The woman thus freed from one peril at sea, aduentured another
of little lesse consequence at land; for being not yet thoroughly
restored to her sense, she clymed vp the cliffe in such a steepe
place, as the very consideration thereof, doth euer sithence halfe
amaze the beholders. But that ground was fore ordained to her good:
for not long after, her husband tooke the same, with the rest of
the tenement, in lease; and it now serueth her for a dwelling,
and many others, by her charitie, for a reliefe.
Her sayd husband, & their two onely sonnes, at seuerall times,
by one kind of misfortune, found their buriall in the waues.
The Oysters dredged in this Lyner, finde a welcomer acceptance,
where the taste, & not appetite, is Cater for the stomack, then
those of the adioyning Tamer, which groweth (as I coniecture) because
Lyners lesser streame leaueth them to bee seasoned, with a more
kindely and better relished saltnes.
The next parish vpon this riuer, is called Sheuiock, somtimes the
ancient Dannyes inheritance & inhabitance: by whose daughter and
heire, the same (together with other faire possessions) descended
to the Earles of Deuon.
