Of the Town.

The Town of St. Sebastians is situate in a Plain some mile in length, bounded at either end with rising Hills, the inmost towards the Lake inhabited and inclos'd by the Benedictins, and the outmost towards the Sea by the Fa∣thers of the Company; upon which hill was formerly situated the Antient Town (as the Ruins of houses, and the great Church, yet remaining, testifie) till for the commodity of Traffique, and portation of Merchandise, 'twas by degrees reduc'd unto the Plain, their buil∣dings being but low, and streets not above 3 or 4, the principal regarding the Haven. Be∣hind the Town is a great plain some two mile over, part of it bushy, part woody, and part medow ground, beyond which you find a Country so wholly different from ours, as there's not a Tree nor Plant, Bird, Beast, nor any thing you ever saw in Europe to be found, and to speak somewhat of each one in par∣ticular.
