Patras Corinth and Misithra formerly Lacedaemon These fix last Provinces composed the ancient and famous Country of Greece The Islands which are about Turky in Europe are a sufficient number to make a third part we will then divide them into Turkish and Venetian Islands The chief of the Turkish Islands are Candy anciently Creet ch T. Candy Canea and Retimo Negropont anciently Euboea ch T. Negropont and Stalimene heretofore Lemnos ch T. of the same name The Venetian Islands which are considerable are Corsu Cefalonia Zant and Cerigo heretofore Cythera The most famous Rivers of Turky in Europe are the Danow or Danube the Draw the Saw and the Tyssa or Teissa CHAP. XV. Of the Low Countries AFter having briefly spoken of the nine great parts of Europe we thought it convenient to avoid confusion and to facilitate the Readers memory by the number of twelve into the which we have divided Asia Africk and America to add three lesser divisions of Europe separated and distant from one another viz. The Low Countries the Republick of Swizzerland and the Provinces tributary to the Great Turk We shall begin first with the Low Countries or Seventeen Provinces vulgarly known by the name of Flanders and Holland which are the two richest and most considerable Provinces of them The Low Countries were formerly divided into two parts one on the South of the Rhine comprehended under that part of Gaule called Gallia Belgica now most of it is the Spanish Netherlands The other on the North side of the Rhine was comprised within the bounds of ancient Germany at present it is the Vnited Netherlands The modern division is also into two parts though with some difference from the ancient viz. The Spanish Netherlands or Flanders and the Vnited Netherlands Holland or Vnited Provinces The Spanish Netherlands contain these following Provinces viz. 1. Two thirds of Brabant ch T. Brussels and Lovain 2. Luxemburg ch T. Luxemburg and Thionville Part of this Duchy of Luxemburg belongs at present to the French as also the County of Artois part of the County of Flanders c. but the French having so latelyw on these Countries which by the hazards of a new War may be as soonbrought under the Jurisdiction of some other Potentate I shall forbear to make any more divisions of the Spanish Low Countries concerning the French King's conquests there than what I have mentioned in the Chapter of France but as near as I can shall stick to the division generally agreed upon by all Geographers before the beginning of the last French Wars 3. Limburg ch T. Limburg and Maestricht 4. About a third part of Gelderland ch T. Gelders and Ruremond 5. Almost all Flanders ch T. Gaunt Lisle Dunkirk and Ostend 6. Artois ch T. Arras and St. Omars 7. Hainault ch T. Mons and Valenciennes 8. Namur ch T. Namur and Charlemont 9. The Marquisate of the Holy Empire or the Seigniory of Antwerp ch T. Antwerp 10. The Seigniory of Malines ch T. Malines or Mechlyn You must take notice before we proceed any further that these two small Provinces last mentioned are enclosed within the Duchy of Brabant and that besides the Seventeen Provinces there is the Town of Cambray between Hainault Artois and Picardy which together with it's adjacent Territory makes up a peculiar Province called by the French who are now Masters of it Cambresis yet this small Province is sometimes comprised under that of Hainault The Vnited Provinces or the States of Holland contain these following Provinces viz. 1. Holland ch T. Amsterdam the Hague Dort and Leyden 2. Zeland ch T. Middleburg and Flushing 3. Zutphen ch T. Zutphen 4. Vtrecht ch T. Vtrecht 5. Overissel ch T. Deventer and Swol 6. West Friseland ch T. Lewarden and Franeker 7. The Seigniory of Groningen with the Town of the same name Besides these seven Provinces there is and hath been a great while in the Hollanders possession above two thirds of Gelderland the chief Towns whereof are Nimmegen and Arnhem About a third part of Brabant ch T. Breda and Boldus and some Towns in the North of the Province of Flanders the most considerable of them is Sluys North. Westward from Gaunt CHAP. XVI Of the Republick of Swizzerland THE Republick of Swizzerland is composed of thirteen Canrons which are each one by themselves peculiar Democracies but under one common Alliance with several little Countries States or Towns which go under the name of their Allies The thirteen Swizzerland Cantons are disposed in this order 1. The Canton of Zurick ch T. Zurick 2. The Canton of Bern ch T. Bern and Lausann 3. Of Basil ch T. Basil 4. Of Lucern ch T. Lucern 5. Of Soloturn ch T. Soloturn 6. Of Friburg ch T. Friburg 7.

Glaritz 12. Of Vnderwalden ch T. Siantz 13. Of Vri ch T. Altors The Allies of Swizzerland worth our observation are 1. The Grisons ch T. Coir 2. Valtoline ch T. Sundrio 3. Valais ch T. Sion 4. The Bishoprick of Basil which hath no very considerable Town in it except Porentru Besides these there are many other small Territories and Towns allied to and confederated with the Swizzers which I shall forbear to name as being too tedious to insert them all CHAP. XVII Of the Provinces tributary to the Turk BY the name of Provinces tributary to the Turk we mean those which have each one in particular a Soverain Prince but tributary and depending on the Turk who protects them and pretends to a right of deposing them when they do not embrace his interests or when they refuse to arm in his defence These Provinces are four in number viz. 1. Transilvania ch T. Hermanstad Clausenburg and Weyssenburg 2. Walachia ch T. Targowisko Dombrowitza and Braskow 3. Moldavia ch T. Jazy Soczow and Targorod 4. Little Tartary ch T.
