 dern Geographers have generally condu6led the Channel of 

 Their ^?npfaga towards the Gulph of Cull\ but Ours hath no 

 fuch Di region, falling into the Sea fix Leagues to the Weft-

 This River, and the Interpretation which Bochart hath left us

 Welhann, a few Leagues to the N. of Conflantina ; but, the 

 Channel lying all the way through a mountainous Tra6t, It is 

 thereby fo continually augmented with frefli Supplies, as to 

 become a conliderable River, when It emptieth Itfelf into 

 the Sea. The Welled Atty ah , and thQ Be?ti Friganah , theweikdAt-
