Saracens and Iewes doe there feed on The Saracens called the Christians also Isai as before and Terzai which is a name giuen in Persia to the Armenian Christians as an Armenian affirmed to Ricius whence hee coniectured that these Christians came out of Armenia And by the report of Haiton the Armenian which sayth their King came to the Great Can of Cathay which wee haue before obserued at least the best parts thereof to be the North parts of China to perswade him and his to become Christians which in great part also hee affected besides other Christians there reported to bee by Paulus and those of Sarnau subiect to the Great Can mentioned by Vertomannus which seeme to be neere these in China The Malabar Christians haue Chaldee memorials of China conuerted by Saint Thomas and their Metropolitan hath his style of all India and China A certaine Iew at Pequin hearing of the Iesuites there came to them to see and conferre with them imagining them to be Iewes This Iew was borne at Chaifamfu the Mother-citie of the Prouince Honan his name was Ngai his countenance not resembling the Chinois hee neglecting Iudaisme had addicted himselfe to the China studies and now came to Pequin to the examination in hope of proceeding Doctor There did hee enter the Iesuites House professing that he was of their Law and Religion Ricci leads him into the Chappell where on the Altar stood the Image of the Virgin Iesus and Iohn Baptist kneeling which he taking to be the Images of Rebecca and her Twins did worship vnto them contrary he said to their custome The Images of the Euangelists he supposed to be so many of Iacobs sonnes But vpon further questioning the Iesuite perceiued that he was a professor of the Law of Moses he confessed himselfe an Israelite and knew not the name of Iew so that it seemed the dispersion of the ten Tribes had pierced thus farre Seeing the Hebrew Bible hee knew the Letters but could not reade them He told them that in Chaifamfu were ten or twelue Families of Israelites and a faire Synagogue which had lately cost them ten thousand Crownes therein the Pentateuch in Rolls which had bin with great veneration preserued fiue or six hundred yeers In Hamcheu the chiefe Citie of Chequian hee affirmed were many more Families with their Synagogue many also in other places but without Synagogues and by degrees wearing out his pronunciation of Hebrew names differed from ours as Herusoloim Moscia for Messia Ierusalem His Brother hee said was skilfull in the Hebrew which he in affection to the China preferment had neglected and therefore was hardly censured by the Ruler of the Synagogue 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 THE 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 MAP 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 OF 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 CHI 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 NA 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 As for the Christian Religion thither carried by the Iesuites you haue heard the whole substance of their owne large Histories I meane not of Miracles and other like stuffe and stuffings but the meanes of conuaying the Gospel to the Chinois which are merchandise money gifts Mathematiks Memoratiue-art Morality which to China Couetousnes and Curiosity with their conforming to Confutius Ethikes and China Literature Habite Names and officious Rites were good Orators and made way with much adoe to that little which is done a mutuall exchange in many things of Romish for Chinois Beades Shauing Vests Songs Mumsimus Tapers Censers Images Legends Monkes Nunnes Processions Pilgrimages Monasteries Altars hee and shee Saints and other things innumerable pertayning rather to bodily exercise which profiteth little then to Godlinesse or God-likenesse who being a Spirit requireth men to worship him in spirit and truth and by foolishnesse of preaching saueth them that beleeue not by wisedome of words in elegant writings and those more of Arts then Christianity The great Doctor of the Gentiles tooke another course not with excellency of words sayth he or wisedome yea hee esteemed to know nothing among the learned Corinthians but Iesus Christ and him crucified neither stood his word in the entising speech of mans wisedome but in playne euidence of the Spirit not the wisedome of the World but the wisedome of God in a mysterie c. Which I speake not as denying the seruice of Arts to Diuinity but of Diuinity in manner to Arts where the profession is not as of a Tent-maker to liue that he may preach but as of an European Philosopher where Hagar domineereth and Sara at some times whispers a little and except in Images and Shewes scarcely shewes her selfe as more fully appeareth in the fore-going History But would God any Arts or any Preachers may occasion the opening of their eyes which were wont to bragge of two eyes and say Europeans had but one when as they haue but this one naturall eye and in spirituall things are blinde and would God the Chinois might as generally acknowledge themselues thankfull to Iesuiticall labours in professing the Gospell as I doe here my selfe for this Historicall light of China §. VII The Map of China taken out of a China Map printed with China Characters illustrated with Notes for the vnderstanding thereof THe originall Map whence this present was taken and contracted was by Captaine Saris whose industrie and acts haue both heere and elsewhere enriched this worke gotten at Bantam of a Chinese in taking a distresse for debts owing to the English Merchants who seeing him carefull to conuay away a Boxe was the more carefull to apprehend it and therein found this Map which another Chinese lodged at his house lately come from China had brought with him The greatnesse of the danger at home if knowne made him earnestly begge for that which was on the other side as earnestly desired and kept Master Hakluyt procured it of the Captaine professing his intent to giue it to Prince Henry of glorious memory who being suddenly aduanced to a higher view in Heauen and Master Hakluyt following this Map came to my hand who sought to expresse my loue to the publike in communicating what I could thereof For it being in China Characters which I thinke none in England if any in Europe vnderstands I could not wholly giue it when I giue it no man being able to receiue what he can no way conceiue And as in greatest things our little vnderstandings easier apprehend negations then affirmations and can better tell what they are not then what they are so this Map easily tells at first euen without Commentaries the comments and conceits of our Geog●●phers Ortelius Mercator Hondius and whatsoeuer other our Authors of Maps and Globes who all haue heerein fayled giuing nothing lesse then China in their China whether wee regard the generall figure and shape thereof or the particular Riuers Hills Prouinces Wall Latitude and if wee beleeue the Iesuites Longitude also They

their strength no man were able to make match with them for they that dwell neere them should haue any rest of them But I thinke it is not Gods will For I may compare them to a young Horse that knoweth not his strength whom a little Child ruleth and guideth with a bridle for all his great strength for if he did neither Child nor man could rule him Their Warres are holden against the Crimme Tartarians and the Nagayans I will stand no longer in the rehearsall of their power and Warres For it were to tedious to the Reader But I will in part declare their Lawes and Punishments and the execution of Iustice. And first I will begin with the Commons of the Countrey which the Gentlemen haue rule on And that is that euery Gentleman hath Rule and Iustice vpon his owne Tenants And if it so fall out that two Gentlemens Seruants or Tenants doe disagree the two Gentlemen examine the matter and haue the parties before them and so giue the Sentence And yet cannot they make the end betwixt them of the Controuersie but e●ther of the Gentlemen must bring his Seruant or Tenant before the high Iudge or Iustice of that Countrey and there present them and declare the matter and case The Plaintiffe saith I require the Law which is granted then commeth an Officer and arresteth the partie Defendant and vseth him contrary to the Lawes of England For when they attach any man they heate him about the legs vntill such time as he findeth Sureties to answere the matter And if not his hands and necke are bound together and hee is led about the Towne and beaten about the legs with other extreme punishments till he come to his Answere And the Iustice demandeth if it bee for Debt and sayth Owest thou this man any such Debt He will perhaps say nay Then saith the Iudge Art thou able to deny it Let vs heare how By Oath saith the Defendant Then he commandeth to leaue beating him till further tryall be had Their order in one point is commendable They haue no man of Law to plead their Causes in any Court but euery man pleadeth his owne Cause and giueth Bill and Answere in writing contrary to the order in England The Complaint is in manner of a Supplication and made to the Dukes Grace and deliuered him into his owne hand requiring to haue Iustice as in his Complaint is alleaged The Duke giueth sentence himselfe vpon all matters in the Law Which is very commendable that such a Prince will take paines to see ministration of Iustice. Yet notwithstanding it is wonderfully abused and thereby the Duke is much deceiued But if it fall out that the Officers be espied in cloking the truth they haue most condigne punishment And if the Plaintiffe can nothing proue then the Defendant must take his Oath vpon the Crucifixe whether he be in the right or no. Then is demanded if the Plaintiffe bee any thing able further to make proofe if he be not then sometimes he will say I am able to proue it by my body and hands or by my Champions body so requiring the Campe. After the other hath his Oath it is granted as well to the one as to the other So when they goe to the field they sweare vpon the Crucifixe that they bee both in the right and that the one shall make the other to confesse the truth before they depart foorth of the field and so they goe both to the battell armed with such weapons as they vse in that Countrey they fight all on foot and seldome the parties themselues doe fight except they bee Gentlemen for they stand much vpon their reputation for they will not fight but with such as are come of as good an house as themselues So that if either partie require the combate it is granted vnto them and no Champion is to serue in their roome wherein is no deceit but otherwise by champions there is For although they take great oathes vpon them to doe the battell truely yet is the contrary often seene because the common Champions haue no other liuing And assoone as the one partie hath gotten the victorie hee demandeth the debt and the other is carryed to Prison and there is shamefully vsed till hee take order There is also another order in the Law that the plaintiffe may sweare in some causes of debt And if the partie defendant bee poore hee shall be set vnder the Crucifixe and the partie plaintiffe must sweare ouer his head and when hee hath taken his oath the Duke taketh the partie defendant home to his house and vseth him as his bond-man and putteth him to labour or letteth him for hire to any such as neede him vntill such time as his friends make prouision for his redemption or else hee remayneth in bondage all the dayes of his life Againe there are many that will sell themselues to Gentlemen or Merchants to bee their bond men to haue during their life meate drinke and cloath and at their comming to haue a piece of money yea and some will sell their wiues and children to be bawds and drudges to the buyer Also they haue a Law for Fellons and pickers contrary to the Lawes of England For by their Law they can hang no man for his first offence but may keepe him long in Prison and oftentimes beate him with whips and other punishment and there hee shall remaine vntill his friends bee able to bayle him If hee be a picker or a cut-purse as there bee very many the second time he is taken hee hath a piece of his Nose cut off and is burned in the fore-head and kept in prison till he finde sureties for his good behauiour And if hee be taken the third time he is hanged And at the first time hee is extreamely punished and not released except he haue very good friends or that some Gentleman require to haue him to the warres And in so doing hee shall enter into great bonds for him by which meanes the Countrey is brought into good quietnesse But they bee naturally giuen to great deceit except extreame beating did bridle them They bee naturally giuen to hard liuing as well in fare as in lodging I heard a Russian say that it was a great deale merrier liuing in Prison then foorth but for the great beating For they haue meate and drinke without any labour and get the charitie of well disposed people But being at libertie they get nothing The poore is very innumerable and liue most miserably for I haue seene them eate the pickle of Herring and other stinking Fish nor the Fish cannot bee so stinking nor rotten but they will eate it and praise it to bee more wholesome then other fish or fresh meate In mine opinion there bee no such people vnder the Sunne for their hardnesse of liuing Well I will leaue them in this point and will in part declare their Religion
