¶ The Place.

‡ The first and second grow vpon the Sea coasts of Spaine and other hot countries ‡: and the third groweth in the salt marishes neere the sea side, as you passe ouer the Kings ferrey vnto the isle of Shepey, going to Sherland house (be∣longing sometime vnto the Lord Cheiny, and in the yeare 1590, vnto the Worshipfull S^r. Edward Hobby) fast by the ditches sides of the same ma∣rish: it groweth plentifully in the isle of Thanet as you go from Margate to Sandwich, and in ma∣ny other places along the coast. The other sorts grow vpon bankes and heapes of sand on the Sea coasts of Zeeland, Flanders, Holland, and in like places in other countries, as besides the Isle of Purbecke in England; and on Rauen-spurne in Holdernesse, as I my selfe haue seene.
