OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

The Introduction.

PURSUANT to Our Method prosecuted in the Subsequent Volume, where∣in We have Affixt the Historical Account of Places, either in Transitu, as We pass through them, or in Termino, as they conclude a Road; no such Opportunity offering this Our Prime Center, LONDON, We have con∣cluded it necessary to praefix a peculiar Illustration hereof, an Epitome of a larger Design, by which, however, the Reader may not only see with how great Reason the Eminency of this Great Emporium, becomes the Subject of the better half of our Exhibited Itineraries; but the Traveller may inform himself likewise of the several Passages Outward and Homeward, and gratifie his Curiosity with an Ac∣count of the more obvious and considerable Remarques of a City so Celebrated by Antiquity, and Unrivall'd by the present Age.

The Prosecution. In the Prosecution hereof, We shall in general, Discourse It's Name and Etimology, It's Antiquity, Situation and Extent; with It's Division, Government, Privileges and Com∣merce; and in particular, the several Exits from the Center of this Center, the Stan∣dard in Cornhil, to the farthest extended Buildings in the Periphery; remarquing the several deviating Streets, &c. pass'd by on either Hand, and the more Eminent Observables therein, as well as those upon the Grand Thorough-fares.

Name.LONDON, by which, in a larger Sense We understand the two United Cities of LONDON and WESTMINSTER, with the Borough of Southwark, and the whole Mass of contiguous Buildings; but in a stricter Acceptation, the City of LONDON only has successively admitted various Appellations; for, besides that of Troy-Novant, i. e. Troja Nova, and Caer-Belin, i. e. Urbs Belini, mention'd by Geffry of Monmouth, and of Caer-Lud by Gildas; in Tacitus, Ptolome and Antonine, We find it Lon∣dinium and Longidinium; in Ammianus, Lundinium and Augusta; and in Stephanus, Lindo∣nion; by the Cambro-Britains or Welsh, call'd Lundayn; by the English Saxons, Lunden∣ceaster, Lundenbyric and Lundenwyc; by the Modern French, Londres; by other Nati∣ons, Londra and Lunden; and now in Latine, Londinum.

Etymology. As for the Deduction of the Word, the more probable Conjectures are either from the British, Llwyn, Nemus, a Wood, q. d. Urbs Nemorosa, or Llong, Naves, Ships and Dinas, Civitas, or Llawn, Plenus, Populosus, Full or Populous; which two last Characters She at present Eminently Maintains; those of Llwyn Dianae, Diana's Wood or Grove, and Llan Dian, Diana's Fane or Temple, seeming to be less proper or probable Etymons.

Antiquity. The Assertors of the Story of the Trojan, Brutus, and of his Founding this City, Anno 2855. and 1108 Years before Christ, Denominating the Island from his own Name, and the City Troy-Novant as aforesaid, speak fair for it's Antiquity; but the Authority equal with that of It's being augmented by King Belin 400 Years before Christ, the Builder of Belinsgate; and Re-edify'd by King Lud about 60 Years ant. Christ. the Founder of Ludgate, is equally suspected, and these two Gates find more plausible Etimologies; however, for the space of above 1700 Years; 'tis Re∣corded in Caesar by prope firmissima earum Regionum Civitas, * 1.1 the most settled City of all those Countries; and Corn. Tacitus more than 1600 Years since accounts for it's Emi∣nency, when it was copia Negotiatorum & Commeatu maxime celebrie, very famous for Commerce and frequency of Merchants; and add to which, that Amm. Marcel. speaking

of Theodosius's coming hither, Egressus (saith he) tendens{que} ad Londinium vetus Oppi∣dum quod Augustam Posteritas appellavit, &c. Coming for London, a Town of good Anti∣quity, which Posterity call'd Augusta; shews us what it was esteem'd 1300 Years ago; to omit the Civitas Trinobantum mention'd in Caesar; the British Termination Dinum for a City; and the Inscription of a Roman Coyn in Honor of Britannicus Son of Claudius, where you have METROPOLIS ETIMINIJ BASILICOS LON∣DINUM, not above half a Century after Christ to prove it both a City and a Metropolis in those Days.

The Situation. As this City seems with Lipsius, vitali Genio Condita, to have been Founded under fortunate Aspects, so it's Situation argues much the Wisdom of our Ancestors; for as to the Whole, It is Seated in relation to the Neighboring Country, at about 4 Miles distance either to North or South, in a pleasant green Valley; but as to the City it self, respecting the River Thames, which washes the South Part of it, upon a gentle rising Bank, in an excellent Air and Gravelly Soyl; but the Eastern Suburbs towards Essex lye low and in a flat, as does the City of WESTMINSTER on the West, and the Borough of Southwark on the South, and even level with the Ri∣ver at High-Water: This Famous and Navigable River being indifferently 12’00 Foot over, does here cast it self into a Crescent or Right-Angle, the next Angular Point being at Ivy Bridg, about the midle of the Strand, whence 'tis near East to the Tower, and near South to Lambeth, distant about 60 Miles from the Eastern and Southern Seas, whereby 'tis equally accomodateded for Importing Merchandize from Abroad, and receiving necessary Supplies of Provisions from Home: It may be said to be situate on the South Limits of the County of Midlesex, or at the Conjun∣ction of that County with Surry; though it is really a City and County of it self; where the Pole is Elevated 51’32. and the distance from the Prime Meridian account∣ed from the Pico Tenariff about 24’20. more Westerly than Paris by 10 Minutes of Time, and 2 Degrees 30 Minutes of Longitude, making the Suns greatest Meridian Altitude 62 Deg. 20 Min. and the longest Day 16 Hours 38 M.

Touching the Modern Extent of this mighty City, whose Suburbs in Nero's Time are suppos'd to have abutted upon Spittle Fields, as His and the other Emperors Coyns often digg'd up there Testifie: It Measures from Limehouse in the East, to Tuttle Street, or rather James Street beyond Petty France, in the West, inclusive, 49 Furl. 17 Paces; but from Blackwall, inclusive, almost 61 Furl. viz. 2436 Poles, or 8038 Paces; and from the End of St. Leonard Shoreditch to the End of Blackman Street in Southwark, a∣bove 13’000 Foot, more than 2600 Paces, and almost 800 Poles; containing with∣in the Walls 380 Acres; but within the Liberties of the City of LONDON, ex∣cluding the Borough of Southwark, about 680 Acres, and in the whole about 3500 Acres, which is between 5 and 6 single square Miles of Building, equal to a Cir∣cle of 2 Miles 3 quarters Diameter, is 8 Miles Circumference; the Perimeter of this (representing a Treperia rather than a Laurel Leaf) being about 13 Miles. The num∣ber of Houses within the Walls are above 15’000. which being accounted but a 5th Part of the Whole, encreases the Total to near 80’000. 50’000 more than in Paris; and the Number of Souls therein, being Anno 1636. computed within the Barrs or Liberties of the City, to above 700’000. and thereby the Whole at about 1500’000. may be presum'd by the vast Addition of Buildings these last 40 Years, to be encreas'd a Third Part more, viz. to about 2000’000. but the Computati∣on by the Bills of Mortality, reckoning from the Year 1661 to 1673 inclusive, 304’000 Burials and upwards, though (including a Plague of above 70’000) mul∣tiply'd by an indifferent common Ratio, will fall much short of the foresaid Account, and yet those Bills are treble to those of Amsterdam, and but 1/20 less than those of Paris; in which last City the Computation of Souls is under a Million; and allow∣ing 12 Souls indifferently to an House for 80’000 Houses, Our Number will much about equal that of Paris.

The Division of this great Metropolis is into 4 Parts, First the City it self within the Walls; Secondly the Liberties of the City; Thirdly, the City and Liberties of Westminster; and Fourthly, certain Out-Parishes in Midlesex and Surrey; and therein 132 Parishes, viz. in the First 97. in the Second 16. in the Third 5. and in the Fourth 14. But as to the Government, the City of LONDON and Liberties be∣ing the two first Parts before mention'd, is devided into these 26 Wards: Aldersgate, Aldgate, Basinghall, Billinsgate, Bishopsgate, Breadstreet, Bridgward within, Bridgward

without, Broadstreet, Candlewick, Castle-Bainard, Cheap, Colemanstreet, Cordwainer, Corn∣hill, Cripplegate, Dowgate, Faringdon within, Faringdon without, Langhorn, Limestreet, Portsoken, Queenhith, Towerstreet, Vintry and Walbrook.

The Ecclesiastical Government of the City of LONDON is by a Bishop, (but in the Time of the Brittains an Arch-Bishop) numbring in a continual succession of 10 Centuries and an half 91 Bishops: The Cathedral one of the most Antient and Stately Structures of the World, Eminently Situate on the Highest Part of the City, is Dedicated to St. Paul, and has besides a Dean, a Chapter, a Treasurer, and 30 Prebendaries; the Diocess contains Midlesex, Essex, and Part of Hartford∣shire, and has five Arch-Deacons, viz. of London, Midlesex, Essex, Colchester and St. Albans, and the Bishop has Precedency next to the Arch-Bishop.

The City of WESTMINSTER, antiently Thorney, whose Cathedral Dedi∣cated to St. Peter; was in the Britains Time the See of the Arch-Bishop of London, numbers but one Bishop Created by H. 8. after the Dissolution of the Abbots, since which time it has continued a Deanry only, the Deans enjoying most of the Privileges of the former Abbots, as keeping the Regalia, and having a chief Ser∣vice in Coronations, &c.

The present Structure Dedicated to St. Peter, was Founded by King H. 3. (in the Place where Edward the Confessor Re-built King Sebert's first Erection) the Ab∣bots much enlarg'd it Westward, and H. 7. added that Magnificent Chapel at the East; the Diocess contain'd Midlesex only, which being restor'd to London, it re∣mains now a Collegiat Church consisting of a Dean and 12 Prependaries.

The Civil Government of the City of LONDON, in the Romans Time was by a Praefect, the Title continuing 300 Years; in the Saxons Time by a Portreeve, which after the Conquest was chang'd into sometimes a Bailiff, sometimes a Provost: Rich. 1. Granted them two Bailiffs, and King John chang'd them into a Mayor and two Sheriffs, as they are at this Day: Assistant to which are the Court of Alder∣men, one to each Ward, over which he Presides; every Alderman having his De∣puty. and the Court of Common-Councel Men. whereof there is about 230 in all, some Wards having more, some less; add to which, a Recorder, Chamberlain, Town-Clark, Common-Sergeant, Remembrancer, Vice-Chamberlain, &c.

And as to the Civil Government of WESTMINSTER, being settled by Act of Parliament, Ann. 27 Eliz. The principal Magistrate is the Dean, who, with the High-Steward, was wont to Elect 12 Burgesses and as many Assistants, viz. one Burgess and one Assistant for each Ward; and out of these 12 Burgesses are yearly Elected 2 Chief-Burgesses, who have the Prime Regulation of the said City and Liberties.

The Military Government of the City and Liberties only, consisted at His Ma∣jesties Restauration in 6 Regiments of Train'd Bands, 6 of Auxiliaries, and one Regiment of Horse; the 12 Regiments of Foot being 18’000 compleat, and Com∣pos'd of 80 Companies; the Regiment of Horse 6 Hundred, Compos'd of 6 Troops.

The 6 Regiments of Train'd Bands, upon a Commission of Lieutenancy some Months after His Majesty's Arrival were new settled, and Commanded by 6 Citi∣zens, Knights; their Leiutenant-Colonels being Knights also: These, with the 6 Regiments of Auxiliaries, made up 20’000 Men; with which were Listed 2 Regi∣ments of Horse of 5 Troops each, and 80 in a Troop, 800 Horse: Besides South∣wark one Regiment of Train'd Bands 15’00 Men; the Hamlets of the Tower 2 Regiments 3’000 Men; Holborn Regiment and Westminster Regiment 4’000. but in Case of Necessity, the City within the Liberties may in few Days Raise above 40’000 Men, and Westminster with the Suburbs, &c. 30’000 more. Add to these, the Artilery Company of 600 a kind of Military Nursery, Commanded by his Royal Highness, under whom is a Leader, 2 Lieutenants, 2 Ensigns, &c.

The Privileges and Immunities of the City of LONDON are Great and Nu∣merous: The Mayor, though always a Citizen and Tradesman, is usually a Knight before, and during his Mayoralty has the Title of Lord praefixt; four of his Dome∣stick Attendance are reputed Esquires, the Sword-Bearer, the Common Hunt, the Common Cryer, and the Water-Bailiff; besides which, there are sundry other great Officers, most of which have their Servants allow'd them: He is usually Chosen on Michaelmas Day, and on the 29th of October is with great State convey'd to West∣minster, where taking his Oath, and returning to the Guild Hall of the City, a most

sumptuous Dinner is there prepar'd for Him and his Brethren, and frequently Ho∣nor'd with the Presence of the King, Queen, Prince, Nobility and Judges, &c. His Authority along the River of Thames reaches to the Mouth of the River Med∣way, Eastward; and to Colny Ditch, above Stanes Bridg, Westward: The two She∣riffs of the City are Sheriffs of Midlesex also, and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen appear abroad usually on Horseback, in Scarlet and Gold Chains, and the Lord Mayor has his Mace and Sword born before him.

To the Lord Mayor and City belong divers Courts of Judicature, as first, the High and Antient Hustings Court for Preservation of the Laws, Rights and Customs of the City: 2dly a Court of Conscience or Requests: 3dly. The Court of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen: 4thly. Two Courts of the Sheriffs for the two Counters: 5thly. The Court of the City Orphans, Presided by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen: 6th. The Court of Common-Councel, consisting of two Houses, one for the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, the other for the Commoners; wherein, are made all by-Laws for the Regimen of the City: 7th. The Chamberlains Court for the Revenues of the City, and Regulating Apprentices: 8th. The Courts of the Coroner and Eschea∣tor, and for Conservation of the River Thames: Lastly, the Court of Goal Delivery, Held at the Sessions House in the Old Baily, for the Tryal of Criminals Apprehend∣ed within the City and Midlesex, whereof the Lord Mayor is President: Besides these, there are Ward-Motes for the peculiar Wards, and Hall-Motes for the Regulat∣ing particular Guilds or Fraternities.

The Lord Mayor upon the Death of the King is said to be the Prime Person of England, and at Coronations, claims the Office of Chief Butler.

All the Aldermen having been Lord Mayors, and the three Eldest Aldermen not having arriv'd to that Dignity, are Justices of the Peace; they have Charter of Free Warren, are exempt from Toll throughout England, have a Common Seal, and are free from being Prest to the Wars; they are represented by 4 Burgesses in Par∣liament, and are Impowered to Make Acts and Ordinances for the Regulation of the City, not Repugnant to the Law of the Nation, or prejudicial to the Interest of the King.

The Trade. The Traders of this City are divided into several Companies, Corporations, or Bodies Politique; the 12 Principal, out of which the Lord Mayor is annually Cho∣sen, are the Mercers, Grocers, Drapers, Fish-Mongers, Gold-Smiths, Skinners, Merchant-Taylors, Haberdashers, Salters, Iron-Mongers, Vintners, and Cloath-Workers; whose Halls or Guilds generally resemble so many Stately Pallaces, and their Government, not much unlike that of the City, is by a Master, Wardens and Assistants: The rest of the Incorporated Companies being the Dyers, Brewers, &c. to the Number of about 70 besides the first 12. and these likewise have their Halls, their Governors and their Officers, their Armorial Ensigns, &c. and are accounted one of the Glories of this Super-Eminent City.

To these We may add the several Companies of Merchants Trading to Foreign Parts: As

1. The Russia or Muscovia Company of Merchant Adventurers, for discovery of New Trades, adventuring Northwards, North-Eastwards, and North-Westwards; Directed by a Governor, 4 Consuls and 24 Assistants.

2. The Levant or Turkey-Company of Merchants, Trading to their several Factories at Constantinople, Smyrna, Aleppo, Cyprus, &c. Manag'd by a Governor, Deputy-Go∣vernor, a Treasurer, a Husband and 18 Assistants.

3. The East-India Company, Trading to India, Persia, Arabia and China; Regulated by a Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Committee of 24 Assistants, grown within these few years to a considerable Pitch, their Actions at this time being Valued at 220. Pounds.

4. The Eastland Company Trading to Norway, Sweadland and Poland, Eastward of the River Oder, and the Isles within the Sound; by a Governor, Deputy-Governor, and 24 for a Court of Assistants.

5. The Royal or African, call'd also the Guinee Company, Trading into Africa, be∣tween Sally in South-Barbary, inclusive; to Cape bone 'Sperance; by a Governor, Sub-Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Court of Assistants of 24.

Former times have known several other Companies now Extinct, as the Mer∣chants of the Staple, of Elbing, &c.

To this We may add, that for the furnishing this Great Emporium with Provisi∣ons and such like Necessaries; there are besides 12 or 13 Butcher's Shambles, divers Markets, as Leaden-Hall Market, one of the most Eminent; Woolchurch, or the Stocks Market; Cheapside, alias Hony Lane or Milk-street Market; Newgate Market; and a late small one at Ratcliff; then King-street Market in Westminster; St. James's Market; South∣hampton vulgo Bloomsbury Market; and Clare Market vulgo New Market; Lastly, three Markets Weekly in Smith-Field for Live Cattel, Mondays and Wednsdays for Fat Oxen and Sheep, &c. and Fridays for Horses also. And for Water, besides that of the River Thames forc'd up, and from certain Water-Houses convey'd to several Parts of the City; and the many fair Springs even in the City it self, and about 20 Con∣duits or Receptacles of adjacent Fountains; It expends a whole River, brought to It at a vast Charge by Sr. Hugh Midleton, Ann. 1613. from about Ware in Hartford∣shire, by an irregular Course of above 60 Miles: Neither is It less Accomodated for Fuel, which is convey'd to it by the River Thames from New-Castle, Scotland, Kent and Essex.

THUS We have given you a Cursory Account of this Celebrated Emporium, which for Situation, Extent, Government, Magnificence, Trade, Plenty, Riches and Strength, may Challenge any the European Cities whatsoever: We proceed now to the Particular Survey of the Prime Thorough-fare Streets, directing to the several Parts of the Kingdom; from the Standard in Cornhil, rather than from that suppos'd Milliarium in Cannon-Street, at this Day retaining the Name of London-Stone; whence issue only an Eastern and Western Passage; but This, like another Cairfax, is the Conjunction of 4 Prime Streets, Bishops-gate Street to the N. b.

Observing, that the Extent of the Fire seem'd in a manner Limited by the former Part of this Way, nothing on the Right Hand having submitted to that Impetuous Conflagration; whereas little within the Walls escaped It's Fury on the Left.

Secondly, The Harwich Road: From the Standard aforesaid, entring Leaden-Hall-street, at 6 Poles you are opposite to the Gate or midle of Leaden-Hall on the Right, a large and antient Building, belonging successively to the Nevils, Cogshals and Bohuns, (E. of Hereford) afterwards to the Rikedens, who past it away to certain Citizens, and they to the City, Ann. 1411. where they us'd to Weigh Wool, Meal, &c. and Store up several Wares, Corn, &c.

Keeps a Court for Actions under 4 l. and has a good Market on Wedns∣days.

At 75’2. you descend a Hill of 7 Furlongs, leaving Great Rolright Church on the Right, and ascending for 5 Furlongs leave Little Rolright on the Left, in which Parish, but a Mile to the Left, stands that circular Monument of great Stones, said to be Erected in Memory of a Battel there fought by Rollo the Dane: Then by Long Compton on the Right, and Little Compton on the Left, you pass between the Coun∣ties of Oxford and Warwick; at 79’2. descend a Hill of 4 Furlongs, and at 81’3. come to the 4 Shire Stone, the well-known Limits of Oxfordshire to the South and S. E. Warwick to the North and N. E. a part of Worcestershire included within Gloce∣stersh. to the S. W. and Glocestersh. to the West and S. W.

At 103’4. you pass by Alesborough, a House on the Left, giving Title to the Right Honorable the Lord Coventry; * 1.33 whence little occurs, onely passing through Stouton at 107 Miles, a small Village; your Road direct, and mostly enclos'd, brings you at 111’4. to the Suburbs, and by the Way of Sudbury-Gate, to the City of WORCE∣STER, whereof take this short Account.

The main Body of the Town lies upon the Right, which We shall carry you through, in BRISTOL to CHESTER pag. 111. But proceeding at 136’2. you omit the forward Way on the Left to Webley, and an enclos'd Road by two Houses on the Right, would convey you directly to Keinton, but bearing to the Right at 138’2. you pass by Kingsland Church, and at 140’1. through Kingsland, * 1.41 a scattering Village of 4 or 5 Furlongs; and at 142’4. through Easterton, * 1.42 a small Village; whence at 144’4. descending 2 Furlongs, and after by stragling Houses, and a great Hill on the Left, at 146’6. you cross the small River Wadels, and pass through Comb, a discontinued Village, Entring Radnorshire at 148’3. * 1.43 and a Furlong farther Prestain seated on the River Lug, in a Pleasant and Rich Vale, in Welsh, * 1.44 Lhan Andre, formerly a small Village, now a large and well-built Town of 4 Fur∣longs Extent, is the Place where the Assizes are kept for the County of Radnor, has a well-frequented Market on Saturdays, especially for Barley, which is here Mault∣ed in good quantity, and two Fairs annually, on St. Andrew and Midsomer Day, with several good Inns for Entertainment, as the Antelop, Swan, &c.

scattered Houses, and crossing the small River Comaron at 160 Miles, beyond which passing over another Hill about 4 Furlongs high, at 161’5. you come to the River Ithon, falling into the Wye above Bealt; and at 163’2. cross Clowedock fluv. which falls into the foresaid Ithon; * 1.47 whence repeated Ascents and Descents, leaving Nantmel on the Left, brings you at 168’5. to the River Dulas, beyond which a direct Road con∣veys you to Riadergowy, * 1.48 vulgo Raihader, which you enter at 170’3. a Town of 3 Fur∣longs Extent, seated in a Mountainous Part of the County, and upon the River Wye; is Govern'd by a Bayliff, has a Market on Wednsdays and 4 Fairs annually, St. James Day, 10th. of August, 14 Days before Michaelmas, and three Weeks after Alballontide, with two Inns, the Swan and the Lion; at the End of the Town over a Wood-bridg you cross the Wye, and 5 Furlongs farther come to the Foot of an Eminent Ascent of 10 Furlongs, which at 174’4. descends for 6 Furlongs; and having left the enclos'd Way a Mile on this side Riadergowy, your Road continues altogether open as well as Mountainous and Boggy, even to Aberistwith.

But proceeding from the last mention'd Descent, the River Eland accompanying you on the Left; at 179’1. you cross Ecomistwith Brook and enter Cardiganshire, pre∣sently ascending a Hill of 6 Furlongs equally descending, and over Moorish-ground, by some Lead-mines, and a House on the Right at 183’5. call'd Mowen Glowth, a woody Descent leads you into Brunant, * 1.49 a small Village seated in a Valley, whence by some scattering Houses seated on the following Ascent, and sprinkled along the suc∣ceeding part of the Road, which still lies through a kind of morass; at 192’5. you touch upon the River Ridal on the Right, and at 194’2. descend for 12 Furlongs crossing the River Ridal, * 1.50 at 196’7. and 2 Furlongs farther entering Llanbadern-Vaur of 6 Furlongs Extent on the Road; a well built Town with a fair Church, former∣ly an Episcopal See, and now the Parish Church to Aberistwith which you enter at 198’7. of 4 Furlongs Extent, whereof in brief thus:

Scarthingwel Hall each 2 furl. on the Right, and at 179’5 come to Tolton vulgo Towton a small Village of near 2 furl. * 1.130 where on Palm Sunday Anno. 1461 the House of York after a dubious Conflict obtained a Signal Victo∣ry over the Lancastrian party, * 1.131 both Armies consisting in 100’000 Men whereof 35000 are Reported to be slain on the place.

At 182’3 Over a fair Stone Bridge you cross the great River Warf or Wherf and enter

Tadcaster, the Calcaria in Antonine, whereto answers an adjacent Hill called Kelebar; a Town of 3 furl. extent, well provided for Reception, Enjoys a Market on Thursdays, and is noted for the abundance of Limestone here digd up; Whence by Streton Hall 3 furl to the Right, a Mile farther the Street way from Tadcaster falls in on the Left, and 3 furl beyond viz. * 1.132 at 185’7 you pass through Street-Houses a small Village, 6 furl. to the West of which is Bilbrough; then passing between Askeham and Knapton on the Left, * 1.133 and Coppen-Thorp and Bishops-Thorp on the Right, at 190’4 you come to Ring-Houses a Village of 2 furl. so called, and by the Gallows and 3 Windmills Enter the Suburbs of YORK at 191’5, * 1.134 3 furl. more bringing you to Mickle Gate, whence you have a quarter of a Mile to Ouse Bridg, and as far beyond to the Pavement or midle of the City; The Eminence and Grandeur whereof will easily admit the following Discourse, Wherein we shall briefly Consider its Name, Antiquity, Situation, Extent, Govern∣ment, Privileges and Commerce.

YORK, the 2d. City of the Kingdom anciently Eboracum or Eburacum, by the Saxons, Everwic and Eoferwic, the Cambro Brittans, Caer Effroc, by Nennius, Caer Ebranc, and Ptolome, Brigantium, as being the Chief City of the Brigantes: So call'd from the River Your or Urus which passes through it q. d. juxta Urum; of great Antiquity, said to be built by Ebrank a Brittish King 980 years before Christs time, whence some would also deduce the Word Eboracum; of great Esteem in the Time of the Romans, being a Colony and station of their sixth Legion called Victrix; famous for the Death and Funeral Exequies of Severus and Constantius, and the Birth and Inauguration of Constantine the Great the First Christian Emperor; Preserving and Encreasing it's Lustre even to a Mi∣racle, under the various changes of the Saxons, Danes and Normans, accounting temp. Edw. Conf. 6 Divisions or Wards, and therein 1628 Mansion Houses; yet a plentiful sha∣rer in Calamities, both by Sword, Fire and Pestilence.

Well frequented by Merchants, as seated on the Navigable Owse, severing it into 2 parts, conjoyn'd by a stately Bridg of 5 Arches, whereof the midlemost is perchance the fairest in England: Has 4 Markets Weekly, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, well Provided of Flesh, Fish, Fowl, &c. Is the Seat of of an Arch-Bishop; the Cathedral, begun by Edwin King of the Northumbers Anno 627. Finisht by his Successor Oswald, and Dedicated to St. Peter, being Burnt, the Foundation of the Present was laid by John Roman, and Finisht by his Son John, William Melton and John Thoresby Arch-Bishops hereof, Assisted by the Nobility and Gentry of the Country, especially the Percies, and Vavasors, and is a large Magnificent and Stately Piece, with a Curious Chapter House on the North-side of Exquisite Workman∣ship,

PLATE. IV. Commencing at the City of YORK and Extending to Chester in the Street Com. Dunelm. Containing 76 Miles 4 Furlongs.

Wherein these following Turnings are to be avoided.

• At 192’3. without Micklegate, YORK, the Left forward to LONDON.
• At 194’2. the Right to Popleton.
• At 209’3. Entring Burrowbrigs, the left to We∣therby, the Right (forward) to Aldborough.
• At 213’5. In Disford, the Left to Rip∣pon.
• At 254’4. the Left to the Cole-Pits.
• At 259’1. the Left to Great Merington.
• At 267’1. the Right to Lumley.

VVE brought you in Plate the 3d. to the City of YORK, whereof we there gave a short Account; reckoning from the Standard in Cornhil LONDON, to Micklegate on the South West of that City 192 Miles, and to the midle of the City about 192’4; By the direct superficial Protraction of the said Road about 176 Miles; but the direct Horizontal distance not above 162 Mile; This we mention, for that about 40 years ago Mr. Norwood making the said Horizontal Distance 177 Miles, stated thence a degree of Latitude at 69’5 English Miles, which Mr. Oughtred by an Angle to the Center of the Earth reduces to 66’25. and we incline to believe will not prove above 63 Miles; but hope shortly to adjust more accurately this Important Thesis.

Our Dimensuration we continue from Micklegate aforesaid doubling 3 furlongs of the Road from London, passing between Popleton on the Right, * 1.135 and Rufford and Heslow on the left; Crossing the River Nid at 199’7 over Skip Bridg half a mile below Wilsthorp Hall, leaving Kerk-Hamerton 2 furl. to the left, * 1.136 and Passing through Green Hamerton a small Village at 201’5. having hitherto had a direct Road, indifferently Enclosed and open.

Hence bearing to the Right you leave Whixley 2 furl. on the Left, and little Osborn as much on the Right, between which and great Osborn about half a Mile on the same hand springs the River Owse, which a little below meets the Your, rising near the Confines of this County with Westmoreland, and passing through YORK, after its Confluence with the Trent, bears the Name of Humber, importing to Leland as much as Aber i. e. Ostium flu∣minis; But proceeding, you pass by Branton-Green 2 furl. to the Right, and between Grafton and Over-Dunsford, are conveyed by a direct way at 209’2 to Boroughbridg, * 1.137 vulgo Burrowbriggs, of 3 furl. Extent, seated on the South side of the Your, over which it has a fair Stone Bridg; The Town not large, yet well accommodated, Electing Parlia∣ment men and enjoying a small Market on Saturdays; the Straight Road from Ferribriggs by Wetherby falling in here on the Left, saves the Traveller 9 Miles of what the Dimensu∣ration by YORK enlarges his journey: Half a Mile to the East of this Town appears in the Valley Aldburgh or Aldborough a small Village, in Antonine Isurium, an eminent City in the time of the Romans, and near it certain Piramidal Stones supposed to be Erect∣ed by the Romans as a signal of Victory, by the Countrey People call'd the Devils Bolts.

At the end of the Town Crossing the River aforesaid, a direct open way brings you at 213’5 to Disford a small Village whence the Road inclines to the Right, * 1.138 and having received a different way from YORK at 214’6, brings you to Topcliff at 215’2 a pret∣ty through-fare of 5 or 6 F. extent, * 1.139 seated principally on the North East of the fair River Swale, upon a Considerable Ascent, through which your Road passing irregularly, at 217 Miles carries you by Newby Hall 2 furl. on the Left, * 1.140 and at 218’2 brings you to Catton on the Moor a Village of 3 furl. the foresaid Swale accompanying you at about half a miles distance on the Left; thus passing over the Moor, and within a mile and half of Thresk, a small Market and Borough Town on the Right, at 221 Miles you pass through Sand-Huton a small Village; and now the Wisk (which near this place falls into the Swale) accom∣panying you at about a like distance on the Left also for several Miles, an Enclosed way

passing by Newsome 2 Furlongs distance on this side, and Kirkby at alike distance on the other side the said River, you leave the Kilvintons on the Right, and Great and Little Ottrington between you and the River on the Left, * 1.141 and at 229’1. Enter Northallerton, (A.S. Ealfertun) seated on a small Rill, which a Mile below falls into the Wisk a Town of 4 Furlongs in Length, large and well Built; Elects Parliament Men, has a great Market on Wednsdays for Horses and other Cattel, Corn and Provisions: Is a Post-Town of good Reception, and well Traded unto. And thus far Anno 4. Steph. R. David King of Scots Invading Northumberland, proceeded and Spoild the Country (the King be∣ing otherwise Engaged by Maud the Empress) but was Repell'd by Thurstan Arch-Bishop of YORK: William Earl of Albemarl, &c. 10’000. of his Men Slain, and him∣self with his Son Henry forc'd to Retreat.

Your Road continuing Enclos'd, passes between Danby super Wisk, and Brunton each a Mile distant, * 1.142 and by Lowsey Hill a small Village contiguous on the Left, on the pitch of a Descent of 3 Furlongs; at 235 M. you Enter Little Smeton, a Village of 2 Furlongs, and at the end of it cross the forementioned Wisk, and half a Mile beyond you come to Great Smeton, * 1.143 a Village little better than the former; whence a direct Road brings you at 239 M. to Break-horse-bank, a Descent of 2 Furlongs, and by Ereyholm 2 Furlongs on the Left, at 240 M. to the Ferry over the River Tees, where at the same time you Enter Ny∣som, * 1.144 a Village of 2 Furlongs, and the Bishoprick of Durham: this River alone be∣ing the Southern Limits of that County Palatine; and leaving Hurworth on the Left, at 243’1 you cross the River Skern, * 1.145 which rising about 10 Miles to the Northward, falls into the Tees near Croft-bridg 2 Miles below this Place: Having past the Bridg you Enter Darlington vulgo Darnton, * 1.146 of 5 Eurlongs Extent upon the Road; large and well frequen∣ted, being a Post-Town, well Accommodated for Entertainment; and having a very considerable Market on Mundays for Cattel, Corn, &c. At Oxenhall near this place are 3 Pits call'd Hell-kettles, whereof the vulgar tell you many fabulous Stories.

At the end of the Town over Northgate-bridg you cross a small Rill, falling into the Ad∣jacent Skern, which fetching a compass on the Right appears near the Road again at Co∣teham or Cotonmundil which you pass through at 247’6. and leaving Brasford alias Brafor∣ton, half a Mile on the Right, you come at 249’3. to Acle alias Ackham, a Village of 2 Fur∣longs, and at 252 M. to Woodham another small Village, whence by Rushey-Ford, and be∣tween West-close and Little Chilton, * 1.147 you come to Ferry-Hill, alias Ferye super montem, at 255’7. a Village of 2 Furlongs, seated on the pitch or brow of an Hill, descending 3 Furlongs: whence by Hett and Croxdale 3 Furlongs on the Right, * 1.148 at 259 M. you come to Sunderland a small Village, and 2 Furlongs farther Sunderland-bridg, over the River Were; whence by Farwel a House on the Right, * 1.149 at 262’3. you Enter the Western Suburbs of DURHAM, lying 5 Furlongs on the Road, leaving the City it self almost Encircl'd by the River on your Right; well Compacted, Numbring 6 Parish Churches, besides the Cathedral Dedicated to St. Cuthbert: Is Govern'd by a Mayor, Aldermen, &c. And its Principal Market is on Saturdays: The City it self is seated on an Eminence in a Pleasant Vale, but its Suburbs Extends into the bottom; 'Tis Wall'd about, and being Defended by a Castle, renders it of good Strength. [Whereof see more in Whitby to DURHAM and Tinmouth pag. 179.]

At 263 M. leaving the forementioned Suburbs, a small Ascent passing between the Gallows and Crokehal alias Crokshal, * 1.150 Succeeded by another small Hill, leads you into Dur∣ham Moor, at 263’7. a small Village, whence between Newton on the Right, and Nettle∣worth on the Left, * 1.151 you pass by Plausworth contiguous on the Right at 266’2. and leaving Waldridge on the Left, Enter Chester in the Street at 268 Miles, of 4 Furlongs Extent as in Plate 5th.

IN Plate the 4th. we brought you to Chester in the Street, (computed, * 1.152 but errone∣ously, the Mid-way between DURHAM and Newcastle, to which last it is farther by 2 Miles) so call'd from it's Situation on the Via publica; by the Saxons, Concester; whence Cambden supposes it the Condercum in the Notitiae; seated on the West of the Were, pleasantly over-looking Lumley-Castle, the ancient Seat of the Lord Lumley's, about 6 Furlongs distant on the other side the River: It is a good Through-fare of about 4 Furlongs, with handsom Reception: Leaving which at 268’4. about 6 Furlongs farther pass by Peloo-Hall, a little distance on the Right, and prosecuting the Street-way which is a straight way indeed; at 271 M. leave Birtley, vulgo Buckley, on the same Hand; whence at 272’7. inclining to the Left, * 1.153 two small Descents bring you at 274 M. to a Beacon, and 5 Furl. farther a Windmil on the Right, whence an easie Descent conveys you at 275’6. to Gateshead, alias Gate-side, * 1.154 as it were the Sub∣urbs of Newcastle: a Town of great Antiquity, consisting at present of a fair Street of 4 Furl., seated on the Banks of the Tine, by the Saxons call'd Gates-heved, i.e. Caprae Caput, or Goat's-head, perchance from an Inn with such a Sign. Whence a stately Stone∣bridg over the Navigable Tine, separating the Counties of Durham and Northumberland, leads you into Newcastle, whereof take this brief Account. * 1.155

New-castle, seated on the South-side of an eminent Ascent; before the Con∣quest call'd Monkchester, as appertaining to the Monks; but from the Castle built here by Robert eldest Son of William the Conqueror, New-Castle. It is a Town and County govern'd by a Mayor, 12 Aldermen, a Recorder, &c. sends Burgesses to Parlia∣ment, is the Shire-town for Northumberland, and gives Title to his Grace, William Duke, Marquess and Earl of New-castle; numbers 4 Parish-Churches, besides one in Gateshead; has a fair Exchange and handsome Custom-House; is encompast with a strong Wall and 7 Gates, but the Castle on the East of the Town is now ruin'd: Has weekly two great Markets on Teusdays and Saturdays.

Leaving New-castle at 276’6. you pass by Old Heton, and at 278’5. * 1.156 Great Ben∣tham on the Right: At 280’2. Entring North-Gosford, a Village of 2 Futlongs, * 1.157 ha∣ving before left South-Gosford on the Left, a direct and open way conveys you at near 285 Miles between Blakedon on the Left, and Shotton on the Right, and at 285’6. to Blith-Bridg over the River Blith or Pont, which rising about the Picts Wall, falls into the Sea at Blith's Neuk 5 Miles below this Place.

more indirect, * 1.161 passing by Heborn and Espley on the Left, and Tritlington on the Right; crosses the small River Line, and leaving Causey on the Left, passes a Rill or two, and some Houses at 299’7. * 1.162 whence you come to a little Village at 301’2. of two Furlongs Extent, and there cross the River Cocket, rising on the Confines of this County and SCOTLAND, and proceeding Eastward, receives the Uswey, Rid∣ley and Ridland, and by Warkworth-Castle, over against Cocket-Island, discharges it self into the Sea.

A quarter of a Mile beyond the River you enter Felton, * 1.163 a Village of two Furlongs, whence by Acton on the Right, * 1.164 and Newton on the Moor contiguous on the Left; you pass between Snipehouse and Whittel, through a small Wood and over a Rivulet or two, * 1.165 and at 309’6. enter Alnwick, vulgo Anwick, seated near the River Alne, Ale or Alon, not above two Furlongs on the Road, yet a good Through-fare, had once a large Castle now ruin'd, and near it a decay'd Abby; It has a reasonable Market on Satur∣days, and here Anno 1092.

A Place not so Emi∣nent for Antiquity, as for being a Town and County of it self; and included in Nor∣thumberland, though situate on the North-side of the River Tweed; a Place of great Strength, having the Sea on the East and South East, and the River Tweed on the South-west, encompass'd with a Wall, and fortify'd with a strong Castle.

Midlesex, Buckinghamshire, Barkshire, Oxfordshire, Glocestershire, Monmouthshire, * 1.247 Glamorgan∣shire, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire are the Counties through which you pass, and the Brent, Coln, Thames, Coln, Seavern, Wye, Monow, Trothy, Usk, Ebway, Rompney, Tave, Elay, * 1.248 Ewenny, Ogmore, Neath, Tawye, Thlu, Loughor, Dulas, Gwendrath-Vaur, Towy, Tave, Clethy and Dungledey are the chief Rivers crost over, affording generally good way through the three first Counties; reasonable through Oxford and Glocestersh. * 1.249 but through Wales more uneasie and Mountainous, the latter part of it especially, which is often inter∣rupted by Ferries, &c. and affords not that convenient Reception as the former part does.

This is the Road, yet some will take the Bristol Road to Chippenham, and thence by Sodbury, Aust-Ferry and Chepstow, others more rarely by Cirencester, and Framlode or Newen∣ham Passage, and some again by Brecknock and Carmarthen.

The Computation of Post Miles answers nearly the Dimensuration, but the Road varies through Cirencester and Usk, Extending only to Swansey, the remainder being sup∣plied by a branch from Monmouth to Brecknock, Carmarthen and Pembroke.

Leaving Looe you pass 2 Ascents, and by Plinle Church on the Right, cross 2 Vales, and leave Woodvil House on the Left; then by several disperst Houses you come at 140 Miles to descend an Hill, where you pass through Tredennick, and crossing the River Foy enter the Town of Foy alias Foye, which is seated on an Ascent: * 1.527 It is strongly fortify'd, and its Haven secur'd with Block-Houses; the Town had former∣ly 60 Sayl of Ships belonging to it, and was Renown'd for Sea-Fights; it at present is a good Trading Place, and enjoys a well-provided Market for Corn, &c. on Sa∣turdays. Whence ascending and descending several Hills, you come at 244 Miles to Trewardreth a small Village seated near the Sea, and a Bay of the same Name; * 1.528 thence crossing a Ferry you leave St. Blais Church on the Left, whence you ascend and presently descend again.

to decay, yet as a Town-Corporrte sends Burgesses to Parliament, and enjoys a Market on Saturdays.

Hence your Road is Hilly and Sandy, * 1.531 passing through Trevan at 259’3. and Tre∣nustray at 261’2. both small Villages; then an irregular Way brings you at 262’6. to Philly a small Village, and descending an Hill you cross Kings High Passage, and 3 Furlongs farther pass through a little Village; thence ascending you pass over a Vale, and at 267’3. descend again and cross over another Valley, pass through Blow the Cold Wind a little Village so call'd, * 1.532 and leave Peryn Church on the Left; whence little occurs but passing 5 repeated Ascents, and by the Blue Stone on the Right, till 2 repeated Descents brings you by Crowan Church on the Left.

Leaving the Town you cross a small River, and have St. Michael's Mount near you on the Left, which is call'd the Hoar Rock, and severed from the Main-Land by a Sandy Plain, which at Ebb Water is pass'd over on Foot: This Mount is of a great Eminence, the Entrance whereof is an open Plain, that brings you to a winding and craggy Path, which ascending you approach the Top, on which is a Fort or Castle, with Lodgings for the Captain and Soldiers, and a Chapel for De∣votion; a little distant from the Castle is a craggy Place call'd St. Michael's Chair, and under the Mount is a good Road for Ships to Ride in call'd Monts Bay, near unto which is Main Amber Rock, mounted on others of a smaller Size, so equally counterpoiz'd that it may be stirr'd, but not mov'd out of it's Place.

Hence the Bay accompanies your Road on the Left to Pensance or Penzans, * 1.535 which you enter at 298’6. (first passing by Gulfary Church on the Right) the Name signifying an Head of Sands, it extends about 7 Furlongs on the Road; was almost destroy'd by the Spaniards, Anno 1595. which is since Re-built, driving a considerable Trade, and hath a good Market on Thvrsdays well serv'd with Provi∣sions, and Fish very plenty.

Cumberland, Part of Scotland and Northumberland include the Road; and the Eden, * 1.1164 Leven, Kirsop, Liddale, Jed, Tweed, Reddinburn and Till are the principal Rivers crost over; yielding very rarely an inclos'd Way, or any Entertainment for a Tra∣veller, except in Jedborough and Kelso, both in Scotland; being chiefly Mountainous and infrequented, yet not to be better'd, unless doubling the length of the Journey you go by New-Castle.

SEtting forward from Moor-Hall in the City of CARLISLE, [the Account of which We have given you in LONDON to CARLISLE, pag. 76.] you pass through Rickard or Scotch-Gate, and cross the Ituna or Eden, which Rising in West∣merland on the Confines of Yorkshire, passes by Kirkby-Steven and Appleby, receiving the Below, Troutbek and Livennant next the Ulles; and therein the Glenkwen and Gle∣roden by Penrith, then the Irthing alias Irt, from the Borders of Northumberland and Scotland, and therein the Gelt, Gambek, Potrose and Troutbek; after this, the Bruscath; and lastly, the Petterel and Canda abovesaid; and so with the great River Esk, from Eskdale in Scotland, and the little River Sark falling into the Itunian Bay, whereon We find situate the Burgh, or Burgh upon Sands, suppos'd to be the old Castra Explora∣torum, and Boulness or Blatum Bulgium, near the End of the Picts Wall, another Roman Station mention'd in the Itineraries.

But to return to 1’0. passing by Stanix, alias Stanwicks Church on the Right, * 1.1166 an enclos'd Road brings you at 2’6. to Blakeford a small Village on the Left: At 3’4. * 1.1167 passing by New-Town a Village a little distant on the Left; you leave the Lane and enter open Way, and such indeed is generally the whole Remainder of the Road: At 3’7. you pass by Garriston a Village on the Left, * 1.1168 and about 5 Miles have an in∣clos'd Way for 6 Furlongs; at 7’3. you pass over Leven alias Line fluv. falling into the Esk aforesaid, and giving Denomination to Kirk Leventon on the Right, and West Leventon a Mile behind on the Left; at 8’3. passing by some Houses on the Right, you come to Brackneth, alias Brackenhil, a Village at 9’4. on the Left; at 10’2. * 1.1169 ascend an Hill of 2 Furlongs, and by the Skirts of others, come at 12’1. to an Ascent of 3 Furlongs call'd Netherhurst; whence at 15’6. * 1.1170 passing by Kingsfield a Village to the Left about 3 Furlongs, and at 16’4.

The Town is 3 Furlongs long, * 1.1174 and wants not Conveniency of Entertainment, being a handsome Town, as Towns go hereabouts, and enjoys a small Market: Leaving the River and Town at 46’6. you pass by Cralin or Crelin on the Right at 50’2. a Village so call'd, of 3 Furlongs Extent, and cross a small Water at 51 M. and by Kirk-Eckford alias Sackford, on the same Hand a 52’6. passing through that Part of Scotland call'd Tividale; from the River Tiot or Tiviot before mention'd, which so plentifully waters it.

At 54’5. * 1.1175 through Highton or Hilton, a Village of 3 Furlongs Extent; then at 56’7. you come to Part of Kelso alias Kailso, at 57 Miles cross the foresaid Tweed by a Ferry, not much below the Place where it recieves the Tiviot, and enter the Town of Kailso, a well-built and well-inhabited Market-Town, and plea∣santly seated on the North Side of the Tweed, scarce subscribing to any in the South Part of Scotland, affording good Accomodation, and extending 4 Furlongs in length on the Road, and as much upon the River.

Hence by Sharpitlaw on the Left, and Sprouston 3 Furlongs distant from 59’2. on the Right, * 1.1176 you re-pass the Tweed at 60’5. and come to Ridam alias Reddin at 62 Miles, on the Left, a Village so denominated from Reddingburn fluv. which you cross at 62’6. where you re-enter England, about a Mile from its Influx into Tweed, which afterwards is the Limits of the two Kingdoms; * 1.1177 dividing Scotland from that Province of England call'd Northumberland.

At 63’3. * 1.1178 you pass through Carrhoom alias Carram Castle, a Village so call'd; and leaving Wark Castle on the Left between you and the River, * 1.1179 which at a Miles di∣stance more or less accompanies you to Barwick; you come at 66’7. to Cornil alias Cornwel, and between Tillmouth on the Right and Tillisly Hall on the Left; at 70 Miles you cross the River Till, which watering this North Part of Northumberland, passes by Woller a Market-Town, and having receiv'd the Bowbenny, Hetterborn and Boanish, a little below this Place falls into the Tweed: presently after passing by We∣sel on the Left, and Grimdon a Village to the Right about 4 Furlongs from 71’2. you come to an inclos'd Way between 73’4. and 75’2. where at the Cross-Road Thornton appears to the Right about 4 Furlongs, * 1.1180 and at 76’2. Lingridg House some∣what nearer on the Left; whence entring Orde a Village of 2 Furlongs Extent, and near the Banks of the Tweed.

At 79’2. you fall in with the great LONDON Road, and at 80 Miles crossing the Tweed over a fair long Bridg, * 1.1181 enter Barwick a Town and County of it self, [as in LON∣DON to Barwick pag. 18.] adding this, That in the Discords between the 2 Kingdoms, before the Union, its Possession was very vigorously strove for by the opposite Party, was won by the Kings Forces from the invading Scots, and 25’000 of their numerous Army slain, Ann. 24 E. 1st. but since temp. E. 14th. constantly possest by the English; it Elects Parliament Men.

BEFORE We proceed take this general Account of the Famous City and U∣niversity of OXFORD, which with her Sister Cambridg, * 1.1481 are the only Acade∣mies of this Kingdom; a Place of great Antiquity; Re-edify'd by King Alfred; said to be Consecrated to Literature by the Old Britains; but whether translated hither from Creeklade in Wiltshire; as also whether the Etymology be from Vadum Isidos, Ouse∣ford; or Vadum Bovum, Ox-ford, We dispute not. It suffered much by the Saxons and Danes, little remaining save the Monument of St. Frideswid's Virgin Conquest, till King Elfred built 3 Colleges, for Divinity, Philosophy and other Liberal Sciences; sending thither his Son Ethelward, thereby drawing to it the young Nobility from all Parts of the Kingdom; when it began to florish gradually, as at present, it is a fair and stately City, Adorn'd with well-built Houses, 16 Colleges and 8 Halls, a cu∣rious Library and stately Theater, with a large Cathedral; made an Episcopal See by King H. 8th. Ann. 1541. numbring 10 Bishops to this present; the Chapter con∣sists of a Dean, 8 Prebends, and 1 Arch-Deacon of OXFORD: It contains 14 Parishes besides its Cathedral: Is Govern'd by a Mayor, &c. enjoys ample Immu∣nities, as keeping Courts for all Actions without Limitation; Elects 4 Burgesses to Parliament, 2 for the University and 2 for the City; has weekly 2 Markets, on Wedns∣days and Saturdays, well furnish'd with all sorts of Provisions, &c. drives a great Trade in Mault, which is convey'd to LONDON in Barges; to sum up all, For stateli∣ness of Schools, Theater and Publick Library, for Bravery and Beauty of particular Colleges and Halls, all of fair polisht Stone; for liberal Endowments thereof, and notable Encouragements of Industry and Learning in the Salary of the several Pro∣fessors, &c. for Number of Students and Oeconomy thereof, it is not to be paralell'd in the Christian World; It is dignify'd by giving Title to the Right Honorable Aubrey Vere Earl of Oxford.
