           in
           this
           Watry
           Region
           ,
           I
           might
           behold
           from
           a
           streight
           long
           Dike
           whereon
           I
           stood
           ,
           a
           strange
           kind
           of
           Forrest
           ,
           for
           the
           trees
           mov'd
           up
           and
           down
           ;
           they
           look'd
           afar
           off
           as
           if
           they
           had
           bin
           blasted
           by
           thunder
           ;
           for
           they
           had
           no
           leafs
           at
           all
           ;
           but
           making
           a
           neerer
           approach
           unto
           them
           ,
           I
           found
           they
           were
           a
           nomberlesse
           company
           of
           Ship

           and
           before
           them
           appeer'd
           a
           great
           Town
           incorporated
           up
           and
           down
           with
           
           Water
           ;
           As
           I
           mus'd
           with
           my self
           upon
           the
           sight
           of
           all
           this
           ,
           I
           concluded
           ,
           that
           the
           Inhabitants
           of
           that
           Countrey
           were
           notable
           industrious
           peeple
           ,
           who
           could
           give
           Law
           so
           to
           the
           angry
           
             Ocean
             ,
          
           and
           occupie
           those
           places
           where
           the
           great
           
             Leviathan
          
           should
           tumble
           and
           take
           his
           pastime
           in
           ;
           As
           my
           thought
           ran
           thus
           ,
           I
           met
           with
           a
           man
           ,
           whom
           I
           conjectur'd
           to
           be
           'twixt
           a
           Marchant
           and
           a
           Mariner
           ,
           his
           salutation
           was
           so
           homely
           ;
           the
           air
           also
           was
           so
           foggie
           that
           me
           thought
           it
           stuck
           like
           cobbwebs
           in
           his
           Mustachos
           ;
           &
           he
           
           was
           so
           dull
           in
           point
           of
           motion
           ,
           as
           if
           his
           veines
           had
           bin
           filld
           with
           buttermilk
           in
           lieu
           of
           blood
           :
           I
           began
           to
           mingle
           words
           with
           him
           ,
           and
           to
           expostulate
           somthing
           about
           that
           Countrey
           and
           peeple
           ;
           and
           then
           I
           found
           a
           great
           deal
           of
           downright
           civilities
           in
           him
           :
           He
           told
           me
           that
           
             They
          
           were

           only
           men

           beyond
           any
           expressions
           of
           mine
           ,
           and
           indeed
           beyond
           humane
           imagination
           to
           conceive
           the
           late
           calamities
           which
           have
           befallen
           this
           faire
           though
           infortunate
           City
           ,
           a
           pernicious
           popular
           Rebellion
           broke
           out
           here
           upon
           a
           sudden
           into
           most
           horrid
           barbarismes
           ,
           a
           Fate
           that
           hangs
           over
           most
           rich
           popular
           places
           that
           swim
           in
           luxe
           and
           plenty
           ;
           but
           touching
           the
           grounds
           thereof
           ,
           one
           may
           say
           that
           rebellion
           entred
           into
           this
           City
           ,
           as
           sin
           first
           entred
           into
           the
           world
           by
           an
           
             apple
             :
          
           For
           our
           King
           now
           in
           his
           great
           extremities
           having
           almost
           halfe
           the
           world
           banding
           against
           him
           ,
           and
           putting
           but
           a
           small
           tax
           upon
           a
           basket
           of
           fruit
           to
           last
           only
           for
           a
           time

           this
           
             fruit-tax

           put
           the
           peeples
           teeth
           so
           on
           edge
           ,
           that
           it
           made
           them
           gnash
           against
           the
           Government
           ,
           and
           rush
           into
           Armes
           ;
           but
           they
           are
           sensible
           now
           of
           their
           own
           follies

           more
           in
           so
           short
           a

           be
           said
           to
           be
           but
           small
           squibs
           compar'd
           to
           those
           horrid
           flakes
           of
           fire
           which
           have

           and
           much
           adoe
           we
           had

             fire
          
           free
           from
           the
           fury
           of
           it
           :
           in
           lesse
           then
           the
           revolution
           of
           a
           yeer
           it

           But
           't
           is
           not
           the
           first
           time
           of
           forty
           ,
           that
           this
           luxurious
           foolish
           peeple
           hath
           sma●ted
           for
           their
           insurrections
           and
           insolencies
           ,
           and
           that
           this
           mad
           
             horse
          
           hath

           his
           Rider

           worse
           upon
           his
           back

           who
           instead
           of
           a
           saddle
           ,
           put

           and
           Panniers
           upon
           him
           :
           but
           indeed
           the
           voluptuousnesse
           of
           this
           peeple
           was
           growne
           ripe
           for
           the
           judgement
           of
           heaven
           ;
           
           she
           was
           then
           beginning
           to
           expostulat
           with
           me
           about
           the
           state
           of
           my
           Countrey
           ,
           and
           I
           had
           a
           mighty
           mind
           to
           satisfie
           her
           ,
           for
           I
           could
           have
           corresponded
           with
           her
           in
           the
           relation
           of
           as
           strange
           things
           ,
           but
           the
           Lady
           
             Abadesse
          
           calling
           her
           away
           ,
           she
           departed
           in
           an
           instant
           ,
           obedience
           seem'd
           to
           be
           there
           so
           precise
           and
           punctuall
           .
        
         
           I
           steer'd
           my
           course
           thence
           through
           a
           most
           delicious
           Countrey
           to
           another
           City
           that
           lay
           in
           the
           very
           bosome
           of
           the
           Sea
           ,
           she
           was
           at
           first
           nothing
           els
           but
           a
           kind
           of
           posie
           made
           up
           of
           dainty
           green
           hillocks
           ,
           tied
           together
           by
           above
           400.
           bridges
           ,
           and
           so
           coagulated
           into
           a
           curious
           Citie
           ;
           though
           she
           be
           espous'd
           to
           
             Neptune
          
           very
           solemnly
           once
           evry
           yeer
           ,
           yet
           she
           still
           reserves
           her
           maydenhead
           ,
           and
           beares
           the
           title
           of
           the
           
             Virgin
             Citie
          
           in

           part
           of
           the
           world
           ;
           But
           I
           found
           her
           tugging
           mainly
           with
           a
           huge
           Giant
           that
           wold
           ravish
           her
           ;
           He
           hath
           shrewdly
           set
           on
           her
           skirts
           ,
           and
           a
           great
           shame
           it
           is
           ,
           that
           she
           is
           not
           now
           assisted
           by
           her
           Neighbours

           &
           that
           they
           shold
           be
           together
           by
           the
           eares
           when
           they
           shold
           do
           so
           necessary
           a
           work

           considering

           Giant
           is

           and
           hath
           lately
           vow'd
           
             seven
             yeers
          
           warrs
           against
           her
           ;
           specially
           considering
           ,
           that

           rampart
           against

           gulf

           into
           another
           Kingdome

           where
           I
           felt
           the
           Clime
           hotter
           by
           some

           for
           the
           most
           part

           it
           was
           ,
           full
           of
           craggie
           barren
           hills

           but
           where
           there
           were
           valleys

           water
           enough
           ,
           the

           was
           extraordinarily
           fruitfull

           whereby
           nature
           (
           it
           seems
           )
           made
           her
           a
           compensation
           for
           the

           I
           perceived
           him

           a
           Jesuit

           I
           clos'd

           him
           about

           He
           told
           me
           the
           King
           of

           he
           began

           so
           we
           parted

           and
           me
           thought

           and
           asked
           him
           what
           the
           reason

           I
           spied

           City
           whose
           length

           insomuch
           that
           she
           was
           repin'd

           full
           expergefaction
           ,
           I
           began
           to
           call
           my self
           to
           account
           touching
           those
           world
           of
           objects

           fancy
           had
           represented
           unto
           me
           that
           night

           and
           when
           by
           way
           of
           reminisence
           I
           fell
           to
           examine
           and
           ruminate
           upon
           them

           Lord

           what
           a

           of
           
             Ideas

           but
           when
           I
           call'd

           the

           me
           thought
           I
           felt
           my
           heart
           like
           a
           lump
           of
           lead
           within

           when
           I
           considerd
           how
           pat
           every
           circumstance
           might
           be
           applied

           the
           present
           condition
           of
           
             England
             :
          
           I
           was
           meditating
           with
           my self
           what
           kind
           of
           dream
           this
           might
           be
           ;
           whereupon
           I
           thought
           upon
           the
           common
           division
           that
           Philosophers
           make
           of
           dreames

           that
           they
           are

           Another
           dreamt
           ,
           that
           
             Xanthus
          
           water
           ran
           red
           ,
           and
           the
           next
           day
           he
           fell
           a
           spitting
           of
           blood
           .
        
         
           To
           this
           I
           will
           add
           another
           fore-telling
           Dream
           ,
           whereof
           I
           have
           read
           ,
           which
           was
           thus
           :
           two
           young
           Gentlemen
           being
           travelling
           abroad
           in
           strange
           Countreyes
           ,
           and
           being
           come
           to
           a
           great
           towne
           ,
           the
           one
           lay
           far
           in
           the
           Citie
           ,
           the
           other
           in
           an
           Hostry
           without
           the
           walls
           in
           the
           Suburbs
           :
           he
           in
           the
           City
           did
           dream
           in
           the
           dead
           of
           night
           ,
           that
           his
           friend
           which
           he
           had
           left
           in
           the
           Suburbs
           rush'd
           into
           his
           chamber
           panting
           and
           blowing
           ,
           being
           pursued
           by
           others
           ;
           he
           dreamt
           so
           againe
           ,
           and
           the
           third
           time
           he
           might
           see
           his
           friends
           Ghost
           appeering
           at
           his
           beds
           side
           with
           blood
           trickling
           down
           his
           throat
           ,
           and
           a
           Poyniard
           in
           his
           brest
           ,
           telling
           him
           ;

           farewell
           of
           thee
           ,
           and
           if
           thou
           rise
           betimes
           ,
           thou
           shalt
           meet
           me
           in
           the
           way
           going
           to
           be
           buried
           ;
           the
           next
           morning
           his
           friend
           going
           with
           his
           Host
           towards
           the
           Inn
           in
           the
           Suburbs
           where
           he
           left
           his
           friend
           ,
           they
           met
           with
           a
           Cart
           laden
           with

           ,
           which
           being
           staid
           and
           search'd
           ,
           the
           dead
           body
           was
           found
           naked
           in
           the
           dung
           .
        
         
           I
           will
           conclude
           with
           a
           notable
           Dreame
           that
           
             Osman
          
           the
           great
           Turk
           had
           ,
           not
           many
           yeers
           since
           ,
           a
           few
           dayes
           before
           the
           
           was
           murthered
           by
           his
           Janizaries
           ,
           1623.
           
           He
           dreamt
           ,
           that
           being
           mounted
           upon
           a
           huge
           Camell
           ,
           he
           could
           not
           make
           him
           go
           ,
           though
           he
           switch'd
           and
           spur'd
           him
           never
           so
           much
           ;
           at
           last
           the
           Camell
           overthrew
           him
           ,
           and
           being
           upon
           the
           ground
           ,
           onely
           the
           bridle
           was
           left
           in
           his
           hand
           ,
           but
           the
           body
           of
           the
           Camell
           was
           vanished
           :
           the
           
             Mufti
          
           not
           being
           illuminated
           enough
           to
           interpret
           this
           Dream
           ,
           a
           
             Santon
          
           who
           was
           a
           kind
           of
           Idiot
           ,
           told
           him
           ,
           the
           Camell
           represented
           the
           
             Ottoman
             Empire
             ,
          
           which
           he
           not
           being
           able
           to
           govern
           ,
           he
           should
           be
           o'erthrown
           ,
           which
           two
           dayes
           after
           proved
           tru
           .
        
         
           By
           these
           ,
           and

           not
           altogether
           impertinent
