They say, the three chiefe religions in the world be of the Christians, Iewes, and Turks, and yet but one of them true:  but being in doubt which is the truest of the three, they will be of none:  for they hold that all these three shall be iudged, and but few of them which be of the true shall be saued, the examination shall be so straight; and therefore, as I haue sayd before, to preuent this iudgement, they burne their bodies to ashes.  They say, these three religions haue too many precepts to keepe them all wel, and therefore wonderfull hard it wil be to make account, because so few doe obserue all their religion aright.  And thus passing the time for the space of three moneths in this sea voyage, we arriued at Venice the tenth of Iune:  and after I had seene Padua, with other English men, I came the ordinary way ouer the Alpes, by Augusta, Noremberg and so for England; where to the praise of God I safely arriued the ninth of August 1595.
