[Sidenote: Bow.]
The first of all is called the Bow. It riseth (as I learne) in the
hilles betwéene Hissington and Shelue, and from thence commeth downe
[Sidenote: Warren.]
by Lindleie and Hardwijc, where it crosseth the Warren that issueth
out of the ground about Rotlie chappell, and runneth by Adston and
Wentnor. After the confluence also going on by Choulton and Cheinies,
[Sidenote: Queneie and Strabroke.]
it taketh in the Queneie and Strabroke both in one chanell, wherof the
first riseth at Lebotwood, and commeth downe by the Strettons, till it
passe by Fellanton. The second mounteth about Longuill, and goeth by
Rushburie, Newhall, Harton, and Alcaster, from whence it is not long
yer it fall into the Queneie, and so by Stratford into the Oneie,
which hath borne that name since the confluence of the Bow and Warren
at Hardwijc, whereof I spake before. Finallie, the Oneie which some
[Sidenote: Somergill.]
call the Somergill being thus increased, it runneth on to Hawford
chappell, Oneibirie, Broomefield, and so into Temde, and next of all
to Ludlow. The Temde being thus brought to Ludlow, méeteth with the
[Sidenote: Corue.]
Corue, which commeth thorough Coruedale from aboue Brocton by
Morehouses, Shipton, Hungerford, and a little beneath taking in a rill
that commeth by Tugford, and Brencost castell, goeth on to Corsham
castell, and there crossing another from saint Margarets Clée, it
hieth to Stanton Lacie, and so likewise to Ludlow.
From Ludlow in like sort it goeth to Ludford, the Ashfordes, little
[Sidenote: Ladwich.]
Hereford, Burrington, and at Burfford vniteth it selfe with the
Ladwich that commeth beneath Milburne stoke, from betweene Browne,
Cleehill, and Stittertons hill, to Middleton, Henleie, Ladwich, Conam,
and so into Temde, which beneath Temdbirie receiueth another rill on
[Sidenote: Rhe.]
the other side, and the second on the left hand called Rhe, that
commeth from aboue Ricton, Staterton, Hound, Nene, Clebirie, Knighton,
and then into the Temde. From hence the Temde doeth goe by Astham,
Lingridge, Shelleie Welch, Clifton, Whitburne (and crossing a water
that commeth from the Sapies) to Knightwijc and Bradwaies. Hereabout
againe it interteineth a rill that descendeth from about Kidburie on
the right hand, and goeth by Collomatherne, Credeleie, Aufrike, and so
into Temde, and then procéeding forward, the said streame runneth to
[Sidenote: Langherne.]
Braunford, and yer long (taking in the Langherne that riseth about
Martleie, and passeth by Kengewijc) it goeth to Powijc, and so into
the Sauerne before it come at Wickecester.
