Per eminentiam, as a place of great and good marke & scope, and the
auncient dwelling of the Greynuiles famous family, from whence are

in a verie populous kindred. Master Bernard Greinuile, sonne and
heire to Sir Richard, is the present owner, and in a kind magnanimite,

Returning to the Westwards, wee meete with Bude, an open sandie Bay,
in whose mouth riseth a little hill, by euerie sea-floud made
an Iland, and thereon, a decayed Chappell: it spareth roade onely to
such small shipping, as bring their tide with them, and leaueth
them drie, when the ebbe hath carried away the Salt-water.
