Sir
Thomas
Sherley
his
Trauailes
,
together
with
his
three
yeares
imprisonment
in
Turkie
,
his
Inlargement
by
his
Maiesties
Letters
to
the
great
Turke
:
and
lastly
,
his
safe
returne
into
England
this
present
yeare
,
1607.
IT
is
a
naturall
qualitie
,
both
customarie
,
&
commendable
in
all
Countries
,
to
enlarge
their
fames
,
by
divulging
the
memorable
Actes
of
such
worthy
personages
,
whose
Noble
Spirits
,
showne
by
their
honourable
attempts
and
atchieuements
,
haue
drawne
other
Nations
into
admiration
of
their
valours
,
and
emulation
of
their
vertues
.
It
were
then
a
fault
vnpardonable
in
vs
of
the
English
Nation
(
whose
acts
and
high
attempts
haue
not
giuen
place
to
any
people
)
to
burie
in
obliuion
the
vertues
of
those
our
country
Men
,
whose
noble
deedes
deserue
for
euer
to
liue
vpon
the
tongues
of
men
,
with
honorable
mention
.
Amongst
whom
,
the
Three
Heroes
of
our
Time
,
the
hopefull
issue
of
a
happy
father
,
haue
so
glorified
their
names
by
their
honourable
Actes
,
and
hostile
imployments
,
against
the
common
Enemie
of
Christendome
:
that
honour
by
them
hath
added
to
her
glory
,
and
Enuy
lost
the
sting
of
her
Detraction
.
And
here
am
I
drawne
into
a
deepe
meditation
of
the
Minde
of
man
how
infinite
it
is
in
opinion
,
and
weening
,
and
vnquiet
by
Nature
:
that
where
it
is
once
set
vpon
the
desire
of
honour
,
nothing
can
stay
,
or
limite
her
aduentures
:
But
as
the
Clowds
are
harried
by
the
windes
from
one
part
of
the
Hemispheare
to
the
other
,
so
the
Body
is
carried
by
the
Minde
,
euen
through
the
world
,
by
land
,
by
sea
,
with
toyle
and
danger
,
making
it
to
suffer
hunger
,
watching
,
and
cold
;
where
at
home
,
it
might
slepe
with
peace
,
and
feed
with
plenty
.
The
manifestation
wherof
,
is
knowne
in
the
tedious
Trauailes
,
&
dangerous
Aduentures
of
these
three
excellent
spirits
,
that
hauing
no
other
Motiues
,
but
the
honourable
desire
and
pursuit
of
Glorie
(
which
indeedeis
the
Spurre
to
euery
noble
minde
)
haue
iustly
by
their
deserts
obtained
her
,
both
for
themselues
,
and
for
their
Countrie
:
whose
fame
and
renown
,
being
by
them
made
known
,
me
thinkes
they
were
vnkindly
vsed
by
vs
,
to
be
made
strangers
here
at
home
.
Hauing
therefore
receiued
some
particulars
of
their
trauels
,
and
their
Occurrents
in
them
,
though
(
I
must
confesse
.
I
am
but
lame
as
well
in
the
instructions
of
their
Aduentures
,
as
also
in
mine
owne
worth
,
to
display
their
worthinesse
;
I
haue
neuertherlesse
attempted
,
though
not
to
satisfie
,
yet
in
some
sort
to
make
knowne
to
expectation
(
which
euer
gapes
after
Nouelties
,
)
their
variable
fortunes
,
and
honorable
imploiments
in
strange
Countries
,
and
vnder
great
Kings
,
so
farre
as
my
knowledge
of
them
,
and
hability
in
my selfe
,
will
giue
me
leaue
.
And
first
to
begin
with
Sir
Thomas
Sherley
the
yonger
,
who
as
hee
was
eldest
by
the
Fortune
of
his
birth
,
so
is
he
not
inferiour
to
the
rest
in
the
commendable
parts
,
and
honorable
qualities
of
his
minde
;
though
happily
not
so
succesfull
in
his
Trauels
,
as
his
other
brethren
:
Hee
began
his
last
voyage
in
Anno
1602.
who
hauing
long
time
kept
the
Seas
vnprosperously
,
and
with
vnequall
fortune
to
his
hopes
and
deseruings
at
length
landed
in
Italie
,
and
was
for
a
time
highly
respected
in
the
Duke
of
Florence
his
Court
,
where
hee
carried
himselfe
in
that
honourable
port
as
became
both
a
Souldier
and
a
Courtier
,
in
all
those
commendable
qualities
that
serue
both
for
vse
and
ornament
.
But
to
stay
there
long
,
was
no
life
for
him
:
the
State
beeing
setled
,
and
no
imployments
forraine
,
or
domesticall
,
fit
for
the
leuell
of
his
thoughts
and
purposes
;
which
ayming
at
a
higher
proiect
,
grew
soone
weary
of
the
pleasures
of
Italie
.
Which
the
Duke
perceiuing
,
and
knowing
the
wants
that
his
long
vayage
by
Sea
had
before
bronght
vpon
him
,
did
honourably
furnish
him
with
such
necessaries
,
as
for
his
purposed
imployments
did
fully
satisfie
his
longing
expectation
.
Beeing
thus
once
more
at
Sea
,
full
of
hope
and
courage
,
he
lay
houering
too
,
and
againe
a
long
time
vpon
the
Straites
of
Giblater
,
in
a
continuall
expectation
of
some
purchase
or
other
,
to
satisfie
the
desires
both
of
himselfe
,
and
of
his
company
.
In
whom
of
late
hee
found
a
strange
alteration
,
both
in
their
countenances
,
and
behauiours
towards
him
,
sauouring
of
Discontent
(
the
dangerous
disturber
of
any
setled
state
)
whether
it
was
deriued
from
a
despaire
they
had
of
the
successe
of
the
voyage
,
or
from
a
desire
of
returne
to
England
,
I
know
not
;
but
afterwards
it
turned
to
a
mutinous
reuolt
.
He
first
perswaded
them
with
faire
words
of
hope
and
comfort
,
and
afterwards
for
the
time
appeased
them
;
by
applying
himselfe
in
many
things
to
their
humors
:
but
as
fire
cannot
be
hidde
,
whose
smoke
betraies
it
,
so
this
poison
of
their
minds
and
intents
,
could
not
bee
long
contained
,
but
at
last
it
brake
out
into
an
vlcerous
falshood
,
and
mischiefe
which
occasion
afterwards
did
thus
reueale
.
Sir
Thomas
hauing
spent
some
time
,
and
much
part
of
his
victualls
in
the
Straits
,
and
doubting
of
successe
to
satisfie
the
greedy
hopes
,
and
vngorg'd
desires
of
his
company
,
and
fearing
least
through
idlenes
hee
might
adde
more
matter
to
their
mutinous
mindes
,
hauing
three
Shippes
,
and
fiue
hundreth
men
,
held
on
his
course
towards
Turkie
.
In
the
mouth
of
the
Straits
hee
met
with
a
great
Hulke
,
and
(
hauing
cause
giuen
)
fought
with
her
a
long
time
before
hee
could
come
to
boarde
her
,
and
afterwards
fought
8.
houres
aboard
,
before
he
could
take
her
.
In
this
fight
hee
lost
aboue
an
hundreth
of
his
owne
men
,
besides
those
that
were
hurt
and
maymed
:
and
when
all
his
cardes
were
told
,
hee
found
that
the
gaine
did
not
answere
the
losse
hee
had
sustained
.
Thus
the
hopes
of
his
company
being
frustrate
,
and
failing
of
their
expectation
,
are
readie
vpon
the
least
cause
to
turne
the
nature
of
commaund
into
contempt
,
wherof
at
that
time
some
of
his
company
gaue
an
ill
president
;
for
that
present
night
one
of
his
three
ships
forsooke
him
,
and
ranne
away
.
From
thence
with
his
two
bigger
shippes
he
went
to
Legorne
,
where
he
stayed
eight
dayes
,
as
well
to
refresh
his
hurt
men
,
and
to
furnish
himselfe
of
fresh
water
and
victuals
,
which
hee
then
wanted
;
as
also
to
receiue
directions
from
the
Duke
of
Tuscan
,
during
which
time
diuers
Marchants
corrupted
his
men
and
made
them
mutinous
,
alleaging
that
the
course
hee
tooke
was
indirect
,
and
dangerous
,
his
plots
shallow
and
vnlikely
to
succeed
,
&
that
he
faild
of
warrant
and
authoritie
for
his
proceedings
.
Thus
the
matter
of
their
mutinie
being
set
on
fire
,
which
burnt
vp
all
dutie
in
them
,
possessing
them
with
nothing
but
a
neglect
of
obedience
,
which
in
their
lookes
,
wordes
,
and
behauiours
was
soone
made
knowne
.
Sir
Thomas
being
much
perplext
in
minde
through
this
vnnaturall
reuolt
of
his
men
,
and
vsing
all
meanes
he
could
to
appease
them
,
with
much
care
and
discomfort
tooke
sea
againe
.
But
the
third
night
after
when
hee
came
within
kenne
of
Capaslera
,
a
Towne
in
the
Island
of
Scicilia
,
one
Peacocke
an
English
Pilot
,
whome
not
long
before
hee
had
taken
in
at
Legorne
,
went
away
with
his
second
shippe
.
Of
Sir
Thomas
his
attempts
in
Turkie
,
and
the
trecherous
reuolt
of
the
rest
of
his
company
.
IT
is
the
nature
of
Fortune
seldome
times
to
bee
singular
either
in
her
frownes
or
fauours
,
but
that
one
is
commonly
heaped
on
the
necke
of
another
,
as
appeared
in
this
wayning
state
of
Sir
Thomas
his
hopes
,
for
the
next
morning
after
this
reuolt
of
Peacocke
,
a
like
part
was
plaid
euen
in
his
own
ship
,
for
the
most
part
of
his
men
begun
a
dangerous
mutiny
against
him
.
They
plainly
told
him
that
they
would
be
no
longer
vnder
his
command
,
and
did
absolutely
refuse
to
follow
the
courses
and
plots
that
hee
had
laid
,
alleadging
with
vnkind
wordes
&
vncomly
speeches
,
that
their
hopes
and
expectations
were
deceiued
of
him
,
that
he
was
both
vncircumspect
in
his
attempts
,
and
vnfortunate
in
his
actions
,
they
vtterly
dislike
his
intendments
,
refusing
to
heare
any
thing
that
might
sound
of
it
,
there
being
no
possibilitie
of
good
,
and
a
certaine
and
continuall
assurance
of
danger
;
lastly
they
protested
vnto
him
that
they
would
still
keepe
the
Sea
,
and
be
no
longer
restrained
of
their
owne
purposes
,
but
lay
hold
vpon
all
occasions
that
should
be
offered
to
inrich
themselues
,
and
satisfie
their
longing
hopes
Perfas
,
aut
nefas
,
by
any
meanes
whatsoeuer
.
Sir
Thomas
being
much
perplext
with
the
contempteous
&
vnruly
behauiour
of
his
men
in
his
own
ship
first
vsed
threats
&
menaces
besitting
his
place
&
command
:
but
the
mutinie
being
general
,
and
that
he
that
was
their
Generall
being
forsaken
and
left
alone
,
he
did
but
thereby
adde
fuel
vnto
that
fire
that
raged
so
fore
in
the
minds
and
tongues
of
his
mutinous
company
,
that
hee
was
inforc't
at
last
to
leaue
all
the
extent
of
the
authoritie
of
a
Commander
,
and
as
a
common
and
a
priuate
person
,
with
tongue
,
gesture
,
&
countenance
vnanswerable
to
his
mind
,
in
milde
tearmes
and
gentle
wordes
,
to
intreate
them
that
they
would
not
thus
dispise
and
forsake
him
,
whome
they
before
had
called
their
Captaine
,
and
their
Generall
,
and
had
vowed
to
follow
him
in
all
his
Fortunes
.
Let
not
(
quoth
hee
)
the
conceit
of
our
hard
successe
discourage
your
hopes
so
farre
,
as
to
make
a
desperate
account
both
of
your selues
and
mee
;
neither
suffer
the
remembrance
of
those
runagates
that
haue
so
trecherously
forsaken
mee
,
draw
you
on
to
doe
the
like
,
by
their
example
,
I
haue
made
choise
of
you
,
into
whose
handes
I
haue
committed
my
life
,
&
whatsoeueris
deere
vnto
me
.
Two
ships
I
haue
already
lost
,
not
by
the
vnsteadfast
fortunes
of
the
Sea
,
but
by
the
vnfaithfull
dealing
of
my
followers
:
I
haue
onely
this
one
left
me
,
and
you
in
it
,
in
whom
I
haue
hitherto
put
a
speciall
trust
;
wherein
it
you
likewise
deceiue
me
,
let
mee
not
liue
any
longer
,
lest
one
day
I
record
the
place
,
where
you
vnkindly
&
vnmanly
forsooke
,
&
betrayed
your
Captaine
:
We
haue
yet
a
liuing
hope
of
our
successe
,
which
if
you
kill
not
by
these
Mutinous
dissentions
,
may
yet
ere
long
inrich
your
expectations
:
for
mine
owne
part
,
I
shall
omit
nothing
that
may
doe
you
good
,
nor
doe
any
thing
vnfit
or
vnworthy
either
your
account
of
mee
,
or
mine
owne
reputation
.
His
men
nothing
satisfied
with
these
words
,
but
bearing
still
a
mutinous
and
rebellious
minde
against
their
Captaine
;
Sir
Thomas
in
doubt
what
to
doe
,
calles
before
him
the
Lieuetenant
,
the
Master
his
Mate
,
the
Master
gunner
,
and
other
principall
Officers
in
the
Ship
,
and
demaunded
of
them
,
whether
they
ioynd
in
minde
and
malice
with
the
company
against
him
:
They
answered
him
,
that
they
had
no
such
meaning
;
but
protested
vnto
him
,
they
were
willing
to
follow
him
,
and
obey
him
,
as
it
should
please
him
to
dispose
of
them
,
and
to
partake
with
him
in
all
his
Fortunes
.
Whereupon
Sir
Thomas
taking
aduantage
of
their
proffers
,
ioyned
with
them
in
the
perswasion
of
the
rest
:
and
so
for
the
time
the
mutinie
was
appeased
.
Sir
Thomas
to
keepe
his
company
still
imployed
,
directed
his
course
towards
Millo
,
with
a
purpose
to
haue
taken
an
English
Pirate
that
was
there
;
but
fowle
weather
&
contrary
winds
draue
him
to
Geo
:
where
he
found
a
Venetian
Ship
at
Anchor
:
and
here
againe
his
men
began
to
mutinie
,
and
hee
had
much
a
doe
to
keepe
them
from
spoyling
that
Ship
.
The
greedines
of
that
prey
,
and
the
ill
affection
they
had
to
make
triall
of
their
Fortunes
,
elsewhere
,
increased
their
mutinie
extreamely
;
which
with
much
adoe
,
was
once
againe
pacified
:
and
in
this
place
,
by
contrary
windes
,
he
was
forced
to
stay
eight
daies
.
And
to
diuert
their
humor
,
by
putting
Idlenesse
from
them
,
hee
attempted
the
surprizing
of
an
Island
belonging
to
the
Turke
,
which
was
not
farre
off
:
the
inhabitants
beeing
both
Turkes
and
Greekes
;
which
in
this
sort
was
managed
,
and
put
in
execution
.
The
15.
of
Ianuarie
1602.
Sir
Thomas
landed
one
hundred
of
his
men
betweene
3.
or
4.
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
the
Moone
beeing
at
full
,
and
shining
very
cleere
;
hee
diuided
them
into
two
squadrons
:
whereof
the
vanguard
was
commaunded
by
his
Lieutenant
,
and
hee
himselfe
lead
the
Rere
:
and
thus
they
marched
vp
towards
the
Towne
,
beeing
three
miles
distant
from
the
Sea
:
after
they
had
passed
thorough
a
plaine
,
which
was
about
a
Mile
in
length
,
they
came
to
a
crooked
rocke
,
through
the
which
,
there
was
a
way
cut
so
narrow
,
that
not
aboue
two
men
could
march
afronte
.
Hauing
passed
the
rocke
without
any
interruption
,
they
came
to
a
hill
,
which
was
very
high
&
steepe
,
and
hauing
recouered
the
toppe
thereof
,
they
saw
the
Towne
,
and
were
soone
masters
thereof
,
it
beeing
a
place
vndefencible
:
and
suddainly
abandoned
of
the
inhabitants
,
who
fled
into
the
woods
and
rockes
,
and
other
places
vnpassable
.
Here
he
gaue
charge
vpon
paine
of
death
,
that
no
Souldier
of
his
company
should
touch
the
person
or
goods
of
any
Christian
;
but
that
needed
not
,
for
they
had
carried
all
their
goods
with
them
,
leauing
naught
behind
,
but
their
naked
and
empty
houses
.
Being
thus
in
possession
of
the
Towne
,
where
finding
nothing
to
satisfie
their
expectations
,
&
in
doubt
what
to
doe
,
whether
to
goe
forwarde
,
or
to
returne
,
he
suddainly
had
intelligence
by
his
Espials
,
that
a
great
rabble
of
the
Islanders
had
gathered
head
together
,
with
purposed
resolution
to
set
vpon
them
,
and
of
greater
force
then
they
were
able
to
withstand
:
which
Sir
Thomas
vnderstanding
:
and
perceiuing
his
men
to
murmur
,
and
be
afraide
,
commaunded
his
Liuetenant
to
lead
them
downe
the
hill
,
in
a
Souldierlike
retreat
,
and
to
keepe
an
easie
pace
towards
the
Shippe
,
encouraging
them
not
to
feare
the
number
of
the
Turkes
,
for
that
they
were
a
people
in
those
parts
vnpractized
and
vnskilfull
in
any
Militarie
Discipline
,
and
their
best
weapons
were
but
staues
and
stones
.
Hee
further
gaue
directions
,
that
when
they
came
into
the
plaine
,
they
should
make
a
stand
,
assuring
there
could
bee
no
danger
for
them
there
:
and
for
his
owne
part
,
he
promised
to
doe
the
like
with
the
rereward
.
But
his
men
being
now
changed
from
mutiners
to
cowards
,
not
obseruing
any
charge
or
direction
of
their
Captaine
,
without
any
order
posted
downe
the
hill
,
as
fast
as
they
could
trot
:
which
the
Rere
perceiuing
began
to
doe
the
like
.
Whereupon
Sir
Thomas
,
taking
a
Gentleman
by
the
hand
,
went
a
head
the
Rere
,
and
so
stopt
the
passage
,
that
except
they
would
haue
trode
vpon
him
,
they
could
not
passe
in
that
troubled
and
disordered
maner
.
Here
they
were
sore
beaten
with
stones
,
and
many
of
his
men
hurt
,
and
himselfe
hurt
in
the
legge
:
howbeit
,
they
maintained
skirmish
a
while
with
them
,
and
kild
some
of
them
,
and
then
marched
quietly
for
a
quarter
of
a
mile
,
the
inhabitants
still
watching
all
aduantages
to
endamage
them
:
but
at
last
they
recouered
the
plaine
,
which
was
within
a
mile
of
their
Ship
;
where
,
when
the
Rere
perceiued
that
the
Uanguard
was
fled
so
farre
before
,
that
they
were
ready
to
goe
aboard
,
they
followed
as
fast
after
,
leauing
their
Captaine
in
the
midst
of
all
his
enemies
,
where
hee
could
not
make
any
of
his
men
to
stay
,
and
share
fortunes
with
him
,
notwithstanding
be
commanded
,
perswaded
,
and
intreated
all
he
could
.
Sir
Thomas
beeing
thus
forsaken
of
his
men
,
and
enuironed
of
his
enemies
,
hauing
neither
minde
to
flie
,
nor
desire
to
liue
with
a
setled
resolution
,
and
out
of
all
hope
of
life
,
yet
desirous
to
sell
it
at
as
deere
a
rate
as
he
could
,
prest
vpon
his
enemies
,
and
hauing
tenne
Greeks
assayling
him
at
once
(
onely
accompanied
with
two
that
could
not
escape
)
forced
himselfe
to
make
way
through
them
,
bestowing
his
blowes
on
all
sides
,
that
the
Islanders
themselues
well
perceiued
,
how
hard
a
matter
it
had
beene
for
them
to
haue
ouerthrown
,
or
defeated
his
company
,
if
the
rest
had
retayned
his
courage
,
and
resolution
.
But
hee
beeing
ouercharged
with
multitudes
,
was
in
the
endesore
wounded
,
and
beaten
downe
:
where
beeing
thus
taken
,
and
disarmed
,
they
only
can
iudge
,
that
haue
vndergone
the
like
danger
(
if
any
such
there
be
)
what
thoughts
possessed
his
minde
,
when
in
this
change
of
Fortune
hee
found
himselfe
forsaken
of
his
own
men
&
nowe
in
the
handes
of
a
trustlesse
,
bloody
,
and
barbarous
people
.
The
miserie
of
Sir
Thomas
Sherly
his
imprisonment
in
a
Turkish
Island
.
THough
it
bee
a
heauy
thing
for
a
man
to
fall
from
a
happie
and
prosperous
estate
into
a
wretched
and
lamentable
condition
,
yet
is
affliction
the
true
and
perfect
triall
or
touchstone
of
the
soule
and
mind
of
man
:
for
shee
makes
a
deepe
search
into
our
inward
parts
,
whether
shee
can
finde
a
residence
of
those
heauenly
and
humane
vertues
,
that
in
the
time
of
calamitie
ought
to
be
in
euery
Christian
:
wherof
,
shee
found
such
store
in
the
immutable
mind
of
this
most
worthie
gentleman
,
that
notwithstanding
this
forlorne
and
miserable
change
of
his
estate
,
hee
neuertheles
held
on
the
setled
course
of
that
confidence
and
constancie
,
that
he
before
had
in
the
time
of
his
prosperitie
.
But
to
returne
to
our
History
:
Sir
Thomas
and
two
of
his
men
being
thus
taken
,
and
in
the
hands
of
tenne
of
the
Inhabitants
,
nine
of
them
were
resolued
to
kil
him
,
howbeit
the
tenth
by
intreatie
and
perswasion
saued
his
life
;
but
they
stript
him
of
all
hee
had
,
euen
to
his
bootes
and
stockings
,
and
binding
his
handes
with
one
of
his
garters
led
him
backe
bare
footed
through
the
rocke
,
so
into
the
Towne
.
In
all
which
time
there
was
not
a
Grecian
man
or
woman
that
they
met
by
the
way
,
but
either
did
,
or
assaild
to
strike
him
:
His
Shippe
staide
●
.
dayes
after
in
the
harbor
,
but
neuer
made
any
attempt
either
by
force
or
intreaty
for
his
deliuerie
.
All
the
while
the
shippe
staid
there
,
they
kept
him
in
irons
,
but
when
the
ship
was
gone
,
they
tooke
them
off
,
and
vsed
him
in
better
manner
then
he
expected
from
the
handes
of
so
barbarous
a
people
.
Here
was
he
kept
prisoner
for
the
space
of
a
whole
moneth
,
and
from
thence
was
sent
in
a
small
open
boate
to
Nigro
Ponte
,
and
there
deliuered
to
the
Caia
,
for
so
is
the
principall
officer
of
that
Island
called
:
at
the
first
hee
was
vsed
kindly
,
and
intreated
well
,
but
safly
kept
,
and
watched
euery
night
with
a
guard
of
eight
men
,
4.
Turkes
,
and
4.
Greekes
.
After
the
end
of
fiue
dayes
,
he
lent
him
a
Ianissarie
to
carry
his
letters
to
the
English
Consul
of
Petrasle
,
which
was
5.
dayes
iourney
from
thence
,
howbeit
hee
receiued
no
answere
of
his
letters
from
the
Consull
;
but
vpon
the
Ianissaries
returne
,
hee
was
presently
committed
into
a
darke
dungeon
,
&
with
a
great
gally
chaine
,
bound
fast
with
a
slaue
that
was
before
taken
,
which
greeued
him
worst
of
all
.
He
continued
in
this
loathsome
prison
,
from
the
20.
of
March
,
1602.
vntil
the
25.
of
Iuly
1603.
during
which
time
,
his
best
diet
was
but
bread
and
water
,
and
his
warmest
lodging
,
the
cold
ground
:
hauing
oftentimes
besides
the
miserie
of
his
imprisonment
,
many
threates
and
menaces
sent
him
,
sometimes
of
death
,
sometimes
of
the
Gallies
;
being
thus
out
of
al
hope
of
liberty
,
and
in
a
daily
expectation
of
death
,
without
any
comfort
,
but
such
as
his
patience
ministred
vnto
him
,
where
nothing
was
presented
to
the
eye
,
or
eare
,
but
matter
of
horror
and
dispaire
;
yet
did
he
still
retaine
in
his
mind
,
that
guidance
&
command
of
his
affections
,
as
they
were
neuer
much
moued
,
or
inwardly
disturbed
with
the
outward
distraction
of
his
sences
.
In
this
time
hee
wrote
diuerse
letters
to
the
English
Embassador
at
Constantinople
,
intreating
him
that
in
regard
of
his
country
,
hee
would
deale
with
the
Admirall
Bashaw
(
whose
prisoner
he
in
right
was
)
for
his
inlargement
,
protesting
that
as
he
was
a
gentleman
,
(
whose
name
and
family
hee
knew
well
)
he
would
in
as
short
time
as
he
could
postbly
requite
his
kindnes
at
full
to
his
contentment
.
But
prisons
are
like
graues
,
where
a
man
,
though
aliue
,
is
neuertheles
buried
from
the
regard
,
or
respect
of
any
;
for
the
Embassador
did
not
answere
any
of
his
letters
,
but
told
the
Bashaw
hee
might
vse
him
according
to
his
discretion
.
During
this
time
of
his
miserable
imprisonment
,
some
or
other
had
enformed
the
Bashaw
,
that
hee
was
able
to
pay
50.
thousand
Chickeno's
for
his
ransome
:
whereupon
the
Bashaw
sent
him
guarded
by
4.
Cappages
,
(
whome
wee
here
call
Pursiuants
)
from
Nigro
Ponte
to
Constantinople
.
Thus
were
his
miseries
ended
in
one
place
,
to
bee
begun
and
continued
in
another
.
His
miserie
in
his
imprisonment
in
Constantinople
.
THe
sicke
man
that
shifteth
place
,
yet
alters
not
his
disease
,
findes
little
comfort
in
the
change
of
ayre
,
or
climate
,
for
that
the
nature
of
sicknes
doth
kill
,
or
controule
that
pleasure
and
delight
,
which
commonly
keepes
company
with
a
healthfull
bodie
.
Such
was
the
condition
of
Sir
Thomas
in
his
remoue
from
Nigro
Ponte
to
Constantinople
,
for
both
his
vsage
by
the
way
,
and
his
entertainment
there
gaue
him
small
cause
of
comfort
,
in
that
only
he
found
the
place
was
changed
,
but
not
the
nature
of
his
imprisonment
.
Betweene
Nigro
Ponte
and
Constantinople
is
fiue
hundreth
miles
,
&
all
that
way
he
was
carried
vpon
a
Moyle
,
riding
vpon
a
pack-saddle
with
a
great
gally
chaine
about
his
legges
,
and
another
about
his
waste
,
and
many
times
his
legges
bound
vnder
the
horse
belly
,
sometimes
he
lay
in
houses
,
sometimes
vnder
trees
,
and
whensoeuer
he
lay
in
any
Towne
where
there
were
any
stocks
,
there
they
lodged
him
:
&
when
they
faild
of
such
a
place
,
they
bound
his
legges
together
with
a
little
chayne
,
besides
the
great
chaine
about
his
waste
,
&
his
hands
fast
lockt
with
manacles
of
iron
:
his
guard
were
the
4.
Cappages
which
were
sent
by
the
Bashaw
:
It
would
haue
moued
the
patience
of
the
best
tempered
mind
,
to
heare
,
&
be
forced
to
indure
the
dispightful
taunts
&
approbrious
speeches
,
which
though
not
by
their
language
,
yet
by
their
stearne
countenances
and
behauiours
,
he
might
well
vnderstand
in
all
his
iourney
between
Nigro
Ponte
,
&
Constantinople
,
The
12.
day
after
their
setting
forth
,
about
three
of
the
clock
in
the
after
noone
,
they
entred
the
Cittie
:
Immediately
vpon
his
comming
,
he
wrote
againe
to
the
Embassadour
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
the
cause
of
his
imprisonment
,
together
with
the
manner
of
his
former
vsage
,
and
the
nature
of
his
present
misery
:
he
much
importund
him
that
he
would
not
leaue
him
in
his
calamitie
,
nor
suffer
him
,
being
his
Countryman
,
and
a
Gentleman
,
to
spend
his
hope
,
his
youth
,
his
fortune
,
nay
his
life
,
in
so
vild
and
dishonorable
a
prison
,
vnder
the
cruell
tyranny
of
an
vnbeleeuing
people
.
But
hee
flatly
sent
him
word
,
That
hee
would
neither
meddle
nor
make
with
him
.
Sir
Thomas
being
thus
left
all
desolate
and
disconsolate
,
stil
armed
himselfe
with
his
wonted
patience
,
and
setled
confidence
against
the
horror
of
despaire
,
not
suffering
his
minde
to
bee
chained
,
and
fettered
(
as
his
bodie
)
with
seruile
thoughts
and
fearefull
apprehensions
;
but
in
the
freedome
of
his
Spirite
maintayned
her
libertie
,
and
in
the
midst
of
all
his
feares
,
made
hope
the
predominant
.
The
next
day
after
his
comming
to
the
Cittie
,
he
was
brought
before
the
Bashaw
,
who
demanded
what
he
made
in
the
Arches
,
and
why
in
that
hostile
maner
against
the
law
of
Armes
,
and
condition
of
the
League
betwixt
both
kingdomes
,
without
any
leaue
or
admittance
,
hee
had
landed
a
forcible
power
,
with
purpose
to
spoyle
and
prey
in
that
part
of
the
Turkes
Dominion
?
sir
Tho.
answered
,
that
being
violently
driuen
into
wants
by
the
Fortunes
of
the
sea
and
his
long
trauels
,
hee
was
compelled
to
land
,
onely
to
refresh
his
men
,
and
the
rather
in
that
country
which
hee
knew
to
bee
friend
vnto
his
King
.
The
Bashaw
replyed
againe
,
that
his
entrance
was
against
law
,
and
right
and
that
hee
was
iustly
his
prisoner
,
&
therupon
asked
him
presently
,
and
in
peremptory
manner
,
what
ransome
hee
would
pay
for
his
deliuery
?
Sir
Thomas
told
him
he
knew
no
reason
he
should
be
enforced
to
pay
any
ransome
being
in
a
friendes
hands
,
whome
neither
in
substance
nor
circumstance
he
had
offended
:
&
that
if
his
cause
were
rightly
scand
by
an
impartial
Iudge
,
together
with
the
long
time
and
vilde
manner
of
his
imprisonment
,
it
would
bee
thought
but
equity
,
that
he
himselfe
should
both
require
,
and
receiue
a
sufficient
recompence
for
the
wrongs
and
miseries
that
he
had
sustained
.
Finally
,
he
told
the
Bashaw
that
he
held
him
in
his
own
conceit
and
opinion
,
to
be
too
iust
,
and
honorable
to
demand
a
ransome
of
him
,
that
neuer
deserued
to
bee
a
prisoner
.
But
(
to
be
briefe
)
the
Bashaw
told
him
that
he
knew
he
was
a
malefactor
,
and
that
his
acts
were
violent
and
indirect
,
which
hee
auerd
he
could
not
answere
,
or
otherwise
the
Embassadour
would
not
haue
abandoned
him
:
withal
protested
with
a
high
voyce
,
&
stearne
countenance
,
that
he
would
haue
50.
thousand
Chickeno's
for
his
ransome
,
or
his
head
for
satisfaction
.
sir
Tho.
doubting
the
crueltie
of
this
barbarous
Turke
,
and
being
much
wearied
&
weakned
with
the
misery
of
a
long
and
vilde
imprisonment
,
to
buy
some
ease
and
quietnes
,
was
content
to
promise
the
payment
of
12.
thousand
Chickeno's
,
with
condition
that
hee
might
bee
well
vsed
,
&
weare
no
more
irons
:
the
proffer
was
neither
taken
,
nor
refused
;
howbeit
a
promise
was
made
that
he
should
be
wel
intreated
,
but
it
was
slenderly
kept
;
for
hee
was
had
presently
into
the
porters
lodge
in
the
great
Turks
Court
,
and
put
into
a
filthy
common
Gaole
;
where
,
though
the
first
night
hee
had
a
good
supper
,
hee
founde
no
other
bedde
to
lie
vpon
,
but
the
colde
stones
:
Now
ebeit
,
this
had
beene
well
,
if
worse
had
not
succeeded
:
for
the
Bashaw
belike
hauing
new
intelligence
both
of
his
state
and
aliance
,
&
supposing
that
no
better
meanes
could
bee
vsed
for
the
recouery
of
his
ransome
,
then
rough
handling
,
gaue
straite
charge
that
he
should
from
time
to
time
be
worser
handled
then
hitherto
he
had
beene
,
since
the
first
time
of
his
imprisonment
.
Whereupon
,
the
next
morning
at
breake
of
day
hee
was
remooued
to
a
worser
place
,
and
both
his
feete
put
into
the
Stockes
,
a
great
yron
chaine
about
his
necke
,
both
his
hands
tied
before
him
,
and
his
body
stretcht
out
all
along
,
with
a
great
sharpe
stone
laied
vnder
the
raines
of
his
backe
;
so
that
it
was
impossible
for
him
to
stirre
,
beeing
also
vexed
continually
with
lyee
,
which
was
not
the
least
torment
hee
endured
:
so
that
hee
often
wished
that
the
sentence
of
his
death
had
beene
pronounced
,
&
did
willingly
frame
his
thoughts
,
and
order
his
minde
,
to
entertaine
with
patience
the
destinie
of
such
a
doome
:
for
this
miserie
toucht
him
so
neere
,
that
he
was
content
to
relinquish
all
hope
and
desire
of
life
,
and
to
meditate
on
nothing
,
but
of
death
.
He
continued
in
this
estate
,
from
Saturday
the
23
of
August
,
1603.
vntill
the
Tuesday
following
▪
in
which
time
,
hee
was
suffered
to
rise
but
4.
times
in
24.
houres
.
That
Twesday
,
about
nine
of
the
clocke
,
he
was
brought
againe
into
the
presence
of
the
Bashaw
,
as
he
fate
in
open
Court
,
where
he
renued
his
olde
demaunde
of
filtie
thousand
Chickeno's
.
All
Christian
Embassadours
haue
in
the
Bashawes
Court
continually
two
Interpreters
,
to
haue
a
care
and
regard
of
such
causes
and
occurrents
,
as
may
concerne
their
Country
.
This
day
the
English
Embassador
had
none
there
,
belike
to
avoyde
the
unportunities
that
Sir
Thomas
in
this
his
Tragicke
state
might
haue
vsed
.
But
to
return
to
the
Bashaw
his
demand
:
Sir
Thomas
answered
him
,
that
hee
found
little
constancy
in
his
wordes
;
that
if
his
life
might
make
satisfaction
,
that
was
in
his
power
:
and
more
iust
,
and
honourable
it
were
for
him
to
take
it
,
then
to
prolong
it
still
with
torment
:
for
his
own
part
,
hee
would
promise
no
more
,
because
hee
could
performe
no
more
.
To
be
briefe
,
he
told
him
,
hee
might
haue
his
life
,
but
neuer
his
demaund
.
The
Bashaw
neuer
replied
,
but
presently
commanded
his
head
should
bee
stricken
off
.
But
though
he
was
rash
in
the
doome
,
he
did
deliberate
in
the
deede
:
for
Sir
Thomas
was
carried
backe
into
prison
,
where
though
hee
found
rather
an
increase
,
then
any
mittigation
of
his
former
torments
,
yet
was
his
life
still
preserued
by
the
miraculous
power
of
Almightie
God
.
The
Continuation
of
Sir
Thomas
Sherleys
miserie
in
his
imprisonment
in
Constantinople
.
SIr
Thomas
beeing
thus
returned
into
prison
,
and
his
old
torments
renuing
,
hauing
small
hope
of
life
,
and
lesse
expectation
of
release
,
euery
houre
awayting
the
execution
of
his
doome
;
a
certaine
Iewe
dwelling
in
the
Citie
,
vnderstanding
his
imprisonment
,
and
his
vild
manner
of
handling
;
and
that
he
was
also
a
Gentleman
of
account
,
and
estimation
in
his
Country
:
in
pittie
and
compassion
of
his
estate
,
found
the
meanes
to
come
and
speake
with
him
in
prison
:
where
,
after
a
few
salutations
,
the
Iew
reasoned
with
him
in
this
manner
.
As
you
are
a
stranger
both
by
your
birth
,
and
language
,
to
this
Nation
;
so
you
also
seeme
to
bee
strange
and
ignorant
of
their
Natures
&
Conditions
.
I
haue
heard
of
your
long
imprisonment
,
and
though
I
know
not
the
cause
,
yet
I
grieue
much
at
the
manner
of
your
handling
.
You
shall
doe
well
in
this
,
rather
to
follow
my
counsell
,
that
haue
a
little
experience
of
their
customes
,
then
wilfully
to
cast
your selfe
away
by
ignorance
.
Be
ruled
by
me
,
and
make
promise
of
this
great
summe
of
money
to
the
Bashawe
,
but
take
a
long
time
for
the
paiment
.
It
can
bee
no
way
preiudiciall
to
you
,
if
you
way
your
owne
state
,
and
his
case
aright
:
for
if
your
King
hold
his
amitie
with
the
Turke
,
and
that
the
league
bee
continued
,
whereof
there
is
yet
no
doubt
,
you
may
before
the
prefixt
day
taken
for
the
payment
,
by
the
benefit
of
your
King
,
bee
freed
without
ransome
.
If
that
faile
,
and
a
farre
lesse
summe
be
brought
in
the
meane
time
,
and
that
he
findes
there
is
small
hope
of
more
;
they
will
rather
accept
that
,
though
it
be
little
,
then
hazard
your
life
,
and
so
loose
all
.
And
I
will
also
giue
you
a
further
comfort
,
which
though
it
proceedes
but
from
mine
owne
opinion
,
without
particular
intelligence
of
any
such
matter
,
(
for
in
this
blindfolded
state
of
Turkie
,
men
may
obserue
,
howbeit
knowe
nothing
,
but
to
obey
:
)
This
Bashaw
,
this
great
aduersarie
of
yours
,
that
now
hath
your
life
in
pursuite
,
is
like
ere
long
to
loose
his
owne
,
for
the
nature
and
qualitie
of
his
place
will
not
hold
an
officer
long
.
Sir
Thomas
hauing
a
Woolfe
by
the
eare
,
wherein
there
was
danger
,
either
to
hold
or
let
goe
▪
doubting
whether
he
were
best
follow
the
counsell
of
a
Iewe
,
or
trust
the
cruelty
of
a
Turke
:
yet
hauing
well
wayed
his
wordes
,
wherein
he
could
finde
nothing
that
sauoured
of
deceipt
,
hee
thought
it
best
to
follow
his
aduice
.
And
so
holding
that
determination
,
he
found
means
shortly
to
send
vnto
the
Bashaw
,
to
whom
he
promised
fourtie
thousand
Chickeno's
,
conditionally
to
haue
reasonable
day
for
the
paiment
,
and
in
the
meane
time
to
be
vsed
like
a
Gentleman
,
to
bee
kept
in
a
house
by
himselfe
,
and
not
to
bee
troubled
with
all
manner
of
Rascals
:
to
haue
allowed
him
two
hundred
Aspers
a
day
for
his
diet
,
which
is
tenne
shillings
sterling
,
and
a
seruant
to
waite
vpon
him
.
The
Bashaw
was
glad
to
receiue
this
proffer
,
and
promised
him
more
then
he
demanded
:
that
he
should
haue
a
good
house
,
and
a
faire
garden
;
that
he
should
haue
two
hundred
Aspers
a
day
allowed
him
,
and
two
seruants
,
at
his
choyce
,
either
men
or
women
to
attend
vpon
him
:
and
that
for
his
money
he
should
haue
good
meate
,
&
wine
,
because
(
quoth
the
Bashaw
)
I
wil
haue
you
contented
.
Though
Sir
Thomas
was
glad
of
this
proffer
,
yet
was
there
an
occasion
ministred
very
soone
after
to
dislike
it
:
for
the
next
day
the
English
Embassadour
wrote
vnto
him
that
hee
was
as
sorry
for
his
error
,
as
for
his
imprisonment
,
and
that
hee
intangled
himselfe
into
an
intricate
laborinth
;
out
of
the
which
,
he
could
not
winde
himselfe
,
without
payment
of
the
money
.
He
therefore
aduised
him
,
to
reuoke
his
promise
,
and
by
no
meanes
to
accept
the
Bashawes
proffer
:
for
if
he
did
,
he
was
either
tied
to
his
worde
,
or
his
life
to
the
Turkes
disposing
:
and
to
comfort
him
withall
,
hee
told
him
that
within
tenne
daies
hee
would
procure
his
release
,
get
him
home
to
his
owne
house
,
and
become
his
Baile
.
Whereupon
Sir
Thomas
trusting
the
Embassadours
promise
,
refused
the
Bashawes
proffer
,
and
so
was
carried
backe
into
his
olde
prison
,
where
with
great
miserie
and
distresse
,
hee
lay
long
after
.
About
Michaelmas
after
,
this
Visior
Bashawe
his
great
Aduersarie
was
hangd
,
according
to
the
Iewes
Prophecie
,
which
gaue
him
cause
to
entertaine
a
newe
hope
of
his
Deliuerie
:
for
presently
vpon
the
death
of
the
Bashawe
,
hee
wrote
agame
to
the
Embassadour
,
requesting
him
that
now
he
would
remember
him
,
or
neuer
,
for
nowe
was
the
time
,
if
it
pleased
him
to
extend
his
eredit
in
the
Court
,
to
procure
his
Release
,
his
Aduersarie
beeing
dead
,
and
no
barre
in
the
way
to
hinder
it
:
and
this
hee
did
with
the
greater
instance
importune
,
because
(
quoth
hee
)
I
am
not
able
to
holde
out
long
,
hauing
endured
so
many
grieuous
,
and
strange
afflictions
:
and
beeing
so
much
weakened
with
the
tedious
and
miserable
indurance
of
the
same
.
Howbeit
,
the
Embassadour
returned
him
this
discomfortable
answere
,
That
hee
coulde
doe
nothing
,
till
there
were
a
newe
Visior
Bashawe
ordained
in
his
place
,
and
then
he
would
doe
what
he
could
for
him
.
It
was
tenne
daies
before
there
was
a
new
one
made
:
As
soone
as
hee
was
installed
,
the
Embassadour
(
as
Sir
Thomas
was
informed
)
dealt
with
him
for
his
libertie
:
but
to
no
purpose
,
for
the
Bashaw
answered
him
,
that
it
lay
not
in
his
power
to
doe
him
any
good
,
for
that
hee
was
a
prisoner
belonging
to
the
great
Turke
,
and
therefore
could
not
bee
deliuered
without
his
consent
.
Wherupon
the
Embassadour
preferred
a
petition
to
the
great
Turke
in
his
behalfe
,
who
presently
gaue
commandement
hee
should
bee
enlarged
the
day
following
,
which
was
Thursday
:
and
vndoubtedly
,
had
the
Embassadour
not
slacked
this
matter
,
but
presently
laied
hold
vpon
the
Turkes
commaund
,
it
had
beene
an
easie
matter
to
haue
set
him
at
libertie
that
night
.
But
whether
it
was
the
too
much
confidence
that
hee
had
in
the
Turkes
variable
and
vncertaine
humour
,
or
that
other
businesse
and
intendements
of
his
owne
carried
his
thoughts
other
waies
▪
or
that
it
was
so
ordained
,
that
Sir
Thomas
his
miseries
should
not
yet
haue
ende
,
I
cannot
tell
,
but
the
matter
of
his
release
was
lingred
,
till
the
Sunday
following
.
At
which
time
,
vpon
new
aduertisements
the
commandement
of
his
libertie
was
reuersed
,
and
hee
retained
stil
in
prison
,
loaden
with
more
cares
,
and
lesse
hope
then
euer
he
had
.
The
maner
of
Sir
Thomas
Sherley
his
deliuery
,
by
the
benefit
of
the
King
of
Englands
princely
and
gratious
letters
to
the
Turke
.
THe
Marchant
after
a
long
,
&
dangerous
voyage
,
hauing
recouered
with
safetie
the
Hauen
of
his
desire
,
though
vtterly
lost
the
fruit
of
all
his
labours
,
recounts
with
pleasure
the
perils
past
,
leauing
a
glad
memoriall
to
be
told
in
after
times
by
his
posteritie
:
for
Contraria
contrariis
magis
elucescunt
,
Contrary
is
best
knowne
by
his
contrary
:
we
should
neuer
know
the
excellencie
of
rest
,
but
by
labour
;
nor
of
plentie
but
by
want
;
nor
of
safty
but
by
danger
;
nor
of
libertie
,
but
by
restraint
.
And
I
doubt
not
also
but
sir
Thomas
,
together
with
the
pleasure
that
he
now
conceiues
in
the
remembrance
of
his
forepassed
miseries
,
doth
not
forget
in
his
daily
prayers
the
sacrifice
of
praise
and
thanksgiuing
,
vnto
that
diuine
power
that
preserued
him
so
wonderfully
in
all
his
troubles
,
and
deliuered
him
so
happily
,
euen
from
the
very
gate
,
and
gulfe
of
death
and
danger
.
But
to
returne
to
Turkie
,
for
wee
haue
not
yet
brought
him
to
England
.
Within
a
fortnight
after
the
countermaund
of
his
deliuery
,
the
great
Turke
died-leauing
his
sonne
,
(
a
boy
of
some
14.
yeares
)
to
succeed
him
:
sir
Thomas
in
this
new
world
,
retaines
a
new
hope
of
his
deliuery
,
and
not
slacking
to
lay
hold
of
any
occasion
,
writes
againe
to
the
Embassadour
,
requesting
him
with
much
importunitie
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
take
the
opportunitie
of
this
tune
for
his
release
,
for
that
he
had
a
hope
,
the
yong
King
whose
mind
was
flexible
,
might
easily
bee
wrought
to
deale
gratiously
with
him
.
Howbeit
the
Embassadour
sent
him
word
,
that
they
boy
King
could
do
him
no
good
,
he
being
by
reason
of
his
youth
vnder
gouernment
and
protection
;
till
either
the
Admirall
came
,
who
was
then
vpon
the
confines
of
Turkie
;
or
the
Protector
,
who
was
shortly
to
returne
out
of
Egypt
.
At
the
arriuall
of
either
of
them
(
whosoeuer
was
first
)
he
protested
he
would
sollicite
him
in
his
behalfe
,
and
doubt
not
but
hee
should
soone
worke
the
meanes
of
his
deliuery
;
in
the
meane
time
hee
willed
him
to
comfort
himselfe
,
for
he
would
not
pretermit
any
occasion
proffered
to
doe
him
good
Sir
Thomas
lingered
on
this
hope
,
and
bare
out
the
brunt
of
many
a
cold
and
bitter
houre
,
vntill
the
first
of
December
,
at
what
time
the
Admirall
was
returned
:
who
being
importuned
by
the
Embassador
;
answere
was
made
,
that
hee
would
not
deale
with
the
Prisoner
,
till
the
comming
of
the
Protector
.
Not
long
after
the
Protector
returned
,
whome
the
Embassador
belike
finding
vntractable
,
soone
gaue
ouer
his
suite
.
The
first
day
the
Protector
sate
in
Iudgement
,
was
Christmas
day
,
before
whome
Sir
Thomas
was
sent
for
to
appeare
,
&
this
day
also
the
Embassadour
had
no
Interpreter
there
.
The
Visior
Bashaw
hauing
called
him
before
him
,
askt
him
why
hee
was
committed
to
prison
?
Sir
Thomas
answered
boldly
,
that
his
fortune
,
and
the
mistaking
of
his
attempt
and
enterprise
in
the
Island
was
first
the
cause
of
his
restraint
,
but
the
malice
and
ill
opinion
that
Hashan
Bashaw
conceiued
against
him
,
without
cause
,
had
held
him
so
long
,
a
poore
and
miserable
prisoner
:
Honorably
desiring
the
Protector
,
that
sith
there
was
nothing
questionable
that
might
touch
his
life
,
except
the
enforc't
power
,
and
extent
of
authoritie
;
and
that
if
any
fault
were
committed
,
his
punishment
was
greater
then
the
cryme
:
That
it
would
please
him
now
at
last
to
giue
him
his
liberty
.
But
here
was
no
such
grace
seated
in
the
Protectors
heart
,
for
without
any
reply
,
processe
,
or
order
of
law
,
he
gaue
a
present
,
and
peremptory
command
,
That
hee
with
his
two
men
should
bee
hang'd
.
It
booted
him
not
to
aske
why
;
but
hauing
prepared
his
mind
before
to
such
an
horror
,
and
liuing
long
in
a
continuall
expectance
thereof
,
hee
yeelded
himselfe
willingly
thereunto
;
for
he
knew
wel
that
nought
but
his
death
would
satisfie
the
doome
.
Hereupon
was
sir
Thomas
&
his
two
men
bound
all
together
,
and
lead
presently
away
towards
the
place
of
execution
:
what
could
he
wish
in
such
a
case
(
besides
his
diuine
meditations
)
but
that
his
mind
&
thoughts
might
suddainly
bee
transported
into
England
,
to
execute
his
tongues
office
,
(
that
is
)
to
commend
his
humble
dutie
to
his
Father
,
and
his
kind
remembrance
to
his
friends
and
allyes
;
to
let
them
vnderstand
the
miseries
of
his
imprisonment
,
and
the
vildnes
of
his
death
,
occasioned
by
the
trecherie
and
cowardice
of
his
own
men
:
from
thence
he
might
wish
them
sodainly
posted
to
Spaine
and
Persia
,
that
his
honorable
brethren
might
vnderstand
the
manner
of
his
life
and
death
,
that
in
their
hostile
imployments
against
the
Turkes
,
they
might
bee
sufficiently
reuenged
of
his
death
.
But
God
did
suddainly
possesse
the
heart
of
one
of
the
Interpreters
to
the
Venetian
Embassador
with
a
Christian
pittie
,
&
regard
of
his
estate
,
who
sodainly
repaired
(
for
otherwise
that
had
bin
too
late
)
to
the
Protector
,
beseeching
him
that
hee
would
not
in
his
furie
take
away
the
life
of
so
gallant
a
gentleman
,
vpon
bare
surmises
that
if
he
held
him
worthily
a
prisoner
,
(
and
that
but
supposed
)
being
no
greater
,
it
might
please
him
rather
to
take
his
ransome
,
then
his
life
.
At
the
first
the
Protector
was
very
obstinate
,
being
importuned
,
and
hauing
a
hope
of
the
gaine
of
40.
thousand
Chickeno's
,
(
which
were
proffered
)
made
him
a
little
to
relent
:
and
so
hee
commanded
to
stay
his
Execution
.
Thus
Sir
Thomas
brought
from
the
place
of
death
,
and
presently
carryed
to
another
place
little
better
,
it
being
a
prison
called
the
seuen
Towers
,
where
he
was
put
into
a
miserable
darke
dungeon
,
and
extreame
cold
.
There
he
continued
till
one
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
the
next
day
;
at
which
time
the
Embassador
hauing
vnderstood
of
the
misery
of
that
place
,
sent
one
of
hismen
to
the
Gaoler
to
intreat
him
,
that
hee
might
bee
remoued
to
some
better
place
:
whereupon
hee
was
had
out
of
the
dungeon
,
and
put
together
with
his
two
men
,
into
a
little
shed
,
but
two
yardes
square
,
built
against
a
wall
;
hauing
neither
cloathes
,
bed
,
fire
,
nor
any
good
meat
.
In
this
state
hee
continued
foureteene
dayes
,
in
extreame
cold
,
weather
,
of
frost
and
snow
:
during
which
time
,
one
of
his
men
perished
,
and
died
euen
of
very
cold
:
and
he
himselfe
was
so
benummed
in
all
his
limbes
,
as
he
feared
he
should
neuer
againe
haue
the
vse
of
them
.
In
this
poore
estate
hee
continued
till
the
beginning
of
Aprill
,
1604
,
at
which
time
there
were
Letters
sent
from
the
Kings
Maiestie
to
the
great
Turke
,
and
money
from
his
Father
;
for
before
that
time
,
hee
had
receiued
no
newes
out
of
England
:
But
whether
by
negligence
,
or
some
ill
accident
,
the
letters
were
lost
;
Notwithstanding
,
by
reason
of
his
money
,
he
was
admitted
to
buy
a
Chamber
,
and
to
hire
a
Seruant
to
attend
vpon
him
,
being
stil
a
prisoner
,
and
hauing
a
watchful
guard
about
him
.
Thus
he
continued
till
the
Christmas
following
;
In
which
time
his
father
hauing
vnderstanding
of
his
great
miserie
sustayned
,
together
with
the
losse
of
his
Maiesties
former
Letters
,
and
his
Sonnes
present
case
(
as
it
stood
)
became
againe
an
humble
suiter
to
the
King
in
his
Sonnes
behalfe
,
and
eftsoones
obtained
his
Maiesties
gratious
letters
to
the
great
Turke
for
his
deliuery
:
howbeit
those
letters
did
not
worke
his
release
,
for
hee
was
still
continued
in
prison
:
But
by
meanes
of
them
he
had
not
torture
,
nor
torment
inflicted
vpon
him
,
as
before
,
but
continued
a
prisoner
till
the
middle
of
Nouember
.
1605.
It
which
time
his
Maiesty
of
his
Princely
grace
and
fauour
,
directed
new
Letters
to
the
Turke
,
of
greater
force
then
before
:
by
veriue
of
which
,
and
God
assisting
)
he
was
deliuered
,
vpon
friday
,
the
sixt
of
December
,
in
the
yeare
aforesaid
:
which
was
in
this
manner
.
The
Protector
Bashaw
that
day
came
in
person
to
the
prison
,
and
causing
him
to
be
brought
forth
;
deliuered
him
,
together
with
his
man
,
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord
Embassador
with
these
wordes
,
Hee
is
your
Prisoner
till
the
morning
.
Thus
being
deliuered
,
but
not
absolutely
freed
;
the
Lord
Embassador
receiued
him
,
promising
to
send
him
the
next
morning
to
the
Duana
,
which
is
the
name
they
giue
to
their
principall
,
Court
:
because
the
Bashaw
tould
him
the
Emperour
held
him
to
be
his
lawfull
prisoner
,
&
that
he
had
forfeited
his
life
vnto
him
.
Howbeit
to
gratifie
the
Ma.
of
England
,
hee
was
pleased
to
giue
him
as
a
present
to
his
King
,
and
therefore
hee
should
be
deliuered
to
his
Ma.
officers
in
open
Court
.
The
next
day
following
,
beeing
Saturday
,
he
was
brought
into
the
Duana
,
there
was
no
great
doubt
or
question
made
of
his
deliuery
,
onely
the
Testados
(
who
is
,
as
we
tearme
him
,
the
L.
Treasurer
)
cast
forth
a
word
about
the
Kings
Letters
,
aduising
the
Bashaw
to
consider
what
he
did
,
in
the
deliuery
of
him
,
for
that
hee
seemed
to
be
a
great
man
.
The
Cadiliscar
,
(
that
is
as
it
were
the
chiefe
Iudge
in
deciding
mens
causes
)
answered
,
hee
knew
that
well
enough
,
and
it
was
so
generall
vnderstood
,
for
so
great
Kings
,
(
quoth
he
)
as
is
the
Maiestie
of
England
,
vse
not
to
write
for
meane
men
;
and
that
their
Emperour
had
freely
giuen
him
to
the
King
of
great
Britaine
,
and
therefore
willed
him
to
holde
his
peace
:
but
his
man
ran
a
daugerous
fortune
that
day
,
for
diuers
great
men
of
the
court
stood
much
against
him
,
affirming
the
Bashaw
had
no
reason
to
deliuer
him
,
because
he
was
neither
mentioned
in
his
Maiesties
Letters
,
nor
in
the
Emperours
graunt
.
But
the
Bashaw
hauing
vnder
hand
the
pronuse
of
a
great
summe
of
money
,
after
a
speech
made
,
and
some
solemnitie
vsed
,
deliuered
both
.
Howbeit
,
the
Monday
following
,
beeing
the
16.
of
December
,
remembring
himselfe
began
to
finde
his
error
,
and
to
bee
afraid
that
hee
had
runne
into
danger
for
releasing
of
his
man
,
and
thereupon
presently
sent
to
the
Lord
Embassadour
,
that
hee
would
send
both
Sir
Thomas
&
his
man
to
him
againe
.
The
L.
Embassadour
went
to
the
Bashaw
himselfe
,
refusing
to
send
either
of
them
backe
,
and
with
much
adoe
perswaded
the
Bashaw
,
for
though
he
found
no
danger
in
Sir
Thomas
,
yet
hee
teared
much
the
Bashaw
had
a
purpose
to
stay
his
man
:
and
Sir
Thomas
was
very
loath
to
haue
his
man
returned
againe
to
his
miserable
kennell
.
The
Turke
is
very
strickt
and
prccise
in
punishing
faults
in
his
Officers
,
for
that
very
Euening
the
Bashaw
was
depriued
of
his
place
,
for
ro
other
cause
,
but
deliuering
of
his
man
without
Commission
.
Thus
ended
the
tedious
trouble
and
miserie
of
Sir
Thomas
Sherley
in
his
imprisonment
,
which
beginning
in
the
Island
where
he
was
first
taken
,
the
15.
of
Ianuarie
,
in
the
yeare
1602.
was
afterwards
continued
in
Nigro
Ponte
,
and
at
last
ended
in
Constantinople
vpon
a
friday
the
6.
of
December
,
1605.
So
that
the
whole
time
of
his
imprisonment
was
3.
yeares
,
sauing
a
fewe
daies
.
And
here
is
to
bee
noted
what
a
stampe
and
impression
of
duty
and
regard
the
countenance
of
a
Kings
Letter
makes
in
the
hearts
of
subiects
,
though
in
places
farre
remote
.
For
the
Embassadour
that
before
that
time
did
but
faintly
assist
him
in
all
his
attempts
and
intreaties
,
and
was
many
times
afraid
to
speake
in
his
behalfe
,
and
often
refused
to
trouble
himselfe
in
this
businesse
;
vpon
the
receit
of
his
Maiesties
Letters
,
stood
so
stoutly
by
him
,
that
he
flatly
refused
to
send
Sir
Thomas
or
his
man
backe
,
notwithstanding
the
strickt
command
of
the
Visior
Bashaw
,
who
in
his
place
was
a
man
of
principall
authoritie
in
the
countrey
.
Sir
Thomas
staied
in
Constantinople
(
a
free
man
)
from
the
time
of
his
deliuerie
,
which
was
the
6.
of
December
,
vntill
the
15.
of
Februarie
following
,
1605.
during
which
time
,
hee
tooke
pleasure
to
solace
himselfe
there
,
where
before
he
had
endured
so
much
sorrow
and
miserie
,
taking
a
view
and
surucy
of
the
seat
,
and
scituation
of
the
Citie
obseruing
their
lawes
,
customs
,
and
ceremonies
,
beholding
their
Courts
,
Synagogues
,
and
Temples
,
with
other
things
not
vnworthy
a
strangers
obseruation
.
And
vpon
the
15.
of
February
hee
departed
from
Constantinople
in
a
Ragousian
Ship
,
called
the
Maria
de
la
Rosaria
,
and
landed
at
Callipoly
the
19.
of
the
same
moneth
,
from
thence
to
Naples
,
and
so
at
last
to
England
:
where
beeing
ioyfully
receiued
of
his
Father
,
and
his
Friends
,
hee
now
liues
by
the
benefit
of
his
Maiesties
fauour
.

❧
SIR
ANTHONY
Sherley
his
Aduentures
,
and
Voyage
into
Persia.
MAnkind
doeth
vniustly
,
and
without
cause
complaine
of
the
state
and
condition
of
his
life
,
for
that
it
is
fraile
,
subiect
to
infirmities
,
of
a
short
continuance
,
and
gouerned
rather
by
Fortune
,
then
by
Uertue
.
But
if
we
shall
consider
what
excellent
sparks
of
ornament
there
are
yet
left
in
Mans
nature
,
notwithstanding
the
soyle
of
some
,
which
by
the
corruption
of
Adam
,
is
vniuersally
centracted
vnto
all
:
and
that
we
would
but
descend
into
our
mindes
,
to
see
what
matter
of
worth
there
is
,
or
might
be
lodged
there
,
both
for
the
life
,
Actiue
,
and
Contemplatiue
:
we
should
not
find
Mankinde
so
wholly
depraued
in
his
degenerate
nature
:
but
that
we
may
obserue
some
signes
and
tokens
yet
left
in
him
,
of
the
notable
light
and
resplendant
beautie
of
his
first
creation
,
which
by
the
two
principall
parts
whereon
the
mind
consisteth
,
viz.
Vnderstanding
and
Will
,
and
the
faculties
belonging
vnto
them
,
may
easily
be
made
mauinifest
,
what
notable
memorials
both
of
their
studies
,
and
trauels
,
haue
beene
recorded
to
the
world
,
and
worthy
to
bee
continued
to
all
ages
,
vntill
the
end
of
time
,
and
the
beginning
of
eternitie
,
by
the
naturall
instinct
,
and
industrious
labours
of
the
mind
,
to
checke
and
controll
the
dull
and
sluggish
conditions
of
such
men
,
as
in
their
home-bred
affections
consume
their
time
in
base
humor
,
and
the
delights
of
idle
pleasure
.
And
when
I
thinke
vpon
the
circumstance
of
the
subiect
I
am
to
intreat
of
,
I
am
drawne
into
an
admiration
,
that
Sir
Anthony
Sherley
,
hauing
so
slender
beginnings
,
should
neuerthelesse
continue
that
state
,
countenan e
,
and
reckoning
,
as
hee
hath
done
euer
since
his
departure
out
of
England
,
euen
in
the
Courts
of
the
greatest
Princes
,
in
,
and
out
of
Christendome
:
so
farre
exceeding
Stukeley
,
that
I
am
afraid
to
bee
taxed
of
an
impartiall
,
and
rash
iudgement
,
but
to
intimate
a
comparison
between
them
,
there
being
so
great
difference
,
both
in
the
manner
of
their
trauels
,
the
nature
of
their
imployments
,
and
the
ende
of
their
intendements
.
The
one
hauing
his
desire
vpon
a
luxurious
,
and
libidiuous
life
:
The
other
hauing
principally
before
him
,
the
proiect
of
honour
:
which
,
not
in
treacherous
designes
(
as
Stukeley
attempted
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Pope
,
against
his
Countrie
)
he
hath
impaired
,
or
crazed
:
But
contrariwise
hath
so
inlarged
,
and
enhaunsed
the
same
,
that
his
fame
and
renowne
is
knowne
,
and
made
glorious
to
the
world
,
by
his
honourable
plots
and
imployments
,
against
the
enemie
of
Christendome
:
which
,
according
to
the
instructions
I
haue
receiued
,
I
will
briefly
relate
vnto
you
.
After
Sir
Anthony
his
departure
out
of
England
,
he
landed
in
a
short
time
at
Vlishing
,
where
beeing
honorably
entertained
,
&
feasted
by
the
Lord
Sidney
,
Lord
Gouernor
of
the
Garrison
,
hee
held
on
his
iourney
towards
the
Hague
,
as
well
to
visit
his
Excellencie
,
as
to
receiue
his
passe
for
his
better
conuoy
through
the
Countrey
.
From
thence
he
past
along
by
many
parts
of
Germanie
,
as
Franckford
,
Noremberge
,
and
so
to
Augusta
,
and
from
thence
passed
the
Alpes
,
and
within
10.
dayes
after
came
to
Venice
,
hauing
a
purpose
from
thence
,
to
take
his
course
to
Ferrara
,
in
aydance
of
the
Duke
against
the
Pope
.
But
the
matter
being
before
compounded
,
and
agreed
betwéene
them
,
that
iourney
was
stayed
.
He
continued
for
the
space
of
10
weekes
in
Venice
,
where
the
Duke
gaue
him
Princely
entertainment
▪
sending
a
mightie
and
Courtly
banquet
vnto
him
,
of
al
sorts
,
of
Italian
delicates
:
but
being
soone
tyred
with
the
pleasures
of
Venice
,
in
May
following
,
hauing
with
others
compounded
for
one
Italian
shippe
,
in
one
and
twentie
dayes
he
landed
in
an
Island
called
Zane
.
In
which
time
hee
was
much
distressed
for
want
of
victuals
,
certaine
Italians
being
in
the
shippe
,
vsing
them
vnkindly
,
of
whome
they
could
not
get
any
for
loue
or
money
.
Howbeit
some
Persians
that
were
likewise
in
the
shippe
,
releeued
them
,
and
did
very
kindly
supplie
their
wants
.
There
fell
also
a
iarre
betwéen
the
English
,
and
the
Italians
,
about
the
baffeling
of
one
of
their
Countrey
,
for
wordes
of
Contumely
,
spoken
against
the
late
Quéenes
Maiestie
,
which
in
the
end
was
pacified
to
the
disgrace
of
the
Italians
,
and
the
honour
of
the
English
.
At
Zane
he
stayed
10.
dayes
,
&
was
driuen
to
take
Sea
in
a
little
old
open
boate
,
in
which
he
passed
with
danger
into
the
Isle
of
Candie
,
where
he
stay
.
12.
dayes
,
and
was
honourably
intreated
of
the
Gouernour
of
that
Isle
,
it
being
vnder
the
Venetian
State
.
From
thence
he
passed
into
the
Isle
of
Ciprus
,
which
is
part
of
the
Turkes
Dominions
:
Here
the
Italians
that
before
had
iarred
with
them
in
the
shippe
(
being
landed
before
them
in
the
Island
,
and
bearing
in
mind
their
old
grudge
)
had
so
incensed
the
Inhabitants
of
Ciprus
against
Sir
Anthony
,
and
his
company
,
by
telling
them
that
they
were
Pirates
,
and
Rouers
,
wayting
onely
for
prey
and
spoyle
:
that
Sir
Anthony
and
his
company
were
no
sooner
landed
,
but
they
were
stayed
by
the
Turkes
,
and
threatned
to
be
sent
prisoners
to
Constantinople
,
but
this
storme
was
with
a
little
money
soone
ouerblowne
.
From
Ciprus
hee
purposed
to
passe
into
the
holy
Land
,
and
had
hyred
a
little
boate
of
some
tenne
tunne
for
that
passage
,
but
contrary
windes
droue
him
vpon
Trypoly
,
passing
the
famous
riuer
of
Orontes
,
where
they
were
driuen
to
endure
many
villanies
,
and
approbrious
speeches
by
the
Turkes
that
dwelt
vpon
the
borders
of
that
Riuer
.
From
hence
he
sent
to
Antioch
,
to
hire
certaine
Ianissaries
to
safeconduit
him
to
Aleppo
,
being
6.
dayes
iourney
.
At
Aleppo
he
was
much
honoured
,
and
respected
by
the
English
Consull
,
and
other
Marchants
there
resident
.
Sir
Anthony
stayed
at
Aleppo
6.
weekes
,
after
which
,
hauing
receiued
the
Bashaws
passe
,
(
which
is
gouernour
of
that
place
)
together
with
the
Consuls
,
and
Vicconsuls
for
their
safeconduit
,
through
the
heart
of
Turkes
Countrie
,
hee
prosecuted
his
iournie
through
the
heart
of
Turkie
,
which
he
found
to
bee
much
vnanswerable
for
the
strength
and
populausnes
,
to
the
report
and
opinion
that
the
world
conceiues
of
it
.
From
Aleppo
he
came
to
a
towne
called
Birrah
,
by
which
runnes
the
famous
riuer
of
Euphrates
,
that
parteth
the
two
Countries
of
Mesopotamia
,
and
Syria
:
From
hence
after
7.
or
8.
dayes
tarriance
,
hee
sailed
in
the
company
of
certaine
Turkish
Marchchants
along
Euphrates
,
by
the
space
of
2.
or
3.
&
twentie
dayes
,
and
were
stayed
by
the
King
of
Arabs
,
(
his
Court
and
abiding
being
at
that
time
vpon
the
Riuer
side
in
Tents
)
Before
whome
,
Sir
Anthony
and
his
company
being
brought
(
after
they
had
kist
his
hands
)
he
demanded
what
they
were
?
Answere
being
made
they
were
English
Marchants
,
and
come
to
trafficke
in
those
parts
:
the
King
was
very
desirous
to
see
their
Marchandize
,
which
they
not
daring
to
contradict
;
hee
borrowed
without
any
specialtie
,
thirtie
yardes
of
the
richest
cloth
of
siluer
,
to
be
payed
,
ad
Calendas
Graecas
.
From
thence
hee
iournied
to
Babylon
,
where
,
by
the
Bashaw
,
all
his
goodes
were
stayd
,
and
arrested
to
bee
sold
at
his
rate
:
&
they
were
constrayned
to
take
halfe
that
they
were
worth
for
payment
.
Hee
also
extorted
a
great
deale
of
plate
from
Sir
Anthony
,
made
of
pure
Emerald
,
which
hee
pretended
to
send
as
a
present
to
the
Persian
King
.
Hauing
stayed
a
monteh
or
more
in
Babylon
,
hee
receiued
Letters
from
Aleppo
,
wherein
hee
was
councelled
to
make
what
hast
hee
could
from
thence
,
for
that
their
were
letters
shortly
to
come
to
Babylon
,
by
which
the
Bashaw
had
a
strict
commaund
to
make
stay
of
him
,
and
all
his
company
:
whereupon
sit
Anthony
made
what
hast
he
could
out
of
Babylon
,
being
both
wearie
of
his
entertainment
there
,
&
throughly
weakned
with
this
newes
,
and
so
passed
through
the
waste
Countrey
of
the
Medes
,
in
company
of
a
Carauan
,
which
is
a
great
many
Camels
together
,
and
men
to
driue
them
not
much
vnlike
to
our
English
Carriars
.
Within
sixe
dayes
after
they
entred
the
Consines
of
Persia.
Of
Sir
Anthony
Sherleys
entertainment
in
Persia
,
and
of
his
imployments
to
many
Christian
Princes
,
to
ioyne
in
League
against
the
Turke
.
TO
set
downe
the
whole
proces
of
Sir
Anthony
his
voiages
and
trauels
,
both
by
Sea
,
and
Land
,
with
his
variable
fortunes
in
them
,
from
the
time
of
his
departure
out
of
England
,
till
his
comming
into
Persia
,
and
the
manner
of
his
receiuing
,
and
vsage
in
seuerall
Courts
of
many
forraine
Princes
,
were
a
Subiect
of
it selfe
,
fit
for
a
large
volume
,
which
happely
my selfe
or
some
other
more
worthy
(
vpon
better
intelligence
of
the
occurrents
thereof
)
may
hereafter
publish
to
the
world
,
as
a
matter
worthy
of
memoriall
.
I
will
now
relate
his
comming
into
Persia
,
his
honorable
entertainment
there
,
and
high
imployments
in
those
partes
,
according
to
the
notes
&
instructions
I
haue
receiued
.
Sir
Anthony
after
his
long
and
wearie
iourneis
,
at
last
entered
the
King
of
Persia
his
Countrey
,
hauing
his
brother
Robert
Sherly
in
his
company
,
who
still
continued
with
him
in
all
his
trauels
,
a
kind
and
naturall
partaker
of
all
his
fortunes
.
He
found
his
entertainment
good
,
the
climate
healthfully
,
the
soyle
fruitfull
;
and
full
of
pleasure
;
the
people
ciuill
,
and
very
gentle
;
farre
differing
from
the
nature
of
the
Turkes
,
whose
Countrey
hee
had
already
passed
:
Insomuch
that
hee
wondred
with
himselfe
,
that
being
so
little
difference
(
as
there
is
)
betweene
them
in
climate
,
there
should
be
so
great
diuersitie
in
condition
.
The
borderers
vnderstanding
that
his
comming
was
to
their
King
,
attended
him
with
the
more
regard
,
and
obseruance
,
and
still
as
he
past
,
sent
past
before
to
the
principall
Officers
of
their
townes
,
and
citties
,
to
giue
notice
of
his
comming
,
where
he
wanted
not
any
thing
that
was
worthy
of
acceptance
,
both
for
himselfe
,
and
his
traine
.
When
he
came
neere
Casbin
(
their
Capital
city
in
those
parts
)
he
sent
word
to
the
principall
Gouernor
,
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
what
he
was
,
and
that
hee
was
come
to
see
the
King
,
hearing
of
his
worth
.
Whereupon
the
Gouernour
prepared
one
of
the
Kings
horses
for
him
,
richly
furnished
,
and
appointed
many
gentleman
of
the
best
reckoning
to
entertaine
him
But
Sir
Anthony
not
desirous
of
any
solemne
entertainment
,
beeing
in
his
trauelling
apparell
,
(
his
carriage
yet
behinde
)
and
vnfurnished
of
shewe
,
stole
by
night
at
vnawares
into
the
citie
.
Howbeit
the
Gouernor
,
the
next
morning
,
accompanied
with
diuers
of
the
chiefe
Gentlemen
of
the
Kings
house
,
with
certaine
Officers
also
of
the
Citie
,
came
to
his
lodging
,
where
after
many
Courtly
salutations
,
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Countrey
,
hee
told
him
,
he
was
welcom
,
and
that
his
presence
would
be
very
gratious
,
and
acceptable
to
the
King
:
in
whose
absence
,
hee
should
not
want
those
things
,
which
either
his
owne
worth
deserued
,
or
the
citie
could
affoard
,
for
his
pleasure
,
or
prouision
:
and
that
hee
would
speedily
direct
Posts
vnto
the
King
(
who
was
then
in
Person
in
the
warres
of
the
Tartarians
,
his
borderers
)
to
inform
his
Maiestie
of
his
comming
:
and
that
in
the
meane
time
he
would
rest
,
and
solace
himselfe
in
the
Citie
.
Sir
Anthony
gaue
him
thanks
,
and
after
some
complement
between
them
,
they
parted
for
the
cime
each
from
other
.
The
next
day
,
a
post
was
dispatched
to
the
King
to
giue
him
notice
,
that
a
Christian
,
a

of
some
account
and
reckoning
,
very
well
accompanied

vnderstanding
of
his
great
fame
and
power
,
was
come
from
farre
to
see
him
,
and
to
doe

honour
.
The
King
sent
word
backe
,
that
he
should
be
well
intreated
,
vntill
his
owne

.
In
which
meane
time

the

and

signes
and
tokens
of

were

him
.
Hauing
entered
the
citie
,
and
the
state

of
the
triumph
beeing
that
time
to
be
performed
,
according
to
the
custome
,
in
honour
of
the
late
succesull
victorie
,
the

commaunded

the
solemne

.
Which
done
,
and
the
King
repaired
to
his
Palace
,
he
caused
Sir
Anthony
to
bee
brought
before
him
:
who
beeing
by
the
Kings
appointment
,
and
his
brother
placed
neere
vnto
him
,
sitting
vpon
his
Throne
,
where
he
discoursed
vnto
the
Sophi
of
Persia
,
his
countrey
,
the
state
,
power
,
&
Maiestie
of
his
Prince
,
the
religion
,
and
conditions
of
the
people
,
the
manner
of
gouernment
,
with
the
nature
and
discipline
of
their
warres
:
then
he
descended
to
particularize
the
cause
,
and
the
seuerall
occurrents
of
his
Trauels
:
Lastly
,
he
declared
the
speciall
matter
and
occasion
that
drew
him
into
Persia
:
namely
the
fame
and
renowne
that
he
heard
of
his
Actes
and
Gouernment
,
and
the
inueterate
hatred
hee
bare
vnto
the
Turkes
.
The
King
was
highly
pleased
with
his
discourse
,
and
al
this
while
hauing
well
obserued
his
speech
,
gesture
,
and
countenance
,
hee
held
him
in
his
conceipt
to
bee
of
very
honourable
reckoning
,
which
after
Princely
thankes
giuen
,
and
many
graces
and
fauours
showne
,
hee
made
manifest
:
for
he
tooke
Sir
Anthony
by
the
hand
,
&
leade
him
into
other
inward
Chambers
,
where
beeing
that
night
royally
feasted
,
hee
was
after
Supper
by
many
principall
Gentlemen
of
the
Court
,
conuayed
and
attended
to
his
lodging
,
which
in
a
farre
more
sumptuous
manner
then
before
,
was
newly
prouided
for
him
.
Not
many
daies
after
,
the
Persian
King
sent
him
a
rich
and
costly
present
by
his
Steward
,
to
demonstrate
his
loue
,
and
the
account
and
estimation
he
had
of
him
.
Of
the
Manners
,
Conditions
,
and
Customes
of
the
Persians
.
OUr
English
nation
within
these
fewe
yeares
,
by
reason
of
their
trauels
(
wherein
I
suppose
they
are
at
this
day
second
to
no
countrey
)
haue
such
knowledge
,
and
experience
of
all
people
,
of
their
customs
and
conditions
,
that
it
is
an
easie
matter
to
controll
a
writer
,
that
discourseth
only
vppon
report
,
except
he
be
truly
and
directly
instructed
,
but
so
farre
as
I
haue
read
&
heard
by
the
testimony
of
such
persons
as
knowe
somwhat
,
(
&
haue
little
cause
to
say
more
then
they
know
)
I
will
be
bolde
,
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
those
that
are
ignorant
,
in
some
sort
,
to
relate
the
Manners
&
Conditions
of
the
Persians
,
as
not
impertinent
to
this
present
purpose
.
For
their
deuotion
,
it
is
much
after
the
Turkish
ceremonies
,
their
Priests
somewhat
differing
in
their
Orders
,
and
habit
,
their
Temples
and
religious
places
,
much
after
their
building
and
fashion
.
The
Persian
praieth
to
Mahomet
,
and
Mortus
Ally
,
The
Turkes
both
to
them
,
and
three
others
,
that
were
Mahomets
seruants
:
against
which
three
,
the
Persian
still
inueighs
,
and
is
an
enemie
.
Their
conceit
of
Christ
,
is
,
that
hee
was
a
great
Prophet
,
a
most
holy
and
religious
man
,
beloued
of
God
,
&
mighty
both
in
deed
and
word
,
but
no
way
to
bee
compared
to
Mahomet
,
for
Mahomet
(
say
they
)
was
that
most
excellent
and
final
Prophet
,
through
whose
grace
,
vertue
,
and
power
,
all
things
concerning
the
Resurrection
,
and
saluation
,
are
made
full
and
perfect
.
Further
being
onely
gouerned
by
Naturall
and
Carnal
knowledge
,
and
wanting
the
illumination
of
Gods
heauenly
and
powerfull
Spirit
to
lighten
the
vnderstanding
part
of
the
Soule
,
with
the
inward
apprehension
of
the
excellent
misteries
of
faith
,
and
mans
redemption
,
they
affirme
,
that
because
God
had
neuer
no
wife
,
nor
neuer
knew
woman
,
it
was
therefore
impossible
that
Christ
could
be
his
sonne
:
So
hard
a
matter
it
is
for
naturall
reason
to
comprehend
the
misteries
of
Faith
.
And
therefore
as
Pallengenius
saith
in
his
Zodiake
:
Succumbat
ratio
fidei
,
et
Captiua
quiescat
.
But
to
leaue
their
religion
to
themselues
,
and
their
conuersion
to
his
diuine
power
that
hath
their
hearts
in
his
disposing
,
let
vs
speake
a
little
of
the
commodities
that
their
Country
affords
.
They
haue
great
plentie
of
silkes
of
all
colours
,
great
store
of
spices
,
drugs
,
pearles
,
and
pretious
stones
,
Carpets
they
make
of
diuers
kindes
,
in
which
workes
they
are
excellent
.
Their
principal
marchandise
among
themselues
,
is
,
to
buy
and
sell
men
and
women
in
their
markets
,
They
are
a
people
for
the
most
part
vnlearned
,
ignorant
in
all
kind
of
liberall
Sciences
,
yet
are
they
good
warriours
,
polliticke
and
valiant
,
obseruing
order
,
and
discipline
,
they
haue
heretofore
beene
held
a
people
fierce
and
vnciuill
,
little
better
then
the
Turkes
;
But
of
late
they
are
growne
very
courteous
,
and
respectiue
vnto
strangers
,
by
whose
conuersation
they
haue
much
bettred
their
manners
&
conditions
.
Certaine
Townes
and
Prouinces
,
belonging
to
the
Persian
,
bordering
vpon
the
Turkes
,
were
lost
by
this
Kings
predecessors
,
which
he
hopeth
to
recouer
,
being
now
better
able
then
euer
they
were
,
or
he
himselfe
hath
beene
in
times
past
,
for
he
hath
lately
taken
in
certaine
other
Townes
,
vpon
the
frontiers
of
the
Turke
,
that
will
much
aduantage
him
,
whensoeuer
he
begins
to
warre
.
For
the
vndertaking
whereof
,
Sir
Anthony
ceased
not
,
during
the
time
he
lay
in
the
Cittie
,
by
all
importune
meanes
,
and
forcible
reasons
,
to
animate
and
incense
the
Persian
:
alleaging
how
easie
a
matter
it
were
for
him
,
by
his
meanes
,
being
a
Christian
,
to
ioyne
many
of
the
Christian
Princes
,
his
borderers
,
in
League
and
friendship
with
him
,
&
draw
them
to
the
assistance
of
these
wars
,
both
with
supplies
in
his
owne
Countrey
,
and
also
with
powerfull
inuasions
in
many
other
places
of
the
Turkes
dominions
,
farre
remote
:
that
hee
being
thus
driuen
to
sunder
his
forces
into
many
partes
,
his
armie
should
bee
the
weaker
against
Persia
,
&
hee
himselfe
being
the
head
of
this
League
and
combination
,
would
be
the
surer
guarded
.
He
further
alleaged
how
honourable
,
and
easie
it
would
be
for
him
not
onely
to
recouer
those
his
Townes
and
Prouinces
,
which
now
the
Turke
holds
in
his
possession
:
But
be
also
able
in
short
time
to
winne
vpon
him
euen
in
his
owne
Countrey
,
and
that
no
time
could
bee
fitter
then
now
,
for
that
of
late
hauing
obtained
a
great
victory
against
the
Tartars
hee
had
no
cause
to
feare
them
,
they
being
so
weakned
with
their
ouerthrowe
,
that
it
was
an
easie
matter
for
his
garrisons
being
manned
,
to
keepe
them
from
all
incursions
,
or
other
Acts
of
hostilitie
.
The
Persian
being
tickled
with
this
deuise
,
and
proiect
of
Sir
Anthonies
,
set
the
Lordes
a
worke
in
councell
and
consultation
of
this
ouerture
,
whilst
he
himself
in
wordes
and
opinion
gaue
his
approbation
,
hauing
now
nothing
in
his
conceipt
,
and
phantasie
,
but
plots
,
draughts
,
and
stratagems
,
concerning
this
warre
,
and
there
was
not
a
day
past
ouer
his
head
,
but
hee
would
send
for
Sir
Anthony
and
his
brother
,
to
conferre
with
him
about
these
matters
,
sometimes
at
midnight
into
his
bedde
chamber
:
at
last
the
King
and
his
Councell
fully
concluded
and
resolued
to
further
these
dessignes
,
and
negotiations
in
what
they
might
,
and
by
a
speciall
direction
from
the
King
,
and
a
generall
consent
of
all
,
Sir
Anthony
was
made
choise
of
,
as
a
man
most
fit
for
these
imployments
:
not
onely
for
that
he
was
a
Christian
,
and
so
might
the
rather
induce
the
friends
of
his
religion
,
to
the
vndertaking
of
this
worthie
enterprize
;
but
also
that
he
had
such
an
assured
trust
,
&
confidence
in
his
wisedome
,
and
resolution
,
that
hee
thought
nothing
could
miscarry
wherein
he
was
imployed
.
So
the
managing
of
that
was
committed
to
Sir
Anthony
,
and
a
greatman
of
Persia
appointed
to
accompany
him
;
but
the
whole
burthen
of
that
imploymentt
,
obee
vpon
Sir
Anthony
,
who
vndertooke
it
.
This
concluded
,
they
resolued
to
depart
,
and
to
take
their
iourney
from
the
Persian
Court
,
to
some
conuenient
place
,
where
they
might
bee
imbarked
to
passe
the
Caspian
Seas
:
for
their
intent
was
first
to
the
Emperour
of
Russia
,
and
so
forward
to
other
Princes
.
To
shew
how
he
was
entertained
in
the
seuerall
Courts
of
such
Christian
Princes
,
as
hee
had
to
deale
withall
in
those
affaires
,
is
needles
,
for
it
may
bee
imagined
,
his
entertainment
to
bee
so
great
and
honorable
,
as
befitted
the
State
of
such
worthy
imployment
.
All
things
sorted
to
his
desire
,
&
expectation
,
but
that
this
crosse
fell
by
the
way
,
namely
a
iarre
betweene
Sir
Anthony
and
the
Perasin
,
that
accompanied
him
,
who
striued
for
the
first
place
of
that
Embassage
,
albeit
the
dispose
thereof
was
wholy
committed
to
the
order
and
discretion
of
Sir
Anthony
:
But
his
high
Spirit
not
borne
to
brooke
such
indignitie
,
did
so
thwart
the
Persian
in
his
pride
,
as
that
he
followed
his
daring
presumption
euen
to
his
deepe
disgrace
.
Of
the
Manners
and
Fashions
of
the
Turkes
.
THere
are
two
sorts
of
Turkes
:
the
natural
Turke
,
and
the
Renegado
.
The
Naturall
Turke
hath
his
originall
in
Scithia
,
not
farre
from
the
Caspian
Seas
,
and
they
are
,
&
haue
beene
euer
the
most
inhumane
of
all
other
Barbarians
.
Their
manner
of
liuing
is
for
the
most
part
vnciuill
,
and
vitious
.
For
their
vices
,
they
are
all
Pagans
,
and
Infidels
,
Sodomites
,
and
Liars
.
They
are
a
very
scornefull
people
,
and
their
pride
is
so
great
,
as
it
is
not
possible
to
be
described
.
Next
that
,
followeth
their
crueltie
;
in
which
their
Kings
exceed
,
Nero
,
Calliggula
,
or
any
other
Tyrant
whatsoeuer
.
They
take
pleasure
in
bloodie
delights
,
and
to
see
men
put
to
death
:
For
their
breach
of
promise
,
they
hold
it
an
high
,
and
commendable
vertue
:
for
they
say
,
if
a
man
speake
what
hee
thinketh
,
his
purposes
will
be
preuented
.
Touching
their
Iustice
,
that
is
the
most
ordinary
Marchandize
,
that
is
bought
and
sold
amongst
them
.
For
first
the
great
Turke
selleth
all
his
offices
,
and
gouernments
to
such
Bashaws
as
will
giue
most
for
them
:
And
the
chiefe
Visior
Bashaw
sitteth
euen
in
Iudgement
:
If
any
other
Bashaw
offer
no
little
more
then
he
giueth
for
his
place
,
the
Tyrant
will
presently
send
,
and
cut
off
his
head
without
any
further
circumstance
.
So
did
he
to
Mustapha
Bashaw
,
the
last
of
December
1604.
and
to
Hashan
Bashaw
in
September
1605.
Their
Renegadoes
are
for
the
most
part
Roagues
,
and
the
skum
of
the
people
,
which
being
villaines
and
Atheists
,
vnable
to
liue
in
Christendome
,
are
fled
to
the
Turkes
for
succour
,
and
releefe
.
And
of
these
are
most
of
the
Bashawes
made
.
Their
auncient
respect
is
now
quite
lost
,
and
weakened
,
because
the
arrogance
of
this
king
,
and
the
dissolute
negligence
of
his
three
Predecessors
,
Selim
,
Amureth
,
and
Mahomet
,
haue
caused
the
Turkes
to
loose
the
awfull
regard
,
which
they
vsed
to
beare
their
King
in
former
times
.
His
chiefest
forces
by
land
consist
of
Ianizaries
:
these
Ianizaries
are
al
made
of
the
sonnes
of
Christians
,
that
are
taken
from
their
Parents
,
when
they
are
very
young
,
and
are
called
Tribute
children
.
They
are
at
the
first
diuided
into
two
sorts
,
when
they
are
first
brought
to
Constantinople
,
&
Adrianople
:
for
in
these
parts
,
they
are
brought
vp
.
The
one
sort
,
the
Turkes
call
Hitch
Oglandes
:
of
them
are
made
the
Sphayes
.
These
are
horsemen
,
and
haue
fifteen
Aspers
a
day
,
he
that
hath
most
:
but
many
of
them
but
twelue
.
The
other
are
called
Iam
Oglandes
,
of
these
are
made
the
Ianizaries
:
no
Ianizarie
hath
aboue
nine
Aspers
a
day
:
many
of
them
but
fiue
.
The
manner
of
the
fights
the
Turkes
vse
,
are
strange
,
and
altogether
vnsouldierlike
,
for
they
are
all
vnarmed
,
and
the
horsemen
haue
for
weapons
,
a
Launce
de
gay
,
a
bowe
and
arrowes
,
and
a
Semitary
,
which
is
their
best
weapon
.
They
weare
no
armor
,
nor
euer
fight
in
ranke
,
or
troope
,
but
disperse
themselues
,
and
come
to
fight
more
like
men
that
would
play
at
iogo
de
taro
,
or
iogo
de
caro
,
then
Souldiers
.
Of
the
foote
:
the
Ianisaries
doe
vse
a
certain
peece
,
as
long
as
a
Musket
,
and
the
hight
of
a
Calliuer
,
which
makes
it
carrie
farre
:
they
haue
very
good
Match
there
,
but
no
good
powder
,
but
what
they
haue
got
from
ouerthrowne
Christians
,
or
els
brought
them
out
of
England
.
The
other
sort
carrie
halfe
Pikes
,
or
short
axes
,
and
their
bodies
vnarmed
.
The
Turkes
are
beyond
all
measure
,
a
most
insolent
,
superbous
,
and
insulting
people
,
euer
prest
to
offer
outrage
to
any
Christian
,
if
he
bee
not
well
guarded
with
Ianisaries
.
They
sit
at
meat
,
as
Tailors
vpon
their
stalls
,
crosse
legged
,
and
their
meat
serued
them
vpon
the
ground
,
passing
the
day
for
the
most
part
in
banquetting
,
and
carousing
.
They
will
not
permit
a
Christian
to
come
within
their
Churches
,
for
they
hold
their
prophane
and
irreligious
Sanctuaries
defiled
thereby
.
They
haue
no
vse
of
belles
,
but
some
Priest
three
times
in
the
day
mounts
to
the
top
of
their
Church
,
and
with
a
lowd
voice
cries
out
,
&
inuocates
Mahomet
to
come
in
haste
,
for
they
haue
long
expected
his
second
comming
.
They
that
haue
passed
through
the
heart
of
the
Turks
Countrey
,
report
the
strength
thereof
to
be
very
small
,
&
that
if
the
Christian
Princes
knew
as
much
as
they
do
,
that
in
their
Trauels
with
all
circumspection
obserued
it
,
doubtlesse
they
would
with
no
great
difficultie
vtterly
suppresse
him
,
or
at
the
least
,
so
put
him
to
the
worse
,
that
they
would
constraine
him
to
embrace
the
Christian
faith
,
and
rest
at
their
deuotion
:
or
else
remooue
his
seat
from
the
help
land
,
and
parts
adiacent
.
To
giue
a
taste
how
probable
this
is
,
they
alleadge
that
in
all
Palestine
,
and
Syria
,
there
are
but
one
thousand
and
fiue
hundreth
Ianisaries
,
that
guard
the
cities
of
Aleppo
,
Damascus
,
Antioch
,
and
Ierusalem
:
as
for
Grand-cagro
they
are
not
able
to
stirre
,
for
diuers
Arabs
that
lie
in
the
hills
betwixt
Ierusalem
and
it
:
Betweene
whom
,
and
those
Turkes
of
Grand-cagro
,
there
is
a
deadly
emnitie
.
As
for
Babylon
and
Balsera
,
they
haue
like
wise
continuall
warres
with
those
Arabs
of
Arabia
Foelix
.
Besides
,
there
are
a
great
number
of
Christians
borne
,
and
bred
in
those
parts
,
which
would
most
willingly
be
assisting
for
their
liberties
.
Sir
Anthony
his
receiuing
into
Prague
,
by
Rodolphus
,
Emperour
of
Germanie
.
SIr
Anthony
failing
of
his
expectation
in
Russia
,
made
what
haste
he
could
in
Germany
,
but
for
want
of
true
instructions
,
we
must
let
slip
his
occurrents
in
the
way
,
and
with
a
pace
as
swift
as
thought
,
bring
him
from
Russia
to
Prague
.
The
Emperour
vnderstanding
of
his
comming
,
(
as
wheresoeuer
he
came
,
his
fame
went
still
before
him
)
commanded
13.
Coaches
to
be
sent
for
him
,
the
Persian
,
and
their
traine
.
There
came
also
to
meete
him
,
and
to
doe
him
honor
,
at
least
fiue
thousand
men
,
whereof
the
most
of
them
were
Coronels
,
Captaines
,
Lieutenants
,
and
Gentlemen
of
note
and
account
,
together
with
many
of
the
Nobilitie
;
and
with
his
traine
and
attendance
hee
was
brought
with
solemne
&
obseruant
state
and
regard
into
the
citie
of
Prague
:
where
beeing
royally
entertained
in
the
Emperours
Court
,
and
hauing
deliuered
the
purport
and
tenor
of
his
Embassie
,
found
al
things
answerable
to
his
worth
and
the
weight
of
his
affaires
.
His
lodging
,
together
with
the
Persian
,
was
prouided
in
a
faire
house
,
not
farre
from
the
Court
,
they
were
serued
all
in
plate
parcel
gilt
,
but
in
diuers
manner
,
according
to
the
seuerall
customs
of
their
Countreys
.
Hee
lay
in
Prague
at
least
halfe
a
yeare
,
in
all
which
time
,
hee
found
nothing
but
Reuels
,
Feastings
,
and
other
pleasures
of
Court
.
Whensoeuer
he
went
abroad
,
he
had
allowed
him
by
the
Emperours
appointment
,
a
faire
coach
drawne
with
6.
horses
:
the
Persian
had
the
like
,
but
still
Sir
Anthony
had
the
chiefest
place
and
regard
,
which
was
the
onely
cause
of
the
often
iarres
and
breaches
that
was
between
them
:
for
the
Persian
beeing
haughtie
and
ambitions
,
would
many
times
in
his
pride
,
and
insulting
humor
,
as
well
openly
in
wordes
,
and
behauiours
,
as
closely
vnder
hand
with
plots
and
deuises
,
attempt
many
things
to
bring
Sir
Anthony
into
disgrace
,
which
still
was
reuealed
,
and
in
the
end
reuenged
,
euen
by
his
owne
Prince
,
in
his
owne
country
,
as
you
shall
afterwards
heare
,
to
Sir
Anthonyes
honor
,
and
the
Persians
shame
and
confusion
.
But
to
returne
:
hauing
taken
his
leaue
of
the
Emperour
in
all
reuerend
and
solemne
manner
,
he
came
from
thence
to
Norremberge
,
where
,
by
his
welcom
and
costly
entertainment
,
the
citizens
shewed
what
account
&
estimation
they
helde
of
him
:
where
also
,
besides
many
stately
banquets
,
and
rich
presents
,
they
bare
all
his
charges
for
foure
dates
;
and
at
his
departure
,
they
presented
two
cups
of
gold
,
the
one
to
Sir
Anthony
,
the
other
to
the
Persian
.
Howbeit
the
lining
of
Sir
Anthony
his
cup
,
was
better
then
the
outside
,
for
it
was
stuft
full
of
gold
.
Hauing
taken
his
leaue
at
Norremberge
,
he
came
to
Augusta
,
where
he
was
well
entertained
:
from
thence
to
Minikin
,
where
also
the
Duke
of
Bauier
gaue
him
great
entertainment
.
From
Minikin
he
cam
to
Insbrooke
,
where
stands
the
stately
house
of
Austria
:
from
thence
to
Trent
,
and
so
to
Rome
:
in
all
which
places
,
hee
still
found
his
entertainment
beyond
expectation
.
At
Rome
the
Persian
and
hee
fell
againe
at
oddes
,
about
superioritie
,
where
Sir
Anthony
plainly
told
him
,
that
he
had
many
times
borne
with
his
prowde
and
insolent
behauiours
,
more
then
stood
with
his
own
honor
,
and
naturall
condition
,
onely
for
the
furtherance
of
the
negotiations
they
had
in
hand
,
which
since
(
saith
he
)
you
haue
done
what
lies
in
your
power
to
crosse
,
obseruing
rather
your
own
ambitious
humor
,
then
the
nature
,
and
qualitie
of
our
imployments
,
I
will
giue
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
from
henceforth
I
will
take
a
more
strickt
note
,
and
vse
a
more
peremptory
controlement
,
both
of
your
words
,
gestures
,
and
actions
,
and
you
shall
learne
to
know
I
am
your
superiour
,
and
that
I
doe
nothing
that
becomes
me
not
,
both
in
the
worthinesse
of
mine
owne
person
,
and
in
the
vertue
and
authoritie
of
my
commission
.
The
Persian
beeing
thus
gauled
,
hauing
neither
a
mind
to
suffer
,
nor
a
heart
to
rauenge
,
in
a
sullen
maner
departed
from
Sir
Antho.
&
tooke
his
iourney
towards
Persia
,
plotting
and
deuising
by
the
way
all
means
he
could
to
article
against
Sir
Anthony
,
letting
nothing
slip
either
from
his
owne
mischieuous
conceit
,
or
the
false
and
malicious
suggestions
and
informations
of
his
followers
,
to
bring
Sir
Anthony
into
contempt
with
his
King
.
But
as
many
a
man
digges
a
pit
for
others
,
and
fals
into
it
himselfe
:
so
this
vnhappy
Persian
,
supposing
he
had
carried
the
poyson
of
Sir
Anthonies
disgrace
,
brought
in
his
heart
the
haue
of
his
owne
vndoing
:
for
being
come
to
Court
,
and
hauing
deliuered
before
the
Persian
King
in
the
presence
of
Ma.
Robert
Sherley
the
whole
processe
of
their
trauels
,
hee
did
in
a
particular
manner
,
and
with
an
enuious
and
a
malicious
tongue
preferre
his
suborned
,
and
suggested
accusations
against
Sir
Anthony
:
which
Robert
Sherley
hearing
with
countenance
and
wordes
,
both
befitting
himself
and
his
wronged
brother
,
humbly
besought
the
King
,
that
there
might
be
an
indifferent
hearing
of
this
matter
,
and
himselfe
admitted
to
pleade
his
brothers
cause
:
which
being
graunted
,
he
did
so
trip
&
confound
the
Persian
in
his
informations
,
that
being
found
guilty
in
the
breach
of
his
Commission
,
and
that
hee
had
demeaned
himselfe
in
these
great
affaires
with
actes
and
behauiours
derogatorie
to
the
honour
of
his
King
,
and
daungerous
to
the
effecting
of
so
great
a
businesse
,
his
accusations
also
against
Sir
Anthony
sauouring
of
malice
,
and
not
of
truth
,
he
was
finally
doomed
by
the
king
to
haue
his
hands
cut
off
,
and
his
tongue
cut
out
,
in
the
presence
of
M.
Robert
Sherley
,
who
being
demaunded
what
he
would
haue
more
done
vnto
him
,
in
the
reuenge
of
his
brothers
wrong
,
he
answered
that
he
tooke
no
delight
in
his
torment
;
and
that
which
was
already
done
,
was
more
then
he
was
willing
,
or
consenting
to
:
and
that
now
he
would
〈◊〉
in
the
behalfe
of
the
miserable
Persian
,
for
that
he
supposed
there
could
not
bée
in
his
case
a
greater
pleasure
done
vnto
him
,
than
to
haue
his
head
follow
the
fortune
of
his
tongue
and
hands
.
Thus
ended
at
one
time
both
the
pride
and
life
of
this
vnhappy
Persian
.
Of
Sir
Anthony
Sherleyes
Voyage
and
Trauels
into
Spaine
,
with
his
entertainement
there
.
MAn
in
regard
of
his
mind
and
body
,
being
compared
to
Heauen
and
Earth
,
is
said
to
bee
a
little
world
:
the
one
subiect
to
corruption
,
the
other
to
immortalitie
.
Gold
and
siluer
therefore
,
which
Saint
Bernard
calleth
Terra
rubra
&
alba
,
are
not
said
to
bee
the
riches
of
the
mind
,
but
vertue
is
her
diuine
substance
:
by
the
power
whereof
shee
doth
extinguish
that
immoderate
fire
of
sence
and
appetite
,
wherwith
mans
Nature
is
dangerously
inflamed
,
drawing
it
to
bee
gouerned
by
the
qualified
and
temperate
rule
of
reason
:
and
in
the
excellencie
of
her
owne
account
being
caried
aloft
with
her
celestiall
wings
(
her
obiect
being
drawn
another
way
)
she
either
beholds
not
or
doth
not
esteeme
the
riches
,
pleasures
,
and
profits
of
the
world
,
or
whatsoeuer
the
base
delights
and
erronious
desires
of
men
holds
to
bee
precious
.
From
hence
it
comes
,
that
hauing
the
bodies
gouernment
and
vertue
to
be
her
owne
guide
,
she
doth
so
rule
and
order
it
in
al
her
proiects
and
intendments
,
that
she
suffers
it
to
commit
nothing
vncomely
or
vnworthy
her
direction
:
but
with
a
mutuall
sympathy
and
agréement
they
passe
the
whole
progresse
of
this
life
,
shewing
themselues
in
all
their
desires
and
designes
,
to
bereligious
,
temperate
,
iust
,
honorable
and
worthy
the
image
of
their
Creator
.
They
are
not
seruilely
tyed
to
any
place
,
or
countrey
,
nor
lulled
with
the
delight
of
idlenesse
and
home-bred
pleasures
,
but
as
wel
to
enrich
the
intellectuall
part
with
knowledge
and
experience
,
as
also
to
exercise
the
body
with
the
practises
of
labour
,
and
grace
the
life
with
vertuous
attempts
,
they
seeke
out
other
climates
,
preferring
the
honourable
drift
of
their
desires
before
the
respect
of
life
,
or
whatsoeuer
is
deerest
vnto
man
.
And
thus
hauing
the
assistance
of
the
diuine
power
,
what
a
memoriall
do
they
leaue
behind
,
worthy
to
bee
recorded
to
all
posteritie
.
Such
was
Paulus
Aemylius
,
and
Publius
Cornelius
Scipio
,
who
in
their
hostile
employments
and
successefull
attempts
against
Perseus
and
Hanniball
,
the
two
obiects
of
their
honorable
emulations
,
and
the
daungerous
enemies
of
their
countrey
,
besides
their
valours
,
directions
,
policies
,
stratagemes
,
ordering
,
and
ending
of
the
warres
were
otherwise
:
also
euen
in
their
victories
,
and
all
their
ciuile
actions
so
temperate
and
so
vertuously
gouerned
,
that
at
their
returne
,
men
of
all
Countries
repaired
to
Rome
,
onely
to
sée
them
,
and
honour
them
,
as
men
excéeding
the
state
of
Mortalitie
.
And
when
I
compare
the
time
of
Sir
Anthony
Sherleyes
departure
out
of
England
,
together
with
those
great
attempts
he
hath
vndertaken
&
compassed
(
wherof
I
cannot
discourse
at
large
,
being
solemnely
instructed
)
I
am
drawne
to
wonder
,
that
neyther
the
desire
which
euery
man
naturally
hath
to
his
owne
Countrey
,
nor
the
ioyfull
welcomes
nor
honourable
entertaynements
that
attend
him
here
,
can
any
whit
stir
his
mind
,
or
draw
his
affections
from
his
purposed
intendements
against
the
Turke
,
as
well
to
shew
the
Christian
respect
he
beares
to
his
Religion
(
it
being
the
principall
Square
and
Rule
of
all
his
attempts
and
actions
)
as
also
to
make
god
his
promise
and
protestation
to
the
Persian
King
,
still
to
persist
in
stirring
vp
the
minds
and
powers
of
the
bordering
Kings
,
enemies
to
the
house
of
Ottoman
,
&
the
Turkish
Alcoran
,
that
there
is
a
great
hope
and
expectancie
in
short
time
to
see
a
sodain
darkning
and
eclipse
of
that
glaring
beautie
and
out
stretched
bounds
of
the
Turkish
Empire
.
Let
vs
therefore
attend
him
a
while
into
Spaine
(
hauing
already
passed
Russia
and
Germany
,
and
other
parts
)
where
,
being
entertayned
with
all
the
honour
of
the
Court
,
and
hauing
deliuered
his
Message
,
(
wherein
was
included
the
scope
and
purport
of
his
comming
thither
,
both
in
regard
therof
,
and
of
the
honorable
League
newly
made
,
and
likely
to
be
continued
betwixt
the
two
famous
Kings
of
England
and
Spaine
)
he
found
his
entertaynement
doubled
,
his
lodging
and
prouision
both
for
himselfe
and
his
retinue
in
sumptuous
manner
prepared
.
To
be
briefe
,
nothing
wanting
that
might
eyther
satisfie
the
delights
and
pleasures
of
an
honorable
Stranger
,
or
set
forth
the
state
and
Maiesty
of
so
great
a
Prince
.
But
Sir
Anthony
not
desirous
to
bury
his
thoughts
in
the
delights
of
the
Court
,
nor
sleeping
in
the
pleasures
of
that
flourishing
Kingdome
,
had
still
his
minde
waking
vpon
his
affaires
,
holding
al
time
mispent
that
was
not
spent
in
the
reuoluing
,
consulting
,
and
concluding
of
the
businesse
he
had
in
hand
,
that
his
toyling
minde
scarce
gaue
his
body
rest
,
so
great
a
desire
had
he
both
to
redeem
his
brother
,
whom
he
left
as
pledge
with
the
Persian
King
,
but
chiefly
to
restore
Religion
to
those
vnhappy
conquered
Kingdomes
by
the
Turke
,
where
now
the
holy
Churches
and
sanctified
Temples
of
our
Sauiour
are
changed
to
be
the
idolatrous
places
of
the
blasphemous
Synagogue
of
Mahomet
.
He
stayed
not
long
in
Spaine
,
before
the
King
installed
him
one
of
the
Knights
of
the
Honourable
Order
of
S.
Iago
,
and
created
him
Captaine
of
his
Galleyes
for
the
warres
against
the
Turkes
:
So
great
a
liking
and
loue
he
séemed
to
beare
as
well
to
his
person
,
as
to
the
State
and
condition
of
his
affaires
,
which
Sir
Anthony
at
all
conuenient
times
did
vrge
and
prosecute
,
pretermitting
no
occasion
that
might
still
stirre
vp
&
enflame
the
mind
of
this
young
King
with
an
honourable
desire
to
vndertake
this
warre
.
As
he
had
thus
many
honors
done
vnto
him
by
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
was
well
intreated
by
most
of
his
Nobility
,
so
was
he
as
much
crost
by
some
other
of
that
countrey
,
whom
he
had
fréed
from
captiuitie
.
For
hauing
by
suit
obtained
the
liberty
and
ransome
of
three
,
who
had
bin
taken
prisoners
:
the
said
prisoners
vpon
this
inlarged
,
and
Sir
Anthony
expecting
the
payment
of
their
ransomes
,
receiued
very
good
dealing
at
the
handes
of
two
of
them
:
But
the
other
vnthankfull
wretch
to
saue
the
ransome
which
he
was
to
pay
,
ministred
a
dramme
of
poyson
to
him
:
which
wrought
so
far
with
him
,
that
it
caused
both
the
haire
of
his
head
and
the
nayles
of
his
fingers
to
fall
off
;
but
yet
tooke
not
that
diuellish
effect
that
he
desired
:
for
in
short
time
he
recouered
,
and
God
restored
him
to
his
former
health
.
Sir
Anthony
his
expedition
into
Turkie
,
with
his
respectiue
kindnesse
done
to
an
English
Marchant
at
Lisborne
.
BUt
to
returne
to
Sir
Anthony
,
his
expedition
into
Turkie
being
thus
concluded
on
,
great
preparation
was
made
for
the
warre
:
Souldiors
and
Saylers
taken
vp
in
all
parts
;
prouision
for
armour
and
artillerie
,
rigging
of
ships
and
gallies
,
great
suite
for
places
of
commaund
&
offices
of
account
,
new
Coronels
,
Captaines
,
and
Lieutenants
made
:
In
all
which
,
Sir
Anthony
had
the
most
speciall
place
of
commaund
.
In
fine
,
his
Commission
was
signed
,
wherein
hee
was
established
Captaine
Generall
of
the
Nauie
,
consisting
of
200.
great
ships
,
besides
Gallies
,
and
many
other
smaller
vessels
for
prouision
,
and
30.
thousand
land
Souldiors
.
All
things
being
thus
in
a
readinesse
,
Sir
Anthony
repaired
to
the
Court
to
take
his
leaue
of
the
King
.
The
King
after
many
great
signes
&
tokens
of
grace
and
fauour
,
tooke
from
his
owne
necke
a
Iewel
of
great
price
,
with
the
picture
of
Philip
his
father
on
the
one
side
,
and
his
owne
on
the
other
,
and
deliuered
it
to
Sir
Anthony
with
these
wordes
:
When
you
looke
vpon
it
,
thinke
on
me
.
Sir
Anthony
receiuing
it
in
all
humble
and
thankfull
manner
,
protested
,
that
his
life
&
that
should
part
together
.
Thus
when
all
solemnities
and
complements
of
parting
were
ended
,
Sir
Anthony
made
what
hast
he
could
to
Lisborne
,
where
his
Army
stayed
his
comming
;
and
where
in
a
second
state
of
entertainement
he
found
his
welcome
beyond
expectation
.
But
the
winde
ioyning
with
the
necessitie
of
his
affaires
(
that
required
expedition
)
stayed
him
not
long
there
.
Howbeit
,
before
his
departure
from
Lisborne
,
wee
should
doe
him
wrong
,
vnkindly
to
forget
the
remembrance
of
a
great
benefit
and
good
turne
done
by
him
to
a
certain
English
Marchant
,
whose
name
and
credit
is
well
knowne
in
London
:
for
Sir
Anthony
had
euer
a
care
in
al
his
trauels
to
relieue
such
whom
he
found
distressed
,
and
especially
his
countrey
men
,
as
among
others
,
this
for
instance
.
This
Marchant
hauing
against
the
lawes
&
customes
of
Spaine
,
embarked
12000
duckets
of
gold
of
the
Spanish
coyne
,
with
a
purpose
to
haue
transported
them
into
England
:
The
searcher
and
other
officers
for
the
K.
hauing
knowledge
thereof
,
seised
the
whole
summe
into
their
owne
hands
,
it
being
by
authority
prohibited
,
and
therefore
forfeited
vnto
them
by
the
Lawes
of
the
land
.
The
Marchant
being
much
mooued
with
this
vnfortunat
and
vnexpected
chance
,
it
being
the
principall
stocke
whereon
his
state
relied
,
with
a
heauy
heart
repaired
to
Sir
Anthony
,
vnto
whom
complaining
of
his
miserable
estate
by
this
accident
,
besought
his
fauor
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
extend
the
credite
of
his
place
for
the
recouery
of
this
great
somme
:
which
being
lost
,
he
knew
wel
would
be
the
vndoing
,
both
of
himselfe
,
his
wife
&
children
:
protesting
,
that
in
lieu
thereof
,
he
should
command
what
part
of
it
,
it
pleased
him
,
and
that
hee
should
euer
hold
himselfe
so
much
bound
vnto
him
,
as
that
he
would
thence
forwards
still
acknowledge
him
to
be
the
principall
vpholder
of
his
state
and
fortunes
.
Sir
Anthony
being
moued
with
pity
of
the
Marchants
mischance
,
so
charmed
the
watchfull
kéepers
of
this
Treasure
,
that
to
his
great
honor
&
commendation
,
without
improprating
any
part
thereof
to
his
owne
vse
,
hee
soon
returned
back
this
great
summe
into
the
Marchants
possession
,
who
like
Iason
with
his
companions
did
merrily
saile
homewards
with
this
golden
fléece
.
Shortly
after
Sir
Anthony
with
all
his
Nauy
weighed
anker
,
and
with
a
presperous
gale
of
winde
soone
lost
the
sight
of
Spaine
&
Portugall
,
and
we
must
now
(
for
want
of
further
intelligence
)
leave
him
vpon
the
Leuant
Seas
,
to
that
hopefull
happy
fortune
that
attends
this
honorable
Enterprise
.

Robert

was
made
Generall
,
and
possessed
the
chiefest
place
in
the
King

his

so

fight
,
taking
a
Pollaxe
in
his
hand
,
he
himselfe
gaue
first
such
an
honorable
attempt
,
and
so
amazed
and
repulsed
the
enemies
,
that
his
souldiers
imitating
his
courage
,
put
all
the
foes
to
the
edge
of
the
sword
:
onely
reseruing
aliue
some
thirtie
of
the
chiefe
Commanders
among
them
,
whom
hee
led
in
triumph
to
the
King
,
hauing
taken
them
prisoners
:
and
forthwith
dispatched
a
messenger
to
the
Turke
with
letters
to
this
effect
:
That
for
the
redemption
,
and
liberty
of
one
that
he
kept
prisoner
(
meaning
Sir
Thomas
his
brother
,
who
was
then
vndischarged
)
hee
should
command
the
liues
of
those
thirtie
,
&
haue
themsafely
without
danger
,
or
ransome
deliuered
vnto
him
.
But
enuie
that
hangs
vpon
the
sword
point
of
the
Turke
,
did
so
stirre
vp
the
mind
to
reuenge
,
that
he
was
so
farre
from
entertaining
this
proffer
,
as
hee
did
not
onely
make
refusall
thereof
,
and
bid
him
doe
his
worst
with
his
prisoners
,
but
he
also
returned
wordes
of
defiance
,
and
menared
that
the
sunne
should
not
twice
step
from
the
bed
of
Aurora
,
but
he
would
waken
him
with
such
an
Allarum
,
as
should
strike
his
whole
company
into
wonder
and
amazement
.
This
might
haue
daunted
the
mind
of
Robert
Sherley
,
knowing
his
men
to
bee
weake
,
and
weary
,
and
ouertoyled
in
the
late
battel
and
victory
,
to
be
so
suddenly
called
againe
vnto
Armes
:
&
considering
the
strength
of
his
enemie
,
and
that
the
Turke
had
alwaies
three
hundred
thousand
men
in
readines
,
but
that
honor
(
the
chiefest
marke
he
aimed
at
in
all
his
actions
)
abandoned
Feare
and
Timiditie
:
for
he
no
sooner
receiued
the
daring
threats
of
the
Turke
,
and
the
deniall
of
his
gentle
offer
,
but
he
presently
cut
off
the
heads
of
those
30.
Commanders
,
and
(
according
to
the
custome
of
Persia
)
caused
them
to
bee
carried
in
triumph
about
the
Market
place
,
on
the
top
of
his
Souldiers
Pikes
,
and
swore
in
great
choller
,
that
that
day
should
prooue
dismall
vnto
his
enemie
,
for
either
he
was
resolued
to
returne
Conqueror
,
or
to
leaue
his
carkasse
in
the
field
.
And
thereupon
set
his
Souldiers
in
array
,
and
imbattailed
them
with
all
speed
:
who
comming
within
view
,
might
coniecture
by
computation
their
enemies
to
bee
ten
to
one
,
which
much
affrighted
the
mindes
of
his
men
:
but
hee
perceiuing
it
,
began
to
giue
them
encouragement
,
on
this
manner
.
Master
Robert
Sherley
his
Oration
to
his
Souldiers
.
I
Need
not
(
worthy
Gentlemen
,
and
souldiers
of
Persia
)
seeke
to
encourage
you
with
a
long
discourse
,
lest
putting
oyle
in
the
flame
,
I
should
adde
spurs
to
a
frée
horse
:
your
former
valiant
resolution
manifested
as
well
in
this
last
,
as
in
many
other
battailes
,
assure
me
,
that
were
the
enemies
multitude
greater
,
yet
(
our
quarrell
good
and
honourable
,
and
our
mindes
armed
with
true
valour
)
in
despight
of
Fortune
,
wee
shall
,
(
as
hitherto
we
haue
done
)
returne
in
Triumph
,
and
victorie
.
And
for
that
it
toucheth
mine
honor
,
I
will
be
the
first
man
in
the
battaile
,
and
the
last
man
in
the
field
,
vnlesse
death
giue
an
honorable
quittance
to
my
life
:
Let
mee
be
this
day
a
mirror
of
your
Magnanimitie
:
let
my
actions
be
your
presidents
:
presse
but
as
farre
as
your
Generall
,
and
courage
Gentlemen
,
the
victorie
is
ours
:
&
with
that
catching
a
strong
staffe
,
pulling
down
his
be●er
,
and
putting
spurres
to
his
horse
,
he
furiously
rushed
vpon
the
Enemie
,
his
souldiers
following
with
such
a
desperate
resolution
,
that
the
Turkes
were
amazed
at
his
valour
:
for
he
ran
without
stoppe
through
the
troops
,
and
like
alyon
massacred
whom
he
met
:
which
the
Enemie
perceiuing
,
&
what
a
great
slaughter
hee
had
made
amongst
them
,
many
of
them
fled
,
many
laid
down
their
weapons
,
and
yielded
,
the
rest
hee
put
all
to
the
sword
,
without
partialitie
or
sauour
.
Out
of
this
his
second
ouerthrow
of
the
Turkes
,
hee
againe
reserues
aliue
some
threescore
of
the
chiefest
of
them
,
and
sends
the
like
proffer
to
the
Turke
,
for
redemption
of
his
brother
(
the
Kings
Letters
not
then
come
for
his
enlargement
.
)
But
the
Turke
enraged
that
Fortune
had
thwarted
his
high
hopes
with
such
contrary
euents
,
vtterly
refused
to
subscribe
to
his
request
,
but
bad
him
still
continue
to
doe
his
worst
,
for
he
intended
not
to
depart
with
his
prisoner
.
Vpon
which
reply
,
Ma.
Robert
Sherley
,
as
he
did
the
first
,
so
put
he
the
last
to
the
sword
,
in
remembrance
,
and
reuenge
of
the
crueltie
done
to
sir
Thomas
,
whose
miseries
(
in
the
time
of
intercourse
betweene
the
Turke
and
his
brother
)
were
much
more
aggravated
,
and
made
so
great
,
as
the
truth
vpon
report
will
hardly
be
beleeued
.
In
these
warres
against
the
Turkes
,
this
yonger
brother
purchased
such
honour
and
estimation
,
as
the
cousin
Germaine
to
the
King
of
Persia
(
beeing
the
widowe
of
a
Duke
in
that
countrey
)
entred
into
such
liking
of
his
worthinesse
,
as
shee
resolued
(
with
Andromache
)
to
rest
her
whole
estate
vpon
his
prowesse
:
saying
,
Tu
dominus
,
Tu
vir
,
Tu
mihi
frater
cris
.
The
which
affection
of
hers
,
was
likewise
on
his
part
answered
with
equall
proportion
;
so
that
after
their
priuate
interchanging
of
faith
and
troth
,
their
seuerall
desires
were
made
ioyntly
happy
in
the
honorable
ende
of
marriage
.
Cuius
virtus
valde
efficax
est
ad
concordiam
faciendam
,
quae
adeò
Deo
placet
,
sicut
discordia
multum
ei
displicet
:
Whose
vertue
is
of
great
force
to
make
peace
and
concord
,
with
which
God
is
as
much
pleased
,
as
he
is
displeased
with
discord
.
The
King
himselfe
also
was
so
well
pleased
with
this
match
,
that
for
many
daies
together
he
solemnized
the
marriage
.
It
is
reported
,
that
Ma.
Robert
Sherley
since
his
marriage
with
the
Kings
cousin
Germaine
,
hath
had
isiue
by
her
,
two
children
,
both
Christened
in
that
Countrey
,
in
the
Christian
faith
,
the
King
himselfe
beeing
a
witnesse
to
one
of
them
in
Baptisme
.
He
labours
the
King
very
much
to
christianisme
,
to
which
(
it
is
said
)
he
lends
such
attentiue
eare
,
that
he
doubteth
not
,
but
by
Gods
assistance
and
his
good
perswasions
,
he
may
in
time
bee
brought
to
become
a
Christian.
To
strengthen
which
hope
,
Robert
Sherley
hath
already
erected
there
a
church
,
called
after
his
own
name
,
in
which
he
hath
diuine
seruice
as
duely
read
,
as
here
it
is
on
this
side
the
seas
.
Hee
hath
also
obtained
of
the
King
a
number
of
young
infants
of
that
country
to
be
brought
vp
in
a
house
appointed
for
that
purpose
,
that
altogether
estranged
,
&
kept
from
hearing
or
speaking
their
owne
Language
,
may
in
time
learne
our
English
Speech
,
and
come
at
length
to
Christian
knowledge
,
being
brought
vp
&
educated
among
Christians
.
Howsoeuer
the
effect
answere
the
intent
,
his
purpose
is
most
honourable
and
religious
,
&
deserues
such
worthy
commendations
,
that
what
Princes
soeuer
lend
furtherance
to
his
godly
procéedings
,
I
may
say
with
the
Euangelist
:
Merces
corum
copiosa
est
in
coelis
:
Their
reward
is
very
great
in
Heauen
,
where
they
shall
enioy
the
aboundant
fulnes
of
all
felicitie
.
FINIS
