water_n how_o man_n may_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o there_o be_v many_o other_o way_n that_o man_n go_v by_o after_o the_o country_n that_o they_o come_v from_o nevertheless_o they_o turn_v all_o to_o one_o end_n yet_o be_v there_o a_o way_n all_o by_o land_n to_o jerusalem_n and_o pass_v no_o sea_n but_o to_o france_n or_o flanders_n but_o that_o way_n be_v full_a long_a and_o perilous_a and_o of_o great_a travail_n and_o therefore_o few_o go_v that_o way_n but_o he_o that_o will_v go_v that_o way_n must_v go_v by_o almain_n and_o pruse_n and_o so_o to_o tartary_n this_o tartary_n be_v hold_v of_o the_o great_a caane_n of_o who_o i_o shall_v speak_v afterward_o for_o thither_o last_v his_o lordship_n and_o all_o the_o lord_n of_o tartary_n yield_v to_o he_o tribute_n tartary_n be_v a_o full_a evil_a land_n sandy_a and_o a_o little_a fruit_n bear_v for_o there_o grow_v but_o little_a corn_n or_o fruit_n but_o beast_n be_v there_o great_a plenty_n and_o therefore_o eat_v they_o flesh_n without_o bread_n and_o they_o sup_v the_o broth_n and_o they_o drink_v milcke_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o beast_n they_o eat_v cat_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o wild_a beast_n as_o rat_n &_o mouse_n and_o they_o have_v little_a wood_n and_o therefore_o they_o dress_v their_o meat_n with_o horse_n dung_n and_o other_o beast_n dung_n when_o it_o be_v dry_a prince_n and_o other_o lord_n eat_v but_o once_o in_o the_o day_n and_o that_o be_v very_o little_a and_o they_o be_v foul_a folk_n and_o of_o evil_a like_n and_o in_o summer_n there_o be_v many_o tempest_n and_o thunder_n that_o slay_v many_o man_n and_o beast_n sudden_o it_o be_v right_a cold_a and_o again_o on_o the_o sudden_a it_o be_v right_a hot_a the_o prince_n that_o govern_v that_o land_n they_o call_v roco_n and_o he_o dwell_v at_o a_o city_n that_o man_n call_v orda_n but_o very_o few_o man_n do_v desire_v to_o dwell_v in_o that_o land_n for_o it_o be_v good_a to_o sow_v thorn_n and_o weed_n in_o but_o other_o good_a there_o be_v none_o as_o i_o hear_v say_v for_o i_o be_v not_o that_o way_n but_o i_o have_v be_v in_o other_o country_n march_v thereon_o as_o in_o the_o land_n of_o rossie_n and_o nisland_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grecon_n and_o lectow_v and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grasten_a and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n but_o i_o go_v never_o that_o way_n to_o jerusalem_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v well_o tell_v it_o for_o i_o have_v understand_v that_o man_n may_v not_o well_o go_v that_o way_n but_o in_o winter_n when_o the_o water_n and_o mire_n that_o be_v in_o that_o land_n be_v freeze_a and_o cover_v with_o snow_n so_o that_o man_n may_v pass_v thereon_o for_o be_v not_o the_o snow_n there_o may_v no_o man_n go_v in_o that_o land_n but_o he_o be_v lose_v and_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o a_o man_n must_v go_v three_o day_n journey_n from_o pruse_n to_o pass_v this_o way_n before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o land_n of_o saracen_n that_o man_n dwell_v in_o and_o if_o by_o chance_n any_o christian_n pass_v that_o way_n as_o once_o a_o year_n they_o do_v they_o carry_v their_o victual_n with_o they_o for_o they_o shall_v find_v nothing_o there_o but_o a_o manner_n of_o thing_n that_o they_o call_v syle_n and_o they_o carry_v their_o victual_n upon_o the_o ice_n on_o sled_n and_o chariot_n without_o wheel_n and_o as_o long_o as_o their_o victual_n last_o they_o may_v dwell_v there_o but_o no_o long_a and_o when_o the_o spy_n of_o the_o country_n see_v christian_n come_v they_o run_v to_o the_o town_n and_o castle_n and_o cry_v aloud_o kara_o kara_fw-mi kara_fw-mi and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v cry_v then_o do_v the_o people_n arm_v they_o and_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o the_o ice_n there_o be_v hard_a than_o it_o be_v here_o and_o every_o man_n have_v a_o stew_n in_o his_o house_n and_o therein_o they_o eat_v and_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o they_o need_v and_o that_o be_v at_o the_o north_n part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o it_o be_v common_o cold_a for_o the_o sun_n appear_v nor_o shine_v but_o a_o little_a in_o that_o country_n and_o that_o land_n be_v in_o some_o place_n so_o cold_a that_o there_o may_v no_o man_n dwell_v therein_o and_o on_o the_o south_n side_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v in_o some_o place_n so_o hot_a that_o there_o can_v no_o man_n dwell_v the_o sun_n give_v so_o great_a heat_n in_o those_o country_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o saracen_n and_o of_o the_o book_n of_o their_o law_n name_v alcoran_n chap._n xliiij_o in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o of_o the_o saracen_n &_o of_o other_o land_n i_o purpose_v to_o set_v down_o a_o part_n of_o their_o law_n and_o of_o their_o belief_n after_o as_o their_o book_n say_v that_o they_o call_v alcoran_n and_o some_o call_v that_o book_n mysap_n some_o call_v it_o harm_v in_o diverse_a language_n of_o country_n which_o book_n mahomet_n give_v they_o in_o the_o which_o book_n he_o write_v among_o other_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v often_o read_v and_o see_v that_o they_o that_o be_v good_a shall_v go_v to_o paradise_n and_o the_o evil_a folk_n to_o hell_n and_o that_o believe_v all_o saracen_n and_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v of_o what_o paradise_n they_o mean_v they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o place_n of_o delight_n where_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v all_o manner_n of_o fruit_n at_o all_o time_n and_o water_n and_o river_n run_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n wine_n and_o fresh_a water_n and_o they_o shall_v have_v fair_a house_n and_o good_a as_o they_o have_v deserve_v and_o those_o house_n be_v make_v of_o precious_a stone_n gold_z and_o silver_n and_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v ten_o wife_n and_o maiden_n and_o he_o shall_v every_o day_n once_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o yet_o shall_v they_o still_o be_v maiden_n also_o they_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n and_o tell_v of_o the_o incarnation_n that_o mary_n be_v learn_v of_o angel_n and_o that_o gabryel_n say_v to_o she_o that_o she_o be_v choose_v before_o all_o other_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o witness_v well_o their_o book_n and_o gabriel_n tell_v she_o the_o incarnation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o she_o shall_v conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o child_n and_o they_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o holy_a prophet_n in_o word_n and_o deed_n and_o also_o meek_a and_o right_a wise_a to_o all_o man_n and_o one_o not_o any_o blame_n worthy_a and_o they_o say_v that_o when_o the_o angel_n tell_v to_o she_o of_o the_o incarnation_n she_o have_v great_a dread_n for_o she_o be_v very_o young_a and_o there_o be_v one_o in_o that_o country_n that_o practise_a sorcery_n who_o be_v call_v takina_n that_o with_o inchauntment_n can_v make_v he_o like_o a_o angel_n and_o he_o go_v often_o and_o lay_v with_o maiden_n and_o therefore_o be_v mary_n the_o more_o afraid_a of_o the_o angel_n and_o think_v in_o her_o mind_n that_o it_o have_v be_v takina_n who_o go_v to_o maiden_n and_o she_o charge_v he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o tell_v she_o if_o he_o be_v the_o same_o takina_n and_o the_o angel_n bid_v she_o have_v no_o dread_n for_o he_o be_v for_o certain_a a_o true_a messenger_n of_o jesus_n christ_n also_o their_o book_n of_o alcoran_n say_v that_o she_o have_v a_o child_n under_o a_o palm_n tree_n than_o be_v she_o
