and they will kil nothing.  They haue hospitals for sheepe, goates, dogs, cats, birds, and for all other liuing creatures.  When they be old and lame, they keepe them vntil they die.  If a man catch or buy any quicke thing in other places and bring it thither, they wil giue him mony for it or other victuals, and keepe it in their hospitals or let it go, They wil giue meat to the Ants.  Their smal mony is almonds, [Marginal note:  In Mexico they vse likewise for small money the fruit Cacao which are like almonds.] which oftentimes they vse to eat.  From thence I returned to Hugeli, which is the place where the Portugals keep in the country of Bengala which standeth in 23. degrees of Northerly latitude, and standeth a league from Satagan:  they cal it Porto Piqueno.  We went through the wildernes, because the right way was full of thieues, where we passed the countrey of Gouren, where we found but few villages, but almost all wildernes, and saw many buffes, swine and deere, grasse longer then a man, and uery [sic—­KTH] many Tigers. [Sidenote:  Porto Angeli.] Not far from Porto Piqueno south westward, standeth an hauen which is called Angeli, in the countrey of Orixa.  It was a kingdom of it selfe, and the king was a great friend to strangers.  Afterwards it was taken by the king of Patan which was their neighbour, but he did not enioy it long, but was taken by Zelabdim Echebar, which is king of Agra, Delli, and Cambaia.  Orixi standeth 6. daies iourney from Satagan, south westwards. [Sidenote:  The like cloth may be made of the long grasse in Virginia.] In this place is very much Rice, and cloth made of cotton, and great store of cloth which is made of grasse, which they call Yerua, it is like a silke.  They make good cloth out of it which they send for India and diuers other places.  To this hauen of Angeli come, euery yeere many ships out of India, Negapatan, Sumatra, Malacca, and diuers other places; and lade from thence great store of Rice, and much cloth of cotton wooll, much sugar, and long pepper, great store of butter, and other victuals for India.  Satagam is a faire citie for a citie of the Moores, and very plentifull of all things.  Here in Bengala they haue euery day in one place or other a great market which they call Chandeau, and they haue many great boats which they cal pericose, wherewithall they go from place to place and buy Rice and many other things:  these boates haue 24. or 26. oares to rowe them, they be great of burthen, but haue no couerture.  Here the Gentiles haue the water of Ganges in great estimation, for hauing good water neere them, yet they will fetch the water of Ganges a great way off, and if they haue not sufficient to drinke, they will sprinkle a litle on them, and then they thinke themselues well.  From Satagam I trauelled by the countrey of the king of Tippara or porto Grande, with whom the Mogores or Mogen haue almost continuall warres.  The Mogen which be of the kingdom of Recon and Rame, be stronger then the king of Tippara, so that Chatigan or porto Grande is oftentimes vnder the king of Recon.
