The Farewell.
Being to take my farewell of this County, I am minded of the mistake (what Wri∣ter is free from them?) in Mr. Stow, telling us of* 1.1tide-boats, till-boats and barges, which come from Bedford-shire down the Thames to London, which surely must row over many miles of drie-land in their passage thereunto. But, if there be a possibility of such a conveyance by art and industry to be effected, may his words prove true by way of pre∣diction, seeing certainly such a conveniency must needs be advantagious to this County.

* 1.1
Stow in survey of London pag. 18 writing of the river Thames.
