BEsides the abundance of Fish that do suffice the Inhabitants, the Pil∣chard is taken, who in great Skuls swarm about the Coast: whence being tran∣sported to France, Spain, and Italy, yield a yearly Revenue of gain unto Cornwall. There are Rocks that are not destitute
of Gold nor Silver; yea, and Diamonds shaped and pointed Angle-wise, and smoothed by nature her self, whereof some are as big as Walnuts, inferiour to the Orient only in blackness and hard∣ness.
Memorable matters for Antiquity and strangeness of sight, are these, at Boskenna, is a Trophy erected, which are eighteen stones placed round in com∣pass, and pitched twelve foot each from others, with another far bigger in the very center. These do shew some Vi∣ctory there attained either by the Ro∣mans, or else King Athelstone. At the foot of the Rocks near unto St. Michaels Mount, in the Memory of our Fathers were digged up Spear-heads, Axes, and Swords of Brass wrapped in Linne, the Weapons that the Cimbrians and ancient Britains anciently used.
There also the Wring-Cheese doth shew it self, which are huge Rocks heap∣ed one upon another, and the lowest of them the least, fashioned like a Cheese
lying pressed under the rest of those Hills, which seemeth very dangerous to be passed under. But near to Pensans, and unto Mounts-bay, a far more strange Rock standeth; namely, Main-Amber, which lyeth mounted upon others of meaner size, with so equal a counter∣poize, that a Man may move it with the push of his finger; but no strength re∣move it out of his place.
