from about Ingelborow hill, passeth by Twiselton, Ingleton, Thorneton,
Burton, Wratton, and néere Thurland castell, toucheth finallie with
the Lune, which brancheth, and soone after vniteth it selfe againe.

hill, aboue Wraie taketh in the Rheburne that riseth north of
Wulfecrag. After this confluence also aboue New parke, it maketh his
gate by Aughton, Laughton, Skirton, Lancaster, Excliffe, Awcliffe,

Kitson was borne, it riseth north of Docker towne, and going by
Barwijc hall, it is not increased before it come at the sea, where it
falleth into the Lune water at Lunesands. Next of all we come to
Bitham beck, which riseth not far from Bitham towne and parke, in the
hilles, where about are great numbers of goates kept and mainteined,
and by all likelihood resorteth in the end to Linsands.
