Hauing thus described the west side of Arun, let vs doo the like with
the other in such sort as we best may. The first riuer that we come
vnto therfore on the east side, and also the second, rise of sundrie
places in S. Leonards forrest, & ioining a little aboue Horsham, they
méet with the third, which commeth from Ifield parke, not verie farre
from Slinfeld. The fourth hath two heads, whereof one riseth in
Witleie parke, the other by west, neere vnto Heselméere chappell, and
meeting by west of Doursfeld, they vnite themselues with the chanell,
growing by the confluence that I spake of beneath Slinfeld, a little
aboue Billingshirst. The last water commeth from the hils aboue
Linchemere, and runneth west and south, and passing betwéene
Billingshirst and Stopham it commeth vnto the chanell last mentioned,
and so into the Arun beneath Stopham, without anie further increase,
at the least that I doo heare of.

Burne hath his issue in a parke néere Aldingburrie (or rather a little
aboue the same toward the north, as I haue since beene informed) and
running by the bottomes toward the south, it falleth betwéene north
[Sidenote: Elin.]
Berflete and Flesham. Erin riseth of sundrie heads, by east of
Erinleie, and directing his course toward the sunne rising, it
peninsulateth Seleseie towne on the southwest and Pagham at northwest.
[Sidenote: Del[=u]s.]
Deel springeth about Benderton, and thence running betwéene middle
Lauant and east Lauant, it goeth by west of west Hampnet, by east of
Chichester, or west of Rumbaldesdowne, and afterward by Fishburne,
where it meeteth with a rill comming north west from Funtingdon (a
little beneath the towne) & then running thus in one streame toward
the sea, it méeteth with another rillet comming by north of Bosham,
and so into Auant gulfe by east of Thorneie Iland.
