In every crossing of this great way is planted a Post, and in it so many bobs with broad ends, as there be ways, and every bob the Figure painted on it, that demonstrateth to what part that way leadeth; as that which pointeth towards the _Crim's_ Country, is marked with a half Moon, if towards the _Georgians_ and _Persia,_ a black Man, full of white spots, if towards _China,_ the Picture of the Sun, if towards _Muscovia,_ the Sign of a Cross, if towards the Habitation of any other Prince, the Figure whereby his Standard is known. To his dying Spirits thus God added some comfort in this melancholy Journey, wherein if he had met any of that vile Generation, they had made him their Slave, or knowing the Figure Engraven in the Iron about his Neck, (as all Slaves have) he had been sent back again to his Master; sixteen days he travelled in this fear and torment, after the Cross, till he arrived at _AEcopolis,_ upon the River _Don,_ a Garrison of the _Muscovites._ The Governour after due Examination of those his hard events, took off his Irons, and so kindly used him, he thought himself new risen from the Dead, and the good Lady _Calamata,_ largely Supplied all his wants. {MN-1} This is as much as he could learn of those wild Countries, that the Country of _Cambia_ is two days Journey from the Head of the great River _Bruapo,_ which springeth from many places of the Mountains of _Innagachi,_ that joyn themselves together in the Pool _Kerkas_ which they account for the Head, and falleth into the Sea _Dissabacca,_ called by some the Lake _Maeotas,_ which receiveth also the River _Tanais,_ and all the Rivers that fall from the great Countries of the _Circassi,_ the _Cartaches,_ and many from the _Tauricaes, Precopes, Cummani, Cossunka,_ and the _Crim;_ through which Sea he Sailed, and up the River _Bruapo_ to _Nalbrits,_ and thence through the Desarts of _Circassi_ to _AEcopolis,_ as is related; where he stayed with the Governour, till the Convoy went to _Caragnaw;_ then with his Certificate how he found him, and had examined with his friendly Letters, sent him by _Zumalack_ to _Caragnaw,_ whose Governour in like manner so kindly used him, that by this means he went with a safe conduct to _Lesch,_ and _Donko,_ in _Cologoske,_ and thence to _Berniske_, and _Newgrod_ in _Siberia,_ by _Rezechica,_ upon the River _Nieper,_ in the confines of _Lithuania;_ from whence with as much kindness, he was convoyed in like manner by _Coroski, Duberesko, Duzihell, Drohobus,_ and _Ostroge_ in _Volonia; Saslaw,_ and _Lasco_ in _Podolia; Halico_ and _Collonia_ in _Polonia;_ and so to _Hermonstat_ in _Transilvania._ In all this his life, he seldom met with more Respect, Mirth, Content and Entertainment; and not any Governour where he came, but gave him somewhat as a Present, besides his Charges; seeing themselves as subject to the like Calamity. {MN-2} Through those poor continually Foraged Countries, there is no passage, but with the Caravans or Convoys;
