 lyeth behind This Gulph, is low and marfliy in feveral Places ; 

 yet I could not learn that the Air was remarkable for any ill

 furrounded with Water: which however might have always 

 been drained off, together with the fuperfluous Moifture of the

 of This Kingdom for Oyl, hath a flourifhing Trade inLinnens, 

 and may be reckoned one of the moft confiderable Cities of the 

 Tunifeens. Here are feveral Vaults, Granite Pillars, and other 

 Tokens of It's having been formerly a Place of fome Repute :
