 country be swarte, and doth go disgisyd in theyr apparel, con- 

 trary to other nacyons: they be lyght fyngerd, and vse pyking; 

 they haue litle maner, and euyl loggyng, and yet they be

 dele alyons. There mony is brasse and golde. yf there be 

 any man that wyl learne parte of theyr speche, Englyshe and 

 Egipt speche foloweth.
