to_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o city_n as_o they_o make_v a_o lane_n to_o he_o go_v and_o come_v i_o can_v say_v nothing_o of_o their_o mosque_n for_o a_o christian_a much_o less_o a_o slave_n be_v not_o

acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o whole_a ceremony_n at_o which_o i_o have_v be_v force_v to_o officiate_v a_o thousand_o time_n in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o must_v know_v that_o all_o the_o turk_n without_o exception_n rise_v every_o morning_n by_o break_v of_o day_n at_o all_o season_n of_o the_o year_n that_o they_o make_v themselves_o ready_a for_o prayer_n by_o wash_v with_o clean_a water_n their_o hand_n and_o arm_n up_o to_o the_o elbow_n their_o face_n and_o the_o inside_n of_o their_o nostril_n their_o mouth_n behind_o their_o ear_n the_o top_n of_o their_o forehead_n and_o the_o back_n part_n of_o their_o neck_n this_o they_o do_v by_o a_o set_a number_n of_o rubbing_n and_o with_o a_o great_a many_o mysterious_a form_n finish_v the_o whole_a by_o clap_v their_o wet_a hand_n under_o their_o foot_n and_o leave_v a_o impression_n of_o their_o five_o finger_n under_o their_o pump_n and_o sprinkle_v their_o privy-part_n with_o water_n all_o this_o they_o look_v upon_o as_o essential_o necessary_a and_o then_o spread_v a_o carpet_n or_o garment_n at_o the_o end_n of_o which_o they_o say_v their_o prayer_n turn_v their_o face_n towards_o mecca_n where_o their_o prophet_n be_v inter_v they_o begin_v their_o devotion_n stand_v upright_o with_o several_a motion_n of_o their_o hand_n which_o they_o clap_v to_o their_o ear_n with_o their_o thumb_n afterward_o lay_v they_o across_o their_o breast_n then_o let_v they_o hang_v down_o and_o every_o now_o and_o then_o fall_v down_o on_o their_o knee_n and_o rise_v up_o again_o after_o they_o have_v kiss_v the_o ground_n they_o end_v all_o by_o salute_v the_o two_o angel_n which_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v present_a and_o sit_v one_o upon_o each_o shoulder_n this_o devotion_n they_o pay_v very_o regular_o five_o time_n a_o day_n at_o daybreak_n between_o ten_o and_o eleven_o a_o clock_n at_o four_o in_o the_o afternoon_n at_o sunset_n and_o when_o it_o be_v quite_o dark_a they_o always_o begin_v with_o the_o forementioned_a wash_n and_o on_o their_o more_o solemn_a festival_n they_o wash_v their_o leg_n up_o to_o their_o knee_n especial_o on_o the_o day_n of_o the_o great_a bairam_n of_o which_o more_o hereafter_o the_o arabic_a which_o be_v mahomet_n native_a language_n be_v that_o which_o be_v most_o use_v among_o they_o as_o the_o latin_a be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n all_o their_o book_n

whereas_o the_o turkish_a be_v soft_a easy_a fluent_a intelligible_a and_o come_v pretty_a near_o the_o latin_a without_o article_n and_o those_o confuse_a phrase_n and_o ceremonial_a circumlocutious_a thee_v and_o thove_v every_o body_n even_o god_n and_o the_o sultan_n himself_o with_o manly_a expression_n in_o their_o common_a discourse_n and_o move_v once_o in_o their_o song_n and_o love_n they_o be_v as_o uniform_a in_o their_o manner_n as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o word_n they_o make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o wall_n salute_v no_o body_n as_o they_o go_v along_o the_o street_n and_o scarce_o take_v notice_n of_o any_o body_n and_o if_o two_o person_n happen_v to_o meet_v he_o that_o come_v up_o first_o be_v to_o pass_v the_o compliment_n and_o the_o other_o to_o return_v it_o but_o if_o the_o first_o say_v nothing_o the_o other_o be_v as_o silent_a as_o he._n they_o converse_v with_o one_o another_o with_o a_o free_a open_a air_n and_o a_o smile_a aspect_n and_o the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n pass_v a_o civility_n upon_o his_o guest_n by_o give_v they_o the_o upper_a hand_n of_o his_o couch_n offer_v they_o coffee_n and_o tobacco_n after_o which_o they_o depart_v without_o salute_v any_o person_n or_o say_v a_o word_n only_o sigh_v devout_o alla_n which_o be_v all_o the_o ceremony_n the_o turk_n know_v nothing_o of_o the_o custom_n of_o clap_v the_o hand_n to_o the_o hat_n or_o mouth_n when_o we_o expect_v to_o receive_v any_o favour_n they_o be_v for_o have_v it_o receive_v just_a as_o they_o give_v it_o without_o any_o ceremony_n or_o submission_n the_o case_n indeed_o be_v otherwise_o as_o to_o those_o who_o be_v in_o any_o office_n for_o instance_n they_o pay_v their_o compliment_n to_o the_o bassa_n or_o person_n of_o note_n with_o both_o their_o hand_n on_o their_o breast_n bow_v their_o head_n to_o the_o ground_n very_o respectful_o they_o who_o wait_v upon_o they_o before_z and_o after_o discourse_v with_o they_o kiss_v the_o bottom_n of_o their_o garment_n bring_v it_o up_o to_o their_o forehead_n and_o mouth_n as_o they_o do_v the_o letter_n which_o be_v direct_v to_o they_o from_o the_o bassa_n and_o

i_o ever_o observe_v among_o they_o by_o this_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o perceive_v that_o their_o manner_n of_o conversation_n be_v very_o plain_a for_o beside_o this_o jejune_n or_o rough_a way_n the_o

rest_n listen_v very_o attentive_o with_o pipe_n in_o their_o mouth_n or_o bead_n in_o their_o hand_n this_o be_v all_o the_o conversation_n they_o have_v unless_o it_o be_v a_o game_n at_o chess_n which_o they_o be_v great_a master_n at_o but_o then_o they_o play_v only_o for_o diversion_n without_o any_o stake_n so_o so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o turk_n seek_v for_o
