Moreover the Saracens,1 Turks & Tartarians are most diligently described. First is commended in them a wonderful expedition and celerity, the principal virtue in wars. They are ever, sayeth he, ready at every moment to execute the judgements of God. Therefore he rehearseth all parts of time, even every hour of the day. And so there is no security from them: thou canst be never in surety. They are by & by in armour, & come unlooked for, they invade, & speed their matters most luckily. He addeth that through their most cruel & speedy armours the third part of men in the world should be slain. Verily Asia, Africa, and Europe have felt of the ⟨p. 272⟩most cruel slaughters and destructions of the Saracens, Turks, and Tartarians, ever sins the time of Mahomet unto our days, about the space of .ix. hundred and .xx. years. And also the priests of Mahomet are very quick and diligent, to allure men into their errors, neither want they lucky success.
