William Lambard a Perambulation of Kent London 1576 William Lambard A perambulation of Kent London 1576 <i> <sig {> A Perambulation of Kent: Conteining the description, Hystorie, and Customes of that Shyre. Collected and written (for the most part) in the yeare. 1570. by William Lambard of Lincolnes Inne Gent. and nowe increased by the addition of some things which the Authour him selfe hath obserued since that time. Iuuat immemorata ferentem Ingeniis, oculisque legi, manibusque teneri. <Horace> Imprinted at Lon= don for Ralphe Newberie, dwelling in Fleetestreete a litle aboue the Conduit. Anno 1576. <ii> <blank> <iii> To his Countriemen, the Gen= tlemen of the Countie of Kent. This Booke faire written (in gifte) lately sent vn= to mee, doo I fayre prin= ted (by dedication) now sende and commend vnto you. I knowe not (in respect of the place) vnto whom I may more fitly thus send it then vnto you, that are eyther bred and wel brought vp here, or by the good= nesse of God and your own good proui= sion, are well setled here: and here lawfullye possesse, or are neere vnto sundrie of those things, that this booke specially speaketh of: and thus, as of your selfes, doe you see what they are now, and thus as of this booke, may you knowe why they were, and by whome they were, and what they were long agone. I knowe not (in respect of the per= <iv> sons,) vnto whom I may more fitly thus send it, then vnto you: with whome, I haue ben best and longest acquainted: from whom (by points of singular cour= tesie) I haue been many wayes muche pleasured: Toward whom, for the ge= nerall coniunction and association of your minds, and your selfes in good a= mitie and familiaritie, one toward an other: and all, in good zeale towarde the aduancement of Christian religion: and for the indifferent and discrete course ye keepe in handling and com= pounding such controuersies, as many times fall (and thereby in nourishing peace, a Iewel most precious) betwene your honest and tractable neighbours, (things vnto almightie God, very ac= ceptable: vnto her Maiestie, very grat full: vnto your countrie, very fruitful: vnto your selfes, very commendable:) Towarde whom, I say, for these causes <v> which, as a member of this Countie with others I see ioyfully and generally: and for the first two causes which deriued from you, light vpon me self particular= ly, I haue ben, and am, and must be ve= ry louingelye affected. I know not how I may more fitly and effectually commend it then to say, that it is in substance, an hystorie: treating of the partes (and actions of greatest weight a good time together, done by the most famous persons) of one speci= all Countrie: fet from great antiquitie, which many men are much delighted with: out of sundry bookes with great studie collected, painfully: by this au= thoure in the matter set out, truely: with good words wel placed, eloquent= ly. In commendation of this booke, vpon a fit occasion, the like in a man= Alexander ner, is in Latine lately written by a <Neville 1575:56> Neuil, Gentleman of our Countrie, knowne Norwicus. <vi> to be very honest, and, I thinke, very well learned: and so vnder the au= thoritie of his good iudgement, may I (without blame) the more boldly com= mend it vnto you. What vtilitie foloweth the studie of Hystories, many of them haue well declared that haue published hysto= ries written by theim selfes, or haue set out Hystories written by others. And therefore already sufficiently done, I neede not (vnlearned mee selfe, I can not) therein say muche. And yet thus much I may breefely say, and fit for the thing I haue in hande (me thinketh) I muste needes say, that (the sacred word of Almightie God alwayes excepted) there is nothing ei= ther for our instruction more profita= ble, or to our mindes more delectable, or within the compasse of common vn= derstanding more easie or facile, then <vii> the studie of hystories: nor that studie for none estate more meete, then for the estate of Gentlemen: nor for the Gen= tlemen of Englande, no Hystorie so meete, as the Hystorie of England. For, the dexteritie that men haue ey= ther in prouiding for theimselfes, or in comforting their freendes (two very good things) or in seruing their King and Countrie (of all outward things, the best thing) doth rest cheefly vpon their awne and other folks experience: Sir Tho= which I may assuredly accompt (for, in mas Moore an hystorie, in our tong as wel written Knight, in the hysto= as any thing euer was, or I thinke euer rie of King shalbe, great experience deriued from Richard the a proofe of two such things, as prospe= thirde. ritie and aduersitie be, vpon a fit occa= sion vnder the person of a very wiseman, is rightly accounted) to be the very mo= ther and maistres of wisdome. Now <More 1557:70> that that a number of folkes doth ge= <viii> nerally, is much more then that, that any one of vs can do specially, and so by other folks experience, are we taught largely: and that, that other folkes for their King, their countrie, theimselfes, their friends, like good men do vertu= ously, ought to prouoke vs with good de uotion inwardly to loue theim: and with good words openly much to commende theim, and in their vertuous actions, rightly to folow theim. And that, that other folkes against their King, their countrie, their friends (and so against theim selfes) like foolish men do igno= rantly, or like leude men do wickedly, ought to moue vs first (as our neigh= bours) Christianly to bewaile theim: and then (as by presidents of peril pro= cured through their awne follies and faults) dutifully and wisely to beware by them. And so by these mens experi= ence (which like the burnt childe, that <ix> <sig 2{> then too late the fire dreadthe) with much repentaunce they bye deerely) are we taught and brought out of dan= ger to settle our selues, as it were, in a seate of suretie. Thus you see what ex= perience doth, and thus you see where other folkes experience is to be had: which, for the good estate of England (resting chiefly vpon the good iudge= ment and seruice of the Gentlemen of England) is as I thinke, most proper= ly fet from the Hystorie of England. And this for this purpose, I say bothe vnto you my country men the Gentle= men of this Countie (a portion of the Realme) specially, and to al the Gen= tlemen of the whole Realme beside, generally. There resteth that for this booke (whiche I doe vpon these respectes thus send, and with these reasons thus commende vnto you) we shoulde vnto <x> ∼ the Authour William Lambard, yeelde oure verye hartie and perpe= tuall thankes: as oure Country man in our wordes and deedes louingly vse him: as a man learned, duely e= Mathewe steeme him: (for a late very well lear= Parker ned and reuerend father hath publi= Archebi= shop of quely and rightly so reputed him) as <Parker 1574:viii> Canterbu= a Gentleman religious and very ho= ry in his nest, make righte accompt of him: Preface to the Booke whiche, for my parte, I thinke meete de rebus ge to do, and meane to do: and for your stis Aelfre= di Regis. partes, I desire heartely you should do, and I hope assuredly you will do. And if by you he might (and woulde) be moued at his good leysure, to doe as muche for all the rest of the Counties of this Realme generally, as he hathe done for this Countie specially (toward whiche J knowe, by great paine and good cost, he hath alredy vnder the ti= tle of a Topographical dictionarie ∼ the Authour William Lambard Esquire, yeelde our verye hartie and perpetuall thanks: as our Country man <xi> gathered together greate store of very good matter) himselfe (the Authour of it) were worthy of good reward, and singular commendation for it. You (the motioners) in the reading, shall receiue great pleasure by it: the rest of the Gentlemen of this Realme, that of them selfes see what things in their awne countries are of gretest fame now, and by that boke shal know, what those things and other things were long a= gone, must needes with great delight receiue it: and surely, being as he is vnto mee, a very deere freende, for myne awne parte, I meane also (God willing) vpon some fit occasion, with my request to further it.

This series of monographs has been planned to supply visitors to the great English Cathedrals with accurate and well illus- trated guide books at a popular price. The aim of each writer has been to produce a work compiled with sufficient knowledge and scholarship to be of value to the student of archæology and history, and yet not too technical in language for the use of an ordinary visitor or tourist. To specify all the authorities which have been made use of in each case would be difficult and tedious in this place. But amongst the general sources of information which have been almost invariably found useful are: – firstly, the great county histories, the value of which, especially in questions of genealogy and local records, is generally recognized; secondly, the numerous papers by experts which appear from time to time in the transactions of the antiquarian and archæological societies; thirdly, the important documents made accessible in the series issued by the Master of the Rolls; fourthly, the well- known works of Britton and Willis on the English Cathedrals; and, lastly, the very excellent series of Handbooks to the Cathedrals, originated by the late Mr.

We trust your experience with this and other volumes in the Library fulfills our motto and vision which is our commitment to you: MAKING THE WORDS OF THE WISE AVAILABLE TO ALL — INEXPENSIVELY. AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 D Dabaiba an idol of the inhabitants of Panama. This goddess was of mortal extraction, aid, having led a virtuous life on earth, was deified after death, and called by those idolaters the mother of God. They sacrificed slaves to her, and worshipped her by fasting three or four days together, and by acts of devotion, such as sighs, groans, and ecstasies. Dabbasheth Tristram (Bible Places, page 252) thinks this is "the modern Duweibeh," "between Joknean (Keimfln) and the sea, along the south boundary of Carmel," thus making the line of Zebulun include the crest of Carmel, and doubtless referring to Khurbet ed-Duweibeh, which the Ordnance Map lays down at one and one half miles north-west from Tell-Keimln, and which the Memoirs (1:311) describe as "heaps of stones, well cut and of good size, apparently Byzantine work;" but Trelawney Saunders (Map of the Old Test.) adopts the suggestion of Jebata, as in volume 2, page 638, described in the Memoirs (1:274) as "a small mud hamlet in the plain, said only to contain eighty souls." Dabbs, Richard a Baptist minister, was born in Charlotte County, Virginia.
