Theſe bee all the birds of this feather, which hauehave come to my eye or knowledge, as reſiding in or reſorting to this City: yet aboue ſeuen times ſo many there are, that ouerſpred our thickets through England, as appeareth by the empty neſts beyond the Seas, from whence they hauehave flowne by ſhoales of late; I meane, the Seminarie Colledges, which hauehave deepely diſgorged by ſeuerall Miſſions of them, and alſo by particular computation of their diuided troops; whenas in one Shire where I hauehave abode ſometime, there are reputed to neſtle almoſt three hundred of this brood.
Though they bee heere ſet downe by one name, they are not vnfurniſhed of diuers other names, which they change at pleaſure.
