From Ulm he came unto Watzberg, the chiefest town in Frankland, wherein
the bishop altogether keepeth his court, through the which town passeth
the river Mayne, that runs into the Rhine; thereabouts groweth strong
and pleasant wine, the which Faustus well proved: the castle standeth on
a hill on the north side of the town, at the foot thereof runneth the
river. This town is full of beggarly friars, nuns, priests, and Jesuits;
for there are five sorts of begging friars, besides three cloisters of
nuns; at the foot of the castle stands a church, in the which there is
an altar, where are engraven all the four elements, and all the orders
and degrees in heaven, that any man of understanding whosoever, that
hath a light thereof, may say that it is the artificialist thing that
ever he beheld.

From thence he went to Norenberg, whither as he went by the way his
spirit informed him that the town was named of Claudius Tiberius, the
son of Nero the Tyrant. In the town are two famous cathedral churches,
one called St. Sabelt, the other St. Laurence; in which church stands
all the relics of Carolus Magnus, that is to say, his cloak, his hose,
his doublet, his sword and crown, the sceptre and apple. It hath a very
glorious gilded conduit in the market-place of St. Laurence; in which
conduit is the spear that thrust our Saviour into the side, and a piece
of the holy cross; the wall is called the fair wall of Norenberg, and
five hundred and twenty-eight streets, a hundred and sixty wells, four
great and two small clocks, six great gates, two small doors, eight
stone bridges, twelve small hills, ten fair market-places, thirteen
common hot-houses, ten churches; within the town are twenty wheels of
water-mills, it hath a hundred and thirty-eight tall ships, two mighty
town walls of hewed stone and earth, with very deep trenches: the walls
have a hundred and eighty towers about them, and four fair platforms,
ten apothecaries, ten doctors of the common law, fourteen doctors of
physic.

From Norenberg he went to Auspurg, where at the break of the day he
demanded of his spirit whereupon the town took his name. "This town,"
quoth he, "hath had many names; when it was first built, it was called
Vindelica; secondly, it was called Zizaria, the iron-bridge; lastly, by
the Emperor Octavus Augustus, it was called Augusta, and by the
corruption of language, the Germans had named it Auspurg."

Now, for because that Faustus had be
