Of
Golde
and
Siluer
.
GOlde
throughe
heate
and
fier
is
resolued
,
but
not
consumed
nor
wasted
.
For
of
al
kinde
of
metalles
it
leeseth
nothing
of
his
magnitude
and
substaunce
,
but
the
more
often
and
longer
that
it
burneth
with
heate
,
or
is
altered
with
fier
,
the
better
&
more
pure
and
excellent
it
is
made
.
And
therefore
hath
it
alwayes
bene
accompted
the
most
precious
kinde
of
metall
:
the
weight
of
it
neither
is
diminished
,
nor
eaten
awaye
by
sharpe
thinges
,
as
salte
,
vynegar
,
Nitrum
,
and
the
iuyce
of
vnrype
grapes
.
It
is
not
difformed
,
nor
made
worse
by
ruste
,
nor
in
handling
of
it
,
or
handes
doo
gather
anye
filthe
,
or
vnclennes
as
in
other
kindes
of
metalles
,
the
which
thinges
may
easely
proue
golde
farre
to
surmounte
all
other
metalles
.
It
is
more
flexible
and
soft
then
syluer
,
whereby
it
is
lesse
frayle
and
not
so
soone
broken
:
being
beaten
with
a
mallet
,
it
may
be
dryuen
so
thinne
and
so
muche
dilated
,
that
of
euery
denary
of
it
may
be
made
fiftie
,
or
more
thinne
leaues
or
rayes
of
golde
.
It
may
be
framed
and
wrought
as
small
as
threade
,
as
it
appeareth
in
golde
wyar
,
and
golde
twyste
.
And
sometimes
it
is
wouen
and
wrought
with
sylke
,
wolle
,
and
sometimes
without
.
Of
it
many
and
goodly
ornamentes
be
made
,
and
for
many
vses
,
as
rynges
,
bracelettes
,
chaines
,
crownes
,
tablettes
,
Iewelles
,
and
diuerse
kyndes
&
fashions
of
plates
and
suche
lyke
,
yea
(
that
whiche
is
scantly
honest
to
bee
spoken
)
of
golde
some
haue
made
vessels
to
receiue
the
superfluous
burden
of
the
belly
,
the
which
thing
Heliogabalus
the
Emperour
,
Heliogabalus
had
his
chamberpots
of
Golde
.
being
a
monster
and
spectacle
of
all
beastlynes
is
reported
of
diuerse
authors
to
haue
vsed
.
Syluer
will
melt
and
be
resolued
withe
fyre
,
but
if
it
remayneth
anye
long
tyme
therein
,
it
leeseth
some
thinge
of
his
substaunce
.
Sharpe
thinges
also
haue
power
to
waste
and
eate
yt
,
&
therefore
it
is
not
so
preciouse
as
Golde
:
but
yet
it
is
of
an
harder
substance
than
gold
.
Of

IT

wherof
some
do
no

to
the

but
wander
in

where
as

draweth
vp

diuerse
tymes
a

would
thinke

excite

And
this
do
they
especially
in

IN

there

,
it
reuiueth

some
call

This
tree
also

whiche
is

The
auncient
Cosmographers

,
maketh
mencion

lykewise
,
&
therfore
it
is
not

Aeneas
Siluius
writeth
of

We
hard
say
there
was
a
tree
in
Scotland
which
growing
vppon
a

by

side
bringeth
forth
fruit
much
like

we
learned
to
fly
from

that
this

cast
forth
so

it

With

it

There

that
in

And
therfore

that

that

that
then

doth
so

so
that

that

This
kinde
of
reed●
is
ful
of
knots
in
the
stalke
as
our
common
redes
bee
,
but
yet
not
so
emptye
within
as
they
are
,
for
it
is
full
of
spungiouse
matter
like
vnto
a
bulrushe●
it
hath
a
thynne
barke
and
is
full
of
swete
iuyce
,
which
is
pressed
out
in
this
maner
.
They
cut
the
body
&
stocke
of
it
into
many
small
parts
and
then
put
it
in
the
pre

sse
and
the
iuyce
that
is
pressed
there
out
,
they
poure
into
a
very

set
it
vp

The
mountayne
called
Aetna
in
Sicily
.
AEtna
is
a
meruaylous
hill
for
continuall
burning
with
flames
of
fyer
,
because
it
is
full
of
Brimstone
matter
.
It
hath
bene
often
tymes
set
on
fyre
with
terrible
flames
as
Munster
maketh
mencion
:
the
flames
of
it
are
in
the
night
tyme
horrible
to
be
sene
,
because
it
●hineth
not
as
other
fyers
do
.
In
the
day
tyme
it
burneth
obscurely
muche
lyke
to
the
flame
of
brimstone
whereof
the
Hyll
hath
great
store
.
The
aunciente
wryters
haue
vttered
manye
straunge
thinges
of
this
and
especially
Strabo
who
sayth
,
that
he
was
in
the
top
of
the
Hyll
,
and
there
m●rked
all
thinges
diligentlye
.
In
the
very
top
they
affirme
to
be
merueylouse
mutacions
and
chaunges
,
for
some
times
it
casteth
foorth
greate
store
of
fyer
,
and
somtymes
great
flames
&
obscure
smoke
And
it
is
to
be
wondred
at
the
heate
of
the
fyar
,
because
it
cannot
be
tempered
with
any
colde
nor
colde
be
dissolued
throughe
that
heate
.
The
higher
part
of
the
mountayne
is
full
of
ashes
which
in
winter
are
couered
with
snowe
:
the
verye
top
of
the
hyll
is
playne
&
is
in
compasse
about
.xx.
furlonges
.
In
the
night
tyme
fyer
may
playnly
be
seene
in
the
hyll
top
,
and
in
the
day
time
a
certayn
obscure
smoke
ryseth
vp
:
Many
times
continuall
thundring
is
hard
,
beinge
a
terrour
to
the
people
,
and
blacke
and
burnte
ashes
are
dispersed
into
diuerse
places
,
and
the
ayre
is
made
noysome
with
a
most
terrible
smoke
.
The
philosophers
assigne
a
reason
hereof
because
this
Isle
is
in
his
inferiour
parts
full
of
cauerns
and
brimstone
,
of
Allum
,
fyer
and
water
,
and
such
lyke
,
that
are
able
to
feede
and
nourishe
fier
.
And
fier
cannot
be
without
som
vent
or
respiracle
but
it
wil
lift
vp
it selfe
,
and
therfore
many
hote
bathes
be
found
in
Sicily
.
The
ayre
also
entring
into
the
pores
and
cauerns
of
the
earth
,
stirreth
vp
a
flame
which
seeking
for
issue
and
eruption
,
vomiteth
and
casteth
forth
smoke
and
fyer
,
and
in
many
places
sercheth
for
ventinge
holes
and
respiracles
.
Sometymes
in
the
inwarde
partes
of
the
earthe
suche
is
the
violence
of
the
fier
,
that
it
expelle
the
and
casteth
forth
with
flames
,
burnt
stones
&
sand
and
the
heat
which
is
included
doth
merueilously
shake
and
moue
euery

the
priuy
holes
and
cauerns
.

Election

THere
be
that
writeth
the
Gothes
to
haue

,
that
none

●mongest

except
hee
were
grosse

Contrary
wise
the
Sarracens
would
not
chose
any
to
be
their
kinge
except
he
were
of
a
tall
&
leane
body
.
The
Carthaginian
●●lwaies
in
the
election
of
their
king
,
did
attend
onely
his
vertue
&
magnanimitie
and
not
his
nobilitie
nor
properues
of
body
.
Feare
and
care
hindereth

FOr
to
be
voyde
of
feare
and
care
,
it
is
a
great
help
to
mayntain
the
stature
,
it
doth
corroborate
the
strength
,
and
●onfirmeth
the
sinewes
:
for
feare
&
vnquietnes
of
mynde
in
youth
doth
much
eneruate
and
weaken
the
strengthe
of
the
body
,
and
a
sad
and
heauy
spirit
drieth
the
bones
to
much
,
so
that

cannot
take
his
iust
increase

or
writer
is
not
able
to
do
so
much
in
two
yeares
.
This
is
an
Almayne
inuention
,
which
was
at
the
beginning
in
great
admyration
,
and
of
no
lesse
lucre
and
profit
.
The
inuentor
&
first
deuiser
of
this
,
was
one
Iohn
Gutenbergius
,
a
man
of
worshyp
equall
with
a
knight
&
at
Magunce
The
thing
was
first
taken
in
hande
with
more
boldnes
and
confidence
then
hope
,
about
xvi
.
yeares
before
it
began
to
bee
common
in
Italy
.
The
fyrste
beginninge
was
at
Magunce
,
the
Germaines
being
the
authors
,
with
small
and
little
principles
and
foundations
,
but
shortly
by
the
industrye
of
mans
wit
,
it
grewe
to
that
perfection
,
that
now
in
our
tyme
it
hath
.
Trulye
it
had
gone
ill
with
all
good
discipline
in
these
later
days
(
if
it
were
now
to
haue
his
beginning
)
seing
that
all
are
geuen
to
their
bellies
almoste
,
and
to
vnsaciable
coueto●●nes
,
for
nowe
they
will
scantly
take
vp
verye
good
bookes
in
the
high
wayes
,
whiche
in
tymes
paste
they
could
scantly
by
for
great
sommes
of
money
.
And
of
a
truth
before
the
inuencion
of
this
arte
,
when
they
began
to
abiect
&
neglect
good
authors
,
all
good
discipline
might
haue
perished
with
the
authours
therof
,
if
this
art
had
not
bene
found
out
in
conuenient
and
happy
tyme
.
By
this
all
kinde
of
learning
hath
encrease
,
&
the
noble
actes
of
all
nations
are
manifest
to
all
the
worlde
:
In
lyke
manner
the
memory
and
remembraunce
of
auncient
antiquity
is
restored
hereby
,
and
the
deuine
wisdome
of
the
Philosophers
,
and
what
soeuer
hath
lyen
hidden
in
few
written
copies
these
many
ages
in
a
few
places
,
is
now
by
this
set
forth
to
all
immortalitie

The
inuentor
of
great
Gunnes
.
THe
great
Gunnes
came
fyrst
in
vse
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
.354
.
and
the
fyrst
author
and
inuentor
there
of
was
one
Bertholdus
Schwartus
a
Monke
.
Surely
this
man
founde
oute
a
merueylous
woorcke
,
and
that
so
manye
sharpe
wits
could
not
fynde
out
before
in
so
many
hundreth
yeares
:
the
which
diuine
and
necessary
inuention
,
manye
haue
thoughte
and
iudged
it
to
bee
a
deuelishe
and
moste
perniciouse
deuise
:
the
argumentes
on
bothe
sydes
be
these
.
It
is
euident
that
for
couetousnes
,
mallice
,
and
want
of
charitie
,
in
the
end
of
the
world
,
the
euyll
people
cannot
bee
kepte
downe
by
lawes
,
nor
that
a
man
may
safely
trauayle
without
som
daunger
of
iniuriouse
people
:
for
before
the
inuencions
of
gunnes
,
the
seditiouse
tumultes
&
factions
of
wicked
and
mischeuous
men
,
did
spoyle
and
destroy
the
labors
of
good
men
in
manye
places
,
and
no
man
was
able
to
assault
&
batter
the
fortes
and
holdes
of
suche
rebells
and
robbers
where
they
did
enclose
them selues
,
without
the
healpe
of
suche
gunnes
and
greate
ordinaunce
:
therfore
they
do
not
well
that
condemne
the
inuentor
of
these
Gunnes
,
without
the
whiche
neyther
the
good
could
liue
in
safegarde
,
nor
yet
cities
could
be
of
any
force
&
kepe
their
riches
,
nor
marchaunts
could
exer●ise
their
marchandize
and
trafficke
,
who
are
in
deede
the
speciall
partes
of
mightye
and
greate
Citties
.
Wherefore
let
the
enemies
of
bombardes
and
greate
Gunnes
ceasse
to
contemne
the
giftes
of
God
,
except
a
man
will
imagine
the
ga●ing
mouth
of
the
Dogge
,
and
his
teeth
made
for
to
byte
,
and
so
to
be
condemned
,
and
the
hornes
in
a
Bull
,
or
an
Oxe
,
not
to
be
the
good
worke
of
the
creatour
.
But
no
wyse
man
will
condemne
these
parts
of
nature
geuen
in
the
stede
of
weapons
:
let
them
reiecte
the
abuse
as
in
an
Oxe
and
a
mad
Dog
,
it
is
better
to
lack
●oth
hornes
and
teethe
.
For
there
is
no
●inde
of
creature
the
which
euil
men
wil
●ot
abuse
.
Some
detest
this
as
a
plain
●euilishe
deuise
,
and
that
nothing
coulde
●e
more
wickedly
deuised
vnder
heauen
,
because
all
flagitious
and
wicked
●ations
as
the
Turkes
and
Tartarians
,
being
the
common
plagues
&
scourges
of
the
world
,
do
occupie●
theym
for
the
destruction
and
consuming
of
goode
men
:
in
this
case
no

,
no

nor

of

no

,
no

no

For
these

which
shote

flames
of

do
wast

destroy

A
notable
historic
of
a
thinge
done
at
a
towne
in
Germanie
called
Bingi●m
.
NIgh
vnto
the
towne
of
Bingium
,
almoste
in
the
middle
of
the
water
of
Rhene
,
a
certayne
turret
called
the
Tower
of
Myce
,
the
name
whereof
was
attributed
to
it
vpon
this
euent
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
.914
.
When
Otto
the
greate
had
the
Empyre
&
rule
,
there
was
a
certayn
bishop
of
Magunce
named
Hatto
,
who
was
the
Abbot
of
Fulden
before
,
in
whose
tyme
there
was
great
famine
in
that
countrye
:
this
Byshop
when
he
perceiued
the
pore
to
be
oppressed
with
greate
famine
,
did
congregate
and
gather
together
,
a
great
number
of
the
pore
into
one
great
barne
,
No
humane
pol●icy
canne
withstand
Gods
iust
●●dgement
.
and
●et
the
barne
on
fyer
and
so
burnt
theim
:
For
●e
sayde
that
they
did
not
differ
from
Myce
,
which
consume
and
wast
corne
beinge
profitable
for
nothinge
:
But
God
suffered
〈◊〉
so
great
tyranny
vnreuenged
for
hee
commaunded
the
myce
by
great●●ockes
●●
and
with
a
multitude
to
inuade
this
Bishop
without
pitie
,
and
to
afflicte
and
vexe
him
both
daye
and
nighte
and
to
●●●●ue
him
quicke
.
But
this
Bishop
fliynge
into
this
tower
(
that
I
spake
of
before
)
for
refuge
,
thinking
himselfe
to
bee
safe
in
the
middest
of
the
water
of
Rhene
and
free
from
all
gnawing
and
bytinges
of
myce
,
was
much
deceiued
,
for
all
this
profited
him
nothing
,
because
the
Myce
came
without
number
,
through
the
water
of
Rhene
swimming
and
ready
to
execute
the
iuste
iudgemente
of
God
:
The
which
thinge
the
miserable
Bishop
perceiuing
,
at
the
length
yelded
and
gaue
vp
his
lyfe
amongest
the
Myce.
There
bee
some
that
writeth
more
ouer
of
him
,
that
the
Myce
did
gnawe
and
eate
out
and
vtterly
extinguish
his
name
from
the
walles
and
hanginges
.

lyke
and
more
horrible
historye

King
&

Queene
and
their
children
were
consumed

A
monster
borne
nighe
vnto
Wormes
in
Germany
in
the
yeare
.1495
.
A
Woman
was
deliuered
of
two
female
children
,
whole
and
perfecte
in
bodyes
,
but
in
the
top
of
the
forheade
they
were
ioyned
and
grewe
together
vnseperably
so
that
they
must
nedes
beholde
one
the
other
.
I
my selfe
sayth
Munster
did
se
them
at
Magunce
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
.1501
.
and
then
were
they
almost
sixe
yeres
of
age
.
They
were
compelled
by
force
of
this
naturall
coniunction
to
go
both
together
,
to
slepe
and
rise
together
,
and
when
one
went
forward
the
other
went
backewarde
:
their
noses
did
alnost
touch
together
,
their
eies
dyd
not
loke
straight
and
forwarde
but
onely
sideways
,
because
a
litle
aboue
their
eies
their
forheads
cleued
&
did
stick
fast
togethe●
,
they
liued
vntil
they
were
ten
yeres
of
age
,
and
then
when
the
one
of
them
dyed
and
that
was
cut
a
way
from
the
other
lyuing
,
she
that
lyued
dyed
also
within
a
little
after
,
of
a
wounde
that
she
tooke
in
the
heade
,
by
cutting
away
of
her
felow
,
or
rather
by
a
corruption
in
the
brayne
,
which
came
of
the
stinke
of
the
wounde
&
putr●faction
.
The
occasion
of
this
monster
was
thought
to
be
this
.
Two
women
talked
together
wherof
the
one
was
with
child
,
the
third
woman
comming
sodenly
vpon
them
and
vnloked
for
,
thrust
the
heades
of
those
ii
.
whiche
were
talkinge
together
,
so
that
they
dashed
and
touched
ech
other
,
wherof
the
woman
that
had
conceiued
alredy
,
being
made
afrayde
through
strong
imagination
gaue
and
printed
the
signe
of
the
rushing
of
their
heades
in
her
two
children
.
How
scrupulous
the
Iewes
be
to
do
any
thing
on
their
Sabboth
day
.
IT
chaunced
that
at
Magdeburge
in
Germany
about
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1270.
A
certayn
Iew
vpon
the
Saterday
fell
into
a
Iakes
,
out
of
the
whyche
hee
coulde
by
no
meanes
deliuer
himselfe
,
he
cryed
therfore
pitifullye
for
the
helpe
of
his
fellowes
,
at
the
length
some
of
his
companions
came
,
and
they
withe
lamentable
voyces
shewed
that
it
was
their
Sabboth
day
,
&
therefor
not
to
be
lawefull
for
them
to
vse
or
exercise
the
labour
o●
the
handes
.
Wherupon
they
exhorted
him
paciently
to
beare
the
thing
vntill
the
next
day
,
that
it
might
be
lawfull
for
them
to
traueyle
in
the
helping
of
him
out
.
This
matter
at
the
last
came
vnto
the
eeares
of
the
Bishoppe
of
that
place
,
who
was
nothing
fauorable
to
the
Iewes
.
The
Bishop
vnderstanding
that
the

horne
Iewes
for
the
scrupulous
obseruation
of
their
Sabbothe
daye
,
woulde
not

and
heathen
nations
,
made
an
assemble
of
a
greate
multitude
of
the
nobilitie
to
assist
him
in
his
warrs
against
the
Sarracens
,
wherin
he
had
so
good
successe
,
that
triumphantly
he
had
the
victory
ouer

Thus
after
that
he

geuen
the
repulse

Infidels
,
considering
what
a
number
of
the
nobilitie
hee
had

dailye

thought
it
meete

after
the
ende
of

longe

great
warres
,
to
recreat

with
some
honest
and
pleasaunt
exercise
:
Hee
had
compassion
ouer
them
,
because
some
of

inhabitinge

should
be
occupied
with
ciuill
busines

&
not
in
the
exercise
of
noble
and
honorabie
pastimes
,
meete
for
suche
personages
as
they
were
,
and
therfore
he
prescribed
certayne
articles
accordinge
to
the
whiche
they
sho●ld
liue

if
they
did
tran●gres
them

that
then

The

there
,
they
repayre
thither
often
times
&
with

They

great
store
of

in
this

that
they

in

as

How
a

horrible

was
destroyed
in
Polonia
.
IN
Graccouia
a
cittie
of
Polony
,
ther
was
a
meruaylous
horrible
and
huge
Dragon
,
which
consumed
and
deuoured
all
things
,
and
was
the
cause
of
greate
damages
,
for
when
hee
came
oute
of
his

vnder
the
mountayne
,
bee
dy●

all
kinde
of

,
and
men
wandring
vncircumspectly
,
deuouring
them
with
his
horrible

Grac●hus
being
very
sad
and
lamenting
this
matter
,
commaunded
three
seuerall
bodies
to
be
cast
vnto
him
euery

:
for
beinge
contented
with
those
hee
woulde
looke
for
no

.
The
whiche
thinge
although
it
was
greuous
,
yet
he
perswaded
,
that
three
eyther

Sheepe
or
of
some

,
wherein
brimstone

,
shoulde
be
included
,
bidden
,
and
mingled

for
so
that
beast
and
dragon
being
prouoke●
with

,
or
with
a
rapaciouse
fammine
and
hunger
,
deuouring
without

or

the
offered
praye
,
by
little
and
little
was
weakened
and
extinguished
.
The
lyke
example
is
read
,
in
Daniell
the
prophete
.
A
●traunge
historie
of
a
king
deuoured
of
Myce.
THere
was
in
Polony
a
king
named
Pompilius
who
was
wonte
in
all
his
execracions
and
curses
to
say●
I
pray
God
the
Myce
maye
deuoure
me●●rulye
with
euill
lucke
and
for
speaking●
euil
to
●imselfe
●nd
to
his
,
for
the
Myc●
deuoured
his
sonne
,
who
was
also
called
Pompilius
a●ter
his
father
.
This
sonn●
after
the
death
of
his
father
beinge
left●
in
his
childehood
,
his
vncles
administre●
and
gouerned
the
kingdome
,
vntill
he
came
to
mans
yeares
and
was
maried
then
sodenly
as
he
was
in
the
middeste
o●
his
feastes
,
ouercharged
with
wine
,
be●ing
adorned
with
coronets
and
garlands
dawbed
with
his
ointments
,
oppr●ssed
〈◊〉
luxury
and
surfetting
,
a
greate
number
of
myce
comminge
from
the
carcases
of
his
vncles
did
inuade
him
,
the
whiche
he
and
his
wife
the
queene
did
destroy
:
but
they
came
forth
so
fast
,
&
in
suche
a
multitude
,
assaulted
and
set
vpon
this
tirant
in
his
banquets
,
and
his
wife
&
his
children
with
moste
cruell
gnawinges
&
bytinges
,
so
that
a
great
band
of
souldiers
and
harnised
men
could
not
driue
theym
away
,
because
mans
helpe
being
defatygate
and
made
wery
,
yet
the
myce
remained
strong
without
anye
werynes
bothe
daye
and
night
.
There
was
therfore
,
deuised
and
built
burning
and
hot
fornaces
and
ouens
,
and
in
the
middest
of
them
thys
Pompilius
was
placed
with
his
wyfe
&
children
,
but
the
myce
came
thither
also
passing
through
flames
of
fyre
,
not
ceassing
to
gnaw
and
consume
this
paricide
:
at
the
length
was
deuised
another
meanes
,
by
another
element
.
This
Pompilius
a
murderer
of
his
owne
vncles
,
was
conueyed
in
ships
,
with
his
children
and
family
into
the
middest
of
a
depe
water
,
and
yet
the
myce
most
earnestlie
without
ceassing
folowed
him
,
and
did
gnaw
and
byte
both
those
that
were
caryed
awaye
,
and
their
ships
,
insomuch
that
the
water
entringe
in
at
the
holes
gnawen
by
the
Myce
,
did
threaten
&
●ignifye
daunger
of
drowning
,
and
therfore
the
shipmen
fearinge
suffocation
in
the
water
and
drowninge
,
brought
the
ship
to
the
bancke
on
the
land
,
where
a●other
greate
armye
of
myce
meeting
wi●h
the
other
,
did
moore
vehemently
ve●e
him
than
the
first
:
these
thinges
being
openly
seene
and
knowen
,
they
that
afore
was
defenders
of
him
and
his
children
,
perceiuing
this
to
be
Gods
punishment
and
reuenging
fled
away
.
Now
Pompilius
being
withoutal
suche
as
might
comfort
and
helpe
him
,
went
into
an
highe
tower
in
Crusnicza

a

dyd

of

euen
to

almost
,
and
so
remayned
faste
in
that
sweete
poyson
that
all
hope
af
an
ye
deliueraunce
was
cleane
gone
,
when
he
had
continued
two
dayes
and
fed
and
maintayned
his
lyfe
onely
by
●onye
,
consideringe
that
with
himselfe
that
he
was
now
so
restraynt
from
the
libertie
and
healpe
of
his
handes
and
feete
,
that
with
them
he
could
make
no
shifte
to
get
out
,
and
if
he
should
crye
oute
with
open

full
voyce
,
that
this
could
nothing
preuaile
in
such
a
solitude

vast
place
of
wood
and
Trees
,
because
it
was
not
possible
that
the
sound
of
his
voyce
&
crye
,
could
go
far
out
of
that
holow
tree
,
so
that
it
might
come
to
the
eares
of
traueilers
and
passers
by
,
all
these
thinges
,
when
hee
had
deliberated
in
his
mynde
,
now
destitute
of
al
helpe
and
consolacion
,
he
began
vtterly
to
dispayre
:
and
yet
by
a
merueylous
and
incredible
chaunce
,
hee
escaped
,
being
deliuered
and
drawen
out
by
the
benefite
of
a
great
Beare
,
when
that
by
chaunce
this
Beare
verye
desyrous
&
searching
for

,
most
hastely
scaled

&
let

therof
,
with
her
hinder
feete
first

after

,
about

which
beast
,
the
man
claspinge

taking
fast

moued

stirred
the
said
Beare
to
leape
out

violently
to
enforce
hir selfe
out

,
beinge
driuen
so
to

sodeyne

for
the

handling

holding
about
her
,
and
also
throughe
the
great
outcries
and

that
he
made
.
And
thus
the

by
violence
deliuered
herselfe

the

also
,
from
the
hollow

,
and
from
great
feare

The

Licurgus
.
LIcurgus
was
a
notable
philosopher
of
Sparta
in
Greece
,
who
erected
a
ciuill
estate
of
the
●ittie
with
his
noble
institutes
and
lawes
,
whereas
before
times
of
al
the
Grecians
,
the
Lacedemonians
were
worst
nurtered
.
Licurgus
taking
the
matter
boldly
in
hand
,
did
abrogate
al
their
lawes
,
institutes
and
old
ry●es
of
liuyng
,
and
did
erect
a
greate
deale
more
ciuill
ordinaunces
and
more
commendable
.
Firste
there
was
xxviii
segniors
elected
,
which
should
prouide
that
the
po●uler
estate
shuld
not
grow
out
of
frame
altogether
,
and
also
that
they
which
had
the
rule
,
should
not
go
about
any
tyrany
.
He
tooke
away
vtterly
all
vse
of
golde
,
&
siluer
,
and
brought
in
mony
of
Iron
,
and
then
was
all
occa●ion
of
felonye
and
stealing
taken
away
.
The
yron
where
of
hee
made
his
mony
,
being
as
red
as
fyre
,
hee
put
out
in
vineger
,
that
it
might
be
mete
for
nothing
afterward
through
his
softenes
.
He
cast
oute
of
the
cittie
all
artes
as
●●profitable
for
that
purpose
,
&
yet
most
part
of
artificers
,
when
the
vse
of
Golde
was
taken
away
departed
from
thence
of
their
owne
accordes
,
seing
that
yron
monye
was
not
in
vse
amongest
other
nacions
Then
that
he
might
the
better
take
away
all
luxury
and
ryoting
out
of
the
citie
,
he
appointed
common
meetings
at
bankets
and
feastes
,
that
poore
and
riche
indifferently
might
meete
together
at
their
feastes
,
and
feede
all
vpon
the
same
kinde
of
banket
.
Hereby
there
was
inflamed
great
anger
of
those
that
were
welthy
&
mightye
,
and
they
falling
vpon
Licurgus
with
great
force
,
caused
him
to
lose
one
of
hys
eyes
with
the
blow
of
a
staffe
.
Wherefore
a
law
was
made
that
the
Lacedemonians
should
no
more
enter
into
their
feastes
with
a
staffe
.
Euery

Children
dyd
frequent
this
as
a
schole
or
exercyse
of
all
temperancie
and
ciuill
discipline
,
there
they
did
learne
to
accustome

with
ciuill
talkes
,
and
to
vse
honest
pasttymes
,
and
to
iest

be

Their

were

with

so
that
idelnes
and
effeminate
delicatnes
taken
away

they
waxed
the
stronger
to
tolerate
and
suffer
the
payne
of
childbearing
.
Children
after
they
were
seuen
yeares
of
age
,
had
their
exercises
with
their
equalles
,
and
of
necessitie
did
learne

they
neyther
knew

they
toke

rest
in

,
they
might
go
to
the
feastes
of
their
elders
,
&
betters
,
and
there
if
that
they
did
steale
anye
thinge
and
were
taken
with
the
thefte
,
they
were
corrected
with
whips
,
not
because
it
was
vnlawfull
to
steale
,
but
because
they
did
it
not
priuely
ynough
with
craft
and
subtilitie
.
Licurgus
remouing
al
supersticion
,
permitted
the
deade
bodies
to
be
buryed
in
the
Cittie
,
and
also
to
haue
their

about

It
was
not

not

for

Licurgus
would
not

nor
any

Hee
commaunded

because
they
seemed
hard

in

of

hee
fayned
Apollo

At
the
laste
to

he

Hee
commaunded

oute
of
other
mens
grounds
,
that
they
should
dye
for
it
.
The
same
law
of
paracides
.
Wherupon
Demades
was
wonte
to
saye
that
the
lawes
of
Draco
were
written
wythe
bloud
and
not
with
yucke
.
The
lawes
of
Solon
.
SOlon
made
a
lawe
that
those
whiche
were
condemned
of
paracide
,
and
of
affected
tyrannye
,
should
neuer
be
receyued
into
any
office
,
and
not
only
these
●e
excluded
from
all
kinde
of
dignitie
but
such
also
as
wolde
followe
neyther
parte
when
any
tumulte
or
sedition
were
in
the
Cittie
,
thinking
it
to
be
the
part
of
an
yl
Cittizen
when
hee
had
prouided
well
for
his
owne
safetye
,
to
haue
care
or
respecte
of
common
affayres
.
This
also
was
a
straunge
decree
of
his
making
,
that
such
women
as
had
hus●andes
nothing
mee●e
for
vene
re●use
acts
,
should
take
one
whom
they
would
chose
,
of
their
husbands
kins●ol●es
without
d●unge●●●ee
forbad
lamentacion
&
mourning
in
another
mans
funer●ll●
and
that
the
sonne
shoulde
not
geue
any
help
or
refreshing
to
his
father
if
so
be
that
he
caused●
him
not
to
be
brought
〈◊〉
in
some
arte
necessary
for
the
vse
of
life
,
and
that
there
should
be
no
care
betwix●
the
parentes
and
therm
that
were
borne
bastardes
,
and
in
vnlawfull
matrimonys
.
For
he
that
doth
not
kepe
himselfe
chaste
from
the
company
of
harlots
,
doth
plainlye
declare
that
he
hath
no
care
of
the
procreacion
of
children
,
but
of
libidiouse
pleasures
,
and
dooth
depriue
him selfe
of
his
iust
rewarde
.
He
would
haue
a
common
adulterer
taken
in
adulterye
to
be
slayne
scot
free
and
without
any
daunger
.
Who
soeuer
did
violently
misuse
any
maydes
,
or
virgins
,
he
would
haue
them
mul●ted
or
amer●ed
with
ten
grotes
,
the
whyche
was
a
great
somme
of
mony
of
his
coyne
Who
soeuer
had
brought
a
wolfe
by
him
o●ercome
,
should
haue
fiue
grotes
to
be●
gathered
of
the
comminalty
,
&
if
it
wer●
a
she
wolfe
,
he
shuld
haue
but
one
grote
,
It
was
a
custome
amongest
the
Athenians
,
to
persecute
that
beast
which
was
as
wel
hurtefull
to
their
cattell
as
to
their
fieldes
.
He
commaunded
that
the
children
of
those
which
perished
in
wa●re
,
shoulde
be
brought
vp
and
taught
of
the
common
charge
,
wherewith
many
being
incouraged
,
did
stoutly
and
manfully
fight
in
battayle
.
He
would
also
that
whosoeuer
lost
his
eyes
in
battayle
,
should
be
broughte
vp
and
kept
of
common
charges
.
He
made
a
Lawe
also
that
hee
should
not
haue
the
wardeship
of
the
childe
,
to
whome
the
inheritaunce
mighte
come
after
the
deathe
of
the
childe
.
And
that
whosoeuer
thrust
out
another
mans
eye
,
that
he
should
lose
both
his
owne
for
it
.
Another
law
of
his
was
,
that
no
man
should
take
away
that
which
he
layde
not
there
,
and
if
any
did
the
contrary
,
it
should
be
iudged
a
capital
offence
.
If
the
Prince
were
taken
or
found
drunken
,
that
hee
shoulde
dye
for
it
.
Hee
permitted
hony
and
waxe
to
be
caryed
in
to
other
countries
.
Hee
thoughte
no
man
meete
to
be
free
of
a
cittie
,
but
the
crafts
man
which
came
with
his
wholl
familye
to
Athens
or
els
was
banished
from
his
owne
countrye
.
Of
the
warrs
and
maners
of
the
Turkes
.
THe
Turkes
haue
a
meruaylous
celeritie
in
doinge
,
a
constancye
in
daungers
and
obseruation
of
the
empyre
.
They
wil
swym
ouer
very
depe
and
daungerouse
waters
,
they
passe
ouer
straunge
hilles
,
and
being
commaunded
they
go
through
thicke
and
thin
headlong
hauing
no
regard
of
their
liues
,
but
of
the
empyre
.
Moste
apte
and
readye
to
suffer
fasting
and
watching
.
There
is
no
sedition
amongest
them
,
no
tumult
.
They
vse
horrible
sounds
and
not
outcries
in
war
,
in
their
tentes
in
the
night
tyme
,
there
is
such
diligent
silence
,
that
they
had
rather
suffer
their
prisonners
to
escape
,
then
to
moue
any
tumul●e
.
The
Turkes
of
all
kinde
of
people
,
are
said
at
these
dayes
to
vse
most
lawfull
fighting
,
so
that
it
is
no
meruayle
why
their
common
wealth
continueth
so
long
,
and
encreaseth
so
muche
that
their
nacion
is
almost
inuincible
,
except
they
be
destroyed
by
some
plague
or
pestilence
,
or
ciuil
discord
.
The
souldiers
haue
an
honest
kinde
of
apparel
.
In
their
saddles
,
and
bridels
,
there
is
no
curiouse
superfluitie
.
No
man
goeth
armed
but
in
the
tyme
of
warre
.
Their
weapons
are
brought
after
them
in
burdens
,
they
vse
no
banners
nor
standerds
,
but
in
the
tops
of
their
Iauelins
they
haue
certayn
threades
of
diuers
colours
hanging
wherby
one
captayne
is
knowen
from
an
other
.
They
vse
the
drumme
&
the
fluite
to
call
and
moue
them
to
fight
.
They
praye
for
their
souldiers
in
euerye
congregation
&
solempne
meeting
,
but
rather
for
such
as
haue
dyed
for
their
country
,
calling
them
happye
and
blessed
,
that
they
dyed
not
at
home
in
the
lamentacion
of
their
wiues
,
and
children
,
but
abroade
amongest
their
enimies
weapons
,
and
terrible
noyses
.
They
wrighte
and
describe
the
victories
of
their
auncestours
,
they
sing
and
extoll
them
being
written
,
for
they
thinke
their
souldiers
myndes
to
be
muche
encouraged
by
these
meanes
.
They
do
so
abhorre
pictures
and
engraued
images
,
that
vpon
such
causes
they
call
the
christians
idolaters
.
They
haue
no
bells
,
nor
yet
do
suffer
the
christians
abiding
amongest
them
to
haue
bells
,
They
neuer
play
for
mony
or
any
other
thing
,
but
such
as
be
founde
playing
be
greuously
staundred
in
euerye
mans
mou●h
.
No
man
of
what
state
or
degre
soeuer
hee
bee
,
desyrethe
to
sit
on
a
benche
,
but
they
lye
downe
and
sit
on
the
earthe
lyke
children
,
with
a
very
comlye
folding
of
their
garments
vnder
them
.
The
table
wheron
they
feede
for
the
most
part
is
prepared
of
an
oxe
hide
,
or
an
hartes
skinne
,
vndressed
and
rough
with
heare
still
,
hauing
the
roundnes
of
foure
or
fyue
hand
bredthes
.
No
man
entreth
in
to
any
house
,
church
,
or
other
place
wher
in
they
muste
sit
,
vnlesse
his
shoes
be
of
,
because
it
is
accounted
an
vnhoneste
and
vndecent
pointe
for
anye
man
to
sit
withe
his
shoes
on
his
feete
,
and
therefore
they
vse
a
kinde
of
shoes
,
that
may
easly
be
put
on
and
of
.
The
place
wher
they
sit
eyther
at
home
or
in
the
Churches
,
is
strewed
&
couered
either
with
tapestrye
clothes
,
or
broade
clothe
or
rushes
,
and
sometymes
for
the
moysture
and
vncleanes
of
the
place
they
haue
bourdes
and
tables
.
The
garments
bothe
of
men
and
women
are
large
and
longe
ynoughe
open
in
the
former
parte
.
They
haue
greate
care
in
emptying
the
belly
and
making
vryne
,
that
they
tourne
not
their
faces
towardes
the
South
,
which
way
they
are
always
wont
to
loke
prayinge
.
They
take
also
greate
hede
least
any
man
should
see
their
●ilthynes
in
discharging
nature
.
They
abstey●
from
wine
as
their
lawes
doth
commaund
them
because
it
is
a
prouoker
of
al
vncleannesse
&
vyce
,
and
yet
maye
they
lawfullye
eate
grapes
.
Thep
absteyne
also
from
swynes
bloud
and
flesh
,
and
from
al
flesh
that
dyeth
of
the
murrayne
.
All
other
meates
they
do
eate
.
Howe
the
Turkes
do
beleeue
and
how●
they
worship
God.
THe
Turkes
confesse
one
God
whiche
hath
none
lyke
or
equall
to
him
whose
faithfull
Prophete
they
accompte
Mahumet
.
Fyue
tymes
a
daye
they
pray
with
their
faces
tourned
into
the
South
,
and
before
they
do
this
,
they
prouide
that
they
haue
a
most
perfect
cleanes
of
body
,
in
euerye
parte
:
handes
,
armes
,
mouth
,
eares
,
nosethrils
,
eyes
,
heares
,
washing
their
feete
most
decentlye
,
especially
after
carnall
copulation
,
and
natural
euacuation
,
except
they
haue
bene
sick
or
trauayling
abroade
.
If
they
want
water
to
do
this
,
which
is
seldome
seene
,
because
in
euery
cittie
,
they
haue
bathes
continually
flowing
,
then
they
wype
and
rub
them
otherwise
.
Euery
yeare
they
fa●●e
a
whol
moneth
and
a
weke
most
straight
lye
,
in
the
daye
tyme
neyther
eatinge
nor
drinking
any
thing
,
nor
yet
hauinge
anye
coniunction
withe
women
,
but
after
the
Sonne
set
vntill
the
Sonne
rising
the
next
day
,
they
fyll
them selues
with
meate
,
&
drinke
,
and
venereouse
pleasures
,
in
the
ende
of
this
solemne
feast
,
they
celebrate
the
feast
called
the
Pasch
in
remembrance
of
Abrahams
Ramme
whiche
appeared
in
steede
of
his
Sonne
at
the
sacrifice
,
&
of
a
certayne
night
wherein
they
suppose
the
Alcorane
was
geuen
from
heauen
.
Their
priestes
do
not
much
differ
from
the
laytie
,
nor
their
churches
from
common
houses
.
It
is
sufficient
to
knowe
the
booke
which
is
called
Alcorane
,
and
such
thinges
as
appertayne
to
prayer
&
obseruance
of
the
Lawe
.
They
lacke
not
their
readinges
and
studies
of
artes
and
sciences
.
They
haue
no
care
of
churches
nor
soules
departed
.
They
haue
no
sacraments
nor
obseruation
of
reliques
,
holy
vessells
nor
alters
,
but
they
are
attente
and
diligent
in
loking
to
their
children
,
their
wiues
&
familye
,
to
tillage
of
the
ground
,
to
marchandize
,
to
hunting
,
and
like
exercises
,
wherwith
lyfe
is
mainteyned
.
They
bee
free
from
seruitute
and
exactions
,
these
priestes
be
honored
of
euery
body
as
men
that
knowes
the
ceremonies
of
the
lawes
haue
the
gouernment
of
churches
,
&
can
instruct
others
.
They
haue
many
scholes
and
places
of
exercise
,
wherin
such
polyticke
Lawes
are
taughte
,
as
haue
beene
made
by
their
princes
for
the
administracion
of
the
common
wealthe
,
and
defence
of
the
countrye
,
wherin
they
that
pro●ite
some
of
them
are
made
rulers
in
eccle●iasticall
matters
,
and
some
be
seculier
magistrates
,
there
be
also
in
that
sect
many
and
diuers
religious
sorts
,
wherof
some
liuing
in
woods
,
and
solitude
vtterly
refuse
the
company
of
men
,
some
keepinge
hospitalitie
in
citties
,
do
releeue
the
pore
straungers
with
hospitalitie
,
if
they
haue
not
to
refreshe
them selues
with
all
,
for
they
themselues
also
liues
of
begginge
&
almes
,
many
of
them
wandringe
aboute
citties
cary
good
and
alwayes
freshe
water
in
certayne
bottles
,
of
the
which
they
geue
to
euerye
one
demaundinge
for
the
same
,
frely
and
gladly
,
for
the
which
duetifull
good
will
and
worke
of
mercie
,
if
any
thing
be
geuen
they
take
it
,
they
coue●
nothing
,
but
they
make
so
great
a
shewe
and
ostentacion
of
religion
both
in
their
deedes
and
sayings
,
and
also
in
their
maners
and
gesture
,
that
they
rather
seeme
aungels
then
men
,
such
is
the
disceite
in
mens
eyes
.
The
Turkes
ceasse
from
all
labour
on
the
Fryday
,
and
keepe
it
withe
as
much
religion
and
deuocion
,
as
we
do
the
Sonday
.
But
the
Iewes
do
meruaylously
obserue
the
Saturday
.
In
euerye
Cittie
there
is
one
principall
Churche
,
wherin
they
meete
together
after
noone
euery
body
,
&
after
their
prayers
solemplye
done
,
they
haue
a
sermon
.
They
haue
large
and
sumptuouse
temples
,
whyche
are
called
in
their
tongue
Meschit
,
wher
in
they
haue
no
Images
at
all
,
but
it
is
found
written
euery
where
.
There
is
no
God
but
one
and
Mahumet
his
prophet
one
creator
and
the
prophets
equall
.
And
also
There
is
none
so
strong
as
God.
There
be
in
their
churches
a
great
number
of
burning
lampes
with
oyle
.
All
the
churche
is
white
,
the
pauement
is
layde
with
mats
and
other
thinges
,
and
aboue
many
clothes
of
tapestrye
,
and
Arras
be
hanged
.
There
is
a
great
turret
about
the
churche
,
on
the
top
wherof
their
minister
when
seruice
tyme
is
,
standethe
and
puttinge
his
fingers
in
his
Eares
,
withe
an
highe
voyce
in
his
owne
tongue
,
he
repeteth
these
wordes
thrise
.
One
true
God.
when
this
crie
is
harde
,
the
nobles
and
the
meaner
forte
commeth
to
the
temple
,
only
intent
to
deuocion
,
&
the
minister
prayeth
with
them
,
and
that
he
oughte
to
doe
fower
tymes
betwene
daye
and
nighte
by
his
office
,
&
they
which
come
to
the
prayers
,
ought
to
wash
their
handes
and
fete
and
secret
parts
.
They
must
put
of
their
shoes
,
and
leaue
them
before
the
churche
gate
,
and
thus
some
enter
barefote
into
the
churche
,
and
some
withe
very
cleane
and
fayre
shoes
.
The
women
fit
together
in
a
secrete
place
from
the
men
,
so
that
the
men
may
neyther
see
theym
nor
heare
theym
,
albeit
they
come
not
so
often
to
the
church
.
In
their
prayers
they
cruciate
and
afflict
their
bodies
meruey●ously
with
continual
agitation
and
vociferacions
,
so
that
often
times
they
sowne
and
faynt
in
minde
and
strength
.
They
thinke
it
an
horrible
●hinge
and
moste
wicked
,
that
a
christian
man
shuld
be
present
at
their
ceremonies
and
Sacrifices
,
hauinge
this
Opinion
that
their
Temples
are
contuminate
and
defyled
of
vncleane
and
vnwashed
men
,
their
minister
getteth
him
into
the
pulpit
,
and
there
about
two
howers
,
hee
preacheth
,
&
when
his
sermon
is
don
,
ii
,
children
ascend
,
thither
which
singe
their
prayers
sweetlye
,
after
this
the
minister
beginneth
with
all
the
people
to
sing
in
a
low
voyce
,
bendinge
his
bodye
on
euerye
side
,
but
his
words
are
nothing
but
these
There
is
but
one
God.
They
kepe
thursday
also
as
a
festiuall
day
,
albeit
the
Friday
is
most
deuoutly
and
most
religiously
●alowed
of
them
,
because
they
haue
an
opinion
amongeste
theym
that
Mahumet
was
borne
vpon
the
Fryday
.
The
opinion
of
the
Turkes
vppon
the
worlde
to
come
.
THe
Turkes
attribute
so
muche
to
Mahumet
and
his
lawes
that
thei
assuredly
promise
euerlasting
happines
to
such
as
kepe
their
lawes
,
that
is
〈◊〉
say
a
paradise
of
pleasures
,
a
gardeyne
hauing
most
pleasaunt
and
swete
waters
set
in
a
pure
and
temperate
ayre
,
wherein
they
should
haue
whatsoeuer
they
wold
,
as
all
kinde
of
deintye
dishes
for
satietie
,
silke
and
purple
apparell
,
yong
and
beautifull
maydes
,
at
their
owne
wil
and
plesure
,
with
golden
and
siluer
plate
,
&
Angels
seruing
and
ministring
vnto
theym
,
like
Butlers
bringinge
milke
in
golden
plates
,
and
red
wine
abundantly
in
siluer
cups
.
Contrarye
wise
to
those
that
breake
these
lawes
,
they
threaten
the
daunger
of
hell
and
euerlasting
destruction
.
This
also
they
beleue
,
that
how
great
offences
soeuer
a
man
hath
committed
,
if
he
wyll
beleue
onely
in
God
and
Mahumet
when
he
dyeth
,
he
shall
be
●afe
and
happye
.
Some
of
their
religion
haue
this
opinion
that
the
lawe
profiteth
nothinge
,
but
the
grace
of
God
wherby
a
man
muste
be
saued
,
which
without
merit
or
law
is
sufficient
to
get
saluacion
.
There
be
some
as
it
were
●uccessors
of
the
prophets
,
and
fathers
,
ale●ging
and
affirming
the
tradicions
of
the
elders
,
which
teach
that
men
by
merit
may
be
saued
without
the
lawe
and
Gods
grace
,
so
that
they
be
earneste
in
prayers
,
in
watching
and
meditacions
There
be
others
agayn
that
affirme
euery
man
to
be
saued
in
the
law
that
is
geuen
of
God
,
because
those
Lawes
are
equally
good
to
those
that
keepe
them
,
and
one
ought
not
to
be
preferred
before
another
.
So
you
may
se
where
Christ
is
not
how
inconstant
myndes
wauer
in
diuers
●rroes
,
the
which
thing
also
may
appear
amongest
some
christians
,
as
such
as
seke
for
saluation
of
any
other
then
of

Saui●ure

Of
the
Fastinge
and
Meates
of
the
Turkes
.
THe
Turkes
are
wonte
to
faste
one
moneth
and
one
weeke
euery
yere
,
bu●
they
do
not
alwayes
keepe
one
prefixe●
tyme
,
for
if
this
yeare
they
faste
in
●●mmary
,
the
next

they
will
doo
it
i●
Fe●ruarye●
the
third
in
Marche
,
and
so
orderly
of
the
rest
,
and
when
they
doe
fa●●●
,
they
taste
and
eate
nothinge
all
the
whole
day
not
so
much
as
bread
or
water
〈◊〉
when
●●errs
appeare
it
is
lawfull
for
them
to
eate
al
thinges
,
sauinge
thinges
which
are
suffocate
and
swynes
fleshe
.
They
haue
vineyardes
the
fruite
and
commoditie
wherof
they
vse
diuerslye
.
The
Christians
make
wine
,
and
the
Turkes
do
so
prepare
honye
&
raysons
,
that
they
appeare
alwayes
freshe
both
in
tas●e
and
sight
,
they
haue
three
maner
of
drinkes
,
the
first
of
Sugar
or

mixte
with

The
seconde
of
raysons
sod
in

the

castaway
,
and
then
rose
water
is
added
vnto
them
,
and
a
little

The
third
is
made
of

wel
sodden
,
and
representeth
a

both
in

,
this
is
tempered
withe

and
geeuen

When
they
should
eat
any
thing
they
strewe
their
floores
and
groundes
with
matts
and
other

,
then
they

There
be
assembled
at
this
notable
feast
al
their
frendes
,
and
commonly
amongst
the
richer
sort
,
they
kil
an
Oxe
and
therin
they
include
and
put
in
a
Sheepe
exenterate
and
readye
dressed
,
in
the
whiche
Sheepe
there
is
a
Hen
,
in
the
which
hen
there
is
an
Egge
,
which
are
all
rosted
together
for
the
solempnitie
of
that
daye
,
then
at
supper
time
in
their
banquet
the
child
which
must
be
circumcised
is
brought
in
,
whose
yearde
and
priuie
member
the
phisician
openeth
and
apprehendethe
the
folded
skinn
with
a
fine
payre
of
pinsons
,
then
to
take
al
feare
from
the
childe
,
hee
●aith
that
he
will
make
the
circumcision
the
next
day
,
and
whileste
hee
vseth
those
wordes
,
he
sodeyn●ye
cutteth
the
prepuce
whiche
is
the
skin
that
couereth
the
head
of
the
yearde
,
layinge
a
little
salt
on
the
wound
.
They
do
not
geue
names
to
their
children
in
the
day
of
circumcision
,
but
in
the
day
of
their
natiuitie
,
after
thre
days
space
he
that
is
circumcised
,
is
led
withe
great
pompe
vnto
the
hath
,
when
he
commeth
home
agayne
,
he
is
led
throughout
all
the
gestes
whiche
offer
vnto
him
their
prepared
gifts
,
some
geue
silke
garments
some
siluer
cups
,
others
present
him
monye
or
horses
.
If
any
christian
man
of
his
owne
accorde
confessing
Mahumet
,
wyll
suffer
himselfe
to
be
circumcised
,
whyche
thing
chaunceth
often
times
for
the
greuouse
exaction
and
burden
of
the
tribute
,
such
one
is
●e●
throughout
all
the
stretes
and
lanes
of
the
cittie
,
with
greate
honor
and
triumphe
of
the
people
,
for
ioye
playinge
on
the
drummes
,
and
to
him
manye
giftes
are
presented
,
and
afterward
he
is
made
fre
from
their
payment
and
tribute
Yet
the
Turkes
compel
no
man
to
the
denial
of
his
religion
,
although
they
be
commaunded
in
the
booke
of
Alcoran
to
expulse
the
aduersaries
and
gainsayers
,
wherof
it
commeth
to
passe
that
so
many
and
diuerse
sectes
of
people
are
found
amongest
the
Turkes
,
al
whiche
do
reuerrence
and
honour
God
after
their
peculier
rites
and
customes
.
Their
priestes
do
little
differ
from
the
laitie
,
and
ther
is
no
great
learning
to
be
required
in
them
,
it
is
ynoughe
if
they
can
reade
the
booke
of
Alcoran
,
but
those
which
can
interprete
the
booke
according
to
the
texte
,
are
estemed
as
most
cunning
,
because
Mahumet
gaue
his
precepts
not
in
the
vulgar
turkishe
tonge
,
but
in
the
Arabicall
tonge
,
&
they
thinke
it
a
wicked
&
vnlawful
thing
to
haue
them
interpreted
or
set
forthe
in
the
vulgar
tongue
,
these
ministers
haue
their
stipende
and
rewarde
of
the
prince
for
their
paynes
,
they
haue
wiues
and
apparell
euen
as
secular
men
,
if
the
stipend
be
not
sufficient
for
the
multitude
&
number
of
their
children
,
then
may
they
practise
and
vse
al
maner
of
artes
,
crafts
and
trades
that
other
men
doe
,
but
yet
they
are
free
from
exactions
,
and
other
imposicions
,
and
are
greatly
estemed
of
the
common
sorte
.
They
haue
diuers
liuing
solitarye
like
vnto
monkes
,
which
vnder
the
colour
of
religion
,
inhabite
the
woodes
&
desert
places
,
vtterly
renounsinge
mens
company
,
and
som
of
them
haue
nothing
of
their
owne
,
but
they
go
almoste
naked
sauing
that
their
priuy
partes
be
couered
with
Sheepe
skinnes
,
they
traueyle
and
wander
through
oute
countries
askinge
almes
as
well
of
the
Christians
as
of
the
Turkes
.
Some
of
theym
goe
seldome
abroade
,
but
continue
in
temples
hauinge
in
the
corners
of
churches
litle
cottages
,
their
heades
vncouered
,
their
feete
without
shoes
,
their
bodies
without
garments
bearing
nothing
about
them
but
one
shirt
,
they
fast
many
dayes
and
praye
that
God
would
reueale
vnto
them
things
to
com
,
and
the
prince
of
the
Turkes
is
wonte
to
aske
counsell
of
them
when
soeuer
he
goeth
about
any
warres

What
execution
of
Iustice
the
Turk●
haue
,
what
kinde
of
mariages
,
what
maner
of

THe
Turkes
do
execute
iustice
mo●●
exquisitely
,
for
,
hee
that
is
giltie
of
slaughter
or
bloudshed
,
is
alwayes
punished
with
like
vexacion
and
torment
He
that
is
taken
withe
a
woman
in
adultrye
,
is
stoned
to
death
without
mercy
or
●arying
.
There
is
also
a
punishmente
appointed
for
those
whiche
are
taken
in
fornication
,
for
who
so
euer
is
apprehended
for
it
,
he
must
suffer
eight
hundred
lashes
with
a
whip
:
a
thiefe
for
the
firste
and
second
tyme
,
is
so
manye
times
scourged
also
,
but
if
he
be
taken
the
third
tyme
he
loseth
his

,
at
the
fowerth
tyme
hys
foote

Hee
that
doth
any
damage
to
anye
bodye
,
●s
compelled
to
make
satisfaction
according
to
the
estimate
of
the
losse
.
They
admit
no
witnesses
but
very
mete
and
allowable
persons
,
and
such
as
may
be
beleued
withoute
anye
othe
.
It
is
not
lawfull
for
anye
man
that
is
of
ful
age
to
liue
out
of

,
they
may
be
maryed
to
f●ure
lawfull
wiues
&
those
whosoeuer
they
wil
chose
except
their
mother
and
sist●rs
,
hauing
no
respect
at
all
to
the
propinquitie
of
bloud
,
they
maye
haue
as
many
illegitimate
and
vnlawfull
wiues
as
they
please
and
bee
able
to
keepe
,
the
children
both
of
lawefull
and
vnlawefull
wiues
are
equally
heyres
in
their
fathers
goodes
,
so
that
they
obserue
this
order
that
two
daughters
shall
but
matche
and
bee
equall
with
one
sonne
.
They
kepe
not
.ii.
or
moore
wiues
in
one
house
or
in
one
cittie
for
feare
of
often
contention
and
vnquietinge
,
but
in
euery
citie
they
keepe
one
,
the
husbandes
haue
this
libertie
to
putte
them
away
thre
times
and
to
take
theim
agayne
thrise
,
those

which
are

may
if
it
please
them
continue
and
abyde

such
men

receiueth
them

The
women
are
very
descent
and
honeste
in
their
apparell
,
they
vse
on
their
heads
a
kinde
of
linnen
like
vnto
youg
damsels
,
and
they
haue
veyles
ouer
the

the
folding
wherof
is
decent
,
that
the
topp
of
it
hangeth
ouer
the
left

righte
side
,
wherwith
if
they
goe
from
home
or
come
into
their
h●●bands
sight
they
may
quicklye
couer
all
their
face
●auing
the
eyes
,
the
woman
may
neuer
be
sene
in
the
company
of
men
,
nor
to
go
to
market
nor
to
bye
or
sell
anye
thinge
,
in
the
churches
they
haue
their
places
seperate
from
the
men
so
closely
that
no
man
may
peepe
into
them
nor
by
any
meanes
enter
into
theim
,
and
yet
it
is
not
lawfull
for
euerye
woman
to
enter
in
thither
,
but
for
noble
mens
wiues
and
neuer
els
but
on
Friday
at
xii
of
the
clocke
onely
,
they
vse
their
prayers
,
the
which
is
a
solempne
time
with
them
,
the
talkinge
of
man
and
woman
together
openly
is
so
rare
and
against
common
cu●tome
,
that
if
you
should
tary
a
whole
ye●re
with
them
,
you
could
scantly
se
it
once
.
It
is
thought
a
monstrous
thinge
that
a
man
should
openly
talke
with
a
woman
,
or
ryde
in
the
company
of
any
.
They
that
are
maried
together
do
neuer
vse
any
wā●on
toys
in
the
sight
of
others
,
they
neuer
brawle
nor
chide
,
because
the
men
do
neuer
omit
their
grauitie
towards
women
nor
wiues
,
their
reuerence
towards
their
husbands
:
great
Lordes
that
cannot
alwayes
be
with
their
wiues
,
haue
Eunuches
deputed
to
the
custody
of
them
,
which
do
so
diligently
obserue
,
marke
and
watche
them
,
that
it
is
vnpossible
for
anye
other
then
their
husbandes
to
speake
with
than
,
or
for
theym
to
do
a
misse
and
otherwyse
then
wel
.
They
contract
mariage
without
any
othe
,
they
take
no
sommes
of
monye
with
their
wiues
,
but
are
almoste
enforced
to
bye
theim
,
contrarye
to
the
Romaines
fashion
,
where
the
sonne
in
Lawe
was
wont
to
be
bought
and
not
the

The
wife
hathe
no
ornamente
nor
decking
vpon
her
body
but
that
she
is
driuen
to
gette
of
her
father
.
A
cause
of
deuorce
with
them
is
eyther
barrennes
,
or
intollerable
manners
,
their
iudge
is
pryuie
to
these
things
.
The

vse
most

The

deteste
oure

Of

THe
Lady
which
the
Poets

Flora
,
was
a
notable
and
common
harlot
,
who
when
shee
had
gotten
great
riches
by
common
ribaudrie
,
made
the
people
of
Rome
her
heire
,
and
left
a
certayne
somme
of
monye
,
with
the
yearlye
vse
where
of
the
daye
of
her
natiuitie
should
be
celebrate
in
the
setting
forth
of
goodly

,
the
which
thinge
because
it
seemed
detestable
to
attribute
a
certain
solempne
dignitie
to
a

thinge
,
they
fayned
and
surmised
her
to
be
a
goddesse
that
had
the
rule
and
gouernance

and
that
it

Of
the
Burialles
of
the
Turkes
,
and
of
diuerse
obseruacions
and
customes
.
WHan
any
dyeth
amongest
the
Turkes
,
they
washe
his
carcasse
and
couer
it
in
very
fair
linnen
clothes
.
Afterward
they
cary
the
bodye
out
of
the
citie
into
some
place
,
for
they
thinke
it
an
heynouse
thing
to
burye
one
in
the
Temple
.
Their
monkes
go
before
the
herse
with
candels
,
the
priests
folowe
singing
vntil
they
come
vnto
his
sepulture
and
graue
:
if
it
be
a
poore
man
that
is
dead
,
they
gather
monye
in
euery
stret
for
the
laboures
and
paines
of
the
religiouse
,
and
that
they
offer
vnto
him
.
The
frendes
of
the
dead
commeth
often
times
to
the
graue
weeping
and
bewaylinge
,
&
they
set
the
sacrifice
of
their
meates
for
the
dead
vpon
the
monument
,
as
bread
fleshe
these
,
egs
,
milke
,
and
the
feast
is
of
nyne
dayes
space
after
the
manner
of
the
Ethnickes
,
and
all
this
is
eaten
for
the
soule
of
the
dead
,
of
the
pore
,
or
ells
of
the
fowles
of
the
ayre
,
or
ants
,
for
thei
say
it
is
as
acceptable
vnto
God
,
to
geeue
and
offer
almes
to
bruit
beasts
,
and
fowles
neding
it
as
vnto
men
,
when
it
is
offered
for
the
loue
of
God.
There
be
som
that
set
birds
at
libertie
to
flye
,
which
were
restrained
and
shit
vp
,
geuing
monye
according
to
the
v●lewe
of
the
birdes
.
Some
cast
bread
to
fishe
in
the
waters
for
Gods
sake
,
saying
that
they
shal
get
of
God
a
noble
reward
for
such
●ountye
and
pitie
towardes
those
that
nede
it
.
The
Turkes
haue
also
thre
diuers
maners
of
washing
them
,
the
first
is
a
sprincbling
of
all
the
whole
body
,
with
water
,
and
that
this
should
not
be
vayne
●or
frustrate
,
they
shaue
the
heares
from
●uery
parte
of
their
bodye
,
sauing
onlye
that
heardes
in
men
,
&
the
heares
vpon
women
heads
.
And
yet
they
washe
them
very
curiously
and
kembe
them
often
,
therfore
in
the
more
famouse
citties
ther
be
baths
which
they
vse
continually
.
Wher
there
be
no
such
,
they
haue
som
secret
place
prepared
to
washe
theym
in
houses
that
they
might
be
wel
clarified
with
water
before
they
go
out
of
the
house
.
They
haue
another
kinde
of
washing
nothing
necessarye
as
when
they
ease
nature
of
superf●uities
For
then
in
some
secrete
place
they
wash
their
secret
partes
,
there
is
none
sene
standing
or
vpright
when
he
deliuereth
Na●ure
of
superf●uous
burdens
.
The
thyrd
kinde
of
washing
is
to
purifye
the
instrumentes
of
senses
wherin
they
wash
bothe
handes
and
armes
euen
to
the
elbowes
,
then
their
mouth
,
their
nosethrils
,
and
al
their
face
.
Both
men
&
women
do
make
a
scraping
of
filthye
places
euery
moneth
twise
or
thrise
,
but
especiallye
when
they
frequente
the
Temples
,
otherwise
they
should
be
burnt
as
violaters
and
prophaners
of
a
sacred
place
.
They
vse
such
seueritie
in
war
,
that
no
souldier
dareth
take
away
any
thing
vniustly
,
for
if
he
doth
he
shal
be
punished
withoute
mercie
.
They
haue
ordinarie
kepers
and
defenders
of
those
thinges
as
bee
in
souldiers
wayes
,
the
which
are
bound
to
mainteyn
the
orchardes
and
gardeynes
,
with
their
fruites
,
about
highe
wayes
,
so
that
they
dare
not
take
an
apple
or
any
such
like
,
with
out
the
lycence
of
the
owner
.
For
if
they
dyd
they
should
suffer
death
for
it
.
Of
this
writeth
one
Barthelmewe
Giurgeuitus
,
that
was
captiue
thirtene
yeres
in
Turkie
,
after
this
sort
.
When
I
was
in
the
Turkes
armie
in
his
expedition
againste
the
Persians
,
I
did
see
a
certayne
horseman
headd●d
with
his
horse
and
seruaunt
also
,
because
his
horse
beinge
loose
entered
into
the
fieldes
of
another
man
.
None
of
the
princes
or
Dukes
possesseth
any
prouince
or
cittie
,
as
rightfull
enheritance
,
nor
they
cannot
leaue
anye
suche
thing
after
their
death
to
their
children
,
or
successors
withoute
the
consente
of
the
king
and
supreme
gouernour
.
But
if
ani
Duke
desireth
to
haue
any
certayne
possessions
,
it
is
graunted
to
him
vpon
thys
condicion
,
there
is
a
perfect
note
made
of
the
price
,
&
of
the
rents
,
and
reuenues
of
those
possessions
.
The
Turke
knowethe
also
how
many
souldiers
may
be
kept
,
with
that
yearly
reuenue
,
and
so
many
souldiers
he
enioyneth
him
to
kepe
,
the
whiche
ought
alwayes
to
be
in
a
readines
at
euerye
commaundement
,
otherwise
that
Lorde
shall
lose
his
head
,
if
he
did
not
aunswere
his
duetie
and
office
.
How
the
Christians
taken
of
the
Turks
in
warre
be
handled
,
and
tormented
,
and
how
they
are
made
fre
.
THe
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
when
he
maketh
his
expedicion
against
the
Christians
,
he
hathe
alwaies
waytinge
vpon
him
a
companye
of
butchers
and
sellers
of
Boyes
to
abhominable
vses
,
who
cary
with
them
a
great
number
of
long
chaynes
,
in
hope
of
bondmen
and
captiues
,
wherein
they
lincke
and
bynde
fiftie
or
three
score
easlye
by
order
.
The
same
men
do
bye
also
of
suche
as
haue
boties
or
prayes
,
as
many
as
haue
not
perished
with
swoorde
,
the
whiche
thinge
is
permitted
them
vppon
this
condicion
yf
they
geue
vnto
the
prince
the
tenth
or
tithe
of
their
bondmen
prisoners
and
capti●es
The
other
it
is
lawful
for
them
to
keepe
to
their
owne
vse
and
marchandize
,
and
there
is
no
better
nor
moore
plenteouse
a
marte
amongest
them
,
then
of
bondmen
.
The
Emperour
doth
so
seperace
the
olde
men
and
the
youth
of
both
kindes
which
commeth
to
him
in
the
name
of
the
tenth
or
tithes
,
that
he
selleth
theym
of
ripe
age
,
for
the
ploughe
and
husbandrie
.
Younge
maides
and
yong
men
hee
sendeth
awaye
to
a
certain
place
,
to
be
instructed
in
certaine
artes
,
that
he
might
vse
them
after
warde
moore
commodiouslye
,
and
firste
they
goe
aboute
this
to
make
theym
denye
their
christian
faith
,
and
then
to
haue
them
circumcised
,
and
when
they
are
once
entered
into
their
ceremonies
,
according
to
euery
mans
disposition
and
wit
,
hee
is
appointed
either
to
studye
the
Lawes
of
their
nacion
,
or
elles
to
practise
feates
of
war
if
more
strength
appeareth
in
the
bodye
than
in
his
wit
,
they
are
so
instructed
in
the
principles
of
warlike
affayres
,
that
for
the
weakenes
of
their
strenght
,
fyrste
they
vse
an
easy
bowe
,
afterward
as
their
strength
increaseth
and
they
haue
moore
exquisite
knoweledge
,
they
haue
a
more
strong
bow
vntill
they
be
meete
for
war
.
There
is
a
maister
whiche
calleth
seuerlye
vpon
daylye
exercise
,
as
often
as
they
swarue
from
the
marke
so
oftentimes
are
they
whipped
.
Others
are
made
meete
and
cunninge
to
fight
with
staues
.
But
they
in
whome
there
is
a
greater
grace
of
beautiful
forme
are
so
mangled
that
no
manlines
appeareth
in
their
bodies
,
they
haue
bene
so
abused
with
great
daunger
of
lyfe
,
and
if
they
do
escape
they
be
mete
for
nothing
els
but
ministers
of
moste
flagitious
voluptuousenes
,
and
when
their
beauty
waxeth
olde
,
thei
are
deputed
into
the
office
of
Eunuches
,
to
obserue
and
kepe
matrones
,
or
ells
they
are
addicted
to
the
custodye
of
Horses
or
Mules
,
or
to
kitchin
drudgerie
.
Maydens
that
are
verye
comelye
and
beautifull
,
are
chosen
to
be
their
concubines
,
those
of
the
meaner
sort
are
geuen
to
matrones
to
wait
vpon
them
,
where
they
haue
some
suche
filthye
seruices
and
functions
,
that
they
cannot
be
named
with
honesty
,
for
they
are
compelled
to
folow
them
with
a
vessell
of
water
when
they
go
to
discharge
the
bellyr
,
and
those
partes
.
Other
be
kept
at
maydens
workes
,
as
spinning
,
and
bakinge
.
When
the
Turks
haue
gotten
any
yong
prisoners
,
they
vrge
theym
with
threateninges
,
promisses
,
and
flateringes
,
that
their
new
bond
men
wold
be
circumcised
and
when
any
hath
admitted
that
,
hee
is
vsed
with
a
little
more
humanitie
,
but
al
hope
of
returning
again
into
his
country
is
vtterly
taken
awaye
,
and
if
he
once
goeth
about
it
,
he
is
in
daunger
of
burning
.
These
because
they
are
thoughte
moore
stedfast
,
and
lesse
geuen
to
run
away
,
thei
are
preferred
of
their
Lordes
to
warlike
affayres
,
their
libertie
is
then
dewe
vnto
theym
,
when
they
being
vnprofitable
for
yeares
be
rather
reiected
of
their
Lordes
than
dismissed
,
or
ells
where
their
Lorde
hath
geuen
them
libertie
in
warre
,
for
the
daunger
of
death
that
he
hath
escaped
by
them
.
Matrimony
is
permitted
vnto
them
but
their
children
are
taken
from
theym
at
the
Lordes
will
,
the
which
causeth
the
wiser
sort
to
abhorre
from
mariages
,
they
vse
other
extremely
that
refuse
circumcision
.
They
haue
a
very
hard
life
that
haue
not
learned
any
art
or
craft
:
for
such
are
in
great
estimation
as
are
cunning
craftes
men
.
Wherfore
the
noble
men
,
the
priestes
and
the
learned
sort
,
which
passe
ouer
their
liues
in
quietnes
and
idlenes
,
whensoeuer
they
chaunce
into
their
handes
,
they
are
thought
moste
miserable
o●
all
,
for
the
marchaunt
seller
of
them
can
not
abyde
when
he
seeth
no
profit
to
com●
of
them
nor
any
good
sale
to
be
made
.
These
go
with
their
feete
and
head
vncouered
,
and
for
the
most
parte
with
naked
bodies
,
through
the
snowe
,
and
vpon
the
stones
,
both
winter
and
sommer
they
are
enforced
to
trauayle
,
and
there
is
no
end
of
these
miseries
,
before
that

No

is
so
happy
of

so
euer

or
of
what
age

beautie
or

he
bee
that
they
wil
lay
him
,
being
sicke
in
his
iorney
,
at
anye
Inne
or
lodginge
house
,
for
first
hee
is
compelled
to
go
with
stripes
&
if
he
cannot
so
do
he
is
set
vpon
som
yong
beast
,
&
there
if
he
cannot
syt
,
he
is
bounde
with
his
bodye
flat
euen
lyke
vnto
a
packe
or
a
burden
,
if
he
dyeth
they
take
awaye
hys
clothes
and
cast
him
into
the
next
ditch
or
valley
for
dogs
and
rauens
.
They
keepe
their
captiues
not
onely
in
chaynes
,
but
also
withe
gyues
vppon
their
handes
,
as
they
leade
them
,
the
distance
betwene
them
is
about
a
yearde
,
least
they
shoulde
one
spurne
and
hurte
an
other
,
and
this
doe
they
for
feare
their
bondmen
hurle
stones
at
them
.
For
where
as
euerye
one
that
is
a
common
marchant
and
seller
of
men
,
leadeth
a
great
number
of
bondmen
,
so
that
ten
of
them
oftentimes
haue
fiue
hundred
in

,
they
feare
the
force
of
suche
a
great
multitude
,
if
their
handes
shoulde
be
at
libertie
to
throwe
or
cast
any
thing
.
In
the
nighte
tyme
they
make
their
feete
sure
with
chaynes
and
irons
,
and
lay
them
vpon
their
backes
,
open
to
the
iniurie
of
the
the
ayre
,
the
women
are
vsed
with
moore
humanitie
,
they
that
are
able
do
go
vpon
their
feet
,
and
they
that
are
lesse
able
,
be
caryed
vpon
yonge
cattell
,
and
those
that
are
so
weake
that
they
may
not
suffer
the
shaking
of
the
horses
,
or

,
or
such

caryed
in

lyke
vnto

The

is
more
heauie
vnto

for
then
eyther
they
are
shit

in
strong

or

are

to
suffer
the
filthy
lust
of
those
that

and
great
lamentacion
is
hard
in
the

so
that

such
is
the
cruelnes
of

against

When

originall

was
the
Prince
of

Wherfore
it
is
not
to
be
meruailed
,
if
hee
hath
set
the
seedes
of
all
euil
,
and
such
as
wil
not

Some
sayth
that
he
was
a
Cyrenaic
in
nacion
,
some
,
that
he
was
an

,
others
that
he
was
a

Hee
was
borne
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
.597
.
A
man
of
an
obscure
familye
,
and
of
no
great
wealth
nor
strength
nor
manhoode
:
some
saye
that
his
father
was
a
worshipper
of
deuils
,
&
that
limaelita
his
mother
,
was
not
ignorant
of
the
lawes
of
the
Hebrewes
.
wherefore
the
chil●e
being
distrace
and
made
doubtfull
because
whyleste
that
his
father
teached
him
one
kinde
of
religion
,
his
mother
suggested
another
,
so
that
hee
folowed
none
of
them
throughlye
.
And
thus
being
trayned
vp
in
ii
.
seueral
manners
he
receiued
and
kept
none
of
them
at
his
full
age
,
but
he
being
brought
vp
amongest
the
good
christians
,
beinge
of
a
subtile
and
craftye
wit
,
inuented
and
deuised
of
both
lawes
a
most
perniciouse
and
detestable
secte
for
mankinde
.
After
the
death
of
his
parents
he
was
taken
of
the
Sarracens
which
wer
accompted
notable
amongest
the
Arabians
in
theft

was
solde
to

,
&

was
at

mad●●he

of

did
driue
camels
through

Egipt
,
Syria
,
Palestine
,
and
other
strange
places
,
with
the
often
trauaile

places
,
he
vsinge
the
companye
aswell
of
the
Iewes
as
of
christians
,
manye
tymes
●tudied
and
went
about
not
to
learn
,
but
to
depraue
the
olde
and
newe
Testament
being
taught
diuerse
sects
of
his
parents
:
to
this
he
added
the
gaynes
that
came
by
theft
,
and
dayly
imagined
how
to
deceue
his
maister
.
Wherfore
being
suspected
of
his
maistar
and
hated
of
others
,
of
an
obscure
seruaunte
and
slaue
he
became
a
notorious
theife
and
robber
.
And
beinge
made
more
famouse
with
his
continuall
theft
and
robberies
,
he
got
dayly
a
great
number
of

greatlye
to

Thus
comming
by
litle
and
little
in

of

,
hee
got
vnto
him
no

maryed

the

so

wife
could
not
wel
suffer
for
the
often
comming
therof
.
Wherfore
the
olde
dissemblinge
knaue
to
deliuer
himselfe
from
that
infamie
,
doth
hide
and
cloke
his
disease
:
sayeinge
it
to
be
the
meruailous
brightnes
of
Gabriell
the
aungel
&
messenger
of
God
,
of
whom
he
being
put
in
that
traunce
did
receiue
and
learne
most
secret
&
straunge
thinges
,
and
that
hee
was
not
able
to
abyde
the
presence
of
him
:
with
a
manifest
lye
be
affirmed
it
.
O
my
deare
and
wel-beloued
wife
he
sayth
,
marueile
not
that
this
commeth
to
me
when
I
conceiue
the
spirite
of
God
himselfe
,
who
suggestethe
to
mee
thinges
to
come
,
and
to
make
mee
priuye
of
many
matters
,
he
commeth
often
to
mee
.
The
fame
hereof
was
spred
abroade
immediatlye
,
and
he
was
openly
called
the
prophet
of
God
,
the
which
opinion
he
encreased
with
a
newe
art
&
craft
by
the
instruction
of
his
maister
Sergius
.
For
he
accustomed
and
taught
a
Doue
to
be
fed
,
and
fetche
meate
at
his
eares
,
the
whiche
doue
his
most
subtile
and
craftye
maister
called
the
holye
ghost
.
A
Doue
.
He
preached
openlye
and
made
his
braggs
lyke
a
most
lying
vil●en
that
this
doue
did
shew
vnto
him
the
most
secrete
counsel
of
God
,
as
often
as
the
simple
fowle
did
flye
vnto
his
dares
for
norishment
.
His
wife
being
now
dead
left
him
her
heyre
and
all
that
she
had
,
so
that
he
encreased
in
wealthe
&
authoritie
daylye
,
and
began
to
make
a

Lawe
by
the
healpe
of
his

S●●g●●s
and
certayne
Iewes
his
companions
,
borowing
s●me
thinges
of
the
Hebrewes
,
and
some
thinges
of
the
christians
discipline
,
he
did
write
in
a
certayne
vo●ume
all
the
lawes
of
his
new
sect
,
that
whiche
●ookes
name
is
Alcoran
:
that
koke
no●
manye
yeares
ag●e

come

A●d
that
he
might
the
more
craftelye
deceyue
hys
people
and
nacion
geeuen
●o
the
bellyeane
to

,
he
brought

a

Bull
whych
was
vsed
●nely
to
take
foode
at
the
handes
of
Ma●●met
,
he
bounde
a
booke
betwyxte
hys
●ornes
and
the
simple
people
lookynge
a●oute
,
with
an
highe
voyce
,
A
Bull.
he
called
the
Bull
out
of
a
●ecrete
place
,
and
when
hee
with
hys
bablyng
tonge
had
vttered
madye
thyngs
concerning
hys
lawes
,
sodenlye
the
Bull
start
forth
and
ouerthroweynge
manye
in
hys
hast
ye
comminges
,
he
●ayeth
downe
the
booke
in
the
handes
of
Mahumet
as
it
had
bene
a
gift
sent
from
heauen
.
The
whiche
he
receiuing
withe
much
honour
,
did
immediatly
interprete
many
thynges
out
of
it
to
the
people
,
and
wyth
this
forged
and
subtyle
deuise
,
hee
named
hym selfe
a
Prince
,
and
Sergius
a
prophete
:
For
the
doue
brought
a
paper
about
her
necke
written
with
golden
letters
,
in
this
maner
.
Whosoeuer
shal
put
the
yoke
on
the
buls
necke
,
let
him
be
king
.
Sergius
broughte
the
yoke
and
gaue
it
to
Mahumet
,
who
did
easly
put
it
on
the
bul
,
and
by
and
by
hee
was
called
kinge
of
the
simple
people
,
thinking
these
thinges
to
be
done
by
Gods
prouidence
,
and
that
he
tooke
the
booke
no
other
wise
.
In
thys
booke
they
are
commaunded
to
be
circumcysed
not
for
anye
religyon
,
but
for
mere
supersticion
,
or
els
as
some
saye
that
no
filth
shoulde
remayne
vnder
the
skyn
of
the
yearde
when
they
did
washe
and
bath
them
There
was
also
commaunded
abstinence
of
wine
and
fleshe
,
The
Turkes
admit
onely
three
prophets
Mahumet
their
lawe
geuer
,
Moyses
the
prophet
of
the
Hebrewes
,
&
Christe
whom
they
denie
to
be
God.
Mahumet
made
a
●●rsed
lawe
,
that
if
anye
man
should
dispute
against
his
misteries
,
that
he
should
suffer
death
for
it
,
in
the
whiche
lawe
hee
hath
manifestly
taught
,
that
there
is
no
sin●ere
or
goode
thynge
in
Alcoran
,
the
whiche
he
goeth
aboute
to
defende
by
the
sworde
onelye
.
Thus
withe
Sergius
hee
made
this
booke
full
of
wickednes
&
corrupted
the
true
scriptures
with
counterfait
interpretacions
,
and
that
he
mighte
be
accompted
the
prophete
and
conseruatour
of
both
Testamentes
,
he
flattered
the
christians
in
this
that
he
was
baptized
o●
Sergius
,
and
commaunded
his
people
to
be
washte
often
for
the
expiacion
of
theyr
offences
.
He
folowed
also
the
Iewes
,
in
that
,
that
he
appointed
circumcision
,
and
abstinence
from
swynes
fleshe
,
and
yet
in
deede
he
did
disagree
from
both
.
For
circumcision
whiche
is
commaunded
to
bee
the
eyght
day
,
extendeth
to
the
very
ful
&
complet
age
,
and
baptisme
that
taketh

They
kepe

They

Of
their
lawes
whyche
they
vsed
this
●●e
is
memorable
,
that
their
maydens
and
virgines
beinge
rype
for
men
,
were

into
som
open
place
,
&
ther
were
set
to
be
solde
yearly
for
them
that
wold
marye
any
wyues
,
and
first
of
all
the
most
beautiful
ware
set

They
whyche
had
not

comely
beautye
so
that
no
man
woulde
bye
them
nor
scantlye
take
theim
frelye
,
were
bestowed
in
matrimony
with
that
somme
of
money
whiche
was
gathered
of
the
selling
the
fayre
maydes
.
They
had
no
vse
of
phisicians
,
but
ther●
was
a
lawe
amongest
theym
that
if
any●
did
fall
sicke
,
he
should
aske
counsayle
o●
those
that
had
beene
visited
and
trouble●
wyth
the

sicknes
.
Some
say
that
thei●
sicke
folkes
were
caryed
abrode
,
and
tha●
by
the
lawe
they
whyche
had
bene
sike
a●
any

should
vysit

were
no●
sicke
,
and
teache
them
by
what
meanes
●
remedies
especially
they
were
deliuered
from
their
sickenes
.
They
had
for
thei●
priestes
,
men
of
greate
knowledge
in
Astronomie
,
who
coulde
faythfullye
interprete
dreames
,
and
monstruouse
things
,
and
these
were
not
taught
nor
learned
abroade
,
but
the
children
tooke
their
discipline
and
learninge
,
as
inheritance
from
their
parents
.
With
long
and
aunciente
obseruacion
of
the
sterres
they
did
prognosticate
to
mortall
men
many
thinges
to
come
,
they
did
attribute
great
strength
to
the
planets
,
but
other
especiallye
to
Saturne
.
They
therfore
tolde
many
things
to
princes
,
as
to
Alexander
his
victo●ye
whiche
he
had
against
Darius
,
and
to
diuers
other
in
lyke

The
maners
of

THe
Persians
wolde
not

,
nor
caste

therein
,
nor
so
much
as
spet
in

for
they
did
most
religiously
reuerence
the

.
Their

always
created
of

and
he
that

his

,
&
was
caste

vnburyed
.
They
had
many
wyu●s
for
the
increase
of
their
stocke
,
and
many
concubines
also
,
they
gaue
great
rewardes
to
them
that
had
gotten
manye
chyldren
in

.
The
children
after
they
were
borne
,
came
not
into
their
Fathers
sight
,
for
fiue
yeares

but
were

Their

and
when
anye

consumed
of

Beastes

they
thought
it

that

therfore
not

The

of

who
with
his
noble
actes
getteth
greate
Empyre
,
and
glorye
.
Of
the
Panther
and
Tygre
.
THe
Panther
is
a
beaste
like
vnto
●
Lybarde
,
he
hath
varietie
of
colors
and
is
verye
fierce
and
wylde
,
so
that
some
cal
him
a
dog
wolfe
,
and
yet
hee
is
gentle
ynough
if
he
be
fylled
.
He
slepeth
three
dayes
,
and
after
the
thirde
daye
,
he
washeth
himself
and
cryeth
out
,
and
with
a
swete
cente
that
commeth
from
him
,
he
gathereth
al
wilde
beastes
together
whiche
are
led
and
moued
with
his
sauoure
,
and
he
is
frendly
to
all
wylde
beastes
sauing
the
Dragon
and
serpent
.
The
she
Panther
is
sayd
to
be
a
beaste
differinge
from
the
male
,
because
shee
is
cruel
and
ful
of
spotts
.
Some
saye
that
al
beastes
are
merueylously
delighted
with
the
cent
of
them
,
but
by
their
horrible
lokes
they
are
made
a
frayde
,
and
therfore
hydinge
their
heades
,
they
take
and
catche
other
beastes
allured
withe
the

as
gotes

such
lyke
,
which
beinge
taken
with
a

pleasantnes
commeth
nearer
and
nearer
,
but
the
Lybard
leaping
out
of
her
den
,
flyeth
vp
on
them

In
Caria
and
Lybia
the
panthers
be
of
a
good
lengthe
and
some
what
timerous
&
not
so
ful
of
agilitie
in
leaping
,
but
they
haue
so
hard
a
skynne
,
that
you
can
hardlye
pearse
it
,
the
female
is
more
common
to
be
founde
.
The
Tygre
is
a
beast
of
a
wonderful
swyftnes
,
it
bringeth
foorthe
many
yong
,
the
which
many
do
steale
awaye
vpon

very
swyft
:
But
when
the
female
seeth
her
yong
gone
,
for
the
males
take
no
care
of
the
yonge
,
shee
runneth
headlong
serching
by

The
taker
of
her
yong
hearing
her
comming

with
raginge
,
casteth
downe
one

the
whiche
shee
taketh
away
with
her
mouth
,
and
after
that
shee
retourneth
again
with
merueilous
celeritye
,
so
that
she
getteth
another

and
so
the
thirde
tyme
,
and
vntil
that
hee

and
then
she
seing
her

frustrate
rageth

S.
Augustine
saythe
there
was
a
Tygre
made

Strabo
saith
Megasthenes
writeth
that
in

amongeste
the
people
called
Prasii

the
Tygre
is
of
double

of

he

Some
say
when

she
is
deceiued
&

of
booties
and
prayes
refused
peace
beinge
intreated
.
Some
say
the
Parthians
when
they
poured
in
the
melted
golde
into
hys
mouthe
sayde
:
Nowe
drinke
golde
thou
that
hast
alwayes
thirsted
for
Golde
,
and
as
yet
couldest
neuer
be
filled
with
gold
.
The
whiche
sayinge
is
also
rehearsed
of
Tomyris
the
queene
of
the
Massagets
in
Scythia
,
Of
the
people
of
Carmania
,
and
those
which
are
called
Icthiophagi
.
IN
Carmania
no
man
may
haue
a
wife
before
he
hath
brought
the
head
of
his
enemie
cut
of
to
the
kinge
.
The
kinge
cutteth
the
tong
therof
into
small
partes
and
mingleth
it
with
bread
,
&
afterward
geueth
it
to
be
eaten
to
him
that
brought
it
and
to
his
familiers
,
and
he
is
a
notable
felowe
that
bringeth
many
heades
.
The
Icthiophagi
be
so
called
because
they
eate
fishe
most
commonly
and
so
doe
their
cattell
,
and
they
drincke
raynie
and
wel
water
.
They
feede
their
Fyshe
with
beasts
fleshe
.
They
make
their
houses
of
whales
boones
and
oyster
shels
,
of
theyr
fishe
being
dryed
they
make
breade
,
putting
a
little
wheate
vnto
it
,
for
they
haue
small
store
of
wheate
.
It
is
read
of
this
nacion
that
many
of
them
goynge
naked
al
their
liues
haue
their
wiues
and
children
in

like

,
that

They
be
good
horsemen

il
fotemen
,
&
therfore
none
goeth
on
fote
,
but
rydes
either
on
horsebacke
or
vpon
some
oxe
.
They
haue
a
glorye
to
hang
good
sounding
bels
about
their
horse
necks
.
When
they

they
powre
it
in
vntil
they

Drunkennes
taken
for

the
which
is
is
a
great
prayse
amongest
them

They
haue
no
bread
nor

they

They
eate
no

onelye
the

of
al
kinde
of
liuing
thinges
,
as
cats
,
dogs
,
horse
,
and
al
kynde
of
great
myce
.
They
roste
the
bodies
of
suche
as
they
take
in
war
to
showe
their
crueltie
and
desyre
of
reuenging
,
and
where
many
metes
together
at
the
eating
of
them
,
they
teare
them
with
their
teeth
lyke
wolues
,
and
drinke
the
bloud
therof
,
whiche
they
reserued
afore
in

otherwise
they
drinke
cowes

One
of
them
eateth
the
lyce
from
anothers
head
,
saying
:
thus
wil
we
doo
to
our
enemies
.
It
is
an
heynous
thinge
with
them
to
suffer
any
drinke
to
be
loste
or
any
meate
,
and
therefore
they
caūe
no
bones
to
dogs
before
that
the
marie
bee
taken
away
,
and
many
other
things
are
reported
of
them
which
Munster
setteth

In
warre
they
haue
swordes
of
a

,
their
horsemen
are
very
skilful
in
shoting
,
their
princes
neuer
enter
into

but
standinge
a
●ar
of
,
they
crye
vnto
their
own
company
and
exhort
them
if
they
se
any
thing
needeful
.
They
carrye
their
wiues
and
their
children
,
because
their
wiues
bee
attired
like
to
men
,
and
also
ymages
of
men
on
horsbacke
to
their
warrs
that
they
might
seme
a
great
number
and
more
terrible
to
their
enemies
.
They
thinke
no
shame
nor
ignominie
in
flying
,
if
it
be
necessary
and
expedient
so
to
do
.
If
they
gette
the
victorie
they
spare
none
,
neither
women
,
nor
children
,
nor
olde
folkes
,
they
slea
all
sauing
craftes
men
and
artificers
whom
they
reserue
to
their
vses
.
They
are
very
incontinent
,
and
therfore
they
take
as
many
wiues
as
they
wil
,
and
may
sustayne
,
and
they
except
none
,
but
the
mother
,
the
daughter
,
and
sister
,
&
yet
they
be
much
geuen
to
the
Sodomiticall
sinne
They
do
not
make
accompt
of
any
woman
as
of
their
wife
,
nor
yet
think
her
worthy
of
dower
before
that
shee
hathe
broughte
forth

and
therfore
they
maye
refu●e
her

if

he

compelleth

then
his

and
al
thinges

are
purged

fier
after
a
curious
sort

When
they
chuse
and
elect
their

,
they
mete
together
in
a
fayre
fielde
,
and
then
they
set
him

throne
and
chayre
,
to
whome
the
kingdome
is

,
either
by

and
falling

they
cry

Therefore
my

my
●worde
,
and
al
the
people
clap
their
han●es
with
great
reioysing
.
Then
the
noble
men
take
him
from
the
regall
seate
,
and
make
him
to
sit
softelye
vpon
a
cushin

There
be
seuen
special
orders
amongest
the
Indians
,
.
The
first
is
of
philosophers
,
which
being
fewe
in
number
were
prefered
before
the
rest
in
honor
and
dignitie
,
they
are
free
from
all
workes
,
and
neyther
serue
anye
bodye
,
nor
gouerne
or
rule
,
thei
take
such
things
of
pryuate
folkes
wherwith
they
do
sacryfice
,
and
they
haue
a
care
of
the
dead
,
&
especially
kn●w
what
is
done
in
hell
,
and
therfore
manye
giftes
and
hono●rs
are
bestowed
vppon
them
,
they
profit
muche
to
the

,
do
onelye
bestowe
their
time
in
tilling
the
ground
,
no
enemie
offreth
any
iniurie

them
,
because
they
are
thought

be
occupied
about
the
common
profit
,
they
lyue
in
the
fieldes
withe
their
wiues
and

Of

THE

Their

And
therfore
they
nether

diuersities
of

in

nor
their

,
but
they
haue
good
healthe
very

One
desireth
no

they
liue

amongest
those

equall
,
ther
is
no
place
for
enuye
seeinge
that
none
is
superiour
,
they
haue
no
iudgements
because
they
do
nothing
worthy

,
their

is
not

Oure
auncestors
haue
fayned
many
monsters
in
this
countrie
,
as
people
with
heades
like
vnto
dogs
armed
onely
with
●ayles
,
clothed
with
hides
&
skinnes
,
hauing
no
kinde
of
mans
speach
but
onelye
a
kinde
of
barking
.
There
be
some
that
liue
at
the
fountayne
of
Ganges
,
whiche
take
no
benefit
by
meat
but
liue
onely
by
the
sauour
of
wilde
apples
,
and
when
they
go
far
they
carrye
them
for
their
maintenance
,
and
liue
by
the
smel
and
sauour
of
them
.
If
they
come
into
any
filthy
or
stinking
ayre
,
they
must
needes
dye
,
and
it
is
sayd
that
some
of
theym
were
seene
in
the
tents
and
armie
of
Alexander
.
We
reade
also
that
ther
be
certaine
people
with
one
eye
in
India
,
and
some
to
haue
so
great
eares
that
they
hang
downe
euen
to
the
feete
,
and
manye
to
haue
but
one
foote
,
and
that
so
greate
that
when
they
lye
downe
on
their
backs
and
wolde
kepe
them
from
the
sonne
,
the
shadow
of
that
onelye
leg
doth
comfort
theim
.
It
is
read
also
that
there
is
a
nacion
whiche
hath
graye
heares
in
youth
,
the
which
in
age
waxeth
black
,
and
also
men
saye
ther
is
an
other
kinde
of
women
whiche
conceiue
at
fiue
yeares
of
age
,
but
they
liue
not
aboue
eight
yeares
,
there
be
some
that
lacke
neckes
and
haue
eyes
in
their
shoulders
,
there
be
wilde
men
also
withe
beades
like
vnto
dogs
,
with
a
rough
and
heary
body
which
make
a
terrible
hissinge
,
but
these
and
such
like
are
not
to
be
credited
and
taken
for
truthe
,
except
great
reason
can
perswade
that
such
maye
bee
and
experience
can
proue
the
same
.
It
is
also
thought
that
ther
is
a
certayn
people
called
Pygmeis
which
be
neuer
in
peace
but
when
the
cranes
with
whome
they
haue
continuall

Of

MEga●thenes

of
the

in

after
this
sort
,
there
is
an
hil
of
three
thousand
furlonges
in
compasse
in
India
,
and
many
gold
mynes
therein
,
the
which
are
kept
with
ants
as
byg
as
foxes
,
getting
their
liuinge
with
a
merueilous
celeritie
in
hunting
,
Antes
as
big
as
foxes
.
they
dig
and
s●rape
the
earth
that
bringeth
forthe
golde
,
and
heapeth
it
vp
at
the
hole
of
their

,
the
whiche
marchaunts
do
priue
lye
steale
away
,
laying
fleshe
for
a
bayt
to
stay
the
ants
if
perhaps
they
shuld
marke
them
.
This
is
thought
of
many
to
be
a
fable
,

it

Of
Indian
Apes
.
ABout
the
mountains
called
Emodii
there
is
a
greate
woode
ful
of
greate
Apes
,
the
which
as
the
Macedonians
did
se
standing
as
it
were
thick
together
vpon
the
hills
,
and
hauing
weapons
like
men
of
warre
,
for
that
kinde
of
beast
commeth
as
neare
to
humane
subtilitie
as
Elephants
do
,
they
would
haue
set
vppon
them
as
ennemies
,
had
not
the
inha●itantes
of
the
countrie
bene
present
and
shewed
vnto
Alexander
that
it
was
nothing
but
an
assemble
of
apes
,
whiche
contend
to
imitate
suche
thinges
as
they
see
,
&
so
that
battel
was
turned
to
laughinge
.
Apes
are
taken
after
this
maner
they
that
hunt
apes
,
set
dishes
full
of
water
in
the
sight
of
the
apes
,
and
therewith
they
annointe
and
washe
their
eyes
,
and
sodenly
with
as
priuye
spede
as
they
can
,
they
take
awaye
the
water
and
set
pots
with
birdlime
,
and
such
like
stuffe
in
stede
ther
of
,
the
apes
perceiuing
them
anointinge
their
eyes
,
being
geuen
to
folow
al
thinges
,
come
downe
immediatlye
from
the
trees
,
and
thinking
to
do
as
the
men
did
,
they
dawbe
and
annoynte
their
eyes
and
mouthes
with
birdlime
,
and
so
are
they
easye
to
be
made
a
praye
and
taken
aliue
.
They
vse
also
an
other
trade
to
take
them
They
take
buskins
and
put
them
on
in
the
sight
of
the
apes
and
so
departe
,
leauing
others
annoynted
inwardlye
with
birdelyme
and
and
suche
like
,
and
some
what
heary
that
the
fraude
might
not
appeare
the
which
the
apes
pluckinge
vpon
their
legs
are
so
snared
and
intangled
with
yt
,
that
they
cannot
escape
the
handes
of

There
is
in

also
dogs
of
such

Of

The
Indian
Diamonde
shineth
with
a
more
orientnes
then
the
others
.
There
is
one
kinde
of
this
stone
that
is
somewhat
of
an
iron
colour
,
and
differeth
not
much
from
a
christall
in
colour
,
for
commonly
it
is
somewhat
white
,
but
it
is
harder
then
christall
,
so
that
if
it
bee
layd
vpon
the
Smythes
anuile
and
most
●ehemently
beaten
with
an
hammer
,
rather
the
anuile
and
the
hammer
wil
bre●ke
asunder
then
that
wil
be
deuided
into
parts
,
and
it
doth
not
onely
refist
the
blowes
of
yron
,
but
also
the
heate
of
fyer
,
so
●hat
it
wil
not
melt
or
geue
place
therto
,
for
if
we
maye
geeue
credite
to
Pliny
,
it
●il
neuer
waxe
warme
,
and
that
because
●t
cannot
be
more
pure
then
it
is
,
for
it
is
●euer
contaminate
.
But
yet
the
straunge
●ardnes
of
this
stone
,
is
made
so
soft
with
●he
warme
bloud
of
a
Lyon
,
or
a
Goate
,
●hat
it
may
be
broken
.
In

taketh
such
heate
that
it
may
be
dissolued
:
but
this
hardnes
is
not

euery
Diamonde
,
for
that
whiche
is
of
Cyprus

called
Syderites
,
maye
be
broken
with
a
maitet
,
and
pearced
throughe
with
an

Diamond

The
Diamond
doth
deprehend

and
if
there
be

then
he
succedeth
in
the
crowne
which
is
nearest
of
consangninitie

and
this
is
for
none

cause

but
because
the

When

the

kepe
the

nothing

more
acceptable
to
the

then
that
they
should
be
acqueynted
with
the

in
venereouse
acts

and
therefore
the

knoweth
for
a
certaintye
that
those
children
which
he
hath
by
his

cannot
be
accompted

taketh
them
heires

The

kepe
this

such

they

In
this

is
found
a
Serpent
called
Salamandra

,
that
will
not

Of
the
Cocatrice
.
THere
is
in
Africke
a
kinde
of
Serpent
called
a
Cocatrice
,
which
hath
a
white
spot
in
his
head
,
hauinge
the
fashion
of
a
Diademe
.
His
head
is
verye
sharpe
,
his
mouth
red
,
his
eyes
somwhat
black
in
colour
,
as
Pliny
saith
with
hys
hyssinge
he
driueth
away
all
kinde
of
serpents
.
He
destroyeth
withe
his
breathe
young
trees
and
plants
,
consumeth
herbes
,
breake
the
stones
,
and
infecteth
the
ayre
where
hee
taryethe
,
so
that
a
byrde
can
not
flye
ouer
that
ayre
or
throughe
it
without
daunger
of
death
.
Yet
it
is
said
that
the
poyson
of
a
Weasel
is
his
destruc●ion
.
Achanus
sayth
that
he
hath
so
sharp
poyson
that
excedinge
not
in
lengthe
a
mans
hand
,
yet
hee
extinguisheth
euerye
great
serpent
with
his
onely
breath
.
There
is
not
a
more
hurtfull
or
more
pestilent
beast
vppon
the
earth
,
for
this
lying
in
his
den
may
destroy
a
wholl

Of
the
Crocodile
.
THe
Crocodile
is
found
commonly
aboute
the
water
of
Nilus
&
Ganges
in
India
,
and
waxeth
of
a
litle
thing
to
a
very
greate
beast
.
For
his
eggs
are
much
like
vnto
goose
eggs
,
but
the
yong
whyche
commeth
of
theim
taketh
increase
to
sixtene
or
eyghtene
cubites
in
length
he
liueth
almost
as
long
as
a
man
,
he
lacketh
a
tong
,
his
bodie
is
meruelouslye
defended
of
nature
,
for
al
his
backe
is
ful
of
scales
and
wonderful
harde
,
his
tayle
is
long
,
he
hath
many
teeth
on
both
sides
of
his
mouth
,
wherof
two
do
especially
hang
out
,
he
doth
not
onely
deuoure
man
,
but
also
other
earthly
beastes
comming
nere
to
the
water
,
he
dismembreth
them
with
his
nayles
,
whiche
hee
hathe
sharper
than
anye
weapon
.
His
bytinge
is
cruell
and
sharpe
,
and
he
so
rendeth
with
his
teeth
,
that
it
can
neuer
be
healed
,
there
is
great
store
of
them
about
Nilus
,
because
they
are
verye
fruitful
of
themselues
,
hauing
yonge
euerye
yeare
,
and
also
they
are
seldome
taken
.
It
is
a
feareful
beast
flying
from
those
that
persecute
him
,
and
persecuting
those
that
flye
away
from
him
.
It
is
said
that
when
hee
goeth
aboute
to
deuoure
a
man
that
hee
beginneth
to
weepe
,
wher
of
hath
sprong
this
prouerbe

that

when

Plinye
sayth
that
this

hee

and
in

tyme
in

,
his

be

and
his
sighte
is
●erueylous
sharpe
out

saye
that

The
Rites
and
Manners
of
the
Egiptians
.
THere
Egiptians
were
almost
the
firste
in
the
worlde
,
wherof
other
nacions
learned
and
tooke
their
lawes
,
wisdome
,
manners
,
and
liuinge
,
and
we
reade
that
for
learning
sake
Homer
,
Dedalus
,
Solon
Plato
,
and
manye
other
went
thither
.
For
althoughe
they
were
gentiles
&
not
beleeuyng
on
God
,
yet
they
studied
much
for
honesty
and
goodnesse
,
and
with
their
honest
conuers●cion
dyd
allu●e
straungers
and
good
men
to
come
vnto
them
,
and
to
learne
that
whyche
they
could
not
fynde
in
other
places
.
Their
women
in
tymes
past
did
vse
marchandize
and
all
thinges
appertayni●ge
to
chapmen
,
the
men
dyd
we●ue
and
spyn
within
the
house
,
and
ca●ye
burdens
on
their
heades
,
the
whyche
the
women
did
vse
to
heare
on
their
should●●s
,
the
m●n
did
make
●ryne
s●ttyng
,
but
the
women
●id
contrarye
.
They
did
disc●arge
their
bellyes
at
home
,
b●t
their
b●nkets
they
kepte
in
highe
wayes
,
they
moulded
br●●d
with
their
feet
,
and
stired
their
claye
with
their
●andes
.
They
dyd
vse
to
wryte
after
the
Hebrew
fashion
begynni●g
their
letters
on
the
right
hand
.
When
any
of
them
met
together
at
dyn●er
or
supper
,
before
they
departed
,
ther
came
in
one
that
broughte
a
picture
of
a
dead
man
,
vpon
a
staffe
made
of
wood
of
a
cubite
length
or
somewhat
more
,
and
shewed
it
to
euery
one
of
the
gestes
,
sayinge
:
behold
and
loke
vpon
this
,
drinke
and
be
refreshed
with
pleasure
,
for
such
one
shalt
thou
bee
after
thy
deathe
.
Their
lawes
were
suche
,
that
periured
men
lost
their
liues
,
as
thought
they
had
bene
giltye
of
two
offences
:
the
one
of
violating
pietye
towardes
God
,
the
other
of
breakinge
faythe
and
promise
amongest
men
,
which
is
the
surest
knot
of
humane
societie
.
If
any
traueyler
founde
anye
man
beaten
of
theues
and
would
not
help
him
if
he
could
he
shoulde
be
founde
culpable
of
death
,
if
he
were
not
able
to
helpe
him
,
hee
was
bounde
to
detect
the
theues
,
and
to
folow
the
action
against
theim
:
and
●e
that
did
neglect
to
do
this
,
was
punished
with
certayne
strypes
,
and
kepte
withoute
meate
for
three
dayes
.
If
anye
father
killed
his
sonne●
there
was
no
punishment
of
death
appointed
but
for
three
day●s
and
nights
concti●ually
he
was
commaunded
to
be
about
the
dead
bodye
,
for
they
thoughte
it
no
iust
thinge
to
take
away
lyfe
from
him
that
gaue
lyfe
to
his
chyldren
,
but
rathe●
that
he
shoulde
be
punished
with
continuall
payne
and
repentance
of
his
fact
,
that
others
might
feare
to
do
the
lyke
.
Parricides
they
●aused
to
be
burned
vppon
an
heape
of
thornes
,
and
such
as
vttred
any
secrets
to
their
enemies
,
thei
caused
their
tongues
to
be
cut
out
.
And
they
that
dyd
counterfayte
or
clyp
mony
had
both
their
handes
cut
of
so
that
with
what
parte
of
the
body
the
offence
was
made
,
with
the
same
he
shoulde
tolerate
punishment
.
If
anye
had
violated
a
free
woman
,
his
naturall
partes
were
cutte
of
,
because
in
one
fault
hee
committed
three
haynous
thynges
,
that
is
an
iniurye
,
corruption
and
confusion
of
chyldren
.
He
that
was
taken
in
voluntarye
adultrye
hadd
a
thousande
●●ripes
with
roddes
,
and
the
woman
was
mangled
vpon
the
nose
.
The
prie●ts
could
haue
but
one
wyfe
,
but
the
laytye
as
many
as
they
could
kepe
.
The
bringing
vppe
of
their
children
was
with
small
coste
,
for
it
came
not
vnto
the
charge
of
twentie
gr●ates
the
〈◊〉
education
to
their
full
●ge
,
and
this
is
not
to
be●
m●rueyled
at
,
because
Egipte
is
a
hote
countrie
,
and
therfore
they
lyue
naked
without
anye
kinde
of
garmente
,
and
they
feede
vpon
rotes
,
the
which
they
eat
somtimes
rawe
,
and
somtymes
rosted
,
in
imbers
.
The
priests
did
teach
their
children
especiallye
Geomatrie
,
and
Arythmeticke
.
They
did
driue
away
sicknes
eyther
with
fasting
or
with
vomit
,
the
whiche
they
vsed
euerye
thirde
daye
.
Theyr
opinion
was
that
all
diseases
came
of
superfluitie
of
meates
,
and
therfore
that
to
bee
the
best
cure
,
whyche
toke

Of

THE
Oystridge
found
especially
in
Africa
,
his
heade
is
couered
withe
smal
heares
,
his
eyes
be
grosse
and
blacke
,
his

is
long

his

,
his
feete
hath
as
it
were
a

Plinie
fayth
that
he
exceedeth
the
●right
of
a
man
on
●orsebacke
,
&
that
his
winges
helpe
him
little
.
But
with
his
nayles
whiche
are
like
hoofes
,
he
taketh
stones
and
throwethe
againste
those
whiche
persecute
him
:
he
doothe
digeste
whatsoeuer
hee
deuoureth
bee
it
neuer
so
harde
.
He
is
of
a
meruaylous
folishnes
,
for
if
he
hath
once
hidden
his
head
vnder
a
bushe
he
thinketh
him selfe
safe
and
not
to
be
seene
.
It
is
sayd
to
be
a
simple
and
forgetful
thinge
,
&
that
as
sone
as
it
hath
brought
forte
eggs
,
it
forgetteth
theym
,
vntil
the
yong
commeth
forthe
,
whiche
is
thoughte
to
bee
easlye
done
,
because
they
leaue
the
eggs
in

,
so
that
the

sone

hatched
,
the
whiche
the

do
feede
and
cherishe
when
they
are
brought
forth

When
hee
seeth
that
hee
cannot
auoyde
takinge
,
he
casteth
stones
against
his

,
and
manye
tymes
hurteth
them

His

Of

Cathay
.
THe
Empyre
of
Cathay
is
ruled
by
the
great
Cham.
With
this
nacion
one
man
may
haue
many
wiues
,
&
when
the
husband
dyeth
,
euery
wyfe
pledeth
her
owne
cause
before
the
iudges
,
&
sheweth
her
merits
,
so
that
which
of
them
so
euer
is
adiudged
to
haue
bene
the
most
officiouse
and
dearest
wife
to
her
husband
,
shee
in
her
best
apparell
and
with
all
her
iewels
,
as
though
she
had
gotten
the
victorie
of
the
other
,
goeth
willynglye
and
merelye
vnto
the
heape
of
wood
wher
her
husband
shall
be
burnt
,
and
lyinge
down
by
his
carcasse
and
embracinge
it
the
fier
is
kindled
,
and
so
shee
is
burnte
with
her
husband
:
the
other
of
his
wiues
after
this
liue
in
greate
shame
and
obloquye
.
They
matche
not
together
for
wealth
or
nobilitye
,
but
for
excellencye
of
beauty
and
procreacion
sake
.
The
people
of
Cathay
haue
this
opinion
that
they
thinke
no
other
nacion
to
see
with
both
eyes
but
them selues
,
they
are
perswaded
also
that
they
excell
all
other
in
subtilitye
of
artes
and
scyences
.
It
is
a
whyte
kynde
of
people
,
withoute
beardes
,
of
small
eyes
,
and
lackinge
true
pietie
and
due
obeysance
to
God
:
for
some
of
them
worshyp
the
Sonne
,
some
the
moone
,
others
certayne
immages
of
mettalls
,
and
other
some
an
oxe
,
so
that
they
be
full
of
monstruous
supersticion
.
The
Emperour
keepeth
his
court
at
his
citye
called
Cambalu
,
whiche
is
the
noblest
marte
in
that
part
of
the
world
,
for
there
is
almost
neuer
a
day
through
out
the
yeare
,
but
that
a
thousand
carte
lodes
of
silke
almoste
are
chaunged
and
broughte
there
amongest
marchants
.
The
Emperour
kepeth
in
his
court
twelue
thowsand
horsemen
to
kepe
his
bodye
.
Their
order
of
watchinge
is
thus
.
One
captain
with
three
thousand
gardeth
the
king
within
the
Palace
for
thre
dayes
,
and
so
dothe
another
,
other
three
dayes
following
,
&
thus
they
keepe
their
courses
.
When
the
Emperoure
sittethe
downe
to
meate
,
hee
hath
his
principall
and
greatest
quene
on
his
left
hand
,
and
his
children
whiche
be
of
royall
bloud
on
his

in
a

No

that
sitteth
downe

,
drinketh
or
is
serued
in
anye

that
serue
the

at

couer
their

with

,
least
they
shoulde
breath
vpon
the

,
and
when
the
Emperour
taketh
the
pot
to
drincke
,
all
the
musicians
beginne
to
make
great
melodye
,
and

Of

THE
Canniballs
are
wylde
people
feeding
vpon
mans
fleshe
which
is
a
very
swete
kinde
of
flesh
.
If
they
get
or
fynd
any
chyldren
within
the
age
of
fourtene
yeares
,
they
feede
them
&
cramme
them
as
we
do
Capons
,
but
those
whych
are
beyonde
fourtene
yeares
of
age
,
they
kill
them
out
of
hande
,
deuouringe
theyr
whot
guts
immediatly
,
and
the
other
partes
of
their
bodies
they
salt
and
lay
vp
as
wee
do
powdred
fleshe
,
they
eate
no
women
but
kepe
them
only
for
the
bearinge
of
children
,
as
we
do
hennes
for
eggs
.
If
any
for
age
is
past
child
bearinge
,
shee
doth
all
drudgery
like
vnto
a
bond
woman
they
haue
no
houses
,
but
they
erect
many
trees
together
,
and
so
combine
them
in
the
top
that
it
serueth
for
lodginge
.
Their
beds
be
made
of
silke
and
haye
,
they
haue
no
yron
,
but
they
vse
bones
instede
of

they

Herodotus

that

The

sheweth
clemencye

spareth

His
tayle
is
a
note

Of

THere

and
because
they
are
neare
vnto
the
Nigrites
,
they
feede
sometimes
vpon
diuers
kinde
of
pulse
,
they
bee
no
greate
feeders
,
for
the
scarcitie
of
victualls
maketh
them
to
suffer
and
tolerate
much
famin
.
The
Portugalls
vse
marchaundise
with
them
in
these
our
days
.
They
couer
their
heades
with
a
linnen
roller
,
wherof
one
parte
hangeth
downe
by
the
foreheade
,
so
that
they
couer
all
their
mouthe
there
withe
.
For
they
are
almoste
as
muche
ashamed
to
shewe
their
mouthes
as
their
priuye
partes
,
&
therefore
they
keepe
their
mouthes
close
neuer
opening
them
excepte
it
be
to
take
meate
,
and
that
because
they
woulde
not
let
any
fylthye
ayre
and
vapoure
to
slippe
out
there
by
.
They
do
greatly
esteeme

suche
as
haue

Within
this
countrye
the
traueyle
of
sixe
dayes
Iourney
wil
bring
a
man
to
a
place
called
Tagaza
,
frome
whence
is
brought
muche
plenty
of
Salte
the
whyche
is
caryed
awaye
vpon
Camels
backs
into
diuerse
places
and
especiallye
to
the
kingdome
called
Melli.
The
people
called
Mellitae
bee
some
what
beyonde
the
Equinoctiall
and
haue
moste
feruent
heates
,
and
therfore
at
certayne
tymes
in
the
yeare
their
bloudde
is
infected
,
so
that
if
they
had
no
remedy
by
salte
,
they
coulde
not
lyue
by
any
meanes
,
their
salte
is
deuided
into
such
lumps
,
that
one
salt
stone
is
ynoughe
to
be
borne
vpon
one
mannes
shoulders
.
But
when
they
come
to
the
countrye
called
Melli
,
they
lode
one
Camel
with
two
salte
stones
,
as
for
the
po●rer
sort
that
are
not
able
to
haue
Camels
they
cary
theyr
salt
vpon
their
shoulders
and
some
vppon
their
heades
,
and
that
in
suche
a
company
,
that
they
seeme
almost
in
multitude
,
lyke
vnto
an
army
of
men
.
This
salte
they
bring
vnto
a
great
water
where
euery
one
dischargeth
his
burden
of
salte
vppon
the
land
,
and
maketh
gre●te
hylls
therof
,
leauing
a
certayne
signe
for
the
true
knowledge
of
euerye
manns
he●pe
,
this
done
they
departe
:
and
then
●ommethe
the
Nigrites
who
will
not
bee
knowen
,
nor
yet
talke
with
any
other
kynde
of
people
,
they
come
neare
withe
their
●hips
,
and
where
they
see
and
perceiue
the
he●pes
of
salte
,
they
laye
greate
store
of
Golde
nighe
vnto
euery
heape
of
Salte
,
euen
as
they
thinke
it
conuenient
for
the
marchandize
,
and
agreable
to
equitie
for
the
eschaunge
,
and
then
they
departe
leaninge
the
golde
and
salte
together
.
The
Nigrites
which
went
a
far
of
return
agayne
,
and
euerye
one
looketh
vpon
hys
owne
heape
,
and
yf
the
gold
that
was
left
by
it
pleaseth
him
,
and
seemeth
sufficient
for
the
eschaunge
,
then
he
taketh
the
sayd
golde
awaye
,
leauing
the
salt
behind
him
and
not
mindinge
to
returne
againe
.
If
the
heape
of
golde
doothe
not
seeme
vnto
them
sufficiente
for
the
eschaunge
of
the
heape
of
salte
,
then
they
leaue
both
still
,
and
depart
agayne
into
some
secret
place
mindinge
to
come
againe
within
a
little
after
.
But
those
Nigrites
whiche
cannot
abyde
to
be
knowen
,
come
agayne
to
the
sayde
place
,
and
take
away
suche
heapes
of
salte
as
they
see
the
golde
to
bee
taken
from
,
or
els
they
adde
a
little
more
golde
to
the
heape
that
was
left
before
,
or
other
wise
they
carrye
awaie
their
Golde
,
leauinge
the
salte
stil
if
the
bargayne
please
not
theim
.
And
this
doo
thei
vse
their
marchandise
,
so
that
the
one
seeth
not
another
,
and
that
by
an
olde
custome
.
It
is
a
great
labour
with
these
Nigrites
to
carry
their
salte
vpon
their
shoulders
because
they
lacke
all
manner
beastes
,
meete
for
that
carryage
almost
,
the
whyche
commeth
throughe
the
v●fruitfulne●
of
the
earth
,
for
they
haue
very
litle
store
of
Gra●●e
,
and
that
whiche
they
haue
,
is
pestilence
also
,
and
therefore
they
daylye
●rinke
water
,
wherin
a
little
Salt
hathe
bene
resolued
,
and
this
is
their
greateste
remedye
and
moste
especiall
medecine
.
They
neuer
haue
no
raine
but
in
August
September
,
and
October
.
But
these
men
that
come
after
this
sort
and
eschaunge
Golde
for
salte
,
withoute
anie
talke
of
bargain
or
sale
,
are
thought
to
bee
meruailouse
blacke
,
hauing
their
lower
lippe
hanging
downe
to
the
breas●
somewhat
redde
,
and
within
excoriate

so

for
this
cause
all
their
teeth
maye
be
seene
,
whiche
are
a
greate

bigger
then

their

are
also
thought
to
putrifie
