CHAP. XL. Of ASIA, and the Provinces thereof.

* 1.1ASIA, the Third Division of the World, is separated from EUROPE by the Egean Propontis, and Euxine Sea, by Paulus Maeotis, Tanais, Duina; and from AFRICA by the Red Sea, and the Aegyptian Isthmus, as I remembred in the beginning of this Work. * 1.2Five notable things have made this Country famous, and have given it the Garland of Supremacy over all the other parts of the World. First, the Creation of Mankind: Secondly, the Birth of our Saviour; his Miracles wrought, and place of his sufferance: Thirdly, the Actions memorized by the holy Pen-men of the Old and New Testament: Fourthly, the famous Monarchies of the Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Medes: And Fifthly, being the common Mother of us all, from whence innumerable troops of men issued to people the other parts of the uninhabited World, of which see other Authors further at large.

The Principal Regions of ASIA, are,

  • 1. Anatolia.
  • 2. Syria.
  • 3. Palestina.
  • 4. Armenia.
  • 5. Arabia.
  • 6. Media.
  • 7. Assyria.
  • 8. Mesopotamia.
  • 9. Chaldea.
  • 10. Persia.
  • 11. Parthia.
  • 12. Tartaria.
  • 13. China.
  • 14. India.
  • 15. The Islands thereof.

And of these in brief according to my first intention.
