Of the ISLAND tf/CANDY. 



OU T of the Ifland of Candy Strangers export great ftore of Wheat and 

 Sallet-Oyl , all forts of Pulie , Cheele , yellow Wax, Cottons , Silks, 

 but more efpecially Malmfey, wherein confifts its chiefeft Trade. When 

 Vintage draws near, the Country-people that are to gather the Grapes 

 wrap their Feet in a piece of a Boar's Skin , which they tye together upon the 

 upper part of the foot with a piece of Pack-thrcd, to preierve their Feet from the

 they have a vaft vent for it all over Titrkje , Perfia , and Ethiopia ; where they that 

 follow the C/rf^and Armenian Church , eat little or nothing clfe all the Lent. By

 beft in the World,fo that whatever is faftcn'd with it,will rather break in another place 

 than where it is glew'd. They make it thus : When they have caught a Sturgeon, they 

 pull out his Guts, and then there remains a Skin that covers the Flefh-, this Skin 

 they take off from the head to the belly. It is very clammy, and about the thick-

 dry in the Sun. When they ufe it, they beat it with a Mallet, and when it is 

 well beat'n they break it into pieces, and fteep it in Water for half an hour in a 

 little Pot.
