of_o the_o word_n press_v jean_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n that_o of_o scaliger_n be_v the_o most_o probable_a who_o derive_v it_o from_o the_o persian_a word_n prestegiani_n which_o signify_v as_o

there_o be_v but_o two_o objection_n of_o any_o moment_n to_o be_v make_v against_o this_o assertion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o same_o pressed_a jean_n who_o be_v so_o much_o celebrate_v throughout_o europe_n and_o his_o subject_n be_v christian_n whereas_o the_o people_n inhabit_v now_o adays_o the_o great_a tartary_n be_v idolater_n the_o second_o be_v that_o press_v jean_n be_v a_o temporal_a prince_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o though_o at_o present_a that_o vast_a country_n be_v altogether_o possess_v by_o infidel_n or_o pagan_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o in_o more_o ancient_a time_n the_o christian_a religion_n be_v introduce_v into_o those_o part_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o continue_v there_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n there_o be_v certain_a remnant_n of_o christianity_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o to_o this_o day_n among_o some_o of_o its_o inhabitant_n there_o be_v a_o country_n in_o those_o part_n call_v by_o the_o moor_n in_o derision_n kiaferstan_n that_o be_v the_o country_n of_o the_o infidel_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o which_o be_v call_v to_o this_o day_n christian_n of_o st._n thomas_n and_o though_o no_o christian_n now_o yet_o have_v retain_v baptism_n for_o their_o child_n have_v paint_v cross_n in_o their_o church_n and_o bear_v three_o red_a cross_n make_v with_o the_o tincture_n of_o sanders-wood_n in_o their_o forehead_n i_o think_v it_o be_v almost_o beyond_o question_n that_o in_o the_o thirteen_o age_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a number_n of_o christian_n in_o tartary_n their_o emperor_n cublai_n have_v embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o his_o brother_n wage_v war_n with_o great_a success_n against_o the_o caliph_n of_o babylon_n and_o other_o infidel_n in_o the_o fourteen_o age_n several_a of_o franciscan_a monk_n who_o be_v send_v to_o the_o great_a chan_n convert_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o thibet_n which_o be_v next_o to_o that_o of_o tanchut_v a_o great_a number_n of_o pagan_n and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a what_o f._n andrada_n a_o portugese_n jesuit_n relate_v that_o in_o the_o year_n 1624._o when_o he_o travel_v in_o those_o part_n he_o find_v among_o the_o inhabitant_n some_o corrupt_a idea_n of_o christianity_n as_o a_o certain_a sort_n of_o confession_n of_o that_o christian_a faith_n their_o ancestor_n have_v profess_v in_o former_a age_n and_o i_o think_v it_o no_o less_o worth_a observation_n that_o this_o dalaè_fw-fr or_o highpriest_n of_o the_o tartarian_a bear_v the_o name_n of_o lama_n which_o in_o the_o tartarian_a language_n signify_v a_o cross_n and_o that_o the_o tartar_n of_o bogdoi_fw-la who_o acknowledge_v among_o the_o rest_n the_o authority_n of_o this_o dalaè_n wear_v always_o cross_n about_o they_o which_o they_o call_v lama_n and_o keep_v they_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reverence_n as_o to_o the_o second_o objection_n of_o this_o dalaè_fw-la not_o be_v a_o temporal_a prince_n now_o this_o may_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o war_n and_o revolution_n of_o a_o country_n inhabit_v by_o several_a distinct_a nation_n so_o as_o be_v first_o corrupt_v and_o at_o last_o
