			<blockquote>ARCHANGEL, or S. MICHAEL ARCHANGEL, Archangelopolis, aut Fanum S. Archangeli, stands on the East side of the bank of the River Dwina, which divided into branches, forms the Island of Podesemskie, and afterward dischargeth its Waters into the Northern Ocean, or White Sea, at the distance of 6 German Miles from thence. This City is the See of an Arch-Bishop, and very famous for its Traffick, as being the Staple of the whole Continent of Moscovy, by reason of its capacious and safe Harbor. The English first began to establish a Commerce in these parts, in 1553. For Sir Hugh Willoughby, having receiv'd a Commission about that time to discover the North-East Passage to China, Richard Chancellor, Master of one of the Ships, was separated from the Fleet, and accidentally fell into the Bay of St. Nicolas, where he was very well receiv'd, and sent for thence to the Court of the Emperor, Jvan Vasilowich, or John Basilides, who entertain'd him with all imaginable kindness, and gave the English free liberty to Trade in his Dominions, insomuch that in 1555, a Company of Merchants was settled there, under Mr. George Killingworth, and divers Privileges were granted to them, in 1655, which were from time to time renew'd and augmented, or sometimes ebb'd and flow'd according to the Interest or Capricio of the Grand Czar. The Moscovian Trade was heretofore maintain'd, by passing thro' the Sound to Narva, but this Road is now altogether abandon'd, as inconvenient on the account of the great number of Impositions there exacted. In the Port of Archangel sometimes are to be seen 300 or 400 Vessels of a large size, laden with all sorts of Merchandises, that arrive from Sweden, Denmark, Holland & England. It is also reported that the Custom arising from the Importation and Exportation of Goods, amounts every Year to the Sum of 600000 Crowns. Indeed the City is not very large, yet extremely populous by reason of the concourse of People that resort thither to Trade with the English and Hollanders; but it was burnt and almost reduc'd to Ashes, A. D. 1663. The Castle was built in 1506, and the Town became a Mart about 1591; the road for Ships being at St. Nicolas in Rose-Island, at the Staple at Colmogro, which was the ancient name of this place.</blockquote>

			Archangel, Mr. Lane relates that in the year 1553. Sir Hugh Willoughby was sent to discover the N. E. Passage to China; Richard Chancellor, the Master of one of the Ships, was separated from the Fleet, and by chance arrived at Archangel, and Wintered there that year, of which see more below. Sir Hugh Willoughby, with 70 Men, perished that year in Lapland.

			When Chanceller first came into the White Sea, he found a Boat Fishing, which having never before seen a Ship fled from him, and when he came up with them, fell down at his feet, and would have kissed them, and were hardly to be persuaded to sell him any thing without leave of their Prince; but they gave him plenty of Victuals for nothing: The Emperor was very kind, and in 1555. a Company was settled there under Mr. Geo. Killingworth upon good Privileges.

			This place in all the ancient Voyages is called Colmogro, and is placed 100 Verstes from the Bay of St. Nicholas, Lat. 64. 25. by Mr. Jenkinson; The River is called Pinego. In the year 1566. the Emperor of Russia granted to Queen Elizabeth, That no Ship of any other Nation but the English, should Trade to any of his Ports on the North Sea, from Wardhouse to the River Obb. The Ports are reckoned thus: Petzora, Cola, Mezen, Petchnigo, the Island of Shallaway, on the mouth of Dwina, Colmogro, or the River Obb. From Colmogro to Wardhouse is 800 Versts; from Colmogro to Uromo, The farthest place of Trade with the Samoieds are 345 Versts. Burrough an Englishman observed the true Latitude of Michael Archangel to be 64.54. That of Colmogro to be 64. 25. The Meridian Altitude at Archangel 42. 30. at Colmogro 42. 15.

			Archangel is placed on the E. side of the Dwina, and when we were there (in 1663.) was not very great; but yet so populous, that it could scarce hold the Inhabitants and People that resorted thither to Trade with the English and Hollanders, Carlile's Ambassy, p. 79. Soon after this it was burnt and almost all reduced to Ashes, p. 91. The Castle of this place was built about 1506. and this Town became a Mart about 1591. the Road for Ships being at St. Nicholas on Rose Island, and the Mart at Colmogro.</blockquote>
