Wherfore it is lyke that god almyghtie wyll delyuer the holy lande yet all christenmen of dyuers landes and of dyuers realmes by fayth and deuocyon be apparelled to toke the crosse and to passe ouer the see into the holy land Helpe and to put theyr body goodes for the honour reuerēce of our lorde Ihū Crist valyauntly with a good wyll ¶ How the ennemis of the christē fayth was mynisshed put down

the christēland And so in this tyme the holy land myght be recouered by the helpe of the tartas and the realme of Egypt conquered lyghtly without peryll or daunger And so it were nede that the christēmen shuld set vpon the holy lande without any taryenge for in the taryenge is great daunger For fere of Carbanda that is nowe frende shulde fayle and an other might cōe that shulde vse the mahometz wayes that shulde agre with the sarasyns And so it myght tourne to great dāmage and paryll of the christen lande and of the holy lande ouer the see ¶ Before your reuerence holi father I say and confesse that I am nat of sufficyent scyence to gyue counsell without great doyng as the maker of the passage ouer the see to the holy lande But bycause that I haue yet the payne of the inobediente soone I wyll obey to the cōmaundement of your holynesse against the which no good christēmen ought to go than requyring first ꝑdon of any thyng that I shuld say more or lesse I shall say myne aduysement after my lytell knowlege all as the wysemen counsell ¶ Of the aduersytes prosperiteys of the ennemys TO the hounour of our lorde Ihesu Christe I trust to accōplyshe my faute I say to the entent that the holy lande may be cōquered with leest payne trouble It is conuenyent that the cristenmen shall entre into the lande and that thei shuld set vpon their ennemys in the sayd tyme that

great daūger and payne we shall deuyse truely which is the prosperytie whiche is the aduersytie The aduersyte of ennemys is this Whan the sarasyns haue a sowdan and a lord wyse and valyaunt and such that he may without any fere of his rebellynge holde and kepe his lordshippe The other prosperytie of the ēnemys may be whan thei haue ben longe in peace without any warr of the tartas or other mē And yet whan they haue great haboundaūce of corne other goodꝭ in the realme of Syrie and yet whan the wayes be sure by the see and by the lande open And such thynges that the ennemys haue ned may be brought to thē wtout any cōtradit out of straūge coūtreis yet whan the sarasyns be in peace with Nubiens with the Bednins of Egipt desert so thei moue no warr nor quetell yet whan the truqueniens bednȳs that dwelled in the realme of Egypt Syrie obedyent to the sowdan of Egypt bycause of the aboue sayd thyngeꝭ and prosperites the ennemys power shuld ryse so moch that it shuld be impossible to
