Smith, John, 1580-1631; Voyages and travels
In _Transilvania,_ he found so many good Friends, that but to see, and
rejoyce himself (after all those Encounters) in his Native Country, he
would ever hardly have left them, though the mirrour of vertue their
Prince was absent. Being thus glutted with content, and near drowned with
Joy, he parted high _Hungaria_ by _Fileck, Tocka, Cassovia,_ and
_Underorowoay,_ by _Ulmicht_ in _Moravia,_ to _Prague_ in _Bohemia;_ at
last he found the most gracious Prince _Sigismundus,_ with his Colonel at
_Lipswick_ in _Misenland,_ who gave him his Pass, intimating the service
he had done, and the Honours he had received, with fifteen hundred Ducats
of Gold to repair his Losses: With this he spent some time to visit the
fair Cities and Countries of _Dresden_ in _Saxony, Magdeburgh_ and
_Brunswick; Cassel_ in _Hessen; Wittenberg, Vilum,_ and _Minekin_ in
_Bavaria; Augsburg,_ and her Universities; _Hama, Frankford, Mentz,_ the
_Palatinate; Worms, Spires,_ and _Straburg;_ passing _Nancie_ in _Lorain,_
and _France_ by _Paris_ to _Orleans,_ he went down the River of _Loyer,_
to _Angiers,_ and imbarked himself at _Nantz_ in _Britain,_ for _Bilbao_
in _Biskay_ to see _Burgos-Valladolid,_ the admired Monastery of the
_Escurial, Madrid, Toledo, Corduba, Cuedyrial, Sivil, Cheries, Cales,_ and
St. _Lucas_ in _Spain._
