IT

(
right
honourable
and
mine
especiall
good
Lorde
)
engraffed
in
noble
personages
hartes
,
much
approued
and
confirmed
also
by
custome
,
for
them
to
séeke
from
time
to
time
,
by
some
meanes
in
their
life
,
by
the
which
,
they
after
their
death
,
might
deliuer
ouer
their
name
to
their
posteritie
:
least
otherwise
with
their
body
,
their
fame
also
altogether
might
perchaunce
be
buried
.
Vpon
the
which
consideration
we
read
many
notable
,
and
famous
thinges
to
haue
bene
erected
in
time
past
of
noble
personages
(
hauing
had
wealth
at
will
)
in
such
sort
,
that
not
onely
certain
ruines
of
the
same
sumptuous
workes
builded
so
many
hundred
yeares
past
,
doe
still
remaine
,
but
also
the
most
part
of
those
princes
the
authors
of
them
,
do
continually
by
them
dwell
in
our
memoryes
.
As
the
Pyramides
made
at
Memphis
,
or
neare
the
famous
Riuer
of
Nilus
,
by
the
great
expences
of
the
Kings
of
Egypt
:
the
Tower
called
Pharia
,
made
in
the
Iland
of
Pharos
by
King
Ptolomee
:
the
walles
of
Babylon
,
made
or
at
the
least
réedified
by
Quéene
Semiramis
:
Dianas
Church
at
Ephesus
builded
by
all
the
noble
persons
of
Asia
:
Mausolus
Toome
or
Sepulcher
,
made
by
his
wife
Quéen
of
Caria
:
Colossus
Solis
placed
at
Rhodes
,
I
remember
not
by
what
Princes
charge
,
but
made
by
the
handes
of
Cares
Lindius
scholler
to
Lysippus
:
and
the
Image
of
Iupiter
,
made
of
Yuerye
by
the
handes
of
the
skilfull
workeman
Phydias
.
The
which
monumentes
made
of
barbarous
and
heathen
Princes
to
redéeme
them selues
from
obliuion
,
deserued
both
for
the
magnificence
,
and
perfecte
workmanship
of
the
same
,
to
be
accompled
in
those
dayes
as
the
7.
wonders
of
the
world
.
Since
the
which
time
,
an
easier
,
readier
,
and
lighter
way
,
being
also
of
more
continuance
then
the
former
,
hath
ben
found
out
,
namely
,
Letters
,
which
were
first
inuented
by
the
Caldies
and
Egyptians
,
as
we
read
,
and
augmented
since
by
others
,
to
our
great
benefite
,
and
now
last
of
all
(
no
long
time
past
)
the
same
to
haue
bene
committed
to
Printers
Presses
,
to
the
greatest
perfection
of
the
same
:
men
being
first
enforced
to
write
their
actes
and
monumentes
in
beastes
skinnes
dryed
,
in
barkes
of
trées
,
or
otherwise
perchaunce
as
vnreadily
.
By
the
which
benefite
of
Letters
(
now
reduced
into
Print
)
we
sée
how
easie
a
thing
it
is
,
and
hath
bene
for
noble
persons
,
to
liue
for
euer
by
the
helpe
of
learned
men
.
For
the
memorye
of
those
two
worthy
and
valiaunt
Captaines
Scipio
and
Hannibal
had
bene
long
before
this
present
quite
forgotten
,
except
Titus
Liuius
,
or
some
such
learned
Historiographer
had
written
of
them
in
time
.
And
Alexander
Magnus
him selfe
that
great
conquerour
had
nothing
bene
spoken
of
,
had
not
Q.
Curtius
,
or
some
other
like
by
his
learned
stile
reuiued
the
remembraunce
of
him
,
and
called
backe
againe
his
doinges
to
his
posteritie
.
For
the
which
cause
we
sée
commonly
in
all
ages
learned
men
to
be
much
made
of
by
noble
personages
,
as
that
rare
paterne
of
learning
Aristotle
,
to
haue
bene
greatly
honoured
of
that
former
renowmed
Monarche
Alexander
:
who
affirmed
openly
,
that
he
was
more
bound
to
his
Maister
Aristotle
,
then
to
King
Philip
his
father
,
because
the
one
had
well
framed
his
minde
,
the
other
onely
his
body
.
Many
other
like
examples
I
could
alledge
at
this
present
,
if
I
knew
not
vnto
whom
I
now
wrote
,
or
in
what
.
For
your
honour
being
skilfull
in
histories
,
and
so
familiarly
acquainted
with
the
matter
it selfe
,
that
is
in
still
intertaining
learned
men
with
all
courtesie
,
I
should
seeme
to
light
a
candle
at
noone
tyde
,
to
put
you
in
remembrance
of
the
one
,
or
to
exhort
you
to
do
the
other
,
dayly
being
accustomed
to
performe
the
same
.
Crassus
sayth
in
Tullies
first
booke
,
De
Oratore
:
that
a
Lawyers
house
is
the
Oracle
of
the
whole
Citie
.
But
I
can
iustly
witnesse
,
that
for
these
5.
yeares
last
past
,
since
my
returne
from
my
trauell
beyond
the
seas
,
that
your
Lordships
lodging
in
the
Court
(
where
I
through
your
vndeserued
goodnesse
to
my
great
comfort
do
dayly
frequent
)
hath
bene
a
continuall
receptacle
or
harbour
for
all
learned
men
comming
from
both
the
eyes
of
this
Realme
,
Cambridge
,
and
Oxforde
(
of
the
which
Vniuersitie
your
Lordship
is
Chauncellor
)
to
their
great
satisfaction
of
minde
,
and
ready
dispatch
of
their
sutes
.
Especially
for
Preachers
and
Ministers
of
true
Religion
:
of
the
which
you
haue
bene
from
time
to
time
not
onely
a
great
fauourer
,
but
an
earnest
furtherer
,
and
protector
:
so
that
these
two
nurseries
of
learning
(
in
one
of
the
which
I
haue
before
this
spent
part
of
my
time
,
that
I
may
speake
boldly
what
I
thinke
)
should
wrong
your
honour
greatly
,
and
much
forget
them selues
,
if
by
all
meanes
possible
they
should
not
héerafter
(
as
at
this
present
to
their
small
powers
many
well
learned
gentlemen
of
them
do
)
labour
and
trauell
in
shewing
of
them selues
thankfull
,
to
reuerence
and
honour
your
Lordship
,
and
honest
their
owne
names
:
whose
studies
certainly
would
sodainly
decay
and
fall
flat
,
if
they
were
not
helde
vp
by
such
noble
proppes
,
and
had
not
some
sure
anckerholdes
in
their
distresse
to
leane
vnto
.
How
ready
dayly
your
trauell
is
,
and
hath
long
bene
besides
to
benefite
all
other
persons
,
in
whom
any
sparke
of
vertue
or
honestie
remaineth
,
I
néede
not
labour
to
expresse
,
the
world
knowing
already
the
same
.
But
whosoeuer
they
be
,
that
in
all
their
life
time
haue
an
especiall
care
by
all
meanes
to
profite
as
many
as
they
be
able
and
hurt
none
,
do
not
onely
a
laudable
acte
,
but
lead
a
perfecte
and
very
godly
life
.
Wherupon
Strabo
affirmeth
this
most
truely
to
be
spoken
of
them
:
Mortales
tum
demum
Deos
imitari
,
cum
benifici
fuerint
.
Great
commendation
vndoubtedly
it
bringeth
to
any
noble
personage
,
that
as
the
Moone
,
that
light
and
brightnes
which
she
receaueth
of
the
Sunne
,
is
wont
presently
to
spread
abroad
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
to
the
refreshing
and
comforting
of
all
inferiour
and
naturall
thinges
bearing
life
:
so
for
him
,
to
bestow
all
that
fauour
and
credite
,
which
he
hath
gotten
at
the
Princes
handes
,
to
the
helpe
and
reliefe
of
the
worthy
and
néedy
.
Great
is
the
force
(
my
right
honourable
Lorde
)
of
true
Vertue
,
which
causeth
them
as
Tully
writeth
in
his
booke
De
Amicitia
,
to
be
loued
and
honoured
oft
of
those
persons
,
which
neuer
sawe
them
.
Whereof
I
neuer
had
better
proofe
(
I
take
God
and
mine
owne
conscience
to
witnesse
,
the
which
I
declared
also
to
certaine
of
my
frendes
as
soone
as
I
returned
)
then
at
my
last
being
at
Constantinople
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord.
1564.
wheras
I
ofte
resorting
(
as
occasion
serued
)
to
the
right
honourable
Christian
Ambassadors
,
whilest
I
made
my
abode
there
(
namely
vnto
Monseur
Antonio
Petrimol
,
léegger
there
for
the
King
of
Fraunce
,
Sig.
M.
Victor
Bragadino
,
for
the
Segniorye
of
Venice
,
Sig.
Lorenzo
Giustiniano
,
for
the
state
of
Scio
,
or
Chios
,
and
Sig.
Albertacio
delli
Alberti
,
for
the
Duke
of
Florence
)
heard
them
often
report
and
speake
very
honourably
of
your
Lordship
,
partly
for
your
other
good
inclinations
of
nature
,
but
especially
for
your
liberalitie
,
and
courteous
intreating
of
diuers
of
their
frendes
and
countreymen
,
which
vpon
sundry
occasions
had
bene
here
in
this
our
Realme
.
So
that
to
conclude
,
all
men
iustly
fauour
your
honourable
dealinges
and
desertes
:
and
I
for
my
part
haue
reuerenced
and
honoured
the
same
euermore
both
here
at
home
,
&
elswhere
abroad
,
wishing
often
to
haue
had
some
iust
occasion
to
pay
part
of
that
in
good
will
,
which
my
slender
abilitie
wil
neuer
suffer
me
fully
to
discharge
.
For
vnto
whom
should
I
sooner
present
any
thing
any
way
,
especially
concerning
matters
done
abroad
,
then
vnto
your
Lordship
,
by
whom
I
was
much
cherished
abroad
in
my
trauell
,
and
maintained
since
my
returne
here
at
home
?
For
that
which
cause
I
haue
enterprised
(
hoping
greatly
of
your
Lordships
fauour
herein
)
to
clothe
and
set
forth
a
few
Italian
Newes
in
our
Englishe
attyre
,
being
first
moued
therunto
by
the
right
worshipfull
Maister
D.
Wilson
Maister
of
her
Maiesties
Requests
,
your
honors
assured
trusty
frend
,
a
great
and
painfull
furtherer
of
learning
,
whom
I
,
and
many
other
for
diuers
respectes
ought
to
reuerence
:
who
remembring
that
I
had
bene
at
Cyprus
,
was
willing
that
my
penne
should
trauell
about
the
Christian
&
Turkishe
affayres
,
which
there
lately
haue
happened
:
perswading
him selfe
,
that
somewhat
therby
I
might
benefite
this
our
natiue
countrey
.
Against
whose
reasonable
motion
I
could
not
greatly
wrastle
,
hazarding
rather
my
slender
skill
in
attempting
&
perfourming
this
his
requested
taske
,
then
he
through
my
refusall
thereof
should
séeme
to
want
any
iotte
of
my
good
will
.
In
offering
vp
the
which
newes
,
although
I
shall
present
no
new
thing
to
your
honour
,
because
you
are
so
well
acquainted
with
the
Italian
copy
,
as
I
know
:
yet
I
trust
your
Lordship
will
not
mislike
,
that
the
same
which
is
both
pleasant
to
read
,
and
so
necessary
to
be
knowen
for
diuers
of
our
Captaines
and
other
our
countreymen
,
which
are
ignoraunt
in
the
Italian
toung
,
may
thus
now
shewe
it selfe
abroad
,
couered
vnder
the
wing
of
your
Lordships
protection
.
Certainly
it
moueth
me
much
to
remember
the
losse
of
those
3.
notable
Ilands
,
to
the
great
discomfort
of
all
Christendome
,
to
those
Hellish
Turkes
,
Horseleches
of
Christian
bloud
:
namely
Rhodes
beséeged
on
S.
Iohn
Baptist
day
,
and
taken
on
S.
Iohns
day
the
Euangelist
,
being
the
27.
of
December
.
1522.
Scio
or
Chios
being
lost
since
my
being
there
,
taken
of
Piali
Bassà
with
80.
Gallies
,
the
17.
of
Aprill
.
1566.
And
now
last
of
all
not
onely
Famagosta
the
chéefe
holde
and
fortresse
in
Cyprus
to
haue
bene
lost
of
the
Venetians
the
15.
of
August
last
past
.
1571.
(
the
chéefe
Gouernours
and
Captaines
of
them
being
hewen
in
sunder
by
the
commaundement
of
that
tyraunt
Mustafà
Bassà
)
but
all
the
whole
Iland
also
to
be
conquered
by
those
cruell
Turkes
,
auncient
professed
enemies
to
all
Christian
Religion
.
In
the
which
euill
successe
(
comming
to
vs
as
I
take
it
for
our
offences
)
as
I
lament
the
generall
losse
:
so
I
am
surely
pensiue
to
vnderstand
by
this
too
true
a
report
of
the
vile
death
of
2.
particular
noble
gentlemen
of
Venice
,
Sig.
M.
Lorenzo
Tiepolo
,
&
Sig.
M.
Giouanni
Antonio
Querini
:
of
both
the
which
I
in
my
trauel
was
very
courteously
vsed
,
the
former
of
them
being
then
(
as
now
also
he
was
in
this
ouerthrow
)
Gouernour
of
Baffo
in
Cyprus
,
the
other
Captaine
of
one
of
the
Castels
at
Corsyra
in
Grece
,
now
called
Corfu
.
But
thinges
past
,
are
past
amendment
,
and
they
could
neuer
die
more
honourably
,
then
in
the
defence
of
their
countrey
.
Besides
that
the
late
blowes
,
which
the
Turkes
haue
receaued
since
this
their
fury
,
in
token
of
Gods
wrath
against
them
,
much
comforteth
euery
Christian
hart
.
Moreouer
this
vniforme
preparation
which
is
certainly
concluded
,
and
forthwith
looked
for
,
by
very
many
Christian
Princes
(
would
God
by
all
generally
)
against
these
barborous
Mahometistes
:
whose
crueltie
and
beastly
behauour
I
partly
know
,
and
am
able
to
iudge
of
,
hauing
bene
in
Turkye
amongest
them
more
then
8.
monethes
together
.
Whose
vnfaythfulnes
also
and
breach
of
promisse
,
as
the
Venetians
manly
courage
in
defence
of
them selues
,
and
their
fortresse
,
your
honour
may
easily
read
in
this
short
treatise
and
small
handfull
of
leaues
,
I
hauing
set
downe
also
a
short
description
of
the
Iland
of
Cyprus
,
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
whole
matter
.
The
which
I
not
onely
most
humbly
beséeche
your
honour
now
fauourably
to
accept
as
an
earnest
penny
of
more
to
come
,
and
of
my
present
good
will
:
but
with
your
accustomed
goodnesse
towardes
me
,
to
defend
the
same
against
such
persons
,
whose
tounges
too
readily
role
sometime
against
other
mens
painfull
trauells
,
perswading
them selues
to
purchase
the
sooner
some
credite
of
learning
with
the
ruder
sort
,
by
controling
and
ouerdaintie
sifting
of
other
mens
laboured
taskes
.
For
I
know
in
all
ages
to
be
found
as
well
Basiliskes
,
as
Elephantes
.
Thus
nothing
doubting
of
your
readye
ayde
herein
,
as
I
assuredly
trust
of
your
honours
fauourable
acceptation
of
this
my
poore
present
,
wishing
long
life
with
the

A
breefe
description
of
the
Iland
of
Cyprus
:
by
the
which
not
onely
the
Venetians
title
why
they
haue
so
long
enioyed
it
,
but
also
the
Turkes
,
whereby
now
he
claimeth
it
,
may
plainly
appeare
.
THe
Iland
of
Cyprus
is
inuironed
with
diuers
seas
.
For
Westward
it
is
washed
with
the
sea
called
Pamphilium
:
Southward
,
with
the
Sea
Ægyptium
:
on
the
East
part
,
with
the
Sea
Syrium
:
and
Northward
,
with
the
Sea
called
Cilicium
.
The
which
Iland
in
time
past
had
diuers
names
:
called
once
Acamantis
,
as
Sabellicus
witnesseth
:
Philonides
maketh
mention
,
that
it
was
called
sometime
Cerasis
,
Xenagoras
writeth
,
that
it
was
named
Aspelia
,
Amathusa
,
and
Macaria
.
There
were
in
time
paste
15.
Cities
or
famous
Townes
in
it
,
but
now
very
fewe
,
amongst
the
which
Famagosta
is
the
cheefest
,
and
strongest
,
situated
by
the
Sea
side
.
There
is
also
Nicosia
,
which
was
wont
,
by
the
trafficke
of
Marchauntes
,
to
be
very
wealthy
:
besides
the
Citie
of
Baffo
,
Arnica
,
Saline
,
Limisso
,
Milopotomo
,
and
Episcopia
.
Timosthenes
affirmeth
,
that
this
Iland
in
compasse
is
400.
and
29.
miles
,
and
Arthemidorus
writeth
the
length
of
the
same
to
be
162.
miles
,
measuring
of
it
from
the
East
to
the
West
betwixt
two
promontories
named
Dimareta
&
Acamanta
.
This
Iland
is
thought
to
be
very
riche
,
abundant
of
Wine
,
Oyle
,
Grain
,
Pitch
,
Rosin
,
Allum
,
Salt
,
&
of
diuers
precious
stones
pleasant
,
profitable
,
&
necessary
for
mans
vse
,
&
much
frequented
of
Marchantes
of
Syria
,
vnto
the
which
it
lieth
very
neare
.
It
hath
bene
as
Plinie
writeth
,
ioyned
sometime
with
Syria
,
as
Sicilia
hath
bene
also
with
Italy
.
It
was
a
long
time
subiecte
vnto
the
Romaines
,
after
,
to
the
Persians
,
and
to
the
Souldan
of
Ægypt
.
And
last
of
all
the
Venetians
haue
enioyed
it
of
late
a
long
time
,
in
this
order
following
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lord.
1470.
Iohn
King
of
the
sayd
Iland
sonne
to
Ianus
of
Lusignian
had
by
Hellen
his
wife
,
which
was
of
the
Emperiall
house
of
Paleologus
one
daughter
onely
called
Charlotta
,
&
a
bastard
called
Iames
:
the
which
Iames
was
afterward
consecrated
Bishop
of
Nicosia
.
This
Charlotta
was
maried
first
to
the
King
of
Portingall
,
of
whom
he
had
no
issue
,
so
that
he
being
dead
,
Lewes
Duke
of
Sauoy
(
to
whom
she
was
the
second
time
maried
)
sonne
to
Lewes
the
second
of
that
name
(
vnto
whom
the
sayd
Iland
by
the
right
of
this
his
wife
Charlotta
did
appertaine
)
had
the
possession
of
the
same
.
Iames
the
bastard
as
soone
as
his
father
was
dead
,
of
a
Bishop
became
a
Soldier
,
and
with
an
army
wanne
the
Jland
,
making
it
his
owne
by
force
.
This
Duke
of
Sauoy
hearing
these
newes
,
with
a
number
of
well
appointed
soldiers
,
arriued
shortly
after
in
Cyprus
,
&
recouering
againe
the
Iland
,
compelled
the
Bastard
to
flye
forthwith
ouer
to
the
Souldan
of
Ægypt
.
Who
making
him selfe
his
subiecte
,
in
time
so
wrought
and
tempered
the
matter
,
that
the
Souldan
in
person
at
his
request
passed
ouer
into
Cyprus
,
beseeged
Duke
Lewes
in
the
Castell
of
Nicosia
,
&
at
length
compelled
him
to
depart
,
leauing
his
kingdome
.
So
that
this
Bishop
became
againe
King
of
this
Iland
:
who
shortly
after
cleauing
to
the
Venetians
hauing
made
a
league
of
frendship
with
them
,
maried
by
their
consent
one
Catherina
the
daughter
of
Marco
Cornaro
,
which
Catherine
the
Senate
of
Venice
adopted
vnto
them
soone
after
as
their
daughter
.
This
Bishop
not
long
after
sickned
,
&
died
,
leauing
this
his
wife
with
child
,
who
liued
not
long
after
his
fathers
death
.
By
the
which
meanes
the
Venetians
making
them selues
the
next
heires
to
Catherina
by
the
lawe
of
Adoption
,
tooke
vnto
them
the
possession
of
this
kingdome
,
and
haue
kept
,
and
enioyed
the
same
almost
this
100.
yeares
.
Now
this
great
Turke
called
Sultan
Selim
in
the
right
of
the
Souldan
of
Ægypt
,
whom
his
grandfather
(
called
also
Sultan
Selim
)
conquered
,
pretendeth
a
right
title
vnto
it
,
and
now
as
you
may
vnderstand
by
reading
of
this
short
treatise
hath
by
conquest
obtained
the
same
.
Whom
,
I
pray
the
euerliuing
God
,
if
it
be
his
holy
will
,
shortly
to
roote
out
from
thence
.
❧
To
the
Reader
.
I
Am
not
ignoraunt
(
gentle
Reader
)
how
hard
a
matter
it
is
for
any
one
man
to
write
that
,
which
should
please
and
satisfie
all
persons
,
we
being
commonly
of
so
diuers
opinions
and
contrary
iudgementes
:
againe
Tully
affirming
,
to
bee
a
very
difficult
thing
,
to
finde
out
any
matter
which
in
his
owne
kinde
may
be
in
all
respectes
perfecte
.
Wherefore
I
trust
by
your
own
iudgement
I
ought
of
reason
to
be
the
sooner
pardoned
(
my
translation
being
precisely
tyed
to
mine
authors
meaning
)
if
any
thieg
herein
besides
be
thought
to
be
wanting
:
I
hauing
learned
by
the
way
,
how
comberous
a
thing
it
is
,
to
turne
the
selfe
same
matter
out
of
the
Italian
language
into
our
countrey
speech
.
But
who
doth
what
he
possibly
can
,
is
bound
to
no
more
.
And
I
now
at
the
request
of
others
(
who
put
me
in
minde
,
that
I
was
not
onely
borne
vnto
my self
)
haue
accomplished
that
in
the
end
,
which
I
promised
&
was
required
.
With
what
paine
&
diligence
,
I
refer
me
to
them
which
are
skilfull
in
the
Italian
toung
,
or
may
the
better
iudge
,
if
it
please
them
to
trye
the
same
,
casting
a
side
this
exampler
.
I
speake
not
arrogantly
,
I
take
God
to
witnes
:
but
mens
painfull
trauels
ought
not
lightly
to
be
condemned
:
nor
surely
at
any
time
are
wont
to
be
of
the
learned
,
or
discrete
.
By
whose
gentle
acceptation
,
if
these
my
present
doinges
be
now
supported
,
I
will
perswade
my selfe
that
I
haue
reaped
sufficient
fruite
of
my
trauell
.
Vnto
whom
with
all
my
hart
I
wish
prosperous
successe
in
all
their
affaires
.

A
valiant
Knight
named
Foito

was
appointed

fewe
dayes

garison

deliuered

Three

footemen

one
of
them

chosen
out
of
the
armie
to
vse

execute

The

brought
forth
vnto

side

the
towne
,
where
the
battery
was
loked
for
to
be
made
:

they
made
priuie
fences

couer
the
better

Cannon
shot
withall
.
There
was
no
want
in
the
Christians
to
annoy
their
enemies
in
issuing
often
out
of
euery
side
against
them
,
as
well
to
hinder
their
determinations
,
as
to
hurt
them
otherwise
at
diuers
times

They
also
rendered

the
like

of
Famagosta

onely
with
their
Swordes
and
Targets
,
with
so
many
Italian
Harquebusers
also
in
their
company
,
receaued
great
dammage
,
because
the
trenches
of
the
enemies
were
made
about
so
thicke
,
although
at
the
same
present
we
compelled
them
to
flye
,
and
slewe
also
many
of
them
:
yet
they
encreased
to
such
number
,
that
they
killed
presently
30.
and
hurt
there
60.
of
our
company
.
For
the
which
cause
order
was
taken
,
that
our
men
should
no
more
come
forth
of
their
holde
,
committing
them selues
to

At

victuals
were

Bakon
:
all
the
which
thinges
were
brought
to
the
walles
as
neede
did
require
in
very
good
order
,
so
that
no

there
,
M.
Giouanni
Antonio
Querini
,
who
besides
this
his
ordinary
charge
was
found
present
in
all
waightie
and
daungerous
affaires
to
the
great
incouragement
of
our
soldiers
.
And
we
made
à
counterbattery
against
our
enemies
for
10.
dayes
space
,
with
so
great
rage
,
that
we
choked
and
destroyed
15.
of
their
best
peeces
,
also
we
killed
&
dispatched
of
them
about
30.
thousand
at
that
season
,
so
that
they
were
disapointed
at
that
time
of
their
battery
in
that
place
,
and
were
greatly
dismayed
.
But
we
foreseing
that
we
had
no
great
store
of
pouder
left
,
there
was
made
à
restraint
,
and
such
order
taken
,
that
30.
peeces
should
not
shoote
of
,
but
30.
shot
à
peece
euery
day
,
and
that
in
the
presence
of
the
Captaines
,
who
were
still
present
,
because
the
soldiers
and
Gunners
should
not
shoote
of
in
vaine
.
The
29.
of
May
there
came
towardes
vs
from
Candia
à
Fregat
or
Pinnisse
,
the
which
geuing
vs
great
hope
and
lightening
of
ayde
,
encreased
maruelously
euery
mans
courage
.
The
Turkes
with
great
trauell
and
slaughter
of
both
sides
,
had
wonne
at
the
last
the
Counterscharfe
from
vs
,
with
great
resistance
and
mortalitie
on
both
partes
.
Wherupon
they
began
on
the
other
side
of
the
fift
battery
to
fill
vp
the
ditch
,
with
the
earth
that
they
threwe
downe
,
which
was
taken
neare
the
wall
of
the
Counterscharfe
.
But
all
that
earth
and
falling
downe
of
the
wall
made
by
the
shot
of
their
artilary
,
was
caryed
away
of
vs
within
the
Citie
,
all
our
company
labouring
continually
as
well
by
night
as
day
,
vntill
our
enemies
had
made
certaine
loope
holes
in
the
wall
,
through
the
which
they
flancking
and
scouring
all
the
ditch
with
their
Harquebussie
,
stopped
our
former
course
of
carying
,
or
going
that
way
any
more
,
without
certaine
and
expresse
daunger
.
But
M.
Giouanni
Marmori
,
à
fortifier
,
had
deuised
à
certain
kinde
of
ioyned
boordes
,
the
which
being
caried
of
the
soldiers
,
defended
them
from
the
shot
of
the
Harquebusers
,
so
that
some
other
quantitie
of
earth
,
but
no
great
store
,
was
caried
also
away
:
in
the
which
place
this
foresayd
fortifier
was
slaine
,
who
had
done
especiall
good
seruice
in
all
our
necessary
affaires
.
And
our
enemies
hauing
cast
so
much
earth
into
the
ditch
,
as
filled
it
vp
againe
,
and
made
it
à
firme
way
to
the
wall
of
the
Counterscharfe
,
and
casting
before
them
the
earth
by
little
and
little
,
they
made
one
Trauerse
euen
vnto
the
wall
on
two
sides
in
all
their
batteries
,
the
which
they
made
thicke
and
stronge
with
Wolpackes
,
and
other
Fagots
,
to
assure
them selues
the
better
of
our
flanckers
.
When
they
had
once
possessed
the
ditch
,
that
they
coulde
not
bee
hurt
of
vs
but
by
chaunce
,
they
began
forthwith
to
cast
&
digge
out
vndermines
to
vndermine
the
Brey
,
the
Turret
of
S.
Nappa
,
the
Commaunder
of
Andruzzi
,
the
Keepe
of
Campo
Santo
,
the
Cortain
,
and
the
Turrion
of
the
Arsenall
:
so
that
we
being
able
no
longer
to
serue
our
turne
and
enioye
those
fewe
flanckers
,
we
threw
downe
wildefire
into
our
enemies
campe
,
the
which
annoyed
them
very
sore
,
because
it
fired
their
Wolpackes
,
and
also
their
Fagots
.
And
for
the
better
encouragement
of
the
soldiers
,
the
right
honourable
Bragadino
gaue
to
euery
soldier
one
Duckat
,
the
which
could
gaine
or
recouer
any
of
the
former
Wollpackes
,
making
countermines
in
all
places
.
To
that
which
charge
Maggio
the
fortifier
knight
was
appointed
,
who
in
all
our
busines
serued
with
such
diligence
and
courage
,
as
he
was
able
,
or
was
requisite
.
But
the
countermines
mette
not
,
sauing
those
of
the
Commaunder
of
S.
Nappa
,
of
Andruzzi
,
and
that
of
Campo
Santo
,
because
they
were
open
,
and
our
men
sallied
out
often
both
by
day
and
night
into
the
ditch
to
perceaue
better
the
way
of
the
mines
,
and
to
fire
the
Fagots
and
Wooll
.
Nor
we
ceassed
at
any
time
through
the
vnspeakeable
trauell
of
the
Lord
Baglione
(
who
had
the
ouersight
of
all

)
to

The

Assault
.
THe
21.
of

,
they
put
fire
to
the
mine
of
the
Turret
of

,
wheras
Giambelat

breaking
also
one

And
sodainly
à
great

of
the
Turkes
skipping
vpon

therof
,
displayed
their
Ensignes
,
euen
to
the

Captaine
Pietro

with
his
company
,
was
in
that
warde
,
the
which
was
much
shaken
and
terrified
by
that
sodaine
ruine
.
I
with
my
company
came
first
thether
,
so
that
they
shortly
tooke
the
repulse
,
and
although
they
refreshed
them selues
with
new
supplyes
5.
or
6.
times
,
yet
they
failed
of
their
purpose
.
M.
Gio.
Antonio
Querini
(
who
was
afterward
hewen
in
sunder
by
the
commaundement
of
Mustafà
)
I
was
entertained
very
courteously
in
my

at

,
now
called
Corfù
,
he
being
then
there
Mag.
Castellano
or

There
fought

Bragadino
and
Querini
being
armed
,
stoode
not
farre
of
to
refresh

comfort
our

,
and
the
Captaine
of
the

with
the
Ordinance
,
that
was
planted
vpon

Buttereis
,
destroyed
many
of
our

,
when
they
gaue
the
assault
,
the
which
endured
5.
houres
together
:
so
that

Turkes
were
slain
very
many
,
and
of
our

betwixt
them
that
were
slaine
and
hurt
à
100
:
Most
part
of
the

number
were
cast
away
by
à
mischaunce
of
our
wildefire
,
the
which
being
vnaduisedly
&
negligently
handled
,
burnt

.
There
died

The
night
following
arriued
in
Cyprus
à

,
which
bringing
newes
of
most
certaine
ayde
,
greatly
encreased
both
the
mirth
and
courage
of
vs
all
,
so
that
we
made
soone
after
,
with
the
helpe
of
the
Captaine
Marco
Criuellatore
,
and
Maggio
the
knight
,
certaine
retreates
flancked

with
Hogsheades

Sackes
stuffed

(
the

¶
The

Assault
.
THe
29.
of
the

,
they
set
the
mine
made
towardes
the

on
fire
,
the
which
mine
was
digged
in
stone
,
which
brake
and
cleft
all
thinges
in
peeces
,
and
caused
great
ruine
,
making
an
easie
way
for
the
enemye
to
assault
vs
,
who
with
an
outragious
fury
came
to
the
toppe
,
whereas

was
altogether
present
,
Hercole

¶
The
third
Assault
.
TO
the
sayd
Brey
the
9.
of
Iuly
,
they
gaue
the
third
assault
,
to
the
Turrion
of
Santa
Nappa
,
to
that
of
Andruzzi
,
to
the
Cortaine
,
to
the
Keepe
of
the
Arsenall
:
the
which
assault
hauing
continued
more
then
6.
houres
,
they
were
beaten
backe
in
4.
places
,
but
we
left
the
Brey
to
their
great
losse
,
and
ours
also
:
because
we
being
assaulted
,
our
company
being
not
able
to
manneage
their
Pikes
in
good
order
,
by
reason
of
the
narrownes
of
the
standing
where
they
were
,
being
willing
to
retyre
in
that
order
,
as
the
L.
Baglione
had
prescribed
vnto
them
,
and
could
not
,
cast
them selues
at
the
last
into
à
confuse
order
,
and
retyred
,
they
being
mingled
amongest
the
Turkes
:
so
that
fire
being
geuen
to
our
mine
,
the
which
(
with
à
terrible
sight
to
beholde
)
slewe
presently
of
our
enemies
more
then
à
1000.
and
aboue
à
100.
of
vs
.
There
dyed
Captaine
Roberto
Maluezzi
,
and
Captaine
Marchetto
da
Fermo
was
greuously
wounded
.
At
the
assault
of
the
Arsenall
dyed
Captaine
Dauid
Noce
master
of
the
Campe
,
and
I
my selfe
was
hurt
by
the
racing
of
à
Cannon
shot
.
This
assault
continued
fiue
houres
,
and
the
Citizens
of
Famagosta
shewed
great
courage
in
euery
place
,
with
their
women
also
,
and
young
striplinges
.
The
Brey
was
so
defaced
by
reason
of
this
mine
set
on
fire
,
that
no
body
any
more
attempted
to
recouer
the
same
:
because
there
was
no
apt
place
remayning
to
stay
vpon
.
The
left
flancker
onely
remained
still
,
whereas
an
other
mine
was
made
.
The
gate
of
Limisso
was
ouer
against
this
foresayd
Brey
,
&
somewhat
lower
,
which
was
alwayes
open
,
hauing
made
to
the
same
à
Portall
,
with
à
Percollois
annexed
to
it
,
the
which
Percollois
by
the
cutting
of
à
small
corde
,
was
à
present
defence
to
the
gate
,
and
our
soldiers
gaue
their
attendance
by
that
gate
to
bring
in
the
battered
earth
,
which
fell
in
the
ditches
from
the
rampayre
:
and
when
they
saw
that
their
enemies
in
4.
dayes
came
not
thether
,
they
began
to
entrench
aboue
the
Brey
,
and
by
the
flanckers
aboue
they
suffered
no
person
to
passe
out
of
the
gate
,
the
which
thing
brought
great
suspition
vnto
our
enemyes
,
because
they
were
oft
times
assailed
of
our
company
.
¶
The
fourth
Assault
.
WHerefore
they
came
the
14.
day
of
Iuly
to
assault

of
Limisso
,
and

all
other
places

wonne
an
Auncient

violently
out

The
day
following
they
gaue
fire
to
the
mine
of
the
Cortaine
,
the
which
thing
not
falling
out
greatly
to
their
purpose
,
they
followed
not
their
prepared
assault
.
Wherefore
they
began
to
fortifie

and
aduaunce
hyer
their
Trauerses
in

,
for
their
better
assuraunce
against

emptied

caryed
away
all

neare
vnto
the
Counterscharfe
,
where
they
lodged
in
their
pauilions
,
so
that
we
could
not
descrie

They
shot
7.

And
they

vnder

they
brought

And

The
reason

why
there

many

was
because

much
more
wealthy

riche
