    quotation
    Or auoit le Pere Alexandre mené avec soy des Indes vn valet More, auſſi noir que ſont les Ethiopiens de la Guinee, mais natif du Mozambic, & de ceux qu'on nomme proprement Cafres, habitans vers le Cap de Bonne eſperace. Soudain qu'il fut arriué chez nous, toute le ville courut pour le voir. Le Pere Organtin le mena a Nobunanga, qui luy fit grand feſte, & ne pouuoit croire que ceſte couleur fut naturelle, ains tenoit qu'on l'auoit fait ainſi peindre pour plaiſir. Mais apres l'auoir fait deſpoüiller tout nud iuſques à la ceinture, & mieux examiné le tout, il recogneut la vérité, puis aſſisgna iour au Pere Alexandre pour l'entretenir. (Middle French)
