As fir&s;t, <HI>Thebes</HI> was a great Citie in <HI>Egypt,</HI> it was built by King <HI>Bu&s;iris,</HI> it had 100 gates about the walls, it was 40 miles in compa&s;&s;e, the walles were 30 &s;tads high, and &s;ix &s;tads in breadth; it is written that 200 watchmen watched at euery gate: when it was de&s;troy'd by <HI>Allexander</HI> the Great, there were found the Toombs of 77 Kings, (and good Kings they had bin) for the law was among&s;t them that bad Kings &s;hould have no buriall. Al&s;o there was another <HI>Thebes</HI> in <HI>Boetia</HI> built by <HI>Cadmus,</HI> and a third <HI>Thebes</HI> in <HI>Cillicia,</HI> where it is &s;aid <HI>Andromche</HI> the wife to the worthy <HI>Hector</HI> was borne. <HI>Numantia</HI> was in <HI>Spaine,</HI> and being be&s;ieged by the brave roman <HI>Scipio,</HI> rather than they would yeeld their Citie, they burned it with their wives, children, goods and families. <HI>Carthage</HI> was a good|ly Citie in <HI>Affrica,</HI> it was 40 Engli&s;h miles in circuit, it was held again&s;t the Romans 44 yeares when <HI>Rome</HI> was in her greate&s;t greatne&s;&s;e, it brought forth the valiant Cap|taine <HI>Haniball,</HI> and was at la&s;t de&s;troy'd by <HI>Scipio Affri|canus</HI> 144 yeares before Chri&s;ts birth; the place and coun|try where it &s;tood is now called <HI>Tunis,</HI> which is a harbour
