The kingdom of Marocco is also extended aboue the Ocean Sea, vnto the citie of Azamor and Azafi, which are vpon the Ocean Sea, toward the West of the sayd kingdom.  Nere Mauritania Tingitana (that is to say, by the two kingdoms of Fes, and Marocco) are in the Sea, the Ilands of Canarie, called in old time, The fortunate Ilands.  Toward the south of this region is the kingdom of Guinea, with Senega, Ialofo, Gambra, and many other regions of the Blacke Moores, called Aethiopians or Negros all which are watered with the riuer Negro, called in old time Niger.  In the sayd regions are no cities, but onely certaine lowe cottages made of boughes of trees, plastered with chalke, and couered with strawe.  In these regions are also very great deserts.

The kingdom of Marocco hath vnder it these seuen kingdoms:  Hea, Sus, Guzula, the territorie of Marrocca, Duccala, Hazchora, and Tedle.  The kingdom of Fes hath as many:  as Fes, Temesne, Azgar, Elabath, Errif, Garet, and Elcair.  The kingdom of Tremisen hath these regions:  Tremisen, Tenez, and Elgazair, all which are Machometists.  But all the regions of Guinea are pure Gentiles, and idolatrous, without profession of any religion, or other knowledge of God, then by the law of nature.

Africa the great is one of the three parts of the world, knowen in old time, and seuered from Asia, on the East by the riuer Nilus, on the West from Europe by the pillars of Hercules.  The hither part is now called Barbarie, and the people Moores.  The inner part is called Lybia and Aethiopia.  Afrike the lesse is in this wise bounded:  On the West it hath Numidia; On the East Cyrenaica:  On the North, the sea called Mediterraneum.  In this countrey was the noble city of Carthage.

In the East side of Afrike beneath the red sea, dwelleth the great and mighty Emperour and Christian king Prester Iohn, well knowen to the Portugales in their voyages to Calicut.  His dominions reach very farre on euery side:  and hath vnder him many other Kings both christian and heathen that pay him tribute.  This mightie prince is called Dauid the Emperour of Aethiopia.  Some write that the king of Portugall sendeth him yeerely eight ships laden with marchandize.  His kingdom confineth with the red Sea, and reacheth far into Afrike toward Aegypt and Barbarie.  Southward it confineth with the Sea toward the Cape de Bona Speranza:  and on the other side with the sea of sand, called Mare de Sabione, a very dangerous sea lying between the great citie of Alcair, or Cairo in Aegypt, and the country of Aethiopia:  In the which way are many vnhabitable deserts, continuing for the space of fiue dayes iourney.  And they affirme, that if the sayd Christian Emperour were not hindered by those deserts (in the which is great lacke of victuals, and especially of water) he would or now haue inuaded the kingdom of Egypt, and the citie of Alcair.  The chiefe city of Ethiopia, where this great emperor is resident, is called Amacaiz,
