betwixt Mescha or Masius an Hill of ●he Amonites and Sephace neare to the Riuer Euphrates Which maketh it very vnlikely that Asarmathes should plant any Colonies so farre off in t the North and North-west Countries It is bounded Northward by the Lappes and the North Ocean On the South-side by the Tartars called Chrims Eastward they haue the N●igaian Tartar that possesseth all the Countrey on the East side of Volgha towards the Caspian Sea On the West and South-west border lie Lituania Liuonia and Polonia The whole Countrey being now reduced vnder the Gouernment of one contayneth these chiefe Prouinces or Shires Volodemer which beareth the first place in the Emperours stile because their House came of the Dukes of that Countrey Mosko Nisnouogrod Plesko Smolensko Nouogrod velica or Nouogrod of the low Countrey Rostoue Yaruslaue Bealoz●ra Bezan D●yna Corgapolia Mes●hora Vagha Vstugha Ghaletsa These are the naturall Shires per●●yning to Russia but farre greater and larger then the Shires of England though not so well peopled The other Countries or Prouinces which the Russe Emperours haue gotten perforc● added of late to their other Dominion are these which follow Twerra Youghoria Pe●mia Va●●k●a Bo●lghoria Chernigo Oudoria Obdoria Condora with a great part of Siberia where the people though they bee not naturall Russes yet obey the Emperour of Russia and are ruled by the Lawes of his Countrey paying customes and taxes as his owne people doe Besides these hee hath vnder him the Kingdomes of Cazan and Astracan gotten by Conquest not long since As for all his possessions in Lituania to the number of thirtie great Townes and more with Narue and Dorp in Liuonia they are quite gone being surprised of late yeeres by the Kings of Poland and Sweden These Shires and Prouinces are reduced all into foure Iurisdictions which they call Chetfyrds that is Tetrarchies or Fourth-parts Whereof wee are to speake in the Title or Chapter concerning the Prouinces and their manner of Gouernment The whole Countrey is of great length and breadth From the North to the South if you measure from Cola to Astraca● which bendeth somewhat Eastward it reacheth in length about foure thousand two hundred and sixtie verst or myles Notwithstanding the Emperour of Russia hath more territorie Northward farre beyond Cola vnto the Riuer of Tromschua that runneth a thousand verst well nigh beyond Pechinga neere to Wardhouse but not intire nor clearely limitted by reason of the Kings of Swed●n and Denmarke that haue diuers Townes there as well as the Russe plotted together the one with the other euery one of them clayming the whole of those North parts as his owne right The breadth if you goe from that part of his Territorie that lyeth farthest Westward on the Naru● side to the parts of Siberia Eastward where the Emperour hath his Garrisons is foure thousand and foure hundred verst or thereabouts A Verst by their reckoning is one thousand paces yet lesse by one quarter then an English myle If the whole dominion 〈◊〉 the Russe Emperour were all habitable and peopled in all places as it is in some hee would either hardly hold it all within one Regiment or bee ouer mightie for all his neighbour Princes THe Soyle of the Countrey for the most part is of a sleight sandie mold yet very much different one place from another for they yeeld of such things as 〈◊〉 out of the earth The Country Northwards towards the parts of Saint Nicholas Cola and North-east towards Sib●ria is all very barren and full of desart Woods by reason of the Clymate and extremitie of the cold in Winter time So likewise along the Riuer Volgha betwixt the Countries of Cazan and Astracan where notwithstanding the Soyle is very fruitfull it is all ●nhabi●ed sauing that vpon the Riuer Volgha on the West side the Emperour hath some few Castles with Garrisons in them This hapneth by meanes of the Chrim Tartar that will neither him selfe plant Townes to dwell there liuing a wilde and vagrant life nor suffer the Russe that is farre off with the strength of his Countrey to people those parts From Vologda which lyeth almost one thousand seuen hundred verst from the Port of Saint Nicholas downe towards Mosko and so towards the South part that bordereth vpon the Chrim which contayneth the like space of one thousand seuen hundred verst or thereabouts is a very fruitfull and pleasant Countrey yeelding Pasture and Corne with Woods and water in very great plentie The like is betwixt Rezan that lyeth South-east from Mosko to Nouograd and Vobsko that reach farthest towards the North-west So betwixt Mosko and Smolensko that lyeth South-west towards Lituania is a very fruitfull and pleasant soyle The whole Countrey differeth very much from it selfe by reason of the yeere so that a man would maruaile to see the great alteration and difference betwixt the Winter and the Summer in Russia The whole Countrey in the Winter lyeth vnder Snow which falleth continually and is sometime of a yard or two thicke but greater towards the North. The Riuers and other waters are all frozen vp a yard or more thicke how swift or broad soeuer they bee and this continueth commonly fiue Moneths viz. from the beginning of Nouember till towards the end of March what time the Snow beginneth to melt So that it would breed a frost in a man to looke abroad at that time and see the winter face of that Countrey The sharpenesse of the ayre you may judge of by this for that water dropped downe or cast vp into the ayre congealeth into Ice before it come to the ground In the extremitie of Winter if you hold a Pewter dish or pot in your hand or any other metall except in some chamber where their warme Stoues bee your fingers will freeze fast vnto it and draw of the skinne at the parting When you passe out of a warme roome into a cold you shall sensibly feele your breath to waxe starke and euen stifeling with the cold as you draw it in and out Diuers not onely that trauell abroad but in the very Markets and streets of their Townes are mortally pinched and killed withall so that you shall see many drop downe in the Streets many Trauellers brought into the Townes sitting dead and stiffe in their Sleds Diuers lose their Noses the tippes of their Eares and the balls of their Cheekes their Toes Feete c. Many times when the winter is very hard and extreame the Beares and Wolues issue by troupes out of the woods driuen by hunger and enter the Villages tearing and rauening all they can finde so that the Inhabitants are faine to flee for safegard of their liues And yet in the Summer time you shall see such a new hew and face of a Countrey the Woods for the most part which are all of Firre and Birch so fresh and so sweet the Pastures and Meadowes so greene and well growne and that vpon
