			<blockquote>SECT. II. The Arch-bishoprick and Electorate of TRIER.

			The Electorate of Trier lies between that of Cologne and the Dutchy of Juliers on the North, Lorraine and the Palatinate on the South, Luxemburg on the West, and Weteraw on the East. It is a fruitful and pleasant Country seated on both sides the River Moselle and Rhine. Its extent from South to North-east is about 70 miles, and from West to East about 60. It was made a Metropolitan See under Agilulphus, in the year 743. and the Archbishop was made an Elector in 1021. He hath also the Title of Arch-Chancellor of the Empire in France, is Temporal as well as Spiritual Lord of this Country, and hath Precedency of the Elector of Cologne. The Grandeur of this Prince was much greater when the Empire was in the House of France, than it is at present: In this Age the French have Invaded it often, and taken many of the Towns, which they held till the Peace of Munster. And both in the last War of 1675. and in this present one, they have over-run and harras'd it exceedingly. The Revenue of the Elector used to be reckon'd near One hundred thousand Pounds Sterling per Annum, but hath been much diminish'd by the War. The Chapter is compos'd of 16 Capitulary Canons who are all of Noble Extraction, and choose the Bishops always out of themselves.

			The Chief Towns of this Electorate are,
			*[[Trier]], Cap.
			*...Coblentz.
			*...Hermanstein.
			*...Meyne.
			*...Overweissel.
			*...Boppart.
			*...Engers.
			*...Sarburg.
			*Bern-Castle, &c.
