AD. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1415. 



Assyrios una cum Anglico exercitu petiit, ac suum non 

 sine laude praestitit officium. Claruit anno salutiferi 

 partus, 1280, varia componens, sub eodem Edwardo 

 ejus nominis primo post Conquestum. 



The same in English. 



Robert Turneham Franciscan, a notable professour 

 of Divinity, was with great dignity Prior of the 

 Colledge of his Order in the famous Mart towne of 

 Linne, situate upon the river of Isis in Norfolke. 

 Prince Edward surnamed the Long, the sonne of Henry 

 the third, prepared his warlike voyage against the 

 Saracens dwelling in Syria, in the yeere of our Lord, 

 1268. For the which expedition some earnest preacher 

 was sought to stir up the peoples minds in the cause 

 of religion. And this Turneham seemed to the Prince 

 most worthy to performe that office : so that he being 

 appointed as it were a standerd bearer, went into Syria 

 with the English army, and performed his duety with 

 good commendation. He flourished in the yeere of 

 Christ 1280, setting foorth divers works under the 

 same king Edward the first of that name after the 

 Conquest.
