have_v great_a store_n of_o silk_n worm_n which_o yield_v they_o abundance_n of_o silk_n also_o this_o island_n yield_v great_a store_n of_o fruit_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o store_n of_o cattle_n of_o

shall_v you_o not_o see_v one_o jew_n beg_v his_o bread_n one_o thing_n i_o have_v great_o marvel_v at_o that_o a_o jew_n be_v respect_v more_o in_o christendom_n then_o with_o the_o turk_n for_o the_o turk_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v detest_v he_o above_o any_o nation_n tie_v he_o to_o a_o notable_a and_o know_a mark_n or_o manner_n of_o apparel_n and_o yield_v he_o no_o law_n or_o right_n either_o against_o turk_n or_o christian_n whereas_o contrariwise_o in_o christendom_n he_o be_v tie_v to_o no_o manner_n of_o wear_n but_o may_v go_v in_o what_o shape_n he_o list_v and_o for_o law_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o wealth_n he_o shall_v soon_o have_v right_o do_v to_o he_o then_o a_o christian_a wherefore_o in_o my_o mind_n the_o turk_n great_o in_o this_o condemn_v the_o popish_a christian_a for_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a say_n with_o they_o tha●_n if_o a_o jew_n have_v put_v mahomet_n to_o death_n nay_o but_o touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n violent_o they_o will_v
