TRauelling forward foure dayes iourney you come vnto a citie named Cinaugnary, a great and a famous Citie standing vp∣pon a Mountayne, which parteth a riuer into two partes, and trauelling foure
dayes iourney forwarde, you come vnto a Citie named Signy, whiche is vnder the segniorie of Quinsay. And after you enter into the Realme of Fuguy, and trauelling for∣ward sixe dayes iourney towardes Solano, or East, and by South, through mountaynes and valleys, you shall finde many Cities and Townes, hauing plenty of all victuals, and singular for Hunting and Hawking, and plenty of spices, and suger so plenty, that you may buy forty pound of Suger for a Venice groate. There groweth a cer∣tayne swéete fruite like vnto Saffron, and they vse it in¦stead of Saffron. The people of this Countrey eate mans flesh, so that he dye not of naturall death. When the people of this Countrey go vnto the warres, they doe make certayne signes in their forheads, to be the better knowen: and they go all on foote, except their Lorde, who rideth on Horsebacke. They are very cruell people, and vse the speare and sword. They do eate the fleshe of those men that they kill, and drinke their bloud. In the middes of these sixe dayes iourney, standeth the Citie named Be∣limpha, whiche hath foure bridges of marble, with very fayre pillers of marble. Euery bridge of these is a mile in length, & nine paces in breadth. Vnto this Citie there commeth great plenty of Spices. Also, there is in thys Citie very faire men, and more fayre women, and there be blacke Hennes, and fatte without feathers, and verye perfect to eate. In this countrey there be Lions, and other wilde & perillous beasts, so yt they trauel in this cuntrey in great feare. At these sixe dayes iourneys ende, standeth the Citie named Vguca, where there is made great plentye of suger, which is all carried vnto the great Canes court.
Good cheape Suger.
