Stran 354 - No nation in the world is so subject unto jealousie; for they will rather leese their lives, then put up any disgrace in the behalfe of their women.
Stran 356 - ... virgine for his spouse: albeit, so soone as any woman is married, she is quite forsaken of all her suiters; who then seeke out other new paramours for their liking. Concerning their religion, the greater part of these people are neither Mahumetans, Jewes, nor Christians; and hardly shall you finde so much as a sparke of pietie in any of them.
Stran 521 - In these woods growe plentie of wilde citrons and limons, which differ not much in taste from the best of all.
