FOr
want
of
a
costly
and
precious
Iewel
,
haue
here
offered
to
you
this
base
gyfte
:
The
discriptyon
of
Aphrique
(
my
good
lorde
)
though
not
so
good
as
is
wylled
,
nor
so
excellent
as
is
wyshed
.
Yet
mooste
humbly
besechynge
you
to
take
it
in
good
parte
.
It
is
sayd
the
minde
of
gyftes
is
best
:
For
in
the
gyftes
of
frendes
,
the
value
of
the
thinges
whiche
be
presented
,
be
not
to
be
considred
,
but
the
good
wyl
of
the
presenter
.
That
worthy
Kynge
Xerxes
receyued
thanfully
of
a
certeyne
stranger
a
handful
of
water
,
And
Chryst
also
accepted
the
wydowes
two
farthynges
,
and
preferred
theym
before
other
greate
and
ryche
offeringes
:
So
I
trust
you
wyll
this
my
rude
and
homely
present
,
and
wey
in
an
equal
peyre
of
balans
my
good
wyl
towardes
your
Lordeshyp
,
for
to
my
power
I
haue
done
,
and
as
farre
as
my
capacytie
wolde
reache
,
as
well
in
the
translation
as
other
wayes
,
I
haue
wrytten
,
In
magnis
et
voluisse
sat
est
.
In
greater
thynges
whiche
might
passe
my
simple
capacitie
it
is
sufficient
for
me
to
haue
willed
,
wyl
otherwhiles
especially
in
those
thinges
which
might
passe
a
mans
power
,
doth
merite
comendacions
although
his
enterprise
take
no
effect
.
To
my
purpose
.
Now
seynge
that
the
end
or
extinct
of
my
longe
wyshe
is
fynyshed
,
I
can
not
but
hyghly
laude
God
therfore
,
so
ioyfull
is
your
Lordeshyps
prosperus
successe
vnto
me
,
as
the
fortunate
hour
is
of
the
traueling
woman
in
the
delyuerance
of
her
chyld
,
your
longe
aduersitie
was
not
so
lamentable
,
but
your
prosperitie
is
as
ioyful
.
Trulye
as
often
as
I
perpende
and
wey
with
my selfe
the
depnes
of
your
aduersities
causeth
me
to
wonder
,
consyderynge
how
that
you
haue
ben
tossed
in
the
waues
of
the
sea
,
in
stormes
,
tempests
,
and
in
extreme
peryls
,
yea
,
amongest
(
if
I
myght
so
say
)
deuouring
Lions
,
and
yet
to
se
how
god
hath
preserued
your
good
Lordeshippe
:
what
may
I
say
.
shal
I
ascrybe
it
to
dame
Fortune
,
as
the
poites
did
in
olde
time
,
and
render
vp
thankes
to
her
?
No
certeinly
,
I
shal
thanke
the
myghty
Lorde
aboue
,
the
preseruer
of
his
electe
.
I
do
fully
perswade
with
my selfe
that
god
hath
chosen
you
,
and
preserued
you
,
to
the
ende
that
you
shulde
be
hereafter
,
(
when
it
shall
please
oure
vertuous
Quene
to
call
you
)
a
worthy
counceller
,
a
preseruer
of
the
publike
weale
,
&
a
fortherer
of
her
good
&
godli
laws
:
for
god
hath
endowed
you
with
a
mooste
precious
gyfte
,
and
hath
gyuen
you
a
great
talent
and
wel
worthy
.
For
that
you
dayly
augment
and
encrease
it
.
Howe
can
a
man
but
wonder
(
thoughe
that
the
giftes
of
God
be
not
to
be
marueiled
at
)
as
often
as
he
shal
conceaue
with
hym selfe
the
course
of
your
lyfe
togethers
,
with
your
education
.
I
meane
your
longe
imprisonment
,
in
suche
a
desert
place
,
where
in
a
maner
neyther
siuilitie
,
nor
wysedome
was
to
be
learned
,
yet
to
beholde
your
state
and
study
howe
that
you
haue
applied
youre
mynde
to
good
letters
,
as
well
to
the
Romains
as
to
the
french
,
Italion
,
and
Spanysh
besides
al
these
I
can
not
so
easely
expresse
as
conceaue
the
nomber
of
other
vertues
and
qualyties
▪
which
raine
in
you
,
what
condinge
prayse
dothe
that
chylde
deserue
,
which
with
out
a
nourse
doth
fede
him selfe
with
the
swete
pappe
of
learnynge
?
Euen
so
howe
much
is
your
Lordship
worthy
of
lawde
,
who
without
tutors
but
of
and
by
your
owne
industry
and
labour
,
haue
atteyned
to
this
perfection
of
learnynge
,
what
pregnant
wyt
is
this
,
it
is
easely
deserued
,
howe
well
you
haue
folowed
the
peynters
lyne
,
here
may
we
se
nulla
preterit
sine
linea
dies
so
haue
you
let
no
day
escape
without
drawynge
of
a
profitable
lyne
,
as
you
haue
begon
so
procede
,
and
euery
day
drawe
a
lyne
to
the
profyte
of
your
good
lady
and
quene
aduauncement
of
her
honour
,
and
the
common
weales
,
so
in
studyeng
,
with
god
you
shall
be
reteyned
,
and
of
the
people
beloued
.
For
yf
the
late
offenders
had
bestowed
their
wittes
and
emploied
their
knowlege
to
the
seruice
of
theyr
Quene
and
mystres
,
God
wolde
haue
prospered
them
,
but
seynge
they
dyd
contrary
,
he
shortened
not
onely
theyr
most
nequitious
and
wycked
purpose
,
but
also
punysshed
some
of
theym
accordyng
to
theyr
desertes
.
Truely
it
was
a
Goodely
myrroure
and
glasse
,
for
all
nobles
to
loke
in
,
exhortyng
your
Lordeship
to
beholde
both
theyr
beginnynge
and
theyr
endes
.
what
was
the
distruction
of
the
countrey
of
Caria
,
which
once
was
suche
a
plentyfull
contrey
as
ours
hath
ben
and
wyl
be
ageyne
,
nowe
we
haue
so
vertuous
a
quene
,
and
noble
councel
,
who
studyeth
dayly
and
trauaileth
hourly
to
bryng
in
plenty
,
but
only
the
lybertie
of
a
multytude
?
This
vnlawfull
lybertie
is
called
Anarchie
,
a
myschyefe
truly
as
euyll
as
any
tyranny
,
I
wold
al
men
wold
haue
in
remembraunce
this
godly
sayeng
,
Nosce
te
ipsum
,
Plato
discrybeth
this
diuyne
sentens
to
god
Appollo
,
but
truly
I
wyll
discribe
it
to
all
men
,
and
wolde
councel
them
to
lay
the
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
,
to
remember
their
beginning
,
theyr
byrth
present
state
,
and
end
,
So
wolde
I
wishe
that
your
lordshyppe
wolde
beare
in
memorye
,
your
former
aduersities
with
the
goodnes
of
God
extended
vpon
you
,
in
delyuerynge
you
out
of
the
handes
of
all
your
enemyes
,
haue
a
respect
to
the
poore
,
gyue
attentyue
eare
to
theyr
peticions
,
feade
them
which
honger
,
and
gyue
theym
to
drynke
which
thyrst
,
and
cheryshe
your
poore
seruantes
,
for
to
what
prayse
with
god
,
loue
with
the
people
,
honour
to
the
renome
doth
the
noble
man
ateyne
to
?
which
in
time
of
his
auctoritie
and
lyfe
preferreth
and
aduaunceth
his
pore
seruauntes
,
percontra
in
how
much
displeasure
with
God
,
hate
with
people
,
distruction
of
his
honour
,
and
into
other
infinit
dangers
doth
he
incur
in
whose
seruyce
his
poore
seruantes
do
not
floryshe
but
decay
.
I
cannot
but
lament
so
often
as
I
call
to
memory
the
lamentacions
of
dyuers
of
the
late
dukes
seruantes
the
which
(
as
they
sayd
)
be
vtterli
brought
to
ruine
and
extreme
pouertie
by
seruynge
of
him
,
wheras
they
trusted
to
haue
floryshed
,
yea
some
of
them
cursyng
him
,
and
wyshed
that
they
had
neuer
seene
his
head
.
Alas
alas
what
ouersyght
was
it
,
when
that
in
his
chyfe
and
freshe
dignitie
he
myght
haue
aduaunced
them
whiche
toke
peynes
and
spent
theyr
substans
to
do
him
honour
.
Truly
eyther
couetousnes
surmounted
him
,
or
els
vnderstandynge
fayled
him
.
We
haue
one
worthy
Byshoppe
in
this
realme
,
which
hath
purchased
him selfe
perpetuall
honour
and
prayse
,
as
well
for
his
conuenient
hospitalitie
,
as
for
preferrynge
of
his
seruauntes
,
whose
doyenge
be
notable
,
a
clere
myrrour
for
all
the
reste
of
nobles
to
beholde
,
trustyng
your
lordship
wyl
folow
his
steppes
,
and
lay
his
actes
before
your
eyes
as
a
glasse
to
loke
in
,
so
in
doenge
,
I
knowe
god
wyl
(
as
he
hath
al
redy
)
cause
the
people
to
loue
you
,
gyue
you
long
lyfe
:
with
prosperous
successe
and
your
fatall
ende
honorable
.
I
shall
not
neade
(
my
good
Lorde
)
to
be
tedious
in
rehersing
of
many
of
these
examples
,
for
that
I
know
your
singuler
wysdome
hath
atteined
to
a
farder
knowledge
of
them
then
I
am
able
to
declare
or
shew
,
but
to
the
entente
that
other
maye
therby
be
admonished
,
so
by
councell
may
folowe
the
steppes
which
leade
them
to
vertue
and
goodnes
.
I
haue
enterprised
(
honorable
lord
to
translate
into
Englyshe
Aphrique
,
Asie
.
and
Europia
,
the
.iii.
parts
of
the
worlde
,
and
for
asmuche
as
the
hole
volume
is
great
,
and
hauyng
smal
tyme
,
and
leysure
granted
to
me
,
wolde
be
loth
notwithstandyng
this
fyrst
part
shulde
be
hindred
in
the
impression
,
thought
it
good
not
onely
to
dedicate
this
to
your
Lordshyp
,
but
also
for
the
fruite
I
perceaue
in
the
hole
worke
to
th
ende
that
the
reader
shulde
sauour
the
residue
,
haue
therfore
both
set
forth
the
hole
table
&
a
prologe
,
trustynge
that
he
wyll
couet
the
other
two
partes
.
And
bycause
I
owe
to
my
lorde
of
Darbie
for
his
many
and
manyfold
plesures
done
for
me
,
a
great
some
,
I
pretend
in
one
part
of
payment
to
presente
to
him
the
discription
of
Asie
,
or
Lacie
the
seconde
parte
,
beynge
also
greatly
in
daunger
to
my
good
mistres
Clarentius
for
her
sondrye
trauayles
for
me
,
haue
appoynted
the
last
part
of
Europia
to
her
mystreship
.
These
two
laste
with
expedicion
I
wyl
endeuour
my selfe
to
end
In
the
meane
season
,
I
shal
most
humbly
beseche
your
Lordeshyp
to
accept
this
in
good
worthe
and
the
faultes
therein
,
do
impute
to
ignorans
,
partely
for
want
of
tyme
,
besydes
al
this
to
consyder
my
pore
estate
,
longe
tyme
absent
absent
from
my
studies
,
and
the
beginnyng
of
my
enterpryses
,
being
the
first
that
euer
I
translated
out
of
the
frenche
tonge
,
and
to
my
simple
iudgement
(
the
obscuritie
of
the
sentences
considred
)
neyther
is
the
translation
out
of
latin
,
Italion
,
or
Spanyshe
,
so
difficile
and
hard
,
as
the
translation
of
french
into
Englyshe
.
To
conclude
in
token
of
a
Newyeres
gyft
I
do
here
exhibit
vnto
your
Lordship
this
discription
of
Aphrique
.
A
gyft
I
graunt
not
so
gret
as
is
owed
,
nor
so
good
as
is
wyshed
,
(
as
before
I
sayde
)
yet
where
office
and
loue
oweth
much
and
wyll
wolde
paye
all
,
thoughe
power
drawethe
backe
not
able
to
discharge
either
loues
dette
,
or
acquite
all
that
wyll
wolde
,
yet
by
the
vewe
of
any
reasonable
iudge
the
yelde
of
th
one
,
and
the
bente
of
thother
,
ought
with
the
creditour
to
supply
the
thyrdes
defect
.
The
cause
occurrynge
lyke
in
me
,
be
it
lawfull
to
vse
such
a
shyft
,
not
onely
to
excuse
my
small
habilitie
exhibytynge
so
small
tribute
of
so
much
as
is
owed
and
wylled
,
but
also
to
grate
at
your
Lordeshyps
handes
,
notwithstandynge
acceptacion
therof
as
of
a
sufficient
monumente
of
loues
dette
,
and
token
of
wylles
wyshe
,
how
so
euer
malyngne
power
shall
temper
the
same
in
the
vtteraune●
.
Thus
I
commende
your
Lordeshyppe
to
God
.
The
prologue

the
Readar

bestowed
the
houres
of
leysure
in
accumulating
the
fassyons
mooste
worthy
of
memory
together
with
the
pertyculer
obseruacyons
and
lawes
of
dyuerse
people
,
in

that
the
fathers
of

in

I
haue
made
a
lyttle
abridgement
or
abstract
,
not
in
hope
of
any
lucour
or

but
prouoked

of

:
hauynge

free
leysure
,
to
imploye

with
the
fruitefull

and
delectacion
whiche
I
haue
noted
in
the
whole
worke
by
me
encerprised
.
And
yf

wylt
vnderstand
(
O
gentyl
reder

the
histories

of

knowledge
of

whiche
I

aswell

as
also
the
ancient
examples
both
good
and
euil
seruynge
to
this
purpose
,
to
the
ende
that
they
maye
presente
vnto
the
thinges

and
of
honor
as

discretion
to
shonne

,
therein
thou
shalt
se
the
magnificens
and
felicitie
of

and

lyfe
of

Againe

In

All

the
waters
commen
so
that
they
were
not
couetous
of
any
honoure
or
ryches
,
hauynge
that
,
contented
them selues
,
to
pase
theyr
lyfe
in
playne
fielde
,
vncouered
,
or
vnder
the
shadow
of
some
tree
,
or
coueryng
of
an

,
with
one

many
women
and
the
whole
lynage
,
without
al
feare
and
solicitude
,
onely
contentyng
them selues
with
the
thinges
,
which
the
earth
brought
forth
,
with
the
mylke
of
the
beastes
,
and
for
theyr
drynke
water
sufficed
.
Fyrst
for
theyr
apparel
toke
the
large
leaues
of
trees
but
a
lyttel
after
,
the
world
began
to
inuent
the
wayes
to
cloth
theim
with
the
skinnes
of
bestes
,
one
lyke
vnto
the
other
.
Man
created
was
so
lyttle
carefull
to
be
in
suertye
,
that
he
did
not
passe
or
desyre
to
be
loked
vp
in
walled
Cities
,
or
in
for
treses
,
made
with
stronge
rampers
but
wandred
and
strayed
abrode
lyke
other
beastes
,
and
had
no
certeine
place
to
take
his
rest
,
but
beinge
in
the
fielde
rested
hym
.
To
whom
when
that
the
night
approched
,
was
in
greate
tranquylytie
without
feare
of
theues
or
robbers
yet
at
the
last
beinge
compelled
to
do
the
contrary
by
such
lyke
chaunces
,
by
succession
of
tyme
that
the
worlde
might
encrease
and
multiplye
,
whiche
the
enuey
and
dyuersitie
of
their
wiles
was
the
cause
of
the
varietie
,
and
chaunge
of
the
humayne
inclinations
,
agayne
without
the
industry
and
labour
of
man
the
fruites
whiche
came
from
the
earth
,
was
not
sufficient
to
norishe
them
,
that
lyued
then
,
prouoked
them
to
exercyse
one
with
an
other
and
by
the
aboue
sayde
Calamyties
they
were
so
greatly
weryed
with
trauayles
that
they
folowed
the
coures
of
wylde
beastes
,
wherfore
the
humayne
creatures
by
lyttle
&
lyttle
accompanyenge
togethers
,
consultede
,
by
a
commen
seecours
and
ayde
to
expulse
such
euyl
courses
and
hurtes
,
beganne
to
prepare
and
appoint
to
eueryone
of
theym
certeine
portions
of
grounde
,
vpon
the
which
they
buylded
lyttle
houses
,
and
made
perticions
of
theyr
landes
by
certeyne
limittes
,
in
so
much
that
by
little
and
lyttle
,
they
made
dyches
and
walles
,
and
at
the
last
there
was
appoynted
a
populaeir
estate
or
common
weal.
In
lykewyse
they
established
certeine
lawes
and
magestrates
,
by
whome
euery
man
shulde
be
ruled
.
In
so
muche
at
the
last
there
was
obserued
a
greate
concorde
and
peace
amongest
so
great
a
multytude
of
people
.
Sins
that
tyme
men
inuented
to
lyue
not
onely
by
the
fruites
and
noriture
which
the
erth
hir self
brought
forth
,
and
that
the
beastes
or
cattell
gaue
,
but
also
by
their
manye
and
sundry
industries
and
labours
by
theym
excogitated
,
and
founde
out
the
maner
to
make
the
shippes
to
ryde
vpon
the
seas
,
some
to
serue
for
marchaundyse
,
other
some
to
abyde
the
countreys
.
Also
some
inuented
the
cartes
with
horses
to
drawe
theym
,
and
after
that
they
began
to
haue
course
gold
and
syluer
,
then
was
the
aparel
of
men
more
sumptuous
,
theyr
language
adorned
with
eloquens
,
theyr
frequentacion
more
siuile
,
theyr
diete
more
delicate
,
their
building
more
larger
and
gorgious
,
in
fyne
the
morrall
creatures
in
continuaunce
of
tyme
,
were
altred
and
chaunged
as
well
from
theyr
condicions
,
as
from
theyr
barbarousnes
and
cruelnes
,
they
became
humayne
,
gentyl
,
and
gracious
,
that
at
the
laste
they
ruled
them selues
so
discretely
that
they
them selues
banyshed
all
their
inhumanitie
,
and
vnciuilitie
as
to
kyll
one
an
other
,
to
eate
the
fleshe
of
men
,
and
to
occupye
the
company
of
the
first
they
mete
without
discrecion
or
regarde
of
blud
or
kinred
,
with
such
lyke
vices
and
imperfections
.
After
they
had
tasted
of
this
euyll
order
,
and
atteyne
to
more
reson
by
theyr
trauaile
,
made
the
earth
fruteful
,
the
which
before
was
hydden
ouer
as
a
wylde
forest
,
vnhabited
and
moost
vnprofitable
for
man
.
They
remoued
away
the
great
stones
and
stubbes
of
trees
,
made
the
fayre
waters
&
sprynges
to
be
sought
for
,
in
the
marshe
places
.
This
they
did
and
all
to
make
it
plaine
,
and
to
cause
it
lose
his
old
and
auncient
forme
,
wheras
before
it
was
hilly
and
rude
.
In
so
vsyng
the
earth
,
at
the
last
brought
forth
wynes
and
other
encrease
aboundantly
,
the
whiche
before
did
yelde
them
but
a
lyttle
quantitie
of
wyldynges
&
crabs
.
Moreouer
by
the
infinite
gardens
&
arbors
,
whiche
they
did
set
rounde
about
the
fountains
&
springes
,
made
the
valeys
freshe
,
and
leste
the
hyghe
mountaynes
,
because
of
the
wodes
and
forestes
,
and
after
knewe
howe
to
order
the
grounde
to
brynge
forth
fruite
.
Ageyne
theyr
places
where
they
inhabited
at
the
first
were
little
,
but
hauyng
dwelt
there
a
time
from
smale
vyllages
became
great
Cyties
.
vpon
the
hygh
mountaines
they
buylded
townes
and
stronge
castels
,
&
in
the
valeyes
great
temples
and
churches
,
to
the
ende
that
the
fountaines
might
be
more
holsommer
and
delectable
.
they
were
richli
made
of
faire
cut
marbelstone
and
they
set
trees
al
about
to
giue
them
a
pleasaunt
shadowe
.
And
more
frome
the
sayde
welles
they
caused
waters
by
the
pipes
to
descende
and
come
into
theyr
Cyties
They
made
hauens
&
crekes
in
the
sea
to
harbor
the
ships
.
They
also
made
many
ryght
places
,
into
the
whiche
the
shyppes
myght
retyre
backe
without
daunger
of
windes
and
tempestes
At
the
end
they
had
so
appoyncted
al
thynges
as
well
in
the
sea
,
as
in
the
lande
,
which
yf
we
do
consider
the
state
present
and
after
what
it
was
afore
tyme
,
a
man
wolde
take
it
to
be
a
countrey
aboue
all
other
,
then
that
whiche
was
fyrst
created
,
and
wold
iudge
it
more
lyke
the
gardeyne
or
paradyse
out
of
the
whiche
oure
forefathers
Adam
and
Eue
was
drowen
for
the
transgression
of
the
heauenly
commaundement
then
other
wyse
.
Moreouer
the
people
inuented
many
artes
and
sciences
moste
wyttye
(
as
letters
and
tables
to
wryte
which
after
was
had
in
vse
,
they
be
oftentimes
exempted
from
the
condicion
of
the
mortalles
in
leuyng
memory
of
them
to
theyr
posteritie
which
made
participacions
of
theyr
inuentions
,
and
by
this
,
me
thynketh
that
the
mortall
men
myght
be
soner
called
some
earthly
gods
then
men
,
had
it
not
ben
for
that
malygne
Sathan
,
which
hath
by
a
most
pestilente
seade
sowen
in
the
worlde
,
brought
confusion
:
for
he
seynge
that
the
humayne
creatures
dyd
encrease
,
and
that
the
condicion
of
theyr
lyfe
passed
from
good
to
better
,
beynge
styrred
vp
by
an
enuy
hath
brought
theem
into
bondage
,
by
reason
of
theyr
sondry
and
manye
sins
and

committed

And
sins
the

there
came

Idolaters

There

betwene

At
these
presentes
,
there
be
no
nacions
whiche
do
obserue
the
Catholyke

That
cruel
enemie
of
mankinde
,
hath
so
stirred
him selfe
that
by
the
dyuersitie
of
religion
and
ceremonies
,
the

abouesayde
natyons
had
perticulerly
chosen

meinteined
to

folowed
such

,
amongest
men
that
they
which
haue
taken
great
iourneyes
into
far
contreys
haue
not
gone
in
saue
garde
.
In
so
much
the
men
them selues
haue
stopped
,
the
passage
to
come
to
the
perfecte
knowledge
of
dyuers
nations
,
whiche
doth
make
me
iudge
that
manye
there
be
that
beleue
all
that
is
wrytten
of
oure
purpose
to
be
but
fables
,
for
that
they
haue
not
skant
the
knowledge
of
the
people
and
nacions
which
be
nygh
to
them
.
I
meane
they
know
not
theyr
owne
neyghboures
,
as
those
regions
situated
next
to
theirs
and
all
is
for
not
hauynge
trauayled

We
do
se
that
the
knowledge
of
these
thinges
hath
ben
so
agreable
and
pleasaunt
to
many
,
that
it
hath
redowned
to
theyr
greate

As
it

that

yea
,
and
to

haue
taken
vppon

the
longe

dangerous
vyage
by

whereby
(
as
I
knowe
)
not
only
but
this
tyme
present
,
but
also
in
tyme
paste
,
in
a
maner
sins
the
worlde
began
,
most
comonly
they
haue
ben
in
great
credit
,
auctoritie
and
reputacion
,
and
made
gouernours
of

,
and
growen
to
be
councellers
,
Iudges
,
&
greate
capyteynes
or
chyefe
of

,
and
all
by
the
experiens
of
many
people
,
with
maner
of
theyr
vsages
and
lyuinges
,
and
longe
viages
in

.
Other
hath
atteined
to
so
great
knowledge
,
that
of
the
great
nombre
of
their
disciples
were
instructed
diuers
bends
of
the
Phylosophers
,
lyke
as
of
Socrates
were
called
Socrateques
,
thother
which
were
the

were
nominated
achademiques
Those

Peripathetiques
Those

,
those

were
called

,
Stoiques
,
of

,
Pithagoriques
.
And
if
we
loke
a
lyttle
nyer
,
we
shal
finde
that
they
which
haue
giuen
so
much
auctoritie
to
the
auncient
lawers
,
as
to
Minos
,
and
Rhadamantus
,
to

that
euery

might
be

and

Yf
these
men
had
kept
theyr
owne
contreys
this
had
not
ben
,
but
bycause
they
consumed
theyr
age
in
other
countreys
they
were
able
to
instructe
,
hauyng
afterward
the

knowledge
of
the
Caldes

Br●●●manes
Gimnosophistes

&
the

of

whiche
were
all
men
of
great
knowledge
,
and
of
a
most
excellent
naturall
wit
,
with
whome
they
hadde
frequented
a
certeyne
space
and

.
we
do
also
fynde
that
this
knowledge
hath
greatly
serued
the
excellent
personages
and
princes
in
the
olde
tyme
,
as

To

Seynge
then
the
knowledge
of
dyuers

,
is
greately
to
be
delited
in

profytable
,
I
shal
desyre

to
put
to

and
reade
ouer
the
thynges
conteyned
in

for
to
this
purpose
the

be
gathered
together

to
reduce
the

to
a
perfection
of
knowledge
bothe
of
the
countreys
and
the
nature
of

as
if
I
shuld
leade

an

from
one
region
to
an
other
,
or
to
poynte

I
haue
manifested
to
me
the
maner
of

of

as
of

how
they
were
inhabited
in

and
be

And
be
not
offended
with
me
(
gentyll

for
want
of
austeritie
.
In
that
I
haue
not
holly
satisfied
thy
appetite
as
peraduenture
thou
desyrest
,
I
haue
done
it
rather
to
chalenge
vnto
my selfe
rebuke

then
praise
,
yet
I
haue
wrytten
neyther

THE
TREWE
OPINIon
of
the
diuine
wryters
touchyng
the
Original
of
Man
.
The
fyrst
Chapiter
.
AFter
that
the
diuine
maiestie
of
God
had
finished
the
creation
of
the
heauens
,
and
vniuersal
frame
the
whiche
for
his
ornament
and
most
comely
composicion
,
was
called
Mundus
,
together
with
al
thynges
conteyned
in
the
Cyrcuite
of
the
same
at
the
fyfthe
day
of
his
creacion
.
vpon
the
syxt
daye
the
mooste
noble
creature
called
Man
was
made
,
for
to
be
lord
ouer
the
thinges
aboue
mencioned
,
Leauyng
to
him
the
vse
and
pleasures
of
them
.
Of
al
other
creatures
,
he
was
only
endued
with
celestiall
wysedome
,
and
had
the
name
of
Adam
gyuen
vnto
him
,
because
he
was
made
of
a
veyne
of
red
earth
.
A
whyle
after
was
gyuen
to
him
a
company
keper
,
to
the
entente
that
solitarines
shulde
not
anoy
him
.
The
woman
which
was
made
of
his
rybbe
.
They
were
set
in
the
moost
delectable
place
of
the
worlde
,
beynge
compassed
with
fayre
ryuers
,
that
place
was
replenished
with
yonge
sprynges
,
trees
,
herbes
,
and
flowers
,
wonderfull
pleasaunt
and
delectable
to
behold
,
and
for
that
cause
it
was
called
Paradyse
by
a
greeke
terme
.
These
two
persons
for
a
space
led
a
most
happy
lyfe
,
and
without
feelynge
of
yll
,
for
the
earthe
of
her selfe
brought
forth
al
fruites
at
desyre
.
Notwithstandynge
,
for
breaking
the
commaundementes
of
God
,
they
were
dryuen
to
forsake
that
place
,
after
that
the
earth
was
acursed
,
whereby
she
brought
nothynge
forth
accordynge
to
her
former
fertillitie
.
They
were
constrayned
to
seke
theyr
lyuyng
with
swet
and
laboure
,
then
raygned
all
kyndes
of
syckenesse

felynge
of

heate
vppon
the
humayne
bodyes
,
Cain
was
the
fyrst
begotten
chylde
of

,
and
Abel
was
the
second
,
and
after
them
many
more
,
and
so
encreased
the
world
and
the
earth
was
well
inhabyted
.
The
more
the
nomber
of
men
multiplied
the
more
did
they
encrease
in
vyce
,
and
theyr
lyuynge
dyd
dayly
waxe
from
il
to
worse
.
In
steade
of
good
doinge
to
theyr
neyghbours
,
they
began
to
annoy
and
hurt
one
an
other
,
and
in
steade
of
acknowlegynge
of
the
creatour
,
they
had
in
contempte
the
goodnes
of
God
,
from
that
tyme
continued
and
encreased
the
wyckednes
of
men
,
in
such
sort
that
God
therefore
after
he
hadde
found
one
iust
man
which
was
called
Noe
,
for
whose
cause
he
saued
all
his
famyly

sent

drowned

Into

The
sodayne
and
short
departure
from
his
kindred
(
who
had
not
yet
learned
neyther
the
lyuyng
ne
maners
of
their
parentes
)
was
the
cause
of
al
the
dyuersitie
that
syns
folowed
.
In
so
muche
that
Cham
(
who
dyd
flee
for
the
shame
done
to
his
father
,
)
remayned
he
,
his
wyfe
,
and
chyldren
,
in
those
partes
of
Arabie
,
&
synce
called
by
his
name
Cain
,
who
neuer
gaue
to
his
posteritie
any
preceptes
of
religion
,
in
so
muche
that
he
trauailed
not
to
learne
any
.
where
vpon
it
came
to
passe
by
succession
of
tyme
,
the
one
sente
after
the
other
out
of
one
lande
to
inhabyte
an
other
.
After
hauynge
occupied
many
countreys
in
the
world
for
this
skattered
lygnage
multyplyed
meruelously
,
fynally
they
fel
into
most
execrable
errours
,
out
of
the
whiche
they
colde
not
vnwrap
themselues
,
theyr
language
chanched
,
and
it
was
not
to
be
vnderstande
or
intelligeble
,
the
trew
worshyppynge
and
knowledgynge
of
God
was
out
of
remembrance
.
So
men
haue
lyued
after
suche
a
strange
sort
that
one
can
not
wel
deserne
the
lyuing
betwene
the
bests
and
them
.
They
whiche
do
passe
Egipt
for
the
admiracion
they
had
of
the
celestiall
creatures
,
beganne
to
worshyp
as
gods
the
sonne
,
and
the
mone
,
callynge
the
son
Osyris
,
and
the
moone
Isis
.
They
attributed
godlynes
to
respiracion
,
by
the
whiche
all
men
do
lyue
,
vnder
the
name
of
Iupiter
,
to
the
element
of
fyre
,
vnder
the
name
of
Vulcaine
,
to
the
ayre
,
vnder
the
name
of
Pallas
,
to
the
earth
,
vnder
the
name
of
Seres
,
and
to
dyuers
other
creatures
,
vnder
▪
many
other
names
.
And
they
of
Egypt
do
not
onely
thus
walke
in
darkenes
,
but
also
in
the
countreys
possessed
by
them
,
whiche
be
descended
from
Cham
,
haue
ben
subiett
to
execrable
bondage
,
and
ignorance
of
the
trew
religion
.
Moreouer
there
was
neuer
countrey
that
the
people
were
so
fertyll
to
brynge
forthe
chyldren
,
nor
better
merytynge
the
name
of
a
mother
for
this
respect
,
then
this
part
of
Arabie
,
which
the
said
Cham
with
his
occupied
.
Suche
and
so
greate
a
ruyne
was
brought
to
man
kynde
,
the
banyesh
mente
of
that
onely
personage
,
to
the
contrary
,
S●m
,
and
Iaphet
,
with
all
theyr
stocke
,
who
were
instituted
&
appoynted
by
theyr
fathers
in
certeyne
lawe
,
were
contented
with
small
possessions
,
and
therfore
they
were
not
so
largely
disparsed
thorowe
out
the
hole
worlde
as
the
other
.
Then
it
came
to
passe
,
that
the
loue
of
the
truth
(
that
is
to
say
the
true
hollynes
and
adoration
of
the
ryght
God
)
dyd
remayne
hyd
in
one
onely
nacion
,
vntyll
the
commynge
of
Messias
.
he
false
opinion
of
the
Etheniques
and
Infydels
,
touchynge
the
Originall
of
man
.
Chapi
,
ii
.
THe
Phylosophers
in
tyme
past
without
any
knowledge
of
the
trewe
Godde
,
of
longe
tyme
dyd
speake
of
naturall
thynges
.
Some
of
them
beleaued
that
the
worlde
was
a
thynge
not
created
,
and
incorruptyble
,
and
that
mankynde
was
without
takynge
beginning
.
The
other
ageyne
iudged
,
that
the
worlde
was
created
and
subiecte
to
corruption
,
and
that
men
were
created
by
succession
of
tyme
.
To
confyrme
this
opinion
they
sayde
,
before
any
thynge
had
his
begynnynge
,
heauen
and
earthe
had
one
onely
forme
,
and
that
the
propriete
of
these
two
thinges
was
confuse
that
synce
these
two
elementes
seperated
one
from
the
other
whervpon
suche
disposition
and
forme
of
the
worlde
,
that
we
perceyue
the
eyre
in
contynuall
agitacion
,
and
that
of
him
,
the
part
of
the
fyer
had
gotten
the
hyghest
place
,
because
of
his
agilitie
and
lyghtnes
,
and
that
by
this
reason
,
the
sonne
and
the
other
starres
,
hadde
kepte
theyr
places
and
certeyne
courses
,
in
the
hyghe
region
,
as
for
that
which
resteth
beynge
as
of
a
moist
qualitie
moued
but
a
lyttle
from
the
fyrst
place
,
because
of
his
heuynes
and
weyght
,
hauynge
a
kynde
of
moystenes
in
hym
of
the
moystest
part
one
wold
say
that
the
sea
had
folowed
it
,
and
that
the
heauynes
disapoynted
of
so
greate
humydite
shall
retourne
to
slammy
earth
and
soft
,
the
whiche
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
shall
harden
,
by
reason
of
the
heate
of
the
sonne
.
In
such
sort
the
abouesayde
by
the
vyolence
of
the
heat
shal
be
swollen
&
rysen
,
whervpon
many
humours
vnder
the
holones
of
the
grounde
,
risen
vp
,
were
gethered
,
and
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
conuerted
and
tourned
to
matters
rotten
,
as
we
se
hathe
happened
in
the
maryshes
of
Egypt
.
Ageyne
the
earth
beynge
colde
and
moyste
of
her
nature
,
is
made
hote
in
a
lytle
space
by
the
vehemente
heate
of
the
ayre
,
that
a
man
wolde
iudge
in
a
small
tyme
,
that
the
heate
had
ben
mingled
with
moyst
thynges
,
whiche
agayne
shal
be
formed
in
a
proper
matter
,
and
engendred
to
an
efficacie
,
to
the
whiche
was
gyuen
moystues
,
shed
by
nyght
and
by
the
vygneur
of
the
sonne
hadde
kept
and
noryshed
this
matter
generatyue
vntyll
that
by
contynuaaunce
of
tyme
,
the
abouesayd
matters
shal
be
compelled
to
ascend
vp
also
,
as
yf
the
tyme
had
ben
come
,
that
the
sayde
hardenesse
woulde
haue
rendred
that
whiche
it
hathe
engendred
,
that
maye
be
open
and
broken
by
the
vehemency
of
the
son
,
and
in
a
lyttle
space
after
,
brought
forthe
all
kynde
of
beastes
,
of
the
which
,
those
whiche
were
perticipent
of
the
greate
heate
,
were
volatyfe
or
made
to
fly
,
and
did
win
the
hyghest
region
of
the
eyre
.
The
other
which
had
more
of
the
weightines
or
ponderousnes
of
the
earth
were
made
to
remayne
creapynge
,
and
some
goyng
vpon
the
ground
.
The
other
which
helde
them selues
of
the
qualitie
of
water
,
were
transformed
into
the
element
of
the
qualitie
,
and
toke
the
name
Fyshe
,
and
by
this
the
earth
partly
because
of
the
heate
of
the
son
,
partly
because
of
the
wyndes
,
became
more
dryer
and
warmer
,
so
that
the
myghtye
beastes
ceased
engendrynge
,
but
they
which
engendred
by
a
mutual
coniunction
did
bringe
forth
other
.
They
say
after
this
sort
,
men
were
fyrst
created
,
who
hath
euer
synce
sought
theyr
meate
and
lyuynge
in
the
fieldes
,
&
feade
after
a
strange
and
wylde
sort
,
eatynge
nothynge
but
herbes
,
and
the
fruite
of
the
trees
,
and
dyd
no
labour
,
for
what
by
occasyon
of
the
hurte
that
the
wylde
beastes
dyd
theym
before
,
and
for
feare
they
shoulde
dayly
,
they
gathered
theym selues
together
for
theyr
commen
vtillitie
and
profyte
that
they
myght
succoure
one
an
other
,
and
prepare
places
to
dwell
in
.
Ageyne
for
that
the
sound
of
theyr
mouthes
were
confuse
,
they
estudied
to
frame
theyr
tongues
to
a
certeyne
speache
,
so
that
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
they
gaue
euery
thyng
a
name
.
And
because
they
were
deuyded
into
dyuers
partes
,
and
regions
of
the
worlde
,
they
formed
dyuerse
and
diuersitie
of
language
and
consequentely
a
ferme
in
theyr
letters
.
And
by
this
the
humayne
creatures
lyuynge
in
great
pouertie
,
and
without
vnderstandynge
how
to
make
reseruacion
for
their
necessities
,
with
that
whiche
God
sent
theim
,
as
the
fruite
whiche
the
earth
brought
forth
,
fortuned
oftentimes
that
one
(
amongest
the
greate
nomber
)
dyed
for
hunger
,
and
some
for
colde
,
wherevpon
men
instructed
by
experience
was
dryuen
and
learned
to
prepare
a
buckler
to
defende
them
from
these
and
such
lyke
inconuenientes
,
serched
(
as
saith
the
Philosophers
)
caues
to
auoyde
the
vyolence
of
the
cold
and
reserued
the
frut
for
theyr
prouision
afterwarde
they
had
knowlege
of
the
proprietie
of
fyre
,
whae
it
was
,
together
with
all
other
necessaries
.
In
a
space
after
,
they
inuented
al
thynges
apt
and
mete
for
humayne
lyfe
.
To
conclude
necessitie
was
the
compeller
to
seake
these
inuentions
,
at
the
last
man
hadde
the
arte
to
vse
one
an
other
in
his
place
,
that
the
handes
,
the
wordes
the
excellencie
of
the
spirites
,
was
helpers
togethers
,
and
serued
them
.
Thes
be
they
which
be
perswaded
that
the
originall
of
man
is
,
as
aboue
rehearsed
,
and
haue
not
referred
it
to
the
dyuyne
prouidence
of
God
,
doth
hold
opinion
that
the
Ethiopiens
were
the
fyrst
that
were
procreated
amongest
the
mortalles
and
had
this
opinion
,
for
that
the
lande
of
Ethiopie
is
the
neighbour
to
the
sonne
,
as
before
al
other
to
feale
the
heate
,
howe
muche
as
before
they
did
,
neyther
more
nor
lesse
then
al
the
rest
of
the
earth
,
the
said
earth
was
slymye
,
then
it
shoulde
haue
ben
,
that
of
this
fyrst
temparature
and
moistnes
with
the
heat
man
shal
be
engendred
,
who
shuld
rest
in
the
place
of
his
byrthe
,
rather
then
in
any
other
,
whiche
he
knoweth
not
.
Now
we
wyl
begin
by
this
region
,
and
after
we

We

of

And

I

AS
touchynge
the
same
matter
,
that
thynge
which
is
called
all
,
what
soeuer
thynge
it
is
,
whervnto
we
haue
giuen
the
name
of
the
worlde
and
of
heauen
.
It
is
one
thynge
and
comprehendethe
in
one
compase
him selfe
&
al
thinges
.
In
hys
parte
is
dyfference
.
From
whence
the
sonne
dothe
sprynge
,
it
is
named
the
Orient
or
East
.
And
there
as
it
falleth
it
is
named
the
Occidente
or
the
west
.
That
waye
where
his
course
doth
lye
,
it
is
called
the
South
And
on
the
contrarye
parte
the
North
.
And
in
the
middes
of
the
same
is
the
earthe
on
hyghe
,
and
is
gyrded
rounde
about
wyth
the
see
.
And
the
same
deuyded
from
the
east
to
the
west
into
two
partes
the
which
ar
called
Hemispherise
hath
fyne
distyncte
porcyons
or
Zoones
.
Heate
dothe
vex
the
medle
most
and
colde
the
extremes
.
The
resydwe
maye
be
inhabited
.
They
haue
lyke
tymes
of
the
yere
,
but
yet
not
at
one
time
our
Antichthones
doth
dwell
in
the
one
,
and
we
in
the
other
.
The
scituation
of
that
being
vnknowne
for
the
vehement
heate
of
the
plage
,
that
is
betwene
:
we
muste
entreate
vppon
this
.
And
so
this
is
extended
from
the
east
vnto
the
west
.
And
for
because
it
lyeth
euen
so
it
is
somthing
longer
than
where
it
is
brodest
.
It
is
all
compassed
aboute
with
the
C●ccear
,
and
receaueth
of
hym
foure
seas
,
one
from
the
Northe
and
two
frome
the
Southe
,
and
the
fourth
from
the
west
.
They
shal
be
declared
in
their
places
.
This
first
bring
very
strayte
and
passynge
not
ten
miles
in
bredth
openeth
the
earth
,
and
entrethe
.
And
then
is
poured
out
longe
and
wyde
and
dryueth
a
fore
him
myghtely
the
see
bankes
,
gyuing
him
place
.
And
then
againe
they
commynge
together
verye
nygh
,
it
is
dryuen
into
such
a
strayt
that
it
is
lesse
then
a
myle
ouer
.
And
then
spreadeth
it selfe
agayne
,
but
thae
is
very
moderatly
and
then
it
goeth
forthe
into
a
more
narowe
place
than
it
was
afore
,
where
,
when
it
is
once
receyued
it
is
agayne
verye
huge
and
great
,
and
is
ioyned
vnto
the
poole
,
but
that
is
by
a
smale
monthe
.
And
all
this
same
bothe
where
as
it
commethe
and
where
as
it
spreadeth
is
called
wyth
one
name
our
see
.
The
strayte
entre
of
it
commynge
in
,
the
Latynes
,
dothe
call
Fretum
.
where
as
it
spreadeth
a
brode
,
it
receyueth
dyuers
names
in
diuers
places
,
wheras
it
first
stratneth
it selfe
together
it
is
called
Helles
Pontus
.
And
then
Propontus
where
as
it
spreadeth
out
,
where
it
rynneth
together
agayne
Eospherus
of
Thrace
.
And
where
agayne
it
powrethe
out
it selfe
a
brode
it
is
called
Pontus
Euxinus
.
And
there
as
it
is
committed
to
the
poole
it
is
called
Cymi●…us
Bospherus
.
The
poole
it selfe
is
called
Meot●s
.
By
this
see
and
two
noble
ryuees
called
Tanais
and
Nilus
the
hole
worlde
is
deuyded
into
thre
partes
.
The
ryuer
Tanais
commynge
from
the
Northe
towarde
the
Southe
rynnethe
all
moste
in

the
myddest
of

poole
Meotis
.
and
from
the
contrary
part
Nilus
rynneth
into
the
see
.
And
all
that
lande
that
is
from
the
strayte
vnto
those
fluddes
on

we
cal
Africa

And
on
the
other
side

And
al
that

is

The

Conntreye
of

and
the
aunciente

of

Ethiopiens
.
p
Ca.
iiii
EThiope
is
a
region
deuyded
into
two
partes
.
Thone
parte
is
called
Asie
.
thother
is
Aphricke
.
The
same
which
at
this
day
is
called
the
Indes
towarde
the
sonne
rysynge
,
is
enuironned
with
the
rede
see
,
and
with
the
see
of
Barbaria
towardes
the
North
it
is
bordynge
on
the
countrey
of
Libie
and
Egepte
towardes
Occidente
,
and
doth
ioyne
to
the
forthest
Lible
of
the
parte
restynge
,
the
whiche
is
set
on
the
syde
of
Midy
and
ioyned
to
the
other
Ethiope
,
and
was
so
called
by
a
name
Athiopes
sonne
of
Vulcaiue
,
whiche
first
raygned
(
as
sayth
Plinie
)
of
a
Greke
digestion
Atho
whiche
signifieth
burne
and
Oph
which
signifieth
take
hede
,
&
that
because
of
the
approchynge
nyghe
to
the
soone
.
The
countreye
is
continually
hote
,
the
same
being
vnder
the
region
of
the
Midy
.
This
countrey
draweth
towardes
the
west
,
and
the
desert
towardes
the
East
.
Many
sortes
of
people
dwell
there
of
dyuers
figures
,
&
kyndes
.
Some
do
thynke
that
they
were
the
fyrst
created
of
almortall
creatures
,
and
the
true
Inhabitoures
of
the
earthe
.
They
knowe
not
what
bondage
meaneth
.
They
haue
alwayes
ben
at
lybertie
.
It
is
sayde
that
religion
and
the
ceremoneyes
for
theyr
Goddes
were
fyrst
by
them
inuented
.
They
haue
doble
vsaunce
of
letters
.
The
letters
which
be
called
holye
,
are
for
the
pristes
of
lawes
vsage
&
to
them
onely
knowne
,
the
other
be
for
the
common
people
.
The
fygures
of
their
letters
were
not
such
that
of
them
myghte
be
lykened
two
selables
,
but
moore
lyker
to
the
outeward
parts
of
men
and
creatures
,
and
to
be
compared
to
some
instrumentes
that
artificers
occupy
.
Euerye
one
of
the
fygures
had
thre
proper
significations
.
As
for
example
.
The
figure
of
Milan
,
by
the
whiche
was
sygnyfyed
celeritie
or
quiknes
.
By
the
fygure
of
one
Crocodile
,
was
signified
euyll
.
By
the
fygure
of
Locil
was
signified
take
hede
and
preseruation
,
and
so
consequently
of
all
other
figures
euerye
one
to
his
proprietie
signified
sondrye
thynges
They
which
presented
the
signe
of
Incence
amongeste
the
pristes
were
holden
most
holy
,
and
therefore
they
were
axcepted
with
the
kynge
and
worshypped
of
all
the
people
as
men
endued
wyth
deuinitie
,
which
was
reputed
to
be
sente
by
the
deuyne
prouydence
.
The
kynge
was
bounde
to
lyu●
acordynge
to
the
ordinaunce
of
their
lawes
,
and
in
al
his
affayres
to
be
ruled
as
the
fashion
of
the
contrey
,
he
coulde
punishe
no
malefactours
nor
rewarded
good
doers
,
but
wolde
sende
one
of
his
offycers
to
hym
whiche
is
ordeyned
to
be
punyshed
,
geuynge
him
charge
to
signifye
to
him
death
.
As
soone
as
he
shulde
cease
spekynge
to
the
malefactour
,
incontinently
after
,
he
shal
go
into
his
house
and
kyl
him
,
with
out
remedy
or
other
question
to
be
axed
.
There
is
much
honour
attribtted
by
them
to
the
kynge
,
for
as
often
as
they
shall
perceyue
him
to
be
sycke
in
any
part
of
his
body
,
or
what
cause
so
euer
it
may
be
,
they
of
the
court
,
wyll
in
good
grey
take
the
lyke
decease
in
the
sawe
parte
where
the
kinge
is
sicke
of
,
for
they
iudge
if
to
be
health
full
for
theim
,
that
if
so
be
it
,
the
kynge
shuld
lose
either
his
legge
or
arme
,
that
they
myght
also
be
pertycypent
,
of
the
lyke
calamytie
.
Also
they
say
that
they
which
be
seruantes
with
the
kynge
after
they
knowe
that
he
is
deade
,
do
seke
also
theyr
owne
deathes
,
and
that
is
in
wytnesse
or
temonial
of
the
true
amyte
betwene
theyr
kynge
and
them
.
The
same
death
sayth
they
doth
tourne
them
to
greeate
honour
.
The
most
part
of
the
people
of
that
countrey
do
commonly
go
naked
,
because
it
is
so
hote
,
onely
they
do
couer
theyr
members
with
shepes
skynnes
,
and
other
some
of
theym
haue
couerynges
hangynge
frome
theyr
heare
(
with
the
whiche
they
be
interlaced
)
vnto
the
myddle
of
theyr
bodyes
.
They
haue
no
frute
nor
grayne
,
but
of
lyttle
Palmes
,
and
yet
there
is
but
a
small
quantitie
,
some
of
the
people
lyue
with
hearbes
and
lyttle
rootes
of
trees
together
with
fleshe
and
mylke
.
Meroe
was
the
capitall
towne
,
in
that
realme
,
and
is
an
Ilonde
in
forme
of
a
tryangle
within
the
ryuer
of
Nylo
,
and
dothe
extende
almost
thre
thousand
Stades
It
was
inhabited
at
the
beginning
by
shepherdes
giuen
holly
to
the
chase
and
by
laboures
,
who
had
in
theyr
possessions
the
myndes
of
golde
.
Herodote
doth
resyte
that
the
Macrobiens
(
whiche
be
people
in
Ethiope
)
do
moore
esteme
tynne
and
lether
,
then
golde
,
in
so
muche
that
the
Imbassadours
which
kynge
Cambises
sent
into
that
countrey
,
came
home
cheyned
together
lyke
prisoners
in
great
cheynes
of
gold
,
they
haue
in
that
countrey
great
plenty
of
golde

Evene

They
kyl
the
Olyphantes
and
eate

They
haue
Lyons

,
the
which
by
the
nomber
of
knottes
,
they
make
of
theyr
tayles
do
kyl
the
Olyphantes
.
There
is
found
in
that
countrey
certeyne
kynde
of
stones
,
as
the
H●acinthe
,
and
the
Christop●rast
.
they
do
gather
Peper
there
Theyr
bowes
belonge
and
burnt

.
The
women
of
that
countrey
vse
to
go
a
warfare
them selues
,
all
lyke
to
the
men
.
And
they
haue
for
the
most
part
theyr
lyppe
persed
,
or
thruste
thorowe
with
a
knyfe
,
and
thorowe
the
same
passeth
a
ring
of

Some
of
them
do
worshyp
the

other
some
the
sonne
going
downe
,
some
vse
to
cast
the
dead

into

other
some
do
enclose

in

of

and
kepe

and
so
do
worshyp

&
with
great
seremonie

Some
wrytethe
that
they
vse
of

kyng
which
doth
passe
all
other
in
the
science
of
bryngyng
vp
beastes
,
and
stronge
of

Theyr
kyng
had
this
prerogatyue
of
an
olde
and
auncient
custome
ouer
the
priestes
of
the
cytie
of
Memphis
,
that
he

he

and
to

They
do
beleue
that
there
is
an
euerlastyng

and
he
whiche
made
all

and
gouerneth
the
whole

Ageyne
they
do
beleue
there
shulde
be

the

not

They
haue
theyr
kynge
in
suche
reuerence
that
they
lyken

for
they
say
he
hath
merited
more
praise
for
a

,
and
worthyer

then
theyr

This

Marc
Anthony
Sabellique
(
out
of
whom
we
haue
taken
the
most
part
which
we
haue
and
wyll
rehearse
)
dothe
say
that
he
dyd
vnderstande
of
the
true
and
ryght
men
of
the
countrey
that
the
kynge
of
Ethiope
whiche
we
call

whom
they
cal

,
that

of

that
vnder

of

and
eche
of
theim
Ageyne
haue
at

vnder

They
say
more
,
that
princes
and
noble
bluds
do
eary
the
crosse
before
them
,
when
they
go
abrode
.
In
lyke
case
,
they
cary
a
vessell
made
of
golde
fylled
with
earthe
,
and
by
that
representacion
they
be
warned
of
the
mortall
condicion
by
one
of
the
sayd
obiections
,
and
by
the
other
of
the
passion
of
Iesus

Theyr
Temples
be
of
greate
hyghnesse
and
large

and
farre
rycher
then

They
haue

Their

is
not
of

certeine
coloure

but
as
the
supprior
wold
permit
them
to
weare

They
haue
a
great
deuosion
to
our
blessed

holy
virgin
Marye

and
to
saynct
Thomas

which
is

They
do
surely
thynke
that
theyr
kyng
which
is
called
Gram
is
come
of
the

of
Dauid

Of

The

There

be

withall
dothe

that

as
the

which

the

lake
fallyng
therein
doth
not
swymme
vpon
the

,
but
is
receaued
inwardly
,
and
so
synke
downe
.
There
be
also
meruelous
byrdes
with
hornes
,
and
Tragopomones
and
Pagasi
which
haue
eares
lyke
Asses
.
But
into
the

to

the

Southward
,
there
is
nothynge
notable
.
Al
that
way
is
wast
,
for
it
is
interupt
with
waue
hy●les
,
and
rather
lyke
fresh-water
bankes
then
sea
bankes
.
And
from
thens
there
is
a
greate
cooste
and
withoute
inhabytance
.
And
for
a
certeyne
tyme
it
was
douted
whether
the
sea
was
beyonde
or
whether
the
earthe
was
compassed
about
or
whether
Aphrique
,
beynge
voyde
of
all
fruite
,
dyd
extende
it selfe
without

But
yf
it
be
so
that
Hamo
of
Carthago
whan
he
was
sent
by
his
countrey
folkes
to
serche
out
the
countreies
,
ofter
he
had
passed
the
mouthes
of
the
Ocean
,
and
went
a
compasse
aboute
a
great
part
of
Aphrique
,
he
made
report
,
that
he
dyd
not
lacke

But
that
he
wanted
victuall
.
A
certeyne
man
called
Eudoxus
in
the
tyme
of
oure

,
when
as
he
fled
away
from

wente

where
there
is
certeine
thinges
of

knowen

For
beyonde
those
places
which
as
we
haue
sayd
before
be
deserte
.
There
be
dume
people
which
vseth
signes
for
spech
,
other
hath
tonges
without

some
lacke
there
tonges
other
some
also
haue
theyr

c●auynge
together
,
sauynge
that
they
haue
an
hole
vnder
their

,
where
they
couet
to
drinke
,
but
whan
they
haue
lyste
to
eate
,
they
take
the
corne
sprynging
here
and
there
,
&
be
reported
to
receaue
one
corne
at
once
.
These
be
admirable
.
yet
not
so
admirable
as
notable
.
Truelye
they
be
worthy
of
parpetuall
memory
and
prayse
as
well
for
their
lyuynge
as
also
for
the
obedyence
to

For
howe
much
is
it
to
be
accounted
to

for
dishonor
beyng
Christians
,
reasonable
creatures
,
endued
with
celestiall
knowledge
,
and
instructed
in

to
showe
more
disobedience
to
our

than

what
rebuke
do
they
meret

deserue
,
whiche
knowe
the

and
yet
neyther
obeye

Where

not

do
notwithstandyng
lyue
a

Well
I
wyshe
all

haue
shame
layde

is
a

whiche
to
the
iudgement
of
some
)
is
nighe
to
Aphrique
,
and
this

is
so
called
by
the

of
a

of

whiche
had

&
was

saith

there
is
no

yet
is
the

for
the

signe
there
is
a

in

called

so
that

is
called
Deltae
by
reason
of

which
come
euery

from
the

after
the

Some
men
iudged
that
it

because
of
the
circuite
that
the

made
all
about
the

The

Their

The

but
the
doughters
,
many
of

in

when
any
of
theyr
frendes
dyed
)
were
accustomed
to
pole
their

&
let

The
Egyptiens
to
the
contrarye
shaue
their
beardes
,
&
let
the
heare
of
theyr

growe
.
They

whych
they
make

with
their

and
worketh

This

were
dissended
from

(
as
the

The

The

They

The

The

Notwithstandynge

The
Pristes
for
the

be
accustomed
to

They

They

It

They

Iudgynge
them
to

durynge
the

They
do

Marchaunt

They

All

Be

The

for
that
the

Beastes

They
lyue
by
a
kynd
of
meat
made
of
Wheate

Rye

and
of

Some
tyme
they
eat
byrdes
which
be
salted

made
harde
as
a

Morouer
the
noble

.
as
councellers
went
fyrst

to
learne
theyr

,
in
the
whiche
knowledge
they
passed
all

as
these

Orpheus
the

Homere

Melampodes

many
other
so
that
the
Pristes
of
Egypt
glorifyed
that
they
founde
them
in
theyr
bokes
,
Wherfore
me
thinke
it
is
very
necessary
to
speake
more
of
their
fachions
,
maners
,
&
lyuings
to
th
ende
we
myght
knowe
that
whiche
they
aboue
named
had
taken
of
them
and
other
nations
.
For
so
(
as
sayth
Ber●alde
.
)
In
the
boke
that
Apulie
dyd
wryte
vppon
the
golden
Asse
,
that
manye
of
our
fachions
and
doynges
was
gathered
out
of
the
seremonies
of
the
Egiptiens
,
as
to
weare
germentes
,
the

of
the

to
weare
a

to
make

,
to
go

,
to
synge
musycke
,
to
do
adoration
,
to

many
other

The

helde
their

their

was
to
be
noted
in
that
they
lyued
accordynge
to

They
haue
no

borne

Noble

serue

and
such
was
chosen
as
hadde

,
to
th
end
that
the
Prynce
moued
,
by
the
presens
of
his
seruauntes
(
whom
were
alwayes
next
to
his
person
)
shoulde
not
be
fantesied
and
mynded
to
make
other
actes
,
but
of
vertue
,
for
the
Kynges
do
nothing
of
them selues
worthy
of
reprehension
,
they
haue
at
all
tymes
to
councell
theym
other
that
be
wyse
also
,
there
is
certeyne
houres
appoynted
as
well
in
the
nyght
as
in
the
daye
,
at
the
whyche
tyme
the
Kynge
shall
vnderstande
the
affayres
commytted
to
him
by
their
lawes
.
At
his
vprysynge
he
shall
receaue
all
complayntes
exhibyted
vnto
hym
to
the
end
he
may
knowe
al
that
shal
nede
to
be
done
.
Euerye
thynge
is
dispatched
in
tyme
and
in
his
place
opposited
by
good
conduxcion
.
After
that
is
done
,
they
wasshe
their
bodyes
in
the
presens
of
many
noble
&
mighty
parsons
,
putteth
on
a
sumptuous
robe
,
and
makes
sacrifyce
to
theyr
Goddes
.
The
custome
of
the
greatest
Prelate
amongst
al
the
pristes
is
to
leade
nyghe
to
the
aulter
the
beastes
,
and
to
prayse
theyr
Gods
with
a
loude
voyce
the
Kynge
next
to
hym
,
and
the
people
assystynge
.
They
also
pray
for
the
health
and
prosperitie
of
theyr
Kynge
,
whiche
hath
done
true
iustice
to
his
subiectes
,
and
afterwarde
resitynge
the
vertue
and
excellency
of
their
sayd
Prince
,
as
his
deuosion
towardes
the
Goddes
,
humilitie
to
man
,
the
kepynge
of
his
promesse
,
Iustyce
,
magninemitie
,
veretie
,
lyberalitie
,
modistie
and
mercye
to
theim
in
solitarines
.
And
afterwarde
do
curse
all
malifactoures
,
and
therby
dyschargethe
their
Kynge
of
blame
.
Imputynge
his
offences
to
hys
offycers
.
Whan
that
these
solempnites
be
fynysshed
,
the
Prelate
doth
exorte
the
Kinge
to
depart
according
to
the
wyll
of
theyr
Goddes
,
&
not
to
folowe
the
peoples
aduyce
of
smale
practyse
,
but
to
haue
respecte
to
vertue
and
honour
.
After
that
the
sacrifyce
made
of
a
Bull
is
done
,
the
Prelate
dothe
rehearse
out
of
holye
bookes
some
actes
of
vertue
made
by
their
predicessors
,
to
admonyshe
theyr
Kynge
to
rule
after
the
example
of
theym
,
that
is
truly
and
iustlye
.
The
aunciente
lawes
were
not
only
made
to
meinteyne
Iustyce
,
but
also
for
the
gouernement
of
euerye
thynge
in
all
poyntes
,
as
to
eate
,
drynke
,
slepe
,
to
banyshe
and
to
accompanye
wyth
women
.
Their
meates
were
denty
:
mooste
commonlye
they
vse
to
eate
Veale
.
They
haue
a
certeyne
measure
when
they
drynke
wyne
,
that
they
can
not
passe
the
stynte
,
The
which
is
to
avoyde
Ebrietie
drounkennes
and
glotenye
.
Insomuche
their
laws
were
so
wel
instituted
that
it
appered
they
were
not
made
&
ordeyned
by
a
lawier
,
but
by
a
moste
perfecte
Phisicion
.
And
it
was
a
maruelous
thynge
to
se
the
Egyptiens
so
perticularly
and
duely
obserue
theyr
lawes
,
and
not
theyr
wylles
,
but
this
is
moore
worthye
of
maruell
to
say
that
they
were
not
inclyned
to
gather
and
accumelate
goodes
,
by
a
vniust
maner
or
by
anye
vnreysonable
couetousnes
.
They
do
punysh
no
man
in
indygnation
,
so
that
their
felicitie
was
obtempered
to
the
lawes
&
esteme
theym
whiche
prayse
and
glorifie
them selfes
to
be
subiectes
to
many
passions
in
folowynge
theyr
owne
pleasures
:
in
somuche
that
we
may
se
they
knowe
theyr
owne
fautes
,
that
neyther
loue
,
heae
,
nor
couetousnes
coulde
compel
theym
to
do
thynges
whiche
they
knewe
to
be
vnlawefull
or
preuidiciall
to
those
whiche
gouerne
them
by
prudence
and
councel
,
besydes
they
haue
respect
least
they
shuld
dysplease
them
.
The
iustice
of
the
kinge
to
the
people
on
the
other
side
is
suche
,
that
he
hath
the
loue
of
all
theym
.
that
not
onely
the
pristes
,
but
also
the
hoole
people
of
Egypt
haue
a
great
solicitude
or
more
carefulnes
,
and
tendernes
ouer
the
health
of
theyr
kyng
,
then
they
haue
eyther
of
wife
chyldren
or
other
perticuler
Lorde
.
And
when
such
a
iust
king
doth
depart
.
All
in
generall
doth
deploore
and
lament
,
rente
theyr
clothes
in
peeces
,
shut
the
churches
,
and
are
discoraged
to
commence
any
publyke
actes
.
By
the
space
of
.lxxii.
dayes
.
two
hundreth
of
theim
goeth
about
the
streates
in
a
strange
apparel
as
well
men
as
women
.ii.
tymes
a
day
,
and
singeth
after
the
maner
and
fourme
of
hymmes
,
the
vertues
of
theyr
kynge
departed
.
And
they
wyll
not
eate
the
flesh
of
any
best
baked
,
thei
absteyn
them selues
from
all
delicate
meates
as
wel
in
drynking
as
also
in
eatyng
.
They
vse
no
bathes
,
nor
ointmentes
,
nor
sleapes
in
beddes
,
nor
haue
not
the
companye
of
theyr
wyues
.
So
sorowfully
be
they
al
as
thoughe
theyr
deare
chyldren
were
departed
.
And
more
ouer
touchynge
this
,
they
be
wont
to
make
redy
that
which
shuld
serue
for
the
sepulcher
,
and
at
the
last
day
,
they
shut
the
body
within
a
lyttle
Cyrcle
,
before
it
is
put
in
the
sepulcher
In
the
same
place
there
shal
be
red
accordynge
to
the
olde
custome
the
Regester
of
all
that
which
the
king
had
done
in
his
lyfe
tyme
,
and
it
was
permytted
for
euery
one
to
accuse
him
.
At
these
funerals
there
are
a
great
nombre
of
people
some
come
with
loud
voyce
to
praise
his
deseruynges
and
merites
,
other
do
blame
his
faultes
,
and
make
a
gret
noyse
and
brute
.
And
by
this
brute
it
hath
many
times
hapened
that
diuers
kynges
,
haue
ben
plucked
away
from
the
honour
of
the
sepulcher
,
and
hauynge
this
feare
doth
styre
and
prouoke
the
kynges
of
Egypte
to
lyue
well
and
iustely
,
fearing
least
after
theyr
death
they
shoulde
incurre
into
the
displeasure
of
any
of
theyr
subiectes
.
And
this
is
the
state
of
the
kyng
of
this
countrey
.
Al
Egypt
is
deuyded
into
diuers
gouernementes
,
euery
one
of
them
by
a
name
,
constituted
a
gouernour
who
hath
the
charge
of
all
thyngs
.
The
reuenews
of
the
kynges
lands
was
deuided
in
thre
partes
.
The
first
part
to
the
prestes
of
theyr
lawe
,
to
whome
they
gyue
great
honour
,
as
wel
for
the
administracion
of
theyr
sacramentes
,
as
also
for
theyr
knoweledge
,
by
the
which
other
be
tought
,
parte
of
the
reuenewes
be
employed
vpon
such
necessaries
as
serueth
for
the
sacrifices
,
and
theyr
owne
lyuynges
.
they
can
not
suffre
that
the
ministers
of
theyr
gods
shal
be
poore
,
or
that
they
shulde
lacke
any
thynge
to
do
sacrifyce
withall
.
These
priestes
comynge
to
the
kynge
professeth
to
him
the
thynges
which
be
to
come
aswell
by
the
science
of
Astrology
,
as
also
by
the
sorte
of
theyr
sacrifices
.
Moreouer
they
do
rehearse
to
theyr
kyng
bokes
which
be
called
holly
.
The
actes
and
deades
of
other
kings
,
his
predecessors
bi
the
same
he
know
the
better
what
is
expedient
for
him
.
They
be
not
in
a
small
nombre
as
ye
wolde
saye
two
in
a
companye
,
they
be
franke
and
haue
the
second
place
of
auctoritie
next
to
the
kynge
.
The
second
part
of
the
reuenewes
is
to
the
king
who
doth
bestowe
it
for
his
necessaries
as
wel
vpon
marterial
weapons
for
warres
,
as
also
the
necessaries
for
his
house
,
and
shewe
lyberalitie
towardes
the
good
and
vertuous
people
.
And
by
this
his
lyberalitie
the
comon
people
be
not
burdened
to
pay
taxes
and
fynes
,
as
they
do
in
other
countreys
.
The
thyrde
parte
of
the
reuenewes
belongeeh
to
the
men
of
warre
,
to
the
ende
they
may
haue
the
greater
desyre
to
put
them selues
forth
in
al
partes
dangerous
,
for
the
defence
of
theyr
countrey
.
Theyr
policie
consisteth
in
thre
maner
of
people
,
that
is
to
say
,
labourers
,
herdemen
and
practisers
of
science
.
The
labourers
do
bye
eyther
of
the
prests
Kynge
,
or
of
men
of
warre
,
certeine
grounde
in
the
fyelde
,
and
do
continue
in
labourynge
all
theyr
lyfe
longe
vpon
the
same
.
And
therof
it
commeth
that
they
can
better
skyll
to
laboure
and
tyll
the
earthe
,
then
other
nacions
.
This
industry
and
labour
of
theyrs
is
gyuen
by
nature
from
the
father
to
the
chylde
,
lykewyse
the
shepherde
from
the
father
to
the
chylde
,
do
kepe
and
noryshe
beastes
and
haue
no
other
vocation
This
art
and
science
hath
ben
gretly
augmented
by
the
artyficers
of
Egypt
,
for
that
they
meddle
with
no
publyke
matter
,
nor
do
exercise
no
other
occupacion
,
but
that
which
they
are
called
to
,
and
apoynted
by
theyr
lawes
,
or
learned
of
theyr
fathers
.
They
do
iudge
nothing
rashly
.
In
so
muche
they
say
that
these
thynges
which
be
conducted
posytyuely
and
by
maturitie
be
of
gret
commodytie
,
and
for
the
preseruacion
of
societe
and
humayne
lyfe
,
They
can
fynde
no
better
meanes
to
expulse
or
banyshe
all
noughtynes
,
then
to
punishe
mulefactours
and
euyl
doers
,
so
shal
al
offenders
be
whypped
.
And
they
haue
suche
a
respect
that
due
Iustyce
be
done
,
that
neyther
for
loue
frendship
,
nor
money
,
the
trespasses
of
the
offendour
shall
be
forgeuen
,
for
they
sayd
,
these
remissions
to
be
destruction
of
man
.
Wherfore
in
the
gretest
Cyties
as
in
Heliopole
in
Memphis
,
and
Thebes
there
was
elected
and
chosen
good
men
,
to
whom
the
correction
of
all
causes
was
commytted
who
do
lyttle
dyffer
from
those
of
Areopagites
of
Athenes
or
to
the
senate
of
the
Lacedemoniens
wher
there
was
of
longe
time
two
iudges
constituted
.
They
do
apere
alwayes
to
the
nomber
of
xxx
.
and
they
chose
some
of
the
moste
lykest
amonge
them
to
be
president
.
And
ageyne
there
is
gyuen
to
theym
an
other
superior
by
the
Cytizens
.
The
kynge
doth
fynde
all
the
necessaries
as
lyuynges
,
but
the
superiours
was
commaunded
by
the
king
to
be
more
honorablye
serued
then
the
inferiours
.
He
that
is
principal
of
them
hath
a
cheine
of
golde
hange
at
his
necke
,
wherunto
is
tyed
an
Image
wel
garnyshed
with
precious
stones
.
This
cheyne
is
called
verytie
.
In
so
much
that
president
shulde
signifie
to
all
menne
that
he
which
was
apoynted
to
heare
their
causes
,
by
the
cheyne
shulde
present
veritie
,
and
with
truth
to
way
all
thynges
.
Ageyne
theyr
lawes
conteynynge
in
.viii.
bookes
,
brought
amongest
them
.
This
was
the
custome
,
that
the
accuser
shuld
bring
in
written
the
causes
of
the
accusacion
&
to
certifie
the
iudge
in
forme
and
maner
as
it
was
done
(
Is
the
hurte
doone
to
an
other
was
a
question
.
)
To
the
defendant
there
was
gyuen
tyme
to
aunswere
the
plaintifes
obiection
,
and
to
pourge
him selfe
or
auoyde
the
fault
,
or
els
to
deny
al
and
be
cleare
.
Moreouer
they
gyue
audyence
to
the
accuser
.
Fynally
after
that
they
haue
benne
harde
two
tymes
before
the
iuges
They
take
deliberacion
,
that
done
the
iudge
tourneth
the
Image
towardes
the
true
and
feythfull
partye
,
and
doth
pronounce
iudgement
Seyng
nowe
by
chaunce
we
haue
fallen
into
this
passage
,
and
taken
vpon
vs
this
iourney
in
the
formal
declaracions
,
it
wolde
be
most
best
to
rehearse
some
olde
and
auncient
lawes
of
the
Egyptians
,
to
the
entent
that
we
may
know
the
one
from
the
other
,
as
those
that
be
euyll
to
shone
,
and
the
other
that
be
good
&
profytable
to
folow
.
Al
Periurers
were
corporally
punyshed
,
and
taken
as
men
dispraysynge
the
religion
of
the
goddes
,
in
so
doynge
they
had
vyolated
the
fayth
to
man
,
the
which
is
no
other
thyng
then
a
true
lyne
of
humayne
societie
and
felowshyp
,
he
that
in
the
hygh
way
shal
mete
any
man
which
hath
ben
pursued
by
theues
or
robbers
,
and
beynge
able
,
wolde
not
runne
to
take
them
,
was
holden
coulpable
of
the
inconueniens
and
misfortune
happened
vnto
the
man
.
And
if
so
be
it
,
he
coulde
not
folowe
him
.
Yet
was
he
bonde
to
come
before
the
Iustice
and
there
to
declare
the
cause
,
and
to
present
him selfe
as
an
accuser
agaynst
the
thyefe
.
The
peyne
that
was
appoynted
to
him
that
transgressed
the
law
was
:
that
he
shuld
endure
a
nombre
of
strypes
with
a
rod
,
and
not
to
eate
nor
drynke
for
the
space
of
thre
hoole
dayes
.
The
false
accuser
is
punished
as
a
great
transgresser
.
Al
the
Egypciens
wer
bounde
to
brynge
theyr
names
in
wrytynge
,
and
the
state
of
the
gouernour
of
theyr
countrey
he
whiche
in
that
place
was
founde
a
lyer
,
or
gat
his
lyuyng
by
an
vnlawfull
way
,
as
vserye
▪
or
suche
lyke
,
was
put
to
death
.
The
man
whiche
kylleth
an
other
,
whether
he
be
free
or
bounde
,
was
iudged
to
dye
.
for
murtherers
or
those
which
commit
homicede
,
they
be
not
curious
to
haue
the
lawes
passe
vpon
them
The
person
dead
,
present
deathe
to
the
manslers
,
so
by
that
the
nobles
of
the
contrey
be
in
surety
and
out
of
feare
.
The
father
which
kyll
the
chylde
is
not
put
to
deathe
,
but
for
the
space
of
thre
dayes
&
thre
nightes
,
he
is
continually
nyghe
death
,
beynge
accompanied
with
a
certein
nombre
of
seriantes
.
And
their
reson
is
,
that
thoughe
they
commyt
this
cryme
,
yet
ought
not
to
be
pupunished
for
they
iudge
that
the
father
taketh
awaye
ageyne
but
the
lyfe
whiche
before
he
gaue
to
his
chylde
,
and
it
is
sufficient
for
him
to
be
afflicted
by
continual
repentance
and
dollour
he
taketh
for
his
euyll
deade
,
and
by
this
meanes
it
seameth
to
theym
that
other
fathers
were
admonished
not
to
commit
the
lyke
.
They
haue
a
sharpe
punishement

We
fynd
in
aucters
that
Bocchoris
was
the
inuenture
of
the
lawes
obserued
among
the
Egyptiens
concernyng
worldly
matters
.
This
amongst
alother
was
ordeyned
the
money
lent
without
a
byll
or
recognisence
,
the
borower
without
fraude
to
repaye
agayne
to
the
Apprester
for
they
holde
this
oppinion
.
That
the
promesse
and
fayth
is
of
great
efficacy
and
vertue
.
They
dyd
defende
that
any
vnreasonable
vserars
should
be
had
in
theyr
countrey
.
Also
they
woulde
that
no
man
shoulde
haue
theyr
bodies
bounde
for
any
dette
.
Thynkyng
it
is
suffyciente
to
haue
theyr
goodes
bounde
and
not
their
bodyes
to
be
subiecte
to
no
other
thynges
but
to
the
prefermente
of
all
publyke
like
matters
.
They
them selues
dyd
fynd
this
to
be
repungnant
against
reason
that
the
men
of
warre
which
put
theym selues
forth
in
infinitte
dangers
for
the
cause
of
the
comen
weale
,
to
be
caryed
to
pryson
(
as
they
were
oftymes
)
by
reason
of
suche
dettes
as
they
toke
vp
at
vsarye
.
The
lyke
to
this
lawe
there
was
traunsported
by
Solon
to
the
Athenes
,
and
was
called
Sisatee
,
By
the
which
they
wold
not
suffre
that
the
bodye
of
a
Citiziner
shuld
be
kept
in
pryson
for
moneye
taken
vp
at
vserye
.
Moreouer
the
sayde
lawes
the
Ethiopiens
obserue
,
one
particular
law
as
concerning
theues
by
the
whiche
it
was
establyshed
that
all
they
whiche
had
stolne
any
thynge
shulde
brynge
the
stolne
before
the
hygh
Priest
,
and
to
giue
him
their
names
in
writynge
.
In
lykewyse
he
which
had
the
robery
done
to
,
must
come
before
the
high
Priest
.
and
declare
what
he
hathe
lost
,
the
daye
and
tyme
whan
,
and
how
the
robbery
was
committed
.
so
by
that
meanes
the
thynges
lost
be
recouered
.
Alwayes
it
was
prouyded
that
the
fourth
parte
of
the
stolne
goodes
the
robber
shulde
haue
.
To
make
this
lawe
ther
was
certeyne
lawyers
that
consydered
wyth
them selues
that
it
shulde
be
vnpossible
to
dryue
out
of
the
countrey
all
theues
,
thought
it
therfore
most
expedient
to
fynde
the
wayes
that
suche
gentyll
men
as
had
lost
theyr
goodes
myght
be
restored
to
them
agayne
:
made
this
lawe
that
the
fourthe
parte
shoulde
be
to
the
thefe
,
and
the
rest
to
the
howner
.
The
estate
of
mariage
is
not

vniforme

For

coulde
take
but
one
wyfe
in

,
the
other
as
manye
as
they
wolde
or
coulde
meynteyne
.
They
thynke
the
chyld
is
neuer
Illigitemetly
begotten
.
I
suppose
they
be
ingendred
of
a
woman
slauesse
.
for
that
the
man
doth
iudge
the
chyld
to
be
God
,
&
the
woman
which
bare
him
in
her
bely
to

to

The
maners
to
heale
malydies

disseases
is
to
obserue
a
dyet
,
or
to
prouoke
to
vomet
:
for
seynge
(
as
they
do
saye
)
that
all
sycknesses
commeth
by
the
superfluitiē
of
meates
,
they
can
fynde
no
better
medycyne
to
helpe
the
sycke
patient
,
then
to
folow
the
aboue
named
rurle
.
The
men
of
warre
do
spende
nothynge
to
haue
Barbers
or
Phisicions
,
for
that
at
the
sole
and
onely
charge
of
the

there
be
Phisicions
sounde
which
do
heale

of

left
them
in

whiche
be
regestred
in

called
holy

If
a

obseruynge
the
maner
of
the
medycens
conteynyng
in
theyr
bookes
,
had
not
holpen
the
sycke

he
was
exempted
by
their
lawe
,

put
in

,
but
yf
he
hadde
appoynted
or

wyse
ministred

medicene

then
in
the
sayde
bokes
were
specified
,
and
that
the
patiente
was
not
helped
but
dyed
.
The
Phisicion
was
also
condempned
to
dye
.
This
law
was
instituted
by
the
lawyers
,
for
they
iudged
it
a
straunge
thyng
and
vnprofytable
for
the
sycke
man
to
inuente
a

maner
of

whan

also
the

for
they
where
not
a
shamed
to

Idolyters
,
but
glorified
therin
,
and
thought
therby
to
purchase
to
them selues

to

great
honour
,
They
wold
go
about
the

showynge
(
as

what

they
were

howe
they
honoured

Whan
that
the

be

they
wrappe
them
in

That
done
,
they
bowe
them selues
downe

knocke

They
kepe

After

The

They

They

For
they
do
thinke
that
the
sheape
and
the

be
theyr
fathers

,
&
why
?
because
from

Afterwarde

couereth

And
after

they
put

so
leauethe

They

as
the

Fyrste
in

At

The

To

The

lyue
of
the
graynes
(
as
we
cal

)
the
accornes
whiche
fall

in
Somer

The

,
they
gather
certeyne
kynde
of
herbes
groynge
in
theyr
orchardes
wherof
they
lyue
in

of

But
the
Ilophagers
with
theyr
wyfes
and
chyldren
do
go
into
the
fyldes
and
do
clyme
vp
into
the

and
vpon

And
yf

that
the

shuld

they
holde

yet

,
had
no

because
of
the

of

,
besides
all
this
they
lyue
of
the
sayd

,
chosynge
out

tendrest
bowes
and
do
nyble
and
gnawe
the
same
as
the

eateth

&
they

These

in
theyr

they
do
vse
no

,
they
which
be
ouercome

be
as
bonde
slaues
to
the
vaunquyshers
or

.
They
do
oftentymes
dye
for

,
or
that
after
they
haue
ones
lost
their
syght
(
the
whiche
fortune
to
them
in

from
one
tree
to
an

)
and
cannot
se
to
gather
that
whiche
they
vsed
to

then
they
dye

The
cyrcuit
of
thys
nation
is
inhabyted
by
other
Ethiopiens
whiche
be
called
Cinectens
.
There
is
no
dyfference
betwene
them
and
the
other
,
for
asmuche
as
they
inhabit
in
the
for
rest
countreye
,
they
haue
fewe
or
no
fountaynes
.
They
are
compelled
to
liue
vpon
the
tres
because
there
is
so
many
wylde
beastes
,
&
verye
earlye
in
the
mornynge
they
goo
and
seeke
the
waters
and
the
fountaines
,
&
do
water
the
braunches
of
the
trees
in
the
heate
of
the

,
the

Oxen
,
the
Leopardes
,
and
other
wylde
beastes
,
doo
ronne
to
the
waters
for
to
drynke
.
And
the
sayde
beastes
do
drynke
so
muche
,
that
they
become
so
heuye
&
puffed
vp
that
they
can
not
well
resist
.
Then
the
Ethiopiens
defendynge
frome
theyr
trees
verye
fearsly
and
swiftly
do
assault
them
,
as
well
with
bournynge
staues
as
also
with
dartes
and
stones
.
In
so
muche
nowe
and
then
they
kyll

the
greate

.
It
chaunsethe
sometyme
also
that
the

wylde
beastes
haue

some
of
the

notwithstandynge
moost

certayne
myght
and
strength
so
that
they
take
the
saide
beastes
&
the
rather
by

art
&
industry
And
if
it
shuld
hapen
that
they
kyl
not
these
beastes
,
but
be
dryuen
to
a
excigency
,
then
they
do
in
such
an
extremitie
take
ageyne
the
skynnes
of
the
sayd
beastes
,
which
they
had
eaten
the
fleshe
before
,
do
plucke
away
the
heade
,
shoulders
with
the
heare
,
castyng
it
in

,
and
with
lytle
fire
doth
sithe
,
afterwardes
it
is
destrybyted
amongest
them
to
eat
,
and
are
therwith
sertyfied
.
They
vse
theyr
chyldren
to
shote
at
a
but
,
and
gyueth
them
no
meat
tyl
they
hit
it
,
and
therby
they
become
good
archers
,
and
expert
in
castynge
of
stones
.
Thereis
an
other
kynde
of
people
in
that
countreye
dwellynge
nyghe
the
deserte
,
whiche
be
called
Archridophages
,
and
they
be
verye
lowe
men
and
marueylous
blacke
.
At
the
pryme
tyme
the
wynde
of
zephyrus
,
&
the
wynde
of
Libique
do
brynge
out
of
the
desert
a
nomber
of
marueilous
great
Locustes
,
which
haue
wynges
of
a
lothsome
coullour
and
fygure
.
The
Ethiopiens
beinge
accustomed
&
broughte
to
this
,
made
great
aboundaunce
of
woodes
,
leaues
and
suche
lyke
in
a
longe
valley
.
The
season
of
the
yere
beynge
come
,
that
the
sayde
beastes
aboue
named
were
driuen
out
of
the
desert
by
the

and
that
so
great
aboundaunce
,
that
a

wolde
take
them
to

which
passed
aboue

,
agayne
whan
that
the

dyd

of

The

that
assended
vp
frome
the

was
so

The

And
hauynge

nor

They

They

Their

for

There
ingendreth

These

And
after

The
extremyties
of
Aphrique
towardes
the
parte
of
Midy
,
be
in
habited
with
a
kynd
of
people
which
the
Grekes
call
Cynamines
otherwyse
called
be
the
barbarous
wylde
.
They
do
weare
great
beardes
,
and
do
kepe
for
theyr
defence
a
nomber
of
dogges
,
for
from
the

of

to
the

of

,
there
commethe
into
that
countreye
a
multytude
of
Oxen
from
the
countrey
of
Indes
.
And
they
knowe
not
frome
whence
this
plentye
shulde
come
,
except
it
be
that
the
sayde
beastes
be
cōstreaned
to
fley
out
of
the
said
region
,
into
this
countrey
,
for
feare
of
the
hurt
of
other
wyld
beastes
,
or
by
the
iustynce
of
nature
.
Who
hath
ingendred
many
other
thynges
vnknowen
to
man
,
moost
worthye
of
admiration
,
and
for
that
the
people
be
not
able
to

so
great
a
nomber
of
beastes
commyng
vpon

,
be
constrayned
alwayes
to

with

so
great
a

of
dogges
,
by
the
help
and
course
of
the
which
dogges
,
there
is
taken
many
of
the
sayd
beastes
,
after
they
haue
kylled
them
,
they
eare
continent
one

,
and
for
their
prouision
salt
the
rest
.
They
do
eat
also
manye
other
beastes
whiche
the
dogges
do
werye
&
kyll
.
Beyond
the
aboue
said
people
towardes
the
Midy
,
inhabyteth
other
people
whiche
they
cal
Icthiophages
,
who
althoughe
they
haue
the
faces
of
men
,
yet
they
dyffer
nothynge
frome
beastes
in
theyr
lyuynges
,
these
people
dwell
vnder
the
Troglodites
in
the
greate
sea
Arabie
they
be
very
barbarous
.
At
altymes
they
be
naked
,
their
wifes
and
chyldren
be
common
,
and
lyke
brute
beastes
,
they
do
not
feale
any
volupe
lupt
or
passion
in
them selues
except
it
be
after
theyr
bodyes
feale
good
or
euyll
.
These
people
be
voyde
of
discretion
,
good
maners
,
and
honestye
.
They
dwell
in
ryuers
and
crekes
of
the
sea
along
by
the
waters
,
and
in
the
hyghe
countreyes
,
in
the
whiche
places
be
founde
many
depe
caues
and
longe
valleyes
.
Therbe
dyuers
narowe
holes
daungerous
at
the
enteryng
&
euyl
at
the
comminge
out
.
In
so
muche
that
whiche
foloweth
,
a
man
may
iudg
the
countrey
by
nature
to
be
made
after
the
fashion
of
the
Icthiophages
for
they
gathered
great
heapes
of
stones
,
&
and
layed
them
before
the
entryng
of
all
croked
places
,
and
made
more
suche
inuentions
for
the
nettes
to
take
fyshe
of
the
sea
,
because
in
the
sea
whan
the
flude
commeth
it
chaunseth
aboute
nonetyde
all
the
place
nighe
be
compassed
and
closed
about
with
waters
,
and
they
growe
to
suche
an
infinite
nomber
that
they
couer
al
the
countrey
and
bringeth
a
great
quantitie
of
fishe
,
which
do
swyme
hither
and
thyther
to
fynde
theyr
pasture
,
so
in
the
ende
,
at
the
retournynge
agayne
of
the
sea
,
the
water
do
caste
theym
vp
amongest
the
heapes
of
stones
,
and
then
the
fyshe
lye
drie
,
and
they
be
gathered
by
the
people
inhabytynge
in
that
contrey
,
which
do
runne
with
their
wyfe
and
chyldren
,
and
gather
the
sayd
fishes
for
their
prouision
.
And
when
they
dresse
the
sayde
fyshe
to
eate
,
they
lay
it
vpon
the
stones
to
wardes
the
Midy
,
or
nontyde
,
and
burnethe
it
in
the
heate
of
the
sonne
and
doth
let
it
lye
vpon
the
one
syde
a
whyle
,
and
turneth
the
other
side
when
they
thinke
it
is
rosted
inough
they
plucke
out
all
the
fleshe
,
&
put
it
in
a
hollowe
stone
,
which
is
lyke
vnto
a
morter
,
then
mixeth
it
with
the
grayne
of
a
gosebery
tree
,
or
much
lyke
to
it
,
these
mingled
together
so
well
,
that
it
maketh
goodly
meate
to
eate
,
they
set
it
in
the
son
after
they
haue
put
it
together
they
make
it
lyke
in
proprietie
to
a
tyle
.
This
they
vse
for
all
theyr
meate
with
great
abundance
and
ioy
,
and
seruethe
theym
insteade
of
corne
,
when
it
chaunce
that
the
find
of
the
sea
abyde
styll
and
nothynge
deminyshe
,
by
reason
wherof
they
were
forced
to
leaue
theyr
comodytie
of
fyshynge
,
and
that
they
abyde
hunger
.
Then
they
heape
together
the
shels
of
the
sea
which
be
veri
great
and
do
breake
them
with
stones
,
and
so
fead
of
the
fleshe
they
fynd
with
in
the
sayde
shelles
the
whiche
is
in
taste
lyke
to
an
oyster
of
the
sea
.
Ageyne
if
this
kynd
of
lyuyng
wer
taken
from
theym
by
continuall
tempestes
and
wyndes
.
They
take
the
bones
of
the
fyshes
by
theym
gathered
afore
and
gnaweth
it
like
a
dogge
the
tender
and
freshe
.
And
the
hardest
bone
they
breake
with
stones
.
In
so
doynge
they
dyffer
nothynge
from
beastes
.
This
kind
of
vitell
they
receyue
for
theyr
repast
with
great
ioye
(
as
I
rehearsed
before
)
syngynge
and
makynge
good
chere
one
with
an
other
.
And
after
that
euery
one
of
them
by
the
care
they
haue
to
get
chyldren
,
do
accompany
with
the
fyrste
woman
they
mete
,
without
hauynge
any
solicitude
all
theyr
lyfe
longe
,
whiche
commeth
by
reason
of
the
afflu
〈…〉
which
to
theym
be
〈…〉
for
the
space
of
v.
days
to
that
maner
of
lyuynge
,
the
syxte
daye
they
go
together
to
fynde
the
welles
to
drink
,
by
the
way
as
they
go
,
they
crye
both
in
one
voyce
in
suche
sorte
that
a
man
woulde
iudge
them
rather
to
be
the
crieng
of
a
multytud
of
wyld
bestes
then
mens
voyces
.
As
soone
as
they
come
to
the
fountaynes
,
they
receyue
in
such
abundaunce
of
water
,
that
they
can
not
wel
retourne
ageyne
,
but
rest
them selues
there
and
can
eate
no
more
,
beynge
afterwarde
as
men
troubled
or
rather
dronken
.
The
next
day
folowyng
they
retourne
a
fisshynge
,
and
in
this
sorte
passynge
theyr
lyues
(
beyng
a
very
fewe
of
them
sicke
)
and
that
is
for
because
they
eate
but
one
kynde
of
meate
,
yet
for
al
that
they
liue
not
so
longe
〈…〉
of
other
nations
,
their
〈…〉
this
cost
to
theyr
lodgynge
and
by
the
pleasaunt
shadowes
they
are
tempr●●●
.
〈◊〉
must
vnderstand
that
the
caues
of
that
countrey
,
the
whiche
haue
theyr
throtes
towardes
the
Midy
be
as
hote
as
a
furnasse
,
because
of
the
heate
of
the
sonne
,
&
consequently
doth
folow
that
they
be
neuer
inhabited
:
wherfore
almen
of
that
contrey
doth
couer
to
dwell
towardes
the
Septentrion
.
Such
was
the
maner
and
lyuynge
of
the
two
I●thiophages
.
There
restethe
yet
to
speke
of
the
Amazones
whiche
(
as
they
say
)
in
tyme
past
was
of
one
part
of
Aphrique
in
the
contrey
of
●●bie
They
were
women
of
warre
and
of
good
courage
gretly
differryng
frome
the
women
in
our
age
and
tyme
.
A
certeyne
time
of
theyr
age
they
were
accustomed
to
exercyse
the
seate
of
warre
,
and
by
that
kept
theyr
virginitie
.
After
that
they
had
passed
theyr
age
,
as
abouesayd
,
they
maried
husbands
to
encrease
chyldren
.
They
had
the
prehemines
to
gouerne
all
publike
matters
,
for
the
common
weale
was
ruled
by
them
,
in
such
sort
ruled
the
women
,
that
theyr
husbandes
had
the
charge
of
al
the
domestical
affayres
whiche
we
accustomably
commit
to
our
wyues
.
And
the
wiues
to
the
contrary
ruled
as
our
men
do
heare
,
yea
,
so
circumspecte
they
were
,
that
theyr
husbandes
shulde
not
take
in
hande
any
publyke
matter
,
that
they
woulde
not
suffer
theym
once
to
speke
in
causes
touchyng
the
common
weale
.
So
sone
as
they
be
in
theyr
bed
,
theyr
chyldren
be
gyuen
men
to
kepe
,
and
they
to
nourse
them
,
which
infants
be
brought
vp
with
wylke
,
and
other
meates
agreable
for
theyr
age
If
a
woman
had
ben
deliuered
of
a
man
chylde
he
shulde
haue
had
either
his
ryght
arme
broken
or
ben
killed
.
But
if
she
had
brought
forth
a
female
or
woman
chylde
,
they
woulde
burne
her
brestes
with
an
hote
yron
for
to
take
away
al
that
which
might
let
her
in
the
warres
,
and
for
that
cause
they
were
called
with
the
Greekes
Amazones
:
That
is
to
say
,
women
without
brestes
.
They
did
inhabite
(
as
it
is
written
)
in
an
Ilande
called
Hespera
,
which
was
so
named
for
that
it
aprocheth
nygh
the
Occident
,
and
is
within
the
lake
Tritonide
,
nygh
to
the
Ocean
sea
.
That
lake
is
so
called
by
reson
of
the
ryuer
Triton
whiche
passeth
thorowe
the
same
,
beyng
cituated
to
Ethiope
and
to
the
me
unt
Atlas
,
which
is
one
of
the
hygheste
and
wydest
in
all
that
countrey
.
This
Ilande
is
greate
,
replenished
with
trees
,
and
a
bundance
of
frute
In
that
countrey
is
plenty
of
shepe
,
wherwith
most
of
the
people
be
refreshed
and
fedde
.
Wheate
is
vnknowen
to
the
inhabiters
of
that
contrey
,
because
there
neuer
grewe
none
there
.

AFrique
is
ended
on
the
est
part
with
Nilus
and
on
the
other
partes
with
the
sea
.
And
truely
it
is
shorter
than
Europa
,
for
it
is
stretched
contrary
to
no
part
of
Asia
,
&
not
to
the
sea
bankes
of
all
Europia
and
it
is
more
longe
then
broode
&
there
as
it
butteth
vpon
the
fludde
it
is
most
brode
,
and
as
it
procedeth
from
thense
euen
so
rysyng
vp
with
hilles
specially
in
the
middest
it
goeth
on
croked
into
the
west
,
and
sharpeneth
it selfe
easely
,
and
therfore
by
the
way
is
made
by
lyttle
and
little
narower
,
and
there
as
his
end
is
it
is
most
narowe
.
For
so
much
as
is
inhabited
it
is
very
frutful
,
but
for
as
much
as
the
most
partes
of
it
be
vnoccupied
,

eyther
couered
with
baren
landes
,

or
els
be
vexed
with
manye

mischeuous
kyndes
of

it

more

on

gyuen
a

And
aboue
those

whiche
are

by

Aegiptii

a
