[Sidenote: Pedar aliàs Logus.]
For beside the Eden it receiueth the Peder, which Leland calleth Logus
from southeast. This Peder riseth in the hils southwest of
Penruddocke, from whence it goeth to Penruddocke, then to Grastocke
castell, Cateleie, and Kenderside hall, and then taking in a water
from Vnthanke, it goeth to Cathwade, Pettrelwaie, Newbiggin, Carleton,
and so into Eden, northeast of Carleill. But on the north side the
[Sidenote: Bruferth.]
Bruferth brooke dooth swiftlie make his entrance, running by
Leuerdale, Scalbie castell, and Housedon; as I am informed. The third
is named Candan (if not Deua after Leland) which rising about the
Skidlow hils, runneth to Mosedale, Caldbecke, Warnell, Saberham, Rose
castell, Dawston, Brounston, Harrington, and west of Carleill falleth
into Eden, which going from thence by Grimsdale, Kirke Andros,
Beaumont, falleth into the sea beneath the Rowcliffe castell. And thus
much of the Eden, which Leland neuerthelesse describeth after another
sort, whose words I will not let to set downe here in this place, as I
find them in his commentaries.
[Sidenote: Vlse after Leland.]
The Eden, after it hath run a pretie space from his head, méeteth in
time with the Vlse water, which is a great brooke in Westmerland, and
[Sidenote: Loder.]
rising aboue Maredale, a mile west of Loder, it commeth by the late
dissolued house of Shappe priorie, thrée miles from Shappe, and by
Brampton village into Loder or Lodon. Certes this streame within halfe
a mile of the head, becommeth a great lake for two miles course, and
afterward waxing narrow againe, it runneth foorth in a meane and
[Sidenote: Aimote.]
indifferent bottome. The said Eden in like sort receiueth the Aimote
about thrée miles beneath Brougham castell, and into the same Aimote
[Sidenote: Dacor.]
falleth Dacor becke (alreadie touched) which riseth by northwest in
Materdale hils, foure miles aboue Dacor castell, and then going
through Dacor parke, it runneth by east a good mile lower into Eimote,
a little beneath Delamaine, which standeth on the left side of Dacor.
In one of his bookes also he saith, how Carleill standeth betwéene two
[Sidenote: Deua.]
streames, that is to saie the Deua, which commeth thither from by
southwest, and also the Logus that descendeth from the southeast. He
[Sidenote: Vala.]
addeth moreouer how the Deua in times past was named Vala or Bala, and
that of the names of these two, Lugibala for Caerleill hath beene
deriued, &c. And thus much out of Leland. But where he had the cause
of this his coniecture as yet I haue not read. Of this am I certeine,
that I vse the names of most riuers here and else-where described,
accordinglie as they are called in my time, although I omit not to
speake here and there of such as are more ancient, where iust occasion
mooueth me to remember them, for the better vnderstanding of our
histories, as they doo come to hand.
