Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

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


These few notes I haue culled out of many others. Sir Iohn Arundell,
last mentioned, by his first wife, the coheire of Beuill, had issue
Roger, who died in his fathers life time; and Katherine, married to
Prideaux: Roger by his wife Trendenham left behind him a sonne,
called Iohn. Sir Iohns second wife, was daughter to Erisy, and
widdow to Gourlyn, who bare him Iohn, his succeeder in Trerice,
and much other faire reuenewes, whose due commendation, because
another might better deliuer then my selfe, who touch him as neerely,
as Tacitus did Agricola) I will therefore bound the same within
his desert, and onely say this, which all, who knew him,
shall testifie with me: that, of his enemies, he would take no wrong,
nor on them any reuenge; and being once reconciled, embraced them,
without scruple or remnant of gall. Ouer his kinred, hee held a
warie and charie care, which bountifully was expressed, when occasion
so required, reputing himselfe, not onely principall of the family,
but a generall father to them all.
