manner_n in_o my_o whole_a pilgrimage_n till_o i_o come_v into_o england_n which_o i_o hold_v to_o be_v as_o laudable_a &_o a_o more_o secure_a course_n then_o if_o i_o do_v continual_o carry_v store_n of_o money_n about_o i_o in_o the_o letter_n which_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o by_o a_o english_a ship_n the_o last_o year_n i_o make_v relation_n unto_o you_o both_o of_o my_o journey_n from_o the_o once_o holy_a jerusalem_n hither_o and_o of_o the_o state_n of_o this_o king_n court_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o this_o country_n therefore_o i_o hold_v it_o superfluous_a to_o repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n again_o but_o what_o the_o country_n be_v that_o i_o mean_v to_o see_v betwixt_o this_o and_o christendom_n and_o how_o long_a time_n i_o will_v spend_v in_o each_o country_n i_o be_o

word_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o of_o certain_a city_n of_o great_a renown_n in_o former_a time_n but_o now_o partly_o ruin_v that_o i_o resolve_v by_o god_n help_n to_o see_v in_o asia_n where_o i_o now_o be_o namely_o ancient_a babylon_n &_o nymrod_n tower_n some_o few_o mile_n from_o ninive_n &_o in_o the_o same_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o the_o prophet_n jonas_n spacious_a &_o goodly_a cairo_n in_o egypt_n heretofore_o memphis_n upon_o the_o famous_a river_n nilus_n where_o moses_n aron_n &_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n live_v with_o king_n pharaoh_n who_o ruin_a palace_n be_v show_v

these_o or_o any_o other_o city_n of_o note_n do_v i_o determine_v to_o linger_v as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o other_o place_n as_o in_o constantinople_n and_o azmere_n in_o this_o eastern_a india_n only_o some_o few_o day_n will_v i_o tarry_v in_o a_o principal_a city_n of_o fame_n to_o observe_v every_o principal_a matter_n there_o and_o so_o be_v go_v in_o this_o city_n of_o agra_n where_o i_o be_o now_o i_o be_o to_o remain_v about_o six_o week_n long_o to_o the_o end_n to_o expect_v a_o excellent_a opportunity_n which_o then_o will_v offer_v itself_o unto_o i_o to_o go_v to_o the_o famous_a river_n ganges_n about_o five_o day_n journey_n from_o this_o to_o see_v a_o memorable_a meeting_n of_o the_o gentle_a people_n of_o this_o country_n call_v baiean_n whereof_o about_o four_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n go_v thither_o of_o purpose_n to_o bathe_v and_o shave_v themselves_o in_o the_o river_n and_o to_o sacrifice_v a_o world_n of_o gold_n to_o the_o same_o river_n partly_o in_o stamp_a money_n &_o partly_o in_o massy_a great_a lump_n and_o wedge_n throw_v it_o into_o the_o river_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o do_v other_o strange_a ceremony_n most_o worthy_a the_o

anatolia_n the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v see_v this_o show_n do_v they_o make_v once_o every_o year_n come_v thither_o from_o place_n almost_o a_o thousand_o mile_n off_o and_o honour_v their_o river_n as_o their_o god_n creator_n and_o saviour_n superstition_n and_o impiety_n most_o abominable_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o these_o brutish_a ethnic_n that_o be_v alien_n from_o christ_n &_o the_o
