[Sidenote: Ribble.]
The Ribble, a riuer verie rich of salmon, and lampreie, dooth in
manner inuiron Preston in Andernesse, and it riseth neere to
Kibbesdale aboue Gisborne, from whence it goeth to Sawleie or Salleie,
[Sidenote: Odder.]
Chathburne, Woodington, Clithero castell, and beneath Mitton méeteth
the Odder at north west, which riseth not farre from the crosse of
Gréet in Yorkeshire, and going thence to Shilburne, Newton, Radholme
parke, and Stonie hirst, it falleth yer long into the Ribble water.
[Sidenote: Calder.]
From hence the Ribble water hath not gone farre, but it méeteth with
the Calder from southeast. This brooke riseth aboue Holme church in
Yorkeshire, which lieth by east of Lancastershire, and going by
Towleie and Burneleie, where it receiueth a trifling rill, thence to
Higham, and yer long crossing one water that commeth from Wicoler by
[Sidenote: Pidle.]
Colne, and another by and by named Pidle brooke, that runneth by New
church in the Pidle, it méeteth with the Calder, which passeth foorth
to Paniam; and thence receiuing a becke on the other side, it runneth
[Sidenote: Henburne.]
on to Altham, and so to Martholme, where the Henburne brooke dooth
ioine withall, that goeth by Akington chappell, Dunkinhalgh, Rishton,
and so into the Calder, as I haue said before. The Calder therefore
being thus inlarged, runneth foorth to Reade, where maister Nowell
dwelleth, to Whallie, and soone after into Ribble, that goeth from
this confluence to Salisburie hall, Ribchester, Osbastin, Samburie,
[Sidenote: Darwent.]
Keuerden, Law, Ribbles bridge, & then taketh in the Darwent, before it
goeth by Pontwarth or Pentwarth into the maine sea. The Darwent
diuideth Lelandshire from Andernesse, and it riseth by east aboue
Darwent chappell; and soone after vniting it selfe with the

[Sidenote: Rodlesworth.]
Blackeburne, and Rodlesworth water, it goeth through Houghton parke,
by Houghton towne, to Walton hall, and so into the Ribble. As for
[Sidenote: Sannocke.]
the Sannocke brooke, it riseth somewhat aboue Longridge chappell,
goeth to Broughton towne, Cotham, Lée hall, and so into Ribble. And
here is all that I haue to saie of this riuer.
