267 페이지 - God, were every where predominant; and the habit only, or rather the excess and number of their vices, distinguished the Christians from the unbelievers. This terrible prospect of a sinful town, gave Xavier to comprehend, that his stay in Malacca was necessary, and might possibly turn to a good account; but before he would undertake the reformation of a town so universally corrupted, he employed some days in serving of the sick; he passed...
17 페이지 - ... these masters of the desert were visible in every direction. We passed through what is called by the natives the region of tigers. The superstitious inhabitants of the surrounding country imagine that there is a stream in these parts, which, when passed over by a human being, possesses the virtue of transforming him to that ferocious animal, and on his return, of restoring him to his original shape. From this fabulous story we expected to find the woods infested with tigers, but, to our astonishment,...
45 페이지 - The manes of their departed ancestors are held in the highest veneration, and are esteemed not inferior to the gods themselves. They suppose them to take concern in the welfare of their posterity, over whom they are always watchful.

During the last war the French took a...

We find the...
