Every Family has a Urine Tub placed before the Entry, in which they make Water, and leave it ſo ſtanding, till it ſmells moſt inſufferably; for they put in it the Skins, which are to be dreſſed, for to ſoak or ſteep in it, which affords not the agreeableſt Scent; to the encreaſing of which the rotten Pieces of Fleſh Meat and Fat, thrown under their Benches, contribute a great deal; Their Houſes filled with a naſty Stench.ſo that delicate Noſes do not find their Account among them.

They fear and reſpecct us as a Nation far ſuperior to theirs in Valour and Strength.
