THus have I, by God's Assistance, run through BUCKLOW-HUNDRED, according to such Evidences and Records as I had carefully collected concern∣ing the same. If I had not met with some Obstructions by some Gentlemen, who, either out of Waywardness, or Jealousie, did refuse to let me have the Perusal of their Evidences, some things might possibly have been further discovered and illu∣strated. In the mean time, I wish this may incite some more able Hand to undertake the like for the reviving of those decayed Monuments of Antiquity in the other Hun∣dreds of this our County, which yet lie buried and covered in the Rubbish of Devour∣ing Time.
