[The natural Strength of this Kingdom] This Kingdom of Conde Uda is strongly fortified by Nature.

For which way soever you enter into it, you must ascend vast and high mountains, and descend little or nothing.

The wayes are many, but are many, but very narrow, so that but one can go abreast.

The Hills are covered with Wood and great Rocks, so that 'tis scarce possible to get up any where, but onely in the paths, in all which there are gates made of Thorns; the one at the bottom, the other at the top of the Hills, and two or three men always set to watch, who are to examine all that come and go, and see what they carry, that Letters may not be conveyed, nor Prisoners or other Slaves run away.

These Watches, in case of opposition, are to call out to the Towns near, who are to assist them.
