fo great a Giant (having no account of his dimenfions) that it 
was taken for ^ wonderful ftrange thing, that when a great prefs 
of people came running upon him, he had like to have beeri 
killed.

nate ftatures, the fame Vliny ' tells of two others living in the 
time of Augu^lm^ nick-named Tufio and Secundilla^ whofe bo^ 
dies were preferved for a wonder in the Salujlian Gardens, that 
wxre ten foot high : and that in his time there was one Gahhara^ 
brought out of Arabia^ in the days of Prince C/(2«<^iz^ the Em- 
peror, exaftly of the height of Goliath^ viz^. nine foot nine 
inches high''; which being a cize very proportionable to our 
bone found at Comwdl^ I am rather inclined to believe, that Clau- 
dim brought this Gabbara into Britan with him, who pofTibly 
might dye and lay his bones here, than that ever they belonged 
to any Elephant \ except we (liall rather fay, that here alfo Cori- 
n^us^ cofin to Brute^ might kill one of Gogmagog\ race, and that 
from him the place doth take his name, as well as the County of 
Cornvpall.

of the /eiry, where he tells us of one Ekazar^ a Jew born, feat 
amongft the Prefents to Tiberim^ when Darius the Son of Jrta- 
banusK'mg of Perfia^ after a Peace made, went as a Hoflage to 
Rome^ that was full feven Cubits in height. And there is a Sce- 
kton ^ now to be feen in the Town-hall at Lucern, found under 
an old Oak in the County of WiUifau^ near a Village called Rey- 
dm^ within the jurifdidion of that City, that gives further con- 
firmation, it having all, or moil of the bones wherein a Man 
differs from other Animals , and being above feventeen foot 
liigh.
