Page 303 - Saints, which images men carie upon their shoulders: after the images follow certaine priests to the number of 100 or more: after them the Metropolitan who is led betweene two priests, and after the Metropolitan came the Emperour with his crowne upon his head, and after his majestie all his noble men orderly.

The other sixe weekes they keepe as we do ours, but not one of them will eate either butter, cheese, egs or milke.
Page 364 - ... taking a great shot or bullet in his hand, willed the messenger to tel them that they should not want of that geare, so long as it would last. The ninth day newes was brought that the Crims determined to assault the towne or castle, and were making of fagots of reede, to bring with them for that purpose. The tenth day two Russes that were captives, and two of the Tartars bondmen ranne away from the Nagayes, and came into Astracan.
Page 350 - The towne is but euill builded, and for the most part all of bricke, not hardened with fire, but onely dried at the Sunne, as is the most part of the building of all Persia. The King hath not come out of the compasse of his owne house in three and thirtie or foure and thirtie yeeres, whereof the cause is not knowen, but as they 1 Eden, p.
