The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Voyage to Abyssinia by Father Lobo: forty leagues distant from Pate, on board which I put some

to its own king; these petty monarchies are so numerous, that I
counted at least ten in less than four leagues.
