The Farewell.

Being now to take our leave of Northnmberland, I remember what I have read of Sir Robert Umfrevile, a native of this County, how he was commonly called * 1.1 Robin Mendmarket, so much he improved trading hereabouts, in the reign of King Henry the fonrth. It will not be amiss to wish this County more Mendmarkets, that the general complaint of the decay of traffick may be removed. I confess the Knight bettered the Markets, by selling therein the plentiful plunder which he had taken from the Scots, but I desire it done by some ingenious, and not injurious design, that none may have just cause to complain.
