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

Ah dear God I What love had he to us his subjects, when he that never trespassed, would for trespassers suffer death Right well ought us for to love and worship, to dread and serve such a Lord, and to worship and praise such an holy land, that brought forth such fruit, through the which every man is saved, but it be his own default. Well may that land be called delectable and a fructuous land, that was be-bled and moisted with the precious blood of our Lord Jesu Christ the which is the same land that our Lord behight us in heritage. And in that land he would die, as seised, to leave it to us, his children.
