beioyningwAiia, orwhcthcr it be Land or Sea) I ihere,tu;s Icaue it out in this
diui/ion.
F.urope is diuidcd from Africkc by the Mediterranean Sea ; from Afia by the
«/£gtin and Euxine,M«otis,Tanais,andahnefromthe fount; ines thcrcofNorth-
wards : on the North and Weft parts waflied with the Ocean; which ninning by
the ftraits of Gibraltar, flowcth along the Coafts of Africke to the Cape of Good
Hope, and thence paflcth all alongft on the Eaft fide thereof into the Arabian Gulfe,
whcre,bvaNeckeofLand,itiscncountred: This Necke, the Mediterranean, and
Ocean, doe limit the bounds of Afika : The reft of the old Worid is Afia . America
MtxienHd, or North, and the South called TnnvitiKM, are feucred by the narrow
Straits of Darienc, in other places compaffed by the Sea : The South Continent
is verie little knowne, and containeth the reft ot the World, not bounded in the
former limits . But in ilieir particular places wee fhall heare of each of them
more fully.
It cannot be without fomc great worke of God , thus in the old and decrepit
Age of the World, to let it haue more perfctft knowledge of it felfc ; which wee
hope, and pray, may be for the further enlargement ofthe Kingdome of C m r 1 1 t
I f $ V s, and propagation of his GofpcU. And,as in forncr times, in thofe then-
difcouercd Parts, the Icwcs were fcattered , Ibme violently, fome willingly,
through Afia, Africa, and Europe, to vftier the Gofpell into thofe Parts, and

Of the City and Country of^Bahjlon^ts-c, C h a i».I f
There were alfo two flanding Ciippcs ofthirtie talents , and t-.vo vcffclls flir pcrfiime
oMikcvaluc : Three other vclTcl Is of gold, whcreot'onc, dedicated to l«piur, vvcidi-
cd t wcltic hundred Babylonian talents : (cucry Babylonian talent is faid to containe
kuen thouland dt4chmt Aitica, Hxtic three poiinds.ninc ounces, and an halfc and
haltc a quarter Troy weight. ) All thcfc the Pcrfian Kings tookc away. '
WithoiitthcTcmplc.by ^ro^ofwtenimony, wasagoh'mAltar, and an other
huge one berKies,f..r their folemne facriucs,thc otherbeing not to be polluted with
bloud,except of fuck ing thingi . In that greater the Chaldxans burnt yerely in ihck
lacrihtes a hundred thouland talents ofLibanotus. One ibtuc of gold twclut cubits
hig h'/)4n.w, aftccHng.lparcd : but Xerxfj both tooke it.and (lew the pricft that foi-
bade him. I might hcerc alfo tell of thofe Venf!/egArJeMs , borne vp on arches, four..-
rquarc,cach fquarc containing ^.hundred foot : filled on the roofe witii earth, \\ here-
in grcwgreat trees and otherplants. The entrance was (as it were) a hill: the arches
were biiilvlcd one vpon another in conuenient height, Hillincreafingas they afccn-
ded : thehighcfl which bare the walls were fiftie cubits high,and twclue in breadth:
There were withinthcfearches.Innes. There was alfo a comieyancc of water to the
watering therof. This garden was made long after Stmir4mis time by >a king which
hecrein Iccmed to lord it mier the Elements and countermaund Nature, being him-
lelfe the feruant of his wiues appetitc,who in this lowly vally wherein Rabilon Hood,
would faine hauc fonie reprefcntation of her ownc hilly and mountainous country of
Media. '
This King wis M^'^nehtdttitftr, as witnefTeth b Vtref$u in Tef,fhM , who hauing
conquered Egypt, Syria, Phoenicia, Arabia , inrichcd the Temple of Belnt w ith the
fpoilcs, and addeda newcitictothc olde, without the fame. Andprouiding that the
encmv might not after turnc the courfc ofthe riiier, and approch to the city , he com-
pafTcd the inner city with three walls.and the vtrcrcity with as many.ihclc ofbrick,
thofe alfo with bitumen, or pitchie flime ofthat countrcy , adding thereunto Itately
gates. Am; nearc his fathers pallacc he built another more fumptuous : and this hcc
did in fiftccnc dayes . Thereiu he raifcd Itonc-works like vnto mowntains.and plan-
ted the fame with all manner of trees. Hce made alfo apcnfilc garden. Many more
things Cfaith fofephHs)i\ath Betoftu addc, andblamcththcGreckc Writers for afcri-

Temple which he had built ouer that Clift vnto Ihho j all which water was receiucd
into the fame.
Some afcribe the building c? this Temple to Semiramu , in lionour of her motlier
Derceto : others to (syittei, for the vvorfhip of 'R,hea : which y4ttej was a Lydian,and
was author of the fuperftitions oiRheti, to the Phrygians, Lydians, and Samothraci-

PrUfi (huge Images of the priuic part of a man) erctiled at the entrie of the Temple,
with an infcription. That B*cckm had confccrated tiiem to lunt. That au ^cicnc
foundation being confumcd by time, this later Temple was crefted by Queene 5/r<j-
tonice,\i\\o being in a dreamc cnioyned this office oi'/uHo, and,for nc^eiling the
fame, punifhed withfickneflc, vowed vpon her recoucric to pcrforme it. The King
ioyned in Commiflion with hcr,as Cenerall of his Armie,and ouerfeer of thefe holy
workcs,a bcautifullyoung man,named (^omiial>iu;\\ho fearing what might happen,
gelded himfclfe,and clofing thole his difmembred members (firtt for their prclcrua-
tion embalmed) in a boxc fealed, as fome great treafure, he committed to tne Kings
fidclitic, to be fafcly rcferued to his vie. Which his praftife faucd his life accordingly,
, being after produced to clearc him of adultcrie with Stratoniee, which had been layd
^<.Cn ^ ^^«.'.~M ^o ^^^ charge by his cnuious accuicrs,and by the iealous King greedily apprehended.
In mcmorie whereof, a brazen Statue of Ctmbtbut was let vp in this Temple, and
both then (w hethcr to folace Cemkabtu, or by inlpiration of luno) and yearely euer
alter, many in this Temple gelded thcralclucs, and put off together the nature and
habit of men, attyring thcmlelucs like women. Thele Man-women Prietts were cal-
led qntlli.
The Temple was built in the middell of tlie Citie, compaffed with a double wall ;
the Porch looking Northwards,almoft an hundred fadome high ; w here (Icod thofe
T't4pt aforefaid,about the height of three hundred fadome : vp to one of thefe one
afccndeth twice a ycare, and abideth in the top thereof feuen dayes. He carrieth with
him a long chayne, which he letteth downe, and thereby draweth vp to him fuch

In the hollow concauitic was made a fire, with which the Idoll being heated they

caule ofthe iudgcments for the idolatrous high places in it. Vpon the pollution here-

called Gehcnna,of this place : fir(t,of the lowncne,bcing a Valley: fecondly,forthe
Fire,which here the children, there the wicked, fuftainc : thirdly, becaufe all the filtli

This ii the beginning ofthc apparent llreamerBut the true f and firlt conception of it
is in Piiia'e,one hundred and twcntie Eirlongs from Cafarea, a fountaine of vnfcarch-

Lambe. Two or three dayes before the Pafleouer, they fcowre their houHiold im-
plements, ofwood and mettall, with much curiofitie and varietic of rites. For hce
that in this Feaftvfeth an impure veffell, is as hec that hath laine by anvncleanc

orboyestoht.phim, after their e/^«?» to his blcfling, with waxc candles in their

The women alfo light Candles at home, as on the Sabbath. Itisominons, it" the
Candles burnc not clcerely. They iprcad the floorc with Carpets , foribyling their

Their humiliations at thisFcall arc fiue: firft, fourc and twcntic, orfcucrtand
twcntic hourcs fiift, whereunto children arc fubicdl : the males after twelucycarcs,
the females after elcucn. Secondly, they wcare no fliooes. Thirdly, they miiftnot

nor company with , no not touch their wiucs. Before they bcginncpraiers, thirtccnc

infinuating, that all the vowes, promifcs, oathes, and couenants which eueric lew
had that ycare broken, be difanullcd and pardoned: and that, becaufc now all haue

that God now afcende^hfrom them into the fcuenth Heauen: and they with their

Heauen, C oeetite thy bre^d with toy tmdgladnejfe&e. After this they rCturnc home,
fome carrying home their Lights , to diftinguifh the holic Times ( as you bauc
heard ) from the prophane : fome leaue them in the Synagogue all the yeere, at
certayne times lighting them . Some Saitit-Iewes prouide to haue a waxc-light con-
tinually burning all the yeere long in the Synagogue . In their returnc they wifh to
eachother a good yeere. Forthe Bookes, before mentioned, arenowclofcd; nor
tn-'ythey cxped any alteration . They fuppe largely , and betimes the next mor-
ning rcturne to the Synagogue , left Sathan fhould complaine at fo foone a cooling

goc athoufand Hcls.
Hence, in a great part, procecdcth their natmall and long continued obHinacie.
And bcfidesthat preiudicc,pndc,and cnuic, they arc not a iitrle fcandaiized from
the Chiirtians theinfeliics, fomevsh^t in regard of the mutuall differences anddifa-
greements among Protcliains ; which, though in it felfebad, is made muchuerfc
fcy the vnfeafonable and vnreafonable exaggeration of their common aduci fane,
the Papift: but more, in rcfpcft cf thofe which call themje/ues Catholih^s , and are
d Relicion ef "ot, but eucnby thefemenarc found to bemanifeft Idolaters. <' A fcandall it is to
the Weft pacts fee G o D s Ltitp ncglcftcd, and mans exaded with rigour: a greater matter, at
fome times to eaie 11^111, then the adulterous pollution of the flclli at anytime : the
blafphemies of Nations ; thcfe being interieftions to the vulgar, and phrafes of gal-
lantrie to the Princes: the forgingandpackingof miracles; wherein the Friers and
Icwcs concurre with equall diligence, the one in conttiuing, the other in difcoucring
them. A fcandall are the alterations which they are forced by the Inquifitors to
make in their Authors and Monuments of Antiquitie: thinking, that thefc deuifcs
arc ourbcflcuidenccsi A fcandale is the vowing and praying to Angels and Saints,
yea, more to the Af other 0/ C h R i s t, then to C h r t s t himlclfe, or to G o d,
to whome alone they repute this a due Sacrifice. But the greatcft fcandall of all
others, is the wo*[hipphigof Images. Indeed it fecmcd Ihange tome and doth to
the reft of my brethren according to the flcfh ( Nathaneel a lew borne , baptifed
in Londo'.i, before the Congregation at Ail-hallowes = made this confdfjon) euen
vnto this day, in wlumc this Uindnf^'e a'ld hardntffe »f ^eart it in part ct»ti»ned,
through occafion giucn byrthcm that profcflc the name of 1 f. s v s : and not onc-
lyinvs,\Thichareof thehouleof Ifracljbut inothcrs,as the Turkcs andMahumc-
tancSjwhich arc of the Race pf IJhmaeL VVce and our Fathers and Elders fay, and
in our Bookcs call them by no other name, but 'Rualt aboAaK^atM, Idolatrous Ma-
ftcrs : a thing fo dctcftabk vnto vs, as nothing more, &c. They lay vnto vs oftcnj
times, that they doe not worfhip them as Gods, but G o d in them : Neither are the
Heathen, we fay, that arcVouhd about vs, fo blinded, that they thinke the (lockes and
ftoncsto be G o n,but they arc perfuadcd that God may be worftiipped in them.
And yet they goe farther : for the Chnftians in Spainc and Portugal] haue it written
in their boolics, That the Virgine Mane is the Lords Treafure, and that fhe be-
llowcs gifts and graces tpon herferuants : That her mercie pardoncth them, whome
the iulticc of her Sonne miglit'condemne, and that our Saluation lyeth in her hands.
But our Law teacheth. That God is AlUuflicient,hegiucthto whome hec littctb,
Hewillnot giMe bu glorie to another, &c. The Reader may (if he pleafc) from that lew
himlclfe, in his printed Confeflion, be further infonned of that PartitioH-wali which
fcparatcth the le vv and Catholikc.
They are fo much the more fcandaiized, when they fee the Catechifmes recite the
'Deraion;/te with om'iffionoC liat fecond Commaundemcnt , which they thinke (as
one of their gre*ateftRabbincs contcttcdwith our ^ Author) was the Ordinance of
Christ himfclfc. Yea, the Prielts and Friers let palTc in their conferences witli
them for currant, their lewifli vpbraidings , That Christ, a farpenten Sonne,
was an Image-maker, or at lead an Author of their wbrlTiipping . As for thofe fpecu-
latiuc playftcrs oi'S^ovMia. and \<tTfrU,o{ intention inftrumentall and finall in worfhip,
of Images of the truc,and Idols of the falfe Gods, they are (as ciicn now you heard)
the vnfauoureft dregs to the lew in the world.
The poore Ideot, among the Chriftians, can as little diftinguifh as the Pagan,
and both amongft the Chriftians is like honour done to G o d s Image , and to
that of Saints, and to them both, in like forme of worfliip, as amongft the Pagans.
They are forced to be at fomc Scrmoiu, and there arc well edified by their hea-
ring, when they fee the Preacher dircft his prayer to a Crucifixe, calling it his Lord
atia Sautottr, Their TraMfMbfi^Kttation is a monftcr as hideous as the former.

thcmfcliics in marriages with them.flice is called a'Cufliitc, which fomc wrong-

The name Fxlix. or Happie, is giuen to tHc Southerly parts of Arabia, for the
fcrtilitie thereof : s the name Petria to a fecond part, of Pctra the Seat royall,after
called Arach,of ^r*f.*r an Arabian King.
The Dcfert Arabia hath a name anfwcrable to the nature thereof; being, in
preat part, without inhabitants, for the barrenneflc of the foyle: as is alio a "reat
) rt of that which is called Pctrsa. This Defert Arabia is alfo ^ called Afpera,
.nferioryC'^ua^zad of the Hcbrcyves Cedftr. It is bounded on the Eaft with Baby-
lonia, and part of the Peffian (>ulfe j on' the North with Mefopotamia, neerc to
Euphrates; on the Weft, with Syria and Arabia Petrsa; on the South, arc the
Mountaines of Arabia Foelix . Neere to them and to Euphrates it hath fomc
Townes, and is frequented with Merchants, otherwhere partly vnpcopled, partly

thus did the Scythians, and thus doc the Tartars and the Arabians in Afia, Africa*
and Europe, at this day, roming,rouing, robbing. -
They '" which dwell in ,T,owncs and Cities, obfcfuing a more ciuill life, are cal-
led Moores, the other Arabians, in more proper appellation . The name Moorcs
was giuen them of the Spaniards, becaule out of Mauritania they inuadcd Spainc,
and now " is taken vfually , not fo much for the inhabitants of the Arabian
Cities, as for all of the Arabian and Mahumetane Superftition. Bofra is thc*hicfc
Citie.
Arabia Petrsa adioyncth on the Weft and North to Syria ; on the Eaft to th«
Dcfert Arabia; on the South to the Happjc. Plmie, Strabo , and ^lolomey call it
Nabathaja. Some thinke, o^Nebaioth, foqhe of Ifhn^aeL Tyrim calls it Arabia Se-
cunda. Now it is called by RufctUi, Baraab; or after Z<W,rr«i,Barra ; or Bathalatha

Nigh to Syria it is more plcntifull, then in other parts. The fcarcitie of wood

intoFrancc, where Thtodrictts the fccond was then King, but ^ Ch.irLs M.mel/wa-
Iter of the Kings houfe ruled,as did his father in that office before, and his fonne,(both
Plains) after him. The Saracens tookeNarbone, and after Hurdeaux, killing init,man
wom3n,and childe, and rafing the Temples to the ground ; they paffed Garunna and
oucrturncd Angolefmc and Bl®ys, andcai ito " Turon, w here Si^do the Goth then

But when Sudo was dead, /W^c/^/Ztookc part ofhis kingdome from his lonnes Hmot-
Mu, and VmfAYiis, who thereupon recalled the Saracens , which vnder the leading
of AtwHs tookc Auenion by the treafon ofMnttncitu then Goucrnour, fiom whence
and out ofFrance they were driuen'^^by/T/^rf (•//««.
The Saracens made fburc inuafions into Thrace while Euelitm was Caliph , to

one 'Balia , which profeflcd himfelfc a Prophet fcutofGod ; who gathered an
armic of the fcummc of all Nations , whereby he filled Afia with bloud and ilaugh-
tcr, both of Chrifiians and Ifraclitcs, vntill GiMheddm King of Gunia detiroyed
him.
In the ycirc 6^0, of C h r i s T one thoufand two hundred forty and two/iic-
cecdcd Mufleatz-em , the foure and fiftieth Saraccnicall Chalipha . The Tartar
King CA/M made his brother //^/rtf/;* King of Irak and Mcfopotamia , who bcfie-
gedandfackedBagded, and flew yW*/?Mr*»»z-.. This Chalipha was rtaruedby his
comm:'.undeiTient in the middeftof his treafures, bccaisfe hce would not employ
the fdinc (through niggaidire)for his owne dekncc. From that tiitie there hath becnc
noChaliph ( faith this Arabian Hiftory) inBagded. In him ended the ^^«i/w« line,
of which ha;l bccne fiue and thirty Chaliphaes.
After KjHihHmetot /W«<^«wwtf</ the falfc prophet, the firft Captaincs of warrc
were called Emirelmumeniw, that is to fay , PrafeSlt orthodoxorum-, , the CtiptumeS
of the Sound'Beleeuers • and after, becaufe, vndcr cloake of Religion, they fcilcd
on the Primacic and tyranny (fpirituall and temporall) they named thcmfclucs Chtli-
phaes, that is, Vicars. The firft Emire/mumtmnj was Ahuhecher. When by his fuc-
ceffors, Goucrnours" were fcnt into Spainc and Africa, theyfor atime held the fame
as Deputies , although to their power nothing lacked but the title of a King , yet
they profeflcd to doe all in the name of the Emtr elmumeuim vntill afterwardes they
tookc that Title alio thcmfclucs , and became abfolutc. Whence all the pettice
Kings of Spaine, and the African Potentates, were called Smire tlmumepiim; and
the kings of Baibary are fo ftiled at this day , euen as the French King is called Chri-
Jtiamfstmus, and the Spaniard ^4tW/fw . The Legates of the Chalipha were cal-
led Naibifi , which alio fignifieth the fame that CW//><;<i ; but this was madeoccu-
liar to thofe Saracen Tyrants, which vfed both Swords, (tolpeakc in the Roman
language) fupreame in matters Diuine and Humane. Thus oblcrueth /#/?pA Sc*.
//^«r ''ofthcfc names r whereby it appearcth, that Emire elmHmmm wasnotgiucn
onely to AbedrAmon and his fucceflburs in Atirica , as is before obferued out of
Curio.
Thus haue wee gincnyon a Chronographicallvicwof theauncient Chaliphaes,

and vnwcldy , it fell vndcr the weight of it felfe , none fo much as the Saracens oucr-
throwing the Saracens, as their " Se6>s and Diuifions make plaine . Ncuerthelcire,

reth a great part of the World. For befides the triumphing fvvord of the Turke, Per-
fian,Mogorc, Barbarian, and other Mahumctan Princes : fuch is the zealeof the
fuperftitious Mahumctanc, that in places furtheft diftant, this their Religion hath
becnc preached , which they trade together with their marchandife, euen from the
Atlantikc Ocean vnto the Philippinacs : It hath founded in China , it hath pierced
Tartaria : and although the name of Chriftian extendcth it felfe into fo many SeAs
and Pro'' iTious in the Countries of Afia, Africkc, and America, befides Europe
(almoft wholly Chriftian;) yet is it hard to fay, whether there be not as mauyDif-

mutinous Rebels, Fugitiues, Vnthrifts, Apoftata-Iewcs, and hereticall Chriftians in
that difcafed State of the Empire : the bodie whereof was afflitSled on the Eaft by the
Perfians, on the Weft by the Gothcsand other Barbarians, and fretted within the
owne bowels by intcftine rebellions: the Soulethereofbcing no IcfTc tome and rent
by the Seds and Hcrcfiesof the AiTians,Donatirts,Ncftorians,PeIagians,and others
Hefifhing in thefe troubled waters, feton foot his new Religion, to brin'' light to
th ' -utiles, and to mitigate to thelewesand Chriftians the fcueritie of the Law
and Gofpcll. But the Mahumetanes themfeluesdoc report othcrwifc, fabling of this
fabler great matters, as if he had bccnc the Promijt tmd Hope tf Natitnt^znd the moft
excellent perlbnagc of the World.
They haue w ritten a Bookc of the generation of LMshemet to this effeft : " The
Booke of the generation oi M»homet, the Meflenger of G o d, ( the Praycr^md
Saluation of G o d be vpon him) from ^Aiurn and But to the time when G o d
brought him forth, gracious, perfcdl:, and fit for himfelfe. When as KnhAchbur
had learned our of the " Scriptures, and by Affroloeie, that his Prophet fhould be
borne to the world, he heard. That there was a man Dome in leferas, a Citic of Ara-
bia, hauing all liich markes and tokens, as he had forc-fccne by the Prophecies and
'his Art, vtx,. a ipot on his forehead, a print betweene his fhoulders, &c . And to fa-
tisfie his dcfire,he went thitherto fee j where finding thole tokens fulfilled in young
Mahomet, he thereupon expounded the darkemyftcricofhis fari«-fetchcd Lim^
learned of his Mafter Kdlfelmedi in this manner : When t^dam was newly created'
as he flood vp, his braine fliakcd and made a noyfe, as the Icaues doe, which arc
fhaken with the winde : whereat ^dttm wondering, God faid vnto hirn The
found which thou haft heard is the figne of the Prophets and Mcficngcrs of my
Commaundements. Take heedc therefore that thou commit this Seed of Ltritt on-
Iv to worthie Loynes, and to a cicanc Wombe. And this p Ltght of MAhtmn
that fliould be borne, ftiined from the face oi^dtm^ as the Sutuic or Moone at
the full. And yvhen hcc had begotten Sith , that Lt^iit pafTed inftanily from the
face o£yidam\nto the face of Ew, infomuch, that tht birdes of the Aire, and
bcaftesof the Earth, wondered at her beautic. Yea, the Angels cuery day'falu-
ted her, and brought her odours out of Paradife, till fhe brought forth 5«A alone,
hauing before, at euerie burthen, brought forth a brother and a filter.
5«A inherited this I'/g-^;, which remained betweene hcauen and earth, the Angels
thereby afcending and dcfccnding vpon Setb,iad crying il\\zies,'Ret(yet theu rfrtl,,
worthy eft he /tght e/Mahomet, on him be the prayer and J«lm4ti$n of Gad. Adam draw^
ing ncerc to his end, declared vnto him,by his Teftameiit, the myftcrie of that Liok,
and the Genealogic of the Prophets. Then defccndcd Gctbriely accompanied with
threefcore and tenne thouland Angels, bearing euery one of them a white leafc
and a penne, which figned the writing, for the continuance of the order of the
Propheticall generation. Seth receiued this writing, and was clothed with a doii-
blc rcddc garment, fhining ssthc Sunne, and foft as the violct-flowcr.

God, and his Prophet, and to your kindred and orjphani, and the poorc. Thofc that

of God and his mcflcngcr Icucntic times, yet God will ncucr pardon them. The fickc
and weakc, and fnch a$ haue not ncceflaries, arc excufed from this neceintie of warrc:
buttothc good warriours God giuethParadifc, in reward of their ibulcs and "oods*
whether they kill or be killed. At.t. 1 8.1 9. And in 57. Kill the vnbclecucrs whom yoJ
conquer, till you haue made great flauehtcr. God could take vengeance on them but
he chulcth rather to doe it by you : he liiall lay deaf<inefl"c and blindncflc on the feint-
Jiearted, Yet m y a. and 98. ascontranetohimfcUc he affirmeth, that he is fent onely
to teach, not to compell and force men to beleeuc : except we expound it rather, that
Icwes, Chrillians, and a'l vnbeleeuers, are compelled to be tributaries, and'their
naues ; not forced to their religion, but inftruaed only ; vn hich agreeth with their pra-
etife. From this doarine, and that ofdeftinic in the 50. yi*. hath riicn their forward-
ncstothewarre, and thegreatncflcoftheirconquefts. Agreeable to this doarine is
their manner of teaching it : the Reader or Preacher (as faith Frier Richard, ftudent a-

teth it vp in an eminent place, to the terrour of the gain-faycrs.
But difoutation • and reafoning about his law he vtterly difliketh. */^*.:? j.To fuch
as Will difputc with thee, anfwere that God knoweth all thy doings, which in the iaft
day (hall determine all controuerfics. And jo. Nothing but euill cleaueth to the heart
of fuch as vnwifely difj.ute of Diuinc Precepts: bnt commend thou thyfelfc viuo
God, that knoweth all things. And chap.4.i 5 . He is commanded to goe away from
f^ch. J lis booke is giuen to take away dilcord from men : miracles he difdaimeth as
'"'"fticicntproofe; tor though it fhould make plaine the mountaines, and make the
dead to fpeake, yet they would be incredulous : But it is thy dutie only to fhew them
my Precepts, ^»#.a3.
Ofthc* Creation he artirmcth (t^«ff.2,) that when God had made the world, Vc

in the earth.-they anfwere, we in all things arc fubiea to your Ma.eftie,and giue praifc
vnto you : but he wiU be wicked and a Hicdder of bloud.Then God teftif y ing, that he
knew a thing not knowneto the Angels,taught Adam the names ofthings by hiinfelf,
notknowne to the Angels, and therefore commanded the Angela to doc rcuerence
before «y^</4»w, which wicked "'B*/*f^«^ refuted; they obeyed, \nd k/Ikm, ay.VVc

thatfome of them haue two wings, fome three, fomc fourc : and (^2.) theheaucn

They worflup Images . The Prince fpendeth the night with leucn hundred women.
The Tartars haue now poflcflcd the fame Coumrcy; but long bef^brc, the fame rites:
as you may reade in our Hi(tory of them. To dcriue them (as fomc doe) from Troians
and lews , is fomcwhat farre 'fetched J nor is there much likelihood, that they fhould
receiuc their name of Turca •> aPcrfianCity: the name isauncient, and applied by
« Af'fa indTimy to a Nation of the Scythians, & their originall is accounted Scythi-
an by the •' molt Sc belt Authors , There are which bring a long gcnealogie from AT*.
rfA/Atke,vnto the 0//(7»w«» family: hcereindiljgrceing, while fomc willhaucA/4-
.?i»f, others T«*4/the Author of their Nation. L««»c/4Vi«/ 'rcciteth ind rcfiitf th the
fame. Hewriteth the nunc fitrkj, allcadgingf/fw^/oriw for his Author : andcitcth
many Authors toprouethai they defccndcd of the Vrniior Vtigri^ which were cal-
led Turkes , of which there were two forts , one wcfterly in Pannonia , an other ca-
ftcrly ncarc Pcrfia, called by the Pcrfians A/.ijar^/, hecconcludeth that the l^'nniox
iHrchi came from luchra or luchria (whence the name Inchri might cafily be deflc-
6tcdto iMrchi) beyond Tanais; and firft after they had fbrfakcn their owne Coun-
try, fctleu thcmfelues ncare Mxotis , from whence they palTed to Cha Aaria.and fonie
went welhvard to Pannonia, fbme caftward to Armenia , and thence intoPerfu.
Ma,.y probable Arguments might bee brought, toprouethat they defccndcd
of the Scythians, whofc wandering Hiepheardly life , boththc namcand thcirpra-
ilife (in old times, and in fome places ftill) cxprcdcth . The rirll Expedition and mili-
tary employment which I haue read of the Turkes, was f ynAitVAramm a rebelli-
ous Perfian, abouea thoufand yearcs fince, whcnC«/r»« was King ofPcrfia, and
AfMritiHs the Roman Emperour : at what time many of them were llainc , and many
taken.which confcflld, that famine had forced them to thofc warrcs, for which caufc
they marked themlelues with a blackcCrolTe j a ceremony which they faid they had
learned of the Chriftians , thinking thereby tocxpcU hunger. This hungry Nation
hath fince beenc a greedy and infatiatc deuourcr ofNations . Another expedition of
theirs (which fomc reckon the firfl) «was in the yerc 7^ ^ , or after an other account,
844; at which tiinc.palTing through the Georgian Country, then called Iberia, they
firrt fcifedonajKirt of the greater Armenia, which their Pofterity holdeth at this
day, called of them Turcomania. In thiswidcand fpacious Country they romcd ,
vp and do\vn,without certainc habitation, a long time with their families and heards
oftattcll, like the ancient ScithianAr«»4</«, and the Tartars , and the {amcTurco-
man Nation at this day.
When as the Saracens Empire grew now vnwcldy, through her ownc greatnclTc,
and the Soldans, which were wont to conquer for the Chaliph , began now to fliSic
with him in his large Dominion : /V^AflUMi (then Sultan orSoldanof Pcrfia) was for
this caufc hardly bcfer with the Chaliph cf Babylon;aflailcd alfo on the other fide bv
the Indians. He fought to ftrengthen himfdfcapinitthefc enemies with the new
friendfhip ofthefe Turks , of whom hcobtaynedfbrhis ayde three thoufand hardy
fouldiors, '' vnder the condutt of TogrA Muealct the fonnc ofMiket/ a valiant Cap-
taine, and chicfc of the Sekuccian tribe or family , whom the Greeks commonly call
T^n^rthpix , zndlome Seldite, orS^idoe. By thchclo of this TM»gr0/,f,x,Oi{ahamtt
the Pcrfian Sultan ouercamc Pif4/iru the Chaliph. The Turks, after this warrc , dcfi-
ringlcaue to pafle oucr the riuer Araxis to their Country-men, were both denied.anJ
threatned, it they againe fliould feekc to depart . Whereupon they withdrew Uicin-

Judges of their law, and Tiiftices to punifli offenders jofwiiich there is one at leaH in
euery Citic f htough the Turkilh dominion : and art knownc from other men by thcr
huge Turbines, two yards in compalTe. The fixth MtCMudenfi, which oucrfec the
Caddies dojngs.and arc as Suffragans to their Bifliops ; who arc the feuenth fort and
arc called MnlU. w hich place and difplace Church-mcn at their plcafure. The eiehth
L4ittefcAri,Yiho are but two great andprincipaJl Judges or Cartrinals,the oneofGrx'
cia the otiur of Natoha : antTthefe two lit euery day in the Diuano among the Baffas
aiid arc m great reputation. The ninth is the tj^mft»», who is among the Turkes as
the Pope ainong the Roman Catholikes. When the Baffas puniOi any offence aeainft
thenlaw,thcylcndtohim.Hc may not abafe himfclfctofit in theDiuano ndthcr
when he comes into the prefcncc of the Grand Sc.gnior.will he vouchfatt to kiffc his
hand,ortogiueanymorereucrencc, then he receiueth. The great Sultan arifcth to
honorhim when becomes vnto him, and then they both fit downe face to face and
lotalke and confcrre together. No man can afcend to this place, but by the dignities
atoieiaid. **
LMAhtmet ^ the third, forced by a tumultofthc Janizaries to orefcnt himfelfe vnto
riiem, came accompanied with the /T<f*fii andYome few others of the reuerend Do
aot^s oftheir lavv,who were by the Sultan commanded to fit downe, whiles the great
Bal. ; abode ftanding.Such refped is had to thcle men. Thus much KwUes
In the bookc i of the Politic of the Turkifli Empire, -it is faid, that the Mufti's
auihonricislikctothatof the lewiHuiighPrieft, or Roman Pope. I rather eftcemcit
liketo that ofthetwcluePatriarkes, as binding not nil Mahumctans,butthe Turkes
only: whereas the one had, the other challcngcth a fubieaion of all, which profedb
their reljgion. That Author alfo affirmeth, that whcnfoeucr the c5I^«/r»goeth abroad
torth of his ownenoufc (which he vfcth to doe very fcldome) his vfc and cuftome is
firft to goe and vifitc the Emperour : who as foonc as he fceth him commino to falute
him, and to doe himveucrence, prefcntiy arifcth out ofhis feat, and embradne him
with great kindneflc, emertaineth him very h icndly and louingly, caufing him to fit
downe by him,andgiuvs)g him the honor ofthe place.
His authority, jaith • Soranz^^K fo great, that none will openly contradift the
Mufties fentcnce: but yet ifthe Emperour be fetledin a rcfolution/ the Mufd with
tearc or flattery inclines vnto him.
Next to the Mufti is the CaUfch^r, who being alfo chofen by the Emperour may
be compared to thole,whom the Chriftians cal Patriarchcs,or elfc to the Primates and
Metropolitans of a Kingdome. Of thefe there are now in this encreafed greatncffc of
the Turkifli Empire, three: whereas it fecmeth that they had in the time of B^/4«, but
one, and long after (as before is faid) but two. To one ofthefe is afllgncd Europe
namely, fo much thereof as is fubieato the Turke,for his Prouince : To the fccond*
NatohaorTurkie:tothethird,Syria and Egypt, with the parts adioyning. There were*
but two Cadilefchers till S^hm wanne Syria and Egypt, and ereaed a th.rd. But ' S«.
r-ww faith that this third of C^n^c is not rightly called Cadilefcher. but fhould rather
be called the great Cadi. Out of all which Prouinces, whatfoeucr caufes come to be
determined, by appeale or otherwifc, they are brought to be decided before thcCa-
dilelcher of the fame Prouince whence they arife : notwithftanding that the abode of
each of them DC continually, orforthe moflpart.at Conftantinople, orelfewhcre
wherefoeuer the Emperour holdeth his Court. The honor done to them, is little leffe
then to the Mufii, for that their authoritie is ouer Prieft andpcople,temporalland fpi-
ntuaU : t^cy are alfo learned in their law, aged and experienced. Of the ^«^.r/Aand
fOil^t, I can fay no more then I haue done.
_ Next to thefe arc the C*^, which are fent abroad and difpcrfcd into euery City and
Townc ofthe TurkiOi Empire: which befid SeirkEcclefiafticall iurifdidion (asl
may termc It} mforcmg men to their religious obfcruations, are as it were. lufticers

In Myfia 'was that famous Pine-tree , foure and twenty foote in compaffc, and
growing intirc threcfcorc and ten foote from the roote, was diuidcd into three armes
xquslly diflant, which after gathered themfelues dole into one top , two hundred

another waserefted at Chryfa to jiftllo Smynthitts: and twenty furlongs thence.an
other to Diana «ytjtirina , another (withaiacred Caue) atAndira, to the mother of
the Gods : this Caue reached Tnder the Earth to Palea , a hundred and thirty (urlones.
yittalMS reigned in thefe parts , who furniflied the Libraric of Pergamut with
two hundred thoufand Volumes, for the writing whereof thofe parchmcnt-skimics
were inuented, therefore calledtothisdayP*rf/<wf»<. Of this name tytttaluswext

difc, thatjn the night hccdid teareandcatc his Wife, and finding her hsnd( in the
morning) in his mouth, the thing being noifcd abroad, hcc killed himfclfe. The
fame Author telleth « of Kmg yiudramytet, that hcc made women Eunuches forhii
attendance : that the lydians were fo effeminate, that they might not endure the
Sunncto lookc vponthem, forwhich caufetbey had their fliady bowers : that in a
placc,tlierefore called Impure, they forced women and Maidens to their luft, which
Omphale (w ho had endured this violence, comming after to be their Que ene)re*uengd
by asvniurt iudicc. For aflembling all the feruants or (laues, flieefhuc vp among
them their Maftsrs Daughters, permitting them to their pleafures. She was Daugh-

Jy was named the Hill Tmolus, which yeelded golden fands to the Riuer Pa^olus.
Haljattti « was after along fuccefsion the Lydian King, father to Ot[u$, whofe
Scpulcher was an admirable monument, being at thebottomc,ftonc ; elfcwhere,
earth : built by men and women, flaues, and hired pcrfons. It is fixe furlongs in com-
pafle, and two hundred foote , and a thoufand and three hundred foote broa*d. All the
Daughters of the Lydians proflitute themfelucs,and thereby get their liuing and dow-
rie. Thefe were the firfl inuenters of coyning money : the firll hucftcrs and pedlers:
the firft players at Dice, Ballcs, Chefle, in the time of ^rt^nhc firft; driuen to this
fliift by famine, which when they knewe not otherwife to redrcfle, they deuifcd
thefe games , pafsing the time of eucry fecond day with thefe paflimes, then
beguiling their emptie bellies, and ( according to their ominous inuention) now
not fo much the companions, as the harbengers and forerunners of empti-
iieffe, although fome contrarie to their firft original! »fc them to eafe their ful-

failing, the foile brought forth an innumerable multitude of fleas , which forced the
Inhabitant! to forfakc their City, and with baggeand baggage to depart to Miletus,
And in my time (fiithP^w/iw***) nothing remained of My us, in Myu$, hm'BMcchw
Temple. The like befell to the Atarmitaneare to Pcrgamus. The Perfians burnt the
Temple o(PaUm at Phocea, and an other of /**• in Samos, the remaines whereof are
wonhy admiration i the Erythrxan Temple of ^ww/r/, andof P-iAm at Prieni;
that for the antiquitie, this for the linage. The Image oWerctiUs is faid to be brought
in a (hip which came (without mans help) to the Cape, where the Chians & Erythri.
ans laboured each to bring the fame to their owne C itty . But one 'Phormio a Fiflicr*
man ofErvthrza was w arned in a dreams, to make a rope of the haire cut off from the
heads ofthe Erythraean Matrons , by which their husbands fliould draw the fame in-
to their towne. The women would not yeeld ; but certaineThracian women which
had obtained their freedome, graunted their haire to thispurpofe ,to whom therefore
this priuiledgc was graunted, to enter into Hrrf*/« Temple, a thing denied to all o-
ther the Dames of Ery thrsa. The rope ftill remaincth : and the Fiflietman which be*
fore was blinde, recoucred his fight. In this Towne alfo is ^/m*/tw Temple, and
therein a huge Image of wood,fitting on a throne, holding with both hands a diftaffe.
There are the gr4cts, and MoHrts, formed of \\ hite Marble. At Smyrna was the liur
pleof e/f/f«A»/ww/ : and,nigh to the Ipnngs of their riuer Mclcs, a caue, in which they

At Miletus, a niadde phrenfie had once pofTcflcd their Virgins,w hereby it came to
pafTc, that they in great multitudes hanged thcmfelues. Neither caufe appeared, nor
remedy : Needs muft they go w horn the Dcuil! diiues. Whom « neither the fwcetnts
of life, bitterneflc ofdeath, tcaresjintfeaties, offers, cuftodic of friends could moue,
Modefty detained from proceeding in this immodefi butchery : and w hich is more to
be wondered at , a PoHhmme modcrty, which could not be borne, till they were dead.
For a Law was made. That the naked bodies of fuch as thus had ftrangled themfelucs,
(hould be drawnc through the ftrectes : which contumely, though it were but a Gnat
to thofe Camels, which with the halter they fvvallowed, yet ftrauied they at it, and it
could it not be digefted.but (layed their fury. Before the Troian war,was Hereules fa-

ans : next to the Lydians, Per(ians,& the other Empires,which fuccefTiucly followed.
From Ephefus to Colophon ate fcuenty f jrlongs. This tow n grew into a Ptouerb;
<lfor through their excellency in horfcmanfhip they vfually made the viftory (other-

Of the Medes.
Chap. 2.
The North parts of Media were barren, and therefore they liucd on Apples, dried and

This and Vcnifon was their food. In one plaine" of Media were paftured fiftie thou-
fand Mares, belongingto the King: the ncarbe whereon they principally fed, is Hill
called L^iedica. The race of horlcs, called Ntfti, were heere bred, and hence dilpcr-
fedallouerthcEaft.
Among " the Medes, none might be King by the law of the countrey, except hee
were in ftaturc and ftrength eminent. All the Medes (faith TSurtUftnes V a famous Chal-

and children accompanied them in their battailcs.
The name ofthc Medes remained famous after the Perfian conqueft, as appeareth
by the ftile which the Scripture » giueth them : the Urv of the Medes andPer/iam which
n>M vnchangeable, the King himfelfc not hauing power to reuoke his fcnience.
As for the Catalogue of the Kings which fucceeded Arbaees, vntillthe time of A.

times accrewed hereunto by the Sophian additions ot^«fWf and his followers, is in
part touched in the former Chapter. Let vs now take view thereof jas the fame at ihu
prefenthath infected Perfia and the ne ghbouringRceions.
There is refident in Casbin * their picpbanc Prieft, called U^ttftsed-Dim, that
is to fay, the chiefe of the Law, who is as the m/»<//» among the Turkes; and in the
other fubie»lit Cities are certaine peculiar heads obedient to this chjcfc Pricll; who
notwithflanding arc not chofen or difplaced at his pleafure, but by the King him-
felfc, who fhould not onely be a King,but a Priell, as »/^/i and Afuhtmet were, from
whome hee chalengcth fuccefTion, Howbcit, for auoiding of greater trouble, hee
graunteth that fauour,and putteth ouer that burit\cn from himlclfc vnto others, to
whofe judgements he alfo referreth hirnfelfe , whcnfoeuer there is any Coufultation
or Treatie touching their Law and Religion. Vnderthc^*/?<«*<i-D/** are the Ca-
lifes (fayth Mmnitt) and thefe are they that execute their daily Scruice in iheirMof.
chees or Temples, The chiefe of thefc Calites is he that putteth the Horncvpon the
Kings head when he is firfl enthronized : a cercmonie now performed in Casoin, be-
caufc the Turkes forbad it to be performed in Cafe,nccre vuto Babvlon, according to
the auncient wont. Other Cities alfo haue a Mmftdcd-Dtni and Calife, although infe.
riour to them of Casbin.
The difference betweene the Turke and Pcrfian (as commonly it happcneth in
cafe of Religion) is fo hotcly purfucd on both fides bctw ixt them, that they neither
vfemutuall Marriage norMarchandife,as fftme affirme: There can be no certaine
Peace, or continuing Truce . And if one alters his Religion, and turnes to the other
fide, hee is not receiued without a new Circumcifion ' . "BMtax^t the great Turke
burnt two hundred Houfes in Confbntinople , infedted with this Scd, together
with the inhabitants, and fet forth a publike Edii^t againft it. Ijm4tli$ faid,inlike
hatred of the Turkes, to haue caufed a Swine to be nouofhcd, which, in defpight
of the OttemaMyhe named 'Baidt.ei. StlymMn retumin^from Amafia, was enter-
tained in the houfe of one of this Se^, who therefore, after the departure of his
Prince, purified his Houfe with Wafhings, Perfumes, and other Ceremonies, aj
if it had beene polluted with a Turkim Guefl : For which caufe himfelfe was
flaine, and his Houfe razed. But let vs take a further view of this Set5t in other
Countries.
Neither could it containe it felfe in the limits of the Perfian Kingdomc, but
was fpread further, and receiued euen in the heart of Turkie, ana Skirts of India.
For amongft other the Difciples oft/iidar, Ch/ifaM Shelife and SchAch C«/«, after-
wards furnamedC«i///^«, fleeing the furicof the Pcrfian King, who had flaine their
Mafter,andpcrfecutcdhi$ followers, came mto t/trmenin Minor , and there tooke
vp their dwelling at the great Mountaine Antitaurus, at the foot whereof the bro-
ken Rockes haue many darkcCaues, the worke of Art panly, partly of Nature:
which place of the inhabitants is called Tekt-ili, w hereof 5cib«fib Cm/i was after called
TeehtHu. Here thefe two giuing themfelues wholly to a contcmplatiue hfe,in a fhiA
aufteritic contenting themfelues with I'uch things as the earth voluntarily affoorded,
began to grow in knowledge firfl of the Heards-men and Shepheards, after of the
Husbandmen and Countrev people, admiring their new holinefle . Yea,'54M««
himfelfe, then Emperourof^ the Turkes, moued with zcale of their deuotion , fent
^hem yearely fixe or feuen thoufand Afpcrs . Afterwards becomming Fortune-
tellers, and prognofticating thingcs to come, they were by the fuperftitious peo-
ple drawne into Villages and Cities, where they preached HmIi., according to e/''-
«f«r4 Do^^rinc , cnioyning their Difciples the redde Band on their Turbanis ; of
which, the Turkes tearme them Ciifeil>4s, that is, Rcddc-Heads, with which, in

dour to the Tartariaa Court, from Pope InneeeMt^Ati.i 146, There is a countrey in the
Eaft part of the world called Mmgok which had Ibmetimes foure forts of inhabitants:
r(r(^<i-/t/<»»/#/,ihati$,the great Mongols ; Stmwgol\\\zf. is.water-Mongols; thcfccaU
led thcfcluei Tjrtdrs*, ofaRtuer which runneth thorow their coutrcy named T4rt4r;
the third Mtrkst.^e fourth Mttnt. Thd'e all were alike in perfon and language, but
diuided amongft themfelues into fcuerall Piouinces.and vnto feuerall Princes. In the
land oi'TikM-MtHgtl, was * Cyngu, who itg*n tt In 4 mtghut hmiitr before < A# L o r d..
for he learned to fteale men. He raunged into other countries, taking as manycap-
ttues as he could, and ioyned them vnto himiclfe. Alfo he allured the mra of his ownc
counrrey vnto him, who followed him as their ring-leader to doe mifchiefc. Then be.
gan he to warre vpon the Sumongols or Tartars, and flew their captame,and after ma-
nyconfli(^s fubdued them to himfelfc,and brought them all into bondage. Afterward
he vfed their helpc againft the Merkats, w horn alio he vanqnifhcd in battell. Procee.
ding from thence,htc fought againrt tiie Mc;.ritcs, and vanquiflied them alfo. The
NsmMni hearing that Cjmgu was thus exalted, greatly difdaincd thereattfor they had
a great and irightic Eiiiperour,vnto vs horn all the foreliild nations paid iribute.Whole
fons (when he was dejd)fiiccecded him in his Empirc.Ho\vbeit,being yong and foo-
lilh, they knew not how tu gouerne the people, but were diuided, and fell at variance

Some « fetch the Tartarian pedegrce ftom the ten Tribes oflfracl, which Sn/ 4114.

the furthcll Northerly and EaHcrly bounds of Ada ; which ytt are a great j>art of the
world, not onely ftom Media (whither thofe people were coiiueyed) but ftom any
part ofcbcAflyrian Empire. (The King of Tabor, or Tybur,in thefepans, is (aid to
haueromc into France, to Fr4ffriir the French King, about the yeare 1540, and was
after at Mantua by C64r/M the Emperour burned, forfecret follicitation of him and
other Chtillian Princes to ludaifine.) And Ofmttrm t rcporteth of that their iourncy
paflTing thorow Euphrates, miraculoufly (laying his ftieame (to wonder at the vanitie
ofWriters) when they went into a region called t/liftrteh, which was a yeare and:
halfcs traiiell, there to keenc their law; where neuer before had beene any habitatioi;.

wandring may be fo called) in th« Noith,where they had noLord ouer them,but paid
tribute to a great Signer (there called ^>»f4w, andhecrein thcfe countries Prttkan
lokm) to whom they paid tlie tenth of their beath. But this Vnc»m or frtsbUtr /tl»
fearing their numbers eucry where multiplying, dcutfed to diiperfe them through d«
world : which the Tartars pcrcciuing, withioynt confent tbiiboke thcirformer nabi-

After they had there continued a certainc time, they chofe to their King about the
yeare 1 1<5 z. one which was caildC/rjf«C4», who ruled than with <uch modeftie and
luilice, that they loued and feared him as a god, his fame reducing all the «:hcr Tar-

;E haue already fpoken of the folcmneraciificc obfcrucd en the eight
and twcnticin day of Auguft: We readc in our Aiithor ^MtrcmH jn.
/w,an eie-witnc$ of thefc his relations, of othef the Cr^nd CtiHS grnnd
Iblemnities . Of which, two are principall, one on his birth day,
which mCtibUi C*"' time was the eight and tv\entith of Septem-
ber. On which himfclfe was royally clothed in cloth ofgo!d,and twenty thouftnd of
his Barons and fouldiers were all apparelled in one colour, and like ( excepting
thcpricc) tohimfelfe, cuery one hauing a girdle wrought ofGolde and Siluer,3n(l
apaireof (hooes, fome of their garments richly fet with pearlcs and Jewells, which
theywcare on the thirteene folemnities , accordingto the thirteencMooncsofthe
yeare. On this day all the Tartars, and fcuerall Princes fubic(ft, prel'cnt him with rich
gifts ; and all Sedb ofRcligions pray vnto their gods for his health, and Icnglife.
But their chiefc feaft is on the firit day of their yeare, which they beginne in Fchri'-
ary, celebrated by the (jtmAC^h, and all the Countries liibietft to him : in w hich they
are all arayed in white, a colour in their eflimation portending good luckc. And then
he is prefcnted with many clothes and horfes of white colour, and other rich prefents,
in the fame religiouflyobferuing the number of ninejasiiinc times nine horfes, if they
be able, and fo of peeces of gold, cloth, and the relK Then alfo the EIephants(whici»
arc about (lue thoufand)arc brought forth in fumptuous furniture : and Cr.mcls ccuc
rcdwithfilkc. Andinthe morning they prefent thcmfclucs inthcHallas manyas
can, the ixHttanding without in their due order. Fit(t,thofcofihe Iiriperiall proge-
ny; next, the Kings, Dtikcs, and others, in their due place. Then commeth forth a
great man or Prelate, "\ hich crieth out with a lowd voycc ; Bow downe your felues,
aaJwrrfliiprwhichtheyprefently doc, with their faces to the earth. This Prebtc
addeth , God fauc and prei'erue our Lord long toliuc with icy and gladncfle. They
allanfwere; God grant it. The Prelate a gainc: God encreafe his Dominion, and
prcfcruc m peace all his fubic6ts, and profper all things in all his Countries . Wherc-
unto they anlwer as before. Thus they doc worfliip fourc times. After this, the faid
Prelate goeth to an Altar there , richly adorned ; on which is a redde Table with the
name of the Great Can written in it, and a Cenfcr with Incenle, which hee incenfcth
in ftead of them all,with great reucrcnce performed vnto the Tabic. This done, tliey
retumcto their places, ajid prefent their gifts,and after are feafled.
When CitiUt had oucrthrowne Nmmih his vncle ( as before is faid) vnderflanding
that the Chriftians obferued theirycarely folemnity of Eafter , liee caufcd them all to
come vnto him,and to bring the Booke of the foure Gofpels,which he incenfcd often
with great Ceremonies, deuoutly killing it, and caufed his Barons to doe the like.
And this he obfeniethalway in the principall fcaftsofthc Chriflians, as fkrtHmajft
ind Es/ler. Thelikc he did in the cnicfc feafts of the Saracens, lew e$, and Idolaters.
The caufe(he faid)wa$ becaufe ofthoie foure Prophets , to which all the world doth
reucrence : I e s v s of the Chriftians , Mihomtt of the Saracens, UMofes of the
lewcs, and SogtmMmiMrCMM the firft Idoli of the Pagans : and I (faith hee) doe ho-

O/t/u iltfrttion f Religion tmong the Tdrtats : and of the diuert
jortSffeiis^ and nations »j them ntw remaining.
Fter fo long narration of the Religion of the auncient Tartan , and of
the Caihayans , \^ here their I:n)perours fixed their abode : it follow,
ethtoconhdcrof the tiinej following, wherein they htuebecncdi-
uidcd both in policie and faith. Muf^mm » ditmlctn mem into fme
tnincipall forts : \vhich may likiwife be fubdiuidcd into many inferi-
our braunchcs or Hords. The Hrll of thefc he callcth Tauarh mm$r,
or the leiTc.which is in Eurnpebetwixt Bonfihtttes & T^nau comprehending launca
Cherftntfm , inhabiccd by tnc /'r<f«f(f» Tartars, or is "BronioviM ^ tearmcth them
/•^r^rrtifw/fiofPereccpiaatowncandCaftlc inTamica : they arc called alfo Oj(/</«c«.
pstniCrmt, ofiwoTo'.vnesbcaring thofcnamcs. Thcfc arc now fiibic(ft to the
Turkc both in ftatc and religion , hauing fome Townes and MahumetancTcmpltj,
and monalleries and Turkilh garrifons , and a few Temple; and pcrfons Ciiriftiin , of
the Armenian, Grecian and Weftcrncprofcflion . They line in tiieirhomciy cottages
in the winter, but in the fummer.wandcr in their carts as the otherTanats.then whom
they are fomewhat more ciiiile. They pay three hundred ChrilHans ycarely tothe
Turkc fortubutc : of whom their /frf«,fince the time cfZf//w,recciueth abanner, anJ
his approbation to the Empire , giuing his children or brethren in hoflagc . They e -
Ictl alio an heirc apparant to their empire whom they call QalgA , and it the Cn't will
prefcrrc his fonnc to thatdignitie:hec killethall his brethren , as thcTuikcs ahb
dcalc with theirs.
It lliould feemc that they dcriuc their pcdcgrce from <f/«5*f , defcendcd ( if I
may conieiiurc, where ccrtainchiftorie failcth) offomc ofihc fonncs oi'BMthj , the
great Conquerour in ihofe parts ofthe world . Lechtan Qm was tWe-firft which ruled
inTaurica: long fmcc ^Athii time. They vfc the Chaldean and Arabian letters : tiiey
haue their CWir/ to adminifter religion and iulhce, as hauc thcTurkes. Ofthefe Eu-
ropxan Tartars cBrfl«/<»«/«/,/^^5/»*«,and others hauc written a Difcourfe, to whom
I rcferre fuch as defire to know further of their affaires.
They count the Don or riuer Tanaisholy, inrefpedtofthe commodities which it
yeeldeth them. Thefc Tartars 'i palfing through rhc confines of Polonia and Podolia,
to help the Turkc in the warrcs of Hungary , the waycs being Iccured and defended
with the garrifons, they vfed a new ftratagcm to make way, by driuing a multitude of
Buls before thcm,which contrary to their expc£tation,afftighted with the Ordnance,
recoiled vpon their driucrs, treading them clowne, and fcattcring them . The C6,w,
when St.h*thorYi\\\^ of Poland was dead , fcnt his cmbalTadours to bee defied their
King; affirming, that their Pope fhould be his,their/'^>«Whisalfo : and for dainties,
horfc-flefh would contcnt^im . His fuite was rcicdtcd w ith laughter.
The fecond part in this diuifion is attributed to T^rt^ria Deferta , fo called of the
Defcrt huge tti&. of Countrey betweenc Tanais , the Ciffian Sea , and the lake
Kitaj ! fomctimc knowncbythcnamcof5<srw<jf/<i Afiaticn , It containcth many
Tribes : of which the principall Me,Zav9/heHjis, called B$ilgar Tartan, off 0^4 ; be-

fore mentioned : and after that by Bafilim the Mufcouitc , to whole large ftile BiilgJ-
ria is added , taking that name oif^olva , as it were Volgaria, or of T^w/^rfratowne

which after mu:h trouble they Ihould oucrcome : which accordingly prooucd true,*
Ofthe faithfulneffe ofthefe holy men hee had good proofe, both here and cHcwhcre
they refufing not to expofe themfelues to danger , and to forfweare themfelues rather
then betray nim and the ChriiUans to their thecuifh Countreyrnen. For thcfe robbers
would hauc difmifled the BufarmMt, fo they call their Catholikcs, if they would haue
deliuered the Caflurty that is, infidells, as tney eftcemc the Chriftians,,vnto their po.
wer. One of their holy men (which the enemies had iijrprizcd) by no torments
would confeffe any thing to the preiudicc of his fcllowes . But at laft they were forced
to agree, & giuc the theeues twenty ninths, that is, twenty times nine feuerall things,
and a Camell to carry the fame away . This Countrey of Turkeman or Turchertan ij
the fir ft habitation of the Turkcs, and the peoplewere called by that name, both in
Hatthons time, and in the time of Mattritttu. Their ' religioti then was the fame with
that which we haue aboue related ofthe Tartars, worfhipping the foure Elements &c.
as in the Turkifh Hiftory you haue heard, flmy nametn the Turkes nearer Mtotis ;
but whether in deuouring the people with their fwords, as they did the pafturcs with
their cattell, they came from hence , or thcfe from thence , or that Plmy might cafily
wander in fo wandering a fubieft ; all auerre, that from hence they went firft into Pcr-
fia, and in fuccecding ages hauc made many fertile Countries, like their Turcoman la,
where Maiftcr lenkmfen faith groweth no grafle, but heath whereon their cattell
feed : The OttomMtt-hotk blafting withhis breath the groundhe treads on, (hath ac.
cording to their owncProuerbe) there neuergrowetngraflirmorc. ThcTurkeman
Nation is (faith HWf(^0»j for the moft part Mahumctan, and many of them without
Law at all. They vfe the Arabian Letters.
Thefe Dcferts and Theeues haue almoft made vs forget our diuifion ', according to
which wee fhould haue told you, that from the Calpian Scahitheryounuift (accor-
ding to Magmui) call the Tartars generally Z4gAth»yMn, kfo called of Z4g4thay, the
great C<*»i brother,fomtimc their Prince. Which name ' comprehendcth alfo diucrfc
other Nations more ciuill then the former, poffefling the Countries fomctime known
by the names ofBaUhMffMy SogduntMy Margiana, now /</#/(«, that is, Greene heads,
ofthe colour oftheirTurbants : differingfrom the Perfians, whome they call for like
caufc, Redde-hcads. Thefe haue cruell warres continually with the Perfians, whome
they call C^pturt (as they doc the Chriftians,) for theirjuppofed hercfic, ofwhich in
the Perfian relation hath beene fhewed, and for that they will not cut the baireof
their vppcr lips,for which they arc accounted ofthe Tartars great finncrs. In "^Begha
is the feate of their Mctropolitane, who is there more obeyed then the King,andhath
fometime depofed the King, and placed an other at his pleafure. There is a little riuer
running through the City, whofe water brecdeth in them that drinkc thereof (efpe-
ciallyftrangers) aworme,ofanelllong, which lieth in the leggc betwixt theflclh
and the skinne , and is plucked out about the ancklc, with great Arte of Surgeons

couite, and when thev will reniouc from one place to another, then they will make fa,
ctifices,in njanncr following. Eucry kindred doth facrifice in their ownc tent, and he
that is moft ancient, is their Prieft. And firft thePrieft doth begin to play vpon a thing
JiketoagreatfiuCjWithaskinneontheoneendhkc adrumme; his drumme-fticke is
about a /pan long, and one end is round like a ball,couered with the skin of an Hart.
AHb the Prieft hath as it were a w hitc garland on his hcad,and his face is couercd with
a pcccc of a (hirt of male,with tinany linall ribbcs, and teeth of fiflics and wildv' beafts
hanging thereon. Thenhcfingcth,aswcevfc here in England to hollow, whoope,
or ftiout at Hounds, and the relt of the company anfwere him with this Outci htn,]
'jJ*'*.^*'«.towhichthePrieftwithhisvoicercplicth. And theyanfwere him with
thefclfc-famewordsjfo many times, till in the end, he become, as it were, madde
falling downeas he were dead, hauing nothing onhimbutaflm,andlying on hii
backe. I percciued him yet to breath, and asked why he lay fo : theyanfwered. Now
doth our G o o tell him what we fhall doc, and whither we fhallgoe. And when
he had lienftiU a little while, they cried thus three times together, OfArf#, Ofi!>4#,
OjjA^ff, and as they vfethcfe three calls, hee rifeth with his head, and lieth downc a.
gainc; and then herofc vp and fang with like voices as he did before, with the like
anfwere, fghs, /gftM, Igha. Then he commaunded them to kill fiue OUcns, or great
Deere, and continued fingiug ftill, both he and they as before.Then he tooke a (word
ofa cubit ?nd a fpanne long (I did mete it myfelfc) and put it into his belly halfc
way, and fometimc Icffe, but no wound was to be fcene; they continuing their fweec
fong ftill. Then he put the fword into the fire, till it was warmc, andfo thnift it into
the flit of his fliirt, an d thrult it thorow his bodie,as I thought, in at his nauell,and out
•this.jndamcnt, the point being out of his (hirt behinde, I laid my finger vpon it.
Then he pulled out the fword, and fate downe.
Thisbeing done, they fct a kettle of water ouer the fire to heate, and when the wa.
ter doth fceth, the Prieft beginncth to fing againe, they anfwering him. For fo long ts
the water was in fcethine,they fate and fang not. Then they made a thing being foure
fquare,and in height and fquarenes of a chaire, and couered with a gowne vety dofe
the fore-part thereof, for the hinder-part ftood to the tents fide.Their tents are round
and arc called C/>fl»»<?, in thcirlanguagc. The water ftill fecthlngonthefire, and this
fquate ftat being rcadie,the Prieft put ofFhis fliirt, and the thing like a garland,which
was on his head, with thofe things which couercd his face, and he had on yet all this
while a paire ofhofen ofDeerc-skinnes, with the haireon, wliich came vp to his but-
tockcf. So he went into the fquare feat, and fate downe like a Taylor, and fang with
a ftrong voice or hollowing. Then they tooke a fmall line made of Decre-skinnes of
foure fathomcs long, and with a fmall knot the Prieft made it faft about his nccke.and
vnder his left arme, and gaue it totwomcnftandingon each fide ofhim, which held
the ends together. Then the kettle of hot water was fet before him in the fquare feat,
vhichfcattheynowcoucredwithagowneofbroad-cloath without lining (fuch as
the Ruflcs vfc to weare). Then the two men which did hold the end of thfline, Itill
ftanding therc.bcgan to draw, and drew till they had drawn the ends of the line ftiffe,
andtogether; and then I heard a thing fall into the kettle of water, which was before
him in the tent. I asked what it was, and they anfwered, his head, fliouldcr, and left
«rmc, which the line had cut off, I meane the knot, which 1 faw afterward drawnc
hard together. Then I rofe vp,and would hauc looked whether it were fo or not, but
they laid hold on me, and faid, that if they fiiould fee him with their bodily eyes, they
(hould line no longer.(And the moft part of them can fpeake the Ruffian tongue'to be
vnderftood,and they tooke mc to be a Ruffian) Then they began to hallow with thefc
words, Oghaoo, Oghnoo, OghMt, many times together: in the meane while 1 faw a
thing like a finger of a man, two times together, thnittthorow the gowne from the
Prieft. I asked them that fate neere to mc what it was, that Ifaw, and they faid, not hii

After the death o.'*ihai Briimnn Conqueror, his fonne, in the fecond moncth of his

That he came t6fuccour his Lord agiinft the Avan RebcU. The King enraged hcre^
at,fent prel^mlypartof his forces to take him, and prefent him captiuc: but th«
fouldiofs rcftjfed to follow the Generall in this Enterprile, and returned to theit

him to come to him : fie refufcd his prcfence, but denied not his wonted Tributes.
Hereupon the King, after two yeares prouifionforthe Warre, made that vnhappie
Expedition in the former Chapter mentioned. And there the waters taking part with

and becaufc they were in Latine, no man would buy them, till at latt another lew
became Chapman . tMtcMy one of the wealth ielt men which Europe held, died
poorc in an Hofpitall at Conftantinoplc . And this was the iiTue of their Pilgri-

the Sea with herfliallow Channell, confpiring the dcftruftion of many hccdlciic Ma-
riners, that here will aduenture as tenants to the Sea in their mouing houfcs . Once
(by a mightier hand) was it helped topreuaile againtt the Seas forco, to difcoucr a
drie Landinihemiddeft thereof and with her waterie ereftcd walls to guard thefe
new paflcngcrs, till the fame hand reuerfcd it, or rather rewarded the thencmptie

Socotera is without the Strait. The naturals arc Cbriftians,of S. ThmM SeA,

a Church. They arc great warriours, both men and women, and great Magicians.
They haue no.vfc of TraflSckc, Lea:er$,'or Nauigation, and yet arc eftecmed the no-

Two r other Iflands confront this; of which one (they fay) is the habitation of
men, and the other of women, which fometimcs haue cntercourfi: one with the other,
but the Ayre (Natures inexorable and heauie handmaid)not fuffcring any long abode

Before we leaue thcfe Moluccas and t>heir dependant Iflands, we may conclude with
a Tragedie, wherein blinde Superftition,and beaftly crueltie, were principall Aiders.
tAU.itifi.tHJ, V/hcnLMiMe/tm'^ was Goucmourof the Portugall Fort inTernatc, he kept a Sow,
Oriat. <.4<f. which fome of the deuoutcr Mahumetans killed. He getting the chiefc Pricll (acccf,
forie to the fa6l)into the CaHle, at his deliuerie made his face be grcaf'd with Bacon
by the laylor. which caufed the people to offer abufe to fome Portug».|$. (JHentJiM
in reuenge cut off the hands of two of them, the third had his hands bound behind
him, and was baited withtwodoggesonthe Sea-fhore: which his implacable ene-
mies tranfported him into like dogged humour (though he were not with Htcnbt
ttansformed into the fhape) infomuch, that faftening with his teeth on one of their
cares, he held &ft,till his itrength fai]ing,he funke into the Sea with the dogge , and
was drowned.
In Celebes they << eate mans flefii. e The King of the Moluccas was wont to fend
condemned perfons to Celcbe»,to be deuoured. Caftrim conuerted the King. South-
ward of Celebes is fiiuated a little Ifland , where Sir Franeu *Drake graued hjj
fliippe. This Ifland is throughly growne with Woods, in which euery night cer.
taine fierie Flyes made fuch a light, as if euery twiggeor tree had beene a burning
c-i<\i(^^ Candle. Here they found Battcs as bigge as Henncs , and plentie of Cray-fifljes fo
^ greatjthat one would uifficc foure men to their dinner : they digged ihemlelucs holt i

domes, in fix of which himfelfe had beene,which he nameth Felech, wherein the ru-
rall inhabitants were Idolaters,the Citizens Moores : the Idoll-worfhippers eatc any
(Icfli whatfoeuer, of man,or bcaft, and obfeiue all day what they firft ice m the inor-
Ming.
f UXud, t J, Baima f , the Iccond, acknowledged the great Ch^mt Soueraigntie, but payed him
no tribute. Here were certaine Vnicomes, headed like a Swine, footed like an Ele-
phant,with one home on iheii forheads(with which they doe not hurt any,but to that
tnd vfc certaine prickles that ^row on their tongues:) They delight alfo in the Myrc
like Swine. Here are little Apes, much refembling men in their countenance, which
they vfed to preferue with certaine Spices,hauing flayed oft'their skinnes, and left the
haire growing in thofe parts, where Nature cauleth men to be hairie, and fell them to
Merchants, to be earned ouer the world as the bodies of little OKn ; happily the onely
/15 v*,^A ■ true Pygmies the world yceldeth.
In Samara,the third of thofeKingdomes,none of the North-ftarres can be fecnc.
They are Man-eaters,and Idolaters ; but not fo brutifh as in Dragoian,the next King-
dome : whercjifa man be fickc,his kinfmen confult with their Sorcercr$,who enquire
of theDeuilljWhether he ftiall efcape, or no ? And if the anlwcrc be Ncgatiuc , they
fend for certaine men, fpecially defigned to ihatvillanous Myfterie , which ftrangle
him ; and then they dreffe and eate him amonefl the kindred,euen to the very marrow
in hi? bones. For (fay they) if an;^ flcfli fliould rcmaine, it would putrifie,and worme!
would brecde thereof, which after (for want of fuftcnance) would perifli, whereby
the foule of the dead partie w^nld be much tonnented. The bones they burie fafely,
that no Beafl fhould touch tiwin : fuch dread haue they of Beafts and crueltie in »
more then beaflly aueltie, and fuch % care to obferue huroanitic jid pietie in a moft
impious inhumanitie.

onoff4buIotijreporM)ma<le« t'louch he would ftrikctheKing with his fword, ai
he wai entering tne Temple, and put nim in great fearc, whereas before he had made
amockcof it. TheSi»»|f4/»/or Natiue Inhabitants lay that the world ftiajl not pe-
rifti as long as that Image continueth fafe. When any one ;i ficke, hce facrificeth
to the Diuell, hauinga boxc hanging in his houfc to that end, therein to gather
fdmewhatforhispffcring. Soraepray tnto the Image of an Elephants head, made
of wood or ftone, that they may ootainc wifedome (whereof this prayer argues their
great want): fomeeate no quicke^ieature. They eat no beefe, nor drinkc any wine ;
they worfliip whatfoeuer firtt meeieth them in the moming.
Gitrgt St Iherge was bovmtifully entertained of the King ofCandy, " but Seh«U
it W*fr« was with diucrs of his companions flaine, after he had receiued much kind-
neflcofthe King; his importunitic to get the/King into hjsfliip, making him fufpei>
fometreacherie.
The King of Motecalo had eares adorned with iewels, and hanging downe (the
lappets of them were fo ftretched) to his (boulders. He was kinde to the Hollanders :
buttheyinccnfcdhimagainftthemby killing ccrtaineKine; forfome of themfaid,
that the foules of Kineflaine after that manner, were hurled forthwith into hell. Hee
obferued one TagtJf, to whole feaft he went while the Hollanders were thcre^tlie fo-
lemnitic whereof was to continue ten dayes,rill a new Moone, with great concouilc
of dcuoutnerfons.
Of theluperftitionsofPerimal.and the worfhippeofthc Apes tooth, celebrated
in this Hand ; we haucalreadie (hewed in the Chapter * o( Ntrfmj^d, The Cinga-
Icn language which they fpeakc in this Hand, is « thoughttohauebeene there left by
the Chinois,fometimcs Lords of Zeilan. Yet in U^.'PamIm hisdayesthe Tartari-
ans had not pierced thus farre. For the King then raigning, rcfufcdto Mi to C^blai
Cmk (then the greateft Monarch in the world) at a price, a Ruby which hee had left
him by his Anceltours, erteemed the richcft iewell in the world, being (as he r faith) a
Ibanne long, and as bigge as a mans arme, cleerc and fhining, as if it had beene 1
nre. Inthislland were reckoned nine Principalities or Kingdomei, but » not long
fmce their chicfeKing was murthered by a Barber, who drauc the other Kings out of
the Countrey, and vlurpcd the Monarchic to himfelfe, praftiling hoftilitic againft
thePortugalls.
The Ct^gtlM are very cunning Artificers in all mettalls. One of them prefcnted
the Arch-bi(hoppe of Goa with a Crucifix, fo cunningly wrought, as if he hadgi-
uen lift to the Image of one dead. Hee lent it to the King of Spainc as a rare icwdl,
not to be equalled in Europe.
The Inhabitants hcere are aftiue and expert in lugling, both men and women,
traucll Jng through India with their ftrange Hobby-horfes, to get money by this va-
nitie. The Sea-coaft (as in other Indian Hands) is inhabited witn Moores, the Inland
with Pagans,
a Oltarbtft. The Portugallshaue afortre(rc at Colombo. Thellanders • are not warriours:
they giuc ihemfelucstopaftime and pleafure : they goe naked from the girdle vp.
ward : they make wide holes in their eares, which they Itretich out with the waight of
their iewels to their fhoulders.
The Hollanders found exceeding, both good and bad, cnrertainment with the
King of Candy. Now for that qucftion, whether Zcilan orSamatribcthatTapro-
banc of the Ancient is very doubtfull. Yet that report in 'Pliiy *» of Taprobane
fcemcs more to encline for Zeilin. For hee faith, that in CUudtm time, a fcruant of
t^tmim 'P/«f4»fi« , which was Cu(tomer for the Red-fea, was carried from the
Coalt of Arabia, be(ides Carmania, in fifteene dayes, which I thinkc could not poifi-
bly be done to Samatra. Likewifc the exccUencie of the Elephants beyond all the
Indian agrees to Zeilan : and had Samatra bccne fo knowne atthattimr, the other
?arts of India (it is like) had beene better dilcouered then they were in thofc times.

He * mentioncth the Temple o(S4Hinn, whofe Prieft called TyrtMnm (vndcr pre.
tcnceof 5(rti»r«r« commaundcmcnt) would dcinaund the companic of what Ltdie
he liked, to bcare the God companic at night : which the husband did not much
iHicke at, edceming it an honour to haue a God his corriuall . But Tjrmum fhut.
ting the woman into the Temple, bj fecret paflages conucycd himfclfe thither, in-
to the hoUov/ Image of SMtmrnt, in which he ncld conference a while with the wo-
inan, and after by a deuil'e putting out the lights, fatisHed his luft in committing
thofeworkesofdarknefle, which after being brought to light, caufed the Temples
deftrudlion.
TheyhadBreart-pbtescf 5/r4^« in eucry houfc, in the Walls, Entries, Pofls,
Windowes; in (tead whereof they afterfaftcned Crofles . The Croflc in the %/£.
typtian Myrteries fignified life to come. They had a tradition. That their Religion
Inould continue, till there came a Signc, in which was Life. " Andbyihisoccafion
many of their Priefts were conuerted, SoKtmen" rcportcth the fame. That in pur-
ging of 5*r<»/)« Temple at Alexandria, the Croflc, being found among other their
Hieroglyphickes , was occafion of the coiuierfion ot many vnto the Chriftian
Faith. This P Temple, and the Temple of 'B^cchm , were turned into Chriftian
Churches.
0/;iw^/MfaPhilofopher,\vith a companie of feditious Ethnickes, fortified them-
felues in Serspie Temple, and caufed many by force to ftcrificc: and when the
Chriftians burned their Images, hcanfwered,That the Images were but corruptible
matter, but the Vcrtues,orDiuinePowers,which inhabited them, were fled to Hca*
iftrn. This I thought to mention for their fakes, who to their Image-worfhip haue
borrowed the like Hcaihenifti playftcr.
T^jfwM addcth. That in deftroying the Temples, they found Rcliqucs of theit
bloudieSupcrttition, the heads of infants cut off, with the lippes gilded. The de-
uottonof CoM^M was not inferior to that of Alexandria. Here, through the fub-
tlctie of the Prieft, the Chaldarans were vanquifiicd . For whereas they challenged
theirCod F/r* to be thcftrongen:,as deuouringotherWooddenandMettall-Gods,
he conueyed an Earthen pot full cf holes, which he had flopped with Waxe, and
filled with water, into the Image : and wheiithc Chaldarans made their fierietryall
hereof, the Waxe melting, the water ifliied, and quenched the fire . Hence it is, that
they made the Image of ^nw^w with feet and nccke {hort,and a Belly like a Barell,
orwater-Veflcll.
TMcitrnt reportethcertaine miracles wrought at Alexandria by theinftigationof
StTMfit i the curing of a lame andblinde man, whom that God had moucd to feeke
this helpe at Vefi«tfi4ns hand ; which hcc alfo perfourmed . Hee confulting with this
Oracle, faw fodainclybchmdehim in the Temple one B<i^A</«, whom by prcfcntcn-
quirie he found to lie fickc fourc fcore miles thence in his bed . The name yet was an
ominous fignc to him ofthc whole Empire, as dcriued of B<tnMoV. The originall of
this God (faith he) is by fome imputed to Pt0lomtM Lagt^ who hauing in Alexandria
ereded Temples, and inftituted religious rites, feemed in his flcepc to fee a tallyoung
man, warning him to (end into Pontus, to fetch thence his Image , fodainely anerva-
nifliing in a flame of fire . When the t/£gyptian Priefts could not fatisfie him in the
interpretation of thefe things, TVwtffA^w an Athenian , whomehcehadfentfortobe
chiefe Maiftcr of Ceremonies , willed him to fend to Sinope , wherein was an ancient
Temple of P/«f#, hauing in it the Image oCProferpma. Ptohmey ncgled^ing this; and

ing (in the way) further hereunto incouragcd by the Delphian Oracle. Scydrothtmit
protracting the bufinefie was by difeafes and manifcft anger ofthc Gods, enforced to
aflemble and perfuade his people to fuffcr the carrying away of their God. But whiles
they refifted this entcrprife, the ambitious Idolt,without once taking Icauc, conueied

orTaphra.or Oca. Sabrada.and Lcptis. It was built by the Romanes, conquered by
the Gothes,and after by the Saracens. And after the dcftruaion thercof.thc Africans
built a new Tripolis, wherein were many fairc Temples, Colledges tor Students, and
Hofpitals. Corneisalvvaydccrc.becaufe their Fields arc Sand. ' Itwasfubieft vnto
the Kino of Tunis, till the King of Fez carried away the King of Tunis pnfoner . At
which t!?nc the Genovefc Fleet of twentic faile tookc Tripolis.and fold it to tncFczan
for fiftic thoufand duckats. But the Kings of Tunis recouered it after. Zachariat bc-
incKine played thcTyrant, and therefore was expelled, anda certaine Citizen was
athianced to the Throne ; who at firft goucrned modelily, but declining to tyrannic,
was murthcrcd : And a Courtier of Prince eyihhcer.who had made himfcltc an Hc-

n*rre thither,who came thither in the cucning.and the next day tooke it: and the King

tha, called now Conftantinaandlol, now as fomc write Bu^ia. The Numidiansarc
notorious for cxccirnic vcncry . For the Religion of thcfe.whom Lto terraeth Numidi-
ans,he faith,That in old time they worfhippcd certain Planets,and facrificcd to them:
and'vvere like to the Pcrfians in worOiip ot rhc Sunne,and the Fire,to both which they
built Temples ; and like the Veltals in Rome, kept the fire continually burning. Chri-
ftian Relfton began to quench this fire(as is c thoiight)in the Apoltlcs daycs,which zU
ter was peruertcd by Arianifme, fubuertcd by Mahomctifmc. lew i(h religion had
hcercfome footing alfo, before thac Chriftianity was preached to them.
The Numidians hue long, but lofe their teeth betuncs (fowrc iauce for their fvccc
Dates) and their eyes alfo pay vntiinely tributes to the fands, which thewindcs very
bufily and often fend as their feairchers and cuftomcrs, till at hrt they can fee to pny
ihcmnomorc. In all Numidia the French difeafc (aswctcimcic) isvnknownc, and
in Libya. Ihaue knowne, faith Lto, an hundred pcrfons that hauc bccne cured of tlmt
malady, onely by pafltngouer Atlas and breathing this ayre. This difcafe was not
heard of in Afnca,till Kin" Ffr <:/<'•?<»»<' expelled the IcwesouiofSpainCj&theMootcs

it th'ercforc the Spanidi difeafc.The Plague alfo infeaeth Barbary once in cen,fiftecne,
orfiucandtwentieycarcs, and dcftroyeih great multitudes, becaufc they hauc little
regard or remedy for it. In Numidia it is fcarcc knowne once to happen in an hui. Ired

Barbary,theyareemployed in bafe offices, Scullians, Dungfarmers, and what not>
Neither arc the Libyans or Negros much better.
Ofthc Numidians and Libyans are fiuc pcoples,Zenaga,Guenzaga,Tergs,Lemta,
and Berdeua,and Hue al after the fame manner,that is,without manners or order at all.
Their garments of bafecloath/carcc couerhalfc their bodic. The Gentlemen (Gen-
tlemen muft pardon me the abafing ofthc name) to be diftiflguifhed from the rcll,
wcare a itckct oftlcw cotton with wide fleeues. Their Steeds are Camels, on which
they ride without ftirrops or faddles, and vfe a goad in ttcad of fpurres,and a lether fa-
ttened in a bole bored thorow the griftles ofthc Camels nofc, fcrucs them for * bridle.
Mattes made ofruftics are theitr beds, and wooll growing on their Date-treei yeclds
matterfor theirtents.Their food is ofien-times patience with an empty belly : which
tvhen they fill, bfcad or meat after any fort is abfeni: Onely they hauc their Camels
itnlkCjWhercof they diinkc a difli-fuU next their heart:and ccrtaine dric flcfli foddc in

fomc neucr wafh hands or face, becaufc they ncucr goc to the places where they may
haue water. And the Camels haue ioyned with their maftcrs in this neatneflc, not re-
garding water, whiles they may feed on graflc.
All their life (orthatfpacc rather before they die, not worthy the name of life)
is fpcnt in i.unting,and robbing their enemies; not ftayingabouc three or fouredaycs
ift a place,. as long asthegraffc will ferue their Camels. They hauc oucreucrytnbc
one, in manner of a King, whom they honour and obey. Very rarely is a ludgc
found amongft them, and to him fuch as arc litigious ride fomctimcs fiuc or fix

They tfe mutuall warres, and fomc cat man» ihlK When they take priloncrs in war,

In vaine fcem« that dcliucric, that deliuers vp prefcntly to tnother Executioner.
The llantlcrj, like Neftnnts hungric grootnes, or bafc and blacke gard , fct vpon
the men whomtthc Seas had fpared : but herealfo they found a Iccond cfcape.by
iticaiicsof a Prince named Zifbrnmi, Prince of that and many Hands thereabouts:
who being necrehand with hii Armie, came at the out-cry, and chafing away the
people, tooke them into protettion.
This Ziebm0i had the yearc before giucn the ouerthrow to the King of Nor-
way, and was a great aduenturerin featcj of Armes. Hefpaketo them in Latine ;
ana placed them in his Nauie, wherewith he wonne diueife Hands. T^tto/t bcha-
ued himfelfe fo well, both in faumg the Fleet by his Sca-skill , and in conqucft of
the Hands by his valour, that Zichmm made him Kuighi, and Captaine of hit
Nauie.
After diucrfe notable Exploits, NictltzxmtA three Barkcs,with which he ar-
fiued in Engioncland : where he found a MonaOeiie of Friers, of the Preachers
Order, and a Chuich dedicated to Saint ThtmM, hard by a Hill, that cafteth out
fire like t'f/WwM' and */£'»-•. There is a Fountaine of hot water, with which they
heat the Church of the Monallerie, and the Friers chamben. It commeth alio in-
to the Kitchin fo boy ling hote, that they vfe no other fire to drcfl'e their meat ; and
putting their Bread intoBialTc Pots without any water, it dotli bake as it were in
an hoteOucn. They hauc a!(o finall Gardens.which are coucred oucrintheVVin-
ter lime, and being watered with this water , are defended from the violence of the
Frort and Cold, and bring forth Flowers in then due fcafons. The common people
aftoniilicd with thefe (trange effefts, conceiue highly of thofe Friers, and bring them
prcfcuts of Flc(h and other things.
They with this Water, in the extremitie of the Cold , heat their Chambers,
whicWallb (as the other buildings of the Monaftcric) are framed of thofc burning
ftones, which the mouth of the Hill ca{U forth. Theycaft wateron feme of them,
whereby they arc difloiucd, and become excellent white Lime, and fo tough, that
being contriued in building, it lafteth foreuer. The reft, afierthe fiie is out, ferue
in ftead of ftones to make Walls and Vaults, and will not diflblue, or breake, except
with Ibme yron toole.
Their Winter lafteth nine moneths : and yet there is a faire Hauen , where this
water falleth into the Sea, not fro«n: by raeanes whereof there is great rtfort of
wilde Fowle and Fifli, which they take in infinite multitudes. The Fiftiers Boatei
are made like to a Weauers Shuttle, of the skinncs of Fifties , faftiioned w ith the
bones of the fame Fifties , and beemg fowed togcthei with many doubles , they
are fo ftrong , that in foule weather they will ftiut themfelues within the fame ,
not fearing the force eyther of Sea, or Winde. Neither can the hard-hearted
Rockes breake thefe yeelding VeiTells . They haue alfo ( as it were) a Sleeue
in the bottome thereof, by which, with a fubtile deuifc, they conuey the wa-
ter forth, that Ibaketh into them . The moft of thefe Friers Ipakc the Latine
Tongue.
A little after this, Nicelt returned , and died in Frifland , whither his brother
%/1nt$ni0 had before reforted to him , and now fucceedcd both in his goods and
honour ; whonie Zichmm employed in the Expedition forEftotiland : which hap-
pened vpon this occafion. Six and tweutie yeares before, foure Fiiher-Boatci
were apprehended at Sea by a mightie and tedious ftorme ; wherewith , after
many claycs , they were brought to Eftotiland , aboue a thoufand myles Wert
from Friftand: vpon which , one of the Boates was caft awav, and fix men that
were in it, were taken and brought to a populous Citie ; where, one tliat Ipakc
Latine, and had bcene calt by chauncc vpon that Hand, in the name of the King
asked them what countreymen they were j and vnderftanding their cafe , hec
acoutimed the King thcrrwith. They dwelt there fiue veites. and found it to
bc'ao iiaiid very ri*ch, bccmg little Icffc tlien Ifcland, but fane more fruittull.

They could not learne what became of the fiue men they loft the ysare before : onc-
ly they found lomc of their apparrell; which made them thiiike they were eaten.
They laded thcmfelaes with Ore, and fo returned. And with fiftccnc faylc the next
ycare 1^78, a third Voyage fordifcoyerie was made by thefaid.Optainc and Gc-
t Ftiflandisiu nerall. He went on (here the twentieth of [uneon.Friflandt, which was named by
length 15. them Weft England, where they eipicd certainc Tents and People like thofc ofMit*
league*: the itjcoa^mta. The people flcdde, and they found in their Tents a Bore of fmallNayles,
Southerncpart ^^jj^ Herrings, and Boords of Hr.rc-trec wxU cut, with other thingcs artificially
htimdc of 57. Wrought : whereby it appearcth, that,th?y are workemcn themfeiucs, or hauc trade
degtees,& one with others. Some of them were of opinion. That this was firme Land WnhMetn
fecond, Tfo»OT.« /ffc*ff«i/4, or with Gronland; whereuuto the multitude of Hands of Ice, betwcene
n'ms. that j^d Mtta iHcogmttt induced them. In deparcing from hence, the Salamnndir-
(onc of their Shippes) being vnder both her Courfes and Bonets, happened to ftrike
on a great Whale with her full ftemmc,with fuch a blov<', that the Shippe flood ftili,
' And neither ftirred forward nor backwards. The Whale thereat made a great and hi-
• denus noy rc,and cafting vp his bodie and taylc, prelepcly fanke vnder vtater. Within
* rwo dayes th>y found a Whale dead, which they fuppofed was this which the SaU-
w^jw^frhadftricken. ,. .;
The fecondofluly they cntrcd in 'with the Straits, the entrance whereof was
barred with Mountaines of Ice, wherewith the Bark€'Z)ff«»Af was fiuikc, to the hin-
dcrancc of their proie£ls. For in it wasdrowncd part of a houlc, which they had in-
tended to cre6l there for habitation. The. men were faued. The other Shippes were
in very great danger, the Seas muftcring Armie* of ycic fouldiours to opprefle
them, vfing other natural! ftratagemcs of Foggts and Snowes to further thefe crucll
dcfignes.
Thefe Icic Hands feeme tobauc becnc congealed in the Wnuer further North,

kindle fire with rubbing one fticke againft another. They vfc great blacke Doggcs,

South is dcfcrt, although fitter for habitation. Bcfidcs the abundance of Cod, hecre
«reHcrring5, Salmons, ThornbackCjOiftcrs and Musklcs, withPcarics, Smelts anti
Squids, which two forts come on/horc in great abundance, fleeing from the d-uou-
ting Cod, out of the frying-pan into the fire. It is thonghtthat there are Buffes, and
certaine, that there are Beares and Foxes, which before your face will robbcyouof
your fi(h or flcfti. Before they come at New-found-Land by fiftie leagues, tliey paffc
the banke : fo they call certaine high grounds, as a vainc of Mountaincs, raifing thcm-
fclues vnder the water, about ten leagues in breadth, extending to the South infinitly^
on which is thirty fathomc water, before and after twc hundred. Sir HHrnfrey Gtlbert
tooke poflcflton thereof, by vcrtuc of her MaicflicsCommiflion. ^nnoit^i-},. It is
with-in-land a goodly Countrey, naturally beautified with Rofes fowcn with Pcafc,
planted with flately trccs,& oiherwife diucrfified both for plcafure & profit. And now
the report gocth, tnat our Englifli Nation doc there plant and fixe a fetled habitation*
k Jbom.Umt$. Neere to New-found land in47.deg. is great killing oftheMorfc or Sca-oxc.'' In
the lie of Ramea, one fmall French (hippc in a fitiall time killed 500. of them; They
are great as Oxen,the hide dre(red,is twice as thickc as a Bulls hide : It htth two teeth
like Elephant»,but fhorter,about a foot long,dearer fold then luory, and by fome re-
puted an Antidoie,notinferiour to the Vnicornes home. The yong ones arc as good
meat as Vcalc. And with the bellies of fiue of the faid fifties(if fo we may cal thefe Am-
phibia,which liue both on land and water) they make a Hoglhead of trainc oilcSome
of our Englifli ftiips hauc attempted this enterprifc for the killingof the Morfe^but not

lutxaut, apaued ftreet:or to vfc laqitet^ C/irtters comparifon,as any field or medow is of grade*
Two of thefe Hands are ftecpe and vpright as any wall,that it is not poflible to climbe
them. On the other which is in 49. deg. 40. min. and about a league in circuit, they
killed,and filled two boats » in leffeihen halfe an houre. Befidcs them which thoy did
eat frcfli,euery (hip did powder fiue or fix barrels of them. There arc an hundred fold
as many houering about,as within the Hand. Some are as big as Iayes,black & w hite,
•with beakes like vnto Crowes: their wings are no bigger then ha Ifs ones hand, and
therefore they cannot flic high, yet are they asfwifi: neere the w iter, as other birds.
They are very fat: thefe they called Aponatz, a leflcrkinde which there aboundcth,
they named Godetz : A bigger, and white,which bite like dogges, they termed Mar-
gaulx.Although it be fourteene lea gues from the maine,yet Beares fwimmc thither to
feaft with theft birds. Onerheyfawas greatasaCow,faith^4rr,>r,aiidas white as
a S wanne, which they did kill and eat,and the flefh was at good as of a two-yearc-old
Calte. About the Port of Breft,they found as maay Iflets, as were impofTiblc to num-
ber, continuing a great ipace.

The fauagcs dwell in houfes made offir-trees,bound together in the top,and fei round
like a Doue-houfe. This, as before is faid, is at the entry of the Riucr into the gulfc of
Saint LaMre»ce.Thc bankes of this Riuer arc inhabited ofpeople that worfhip the Di-
ucll,& fomctimcs facrifice to him their owne bloud. ° Francis the firft,King ofFrance,

ches they foundjWerc the Diamonds of Canada,and thofe of finall value for their brit-
tlcncs. Thus Btttrm, laqius P Cartier made three voyages into thefe parts. Firft in the
yeare i j 34. Then was he gladly welcomed of the Sauages, finging, dancing, artd ex-
prefling pthcr fignes of ioy, as rubbing his armcs withthcir hands, and then lifting

MonJitHrl C/f4w/)/««hauing of late made the fame voyage, difcoiirfcdwith cer-
taincSauagesyetliuing, ofwhom he learned touching their Religion, that they bc-
Iceue in one G o D,who hath created all things : that after God had made all things,
he tookca number of arrowes, and did ftickc them into the ground, from whence
men and women fprung vp, which hauc multiplied euer fince. Touching the Ttinitie,
being asked,a 5<«Mww or Gouernor anfwered,* T^'frrfw-ef *»f tfw/rG o D,»»r S o N NE,

and aboue all : the S o n n e was good, and the Sunnc alfo : but the Mother was naught
and did eat them, and that the F A T her was not very good. Being asked, if they or
their anccftors had heard that God was come into the world: He iaid that he had not
fecnchuTi; but that anciently there wer Hue men, who trauelling toward the fctting
of ihcSunnc,metwithG o d, who demanded of them, whithcrgocyce? They an-
fvvered,wegoctofcekeforourliuing.G o d faid,Youfhallfindeitheere: But they
not rcgarding,pa(rcd further:and then God with a ftone touched two of them, who
were turned ihtoftones.And he faid againeto the three other,whither go yc? they an-
fvvered,and he replied as at firft: ihcy yet paflTing furthcr,he tooke two liaiics.and tou-
ched therewith the two fonnoft,and transformed them into ftaucs. Asking the third
man whither he went,he faid to feeke hisliuing : whereupon he bad him tarry,and he
did fo,and God gaue him meat,and he did eat:and after he had made good chcarit.hc
returned among the other Sauage$,and toldthem all this tale.This Sagamis rlfo told,
that at another time there was a man which had (lore of Tabacco, andGont^me and
asked him for his pipe,which the man gaue him,andhe dranke much of it, and then
brake the pipe.The man was offended hercat,becaufc he had no more pipes,but God
gaue him one,and bad him carry it to his 54|<iww,with warning to keepe it well, and
then l>c fliould w ant nothing, nor any of his. Since,thc faid Srf^<iwwloft the pipe, and
found famine and other diftreflc : this feemeth to be the caufe, why they fay G o d is
notyeiygood.Being demanded what ceremony they vfed in praying to tneir God,
he faid that they vfedno ceremony, buteuery one did pray in his heart, as he would.
They haue among them fome Sauages,whom they call TifetMa, who fpeake vifibly
to the DiucU, and he tells them what they rauftdoe, as well for warre, as for other
things. And if he ftiould command them to put any enterprife in execution, or to kill
a man, ihey would doe it immediately. They bclecue alfo that all their dreames arc
true. So farrc ^hamfleift.

Ow for the manners and rites «f thcpeoplc , thus hath Maftcr ffAyiot
» reported. They belecuc that there arc many Gods, which :hcy call
tJUdtttoMe , hut of different forts and degrees : one only chiefc aud
frcat God , which hath beene from all eternitie. Who , as they af-
rmc, when hcepurpofed to make thcworld , made firft other Gods
ofaprincipallorder,jobeeasmcanesandinftrumentstobcevfedin
the Creatiori and goueracmenf to follow : and aftei;, the Sunnc, Moonc, and Starres,
as petty Gods, and thcinftruments of the other order m6r«principall.
Firft, they fay, were made waters , out of which by theGods was made all diuerfi-
tieofCreatures,thatarcvifibleorinuifiblc. Formankindc, they fay , a woman was
made firft, which by the working of one of the Gods , conceiued and brought forth
[■0/4 1^ v^uxni^i^nildren. And m fuch fort they fay they had their beginning: But how many yeares
or ages hauepafTcd fince, they fay, they can make no relation .- hauing no letters, nor
other metnes to keepe records of times paft,but only Tradition from Father to Sonne.
They thmkc that all the Gods are of humane ftiape, and therefore theyrcprefcnt
thcni by Images , in the formes of men , which they call Kewafiwikj one alone is cal-
led KewM. Them they place in Houfes or Temples , which they call M^chicomMch
where they worfliip, pray, fmg , and make many times offerings vnto them. In fomc
yi/4cfc/f»w«f^we hauc leenc but one Ji:*W4r, infometwo, in other three. Theybc-
Iceue the immortalitieofthefoule: that after this life, as foodie as the fouir is dcpar-
ted froni the b>.Jie, according to the workcs it hath done, it is either carried to hea-

great pit or hole, which they thinkc to bee in the furtheft parts of their part of the
world toward the Sunne-fct, thereto burnc continually. This place they call T'cm.
gi4ffo. Forthc confirmation of this opinion they tell talcs of men dead and rcuiucda-

Thefe were the firft Vaflals thcEmperour hid in New-Spaine. They named the

men yearely to the gods : in this he fomeahat exceeded} the other was true, although
fomc yeires the factifices alfo were thought to amount to fiftie thou'' nd.
This Townc was great, andhadthirtcenc Temples, in each of which were many
Idols of (lone of diuers faOiions, before whom they facrificed men,Doucs,Qiiailcs
and other things with great perfumes and veneratifen.

are yet found,which doe great hurt, and will not, by either cunning or force of the
Spaniards.be reduced to any other courfe. They lecme to haue learned the fauaac na-
ture of the wilde Beafts, of whome and with whomc tlicy line . By this nitanu it
came to paflc, that this wildc mountainous people left the bcft and moft fertile part
of the Countrey vnpconled, which ccttaine remote Nations poflrfTcd, w home tiicv
hfi^KiUliM called bA^4V4M/f 4/, for their ciuilitie. Thefe came from thofc Northcrnc part/
Se" vvhicli now they call New Mexico. The N^vmi^/cm paint their beginning and fird
' ' Tcrntoric m manner oi Caucs (bccaufe of their feucn Tribes) and men comminp out
of them. By the funputation oftheir Bookes this departnre was abouccight hundred
vearcsfincc, and (by reducing toouraccompt) about the yearcof our Lord yjo
Fourefcorc yeares thc^r ftaycd on the way , the caiilc whereof they afciibe to their
Gods, which Ipake vifibly to thcro, and bad them lecke new Lands that had luUi
figncs as they notified.
Thus they proceeded in fceking thofc fignes, and peopled the beft parts, Hill re-
mouuig ihcii lubitations as they found more fertile Countries , leaning oncly the a-
ccd,fickc,and wcaric, with a few others to remaine in the former. Andby thefe jeil
finely proceedings they cntred the Land of Mexico, about the ycare 901, after our
accompt. Thole feuen Nations came not all at once ; but firft the Suchimilcos, next
the Chalcas, and thirdly the Tcpanetans, fburthly thofe ofTefcuco, after them the
Tlalluicans: the fixt were the Tlafcahecans, which helped the Spaniards to conquer
Mexico, and therefore arc exempted from tribute to this day. Thefe expclled.as their
Hifloricsfay, ccrtainc Gyants, whome in pretence of frienddiip they had inui'ted to a
banquet, and intheir drunkenneffe ftole away their weapons.and flew them. Neither
doth this fccmcafable; for at this day art found dead mens bones, of incredible bic-
neffe. I fawatooth(faythyyf»/?^;v Mexico, in the yearcijSd, asbiggc.is thcfill
of » man, and according tothis,all the reft was proportionable . Three hundred and
two ycarcs after the firft tranfinigration, thofc of the fcuenth Caue or Linearriued
xvhich IS the Mexican Nation : ihcy worfhipped the Idoll Vit^l,pmt\/i,ind the Deuill
fpake and gouerncd this Nation. He promifed to make them Lords ouer all, which
the other fix Nations pofliflcd, andtogiuethema Land plcntifijll in riches ; where-
upon they went forth, carrying their Idoll with them in a Coffer of Reedes , fiip-
portcd by fourc of their principall Pncfls , with whome he talked, and communis
cated his Oracles and Direaions. Helikewife gaue them Lawes, and taught them
the Ceremonies and Sacrifices thty fhould obfcrue. And eucn as the pillar of Cloud
and Fire conduftcd the Ifiaelitcs in theirpaflagc through the Wilderncflc, fothis
apifh Dcuill gaue them notice when to aduaunce forwards , and when to (lay.
The firft thing they did whercfocuer they came, was to build ahoufe or Tabernacle
tor their r//*//pw*//, which they fetalway in the middeft of their Campc, and there
placed the Arke in the middeft of the Altar . This done, they fowed the Land, and if
their God commanded to gather, they did fo, and if, to raife their Campc, they obey-
ed, leauing the aged, ficke, and weary, to gather the fi-ui:$, and to dwell there. Tho
chief cCaptainc whom theyfollowed was called Mexi, whence came the name of
their = Citic and Nation. Their Idoll perfwaded them, when fome were bathin-^
themfclues in ccrtainc Lakes, to rcmouc the Campc clofejy, andfteale away tliei^
cloathes : whereat they which were thus forfaken, changed their language and man-
ner of life, retaining al way their hatred to the Mexicans. They peopled the Prouince
Mechouacan, From hence to Mexico is fiftieleagues,and vpon the way is Malinalco
which they fay was peopled by a Witch and her family, whom by the commande-
nicnt of their god they left behind, clofelyrcmouing the armie by night. They fhvcd
in a place called Tuta, where by flopping a Riuer, they drowned a Piaine,and planted
k round with Willowcs and other Trees; and many liking the place, talked of ftay-
ing there : whereat their God offended, threatened the Piicfts, and in the night flew
thofe which had cpnfulted of flaying. Their hearts were found pulled out, and their
uomackes opened, \vhich,aficr- that, they obicrucd in their Sacrifices. 1 he Mexicans,

Iworne, and he crowned. The Crowne was like that of the Dukes of Venice. His
name fy^camafixtli ngnificth a handfull of Reedcs , and therefore they carric in
their Armories a hand, holding many Arrowesof Recdei.
The Mexicans at this time were tributaries to the Tapanecans,whofe chiefe Ci-
tie was Azcapuzalco: who iudging, according to the nature of Eniiie and Sufpiti-
on, that rhcy were lb much weaker, how much the ftrongcr they faw their ncieh-
bours, thought to opprcflc them by a ftrangc policie, in impefing an vncouth and
(in fliew) impoflfible tribute : which was, that they fliould bring the Tapunecan
King a Garden, planted and growing in the water.
In this their diftreflc, Vitxlifnt'^li taught them to doe it, by cafling earth vpon
Reed e$ and Graflc laycdinthe Lake, and planting in this mouing Garden Maiz
Figges, Gourds, and other things, which at the time appointed they carried growing

fignifieth a rich Feather: They annointed him with an Ointment, which they call
Diuine, being the fame wherewith they annoint their Idoll.
Of their Coronation thus fLopi'^de Gomara fayth,That this was done by the High
Prieft, attyred in his Pontificaltbm , attended with many others in Surplices, the
Oyntmcnt was as blackc as Inkc. They bicflcd him, and fprinklcd him fourc times
with holy Water, made at the time of the confecration of their God. Then they put
vpon his head a Cloth, painted with the bones and skulls of dead men, clothed him
vith a blatke garment, and vpon that a blew, both painted with figures of Skulls
and Bones. Then did they hang on him Laces, and bottles of Poudcrs, whereby he
wasdeliucred from difcafcs and Witchcrafts. Then did he offer Incenfe to Vit^/i.

King of Azcapuzalco his daughter to wife, by whom he had a fonnc called Chfrna/pa-

much adorned his Koyall Citic, pulling downe the old houfcs, and in their roome c-
rcflcd fairer. He let in a courfe of water to the Citie, becaufc that of the Lake was
miiddie . But becaufc they of Cuyoacan v(ed thcfc waters, the chicfc man of that
Citic, which was a great Magician, fought to hinder it, whereby the King being pro-
uoked, fcnt to attach hirn . He cfcaped by his Protean Arts ; now appearing like an
Eagle, the fccond time like a Tygre, the third like a Serpent . But at laft he was taken
«nd ftranglcd,and the Mexicans forced a Channell,whercby the water might paflb to
their Citic, the Priefts meanc-while cafting Incenfconthcbankcs, facrificin" the
bloud of Q^ailes; others winding their Cornets : and one of the chicfc went attyrcd
in a habitclikc to the Goddeflc of the Watc»s,which was falutcd and welcommed by-
all the people. All which things are painted in the Annalcs of Mexico: which Bookc
is now m the Vatican Libraric at Rome . Thus hrc euuironed the Citie with water
like another Venice; andhauingraigncdcleuenycarcs,died.
AfotefHma the fccond was cnofcn, who before his Soucraigntie was of grauc and
ftayeddiipofition,inuch addi<ftcdto his dcuotions. Heretyred himfclfcinto aChap-
peU, appointed for him in the Temple of r»t^iptttxli, where (they fay) the Idoll Ipakc
to him; wherein alfohcehidde hirofclfc, after hcc had intelligence of this Election.
From thence he was Icddc to the H^irth ef their gedi, where he facrificed,with drawl
ing bloud from his cares and the calucs of his leggcs. They attired him with the rov-
all ornaments, and piercing his noflhrills,hung thereat a rich Emerald . Being featcd
in his Throne, the King of Tcfcuco, one of the Eledors, made an eloquent Oration,
g t(fr.7, e.»o. which I^feph s ^c«/?4 hath fet downe word by word, and defcructh a roome here, if
our haflie Pilgrimage would fuffcr.
This Mttepum/i commaundcd,That no Plebeian fliould feme him in any Office in
his Houfe,prouiding Knights and Nobles for that purpofc. His Coronation was fo-
Icmnized with Dance$,Comedies,Banquets,Lights,and other pompc : the facrificcd
eaptiucs were of a farre Prouince toward the North Sea, which he fubducd. Mecht-
i'4f4«,r/4/f«/i«,andT<i^Mtf4neucryceldedtoth«Mexicans j whiA MetefHma told
C»««,that he fpared for the vfc of his facrificcs,ind the cxercife of his fouldiors. H«
laboured to be refpe^ed and worftiippcd as a God. It was death for any Plebeian to
looke him in the face: He ncuer fet hisibot oil the ground,but was alwaics carried on
the fhoulders of Noblemen ; and if he lighted,they layed rich Tapeftrie, whereon he
did goc. He ncuerput on one Garmetit twice, nor vfed one Veffell, or Dilh, aboue
once. He was rigorous in execution of his Lawes, and for that purpofc would dif-
guife himfclfc, to fee how they were execuMd, and offer bribes to the ludgcs, to pro-
uokc them to iniuftice; which,iftheY «cceptcd,coft them their liuci,though they were
bis kinfinen,or brethren. His fall is before declarcd.-it (hall not be amifTc hereto men-
tion fonie prodigious fore-runners of the fame. The Idoll of Cholola,callcd ^ft^a-
fM/r, declared, That a ftrang: people came topoflcffehis Kingdome. The King of
TefcucOja great Magician,and many Sorcerers, told him as much. The King fhut vp
the Sorcerers in priion, where they vaniflied prefcntly: wherefore he exercifcd that
rage on their wiucs and children, which he had intended againft them. Hce fought
toappcafe his angrie Gods by Sacrifices, and therefore would haucremoucd a great
ftonc, which by no humane induflrie would be moued, as rcfufinghis attoncment.
Strange voices were heard, accompanied with Earthquakes and fwcllings of the wa-
ters. A prodigious Bird, of the bigneflfe of a Crane, was taken, which on his head
had(as it were) a Glaflc reprcfcnting armed mcn,and in the Kings prefence vanifTicd.
A ftraijger thing befell a poore man, who was taken vp by an Eagle, and carried in-
to a certainc Caue, where hec let him downe, pronouncing thefc words; tMefi
migbtit Lord, 1 hAttt hraughthim whomtthou h4fl commatmdei. There he faw one
like the King, lying aflecpc j touching whome hauing rcceiued threatening Pro-

This Courtis lo great and fpacious,chat eight or ten thoufand pcrfons did dance cafilJ
in a round.holding hands, which was an vliiall ciiflome there , howfoeucr it fcenicth
incredible. There were fourc gates or cntrics,at the Ea(t, Weft, Norfh, and South at
cucry ^ ot which bcgannc a tairecaufcyoftwo or three leagues long. There were in
the midft ofthe Lake wherein Mexico is built, fbure large caufies. Vpon euerv cntric
was a God orldoll, hauingthevifagcturnedtothccaulicriglit againfttlictcttiplc
gate oi'VitzJ/ipnti/i. There were thirtieftcps of thirtiefadomelong, diuidcd from
the circuit of the Court by a ftreet that went bctwecne them. Vpon the top of thc<e
fteps, there \vas a walkc of thirtie foot broadc , all plaflercd with chalkc , in the niidJt
ofwhic!^ v.ajkc was a Pallifado artificially made ofvcry high Trees , planted in order
afadomca-fundcr. Thefc Trees were very bigge and all pierced with I'mall holes
from the foot to the top , and there were rods dkl runne from one Tree to another to
which wcrctycd many dead mens heads, Vpoh cucry rod were many skulls,and dicfc
rankcs ofskulls continue from the foot to the top ofthe Tree. This Pallifado wa^full
ofdcad mens skullsfrom one end to the other, which were the heads of fuchashad
becne facrificcd , For aftei-.thc flefli was eaten , the head was deliuered to the Pricfts
who tyed them in this fort>ntiIl they fell off by morfells. Vpon the top ofthe Temple
werctwo (tones or Chappclls,and in them the two Images ofritzi/,putz./i and T/alor.
Thcic Chappells were carued and grauen very ariificially , and fo high, that to afcend
vp to it there were an hundred and twentie ftaires of ftonc. Before thefe Chappcl's
there was a Court of fortie foot fquarc, in the midft whereof was a hir-h (tone of fiuc
hand breadth, pointed in fafliion of a Pyra; .ide,placed there for the facriticin" of men
as is before flKwcd. ' °
Gomnra c faith, that this and other their Temples were called n«fW//, whichfig,
nifiethGods houfc.ThisTemple,he faith, was fquarc,contayningeuery way as mnch
d as a Croflc-bo w can fhoot leucll : in the midft ftood a mount of earth and ftone fifl
tic f adomc long euery way,built Pyramide-fafhion/aue that the top was flat- and tcrt
fadomc fquarc. Ithad two fuchPyramideftoncs or Altars for facrificc, painted with
monfirous figures. Euery Chappcll had three lofts, one aboucanothcr,fuftcyncdvp-
pon pillars : From thence the eie with muchpleafurc might behold all about the Lake.
Bcfules this Tower, there were fortie other Towers belonging to other inferior Tem-
ples J which were ofthe fame faftiion: only their profpeft was not Weft ward,to make
difference. Some ofthofc Temples were bigger then others, and euery one of afc
uerall God.
There was one round Temple dedicated to the God ofthe Aire , called ^<f<rrf/f#.
uatl, the forme of the Temple reprefenting the aires circular courfe about the earth.
The entrance ofthat Temple had a dore,made like the mouth of a Serpent, with foulc
anddeuilliftircfemblanccs, ftriking dreadfull horrour to fuch as entered. All thefc
Temples had peculiar Houfcs, Prieff s, Gods, and Seruices. At euery dore ofthe great
Temple was a large Hall and goodly buildings, which were common Armories for
the Citie. They had other darke houfes full of Idols ofdiuets mettalls , all cmbrcwed
with bloud, the daily fprinkling whereof makes them fhew black : yea,the walls were
an inch thick, and the ground afoot thick with bloud,which yceidcd a lothfomc fent.
The Pricfts entered daily therein, which they allowed not to others, except to'
Noble pcrfonagcs, who at their entric were bound to offer fomc man to bee facri-
ficcd to thofc flaughter-houfcs ofthe Deuill. There did continually refidc in the
great Temple fiuc thoufand perfons, which had there their meatc, drinke, and
lodging ; die Temple cnioying great rcuennucs and diners Townesfbrthc maintc*
nance thereof.
Next = to the Temple of ritKiIiputx.fi was that of Tefcalipuci, the God of Penance,
PunilTiments ( and Pronidcnce ) very high and well built. It had fbure afcents ; on
the top was flat , an hundred and twentie foot broadc and io"n int' to it was ^ H'l han-

it uaslai*vfullfor them to catc any thing. During the time of this ceremonie they

The Ceremonies, dances.andfacrificci ended, theyw/cttt to rncloath thetnfelues
ftnd the Pricflcs and Ancients of the Temple, tookc the Image of pafte, and fpoi!
led it of all the ornaments, making many peeces of it, and of the confccrated Rolles

the fltlh and bones of their God. Such as had ficke folkes demanded thereof for
them, and carried it with great renerence and veneration. All fuch as did com-
murxicate were bound togiuc the tenth part of this fcedc, whereof the Idoll was
made.
The folemnitie of the Idoll becing ended, an olde man of great authoritic flept
vp into a high place, and with a louic Voice preached their lawe and ceremonies.

whereas their Church deferueth blame for imitating the Diuell and thrfe his idolatrous
Difciples, in their Stupcndious roonrttrs of opinion, and ridiculous offices of fuperfli-
tian. B'Jtyouffiallyet fee a further rffcmblance.
Next to this principall FcatJ oi f^ttx/ifuttji , e was that of r*V4/-^Wrf , of cWefe
eftimarien. This fell on the ninerccnth dayof c^^t, and was called Tozcolr. It
fell euery foure ycareswith the Fea« of Penance, where there wasgiucnf full indul-
gence andretnifwonof finncs. In this day they did facrificea captiue which refcm-
bledtiicldoll TnfahftiCAi .
Vpon the cuen this leleranitie, the Noble men came t« the Temple, bringing a
•liev^' gariTientliie to that o(the Idoll, which the PricH put vpon him, hauing firfl
taken off his other garments, which they kept with great reuerencc. There were in
the Coffers of the IJoll gmany ornaments, ieweli , eare-rings, and other riches,
ai braceieiJ, and precious featherswhichfcruedtonjvfe, and were woifiiipped at
theGodhimCclfe. Befides that garment.they put vpon him certaine enfignss of Fea-
thers, with ranne$,(hadowes,and«9thcr things.
Becing thus attired , they drew the Curtainc from before the doore,that all men
fright Qt. Then came forth one ofthechicfeofttsc Temple, attired like tn. the Idol!,
carrying flower in his hand, and a Flute of earth, hautng a vcryfliarpe found, and
turning toward the Eaft, he founded it, and aftcnbat to the Wefl, North, and SoBth,
hedidthclike.
This done, hecputhis finger into the aire,and then gathered vp the earth •> which
he put m his mouth, eating it in figne of adoration. The like did all that werepre-
fent, weeping, and falling flat to theground , inuocating the darkneflc of the night
and th; wjndes n«t to forfake them, or elfe to take away their liues and free thettt
from ihelab«urs they cndHred therein. Tbecues, Adulterers, Murtherers , and all
other offenders had great fcareand heauineffe whiles the Flute founded , (o as foae
could not hide nor d.ffemblc their offences. By this meanes they all denanded no
other thing oftbeirCod, but to hawe theiroffenccs concealed; pewring forth many
tearcs, with great repentance and forrow, offenng great rtoreof incenfe to appeafc

At the Port ofMorequito they anchored, and theKing being an hundred and ten

Of the l^iuer of TiatCyO'C,
Chap.^,
The King asked theSpaniard$,Whatthcyfoucht?whosrrwcrcd,Siluer and Cold:
He then gaue them a liluer Crowne,which he laid he had taken in the w arres which he
had .vagcd with the Amazones.that dwelt twomoncths iourney ihcncc.Of ihefc A-
niazones the Indians told the fame things that OrclUn* told ot*,necre that riucr,\\ hich
hath receiucd name ofthis fiippcntion.
The Spaniards.^ ith fomc of the Schnvtt for their Guidej, fct forth for this Ama-
zonian Difcouerie, but were encountred by the way with hote waters, in which they
waded vp to the wafte, !\nd fo continued diuerfe dayes, till they came to a Nation caU
led OrthMfM, who were iheninfe(5ted\\iiha Pcftilcnce.caufcd by Famine ; v\hich
Famine the Giafl-.oppers had effeikd, two ycarcs together eating vp all the fruit*
which Nature or Husbandtie had prouidtd for their fuftcnonce.
Thus the Amaz.ones, the Martiall and Venerean Warres of ihc Spani.^rd$, wanted
foodc to hold out further: if ihere were any fiich people, and that they were not, at
before I laid, the warre-likewiues, or happily feme gallant Vir^gtes , that by thcm-
frlucs would let the world Ice what women could doe : but yet I cannot fubfciibc to
EJiC re(t of their Storie.
But I am wcarie ofleading you any further in this difcouerie of ihiv ;i;reat Riuer and
the neere inhabitants, feeing little i* obfcrued in our Author of their Religions.
Some of ihefc barbarous Nations, he fauh, hangcu vp the hairie !<kinne of their flainc
enemies in their Temples, or Houles of deuntion :This people is called leperi. To
giue you a Catalogue of the names of the Indian Nations that inhabited ihefe
part?, would be but tedious: Thefe iouintyes of the Spaniards were to fee whac
goId,and not \^ hat Gods,the Indians had.They pulfcd vp through the land into Peru.
lietwecne Peru < and thefe more Earterly parts, are the Hiils t/^Hdi^or^ndts^
which lift vp theit Snowic toppcs vnto the Clouds, and reach r>.?o the Magellane
Straits. In them isihabitc many fierce Nations, bordering vpon the Nat ons of Brafil
and Plata. The Cir.t^H4Ht. x\\tV'tracMnj, the 1 ovt, the f^ami. Thefe h{\ exercife
their children vnto Antics betimes, vnto iheinthey Commit their Captiucs, for try-
mil of their bloudie forwardnefle ; andhc which at one blow can kill a Captiue,isof
the greateft hopes, and rewarded for his encouragement. To this end they name
their children 7>5r»,X,7»w, that their names might teach them the like be?ftly fu-
rie. At the new and full Moonc they wound themfelues w ith fharpc bones ,
to inure themfelues to thingcs of Wjrrc. They weepe in the cntertainement of
friend, as the Brafihans doe. In fcuenteene degrees ftands the Spanifh Ci-
tMHtn*
tie of litff C'^tff of the M'^untainc . The Riucr Vifntln thofc Villcyes rifeth
and falleth , as Nilus doth . There is a Brooke at //«/> O'if' o^ » wondcr-
fuil nature : it is but little aboue two yards broad, and (hallow withall, not run-
ning abouc a league, butis drunke vp of the thirftie fai.ds. Yet doth this brooke
prouidc thcCitie water , and three forts of good Fifh, and that in great plentie,from
the end of Februaric to the end of May. At otlier times there are few. They vfc tli-
uers meanes of ihauiug their heads , which, ihcy fay, they learned ofone TatCMtnt.
In the womans lying in, the nun kecpes his bed, as is laid ofthc Brafilians.
More towards the EalldwcU the //«/#«/ people, which call themfelues Garay, that
isjWarriours; and others, TapuisorSlaues. The language of the Varai i* common
to all thefe Nations with the Brafilians , that as in tlie other world Latin,StUoi),and
Arabian, fo in that New World the Varay, Cufcan,and Mexican language , will ge-
nerally feme a mans turnc.
The Kingdome ofTucuma ftretcheth tw o hundred leajgues betweene ChiI),BraftI,
Holy Cr»/5i,and Paraguay. The Spaniards hauc therein fiuc Colonics. It is a plaine
Countrie. The P^iraguay inhabitc along the Riuer,fo ca!led,whereofthey takt name.
From Plata Southwaidfi* the great Region of Chica, waflied on the South, Ea£l, an J
WeftbytheSca. Tlicmhabitants are called Patagoncs.
The Spaniardi f which with U^UftlldMe fiilt difcouered the Straits, fav/Gyantt
on this coart, of which he carrycd aw ay one wuh him to Sea, where altcrlor want ol
fuH\cic!U foodc he dyed.

The hrH that It blowes continually on all thatcoaft with onconcly winde fand
that alio d.fieringfrem that which vfuallybloweth bctweenethe Tropikes) namely,
the South and SouthweH. The fecond , that this winde ( in other places rnhealthfull)
IS hrer« To agreeable , that otherwifc it could nor be habitable. The third, that it ne-
uerraines, thunders^ fliowes, Horhailcsinallthiscoafl i And yet (which is afoutth
wonder) a little diflaiice from the coaft, itfnowes a^d raines terribly . Fifthly there
•re tworidges andmountaines, which both runnein one altitude j and the one in
view of the other, aiinofl equally, aboue a thoufand leagues : and yet on the one
part arc grcnforrefts, and it rainesthegrcatcHpartof theyeare, beeinn veryhote.
the other IS all naked, and bare, and verie cold e. So that Peru is diuid?d into three
parts, which they call LUnos, Sierra , and ^ndfs : the firfi rahne aloneft the Sea-
coaft } the SurrM be hilles with fome vallies , and the JudtJ bee fleepe and craPeie
mountamei .The L/d«« ot Plsines on the Sca-coaft haue tenne leagues in breadth in
lome parts Icffc, andinfome alitt.emore. The Sierra containeth with equall in-qua-
Iitietwentyleagues: and the Andes as much, fometimes more, and fcmctimes'leffe.
1 h y runne in le.^gth from North to South , and in breadth from Eafl to Weft : and in
this fo Imall a diHance it raines almofl continually in one place , and neuer in the other
InthePlainesneuer, on the Andeflii a manner continually, though fome times itbe
more cleare there then other. The Sierra in the middes are more moderate, in which it
rawei from September to Aprill, asinSpaine, but in the other halfeyeare, when the
Sunneisfurtheroff, it is more cleare . TheSirrrasyeelde infinite number of T/w*,/.
which are like vvildc Goatcs; and/'4f«, a kinde of fhcepe-affcs , profitable for fleece
and burthen ; the Andesyeelde Parrots, Apes,andMonkies. Some* report that moo-
flrou5 births doe fomet.mes proceede ( as by Natures vnwilling hand) fromthccopu-
latJonot thefe Barbarian, and thefc Monkies. The Sierreopcningthemfelues caufe
yalhcs, where arc the beft dwellings in Peru, and moft plentifull of Maizand Fruits.
Jiis firangc dthatintheyallcy of P^chacaraa, neither the higher Element yeeldeth
raine , nor the lower any flreame, and yetthoc is plenty of rootes, Maiz, and fruits.
They haue large and deeped itches, in which they fowe or fet, and that which erow-
ethisiionnOicd with the deaw : and becaiifc the Msiz will not grow, except it firfl
die, they fct one or two Pilchards heads (which fifli they take with their Nettes
verie plentifully in the Sea) therewith, and thusit growethaboondantly. Thewa.
ter which they drinke, they drawe out of decpcpittcs. eComming fiom the Moun-
taines to the Vallies th^ydoe vfually fee (asitwere) two Hcaucns. onecleareand
bright, theother, obfcure, and (asitwere) a grey vaile fprend rnderncath , which
couersall the coafl : and although it raines not, yet this mif! is wonderfull profi-
table to bring foorth graffe, and to raifevpandnourifh ih fecde ; and where they
haue pltntie of water, which they draw from the Pooles and Lakes, yet ifthismoy-
flurefailcth, there followeth great defcd of grajne. And ( which is more worthie of
admirat.on ) tbedrie and barren fands in fome places, as in the far^die Mountaine neare
theCn. ieLoyRcges, areby this deaw beautified with graflc and flowers. Infomc
places they water their fields out of the riuers.
Beyond the Citie of Cufco the two ridges ofMoiintainesfcparatetheinfelues and
in the middeftleaue a plaine and large champaine , which they call theProvince of A/.
laoy where there are minv Rivers, and great lioreot fertile Paflure*. There t is al-
io the great Lake ef Titic^ca , whjch containeth foure fcore leagues in con^paffe and
robbethicnnc or twelue great riuers of their waters , which they were carrvingto

fliippes and barques .•, The Water is not altogether fowrc nor fait, as that of the

tlirfu' wcTf ihcirboolcfs of Hinoriei, of lawci, ccrcrtiwnici, and iccouius of there
affaires. There were officers appointed tokecpc them called Ou^icamajti , which
were bound to giue account of things asNotariei, and Regifters, They had accor-
dinp to the diuerfitic of bufmeffc.fundry cords and branches inewny of which were
fomany knotts little and great, and firings tycd to them, fotrcred, fome greene
and in fiJchvarictic, that eucn as wcdcriue an infinite number ofwords fr«m thclet!
teri of the Alphabet, fo daetheyfrotntbefckindes andcoiours. And at this day they
■will keepc account exaftlyof them. I did fee (faith t/1ctfla) a handfull of thefe
flringt.wbcrein an Indian woman did carry (as it were ) written a general] confcfsi*
on of all bet life, and thereby confcffed herfcifc, as well at I could haue done in
written paper, with Hrings for the circumlbficesofthefinnfi. They haueaifocer-
taine whedes of fmalJ flones, by meanes whereof they learnc all they defire.by heart
Thus y .11 fli3|i fee them learnc the •P4/fr«#/?<rr,Gr«</j,and the rcH rand for this pur*
pofe they haue many of thefe vvheeles in their Cliurchyardes. They hauc another
kinde sf C^iippoi, withgrainrs of Mnyj, with which thry will cafl vp hard ac-
counts vvb;ch might trouble a good Arithmetician with l^spenio th?diuifioni. They
\ld.mic.\S. were no Uflc vvittic,<?irnBtmorc, in things whereto they apply thcitifelue's then
the men of rhcfcparcs. Thry tanghtthcir young Children all Artes neceflarie to
the life of men, cucry one learning what was needefull for his perfon and fatui-
Jy, and riot appropriating himfelfe to one profcfsion, as wirhvs, oiieis a Tailer an
other a Weaucr,orof other trade. Euery man was bis ownc Wcaucr, Carpen'tcr,
Husbandm.in,»nd the like. But in other Artes, more for ornament then necelsitie'
thcv had Gold-Smithes, Painters, Potters, and Weaucrs of curious Tvorkes for
Noble mfn, and fo of the re(^. No man might change the fafhioii vfed in his
«wne countrcy, when he went into anethcr, that all might be knownc of what coua-
trcy they were.
For their marri 'gcs, they had many wiues but one was principal!, which was wed-
ded with folemnitie, and that in this fort. The Bridcgroome went to the Brides houfe
aad put 0u»y4, which was an opcnfliooc,on hcrfootc : this , if (he were a Maide
was of Wooil.otherwifc.ofReedes: and this done, hee led ber thence with him. If
dice committed Adultrric, (he was putiifhcd with death; when the husband dicd.'flie
carried a mourning weedc of black ayearc aftcr,& might not marry in that time which
befell not the other Wiues. lUclngua himfelfc with his ownc hand gaiiethis wo-

with thcaforefaid cercmonic in putting ontheOttoy^ : the other wiues did ferue
md honour this. None might marry with his Mother , Daughter, Grandmoiher or
Crand-childe: and rw/4»g»/,theFatherof<7«47«frfff4^4 was the firfllngua that marri-
ed hisSifler, and canfirmed his fa&hy a decree, that the Inguas might doe it, com-
manding his ownc children to doc it, permitting the Nnble men alfo to marrie tbcir
Sifters by the Fathers fide. Other incefi.aad murther, Theft,and Adultcrie werepu-
niflied with death. Such as had done good feruice in warre were rewarded with
lands, armes, titles of hsnour, and marriage in the Inguas linage.
They had Chdfynis or Polls in Peru, which were to carry tidings m Letters} for
which purpofc they had houfesaleaguc andahalfe afunder, and running cacblnan

Spaniards wcrcflcddc. In their houfcs they found about thirtic children Captiucs,
vvhich were referued to be eaten, but they tooke them for their Interpreters. Here
they had Parrots bigger then phcfanis, with backcs, breafts, and bellies of Pur-
ple colour. They vftdto vtevoaHifpanio/a, and S. I»hm Ifland, or Bwr/^wf « : and
if thefc, in their warrcs with the Caniballs, tookc any of them, they were furc to goe
to pot (cuen in the fir{t fcnfc) and to be eaten.
A little before Mafter //<«w/iy« was there, in the yearc 15(54, q a SpanifhCara-
vell commingtowaterat Dominica, one of the Caniball Iflands, the Sauages cut
h^ Cable in tlic night, and foflicc draucon ftiorc, and all her companie was fiir-
prifcd and eaten by them. InTortuga they tolled ccrtaine Spaniards ifliore,vn(lcr
pretence of Traffique,and then eatc them. Boriqucn ' is three hundred myles long,
and thrcefcorc and ten broad, traucrfed with a rough Mountaine,which ycclils many
Riucrs. The Spaniards haue there fomc Towncs. Thefc Iflands arc not fo well
peopled as in former times: and many of them are rctyring places of Rebels and
Fugitiucs, which take this flicker ogainft the Spanifli cruelties. HilftnioU is the
next Ifland of name, but fhall haue a place by it felfc, as a Mappc and Sumniaric of
all the other.
lamaicA is ahnoft as large as Boriaaen. It is extrcamcly fubiedt to the VracMi,
■which arc fuch terrible gurts of Wmdc, that nothing can rcfift them. They turne
vp Trees, ouer-turne Houfcs, tranfport the ShippesfiomSeatothe Land, and bring
with them a moft dreadful! and horrible confiifion. They raignc, or tyrannize ra-
f jW/0-.DM.i.U thcr, in Aueuft, September, and O j;1obcr ' . The inhabitants are of quicker wits then
the other lUands.
C«^4 is more Northerly, and cxtendeth it fclfc three hundred Leagues in length,
and twentie in breadth, fuUofMountaines, Woods, Fenucs, Riucrs, Lakes, both
fait and frcfti. This ' Ifland hath had many names giucn by the Spaniards 5 Fir~
nAndwA,Iott»nM,AlfhA and Omega. The Woods arc rcplcniHicd with Swine a.id
Kine ; the Riucrs yecld golden Sands. It hath fix Spanifh Colonies . Saint Is^o, a
Bifliops See, is the chiefe Towne in the Ifland; and Havana is the chicfc Port of all
the Indies. C)«««?» reckons two things mott admirable therein; one a Vallcy,trcii-.
dingbetwccnc two Hills three Leagues, which produceth abundance of Stones,c-
nough to lade many Shippes, of a pcrfeft round forme, like Bullets : The other a
Fountaine, whence B/fwm«,or a certain* Pitchic fubftancc,floweth and floteth cucn
to the Sea , excellent for pitching of Shippes. In this Ifland the common people
were prohibited the eating of Serpents, as being referued forRoyall dainties, and
the Prerogatiue of the Kings Table.
Columbiu " fayling by this Ifland , lighted into a Naulgable Riucr, the water
whereof was fo bote, that none might endure his hand long therein. He cfpicd alfo
a C'*^oa ofFifiiermcn, which after a rtrance fafliion vfcd to hunt Fifl-i,and take them
^ .. by the helpc of another Fifli, which they kept tycd m a cord by the Boates fide ; and
when they cfpicd a Fi(h,loofed the cord; this hunting Fifh prefently layes hold on
the prey, and with a skinne like a purfc growing behind her head, grafpcth it fo faft,
that by no meanes it can be taken from her, till they draw her vp abouc the watcr,and
then not able to abide the ayre,flic refigneth her prey to the Filhcrs, which leape out
into the watcr,and take it ; in recompcnce whereof they giue her part of her purchafe.
He found alfo in this Coaft Waters, for the fpncc of fortie myles, white and thickc like
piUkc, and as though Meale had bcene ftrewcd through that Sea : other Waters hec
% itttrt. found' " fpotted with white and blackc, and others all blacke. An oldc man of
fourcfcore yearcs being a Gouernourinthis Ifland, came to CelMmiut , and with
great grauitic falutcd him, and counfclled him to vfc his viftories well, remem-
bring, that the Soules of Men haue two lourneycs , after they are departed
from their bodies : The one foule and darke, prepared for injurious and crucll
pcrfons ; the other pleafant and delea»blc , for the peaceable , and louers of
fluiei.

'BartJe Im Q^fu telleth of a Kingdome in Hifpaniola.callcd MAgu.t, which fig-
nificth a Plaine, compaflcd about with Hills, which watered the fame with thiriie
thoufand Riuers and Brookes ; twelue of tiicm were very great : and all which come
from the Weft (twentie thouund in number) arc enriched with Gold.
Cotobi is a Plaine on the loppct of Hills, fo high, ihatit it fubie»Jt to the fourc
feafons of the yearc . There is alfo another Region of the fame name, moft barren

When they pcrcciucd that he was gone, a great multitude gathered together to fcekc
him.with dcucut prayers : and when they had found him, brought him home rcligi-
oufly on their fliouldcrs, to the Chappcll dedicated vnto him. But after the Spaniards
comraing into the Ifland, he fleddc for altcgether.and could ncuer be found,whcrc-
by they diuined the deftruition of their Countrey. _
They honoured another-Z*w*/,inthc likencfleof a\voman,onwhomc waited
two other,likc men . One of thcfc rxccuted the office of a meflcnger to the Zemes,
that had authoritic of Qouds.VVindes, and Rainc, and are at commaund of this wo-
man: the other performed the like to the Zfmti of the Waters, that tall from the
Hills, that being loofed, they might breake jntoFlouds,andoucrflow the Countrey,
if the people doe not giuc due horsur to her Image.
Letvs addc to this relation of the Z/«m« of Hifpaniola an accident in ^ Cuba.
A Mariner being ficke.was there left on ftiore, who rccouering; grew into fauouc
with the King, and was employed in his warrcs witli great fucceffc againft the enc-
mic: Hcattiibut^phisviiSloriestothcVirginc Marie, whofc pifture he had in his
bofome. The King by his perluifion reicftcdhisZ^iw*/, and dedicated a Chappell
and Altar to this Pifture , whither he and all his familic refortcd a little before the
Sunne-ict, bowing their heads, and [Ay\n^,9y4He MariA,t/4ue Maria , further they
could not fay . They befet the fame with Icwcls, and many earthen pots, fome with
fundry mcates, fome with water, round about the Tahcrnacle,which they offered in
ftcad of facnficCj as before rtiey had done to their Zemts . Being dcmaundcd , why
they did thus, they anfvvered, leaft it fhould lackc meat, for they belecue,that Images
may hunger, and doc eatc and drinke.
They told of this picture. That bemg carried with them into the Warres (as they
vfe to bring their Ziww with them into the battaile) this made the Ztmes of the c-
nemie turnc his backc, yea, a woman (a lye,oraDcuill) dcfcended in the fight of
them all to play the "BeUona for her followers; and in a contention betwixt them,
whether the ZfWworthisLadieweremore excellent, two young men of each fide
Vint bound, and whether Deitle fliould loofen her partie, that fliould be their God.
Both inuoke, the Deuill appeared in vgly iliape, and by and by a faire Virgin, wline-.
at the Deuill vaniflied (doc you bcleeueit?; and the Virgine with touch of a rod
loofed her roans bands, wljichwcrc found on the other aduerfe partie, being now
double-bound. Thus can the Deuill transforme himfclfe into an Angell of Light
at LoTCtto, ill Hifpaniola, and where clfe foeuer he can be entertained ; the name
of Saints, and promifc of Heauen, fhall further his hellifh defignes.

Whenthdr Kings died.they buried the beftbclouedofthcir concubines with them,
\%'ho alfo had other women buried for tlieir attendants, together vv ith their iewcis and

their C<r/i««-bread.
Hauing thus wearied you with this long ftay in Hilpaniola (by which yc may guefle

by the way (for we could but touch and away) we may aduenture, notwithlhnding
the wonted danger, vpon Bermuda, Danger hath made it now not fo dangerous*:
noeuments haue becne dofumems. For while fomc hauc bin wracked there, they haue
made vertuc otNcccflity,and fo well obferued the coaft,that skill hath almoft fecured
that which Nature had fccmed to fct there in defiance, both of Habitation and Naui-
gationjtoboth whichitisnowfubieded by our Nation. It was called Bermuda of
that fhip which firftdilcoucred it: ™ it is alfo called the Hand of Diuels, which they
fuppofe inhabit there; and the Inchanted Hand : but thcfe are inchanted conceits. Sir
George Sommers hath dcfcnied that it ftiouldbcare his name, by his cndeuours there-
abouts tefiifisd in life and death. He with Sir 7"A<»w4*(74^«, as before is faid, were
wracked on the Hand, which loflc turned to feme gaine, as if G o d would ginc them

hoggcs (which itfecmethhaueefcapedoutof fome wracks) diucrs fruits, Mulbcrics,
Silkc-wormes, Palmitos, Cedars, Pcarlcs, Amber-grifc : But the moft ftrangc thing
fcei-nes the variety of fowle, of which they tooke a thoufandof one fortintw6or
three hourcs, being as biggc as a Pigeon, and laying fpccklcd cggcs, as bigge as Hens
«ggcs, on the fand, where they come and lay them daily, although men fit downe a-

George Sommers men haue ftaid a while by them, and brought away as many more.
Another fowle there is, that liueth in holes like Cony-holes ; their cgges like in cjuan-
titie and qualitic to Hcn-eggc$. Other birds were fo gentle, that whittling to them,
they would come and gaze on you, while with your ftickc you might kill them. O-

And thus they did in all other parts wherefocuer they came. In the lies of Saint
Ioh*»,ttid UmdycAy were fix hundred thoufand Inhabitants, whercofihcn when the
Author wrote this, there were fcarfcly Icfttwo hundred in cither Hand. Cuba cxtcn-'
dcthfurtheft in length of any of thcfc Hands. Hccrc was a Cacique named ILithuey,
which called his fuBicfls about him, and fliewing them a boxc ot Gold,faid,that was
the Spaniards God, and made them dance about it very folcmnely; and left the Spa-
niards fhould hauc it, he hurled it into the Riuer. Being taken and condemned to the
fire; whep he was bound to the ftake, a Frier came and preached heaucn to him, and
the terrors of hell : HAthHiy asked if any Spaniards were in heauen, the Frier anfwe-
rcd,yca,fuchas were good; H<»/^«fy' replied, he would rather goc to hell, then goc
■where any of that crucll Nation w ere.
I was once prefent,faitli^.t/<«, when the Inhabitants of onetowne brought vs
forth vi(5luall, and met vs with great kindneffe, and the Spaniards without any caufc
flew three thoufand of them, of euery age and fexc. I, by their counfcll, fent to other
Xownes to meet vs, with promifc of good dealing, and two and twentie Caciques
mctvs,wliVhthe Captaineagainftalltiiithcaufed to be burned. This made thede-
Iperate Indians hang thcmfelues (which two hundred did, by the occafion of one
mauscrueltie): and one other Spaniard feeing them take thiscourfc, hoc made as
though he would hang himfelfetoo, and perfccute them in the regions of Death,
whicn fearc detained fome from that fclfe-execution. Sixc thoufand children died,
faith our former Author, in three or fourcmonthes fpacc, while I was there, for the
waniof their parents which were fent to the mines: they hunted out the reft in the
moutitaincs, and defolated the Hand. Neither did the other Hands fpccd better. The
Z.«c.</<c they brought to an vtterdcfolation: and rtiipptngtnultitudes ot menfor the
mines in Hifpaniola, wanting food for them ; the third part commonly pcri{fed in the
vwiy; fo that an vnskilfuU Pilot might haue learned this way by Sea, by thofc floting
rnarkes of Indian carkaflc5. This Spanifli Peftilence fpread further to the Continent,
where they fpoiled the fliores, an J the Inland Countries of people. From Dariena to
Nicaragua, they flew foure hundred thoufand people with dogges, fwords, fire, and
diuers tortures. Their courfc ^ of preaching was,tofend,vnderpaine of confifcati-
on of lands, libertie, wife, life, and all,to acknowledge God and the Spanifli King,
of whom they had neuer heard. Yea, they would fteale to fome place halfc a mile oft'
the Cuie by night, and there publidithc Kings decree in this fort, being alone by
thcmfelues. Ye Caciques and Indians of this or that place (which they named) Be it
knowne to you, that there is one Go d, one Pope, and one King ofCaftile, who is
Lord of thefc Lands, Cornc. quickly and doe your homage. And then in the night,
whiles they were afleepe,fiBed their houfes, and flevv and tookc captiucs at their plea-
furc, and then fell to fearchforGold. ThcfirftBilliopthatcamcintothefcparts,fcnc
his men to be partakers of the fpoilc. A Cacique gauc the Spanifii Gouernour the
weight in Gold of nine thoufand crownes;he (in thankefulnefle) to extort more,
bound him to a poft, and put fire to his feet, and forced him to fend home for a further
. , addition of three thoufand. They notfjtisfied,perfiftcd in their tormenting him, till
the marrow came forth at the folcs of his feet, whereof he died. When any of the
Indians, employed by the Spaniards, failed vndcr their heauic burthens, or fainted for
want of nccefianes, left they fhouldlofe time in opening the chainc wherein he was
'iP.Mm.Vec, tied, they would cut off his head, and foletthcbodie fall out. The Spaniard robbed
^.lib. thcNicaraguansof their cornc, fo that thirtic thoufand died of famine, ai.d amother
