Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"


I wil conclude with the highest iurisdiction, namely, the Parliament,
to which Cornwall, through the grace of his Earles, sendeth an equall,
if not larger number of Burgesses, to any other shire. The boroughs
so priuiledged, more of fauour (as the case now standeth with many
of them) then merit, are these following: Launceston, Downeuet,
Liskerd, Lostwithiel, Truro, Bodmyn, Helston, Saltash, Camelford,
Eastloo, Westloo, Prury, Tregny, Kellington, Bossimy, S. Iues,
S. Germanes, Meddishole, and S. Mawes: and because Quindec. are
ordinarily graunted at Parliaments, together with the Subsidies,
I will heere set downe the ordinary rate of them.
