things which India and the countrey farther Eastward do bring forth.

The pepper groweth in many parts of India, especially about Cochin: and
much of it doeth grow in the fields among the bushes without any labour:
and when it is ripe they go and gather it. The shrubbe is like vnto our iuy
tree: and if it did not run about some tree or pole, it would fall down and
rot. When they first gather it, it is greene; and then they lay it in the
Sun, and it becommeth blacke.

The ginger groweth like vnto our garlick, and the root is the ginger: it is
to be found in many parts of India.

The cloues doe come from the Iles of the Moluccoes, which be diuers Ilands:
their tree is like to our bay tree.

The nutmegs and maces grow together, and come from the Ile of Banda: the
tree is like to our walnut tree, but somewhat lesser.

The white sandol is wood very sweet and in great request among the Indians;
for they grinde it with a litle water, and anoynt their bodies therewith:
it commeth from the Isle of Timor.

Camphora is a precious thing among the Indians, and is solde dearer than
golde. I thinke none of it commeth for Christendome. That which is
compounded commeth from China: but that which groweth in canes and is the
best, commeth from the great Isle of Borneo.

Lignum Aloes commeth from Cauchinchina.

The beniamin commeth out of the countreys of Siam and Iangomes.
