1 IN orientali Cambriae parte, videlicet Mai∣lora & Trefreda, in locis vliginosis, vbiter rapropter aquas hiemali tempore stagnātes mollis minimé{que} consolidata est, reperiuntur etiam bodie abietum praecisarum stemmata, & aliquando ••psae abietes mirae longitudinis, ita purae & integrae ac si infra annum fuissent prostratae: quibus prolych∣••is & taedis vtuntur pauperiores, eàs{que} verubus & alijs instrumentis in terra quaerunt, & cùm invene∣rint effodiunt. Quòd eò magis mirandum est, quo∣••iam nullae huiusmodi arbores in Cambria, aut sati∣••ae aut 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 prouenientes (quòd sciam) reperi∣antur. Hoc tamen verissimum esse his nostris die∣bus comperimus, non obstante eo quod scribit Caesar de fago & abiete, libro quinto de bello Gallico: fieri ••gitur potest vt talium arborum illi qui ab hoc authore commemorantur stipites fuerint.
