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: shall break, and so go out by finding of that issue.
From that land go men toward the land of Bacharia, where be full
evil folk and full cruel. In that land be trees that bear wool, as
though it were of sheep, whereof men make clothes and all things
that may be made of wool.
In that country be many hippotaynes that dwell some-time in the
water and sometime on the land. And they be half man and half
horse, as I have said before. And they eat men when they may take
them.
And there be rivers of waters that be full bitter, three sithes
more than is the water of the sea.
