THe ••••••••••itans of Tercere are either Portugals, which liue after the manner of their [ V] cou••••••••e 〈◊〉〈◊〉 borne in the Island, which follow the manners of the Portugals and Spaniards which rule ouer them. They are not giuen to hunting, for that the countrie hath no•• any beasts, but some few conies. The first inhabitants of the Island of Fayal were Flemings, so as they retaine something of the humor of the Flemish Nation, whom [] they doe affect aboue all others. The inhabitants of the Tercere are laborious, and gi∣ue•• to ma••ure the ground; so as they make vines to grow vpon the rocks, which seeme nothing fit for that vse. They are accustomed, for the preseruing of their corn, (which cor∣rupts within the yere) to hide it vnder the ground for the space of foure of fiue moneths. All the inhabitants, of the towne of Praye especially, haue a great round hole in a certain 〈…〉〈…〉 which a man may enter, and vpon the top of it there is a couering with the 〈…〉〈…〉 Maister: Euerie man puts his wheat into this hole after haruest, which is in Iulie, an•• ••••aues it so couered vntill Christmas: then the inhabitants take it forth sound and vn••••••••••pted, yet some draw it forth but as they spend it, and leaue the rest: hauing beene thus kept in these holes or wells during the said time, the rest of the yere they pre∣serue [] 〈◊〉〈◊〉 coffers, hauing no need of stirring. They are accustomed to giue a name to 〈…〉〈…〉 ••hich is taught to know when his maister calls him. There are many artizans 〈…〉〈…〉 themselues to make many prettie toyes of wood; but they work not so neatly 〈…〉〈…〉 in Germanie. The labourers of Tercere imploy themselues 〈…〉〈…〉 of woad. They of Sancte Maria are giuen much to make earthen vessell.
