F O 'R 
verfion from Hie Hebrew of The Prophecy of Tfaiah, 
with a Commentary ; which is a work of conliderable me¬ 
rit ; and has can fed the lofs of other Commentaries writ¬ 
ten by him, on the other prophets, and on the books of 
Job and the Plaints, to be a matter of much regret. 
This Commentary was afterwards reprin’ed at Antwerp, 
and was inferted in the fifth volume of the Critici Sacri, 
publifhed at London in 1660. Foreiro was one of the 
three divines feledled by the council of Trent to draw up 
their catechifm, which was publifhed in 1566; and he 
alfo appears to have been employed by them on a reform 
of the Miffal and Roman Breviary. He was made prior 
of Lifbon ; and in 1568 was cliofen provincial of his order. 
He finally withdrew to the convent of Almada which he 
had built, and died there in 1587.

To FOREKNOW', v.a. To have prefcience of; to

all men born in the world fhall die again ; that after 
winter the fpring fhall come; after the fpring, fummer

any of thofe. Raleigh. 
Who would the miferies of man foreknow? 
Not knowing, we but fiiare our part of woe. Dry den. 
FOREKNOW'ABLE, adj. Pofiible to be known be¬ 
fore they happen. — It is certainly foreknowable what they

If I foreknew, 
Foreknowledge had no influence on their fault. 
Which had no lefs prov’d certain unforeknown. Milton. 
FO'RELAND, f. A promontory ; headland ; high 
land jutting into the fea ; a cape : 
As when a (hip, by (kilfttl fteerfman wrought, 
Nigh fiver’s mouth, or foreland , where the wind 
Veers oft, as oft fo Peers, and (hifts her fails. Milton . 
FO'RELAND (.Fair), on the north-eaft extremity of 
the coaft of Ireland, eight leagues to the ’north-weft 
wefterly from Old Fleet harbour, the fhore being all along 
fair and clean, fo that (hips may fail clofe'along by it 
without any fear, to the weft of Fair Foreland, and anchor 
every where in eight or nine fathoms, under the point of 
Rathlin, free from eafterly winds. The ifland of Rath- 
lin is but a little aidant off the promontory of Fair Fore¬ 
land, to the north-weftward, and fitips may fail round it, 
as winds and tides ferve. 
FO'RELAND (Fair), in the Greenland feas, is fitu- 
ated in lat. 66. 18. N. and Ion. 26. 35. W. 
FO'RELAND (Fair), another point of land fo called 
on the coaft of Spitzbergen, or Eaft Greenland, in 
lat. 79. 18. N. and Ion. 10. 45. E. 
FO RELAND (North), a promontory of England, in 
the ifle-.of Thanet, of which, and of the whole county 
of Kent, it is the north-eaft limit, and is afeertained and 
declared by aft of parliament, to be the moll fouthern 
part of the port of London. From hence this boundary 
extends northward acrois the mouth of the river Thames 
to the point called the Naze on the coaft of Elfex. This 
imaginary line is what properly forms the mouth, of tile 
FOR 563 
Thames; and all the towns and harbours within thefe 
limits on both (horesare members of .the port of London, 
and fubjetSl to its jurifdidtion. Lat. 51.23. N. Ion. 1.17. 
E. Greenwich.—A fea mark has been eredhed on this 
promontory at the public expence by the corporation of 
the Trinity-houfe at Deptford ; and the cape on which 
it (lands not only reaches farther into the fea, but ts 
higher, than the reft of the land thereabouts. Two (lo¬ 
ries of brick have been raifed on the former building ; 
and its height, including the fmall room in which the 
lights are kept, is more than one hundred feet. The laft 
is in the form of a dome, about ten feet in diameter, and 
twelve in height, and is raifed on a decagon, or turret of 
ten fides, coated with copper, and having a gallery round 
it. There is a very extenfive view from this gallery ; 
and, when the air is clear, the lights may be feen as far 
as the Nore at thediftance of ten leagues. Patent lamps, 
which coft fifty pounds a-piece, with a refledlor and 
magnifier, burn the whole night on each fide of the de¬ 
cagon towards the fea; but the two fides next the land, 
as they could not be wanted, are walled up. 
FO'RELAND (South), a cape of England, on the 
eaft coaft of the county of Kent, between Dover and Deal. 
Lat.51. 12. N. Ion. 1.17. E.Greenwich. — From the South 
Foreland to Calais the diftance is feven leagues at about 
fouth-eaft, and to Dieppe twenty-feven leagues at fouth- 
half-weft, and fix leagues at foilth-weft by foutli to Dun- 
genefs. When a (hip is in the channel, in a depth of 
twenty-four fathoms, both Calais Cliff and the South 
Foreland may be feen ; and Fairlee and this Foreland 
may be perceived in twenty-fix and twenty-feven fathoms 
by a (hip between Winchelfea and the coaft of Picardy. 
The fituation of the South and North Foreland forms 
a great fecurity to the Downs, which is the road for (hip¬ 
ping between them, ferving to break off the violence of 
the fea from it, thi\t would otherwife render it a very 
wild and dangerous ftation, and prevent its life as a road. 
For there is a very heavy fea frequently rolling up from 
the weft to the Flats or banks of fand that for three 
leagues together run parallel with the (hore, at the dif¬ 
tance of a league and a half, and are dry at low water. 
Thefe two capes, therefore, break off the force of, the 
fea from the fouth-eaft-by-fouth and fouth-weft, and fo 
make the Downs a pretty fecure road ; but when the 
wind blows very hard from the fouth-eaft or eaft-by-north, 
or a point more northerly, (hips are frequently drove 
from their anchors, and otten run on-flrore, being either 
forced upon the fands, or obliged to run into Sandwich 
bay or Ramfgate pier. 
FO'RELAND (South), a cape on the weft coaft of 
North America, in Cook’s river. Lat. 60. 50. N. Ion. 
151. 20. W. Greenwich. 
To FORELA'Y, v. a. To lay wait for ; to intrap by 
ambufh : 
A ferpent (hoots his fting at unaware ; 
An ambufh’d thief forelays a traveller:

One gains the thickets, and one thrifts the brake. Dryden. 
To contrive antecedently. 
To FORELE'ND, v.a. Previoufly to confign.—As if 
that life to Ioffe they had forclent. Spcnfer. 
To FORELI'FT, v. a. To raiffe aloft any interior part: 
So dreadfully he towards him did pafs, 
Forelifting up aloft his fpeckled bread ;

FO'RF.LOCK, f. The hair that gmws from the fore¬ 
part of the head.—Time is painted with a lock before, 
and bald behind, dignifying thereby that we muff take 
time by thb jorelock ; for when it is once pad, there is no 
recalling it. Swift. 
Hydcinthiae locks, 
Round from his parted forelock manly hung, 
Cluft’ring, but not beneath his Ihoulders broad. Milton.
