TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Charles the fift of immortall fame, Empe-
        rour of Rome, expressing euer in all his acti-
        ons and exploites, a certeine maiestie and au-
        thoritie, manifisted his magnanimitie and va-
        liancie in two pillers, which our ancestors cal-
        led Hercules pillers, which are two promonto-
        ries or hilles distant one from an other 700.
        paces, the one being in Mauritania towardes
        Affrike, called Abila, the other in the coast of
        the kingdome of Granalia towardes Spaine,
        called Calpe, betwixt the which runneth a
        gulph of the sea, which men call Gibraltar, or
        the straight of Seuille or Hispalense. Poets
        faine, that in this straight sometime stood a
        great rocke of a maruellous hugenes, stopping
        the course of the sea for running that way,
        which being taken away by the strength and
        industry of Hercules, there was passage made
        to the Ocean sea. And for the remembrance
        of so worthie a benefite, they say two pillers
        were erected of him there, in the two chiefest
        partes of the world, Affricke and Europe. And
        truely as they in olde time had a great care to
        keepe from obliuion their noble gestes, &amp; va-
        liant deedes, recording them in their monu-
        ments, registers, and the like (as they write, A-
        lexander did his marshall exploites) so Hercu-
        les making and end there of his iournies and

        trauels, erected (as may be supposed) two me-
        morable pillers, which whither they were
        made by nature, by art, or by force, it is not
        thorowly knowne. But this is certaine that
        there stood a church there, wherein it is said,
        Hanniball offred sacrifice when he warred a-
        gainst Italy, where it is manifest, were two pil-
        lers of brasse, either of them eight cubits high,
        of an exellent fairenes. This place is called of
        the common fort the doore-threshald of the
        world, beyond which they say, neither anie
        man sailed, till the time of Charles the fifth,
        which being searched out by his nauy, togi-
        ther with the nauy of the Portugals, they found
        the fortunate iles, and sundrie rich nations
        both towardes the East, and West partes, for
        which cause, and to the end he might signifie
        to all posterities the exellency and greatnes
        of his actes, he vsed this pozie or Apothegme
        Plus Oultre, that is further or beyond, con-
        ceiuing great hope to goe forward further.
