The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Travels of Sir John Mandeville by Sir John Mandeville: reverence and incline to the emperor, that is God's Son and
sovereign lord of all the world! For now is time! And then every
man boweth his head toward the earth.
And then commandeth the same philosopher again; Stand up! And they
do so.
And at another hour, saith another philosopher; Put your little
finger in your ears! And anon they do so.
And at another hour, saith another philosopher; Put your hand
before your mouth! And anon they do so.
And at another hour, saith another philosopher; Put your hand upon
your head! And after that he biddeth them to do their hand away.
