little heart to make any further attempt for a considerable time but left it to the quiet possession of the Britains Ninnius writeth that the 12 of King Arthur's Battels against the Saxons was at the Hill or Town of Bath where many a one was slain by his force and might Bath was also in the time of King Arthur by whom it was relieved besieged by Cheldericus King of Almain The story as mine Author relates it was thus Eodem rempore venit Cheldericus c. At the same time speaking of the reign of King Arthur came Cheldericus a valiant King out of Almaine and landed in Scotland with 500 Ships Arthur hearing of this at the siege of Colegrin near York left the siege and coming to London sent letters into Britain the less to King Hoel his Sisters Son who in a short time came into England with a great Army and was met by Arthur at winchester with great rejoycings These two going both to Nottingham which Cheldericus had besieged but not taken Arthur came upon him unawares and made a great slaughter among his men Cheldericus himself fied into a wood where Arthux finding him he swore that if he and his Souldiers were permitted to depart he would never more for the future trouble his Kingdom Arthur condescended hereto but the wind proving cross when they were on the Sea they came back again and landing at Totness did a great deal of mischief destroying the Countrey as far as Bath They of Bath shutting their Gates made a stout resistance but when this was known to Arthur then in the Marches of Scotland he came to the relief of Bath fought with Cheldericus and discomfited his Army c. yet in the year 577. On a strong siege and strong battery by the Saxons it yielded but afterwards grew into great repute and got a new name viz. Akmanchester Not long after the year 552. Ceaulmus King of the West Saxons fought with the Britains and took from them the Cities of Bath Gloucester and Worcester A. D. 676. Osbrich founded here a Nunnery and not long after Off a King of Mercia built a Church both which in the time of the Danish Wars were demolish'd out of the ruines of those two arose the Church of Saint Peter in which Edgar was Crowned as is mentioned before but of the Church more in its place This Offa was Brother to Oswald surnamed Christianissimus and is said to have spent much of his time at Bath Offa saith the Author of Brutus abbreviatus frater Oswaldi Iste Offa multum morabatur Bathoniae In the time of Edward the Confessor Bath flourished exceedingly the King having there 64 Burgers and 30 Burgers of others the City paying tribute according to 20 Hides which amounts to about 80 yard land In the reign of William Rufus Robert Mow-Cambden bray Nephew to the Bishop of Constance sack'd Br. p. 234. and burnt it The Industrious Mr. Prynne to whom I am obliged for some marginal Remarks in his Brevia Parliamentaria Rediviva and fourth part of a brief Register of Parliamentary Writs hath given an account of Citizens returned to serve in Parliament for this City ever since the 26th year of King Ed. 1. about A. D. 1298. It is also recorded that in the year 1418 in the time of H. 5. there arose a contest between the religious persons John Telyford Prior with his Covent and the Mayor about ringing of the Bells which lasted some years but was aftewards composed and brought to a good issue In Bath are three Hospitals it self indeed being but one great one St. Johns Bellots and the Bimburies sometimes called St. Katherines besides a Free-school erected as by the Inscription over the door it appears in the time of King Ed. 6. The Hospital of St. Johns was founded A. D. 1174. by Reginald fitz Joceline a Lumbard Bishop of Bath and Wells and afterwards translated to Canterbury but before he was possessed of his new honour died and was buried at Bath It was valued at the yearly Rent of 22 l. 19s 6d since which time its Revenues are much encreased he gave it this name as I suppose from St. Johns in the Savoy where he was consecrated Bishop after his return from beyond Sea by Richard Arch-Bishop of Canterbury Where by the way I cannot but take notice that this Hospital is said to be built by Joceline of Wells and Hugo Bishop of Lincolne in the late Account of the Worthies of England In which History besides the Confusion of Joceline de Wells with Reginald fitz Joceline the Author is guilty that I may say no worse of many mistakes To give an instance or two instead of a larger Catalogue that might be produc'd he affirms that Joceline of Wells was the first man that fixed on the title of Bishop of Bath and Wells and transmitted it to all his Successors when 't is manifest out of Bishop Godwins Catalogue of Bishops that Robert Bishop of Wells was the man the 18 th Bishop of that See and not Joceline who was the 21. He writes also which is a thing I confess of no great moment but yet a mistake that the famous Dr. Harvey was never married when his Wife is mentioned by himself And to instance in no more now because I would not digress too far he avers the same person though living a Batchellor to have left behind him three Children which he calls his three Books viz. De Sanguinis Circuitu De Generatione De Ovo whereas the Doctor that ever I could find who possibly have made as diligent a search after the writings of that modest ingenious and however the ignorance and envy of some have endeavoured to traduce him learned Physitian whose memory I deservedly respect and honour as any other can I say Dr. Harvey that ever I could understand never printed any thing besides his Treatise of the Circulation of the Blood and his Exercitations concerning the Generation of Animals the Historian making two Books of De Generatione de Ove when indeed they are but one I acknowledge he mentions many things intended for the publick as 1. Exercitations about Respiration of Animals 2. A Treatise of the Love lust and gendring of living Creatures 3. Of Nutrition 4. Medicinal Observations 5. Physiologia with some others wherein no doubt that excellent Person had made many rare and considerable discoveries which we are so happy now to enjoy but that any thing else save the two forementioned Treatises was permitted or any other Book De Ovo composed by Dr. Harvey besides that De Generations Animalium wherein he ingeniously observes the Primordium or first beginning of all living Creatures to be either an egg or something Analogical to it I should be very glad to be informed Bellots Hospital was built by Thomas Bellot Esquire one of the Executors of the Lord Cecill in the time of King James of whom we

cover their Bath at Apono We see also that most of the Baths in Europe are covered whereby they retain the same temperature at all times And it were to be wished that our Queens Bath and Cross-Bath being small Baths were covered and their Slips made close and warm By this means our Baths would be useful all the year wh●● neither wind and cold air in Winter nor the Sun in Summer should hinder our bathing Moreover for want of this benefit many who have indifferently well recovered in the Fall do fall back again in the winter before the Cure be perfectly finished and as this would be a great benefit to many weak persons so it would be no harm to this City if it may be a means of procuring more resort hither in the Winter time or more early in the Spring or more late at the Fall I desire not novelties or to bring in innovations but I propound these things upon good grounds and examples of the best Baths in Europe and so I desire to have them considered of referring both this point and whatsoever else I have said in this Discourse to the censure of those who are able to judge I do purposely omit many things about the virtues and uses of our Baths which belong properly to the Physitian and cannot well be intimated to the patient without dangerous mistaking For as Galen faith our Art of Physick goes upon two legs Reason and Experience and if either of these be defective our Physick must needs be lame Experience was first in order Per varios usus artem experientia socit Exemplo monstrante viam From much Experience th' Art of Physick ●●●e Directed by Example to the same Reason followed which without Experience makes a meer contemplative and theorical Physitian Experience without Reason makes a meer Emperick no better than a Nurse or an attendant upon sick persons who is not able out of all the experience he hath to gather rules for the cure of others Wherefore they must be both joyned together and therefore I refer Physitians works unto Physitians themselves FINIS AN APPENDIX CONCERNING BATHE Wherein The ANTIQUITY Both of The Bathes and City Is more fully discours'd with a brief account of the Nature and Vertues of the HOT WATERS there By THO.

Reigns and also because Gwenthlea or Guendoloena and Leill are said by other Historians to have Reigned 40 years viz. the former 15 the later 25 which are not there accounted for the surer way will be to take our account from the Year of the World Now Brute being reported to have entred Albion A.M. 2855 and Bladud to have begun his Reign A.M. 3100 the difference between these two numbers is 245 which being taken out of 1108 the year before Christ in which Brute came hither answering to the Year of the World 2855 the Remainder will be 863 the Year before Christ answering to the Year of the World 3100 so that according to this Computation Bladud began his Reign over the Britains just 863 years before Christ was born and Reigning 20 years died in the Year Ante Christum 843 I know Fabian the Author of Polychronicon and others differ somewhat in their Chronologie concerning Bladud from that I have given but I look on this to be as probable as any Alexander Necham a Poet of our own somewhat above 400 years ago with whom as to the Antiquity of the Bathes Dr. Jorden contents himself wrote these Verses on the Bathes BAthoniae Thermis vix praefero Virgillanas Confecto prosunt Balnea nostra seni prosunt Attritis Collisis Invalidisque Et quorum morbis frigida causa subest Praevenit humanum stabilis natura laborem Servit naturae legibus artis opus Igne suo succensa quibus data Balnea fervent AEnea subter aquas vasa latere putant Errorem figmenta solent inducere passim Sed quid Sulphureum novimus esse locum Which I thus made English BAthes Bains with Virgils I compare Usefull for antient folk they are Bruis'd weak consum'd as well as old And in al griefs whose source is cold Nature mans labour doth prevent And art again serves her intent There 's fire under-ground some say That thus makes Bathes great pots to play Fancy doth often Error breed But what from Brimstone these proceed CHAP. II. Of the Antiquity of the City of Bath and things relating thereunto Bathe called first Caer Blaeidin afterwards Caer Bathe When inhabited Coill and Edgar whose Statues stand at the end of the Council-house who and when they flourished Bathe besieged by the Saxons relieved by King Arthar Offa's Church Difference between the Mayor and Covent Hospitals Free-School The Author of the History of the Worthies of England censured and some of his mistakes discovered IT is not I think to be doubted but that the Bathes were before the City and gave Name to it Sick people in all probability that came hither for relief first making small Cottages for their Conveniences which were afterwards improved into fairer Buildings So that now in this particular there are few places in England that exceed it That this place was built or rather begun by King Bladud is the opinion of some and that he called it by his own Name Caer Blaeidin which sometime after came to be Caer Bathe That it was inhabited in the time of the Britains at least 50 years before Christ appears from the names they gave it of Caer Badon and Caer Palladdur of which before unless it be said that these Names might be given by some Britains in the Romans or Saxons time which seems not to carry any great probability Nay I find it recorded that in the year ante Christum 684. Sisillus or after some Writers Sylvius Brother of Gurgustus was made Ruler over Britain and reigning 49 years was buried at Caer Badon or Bath However many Roman Monuments there are Inscriptions and Images in the City walls and elsewhere of which Chap. 4. gives a particular Account which evidently prove its being frequented before the 412 year of Christs Incarnation about which time or as others account 430 the Roman Jurisdiction ceased in this Island The Statues also of Coill a British King and Edgar a Saxon who are said to have given Charters to this City placed at the end of the Town-Hall or Council-House are Arguments of its Antiquity Coill that I may speak somewhat briefly of him was an Earl in the time of Asclepiades whom the Britains after the death of Lucius being wearied out with a bloody intestine War which lasted more than 50 years were at last conftrained to elect their King about the year of Our Lord 250. Afterwards aspiring to be greater and building a Town which from himself he called Colchester Asclepiades began to fear him and raising an Army met him in the field in which Battle Aselepiades was slain and shortly after Coill chosen King who governed the Britains with a great deal of honour and having married his Daughter Helena to Constantius sent from Rome into Britain to demand Tribute not long after dyed and was buried at Colchester yet some there are who ascribe the building of this Town to Coilus Son of Marucis and Father of Lucius King of the Britains A. D. 126. Edgar one of the later Kings of the Saxons bestowed on this City as Mr. Cambden reports very many Immunities the memory of which thing even in his time the Citizens yearly with solemn playes did celebrate He was a stout man and is said to have had none like him on this side Arthur bearing this stile about the year 970. The Monarch of all Albion Or as it is elsewhere more largely express'd King of English-men and of all the Kings of the Islands of the British Ocean and all the Nations contained in Britain Emperour and Lord. A Souldier he was in the Camp of Cupid as well as Mars and is noted for this That having a mind to Estrilda the Wife of Athelwold he placed him as David did Uriah in the front of a Battel against the Danes in the defence of York where Athelwold being slain Edgar married his Widdow but was so severely check'd by Saint Dunstant that he ever after lived a religions life and having reigned 17 years bid adieu to the World and was buried at Glastonbury Edgar began his reign about the year of Christ 959. but was not Crowned till 12 years after A.D. 971. which was done according to some writers at Bath to others at Kingston by Dunstan Arch-Bishop of Canterbury who some say was banished at that time and Oswald Arch-Bishou of York his Coronation was deferred because of his impetuous inclinations to the female Sex and especially to one wilfride who to avoid the Kings Caresses took on her the habit of a Nun but in vain for he had his pleasure and got on her a daughter named Edith for which offence he was enjoyned seven years penance and lived not long after his Coronation About the year 472 or 44 years after their arrival here out of Germany the English Saxons besieged this City with whom King Arthur fought a great Battel on Mons Badonicus now called Bannesdowne and slew so many of them that they had

in allusion to the parable of Jotham of which this is part Trees going to chuse their King Said be to us the Oliver King Which in the late times caused some to suspect it for a Prophesie with a Miter over all This Oliver King was Doctor of Laws of Kings Colledge in Cambridge Principal Secretary to three Monarchs of this Land Edward the 4th Edward the 5th and Henry the 7th Register of the Knights of the Garter Bishop of Exeter and thence translated hither Novemb. 6. 1495. died Jan. 34. 1503. and is thought to lie buried at Windsor where he was sometime Canon The Death of Bishop King obstructed this Structure as a Reverend Doctor is pleased to quibble so that it stood a long time neglected which gave occasion to one to write on the Church Wall with a Char-coal O Church I wail thy woful plight Whom King nor Card'nal Clark nor Knight Have yet restor'd to antient right Alluding herein to Bishop King who began it and his four Successors in 35 years viz. Cardinal Hadrian mentioned before who sat Bishop 12 years and was afterwards deprived of this and all other promotions for conspiring with some other Cardinals the Death of Pope Leo the 10th Cardinal Wolsey who held the Bishoprick in Commandam four years and was then translated to Durham Bishop Clark who sate 19 years and died in the end of the year 1540 being poysoned as was supposed in Germany when he went Ambassadour to the Duke of Cleve to give a reason of the Kings Divorce from the Lady Anne of Cleve his Sister and Bishop Knight These four contributing nothing considerable to the finishing thereof Also one Cassadore a popishly affected person wrote a Prophesie of this Church to be seen in Fullers Worthies with what he thinks is the meaning of it Upon the dissolution of the Abbey the Church was uncovered the Lead taken away and the Walls much ruin'd and so continued for some time But since its last demolition in the Reign of King Henry the 8th it hath thrice been attempted to be re-edified First in the time of Queen Elizabeth by a General Collection by which the Work was not much advanc'd The Second in the beginning of the Reign of King James A. D. 1604. in whose time it met with many Benefactors the principal whereof to this second work was Thomas Bellot Esquire Steward of the House and one of the Executors of the Right Honourable William Lord Barkley sometime Lord Treasurer of England who made some entrance on this Work in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth and last of all about the middle of King James's Reign it was finish'd and brought to perfection as by the Munificence of Noble men Knights Gentlemen and others whose Names are on Record so especially by the liberal hand of Dr. James Mountague sometime Bishop of this Diocese who at one time gave 1000 pounds toward its Reparation and lies buried in the body of the Church deceased July 20.1618 It appears also from the Memorials of the Church that before the first of these three last attempts to repair it there was little of the Church standing save the bare Walls and those too in many places much impaired which being then as it was decayed in the hands of Edmund Colethurst Esquire was by him bestowed on the City though uncovered and much ruin'd as it had long stood after the dissolution and therefore he bears the name of the principal Benefactor to the first work The particulars of the Reparations with the Names and Sums of the Benefactors from the time of Queen Elizabeth downwards which are not for me here distinctly to mention are Recorded in a Book kept for that purpose in the Library belonging to the Church begun by Bishop Lake and augmented by some others but yet stands in need of the helping hands of more Benefactors And although I have said so much concerning this Church already yet I shall crave leave to add as a Conclusion to this Matter a Poem which accidentally came to my hands by the means of Mr. John Parker Citizen of Bathe a lover of Antiquity and my good Friend to whom I acknowledge my self engag'd for the assistance he afforded me in my search after the Antiquities of the the City found in the Study among other Papers of that learned Knight Sir John Harrington whether made by himself as some imagine who well might do it having a great genius to Poetry and called by Dr. Fuller one of the most ingenious Poets of our Nation or some other I know not written and as it seems spoken to Bishop Mountague at his first coming to Bathe and Sight of the Church which I should have translated but that the Substance of it as much as is necessary to be known for History is contained in the foregoing account However to preserve it from perishing and to gratifie the lover of Antiquity to whom I chuse rather to incur the censure of being Prodigal then any way Nice in with-holding any thing I think may deserve their acceptance I shall insert it here in Latin as I found it The Title thus Conditionis Variae ECCLESIAE SANCTI PETRI PAULI Bathoniensis A PRIMIS FUNDAMENTIS Actis an 775 AD ANNUM DECURRENTEM 1609.
