HOLY LAND.

Ramsey Island, near St. David's Head, is said to have been inhabited by so

many saints, that no less than twenty thousand are stated in ancient

histories to lie interred there. Near this place are the rocks styled the

Bishop and his Clerks, which, says an ancient author "preache deadly

doctrine to their winter audience, such poor sea-faring men as are forcyd

thether by tempest, onelie in one thing they are to be commended, they

keepe residence better than the rest of the canons of that see (St.

David's) are wont to do."
