other by Glin Corug, Michaell church, Aber Auon, and so into the sea,
yéelding also in time of néed a good harbour for ships to lodge and
ride in. From hence we went along by the Cole pits to the mouth of the
[Sidenote: Neth.]
[Sidenote: Nethuehan.]
Neth. The Neth is a faire water, rising of diuerse heads, whereof the
more easterlie named Nethuehan riseth not farre from the head of the
Kennon, and comming downe by Penedorin to Aberpirgwin it receiueth
[Sidenote: Nethuaur.]
Nethuaur, a little aboue the towne, which rising not farre southeast
of the head of Tauie in Brecknoch shire (as all the rest doo)
[Sidenote: Trangarth.]
[Sidenote: Meltaie.]
[Sidenote: Hepsaie.]
receiueth the Trangarth, the Meltaie and the Hepsaie, all which are
accounted as members of his head in one chanell, about a mile or more
before it ioine with Nethuehan. For as Trangarth riseth east of
Nethuaur, so the Melta riseth by east of Trangarth, and ioineth with
the same aboue Istrad wealthie, and a little beneath the same towne
taketh in the Hepsaie. So that albeit their seuerall risings be half
or a whole mile in sunder, yet haue they (in a maner) like distance
from Aberpirgwin, and their finall confluence in the edge of
Glamorganshire, which they directlie doo crosse. After these
confluences, the maine streame runneth in and out by sundrie miles,
and through the wooddie soiles, till it meet with Cledaugh, which
ioineth with the same beneath the Resonlaie, and goeth withall to
[Sidenote: Dulesse.]
Lanisted, where it taketh in the Dulesse, whose head is aboue Chappell
Krenaunt, in the marches of Brecknoch. Thence it goeth to Cador towne,
or betwéene it and Lannistide, then to Neth towne, whither small
[Sidenote: Cledoch.]
vessels often come: and beneath the same receiuing the Cledoch that
runneth by Kelebebilch (and also Neth abbeie where maister Crumwell
dwelleth) it goeth on by Coitfranke forrest, Nethwood, Briton ferrie,
and so into the sea.
