This City was called thus before the Reign of Charles the Great , upon the ac- count of the Paflage' the Frankj had here over the Mayn^ though it was a City long before under ano- ther Name. But then the Suburb of it was called ^aiceii=l)au(en, the Dwelling of the Saxons. The Bridge is a fplendid and a noble Work, and is fupported by many Arches. This City was alfo the Seat of the Eaftern Franks or Au- ftrafia. In the Suburbs or 54x^n- haufen^ is St.B4rfAtf/fliwett>'s Church, built by Pepin King of France ; this Ci^ obtained the removal of the Mart from Menti ( where it was at firft} hither from Frede- rick^ the Second.

This Gallia Cifalpna was the Northern part of Italy, and ex- tended from Arjta, now V Arfa, a River of Ifiria, to the A!pes, which Luuiiicd the Provincia /^ R 1 mana, v^^ G A mana^ in the G^lia JranfaiPina 3 and its borders on the North and Weft were the Alpes^ on the South the River I(tibicon^ or as others fay, w€/ii, OT as Pliny afTures us Ati- conOt and oqtheEaft they had the AdriatickJS&i. Thefe jicople were divided into four Potent Nations, vi7(^. I. The Injitbres, which dwelt from the Alfes to the River Ar- nus , now Arm , which pafleth through Florence. 2. The Ceno- mani^ which lay next the Infubres to theEaft, ana poffeffedthe great- eft part of Trevigiana. 3.

Th>* Boii were Conquered by Flami- niusy about the year of l^e 529. and being impatient of fervitufic, paffed over the Ahes into Ger- mmy, and poflclfcci themfclves of Bavaria. Upon which die Infu- bresy and Cenomani, yielded in 431. and became fubjed to the {(omans. The Provincia H^manay was Conquered in part by Fulvius Flaccus, in the year 617. and the remainder in 631. by Cn. Domiti~ vs Ahenobarbus , and tlie three G A bther Provinces were Conquered by Julius Cafary between the year 694. and 697. fifty three years bc- fcMre the Birth of our Saviour. But this is not all, a part of thefe Galls under BrennuSy about the year 474. made their way through Greeccy and fettled in Gallo-Gra. cia, or Galatiay in the Lefler Afia^ but it is much more probable this Expedition was immediately after the taking of H$inf. But now to give an exaiSt account of all the feveral Feopfe contained under this Name, their Laws, Rites, Cu- ftoms. Governments, and Bounds, would too much exceed the li- mits fet me in this work.

To omit fo mufh of the Story of this Country, as may be learned from the holy Scri- ptures; this Country was firft brought under the I^man Vafla- lage by Pmipey^ the Great, Ann$ Mun4i 3837. iixty one years be- fore the Birth of Chrift. They were again Conquered, and that not without great difficulty by Ve- Jfajian and Titus^ in the Year of Cbrilt 66. In all following times it followed the fate of the Holy Land, or Paleftine. The Country isexceeding fruitful, and in the an- cient times was extreamly populous, and full of great and noble Cities, the Inhabitants were Men of Cou- rage, neither fearing Death nor Po/erty, nor anything but Slavery, and of that they were infinitely im- patient. But Wars and the ill Go- vernment of the Mahometan Prin- ces, which hc^e infulted over thefe wretched Gountiys ever lince the Year 637. have made it how defo- late.

About three hundred and fifty years fince„ it was burnt twice in (even years. It has had the Counts of Geneva, and the Dukes of So- voy at all times the great pre- tenders to the Sovereignty over it^ and has always defended its Privi- leges manfully againft them; and in the year 141 2. v;hen Amadaus^ Duke of Savjy, endeavoured to obtain a Title to this City by an exchange, Joannes k PetraSciffa,. then Bifliop of this City, and the Inhabitants agreed, that if any po-- fon fliould confent to the Aliena- tion of its Liberty, he Ihoiild be treated like a Traitor. Thefe and iiie like Traverfcs of their Neigh- bour Princes forced them in 1535. to enter into a League with the Canton of Beam, which was to laft for ever ; the change of Re- ligion hating then heightned their Neighbours rage againlt them. In 1 584. having fuffered a very (harp Siege, i\nd a miferable Famin, by the help of the Canton of X^rich^ they prevailed fo far as to force the Duke of Sav(&t and their Bifhop to G E to renounce all their pretences: and tbey reaped no lefs slory from their defeating the Nooumal Sci- lado of Charles Emanuel ^ Duke of Savoy^ in 1 6oi.

After this they became in a fliorttime by Navigations, Com- Imerce and Wars, more famous than lever. Being thus grown Wealthy, |in 1 133. Pope Innocent II. made this City an Archbifhops See. They ad deferved this favour of the ?ope, by the great Services they had by their Fleets performed againft |the Saracens in the Holy JVar, vhich began in the Year 1096. for vhich in 11 01. they had obtained ^^ Baldwin the third part of the Sea- Towns that (hould be taken in Pa- hftine. In the Year 1104. when the Weftem Chriftians took Con- lantinofle fi-om the feaftem Em- berors, the Genouejc had a great [land in it ; and had Pera afligned (hem for that Service, a place near ^ortftamimple ; and they were Jien mafters oi Lesbos and Cbio, |nd feveral lilands in thefe Seas, nd Caffa in the BlacliSea, in Crim fartary. But aiming to gain Creet 00 from the Venetians \n 1207. here arofea War between the two [tates, which, joined with tlie Ge- \ouefes inteftine Divifions, at laft [uined the Greatnefs of this State ; Vit before this came to pafs in |2$5. they reduced the Venetians great Itreights, having taken \i)ioma, an Ifland near the City ; wt loft all by demanding more nan could be granted. In 1260. rhe Venetians gained .mother great jfit^ory over them, taking twenty our Gallics. In 1291. theFcwrr;- \ii took from them Pera^ and ["jf-i. But in 1293. the tide of fortune turned, and the Veneti- fi loft all their Fleet to the Gf- G E nouefes,mA another of feventy Ships in 1298. But in 13 14. the Ge- noueje were beaten by the Veneti- ans ; and in 1353. were by the Ve- netians reduced to fuch Itreights, that they were forced to put them- felvcs under the Protedion of the Duke of Milan^ after whicli though they recovered to an Ability of contefting with the Venetians, and beat them in i4or,yet the Tz/r^r and their own Divifions, at laft reduced them to fo low an Ebb, that they were not able to fet out a Fleet. Be- tween the Years 1174. and 1339, they had four dreadful Civil Wars, or Broyls in the City, which contri- buted very much to their ruin. In 1451. Sfortia Duktof Mi/an poCi fefled himfelf of this City. In 1563- this City was cited to An- fwer for the Expulfion or B:ini(h- ment of the Marquefs of Final by Ferdimndol. Emperor of G*r»j4- ny. Selim the Grand Seignior^ Emperor of the Turkj, beat this Republick out of the Ifle of C/jwj, i n the Year 1571. Befides all thefe Mutations, the French pretend that in 5396. this Republick made over by a iormal Grant to Charles VI. of" France, all the Sovereign Lord- fhip of that Republick, and the States depending on it, which was Executed and Confirmed again to Charles Vll. in the Year 1458. and from this laft Date ihsFrench had the Sovereignty of the City till 1528. when Andreui Doria taking, advatitage of thelmprifonment of FraucK I. who was taken by the Forces of C/;4>-/w V. at the B.ittelof Pavia ; reftored his Country to its former Liberty. Since which time, this State has hid a very great depen- S dence V** V .',,■> ■i-ifs:*''- G E dence on the Crown of Sfain^ by reafon of his States in Italy ; ana have at all times preferred the In- terefts of that Kingdom before all others. This fo far exafperated /.e^HrXrV. the now fretich King, that in the Year 1 674. he fent a Fleet, and Bomb'd this City, in which Adtion the Ducal Palace was burnt, and many other of the no- bleft Palacw in the City, and an in- credible mifchief done. And in the end he forced them to fend their Duke and four Senators to his Court to make their humble Submiiiions to him. Not that they parted with their Liberty to him, for they are ttiil a Free State, nor that they had done him any Injury, which they were to acknowledge ; but either becaufe tlieir Anceltors had Revolt- ed above an hundred years agone, or becaufe his moft Chriftian Ma- jefty would have it fo.

In ancij ent times this Country was extreamj v.<.' G E ly overgrown with Woods, and full of uncultivated Marflies : there were then no Cities, no Arts, no Tillage, but the Inhabitants were much like the Northern Americans, Immanes Animii atque Corpori- bus ; of great growth as to their Bodies, and very barbarous as to their Minds. But great Warriers, and the invincible Enemies of the I^an Empire, which never could fubdue them, but on the contrary, they at laft deltroyed that valt Empire in the time appointed. [ Julius Cccfar was the firlt of all the lipmans who ( building a Bridge j over the Sl^ine ) entred this Coun- j try but with no great fuccefs.

The l(hine and the D-j- nuh, were tlie ftanding Bounds of this Empire, beyond which it could [rarely keep any thing long. That which the /(ow^wj could never et- fed:, the Franck/ under Charles the Great brought to pafs, and fubdu- ed Germany. This Prince about the Year 8oi. was made Emperor of France and Germany. It con- I tinued in his Pofterity till the Year 929. when Henry I. a Saxon, was I Elcded by the Germans, and this Family Lilted till the Year looa. 1 when it fell into the Houf e of Ba- haria, in thePerfon of Henry II. In 11 if). Conrade 111. Duke of I Schwabcn Succeeded, and all the Emperors that followed were of that Family, till the Year 1 174. Alter which the Empire for fomc G E time had no Head, and changed Fa- milies at others very frequently, till Albert U. Duke of Aujirta, in the Year 1439. fixed it in the Houfe of Aufiria. And all the Emperors ever lince have been of that Fami- ly, Leopold the prefent Emperor, being the Eleventh irovti Albert II. which have fucceflively fwayed this Scepter j this Prince Succeeded Ferdinand III. in the Year 1657. Under thefe Princes Germany is be- conie one of the molt Civilized, culcivated, Learned, Countries in the World, full of Noble and po- pulous Cities, and molt flourilhing Churches. As no Country had fuffered more than this in the days of Ignorance, fo when Learning had once difcufled thofe Milts in the beginniijg of the XV.

Egfrid King of ^rthumberland, firit entered, and cftroyed this Nation with Fire and Iwv i, having no other provoca- |on to it, than his own ill Nature, pd Ambition. After this the Danes br thirty years together, watted |id deftroyed this Nation. After efe the Germans. And after ban Edgar^ the moft powerful ling of England t Conquered a I ^ great part of Ireland. And when by Maflacr-s, and other Accidents, the Iri^o were freed from all thefe Calamities, there enfued Dome- ftick Broils amongft themfelvcs. So that in the year 1155. Henry IL being called in by the Natives, re- folved on the Conqueft of this Ifl;md, whereupon ^chnrd Strom- bow, JEarl of Vembroke, began the Conquelt of it; and in 1 1 71 Hen.\\. in perfon entered Ireland, and took upon him the Stile of Sovereign Lord of Ireland, and the States of Ireland, and all the petty Kings, fubmitted to him, and paffed over to him all their Rule and Power, which was alfo confirmed fay Pope Hadrian. The Kings of England continued the Title of Lords of Ireland till the Reign of Hen- ry WW. and he took firft upon him the Stile and Title of King of Ireland, in the year 1541. which was confirmed to M^r^ his Daugh- ter, by Pope Paul IV. in 1^55. The IrtJh have ever looked Upon the Conqueft of their Country by the Englt/h as a Wrong, and an Ufurpation, which no Act of theirs, nor Time it felf could make valid. Hence when ever England has been irhbroiled , they "nave ever taken the opportunity of Revolt- ing. In the Reign of Edward I. when that Prince was engaged againft tht^cots, one Dovenala O'- Neal ftiled himfelf Kjng of Ulfter, and in ^ight of Inheritance the undoubted Heir of all Ireland. But when in the Reign of Hen' ry VIII. the pretence of Religion was added, firft the Earl of f^l- dare Rebe^ed in 13 37* and was prefently fuppreiled, taken and Be« Z 4 headej I R headed, with his five Uncles.

In 1565. Sir Henry Sidney , Lord Lieute- nant went againlt him, and in a Fight broke his Forces; fo that fleeing to the ScotSy (whom he had likewife injured] in 1 567. he was Aflailinated in cold bkiod, and I>re(cntly after Attainted in Par- liament, and the Title of O-'Ned aboliflied. The Earl of Definond was the next of this Nation, who in 1 579. called in the Sfaniardsy and began another Rebellion, which ended ill for him, the Spaniards being driven out the next year, and this Earl himfelf taken and ilain in 1583. Yet in the year 1595. Tir- O'e'riy who had done great fervice againil the Earl of Dejmondy and was highly favoured by Queen Wi^dihethy moftingrateiully began a Reb(;llion.

After th» it flourifli- ed very much, efjjeclally under the Aufpitious Reign of Claudius Cajar, who was born herfc, nine years before the Birth of our Savi* our, riiirty three years after the flaughter of Julim Cafar. An hun- dred years after its Founding, in the twelfth year of the Reign of hkro, in the year of Chrift 65. it was miferably ruined by Fire, and Nero contributed very freely to the rebuilding of it, as Tacitus ttHii us in his Annals. In after times no City in the Empire flourilhed more' than this, both as to Learning, and as to Commerce. Severus the Emperor treated it about the yeap 199. with great fcverity, for ad- hering to the Party of Albinus a- gainft him, burning a great part o£ the City. Gratianut the Emperor was txrfidioully Murthered in this City, in the year 384. Majoram^^ General to Leo the Emperor, at the rcqueft of S/WwiMJ 4poUinartis^ repaired and beautified this City very much, about the year 460. But this was no long-lived fplen- dor, the Goths and Almains ibon after prevailing againft the I{ornans in France. In the Reign of Clo- thaire King of France, about the year 532. an end was put to the Kingdom of Burgundy, eredled here by the Gothsy and this City fell into the Hands of the French.
