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: wood. And when they go to war, they lead their houses with them
upon chariots, as men do tents or pavilions. And they make their
fire in the midst of their houses.
And they have great multitude of all manner of beasts, save only of
swine, for they bring none forth. And they believe well one God
that made and formed all things. And natheles yet have they idols
of gold and silver, and of tree and of cloth. And to those idols
they offer always their first milk of their beasts, and also of
their meats and of their drinks before they eat. And they offer
often-times horses and beasts. And they clepe the God of kind
YROGA.
