the People should be weary of him before he be weary of his Life He seldom Rides but upon Mens Shoulders to shew that men in respect of him are but as Beasts in respect of Men. He never demands a penny Tribute of any Subject but what they give willingly he receives thankfully and spends freely He makes no Laws nor keeps any nor issues any Decree but once within two Years it is out of use He useth his Servants with much Familiarity and when he pleases lifts them up above the greatest Men in his Court. I might have learned much more in this Court worthy of Observation but to tell you the Truth I was weary on 't and did not care to tarry any longer then needs must THE Fourth Part. The Description of Theevingenia It s Scituation THeevingenia is bounded on the West with the Streights of Magellanus and on the East with Fooliana the Devout and part of Belly-All-Main It is a Soyl so utterly void of fertillity that not a Shepheard nor Husbandman can be found in all the borders yet is it not strange that this barren Country should so abound in all necessaries nay and Superfluities also There is no rarity or excellent thing of valuable worth in the World but they will have it by hook or by Crook and when they have got it you may as soon get a fart from a Dead man as recover it again from their Clutches The Easternmost part is inriched by the Spoyles of the two Foolianas the Fat and the Devout The Western by the Spaniards Cacaplates These are the most Notable Pyrates of the Globe The whole Country is divided into two Seigniories Robbers-Waldt and Liegerdemain The first of which butts upon Fooliana and an Angle of Belly-All-Main The latter lieth more West Contrary to the other Thievingenians The wandring Robbers-Walders keep themselves in their own Bounds but all of them are for the most part Barbarous and Inhospitable The Conditions Of the Robbers-Walders RObbers-Waldt is divided from the two Foolianas by the Fenns usually called the Filching-Fenns wherein there are Many Islands made by the turnings of the Water The whole Region is so Woody and Mountainous that it seems rather a Desart than a place Inhabited and appears a place fitter for Rebellion then Habitation Their Language is very crabbed and though I did not care to understand it I observ'd in it a Mixture of Welsh which seems to have been taught them by some Antient Travellers of our Western Brittains This Seigniority is Indifferenly well peopled but under no Government each man holds himself born only for himself and liveth obeying and respecting himself only what he gets from another is forthwith his own as good and Lawful prize In Bodily shape they are like us only all the Inlanders have Claws upon their Hands instead of Nails and this is not only Natural to all the Robbers-Walders but to the Liegerdemainists also Upon the Mountaines of this Soyl breedeth a kind of People called the Bandity who usually beggs of Passengers with a Fezee upon their Shoulders they are the Keepers of Booty Forrest a frith so called which is of that breadth that the high Dutch Hercinian adding to it Englands Sherwood They are both but a dayes Journey for an Irish Louse Let her march never so fast if compar'd to this I le justifie and be as good as my word that if Hercinia kept ten thousand Thieves as 't is supposed it did Booty Forrest maintains a hundred thousand Hercinia Why 't is a Blanket for a Cat a meer Cock-pit nay 't is no bigger then a Tobacco-Box in comparison of Booty-Forrest You shall not find any man of State but keeps a Fort or Garrison And in these Fortresses they keep all they purchace and that 's no small prize They are no Shittle-cocks what they have they hold When they march out upon their Expeditions The poor Commonalty are sure to untruss their Portmantles under the Branches and lay their Noddles close to the Root of some Antient Oak Sic fuit ab Initio quoth the Gentleman to the Chandlers Son So did your Fathers and so must you be you never so top-gallant Some of these Villiacoes lye in wait to make prize of poor Passengers and when they catch them they uncase them to the Skin not leaving them so much as a tatter to serve for a Curtain to the Worlds propagater The Liegerdemainists of late made a Decree that no Younger Brothers shall have any share in the Fathers Land and this Law hath added a great multitude of Voluntiers to the Robbers Walders The Devout Foolianders you know are great Lovers of Crossess Well but they cannot love them so much as these hate them therefore if any of them hap to be taken in Robbers-Waldt farewel Fooliander up they go as round as a Juglers Box and the chief reason is because these Devout Foolianders do use to mock the Robbers-Walders by making Gibbets at them with their Fingers There is continual Dissention and Civil Wars among themselves about injurious Booties forced from one another or about dividing the Spoyles And take my word Sir the whole World fares the better for 't for should they lay their heads together against our world we might e'n put up our Pipes and cast our Caps at the Moon for any Estates we should hold long It is a great Commendation and sign of towardness in their Children to be expert at Filching in their Early Years which they are taught to practice from their Infancyes you shall have the little Theevelings while they suck at their Mothers Breast to pick pinns out of their Heads and Pence out of their Purses But if they be taken in being either too slow-handed or to boysterous up goes their Bumms without Baile And as they grow in Years they must Augment their practice by stealing Ducks Geese and so advanceing to Cattle If Trading be dead and nothing of worth to be had then they must keep their hands in practice by stealing a Clod from their Neighbours Ground or a stake from his Hedg This is usuall among the Borderers of Liegerdemain between which and Robbers-Waldt lyeth a large Heath called Lyers-bury-Plain of which we will Discourse when we have passed the Marine parts of Robbers-Waldt The Pyrates and Sea Borderors of Robbers-Waldt THese Pyrates disperse themselves all along the Shores of Magellanus's Streat on the Banks Theevingenia and among the Isles of the Filching Fenns Europe affords not any Sea-man that knows his Bays Creeks Tides Shelfs Rocks and Channels better then these men do in general besides they naturally Swim as the Fishes themselves Their chief Haven is Jeer-All a Town of no great strength and compass but of as hardy Pyrates as the World affords it is Scituate in that Angle of Robbers-Waldt that lyeth just upon the head of the Filching-Fenns over against a part of Belly-All-Main The Shores hereabout are reported to be edged with Rocks of Loadstones which draws the Ships upon the
