¶Of Selandia. chap. 145.

SEland is a land by the sea side, com∣passed about with riuers and armes of the sea, as it were an Iland. And hath Holland in the East side, and Flaunders in the South, and Occean in the West, & Britaine in the North. And are manye Ilands departed a sunder with armes of the sea, and those Ilands be compassed a∣bout with strong heapes of grauell, and quarries, and so warded and defended a∣gainst waues and strength of the sea.

The soile of those lands beare wel corne and is bare of trées, for because of salt∣nesse of the sea, trées may not haue déepe mores and rootes, and therefore when they be set and planted, they faile & drye anone. Seland is full of men and people and of riches. The men be of great sta∣ture, strong of body, and bolde of heart, denout in Gods seruice, easie and softe among themselues, beneficiall to many, & greuous to no men, but when they must néedes withstand wrongfull risers of e∣nemies.

(* 1.1Zeland is next adioyning to Eng∣land, ouer against Ipswich. Brill, Dort, & Midelbrough, are their chiefest holds, strongly fenced with the sea.)
