Summary

Description
English: The method of transporting women in public on stretchers: likewise chariots driven by the wind are carried on dry ground.

The women of the middle state in China are said to be sitting in a public place on splendidly draped chairs, the passers-by may rightly seen by them, but they can never be seen by the passers-by.

There are also cars in China fitted with wheels and sails with so much skill, that it is driven by a flat field driven by moderately blowing winds, which is indeed the most pleasant and convenient sight.

Modus mulieres per publicum in lecticis deportandi : item currus qui vento acti per siccum feruntur.

Ulieres in China status medij feruntur per publicum sedentes in sellis splendide obuelatis, ipsa pratereuntes recte contueri, a pratereuntibus vero nusqua conspici possunt.

Sunt praterea in China currus rotis & velis apti tanto cum artificio, ut per planitiem campinullo impellente agantur ventis mediocriter spirantibus quod sane spectaculum & amoenissimum & commodissimumest.
