Relations, when he reckons up Eighteen Provinces in China, and among the rest the Kingdom of Cochinchina. For tho' that Kingdom, and that of Tum Kim were formerly subject to China, 'twas but for a very few Years, and it is a long time ago since they threw off that subjection. There are several Islands also belonging to China; as the Great and Little Lieu Kieu; Tai Van, which the Portugueses call Formosa, where the Hollanders had a Fortress which was wrested out of their hands by a Chinese Pirate some Years since, and where they lost a great number of Men, and great Guns, and a great quantity of Goods. Hai Nan and Hiam Xan, where stands the City of Amagao, or Macao, upon the Southern Promontory of that Island, and a great number of others, some Inhabited, others quite Desart. The Kingdom of Corea is not an Island adjoining to China, as Cluverius believes, but a great Promontory of the Firm Land, extending it self from the North to the South. Neither is Xam Haì an Island, as Martini writes in his Atlas, and marks it in his Map; but a Fortress so vast and so well fortisi'd by Art and Nature, that it may compare with the best in Europe. It stands upon the firm Land near the Sea, between the Province of Pe Kim and the Country of Leao tum.
