Reproduction of the original in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery.
Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

I.
The
Description
of
Ciuita
de
Vecchia
.
CIuita
de
Vecchia
is
an
ancient
Citie
of
the
Popes
,
lying
in
low
ground
,
a
dayes
iourney
from
Rome
by
land
,
this
City
lieth
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
very
strongly
fortified
,
and
planted
with
Ordinance
,
to
the
East
side
a
strong
Castle
,
or
Fort
:
And
also
the
like
vpon
the
West
side
,
in
this
place
the
Popes
Gallies
lie
,
and
shipping
.
For
there
is
a
harbour
,
and
fayre
mould
for
their
safetie
.
For
the
Pope
hath
no
other
place
for
Ships
or
Gallies
but
Rome
,
and
there
none
will
come
vp
but
small
Barkes
,
and
Boates
,
and
such
like
,
by
reason
of
the
shallownesse
of
the
Riuer
.
In
this
Ciuita
de
Vecchia
are
altogether
Romanes
,
wholly
professing
the
Romish
Religion
,
saying
directly
that
the
Pope
is
God
an
earth
,
and
that
he
can
forgiue
any
sinne
whatsoeuer
being
committed
,
which
makes
the
most
part
of
them
,
or
all
,
runne
desperately
into
most
deadly
sinnes
.
For
very
Murther
they
hold
it
no
great
sinne
,
being
committed
,
receiuing
of
the
Popes
pardon
,
or
else
getting
into
some
Monasterie
where
they
may
be
confessed
,
and
absolued
,
whereby
no
Law
can
take
hold
of
them
at
their
comming
forth
,
being
apt
and
readie
within
a
wéeke
,
or
fortnight
after
to
commit
the
like
Murther
,
then
receiuing
the
like
pardon
,
or
absolution
,
as
before
they
had
done
:
and
thus
many
bloodie
minded
men
continue
their
life-time
,
for
it
is
an
easie
matter
for
a
man
to
haue
his
aduersarie
kild
,
or
poysoned
for
money
,
although
his
executioner
neuer
sée
him
till
such
time
as
he
committeth
this
bloudie
déed
,
being
hired
by
another
.
Also
in
this
Countrey
their
women
are
very
lewde
and
wicked
,
for
euen
in
that
ancient
Citie
of
Rome
,
there
are
many
thousands
of
lewd
liuing
women
that
pay
monethly
vnto
the
Pope
for
the
sinnefull
vse
of
their
wicked
bodies
:
some
pay
sixe
Crownes
a
moneth
,
and
so
from
sixe
Crownes
to
one
,
for
they
are
rated
according
to
their
outward
shew
,
and
for
the
no●-payment
of
this
monethly
pay
,
they
shall
haue
their
goods
strained
and
carried
out
of
their
houses
,
or
chambers
,
by
the
Popes
officers
,
and
kept
from
them
till
such
time
as
satisfaction
is
made
to
the
Pope
.
So
it
is
lawfull
for
any
man
to
vse
any
of
these
women
as
his
owne
wife
,
neither
shall
he
be
molested
or
troubled
,
or
otherwise
indangered
,
so
he
escape
secret
occasions
of
danger
,
for
this
woman
will
be
as
dutifull
vnto
him
as
his
seruant
,
alwaies
attending
his
pleasure
for
his
diet
or
any
thing
else
belonging
vnto
him
:
he
giuing
her
content
with
his
purse
;
but
she
not
receiuing
content
may
as
lawfully
arrest
him
,
and
cast
him
into
prison
till
such
time
as
she
doth
receiue
satisfaction
,
being
recouered
by
Law
:
for
they
hold
their
liuings
by
the
Pope
.
Now
as
I
haue
spoken
of
two
deadly
sinnes
wherein
they
excéed
,
so
will
I
speake
of
one
thing
wherein
some
of
them
are
to
be
commended
,
that
is
this
.
If
there
be
any
Christian
,
of
what
Nation
soeuer
,
poore
and
in
distresse
,
making
his
case
knowne
,
and
asking
for
Christs
sake
,
he
shall
be
relieued
,
with
all
those
necessaries
whereof
he
is
destitute
,
as
apparrell
,
meat
,
and
drinke
,
and
some
money
,
though
it
be
but
little
:
if
he
be
sicke
,
then
shall
he
be
put
into
an
Hospitall
,
where
he
shall
be
cho●sely
attended
vpon
,
hauing
good
lodging
,
dai●tie
diet
,
and
comfortable
Phisicke
for
the
r●storing
of
his
health
,
whether
he
be
Papist
or
Protestant
:
but
if
he
be
a
Papist
,
he
shall
be
the
better
vsed
,
and
if
he
be
a
Protestant
they
will
vse
all
meanes
they
can
to
conuert
him
,
but
force
him
to
nothing
at
all
.
In
these
Countries
it
is
dangerous
for
an
Englishman
being
a
Protestant
to
speake
any
thing
against
the
Pope
,
or
his
Religion
,
especially
vnto
another
Englishman
that
is
a
Papist
,
yet
this
English
Papist
will
séeke
all
the
meanes
possible
to
intrappe
the
Protestant
,
and
will
speake
ill
words
of
himselfe
,
to
draw
him
to
the
like
,
but
when
he
hath
made
him
vtter
the
secrets
of
his
heart
,
then
will
he
make
it
knowne
,
and
more
then
the
Protestant
spake
,
to
some
chiefe
man
of
a
Church
,
by
whom
he
shall
be
forced
to
alter
his
Religion
,
or
to
be
burned
,
or
put
in
some
secret
prison
where
he
shall
be
starued
to
death
,
and
this
is
the
manner
and
fashion
in
all
Countries
of
Christendome
within
the
Popes
Jurisdiction
,
not
onely
of
the
treacherie
of
the
English
Papists
,
but
also
of
the
other
deadly
sinnes
which
I
touched
before
,
as
their
murther
and
adultry
:
and
in
like
manner
of
their
generall
compassion
,
to
a
distressed
Christian
.
What
I
haue
héere
written
,
I
speake
not
of
heare-say
,
nor
by
imaignation
,
but
directly
haue
séene
,
and
of
mine
owne
knowledge
you
may
speake
it
,
being
too
long
a
time
amongst
them
,
against
my
will.
II.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
Argeir
.
ARgeir
,
is
a
maruellous
strong
Citie
,
and
gouerned
by
the
Turk
,
lying
vpon
the
side
of
an
vpright
hill
,
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
this
Citie
is
very
strongly
fortified
with
Castels
,
Forts
,
and
platformes
,
with
great
store
of
Ordinance
planted
about
it
,
also
there
are
many
Gallies
belonging
to
this
place
,
which
doe
much
offend
the
Christians
,
in
taking
of
their
ships
,
Tartanes
and
Satties
,
and
other
small
vessels
,
making
all
the
Christians
that
they
take
slaues
,
&
selling
of
them
in
their
markets
like
horses
:
for
according
to
age
and
strength
they
are
prised
.
This
Citie
is
gouerned
by
a
King
,
being
vassall
to
the
great
Turke
.
Also
there
are
great
store
of
Janizaries
in
it
,
to
the
number
of
20.
or
30000.
at
one
time
:
these
Ianizaries
are
chiefe
Souldiers
,
and
gouerned
by
a
Dane
,
which
is
a
generall
vnder
the
great
Turke
.
These
Turks
are
goodly
people
of
parson
,
and
of
a
very
faire
complexion
,
but
very
villains
in
minde
,
for
they
are
altogether
Sodomites
,
and
doe
all
things
contrarie
to
a
Christian
.
For
they
doe
neuer
lye
in
a
bed
,
nor
féede
vpon
a
Table
;
yet
their
féeding
and
diet
is
very
plentifull
,
their
bedding
and
apparrell
is
very
neat
and
costly
,
the
manner
of
their
lodging
is
thus
:
There
is
a
very
faire
table
in
a
roome
,
about
thrée
yards
in
breadth
,
and
as
many
in
length
standing
in
height
one
yard
from
the
ground
,
and
thereon
they
vse
to
spread
a
double
quilt
very
costly
with
many
curious
Cushions
,
in
stead
of
Pillowes
,
whereon
he
lieth
downe
in
his
shirt
,
and
linnen
britches
onely
,
without
any
other
couering
,
by
reason
of
the
heat
of
the
countrey
.
Also
in
the
same
roome
he
hath
another
Table
laid
after
the
same
fashion
very
richly
,
whereon
his
wiues
doe
lie
,
but
she
that
likes
him
best
,
he
will
take
to
accompany
him
for
the
night
.
A
Turke
may
haue
as
many
wiues
as
he
pleaseth
,
so
he
be
able
to
buy
them
,
and
by
the
number
of
his
wiues
,
most
commonly
his
substance
is
knowne
,
for
the
richer
he
is
,
the
more
wiues
he
hath
,
the
poorer
the
fewer
:
yet
neuer
married
to
none
of
them
,
but
onely
the
first
,
but
maintaining
of
them
all
.
It
is
very
dangerous
for
a
Christian
to
be
found
in
the
company
of
any
Turkes
woman
,
for
being
found
together
,
he
shall
be
forced
to
turne
Turke
,
or
else
be
put
to
death
,
and
the
said
woman
also
shall
be
put
into
a
sacke
,
which
being
made
fast
,
she
shall
be
flung
into
the
Sea
,
whether
they
commit
the
sinne
or
not
.
These
Turkes
are
very
zealous
in
their
religion
,
acknowledging
God
;
and
Mahomet
a
soliciter
for
their
sinnes
.
A
Turke
will
kéepe
his
word
if
he
sweares
by
his
head
,
putting
his
hand
vpon
his
forehead
.
In
this
countrey
there
is
great
store
of
gold
and
rich
Marchants
;
the
manner
of
their
Churches
and
comming
to
Prayer
is
thus
.
The
Church
is
very
faire
within
,
with
many
hundreds
of
Lampes
burning
therein
,
all
matted
vnder
foote
,
without
any
kinde
of
picture
,
or
seats
,
also
most
of
them
doe
pray
vpon
Beads
.
In
the
morning
on
the
top
of
the
Church
they
hang
out
a
white
flag
,
and
in
the
after
noone
a
blew
one
for
a
signe
of
their
comming
to
Church
,
then
goeth
eight
or
tenne
of
them
on
the
very
top
of
the
Church
,
and
crie
with
a
loud
voice
.
Volla
,
volla
hamdrulla
and
shalla
,
that
is
to
say
God
,
God
,
helpe
vs
at
thy
pleasure
,
and
this
is
their
ordinary
warning
to
come
to
Church
,
as
we
vse
Bels
in
Christendome
,
for
they
abhorre
the
ringing
of
Bels
,
being
contrary
to
their
Prophets
command
.
A
Turke
chooseth
his
first
wife
after
this
maner
.
He
neuer
séeth
his
wife
till
she
come
to
the
Church
to
be
maried
,
for
the
match
is
made
by
their
friends
,
neither
is
a
Turkish
womans
face
to
be
séene
,
because
their
faces
are
continually
couered
going
through
the
stréets
,
both
young
and
old
:
neither
shall
a
man-childe
after
he
is
tenne
yeeres
old
euer
sée
his
mother
.
A
Turke
is
Circumcised
after
this
manner
.
The
better
Gentleman
he
is
,
the
longer
he
stayes
afore
he
be
Circumcised
,
but
the
time
being
come
,
then
is
he
put
vpon
a
very
faire
white
horse
,
being
very
costly
attired
,
and
before
him
goeth
two
,
or
three
hundreth
by
two
and
two
in
purple
coates
,
bearing
waxe
candles
in
their
hands
,
and
after
them
followeth
a
great
many
playing
on
diffused
Instruments
making
of
a
great
noise
,
then
followeth
a
Bull
couered
with
very
faire
Arras
,
and
his
hornes
gilded
,
and
next
rideth
he
that
shall
be
Circumcised
,
with
all
his
friends
following
,
and
thus
he
rideth
to
the
place
of
Circumcision
,
where
they
cut
off
the
foresa●ne
of
his
yard
,
naming
of
him
Morat
,
Shebane
,
or
Hosan
,
or
some
such
like
name
:
then
will
they
take
the
Bull
,
and
turne
his
head
to
to
the
East-ward
,
then
cut
his
throat
,
saying
,
this
day
wee
haue
done
a
good
déed
,
then
they
cut
the
Bull
in
yeeces
,
and
distribute
it
among
his
friends
,
and
kindred
,
and
so
they
returne
home
where
they
doe
feast
with
great
ioy
.
The
manner
of
a
Christian
turning
Turke
,
is
thus
.
He
is
put
vpon
a
horse
with
his
face
towards
the
tayle
,
and
a
Bow
and
an
Arrow
in
his
hand
,
then
the
picture
of
Christ
is
carried
before
him
with
his
feete
vpwards
,
at
the
which
he
drawes
his
Bow
with
the
Arrow
therein
,
and
thus
he
rideth
to
the
place
of
Circumcision
,
cursing
his
father
that
begate
him
,
and
and
his
mother
that
bore
him
,
his
Country
,
and
all
his
kindred
:
then
comming
to
the
place
of
Circumcision
,
he
is
Circumcised
,
receiuing
a
name
,
&
denying
his
Christian
name
,
so
that
euer
after
he
is
called
a
Runagado
,
that
is
,
a
Christian
denying
Christ
and
turned
Turke
:
of
which
sort
there
are
more
in
Turkie
and
Barbary
then
of
naturall
Turkes
.
The
manner
of
their
iudgement
for
offending
of
the
Law
touching
death
,
eyther
for
theft
or
murther
,
is
thus
:
within
foure
houres
after
he
is
taken
,
he
is
condemned
by
certaine
chiefe
Souldiers
,
and
presently
put
to
death
after
this
manner
,
viz.
ganshed
,
s●aked
or
beat
to
death
.
Their
ganshing
is
after
this
manner
:
He
sitteth
vpon
a
wall
,
being
fiue
fadomes
high
,
within
two
fadomes
of
the
top
of
the
wall
,
right
vnder
the
place
where
he
sits
,
is
a
strong
Iron
hooke
fastned
,
being
very
sharpe
,
then
is
he
thrust
off
the
wall
vpon
this
hooke
with
some
part
of
his
bodie
,
and
there
he
hangeth
sometimes
two
or
thrée
daies
before
he
dieth
.
Staking
to
death
is
thus
:
Around
péece
of
wood
thrée
yards
long
,
and
as
big
as
a
mans
leg
,
being
sharpe
at
one
end
,
is
taken
and
driuen
in
at
the
fundament
of
the
offender
,
and
out
at
his
shoulder
,
and
so
they
let
him
lie
till
he
be
dead
,
which
sometimes
will
not
be
in
a
day
or
two
.
The
manner
of
beating
to
death
is
thus
:
They
take
the
offender
,
and
lay
him
down
vpon
his
backe
,
being
naked
,
and
with
two
double
ropes
,
two
seuerall
men
,
one
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
other
on
the
other
side
of
him
,
beate
on
his
belly
till
he
is
dead
.
But
these
deaths
are
very
seldome
vsed
,
because
they
are
so
fearefull
to
the
offenders
,
yet
I
haue
séene
them
all
executed
.
III.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
Tunys
.
TVnys
is
a
great
Citie
in
Barbary
,
inhabited
by
Moores
,
and
some
Turkes
and
Jewes
.
This
City
is
spacious
,
and
lieth
in
low
ground
,
eight
miles
from
the
Sea
:
there
belongs
to
this
Citie
a
verie
fayre
Castle
,
named
the
Galletta
:
This
Castle
is
very
strong
of
Ord●ance
,
and
gouerned
by
Turkes
:
betwixt
the
Citie
and
this
Castle
lyeth
the
ancient
Citie
of
Carthage
,
sunke
,
by
the
report
of
all
the
Inhabitants
thereabouts
:
but
this
did
I
sée
my selfe
going
vp
to
Tunys
in
a
Boate
,
the
foundation
of
many
houses
for
the
space
of
foure
or
fiue
miles
,
the
water
being
very
cleare
,
and
in
depth
a
fadome
and
a
halfe
.
The
Moores
of
this
Countrey
are
altogether
in
Religion
like
to
the
Turkes
,
and
also
in
habite
:
they
are
verie
light
of
foote
,
and
gallant
horsemen
:
they
cannot
indure
Hogs
flesh
,
nor
the
drinking
of
Wine
,
for
they
drinke
water
altogether
,
except
it
be
sometimes
Aqua-vitae
.
The
manner
of
their
liuing
in
the
Countrey
is
thus
:
They
will
goe
fiue
or
sixe
hundred
together
,
Men
,
Women
,
and
Children
,
with
their
Cammels
,
Asses
,
and
Shéepe
,
together
with
all
their
Poultrie
,
vnder
the
side
of
a
Mountaine
,
where
euery
man
pitcheth
his
Tent
,
liuing
euery
man
to
himselfe
,
hauing
his
Wife
and
Children
about
him
,
with
his
Seruants
and
Cattell
,
thus
many
Tents
are
pitched
together
,
to
the
bignesse
of
a
little
Towne
,
continuing
there
till
such
time
as
their
Cattell
haue
eaten
vp
the
grasse
,
and
then
being
able
to
stay
there
no
longer
,
they
remooue
to
another
place
,
where
they
liue
as
before
they
had
done
:
and
thus
they
doe
spend
their
liues
.
By
reason
the
Countrey
is
continually
hotte
,
their
féeding
is
plentifull
,
but
their
apparrell
poore
and
bare
,
neyther
haue
they
any
,
but
what
they
buy
with
the
increase
of
their
Cattell
,
carrying
them
often
to
the
Townes
,
Cities
,
and
Market
places
néere
,
where
they
haue
sale
for
them
.
These
Moores
are
very
ingenious
people
,
cunning
and
treacherous
.
Now
leaue
we
Tunys
in
the
same
Ship
that
I
came
out
of
England
in
,
named
the
Francis
of
Sal●ash
,
being
bound
to
Syo
within
the
Arches
of
Archipelago
,
and
fraighted
with
Turkish
goods
by
Turkes
,
and
some
Turks
aboord
with
vs
,
for
wée
traded
as
well
with
the
Turke
as
the
Christian
:
but
we
had
not
sailed
aboue
foure
leagues
out
of
our
Port
in
the
night
season
,
but
that
we
were
most
fiercely
set
vpon
by
sixe
of
the
Duke
of
Florence
his
Gallies
,
(
who
being
in
continuall
warre
with
the
Turke
,
tooke
vs
as
a
Turkish
prize
)
which
spit
fire
like
diue●s
,
to
our
great
discomfort
,
but
at
length
couraging
of
our selues
in
Gods
mercies
,
we
continued
fight
with
them
,
to
the
losse
of
many
a
mans
life
of
each
fide
,
but
all
in
vaine
for
vs
,
for
they
were
fortie
for
one
of
vs
,
and
our
Sip
torne
downe
to
the
water
with
their
Ordinance
,
our
mayne
Mast
,
and
missen
Mast
,
shot
by
the
boord
,
the
●●e
end
of
the
Mast
with
all
the
sayles
lying
in
the
Sea
,
the
other
end
aboord
:
thus
were
we
taken
,
and
stript
euery
man
starke
naked
,
and
then
were
we
distributed
,
some
into
one
Gallie
,
and
some
into
another
▪
where
we
had
as
many
Irons
knocked
vpon
vs
,
and
more
,
than
then
we
were
able
to
beare
.
Our
Ship
presently
sent
to
Ligorne
,
being
mended
as
well
as
they
could
,
but
we
in
the
Gallies
,
continued
a
moneth
before
we
came
thither
,
to
the
losse
of
many
of
our
liues
:
but
at
length
comming
thither
▪
as
many
of
vs
as
were
left
aliue
were
thus
intertained
.
We
w●re
all
shauen
both
head
and
beard
,
and
euery
man
had
giuen
him
a
red
coate
,
and
a
red
cap
,
telling
of
vs
that
the
Duke
had
made
vs
all
Slaues
,
to
our
great
woe
and
griefe
:
where
I
continued
eight
yéeres
and
ten
moneths
in
this
slauerie
,
as
in
the
next
discouerie
shall
be
truly
spoken
of
.
IIII.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
Ligorne
.
LIgorne
is
a
Citie
of
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
and
lyeth
in
low
ground
,
hauing
many
towers
without
it
,
standing
in
the
Sea
,
also
to
this
Towne
doth
belong
a
wilde
road
,
and
two
very
faire
moulds
for
the
safetie
of
the
Dukes
Gallies
.
In
the
entrance
of
these
moulds
is
a
very
strong
Castle
with
great
store
of
Ordnance
planted
:
also
the
Towne
is
very
strongly
fortified
,
for
it
is
the
chiefe
garrison
of
the
great
Dukes
,
where
is
continually
great
store
of
Souldiers
in
pay
.
Which
Souldiers
are
alwaies
imployed
in
his
shipping
or
Gallies
,
wherewith
he
doth
more
offend
the
Turke
then
all
Christendome
,
for
they
doe
take
Gallies
and
Carmizals
and
Brigantéens
,
and
Townes
of
the
Turkes
and
Moores
:
possessing
of
Men
,
Women
,
and
Children
,
and
selling
them
in
Markets
,
like
to
Horses
,
Cowes
,
or
Shéepe
,
reseruing
the
strongest
for
his
owne
flauery
:
In
this
place
I
liued
eight
yéeres
,
and
ten
moneths
:
thrée
yéeres
of
this
time
I
liued
in
this
manner
,
from
Sunne
rising
to
Sunne
set
,
chained
in
a
Cart
like
a
horse
,
receiuing
more
blowes
then
any
Cart-horse
in
England
,
our
diet
being
Bread
and
Water
,
and
not
so
much
Bread
in
thrée
daies
as
we
might
haue
eaten
at
once
,
thus
we
were
vsed
to
goe
fortie
or
fiftie
Carts
together
,
being
all
slaues
:
our
lading
would
be
Sand
,
or
Lyme
,
or
Bricke
,
or
some
such
like
,
and
to
draw
it
whither
the
Officers
appointed
vs
,
for
their
buildings
.
These
Italians
are
very
deceitfull
people
,
for
when
they
laugh
in
a
mans
face
,
they
will
séeke
to
kill
him
,
yet
they
are
very
cowards
being
naturall
Italians
:
their
women
are
altogether
wicked
and
lewde
.
Thrée
yéeres
being
spent
in
this
manner
:
all
we
English
▪
men
were
called
as
many
as
were
left
aliue
,
making
choise
of
the
ablest
of
vs
to
goe
into
the
Gallies
,
of
which
I
was
one
chosen
,
then
did
my
miserie
increase
many-fold
,
for
then
I
was
made
a
Gally
▪
slaue
to
row
at
an
Oare
,
where
our
former
diet
lessened
▪
but
blowes
increased
,
to
the
losse
of
many
of
our
liues
.
We
were
shauen
Head
and
Beard
euery
eight
or
tenth
day
,
being
alwaies
naked
,
but
onely
a
payre
of
linnen
bréeches
and
chaines
continually
.
In
this
time
I
was
at
the
taking
of
many
a
Towne
and
Gally
of
the
Turkes
,
though
sore
against
my
will
,
séeing
of
many
Cities
,
Ilands
,
and
mayne
Lands
in
the
time
of
my
slauerie
,
where
I
continued
sixe
yéeres
a
Gally-slaue
,
finding
in
all
this
time
much
comfort
and
reliefe
from
English
Marchants
that
were
Protestants
,
and
also
from
many
English
Masters
and
owners
of
Ships
.
But
from
English
men
being
Papists
none
at
all
.
The
miserie
of
the
Gallies
doth
surpasse
any
mans
iudgement
or
imagination
,
neyther
would
any
man
thinke
that
such
torture
,
or
torment
were
vsed
in
the
world
,
but
onely
they
that
féele
it
,
the
extreamitie
of
miserie
causeth
many
a
slaue
to
kill
themselues
,
or
else
séeke
to
kill
their
Officers
;
but
we
were
not
suffered
to
haue
so
much
as
a
knife
about
vs
,
yea
if
we
had
gotten
one
by
any
extraordinarie
meanes
,
and
offered
any
violence
to
any
Officer
,
we
should
presently
haue
lost
our
nose
and
eares
,
and
receiued
a
hundred
blowes
en
our
bare
backe
,
and
a
hundred
on
our
belly
with
a
double
rope
,
or
a
Buls
pis●e
,
continuing
a
slaue
still
:
But
I
intreated
the
Almightie
God
to
grant
me
grace
that
I
might
indure
it
patiently
,
that
féeling
that
extreamitie
in
bodie
in
this
world
,
how
farre
would
the
torments
of
hell
haue
surpassed
and
excéeded
it
,
if
I
had
in
this
my
earthly
torture
béene
accessary
to
mine
owne
death
,
as
many
were
.
But
at
length
God
of
his
great
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
deliuered
me
(
according
to
my
hope
)
in
this
manner
.
The
great
Duke
fitted
a
ship
▪
a
Tartane
and
a
Frigot
,
being
very
well
appointed
and
victualled
,
dispesing
of
them
into
the
West
Indies
,
and
chiefely
for
the
Kiuer
of
the
Amazons
,
appointing
Captaine
Robert
Thornton
,
an
Englishman
to
be
chiefe
Commaunder
of
the
Ship
,
the
Tartane
and
the
Frigot
:
so
likewise
was
euery
other
Officer
appointed
by
the
Duke
himselfe
;
insomuch
as
speaking
of
the
placing
of
a
Phisition
,
a
Surgion
,
and
a
Surgions
mate
,
Captaine
Thornton
standing
by
,
said
,
your
Highnesse
may
doe
well
to
deliuer
a
poore
Englishman
that
hath
continued
a
great
while
in
your
Gallies
:
hée
is
well
experimanted
in
P●●sicka
,
and
Surgery
,
by
reason
of
his
long
practise
both
by
Sea
an
Land
:
he
is
hardned
to
the
Sea
,
and
able
to
discharge
the
place
better
then
the
thrée
before
mentioned
:
for
in
the
Gallies
he
doth
your
Highnes
but
the
labour
of
one
slaue
:
whereupon
the
Duke
demaunded
my
name
.
Captaine
Thornton
answered
,
and
said
,
William
Dauies
:
whereto
the
Duke
replied
,
I
haue
often
béene
spoken
to
for
that
fellow
,
whose
liberty
now
I
giue
vpon
thy
good
report
,
Thornton
,
but
yet
I
doubt
his
vsage
hath
béene
so
hard
in
my
Countrey
,
that
as
soone
as
hée
is
out
of
chaynes
,
he
will
giue
me
the
slip
and
not
goe
the
voyage
into
the
In●ies
with
thée
.
But
if
he
can
giue
fiue
hundred
Crownes
securitie
to
goe
the
voyage
,
hée
shall
be
released
presently
out
of
chaynes
:
neyther
shall
hée
want
any
thing
that
is
needfull
for
the
voyage
,
●or
the
good
of
all
the
Company
,
or
for
his
owne
bodie
,
and
this
let
him
vnderstand
as
soone
as
may
be
:
which
newes
came
within
two
dayes
vnto
me
,
to
my
great
reioycing
&
comfort
,
but
as
soone
as
I
heard
it
,
I
sodainly
sate
down
,
being
at
my
ol●
profession
,
carrying
of
durt
,
and
stone
,
and
such
like
in
a
basket
,
and
would
worke
no
longer
,
neyther
suffer
the
slaue
to
worke
that
was
chayned
vnto
mée
,
but
as
soone
as
I
was
espied
,
one
of
the
Masters
of
the
worke
came
to
mée
,
and
said
thou
Lutheran
Dogge
:
Why
workest
thou
not
?
and
with
that
strake
me
with
a
Cudgell
,
whereto
the
slaue
that
was
chayned
with
me
,
replied
.
The
Duke
hath
giuen
him
his
libertie
:
then
said
hée
that
had
stroken
mée
,
Master
,
I
beseech
you
forgiue
mée
,
and
excuse
my
rashnesse
,
doubting
that
I
should
haue
remembred
his
former
courtesies
being
at
libertie
.
And
within
a
short
time
after
Captaine
Thorneton
came
from
Florence
to
Ligorne
,
where
I
was
,
who
then
tolde
mee
the
Dukes
disposition
to
the
full
,
and
vpon
what
securitie
I
should
be
deliuered
:
which
securitie
I
did
sodainely
procure
by
an
English
Marchant
,
whose
name
was
Maister
William
Mellyn
,
of
Bristow
,
who
passed
his
Band
for
fiue
hundred
Crownes
to
the
Duke
,
for
the
performance
of
the
voyage
by
mée
:
Whereupon
I
was
sodainely
released
out
of
chaynes
,
to
my
great
reioycing
,
giuing
God
thankes
for
his
blessings
.
Then
was
I
presently
well
apparrelled
by
Captaine
Thorneton
,
and
this
Marchant
,
wanting
nothing
whereof
I
was
destitute
:
But
within
two
or
three
dayes
after
I
was
sent
for
,
by
the
great
Duke
,
to
come
vnto
him
to
Archemeyne
,
where
then
hée
continued
,
whither
sodaynely
I
repayred
,
and
comming
to
the
Dukes
presence
,
doing
my
dutie
,
he
said
vnto
me
,
be
of
good
comfort
I
haue
giuen
thée
grace
,
with
thy
liberty
,
neyther
shalt
thou
want
any
thing
for
the
fitting
of
thy
voyage
,
or
néedful
for
thy
owne
bodie
,
therefore
speake
boldly
,
and
demaund
any
thing
that
shall
be
necessary
,
and
I
will
haue
thée
well
fitted
:
for
the
great
Duke
of
Florence
wants
no
money
.
Then
he
demaunded
of
me
further
what
I
was
in
mine
owne
Countrey
,
whither
I
was
a
Gentleman
or
no.
I
answered
his
highnesse
I
was
:
then
he
asked
me
how
?
I
told
him
my
father
was
a
Gentleman
,
and
for
my
part
I
had
serued
my
Quéene
by
Lano
and
by
Sea
,
against
the
aduersaries
of
my
Quéene
and
Countrey
,
and
had
lost
mine
owne
bloud
,
and
spilt
my
enemies
bloud
:
and
next
that
I
was
a
Gentleman
by
Art.
Then
the
Duke
answered
and
said
:
Thou
art
a
worthy
fellow
,
for
thou
hast
indured
much
miserie
in
this
world
.
But
tell
me
,
quoth
hée
,
with
what
substance
of
wealth
camest
thou
out
of
thy
Countrey
:
I
answered
with
two
purses
full
:
Full
said
hée
,
of
what
?
I
said
of
Siluer
and
Gold
,
which
I
lost
when
I
was
taken
by
his
Highnes
Gallies
,
and
the
other
full
of
Patience
,
which
doth
continue
full
still
:
Then
said
the
Duke
to
one
that
stoode
by
,
giue
him
a
hundred
Crownes
to
spend
to
strengthen
himselfe
,
and
bring
himselfe
to
courage
;
thus
did
the
Duke
take
delight
in
discoursing
with
me
,
in
respect
I
spake
the
Italian
tongue
very
perfectly
,
for
I
bought
it
déere
,
with
many
a
droppe
of
my
bloud
,
in
the
time
of
my
slauerie
.
Then
receiuing
this
hundred
Crownes
,
which
the
Duke
had
giuen
me
,
I
left
his
Court
,
comming
presently
to
Ligorne
,
where
the
Ship
lay
,
indeauoring
of
my selfe
,
by
my
labour
,
and
industrie
,
for
the
fitting
of
all
things
necessary
for
the
good
of
the
Uoyage
,
vpon
the
Dukes
charge
,
besides
this
hundred
Crownes
:
for
they
were
giuen
mée
to
spend
at
my
owne
pleasure
,
which
I
did
,
to
the
comfort
of
many
English-men
that
lay
in
chaines
,
that
were
taken
with
mée
:
they
wanted
neyther
meate
nor
drinke
as
long
as
my
money
lasted
,
as
many
of
them
as
were
left
aliue
,
for
of
seuen
and
thirtie
of
vs
that
were
taken
at
the
first
,
there
remayned
then
but
thirtéene
,
whereof
tenne
continued
in
chaines
,
and
two
were
deliuered
with
me
.
By
this
time
all
things
were
prepared
and
made
readie
for
the
performance
of
our
pretended
Uoyage
,
now
being
bound
to
serue
in
the
good
Ship
called
the
Santa
Lucia
,
with
a
Frigot
,
and
a
Tartane
,
well
victualled
,
and
well
manned
,
and
chiefely
bound
to
the
Riuer
of
Amazones
,
with
other
seuerall
Riuers
,
the
which
the
Duke
would
haue
inhabited
,
hoping
for
great
store
of
gaine
of
Gold
,
but
the
Countries
did
affoord
no
such
thing
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
spoken
of
.
Upon
this
Uoyage
we
were
fouretéene
moneths
,
making
little
gaine
,
or
benefit
for
the
Duke
,
for
there
was
nothing
to
be
gained
.
Now
are
we
homewards
bound
,
and
recouering
the
straits
againe
,
&
being
within
three
or
foure
dayes
sayle
of
our
owne
Port
,
Ligorne
:
in
the
night
season
we
met
with
an
English
Pirate
,
who
would
haue
taken
vs
,
but
was
not
able
,
yet
held
vs
fight
all
the
whole
night
,
and
kild
vs
a
man
,
and
hurt
other
two
:
whereof
one
was
an
Englishman
,
who
died
within
two
dayes
after
we
recouered
Ligorne
,
and
being
dead
I
went
to
the
Captaine
and
demaunded
of
him
where
he
should
be
buried
,
but
he
●ad
him
goe
aske
of
one
father
Sherwood
an
Englishman
,
so
he
told
mée
that
if
he
were
a
Romane
Catholike
they
would
burie
him
in
the
Church
,
but
if
he
were
not
,
I
should
bury
him
out
in
the
fields
:
But
yet
for
my
better
assurance
I
went
and
asked
of
the
Friers
of
the
Misericordia
,
who
also
gaue
their
aduise
,
and
counsell
that
he
should
be
buried
in
the
fields
,
because
he
was
no
Romane
Catholike
,
whereupon
I
buried
him
in
this
manner
.
I
intreated
the
company
of
many
Englishmen
that
were
Protestants
to
helpe
me
to
shroud
him
,
and
also
to
accompany
me
to
the
burying
of
him
,
which
they
did
in
this
manner
.
We
put
him
vpon
a
Beare
,
being
shrowded
with
a
couering
ouer
him
,
and
carried
by
foure
men
,
many
Englishmen
that
were
Protestants
followed
him
,
bearing
euery
man
a
branch
of
Rosemary
in
his
hand
to
the
place
where
we
buried
him
,
reading
Prayers
ouer
him
after
the
English
manner
.
His
name
that
was
buried
was
Erasmus
Lucas
,
and
borne
in
Southwarke
néere
vnto
London
.
Two
daies
being
spent
after
his
buriall
,
&
was
sought
for
by
an
Italian
Fryer
,
who
finding
of
me
,
demaunded
of
me
my
name
,
which
presently
I
told
him
,
then
he
replied
,
thou
art
he
that
I
looke
for
,
for
thou
hast
buried
a
good
Christian
,
and
a
Romane
Catholike
out
in
the
fields
,
like
to
a
Dog
and
a
Lutheran
as
thou
art
thy selfe
:
therefore
I
charge
thée
in
the
Dukes
name
to
goe
along
with
mée
,
which
command
I
durst
not
denie
,
but
went
with
him
,
where
he
brought
me
before
thrée
or
foure
aged
Friers
of
the
Inquisition
,
&
they
asked
of
me
whether
I
were
that
Lutheran
that
buried
a
good
Christian
in
the
fields
,
for
he
was
a
Romane
Catholike
,
and
confest
,
and
receiued
the
Sacrament
like
to
a
good
Christian
,
and
therefore
thou
shalt
be
burned
,
for
thou
hast
done
contrary
to
the
Law
of
Rome
.
I
answered
that
I
had
buried
a
good
Christian
,
but
not
a
Romane
Catholike
,
neither
was
he
confest
,
nor
receiued
the
Sacrament
:
they
replied
,
if
this
be
not
true
which
thou
hast
said
thou
shalt
surely
die
for
it
.
Therefore
take
him
,
and
put
him
into
the
secret
,
whither
vnto
I
was
brought
,
which
is
a
prison
in
this
manner
:
Many
double
doores
being
opened
,
I
passed
through
two
or
thrée
outward
prisons
then
comming
to
the
doore
of
the
secret
,
whereinto
I
was
thrust
,
it
was
so
darke
that
I
could
sée
no
part
of
my
body
,
then
féeling
round
about
me
with
my
hands
,
I
found
it
to
be
very
short
in
length
,
&
lesse
in
breadth
,
but
of
height
I
know
not
how
high
,
because
I
could
neither
sée
nor
féele
the
top
.
In
this
place
I
was
almost
ouer
shoes
in
the
filth
of
other
men
that
had
died
there
before
,
who
neuer
liued
aboue
eight
or
ten
daies
there
at
the
most
:
Then
wrapping
one
arme
within
another
,
and
leaning
against
the
wall
,
calling
to
minde
Iobs
miseries
and
Daniels
afflictions
amidst
the
Lions
,
and
incouraging
my selfe
in
Gods
mercy
,
sung
a
Psalme
very
chéerefully
to
the
praise
and
glory
of
God
,
wherein
I
was
greatly
comforted
.
Then
did
I
draw
off
my
shoes
and
stockings
,
&
with
my
bare
féete
swept
all
the
trash
and
filth
into
one
corner
.
In
this
manner
I
liued
fortie
houres
before
any
sléepe
possest
me
,
and
then
being
desirous
of
sléepe
,
I
sate
downe
and
leaned
my
head
against
the
wall
,
and
slept
very
soundly
,
being
altogether
comforted
with
a
liuely
hope
in
the
Almighty
God
,
that
he
would
deliuer
me
(
according
to
my
trust
)
as
he
had
done
before
.
And
when
most
extreames
would
oppresse
me
,
then
would
I
be
most
ioyfull
,
finding
alwaies
an
inward
motion
,
saying
,
be
of
good
comfort
,
the
Lord
will
deliuer
thée
:
In
this
manner
I
liued
sixtéene
daies
,
my
food
being
bread
&
water
,
and
my
lodging
vpon
the
cold
stones
,
and
being
yet
aliue
,
they
held
it
a
miracle
that
I
should
liue
there
so
long
,
saying
,
this
Lutherane
hath
a
Lions
heart
,
for
we
neuer
knew
any
to
liue
aboue
ten
daies
,
wherfore
let
vs
haue
him
forth
to
be
examined
.
Then
was
I
brought
before
the
high
Inquisitioner
,
who
demanded
of
me
,
whether
he
that
I
buried
had
receiued
the
Sacrament
&
confest
,
according
to
the
Romane
order
or
no
,
I
answered
no
;
he
was
a
good
Christian
,
but
receiued
not
the
Sacrament
,
nor
was
not
confest
,
after
the
order
of
Rome
:
then
he
said
that
he
was
,
by
a
Frier
of
the
Mesericordia
,
&
therefore
thou
shalt
be
burned
.
Then
I
intreated
that
I
might
but
speake
,
and
he
said
speake
on
:
then
I
asked
them
this
,
whether
the
Frier
that
confest
him
could
speak
any
English
or
no
,
he
answered
that
he
could
speake
none
:
then
tell
me
quoth
I
,
how
an
Italian
Frier
(
can
confesse
an
Englishman
speaking
no
English
,
nor
the
Englishman
speaking
no
Italian
,
nor
other
language
but
his
mother
tongue
?
for
you
know
wel
there
must
be
no
interpreter
in
confession
,
&
if
the
Sacrament
were
ministred
vnto
him
,
the
house
where
he
died
can
iustifie
it
.
Then
the
Inquisitioner
hearing
this
,
scratched
his
head
,
saying
,
this
fellow
hath
spoken
the
truth
,
wherfore
take
him
and
put
him
out
into
a
large
prison
,
whether
I
was
brought
,
where
I
liued
ten
wéeks
being
well
,
and
often
relieued
by
English
Protestants
,
who
reioyced
much
to
see
me
aliue
.
These
malicious
Friers
,
there
reason
wherefore
they
sought
my
life
was
,
because
they
would
haue
the
dead
mans
pay
to
themsel●es
,
which
if
he
had
béene
a
Roman
Catholik
had
bin
their
due
,
&
in
respect
he
was
not
,
they
mist
of
the
pay
,
&
of
their
wicked
pretence
against
me
,
(
God
I
giue
him
thanks
)
by
reason
I
could
speak
the
Italian
tongue
,
for
if
I
had
had
an
interpreter
in
this
,
though
my
cause
was
iust
,
yet
I
had
surely
died
.
Ten
wéeks
being
spent
in
this
prison
,
it
was
the
fortune
of
one
M.
Richard
Row
of
Milbrooke
,
in
the
countie
of
Cornwel
,
to
ariue
at
Ligorne
,
in
the
good
ship
called
the
Portion
he
being
owner
&
Marchant
of
the
said
ship
,
&
one
day
comming
to
the
Prison
grate
demaunded
of
me
what
Countrey-man
I
was
,
I
told
him
I
was
borne
in
the
Citie
of
Hereford
.
He
asked
my
name
:
I
answered
William
Dauies
.
Said
he
,
know
you
one
Master
Dauies
in
Plymmouth
.
I
said
I
was
an
vnfortunate
brother
of
his
.
With
that
he
was
very
sorely
grieued
,
in
respect
he
knew
my
brother
very
well
,
and
loued
him
directly
,
and
told
me
if
all
the
meanes
that
he
could
vse
could
deliuer
me
,
he
would
:
therefore
said
hée
,
thinke
with
your selfe
,
how
I
may
deliuer
you
,
and
I
will
be
backe
againe
with
you
within
these
two
or
thrée
houres
:
whereupon
he
deliuered
me
sixe
Crownes
,
and
bid
me
spare
for
no
money
,
for
he
knew
my
brother
would
repay
it
againe
:
then
leauing
me
,
I
sate
downe
and
leaned
my
head
vpon
my
hand
,
setting
my
elbow
vpon
my
knée
,
intreating
my
Almightie
God
,
to
shew
me
some
direct
course
whereby
I
should
be
deliuered
.
Then
presently
came
into
my
head
,
to
send
for
a
Frenchman
,
in
whose
house
I
had
alwaies
layne
before
,
who
presently
came
vnto
me
,
vnto
whom
I
imparted
my
minde
,
telling
of
him
that
if
he
would
faine
a
matter
of
debt
against
me
,
I
would
giue
him
ten
Crownes
for
his
labour
,
though
I
ought
him
nothing
:
but
he
answered
and
said
it
was
dangerous
,
for
it
was
a
Gally-matter
,
but
I
vewed
it
should
neuer
be
made
knowne
by
me
:
Whereupon
he
gaue
consent
,
and
went
to
the
Gouernour
and
told
him
,
that
in
the
Prison
where
debters
are
,
there
is
an
Englishman
who
oweth
me
money
,
and
we
were
agréed
,
then
said
the
Commissarie
if
thou
art
content
,
let
him
pay
the
charge
of
the
house
,
and
be
gone
:
which
charge
I
paid
presently
,
and
was
fréed
,
departing
away
with
the
Frenchman
,
and
brought
him
to
Master
Hunts
house
,
the
English
Counsell
,
where
I
gaue
him
his
tenne
Crownes
.
So
leauing
one
another
,
I
went
presently
aboord
of
Master
Rowes
Ship
,
being
then
bound
for
Naples
,
vnto
which
place
wée
came
,
whose
description
followeth
.
V.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
Naples
.
NAples
is
a
famous
and
most
worthy
Citie
very
spatious
,
standing
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
meruailous
strongly
fortified
and
planted
with
Ordnance
,
in
many
seuerall
Castles
,
Bulwarks
,
Forts
,
and
such
like
:
Also
to
this
Citie
doth
belong
many
Gallies
,
and
very
good
shipping
,
and
continually
great
store
of
shipping
rides
before
it
,
this
Citie
lies
in
the
Land
of
Calabria
,
and
is
gouerned
by
a
Vice-Roy
,
vnder
the
King
of
Spayne
:
also
there
are
many
Souldiers
in
Garrison
,
being
all
Spaniards
.
The
King
of
Spayne
maintaynes
many
P●nti●ners
there
.
In
this
Citie
they
speake
seuerall
Christian
languages
,
because
there
are
of
all
Nations
in
Christendome
but
principally
Italians
,
and
Spanyards
.
The
Neopolitans
are
very
proud
,
and
of
a
leftie
spirit
,
being
for
the
most
part
very
rich
,
and
costly
attired
,
and
most
commonly
well
furnished
inwardly
with
their
Countrey
disease
.
They
are
altogether
Papists
,
and
their
women
very
audacious
,
especially
in
the
sinfull
vse
of
their
bodies
,
by
reason
they
haue
as
well
their
pardon
as
priuiledge
from
Rome
.
In
this
Citie
it
is
verie
dangerous
to
walke
by
night
,
for
a
man
may
sodainly
be
kild
for
the
cloathes
on
his
backe
,
whither
hée
be
poore
or
rich
.
In
this
place
are
alwaies
great
store
of
Marchants
and
Lidgers
of
seuerall
Countries
,
as
specially
English
,
Dutch
,
Greekes
,
Italians
,
Uenetians
,
French
,
Spaniard
,
Jew
,
with
many
other
Christian
Nations
.
The
chiefe
commoditie
that
these
Merchants
deale
in
,
is
●aw
▪
Silke
,
or
Silke
wrought
,
eyther
into
Sattens
,
Taffities
,
Grograms
,
and
diuers
other
silke
stuffes
,
Silke
stockings
,
Laces
of
all
sorts
,
&
Garters
of
seuerall
sorts
.
In
this
place
I
haue
béene
diuers
times
,
and
neuer
found
any
thing
note-worthy
,
but
onely
one
,
which
was
this
.
A
mine
vnderneath
a
great
Mountaine
about
a
mile
or
thereabouts
in
length
.
This
vault
was
digged
by
the
industrie
of
men
for
a
passage
from
the
Citie
to
an
Iland
called
N●●●ta
,
where
all
shipping
doth
stop
before
they
come
to
the
Citie
;
The
reason
wherefore
this
passage
was
inuented
,
is
because
the
mountaine
ouer
it
is
so
sléepe
that
there
was
no
passage
ouer
it
,
except
they
would
goe
twentie
miles
about
,
but
now
Coaches
,
Wagons
Carts
,
horse
or
foote
may
passe
as
smoothly
through
as
in
a
plaine
way
,
continually
hanging
within
it
great
store
of
Lampes
:
this
vault
is
in
height
about
fiue
fadame
,
and
foure
in
breadth
,
it
is
named
the
Grout
,
&
by
common
report
one
Virgil
a
learned
man
was
the
Author
of
it
,
whose
Tombe
is
aloft
in
each
end
of
it
,
hauing
a
Lampe
hanging
continually
before
it
:
Through
this
place
I
haue
oft
and
many
times
passed
:
and
therefore
vpon
my
owne
knowledge
I
can
assure
what
I
haue
written
.
V.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
the
Riuer
of
Amazons
.
THe
Riuer
of
the
Amazons
lieth
in
the
highest
part
of
the
West
Indies
,
beyond
the
Equinoctiall
line
;
to
fall
with
this
Riuer
fortie
leagues
from
Land
you
shall
haue
eight
,
sixe
,
and
seauen
fadome
water
,
and
you
shall
sée
the
Sea
change
to
a
ruddie
colour
,
the
water
shall
grow
fresh
,
by
these
signes
you
may
run
in
boldly
your
course
,
and
comming
néere
the
Riuers
mouth
,
the
depth
of
your
water
shall
increase
,
then
you
shall
make
discouery
of
the
trées
before
the
land
,
by
reason
the
land
is
very
low
,
and
not
higher
in
one
place
then
another
thrée
●oote
,
being
at
a
spring
tide
almost
all
ouer
flowne
,
God
knowes
how
many
hundred
leagues
.
It
flowes
much
water
there
with
a
very
forcible
tide
.
In
this
Riuer
I
continued
ten
wéekes
,
seeing
the
fashion
of
the
people
and
countrey
there
:
This
Countrey
is
a
together
full
of
woods
,
with
all
sorts
of
wilde
beasts
,
as
Lions
,
Beares
,
Wolues
,
Leopards
,
Baboones
,
●range
Bores
,
Apes
,
Monkies
,
Martyns
,
Sanguins
,
Marmosets
with
diuers
other
strange
beasts
:
also
these
woods
are
●ull
of
wilde-fowle
of
all
sorts
,
and
Parats
more
plentifull
then
Pigeons
in
England
,
and
as
good
meat
,
for
I
haue
often
eaten
of
them
.
Also
this
Countrey
is
very
full
of
Riuers
,
hauing
a
King
ouer
euery
Riuer
.
In
this
place
is
continuall
tempests
as
lightning
,
thunder
,
and
rayne
,
and
so
extreame
,
that
it
continues
most
commonly
sixtéene
or
eightéene
houres
i●
foure
and
twentie
.
There
are
many
standing
●●ters
in
this
Countrey
,
which
be
full
of
Aligators
,
G●●●es
,
with
many
other
seuerall
water
Serpents
,
and
great
store
of
fresh
fish
,
of
strange
fashions
.
This
Countrey
is
full
of
Muskitas
,
which
is
a
small
Fl●e
,
which
much
offends
a
stranger
comming
newly
into
the
Countrey
.
The
manner
,
fashion
,
and
nature
of
the
people
is
this
:
They
are
altogether
naked
,
both
men
and
women
,
hauing
not
so
much
as
one
three●
about
them
to
couer
any
part
of
their
nakednesse
,
the
man
taketh
a
round
Cane
as
big
as
a
penny
candle
,
and
two
inches
in
length
,
through
the
which
he
puls
the
fore-skin
of
his
yard
,
tying
the
skin
with
a
péece
of
the
rinde
of
a
tree
about
the
bignesse
of
a
small
packethréed
,
then
making
of
it
fast
about
his
middle
,
he
continueth
thus
till
he
haue
occasion
to
vse
him
.
In
each
eare
he
weareth
a
Réed
or
Cane
,
which
he
bores
through
it
,
about
the
bignesse
of
a
Swans
quill
,
and
in
length
halfe
an
inch
,
and
the
like
through
the
midst
of
the
lower
lip
:
also
at
the
bridge
of
the
nose
he
hangs
in
a
Reed
a
small
glasse
Bead
or
Button
,
which
hanging
directly
afore
his
mouth
,
flies
too
and
fro
still
as
he
speaks
,
wherein
he
takes
great
pride
and
pleasure
.
He
weares
his
hayre
long
,
being
rounded
below
to
the
nether
part
of
his
eare
,
and
cut
short
,
or
rather
as
I
iudged
pluckt
bald
on
the
crowne
like
a
Frier
.
But
their
women
vse
no
fashion
at
all
to
set
forth
themselues
,
but
starke
naked
as
they
were
borne
,
with
haire
long
of
their
heads
,
also
their
breasts
hang
very
low
,
by
reason
they
are
neuer
laced
or
braced
vy
:
they
do
vse
to
annoynt
their
bodies
,
both
men
and
women
,
with
a
kinde
of
red
earth
,
because
the
Muskitas
or
Flies
shal
not
offend
them
.
These
people
are
very
ingenious
,
craftie
▪
and
treacherous
,
very
light
of
foote
,
and
good
Bowemen
,
whose
like
I
haue
neuer
seene
,
for
they
doe
ordinarily
kill
their
owne
foode
,
as
Beasts
,
Fowle
,
and
Fish
,
the
manner
of
their
Bow
and
Arrowes
is
this
.
The
Bow
is
about
two
yards
in
length
,
the
Arrow
seauen
foot
.
His
Bowe
is
made
of
Brazill
wood
very
curious
,
his
string
of
the
rinde
of
a
Trée
,
lying
close
to
the
Bow
,
without
any
bent
,
his
Arrow
made
of
a
Réed
,
and
the
head
of
it
is
a
fish
bone
,
hée
kils
a
beast
in
this
manner
:
standing
behinde
a
Trée
,
hée
takes
his
marke
at
the
beast
,
and
wounding
him
,
he
followes
him
like
a
Bloud-hound
till
he
fall
,
oftentimes
seconding
his
shoote
:
then
for
any
fowle
be
he
neuer
so
little
,
he
neuer
misses
him
:
as
for
the
first
,
he
walkes
by
the
water
side
,
and
when
he
hath
spied
a
fish
in
the
water
,
he
presently
strikes
him
with
his
Arrow
,
and
sodainly
throwing
downe
his
Bow
,
he
leaps
into
the
water
,
swimming
to
his
Arrow
which
he
drawes
a-land
with
the
fish
fastned
to
it
,
then
hauing
each
kild
his
owne
sood
,
as
well
flesh
,
and
fowle
,
as
fish
,
they
méet
together
,
to
the
number
of
fiftie
or
si●tie
in
a
company
,
then
make
a
fire
after
this
fashion
:
They
take
two
stickes
of
wood
,
rubbing
one
hard
against
another
,
till
such
time
as
they
be
fired
,
then
making
of
a
great
fire
euery
man
is
his
owne
Cooke
to
broyle
that
which
he
hath
gotten
,
and
thus
they
féede
without
Bread
or
Salt
,
or
any
kinde
of
drinke
but
Water
and
Tobacco
,
neither
doe
they
know
what
it
meanes
:
In
these
Countries
we
could
finde
neither
Gold
nor
Siluer
Dare
,
but
great
store
of
Hennes
.
For
I
haue
bought
a
couple
for
a
Jewes
Harpe
,
when
they
would
refuse
ten
shillings
in
mo●ey
.
This
Countrey
is
full
of
delicious
fruit
,
as
●ynes
,
Plantins
,
Euaues
,
and
Potato
rootes
,
of
which
fruits
and
rootes
I
would
haue
bought
a
mans
burthen
for
a
glasse
Button
or
Bead.
The
manner
of
their
lodging
is
this
:
they
haue
a
kinde
of
net
made
of
the
rinde
of
a
Tree
which
they
●●ll

,
being
thrée
fadome
in

and
two
in

and
gathered
at
both
ends
at

,
then
fastning
eyther
end
to
a
Trée
,
to
the
full
length
about
a
yard
and
halfe
from
the
ground
,
when
he
hath

to
sléepe
,
hée
créepes
vnto

The
King
of
euery
Riuer
is
knowne
by
this
manner
.
He
wear●s
vpon
his
head
a
Crowne
of
Parats
feathers
,
of
seue●al●●●o●●s

hauing
eyther
about
his

or
about

chaine
of

teeth
or

or
of
some
other
strange
●●a●●
,
hauing
a
woo●●en
sword
in
his
hand
,
and
hereby
is
he
knowne
to
be
the
King
:
Oftentimes
one
King
warres
against
another
in
their
Canowes
,
which
are
Boats
cut
out
of
a

Trée
,
and
sometimes
taking
one

the
Conquerers
eates
the
Captines

By
this
time
ten
wéeks
were
spent
,
and
being
homewards
bound
,
but
not
the
same
way
that
we
came
,
for
we
sayled
vnto
the
Riuer
before
the
winde
,
because
it
blowes
there
continually
one

which
forces
all

to

The
Description
and
discouery
of
Malta
.
MAlta
is
a
small
Iland
,
very
famous
,
hauing
two
Cities
vpon
it
called
Terra-noua
,
and
Terra-vecha
being
s●ituate
very
néere
one
another
.
This
Iland
is
gouerned
by
a
great
Master
,
who
acknowledgeth
no
Superiour
vpon
earth
,
but
the
Pope
to
be
Supreame
head
of
the
Church
.
The
great
Master
liues
in
Terra-noua
,
which
is
a
great
Citie
,
lying
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
marueilous
strongly
fortified
and
planted
with
Ordnance
the
like
is
not
in
Christendom
,
for
the
Turke
hath
oftentimes
sought
to
take
it
,
with
two
or
thrée
hundred
sayle
of
Gallies
at
a
time
,
but
yet
was
neuer
able
to
take
any
part
of
it
.
To
this
Iland
doth
there
belong
Gallies
,
though
they
be
but
few
,
to
the
number
of
sixe
or
eight
sayle
,
and
also
shipping
,
wherewith
they
doe
much
offend
the
Turke
,
taking
of
them
very
often
,
and
making
them
slaues
:
In
this
Iland
they
hold
the
Romish
Religion
,
both
men
and
women
,
their
women
are
altogether
lasciuious
and
lewdly
giuen
,
but
there
men
are
valiant
,
Gentlemen
,
and
worthy
men
at
armes
:
they
are
of
all
Nations
of
Christendome
,
speaking
generally
all
languages
,
also
they
haue
an
ancient
order
of
Knighthood
,
sworne
by
the
Crosse
of
Saint
Iohn
,
which
is
a
forked
white
Crosse
which
they
weare
vpon
their
breasts
to
be
knowne
to
be
C●u●liers
and
Knights
of
Malta
.
The
manner
of
their
▪
Oath
of
Knighthood
is
this
:
that
they
shall
neuer
marry
,
by
reason
they
shall
neuer
haue
Children
legitimate
:
for
there
are
many
Lords
and
Noble
men
sent
thither
by
their
Uncles
to
be
Knighted
,
because
they
shall
neuer
marry
,
whereby
after
his
death
his
lands
shall
come
to
his
Uncles
issue
,
yet
they
are
suffered
to
haue
as
many
whores
as
they
will.
Another
part
of
their
oath
is
this
.
A
Knight
of
Malta
is
sworne
not
to
stand
in
place
where
two
,
thrée
,
or
foure
are
vpon
one
in
fight
,
but
to
take
the
weaker
part
,
&
to
fight
to
the
last
.
They
are
all
of
bold
courage
,
being
to
the
number
of
fiue
thousand
or
there
abouts
,
in
Malta
and
other
Christian
places
:
another
part
of
their
oaths
is
this
,
by
Land
or
Sea
,
whether
it
be
in
ship
or
Gally
,
they
are
sworne
to
incounter
their
aduersaries
,
though
they
be
thrée
to
one
,
and
neuer
to
yéeld
or
slip
away
,
for
they
are
sworne
to
fight
it
to
the
last
mans
death
:
The
which
oath
they
performe
very
couragiously
,
for
they
are
Gentlemen
of
very
great
respect
,
neyther
will
they
euer
fall
out
amongst
themselues
,
being
forbidden
by
another
part
of
their
oath
.
As
for
their
maintenance
,
the
poorer
sort
haue
a
pention
from
the
great
master
,
which
maintains
him
very
gallant
,
and
the
richer
sort
liue
vpon
their
owne
charge
.
One
thing
there
is
strange
in
that
Iland
,
those
that
are
borne
without
the
cities
speak
altogether
the
Morisco
tongue
,
being
altogether
like
Moores
.
This
Iland
is
very
plentifull
and
fruitful
of
all
things
,
especially
,
Wine
,
Corne
,
Fish
,
Flesh
,
and
Fruits
.
These
Knights
are
very
mercifull
,
hauing
their
aduersaries
prostrate
,
greatly
regarding
their
Oath
.
VIII
.
The
Description
and
discouery
of
Cyprus
.
CYprus
is
a
famous
Iland
of
the
Turks
,
hauing
two
Cities
and
many
Townes
vpon
it
;
The
chiefest
Citie
vpon
it
is
Famagosta
:
this
Citie
lies
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
in
low
ground
,
being
very
strongly
fortified
&
walled
about
,
and
gouerned
by
Turkes
,
holding
their
owne
Religion
,
belieuing
and
confessing
God
the
Father
,
and
their
Prophet
Mahomet
,
doing
all
things
contrary
to
a
Christian
,
yet
though
they
doe
not
acknowledge
Christ
to
be
the
Son
of
God
,
and
a
God
,
yet
they
say
he
is
the
breath
of
God
,
and
by
the
Jewes
put
to
death
,
but
they
doe
not
beléeue
that
he
is
risen
again
.
They
hate
a
Jew
aboue
any
nation
euen
as
they
do
the
diuel
,
neither
do
they
care
to
kill
him
,
no
more
then
they
doe
a
dog
,
oftentimes
killing
them
in
the
very
stréets
vpon
the
least
occasion
,
if
it
be
but
for
touching
his
garment
as
he
passeth
by
him
:
yet
their
liues
many
Jewes
in
all
parts
of
the
Turkes
dominions
,
but
in
this
manner
.
They
will
suffer
neither
man
,
woman
,
nor
childe
to
plucke
vp
their
shoes
on
their
héele
,
if
they
be
Jewes
,
but
goe
alwaies
slipsh●d
and
barelegd
,
wearing
a
blacke
cap
vpon
his
head
,
and
carrying
of
a
buckram
sack
vpon
his
shoulders
empty
,
to
shew
that
he
is
a
Jew
,
&
a
slaue
to
the
world
.
In
this
Iland
of
Cyprus
,
without
the
Cities
and
Towns
,
the
Countrey
is
inhabited
by
Greeks
,
liuing
vassals
to
the
Turks
,
paying
to
the
Turke
the
tenth
of
all
that
they
possesse
,
euen
to
the
tenth
of
their
children
,
if
they
amount
to
that
number
,
and
that
tenth
childe
is
Circumciled
and
made
a
Turke
,
receiuing
an
Osper
a
day
from
the
great
Turke
for
the
first
yéers
,
and
for
the
second
two
,
and
for
the
third
thrée
,
per
diem
,
and
so
his
pay
increaseth
an
Osper
yéerely
as
he
groweth
in
yéeres
,
for
he
is
chosen
from
his
infancy
to
be
a
Souldier
of
the
great
Turkes
,
and
so
shall
all
his
male
children
receiue
the
like
pay
,
and
be
Souldiers
to
the
Turke
:
their
garments
being
welt●d
about
the
necke
with
a
welt
of
purple
silk
,
wherby
they
are
known
from
others
.
This
Osper
is
the
eleueuth
of
a
shilling
English
.
So
that
at
twentie
yéeres
of
age
he
serues
in
the
field
,
his
pay
being
worth
ninteen
pence
a
day
,
and
so
increasing
with
his
yeeres
.
This
Iland
of
Cyprus
is
very
fruitfull
,
hauing
great
store
of
silke
wo●mes
,
which
yéeldeth
them
abundance
of
Silke
.
Also
this
Iland
yéelds
great
store
of
fruits
of
all
sorts
,
and
store
of
Cattell
of
all
sorts
:
Thrée
sorts
of
Beasts
this
Iland
yeeldes
,
which
differ
farre
from
ours
in
England
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
Bu●fella
differs
from
an
Ore
,
their
Cammels
from
our
Horses
,
and
their
Sheepe
from
ours
.
The
Bu●fella
is
a
Beast
after
the
manner
of
an
Ore
,
but
that
hée
is
bigger
,
and
not
so
high
,
nor
so
long
as
the
tallest
of
our
Oxen
,
yet
one
of
them
is
as
strong
as
thrée
of
our
Oxen
,
for
two
of
them
doe
the
labour
of
sixe
Oxen
:
their
hornes
are
flat
,
and
at
mid-day
when
they
vse
to
rest
them
,
they
take
them
,
and
turne
them
into
a
water
,
where
they
will
stand
for
the
space
of
two
houres
couered
quite
ouer
the
backes
in
water
,
then
will
they
yoke
them
and
worke
them
as
fresh
till
night
,
as
they
did
in
the
Morning
,
without
any
bayting
at
all
.
Their
Cammels
is
a
meruailous
tall
beast
,
hauing
a
necke
twise
as
long
as
a
Horse
,
and
a
great
bunch
growing
about
the
middle
of
his
backe
,
as
bigge
as
a
pecke
,
hée
is
clouen
footed
,
and
his
tayle
little
,
and
for
his
strength
he
will
carry
as
much
on
his
backe
as
foure
horses
,
and
continue
with
his
carriage
on
his
backe
thréescore
houres
without
meat
or
rest
.
I
haue
séene
foure
thousand
of
them
laden
at
one
time
with
Merchandise
going
a
very
slow
pace
,
and
nothing
so
fast
as
a
Carriers
horse
,
yet
will
they
continue
that
pace
two
dayes
and
two
nights
together
,
without
any
eating
or
drinking
:
and
when
they
doe
rest
and
féede
,
it
is
but
slender
and
verie
little
,
in
this
manner
:
when
they
come
to
their
resting
place
they
lye
downe
with
their
lading
vpon
their
backes
.
Then
the
Moores
or
Turkes
,
put
a
Ball
made
of
Date
stones
beaten
,
into
euery
one
of
their
mouthes
,
the
pouder
of
the
stones
being
compounded
with
Linséede
Oyle
,
and
the
white
of
Egges
,
which
makes
the
Balls
as
hard
as
Stones
,
and
thus
they
will
liue
and
continue
their
trauaile
sixtéene
dayes
and
nights
together
,
receiuing
the
said
rest
and
reliefe
at
euery
two
dayes
end
.
Their
Shéepe
are
twise
as
bigge
as
ours
in
England
,
but
in
all
fashions
like
our
Shéepe
,
except
the
tayle
,
for
their
tayles
are
meruailous
great
,
broad
,
and
thicke
,
being
very
fat
,
for
I
haue
weighed
many
of
their
tayles
flayed
from
the
Butchers
,
and
they
haue
waighed
ten
,
eleuen
,
and
twelue
pound
waight
,
and
throughout
all
Barbarie
and
Turkie
,
they
haue
plenty
of
these
beasts
,
and
also
all
kind
of
beasts
that
we
haue
in
England
.
There
liue
many
Gréekes
in
all
parts
throughout
the
Turkes
Dominions
,
but
in
great
bondage
and
pouertie
:
they
are
good
Christians
,
abhorring
the
Idolatry
of
Rome
,
and
obseruing
the
same
computation
for
Christmasse
and
other
festiuals
,
that
we
doe
in
England
.
Also
there
are
Jewes
in
all
parts
of
Turkie
and
Barbary
,
and
all
parts
of
Christendome
,
England
excepted
:
yet
though
they
be
thus
dispersed
throughout
most
parts
of
the
world
,
liuing
in
extreame
slauery
,
yet
shall
you
not
see
one
Jew
begge
his
bread
.
One
thing
I
haue
greatly
maruelled
at
,
that
a
Jew
is
respected
more
in
Christendome
,
then
with
the
Turks
:
for
the
Turks
(
as
you
haue
heard
)
detests
him
aboue
any
Nation
,
tying
him
to
a
notable
and
knowne
marke
,
or
manner
of
apparrell
,
and
yeelding
him
no
Law
or
right
,
eyther
against
Turke
or
Christian
:
whereas
,
contrarywise
,
in
Christendome
,
he
is
tyed
to
no
manner
of
weare
,
but
may
goe
in
what
shape
he
lists
:
and
for
Law
,
by
reason
of
his
wealth
,
hee
shall
sooner
haue
right
done
to
him
then
a
Christian
:
wherefore
in
my
minde
,
the
Turke
greatly
in
this
condemnes
the
Popish
Christian
:
for
it
is
an
ordinary
saying
with
them
,
tha●
if
a
Jew
had
put
Mahomet
to
death
,
nay
,
but
touched
the
hem
of
his
garment
violently
,
they
would
not
haue
left
one
of
the
race
of
them
aliue
,
nor
yet
any
thing
,
or
building
vnraced
,
that
might
procure
their
memory
.
But
in
Christendome
they
are
suffered
to
build
Sinagogues
,
and
to
vse
their
Religion
publikely
.
But
I
beseech
the
Almightie
God
that
this
our
Land
of
England
may
neuer
be
defiled
,
eyther
by
Pope
,
Turke
,
or
Jew

The
Description
and
discouery
of
Sicillia
.
SIcillia
is
a
famous
Iland
of
the
Spaniards
,
hauing
many
worthie
Cities
vpon
it
.
This
Iland
is
in
bignesse
seauen
hundred
miles
about
,
very
fruitfull
,
and
plentifull
of
all
things
,
as
Silke
,
Flesh
,
and
Fish
,
Corne
,
Wine
,
and
Oyle
,
with
great
store
of
Fruit.
This
Iland
is
gouerned
by
a
Vizeroy
,
vnder
the
king
of
Spaine
:
his
chiefs
abiding
is
at
Palerm●
,
or
Mercina
,
two
famous
Cittes
,
but
his
chiefest
residence
is
at
Palerma
.
This
City
lyeth
in
low
ground
,
hauing
a
Mountaine
néere
it
,
called
Monta
Pellagrune
.
This
Citie
is
very
populous
,
being
rich
of
Marchandize
and
wealthy
Marchants
.
At
this
Citie
I
haue
beene
very
often
in
the
time
of
my
sla●●●te
in
the
Dukes
Gallies
.
Also
,
néere
this
Citie
there
is
a
Towne
called
Trappany
,
in
which
Towne
there
is
a
Monastarie
,
wherein
they
affirme
that
the
Pillar
of
Salt
that
Lots
Wise
was
turned
vnto
,
comming
out
of
Sodome
is
.
They
professe
the
Romish
Religion
through
out
this
Iland
both
men
and
Women
,
speaking
the
Italian
tongue
generally
,
as
many
as
be
borne
in
the
Iland
,
and
are
called
Sicillianes
.
Mercina
being
another
famous
Citie
,
lyeth
close
vpon
the
Sea
,
and
is
scituated
vpon
high
ground
,
vnder
the
foote
of
a
great
Mountayne
.
This
City
is
strongly
fortified
and
planted
with
O●●●●nce
:
also
there
is
great
store
of
Gallies
and
Shipping
belonging
to
this
place
,
which
doth
much
offend
the
Turke
,
●●t
chiefely
they
are
employed
in
Marchandiye
.
This
high
Mountayne
that
hangs
ouer
the
Citie
is
called
Mungebella
,
and
standeth
in
the
East-part
of
this
Iland
,
the
top
of
it
burning
continually
both
night
and
day
,
and
by
reason
of
the
fiercenesse
of
the
fire
,
hath
consumed
many
Uillages
.
The
reason
of
this
fire
is
a
Brimstone
,
or
a
Sulphure
Mine
,
which
being
high
,
is
(
as
all
men
imagine
)
set
a
fire
by
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
as
the
Iland
Strambula
is
,
which
continually
burneth
:
and
many
other
high
places
more
that
I
haue
séene
,
as
Mount
Aetna
,
the
pike
of
Teneriffe
a
Southward
Iland
,
and
many
others
,
&c.
Unto
this
Citie
Mercina
belongs
a
straight
entrance
by
Sea
,
commonly
called
the
●ale
of
Mercina
it
lyeth
betwixt
the
Land
of
Sicillia
and
Calabria
,
very
dangerous
to
passe
through
for
any
Ship
,
except
they
are
very
well
experimented
.
For
my
part
I
know
this
place
well
,
being
often
there
in
the
●●me
of
my
slauerie
.

The
Description
and
discouery
of
●●ggadore
.
MVggadore
is
an
Iland
of
the
Moores
,
and
lyeth
néere
the
Lan●
o●
●arbary
,
without
the
Straights
,
not
farre
from
the
Lands
of
the
Kings
of
Fesse
and
Morrocco
.
Th●s
Il●nd
is
not
inhabited
,
but
very
barren
,
being
all
Rocks
by
the
〈…〉
side
,
and
very
smoothe
on
the
to●
,
and
full
of
bushes
,
〈…〉
Pidgions
doe
b●eede
in
great
store
:
we
held
it
nothing
〈…〉
〈…〉
sixe
or
eight
in
company
together
into
the
Iland
,
and
〈…〉
〈…〉
the
space
of
thrée
houres
,
twentie
dozens
of
Pidgions
〈…〉
with
vs.
Betwixt
the
Maine
and
this
Iland
there
is
very
good
riding
for
a
Shippe
.
Also
,
the
Moores
will
bring
out
●●
the
Maine
Land
such
Uictuals
as
they
haue
to
re●●●●e
o●r
wants
,
as
Mutton
,
Beefe
,
●c
.
The
Moores
of
this
Countr●●
are
very
deceitfull
and
trecherous
:
their
cloathing
is
but
very
naked
and
thinne
,
for
they
weare
but
one
slat
of
thin●●
F●an●●●
wherewith
they
couer
their
brests
,
backs
and
p●●u●e
parts
and
as
for
their
armes
,
legs
,
and
thighes
,
they
●●e
na●ed
of
them
:
the
sayd
Garment
,
or
piece
of
Flane●l
,
they
call
●
Barnoose
.
In
this
Countrey
of
Barbary
there
is
great
store
of
Sugar-canes
,
and
Sugar
made
,
as
they
in
Braz●e
.
Sometimes
in
this
Countrey
there
is
Amber-grease
found
,
but
the
cunning
of
the
Moores
makes
a
great
deale
counterfaite
.
I
came
to
this
Iland
in
a
Carnell
of
Plymouth
,
Master
Edward
Decon
of
the
saide
Towne
being
Master
of
her
:
Moores
comming
oftentimes
aboord
of
vs
,
where
they
were
kindly
entertayned
;
but
they
returned
our
kindnesse
in
this
manner
▪
Setting
of
the
chiefest
,
with
many
more
of
them
ashorem
our
Boate
,
wherein
sixe
English
men
rowed
them
ashore
▪
they
being
all
a
Land
,
our
Boat
was
aground
,
then
one
of
our
men
stept
out
of
the
Boat
,
vp
to
the
knées
in
water
,
and
by
strength
would
haue
set
the
Boate
off
from
the
Land
,
which
as
●oone
as
they
espyed
him
out
of
the
Boate
,
they
tooke
h●●d
of
him
▪
and
drew
him
a
Land
,
where
they
cut
all
his
cloathes
off
his
backe
,
and
deuided
them
in
péeces
amongst
them
,
carrying
the
man
starke
naked
vp
into
the
Countrey
,
saying
tha●●e
should
neuer
haue
him
againe
except
they
had
twentie
French
Crownes
for
his
ransome
,
which
newes
the
Boace
brought
presently
aboord
,
(
which
being
in
vaine
to
st●●●e
with

gaue
them

and
receiued
the

naked

hauing
no

The
Description
and
discouery
of
Candy
.
CAndy
is
a
famous
Iland
of
the
Venetians
,
very
fruitfull
,
yeelding
great
store
of
Wine
and
Oyle
,
and
all
other
things
plentifull
.
This
Iland
is
very
high
and
long
,
poynting
East
and
West
:
the
North-side
of
it
very
pleasant
,
with
great
store
of
Gardens
and
Uineyards
,
and
such
like
:
but
very
barren
to
the
Southward-side
,
with
great
Rocks
,
Cliffs
,
and
Mountaynes
,
which
part
is
inhabited
by
poore
Gréekes
:
and
also
there
are
many
small
Ilands
vnder
these
Cliffs
,
inhabited
likewise
by
Gréekes
,
as
Christiana
and
Godza
,
with
others
more
.
These
Gréekes
liue
all
together
in
bondage
to
the
Uenetians
.
The
North-side
of
this
Iland
is
inhabited
by
Italians
,
and
some
Jewes
.
There
are
two
very
fayre
Cities
:
(
viz.
)
Candia
,
and
Acony
,
these
Cities
are
inhabited
most
with
Uenetians
,
strongly
fortified
and
planted
with
Ordnance
.
These
Cities
lye
right
against
the
entring
of
the
Arches
of
Appellican
,
which
goeth
to
Constantinople
,
where
the
Great
Turke
continues
,
receiuing
tribute
of
the
Duke
of
Venice
for
this
Iland
,
and
other
parts
,
for
the
Uenetian
is
tributary
to
the
Great
Turke
.
Also
the
Great
Turke
kéepes
him
in
subiection
by
Land
and
Sea
,
neither
dare
the
Uenetian
ioyne
their
forces
with
any
Christian
,
at
any
time
whensoeuer
a
Fléete
of
Gallies
and
Shipps
is
set
forth
against
the
Turke
,
yet
the
Duke
of
Uenice
hath
twise
as
many
Gallies
as
any
Christian
Prince
whatsoeuer
,
which
he
doth
employ
,
some
of
them
in
Marchandize
,
hauing
continuall
trading
both
with
Christian
and
Turke
,
and
some
of
his
Gallies
continually
lieth
about
the
entring
of
the
Gulph
of
Venice
,
about
the
Iland
of
Zant
and
Saphlany
,
and
the
small
Iland
of
the
Strauales
,
and
néere
about
Madona
:
these
parts
doe
they
defend
from
any
Christian
men
of
warre
,
or
Christian
Gallies
,
or
eyther
Gallies
or
Briggantéens
of
the
Turkes
that
shall
approach
néere
vnto
these
parts
,
in
the
manner
and
fashion
of
men
of
Warre
:
and
oftentimes
the
sayd
Gallies
doe
take
both
Christian
and
Turke
,
making
Slaues
of
the
men
,
or
else
chopping
off
of
their
heads
;
for
it
is
lawfull
for
him
so
to
doe
,
by
the
conclusion
betwixt
Him
,
the
Christian
,
and
Turke
,
taking
them
within
twentie
leagues
compasse
of

XII
.
The
Description
of
Morria
.
MOrria
is
a
small
low
Iland
,
lying
in
the
Riuer
of
Amazones
,
the
highest
part
of
the
West
Indies
.
This
Iland
is
altogether
inhabited
by
Women
,
hauing
no
Mankinde
amongst
them
:
they
goe
altogether
naked
,
vsing
Bow
and
Arrowes
for
the
killing
of
their
owne
foode
:
the
hayre
of
their
heads
is
long
,
and
their
Brests
hang
low
:
and
whereas
many
here
in
England
doe
imagine
that
they
haue
the
right
Brest
seared
,
or
cut
off
,
it
is
no
such
matter
as
now
▪
what
hath
béene
in
times
past
I
know
not
:
for
this
of
mine
owne
knowledge
,
I
haue
seene
fortie
,
fiftie
,
or
threescore
of
them
together
,
each
of
them
bearing
Bow
and
Arrowes
in
their
hands
,
going
along
by
the
Sea-side
;
and
when
they
espyed
a
Fish
,
they
shoote
at
it
,
and
strike
it
,
and
so
throwing
downe
their
Bowes
,
they
leap
into
the
water
after
their
Arrowes
,
and
bring
the
Fish
aland
,
fastned
to
the
Arrow
:
and
●o
in
all
other
things
as
well
the
dressing
of
their
meate
,
as
their
lodging
and
customes
,
they
resemble
and
imitate
the
Indians
of
the
Riuer
of
Amazons
,
as
you
heard
before
in
that
discourse
.
But
some
●●
these
Women
doe
vse
to
beare
their
Children
vpon
their
backs
,
in
this
manner
:
They
take
a
yeere
of
the
unde
of
●
Trée
,
and
with
the
one
end
thereof
they
fasten
the
Childes
hunmes
,
and
about
the
arme-pits
and
shoulders
with
the
other
,
and
so
hang
him
on
their
backs
like
a
Tinkers
Budger
,
and
cast
vp
the
brest
to
him
ouer
the
shoulder
.
The
reason
wherefore
this
Iland
is
inhabited
by
Women
onely
,
●s
this
One
Moneth
in
the
yéere
,
the
Men
from
each
side
of
the
Maine
Land
comes
in
their
Canowes
,
ouer
to
the
Iland
,
euery
Man
matching
himselfe
with
a
Woman
,
liuing
there
a
Moneth
:
and
what
men
Children
they
finde
there
,
they
carry
away
with
them
;
and
the
Woman
Children
they
leaue
behinde
with
the
Mothers
.
And
this
is
their
vse
once
a
yéere
,
whereby
this
Iland
is
altogether
inhabited
by
Women
.
There
is
one
thing
more
to
be
wondred
at
,
that
I
haue
also
séene
,
that
is
to
say
,
very
good
Oysters
and
Muskles
growing
vpon
trées
,
for
I
haue
eaten
my
part
of
many
an
hundred
of
them
.
And
for
your
better
vnderstanding
how
they
grow
,
you
shall
know
that
the
Trées
stand
néere
the
Sea
side
,
and
at
euery
full
tyde
the
bowes
hang
into
the
Sea
a
fadome
,
or
a
fadome
and
a
halfe
,
so
that
when
the
tyde
goeth
out
,
they
are
found
hanging
in
great
clusters
vpon
the
branches
,
like
Barnacles
to
the
side
of
a
ship
,
and
at
the
comming
in
of
the
tyde
,
they
receiue
their
moysture
.
FINIS
.
The
Conclusion
of
the
Booke
:
to
the
Reader
.
THus
farre
(
gentle
Reader
)
I
thought
good
,
out
of
my
slender
capacitie
,
to
acquaint
thée
with
a
briefe
and
plaine
discourse
of
my
Trauell
,
which
though
it
be
rude
,
as
comming
from
a
barren
brayne
,
which
professeth
nothing
lesse
then
learning
:
yet
assure
thy selfe
it
containes
vndoubted
truth
,
being
no
more
then
I
haue
séene
,
knowne
,
and
to
my
griefe
and
perill
felt
.
And
if
any
,
as
well
or
better
acquainted
with
these
Parts
,
or
any
of
them
,
whereof
I
make
mention
,
disliking
the
rudenesse
of
my
stile
,
will
vndertake
to
refine
it
,
hée
giues
me
no
discontent
,
so
he
derogate
not
from
the
truth
thereof
.
And
whereas
I
made
promise
in
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
,
in
these
twelue
discourses
,
to
touch
or
speake
something
of
the
rest
of
the
places
,
specified
in
the
Table
,
I
haue
partly
performed
it
:
but
to
haue
written
of
them
at
large
,
would
haue
béene
but
friuolous
and
superfluous
,
partly
because
they
are
places
of
no
extraordinary
note
,
but
specially
because
they
doe
in
most
,
or
all
things
,
agrée
with
the
Countries
to
which
they
are
annexed
,
and
tributaries
,
or
vassalls
:
as
the
Ilands
tributary
to
the
Spaniards
,
follow
their
manner
of
gouernment
,
customes
,
and
orders
.
The
Turkish
tributaries
imitate
them
in
most
things
:
and
so
you
may
iudge
of
the
rest
,
according
as
they
are
seuerally
distinguished
.
And
so
much
may
suffice
to
cléere
that
doubt
.
Now
the
reasons
that
vrged
me
to
publish
this
Booke
are
manifold
,
but
chiefly
three
:
The
first
was
,
to
keepe
in
record
,
and
make
knowne
my
owne
misery
,
lest
with
the
forgetfull
Butler
in
Pharaos
Prison
,
who
being
deliuered
forgat
his
promise
made
to
Ioseph
.
that
foretold
his
deliuery
:
so
I
(
such
is
infirmitie
and
frailtie
of
humane
nature
)
might
(
cheaked
with
worldly
prosperitie
forget
my
mercifull
and
mightie
Deliuerer
.
The
second
was
,
that
others
(
warned
by
my
misery
)
might
shun
the
like
.
The
last
and
chiefest
reason
was
,
to
glorifie
God
,
especially
heere
in
England
,
which
aboue
all
earthly
Countries
and
Nations
is
most
bound
to
extend
and
set
forth
his
glory
.
For
what
Christian
,
reading
but
the
extreame
thraldome
and
punishment
he
hath
inflicted
vpon
the
Jewes
,
euen
to
this
houre
,
being
a
Nation
he
had
once
selected
to
himselfe
from
amongst
all
the
Nations
of
the
earth
.
Or
the
present
misery
of
the
Gréekes
,
who
once
were
Monarches
of
the
Earth
,
and
one
of
the
chiefest
Churches
of
Christendome
,
being
the
first
fruits
of
the
Gentiles
,
whose
extreame
bondage
is
now
lamentable
,
yet
not
with
the
Israelites
,
sacrificing
their
children
to
Idols
,
but
forced
to
giue
as
well
the
tenth
of
their
children
,
as
of
their
substance
to
that
monstrous
Mahumetan
Idoll
the
Turke
.
Or
who
,
duly
pondering
the
blindnesse
and
obstinacie
of
the
Spaniards
,
Pope
,
and
Italians
,
with
the
horrible
and
absurd
sinnes
that
God
hath
giuen
them
ouer
to
:
Or
who
,
séeing
the
Infidelitie
of
the
simple
Indian
(
well
may
I
call
him
simple
,
because
his
errour
grows
more
of
want
of
true
knowledge
then
obstinacie
)
who
worships
the
creature
,
being
ignorant
of
the
Almightie
Creator
?
What
English
heart
(
I
say
)
duly
pondering
these
things
in
generall
,
or
any
one
of
these
things
in
particular

can
otherwise
choose

falling
downe
on

yéeld
God
immortall

innumerable
thanks
and
prayse-giuing

not

for

aboue
all
other
Nations
of
the

to
the
true

perfect

also
for

from
so
many
miseries

wretched
thraldomes
