Of Vitria. cap. 175.

VItria is a little Ilande in the British sea, and is departed from the more Britaine with a little arme of the sea: the ground thereof is best lande for Wheat. Therein be many woodes and groaues, and many beasts wilde and same, & wels, and riuers that moist the lande. That I∣lande is most temperate and wholesome countrie, and most plenteous of fruite, as it is sayd, and English men dwell therein at this day.

TREVISA. Héere lacketh: for no mention is made whether ward this land beareth from Britaine, nor in what side of Britaine this land should be, Some men would thinke that this Ilande is Wight, but Wight is commonly called Insula vecca, and this Ile is héere called Vitria.

(* 1.1Whether this Ile bée a parte of that where the Uitrie canuas and linnen cloth was made in times past, or else béeing consumed with the Sea, there is nowe no such Ile: or whether the ma∣king of glasse, hadde there anye origi∣nall.)
