ABSTRACT
This chapter contains the manner of diminishing the power of the sultan, by showing how faithful Christians carry on the trade necessary to them without having access to the lands. It contains certain essentials very pertinent to acquiring these lands from the Saracens and from others. The Sultan expelled the Christians from the Holy Land of Promise. They also bring girls, both Christian and pagan, to Egypt and the lands of the Sultan from various people's, which they use for their carnal pleasure and which they subject to the law of Machomet to the damnation of their souls. The land of Armenia, where cotton grows in great abundance, and the spices and commerce of India comes down to Armenia, through the countryside and from the city of Baldac. The boycott and the successful completion of that most holy programme for the recovery of the Holy Land, sprinkled with the most precious blood of our sweet Lord Jesus Christ.
