Excerpt from The Travels of Sir John Mandeville: The Version of the Cotton Manuscript in Modern Spelling; With Three Narratives, in Illustration of It, From Hakluyt's Navigations, Voyages Discoveries I shall tell the way that they shall hold thither. For I have often times passed and ridden that way, with good company of many lords. God be thanked! And ye shall understand, that I have put this book out of Latin into French, and translated it again out of French into English, that every man of my nation may understand it. But lords and knights and other noble and worthy men that con Latin but little, and have been beyond the sea, know and understand, if I say truth or no, and if I err in devising, for forgetting or else, that they may redress it and amend it. For things passed out of long time from a man's mind or from his sight, turn soon into forgetting; because that mind of man ne may not be comprehended ne withholden, for the frailty of mankind.
