[Sidenote: Eden.]
The Eden well fraught with samon, descendeth (as I heare) from the
hils in Athelstane moore at the foot of Hussiat Moruell hil, where
Swale also riseth, and southeast of Mallerstang forrest. From thence
in like maner it goeth to Mallerstang towne, Pendragon castell,
Wharton hall, Netbie, Hartleie castell, Kirkebie Stephan, and yer it
come at great Musgrane, it receiueth thrée waters, whereof one is
[Sidenote: Helbecke.]
called Helbecke, bicause it commeth from the Derne and Elinge
mounteins by a towne of the same denomination. The other is named
[Sidenote: Bellow.]
Bellow, and descendeth from the east mounteins by Sowarsbie, & these
two on the northeast: the third falleth from Rauenstandale, by
Newbiggin, Smardale, Soulbie, Blaterne, and so into Eden, that goeth
[Sidenote: Orne.]
from thence by Warcop; and taking in the Orne about Burelles on the
[Sidenote: Moreton.]
one side, and the Morton becke on the other, it hasteth to Applebie,
[Sidenote: Dribecke.]
thence to Cowlbie, where it crosseth the Dribecke, thence to Bolton,
[Sidenote: Trowt becke.]
and Kirbie, and there méeting with the Trowt becke, and beneath the
[Sidenote: Liuenet.]
same with the Liuenet (whereinto falleth an other water from Thurenlie
méeting withall beneath Clebron) it runneth finallie into Eden. After
the confluences also the Eden passeth to Temple, and soone after
meeting with the Milburne and Blincorne waters, in one chanell, it
runneth to Winderwarth and Hornebie, where we will staie till I haue
described the water that meeteth withall néere the aforesaid place
[Sidenote: Vlse.]
called the Vlse.
