He is no lefs miflaken abckit the Bifhoprick oi Coventry and Lichfield. A Bijhoprick ( (ays he J about the year 656* wat efiabliOied at Lichfield.

Whereupon followed an Agreement under "Bii^oif Alexander de Savensby ( who fucceeded to the See in 1110 ), that the Epi(copal Style fliould be deri* ved from both Coventry and Lichfield, yet with the Precedence to Coventry. Mmf. Mo- rerj is no lefs mtftaken in the ancient Seat of the Bifhops of LmroAt • which was Dtfchefier in Oxforjpiire, fmuMId at the Confluence of theTbame and the Ifis.

There is nothing more odious in Hiltory amongtt us, than the Memory of a Prince, who ffjins iiis Reign with Blood.

The Englilh Mile by Statute Law confijh 0/5180 London Feet^ or 1760 Tards, and eight furlongs. Of thefe Miles the Experiments of Mr. Norwood and Mr. Picarc. do demouflrate 69, and fomewhat more, to be a Degree of the Earths Surface; tho till lately a Degree has been reckoned but 60 Englifti Miles* A Marine League is the twentieth part of a Degree, and moji Nations agree to reckon fo for Diftances at Sea. A French League is the twenty fifth part of a Degree^ being nearly tm Engliih Miles and three auarters. A German Mile is reckoned to be the fifteenth part cf a Degree, or better than four Englifli Miles. A Dutch Mile, fuch as are now ufed in Holland, // by the Experiment of Snellius, nearejl the nineteenth part of a Degree, being about three Engliih Miles and a half. An Italian Mile is mille padus, or a thoufand Paces of five Roman Feet each^ and the Roman Foot being f of an Inch left than the London Foot, or as x^ t» 30, it follows that nearefl 76 Italian Miles are a Degree. And the Turkifli Miles are reputed equal to the Italian. The Danes, Swedes* and Hungarians make long Miles, being about a German Mile and half, or at leaflfve or fix Englifli Miles, The Polifli Miles are nearly equal to the Dutch Miles, and reckoned about lo to a Degree. The Scotch and Irifli Miles are longer than the Engliih, by about half, and are not defined by any certain meafure, that /can learn. The Spanifli League is eflimated at four Italian Miles, and are reckoned 1 7 and a half to a Degree. The Ruflians uje afbort Meafure they call VoiR, which it little more than three quarters of an Englifli Mile. The Arabian Mile^ both Ancient and Modern^ is about an Englifli Mile and a quarter. As to the Meafures of the Ancients, The old Roman Mile was nearly equal to the prefent Italian Mile, defer ibed al- ready, and was divided into eight Stadia, or Furlongs^ .of 615 Roman Feet each. The Greeks meafured by Stadia only^ confifling of 600 Greek Feet, or 100 Orgyix; eight of thefe made the Roman Mile, the Greek Foot being to the Ro. man, as x% to 34, nearly. The Periian League or Parafanga, was much about a Spanifli League, being 30 Stadia^ or three Italian Miles and three quarters. The- Schoenus or Egyptian League woe of two forts, the greater of 60 Stadia, and theUfer ojf i^o, the one of five, the other /even and a halfXiAi^n Miles.
