Wonders.

Giraldus Cambrensis reporteth a Fountain to be in this County (let he himself find it out and justifie it) which conformable to the Sea, ebbe•…•…h and floweth twice in four and twenty hours. But seeing this is a maritime Shire, possibly there may be a more then ordinary communication betwixt it and the Ocean, and then the wonder is not so great.

More credibly it is related, that there are in this Shire, strange subterranean Vaults, conceived the Castles of routed people in the Civil Wars. And no wonder, seeing Da∣vid first set up in a defensive posture for himself in the Cave of Adullam, so that ha∣ving no place where he could safely set the sole of his foot above ground, all his present help was under the Earth, and future hope was above the heavens.
