THis Isle lyeth in length from Plim∣mouth-bay South-west, to Lancross de Anckers North-east, thirteen Miles; in bredth from St. Martins point South-east, to the Howe North-west, nine miles; and is in circuit thirty six miles.
In this Isle is neither Toad, Snake, Adder, or any other venemous Crea∣ture,
whereas Jersey hath great plenty, their fields in the Summer time are so naturally garnished with Flowers of all sorts, that a Man (being there) might conceit himself to be in a pleasant Arti∣ficial Garden: Among the Rocks is found a hard stone, which we term Eme∣rill. This stone is serviceable for many purposes, and many Trades, as Glasiers, &c. but especially for the Gold-smiths and Lapidaries, to cut their precious stones.
