Insolentia Aduersus Exteros.] Porro Erga Cateros Homines Ijdem
Tartari Superbissimi Sunt, Omnesque Nobiles Et Ignobiles Quasi Pro Nihilo
Reputantes Despiciunt.
Vnde vidimus in curia Imperatoris magnum Russia
ducem, et filuim regis Georgianorum, ac Soldanos multos et magnos nullum
honorem debitum recipere apud eos.
[Sidenote: Iracundia.] Quinetiam Tartari
eisdem assignati, quantumcunque viles essent illos antecedebant, semperque
primum locum et summum tenebant, imo etiam sape oportebat illos post eorum
posteriora sedere. Praterea iracundi sunt, et indignantis natura multum
erga cateros homines, et vltra modum erga eosdem mendaces. In principio
quidem blandi sunt, sed postmodum vt Scorpiones pungunt. [Sidenote:
Fraudulentia.] Subdoli enim et fraudulenti sunt, et omnes homines si
possunt astutia circumueniunt. [Sidenote: Sordes. Temulentia.] Quicquid
mali volunt eis facere, miro modo occultant, vt sibi non possint prouidere,
vel contra eorum astutias remedium inuenire. Immundi quoque sunt in cibo et
potu sumendis, et in cateris factis suis. Ebrietas apud illos est
honorabilis: cumque multum aliquis biberit, ibidemque reijcit, non ideo
cessat, quin iterim bibat. [Sidenote: [Greek: dorodoxia.]] Ad petendum
maximi sunt exactores, tenacissimi retentores, parcissimi donatores.
Aliorum hominum occisio apud illos est pro nihilo.
The same in English.
Of their manners both good and bad. Chap. 5.
[Sidenote: Their obedience.] Their manners are partly prayse-worthie, and
partly detestable: For they are more obedient vnto their lords and masters,
then any other either clergie or laie-people in the whole world. For they
doe highly reuerence them, and will deceiue them, neither in wordes nor
deedes. They seldom or neuer fall out among themselues, and, as for
fightings or brawlings, wounds or manslaughters, they neuer happen among
them.
