they_o invite_v one_o another_o often_o to_o feast_n and_o banquet_n in_o which_o they_o serve_v many_o other_o sort_n of_o cate_n beside_o those_o i_o have_v mention_v yet_o therein_o they_o serve_v

if_o every_o of_o the_o guest_n have_v not_o his_o table_n serve_v with_o a_o hundred_o dish_n at_o least_o also_o because_o they_o use_v to_o invite_v all_o their_o friend_n kinsfolk_n and_o

i_o be_v once_o myself_o at_o one_o of_o these_o sollemne-feast_n in_o which_o the_o guest_n be_v no_o less_o than_o two_o thousand_o therefore_o such_o feast_n be_v make_v in_o the_o open_a field_n that_o there_o may_v be_v room_n enough_o to_o place_v so_o many_o table_n neither_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v find_v strange_a that_o these_o table_n be_v not_o great_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o hundred_o dish_n serve_v thereon_o at_o once_o because_o at_o such_o time_n by_o a_o marvelous_a pretty_a device_n they_o place_v a_o little_a castle_n on_o the_o table_n have_v sundry_a stage_n

of_o areca_n so_o that_o of_o one_o fruit_n they_o make_v four_o or_o five_o morsel_n they_o use_v also_o to_o put_v lime_n to_o their_o areca_n such_o as_o they_o make_v in_o that_o country_n of_o

also_o there_o in_o great_a plenty_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o abundance_n of_o four_o footed_a beast_n which_o they_o nourish_v there_o in_o their_o house_n as_o cow_n goat_n swine_n buffle_n and_o such_o other_o of_o wild_a beast_n as_o heart_n they_o have_v many_o great_a than_o those_o of_o europe_n wild_a boar_n and_o diverse_a other_o they_o have_v great_a store_n of_o fowl_n tame_a hen_n

here_o in_o europe_n there_o be_v also_o great_a store_n of_o fish_n and_o that_o of_o so_o exquisite_a relish_n and_o taste_v that_o have_v cross_v so_o many_o sea_n and_o travel_v through_o so_o many_o country_n as_o i_o have_v do_v methinks_v i_o have_v not_o find_v the_o fish_n of_o any_o other_o place_n comparable_a to_o that_o of_o cochin-china_n and_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o whole_a length_n of_o the_o country_n lie_v on_o the_o sea_n as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v such_o a_o multitude_n of_o fisher-boat_n and_o fish-taker_n and_o fish-carrier_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n that_o it_o be_v a_o pretty_a spectacle_n to_o behold_v so_o many_o rank_n of_o man_n carry_v fish_n from_o the_o sea_n side_n even_o up_o to_o the_o mountain_n in_o which_o exercise_n they_o employ_v twenty_o of_o the_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n and_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o like_v better_o of_o fish_n then_o of_o flesh_n yet_o the_o chief_a cause_n why_o they_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o fish_v be_v the_o desire_n they_o have_v to_o provide_v themselves_o a_o sauce_n which_o they_o call_v balaciam_fw-la that_o be_v make_v of_o a_o salt_v fish_n mollify_v and_o dissolve_v in_o water_n whereof_o they_o make_v a_o bite_a liquor_n not_o unlike_a unto_o mustard_n with_o which_o they_o furnish_v their_o house_n in_o so_o great_a a_o quantity_n that_o they_o fill_v ton_n and_o hogshead_n therewith_o as_o in_o many_o place_n of_o europe_n man_n do_v with_o wine_n yet_o they_o use_v it_o not_o for_o meat_n by_o itself_o but_o for_o sauce_n only_o to_o quicken_v their_o appetite_n in_o eat_v of_o their_o rice_n which_o they_o suppose_v will_v otherwise_o be_v unsavoury_a they_o abound_v also_o with_o shellfish_n with_o oyster_n and_o
