There Is A Faire Or Market Following The Court Of
Baatu At All Times:
But it was so farre distant from vs that we could not
haue recourse thereunto.
For wee were constrained to walke on foote for
want of horses. [Sidenote: Hungarians.] At length certaine Hungarians (who
had sometime bene after a sort Cleargie men) found vs out and one of them
could as yet sing many songs without booke, and was accompted of other
Hungarians as a Priest, and was sent for vnto the funerals of his deceased
countrey men. There was another of them also pretily wel instructed in his
Grammer: for hee could vnderstand the meaning of any thing that wee spake
but could not answere vs. These Hungarians were a great comfort vnto vs,
bringing vs Cosmos to drinke, yea and some times flesh for to eate also

giue them (for indede we had none but onely a Bible, and a breuiarie) it
grieued mee exceedingly. And I said vnto them: Bring mee some inke and
paper, and I will write for you so long as we shall remaine here: and they
did so. And I copied out for them Horas beata Virginis, and Officium
defunctorum. [Sidenote: A Comanian.] Moreouer, vpon a certaine day, there
was a Comanian that accompanied vs, saluting vs in Latine, and saying:
Saluete Domini. Wondering thereat and saluting him againe, I demaunded of
him, who had taught him that kind of salutation?
