Ed. Halliwell and thei putten thereto a littille bawme for to zeven gode odour. And sume putten wax in oyle p. 51. of the wode *and* of the fruyt of bawme, and seyn that it is bawme; and sume destyllen clowes of gylofre and of spykenard of Spayne and of othere spices, that ben well smellynge; and the lykour that gothe out thereof, thei clepe it bawme; and thei wenen, that thei han bawme, and thei have non. For the Sarazines countrefeten it be sotyltee of craft, for to disceyven the crist- 5 ene men, as I have seen fulle many a tyme; and aftre hem, the marchauntis and the apotecaries countrefeten it eftsones, and than it is lasse worthe, and a gret del worse. But if it lyke zou, I schalle schewe, how zee schulle knowe and preve, to the ende that zee schulle not ben disceyved. First, zee schulle wel knowe, that the naturelle bawme is fulle cleer, and of cytrine colour, and stronge smellynge; and if it be thykke or reed or blak, it is sophisticate, that is 10 to seyne, contrcfeted and made lyke it, for disceyt. And undrestondethe, that if zee wil putte a litylle bawme in the pawme of zoure hond, azen the sonne, zif it be fyn and gode, zee ne schulle not suffre zoure hand azenst the hete of the sonne. Also takethe a lytille bawme, with the poynt of a knif, and touche it to the fuyr, and if it brenne, it (p. 52) is a gode signe. p. 52. Aftre, take also a drope of bawme, and put it into a dissche or in a cuppe with mylk of a 15 goot; and if it be naturelle bawme, anon it wole take and beclippe the mylk. Or put a drope of bawme in clere watre, in a cuppe of sylver or in a clere bacyn, and stere it wel with the clere watre; and if that the bawme be fyn and of his owne kynde, the watre schalle nevere trouble; and if the bawme be sophisticate, that is to seyne, countrefeted, the watre schalle become anon trouble. And also, if the bawme be fyn, it schalle falle to the botme of the ves- 20 selle, as though it were quyksylver; for the fyn bawme is more hevy twyes, than is the bawme that is sophisticate and countrefeted. Now I have spoken of bawme, and now also I schalle speke of another thing, that is bezonde Babyloyne, above the flode of Nyle, toward the desert, betwene Affrik and Egypt: that is to seyn, of the gerneres of Joseph, that he leet make, for to kepe the greynes for the perile of the dere eres. And thei ben made of ston, fulle wel made 25 of masonnes craft; of the whiche two ben merveylouse grete and hye, and the tothere ne ben not so grete.

And so fynden thei (p. 53) in here scriptures and in here cronycles. On that other partie, if thei werein sepultures, thei scholden not ben voyd withinne. For zee may well knowe, that tombes and sepultures ne ben not made of suche gretnesse, ne of suche highnesse. Wherfore it is not to beleve, that thei ben tombes or sepultures. In Egypt also there ben dyverse langages and dyverse lettres, and of other manere con10 dicioun, than there ben in other parties.

Now will I retourne azen, or I procede ony ferthere, for to declare zou the othere weyes, 15 that drawen toward Babiloyne, where the soudan himself duellethe, that is at the entree of Egypt; for als moche as many folk gon thidre first, and aftre that to the mount Synay, and aftre retournen to Jerusalem, as I have seyd zou here beforn. For thei fulfillen first the more longe pilgrymage, and aftre retournen azen be the nexte weyes, because that the more nye weye is the more worthi, and that is Jerusalem. For no other pylgrymage is not lyk, in compar*i*20 soun to it. But for to fullefille here pilgrymages more esily and more sykerly, men gon first the longer weye.

And the gardyn is alweys grene and florisshing, alle the cesouns of the zeer, als wel in wyntre *a*s in somer. That ile holt in compas aboute 350 frensche myles. And betwene Cycele an Itaylle there is not but a lytille arm of the see, that men clepen the 5 farde of Mescyne. And Cycile is betwene the see Adryatyk and the see of Lombardye. And fro Cycyle into Calabre is but 8 myles of Lombardye. And in Cycile there is a manere of serpentes, be the whiche men assayen and preven, where here children ben bastardis or none, or of lawefulle mariage. For if thei ben born in righte mariage, the serpentes gon aboute hem, and don hem non harm; and if thei ben born in avowtrie, the serpentes byten hem and 10 envenyme hem. And thus manye wedded men preve, if the children ben here owne. Also in that ile (p. 55) is the mount Ethna, that men clepen mount Gybelle, and the wlcanes, that ben p. 55. everemore brennynge. And there ben 7 places, that brennen and that casten out dyverse flawmes and dyverse colour.

Egypt, and arryven at the cytee of Damyete, that was wont to be fulle strong, and it sytt at the entree of Egypt. And fro Damyete gon men to the cytee of Alizandre, that sytt also upon the see. In that cytee was seynte Kateryne beheded, and there was seynt Mark the evangelist p. 56. martyred and buryed; (p. 56) but the emperour Leoun made his bones to ben brought to 5 Venyse. And it there is at Alizandre a faire chirche, alle white withouten peynture, and so ben alle the othere chirches, that weren of the cristene men, alle white withinne. For the panemes and the Sarrazynes maden hem white, for to fordon the ymages of seyntes, that weren peynted on the walles. That cytee of Alizandre is wel 30 furlonges in lengthe, but it is but 10 on largenesse; and it is a fulle noble cytee and a fayr. At that cytee entrethe the ryvere 10 of Nyle into the see, as I to you have seyd before. In that ryvere men fynden many precyouse stones, and meche also of lignum aloes: and it is a manere of wode, that comethe out of Paradys terrestre, the whiche is good for manye dyverse medicynes, and it is righte dereworthe. And fro Alizandre men gon to Babyloyne, where the soudan dwellethe; that sytt also upon the p. 57. ryvere of Nyle. And this weye is most schort, for to go streyghte unto Babiloyne.

And than passe men be the welle of Marache, of the whiche the watre was first byttre; but the 20 children of Israel putten thereinne a tree, and anon the watre was swete and gode for to drynke. And thanne gon men be desart unto the vale of Elyn, in the whiche vale be 12 welles; and there ben 72 trees of palme, that beren the dates, the whiche Moyses fond with the children of Israel. And fro that valeye is but a gode journeye to the mount of Synay. And whoso wil go be another weye fro Babiloyne, than men gothe be the Rede See, that 25 is an arm of the see Occean. And there passed Moyses, with the children of Israel, overthwart the see, alle drye, whan Pharao the kyng of Egypt chaced hem. And that see is wel a 6 myle of largenesse in bredthe.

And zee may wel undirstonde, that be this desert no man may go on (p. 58) hors back, because that there nys nouther mete 5 for hors ne watre to drynke. And for that cause men passen that desert with camelle. For the camaylle fynt alle wey mete in trees and on busshes, that he fedethe him with. And he may well faste fro drynk 2 dayes or 3, and that may non hors don. p. 58. And wyte wel, that from Babiloyne to the mount Synay is wel a 12 gode journeyes, and some men maken hem more; and some men hasten hem and peynen hem, and therefore thei 10 maken hem lesse.

And it behovethe men to bere vitaille with hem, that schalle duren hem in tho desertes, and other necessaries for to lyve by. And the mount of Synay is clept the desert of Syne, that is for to seyne, the bussche brennynge, because there Moyses sawghe oure Lord God many tymes, in forme of fuyr brenn- 15 ynge upon that hille, and also in a bussche brennynge, and spak to him. And that was at the foot of the hille. There is an abbeye of monkes, wel bylded and wel closed with zates of iren, for drede of the wylde bestes.
