The Turks of late attempted to cut that Isthmos betwixt Africk and Asia, which hSesostris and Darius, and some Pha¬raohs of ./Egypt had formerly undertaken, but with ill success (as ‘Diodorus Siculus records, and Pliny); for that the Red- sea, being three “cubits higher than jEgypt> would have drowned all the countrey, cccpto des titer [...]
It seems, also, to have been the first instance in which the courts interfered in the prac¬tice of the action, and is therefore remarkable as the foun¬dation of the fictitious system by which it is now conducted.In this state, with the exception of a few practical regu¬lations, not necessary to be here noticed, the action [...]
Before the expiration of the said year, ex¬pressly declare their disapprobation of such intended marriage. And all persons solemnizing, assisting, or being present at, any such prohibited marriage, shall incur the penalties of the statute of prctmunire.

The interval between 1558 and 1835 remains a fine field for historic genius.
