H E chief Richei of the Cdtitifrj? of 'tiimpUtt cdnfift Ini
the great {^taantity of Silks which they fell to thfe
r Hollahikts, arid Other Fcreigriers, &ttd irt theif
num Aloes. Of which there is t ome worth k thouiarid Crowns
the Pound, according to its goodriels arid oylinefsi There
h fome that is nOt Worth above three CrOWfls, /bat it is dry
and good for nothing but to fhake Gabinets, oi Beads to
hang about Womens Necks. All the MainanetnHs i elpecially
fuch as let their Beards grow , make great acOoufft of this
Wood j and When they give a Vifit, they prefetttly bring a,
little Ghafing-difh, and caft a fmall piece of this Wood
ttpba the Coals , which yields a Imoak and plealing mift ■
with which they perfume their Beards, at the fame time
lifting up their hands to Heaven, arid crying, Elhiihed lllah-
or God be thanked. If the Wood be oily, the bignefs of a Pea
will lerve to throw upon the fire , which being a little
inoiften’din Water, will yield as much fmoak as a dry piece
as big as a Man’s fill. Which is the reafon, that if it be
oily and good it Wants no price. One of the chief Prcfents.
as I have obferv’d in another part of this Book, which

piece of Lignum Aloes, fix foot long, and two round. It
coft 40000 'Tardo's Or 54000 Litres.

the People of Tmqmn , by how much the more faithful and
frank they are in their dealing then the Chirtcfcs, Who will
deceive you if they can ; fo that it is a hard thing to be too’
ttfttoing for them, as I have often found by experience.
When you have fold them any Commodity, and they find
that their Bargain is not very advantageous , their general
way of getting' Off is this : As they have generally three
forts of Reals, One fort that is full weight, others which are
%ht, four, others eight per Cent, if they have no friind to :
