[Sidenote: Bromis.]
Néere to Landwibreuie also it crosseth the Bromis by east northeast,
[Sidenote: Matherne.]
and then goeth to Landuair, Cledogh, Kellan, and soone after taking in
the Matherne from by east, that parteth Cardigan partlie from
[Sidenote: Dulas.]
Carmardine shire, and likewise that Dulas aboue Lanbedder (which
riseth aboue Langibbie, and goeth thence to Bettus) on the northwest,
it goeth next of all to Lanbedder towne, then to Laniuair, beneath
[Sidenote: Grauelth.]
which it crosseth the Grauelth, thence to Pencarocke, Lanibether,
Lanlonie, Lanihangle, and Sandissell, and there it vniteth it selfe
[Sidenote: Clethor.]
with the Clethor or Dettor, which commeth downe thither by Lantisilued
chappell, Lanfraine, and finallie Landissell from by north, as I doo
here affirme. After this confluence it procéedeth on to Landuaie,
Alloine, Bangor, Langeler, Landeureog and Newcastell, yer long taking
[Sidenote: Kerie.]
in the Kerie from by north, whose head is not farre from that of
Clethor, and whose course is somewhat inlarged by such rilles as
descend into the same. For west of Kenwith two becks in one chanell
doo fall into it, which be namelesse, and but of a little length.
Beneath Tredwair also it crosseth another from by west, that runneth
along by Bettus, Euan, and finallie méeting with the Teifie, they run
as one by Kennarth (still parting Cardigon shire from Carmardin, as it
hath doone sith it met with the Matherne) and so forth on till they
[Sidenote: Cheach.]
ioine with the Cheach, which rising southeast aboue chappell Euan,
dooth part Carmardine and Brechnocke shire in sunder, till it come
vnto the Teifie. From this confluence, and being still a limit vnto
Cardigon shire, it goeth by Marierdine, and so to Cardigon, taking in
one rill from by north descending by Penneralt, by north of Monardiue
or Marierdine, and two other from by southwest, of which the one
commeth in beneath Kilgaron castell, the other from Lantwood north
west of Oscoid Mortemer, which lieth southeast of Cardigan, and then
going forward betwéene S. Dogmaile, & Langordmere, it is not long yer
it fall into the Irish sea, flat west and by north from his vprise,
and sending vs forth from Penlooke into Cardigon shire, wherevnto it
hath become march euer sithence it came from Kellam, or confluence
with the Matherne.
