THe

Cathay
is
counted

holden
for
the
moost
noble
and
rich
realm
of
the
world
This
Realme
marcheth
on
the
cost
of
the
Occean
see
.
So
many
yles
be
there
about
in
the
see
that
men
may
nat
well
knowe
the
nombre
of
them
.
The
people
which
inhabet
this
realme
of
Cathay
be
called
Cathayns
/
&
amonge
theym
be
founde
many
fayre
and
comely
men
and
women
after
theyr
nacion
.
But
all
haue
theyr
eyen
very
smale
/
and
lytell
heer
on
their
berdes
This
people
in
theyr
wrytynge
haue
letters
/
which
in
beauty
and
fayrnesse
of
draught
resemble
and
are
moche
lyke
vnto
latten
letters
/
and
they
speke
a
language
which
is
moche
dyuers
from
other
languages
of
the
world
.
The
beleue
of
this
people
is
moche
dyuers
/
for
some
beleuyth
in
the
sonne
some
in
the
mone
/
some
in

/
some

/
some
in

/
some
in
the
water
/
some
in
the
trees
/
and
some
beleue
in
oxen
bycause
they
labour
the
grounde
/
wher
vpon
this
people
haue
theyr
lyuely
sustenaunce
.
And
some
people
of
this
realme
haue
no
lawe
/
nor
beleue
at
all
/
but
lyue
as
brute
beestes
vnresonable
.
These
same
people
whiche
are
this
symple
in
theyr
beleue
and
in
thynges
spyritual
ar
more
subtyll
than
all
other
people
in
corporall
or
bodely
werkes
and
busynes
.
And
as
the
Cathayns
say
/
these
people
be
they
/
which
seyth
with
bothe
eyen
/
bycause
of
their
subtyll
insyght

in

And
they
say
the
Lattyns
seeth
but
of
one

as
theym
reputynge
lesse
ingenious

But
the
other
nacions
say
that
these
Cathayns
are
but
blynde
/
as
in
reprouynge

By
this
may
we
vnderstand
that
these
Cathayns
repute
other
people
of
grosse
wyt

them selfe

And
they
them selfe
dyde
so

theyr
naturall
lorde

¶
How
Cangius
was
elect
emperour
of
the
Tartas
.
AFter
that
the
Tartas
ordayned
a
seat
in
the
myddes
of
them
all
&
putte
there
vpon
the
grounde
a

made
Cangius

therupon
.
And
the
vii
.
captayns
of
the
.vii.
natyons
reysed
hym
vp
with
the
sayd
carpet
&
set
hym
vpon
the
seate
.
And
named
hym
Can
/
and
with
knelinge
dyde
hym
all
honour
and
reuerence
as
to
theyr
owne
lorde
.
¶
Of
the
solempnyte
that
the
Tartas
dyde
to
theyr
lorde
In
the
tyme
sholde
no
man
maruayle
of
it
/
for
peraduenture
they
coulde
do
no
better
or
they
had
no
fayrer
clothe
to
set
hym
on
/
but
for
that
they
wold
nat
change
theyr
first
vsage
.
It
is
marueyle
seynge
that
they
haue
conquered
so
many
landes
and
realmes
&
yet
they
kepe
theyr
fyrst
maner
/
for
thei
wyll
chuse
their
lorde
and
twyse
haue
I
ben
at
thelectyō
of
the
Tartas
emperour
/
they
assemble
togyther
in
a
great
felde
/
&
he
that
sholde
be
theyr
lorde
they
caused
hym
to
sytte
vpon
a
blacke
carpet
and
put
a
ryche
seate
in
the
myddes
of
them
all
.
And
than
after
cam
the
noble
men
and
the
chefe
of
his
kynred
and
lyft
hym
vp
on
hye
and
set
hym
vpon
the

/
&
after
dyde
hym
all

for
al
the
lordship
or

that

they
wode
neuer
chaunge

fyrst
gyse
.
And
after
that
Cangius
Can
was
made
emperour
by
the
commen
wyll
and
consent
of
all
the
Tartas
.
First
of
all
or
Cang
.
Can
wold
do
any
other
thinge
he
wolde
knowe
if
they
all
wolde
be
obedient
vnto
hym
and
than
he
commaunded
.iii.
commaundementes
.
The
fyrst
commaundement
was
that
they
sholde
all
beleue
&
worshyp
one
god
immortall
by
the
which
he
was
made
emperour
And
forthe
withall
the
Tartas
began
to
beleue
and
worship
god
/
and
reclamed
the
name
of
god
in
all
theyr
warkes
and
dedes
.
The
seconde
commaundement
was
that
they
shold
viewe
and
nombre
all
them
that
were
able
to
bere
harnes
/
and
ordayned
that
vpon
euery
.x.
sholde
be
a
captayn
/
&
ouer
.
C.
a
captayn
and
ouer
.x.
M.
was
a
captayn
/
&
they
called
the
company
of
the
.x.
thousande
Thoman
.
¶
After
that
he
commaunded
to
the
captayns
of
the
.vii.
natyons
and
lynages
of
the
Tartas
that
they
sholde
yelde
vp
all
theyr
armes
&
lordships
.
And
that
they
sholde
hold
and
pay
vnto
hym
as
he
sholde
or
dayn
them
.
The
.iii.
commaundement
that
Cangius
Can
made
was
thought
moche
cruell
to
them
all
/
for
he
commaunded
to
the
foresayd
vii
.
great
captains
that
euery
one
sholde
brynge
his
eldest
sonne
before
hym
/
and
whan
they
had
so
done
.
He
commaunded
them
that
euery
captayn
sholde
stryke
of
his
sonnes
heed
/
the
which
commaundment
they
thought
was
moche
felon
/
&
not
for
because
that
they
shold
fere
the
people
.
But
bycause
that
they
knew
well
that
Cangius
Can
was
made
emperour
by
commaundement
of
the
immortall
god
.
And
so
euery
one
of
the
.vii.
captayns
strake
of
his
sonnes
heed
.
And
than
whan
Cangius
Can
knewe
the
good
wyll
of
his
people
/
and
se
that
they
wolde
obey
hym
vnto
the
dethe
.
Than
he
commaunded
that
they
sholde
be
apperylled
in
knyghtes
armour
with
hym
.
¶
How
Cangius
Can
was
saued
by
a
byrde
.
WHan
Cangius
Can
had
ordayned
well
&
wyselye
his
batayle
he
entred
into
the
landes
of
them
that
had
longe
tyme
kept
the
Tartas
subgettes
and
fought
with
theym
and
ouer
came
them
all
/
and
put
theyr
landes
in
his
subiectyon
.
After
that
Cangius
Can
went
forthe
conquerynge
landes
and
countreis
/
and
all
thingꝭ
went
as
he
wolde
.
Vpon
a
day
it
happened
that
Cangius
Can
rode
with
a
smale
company
/
&
met
with
a
great
nombre
of
his
enemys
/
which
set
sharpley
vpon
hym
.
Cangius
Can
defended
him
valyantly
but
at
the
last
his
hors
was
slayne
vnder
hym
.
And
whan
Cangius
men
se
that
theyr
lorde
was
in
the
prese
incontynent
they
lost
their
corages
and
began
to
fle
away
.
And
theyr
enemys
chased
after
them
/
and
toke
no
hede
to
Cangius
Can
th
emperour
that
was
a
fote
.
Whan
Cangius
Can
se
that
he
hyd
hym
in
a
lytell
busshe
that
was
nere
.
The
enemis
that
had
the
victory
began
to
serche
for
theym
that
were
fled
/
and
as
they
wolde
haue
serched
the
said
busshe
wherin
Cangius
Can
was
hyd
.
A
byrd
that
is
called
a
duke
/
cam
and
sat
vpon
the
sayd
busshe
.
And
whan
they
that
sought
for
Cangius
Can
se
the
byrde
syttynge
vpon
the
sayd
busshe
ther
as
Cangius
Can
was
they
supposed
no
body
to
be
there
And
departed
sayenge
if
any
body
were
ther
the
byrde
wolde
nat
syt
ther
/
and
so
they
went
away
with
out
any
more
serchinge
thinkyng
that
no
body
sholde
be
in
the
sayd
busshe
.
¶
How
and
wherfore
the
Tartas
were
fethers
.
WHan
that
nyght
cam
Cangius
Can
wente
out
of
the
busshe
/
and
dyde
so
moche
that
he
cam
to
his
men
and
counted
to
them
all
his
auenture
.
And
how
the
byrd
lyght
vpon
the
busshe
there
as
he
was
hyd
/
and
for
that
cause
his
enemys
serched
nat
for
hym
.
And
than
the
Tartas
rendred
grace
to
god
/
&
from
thensforthe
they
had
the
sayd
byrde
/
which
was
called
duke
in
great
reuerence
.
For
who
that
myght
haue
a
feder
of
the
sayd
byrde
gladly
wolde
were
it
vpon
his
heed
.
Of
this
history
I
haue
made
mencyon
to
th
ende
that
ye
sholde
knowe
wherof
the
Tartas
were
the
feders
vpon
their
heedes
Cangius
Can
rendred
grace
to
god
that
he
was
so
delyuerd
in
that
maner
.
¶
After
that
he
assembled
his
hoost
togyder
and
fought
with
his
enemys
and
discomfyt
theym
&
put
theym
all
in
his
subiection
.
And
Cangius
Can
conquered
all
the
landes
that
were
from
thens
to
the
mountayn
of
Belgyan
and
helde
them
/
so
moche
that
he
se
an
other
vision
as
it
shal
be
deuysed
here
after
.
¶
Whan
Cangius
Can
had
conquered
the
lordships
of
all
those
countreis
that
were
a
this
syde
the
mountayne
of
Belgyan
vpon
a
nyght
it
happened
that
he
se
in
vysion
the
white
knyght
agayne
the
which
sayd
vnto
hym
Cang
.
Can
the
wyll
of
the
immortall
god
is
that
thou
passe
the
mountayn
of
Belgyan
/
and
thou
shalt
conquere
the
realmes
&
countreis
of
dyuers
nations
/
&
shalt
reygne
&
be
lorde
ouer
them
.
And
to
th
ende
that
thou
shalt
know
that
this
that
I
say
is
the
wyll
of
the
immortall
god
.
Ryse
vp
and
goo
to
the
mount
of
Belgian
with
all
thy
men
/
&
whan
thou
shalt
come
there
where
the
see
is
ioyning
to
the
sayd
mountayn
thou
shalt
discende
with
all
thy
men
/
&
shalt
knele

tymes
agaynst

Orient
/
and
shalt
pray
to
the
immortall
god
/
that
he
wyll
shewe
that
the
way
.
And
he
shall
shewe
that
/
the
way
&
so
thou
mayst
passe
with
al
thy
people
.
Whan
Cangins
Can
was
waked
out
of
his
slepe
/
he
beleued
well
in
the
vision
&
forthwith
commaunded
his
men
that
thei
sholde
get
them
to
horse
for
he
wolde
passe
the
mountayn
of
Belgian
.
Than
they
rode
forthe
tyll
they
came
to
the
see
and
there
they
coulde
nat
passe
ouer
/
bycause
there
was
no
passage
greate
nor
smale
.
And
in
contynent
Cangius
Can
descended
from
his
horse
/
and
commaunded
to
all
his
army
that
they
sholde
lyght

knele
downe

and
that
they

.
And
all
the
nyght
Cangius
Can
&
his
men
abode
i
prayers
.
And
on
the
morowe
Cangius
Can
se
that
the
see
was
gone
from
the
mountayn
.ix.
fote
&
they
had
a
fayre
large
way
.
whan
Cangius
Can
and
his
people
se
that
thing
they
marueyled
moche
of
it
wherfore
they
yelded
grac
to
god
and
passed
all
toward
the
partes
of
the
Orient
as
it
is
rehersed
in
the
Tartas

.
¶
How
Cangius
Can
fell

AFter
the
Cangius
Can
had
passed
the

he
founde
moche

&
also
his

&
were
to
hym
faythfull

Hoctoca
Can
thought
to
conquere
all
the
lande
of
Asie
/
and
before
that
he
departed
from
the
lande
ther
as
he
was

he
wolde
knowe
the
power
of
all
the

Asie
/
&
wold
knowe
which
was
the
moost
pusaunt
.
Purposynge
to
fyght
fyrst

hym
/
for
he
thought
that
he
sholde
lightly
ouercome
the

if
he
might
conquer
the
moost
mighty
.
Than
Hoctoca
Can
send
a
wise

captayn
which
was
named
Gebesabada
/
and
sende

.x.
thousande
fightynge
men
and
commaunded
them
that
they
shold

And
to

they
shold
shortly
retorne
backe

.
As
Hoctoca
Can
commaunded
it
was
acomplysshed
for
the

Tartas
entred

&
there

Or
the

or
before

thei

They

that
they
neded

and
went
so
farre
in

land
that
they
came
to
the
mountayn

Cocas
.
For
this
mountayn
of
Cocas
one
can
nat
passe
the
depe
of
Asie
into

Asie
/
but
by
the
lycence
of
the

of
a

that
the
kynge
Alexander
closed
vpon
a
narowe
see
that
toucheth

This

And
than
they
toke

And
after

of

bycause
that
whan

This

was
in

The

The

at

went

And

Than

¶
Whan

And

¶
A

was
a

This

made
to

and
caused
all

and
put
them
in
so
great
seruag
&
subiectyon
that
they
durst
nat
come
abrode
.
¶
Why
Halcon
send
for
the
kynge
of
Armeny
for
to
come
to
hym
.
WHan
Halcon
had
refresshed
hym
the
space
of
an

and
his

in
the
cite
of
Rohais
.
He
sende
for
the
kyng
of
Armeni
that
he
sholde
come
to
hym
/
for
he
was
disposed
to
go
and
delyuer
the
holy
lande
&
to
restore
it
agayne
into
the
christen
mens
handes
.
The
kyng
of
gode
remembraunce
was
full
glad
of
the
sayd
commaundement
&
gathered
a
gret
hoost
of
valyant
men
a
fote
&
a
horsbacke
.
For
in
the
tyme
the
realme
of
Armeny
was
iprosperyte
so
that
he
made
.xii.
thousande
horsmen
/
and
.xii.
thousand
afote
and
that
haue
I
sene
in

Whan
the

was
come
he
helde
a
parlyment
&
counsell
/
to
Halcon
vpon

Than
sayd
the
kyng
to
Halcon
/
sir
the
sowdan
of
Halap
/
holdeth
the
lordship
of
the
kyng
of
Anyne
&
of
Syrie
.
And
syth
that
ye
entende
to
go
to
the
holy
land
me
thinke
it
for
the
best
to
lay
sege
first
to
the
cyte
of
Halap
/
which
is
the
moost
strongest
cyte
in
the
realm
of
Syrie
.
For
if
we
may
take
the
cyte
of
Halap
all
the
other
may
be
lightly
taken
.
Halcon
was
well
pleased

ALbaga

that

as
his

Halcon
was

and
so
he
was
any
do●…er

And
an
other
thing
was
that
he
made
warr
vpon
his
neyghbours
/
whiche
caused
hym
that
he
coude
nat
ouercome
the
sodan
of

and
bycause
of

the

&
made
couenable
peace

And
ordayned
if
Albaga
wolde

that
they
shold

And
for
this
composicyon
the
sowdan
had
great
●y
to

and
for
that
cause
the

The

And
than
the
sarasyns
entred

The

Whan

Thanne

The

and
confirmed

with
hym
to
th
yntent
that
he
myght

And
the
Sowdan
made
poyntment
with
the
kyng
that
he
shuld
rendre

hym
one
of
his
felowes
which
was
called

And

After

Whan

gathered
all

that

And

In

In

whiche
had

Casan

And

For

Than

The

Casan
taryed
in
a
place
that
is
called
Caner
/
full
gladde
of
the
victory
that
god
had

This

¶
How
the
cytie
of
Hames
was
conquered
.
AFter
that
Casan
commaunded
to
the
kynge
of
Armeni
and
to
one
of
his
barownes
that
was
called
Molay
/
that
with
forty
thousande
Tartas
they
sholde
go
after
the
sowdan
vnto
the
desert
of
Egipt
that
was
well
twelfe
dayes
iourney
from
the
place
there
as
the
batayle
was
/
and
commaunded
that
they
shuld
tary
his
commyng
in
the
countrey
of
Cassore
.
The
kynge
of
Armeny
&
Molay
with
.xl.
M.
tartas
departed
&
went
after
the
sowdan
/
&
as
many
sarasyns
as
they
coude
take
they
kyld
them
.
The
thyrd
day
after
Casan
commaunded
that
the
kynge
of
Armeni
shuld
come
backe
again
for
he
wold
lay
sege
to
the
cyte
of
Hames
&
commaunded
the
Molay
shulde
go
after
the
sowdan
.
But
the
sowdan
ran
away
nyght
&
day
vpon
connynge
horses
/
in
the
company
of
Bednyns
that
were
his
gyde
.
And
in
this
maner
myserably
the
sowdan
entred
into
Babylon
without
any
company
/
the
sarasyns
fledde
away
into
dyuers
wodes
ther
as
they
thought
to
skape
better
.
&
a
great
part
of
the
Sarasins
kept
the
way
towarde
Triple
the
which
were
taken
&
kylde
by
the
christenmen
that
dwelled
at
the
mount
of
Lyban
.
The
kynge
of
Armeny
retorned
to
Casan
and
found
that
the
cyte
of
Hames
was
yelded
to
Casan
/
and
all
the
riches
that
the
sowdan
and
his
men
had
was
brought
be
fore
Casan
.
And
they
marueyled
greatly
all
that
the
sowdan
&
his
men
had
brought
with
them
so
gret
riches
ther
as
they
though
to
feyght
.
Whan
Casan
had
brought
to
gyder
all
the
tresure
&
riches
that
wer
goten
he
departed
all
to
his
men
And
I
fere
Hayton
hath
ben
present
to
all
the
great
besinesse
that
the
tartas
had
to
do
with
the
sarasyns
.
From
Halcons
tyme
hyderto
/
but
I
herd
neuer
speke
that
no
lorde
of
the
tartas
dyde
so
great
a
dede
in
two
dayes
as
Casan
dyde
.
For
the
fyrst
day
of
the
batayle
Casan
with
a
smale
company
of
men
proued
hymselfe
agaynst
the
sowdan
&
a
great
nombre
of
his
men
/
&
of
his
person
dyde
sowell
that
he
was
named
aboue
all
other
in
batayle
/
&
of
his
person
shal
be
spoken
among
the
tartas
euermore
.
The
second
day
the
fredome
of
Casan
was
great
for
all
the
riches
that
he
had
goten
that
was
without
nombre
he
departed
it
to
his
men
in
such
maner
/
that
he
kept
for
hym selfe
but
one
swerd
&
a
purse
of
ledderfull
of
writinges
&
dedes
of
the
lande
of
Egypt
.
And
all
the
remnant
he
gaue
frely
/
&
marueyll
it
was
that
so
lytell
a
body
myght
haue
so
great
vertu
for
among
a
.
M.
men
coud
nat
be
so
sklender
a
man
nor
so
euyl
mad
nor
a
fouler
man
/
he
surmounted
all
other
in
prowesse
&
vertue
.
And
for
bycause
that
Casan
is
of
our
tyme
we
must
speke
of
hym
lenger
than
of
the
other
/
for
this
sowdan
that
was
ouercome
by
Casan
is
yet
lyuenge
.
And
moreouer
all
them
that
tary
the
passage
of
the
holy
lande
may
take
there
many
good
examples
.
¶
How
they
of
Damas
yelded
them selfe
to
Casan
.
AFter
the
Casan
had
rested
certain
dayes
&
ordred
his
besinesses
he
rode
to
the
cyte
of
Damas
.
whan
they
of
Damas
vnderstode
the
commynge
of
Casan
they
wer
afrayed
/
for
if
Casan
sholde
take
them
by
force
/
he
shuld
take
all
without
any
mercy
.
And
than
they
sende
theyr
messangers
to
Casan
with
great
giftes
and
sende
to
him
the
keys
of
the
towne
of
Damas.
Than
it
happened
that
Casan
receyued
the
gyftes
/
&
commaunded
to
the
messangers
that
they
shuld
retorn
to
Damas.
And
that
thei

redy
for

that
they
shuld

/
for
he
wolde
do
no

to
the
cite
of
Damas
/
but
wold
kepe

.
The
messangers
departed
full
gladde
for
the
good
answere
that
Casan
gaue
them
.
And
than
Casan
rod
after
&
lodged
nere
the
riuer

Damas
/
&
commaunded
that
no

shuld

They
of
Damas
send
to
Casan
great
gyftes
&
habondaunce
of
vitayle
for
him
&
his

M.

As

/
there
came
a

&
that

&
they
thought

wherfore
Casan
commaunded

/
and
commaunded

that
thei

And
than
after

ordayned
baylies

gouerners
in

cyte
/
and
made
Cachap
baylie
of
Damasse
Casan
vnderstode
nat

After
all
that
Casan
called

.
Casan

&
that

whan

He

And
whan

Casan
was

syde
with
his

and
sende

the
kyng
of
Armeni
.
Casans
hoost
was
so
grete
that
it
lasted
.iii.
dayes
iourney
of

.
From
the
castell
that
is
called
Racale

/
these
two

wer
longing

for
the
seson
&
wether
forto
delyuer
the
holy

out

herd
tidynges
that
Baydo

and
how

hadde
done
moche
harme
there
/
and
dryuen
his

away
that

vpon
that

And
in
the
next

he
might
well

Casan
was
sore
displeased
that
the
mater
of
the
holy

taryed
so
long
.
Than
he
commaunded
to
Catholosa
that
he
shulde

and
that

And
commaunded
to
the
king
of
Armeny
that
he
shulde
go

with
Catholosa
with
.xl.

that
they
shulde

and
as
they
shuld
go

They
had
thought
to
haue
found

had
done
in

past
/
but
they
found

herd
say
that

And
that
he
wold

Wherfore
Catholosa

Thei

And

But

The
lordshippe
of
Capar
was
all
vnder
one
lorde
how
be
it
that
his
brother
Totay
helde
a
great
part
of
his
lande
.
¶
Totay
the
kynge
of
the
tartas
helde
the
kyng
of
Cumanys
lordship
and
his
sege
in
a
cytie
that
is
called
Sarra
.
This
prynce
may

C.

/
but
they
be
nat
so
valyant
in
batayle
and
in
dede
of

as
Capars
men
be
.
How
be
it
that
they
haue
better
harnes

&
better
horses
.
Somtyme
they
make

agaynst
Carbanda
/
somtyme
they

But

Totay
kepeth

How
they
of

haue
know

by

whan
any

.
CArbanda
held
his
power
in
the
great
Asie
and
kept
his

of

C.

Capar
&
Totay
make
warre
often
tymes
agaynst
Carbanda
/
but
he
defended
his
lande
wisely
.
Carbanda
medled
nat
with
no
warre
agaynst
no
man
but
the
Turke
of
Egypt
/
to
the
which
all
his
auncestours
haue
had
warre
with
the
aboue
sayd
princes
.
Tapar
and
Totay
wold
fayne
putte
Carbanda
out
of
his
lordship
yf
thei
coud
/
but
thei
haue
no
might
How
be
it
that
they
be
more
mighty
of
men
and
of
landes
/
this
is
the
reson
how
Carbanda
defended
his
landes
from
the
myght
of
his
neybours
.
For
Asie
is
deuyded
in
.ii.
partes
/
the
one
parte
is
called
the
depe
Asie
/
the
other
is
called
the
maior
Asie
.
And
in
that
part
Carbanda
dwelled
there
is
no
more
but
thre
wayes
by
the
which
they
may
entre
out
of
Asie
the
ꝓfonde
/
and
Asie
the
great
.
The
one
way
is
by
the
which
thei
go
from
the
realme
of
Turquesten
to
the
realm
of
Persy
/
the
other
way
is
by
the
ende
that
goeth
nigh
to
the
cyte
that
Alexander
founded
/
that
is
called
Port
de
ferr
.
The
other
way
is
towarde
the
see
of
Maior
and
passe
by
the
realm
of
Dabcas
by
the
first
way
.
Capars
men
can
nat
entre
in
Carbādas
landes
without
great
danger
and
payne
.
For
cause
that
they
coude
nat
fynde
pasture
for
theyr
horses
tyll
many
dayes
iourneys
ende
/
for
this
countrey
is
dry
and

And
so
or
thei
coud
come
to
they
good
landes
theyr
horses
shulde
dye
for
lacke
of
meate
.
And
with
a
small
company
of
ennemys
they
that
shulde
passe
myght
lese
theyr
lyues
by
the
other
way
/
at
the
ende
Totays

Carbādas
landis
.vi.
monethes
in

but
Albaga
dyde
make
a
dayes
iourney
of
length
lysses
dykes
and
thynges
in
a
place
that
is
called
Cyba
/
&
now
there
be
men
of
warr
forto
kepe
the
passages
.
Totays
men
haue
many
tymes
proued
forto
passe
/
priuily
but
they
coude
nat
.
For
they
must
passe
by
a
playne
that
is
called
Mongan
.
In
this
playne
be
euer
in
wynter
a
maner
of
wylde-foule
that
they
call
Seyserach
/
these
byrdes
be
as
great
as
fesantes
and
with
feyre
feders
.
And
whan
any
men
come
into
this
playn
these
byrdes
fle
away
and
passe
the
Lyces
toward
the
playn
of
Mongan
/
&
by
the
token
of
these
byrdes
commyng
.
The
kepars
of
the
sayd
Lices
knowe
the
commyng
of
theyr
ennemys
/
and
than
they
puruey
for
them
for
the
kepynge
of
the
sayde
passage
.
By
the
other
way
toward
the
maior
see
they
durst
nat
entre
for
they
shuld
be
fayn
to
entre
and
passe
by
the
realme
of
Dabcas
.
Which
is
garnysshed
with
men
&
stronge
landes
/
&
so
they
can
nat
passe
.
And
by
this
maner
Carbanda
&
his
auncetours
haue
defended
theyr
landes
from
the
great
myght
of
theyr
ennemys
&
neyghbours
.
¶
The
maner
and
gyse
that
the
tartar

yEt
shall
we
say
some
thynge
of
the
tartas
maner
&
custome
.
The
tartas
be
moche
dyuers
of

.
It
is
nat
possible
to
reherse
the
dyuersite

the
Tartas
beleue
in

they
saye
that

And
none

reuerence
thei
do
to
god
/
nother
by

nor
none

The
tartas
thynke
no

haue
kylde
a

if
the
byt

the
horse
mouth
/
they
thinke
to

The
tartas
thinke
that
the
deed
of
lechery
is
no

they
haue
dyuerse

by
theyr
guyse

And
the

the
wyfe
that

wyfe
and
make

The
tartas
be
good
men
of

/
to
theyr
lordes
they
be
obedyent
more
than
any
other
nation
.
Ther
lorde
gyueth

but
he
may
take

.
Nor
for
cost
or
ridynge
theyr

is
nat
bounde
to

but
they
be
fayne
to

on
their

hauntyng
that
thei
take

.
whan
the
tartas
ryd

passe
by
a

ther
as
they
thinke
to

they

The

Wherfore
the
captayns
rule
theyr

lightly
without
any

/
the
Tartas
be
subtyll
forto

The

seke
euer

wyll
do
none
other
thynge
to

The

haue
more

The

batayle
is

for
in

ther
shuld
be

that

whan

And

The

And
lykewise
that

the
tartas
can
well
conquer
the

For
they
loued

the

whan

And
whan

the

¶
The
maner
howe
a
kynge
or
a
prince
shlud
order
them
to
warr
.
REason
requireth
that
who
so
euer
wyll
moue
warr
agaynst
his
ennemys
/
ought
to
considre
.iiii.
thinges
.
First
he
ought
to
haue
Iust
&
resonable
cause
or
good
lytell
to
moue
the
warr
/
these
conde
thyng
that
he
ought
to
se
to
his
power
if
he
be
sufficient
for
all
the
cost
&
furnyssh
other
thyngꝭ
belongyng
to
the
warr
/
to
begynne
maynteyn
and
finysshe
.
the
thyrd
is
that
he
ought
wisely
enquer
of
the
condicyon
and
maner
of
his
ennemis
/
the
fourth
is
that
he
ought
to
begyn
warr
in
a
conuenyent
sea
son
and
tyme
.
And
frere
Hayton
that
by
the
commaundement
of
our
lorde
the
apostle
ought
to
speke
of
this
matter
I
may
say
truely
that
the
christenmen
haue
Iust
and
resonable
cause
to
moue
warr
agaynst
the
sarasyns
to
the
valyaunt
kynred
of
Mahomet
.
For
they
haue
occupyed
theyr
owne
herytage
that
is
the
holy
lande
/
the
whiche
almyghti
god
promysed
to
the
cristenmen
.
And
ther
they
fynde
the
sepulture
of
our
lorde
Ihesu
that
is
the
begynnynge
of
the
christen
fayth
.
And
for
the
great
dishonesty
and
great
losse
of
blode
that
the
cristenmen
haue
had
by
the
sarasyns
/
and
euyll
lyuers
in
tyme
passed
&
for
other
dyuers
reasons
that
shulde
be
long
to
reherse
.
The
second
reson
I
say
that
no
man
ought
to
be
in
doute
for
the
holy
church
of
rome
which
is
lady
&
maisters
of
all
the
world
hath
wyll
power
by
the
grace
of
god
/
and
with
the
helpe
of
the
good
kynges
and
princes
of
the
cristen
fayth
.
And
the
seruauntes
of
Christ
to
delyuer
the
sepulture
&
the
holy
lande
from
the
sarasyns
power
/
the
which
lande
they
hold
and
occupy
by
our
synnes
.
Of
the
thyrde
reason
&
the
fourth
I
speke
it
is
to
knowe
the
maner
and
condicion
of
his
ennemys
and
to
chose
tyme
place
and
season
conuenyent
forto
begyn
warre
.
I
must
speke
more
at
length
/
for
a
good
surgyen
that
ought
to
knowe
the
syckenes
of
that
which
he
wyll
gyue
helth
Likewyse
a
kyng
or
a
prince
ought
te
enquer
th
intent
condicyon
and
state
of
his
ennemys
to
th
intent
that
he
may
begyn
his
warre
wisely
/
maynteyn
and
bringe
to
a
good
end
.
To
a
prince
in
dedes
of
war
the
secrete
of
his
ennemys
ought
nat
to
be
hydde
from
him
.
For
the
thynges
that
be
proued
before
hand
can
do
no
grefe
/
and
in
the
maters
vnpurueyed
somtymes
trouble
.
Many
men
coragious
is
dedes
of
armes
and
bataylles
/
whan
they
haue
no
tyme
nor
rome
to
beware
of
the
people
and
dangers
that
be
redy
to
come
in
all
other
maner
of
warkes
.
A
remedy
may
be
found
except
in
batayle
if
it
be
any
faute
in
/
for
soone
after
the
payn
foloweth
aft
the
cost
.
wherfore
to
th intent
that
more
euydent
vnderstandyng
shuld
be
vpon
oursayeng
we
shal
speke
of
the
passage
of
the
holy
land
.
And
also
we
shall
say
some
thingꝭ
of
the
state
&
condicyon
of
the
lande
of
Egipt
the
hoost
of
Babylon
/
&
of
the
ennemys

¶
How
the
sowdan
ordereth
his
barownes
and
his
knyghtes
.
THe
sowdan
that
holdeth
nowe
the
realm
of
Egypt
and
of
Syrie
/
is
named
Melcuaser
&
is
a
Cumany
by
his
natyon
.
The
knyghtes
and
the
hoost
of
Egypt
be
men
of
dyuers
partis
and
of
straunge
landes
/
for
the
men
of
that
countrei
be
nought
bowed
a
fote
nor
an
horsbacke
nother
by
see
nor
land
.
The
sowdan
of
Egiptes
power
of
fotemen
is
nat
great
but
of
horsmen
is
mighty
.
Verily
the
moost
part
of
them
be
Sclauys
that
haue
ben
bought
&
solde

the
which
the
euyl
cristenmen
brought
there
forto
sell
them
for
couetise
of

And
other
be
they
that
were
taken
in
batayle
/
which
be
constrayned
to
forsake
the
lawe
of
Christ
.
But
the
Sclauys
that
be
solde
be
more
praysed
and
more
honoured
and
dyuerse
tymes
it
happened
that
many
wolde
be
sold
bycause
that
they
shall
be
the
better
beloued
of
theyr
lord
and
maister
.
The
sowdan
of
Egypt
is
euer
in
great
dout
and
suspection
of
his

/
for
thei
be
of
such
condicyon
that
they
euer
take
the
lordshyppe
of
their

And
by
reason
of
that
many

ben
slayne
.
The

of
Egypt
may
be
about
.xx.
thousand
knyghtes

and
some
of
them
be
good
warryours
&
vsed
to
do
verily
the
grettest
parte
is
but
of
small
price
.
whan
the
sowdan
goeth
with
his
hoost
he
taketh
with
hym
/
a
great
quantyte
of
stoffe

They

The

And
bycause
that

Wherfore
it

The

whan

But

In

the

In

the

The

They

Wherefore
yf
the

they

The
cytie
of

vpon
the

which
was
well

And

they
made
no

And
the

The

How

NOw

Also
by

warre
by
the
whiche
they
were
ouercome

Also
for

that

¶
How

And
so

And
so
