolke
,
Anno
1398.
And
thus
the
Lady
Anne
Bullen
,
daughter
of
Thomas
Earle
of
Wilts
,
was
by
King
Henry
8.
made
Marchionesse
of
Pembroke
,
Anno
1532.
as
was
the
Lady
Margaret
,
daughter
of
George
D.
of
Clarence
,
created
Countesse
of
Salisbury
by
the
same
King
Henry
;
Anno
1514.
Thus
also
the
Lady
Elizabeth
Einch
,
being
by
King
Iames
created
Viscountesse
Maidstone
,
was
by
our
gracious
Soveraigne
Lord
now
being
,
created
Countesse
of
Winchelsey
,
Anno
1628.
the
dignity
entailed
on
the
heires
males
of
her
body
begotten
.
And
finally
,
thus
was
the
Lady
Elizabeth
Richardson
,
wife
of
Sir
Thomas
Richardson
Lord
Chiefe
Justice
,
created
Baronesse
Cramont
,
by
his
Majesty
now
reigning
not
to
say
any
thing
of
the
Lady
Mary
Fane
Baronesse
Despencer
,
or
of
the
Lady
Margaret
Lennard
,
Baronesse
Dacres
of
the
South
;
being
restitutions
rather
then
creations
.
Now
for
the
method
which
I
am
to
use
in
this
following
Catalogue
,
it
shall
be
after
the
most
naturall
of
the
Alphabet
;
as
being
of
most
ease
and
speediest
use
in
finding
what
we
have
a
minde
to
looke
for
.
And
in
the
same
I
shall
lay
downe
the
just
successions
of
and
in
each
severall
title
,
(
premising
first
a
brief
description
of
the
place
denominating
)
together
with
the
yeere
of
Christs
nativity
,
wherein
each
severall
Duke
,
Earle
,
or
Marquesse
either
succeeded
in
the
place
,
or
was
advanced
unto
the
same
.
I
also
shall
report
in
briefe
,
on
what
pretext
of
bloud
such
and
such
men
attained
those
honours
which
they
have
enjoyed
;
If
any
neernesse
or
descent
of
blood
was
pretended
by
them
:
and
where
a
family
breakes
off
,
and
a
new
comes
in
,
that
I
have
marked
with
a
few
crosses
thus
.
✚
✚
✚
✚
I
have
observed
also
who
and
how
many
of
each
title
have
managed
any
of
the
great
and
honourary
Offices
in
the
Common-wealth
:
as
those
of
Lord
high
Steward
,
Lord
high
Chamberlaine
,
Lord
Constable
,
Lord
Admirall
;
Lord
Chancellour
,
Lord
Treasurer
,
Lord
Chiefe
Justice
,
or
Lord
Privie
Seale
;
together
with
the
Lord
Steward
,
and
Lord
Chamberlaine
of
his
Majesties
houshold
,
and
the
LL.
Presidents
of
Yorke
and
Wates
,
and
Chancellours
of
either
of
the
Universities
.
Such
of
them
as
have
had
the
honour
to
be
admitted
into
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
I
have
noted
with
this
little
Asterisme
*
.
And
all
this
I
have
done
with
as
much
brevity
as
was
possible
;
professing
nothing
in
this
place
but
a
Nomenclator
;
a
bare
and
naked
Catalogue
of
names
and
honours
,
for
the
more
easie
understanding
of
our
English
History
,
which
was
the
matter
which
first
moved
me
to
compose
these
Tables
.
As
for
the
order
of
precedencie
of
the
men
themselves
,
that
are
thus
dignified
and
advanced
,
as
now
they
stand
;
that
is
to
be
accounted
from
and
by
the
seniority
of
their
creations
in
their
severall
series
:
save
that
a
course
was
tooke
in
Parliament
,
31.
H.
8.
c.
10.
for
placing
those
above
the
rest
,
which
were
entrusted
with
the
greatest
Offices
of
State
and
Court.
As
,
viz.
that
of
the
Lord
Chancellour
,
or
Lord
Keeper
,
Lord
Treasurer
,
Lord
President
,
Lord
Privie
Seale
,
Lord
Constable
,
Lord
high
Chamberlaine
,
Lord
Admirall
,
Lord
Marshall
,
together
with
the
Lord
Steward
,
and
Lord
Chamberlaine
of
his
Majesties
houshold
.
Which
manner
of
precedencie
being
it
is
personall
,
as
unto
the
men
,
and
hath
no
reference
to
their
place
and
titles
,
varieth
and
changeth
with
the
times
,
according
as
they
are
in
trust
and
favour
with
their
Lord
and
Soveraigne
.
But
for
the
places
which
have
given
name
and
title
to
Dukes
,
Marquesses
,
or
Earles
;
and
for
the
men
that
have
beene
honoured
with
those
titles
,
they
are
these
that
follow
:
taking
along
such
Lords
,
and
Viscounts
,
as
have
beene
dignified
with
and
by
the
selfe-same
titles
,
and
no
more
but
those
.
Saint
Albans
.
S.
Albans
is
the
fairest
and
the
goodliest
town
in
the
County
of
Hertford
.
It
arose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Verulamium
,
a
towne
more
strong
and
ancient
farre
,
(
as
being
the
strongest
Fort
of
all
the
Britaines
,
in
the
time
of
Caesar
)
though
not
halfe
so
beautifull
.
It
took
both
name
,
original
,
&
Grandour
,
from
Alban
,
once
a
Citizen
of
Verulamium
:
who
suffering
Martyrdome
for
the
faith
of
Christ
,
during
the
persecution
of
Dioclesian
;
had
first
a
faire
Church
built
in
memoriall
of
him
,
in
that
very
place
:
or
if
you
will
,
Ecclesia

atque

condigna
,
in
the
Authors
language
.
(

)
But
this
Church
and
towne
of
Verulam
being
both
destroyed
,
in
those
fierce
warres
,
which
were
betweene
the
Saxons
and
the
Britains
,
Offa
the
great
and
puissant
K.
of
the
Mercians
,
built
not
farre
off
from
the
old
seate
,
a
Monastery
to
the
honour
of
Saint
Alban
;
endowed
it
with
a
great
revenue
,
and
many
goodly
priviledges
,
as
well
Ecclesiasticall
as
Temporall
.
This
in
short
time
,
improved
the
Monastery
into
a
towne
:
the
Abbat
in
regard
of
his
great
possessions
,
and
jurisdiction
correspondent
,
drawing
no
ordinary
confluence
of
all
sorts
of
people
.
Pope
Adrian
,
borne
at
Abbats-Langley
,
about
five
miles
off
,
added
this
honour
to
the
place
,
that
as
Saint
Alban
was
the
first
Martyr
of
the
English
nation
:
so
should
the
Abbat
have
precedencie
of
all
English
Abbats
.

Anglesey

ANglesey
is
an
Iland
of
North-Wales
,
situate
over
against
Carnarvonshire
,
from
which
it
is
divided
by
a
narrow
straight
:
called
in
the
Latines
Mona
,
by
the
Britains
Mon
;
but
being
conquered
by
the
English
,
obtained
the
name
of
Anglesey
,
as
one
would
say
,
the
Iland
of
the
English-men
.
It
is
exceeding
fruitfull
both
in
corne
and
cattell
,
from
whence
the
Welch
are
liberally

both
:
And
therefore
it
is
said
proverbially
,
Mon

,
that
Anglesey
is
the
mother
of
Wales
.
It

ARundell
is
the
name
of
an
ancient
towne
and
Castle
in
the
County
of
Sussex
,
pleasantly
seated
neare
the
river
of
Arun
:
whence
it
was
called
Arundale
,
or
Aruntina
vallis
,
in
some
Latine
Authors
.
The
Castle
of
great
fame
and
strength
;
but
farre
more
famous
for
the
Lords
and
Earles
therof
,
then
the
strength
or
beauty
.
A
place
in
this
farre
different
from
the
rest

BAnbury
is
a
towne
in
Oxfordshire
,
the
second
both
for
wealth
and
beauty
in
all
that
County
:
Most
famous
in
our
common
Chronicles
,
for
the
great
battell
there-by
fought
betweene
the
two
great
houses
of
Lancaster
and
Yorke
:
in
which
the
victory
fell
to
the
Eare
of
Warwick
,
then
chiefe
of
the
Lancastrian
party
,
who
forthwith
tooke
King
Edward
prisoner
(
of
that
name
the
fourth
)
now
forlorne
and
hopelesse
.
It
was
not

much
wasted
by
a
devouring
fire
,
but
very
well
repaired
and
beautified
;
and
still
is
as
it
hath
beene
anciently
,
case●
conficiendo

,
as

notes
it
,
a
towne
much
famed
for
the
best
and
most
delicate
sort
of
Cheeses
.

BAthe
,
is
the
fairest
,
and
the
principall
City
in
all
Somersetshire
,
seated
in
a
very
low
Plaine
,
and
round
about
environed
with
hils
very
high
and
sleepe
:
from
whence
come
many
rivulets
and
fresh-water
springs
,
to
the
great
commodity
of
the
people
.
But
that
which
brings
most
wealth
unto
the
place
,
are
not
the
waters
from
without
,
but
those
waters
which
are
within
;
sending
up
from
them
much
thinne
vapours
,
and
a
strong
sent
withall
;
which
springs
are
very
medicinable
unto
many
maladies
.
Three
of
these
springs
there
are
in
all
,
the
waters
of
the
which
being
received
in
large
and
fitting
receptacles
for
the
publick
use
;
they
call
the
Kings
Bath
,
the
crosse
Bath
,
and
the
hot
Bath
.
From
bathing
in
these
waters
,
it
was
called
the
Bath
;
and
thence
Bathania
in
the
Latine
:
unlesse
perhaps
you
rather
thinke
that
bathing
tooke
its
hint
from
hence
,
and
that
this
place
tooke
name
from
Badon
,
or
mons
Badonicus
,
not
far
off
,
as
certainely
Ca●r
Badon
,
the
old
Britains
called
it
:
The
Greeks
and
Latines
gave
it
names
according
to
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
waters
,
or
the
Baths
there
being
:

BEdford
is
one
of

three
Counties
which
anciently
were
possessed
by
the
Castic●●bla
ni●
the
Countrey
indifferently
well
provided
of
all
necessaries
,
both
for
foode
and
fewell
.
It
taketh
denomination
from
the
chiefe
town
thereof
,
called
Bedford
,
or
in
the
old
Saxon
,
Bedanford
;
i.

Beds
,

Innes

A
towne
conveniently
seated
on

which
runneth
through

;
well
built
,
and
populous
,
as
having
in
it
no

then
five

.
But
the
chiefe
commendations
which
it
hath
,
is
for
the
antiquity
and
strength
thereof
;
as
being
a
towne
of
no

note

consequence
,
Anno

when
as
Cuthwulf
the
Saxon
vanquished
the
Britains
in

open
feild
,
and
became
Master
of
the
Countrey
.
The
Castle
here
being
counted
very
strong
,
and
almost
impregnable
,
brought
no
small
mischeife
to
the
place
,
being
a
peece
much
aimed

by
all

the

the

BErkshire
was
anciently
in
the
Saxon
times
called
Berro●schire
:
which
name
the
learned
Antiquary
Master
Camden
out
of
Asserius
Menevensis
deriveth
from
Berroc
,
a
certaine
Forrest
,
where
grew
good
store
of
Box
,
to
which
the
people
used
in
the
time
of
danger
to
retire
themselves
.
It
lieth
conveniently
all
along
the
bankes
of
the
river
of
Thames
,
which
serves
them
well
for
the
conveyance
of
their
corae
,
fewell
,
and
other
commodities
to
the
City
of
London
:
and
containeth
in
it
140.
Parishes
,
of
the
which
12.
are
Market
townes
;
the
chiefe
,
Reading
,
and
Abington
.
But
that
which
gives
most
lustre
to
it
,
is
the
royall
Palace
and
Castle
of
Windsore
,
the
principall
seate
and
residence
of
the
most
honourable
order
of
the
Garter
:
and
indeed
the
most
magnificent
mansion
of
the
Kings
of
England
.
Camden
in
his
description
of
this
County
doth
conclude
it
thus
.
Thus
much
of
Barksh
.
which
(
as
yet
)
hath
given
the
title
of
Earle
to
no
man
.
And
true
it
was
when
he
so
said
it
.
But
since
it
hath
bestowed
that
title
on
these
:
Earles
of
Berks.

BRISTOL
.
BRistol
the
third
in
ranke
of
the
Cities
of
England
,
is
situate
on
the
rivers
of
Frome
and
Avon
,
not
far
off
from
the
entrance
of
the
Severne
into
the
Ocean
.
In
that
regard
it
stands
commodioussy
for
trade
and
trafick
,
the
ships
with
full
sayle
comming
up
into
the
bosome
of
the
City
;
and
verily
the
Cityzens
there
are
wealthy
Merchants
,
and
trade
into
the
most
part
of
the
world
with
good
faith
and
fortune
.
Part
of
it
stands
in
Somersetsh
.
and
part
in
Glocester
shire
,
though
they
account
themselves
of
neither
:
being
a
County
in
it selfe
incorporate
,
and
independent
upon
any
other
than
its
own
Officers
.
A
town
exceeding
populous
,
and
exceeding
cleanly
:
there
being
sinks
and
sewers
made
under
ground
,
for
the
conveyance
of
all
filth
and
nastinesse
,
which

The

,
and
in

K.

kept
a

by

BUCKINGHAM
.
Bvckingham
is
another
of
the
three
Counties
,
which
were
once
the
seate
of
the
Catlieuchlani
:
and
is
supposed
to
take
that
name
from
Bucken
,
that
is
,
Beech-trees
,
with
which
the
Countrey
is
well
stored
.
It
is
generally
a
very
rich
and
plentifull
soyle
,
equally
good
for
corne
,
and
grazing
,
and
lieth
al
along
on
the
banke
of
the
Thames
,
confronting
Bark-shire
.
It
conteines
in
it
,
185
Parishes
,
eleven
of
the
which
are
market
townes
;
and
amongst
them
the
chiefe
in
name
is
Buckingham
,
the
head
town
of
the
County
.
A
town
of
no
great
note
,
when
it
was
at
the
best
;
but
more
considerable
heretofore
,
than
at
the
present
;
being
once
fortified
with
a
Castle
,
now
hardly
to
bee
found
in
the
very
ruines
,
as
also
with
a
rampire
and
certaine
sconces
,
built
for
defence
thereof
against
the
Danes
,
now
more
invisible
than
the
Castle
.
The
greatest
honour
it
can
chalenge
,
is
that
it
hath
given
titles
of
the
highest
honour
,
to
many
a

personage

BVLLINGBROKE
.
BVllingbroke
is
an
antient
town
in
Lincoln-shire
,
heretofore
belonging
to
the
Lacies
E.
of
Lincolne
:
and
by

marriage
with

of

Lacy

to

this
with
the
residue
of
the
lands
of
Lincolne
,
became
united
and
incorporated
with
those
of
Lancaster
.
The
greatest
fame
thereof
,
was
for
a
Castle
built
there
by
William
of
Romara
,
E.
of

:
but
much
more
famous
in

of

CAMBRIDGE
.
CAmbridge-shire
was
once
part
of
the
possessions
of
the
old
Iceni
,
and
takes
that
name
from
Cambridge
the
chiefe
town
thereof
;
and
that
derived
either
from
the
old
town
called
Camboritum
,
which
Antoninus
mentions
in
this
tract
,
or
else
,
as
other
have
conceived
,
from
a
bridge
built
on
the
river
Cam
,
on
whose
banks
it
standeth
.
A
town
that
hath
beene
long
since
dedicated
unto
learning
:
here
being
a
publique
Schoole
erected
An.
630
or
thereabouts
,
by
Sebert
King
,
of
the
East
Angles
,
and
that
ad
morem
Cantuariorum
,
as
it
is
in
Beda
.
But
Schooles
and
studies
being
overthrown
by
the
Danish
fury
,
it
lay
long
forlorne
and
discontinued
,
till
it
beganne
to
flourish
under
the
calmer
times
of
the
Normans
government
,
that
is
to
say
,
about
the
middle
of
the
reign
of
K.
H.
the
first
,
the
3
K.
of
the
Norman
Kings
.
Nor
was
it
long
before
,
that
of
a
famous
Schoole
,
or
Schola
illustris
,
as
we
phrase
it
now
,
it
did
become
as
famous
an
Vniversity
:
Robert
de
Remington
affirming
,
that
in
the
reigne
of
Edward
the
1
it
was
made
an
Vniversity
such
as
Oxford
is
,
by
the
Court
of
Rome
.
There
are
now
16
Colleges
and
Hals
endowed
,
replenished
with
such
store
of
students
,
that
unlesse
it
be
in
her
sister
Oxford
,
the
like
are
not
found
in
all
Europe
.
But
we
must
leave
this
speculation
of
it
as
an
Academy
;
and
look
upon
it
next
as
a
title
of
honour
:
in
which
consideration
we
shall
find
it
no
lesse
fortunate
,
than
we
did
before
,
in
these
Earles
of
Cambridge
.

CARLILE
.
CArlile
is
the
principall
City
in
the
County
of
Cumberland
,
situate
in
the
furthest
part
of
the
Kingdome
toward
Scotland
,
on
the
Westerne
marches
:
fortified
with
a
Citadel
and
sundry
Bulwarks
for
a
defence
against
the
Scots
,
as
standing
in
a
place
of
most
advantage
for
the
securing
of
that
border
.
It
flourished
heretofore
in
the
time
of
the
Romans
,
and
was
by
them
called
Lugu-vallum
,
as
standing
on
the
Trench
,
or
Vallum
Picticum
,
the
Picts
wall
,
as
our
stories
call
it
;
made
by
the
Romans
to
defend
their
Province
from
the
Picts
and
Scots
.
So
that
it
seemes
of
old
to
have
been
the
boundary
betweene
the
nations
:
though
the
Northumbers
after
,
in
the
Saxon
times
,
enlarged
their
Empire
to
the
banks
of
Dunbritton
Fryth
.
From
whence
,
or
when
it
first
was
called
Carlile
,
our
Authors
say
not
;
but
by
that
●●me
,
and
in
the
Latin
by
Carleo
〈…〉
,
it
hath
long
been
known
.
The
Danes
consumed
it
into
ashes
,
and
it
lay
unrepaired
in
rubbish
,
til
the
time
of
William
Rufus
,
who
rebuilt
it
.
Since
which
by
the
accession
of
the
Episcopall
See
,
erected
there
by
H.
the
first
,
who
succeeded
Rufus
;
it
came
to
be
of
wealth
and
credit
:
and
hath
given
the
title
of
an
Earldome
to
two
severall
Families
,
which
being
of
a
different
quality
,
have
in
as
different
times
beene
Earles

CARNARVON

CArnarvon

shire
of
North-wales
,
butting
upon
the
Irish
seas
,

parted
from

Isle
of

A

:

walled

with
a

CHESTER
.
CHester
is
the
principall
City
of
Cheshire
,
antiently
part
of
the
Cornavii
.
The
Country
not
so
plentifull
in
corne
,
as
in
fish
and
cattell
;
but
fruitfull
in
no
one
thing
more
than
the
production
of
ancient
Gentry
;
of
which
it
can
still
shew
more
antient
Families
than
any
one
County
in
the
Kingdome
.
The
City
built
in
form
of
a
quadrant
,
fouresquare
,
is
enclosed
with
a

that
taketh
up
more
than

the
houses
being
very
faire
,

well
built
,
and
having
all
along
in
the
chief
streets

doors
,
a
kind
of

;
through
which
a
man
may
walk
dry
from

end

Seated
it

upon

on
which
,
to
shew
his
splendor

magnificence
,
K.

rowed
by

kings
of

,
to
the

;
to

And
though

it
still
holds
the

CHESTERFEILD
.
CHesterfield
is
a
town
of
Darbysh
,
commonly
called
Chesterfeild
in
Scardale
.
A
towne
,
which
by
the
ruines
of
it
doth
seem
to
be
of
good
antiquity
;
and
therefore
likely
to
have
had
some
more
ancient
name
,
which
seemes
to
be
now
buried
in
those
ruines
;
or
by
continuance
of
time
,
quite
worne
out
and
lost
.
It
glorieth
much
of
being
made
a
free
Burrough
,
in
the
time
of
K.
John
;
and
for
the
battaile
fought
hard
by
between
K.
Henry
the
3
,
and
his
rebellious
Barons
,
in
which
Rob.
de
Ferrers
,
Earle
of
Darby
,
being
taken
prisoner
,
lost
his
Estate
and
Dignity
,
though
not
his
life
.
But
that
in
which
it
hath
most
cause
to
glory
,
is
that
from
an
ordinary
Market
Town
,
it
is
become
the
seate
of
an
Earldome
;
the
stile
and
title
of

CLARE
&
CLARENCE
.
CLare
is
an
ancient
Town
on
the
edge
of
Suffolk
,
where
it
joyneth
to
Essex
,
seated
not
far
off
from
the
banks
of
the
river
S●oure
by
which
the
Counties
are
divided
.
A
Town
that
hath
not
any
thing
whereof
to
boast
(
the
Castle
and
the
Collegiall
Church
being
both
in
rubbish
)
but
that
it
gave
both
name
and
title
unto
that
noble
Family
,
sirnamed
De
Clare
;
who
in
their
times
were
Earles
of
Hartford
,
Clare
and
Gloucester
.
But
the
male
issue
of
these
Clares
being
failed
,
Lionel
the

sonne
of
K.
Edw.

(

,
begotten
on
the

,
who
died
Anno

,
the

E.

Clare

was
made
Duke
of
Clarence
;
the
termination
of
the
title
,
being
only
changed
,
not
the
place
denominating
.
And
from
the
change
thus
made
(
which
I
note
only
by
the
way
)
the
second
king
of
Armes
is
surnamed
Clarentieux
;
as
apperteining
formerly
to

of

:

CORNWALL
.
COrnwall
is
the
most
western
part
of
England
,
and
takes
denomination
from
the
shape
and
fashion
of
it
,
being
like
an
horne
;
which
the
old
Britans
called
Kern
,
as
now
the
Welch
call
the
countrey
Kernaw
.
The
people
of
it
are
a
remainder
generally
of
the
antient
Britans
;
whose
language
,
for
much
of
it
,
they
do
still
retaine
:
although
by
intermixture
of
the
Saxons
,
not
easie
to
be
understood
by
the
Welch
themselves
.
The
Countrey
very
mountainous
,
as
Wales
is
also
;
and
therefore
of
the
lesse
accesse
to
the
Conquering
Saxons
:
but
the
sea-costs
well
beautified
with
goodly
townes
,
able
to
set
to
Sea
,
a
good
Fleet
of
shippes
.
And
for
the
mountaines
,
they
doe
recompence
their
defects
without
,
by
their
abundant
wealth
within
;
as
being
very
full
of
mines
of
tinne
,
which
yeelds
great
profit
to
the
Countrey
,
and
furnisheth
most
parts
of
Christendome
with
that
commodity
.
The
Earles
of
Cornwall
heretofore
gave
great
immunities
and
liberties
to
those
that
laboured
in
these
mines
;
and
when
this
Earldome
fell
again
unto
the
Crown
,
Edw.
the
3
erected
a
L.
Warden
of
the
Stannaries
,
to
have
the
government
thereof
.
And
at
that
time
of
its
reverting
to
the
Crown
,
the
L.
K.
Edw.
gave
it
to
his
son
,
surnamed
the
black
Prince
;
since
the
which
time
,
the
eldest
sons
of
the
Kings
of
England
,
whether
it
be
by
birth
,
or
by
the
death
of
their
Elder
brothers
,
are
ipso
facto
Dukes
of
Cornwall
,
without
any
creation
,
and
are
at
age
to
sue
their
livery
,
how
young
soever
.
Whom
with
their
predecessors
we
shall
marshall
thus

COVENTRY
.
COventry
is
a
faire
and
goodly
City
,
within
the
limits
of
Warw●ck
shire
,
but
now
within
the
County
of
Warwick
;
heretofore
called
so
from
the
Convent
,
by
which
and
the
translating
of
the
See
Episcop
all
from
Lichfeild
hither
,
it
grew
exceeding
rich
and
wealthy
.
And
though
it
now
hath
neither
Convent
,
nor
Episcopall
See
(
more
than
in
ruine
and
in
title
)
it
still
continues
its
old
wealth
;
being
the
best
City
of
mart
and
trade
in
all
these
parts
;
commodiously
built
and
seated
,
and
more
than
ordinarily
frequented
for
an
Inland
Towne
.
It
belonged
once
unto
the
Barles
of
Chester
,
and
afterward
by
many
meane
conveyances
to
John
of
Eltham
Earle
of
Cornwall
;
and
so
this
place
became
annexed
unto
that
Earldome
.
Nor
lost
it
any
thing
,
but
rather
gained
much
by
that
annexation
:
Henry
the
6.
laying
unto
it
certaine
of
the
adjacent
Villages
:
and
making
it
with
them
a
County
corporate
,
cleerely
distinct
from
that
of
Warwick
.
It
is
now
one
of
the
honourary
titles
of
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
George
Marquesse
of
Buckingham
,
being
created
Duke

CUMBERLAND
.
CUmberland
is
the
furthest
Country
of
England
,
on
the
Northwest
side
,
antiently
part
of
the
Brigantes
.
It
is
called
Cumbria
in
the
Latine
,
and
Cumbrorum
terra
,
as
being
inhabited
by
the
true
and
naturall
Britans
,
(
who
in
their
own
language
are
cald
K●mri
)
when
as
the
residue
of
these
Northern
parts
had
yeelded
to
the
conquering
Saxon.
A
Countrey
,
for
the
situation
of
it
,
neither
unpleasant
nor
unprofitable
;
the
Valleis
yeelding
corne
sufficiently
,
the
Mountaines
breeding
great
flocks
of
sheep
,
the
Meeres
replenished
with
all
kind
of
wild
foule
,
and
the
adjoyning
Sea
affording
a
variety
of
excellent
fish
.
It
conteineth
in
it
not
above
58
Parish
Churches
,
but
very
many
Chappels
of
Ease
,
as
big
and
large
as
any
Parish
.
Of
these
there
are
9
Market
Townes
,
whereof
the
chiefe
(
next
Carlile
)
for
dispatch
of
busines
,
is
that
of
Perith
,
wherein
they
hold
their
Sessions
and

DENBIGH
.
DEnbigh-shire
is
one
of
the
shires
of
North-wales
,
heretofore
appertaining
to
the
Ordevices
.
The
Countrey
very
mounteinous
,
and
as
barren
generally
;
though
by
the
paines
and
industry
of
the
husband-man
,
it
be
made
in
some
parts
very
fruitfull
.
The
chiefe
towne
Denbigh
is
well
seated
on
the
banks
of
the
river
Istrad
,
which
from
thence
runneth
into
the
Cluyd
,
the
fairest
river
of
this
countrey
.
A
town
well
peopled
and
inhabited
,
especially
since
it
became
the
head
of
the
county
;
which
was
not
till

of

this
was
one
.
But
before
that
it
was
the
head
town
of
the
Barony
of
Denbigh
,
being
conceived
to
be
one
of
the
goodliest
territories
in

Englind
,
as
having
more
Gentlemen
holding
thereof

DEVONSHIRE
.
DEvonshire
is
the
most
Western
Countrey
of
all
England
,
excepting
Cornwall
,
together
with
the
which
it
made
up
the
possession
of
the
old
Danmonii
.
It
is
called
Devi●an
by
the
Cornish
Britans
,
that
is
,
the
country
of
Low-valleies
,
because
the
people
dwel
for
the
most
part
beneath
in
vales
.
From
thence
the
Saxons
had
their
Devenshire
;
and
the
Latines
borrow
their
Devonia
A
countrey
harborous
on
either
side
with
commodious
Havens
,
enriched
with
inexhaustable
mines
of
tinne
,
beautified
with
fresh
and
pleasant
meadows
,
shaded
again
in
other
parts
with
greater
store
of
woods
,
and
very
well
replenished
with
Towns
and
Villages
;
whereof
it
reckoneth
in
the
whole
394
Parishes
,
and
therein
37
Market
townes
of
good
note
and
trade
.
The
countrey
of
it selfe
not
so
fit
for
corne
,
but
that
the
toyle
and
travaile
of
the
ploughman
supplies
that
defect
,
and
addes
unto
it
both
by
cost
and
industry
what
it
wants
by
Nature
.
Earles
it
hath
had
of
severall
Families
;
of
which
the
Rivers
and
the
Courtneys
held
the
title
long
:
as
now
the
Cavendishes
may
doe
,
who
have
possession
of
it
in
the
third
generation
.
But
how
long
any
of
them
held
it
,
and
who
they
were
that
interloped
,
wee
shall
best
see
,

DORSET

Dorset
,
abbutteth
upon
that
of
Devonshire
,
having
the
Sea
upon
the
South
,
and
Somersetshire
upon
the
North.
It
was
inhabited
hertofore
by
the
Durotriges
,
and
was
all
the
land
they
did
inhabit
.
The
aire
good
,
and
of
an
healthfull
constitution
;
the
soyle
fat
and
rich
in
many
places
,
and
where
in
that
it
is
defective
;
it
yelds
good
store
of
woods
and
pasture
.
The
Country
generally
very
pleasant
,
in
her
situation
,
as
being
no
lesse
beholding
to
the
inner-land
Rivers
,
than
the
bordering

;
the
one
yeelding
merchandise
from

,
the
other
the

of

to

;
and
both

248

18

the
chiefe
of

DOVER
.
DOver
,
is
a
well
knowne
and
famous
Town
,
both
for
the
Haven
and
the
Castle
,
for
the
security
and
renown
of
which
and
the
convenient
situation
of
it
over
against
France
,
it
hath
long
beene
accounted
one
of
the
Cinque
Ports
.
Seated
it
is
in
the
very
South-East
point
of
Kent
,
from
whence
a
man
may
easily
discerne
the
coast
of
France
as
being
but
24
miles
distant
.
The
Town
stands
in
the
bottom
between
the
clyffes
,
very
warme
and
safe
;
the
Castle
mounted
up
aloft
,
both
to
command
and
to
defend
it
.
A
place
indeed
of
such
impregnable
strength
and
so
great
importance
;
that
Philip
King
of
France
,
when
Lewys
his
son
being
called
in
hither
by
the
factious
Barons
against
their
Soveraigne
L.
King
Iohn
,
had
gotten
many
Townes
and
Forts
,
but
yet
could
not
get
the
mastery
of
this
peece
,
despised
all
,
saying
,
verily
my
son
hath
not
one
foot
of

,
if
he
be
not
master

ESSEX
.
ESsex
was
anciently
perteining
to
the
East
.
Saxons
,
and
made
a
chiefe
part
of
their
Kingdome
;
hence
it
took
the
name
.
Before
it
did
belong
to
the
Trinobantes
.
A
Countrey
large
in
compasse
,
fruitfull
of
corne
and
other
sorts
of
graine
,
plentifull
in
saffron
,
wel
wooded
and
wel
watred
also
;
&
that
not
only
by
the
Sea
,
and
the
River
of
Thams
,
which
washeth
all
one
side
thereof
,
but
with
faire
,
and
fresh
,
and
fishful
Rivers
,
which
do
afford
no
small
commodity
unto
it
.
The
greatest
want
it
hath
is
of
sweet
fresh
aire
;
those
paris
thereof
which
lye
along
upon
the
Thames
,
(
which
they
call
the
hundreds
)
being
very
aguish
and
unhealthy
.
This
County
conteineth
in
it
415
Parish
Churches
,
whereof
21
are
Market
Townes
,
of
which
Colchester
is
farre
the
richest
,
fairest
and
best
traded
.
Yet
in
regard
it
standeth
in
the
extremity
of
all
the
Countrey
,
the
Sessions
and
Assisses
are
held
most
commonly
at
Chelmesford
,
which
is
almost
in
the
middle
of
it
.
But
it
is
time
to
leave
the
Countrey
,
and
come
unto
The
Earles
of
Essex
.

EXETER
.
EXeter
is
now
the
chiefe
City
of
Devonshire
as
heretofore
of
the
Danmonii
,
by
Ptolomy
called
Isca
,
and
so
by
Antonine
,
but
that
the
Copies
are
mistaken
,
in
which
,
instead
of
Isca
Danmoniorum
,
we
read
Isca
Dunmoriorum
.
A
faire
and
goodly
Town
it
is
,
seated
upon
the
Easterne
banke
of
the
river
Ex
,
from
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Excester
.
In
circuit
it
coutrines
within
the
wals
about
a
mile
and
a
halfe
,
besides
the
suburbs
which
every
way
stretch
out
to
a
great
length
;
and
in
that
circuit
there
are
numbred
15
Parish
Churches
,
besides
the
Cathedrall
.
The
whole
environed
with
deep
ditches
,
and
very
strong
wals
having
many
towrs
therein
very
well
disposed
,
and
yet
the
animosity
of
the
inhabitants
is
a
greater
strength
unto
it
,
than
the
wals
or
ditches
;
where
of
they
have
given
notable
proofe
,
in
these
later
times
.
But
for
that
I
refer
you
to

now
present

FLINT
.
FLintshire

is
one
of

shires
of
North-wales
,

though
augmented
somewhat
by

Yet
it
is
still
the
lest
of
all
,
as
not
containing
above
28
Parishes
,
and
of
them
only
one
market
Town
.
The
Countrey
not
so
mounteinous
as
the
rest
of
Wales
;
exceedingly
well
furnished
both
with
corne
for
men
,
and
grasse
for
cattell
;
of
which
it
hath
good
store
for
number
,
though
for
bulke
but
litle
.
It
tooke
denomination
from
the
Castle
of
Flint
,
begun
by
H.
2
,
but
finished
by
K.
Edw
1
,
for
a
goodfence
against
the
Welch
.
This
Country
hath
been
always
held
to
bee
an
appendant
on
that
of
Chester
,
and
doth
ad
gladium
Cestriae
pertinere
,
as
the
old
books
say
:
but
both
united
now
unto
the
principality
of
Wales
.
Edward
of
Windsore
eldest
son
of
K.
Edw.
2
was
summoned
by
his
father
to
the
Parliament
by
the
name
of
E.
of
Chester
,
and
Flint
;
since
which
it
hath
continued
as
a
title
in
the
Princes
of
Wales
;
and
there
you
shall
be
sure
to
find
who
were
Earles
of
Flint
.
GLOCESTER
.
GLocester-shire
,
antiently
was
part
of
the
possessions
of
the
Dobuni
.
A
fruitful
and
a
pleasant
Countrey
,
being
honoured
with
a
full
course
of
the
river
of
Severne
,
and
the
originall
or
fountaine
of
the
River
of
Thames
.
That
part
thereof
which
is
beyond
the
Severne
is
overspread
with
woods
;
all
which
included
in
one
name
,
make
the
Forrest
of
Deane
.
That
part
that
butteth
upon
Oxsord-shire
,
is
swelled
up
with
hils
,
called
the
Cotswold
hils
;
but
these
even
covered
,
as
it
were
with
sheep
,
which
yeelds
a
wooll
of
notable
finenesle
,
hardly
inferiour
to
the
best
of
England
.
Between
those
two
is
seated
a
most
fruitfull
Vale
,
fruitfull
to
admiration
,
of
all
kindes
of
graine
,
and
heretofore
of
Vines
and
Vineyards
;
the
want
of
which
is
now
supplied
by
a
drink
made
of
Apples
,
called
Syder
,
which
here
they
make
in
great
abundance
.
In
this
so
fruitfull
Vale
stands
the
City
of
Glocester
,
denominating
all
the
Countrey
;
and
taking
name
from
the
old
Gle●um
,
herein
placed
by
Antonine
;
for
Gleaucester
the
Saxons
stiled
it
.
A
fine
and
neate
city
I
assure
you
t
is
,
daintily
seated
on
the
Severne
;
with
a
large
Keye
or
wharfe
on
the
bankes
thereof
,
very
commodious
to
the
Merchandise
and
trade
of
the
place
.
The
streets
are
generally
faire
,
and
the
town
well
built
.
And
which
addes
no
small
lustre
to
it
,
Richard
the
3
▪
once
Duke
hereof
,
by
laying
unto
it
two
of
the
adjacent
hundreds
made
it
a
County
of
it selfe
;
calling
it
the
County
of
the
City
of
Glocester
.
A
City
finally
it
is
,
as
worthy
to
denominate
so
rich
a
Countrey
,
as
is
the
Countrey
to
give
title
to
those
eminent
persons
,
that
in
their
severall
times
and
ages
,
have
been
the
Dukes
and
Earles
of
Glocester
.

HARTFORD
.
HArtford-shire
is
another
of
those
Countries
,
which
formerly
were
inhabited
by
the
Cattreuchlani
.
A
Country
,
as
it
is
described
by
Camden
,
rich
in
corne
fields
,
pastures
,
meadowes
,
woods
,
groves
,
and
cleere
riverets
▪
and
which
for●
ancient
Townes
may
compare
with
any
of
its
neighbours
;
there
being
no
one
shire
in
England
,
that
can
shew
more
places
of
antiquity
,
in
so
small
a
compasse
.
It
conteines
in
it
but
120
Parishes
,
and
of
them
18
are
market
Townes
.
The
Shire-towne
,
which
doth
also
give
denomination
unto
all
the
Country
is
Hertford
,
s●●ted
on
the
banke
of
the
river
Lea
,
by
Beda
called
Herudford
,
which
some
interpret
the
Redford
,
and
others
some
the
Ford
of
herts
.
A
Towne
not
much
frequented
,
nor
greatly
inhabited
,
as
overtopped
by
Ware
,
which
enjoyeth
the
through-fare
;
and
by
S.
Albans
,
which
enjoyeth
the
trade
of
all
the
Countrey
.
The
greatest
commendation
of
it
is
in
the
antiquity
;
and
that
it
hath
been
longest
a
title
of
honour
,
of

in

HEREFORD
.
HEreford-shire
,
was
in
times
past
inhabited
by
the
Silures
.
A
Countrey
,
which
besides
that
it
is
right
pleasant
,
is
for
yeelding
of
corne
,
and
feeding
of
cattell
,
in
all
places
most
fruitfull
,
and
therewith
passing
well
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
for
mans
life
;
insomuch
that
it
would
scorne
to
come
hehind
any
one
County
in
England
,
the
people
using
it
for
a
byword
,
that
for
three
W.

that
is
,
Wheat
,
Wooll
,
and
Water
,
it
yeeldeth
to
no
shire
in
all
the
Kingdome
.
The
name
it
taketh
from
Hertford
,
the
chief
Town
thereof
,
which
rose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Ariconium
,
here
placed
by
Antonine
;
the
tract
and
foot-steps
of
which
name
,
it
doth
still
retaine
.
The
Town
is
seated
very
pleasantly
upon
the
banks
of
the
River
Wye
,
in
the
middle
of
most
flourishing
Meadowes
,
and
no
lesse
plentifull
corne
fields
:
and
for
defence
thereof
,
had
once
a
strong
and
stately
Castle
,
which
now
time
hath
ruined
.
The
Normans
became
masters
of
the
place
,
assoone
almost
as
they
had
made
their
entrance
into
England
,
and
unto
them
the
Castle
oweth
its
original
;
and
2
yeares
after
the
said
Conquest
,
it
was
made
an
Earldom
,
and
hath
since
given
the
title
of
Dukes
,
Earles
,
and

HOLDERNESSE
.
HOldernesse
is
the
name
of
a
large
Promontory
or
head-land
,
in
the
East-riding
of
York-shire
,
lying
on
the
South-east
of
the
river
of
Hull
:
Ptolomy
seems
to
call
it
Ocellum
,
a
certaine
Monk
Cavam
Deiram
,
or
the
Hollow
Country
of
the
Denians
;
expressing
in
those
words
the
new
name
of
Holdernesse
.
William
the
Conquerour
gave
this
territory
to
Stephen
the
son
of
Ode
of
Champaigue
Lord
of
Aumerle
,
in
Normandy
;
whose
issue
did
continue
Lords
hereof
,
whiles
any

of
that
house
continued
.
But
that
line
being
extinct
in

,
first

HOLLAND
.
HOlland
is
one
of
the
3
parts
of
Lincolnsh
.
situate
on
the
South-West
corner
of
it
,
in
the
fennes
and
marishes
.
The
ground
surrounded
much
with
waters
,
heretofore
yeelded
very
small
store
of
graine
,
but
great
plenty
of
grasse
,
and
plentifully
furnished
both
with
fish
and
fowle
.
But
now
upon
the
dreyning
of
this
fenny
Country
,
they
begin
to
plough
it
,
and
sowe
the
same
so
ploughed
with
rape-seed
,
which
yeelds
a
very
great
increase
,
and
is
become
a
rich
commodity
.
The
Town
of
most
antiquity
is
Crowland
,
heretofore
famous
for
the
Abby
,
valued
at
the
supression
at
1217

That
of
most
trade
and
note
is
Boston
;
a
fine
Town
indeed
,
and
very
famous
for
the
lanterne
,
which
is
a
very
excellent
sea-mark
,
and
a
land-mark
too
.
And
this
with
all
,
is
to
be
noted
of
this
Country
,
that
howsoever
one
can
hardly
find
a
stone
in
it
(
such

the
softnesse

HUntingdon-shire
was
heretofore
inhabited
by
the
Iceni
.
A
Country
generally
good
for
corne
and
tillage
;
and
towards
the
East
,
where
it
adjoyneth
on
the
fennes
,
as
rich
in
pasturage
:
elsewhere
it
is
as
pleasant
,
though
not
so
profitable
,
by
reason
of
the
rising
hils
,
and
fine
shady
groves
.
It
hath
been
heretofore
well
beset
with
Woods
,
and
was
indeed
a
Forest
till
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
second
,
in
the
beginning
of
whose
reigne
,
disforested
.
In
this
regard
,
the
Forest
yeelding
speciall
opportunity
,
and
delight
for
Hunters
,
the
chiefe
Town
of
it
had
the
name
of
Hunter
downe
,
we
now
call
it
Huntingodn
,
with
very
little
variation
.
The
Towne
commodiously
seated
upon
the
northern
bank
of
the
River
Quse
,
rising
unto
the
North
on
the
ascent
of
an
hill
:
adorned
with
foure
Parish
Churches
,
and
had
a
little
Abbey
once
,
founded
by
Maud
the
Emper.
and
Eustace
Loveloft
:
the
ruines
of
the
which
,
and
of
a
farre
more
ancient
Castle
,
built
by
King
Edward
the
older
,
Anno
917
;
are
yet
to
be
seene
.
This
County
conteineth
in
it
five
other
market
Townes
,
besides
the
shire-Towne
,
and
79
Parishes
in
the
whole
:
and
did
become
an
Earldome
presently
on
the
Norman
Conquest
,
as
it
hath
ever
since
continued
in
these
Earles
of
Huntingdon

,
called

Candale
,
and
Kirk
by

,
as
being
seated
in
a

The

built
in

two

a

is
a
very
rich

pleasant
Countrey
,
lying

Seas

A
Countrey
very
good
for
corne

fit
for
pasturage
,
according
to
the
severall
plots

parts
thereof
;
and
wondrous
full
of
fruitfull

well-ordered
Orchards

from
whence
the
City

is
supplied
with
most
sort
of
fruit

398

;
besides
lesser

which
make

also
divers
safe

sure
Harbours

those
exceeding
well
defended

Caesar

found
here
4
kings
,
(
for
so
they
cal'd
the
Chiefes

Families

gives
this
testimony
of
the
people
,
that
they
were
the
most
courteous

civill
of
all
the
Britan●

In
the
declining

gave
this
Countrey
unto
the
Saxons

when

Isle

Christians
,
gave
an
occasion
to
the
Proverb
of
Kent

Christendome
.
At
that

it
was
made
a

;
as
in

KINGSTON
.
Kingston
,
is
the
name
of
a
well
known
and
eminent
Town
in
the
East
Riding
of
York-shire
,
which
standing
on
the
mouth
of
the
river
Hull
,
where
it
doth
fall
into
the
Humber
,
is
better
known
amongst
us
by
the
name
of
Hull
.
A
town
indeed
of
no
antiquity
,
being
first
built
by
Edward
the
1
,
who
liking
the
situation
of
the
place
,
compounded
for
it
with
the
Abbot
of
Meaux
,
(
to
whom
it
formerly
belonged
)
and
there
built
the
town
,
and
caused
it
to
be
called
Kingston
.
It
rose
up
in
a
little
time
to
great
reputation
;
so
that
for
faire
and
sumptuous
buildings
,
strong
Slockhouses
,
well
furnished
ships
,
&
wealth
of
trade
,
it
is
become
the
most
remarkable
town
for
merchandise
in
these
parts
of
Eng.
Michael

Pole
,
the
first
E.
of
Suffolk
of
that
Family
,
being
son
of
Wil.
de
la
Pole
,
a
rich
merchant
here
,
obtained
great
priviledges
for
the
place
,
which
his
successors
as
they
grew
in
favour
,
did
increase
and
multiply
:
and
in

dayes
of
H.
6.
Wil.

Marq.
and
Dof
Suffolk
,
procured
it
to
bee
made
a
County

,
as
our
Lawyers
phrase
it
.
Of

LANCASTER
.
LAncashire
,
or
the
County
Palatine
of
Lancaster
,
was
heretofore
a
part
of
the
Brigants
;
and
lieth
upon
the
Irish
sea
,
to
the
North
of
Ch●shire
.
The
ground
accounted
not
so
fertile
as
in
other
places
,
fitter
for
oates
and
such
leane
corne
,
than
wheate
or
barley
.
And
yet
it
is
observed
with
all
,
that
in
those
parts
thereof
,
in
which
the
husband-man
is
not
wanting
to
it
,
in
cost
and
labour
,
that
there
it
yeldeth
corne
in
a
very
good
measure
.
The
ayre
thereof
may
seem
to
be
very
healthfull
;
and
one
would
easily
conjecture
so
by
the
complexion
of
the
people
,
which
are
faire
and
beautifull
.
And
yet
the
Country
is
not
much
inhabited
,
as
in
the
neighbouring
shires
about
them
:
there
being
in
so
large
a
quantity
of
ground
,
as
this
shire
containes
,
not
above
36
▪
Parishes
,
though
indeed
many
Chappels
of
Ease
,
equall
to
Parishes
elsewhere
for
multitudes
of
people
.
●o
takes
name
from
the
Town
of
Lancaster
,
or
more
truly
Loncaster
,
seated
upon
the
banks
of
the
river
Lonc
,
whence
it
had
the
name
;
the
Saxons
adding
Ceaster
(
as
in
other
places
)
for
the
termination
.
The
Town
not
very
well
peopled
,
nor
much
frequented
;
and
yet
of
that
authority
/
and
credit
,
that
it
gives
name
to
all
the
County
,
and
hath
obteined
this
priviledge
from
K.
Edw.
the
3
,
that
the
Sessions
and
Assises
should
be
held
in
no
other
place
.
What
Lords
and
Governours
it
had
in
the
former
times
,
we
regard
not
here
.
The
first
time
it
became
an
Earldome
,
was
when
K
H.
3
,
conferred
that
title
on
his
2
son
Edm.
and
it
was
destinate
to
greatnesse
in
the
first
foundation
;
there
being
layed
unto
it
at
the
very
first
,
besides
this
County
,
the
whole
confiscated
estates
of
the
Earles
of
Leicester
and
Darby
,
and
the
Barony
of
Monmouth
.
And
into
this
by
marriages
accrewed
in
time
,
the
great
estates
of
Wil.
de
Fortibus
,
E.
of
Aumerle
and
Lord
of
Holdernesse
,
Beausort
,
and
other
goodly
lands
in
France
;
the
Earldome
of
Lincoln
,
and
good
part
of
that
of
Salisbury
,
the
Lorships
of
Ogmore
and
Kidwelly
in
Wales
,
which
were
once
the
Chaworths
.
John
of
Ga●nt
added
hereunto
the
Castles
and
Honours
of
Hertford
,
and
Thickbill
,
and
his
son
Bulling
broke
a
moyetie
of
the
lands
of
Bohun
.
being
E.
of
He●eford
,
Essex
,
and

so
that
it
was
the
greatest
patrimony
(
as
I
verily
thinke
)
of
any
subject
Prince
in
Christendome
.
Lancaster
finally
was
made
a
County
Palatine
by
K.
Edward
the
3
,
and
hath
been
honoured
with
these
Dukes

Leicester
the
chiefe
town
thereof
;
a
town
indifferent
large
,
and
of
a
reasonable
handsom
building
,
and
as
wel
traded
as
most
inland
towns
that
want
(
as
this
)
the
benefit
of
a
navigable
river
.
It
had
once
a
very
faire
Collegiate
Church
within
it
,
&
a
faire
Abbey
close
unto
it
,
and
a
strong
Castle
therewithall
;
but
all
these
the
iniquity
and
injury
of
time
hath
ruined
.
Only
the
Hospitall
,
of
all
the
antient
edifices
;
stands
still
undefaced
.
As
for
the
Countrey
hence
denominated
,
it
beares
corne
good
plenty
,
but
is
bare
of
woods
;
the
want
of
which
is
well
supplyed
with
it-coale
,
with
which
the
North
part
of
the
Country
doth
store
al
the
rest
.
It
cō
cineth
in
the
whole
200
Parishes
,
and
of
them
12
are
market
Towns
;
the
biggest
,
as
in
bulke
being
Leicester
,
so
in
title
too
;
as
that
which
hath
beene
honored
even
before
the
Conquest
,
with
the
stile
and
reputation
of
an
Earldome
;
and
hath
continued
it
till
now
in
the
names
and
families
of
these
Earles
of
Leicester

LINCOLN
.
LIncoln-shire
antiently
belonged
to
the
Coretani
.
A
very
large
and
spacious
Countrey
,
extending
almost
60
miles
in
length
,
and
some
30
in
breadth
;
within
which
compasse
are
included
630
Parish
Churches
,
and
of
them
30
market
Towns
.
It
is
accounted
very
kindly
ground
for
the
yeeld
of
corn
,
and
feeding
of
cartell
,
and
furnished
in
the
lower
part
thereof
with
good
store
of
fowle
,
which
from
hence
are
convcied
to
London
in
great
abundance
.
It
takes
name
from
the
principall
City
,
by
Ptolomy
and
Antonine
,
called
Lindum
;
and
after
by
the
Saxons
Lind●colline
,
either
because
it
stands
on
so
high
an
hill
(
from
the
Latine
Collis
)
or
that
it
had
been
formerly
some
Roman
Colony
.
A
Town
of
great
renown
and
strength
in
the
times
of
the
Britans
,
and
in
the
Normans
time
(
as
saith
William
of
Malmesbury
)
it
was
one
of
the
best
peopled
Cities
of
England
;
a
place
of
merchandise
and
traffick
for
al
c●mmers
,
both
by
sea
and
land
;
insomuch
that
Remigius
then
Bishop
of
Dorcester
,
thought
fitting
to
translate
hither
his
Episcopall
see
.
From
this
opinion
it
then
had
,
first
began
the
Proverb
,
that
Lincoln
was
,
London
is
,
&c.

MANCHESTER

good
Town
of
Lancashire
,
situate
on
the
hithermost
part
thereof
,
where
it
joyneth
to
the
County
of

.
A
Town
of
very
great
antiquity
,
known
to
the
Emperour
Antonine
,
by
the
name
of
Mancunium
;
part
of
which
name
it
still
retaines
.
And
still
it
carrieth
a
good
accompt
,
and
far
excels
the

both

MARCH
.
MArch
is
a
name
of
different
nature
,
from
the
rest
before
,
as
being
neither
Towne
nor
County
.
Vnder
that
name
of
March
or
of
Marches
rather
,
our
Ancestors
did
comprehend
those
batable
grounds
between
Wales
and
Eng.
for
governance
whereof
,
and
the
repressing
of
the
insolencies
of
either
side
,
there
were
certaine
Lords
and
Potent
men
,
whose
lands
lay
nearest
to
these
parts
,
which
were
called
Lords
Mar●●ers
,
who
had
great
power
and
jurisdiction
in
their
severall
quarters
.
Amongst
these
were
the
Mortimers
of
Wigmore
,
men
of
great
authority
,
who
after
were
advanced
above
the
rest
,
and
made
Earles
of
March.
And
it
continued
in
that
Family
,
untill
it
fell
by
marriage
to
the
house
of
York
;
and
so
by
Edw
the
4
,
to
the
Crown
of
Eng.
Nor
was
it
long
before
the
authority
of
the
Lords
Marchers
was
extinguished
quite
,
by
the
uniting
of
Wales
to

MARLEBVRGH
.
MArleburgh
is
a
Town
in
the
North
east
part
of
Wilt-shire
,
seated
not
,
far
off
from
the
head
of
the
river
Kenet
:
which
runneth
thence
to
Hungerford
,
and
Newbury
,
and
so
by
Reading
into
the
Thames
.
The
Towne
called
antiently
Cunetio
in
Antonine's
Itinerarium
,
as
the
river
was
:
but
by
the
Normans
,
in
whose
time
this
Town
revived
(
out
of
the
ruines
of
the
old
)
it
was
called
Marleburgh
,
as
being
seated
in
a
chaulky
foyle
,
which
in
some
places
still
we
call
by
the
name
of
Marle
.
A
Town
stretched
out
from
East
to
West
,
upon
the
pendant
of
an
hill
,
and
had
a
Castle
once
belonging
unto
John
,
sirnamed
Sans
tarre
,
who
afterwards
was
K.
of
England
,
which
is
still
,
famous
in
our
Law
books
,
for
a
Parliament
there
held
,
52.
H.
3
,
in
which
were
made
the
statutes
(
from
hence
called
)
of
Marleburgh
,
right
necessary
for
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
people
,
as
is
affirmed
in
the
preamble
unto
the
same
.
Our
Soveraigne
at
his
Coronation
made
it
yet
more
notable
,
in
making
it
the
honour
,
as
it

MARSHALL
.
THe
title
of
E.
Marshall
is
different
from
the
rest
of
England
,
all
of
the
which
(
the
title
of
Earle
Rivers
excepted
only
)
are
locall
,
or
denominated
from
some
place
;
this
only
personall
:
the
residue
being
only
honorary
,
this
honorary
and
officiary
,
both
together
.
Antiently
they
that
had
this
office
were
only
Marshals
of
the
Kings
house
,
according
as
the
same
is
now
discharged
by
the
Knights
Marshall
.
But
in
succeeding
times
it
grew
to
be
a
place
of
great
power
,
and
honour
;
as
it
still
continueth
.
At
first
they
had
the
title
of
L.
Marshall
only
.
Rich.
the
2
was
the
first
,
who
by
letters
Parents
advanced
them
to
the
dignity
of
Earles
Marshals
,
and
with
all
gave
them
power
to
beare
a
staffe
of
gold
,
enammeled
black
at
both
ends
,
with
the
Kings
Armes
on
the
upper
end
,
and
their
own
Armes
on
the
lower
;
whereas
before
that
time
,
the
Marshals
;
had
no
other
than
a
wooden
staffe
,
as
other
the
Great
Officers
have
at
Court
.
Before
this
time
,
they
were
L.
Marshals
only
,
as
before
I
said
.
For
howsoever
the
title
of
E.
Marshall
and
Comes
Marescallus
,
doth
many
times
occurre
in
our
antient
histories
.
Yet
I
conceive
that
it
was
only
giventhem
then
by
the
courtesie
or
curiality
of
England
,
because
the
Office
in
those
dayes
was
vested
in
the
person
of
none
but
Earles
;
as
by
the
like
mistake
or
courtefie
,
we
find
the
title
of
Comes
Seneschallus
,
and
Comes
Constabularius
▪
〈◊〉
some
old
Records
.
The
manour
of
Hamsted
Marshall
in
the
County
of
Berkshire
,
was
held
of
old
by
Grand
Sergianty
of
the
Kings
of
England
;
conditioned
that
the
Grantees
should
for
ever
be
the
K.
Marshals
,
according
as
the
Offices
of
Steward
,
Constable
,
and
Lord
High
Chamberlaine
,
in
those
times
were
granted
.
What
the
authority
and
jurisdiction
is
of
this
great
Officer
,
we
regard
not
here
,
it
being
our

MONMOVTH
.
Monmouth-shire
is
the
neerest
shire
of
Wales
,
though
it
desires
rather
to
be
accounted
a
part
of
England
,
and
is
indeed
included
in
the
circuit
of
the
English
Iudges
.
It
lieth
upon
the
North
of
the
river
Sevorn
,
there
where
it
groweth
into
a
Sea
,
the
East
parts
full
of
grasse
and
woods
,
the
West
somewhat
hilly
,
and
stony
withall
;
yet
not
unprofitable
to
the
husbandman
,
if
he
be
not
wanting
to
himselfe
.
It
takes
name
from
the
chiefe
Town
Monmouth
,
and
that
from
being
seated
on
the
mouth
of
the
River
M
〈…〉
,
there
where
it
shoores
into
the
Wye
.
It
was
the
Barony
once
of
Iohn
L.
of
Monmouth
,
on
whose
attaindure
it
was
setled
in
the
house
of
Lancasier
;
from
whom
it
after
did
receive
great
priviledges
and
immunities
,
which
they
still
enjoy
.
Henry
the
f●r
,
son
unto
King
Henry
the
fourth
(
the
first
of
the
Lancastrian
Family
)
was
in
this
place
borne
,
(
which
stiewes
that
noble
Family
so
highly
prized
it
,
to
make
it
their
dwelling
)
and
was
from
hence
called
Henry
of
Monmouth
.
That
one
particular
enough
,
to
renown
the
place
,
and
therefore
we
shall
adde
no
more
.
It
is
belonging
still
to
the
home
of
Lancaster
,
as
to
the
possession
,
being
dependent
on
the
Dutchy
;
and
not
much
aliened

NEWPORT
.
NEwport
is
the
chiefe
Town
of
the
Isle

,
called
in
times
past
Medena
,
afterwards
No●us
burgus
de
Meden
,
and
by
us
now
,
Newport
.
A
Town
well
seated
and
much
frequented
,
and
withall
populous
in
it selfe
;
which
most
ariseth
from
the
benefit
of
a
little
haven
capable
of
vessels
of
the
smaller
burden
,
which
come
up
to
the

For

it

NORFOLK
.
NOrfolk
is
the
greatest
County
of
Eng.
next
to
Yorksh
.
but
far
more
populous
than
that
;
as
comprehending
in
the
whole
660
Parish
Churches
,
of
which
27
are
market
towns
.
It
antiently
was
a
part
of
the
Iceni
,
and
next
the
Northern
part
of
the
Kingdome
of
the
East-Angles
,
from
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Northfolk
,
as
hath
the
Southern
people
of
it
,
the
name
of
Southfolk
.
The
soyle
according
to
the
variety
of
places
is
of
different
nature
;
in
some
fat
,
rank
,
and
full
of
moysture
;
in
others
very
light
and
sandy
:
yet
so
that
one
contributing
unto
the
other
,
and
the
sea
giving
help
to
both
,
it
is
a
very
plentifull
country
for
corne
,
sheep
and
fish
.
The
people
norably
industrious
both
for
plough
and
manufactures
;
in
somuch
that
one
shall
hardly
see
a
begger
throughout
all
the
Countrey
:
And
yet
(
which
makes
the
merveile
much
the
greater
)
they
are
notable
wranglers
,
well
versed
and
studied
in
the
quirks
of
Law
,
and
consequently
create
more
work
for
the
Assises
,
than
almost
all
the
circuit
else
.
But
then
it
is
observed
withall
,
that
this
disposition
hath
brought
some
reputation
with
it
,
as
furnishing
the
Courts
of
Iustice
with
many
an
eminent
man
in
the
laws
of
Eng
:
and
yeelding
generally
the
best
breed
of
Lawyers
.
It
is
observed
,
by
a
great
antiquary
of
this
Kingd
.
that
in
this
County
are
100
Families
of
antient
Gentry
,
which
never
were
attainted
of
high
treason
,
which
if
it
be
true
,
the
Gentry
of
Norfolk
have
had
better
fortune
than
the
Dukes
and
Earles
.

NORTHAMPTON
.
THe
County
of
Northampton
,
is
situate
almost
in
the
very
middle
and
heart
of
Eng.
A
Champion
Countrey
for
the
most
part
,
exceeding
populous
,
and
so
replenished
with
Townes
and
Churches
,
(
being
in
all
326
,
whereof
10
are
markets
)
that
in
some
places
there
are
20
or
30
steeples
to
be
seen
at
once
.
The
soyle
exceeding
fertile
both
for
tillage
and
pasture
,
maintaining
numerous
flocks
of
sheep
,
and
herds
of
cartell
;
but
somewhat
destitute
of
woods
.
It
takes
name
from
Northampton
,
the
chiefe
towne
thereof
,
seated
upon
the
river
Nen
;
which
antiently
called
A●fona
,
but
corruptly
Antona
,
bestowed
this
name
upon
the
town
,
being
indeed
built
on
the
Northern
bank
.
A
town
which
for
the
beauty
and
circuit
of
it
,
may
be
well
ranked
with
many
Cities
of
the
Kingdome
:
and
heretofore
so
safe
and
sure
by
reason
of
the
strong
wals
,
(
from
whence
there
is
a
goodly
prospect
into
all
the
County
)
&
a
strong
Castle
,
no●
demolished
;
that
once
the
students
of
Cambridge
had
a
purpose
to
remove
their
Vniversity
unto
it
.
This
strength
however
made
it
obnoxious
to
some
disadvantage
,
as
being
a
place
much
aimed
at
in
our
Civill
wars
,
and
many
a
battaile
fought
about
it
,
Yet
never
were
the
times
so
turbulent
,
or
the
place
so
dangerous
,
but
that
there
were
some
persons
of
superior
ranke
,
who
did
afsect
the
name
,
and
enjoy
the
title
of
Earles
and
Marq.
of
Northampton
.

Northumberland
is
a
more
contracted
namenow
,
than
in
former
times
.
Heretofore
it
included
all
the
Countries
on
the
North
of
Humber
,
possessed
of
old
by
the
Brigantes
,
and
the
Ottadini
,
now
only
the
extreame
and
most
northerne
part
,
betwixt
the
rivers
of
Tine
and
Twede
,
all
which
the
Ottadini
once
inhabited
.
The
aire
exceeding
sharp
and
piercing
,
as
being
often
visited
with
boystrous
winds
,
hard
frosts
,
and
tedious
snows
;
to
remedy
which
it
yeelds
abundance
of
sea-coale
for
fuell
,
and
at
very
cheap
rates
.
The
soyle
in
generall
neither
fertile
for
corn
or
pasturage
,
as
being
for
the
most
part
exceeding
rough
and
very
hard
to
be
manured
,
only
in
some
parts
towards
the
sea
,
by
the
late
industry
of
the
ploughman
,
and
benefit
of
sea-weed
,
wherewith
they
do
improve
their
ground
,
it
is
become
indifferent
fruitfull
.
The
Countrey
meanly
populous
,
and
but
ill
inhabited
;
partly
by
reason
of
the
barrenness
:
of
the
Country
,
as
before
is
said
,
and
partly
for
the
bad
neighbourhood
of
the
Scots
,
as
commonly
it
is
in
March-lands
▪
or
frontier
countreyes
.
In
this
regard
,
it
had
almost
as
many
Castles
for
defence
of
themselves
,
as
is
Parish
Churches
for
the
service
of
God
,
there
being
26
of
the
one
,
and
but
46
of
the
other
;
but
then
withall
the
Parishes
were
and
are
exceeding
large
,
and
have
many
Chappels
of
case
perteining
to
them
,
which
inconvenience
of
the
soyle
&
seas
may
possibly
have
beene
the
reason
why
the
possession
of
it
held
not
long
in
any
Family
(
although
the
title
and
possession
of
it
had
been
given
to
many
)
untill
the
Percyes
:
who
not
without
some
interruption
too
,
have
continued
long
.
By
reason
of
which
intermixture
of
severall
Families
;
it
hath
given
to
those
Families
the
severall
titles
of
Duke
,
and
Earles
of
Northumberland

NORWICH
.
NOrwich
is
the
chiefe
City
of
Norfolk
,
and
took
that
name
as
did
the
County
,
from
the
Northern
situation
of
it
.
It
standeth
upon
the
river
of
Yare
,
which
runs
thence
to
Yarmouth
,
lying
out
in
length
a
mile
and
an
half
;
not
above
halfe
so
much
in
breadth
,
and
in
that
space
conteineth
about
30
Parishes
;
well
walled
about
with
many
a
turret
,
and
12
gates
for
entrance
.
A
City
which
for
faire
buildings
,
and
resort
of
people
,
the
painefull
industry
of
the
common
sort
,
the
great
humanity
of
the
richer
,
and
the
firme
loyalty
of
all
,
in
seditious
times
,
may
justly
be
accounted
the
3
of
England
.
Amongst
the
buildings
those
of
speciall
note
(
next
unto
their
Churches
)
are
the
2
Palaces
of
the
D.
of
Norfolk
,
and
earles
of
Surrey
.
And
for
the
wealth
and
opulence
,
which
it
now
enjoyeth
,
it
standeth
much
indebted
to
the
Netherlanders
,
who
flying
from
the
D.
of
Alva
,
and
the
Inquisition
,
brought
with
them
the
making
of
baies
and
sayes
and
other
manufactures
;
whereby
the
poore
are
set
on
work
,
and
the
rich
grow
pursie
.
A
place
that
hath
been
honored
long
with
a
see
Episcopall
,
but
never
made
a
title
of
Civill
honour

NOTTINGHAM
.
Nottinghamsh
,
antiently
was
a
part
of
the
Coritani
,
well
watred
with
the
river
of
Trent
,
and
many
other
pleasant
streames
.
The
people
generally
divide
it
into
the
sand
,
and
the
clay
;
that
being
the
E.
part
,
taking
up
the
forrest
of
Sherwood
,
famous
for
Rob.
Ho●d
,
and
his
companions
,
this
being
the
South
,
and
Eastern
part
,
more
fruitfull
,
and
more
fit
for
corne
;
and
throughout
well
furnished
both
with
wood
and
coale
.
It
conteineth
in
it
168
▪
Parishes
,
of
which
the
chiefe
,
and
that
from
whence
the
shire
takes
name
is
Nottingham
.
A
Town
well
seated
on
the
Trent
,
though
very
high
upon
an
hill
which
overlookes
it
:
for
buildings
,
and
faire
streets
,
and
a
spatious
market
place
,
not
giving
way
to
many
Cities
.
But
that
which
gave
the
greatest
ornament
unto
it
,
was
indeed
the
Castle
,
a
Royall
and
magnificent
building
,
which
for
strength
,
statelinesse
,
and
command
of
prospect
,
may
justly
challenge
the
precedency
of
the
best
in
Eng.
Of
Martimets
hole
there
,
who
was
hence
haled
to
his
execution
,
and
of
the
long
imprisonment
which
David
K.
of
Scots
here
suffred
,
the
people
areas
good
as
a
common
Chronicle
,
and
intermixe
too
,
not
a
few
Fables
with
the
truth
of
story
.
But
that
which
we
have
good
record
for
,
without
fraud
or
fiction
,
is
that
it
hath
afforded
in
successive
Ages
,
these
Lords
and
Earles
of
Nottingham
.

OXFORD
.
OXford-shire
is
a
part
of
the
Dobuni
,
situated
North-ward
of
the
Thames
,
which
parteth
it
all
along
from
Berk
shire
.
A
plentifull
and
fruitfull
Countrey
,
wherein
the
plaines
are
garnished
with
cornefields
and
meadows
,
the
hils
well
covered
with
woods
and
the
downes
with
sheep
,
and
wanting
in
no
kind
of
pleasure
,
which
either
hawke
or
hound
can
afford
a
Gentleman
.
It
conteines
in
it
,
being
no
great
circuit
,
270
Parish
Churches
,
and
10
market
townes
,
the
chiefe
of
which
in
name
and
beauty
,
giving
denomination
to
the
County
,
is
the
famous
City
and
Vniversity
of
Oxford
.
A
faire
and
goodly
City
,
both
for
site
and
building
;
whether
one
look
on
the
magnificence
of
the
publique
structures
,
or
the
compacted
uniformity
of
private
houses
.
And
sure
it
may
be
said
without
immodesty
and
heard
without
dislike
or
envy
,
that
for
the
statelinesse
of
the
Schooles
and
publique
Library
;
the
bravery
and
beauty
of
particular
Colledges
,
all
built
of
faire
and
polished
stone
;
the
liberall
endowments
of
those
houses
,
and
notable
incouragements
of
industry
and
learning
in
the
salary
of
the
Professors
in
most
Arts
and
Sciences
;
it
is
not
to
be
parallelled
in
the
Christian
world
:
and
for
the
number
of
her
studens
,
and
the
well
ordering
of
those
Students
by
good
laws
and
ordinances
,
not
to
be
equalled
by
any
but
her
sister
Cambridge
.
From
whencè
it
had
the
name
of
Oxford
,
is
adhuc
sub
judice
:
whether
of
Vad
〈…〉
Isidos
,
the
ford
of
Ouse
or
Isis
,
on
whose
banks
it
stands
,
and
so
called
Ousford
;
or
Vada
boum
,
the
ford
of
Oxen
(
as
the
Greeks
had
their
B●sphori
in
former
times
)
I
determine
not
.
Suffice
it
that
this
name
is
very
antient
,
and
that
it
antiently
hath
beene
an
Vniversity
or
seat
of
learning
;
in
which
respect
,
it
hath
co-evity
with
that
of
Paris
,
if
not
priority
above
it
,
as
being
refounded
by
K.
Alfred
,
Anno
806
,
after
it
had
been
overborne
a
while
by
the
Danish
fury
.
Colledges
it
conteineth
in
all
18.
Hals
for
students
6
,
and
about
13
Parish
Churches
.
It
is
moreover
a
see
Episcopall
,
and
it
hath
withall
received
no
small
honour
from
the
noble
Family
of
the
Veres
,
who
now
for
20
generations
have
been
Earles
of
Oxford

PEMBROKE
.
PEmbrok-shire
was
inhabited
of
old
by
the
Dimetae
,
a
Countrey
quite
surrounded
by
the
Sea
,
save
where
it
joyneth
unto
Cardigan
and
Carmarthen
shires
.
A
Countrey
plentiful
in
corne
and
Cattell
,
not
destitute
of
pit
coale
;
and
which
is
far
above
the
rest
(
as
Giraldus
tels
us
)
considering
that
it
is
to
neare
to
Ireland
,
of
a
temperate
and
wholesome
Aire
.
It
conteines
in
it
140
Parish
Churches
,
and
5
Markets
;
that
which
is
most
of
note
being
Milford
,
renowned
for
its
safe
and
capacious
haven
.
But
that
from
which
it
takes
denomination
,
is
the
town
of
Pembrok
,
seated
upon
a
forked
arme
of
Milford
haven
,
and
in
the
best
part
of
all
the
Countrey
.
A
town
consisting
principally
of
one
long
street
on
a
long
narrow
point
of
rock
;
and
hath
within
the
wals
thereof
,
two
Churches
.
The
Earles
here
of
in
former
times
were
County
Palatines
,
and
passed
al
things
that
concerned
that
County
under
the
seale
of
the
Earldom
.
And
it
continued
so
untill
the
reigne
of
H.
8.
when
as
Wales
was
reduced
to
England
,
and
the
authority
of
the
great
Lords
there
,
dissolved
by
Parliament
.
Since
which
the
Earles
of
Pembrok
have
been
meerely
titular
,
as
of
other
places
,
and
of
each
sort
were
these
in
their

PETERBVRGH
.
OF
Peterburgh
,
as
it
is
an
Episcopall
see
,
we
have
spoke
already
and
have
not
much
to
adde
of
it
,
as
it
hath
the
title
of
an
Earldom
.
It
standeth
in
the
very
nooke
or
angle
of
Northampton-shire
;
where
formerly
had
been
a
gulfe
or
whirle
poole
of
exceeding
depth
:
but
made
firme
ground
by
Wolpher
K.
of
the
Mercians
,
when
with
great
paines
and
diligence
,
he
laid
the
foundation
of
the
Church
.
A
Town
,
but
for
the
Church
,
of
no
great
note
,
as
standing
out
of
the
way
for
trade
and
traffick
,
and
seated
in
no
plausible
place
;
whether
one
look
to
health
or
pleasure
.
Yet
by
occasion
of
the
Abbey
in
the
former
times
,
and
now
by
reason
of
the
Bishop
there
;
it
drawes
resort
of
people
for
dispatch
of
businesse
,
hath
a
large
marketplace
,
a
faire
Parish
Church
,
and
a
handsome
streets
.
Of
late
unto
the
Ecclesiasticall
relation
of
it
is
joyned
an
honourary
,
it
pleasing

now

PORTLAND
.
POrtland
,
was
once
a
little
Island
,
but
now
adjoyneth
to
the
mainland
of
Dorset-shire
,
lieth
full
against
the
good
town
of
Weymouth
,
and
seemes
to
take
this
name
from
Port
,
a
noble
Saxon
,
who
about
the
yeare
703
infested
and
annoyed
these
Coasts
,
and
made
here
his
station
.
It
is
not
above
7
miles
in
compasse
;
and
very
scatteringly
inhabited
;
but
plentifull
enough
of
corne
,
and
good
for
pastures
.
On
the
East
side
it
hath
a
Church
on
the
North
a
Castle
,
which
seems
to
guard
the
entrance
of
Weymouth
haven
.
But
however
it
was
in
former
times
,
it
is
now
remarkable
,
it
gave

RICHMOND
.
RIchmond-shire
is
no
County
of
it selfe
,
but
a
part
of
York-shire
lying
towards
the
North-west
,
with
rugged
rocks
and
swelling
mountaines
,
whose
sides
in
some
places
be
are
good
grasse
,
the
bottomes
underneath
not
being
unfruitfull
;
and
in
the
hils
themselves
are
found
good
mines
of
lead
and
pit-coale
.
The
chiefe
Town
of
the
whole
is
Richmond
,
of
a
small
circuit
in
the
wals
,
but
by
reason
of
the
Suburbs
lying
out
in
length
,
very
well
peopled
and
frequented
.
A
Town
first
built
by
Alane
E.
of
Bretagne
,
the
first
E.
here
,
after
the
entrance
of
the
Normans
,
who
fenced
it
with
a
wall
and
a
most
strong
Castle
,
the
better
to
assure
these
parts
against
the
English
,
and
having
finished
,
the
same
according
to
his
own
content
,
gave
it
the
name
of
Richmount
,
as
a
place
equally
participating
of
strength
and
beauty
.
It
standeth
on
the
banks
of
the
river
of
Swale
,
which
with
a
mighty
noise
runneth
underneath
it
:
A
River
reputed
very
sacred
by
antient
English
,
for
that
in
it
,
Paulius
the
first
Archb.
of
Yorke
baptized
in
one
day
above
10010
men
,
besides
women
and
children
.
The
Earles
of
Bretagne
for
a
long
time
together
continued
in
the
title
and
possession
of
this
Countrey
:
Since
it
hath
been
bestowed
upon
other
Families
,
who
in
their
severall
times
have
been
adorned
with
the
stile
of
Dukes
and
Earles
of
Richmond

RIVERS
.
THe
title
of
Earle
Rivers
is
of
different
nature
from
all
the
rest
of
England
,
those
being
locall
(
that
of
E.
Marsh
,
excepted
)
and
this
nominall
:
those
taking
their
denomination
from
some
speciall
place
,
and
this
from
an
illustrious
Family
.
The
antient
name
was
Redvers
,
or
de
Ripariis
;
thence
it
came
to
Rivers
.
At
first
they
were
but
Barons
of
Plimpton
in
the
County
of
Devon
;
after
they
came
to
bee
Earles
of
Devonsh
.
which
title
8
of
them
enjoyed
successively
,
and
then
the
masculine
issue
failing
,
the
name
and
patrimony
both
were
lost
amongst
the
female
or
heires
generall
.
From
some
of
these
,
as
〈◊〉
conjecture
,
came
S.
Rich.
Woddeville
,
whom
first
K.
H.
6.
advanced
unto
the
honourable
title
of
L.
Rivers
,
and
after
Edw.
4.
marrying
his
daughter
,
advanced
him
higher
,
and
made
him
E.
Rivers
.
Which
title
ending
in
the
3
E.
of
this
name
and
Family
,
was
since
again
revived
in
the
honourable
houses
of
Darcy
and
Savage
,
this
last
deriving
a
descent
hereto
by
the
line
of
Worcester
,
&
Huntington
,
from
one
of
the
daught
.
and
coheires
of
the

and

RVTLAND
.
RUtland
,
for
quantity
,
is
the
least
Country
of
Eng.
for
quality
not
inferior
to
the
very
best
,
as
being
a
pleasant
and
fruitfull
Countrey
,
especially
about
the
vale
of
Catmosse
.
The
earth
thereof
is
generally
very
red
of
colour
,
so
red
that
even
the
fleeces
of
the
sheep
are
coloured
with
it
;
in
which
regard
it
had
the
name
of
Rudland
,
the
Saxons
calling
that
Rud
,
which
we
now
call
Red
,
as
we
retaine
the
use
of
Ruddy
still
;
in
the
selfe-same
sence
.
Heretofore
it
was
reckoned
for
a

not
made
a
County
till
of

and
now
again
is
laid

SALISBVRY
.
SAlisbury
is
the
chiefe
City
of
Wilish
.
antiently
called
Sorbiodunum
,
which
name
it
held
untill
the
entrance
of
the
Saxons
,
who
gave
new
names
and
laws
to
all
parts
of
Eng.
It
was
at
first
seated
high
upon
an
hill
,
as
being
a
place
designed
for
strength
and
war
,
yet
honored
for
a
while
with
a
Bishops
see
,
and
a
faire
Cathedrall
.
But
the
Bishops
and
the
Clergy
finding
no
good
quarter
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
which
were
there
in
garrison
,
and
being
destitute
of
water
on
so
dryan
hill
;
about
the
time
of
Rich.
1
,
began
to
leave
it
,
and
plant
themselves
down
lower
by
the
water
side
.
Being
once
setled
there
,
and
raising
a
new
Minster
for
Gods
publike
service
,
the
people
also
followed
after
,
and
left
old
Sarum
to
it self
,
which
in
short
space
became
so
totally
deserted
,
that
now
the
ruines
of
it
are
hardly
visible
.
But
for
new
Salisbury
,
that
grew
up
presently
into
great
renown
,
pleasantly
seated
on
the
river
,
which
watreth
every
street
thereof
,
and
for
the
populousnesse
of
the
place
,
plenty
of
provision
,
a
spacious
market
place
,
and
a
faire
Townhall
,
is
esteemed
to
be
the
second
City
of
all
this
Tract.
And
which
addes
no
small
lustre
to
it
,
a
place
that
hath
been
very
fortunate
in
those
ominent
persons
,
on
whom
the
Kings
of
England
have
bestowed
the
title
of
Earles
of
Salisbury
.

SHREWSBVRY
.
SHrewsbury
is
the
principall
town
in
Shropshire
,
called
by
our
Ancestors
the
Saxons
Scrobbesbyrig
,
for
that
it
was
of
old
a
very
thicket
of
shrobs
.
A
place
that
rose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Uriconium
,
seated
not
far
off
;
but
grew
not
into
any
great
request
till
the
Norman
Conquest
.
The
town
stands
neatly
on
a
hill
,
and
is
almost
incompassed
round
by
the
river
Severn
:
that
part
thereof
which
is
not
fenced
by
the
River
,
being
fortified
with
a
very
strong
Castle
built
by
Roger
de
Montgomery
,
the
first
E.
hereof
.
A
faire
and
goodly
Town
it
is
,
well
traded
and
frequented
by
all
sorts
of
people
both
Welch
&
Eng.
by
reason
of
the
trade
of
cloth
,
and
other
merchandise
;
this
being
the
common
mart
or
empory
between
Wales
&
Eng.
It
standeth
in
the
very
midst
or
center
,
as
it
were
,
of
the
whole
County
,
which
generally
is
inferiour
unto
none
about
it
,
for
delight
and
plenty
;
and
for
the
number
of
Townes
and
Castles
standing
exceeding
thick
on
every
side
(
as
having
formerly
been
a
frontier-Country
)
very
far
above
them
.
It
belonged
antiently
to
the
Cornavii
,
and
presently
on
the
Norman
Conquest
,
was
bestowed
on
Roger
de
Montgom
,
whom
before
I
spake
of
,
who
and
his
successors
,
and
since
them
the
honorable
Family
of
the
Talbots
,
enjoyed
the
stile
and
title
of
Earles

SOMERSET
.
SOmersetsh
,
antiently
was
inhabited
by
the
Belgae
.
A
Country
of
a
fertile
soyle
,
both
for
corne
and
pasture
,
exceeding
populous
(
as
comprehending
in
the
whole
385
Parish
Churches
,
where
of
33
are
market
towns
)
&
furnished
also
with
commodious
havens
for
trade
and
traffick
.
A
Country
howsoever
pleasant
in
the
Summer
season
;
yet
in
the
Winter
time
so
deep
&
miery
,
that
it
is
scarce
passable
;
from
whence
the
people
have
a
proverb
,
that
it
is
bad
for
the
Rider
,
but
good
for
the
abider
.
Yet
in
some
parts
thereof
,
those
specially
which
are
towards
Wiltsh
.
it
is
both
hilly
and
stony
;
but
in
the
bowels
of
those
hils
,
particularly
in
those
of
Mendip
,
they
find
rich
veines
of
lead
,
to
the
great
enriching
of
the
Country
,
and
benefit
to
all
the
Kingd
.
It
took
this
name
from
Somerton
,
once
the
most
famous
and
considerable
in
all
the
County
,
now
a
small
market
Town
of
no
note
nor
credit
,
but
for
a
faire
of
Cattell
which
is
kept
there
yearely
;
in
which
respect
Asserius
calls
it
,
Comitatum
Somertunensem
,
or
Somertonsh
.
But
by
the
name
of
Somerset
it
is
now
best
known
,
and
by
that
name
hath
given
the
honorary
title
of
Dukes

is
the
2
Town
of
Hamp-shire
,
in
bignesse
and
circuit
,
but
not
inferiour
to
the
first
for
wealth
and
riches
.
A
Towne
commodiously
seated
on
an
arme
of
the
sea
,
and
capable
of
ships
of
burden
to
the
very
Keie
;
the
opportunity
whereof
hath
made
it
very
faire
and
populous
,
as
having
in
it
〈◊〉
Churches
for
Gods
publique
service
,
fenced
with
strong
wals
and
a
double
ditch
,
and
to
secure
the
haven
with
a
right
strong
Castle
,
which
now
time
hath
ruined
.
It
standeth
on
the
banks
of
the
river
of
Anton
,
(
which
rising
about
Andover
,
runs
here
into
the
Sea
)
from
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Southampton
and
by
that
name
hath
given
denomination
to
the
whole
Countrey
,
though
generally
it
be
called
Hamp-shire
.
A
Country
rich
in
all
commodities
,
both
of
sea
and
land
,
and
in
the
upper
parts
thereof
,
those
which
are
farthest
from
the
sea
,
of
a
very
pure
and
excellent
aire
.
It
conteines
in
it
253
Parishes
,
many
of
which
have
Chappels
of
ease
as
big

To
return
back
unto
the
Town
,
which
though
it
bee
within
the
County
,
yet
is
a
County
in
it self
(
for
which
it
stands
beholding
to
K.
H.
6.
)
And
both

A
town
well
peopled
and
of
great
resort
,
conteining
about
7
Parish
Churches
.
But
that
which
gives
it
most
renown
,
is
that
upon
some
quarrell
and
contention
between
the
Southern
and
Northern
men
in
the
Vniversity
of
Oxford
,
the
Schollers
in
the
reign
of
King
Edw.

schooles
of
al
sorts
of
learning
.
Nor
did
they
leave
the
place
,
or
return
again
,
untill
they
were
commanded
so
to
do
by
the
Kings
Proclamation
,
and
thereupon
it
was
ordeined
in
the
Vniversity
,
that
the
Schollers
in
the
taking
of
their
degrees
,
should
make
oath
,
not
to
reade
publiquely
at
Stamford
,
to
the

SURREY
.
SUrrey
and
Sussex
antiently
were
inhabited
by
the
Regni
,
and
afterwards
made
up
the
Kingdome
of
the
South-Saxons
.
This
lieth
on
the
South
of
the
river
Thames
,
whence
it
had
the
name
;
the
Saxons
calling
that
Rea
,
which
we
call
a
River
:
and
so
from
Suthrea
,
came
the
name
of
Surrey
.
A
Countrey
on
the
outward
parts
thereof
very
rich
and
fruitfull
,
especially
on
that
side
which
is
towards
the
Thames
,
where
it
yeelds
plenty
both
of
corne
and
grasse
;
but
in
the
middle
part
,
somewhat
hard
and
barren
.
From
whence
the
people
use
to
say
,
that
their
Countrey
is
like
a
course
peece
of
cloth
,
with
a
fine
list
.
And
yet
the
middle
parts
thereof
what
they
want
in
riches
,
they
supply
with
pleasures
as
being
famous
for
good
aire
,
and
well
stored
with
parks
;
the
downes
affording
excellent
opportunity
aswell
for
horse-races
,
as
hunting
.
A
Country
finally
it
is
of
no
great
quantity
,
and
yet
conteines
140
Parishes
(
of
the
which
8
are
market
townes
)
and
amongst
them
the
Royall
mansions
of
Richmond
,
Otelands
and
None-such
.
The
chiefe
town
of
the
whole
is
Guilford
,
a
fine
neat
town
,
seated
on
the
declining
of
an
hill
toward
the
river
Mole
,
consisting
of
3
Parish
Churches
;
which
notwithstanding
never
gave
title
unto
any
,
of
Lord
,
Earle
or
higher
.
But
that
defect
hath
beene
supplied
by
the
whole
body
of
the
County
,
in
the
name
of
Surrey
,
with
which
our
Kings
have
dignified
these
Dukes
and
Earles
.

SVSSEX
.
SUssex
is
the
other
part
of
the
old
possessions
of
the
Regnians
after
that
of
the
South-Saxons
,
from
whom
it
took
the
name
of
Suthsex
.
A
Country
that
lyeth
all
along
the
Ocean
in
a
goodly
length
,
extending
East
and
West
above
60
miles
;
and
yet
for
all
so
long
a
Coast
hath
very
few
havens
,
the
shore
being
full
of
rocks
and
shelves
,
and
the
wind
impetuous
.
The
Northerne
parts
towards
Kent
&
Surrey
are
well
shaded
with
woods
,
as
was
all
the
Country
heretofore
,
untill
the
Iron
works
consumed
them
.
The
Southerne
parts
which
are
towards
the
sea
,
lying
upon
a
chalke
or
marle
,
yeeld
corne
abundantly
;
with
a
delightfull
intermixture
of
groves
and
meadows
.
It
conteines
in
it
to
the
number
of
312
Parishes
,
of
which
18
are
market
towns
.
And
amongst
these
the
chief
of
note
is
Chichester
,
of
which
we
need
say
nothing
here
,
having
spoke
of
it
in
its
proper
place
,
amongst
the
Bishopricks
.
It
now
rests
only
that
I
give
you
a
compendious
Catalogue
of
the
Earles
of
Sussex

THANET
.
THanet
is
a
little
Island
in
the
North-East
of
Kent
,
environed
on
3
parts
by
the
sea
,
&
towards
the
West
,
severed
from
the
main-land
of
Kent
,
by
the
river
of
S●ourc
,
which
is
here
called
Yenlade
.
An
Island
by
Solinus
called
Atlanatos
,
in
some
copies
Thanatos
;
from
whence
the
Saxons
had
their
Thanet
,
famous
as
in
other
things
,
so
in
these
particulars
,
that
it
was
here
the
Sax
,
landed
when
they
came
first
for
Britani
;
and
that
S.
Austin
the
Monk
here
landed
also
,
when
he
brought
the
Gospel
to
the
Saxons
.
The
whole
about
8.
m.
in
leng
.
and
4
in
brea
,
was
reckoned
then
to
hold
about
600
Families
:
and
is
now
very
populous
for
the
bignesse
,
and
very
plentiful
withall
of
all
commodities
necessary
,
but
of
corn
especially
.
The
people
generally
are
a
kind
of
Amphibii
,
and
get
their
livings
both
by
sea
and
land
,
being
well
skilled
according
to
the
year
,
aswel
in
stearing
of
a
ship
at
sea
,
as
holding
of
the
plough
at
land
;
&
in
both
courses
notably
industrious
.
Such
is
the
Isle
of
Tha●et
,
which
was
of

times
made
the
title
of
an

TOTNES
.
TOtnes
is
a
Town
in
the
Southwest
of
Devonshire
,
situate
on
the
banks
of
the
River
of
Dert
,
about
6
miles
from
its
influxe
into
the
Sea
.
An
ancient
little
Town
it
is
,
and
standeth
on
the
fall
of
an
hill
,
lying
East

West
.
It
hath
a
Major

since
the
time
of

;
and
being
a

town
withall
,
hath
a

in

.
The
greatest
reputation
which
it
had
in

,
was
that
it
gave
the
title
of
an
Arch-deacon
,

WARWICK
.
WArwickshire
heretofore
was
part
of
the
Cornavii
,
a
Country
which
for
aire
and
soyle
,
wants
nothing
for
the
profit
or
pleasure
of
man
.
It
is
divided
into
two
parts
by
the
river
Avon
,
that
on
the
South
side
being
cald
the
Feldon
,
which
yeelds
good
store
of
corn
,
and
grasse
,
and
makes
a
lovely
prospect
from
the
neighbouring
hils
;
that
on
the
North
being
called
the
Woodland
,
from
the
great
plenty
of
woods
which
grew
here
formerly
,
but
nowgrown
thin
enough
by
the
making
of
iron
.
It
conteineth
in
it
158
Parishes
and
market
towns
;
of
which
the
chief
(
if
one
exclude
Coventry
as
a
County
of
it selfe
)
is
that
of
Warwick
,
called
by
the
Romans
antiently
Praesidi
〈…〉
,
from
the
garrison
there
,
which
name
it
still
retained
in
a
different
language
.
A
town
adorned
with
very
faire
houses
,
a
strong
and
well
compact
stone
bridge
on
the
river
Avon
,
and
two
goodly
Churches
▪
But
the
chief
beauty
of
it
heretofore
,
as
now
,
is
a
most
stately
and
magnificent
Castle
;
which
as
it
was
of
late
repaired
at
the
great
cost
and
charges
of
Sir
Fulk
Gre●ill
,
the
late
L.
Broks
,
who
therein
dwelt
;
so
was
it
antiently
the
seat
and
abiding
place
of
the
Dukes
and
Earles
of
Warwick
.

WESTMORLAND
.
WEst
morland
was
a
part
of
the
possessions
of
the
old
Brigantes
,
and
lyeth
on
the
West
of
York-sh
.
from
whence
and
from
the
Mores
,
as
they
call
them
here
(
that
is
,
those
barren
heathy
grounds
,
which
are
not
tractable
for
corn
)
it
was
named
West-more-land
.
The
ayre
accounted
sharp
and
piercing
;
the
soyle
in
most
parts
barren
and
unprofitable
;
yet
in
the
Vales
,
which
are
neither
large
nor
many
,
indifferently
fruitfull
.
So
that
the
greatest
profit
and
commodity
,
which
here
the
people
make
unto
themselves
,
is
by
the
benefit
and
trade
of
cloathing
.
It
containes
in
it
only
26
Parishes
,
which
plainly
shews
that
either
the
Countrey
is
not
very
populous
,
or
that
the
Parishes
are
exceeding
large
,
as
generally
indeed
they
are
,
in
these
Northerne
parts
;
4
of
those
26
are
market
towns
,
the
chiefe
of
which
next
Kendale
(
which
wee
spake
of
formerly
)
is
called
Appleby
,
and
passeth
for
the
shire
town
or
head
of
the
Countie
.
The
Viponts
antiently
,
and
by
them
the
Clyffords
were
the
hereditary
Sherifs
hereof
;
which
notwithstanding
,
it
pleased

to
adde

the
titles
of

WILTSHIRE
.
WIlish
belonging
to
the
Relgae
in
the
former
times
,
took
this
new
name
from
Wilton
,
once
the
chief
town
of
it
;
like
as
it
of
the
river
Willy
,
on
the
which
it
standeth
.
A
region
which
as
it
breeds
a
race
of
hardy
men
,
who
in
old
time
,
with
those
of
Devonsh
.
&
Cornwal
,
chalenged
the
seconding
of
the
main
battaille
in
our
Eng.
armies
;
so
is
it
very
plentifull
and
fruitfull
,
and
withall
very
pleasant
and
delightsome
.
The
middle
parts
thereof
,
which
they
call
the
Plaines
,
are
most
scant
of
corne
;
but
those
plaines
being
large
and
spacious
,
&
reaching
round
about
to
the
horizon
,
do
feed
innumerable
flocks
of
sheep
,
which
bring
as
great
commodity
to
the
inhabitants
by
their
fleece
&
wool
,
and
the
most
gamefull
trad
of
cloathing
,
as
other
parts
that
are
more
fertile
.
It
conteineth
in
it
304
Parish
,
&
is
traded
in
19
market
towns
;
the
chiefe
and
fairest
are
Salisbury
and
Marlborough
,
which
before
we
spake
of
Wilton
was
formerly
the
principall
,
&
heretofore
a
Bishops
see
,
honored
with
the
residence
of
9
severall
Bishops
:
But
by
translating
of
the
see
to
Salisbury
,
and
carrying
thither
therewithal
the
throughfare
into
the
West
countrey
,
which
before
was
here
,
it
fel
by
little
and
little
to
decay
,
and
is
now
hardly
worth
the
reputation
of
a
poor
market
town
,
yet
still
it
gives
denomination
to
the
Country
:
as
that
the
stile
and
honor
to
these
Earles
of
Wiltshire
.

WINCHELSEY
.
WInchelsey
is
a
sea
.
Town
in
the
East
part
of
Sussex
,
where
it
adjoyneth
upon
Kent
,
accounted
'
by
a
general
error
to
be
open
of
the
Cinq
Ports
;
whereas
indeed
it
is
no
Cinq
port
,
but
a
member
of
them
,
as
Rhit
and
〈…〉
sham
,
and
others
are
.
A
Towne
in
former
times
of
great
strength
and
beauty
,
inclosed
with
strong
wals
,
and
a
well
placed
Rampier
,
for
the
defence
thereof
against
forreign
force
:
but
the
sea
shrinking
from
it
by
little
and
litle
,
brought
the
town
by
the
like
degrees
into
great
decay
,
though
still
it
beare
the
shew
of
a
handsome
town
,
and
hath
a
Blockhouse
for
defence
raised
by
H.
8.
But
what
it
lost
in
wealth
,
it
hath
got
in
honour
,
being
advanced
unto
the
reputation
of
an
Earld
.
in
the

WINCHESTER
.
WInch
,
is
the
chief
City
of
Ha
〈…〉
sh
.
&
heretofore
the
seat
Royal
of
the
West-Saxon
K.
By
Antonine
and
Ptolomy
called
Venta
Belgarum
;
and
then
accounted
the
prime
City
of
all
the
Belgae
,
out
of
which
Venta
,
adding
ceaster
to
it
,
(
according
to
their
wonted
manner
)
the
Saxons
hammered
their
Vent-ceaster
,
and
we
our
Winchester
.
In
these
our
dayes
,
it
is
indifferently
wel
peopled
,
and
frequented
,
commodiously
seated
in
a
Valley
betweene
high
steep
hils
,
by
which
it
is
defended
from
cold
and
wind
.
It
lyeth
daintily
on
the
banks
of
a
pleasant
river
,
stretching
somewhat
in
length
from
East
to
West
,
and
conteineth
about
a
mile
and
a
halfe
within
the
wals
,
besides
the
suburbs
;
but
much
within
the
wals
is
desolate
and
altogether
unbuilt
.
Many
things
certainly
thereare
which
may
conduce
unto
the
reputation
of
it
,
especially
a
beautifull
and
large
Cathedrall
,
a
goodly
and
capacious
Palace
for
the
Bishops
dwelling
,
which
they
call
Wolvescy
house
;
a
strong
and
gallant
Castle
bravely
mounted
:
upon
an
hill
,
with
brave
command
on
all
the
Countrey
;
a
pretty
neat
Colledge
neare
the
wals
,
buile
and
endowed
by
Wil.
of
Wickham
,
for
a
seminary
to
his
other
in
Oxford
;
and
not
far
off
a
very
faire
Hospitall
,
which
they
call
Saint
Crosses
.
And
yet
lest
all
this
might
not
raise
it
high
enough
,
our
English
Monarchs
have
thought
fit
to
dignifie
these
following
persons
with
the
stile
and
title
of
Marq
and
Earles
of
Winchester
.

is
a
part
of
the
Gornavii
,
once
a
great
nation
in
these
parts
.
A
Coun.
of
an
aire
so
temperate
,
and
a
soyle
so
fortunate
,
that
it
gives
place
to
none
about
her
,
for
health
and
plenty
.
Abundant
certeinly
it
is
in
all
kinds
of
fruits
;
and
of
peares
especially
;
wherewith
,
besides
the
use
they
have
of
them
for
the
table
,
they
make
a
bastard
kind
of
wine
,
which
they
here
call
Pirry
,
which
they
both
sell
and
drink
in
great
abundance
.
Salcpits
it
also
hath
in
some
parts
thereof
,
and
about
Powyck
,
and
many
places
else
good
store
of
Cherries
:
and
every
where
well
watred
with
delicious
rivers
,
which
afford
great
variety
of
fish
.
A
Country
of
no
great
extent
for
length
and
compasse
,
as
not
conteining
above
152
Parish
Churches
,
and
amongst
them
10
market
towns
.
Of
these
the
principall
is
Worcester
,
and
gives
denomination
to
the
whole
.
A
City
delectably
seated
on
the
banks
of
S●v
〈…〉
(
which
runneth
quite
through
the
County
from
North
to
South
)
over
which
it
hath
a
faire
bridg
with
a
tower
upon
it
:
and
thence
arising
with
a
gentle
ascent
,
affordeth
to
the
upper
parts
,
a
very
goodly
prospect
in
the
vale
beneath
.
A
City
every
way
considerable
,
whether
you
looke
upon
it
in
the
situation
,
or
in
the
number
of
its
Churches
,
or
the
faire
near
houses
,
or
finally
on
the
inhabitants
,
which
are
both
numerous
and
wealthy
,
by
reason
of
their
trade
of
cloathing
,
which
doth
there
flourish
very
much
.
Of
the
Cathed
.
here
we
have
spoke
before
,
and
of
the
Castle
we
shall
now
say
nothing
,
as
having
nothing
left
of
it
but
the
name
and
ruines
.
All
we
shall
adde
is
a
briefe
nomenclature
of
The
Earles
of
Worcester

YORK
.
York-shire
is
past
all
peradventure
the
greatest
County
in
England
,
conteining
70
miles
in
length
from
North
to
South
,
and
80
miles
in
bredth
from
West
to
East
;
the
circuit
being
above
300.
In
this
great
quantity
of
ground
,
are
not
above
563
Parish
Churches
,
which
is
no
great
number
,
but
then
withall
there
are
great
plenty
of
Chappels
of
Ease
,
equall
for
bignesse
and
resort
of
people
,
to
any
Parish
;
elsewhere
.
The
soyle
is
generally
fruitfull
in
a
very
good
measure
.
If
that
one
part
therof
be
stony
and
barren
ground
;
another
is
as
fertile
and
as
richly
adorned
with
come
and
pasturage
:
If
here
you
find
it
naked
and
destitute
of
woods
in
other
places
you
shal
find
it
shadowed
with
most
spacious
forrests
:
If
it
be
somwhere
moorish
,
mirie
and
unpleasant
;
elsewhere
it
is
as
beauteous
and
delightsome
as
the
eye
can
wish
.
It
is
divided
ordinarily
into
3
parts
,
which
according
to
the
quarters
of
the
world
are
called
East-Riding
,
West-Riding
,
and
North-Riding
;
Richmondsh
.
comming
in
to
make
up
the
4
,
which
is
a
part
of
York-sh
.
as
before
was
said
.
The
whole
was
antiently
possessed
by
the
Brigantes
,
who
were
diffused
all
over
those
Northerne
parts
,
beyond
the
Trent
;
and
for
their
capitall
City
had
Eboracum
,
seated
upon
the
river
Vre
which
we
now
call
Ouse
)
in
the
Westriding
of
this
County
;
and
by
a
later
Saxon
name
is
now
called
York
.
This
is
the
2
City
of
all
Eng.
both
for
fame
and
greatnesse
;
A
pleasant
large
and
stately
place
,
well
fortified
&
beautifully
adorned
,
as
well
with
private
as
publike
edifices
,
and
rich
and
populous
withall
;
Seated
(
as
erst
was
said
)
on
the
river
Ouse
,
which
cutteth
it
,
as
it
were
,
in
twaine
;
both
parts
being
joyned
together
with
a
faire
stone
bridge
,
consisting
of
high
and
mighty
Arches
.
A
City
of
great
fame
in
the
Roman
times
,
and
of
as
eminent
reputation
in
all
Ages
since
;
and
in
the
severall
turnes
and
changes
,
which
have
befallen
this
Kingdome
under
the
Saxons
,
Danes
and
Normans
,
hath
still
preserved
its
antient
lustre
.
Adorned
it
was
with
an
Archiepiscopall
see
in
the
times
of
the
Britans
;
nor
stooped
it
lower
when
the
Saxons
received
the
Faith
.
Rich.
2
,
laying
unto
it
a
little
territory
on
the
Westside
therof
,
made
it
a
County
of
it selfe
,
in
which
the
Archbishops
of
York
enjoy
the
rights
of
Palatines
.
And
for
a
further
lustre
to
it
,
H.
S.
appointed
here
a
Councell
for
the
governance
of
the
Northern
parts
,
consisting
of
a
L.
P.
recertaine
Councellors
,
a
Secretary
and
other
Officers
.
And
yet
in
none
of
these
hath
York
been
more
fortunate
,
than
that
it
adorned
so
many
Princes
of
the
Imperiall
line
of
Germany
and
bloud
Royall
of
England
,
with
the
stile
and
attribute
of
Dukes
and
Earles
of
York
