[28] Here passing down the river, I would willingly have
given by the way an account of the antient Cornish name of
that eminent place now called Mount Edgcombe, but by reason
that the present, and some other generations, have been so
much inclined to the name it now bears, and the other
generations before them had given it the name of West
Stonehouse, as in relation to that on the eastern side of
the river East Stonehouse, where the mansion of those
gentlemen formerly was, (according to which I have seen an
entry of it, Cum Perco et Passagio, in an antient Ouster le
main) I could not attain to it.

cripple, who for sixteen years together was fain to walk

he saw him both able to walk and get his own maintenance.

[42] Amongst which, as one of the fresh antiquities of
Cornwall, let not the old woman be forgotten, who died about
two years since, who was 164 years old, of good memory, and
healthful at that age, living in the parish of Gwithian, by
the charity mostly of such as came purposely to see her,
speaking to them (in default of English) by an interpreter,
yet partly understanding it. She married a second husband
after she was 80, and buried him after he was 80 years of
age. Her maiden name no one could remember, nor perhaps she
herself. She was usually called after her two husbands’
several names severally and sometimes together, as it is
usual for the meaner sort of people to do. As for her maiden
name, she might say with a wench in Petronius, “Junonem meam
iratam habeam si unquam meminerim me virginem fuisse.”
