 Town of the fame Name, a few Miles to the Northward of

 whilft their Bafons , which are about twelve foot Square and 

 four Deep, have, a little below the Sftrface of the Water, fome 

 malTy Benches of Stone for the Bathers to lit upon. One of

The Lake of fame with the Lake of Lepers, mentioned by Leo \ The Wa^ 

 ^^^''' ter of thefe Fountains, when coUeded together, formeth a
