Darby-shire.
THings of strange note are the hot
water Springs bursting forth of
the ground at Buxton, where out of the
Rock within the compass of eight yards,
nine Springs arise, eight of them warm,
but the ninth very cold. These run
from under a fair square building of free
stone, and about threescore paces off,
receive another hot Spring from a well,
near unto which another very cold
Spring bubled up, daily experience
sheweth they are good for the stomach
and sinews, and very pleasant to bathe
the body in. Not far thence is Elden
hole, the Waters that trickle from the
top of that Cave (which indeed is very
descriptionPage 84
spacious, but of a low and narrow en∣trance)
do congeal into stone, and hang
as Ickles in the roof very white, and
somewhat Christal-like. And seven
miles thence upon a Mounted hill, stand∣eth
a Castle, under which there is a hole
or Cave in the ground of a marvellous
capacity, which is commonly called the
Devils Arse in the Peak.
Shrop-shire hath nothing remarka∣ble.
