9 And no long time after, to wit in the year of our Lord 1248. Lewis King of France with his brethren Robert and Charles, and a most puissant army, saileth into Syria: ⟨p. 616⟩where Robert is slain, and Charles taken of the Soldan, is hardly delivered at the last, and with a few escapeth.
9 And no longe time after, to witte in the yere of our Lord 1248. Lewis Kinge of Fraunce with his bretherne Roberte and Charles, and a moste puissaunt army, sayleth into Syria: ⟨p. 616⟩where Robarte is slaine, and Charles taken of the Soldane, is hardely deliuered at the laste, and with a fewe escapeth.
The same king Lewis of France, in the year of our Lord 1270. embarketh himself with his three sons at Marseilles, to sail into Africa. The plague light upon his Army in the enemies land, wherewith both the father and the son died, and the whole Army received an exceeding great calamity.
The same king Lewis of Fraunce, in the yere of our Lord 1270. imbarketh himself with his three sonnes at Marselles, to sayle into Affricke. The plague light vpō his Armie in the enemies lande, wherwith both the father and the sonne died, and the whole Armie receyued an excedyng great calamitie.
And again, although they had but evil favoured luck in the wars against the Barbarians, yet was it nevertheless treated again in the council of Lions under Gregory the .10. about the year of our Lord .1273. of recovering the holy land, But Palmerius in the year of our Lord .1291. Where many thousands of the Christians, sayeth he, were slain in Syria by the Saracens, all the rest for fear fled out of the country. And the Chronicle of kings of France. Aemilius, sayeth he, made here an end of the holy war (to wit in the year of our Lord .1291.) Ptolemais in the East being destroyed by the Soldan. It is manifest therefore that this Barbarous and gogical war hath lasted about .195. years. So long time as I know no other war in the world that ever was made with such obstinate minds, with so great armies, and so much shedding of mans blood. We see in the mean time the tents of saints, and the city of God beloved, to wit the faithful church through out the world in the East especially, and in the west also, to be most grievously afflicted, and more than oppressed and destroyed, a few small remnants only remaining: that not with out cause we may perceive that the lord said in the gospel: but when the son of man shall come, shall he find any faith in the Earth?
