Another yle there is, that men clepen Oxidrate; and another yle, that men clepen Gynosophe, where there is also gode folk, and fulle of gode feythe:  and thei holden for the most partye the gode condiciouns and customs and gode maneres, as men of the contree above seyd:  but thei gon alle naked.  In to that yle entred Kyng Alisandre, to see the manere.  And when he saughe hire gret feythe and hire trouthe, that was amonges hem, he seyde that he wolde not greven hem:  and bad hem aske of him, what that they wolde have of hym, ricchesse or ony thing elles; and thei scholde have it with gode wille.  And thei answerden, that he was riche y now, that hadde mete and drynke to susteyne the body with.  For the ricchesse of this world, that is transitorie, is not worthe:  but zif it were in his power to make hem immortalle, there of wolde thei preyen him, and thanken him.  And Alisandre answerde hem, that it was not in his powere to don it, because he was mortelle, as thei were.  And thanne thei asked him, whi he was so proud and so fierce and so besy, for to putten alle the world undre his subieccioun, righte as thou were a god; and hast no terme of this lif, neither day ne hour; and wylnest to have alle the world at thi commandement, that schalle leve the with outen fayle, or thou leve it.  And righte as it hathe ben to other men before the, right so it schalle ben to othere aftre the:  and from hens schal thou bere no thyng; but as thou were born naked, righte so alle naked schalle thi body ben turned in to erthe, that thou were made of.  Wherfore thou scholdest thenke and impresse it in thi mynde, that nothing is immortalle, but only God, that made alle thing.  Be the whiche answere, Alisandre was gretly astoneyed and abayst; and alle confuse departe from hem.  And alle be it that theyse folk han not the articles of oure feythe, as wee han, natheles for hire gode feythe naturelle, and for hire gode entent, I trowe fulle, that God lovethe hem, and that God take hire servyse to gree, right as he did of Job, that was a Paynem, and held him for his trewe servaunt.  And therfore alle be it that there ben many dyverse lawes in the world, zit I trowe, that God lovethe alweys hem that loven him, and serven him mekely in trouthe; and namely, hem that dispysen the veyn glorie of this world; as this folk don, and as Job did also:  and therfore seyde oure Lorde, be the mouthe of Ozee the prophete, Ponam eis multiplices leges meas.  And also in another place, Qui totum orbem subdit suis legibus.  And also our Lord seythe in the Gospelle, Alias oves habeo, que non sunt ex hoc ovili; that is to seyne, that he hadde othere servauntes, than tho that ben undre Cristene lawe.  And to that acordethe the avisioun, that Seynt Petir saughe at Jaffe, how the aungel cam from Hevene, and broughte before him diverse bestes, as serpentes and other crepynge bestes of the erthe, and of other also gret plentee, and bad him take and ete.  And Seynt Petir answerde; I ete never, quoth
