A06607	Euphues and his England Containing his voyage and his aduentures, myxed with sundrie pretie discourses of honest loue, the discription of the countrey, the court, and the manners of that isle. Delightful to be read, and nothing hurtfull to be regarded: wherein there is small offence by lightnesse giuen to the wise, and lesse occasion of looseness proffered to the wanton. By Iohn Lyly, Maister of Arte. Commend it, or amend it.	Lyly, John, 1554?-1606.	1580 (1580)	STC 17070; ESTC S106953	185,944	280

lightes to suche as are in darkenesse salt to those that are vnsauozie leauen to such as are not seasoned Uisitations are holden oftentimes wher-by abuses and disorders either in the laitie for negligence or in the clergie for superstitiō or in al for wicked liuing ther are punishments by due execution wherof the diuine seruice of God is honoured with more puritie and followed with greater senceritie There are also in this Island two famous Uniuersities the one Oxforde the other Cambredge both for the profession of all sciences for Diuinitie Phisicke Lawe and all kinde of learning excelling al the Uniuersities in Christendome I was my selfe in either of them and like them both so well that I meane not in the way of controuersie to prefer any for y e better in England but both for the best in the world sauing this y t Colledges in Oxenforde are much more stately for the building Cambridge much more sumptuous for the houses in y e towne but the learning neither lyeth in the frée stones of the one nor y e fine streates of the other for out of them both doe dayly procéede men of great wisedome to rule in y e common welth of learning to instruct y e common people of all singuler kinde of professions to do good to all And let this suffice not to enquire which of them is the superiour but that neither of them haue their equall neither to aske which of them is the most auncient but whether any other be so famous But to procéede in England their buildinges are not very stately vnlesse it be the houses of noble men here and ther the place of a Gentleman but much amended as they report y t haue tolde me For their munition they haue not onely great store but also great running to vse them and courage to practise thē their armour is not vnlike vnto that which in other countryes they vse as Corslets Almaine Kiuetts shirts of male iacks quilted and couered ouer with Leather Fustiō or Canuas ouer thick plates of yron that are sowed in the same The ordinance they haue is great and therof great store Their Nauie is deuided as it were into thrée sorts of the which the one serueth for wars the other for burdē the third for fishermen And some vessels ther be I know not by experience yet I beléeue by circumstance that wil saile nine hundred miles in a wéeke when I should scarce thinke that a birde could flye foure hundred Touching other commodities they haue foure bathes the first called Saint Vincents the second Hallie well the third Buxton the fourth as in olde time they read Cair Bledud but now taking his name of a towne néere adioyning it is called the Bath Besides this many wonders ther are to be found in this Iland which I wil not repeat bicause I my self neuer saw them and you haue heard of greater Concerning their dyet in number of dishes chaunge of meat the Nobilitie of England do excéed most hauing all things that either may be bought for mony or gotten for the season Gentlemen and Merchaunts féede verye finely a poore man it is that dineth with one dish and yet so content with a little that hauing half dined they say as it wer in a Prouerb that they are as wel satisfied as the Lord Maior of London whom they thinke to fare best though he eate not most In their meales ther is great silence and grauitie vsing wine rather to ease the stomarke then to load it not like vnto other nations who neuer thinke y t they haue dined till they be drunken The attire they vse is rather led by the imitation of others then their owne inuention so that ther is nothing in England more constant than y e inconstancie of attire now vsing the French fashion now the Spanish then the Morisco gownes then one thing then another insomuch that in drawing of an Englishman y e painter setteth him downe naked hauing in the one hand a payre of shéeres in the other a péece of cloth who hauing cut his cholar after y e French guyse is ready to make his sléeue after the Barbarian manner And although this were the greatest enormitie that I could see in England yet is it to be excused for they that cannot maintein this pride must leaue of necessitie and they that be able will leaue when they sée the vanitie The lawes they vse are differēt from ours for although the common and ciuill law be not abolished yet are they not had in so great reputation as their own cōmon lawes which they tearme the lawes of the Crowne The regement that they haue dependeth vppon statute law that is by Parliament which is the highest court consisting of thrée seuerall sorts of people the Nobilytie Clergie and Commons of the Realme so as whatsoeuer be among them enacted the Quéene striketh the stroke allowing such things as to hir Maiestie séemeth best Then vpon common law which standeth vpon Maximes and principles yeares and tearmes the cases in this law are called plées or actions and they are either criminall or ciuill the meane to determine are writs some originall some iudiciall Their trialls recoueries are either by verdit or demur confession or defalt wherin if any falt haue ben committed either in processe or forme matter or iudgement the partie grieued may haue a writ of error Then vpon customable law which consisteth vpon laudable customes vsed in some priuate countrey Last of all vpon prescription which is a certeine custome continued time out of minde but it is more particuler then their customary law Murtherers théeues are hanged witches burnt al other villanies that deserue death punished w t death insomuch that ther are very few haynous offences practised in respect of those that in other countries are commonly vsed Of sauage beastes and vermyne they haue no great store nor any that are noysome the cattell they kéepe for profite are Oren Horses Shéepe Goates Swine and such like wheroff they haue abundance wilde foule fish they want none nor any thing that either may serue for pleasure or profite They haue more store of pasture then tillage their meddows better then their corne fields which maketh more grasiors then Cornmongers yet sufficient store of both They excell for one thing their Dogs of all sorts spaniels hounds mastifs diuers such y t one they kéepe for hunting and hawking the other for necessary vses about their houses as to draw water to watch théeues c. and thereoff they deriue the word Mastife of Mase and théefe There is in that Isle Salt made Saffron ther are great quarries of stones for building sundry minerals of Quicksiluer Antimony Sulphur black Lead and Orpiment redde and yeolow Also ther groweth the finest Allum y t is Uermilion Bittament Chrisocolla Coporus the mineral stone whereoff Petreolum is made and that which is most strange the mineral pearle which as they are for
