The Golden 

 Valley is the 

 Paradise of

 Severn. 



WATER-WORKES. 



Market or other place, at the best rates 

 of the Kingdome, unlesse it bee in the 

 Mountaines, where Owen Glindour was 

 shutt up : A place unfit for Trades. There, 

 a Crafts-man may have twenty Eggs a 

 penny, a good round Bullocke for two 

 Markes, and other necessaries rate- 

 ably. 



But I speake of the Golden-Vale, the 

 Lombardy of Herefordshire^ the Garden of 

 the Old Gallants and Paradice of the back- 

 side of the Principallitie. I protest, had 

 I foure little Livings joyning to some I 

 have, I would not change my poore estate 

 to bee great Duke of Muscovia, where 

 the flesh falles from the face in a frosty 

 morning, like Lime from a Seeling 

 soaked with Raine. But to prosecute 

 mine argument, and that your Lordship 

 shall not thinke I forget my selfe, I must 

 let you know they shall neither Roste, 

 Bake, nor Boyle : mine owne Range, 

 Ovens, and Furnesse, shall ever doe them 

 that service with-out their trouble or 

 charge, with little losse unto mee. All 

 Trades under my obeysance, shall bee 

 at their election, whether they will 

 buy their flesh Rawe, Roasted, Boyled,
