        It is recorded of a certaine Indian,
        that was of such dexteritie in throwing of a
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac285"/>
        dart, that he could cast it a great way off tho-
        rough a ring of small compasse. Wherefore
        when he was commanded by king Alexander
        to shew his cunning before him, hee could
        not by anie meanes be perswaded to doe it.
        For the which cause hee was condemned by
        the kings sentence to die. And beeing asked
        wherefore he would not do so small a matter
        for the kings pleasure, answered, that hee fea-
        red least hee should happilie misse of his vsu-
        all custome of throwing. When Alexander
        sawe that he did it, not so much for rebellion
        as for feare and shame, hee commanded the
        condemned man to be set at libertie, wonde-
        ring at his disposition, which was verie desi-
        rous of glorie, desiring rather to die than to
        diminish or discredit the fame and excellen-
        cie of his knowledge and cunning.
