that Mellitus was consecrated Bishop of London The above-mentioned Prince not only assenting to his Consecration by his Presence but likewise largely contributing to the support of the Person chosen and his Successors by enriching them with great Possessions This Cathedral was dedicated by Ethelbert to St. Andrew as that which he built likewise at London was to St. Paul but whatever the Piety of that Prince and other Religious Persons after him did in former Ages contribute to its enlargement and beautifying the late prevailing Faction of some injurious Incendiaries did in a few Months dispoil and almost abolish and the Scars which still remain in its Sacred Body are too pregnant Symptoms to convince the World what usage it received from those Sacrilegious Boutefeus whose great Triumphs would have been over its Ruins and chiefest Glory to have laid its Honour in the Dust had not he who sets bounds to the tempestuous Ocean limited their Fury and rescued it from their Malice From Rochester the curious Stone-Bridge built over the River Medway by Sir Robert Knolles which is one of the largest Bridges in England being fixed upon 21 Arches and coped above with Iron Bars by Arch-Bishop Warham leads us to Stroud Stroud a Place where the Knights Templars had formerly an eminent Mansion and the Chappel of St. Nicholas was improved to a Mother Church and endowed being divided by too great a distance from the Church of Frendsbury to which it had been annexed and which was supposed uncapable for so great a conflux of People as began every day to multiply within the Liberties of Stroud Medway The River Medway is carried into the Aestuary of Thames by two Mouths the one whereof Westward is called West-Swale as the Eastern one which seems to have cut the Isle of Shepey from the Continent East-Swale but by Bede Genlad and Yenlett Now it is rather probable that this was the Swalve mentioned by Birchington P. 216. wherein Austen the Monk baptized Ten thousand Men and not the Swale in Richmondshire P. 163. that being the River where Paulinus his great Friend and Coadjutor baptized the like number Island of Shepey And now having made mention of the Isle of Shepey I cannot but observe that it was formerly very famous for two Religious Princesses Sexburga and Hermenilda Sexburga the Daughter of Anna the Seventh King of the East-Angles and his Wife Hereswyda Sister to the Holy Abbess St. Hylda was married to Erconbertus King of Kent in the Fifth Year of her Father's Reign by whom she had two Sons Egbert and Lotharius and two Daughters Ermenilda and Erkengota Sexburga after her Husband's Death governed the Kingdom of Kent twenty-four Years until her Son Egbert was grown up to be fit to undertake the Government which having once committed to him she laid aside her Royal Robes and betaking her self to this Island built here a Nunnery A. D. 710. and endowed it liberally for Seventy-seven Nuns Afterwards committing it to the care of her Daughter Ermenilda she went into the Isle of Ely to her Sister Ethelreda where after her Death she was Abbess of the same Nunnery all this while living a very severe mortified Life and giving up her self wholly to Prayer and Devotion Afterward the Nunnery being burnt by the Danes it was re-ediffed by William Arch-Bishop of Canterbury A. D. 1130. to the Honour of St. Mary and St. Sexburg But on the 21th of September the Festival of St. Matthew our Journey began to draw near to an end Gravesend for our last Stage being by Gravesend a Town notorious as well for its Block-Houses opposite to each other as the great conveniency of a Passage in Wherries every Tide up and down the River Thames to Dartford Dartford a Market Town of no small account for all sort of Grain by reason of its Vicinity to the Grand Emporium of this Nation we departed from thence to the City and arrived again at London in great Health and Safety after some months Circuit about the Maritime Coasts of Great Britain FINIS An Alphabetical Table containing the Names of all the Cities Towns Islands Hills Rivers Meers Wells and other Curiosities mentioned in this Book A ABerbarry Cave in Wales Page 24 Abington Berkshire 104 Allfretton Derbys 86 Alnwick Northumb. 135 Anglesey Island 226 Appleby Westmorl 210 Are a River in Yorks 216 Arundel Sussex 258 Ashbourn Derbys 95 Aukland Bishoprick of Durham 166 Avon a River in Glocester Worcester nad Hampshire 10 St. Asaph in Wales 223 Astroites 12 Ariconium 17 Acamannum or Akemancester 37 Adderbourn 42 Aeton College 112 Allum Mines 162 Alne a River 135 St. Andrews 188 Aberdeen 188 Albany a Hill in Scotland 181 Argyle 193 Anandale 204 Anan a River ibid.
