So Cambises lighted on Ecbatana in Egypt, and Alexander Epirot,
on Acheros in Italy, to bring them to their end. So Philip of
Macedon, and Atis the sonne of Croesus, found a chariot in a
swords hilt, and an Iron poynted weapon at the hunting of a Bore,
to delude their preuentiue wearinesse. So Amilcar supped in Siracusa,
& the Prince of Wales ware a Crown thorow Cheapside, in another sort
and sense then they imagined, or desired. And so Pope Gerebert,
and our king H. the 4, trauailed no farther, for meeting their
fatal Hierusalem, then the one to a Chappell in Rome, the other to
a chamber in Westminster.
S. Marie Wike standeth in a fruitfull soyle, skirted with a moore,
course for pasture, and combrous for trauellers. Wic, by master
Lambert, signifieth a towne: by master Camden, Stationem, vel Sinum,
ubi exercitus agit. This village was the birth-place of Thomasine
Bonauenture, I know not, whether by descent, or euent, so called:
[120] for-whiles in her girlish age she kept sheepe on the
foreremembred moore, it chanced, that a London merchant passing by,
saw her, heeded her, liked her, begged her of her poore parents,
and carried her to his home.
