A
new
and
large
Discourse
,
of
the
Trauelles
of
Sir
Anthonie
Sherley
Knight
,
by
Sea
,
and
ouer
Land
,
to
the
Persian
Empire
.
IT
hath
béene
,
and
yet
is
,
a
prouerbiall
spéech
amongst
vs
,
that
Trauellers
may
lie
by
authority
;
Now
,
whether
this
Prouerbe
hath
had
authoritie
,
from
that
authority
,
which
some
Trauellers
haue
vsurped
(
neuer
by
iustice
granted
)
to
lie
;
or
whether
their
report
(
albeit
most
true
)
yet
excéeding
the
beliefe
of
those
auditors
that
wil
beléeue
nothing
that
falles
not
within
their
owne
ocular
experience
,
or
probabilitie
of
truth
,
squared
by
the
same
:
whether
(
I
say
)
from
one
,
or
both
of
these
grounds
,
this
prouerb
hath
sprung
,
I
am
vncertaine
:
but
certaine
I
am
,
diuerse
there
are
(
entiteling
themselues
Trauellers
,
for
crossing
the
narrow
seas
,
to
the
neighbour
partes
of
Picardie
peraduenture
,
or
the
lowe
countries
perhappes
)
from
thence
take
authoritie
to
vtter
lies
in
England
(
at
their
returne
)
by
retaile
,
which
they
haue
coyned
there
in
grosse
.
And
as
sure
I
am
,
that
many
honest
and
true
Trauellers
,
for
speaking
the
truth
,
of
their
owne
knowledge
(
for
in
the
world
are
many
incomprehensible
miracles
of
Nature
)
yet
because
it
excéeds
the
beliefe
of
the
vnexperienced
,
&
home-bred
vulgars
,
they
are
,
by
them
,
concluded
liers
for
their
labour
.
How
could
a
man
,
from
his
birth
confined
in
a
dungeon
or
lightlesse
Caue
,
be
brought
to
conceiue
,
or
beléeue
the
glorie
and
great
magnificence
of
the
visible
,
celestiall
,
and
terrestriall
globes
,
with
the
wonderfull
workes
of
the
great
Author
of
Nature
in
the
same
?
Nay
,
were
such
a
one
sodainely
transferred
to
the
toppe
of
some
mountaine
or
lofty
Turret
in
a
sommers
day
,
from
whence
he
might
beholde
the
glory
of
the
heauens
,
replenished
with
that
most
admirable
Cresset
,
who
for
his
glittring
and
diuine
glory
,
prouokes
many
nations
of
the
world
to
performe
diuine
adoration
therevnto
.
To
sée
(
I
say
)
those
resplendant
and
cristalline
heauens
ouer-cannoping
the
earth
,
inuested
most
sumptuously
in
height
of
Natures
pride
with
her
richest
liuery
;
the
particularities
whereof
,
were
they
described
according
to
the
trueth
of
their
nature
,
it
might
bréede
a
scruple
in
the
naturall
man
,
whether
Man
were
(
for
transgression
)
euer
vnimparadized
or
no.
And
such
a
man
,
of
whome
I
speake
,
woulde
(
like
a
soule
sodainely
transferred
,
by
the
handes
of
Angells
,
from
earth
to
heauen
)
be
beheauened
with
the
ioy
he
would
conceiue
,
by
reason
of
so
glorious
a
prospect
,
and
such
soule-rauishing
and
sense-bewitching
obiectes
.
The
application
héereof
is
apparant
:
for
were
men
méerely
home-bred
(
and
in
that
respect
but
as
the
man
confined
to
his
Caue
)
abroad
in
the
eminent
and
oppulent
places
of
the
world
,
as
also
in
the
most
remote
and
obscure
corners
of
the
same
,
and
there
with
insearching
and
well
discerning
eies
,
to
behold
the
rarieties
(
surmounting
admiration
)
therein
included
,
he
would
(
no
doubt
)
be
rapt
vp
with
ceaselesse
wonderment
,
or
wondrous
amazement
at
the
sight
and
consideration
of
them
.
For
mine
owne
part
,
I
am
resolued
to
make
a
true
relation
of
what
mine
eies
saw
,
not
respecting
the
iudgement
of
the
vulgars
,
but
contenting
my selfe
with
the
conscience
of
the
truth
;
besides
which
,
(
I
protest
)
I
purpose
to
write
nothing
.
This
by
way
of
preamble
:
now
to
the
matter
.
Therefore
,
first
landing
at
Vlishing
,
we
were
honourably
receiued
and
entertained
,
of
sir
Robert
Sidney
,
lord
Gouernour
of
that
garrison
:
from
whence
we
went
on
foote
to
Middleborough
,
where
we
tooke
a
small
hoy
that
caried
vs
that
night
to
Sierichzee
.
From
whence
we
then
tooke
our
iourney
to
Somerdicke
:
From
whence
wee
likewise
crosst
the
water
the
next
morning
,
and
at
night
we
lay
at
Brill
.
Hitherto
we
passed
on
foote
,
hiering
poore
souldiers
to
carry
our
baggage
,
by
reason
that
the
frost
was
so
great
,
that
horses
were
not
able
to
passe
,
and
the
way
vnusuall
.
From
the
Brill
the
next
day
we
crosst
the
water
;
and
landing
,
we
had
waggons
that
conueyed
vs
and
ours
to
the
Hage
:
where
,
no
sooner
being
alighted
,
but
that
sir
Anthony
(
attended
by
vs
)
went
to
visite
his
Excellency
,
consociated
with
master
Gilpin
the
Quéens
Agent
thither
,
where
continuing
not
past
an
houre
to
complement
with
the
Prince
,
he
withdrew
himselfe
to
his
lodging
to
repose
himselfe
:
whither
(
not
long
after
)
his
Excellencie
and
the
States
sent
fiftie
great
flaggons
of
wine
,
togither
with
his
Passe
through
his
Countrey
,
whereby
he
was
to
take
conuoy
as
he
thought
requisite
.
The
next
day
to
Leiden
,
so
to
Vtricke
,
to
Dewborough
,
and
then
to
Collen
,
the
passage
wherevnto
was
somewhat
dangerous
;
by
occasion
wherof
we
had
sir
Nicholas
Parkers
troupe
of
horse
to
conuoy
vs
thither
;
our
company
hauing
25.
of
his
horses
to
ride
on
,
&
25.
more
of
his
troup
,
besides
the
cornetbearer
to
accompany
vs
to
Collen
,
which
we
did
in
6.
daies
,
spending
one
night
merily
.
The
next
morning
,
sir
Anthony
giuing
the
troupe
that
were
his
conuoy
a
bountifull
rewarde
,
sent
them
backe
againe
;
wée
taking
our
iourney
forewardes
thorowe
those
partes
of
Germanie
,
as
Frankeford
,
Norembege
,
and
so
to
Augusta
,
altogether
by
coach
.
From
whence
wee
hired
horses
to
passe
the
Alpes
,
in
respect
that
it
was
not
passable
by
coach
.
And
from
thence
we
were
tenne
dayes
passing
to
Venice
,
whither
we
went
,
with
resolution
to
aide
the
duke
of
Ferrara
in
his
warres
against
the
Pope
;
who
(
good
duke
)
fearing
the
Popes
curse
,
gaue
ouer
the
warres
,
as
the
Pope
would
:
howbeit
we
remained
in
Venice
tenne
wéekes
.
In
which
time
,
sir
Anthony
went
to
the
Duke
thereof
,
who
entertained
him
with
all
princely
complement
,
sending
him
to
his
lodging
,
a
roy
all
banquet
of
all
kinde
of
confected
swéete
meates
,
and
wine
in
great
aboundaunce
;
which
continued
a
long
time
.
Who
likewise
commaunded
that
we
should
haue
libertie
to
sée
any
thing
in
the
cittie
worthy
the
sight
,
which
accordingly
we
saw
,
to
sir
Anthonies
no
small
cost
;
for
in
his
rewards
,
he
was
there
,
and
elsewhere
,
most
royall
.
To
write
of
the
fashions
and
dispositions
of
the
Germans
and
Italians
,
were
a
matter
not
woorth
my
paines
,
because
it
is
so
well
knowne
to
all
men
,
that
knowes
,
or
haue
read
,
or
heard
any
thing
:
therefore
I
will
goe
forward
with
our
iourney
,
and
write
of
matter
more
nouellous
,
and
lesse
knowne
to
my
home-bred
countreymen
,
for
whose
sake
(
chiefly
)
I
haue
compiled
this
Discourse
.
In
Maie
next
folowing
our
departure
from
England
,
we
set
forwards
from
Venice
,
in
an
Italian
ship
,
which
we
had
compounded
with
,
amongst
others
,
to
conuey
vs
to
Aleppo
;
but
by
occasion
of
some
iarres
wée
hadde
with
some
Italians
(
passengers
as
wée
were
)
in
the
ship
,
they
landed
vs
in
an
Iland
of
the
Venetians
called
Zanc
,
vnto
which
place
wée
were
two
and
twenty
dayes
passing
:
the
captaine
assuring
vs
,
that
we
shoulde
haue
passed
it
in
tenne
dayes
,
which
made
vs
prouide
but
for
aftéene
dayes
vittaile
;
those
fiftéene
dayes
being
expired
,
our
vittaile
quite
spent
,
and
hauing
seauen
dayes
trauell
further
in
that
ship
,
we
could
for
money
,
nor
by
no
meanes
get
any
vittailes
of
those
vnkinde
Italians
,
whereby
we
had
bin
very
gréeuously
distressed
,
but
that
certaine
Persians
(
though
Pagans
by
profession
)
being
in
the
ship
well
vittailed
,
and
séeing
the
impious
and
dogged
disposition
of
those
Italians
,
supplied
all
our
wants
for
that
seauen
dayes
gratis
.
In
which
time
,
an
Italian
in
that
shippe
,
vsing
some
villainous
and
opprobrious
speaches
towardes
our
Queenes
Maiestie
,
and
the
same
not
heard
of
by
sir
Anthony
,
nor
any
of
his
company
in
two
dayes
after
,
but
then
made
knowne
by
an
Italian
that
attended
maister
Robert
Sherly
:
whereof
when
sir
Anthony
heard
,
he
forthwith
caused
one
of
our
company
so
to
heate
him
with
a
billet
,
that
it
is
impossible
he
should
euer
recouer
it
.
In
the
performaunce
whereof
,
he
made
a
great
outcry
,
wherevpon
all
the
Italians
were
vp
in
armes
,
being
in
number
some
thrée
score
persons
,
and
we
but
foure
and
twenty
.
Howbeit
,
we
were
(
with
weapons
drawne
)
prest
to
defend
and
offend
.
The
captaine
of
the
ship
thereupon
demanded
of
sir
Anthony
how
any
man
durst
intermeddle
,
in
that
kinde
,
vnder
his
commaund
?
Wherevnto
sir
Anthony
replied
,
that
it
was
an
iniurie
,
tending
to
the
reproach
and
indignitie
of
his
Soueraigne
,
which
hee
neither
would
nor
could
indure
;
and
therewithall
told
him
,
if
he
would
subborne
or
abet
him
therein
,
the
one
side
should
welter
in
their
blood
.
And
our
side
being
rather
desirous
to
prosecute
this
point
with
swordes
,
then
with
wordes
.
Sir
Anthonies
brother
gaue
the
captaine
a
sound
boxe
,
which
was
very
hardely
digested
,
and
much
mischiefe
had
like
to
haue
fallen
thereon
;
but
by
meanes
of
certaine
Merchants
in
the
ship
,
more
feareful
of
their
goods
then
of
the
losse
of
their
bloods
(
and
yet
fearefull
enough
of
either
)
pacified
(
with
much
adoe
)
both
parties
,
Howbeit
either
part
liued
watching
and
warding
vntill
they
put
vs
on
shore
,
on
the
said
Iland
of
Zant
:
where
they
left
vs
hopelesse
(
God
wot
)
of
going
forwards
or
backewards
.
There
we
continued
ten
dayes
,
in
which
time
we
hired
a
Gréekish
ship
,
being
an
open
boate
,
and
very
olde
,
and
full
of
dangerous
leakes
;
yea
so
dangerous
were
the
leakes
,
that
in
eleuen
daies
(
in
which
time
wée
passed
from
Zant
to
Candia
)
continually
during
all
that
time
foure
men
had
as
much
toile
as
possibly
they
could
indure
,
to
laue
water
out
of
this
rotten
boate
:
which
was
so
weake
,
that
if
euen
then
wee
hadde
hadde
but
euer
so
little
rough
weather
,
there
had
all
our
hopes
,
together
with
our
carcasses
,
perished
,
and
we
neuer
haue
arriued
at
Candia
.
Where
we
made
our
abode
some
twelue
dayes
,
vntill
our
boate
was
repaired
,
and
made
fitter
to
brooke
the
seas
.
In
which
time
,
the
Gouernor
of
that
I
le
(
being
a
Duke
vnder
the
Venetians
)
sent
for
sir
Anthony
to
his
Pallace
to
dinner
,
who
also
sent
to
his
lodging
,
a
very
great
and
costly
banquet
,
and
likewise
permitted
vs
(
in
great
fauour
)
to
passe
round
about
the
towne
,
to
sée
the
strength
thereof
;
which
was
reasonable
well
fortified
with
ordonance
and
other
adiuncts
of
warre
,
especially
on
that
side
that
lay
towards
the
sea
:
the
other
partes
not
so
strong
,
for
the
ditch
about
the
Towne
was
drie
.
The
Inhabitants
of
that
towne
and
Isle
are
(
for
the
most
part
)
Gréekes
,
whose
maners
and
behauiors
doe
verifie
our
English
prouerb
,
which
termeth
any
man
,
pleasantly
disposed
(
by
reason
of
wine
,
or
otherwise
)
a
merry
Gréeke
;
alluding
to
these
Gréekes
,
that
alwayes
sit
drinking
and
playing
the
good
fellowes
before
their
doores
:
some
dauncing
arme
in
arme
vp
and
downe
the
towne
:
Some
others
making
some
other
sports
,
to
procure
laughter
;
and
thus
gamesomely
doe
they
passe
their
time
,
as
if
they
were
created
but
for
the
matter
of
pleasure
:
So
that
to
me
it
séemed
no
litle
wonder
,
that
that
Nation
,
which
heretofore
made
all
the
world
admire
their
wisedome
and
learning
,
who
(
in
regarde
of
themselues
)
held
all
the
worlde
besides
,
but
Barbarians
or
harbarous
,
should
now
become
such
cup
shot
companions
,
tripping
their
nimble
wittes
with
quicke
and
subtile
wine
,
thereby
turning
all
their
déepe
pollicie
,
into
déepe
carowsing
,
and
shallow
iocunditie
.
But
,
Tempora
mutantur
,
&
nos
mutamur
in
illis
.
Hauing
spent
those
twelue
dayes
,
as
aforesaide
,
in
Candia
,
among
those
merry
Gréekes
,
we
eftsoones
imbarked
our selues
for
Ciprus
,
to
which
we
were
some
nine
dayes
passing
:
where
(
as
the
saying
is
)
the
Italians
(
with
whome
we
passed
to
Zant
)
did
our
errand
(
like
knights
errand
)
against
our
comming
.
They
made
reporte
to
the
Turkes
inhabiting
the
same
I
le
,
that
we
were
all
pirats
,
and
that
they
should
do
wel
to
lay
hands
on
vs
,
&
to
carry
vs
to
the
great
Turk
their
emperor
,
because
,
besides
that
,
we
were
pirats
,
&
came
into
Turky
,
but
as
spies
.
Wherevpon
the
Turkes
laid
handes
vpon
vs
,
euen
vpon
our
first
arriuall
,
threatning
to
haue
brought
vs
to
Constantinople
:
howbeit
they
staird
vs
in
Ciprus
two
daies
;
in
which
time
,
they
were
indifferently
well
qualified
,
in
hope
of
mony
we
promised
them
,
and
which
they
had
,
to
their
full
contentment
,
ere
we
parted
from
them
.
This
was
the
worst
welcome
which
we
receiued
on
shoare
since
our
departure
from
the
English
shore
,
and
made
vs
most
to
doubt
our
safety
.
But
within
two
dayes
passage
of
Candia
,
as
we
came
towardes
Ciprus
(
which
I
had
almost
omitted
)
there
is
also
a
Gréekish
Isle
(
whose
name
(
I
am
ashamed
therfore
)
I
haue
quite
forgotten
)
wherevpon
we
touched
and
watered
,
which
is
some
half
mile
ouer
,
hauing
one
religious
house
therin
and
alone
,
with
about
some
twenty
Gréeke
friggets
inhabiting
the
same
,
which
is
(
as
wée
thought
)
an
other
Eden
;
and
the
most
pleasant
place
that
euer
our
eies
behelde
,
for
the
exercise
of
a
solitary
and
contemplatiue
life
:
for
it
is
furnished
with
the
foizen
of
all
Gods
good
blessings
.
All
kinde
of
fruites
(
as
apples
,
peares
,
plumbes
,
orenges
,
lemmonds
,
pomegranates
,
and
the
like
)
in
great
aboundaunce
groweth
there
:
with
most
pleasant
gardens
,
replenished
with
all
manner
of
odoriferous
floures
,
and
wholesome
hearbes
for
sallets
,
or
medicines
:
wherein
breaketh
foorth
many
fresh
and
cristall
cléere
Springs
of
water
:
hauing
therewithall
,
cattell
▪
(
as
beeues
and
muttons
there
naturally
bred
)
more
than
sufficient
to
serue
that
house
.
In
our
trauelles
many
times
,
falling
into
daungers
,
and
vnpleasant
places
,
this
onely
Island
would
be
the
place
where
we
woulde
wish
our selues
to
end
our
liues
.
They
haue
also
this
helpe
,
that
if
they
did
want
aught
,
shipping
continually
passing
by
that
way
,
would
soone
supply
it
.
From
Ciprus
(
as
from
a
place
we
had
small
reason
to
take
pleasure
in
,
our
entertainement
was
so
vnpleasaunt
)
wee
hired
a
very
small
boate
of
some
ten
tunne
(
there
being
none
other
to
hire
)
to
transporte
vs
vnto
the
Holy
Land
,
the
which
was
but
foure
and
twenty
houres
sailing
.
But
the
Turkes
(
our
Taxers
)
tolde
vs
,
that
there
lay
Gallies
fraught
with
Théeues
that
robbed
all
that
passed
that
way
:
notwithstanding
,
we
hoised
vp
saile
,
and
put
our selues
to
Sea
thitherward
,
abandoning
our selues
to
all
the
rouing
aduentures
of
Fortune
,
being
accompanied
with
an
other
boate
which
helde
her
direct
course
whither
we
were
bound
,
which
was
taken
(
as
afterward
appéered
)
and
her
men
drowned
.
But
,
as
God
woulde
haue
it
,
(
to
whome
,
as
well
for
that
,
as
all
our
other
many
many
preseruations
,
beyond
all
probabilitie
and
expectation
,
we
were
infinitely
bound
)
our
boate
,
by
the
way
,
being
taken
by
an
indirect
winde
,
to
that
our
direct
course
,
we
thereby
fell
downe
vpon
Tripoly
.
Who
being
guided
by
an
omnipotent
and
neuer-failing
Pilote
,
we
passed
out
of
the
sea
into
that
famous
riuer
Orontes
;
along
the
which
we
held
our
course
vp
into
the
countrie
,
the
Ianizaries
or
souldiers
thereof
flocking
about
vs
,
threatning
,
that
if
they
might
not
haue
what
they
demaunded
,
they
would
cul
out
such
of
our
company
as
best
pleased
them
to
serue
their
zodomiticall
appetites
,
and
most
vile
and
villainous
purposes
.
This
while
we
sent
to
Antioch
,
not
thrée
dayes
iourney
off
,
for
certaine
Ianizaries
,
to
safeconduct
vs
thither
,
which
Ianizaries
were
of
our
Interpreters
acquaintance
,
who
being
come
,
the
other
left
vs
immediately
,
and
so
we
passed
to
Antioch
,
conducted
by
the
Ianizaries
which
we
sent
for
thither
,
where
we
remained
sixe
or
seauen
dayes
,
for
the
company
of
certaine
Merchants
that
were
bound
to
Aleppo
,
béeing
six
dayes
iorney
from
Antioch
,
betwéene
which
Cities
,
in
the
way
,
were
from
time
to
time
,
diuers
robberies
committed
by
some
two
hundred
Arabs
,
vntill
that
instant
that
wee
were
at
Antioch
,
where
we
heard
,
that
the
Ianizaries
of
Aleppo
issued
out
against
these
robbers
,
part
of
whom
they
killed
,
and
the
rest
put
to
flight
,
by
meanes
whereof
,
our
passage
was
cléered
to
Aleppo
,
whither
we
were
bound
,
and
where
we
were
right
well
entertained
,
by
the
English
Consulles
,
and
the
rest
of
the
English
merchants
.
There
we
remayned
about
some
sixe
wéekes
at
the
English
houses
,
and
feasted
(
for
the
most
parte
)
while
wée
there
continued
.
And
being
examined
by
the
Bashaw
of
that
place
,
touching
our
intendement
,
sir
Anthony
aunswered
,
that
wee
were
Merchants
,
desirous
to
trade
to
the
vtmost
confines
of
his
countries
;
which
was
graunted
by
the
Bashaw
,
with
his
Passe
,
together
with
the
English
Consulls
and
vice-consulls
.
Leauing
héere
awhile
to
prosecute
our
iorney
,
I
will
speake
somewhat
of
the
fashion
and
disposition
of
the
people
and
country
;
whose
behauiours
in
point
of
ciuilitie
(
besides
that
they
are
damned
Infidells
,
and
Zodomiticall
Mahomets
)
doe
answer
the
hate
we
christians
doe
iustly
holde
them
in
.
For
they
are
beyond
all
measure
a
most
insolent
superbous
and
insulting
people
,
euer
more
prest
to
offer
outrage
to
any
christian
,
if
he
be
not
well
guarded
with
a
Ianizarie
,
or
Ianizaries
.
They
sit
at
their
meat
(
which
is
serued
to
them
vpon
the
ground
)
as
Tailers
sit
vpon
their
stalls
,
crosse-legd
:
for
the
most
part
,
passing
the
day
in
banqueting
and
carowsing
,
vntill
they
surfet
,
drinking
a
certaine
liquor
which
they
do
call
Coffe
,
which
is
made
of
a
séde
much
like
mustard
séede
,
which
wil
soone
intoxicate
the
braine
,
like
our
Metheglin
.
They
will
not
permitte
any
christian
to
come
within
their
churches
,
for
they
holde
their
profane
and
irreligious
Sanctuaries
defiled
thereby
.
They
haue
no
vse
of
Belles
,
but
some
priest
thrée
times
in
the
day
,
mounts
the
toppe
of
their
church
,
and
there
,
with
an
exalted
voyce
cries
out
,
and
inuocates
Mahomet
to
come
in
post
,
for
they
haue
long
expected
his
second
comming
.
And
if
within
this
sixe
yéeres
(
as
they
say
)
he
come
not
(
being
the
vtmost
time
of
his
appoyntment
and
promise
made
in
that
behalfe
)
they
haue
no
hope
of
his
comming
.
But
they
feare
(
according
to
a
prophecie
they
haue
)
the
Christians
at
the
end
therof
shal
subdue
them
all
,
and
conuert
them
to
christianitie
.
They
haue
wiues
in
number
according
to
their
wealth
,
two
,
thrée
,
foure
,
or
vpwards
,
according
as
they
are
in
abilitie
turnished
to
maintaine
them
.
Their
women
are
(
for
the
most
part
)
very
faire
,
barbed
euery
where
;
and
death
it
is
for
anie
christian
carnally
to
know
them
;
which
,
were
they
willing
to
doe
,
hardly
could
they
attaine
it
,
because
they
are
closely
chambred
vp
,
vnlesse
it
be
at
such
time
as
they
go
to
their
Bastoues
,
or
to
the
Graues
,
to
bewaile
their
dead
(
as
their
maner
is
)
which
once
a
wéeke
vsually
they
doo
,
and
then
shall
no
part
of
them
be
discouered
neither
,
but
onely
their
eies
,
except
it
be
by
a
great
chaunce
.
The
country
aboundeth
with
great
store
of
all
kinds
of
fruit
,
whereupon
(
for
the
most
parte
)
they
liue
,
their
chéefest
meate
being
Rice
.
Their
flesh
is
Mutton
and
Hennes
;
which
Muttons
haue
huge
broade
fatte
tailes
.
This
meate
most
commonly
they
haue
but
once
in
the
day
,
all
the
rest
,
they
eate
fruite
as
aforesaide
.
They
eate
very
little
béefe
,
vnlesse
it
be
the
poorest
sort
.
Camels
for
their
carriage
they
haue
in
great
abundance
;
but
when
both
them
and
their
horses
are
past
the
best
,
and
vnfit
for
carriage
,
the
poorest
of
their
people
eate
them
.
They
haue
one
thing
most
vsual
among
them
,
which
though
it
be
right
wel
knowne
to
all
of
our
Nation
that
knowe
Turkie
,
yet
it
excéedeth
the
credite
of
our
home-bred
countriemen
,
for
relating
whereof
(
perhappes
)
I
may
be
held
a
liar
,
hauing
authoritie
so
to
doe
(
as
they
say
and
thinke
)
because
I
am
a
traueller
.
But
the
truth
thereof
(
being
knowne
to
al
our
Englishmen
that
trade
or
trauel
into
those
partes
)
is
a
warrant
omnisufficient
for
the
report
,
how
repugnant
soeuer
it
be
to
the
beléefe
of
our
English
multitude
.
And
this
it
is
,
when
they
desire
to
heare
news
,
or
intelligence
out
of
any
remote
parts
of
their
country
with
all
celeritie
(
as
we
say
,
vppon
the
wings
of
the
winde
)
they
haue
pigeons
that
are
so
taught
and
brought
to
the
hand
,
that
they
will
flie
with
Letters
(
fastened
with
a
string
about
their
bodies
vnder
their
wings
)
containing
all
the
intelligence
of
occurrents
,
or
what
else
is
to
be
expected
from
those
partes
:
from
whence
,
if
they
shoulde
send
by
camells
(
for
so
otherwise
they
must
)
they
should
not
heare
in
a
quarter
of
a
yéere
,
for
so
long
would
they
be
in
continuall
trauel
.
As
for
example
;
when
any
merchandize
are
to
come
out
of
the
east
Indies
,
to
Mecha
,
or
else-where
of
like
distaunce
,
pigeons
are
carried
from
Mecha
or
Aleppo
before
hand
,
which
is
a
quarter
of
a
yéeres
passage
,
then
they
tie
(
as
before
is
mentioned
)
the
said
letters
about
the
pigeons
,
acquainting
therby
their
factors
what
commodities
they
haue
,
and
what
are
like
to
prooue
most
vendible
:
by
meanes
whereof
(
whiles
their
camels
are
thrée
noneths
in
comming
)
they
know
what
merchandize
is
fit
to
be
kept
,
and
what
to
doe
away
.
Now
to
returne
where
I
left
,
and
so
to
goe
forward
with
our
iourney
:
wée
passed
from
Aleppo
through
the
heart
of
the
Turkes
country
,
the
strength
whereof
is
very
small
,
whereof
the
christian
Princes
are
ignorant
,
(
as
it
séems
)
for
if
they
knew
it
,
as
we
do
,
that
with
al
circumspection
obserued
it
;
doubtlesse
,
they
would
with
no
great
difficultie
vtterly
suppresse
him
,
or
so
extreamely
distresse
him
,
that
they
would
constrain
him
to
embrace
the
christian
faith
,
and
rest
at
their
deuotion
,
or
at
least
remoue
his
seate
from
the
holy
land
,
and
parts
adiacent
.
And
to
giue
the
Reader
a
taste
how
probable
this
is
,
(
lest
I
should
be
held
,
as
one
that
knoweth
not
whereof
he
doth
affirme
)
there
is
(
as
it
is
there
commonly
reported
,
and
as
commonly
knowne
)
in
all
Palestine
and
Syria
,
but
one
thousand
and
fiue
hundred
Ianizaries
that
guardes
those
citties
of
Aleppo
,
Damascus
,
Antioch
,
and
Ierusalem
.
As
for
Grand-cagro
,
they
are
not
able
to
stir
for
diuerse
Arabs
that
lie
in
the
hilles
betwixt
Ierusalem
and
it
:
betwéene
whome
and
those
Turkes
of
Grand-cagro
there
is
deadly
feud
,
as
the
Scot
speaketh
.
As
for
Babilon
and
Balsera
,
they
haue
likewise
continuall
wars
with
those
Arabs
of
Arabia
Felix
.
Besides
,
there
are
a
great
number
of
christians
borne
&
bred
in
those
partes
,
which
would
most
willingly
be
assisting
for
their
libertie
.
From
Aleppo
we
set
forwards
in
the
middest
of
August
,
accompanied
with
our
English
merchants
thrée
day●●●●●uit
wit
,
vntil
we
came
to
a
Towne
called
Beerah
,
or
Birrah
by
which
runnes
the
most
famous
riuer
of
Euphrates
,
parting
Mesopotamia
and
Syria
;
where
wee
rested
sixe
or
seauen
dayes
,
whilest
boates
were
preparing
for
vs
,
and
other
Turkish
merchants
:
that
beeing
done
,
we
parted
from
our
merchants
,
and
betooke
our selues
to
the
saide
riuer
of
Euphrates
,
on
the
which
we
were
somo
thrée
and
twenty
dayes
passing
downe
the
same
.
In
which
time
we
came
by
a
castle
called
Racca
,
where
we
were
to
take
in
fresh
meate
,
and
men
to
rowe
.
But
loe
,
there
it
happened
,
that
a
Turke
being
in
one
of
the
boats
in
our
company
,
discharged
his
péece
towards
the
shoare
at
randon
,
where
he
most
vnhappily
slew
a
Turk
of
the
towne
,
(
the
bullet
entring
his
braine
:
)
by
reason
whereof
,
our
boate
,
aswell
as
the
rest
,
was
stayed
,
and
we
constrained
to
make
satisfaction
for
the
mans
death
:
which
cost
sir
Anthony
for
his
company
some
hundred
crownes
.
Which
being
payed
,
and
wée
discharged
,
we
held
on
our
course
from
thence
some
two
or
thrée
dayes
passage
,
where
we
were
eftsoones
stayed
by
the
King
of
the
Arrabs
there
liuing
vpon
the
riuers
side
in
Tents
:
before
whome
we
were
brought
,
whose
handes
we
kiss
:
and
demaunding
what
we
were
,
and
what
businesse
we
had
in
those
partes
,
we
replied
,
we
were
Englishmen
,
and
Merchants
by
our
trades
,
comming
for
traffike
into
those
partes
of
the
world
.
Wherevpon
this
good
king
tolde
vs
that
he
must
néedes
sée
our
merchandize
,
which
we
(
God
wot
)
durst
not
contradict
:
and
so
he
borrowed
(
without
a
priuy
Seale
,
or
bill
of
his
hand
)
some
thirtie
yardes
of
cloth
of
siluer
,
vntill
our
returne
.
That
being
done
,
we
had
licence
to
departe
to
our
boate
.
In
whose
campe
we
sawe
nothing
but
a
multitude
of
cammelles
,
mules
,
asses
,
horses
,
shéepe
,
and
goats
:
from
whence
wee
passed
to
another
towne
called
Anna.
From
thence
,
to
a
towne
called
Dire
,
by
which
there
is
a
lake
or
poole
of
very
pitch
,
which
in
their
language
they
call
,
the
mouth
of
Hell
.
It
swelles
in
the
middest
thereof
to
the
bignesse
of
an
hogshead
,
and
so
breaketh
with
a
great
puffe
,
falling
flat
,
and
thus
continually
it
worketh
:
whereof
there
is
no
bottome
to
be
found
,
albeit
it
often
hath
beene
tried
by
all
meanes
.
There
was
nothing
else
woorth
the
noting
,
vntill
we
came
where
we
were
to
passe
by
land
agayne
.
So
we
sent
for
cammels
and
horses
to
Babilon
(
being
two
daies
iorny
from
vs
)
to
carry
vs
thither
.
Where
being
no
sooner
come
,
for
our
welcome
,
we
had
all
our
merchandize
arrested
,
for
the
vse
of
the
Bashaw
of
that
place
,
to
be
payed
therefore
,
at
his
price
and
pleasure
:
howbeit
we
had
licence
to
prouide
our selues
an
house
,
and
hée
dealt
better
with
vs
then
wée
expected
;
for
hée
gaue
vs
,
by
estimation
,
halfe
the
woorth
of
our
goodes
,
which
was
good
pay
,
from
so
ill
a
debter
.
Yet
hée
extorted
from
sir
Anthony
a
great
deal
of
plate
made
of
pure
emerald
,
which
hée
purposed
to
bestow
on
the
Persian
king
,
by
vs
called
,
the
Sophy
.
Howbeit
we
preuented
him
,
for
the
one
halfe
of
our
goodes
,
which
was
carried
into
the
towne
in
another
Turkes
name
that
came
with
vs
,
for
which
fauour
,
we
gaue
him
(
by
agréement
)
fortie
crownes
.
At
Babilon
(
being
thus
entertained
)
wée
remained
a
moneth
,
or
more
,
in
which
time
a
Dutchman
,
being
one
of
our
company
,
had
like
to
haue
preferred
vs
all
to
the
heads-mans
handling
.
For
,
being
one
day
drunke
(
according
to
his
woont
)
and
withall
,
bearing
a
grudge
to
some
of
our
company
)
went
in
that
moode
to
some
of
the
chiefe
Officers
of
the
Turkes
in
Babilon
,
made
signes
to
them
that
he
had
some
matter
of
importaunce
to
deliuer
to
the
Bashaw
,
touching
sir
Anthony
.
Which
Officers
sent
for
an
Armenian
a
christian
,
that
was
then
in
towne
,
who
had
vsed
sir
Anthony
excéeding
wel
,
and
was
beloued
no
lesse
of
these
Officers
,
to
whome
they
shewed
the
signes
this
Dutchman
had
made
.
Hée
foorthwith
aunswered
,
that
he
was
a
druncken
companion
,
and
that
sir
Anthony
hadde
often
beaten
him
for
his
immoderate
bowzing
,
and
continuall
drunkennesse
,
which
was
(
as
hée
saide
in
our
excuse
)
the
onely
cause
he
thus
plaied
his
parte
.
And
withall
,
desired
them
to
suffer
their
Ianizaries
to
beate
him
well
,
and
to
send
him
so
beaten
to
his
maister
.
Which
was
done
(
by
theyr
commaunde
)
accordingly
.
Wherevpon
sir
Anthony
was
constraind
to
chamber
him
vp
close
,
vntil
we
were
past
daunger
:
leauing
money
with
him
to
carry
him
backe
to
Aleppo
.
During
the
time
we
staied
in
Babilon
,
we
hadde
all
kinde
of
fowle
,
flesh
,
and
fish
,
with
great
store
of
venison
very
cheape
.
The
olde
tower
of
Babel
is
thrée
dayes
iourney
from
this
place
,
which
by
common
and
iust
reporte
of
the
inhabitants
of
this
Cittie
,
is
about
the
height
of
Paules
,
at
this
time
,
as
they
by
towers
of
the
like
height
,
in
our
estimation
described
it
.
It
is
not
hollow
,
but
sollide
thorowout
;
the
base
,
or
foote
whereof
,
is
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
in
compasse
.
It
consistes
of
Brickes
baked
in
the
Sunne
,
of
great
breadth
and
thickenesse
,
interlined
with
canes
pleated
like
mattes
,
which
remayne
much
lesse
perished
then
the
Brickes
.
The
tower
which
is
called
Nabuchadnezers
Tower
,
stands
hard
by
new
Babilon
,
which
is
fashioned
much
like
the
other
(
as
it
is
said
)
but
not
so
high
as
that
we
sawe
,
by
which
doth
runne
the
famous
riuer
Tigris
,
taking
his
course
through
the
Citie
,
and
so
along
by
this
tower
.
Thus
,
hauing
spent
a
moneth
,
and
somewhat
more
,
in
new
Babilon
,
in
great
feare
and
perplexitie
,
by
reason
of
the
druncken
Dutchmans
signes
and
tokens
(
as
before
is
mentioned
)
staying
the
most
of
that
time
for
a
Carauan
of
the
Persians
,
and
a
great
company
of
Merchants
,
wée
receiued
Letters
from
Aleppo
,
by
which
wée
were
wisht
to
make
all
possible
spéede
from
Babilon
,
for
that
wée
were
discouered
there
;
signifying
thus
much
further
vnto
vs
,
that
there
were
letters
from
thence
in
all
post
addressed
to
stay
vs
.
Which
hauing
passed
in
safetie
,
through
his
gentle
assistance
and
conduction
,
wée
were
indifferent
well
at
hearts
ease
;
albeit
we
had
sixe
dayes
iourney
to
passe
(
ere
we
should
enter
the
confines
of
Persia
)
through
the
Courdes
country
,
which
is
by
interpretation
the
shéeus
country
.
The
people
whereof
are
altogether
addicted
to
théeuing
,
not
much
vnlike
the
wilde
Irish
,
so
that
as
we
passed
through
them
,
euery
night
wée
didde
encampe
,
they
slily
stale
more
or
lesse
from
vs
,
watcht
we
neuer
so
warily
:
else
woulde
they
doe
but
little
hurte
.
This
people
doe
liue
altogether
in
Tents
,
kéeping
of
Cattell
.
Hauing
passed
this
pilfering
people
,
we
then
happily
entred
the
king
of
Persiaes
country
,
where
vpon
our
first
entrance
we
thought
we
had
bin
imparadized
,
finding
our
entertainement
to
be
so
good
,
and
the
maner
of
the
people
to
be
so
kinde
and
curteous
(
farre
differing
from
the
Turkes
)
especially
when
they
heard
we
came
of
purpose
to
their
king
.
We
passed
from
the
bordures
nine
daies
iourney
,
ere
wée
came
to
Casbin
,
where
wée
expected
the
residence
of
the
king
:
during
all
which
time
we
passed
by
no
great
Townes
woorth
the
noting
,
vntil
we
came
thither
,
hauing
sent
a
Currier
before
,
to
signifie
what
wée
were
,
to
the
Gouernor
of
the
Citty
,
lest
,
by
our
sodayne
approch
,
our
welcome
should
haue
bin
the
lesse
,
and
his
maruell
the
more
.
Who
therevpon
prepared
for
vs
,
a
house
of
the
kings
,
furnisht
with
such
ornaments
as
befitted
a
great
State
.
We
came
into
the
cittie
by
night
,
for
that
we
would
not
be
first
séene
in
our
trauelling
apparrell
.
Howbeit
the
Gouernour
the
next
morning
,
together
with
the
chiefe
of
the
kings
house
,
came
with
a
great
traine
,
to
salute
sir
Anthony
,
assuring
him
that
his
comming
would
be
right
pleasing
and
acceptable
to
the
king
:
but
signified
vnto
him
,
that
hée
then
was
,
in
person
,
against
the
Tartares
,
his
bordurers
,
with
whome
hée
had
warres
)
to
whome
,
at
that
time
,
he
had
,
in
a
pitched
field
,
giuen
a
mightie
ouerthrowe
.
And
therevpon
dismist
a
poste
to
the
king
,
signifying
vnto
him
,
that
there
was
come
,
a
christian
(
right
well
attended
)
to
sée
him
,
by
reason
of
the
great
fame
he
had
heard
of
him
.
Which
when
by
the
poste
he
vnderstoode
,
hée
made
as
much
expedition
as
possibly
hée
could
(
with
respect
had
to
his
great
affaires
)
to
come
to
sir
Anthony
.
There
we
remained
some
thrée
wéeks
before
he
came
.
In
which
time
we
were
banquetted
,
and
right
royally
intreated
,
by
the
Gouernour
and
the
kings
Steward
,
who
brought
vs
to
the
kings
gate
,
to
offer
that
homage
that
all
strangers
doe
,
that
is
,
to
kisse
the
entrance
of
his
Pallace
thrée
times
.
Against
the
kings
comming
,
wée
apparrelled
our selues
in
the
best
maner
we
could
,
with
such
stuffe
as
we
brought
with
vs
,
that
is
to
say
,
sir
Anthony
himselfe
in
cloth
of
golde
,
the
vpper
coate
and
vnder
.
His
brother
,
in
cloth
of
siluer
,
the
vpper
and
vnder
.
Sixe
Gentlemen
,
their
lower
coates
silke
,
the
vpper
,
cloth
of
siluer
.
Foure
of
his
chiefest
seruants
,
in
silke
vnder-coates
,
the
vpper
,
crimsin
veluet
.
The
rest
of
his
seruants
,
in
a
prettie
kinde
of
bombaste
stuffe
,
all
the
vpper
coats
,
watchet
damaske
;
our
whole
number
being
six
and
twenty
,
which
made
a
very
seemly
shew
,
the
fashion
of
our
apparrell
somwhat
differing
from
the
Persian
.
Now
by
this
time
that
we
were
thorowly
thus
furnished
and
fitted
,
the
king
approched
within
fiue
miles
where
he
incamped
:
from
whence
he
sent
to
his
Gouernour
,
commaunding
him
to
furnish
our
company
the
next
day
with
horses
,
to
the
end
we
might
come
foorth
to
méete
him
on
the
way
,
which
was
performed
an
either
part
accordingly
.
He
comming
in
great
triumph
,
hauing
borne
before
him
,
aduaunced
vpon
pikes
,
one
thousand
and
two
hundred
heads
of
the
conquered
Tartares
;
whose
king
,
and
his
sonne
,
hée
led
along
in
triumph
,
hauing
taken
them
prisoners
:
which
triumph
was
continually
more
and
more
graced
and
augmented
,
by
the
country
as
hée
passed
,
each
one
indeuouring
(
according
to
his
power
)
to
giue
him
welcome
from
the
warres
.
Himselfe
being
accompanied
with
all
his
nobles
and
great
men
in
diuerse
troupes
,
that
wee
could
not
sée
any
thing
all
the
way
,
but
men
and
horses
,
with
such
thundering
of
trumpets
,
kettle
drummes
(
carried
vpon
camells
)
and
such
like
instruments
of
warre
,
that
a
man
woulde
haue
thought
,
heauen
and
earth
were
tilting
together
.
Their
trumpets
being
all
straight
,
som
two
yards
and
an
halfe
in
length
,
hauing
such
a
déepe
,
harsh
,
and
horrible
voyce
,
that
it
would
amaze
a
man
to
heare
them
,
if
he
neuer
heard
them
before
.
At
length
we
were
brought
into
the
presence
of
the
King
,
as
hée
thus
passed
in
triumph
:
wee
all
dismounting
our
horses
to
kisse
his
foote
(
as
the
maner
is
)
sir
Anthony
first
,
who
offering
to
performe
that
complement
,
the
king
,
out
of
speciall
and
vnusuall
fauour
,
put
his
hand
betweene
his
mouth
and
his
foote
,
and
would
not
permit
him
to
doe
it
,
so
all
the
rest
in
order
kissed
his
foote
:
which
béeing
done
,
the
king
called
sir
Anthony
vnto
him
,
tolde
him
that
hee
was
right
heartily
welcome
to
him
,
and
to
his
country
,
which
ere
his
departure
he
saide
he
should
find
indéede
.
Who
suffering
not
sir
Anthony
to
reply
,
caused
his
horse
to
be
brought
,
and
so
we
rode
on
next
to
the
king
.
Where
,
in
a
while
after
,
we
might
sée
a
great
troupe
of
curtezans
of
the
citie
come
riding
richly
apparelled
,
to
salute
the
king
,
and
to
welcome
him
from
his
warres
.
Their
apparel
little
differing
in
fashion
from
the
mens
,
but
only
in
their
head
attire
and
vpper
coats
.
They
weare
bréeches
,
and
ride
astride
as
men
do
,
and
came
with
such
a
crie
as
the
wilde
Irish
make
.
The
multitude
of
people
were
so
great
(
consisting
of
Actors
and
Spectators
)
that
we
has
much
adoe
in
sixe
houres
to
passe
thrée
miles
,
which
was
from
the
place
where
we
met
the
king
,
to
the
market
place
of
the
Cittie
.
Vnto
which
at
length
being
come
,
the
king
brought
vs
to
the
doore
of
the
house
where
we
should
alight
,
scituate
in
the
same
,
commaunding
one
of
his
great
men
to
place
vs
therein
,
whilst
himselfe
rid
about
some
houre
or
two
to
sée
the
shewes
and
matters
of
triumph
perfourmed
.
Which
being
done
,
he
returned
to
sir
Anthony
,
where
being
set
vpon
the
ground
,
with
carpets
vnder
him
,
according
to
the
custome
of
the
countrey
,
commaunding
stooles
to
be
brought
for
sir
Anthony
and
his
brother
:
there
sir
Anthony
made
his
Oration
:
which
being
endes
,
the
king
discoursed
with
him
of
his
trauelles
,
of
his
natiue
countrey
,
the
manner
of
gouernement
there
,
and
of
diuerse
other
things
that
accidentally
became
then
subiect
to
their
discourse
:
the
particularities
whereof
sir
Anthony
answered
,
to
the
kings
high
contentment
:
and
further
,
possest
the
king
with
such
a
burning
desire
to
inuade
the
Turks
dominions
(
by
reason
his
strength
was
so
small
,
as
before
is
mentioned
,
and
then
at
large
sir
Anthony
vnfolded
)
that
he
would
on
the
very
necke
of
that
his
late
victorie
,
before
his
blood
was
colde
(
as
it
were
)
haue
entred
into
action
against
the
Turke
,
to
the
which
sir
Anthony
ceased
not
to
animate
him
,
for
a
double
grudge
hée
bare
him
,
to
witte
,
for
being
such
a
mortall
ennemy
to
Christ
,
and
for
vsing
them
so
like
mortall
ennemies
,
being
christians
:
howbeit
,
that
expedition
was
,
for
a
time
,
deferred
,
yet
neuerthelesse
fully
resolued
on
.
These
,
and
the
like
,
made
the
King
instantly
to
conceiue
so
excéeding
well
,
and
grew
more
and
more
into
such
liking
of
sir
Anthony
,
that
once
a
day
at
the
least
,
he
would
send
for
him
to
conferre
,
and
complement
with
him
:
yea
sometimes
hée
must
be
sent
for
to
come
to
his
bed-chamber
at
midnight
(
accompanied
with
his
brother
)
for
that
purpose
.
The
king
continued
in
that
towne
about
some
thirty
dayes
,
where
many
nights
the
people
entertained
him
with
spectacles
and
shewes
in
their
Basars
,
which
we
doe
call
shoppes
,
all
couered
ouer
head
,
as
the
Royall
Exchange
.
At
which
alwayes
we
must
méete
the
king
.
Their
manner
is
to
make
the
greatest
shew
of
those
wares
they
haue
,
in
foure
long
stréetes
,
in
the
middest
whereof
is
a
round
kinde
of
stage
,
couered
with
costly
carpets
,
whereon
is
layde
all
kinde
of
fruites
,
confections
,
and
wine
for
the
king
to
banquet
withall
.
After
that
he
hath
séene
all
the
shewes
,
towardes
night
,
they
set
vp
as
many
lights
as
possible
can
stand
one
by
another
,
consisting
all
of
lamps
;
so
that
,
by
estimation
,
there
burneth
at
once
in
those
foure
stréetes
a
hundred
thousand
lamps
,
so
close
vpon
,
and
round
about
their
stalls
vpon
the
ground
,
that
a
man
can
hardly
put
his
hand
betwéene
each
lampe
.
After
which
sights
,
he
goeth
to
that
place
appointed
for
the
banquet
,
where
banqueting
till
midnight
,
béeing
solaced
all
the
while
with
all
kinds
of
musicke
,
of
Instruments
,
and
voice
,
with
boyes
and
Curtezans
,
dauncing
strange
kinds
of
Iigges
and
Lauoltaes
:
without
which
Curtezans
,
no
banquet
,
be
it
neuer
so
costly
hath
any
rellish
with
them
.
Howbeit
no
mans
wife
comes
thereat
;
neither
is
it
possible
(
or
if
it
be
,
very
rarely
)
for
a
man
once
to
sée
a
woman
if
shée
be
once
married
,
and
her
husband
liuing
,
no
,
though
it
be
her
owne
naturall
brother
.
So
iclous
are
husbands
of
their
wiues
loues
and
chastities
,
and
such
cause
of
suspition
is
there
amongst
them
in
that
respect
.
There
is
a
custome
in
that
country
,
that
if
the
King
purpose
to
make
any
man
great
,
by
enoblizing
him
,
he
hath
a
very
rich
chaire
sette
with
stones
carried
after
him
,
wherein
he
placeth
that
man
at
his
banquet
in
publike
assembly
.
This
chaire
was
brought
for
sir
Anthony
to
sit
in
,
and
he
by
the
King
placed
therein
accordingly
.
Which
made
the
people
much
to
admire
that
accident
,
in
that
hee
vouchsafed
that
high
fauour
to
a
stranger
,
without
desert
,
or
experience
of
his
wórth
:
whereas
accustomably
he
would
haue
great
proofe
of
a
mans
worthinesse
,
before
he
would
so
vouchsafe
to
dignifie
him
.
Instantly
as
he
caused
sir
Anthony
to
sit
,
he
gaue
him
his
owne
girdle
from
about
him
for
a
further
fauour
:
which
was
all
of
some
golden
stuffe
,
very
curious
and
costly
,
thrée
yards
long
,
and
an
ell
broade
.
Thrée
dayes
after
he
sent
a
Present
to
sir
Anthony
béeing
a
certaine
demonstration
of
the
great
estimation
he
hadde
him
in
.
Which
was
,
fortie
horses
furnished
with
saddles
&c.
foure
of
which
were
very
rich
and
faire
,
fit
for
the
proper
vse
of
any
Prince
,
twelue
camels
for
carriage
,
together
with
fix
mules
,
foure
and
twenty
carpets
,
most
of
them
rich
and
faire
,
thrée
Tents
or
Pauilions
,
with
all
other
necessaries
of
house
;
last
of
al
,
six
men
laden
with
siluer
.
The
steward
that
brought
it
,
tolde
sir
Anthony
that
the
King
had
sent
him
that
,
to
defray
his
charges
till
the
next
remoue
,
which
was
ten
dayes
off
.
I
néede
not
speake
more
of
the
Kings
bountie
,
let
the
world
,
by
this
,
imagin
the
rest
,
and
how
he
entreated
Sir
Anthony
.
And
albeit
the
fashion
and
mauer
of
the
Persians
is
not
vnknowne
to
many
of
our
English
nation
,
as
hauing
,
by
their
owne
trauells
,
attained
that
knowledge
:
or
by
reading
,
or
credible
report
bin
informed
thereof
:
Yet
somewhat
to
speake
touching
the
same
,
I
hold
it
not
altogether
amisse
,
for
the
better
information
of
those
(
my
countrymen
)
that
doe
not
so
well
know
it
.
For
their
sitting
at
meate
on
the
ground
,
with
their
manner
of
foode
and
féeding
,
it
is
much
after
the
Turkish
guise
.
Their
deuotion
as
the
Turkes
,
but
somwhat
different
in
religion
.
As
the
Persian
praieth
only
to
Mahomet
,
and
Mortus
Ally
,
the
Turke
to
those
two
,
and
to
three
other
that
were
Mahomets
seruants
.
Against
which
three
,
the
Persian
stil
inueighs
,
and
hath
in
al
townes
,
men
that
carry
axes
on
their
shoulders
,
challenging
them
to
rise
againe
,
and
they
are
there
prest
to
incounter
them
by
force
of
armes
.
They
vse
much
exercise
,
as
hawking
and
hunting
,
with
very
much
shooting
.
Their
hawkes
are
excellent
good
,
which
they
beare
on
their
right
hand
,
without
hood
or
bell
.
The
merchandize
and
commodities
which
Persia
yéeldeth
,
are
silkes
,
both
rawe
,
and
otherwise
,
of
all
sutes
and
colours
.
Spices
,
drugges
,
pearles
,
and
other
pretious
Iems
:
together
with
carpets
of
diuers
kinds
.
These
,
with
many
other
commodities
of
this
nature
,
Persia
plentifully
affoordeth
.
They
write
from
the
right
side
of
the
paper
to
the
left
like
the
Turkes
,
contrary
to
our
manner
.
Their
Letters
or
Characters
being
so
irregular
,
and
(
as
we
would
thinke
)
deformed
,
that
to
vs
it
séemeth
the
writing
of
some
vtterly
vnskilfull
in
letters
or
learning
,
or
as
a
wilde
kind
of
scribling
,
that
hath
therein
neither
forme
nor
matter
:
howbeit
they
affirm
their
writing
is
most
compendious
,
and
euery
letter
(
well
néere
)
with
his
circumfler
importeth
a
whole
word
,
though
consisting
of
many
sillables
.
They
haue
not
many
Bookes
,
much
lesse
great
Libraries
amongst
their
best
Clarkes
.
They
are
no
learned
nation
,
but
ignorant
in
all
kinde
of
liberall
or
learned
Sciences
,
and
almost
of
all
other
Arts
and
Faculties
,
except
it
be
in
certaine
things
pertaining
to
horses
furniture
,
and
some
kindes
of
carpettings
and
silke
workes
,
wherein
they
excell
.
They
haue
neither
golde
nor
siluer
from
any
mines
of
their
owne
,
for
they
haue
none
:
howbeit
they
haue
money
made
of
both
kindes
,
in
great
plenty
,
together
with
some
small
coyne
made
of
copper
,
like
our
Bristow
tokens
.
Theyr
conceit
of
Christ
is
,
that
hée
was
a
very
great
Prophet
,
and
a
most
holy
and
religious
man
,
but
no
way
comparable
to
Mahomet
:
for
Mahomet
(
say
they
)
was
that
finall
prophet
,
by
whom
all
things
were
,
and
are
to
be
perfected
and
consummated
.
They
further
say
,
that
because
God
had
neuer
wife
,
therefore
Christ
cannot
possibly
be
his
sonne
.
If
any
man
conspire
treason
against
the
king
,
or
otherwise
capitally
offend
him
,
hée
is
punished
,
not
onely
in
his
owne
person
,
but
in
his
whole
Tribe
.
If
they
affirme
any
matter
with
an
othe
,
they
swear
by
God
and
Mahomet
,
or
Mortus
Ally
:
and
when
they
would
be
beléeued
,
they
sweare
by
all
thrée
at
once
.
They
circumcise
their
children
at
seauen
yéeres
olde
,
according
to
the
custome
of
their
neighbour
the
Turks
.
In
making
water
,
the
men
kowre
downe
like
the
women
,
and
when
they
doe
it
,
they
haue
a
spowte
or
springer
,
to
spirt
some
parte
of
their
water
vppon
their
priuy
partes
,
aswell
men
as
women
,
which
they
holde
as
a
kinde
of
religious
duty
,
and
which
in
no
sort
must
be
neglected
.
They
buy
and
sell
men
and
women
in
the
market
,
which
is
a
principal
merchandise
of
theirs
among
them selues
.
If
they
buy
any
yoong
women
there
,
they
féele
them
euery
where
.
If
a
man
buy
a
bond-woman
for
his
owne
carnalitie
,
and
she
prooue
false
to
him
,
hée
may
(
by
their
lawe
)
kill
her
,
as
he
may
a
dog
in
England
.
In
praying
,
they
turne
their
faces
towardes
the
South
,
as
wee
doe
towardes
the
East
,
because
Mecha
where
Mahomet
is
encoffined
in
yron
(
which
by
force
of
a
Temples
roofe
,
consisting
of
Adamant
,
hangeth
,
as
it
were
,
by
way
of
myracle
in
the
ayre
)
lieth
in
Arabia
,
which
is
South
from
them
.
To
which
,
whosoeuer
shall
go
on
pilgrimage
(
as
many
of
them
doe
)
they
are
euer
held
for
most
holy
and
sacred
Saintes
,
which
they
call
Setes
,
and
not
onely
themselues
are
so
reputed
,
but
the
posteritie
of
that
man
are
so
accounted
,
and
of
themselues
are
so
perswaded
.
For
if
one
shall
in
any
thing
contradict
them
,
either
in
saying
or
in
dooing
,
they
will
ouer-rule
him
,
and
exact
credit
and
beléefe
with
all
obedience
,
by
saying
he
is
a
Saint
at
least
,
and
therefore
,
on
paine
of
damnation
,
must
be
beléeued
,
and
highly
estéemed
although
hée
lie
neuer
so
loudely
,
and
do
neuer
so
lewdly
.
Their
buildings
are
(
for
the
most
parte
)
made
of
bricke
,
hardned
in
the
sand
,
not
made
with
fire
,
as
durs
are
:
wherein
they
haue
very
little
furniture
other
then
carpets
vpon
their
floores
;
and
such
the
poorest
man
hath
,
but
the
goodnes
thereof
is
according
to
the
abilitie
of
the
owners
:
their
houses
are
all
made
with
flatte
roofes
without
,
couered
with
a
kinde
of
plaister
,
or
earth
spred
plaisterwise
.
Néere
vnto
a
towne
called
Backo
in
Persia
,
there
issueth
out
of
the
earth
in
the
manner
of
a
water-spring
,
a
certaine
kind
of
oyle
,
in
great
abundance
,
which
they
(
from
all
parts
of
the
Persian
dominions
)
do
fetch
vpon
Camels
,
Kine
,
and
Asses
,
to
burne
in
lamps
,
which
are
the
lights
they
vse
in
their
houses
.
The
people
are
now
very
curteous
,
vsing
all
strangers
with
great
kindnesse
and
ciuilitie
,
especially
since
this
King
hath
gouerned
.
Howbeit
(
by
report
)
they
haue
béene
heretofore
little
better
(
in
that
respect
)
then
the
Turks
.
The
names
of
the
parts
of
Persia
,
that
in
times
past
were
distinct
kingdomes
,
are
Casuin
,
Hasphane
,
Seraze
,
Knghgollo
,
Suster
,
Curdistan
,
Hammadan
,
Kirman
,
vpon
Corrozan
.
These
this
King
had
when
he
came
first
to
the
crowne
;
these
following
he
tooke
and
wan
since
.
Tuntabas
,
Coffe
,
Corrazon
,
Buchora
,
Vrgans
,
Taskane
,
Strabat
,
the
kingdoms
of
Mascendran
,
Marcu
,
Rustendar
,
Nure-cugge
.
The
kingdomes
of
Ieglands
;
the
first
Iegland
,
Reast
,
Saughtoser
,
Caskeger
,
Tawlis
,
Aderbegsan
,
béeing
a
great
kingdome
.
These
townes
following
were
lost
by
his
Predecessors
to
the
Turke
.
viz.
Tawris
,
Seruan
,
Samachy
,
Iange
,
Berthe
,
with
many
others
;
which
the
Persian
doth
now
hope
to
recouer
;
béeing
farre
better
able
then
in
times
past
,
for
that
he
hath
drawne
all
the
fore-mentioned
townes
and
parts
into
his
possession
:
which
,
when
his
Predecessors
would
inuade
the
Turke
before
,
these
would
impeach
and
mollest
them
behinde
:
so
that
now
he
stands
secure
from
all
inuasion
of
the
borderers
,
whereby
he
is
able
to
carry
all
his
force
cléere
,
without
interruption
against
the
Turke
,
which
at
the
least
will
be
foure
hundred
thousand
strong
.
Vpon
which
vndertaking
he
is
(
as
before
was
mentioned
)
fully
resolued
:
but
first
by
sir
Anthonies
aduice
,
he
is
determined
to
ioyne
in
league
,
amitie
,
and
confederacie
with
the
Christian
princes
,
by
meanes
whereof
,
he
may
the
sooner
preuaile
in
his
purpose
,
and
thereby
vtterly
suppresse
the
Turke
.
Howbeit
his
councellers
were
all
obstinately
bent
against
these
determinations
and
procéedings
at
the
first
,
yet
the
king
with
his
generall
,
who
is
a
Georgian
Christian
(
still
animated
and
prouoked
therevnto
by
sir
Anthonies
forcible
perswasions
)
were
resolute
and
confident
in
the
cause
,
and
béeing
so
irremouable
,
at
last
preuailed
,
and
all
the
rest
absolutely
assented
.
And
by
that
mutuall
consent
of
the
king
and
his
counsell
,
no
man
was
thought
so
sit
to
be
imployed
in
Embassie
to
the
christian
princes
(
to
the
purpose
aboue
recited
)
as
sir
Anthony
béeing
a
Christian
,
and
the
first
mouer
of
the
king
to
these
vndertakings
,
appointing
a
great
man
of
the
Persians
to
accompany
him
in
those
businesses
,
but
the
whole
burden
thereof
to
lie
onely
vpon
sir
Anthony
,
who
vndertooke
the
same
accordinglyly
.
Which
béeing
concluded
,
and
thus
vndertaken
,
wée
were
ready
to
departe
from
the
Kings
court
,
lying
then
at
Hasphane
,
when
suddainly
there
came
newes
of
a
Portingall
fryer
,
that
was
comming
thither
,
accompanied
with
two
other
fryers
,
and
foure
seruants
:
this
fryer
stayed
some
thrée
miles
off
the
towne
,
and
sent
the
other
two
with
letters
to
sir
Anthony
;
whereby
he
signified
vnto
him
that
he
was
the
last
King
of
Portingales
brother
,
and
that
hee
was
sent
by
the
King
of
Spaine
as
Procurator
generall
of
al
the
East
Indies
.
Sir
Anthony
beléeuing
it
,
went
himselfe
,
accompanied
with
as
many
christians
as
he
could
get
,
to
the
Frigot
.
And
after
mutuall
gréetings
,
hée
tolde
sir
Anthony
,
that
hearing
of
his
great
and
weighty
businesses
,
and
so
godly
a
worke
(
he
being
a
great
bishoppe
of
the
king
of
Spaines
)
came
posting
night
and
day
to
assist
him
therein
.
Which
sir
Anthony
was
right
glad
of
,
and
to
manifest
the
same
the
better
,
hée
brought
him
along
to
his
owne
house
,
and
there
dislodged
his
brother
to
lodge
him
.
This
being
doone
,
hée
tolde
sir
Anthony
,
that
hée
greatly
desired
to
sée
the
King
,
for
that
hée
had
a
present
to
bestow
on
him
,
which
sir
Anthony
soone
procured
.
But
now
,
by
the
way
,
this
present
was
deliuered
him
in
trust
,
to
be
deliuered
to
the
king
,
howbeit
hée
presented
it
in
his
owne
name
,
in
requitall
whereof
the
King
gaue
him
a
Crucifixe
woorth
(
by
estimation
)
a
hundred
pounds
and
better
:
which
villany
,
and
many
others
,
sir
Anthony
afterwards
discouered
,
though
the
meane
while
he
held
him
for
a
holy
man
.
Ere
we
departed
from
the
King
,
he
would
faine
(
by
the
Kings
Commission
)
haue
bin
an
Agent
in
the
present
action
,
wherein
sir
Anthony
was
principally
employed
,
and
likely
he
was
to
haue
bin
one
,
with
vniuersall
consent
,
but
that
the
writings
&
all
other
things
therevnto
incident
were
before
perfected
and
finished
.
And
séeing
he
could
be
no
actor
(
as
hée
defired
)
by
reason
thereof
,
hee
intreated
sir
Anthony
to
procure
the
Kings
fauourable
letters
,
in
his
behalfe
,
to
the
Pope
,
and
the
King
of
Spaine
;
which
sir
Anthony
did
accordingly
.
In
requitall
whereof
,
he
beganne
(
vnder-hand
)
to
deale
with
those
of
the
Kings
councell
,
which
had
bin
backewards
in
the
beginning
of
these
businesses
,
who
assured
them
,
that
sir
Anthony
was
not
able
to
performe
so
great
a
negotiation
.
Which
sir
Anthony
perceiuing
,
hée
made
all
the
haste
he
possibly
could
to
be
gone
,
the
rather
,
because
hée
had
waded
somewhat
too
farre
with
this
execrable
frier
,
who
the
first
night
he
lodged
in
sir
Anthonies
house
,
found
the
meanes
to
haue
a
Persian
curtezan
to
lie
with
him
,
and
so
had
night
by
night
during
his
continuannce
there
;
which
if
he
wanted
,
hée
would
hyre
a
boy
zodomitically
to
vse
.
And
that
he
was
a
zodomiticall
wretch
,
it
dooth
appeare
hereby
:
sir
Anthony
at
his
first
comming
,
bought
twoo
christian
boies
in
the
market
,
which
afterwardes
he
bestowed
on
this
Frier
,
whose
name
was
Nicolao
deMelo
.
He
no
sooner
had
them
,
but
hée
was
in
hand
with
them
concerning
his
zodomiticall
villany
.
The
boyes
finding
whereto
hée
was
inclined
(
beeing
incessauntly
importuned
by
him
,
to
yéelde
to
his
beastly
desire
,
complained
to
him
that
solde
them
,
hée
likewise
to
the
Officer
,
the
Officer
to
the
King
,
by
meanes
whereof
the
King
espied
his
villany
.
Whereuppon
the
king
sent
for
the
boyes
from
him
,
and
sent
him
worde
,
that
were
it
not
for
sir
Anthonies
sake
,
he
should
loose
his
head
.
Soone
after
wée
departed
,
taking
the
Frier
and
one
of
his
fellowes
with
vs
,
hauing
eightéene
dayes
iourney
from
the
Persian
Court
to
Iegland
,
where
wée
were
imbarked
to
crosse
the
Caspian
sea
.
In
which
time
,
the
frier
confessed
hée
was
but
an
ordinary
Augustine
frier
,
and
in
a
gamesome
vaine
hée
further
confessed
how
he
woulde
bring
mennes
wiues
,
after
hée
had
shriuen
them
,
to
his
bent
,
as
taking
aduantage
of
their
confessed
faultes
:
and
to
close
vppe
this
,
and
such
like
good
talke
in
the
day
,
wée
shoulde
be
sure
to
take
him
with
a
whoore
at
night
.
And
I
will
tell
you
a
ieast
concerning
him
,
which
I
hadde
almost
forgotten
.
One
day
,
at
Casbin
hée
sent
his
man
to
a
whoore
,
féeing
her
with
two
Chickins
,
(
which
is
two
rialles
)
to
come
vnto
him
at
night
,
taking
vppon
him
the
name
of
the
Embassador
.
The
kinde
wench
being
true
of
promise
,
came
vnto
sir
Anthony
,
who
demaunding
the
cause
of
her
comming
,
shee
tolde
him
all
,
&c.
So
the
wench
went
away
gratis
with
the
money
,
the
frier
not
daring
to
demaund
it
.
Thus
hauing
merrily
passed
the
time
with
this
sory
Frier
,
and
being
come
to
the
place
where
we
shoulde
be
imbarked
,
wée
stayed
there
one
moneth
for
the
Persian
Péere
,
that
was
to
goe
along
with
vs
,
as
before
is
mentioned
.
Vpon
whose
comming
,
wée
presently
imbarked
our selues
for
Haster-caune
,
which
is
the
first
landing
place
of
the
Emperour
of
Rusciaes
countrey
to
Persia
ward
.
Vpon
the
Caspian
sea
(
which
wée
were
to
crosse
)
wée
were
two
moneths
before
wée
landed
:
which
time
wée
indured
with
much
paine
,
and
no
lesse
feare
,
hauing
(
besides
the
naturall
roughnesse
of
the
sea
)
very
much
foule
and
stormy
weather
:
by
reason
whereof
wée
had
béene
like
to
haue
suffered
shippewracke
,
which
twice
strooke
on
ground
,
so
that
wée
were
constrained
to
disburden
the
same
of
a
great
parte
of
our
substaunce
.
Howbeit
in
the
end
God
so
blessed
vs
,
that
in
two
moneths
wee
came
to
our
wished
harborow
.
Where
being
arriued
,
the
Gouernor
hauing
intelligence
of
our
landing
,
sent
a
Captayne
with
a
guarde
to
receiue
vs
,
and
to
conduct
vs
to
the
castle
of
Haster-caune
,
where
was
landed
but
the
day
before
,
an
Embassadour
that
the
King
of
Persia
had
sent
a
moneth
before
,
onely
to
make
our
passage
through
the
Emperour
of
Ruscia
his
countrey
.
From
which
castle
to
Musco
towne
we
were
,
by
riuer
,
and
by
land
,
tenne
wéekes
passing
.
All
which
time
sir
Anthony
and
his
company
,
with
the
other
Embassadors
,
and
their
attendants
,
were
all
at
the
charge
of
the
Ruscian
Emperour
(
for
so
is
the
custome
of
that
Country
,
to
all
Trauellers
of
that
nature
,
as
long
as
they
are
passing
through
his
dominions
)
who
eates
such
meate
as
is
brought
before
them
gratis
,
hauing
withall
,
a
guarde
set
ouer
them
,
so
that
they
are
little
better
then
prisoners
,
as
long
as
they
are
within
the
limites
of
his
territories
.
From
Haster-caune
we
pasit
by
bote
along
the
mighty
Riuer
of
Volgo
,
vntill
we
canie
to
a
towne
named
Negson
,
which
was
seauen
weekes
passage
.
In
which
time
,
wée
sawe
nothing
woorthy
the
noting
,
but
thrée
or
foure
woodden
Eastles
or
Blocke-houses
to
guarde
that
Riuer
,
which
Riuer
dooth
bring
maruellous
great
commodities
to
the
Emperour
,
and
to
the
whole
countrey
.
Diuerse
Tartars
passing
from
place
to
place
about
that
Riuer
,
liuing
in
little
houses
made
vpon
whéeles
,
and
are
carried
too
and
fro
,
hauing
aboundaunce
of
cattell
,
liue
so
in
subiection
to
the
Emperor
,
paying
him
tribute
,
&c.
One
onely
faire
Cittie
we
saw
all
that
while
called
Gassane
,
wherein
wee
were
:
from
whence
wée
passed
to
Negson
a
or
sayd
,
where
,
by
the
way
,
fel
out
a
tarre
betwéene
sir
Anthony
and
the
other
Embassador
,
because
sir
Anthony
presumed
to
reprehend
him
for
diuers
misdemeanors
which
hée
committed
,
to
the
dishonor
of
his
king
and
countrey
:
Insomuch
,
that
had
wée
not
had
guarde
in
our
company
,
one
of
vs
had
killed
another
.
Leauing
héere
a
while
,
I
will
turne
agayne
to
the
Frier
,
who
was
by
this
time
growne
into
mortall
hatred
wyth
hys
fellow
Frier
,
of
whome
before
I
spake
,
whose
name
was
Alfonso
,
a
Frier
of
the
order
of
Saint
Francis
.
Which
Frier
had
acquainted
sir
Anthony
,
that
Frier
Nicolao
had
spent
his
life
most
lewdly
in
the
Indiaes
,
the
particularities
whereof
hée
at
large
related
.
Morcouer
,
hée
tolde
hym
,
that
by
reason
of
his
licentious
life
,
the
king
of
Spaine
had
sent
for
hym
,
because
hée
did
much
more
hurte
than
good
in
those
parts
,
but
neuer
would
come
vntill
nowe
that
hée
was
going
thitherward
.
He
also
tolde
sir
Anthony
,
that
that
present
which
hée
deliuered
the
king
of
Persia
in
his
owne
name
,
was
sent
by
a
friend
of
the
kings
from
Ormous
,
by
another
,
who
had
withal
,
a
letter
to
the
king
.
Which
bearer
,
(
béeing
of
his
acquaintance
)
hée
inueigled
and
inticed
,
by
the
gift
of
fifty
Crownes
,
and
sayre
wordes
,
to
deliuer
hym
the
present
,
together
with
the
Letter
to
carry
to
the
king
,
who
finally
preuayled
wyth
hym
.
And
when
hée
came
to
Persia
,
hée
suppressed
the
letter
,
but
delyuered
the
present
in
his
owne
name
,
as
beefore
is
declared
.
Vppon
discouery
of
which
villanies
,
sir
Anthony
tooke
hym
prisoner
,
and
earried
him
along
wyth
hym
,
as
one
depriued
of
former
liberty
.
And
being
come
to
Negson
,
we
stayed
there
neare
hand
a
moneth
.
Towardes
the
end
whereof
the
Emperour
sent
a
great
man
of
his
Court
thither
,
for
to
accompany
and
conduct
vs
to
Musco
,
who
gaue
the
preheminence
to
the
Persian
Embassador
,
in
that
hée
was
Embassadour
to
the
Emperour
from
the
Persian
,
and
sir
Anthony
but
a
passenger
through
his
countrey
,
as
hée
estéemed
hym
,
and
so
did
vse
at
his
pleasure
,
to
fir
Anthonies
small
contentment
,
vntill
we
came
to
Musco
,
where
wée
were
entertayned
in
the
best
forte
they
could
,
wyth
a
crue
of
aqua
vitae-bellyed
fellowes
,
clad
in
coates
of
cloth
of
gold
:
which
shew
being
ended
,
for
the
first
encounter
those
coates
were
put
vp
agayne
into
the
Treasury
or
Wardrobe
,
and
wée
shut
vp
in
prison
for
tenne
dayes
,
yea
all
accesse
of
others
to
vs
,
or
we
to
them
was
thereby
vtterly
harred
.
In
which
time
wée
sent
to
entreate
,
that
eyther
our
English
merchants
might
be
permitted
to
come
toovs
,
or
that
wée
might
goe
or
send
to
them
for
necessaries
,
because
we
were
not
fitted
wyth
clothes
,
(
as
we
thought
)
conuenient
for
the
Emperors
presence
.
Where
vpon
the
Lord
Chauncellor
sent
for
the
merchants
,
enquyring
of
them
what
sir
Anthony
was
,
and
whether
they
durst
giue
hym
any
credite
.
To
whome
they
replyed
,
that
hée
was
nobly
descended
,
and
alied
euen
to
the
best
men
of
England
:
yea
,
and
that
they
woulde
giue
hym
credite
for
as
much
as
they
were
woorth
.
Here
vppon
they
had
liberty
to
send
vs
such
necessaries
as
wée
sent
for
,
but
no
liberty
to
come
to
vs
,
much
lesse
we
to
them
.
The
tenth
day
wée
were
sent
for
to
come
before
the
Emperor
after
theyr
order
,
which
was
,
to
lay
downe
in
a
note
,
howe
euery
man
shoulde
bee
marshalled
in
comming
(
béeing
all
on
horsebacke
)
wherein
the
Persian
Embassadour
was
appoynted
by
the
Emperour
to
haue
the
first
and
chiefe
place
,
the
next
,
that
Persian
that
was
sent
but
to
accompany
sir
Anthony
,
and
the
last
of
the
thrée
shoulde
be
sir
Anthony
hymsefie
.
Which
when
sir
Anthony
perceyued
,
hée
vtterly
refused
to
goe
in
that
order
,
because
that
he
,
to
whose
trust
and
charge
the
whole
businesse
had
béene
cemmitted
,
and
by
whome
the
same
was
solely
procured
:
by
which
Persia
likewise
shoulde
be
infinitely
benefited
(
specially
he
being
a
christian
,
and
they
Pagans
)
should
be
put
hindermost
in
the
march
,
that
was
the
formost
in
the
matter
.
By
the
meanes
of
which
refusall
,
hée
purchased
the
Emperours
displeasure
:
and
to
manifest
the
same
,
first
hée
tooke
the
Frier
from
sir
Anthony
,
and
gaue
him
his
libertie
to
goe
whither
hée
thought
good
.
Next
,
hée
daily
sent
his
great
Dukes
to
examine
sir
Anthony
vpon
diuers
friuolous
particularities
,
to
prooue
,
if
they
thereby
might
groape
out
some
matter
of
aduantage
against
him
.
Thus
daily
hée
was
extreamely
vexed
and
molested
by
the
Emperour
,
the
Persian
Embassadour
,
withall
,
setting
on
the
Frier
vnder-hand
,
to
deuise
all
the
villany
hée
could
against
him
,
as
to
say
,
hée
knew
sir
Anthony
to
be
but
a
man
of
meane
parentage
,
and
also
,
that
hee
was
come
but
as
a
Spic
through
the
Countrey
for
purposes
tending
to
his
owne
good
,
and
not
of
Persia
and
Christendome
,
as
hée
pretended
.
Whereupon
they
tooke
all
the
kings
Letters
from
him
,
and
opened
them
,
to
know
the
purport
thereof
.
Soone
after
sir
Anthony
and
the
Frier
were
brought
before
the
Commissioners
to
be
further
examined
:
where
sir
Anthony
(
béeing
inflamed
with
choler
,
by
reason
of
his
excéeding
ill
vsage
,
notwithstanding
the
goodnesse
of
the
cause
of
his
comming
)
demaunded
whether
the
Emperour
did
euer
purpose
to
send
any
Embassadours
to
any
other
Countries
?
Protesting
,
that
if
euer
hée
mette
with
them
in
any
partes
of
the
world
,
besides
theyr
owne
,
hée
would
indeuour
to
let
them
knowe
hée
was
not
halfe
so
well
intreated
in
Ruscia
,
as
the
cause
of
his
comming
of
right
deserued
,
and
the
Emperour
,
by
the
lawes
diuine
and
ciuil
ought
to
haue
perfourmed
,
and
the
rather
,
because
hée
was
a
Christian
,
such
as
hée
pretends
himselfe
to
be
,
and
came
(
as
became
a
christian
)
for
the
generall
good
of
al
Christendome
,
the
Persian
being
stirred
vp
therevnto
by
his
onely
meanes
.
Wherevpon
the
Frier
in
terms
thwarted
sir
Anthony
,
whose
blood
already
boyled
,
with
the
excesse
of
his
chollers
heate
,
which
as
then
abounded
.
And
being
by
that
gracelesse
and
vngratefull
Frier
further
prouoked
,
hee
(
not
able
,
though
instantly
he
should
haue
died
for
it
)
to
suppresse
his
heate
,
gaue
the
fatte
Frier
such
a
sound
box
on
the
face
(
his
double
cause
of
choller
redoubling
his
might
,
desire
of
reuenge
withall
augmenting
the
same
)
that
downe
falles
the
Frier
,
as
if
hée
had
béene
strooke
with
a
thunder-bolt
.
Which
béeing
doone
,
(
with
that
courage
and
high
resolution
which
well
appéered
in
his
lookes
,
wordes
,
and
déedes
)
they
foorthwith
gaue
ouer
examination
,
because
they
had
too
far
examined
sir
Anthonies
patience
,
which
well
they
with
feare
(
as
I
thinke
)
sawe
,
and
the
Frier
(
almost
past
feare
)
did
farre
better
féele
.
Wherevpon
they
went
instantly
to
the
Emperour
,
and
informed
him
of
all
that
had
happened
,
and
howe
sir
Anthony
was
resolued
.
For
which
(
as
by
the
euent
it
appéered
)
hée
was
vsed
the
better
.
For
from
thence
forward
we
had
liberty
to
go
to
the
Englishmen
,
of
whom
we
were
very
honorably
entertained
,
and
royally
feasted
.
Howbeit
wée
were
constrained
to
remaine
there
sixe
moneths
,
expecting
euery
day
(
for
all
this
)
some
mischiefe
to
be
doone
vnto
vs
,
or
to
be
sent
into
some
parte
of
his
country
to
be
kept
,
where
wée
shoulde
not
haue
heard
from
our
friendes
in
haste
,
which
we
feared
worse
then
death
.
Yet
,
in
the
end
,
wée
were
eftsoones
sent
for
before
the
priuy
councell
,
where
sir
Anthony
had
his
charge
to
be
gone
,
which
was
no
small
ioy
to
vs
all
.
But
the
day
before
wée
left
Muscouia
,
it
was
my
fortune
to
sée
the
King
,
and
his
Quéene
,
in
cerimonious
and
triumphant
manner
passing
out
of
the
Citty
,
with
a
great
Image
,
and
a
huge
Bell
,
to
offer
to
a
certayne
Friery
some
thirty
miles
off
,
which
was
performed
in
this
sorte
.
First
,
all
the
morning
diuers
troupes
of
horse
passed
out
of
the
Citty
,
to
stand
ready
to
receiue
him
at
his
comming
out
of
the
gate
.
About
midday
the
King
setting
forwards
,

guard
formost
,

horsebacke
,
to
the
number
of
fiue
hundred
,
all
clad
in
stammel
coats
,
riding
in
ranke
,
thrée

three
,
with
bows
,
and
arrowes
,
and
swords
girt
to
them
,
as
also
hatchets
vnder
the
one
thigh
.
After
the
guarde
were
ledde
,
by
twenty
men
,
twenty
goodly
horses
,
with
very
rich
and
curious
saddles
,
and
ten
more
for
his
sonne
and
heire
apparant
,
béeing
a
childe

.
After
which
was
ledde
,
in
like
sorte
,
twenty
beutifull
white

,

the
Quéenes
chariots
,
hauing
onely
vppon
them
a
fine
sheete
,
and
on
theyr
heades
a
crimesin
veluet
bridle
.
After
them
came
a
great
number
of
Friers
in
theyr
rich
coapes
,
singing
,
carrying
many
pictures
and
lights
.
After
them
followed
the
greatest
parte
of
the
merchants
of
the
Citty
.
Next
them
was

Kings

that
day
,
together
with
his
sonnes
:
the
kings

of

.
Then
followed

the
Archbishoppes
,
Bishoppes
,
and
great
Prelates
singing
in
their

hauing
huge
Images
borne

them
,
béeing
very
richly
inlayed
,
with
pretious
Iems
of
diuerse
colours
,
and
lights
about
them
.
Then
followed
the
king
himselfe
,
who
had
in
his
left
hand
his
sonne
aboue
mentioned
,
and
in
his
right
hand

Next

supported
on
eyther

by
two
olde
Ladies
,

euen
thickely
plaistered

attended

(

which
they
holde

)
deceiued
not

)
All

curiously
wrought

hauing

We
neuer

Next

the
first
with
tenne
fayre
white
horses
,
two
and
two
,
the
second
with
eight
,
and
the
third
with
sixe
in
like
order
:
which
chariots
were
al
very
rich
and
gorgeous
within
and
without
.
After
which
,
all
the
noble
men
passed
in
coaches
.
Then
was
caried
,
in
a
great
chest
,
the
forenamed
Image
,
guarded
by
a
great
man
and
State
of
the
Country
,
with
some
fiue
hundred
vnder
his
commaund
,
for
the
guarde
and
conuoy
of
that
Image
.
And
last
of
all
came
that
huge
bell
,
béeing
of
twenty
tunne
weight
,
drawne
by
thrée
thousand
and
fiue
hundred
men
(
not
being
possible
to
be
drawne
by
oxen
or
horses
)
in
manner
following
.
They
fastned
sixe
excéeding
long
hawsers
,
or
mighty
great
gable
ropes
in
six
lengths
to
the
frame
whereon
the
bell
was
placed
.
In
this
ranke
of
ropes
were
placed
those
thrée
thousand
and
sixe
hundred
men
,
with
litle
cordes
ouer
their
shoulders
,
fastned
to
the
great
hawsers
,
drawing
after
the
manner
of
our
Westerne
barge-men
héere
in
England
.
The
poyse
of
the
Bell
was
so
g●●at
,
that
passing
along
the
stréetes
of
Musco
(
being
paued
wyth
great
square
péeces
of
timber
sette
close
one
by
another
)
the
woodde
of
the
frame
or
carriage
whereon
the
bell
was
drawne
,
set
the
timber
of
the
stréets
on
fire
,
through
both
the
woods
chasing
togither
,
so
that
some
were
faine
to
followe
hard
after
,
to
throwe
on
water
,
as
the
timbers
beganne
to
smoake
.
And
thus
was
this
bell
and
the
Image
eonueyed
to
the
Friery
,
as
hath
afore
béene
sayde
.
The
next
day
following
we
tooke
our
iourney
(
that
is
to
say
,
in
mid
Maie
)
towards
Saint
Nicolas
to
take
shipping
,
which
was
some
sixe
wéekes
passage
by
land
and
riuer
.
During
all
which
time
,
we
saw
nothing
,
in
a
maner
,
but
woods
and
water
.
But
being
come
to
the
sea
side
,
being
the
place
where
wée
were
to
take
ship
,
we
stayed
there
one
moneth
for
prouision
for
our
iourney
.
In
which
time
we
were
diuers
times
inuited
aboorde
English
shippes
,
where
we
were
roially
banquetted
at
the
Agents
charges
and
the
merchants
.
To
the
solemnization
of
which
banquets
we
had
thrée
hundred
hundred
great
shot
.
And
as
we
stayed
there
,
one
Maister
Megricke
a
merchant
came
from
Musco
,
and
brought
the
Friers
two
letters
wyth
hym
,
reporting
that
the
Lord
Chauncallor
,
in
satisfaction
of
the
wrong
and
ill
vsage
he
extended
to
sir
Anthony
,
sent
after
the
Frier
to
the
borders
,
who
tooke
both
his
letters
and
all
his
substance
that
he
had
deceitfully
and
lewdly
gotten
in
many
yeares
before
in
the
Indiaes
from
him
,
leauing
him
not
so
much
as
his
Friers
wéede
:
and
whether
hée
caused
his
throate
to
be
cut
,
it
was
vncertayne
,
but
not
vnlike
.
Thus
,
as
this
lewd
wretch
had
(
as
peraduenture
he
thought
)
passed
the
pikes
of
Gods
iudgements
bent
against
him
,
and
threatening
his
ruine
,
for
his
seuerall
villanies
,
and
that
(
as
to
him
perhappes
it
séemed
)
hée
was
nowe
euen
entring
the
confines
of
his
owne
countrey
,
furnished
with
Letters
in
his
commendation
,
from
the
Persian
mighty
Potentate
,
to
his
liege
lord
the
king
of
Spaine
,
whereby
hée
thought
to
haue
attained
(
notwithstanding
his
former
leud
life
in
the
Indies
)
great
reputation
and
preferment
,
euen
then
was
hée
ouertaken
wyth
a
vengeance
,
and
payed
home
with
a
mischiefe
,
to
the
vtter
losse
of
his
Letters
,
wherein
so
much
hée
ioyed
,
his
substance
that
was
all
his
liueloode
,
and
(
as
it
is
most
likely
)
of
his
life
,
the
leudnesse
whereof
brought
vppon
him
these
vnexpected
(
yet
well
deserued
)
miseries
.
A
good
caueat
for
all
those
,
that
vnder
God
almighties
coate
,
will
play
all
diuellish
prankes
,
whereof
there
are
but
too
many
(
in
these
last
dayes
,
and
therefore
the
worst
dayes
)
crept
into
his
holy
church
,
in
all
quarters
of
Christendome
,
making
the
same
sacred
house
of
pr●●er
(
which
ought
with
all
prayer
and
holy
indeuor
to
bée
preserued
from
all
pollution
and
polluted
persons
)
a
very
denne
of
théeues
,
as
it
is
in
the
Gospel
,
that
walke
continually
in
shéepes
clothing
,
but
inwardely
they
are
rauening
Woolues
:
They
are
knowne
by
theyr
workes
.
From
hence
wée
tooke
shippe
for
Stoade
,
béeing
sixe
wéekes
vppon
the
Sea
,
ere
wée
coulde
recouer
it
.
In
which
time
we
were
continually
tossed
and
tumbled
with
contrary
Windes
:
and
once
had
béene
like
to
haue
béene
vtterly
cast
away
,
so
that
wée
all
were
ouerwhelmed
in
despayre
,
as
wée
were
at
poynt
to
be
in
the
Sea
,
but
that
(
by
Gods
protection
and
direction
)
we
(
past
all
expectation
)
fell
vppon
the
Flie.
Where
,
(
hauing
diuers
Letters
of
sir
Anthonies
to
his
friendes
in
England
)
I
parted
from
him
(
he
holding
his
course
toward
the
Emperor
of
Germany
:
)
from
thence
I
came
to
the
Tassel
then
to
the
Firme
:
so
to
the
Hage
:
from
the
Hage
to
Vlushing
:
And
finally
,
from
thence
to
Douer
,
where
I
landed
in
the
middest
of
the
moneth
of
September
,
in
the
thrée
and
fortieth
yéere
of
the
Quéenes
Maiesties
raigne
,
and
in
the
yéere
of
our
Lorde
God
,
one
thousand
sixe
hundred
and
one
.
