Humphrey Jones of Craveleyn, Gentleman. Diverfe other tall 

 and able men dwelt in the countrey, which drew to him, as to 

 their defender and captaine of the countrey, foe as within the fpace 

 of certaine yeares, he was able to make feven fcore tall bowmen 

 of his followers, arrayed, as I have credibly heard, in this man- 

 ner. Every one of them had a jacket or armolett coate, a good 

 fieele cappe, a fhort fword and a dagger, together with his bow 

 and arrowes ; moft of them alfoe had horfes, and chafing .Haves', 

 which were to anfwere the crie upon all events. 



Whereby he grew foe ftrong that he began to put back and to 

 curbe the fan&uary of thieves and robbers'", which at times were 

 wont to be above a hundred, well horfed and well appointed. 



It is to be noted likewife, that certaine gentlemen and free- 

 holders dwelt in the countrey, but not many, who were to an* 

 fwere the crie, and to come alfo upon the like diftrefle.

 Hence it is poffibly called Yfpytty Evan ; it is now a fmall village lituated 

 on the Conway. Dr. Davis renders Yfpytty hofpitlum.
