THE
TRVE
History
of
Sir
Anthony
Sherleys
Trauels
into
Persia
,
Penned
by
himselfe
.
SINCE
men
are
brought
forth
vpon
the
earth
for
good
ends
,
the
principallest
of
which
is
the
glory
of
God
,
and
then
to
better
the
world
;
in
which
many
haue
had
bands
,
either
of
necessity
,
or
other
occupations
,
to
haue
lesse
experience
by
their
knowledge
:
I
thinke
,
I
should
mightily
erre
,
if
I
should
not
deliuer
as
well
to
others
,
what
I
haue
seene
and
learned
by
my
passing
so
many
,
and
so
strange
countries
;
as
I
should
haue
done
,
if
had
not
giuen
my
time
and
the
expence
of
it
to
the
first
end
,
which
was
,
and
is
,
God
his
great
glory
.
In
my
first
yeares
,
my
friends
bestowed
on
mee
those
learnings
which
were
fit
for
a
Gentlemans
ornament
,
without
directing
them
to
an
occupation
;
and
when
they
were
fit
for
agible
things
,
they
bestowed
them
and
me
on
my
Princes
seruice
,
in
which
I
ran
many
courses
,
of
diuers
fortunes
,
according
to
the
condition
of
the
warres
,
in
which
,
as
I
was
most
exercised
,
so
was
I
most
subiect
to
accidents
:
With
what
opinion
I
carried
my selfe
(
since
the
causes
of
good
or
ill
must
be
in
my selfe
,
and
that
a
thing
without
my selfe
)
I
leaue
it
to
them
to
speake
;
my
places
yet
in
authority
,
in
those
occasions
were
euer
of
the
best
;
in
which
,
if
I
committed
errour
it
was
contrary
to
my
will
,
and
a
weakenesse
in
my
iudgement
;
which
,
notwithstanding
,
I
euer
industriated
my selfe
to
make
perfect
,
correcting
my
owne
ouer-sights
by
the
most
vertuous
examples
I
could
make
choise
of
:
Amongst
which
,
as
there
was
not
a
Subiect
of
more
worthinesse
and
vertue
,
for
such
examples
to
grow
from
,
then
the
euer-liuing
in
honour
,
and
condigne
estimation
the
Earle
of
Essex
,
as
my
reuerence
and
regard
to
his
rare
qualities
was
exceeding
;
so
I
desired
(
as
much
as
my
humility
might
answere
,
with
such
an
eminency
)
to
make
him
the
patterne
of
my
ciuill
life
,
and
from
him
to
draw
a
worthy
modell
of
all
my
actions
.
And
as
my
true
loue
to
him
,
did
transforme
me
from
my
many
imperfections
,
to
bee
,
as
it
were
,
an
imitator
of
his
vertues
;
so
his
affection
was
such
to
mee
,
that
hee
was
not
onely
contended
,
I
should
do
so
,
but
in
the
true
Noblenesse
of
his
minde
gaue
me
liberally
the
best
treasure
of
his
mind
in
counselling
mee
;
his
fortune
to
helpe
mee
forward
;
and
his
very
care
to
beare
mee
vp
in
all
those
courses
,
which
might
giue
honour
to
my selfe
,
and
inworthy
the
name
of
his
friend
:
in
so
much
,
that
after
many
actions
,
into
which
,
peraduenture
,
he
prouoked
my
owne
slackenesse
,
The
Duke
of
Ferrara
dying
,
and
leauing
Don
Cesare
D'Este
Inheritor
of
that
Principality
,
who
by
his
birth
could
,
indeed
,
challenge
nothing
iustly
,
being
a
Bastard
;
notwithstanding
,
in
the
worlds
opinion
hee
was
most
likely
to
haue
bene
established
in
that
succession
,
through
the
long
continuance
of
the
gouernment
in
that
name
;
and
the
Princes
of
that
name
,
hauing
euer
through
their
temperate
and
iust
condition
of
Ruling
,
wouen
themselues
into
a
sincere
affection
of
that
people
:
which
was
well
proued
,
by
that
great
league
made
against
it
in
former
time
by
the
Pope
,
the
French
,
and
the
Venetians
,
frustrated
by
the
true
deuotion
of
those
Subiects
to
their
Prince
;
besides
,
the
great
expectation
,
which
was
generally
had
of
that
Don
Cesare
,
and
the
extreme
bondage
of
the
gouernment
of
the
Church
,
which
those
that
haue
liued
in
another
quality
do
vtterly
abhorre
.
Which
that
excellent
Earle
also
considering
,
and
besides
(
hauing
no
thought
in
him
euer
separated
from
those
circumstances
,
which
might
bring
to
an
happy
end
his
infinite
desire
of
her
Maiesties
Honour
,
Seruice
,
and
prosperous
good
of
his
Country
,
)
iudging
that
the
Pope
would
not
giue
his
claime
vnto
the
Dutchy
without
words
,
and
actes
,
and
by
the
impotency
of
both
those
Princes
in
themselues
,
both
to
make
and
continue
so
great
a
warre
(
as
that
was
likely
to
haue
bene
by
former
examples
)
but
that
it
must
grow
to
great
partiallities
:
The
lesser
Princes
of
Italy
being
not
likely
to
endure
the
Churches
so
great
encrease
of
Temporality
,
which
errour
was
so
greatly
reprehended
by
them
all
in
Lewis
the
twelfth
King
of
France
;
And
that
giuing
place
to
the
right
of
that
title
,
they
should
interesse
him
in
the
same
iudgement
for
Vrbine
also
,
and
many
other
places
:
so
that
the
war
,
by
these
reasons
,
in
all
appearance
likely
to
bee
fomented
:
and
that
the
King
of
Spaine
,
both
in
hope
to
better
his
estates
in
Italy
by
that
trouble
,
and
by
necessity
to
preserue
those
,
which
hee
had
already
,
and
for
being
Vicar
to
the
Church
,
and
obliged
for
his
kingdome
of
Naples
,
must
be
imbarked
fully
in
that
action
;
which
would
haue
bene
both
a
great
diuersion
from
his
other
designes
,
and
a
facillitating
of
any
enterprise
,
which
that
generous
spirit
of
that
Earle
was
euer
framing
,
and
vndertaking
against
him
:
and
holding
opinion
that
the
Dukes
greatest
necessity
at
the
first
must
bee
of
incouragement
,
and
Captaines
,
sent
mee
presently
(
though
the
least
amongst
many
)
accompanied
with
diuers
Souldiers
of
approued
valour
,
and
procured
the
Count
Maurice
,
Generall
of
the
States
Army
,
to
write
him
letters
of
as
much
comfort
,
as
could
bee
giuen
from
so
braue
a
Prince
,
and
so
famous
an
Estate
:
and
though
my
iourney
was
vnder-taken
in
the
dead
of
Winter
,
and
I
left
no
paines
vntaken
to
accelerat
it
;
yet
before
I
could
arriue
in
Italy
,
I
found
the
Duke
giuen
ouer
to
quieter
resolutions
,
and
Ferrara
yeelded
to
the
Pope
;
himselfe
satisfying
himselfe
with
Modona
,
and
Rhegium
,
of
which
hee
now
beareth
the
Title
.
Which
when
I
had
aduertised
the
Earle
of
;
as
he
,
who
neuer
had
his
owne
thoughts
,
limited
,
within
any
bounds
of
honourable
and
iust
ambition
;
So
he
also
desired
,
that
those
whom
he
had
chosen
into
a
neerenesse
of
affection
should
also
answere
both
his
owne
conceipt
of
them
,
and
satisfie
the
world
in
his
election
of
them
:
wherefore
,
not
willing
I
should
returne
,
and
turne
such
a
voice
as
was
raised
of
my
going
to
nothing
;
as
vnwilling
that
I
should
,
by
a
vaine
expence
of
my
time
,
money
,
and
hope
,
bee
made
a
scorne
to
his
and
(
through
him
)
to
my
enemies
:
Hee
proposed
vnto
me
(
after
a
small
relation
,
which
I
made
vnto
him
from
Venice
)
the
voiage
of
Persia
,
grounding
of
it
vpon
two
points
.
First
,
the
glory
of
God
;
to
which
,
his
excellent
religious
mind
was
euermore
deuote
.
Then
,
if
God
would
not
please
to
choose
me
as
a
worthy
instrument
to
that
great
end
;
yet
by
making
a
profitable
experience
of
my
seeing
those
Countries
,
limitting
vpon
the
King
of
Spaines
vniall
parts
,
and
answering
to
her
Maiesties
Merchants
trades
in
Turky
,
and
Muskouy
;
and
besides
,
being
not
vnlikely
but
some
parts
might
haue
bene
found
fit
for
the
Indian
Nauigation
,
then
principiated
in
Holland
,
and
muttered
of
in
England
;
It
might
proue
a
subiect
to
extract
great
and
good
matter
out
of
,
for
the
honor
of
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
perticular
good
of
our
Country
:
Besides
,
some
more
priuate
designes
,
which
my
fortune
,
being
of
the
condition
,
which
my
persecutions
haue
brought
it
vnto
,
counselleth
mee
not
to
speake
of
:
though
they
were
most
worthy
ones
,
and
honourable
,
and
honest
in
him
,
as
a
great
Subiect
,
and
maine
Piller
of
that
State
,
which
hee
was
bound
to
serue
by
all
meanes
and
all
industry
.
Hauing
with
these
Aduertisements
receiued
strength
to
my
owne
minde
,
large
meanes
and
letters
of
fauour
and
credit
to
the
company
of
Merchants
at
Aleppo
;
without
opening
the
secrets
of
my
deliberation
to
any
,
as
fearing
the
strange
humour
of
the
world
,
rather
inclined
to
mis-iudge
of
all
actions
,
then
to
giue
them
onely
a
charitable
construction
:
not
willing
to
be
scorned
if
it
effected
not
;
and
assuring
my selfe
of
all
sort
of
reputation
,
if
it
proceeded
well
.
I
imbarked
my selfe
at
Venice
for
Aleppo
,
in
a
Venetian
ship
,
called
the
morizell
,
the
foure
and
twentieth
of
May
1599.
Fiue
and
twenty
daies
the
Ship
was
sailing
betweene
Malmocko
the
Port
of
Venice
,
and
Zant
;
in
which
space
one
of
the
worst
in
the
Ship
,
a
passenger
to
Ciprus
,
vsed
most
scandalous
speeches
of
her
Maiesty
,
which
being
brought
vnto
mee
,
not
onely
moued
with
the
dutifull
zeale
which
a
Subiect
oweth
to
his
Prince
;
but
euen
with
that
respect
which
euery
Gentleman
oweth
to
a
Lady
,
I
commaunded
one
of
my
people
to
giue
him
a
fit
reward
for
so
vile
an
abuse
:
which
was
no
sooner
done
,
but
the
Shippe
was
all
in
an
vprore
.
And
though
the
cause
of
the
act
was
iust
,
and
so
vnderstood
by
diuers
principall
Merchants
,
which
went
to
Zant
,
and
that
the
punishment
was
nothing
proportionable
to
the
sceleratnesse
of
the
fact
;
yet
through
the
instigation
of
one
Hugo
de
Potso
,
a
Portingall
Factor
,
which
was
going
to
Ormus
(
though
they
shewed
all
to
bee
satisfied
,
because
they
durst
do
no
other
,
yet
)
when
wee
were
to
haue
departed
in
the
ship
from
Zant
,
they
would
no
more
receiue
vs
,
so
that
wee
were
forced
to
hire
a
Carramosall
to
carry
vs
to
Candy
,
where
wee
receiued
most
honourable
entertainement
,
(
the
comming
of
strangers
thither
being
a
thing
so
vnsuall
that
the
Duke
desired
to
shew
the
Magnificence
of
the
great
Signory
to
vs
that
came
first
;
and
peraduenture
should
bee
the
last
for
a
long
time
.
)
From
thence
in
the
same
Carramosall
wee
departed
to
Cyprus
,
and
Paphos
,
where
wee
found
nothing
to
answere
the
famous
relations
giuen
by
ancient
Histores
of
the
excellency
of
that
Iland
,
but
the
name
onely
,
(
the
barbarousnesse
of
the
Turke
,
and
time
,
hauing
defaced
all
the
Monuments
of
Antiquity
)
no
shew
of
splendor
,
no
habitation
of
men
in
a
fashion
,
nor
possessors
of
the
ground
in
a
Principallity
;
but
rather
Slaues
to
cruell
Maisters
,
or
prisoners
shut
vp
in
diuers
prisons
:
so
grieuous
is
the
burthen
of
that
miserable
people
,
and
so
deformed
is
the
state
of
that
Noble
Realme
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
present
power
(
I
meane
resident
in
that
Iland
,
which
is
the
instrument
of
that
great
tyranny
)
is
so
small
,
that
if
the
little
remnant
of
people
,
which
is
left
there
had
courage
;
or
if
they
haue
courage
,
had
also
armes
;
or
if
the
Princes
Christian
had
but
a
compassionate
eye
turned
vpon
the
miserable
calamity
of
a
place
so
neere
them
,
rent
from
the
Church
of
God
,
by
the
vsurpation
of
Gods
and
the
worlds
great
enemy
:
and
maintained
more
by
the
terrour
,
which
his
name
hath
stroke
into
some
truely
;
into
others
no
more
,
but
that
they
are
contented
hee
should
bee
thought
terrible
,
for
the
better
progresse
of
their
owne
more
vniust
designes
;
I
do
not
see
,
in
that
small
iudgement
which
my
experience
hath
giuen
mee
,
but
the
redemption
of
that
place
and
people
were
most
facile
(
being
but
foure
thousand
Turkes
in
the
whole
Iland
)
and
the
glory
would
bee
immortall
to
the
Actor
;
besides
the
profite
which
must
needs
follow
from
so
great
an
acquist
;
and
the
preseruing
of
it
would
also
bee
of
no
expence
,
nor
hazard
:
the
peoples
affection
binding
it selfe
to
their
redeemer
;
besides
a
necessity
to
keepe
them
vnited
vnto
him
by
the
meanes
of
so
abhorred
a
neighbour
,
from
whom
their
vindication
,
into
liberty
,
must
bee
maintained
by
their
owne
constancy
:
and
his
extreme
weakenesse
by
sea
,
warranting
all
tranquility
from
feare
of
a
powrefull
inuasion
,
by
which
the
Conquerour
might
be
put
in
the
least
hazard
.
But
God
(
who
in
his
great
iudgement
weigheth
mans
sinnes
,
and
appointeth
,
forth
of
his
treasury
of
wrath
,
scourges
for
their
iniquities
)
perhaps
hath
not
fully
satisfied
his
causefull
indignation
,
yet
,
with
the
suffering
of
that
people
;
and
therefore
blindeth
the
eies
of
the
good
vnderstanding
,
of
all
his
great
instruments
,
whom
hee
hath
raised
in
the
world
to
glorifie
his
name
,
to
administer
iustice
,
and
to
lighten
the
burthen
of
the
oppressed
,
that
they
should
not
see
the
calamites
of
that
Country
,
nor
that
their
cries
should
come
into
their
eares
,
by
which
their
generous
hearts
should
be
moued
to
condigne
compassion
;
nor
that
their
iudgements
should
be
free
to
see
their
owne
particular
honour
,
and
profite
:
So
God
vseth
to
show
man
that
hee
is
a
bubble
,
raised
onely
by
his
breath
,
mouing
by
the
same
,
and
falling
by
the
same
,
according
to
the
will
of
his
great
prouidence
,
to
which
we
in
the
pride
of
our
nature
,
yeeld
not
the
true
attribution
due
vnto
it
:
yet
the
powerfull
working
of
it
is
such
,
that
with
the
confusion
of
our
foolish
pride
,
it
proueth
it selfe
an
eternall
wisedome
,
which
will
giue
lawes
to
the
world
,
and
the
bridle
to
all
people
,
and
guideth
onely
the
hearts
of
Princes
.
From
Paphos
we
went
to
the
Salines
in
a
litle
hired
barke
,
At
this
Oration
of
his
,
were
present
certaine
Armenian
passengers
,
who
had
knowne
vs
in
the
ship
,
which
moued
with
the
enormity
of
so
vile
an
act
(
that
Christians
should
sell
and
betray
Christians
to
Turkes
,
and
that
vpon
no
cause
of
offence
,
which
they
were
witnesses
of
,
wee
should
be
persecuted
with
such
a
kind
of
inhumane
cruelty
)
with
all
speed
possible
hired
a
Boate
,
themselues
,
for
Alexandretta
,
came
with
it
vnto
vs
,
prouided
in
it
victuals
for
vs
,
and
the
Maisters
themselues
to
loose
no
time
;
and
beseeched
vs
,
with
teares
in
their
eies
,
to
flye
from
thence
with
all
speed
possible
;
relating
vnto
vs
the
scelerattreason
conspired
against
vs
,
and
our
imminent
perill
.
Wherefore
we
instantly
changed
into
that
Boate
,
and
perceiuing
a
Fregat
a
farre
off
,
rowing
towards
vs
,
for
hast
,
left
most
of
our
things
behind
vs
,
and
yet
could
not
make
so
much
speed
,
but
that
the
Ianizaries
,
which
were
in
the
Fregat
,
and
chased
vs
,
bestowed
some
shot
vpon
vs
,
and
had
peraduenture
ouertaken
vs
,
if
the
night
had
not
ended
their
chasing
vs
,
and
our
dangers
.
This
Boate
,
in
which
wee
were
,
was
an
ordinary
passenger
betweene
Ciprus
and
Alexandretta
,
a
small
way
of
onely
a
night
and
a
halfe
sayling
,
and
halfe
a
daies
sayling
:
So
that
by
reason
the
Maister
was
vnlike
to
mistake
his
way
,
much
lesse
so
iust
contrary
as
hee
did
,
towards
two
houres
in
the
night
,
we
met
another
passage-Boate
,
put
off
from
Famagusta
,
holding
the
course
which
wee
intended
:
The
night
was
faire
,
with
the
shining
of
the
moone
and
star-light
;
yet
,
by
reason
of
the
difference
in
sayling
,
wee
first
lost
sight
of
that
Boate
,
then
by
our
different
course
,
the
Maister
of
ours
,
insteed
of
Alexandretta
,
going
for
Tripoly
,
which
,
certainely
,
was
a
great
worke
of
God
to
preserue
vs
.
The
other
Boate
,
at
breake
of
the
day
,
being
taken
at
the
entrance
of
the
port
of
Alexandretta
,
by
certaine
Turkish
Pirates
,
who
put
all
to
the
sword
,
that
were
in
it
,
and
hearing
of
vs
,
we
had
rowed
so
far
into
the
Riuer
Orontes
,
before
they
could
recouer
vs
,
that
they
durst
no
further
prosecute
that
prey
.
There
we
found
a
goodly
Country
,
repleat
euen
naturally
with
all
the
blessings
the
earth
can
giue
to
man
,
for
the
most
part
vncultiuated
,
here
and
there
,
as
it
were
,
sprinkled
with
miserable
Inhabitors
,
which
in
their
fashion
shewed
the
necessity
they
had
to
liue
,
rather
then
any
pleasure
in
their
liuing
.
From
thence
wee
sent
our
Interpretor
to
Antiochia
,
to
prouide
vs
horses
to
bring
vs
thither
,
which
hee
returned
within
two
daies
after
,
and
with
them
wee
proceeded
thither
,
full
of
great
care
how
we
should
escape
from
thence
:
The
Turke
hauing
giuen
certaine
scales
to
trade
in
,
out
of
which
,
as
it
was
vnlawfull
for
any
to
conuerse
;
so
it
must
needs
be
an
vneuitable
perill
for
so
great
a
company
,
when
the
same
great
Prouidence
,
which
at
first
defended
vs
from
the
former
hazards
,
gaue
vs
the
good
hap
to
meete
with
two
Ianizaries
,
Hungarish-runnagates
,
who
vnderstanding
that
we
were
Christians
,
compelled
against
our
dispositions
into
that
place
,
our
intention
to
be
a
visitation
of
Ierusalem
,
and
with
all
our
feare
of
some
great
preiudice
by
our
being
arriued
out
of
the
distinguished
places
for
all
Christians
;
hauing
told
vs
first
,
that
they
themselues
had
beene
Christians
,
and
though
they
had
,
for
reasons
best
knowne
to
themselues
,
altered
that
condition
;
yet
they
wished
well
to
those
which
still
were
so
,
and
especially
to
all
of
those
parts
:
and
afterwards
cheerefully
comforting
vs
,
inuited
vs
to
lodge
in
their
house
,
securing
vs
,
by
a
number
of
protestations
,
from
all
dangers
;
which
as
they
courteously
offered
,
so
(
if
I
may
giue
so
faire
a
terme
,
to
such
a
people
)
they
honourably
performed
:
For
being
by
the
Cady
of
Antiochia
required
to
present
vs
vnto
him
,
they
did
not
onely
deny
vs
,
as
bound
vnto
it
by
the
lawes
of
hospitality
,
in
respect
of
their
promise
,
as
they
themselues
said
;
but
called
fifty
other
Ianizaries
of
Damasco
,
their
friends
,
to
defend
vs
,
if
the
Cady
should
haue
offered
violence
.
And
now
that
I
haue
had
occasion
to
speake
of
the
Ianizaries
of
Damasco
,
which
by
likely-hood
,
of
that
they
presumed
to
do
in
that
point
,
must
bee
men
of
great
authority
,
both
in
power
and
estimation
:
It
will
not
bee
amisse
,
to
vse
so
fit
an
opportunity
to
discourse
of
the
Turkes
whole
gouernement
of
those
parts
,
which
I
did
not
behold
with
the
eies
of
a
common
Pilgrime
,
or
Merchant
;
which
passing
onely
by
goodly
Citties
and
Territories
,
make
their
iudgement
vpon
the
superficiall
appearance
of
what
they
see
:
but
as
a
Gentleman
bred
vp
in
such
experience
,
which
hath
made
me
somewhat
capable
to
penetrate
into
the
perfection
and
imperfection
of
the
forme
of
the
State
,
and
into
the
good
and
ill
Orders
by
which
it
is
gouerned
.
And
though
it
bee
true
,
that
my
weakenesse
in
iudging
may
rather
doe
harme
then
good
,
to
such
as
will
fauour
me
with
too
much
beleefe
;
yet
it
will
euer
bee
a
helpe
of
some
feeling
to
those
which
know
lesse
:
Our
duties
being
to
further
all
,
and
chiefly
those
who
haue
most
need
.
Those
Ianizaries
of
Damasco
,
amongst
other
Garrisons
were
appointed
as
those
of
Cairo
against
the
inuasions
of
the
Arabs
:
who
are
,
through
all
those
Prouinces
,
a
people
dispersed
,
liuing
in
Tents
,
without
a
certaine
place
of
abode
,
remoouing
their
habitations
according
to
the
seasons
,
and
their
owne
commodities
:
part
of
which
,
who
are
remoued
on
that
side
of
Euphrates
,
which
is
of
Mesopotamia
,
now
called
Diarbech
,
are
peaceable
to
the
Turke
,
and
not
much
infestious
to
Trauellors
;
their
King
being
a
Saniacke
of
the
Turks
,
and
by
that
title
holding
Ana
and
Der
,
two
Townes
vpon
the
Riuer
,
which
pay
him
his
stipend
.
The
other
,
vpon
the
other
side
,
towards
Egypt
,
through
all
Arabia
,
Petra
,
and
Deserta
,
and
spreding
as
far
as
the
limits
of
Arabia
Felix
;
being
in
multitudes
,
and
not
possible
bee
brought
to
a
quiet
and
wel-formed
manner
of
liuing
,
are
dangerous
to
strangers
,
and
continuall
spoylers
of
those
parts
of
the
Turkes
Dominions
,
which
euery
way
border
vpon
them
:
for
the
safety
of
which
,
as
I
said
,
those
two
garrisons
of
Cairo
,
and
Damasco
were
instituted
,
the
first
of
12000
,
the
other
of
1500
Ianizaries
.
Neither
must
it
bee
thought
,
since
these
of
Damasco
doe
not
onely
defend
that
part
,
but
are
also
distributed
through
other
Citties
of
Soria
,
As
Aleppo
,
Antiochia
,
&
further
in
Ierusalem
also
,
that
1500
men
are
able
to
sustaine
,
and
answere
well
to
such
a
charge
.
But
these
being
both
Ianizaries
,
and
by
great
seruices
heretofore
done
,
proceeding
also
to
be
Tymarrie
,
haue
many
followers
,
which
do
augment
mightely
their
number
,
and
euery
yeare
were
accustomed
(
besides
those
which
staied
to
preserue
the
countrey
)
to
send
great
troupes
,
not
onely
warlikely
,
but
pompously
prouided
,
into
Hungary
:
but
now
that
through
the
incapacity
of
this
Prince
presently
reigning
,
there
are
extreame
corruptions
growne
through
all
the
members
of
his
estate
:
his
subiects
generally
taking
example
of
his
weakensse
,
and
particularly
his
great
ones
,
making
their
profite
thereof
.
As
vertue
is
generally
forgotten
,
so
they
which
haue
authority
,
are
so
farre
from
industriating
themselues
to
replant
it
,
that
they
,
making
a
commodity
of
the
ill
,
are
euer
desirous
it
should
increase
,
to
increase
with
it
their
gaine
.
For
as
places
of
gouernement
,
and
of
all
sort
of
administration
,
were
anciently
giuen
vnto
those
,
who
by
their
worthinesse
grew
to
a
condigne
estimation
with
the
Prince
;
This
time
hath
brought
things
to
another
condition
;
that
now
men
are
weighed
by
the
aboundance
of
their
fortune
,
not
of
their
vertue
:
who
buying
their
authority
of
the
Prince
,
like
Merchants
,
must
make
their
profite
of
the
people
vnder
their
charge
;
wherein
they
rather
desire
to
be
vile
,
base
,
and
offenders
,
then
to
haue
them
of
better
,
fitter
,
and
honester
spirits
:
the
gaines
being
small
,
if
the
people
were
good
,
by
a
iust
caring
for
them
;
and
greatest
,
as
they
are
by
punishing
,
by
extortion
,
and
oppression
,
and
also
as
ill
as
they
are
by
many
wrongs
:
which
the
people
also
finding
,
and
withall
that
mischiefe
increaseth
,
rather
then
diminisheth
;
taking
example
from
so
great
patternes
,
adde
by
those
more
wickednesse
to
the
badnesse
of
their
owne
dispositions
.
And
as
they
are
all
made
a
prey
to
the
greatest
,
so
euery
one
according
to
his
power
,
doth
deale
with
the
lesser
;
like
a
forrest
of
wilde
beasts
,
liuing
all
vpon
rapine
,
without
any
sence
of
humanity
,
more
then
an
appearance
.
This
violent
humour
in
them
hath
brought
disobedience
(
Couetousnesse
,
and
Luxury
,
dissoluing
the
bonds
of
all
respect
;
our
willes
euer
carrying
vs
from
our selues
,
from
all
awfulnesse
,
and
all
Lawes
,
when
they
are
ouer-maistered
by
those
two
mighty
enemies
to
perticular
men
,
much
more
then
to
generall
states
,
)
So
that
the
Princes
commandement
is
no
more
esteemed
in
any
part
,
farre
remoued
from
his
owne
presence
,
then
it
fitteth
with
the
honour
and
profite
of
him
to
whom
it
commeth
.
From
whence
haue
growne
so
many
and
so
dangerous
rebellions
,
so
huge
wasts
in
Countries
;
and
caused
through
all
those
parts
those
Ianizaries
(
which
were
appointed
for
the
safety
of
the
prouinces
,
and
had
their
first
priuiledges
,
not
onely
for
a
reward
to
their
vertues
;
but
to
binde
them
by
such
rewardes
,
to
answere
the
Princes
confidence
in
them
)
to
obey
no
authority
which
calleth
them
to
other
warres
:
but
by
combining
themselues
in
a
strength
together
,
to
tyrannize
the
Countries
committed
to
their
charges
:
in
such
a
sort
,
that
they
are
not
onely
Princes
,
as
it
were
,
ouer
the
people
,
but
do
also
terrific
the
greater
Ministers
.
And
though
this
be
a
great
weakenesse
in
the
very
Basis
of
so
huge
an
estate
(
which
can
by
no
meanes
be
held
together
but
by
such
an
vnite
compaction
as
may
iustly
,
and
euer
moue
by
the
heads
intentions
;
lest
it
should
sway
this
way
,
or
that
way
;
and
so
either
breake
,
or
bend
by
his
owne
great
weight
,
or
bruise
it selfe
,
which
in
so
ouer-growne
a
body
must
come
to
dangerous
vlcers
,
where
no
care
is
taken
for
the
curing
of
the
parts
)
Yet
it
doth
not
onely
shew
,
that
Gods
iudgement
hath
determined
it
a
short
time
of
continuance
,
by
that
one
great
signe
,
but
by
many
other
:
as
their
negligence
of
the
maintaining
of
a
strenth
by
Sea
;
;
which
did
(
as
it
were
)
knit
together
many
great
parts
of
it
,
farre
diuided
;
and
gaue
an
essentiall
strength
in
force
and
reputation
to
his
whole
state
:
His
want
of
necessary
prouision
for
the
warres
in
all
those
parts
;
not
speaking
of
those
for
peace
,
sithence
the
ruine
of
the
Prouinces
,
for
the
most
part
,
and
the
misery
of
those
poore
flocke
of
people
,
which
doe
liue
in
the
parts
inhabited
,
are
onely
the
meanes
to
giue
him
peace
.
Yet
the
negligence
of
the
Princes
Christian
will
not
make
vse
of
these
extreame
defects
of
his
to
amplifie
their
Dominions
,
to
eternize
their
Honours
;
and
(
that
which
is
the
greatest
)
to
glorifie
God
,
which
hath
made
them
Princes
,
onely
to
execute
his
iudgements
;
(
none
of
which
now
can
bee
more
iustly
inflicted
vpon
any
,
then
vpon
that
great
blasphemer
against
his
Holy
one
,
and
tyrant
of
the
world
)
giue
peace
to
their
inique
passions
,
which
giue
cause
to
the
very
earth
to
sigh
,
to
all
good
hearts
to
groane
,
and
kindle
Gods
indignation
against
them
,
and
their
people
:
and
turne
first
their
aspects
to
that
which
they
owe
to
God
;
and
then
to
the
true
ambition
of
a
Prince
,
to
doe
great
and
iust
things
;
which
with
their
honour
might
also
bring
profite
to
their
present
estates
;
and
are
of
such
a
condition
,
that
the
effecting
of
them
is
vtterly
without
danger
,
or
difficulty
:
seeing
with
the
very
sight
of
a
compleat
Armie
,
his
Souldiary
,
in
those
parts
,
would
be
terrified
,
through
their
inability
,
to
resist
;
and
the
people
,
who
cannot
change
possible
to
worse
fortune
,
would
all
follow
those
Ensignes
,
which
their
extremity
doth
already
force
them
to
wish
for
.
And
let
all
iudgement
,
giue
themselues
but
a
small
time
of
truce
,
with
other
passions
;
and
wee
shall
see
,
not
onely
what
shame
it
is
to
the
very
Name
of
Christianity
,
to
suffer
that
great
Sepulcher
of
our
Redemption
to
bee
possessed
,
to
our
eternall
ignominy
,
by
his
professed
enemies
,
who
vouchsafed
to
giue
his
deerest
bloud
,
to
buy
vs
from
perdition
.
Religion
is
that
which
euer
moueth
the
blindest
hearts
of
men
to
the
most
resolute
enterprises
.
:
and
an
awfull
loue
hath
euer
beene
the
strongest
band
to
binde
men
to
their
Princes
,
to
their
Countrey
,
and
to
common
society
.
Romulus
,
when
his
people
fled
before
the
Sabines
;
so
that
the
victory
shewed
it selfe
vndoubtedly
on
their
side
,
and
ouerthrow
on
his
:
the
very
remembring
them
of
leauing
Iupiter
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Gods
in
the
Capitoll
,
to
the
possession
of
their
enemies
,
was
sufficient
to
turne
that
desperate
fortune
.
And
when
the
French
had
sacked
and
burnt
a
great
part
of
Rome
;
the
same
awfull
reuerence
to
their
Gods
,
and
loue
to
their
Countrey
,
could
binde
them
rather
to
re-build
their
ruinated
Citty
,
then
to
go
to
Vejes
,
a
Towne
ready
,
and
magnificently
builded
.
But
we
can
leaue
,
in
the
Turkes
possession
,
not
onely
the
Countrey
of
our
Sauiour
,
(
which
should
be
deerer
vnto
vs
then
our
owne
,
for
his
great
name
sake
;
)
but
this
the
Sepulcher
of
his
precious
bloud
,
which
he
gaue
freely
an
oblation
,
to
giue
vs
,
by
that
sacrifice
,
that
which
is
aboue
all
,
eternall
life
;
without
compunction
of
loue
or
Religion
.
So
much
are
our
hearts
hardened
against
the
appearing
mercies
of
God
,
which
hath
made
him
for
a
great
,
a
weake
enemy
;
to
giue
vs
corage
by
such
an
vnhoped
fore-signe
,
to
produce
that
supreme
act
of
our
duties
.
Where
are
those
generous
spirits
of
the
fore-passed
Princes
,
and
men
;
which
against
all
humane
reason
,
to
reuenge
iniuries
,
and
wrongs
done
to
the
holy
name
of
God
,
thrust
themselues
into
most
dangerous
enterprises
,
onely
trusting
in
the
true
worthinesse
of
their
cause
,
which
they
iudged
God
would
miraculously
prosper
;
being
vndertaken
with
so
good
and
true
hearts
for
him
?
The
successes
of
which
also
,
we
may
reade
to
haue
beene
most
prosperous
:
God
striuing
in
mercy
with
mans
intentions
:
And
though
it
be
true
,
that
the
dayes
of
Visions
,
and
such
apparant
Miracles
are
finished
;
yet
let
vs
not
,
by
too
great
precisenesse
,
mistake
the
things
which
indeed
are
:
but
take
this
for
a
great
miracle
,
in
regard
of
our
manifold
sinnes
,
which
deserue
all
bitter
vengeance
,
and
no
good
;
that
God
yet
hath
pleased
,
(
whilst
we
deuoure
one
another
in
this
poore
small
;
flocke
of
Gods
Church
;
and
by
our
cruelly
resoluing
to
our
ciuill
destruction
,
do
open
the
breach
for
the
common
enemy
)
to
enlarge
his
power
and
greatnesse
by
his
onely
breath
to
shake
him
with
such
infection
,
that
his
ouerthrow
is
most
facille
,
if
we
will
vse
the
time
pointed
vnto
vs
by
his
mercifull
finger
:
which
also
may
turne
vnto
vs
as
heauy
a
iudgement
,
if
we
do
not
,
with
the
best
councell
,
and
most
desirous
affection
of
our
hearts
,
and
soules
,
embrace
the
beames
of
his
compassion
.
But
since
Princes
hearts
are
in
the
hands
of
God
,
and
he
turneth
them
either
for
their
own
chastisements
,
or
for
those
of
the
people
,
to
a
certaine
secret
point
of
direction
,
from
the
which
they
cannot
diuert
;
as
those
which
are
too
great
iudgements
for
me
to
penetrate
into
,
I
will
leaue
them
,
and
speake
of
my
Ianizaries
rare
disposition
vnto
me
;
who
did
not
onely
performe
their
promise
in
defending
me
in
Antiochia
;
but
deliuered
me
safely
from
them
into
our
English
Consuls
hands
in
Aleppo
:
from
whom
,
and
from
all
the
Merchants
there
abiding
,
I
receiued
such
an
entertainment
,
with
so
carefull
,
so
kinde
,
and
so
honourable
a
respect
,
as
I
must
needs
say
,
they
were
the
onely
Gentlemen
,
or
the
most
benigne
Gentlemen
that
euer
I
met
withall
:
For
my
company
being
so
great
,
that
it
was
no
light
burthen
vnto
them
;
besides
,
gaue
an
occasion
to
the
Turkes
condition
of
getting
to
make
quarrels
for
that
end
:
so
that
they
were
not
onely
at
expence
by
defraying
me
and
mine
;
but
at
more
by
preseruing
vs
from
oppression
amongst
them
.
I
had
not
beene
fully
one
moneth
expecting
a
commodity
of
passage
by
carrauan
into
Persia
:
but
that
the
Morizell
arriued
,
who
presently
had
the
aduice
of
my
being
at
Aleppo
:
And
though
that
Hugo
de
Potso
threatned
as
much
as
an
ill
mind
,
and
great
purse
could
make
him
hope
to
preuaile
against
me
by
;
and
questionlesse
had
raised
some
great
trouble
against
me
,
though
in
the
corruption
of
our
nature
generally
,
and
weakenesse
of
our
faith
,
wee
cannot
possibly
hope
to
be
defended
by
such
a
strong
working
hand
,
as
God
vseth
for
the
safety
of
his
Saints
:
yet
no
question
good
intentions
haue
such
a
sympathy
with
Gods
owne
disposition
,
that
he
will
both
assist
them
which
haue
them
,
for
their
better
incouragement
,
and
for
others
example
,
being
one
of
the
chiefe
means
by
which
he
instructeth
the
world
.
After
6
weeks
staying
in
Aleppo
(
a
wearisome
time
to
my selfe
,
being
drawne
from
thence
continually
by
the
instigation
of
my
desire
,
which
longed
for
the
accomplishment
of
the
end
,
that
I
proposed
to
my selfe
:
and
as
chargeable
a
time
for
my
friends
,
which
would
needs
make
me
a
burthensome
guest
vnto
them
)
the
Tafterdall
,
which
is
the
Treasurer
,
and
the
great
Cady
,
which
is
,
as
it
were
,
the
Lord
chiefe
Iustice
of
Babylon
,
arriued
at
Aleppo
,
from
thence
to
go
by
the
riuer
of
Euphrates
to
the
place
of
their
regiment
.
With
those
,
as
diuers
others
went
,
so
did
I
also
,
for
the
more
security
of
my
voyage
(
their
company
being
euer
defended
,
besides
with
the
respect
of
their
persons
,
with
a
good
company
of
Ianizaries
)
to
Birr
,
which
is
the
place
of
imbarkment
.
Diuers
of
our
Merchants
brought
me
,
and
left
me
not
vntill
I
was
boated
.
Thirty
dayes
we
were
going
vpon
the
riuer
to
Babylon
,
resting
euery
night
by
the
shore
side
:
In
all
which
way
we
found
few
townes
;
onely
Racha
,
Ana
,
Derrit
,
and
otherwise
as
little
habitation
,
except
here
and
there
a
small
village
:
and
one
of
better
reputation
,
which
is
the
landing
place
,
thirty
miles
from
Babylon
,
called
Phalugium
.
To
tell
wonders
,
of
things
I
saw
,
strange
to
vs
,
that
are
borne
in
these
parts
,
is
for
a
Traueller
of
another
profession
then
I
am
,
who
had
my
end
to
see
,
and
make
vse
of
the
best
things
;
not
to
feed
my selfe
,
and
the
world
,
with
such
trifles
,
as
either
by
their
strangenesse
,
might
haue
a
suspition
of
vntruth
:
or
by
their
lightnesse
adde
to
the
rest
of
my
imperfections
,
the
vanity
,
or
smallnesse
of
my
iudgement
.
But
because
I
was
desirous
to
certifie
my selfe
truly
of
the
estate
of
the
Turke
in
those
parts
,
through
which
I
passed
,
vnderstanding
,
where
wee
lodged
one
night
,
that
the
Campe
of
Aborisci
,
King
of
those
Arabies
,
which
inhabite
the
desert
of
Messopotamia
,
was
a
mile
off
;
I
hazarded
my selfe
in
that
curiosity
,
to
go
into
it
;
and
saw
a
poore
King
with
a
ten
or
twelue
thousand
beggerly
subiects
,
liuing
in
tents
of
blacke
haire-cloth
:
yet
so
well
gouerned
,
that
though
our
clothes
were
much
better
then
theirs
,
and
their
want
might
haue
made
them
apt
ynough
to
haue
borrowed
them
of
vs
;
we
passed
notwithstanding
,
through
them
all
in
such
peace
,
as
we
could
not
haue
done
,
being
strangers
,
amongst
ciueller
bred
people
.
That
day
,
as
it
happened
,
was
the
day
of
Iustice
amongst
them
,
which
was
pretty
,
and
warlike
:
Certaine
chiefe
Officers
of
the
Kings
,
mounting
on
horse-backe
;
armed
after
their
maner
,
with
their
staues
,
targets
,
bowes
,
and
arrows
;
and
so
giuing
iudgment
of
all
cases
which
the
people
brought
before
them
.
The
King
gaue
vs
good
words
,
without
any
kinde
of
barbarous
wondring
,
or
other
distastfull
fashion
.
But
when
wee
returned
to
our
boat
,
wee
found
the
maister
of
his
house
,
maister
of
our
boat
;
with
a
sort
of
his
Arabs
:
and
in
conclusion
,
we
were
forced
to
send
his
maister
three
verstes
of
cloth
of
gold
,
for
beholding
his
person
.
This
is
that
King
of
the
Arabs
,
which
I
said
before
,
was
a
Saniake
of
the
Turkes
;
and
for
that
place
held
of
the
Turke
,
Ana
,
and
Dirr
,
two
Townes
vpon
the
riuer
.
As
soone
as
we
came
to
Babylon
,
hauing
put
the
stocke
which
I
had
all
into
Iewels
,
and
Merchandize
,
to
carry
the
fashion
of
a
Merchant
;
at
the
Dogana
,
which
is
the
Custome-house
,
all
(
whatsoeuer
)
was
stayed
for
the
Bassa
:
and
(
as
I
perceiued
)
not
so
much
for
any
great
vse
which
hee
meant
to
make
of
those
things
;
as
for
the
suspition
which
he
had
of
me
,
and
mine
extraordinary
company
bearing
much
cause
thereof
with
it
;
and
because
I
gaue
out
I
had
more
goods
coming
with
the
carrauan
by
land
,
to
bind
me
not
to
start
from
thence
.
In
the
meane
time
,
by
very
necessity
,
hauing
left
me
nothing
in
the
world
;
what
extreme
affliction
I
was
in
,
by
that
means
,
for
the
present
;
and
in
what
iust
cause
of
feare
for
the
future
,
euery
man
may
easily
iudge
.
I
had
my
brother
with
mee
,
a
yong
Gentleman
;
whose
affection
to
me
,
had
onely
led
him
to
that
disaster
;
and
the
working
of
his
owne
vertue
:
desiring
in
the
beginning
of
his
best
yeares
,
to
inable
himselfe
to
those
things
,
which
his
good
minde
raised
his
thoughts
vnto
.
I
had
also
fiue
and
twenty
other
,
Gentlemen
,
for
the
most
part
:
the
rest
,
such
as
had
serued
me
long
;
onely
carried
with
their
loues
to
mee
,
into
the
couse
of
my
fortune
.
I
had
no
meanes
to
giue
them
sustenance
to
liue
,
But
I
will
leaue
my selfe
a
little
in
that
great
straight
;
and
speake
of
Babylon
;
not
to
the
intent
to
tell
stories
,
either
of
the
huge
ruines
of
the
first
Towne
,
or
the
splendor
of
this
second
:
but
because
nothing
doth
impresse
any
thing
in
mans
nature
more
,
then
example
,
to
shew
the
truth
of
Gods
word
,
whose
vengeance
,
threatned
by
his
Prophets
,
are
truely
succeeded
in
all
those
parts
;
which
were
once
so
swolne
with
the
pride
of
the
greatnesse
of
their
state
,
which
they
possessed
,
with
their
felicity
,
their
magnificencie
,
and
their
riches
;
that
as
they
were
the
heads
of
the
world
,
by
their
power
,
and
by
their
excellency
;
so
were
they
,
by
that
opinion
in
themselues
,
blowne
vp
to
a
conceipt
of
eternity
:
As
though
any
earthly
foundation
,
let
it
be
grounded
neuer
so
firmely
vpon
councell
,
vpon
force
and
reputation
,
could
possibly
be
perpetuall
.
Niniuy
(
that
which
God
himselfe
calleth
,
that
great
Citty
)
hath
not
one
stone
standing
,
which
may
giue
the
memory
of
the
being
of
a
Towne
:
one
English
mile
from
it
,
is
a
place
called
Mosul
,
a
small
thing
;
rather
to
bee
a
witnesse
of
the
others
mightinesse
,
and
Gods
iudgement
,
then
of
any
fashion
of
Magnificency
in
it selfe
.
All
the
ground
on
which
Babylon
was
spred
,
is
left
now
desolate
,
nothing
standing
in
that
Peninsula
,
betweene
the
Euphrates
and
the
Tigris
,
but
onely
part
,
and
that
a
small
part
,
of
the
great
Tower
;
which
God
hath
suffred
to
stand
(
if
man
may
speake
so
confidently
of
his
great
impenetrable
Counsels
)
for
an
eternall
testimony
of
his
great
worke
in
the
confusion
of
mans
pride
;
and
that
Arke
of
Nebuchadnezar
,
for
as
perpetuall
a
memory
of
his
great
idolatry
,
and
condigne
punishment
:
nothing
else
shewing
the
figure
of
any
thing
,
which
hath
bene
,
either
of
ornament
,
or
of
greatnesse
,
or
of
place
inhabited
:
So
truely
doth
God
iudge
the
huge
sinnes
of
the
world
,
and
maintaineth
so
iustly
the
credit
of
his
Messengers
;
that
though
they
speak
great
things
,
they
neuer
speake
vaine
things
.
The
Towne
,
which
is
now
called
Bagdat
,
and
is
on
the
other
side
of
Tigris
,
towards
Persia
(
onely
a
small
suburbe
in
the
Peninsula
)
but
remoued
from
any
stirpe
of
the
first
;
to
which
men
passe
ordinarily
by
a
bridge
of
Boates
,
which
euery
night
is
dissolued
,
for
feare
either
of
the
Arabs
,
or
some
storme
vpon
the
Riuer
,
which
might
carry
away
the
Boates
,
when
there
were
no
helpe
ready
.
The
buildings
are
after
the
Morisco
fashion
,
low
,
without
stories
;
and
the
Castle
,
where
the
Bassa
is
resident
,
is
a
great
vaste
place
,
without
beauty
or
strength
,
either
by
Art
,
or
Nature
;
the
people
some-what
more
abstinent
from
offending
Christians
,
then
in
other
parts
,
through
the
necessity
of
the
trade
of
Ormus
:
vpon
which
standeth
both
the
perticular
,
and
publique
wealth
of
that
State
.
Victuals
are
most
aboundant
,
and
excellent
good
of
all
sorts
,
and
very
cheape
;
which
was
a
mighty
blessing
for
Mee
,
which
had
nothing
but
a
generall
wardrope
of
cloaths
,
Signior
Victorio
Speciero
(
for
so
was
this
honourable
Florentine
called
)
would
by
no
meanes
;
hoping
,
as
he
said
,
that
my
sickenesse
would
not
bee
so
great
,
as
would
require
the
trouble
of
his
Highnesse
.
By
this
meanes
fiue
daies
passed
before
I
was
missed
;
and
when
I
was
once
discouered
to
bee
gone
,
Fifty
Ianizaries
were
sent
after
mee
,
to
bring
mee
backe
againe
:
the
carauan
hauing
diuided
it selfe
by
the
way
,
whereof
one
part
went
a
visitation
of
a
Santon
in
the
deserts
of
Samarone
;
&
the
other
passed
the
right
way
for
Persia
,
by
the
Mountaines
gouerned
by
a
Prince
of
the
Courdines
,
called
Cobatbeague
.
The
Ianizaries
hearing
of
them
to
be
past
,
and
thinking
that
all
had
bene
so
they
returned
:
and
that
noble-minded
Florentine
was
forced
to
pay
fiue
hundred
Crownes
,
to
make
his
peace
with
the
Bassa
.
And
though
it
bee
a
miserable
thing
for
a
man
to
grow
an
example
in
cases
of
affliction
,
yet
it
is
necessary
that
some
men
should
be
so
;
and
because
it
pleaseth
God
,
that
I
should
bee
one
,
and
a
great
one
of
these
:
So
I
may
also
be
taken
,
for
as
great
a
one
of
his
infinite
mercies
,
and
through
them
his
direct
pleasure
in
what
sort
,
hee
will
haue
men
gouerne
themselues
.
For
hauing
fastened
my
mind
to
that
good
purpose
,
and
intermingled
some
particular
intentions
of
mine
owne
ambitions
:
as
God
shewed
a
sensible
disposition
to
fauour
the
one
;
so
by
humbling
me
to
the
very
pit
of
extremities
,
he
taught
me
to
cast
away
the
other
;
and
to
haue
my
sole
confidence
in
him
,
disposing
my
minde
to
his
pleasure
;
not
to
the
counsell
of
my
owne
frailty
,
which
founded
in
the
perfectest
man
,
moueth
to
continuall
errours
:
not
that
man
doth
not
more
desire
to
intend
good
then
euill
,
by
a
naturall
reason
,
(
vertue
being
the
health
of
the
mind
,
and
vice
the
sickenesse
,
and
all
natures
abhorring
sickenesse
,
and
the
destruction
of
nature
.
But
the
great
enemy
of
man-kind
cousoneth
our
weakenesse
with
a
shadow
,
and
coulour
of
good
,
in
the
very
extremest
ills
;
and
so
induceth
vs
to
embrace
,
and
desire
,
them
masked
in
the
appearance
of
good
:
The
true
effect
of
which
we
afterward
feele
in
the
desperate
working
of
the
poison
,
when
it
hath
(
for
want
of
due
prouision
)
so
possessed
our
vitall
parts
,
that
were
left
both
to
our selues
,
and
to
the
world
,
(
to
whose
benefite
the
vertues
and
good
parts
of
good
men
are
appropriated
)
and
(
that
which
is
most
)
to
God
;
which
is
the
great
,
and
onely
good
,
to
which
the
end
of
our
life
is
,
or
ought
to
bee
directed
.
Neither
must
man
thinke
that
for
many
burthens
,
which
God
layeth
vpon
him
,
that
hee
is
wholy
abandoned
,
and
so
leape
from
an
awfull
humility
to
a
direct
despaire
of
his
mercies
:
Since
God
,
like
a
great
Prince
,
will
haue
men
his
Subiectes
,
so
truely
his
,
that
all
their
thoughts
shall
depend
vpon
his
authority
,
and
not
vpon
the
swolne
bubbles
of
their
owne
hearts
.
which
if
they
erre
in
,
humility
is
the
true
reconciliation
of
their
offence
,
before
that
great
Iudge
:
and
desperation
,
a
manifest
token
of
a
maine
rebellious
spirit
;
which
,
reposed
vpon
a
vaine
assurance
of
himselfe
,
plungeth
him
in
that
extremity
,
vpon
the
contrary
proceeding
of
his
intentions
:
which
are
so
farre
from
power
to
effect
themselues
by
any
ability
in
himselfe
,
that
himselfe
can
no
longer
subsist
,
then
Gods
prouidence
is
hee
should
.
Finally
,
God
is
not
as
man
,
whom
we
may
abuse
,
by
hauing
diuers
propositions
mingled
of
good
and
bad
ends
:
the
bookes
of
our
hearts
being
laid
open
before
him
,
in
which
he
readeth
our
most
inward
thoughts
;
for
which
wee
must
continually
giue
an
account
,
feeling
the
reward
of
our
good
motions
by
the
magnificency
of
his
mercies
and
our
bad
by
the
infliction
of
calamites
;
which
wee
may
auoide
,
if
wee
will
vnderstand
God
and
our selues
;
which
we
may
euer
do
by
making
the
best
vse
of
the
wisedome
which
wee
haue
borne
in
our selues
;
by
learning
of
other
;
and
exercitation
;
which
are
the
acquisters
of
all
Sciences
:
amongst
all
which
,
none
is
so
great
in
it selfe
,
nor
so
greatly
importing
man
.
And
though
many
,
in
the
mis-vnderstanding
of
the
world
,
are
acounted
learned
and
wise
without
it
;
let
them
know
,
that
such
are
like
vntimely
fruite
,
which
carry
with
them
a
temporall
wonder
,
raised
through
the
ignorance
of
other
,
which
put
no
distinction
betweene
the
effects
of
the
world
,
and
the
workings
of
God
,
when
there
is
so
great
a
one
,
as
permanency
in
the
last
,
and
no
more
but
apparition
in
the
other
,
shewing
it selfe
,
and
dissoluing
without
,
almost
,
any
memory
,
that
any
such
thing
was
:
which
should
make
the
iudgement
of
men
not
to
proceed
to
their
absolutenesse
,
by
beholding
the
present
fortune
of
any
;
but
first
see
the
end
which
God
hath
appointed
him
vnto
;
and
then
to
giue
a
diffinitiue
sentence
;
in
which
they
cannot
erre
,
drawing
their
iudgement
from
his
,
who
neuer
erreth
.
Of
most
part
of
which
things
(
as
I
said
)
I
may
bee
a
most
present
,
and
a
most
certaine
example
,
both
of
the
mutablenesse
of
fortunes
workings
,
of
the
causes
,
(
which
I
confesse
freely
)
of
Gods
infinite
mercies
,
and
of
his
order
of
gouernement
,
vnder
which
hee
disposeth
mens
actions
.
And
though
I
had
,
through
the
sencible
apprehensions
of
such
great
lessons
,
giuen
mee
by
so
diuers
iudgements
,
throwne
away
all
other
opinions
,
then
those
,
which
had
their
aspects
onely
turned
to
the
promotion
of
his
glory
:
Yet
my
frailty
gaue
me
a
continuall
terrour
during
those
thirty
daies
in
which
we
wandred
with
that
company
of
blind
Pilgrimes
through
the
Deserts
;
not
knowing
what
God
had
wrought
for
my
security
,
and
those
which
were
with
mee
,
by
that
good
man
,
Signior
Vittorio
.
At
the
end
of
which
wee
arriued
in
the
King
of
Persia's
dominions
,
hauing
first
passed
a
great
tract
of
good
and
ill
Countries
,
the
desert
places
of
which
being
onely
sand
,
gaue
no
meanes
for
inhabitants
to
liue
:
the
fruitfuller
parts
were
vsed
by
certaine
people
,
called
Courdines
,
liuing
in
Tents
,
knowing
no
other
fruit
of
the
earth
,
but
what
belonged
to
the
sustenance
of
their
cattell
,
vpon
the
milke
,
butter
,
and
flesh
,
of
which
they
liue
,
ruled
by
certaine
particular
Princes
of
their
owne
,
which
giue
partly
an
obedience
to
the
Turke
,
and
part
to
the
Persian
,
as
they
are
neerest
the
Confines
of
the
one
or
the
other
.
Yet
in
that
simplicity
of
liuing
(
not
being
without
that
contagion
of
all
Mankind
,
of
all
Prouinces
,
and
of
all
States
,
ambition
of
getting
superiority
,
and
larger
Dominion
)
some
wars
daily
grow
in
amongst
them
,
euen
to
the
extirpation
of
a
whole
Nation
:
As
wee
found
freshly
,
when
wee
passed
by
one
of
those
Princes
,
called
Hiderbeague
,
all
whose
people
were
deuored
by
the
sword
,
or
carried
away
captiue
,
by
Cobatbeague
:
and
himselfe
remained
,
onely
with
some
twenty
soules
,
in
certaine
poore
Holdes
in
a
Rocke
.
The
precise
summe
,
which
I
receiued
of
the
Florentine
,
I
set
not
downe
,
to
preuent
the
scandales
of
diuers
,
who
measuring
euery
mans
mind
by
the
straightnesse
of
theirs
,
will
beleeue
no
act
,
which
doth
not
symbolize
with
themselues
:
but
so
much
it
was
,
that
being
thirty
daies
vpon
the
way
to
the
Confines
;
then
fifteene
from
the
Confines
to
Casbine
,
where
wee
attended
one
month
the
Kings
arriuall
;
it
was
not
onely
sufficient
to
giue
vs
aboundant
meanes
for
that
time
,
but
to
cloth
vs
all
in
rich
apparell
,
fit
to
present
our selues
before
the
presence
of
any
Prince
,
and
to
spend
extraordinarily
in
giftes
,
by
which
wee
insinuated
farre
into
the
fauour
of
those
,
which
had
the
authority
of
that
Prouince
,
during
our
abode
,
and
expectation
of
the
Kings
comming
:
In
which
time
wee
were
well
vsed
,
more
by
the
opinion
,
which
they
had
,
that
the
King
would
take
satisfaction
by
vs
,
then
by
their
owne
humors
;
being
an
ill
people
in
themselues
;
and
onely
good
by
the
example
of
their
King
,
and
their
exceeding
obedience
vnto
him
.
The
Gouernour
visited
me
once
;
Marganabeague
,
maister
of
the
Kings
house
,
(
whom
I
had
won
vnto
me
by
presents
)
came
oftentimes
to
see
me
:
besides
(
as
it
seemed
)
being
more
inwardly
acquainted
with
the
Kings
inclination
,
fitted
himselfe
more
to
that
,
then
others
did
,
which
knew
it
lesse
.
And
now
that
Iam
in
Persia
,
&
speak
of
the
kings
absence
;
since
he
is
both
one
of
the
mightiest
Princes
that
are
,
and
one
of
the
excellentest
,
for
the
true
vertues
of
a
Prince
,
that
is
,
or
hath
bin
;
and
hauing
come
to
this
greatnesse
,
though
by
right
;
yet
through
the
circumstances
of
the
time
,
&
the
occasions
,
which
then
were
,
solely
his
owne
worthinesse
,
&
vertue
,
made
way
to
his
right
:
besides
,
the
fashion
of
his
gouernment
differing
so
much
from
that
which
we
call
barbarousnesse
,
that
it
may
iustly
serue
for
as
great
an
Idea
for
a
Principality
,
as
Platoes
Common-wealth
did
for
a
Gouernment
,
of
that
sort
.
I
hold
it
not
amisse
to
speake
amply
first
of
his
person
,
the
nature
of
his
people
,
the
distribution
of
his
gouernment
;
the
administration
of
his
iustice
,
the
condition
of
the
bordering
Princes
,
&
the
causes
of
those
warres
,
in
which
he
was
then
occupied
;
that
by
the
true
expression
of
those
,
this
discourse
may
passe
with
a
more
liuely
,
and
more
sensible
feeling
.
His
person
then
is
such
,
as
a
well-vnderstanding
Nature
would
fit
for
the
end
proposed
for
his
being
,
excellently
well
shaped
,
of
a
most
well
proportioned
stature
,
strong
,
and
actiue
;
his
colour
somewhat
inclined
to
a
man-like
blacknesse
,
is
also
more
blacke
by
the
sunnes
burning
:
his
furniture
of
his
mind
infinitly
royall
,
wise
,
valiant
,
liberall
,
temperate
,
mercifull
,
and
an
exceeding
louer
of
Iustice
,
embracing
royally
others
vertues
,
as
farre
from
pride
and
vanity
,
as
from
all
vnprincely
signes
,
or
acts
;
knowing
his
power
iustly
what
it
is
;
and
the
like
acknowledgement
will
also
haue
from
others
,
without
any
gentilitious
adoration
;
but
with
those
respects
,
which
are
fit
for
the
maiesty
of
a
Prince
;
which
foundeth
it selfe
vpon
the
power
of
his
state
,
general
loue
,
and
awfull
terror
.
His
fortunes
determining
to
make
proofe
of
his
vertue
,
draue
him
(
in
his
first
yeares
)
into
many
dangerous
extremities
;
which
he
ouercomming
by
his
vertue
,
hath
made
great
vse
of
,
both
in
the
excellent
increase
of
his
particular
vnderstanding
,
and
generall
tranquility
,
strength
of
his
countrey
,
&
propagation
of
his
Empire
.
For
the
lawes
,
and
customes
,
or
both
,
of
that
kingdome
,
being
such
,
that
though
the
king
haue
a
large
increase
of
Issue
,
the
first
borne
only
ruleth
;
&
to
auoyd
all
kind
of
cause
of
ciuill
dissention
,
the
rest
are
not
inhumanly
murthered
,
according
to
the
vse
of
the
Turkish
gouernment
,
but
made
blind
with
burning
basons
:
&
haue
otherwise
all
sort
of
contentment
and
regard
fit
for
Princes
children
.
Xa-Tamas
King
of
Persia
dying
without
Issue
,
Xa
Codabent
,
his
brother
,
was
called
blinde
to
the
kingdome
;
who
had
Issue
,
Sultan
Hamzire
Mirza
the
eldest
,
who
succeeded
him
,
and
this
present
King
called
Abas
.
In
the
fathers
time
Sinan
Bassa
began
the
enterprise
of
Persia
(
which
the
Turkes
euer
reserue
in
their
times
of
peace
with
the
Christians
,
to
keepe
their
souldiary
in
action
,
and
their
armes
from
rusting
)
Before
he
could
attempt
any
important
action
,
hee
was
called
to
the
port
,
and
aduanced
to
be
principall
Viseire
:
and
Mustapha
Bassa
was
appointed
his
successor
,
whose
industry
and
valour
was
accompanied
with
good
fortune
,
in
a
short
space
taking
Vannes
and
Tiphelis
,
two
strong
fortresses
,
&
importing
much
for
the
entrance
of
Scieruan
;
which
he
with
the
like
felicity
conquered
.
Notwithstanding
Synan
taking
aduantage
of
some
sinister
accident
,
happened
him
by
ouer-sight
(
which
is
euer
most
incident
to
those
which
sway
all
things
with
a
happy
course
of
fortune
)
and
being
his
enemy
,
bearing
his
suppositions
also
against
him
,
by
the
strength
of
his
authority
,
caused
him
to
be
re-called
in
the
faire
course
of
his
victory
;
and
being
within
some
few
dayes
trauell
of
Constantinople
,
whether
the
cause
grew
from
the
pride
of
his
heart
,
which
despised
to
liue
after
such
an
iniury
receiued
from
his
enemy
,
whose
fortune
being
so
great
,
gaue
him
neither
meanes
,
nor
hope
of
reuenge
;
or
else
for
feare
of
death
&
disgrace
together
,
at
the
Port
,
he
poisoned
himselfe
.
Into
whose
place
was
aduanced
Osman
Bassa
,
a
great
Souldier
(
borne
of
that
Mamaluckes
bloud
,
who
had
been
last
Sultan
of
Egypt
)
in
great
estimation
with
the
generalty
of
the
Turkes
,
and
as
much
with
the
Prince
himselfe
;
not
only
through
his
owne
valour
,
which
in
truth
did
merit
it
;
but
by
his
mothers
fauour
,
who
was
great
with
the
Prince
,
and
with
the
Sultana
his
mother
.
He
instantly
acquitted
all
disorders
growne
,
either
by
the
death
or
negligence
of
Mustapba
;
and
intending
vtterly
to
subdue
all
Persia
,
and
to
extinguish
the
reigne
of
the
Sophies
;
iudging
that
the
shortest
way
was
to
begin
with
the
best
parts
,
went
presently
against
Tauris
:
and
though
he
were
long
impeached
from
taking
of
it
,
both
by
the
resolute
valour
of
the
Defendants
,
which
was
all
the
obstacle
in
the
place
,
the
walles
being
only
of
mud
,
without
art
,
or
strength
,
and
by
continual
attempts
of
the
king
of
Persia
,
sometimes
in
person
(
though
he
saw
nothing
)
but
most
by
his
eldest
son
to
succour
it
:
Finally
after
many
victories
,
and
sometimes
losses
,
his
fortune
concurring
with
his
obstinate
resolution
,
he
got
the
place
;
in
which
he
had
no
sooner
established
a
meet
garrison
,
and
an
order
of
gouernment
in
the
countrey
about
it
,
which
followed
the
fortune
of
the
place
;
but
hauing
all
his
care
fixed
vpon
his
designe
,
for
the
through
accomplishment
of
his
prosperous
begun
victory
,
he
also
died
,
as
it
is
said
,
poysoned
by
Cicala
.
Whiles
the
mother
cried
out
at
the
port
for
iustice
;
and
the
ambition
of
other
competitors
for
so
great
a
place
;
and
so
large
a
breach
,
already
made
to
enter
into
honour
by
;
the
time
ran
so
far
in
length
,
that
the
peace
brake
between
the
Emperour
&
the
Turke
,
and
the
warres
reuiued
in
Hungary
:
so
that
the
age
of
the
king
of
Persia
,
his
being
broken
with
those
first
troubles
,
and
suspition
of
intestine
,
answering
iust
to
the
desire
of
the
Turke
;
there
was
a
truce
concluded
betweene
those
two
potentates
vpon
no
other
condition
;
But
that
each
should
be
contented
with
that
they
had
.
The
eldest
son
of
the
king
remained
at
the
Court
of
his
father
,
administring
all
that
,
which
his
fathers
defect
of
light
vnabled
him
to
doe
.
Abas
the
second
sonne
,
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Tutors
,
held
the
prouince
of
Yasde
;
and
(
as
Courts
are
full
of
rumors
,
and
suspition
neuer
wanteth
in
Princes
,
especially
which
haue
such
imperfections
,
as
they
are
compelled
to
take
knowledge
of
)
the
vertues
of
Abas
,
by
which
he
bound
to
him
the
hearts
of
his
prouincials
,
spred
themselues
further
,
and
so
to
the
Court
;
where
they
were
increased
to
such
a
condition
,
as
altered
the
father
,
&
brothers
reioycing
in
them
,
to
an
opinion
that
his
winning
of
the
affections
of
the
people
,
proceeded
not
from
any
other
worthinesse
,
but
artifice
;
which
had
the
intent
of
it
stretching
to
the
Crowne
:
which
tooke
such
hold
in
the
fathers
mind
,
worne
with
age
,
and
griefe
,
and
sore
with
his
late
misfortunes
,
that
hee
resolued
secretly
his
death
:
The
newes
of
which
being
brought
to
Abas
speedily
by
the
meanes
of
secret
friends
,
not
onely
to
himselfe
,
but
to
his
Gouernors
(
which
as
they
were
the
greatest
of
the
state
,
so
they
were
not
vnfriended
in
the
Court
)
being
so
farre
from
any
such
designe
,
that
he
had
no
sort
of
prouision
at
hand
to
defend
himselfe
;
he
fled
to
the
king
of
Corasan
,
a
countrey
of
the
Tartars
,
limiting
vpon
the
east
of
Persia
,
euer
infestuous
to
that
state
,
not
more
in
their
owne
disposition
,
(
being
a
people
giuen
to
spoile
,
vnquiet
,
and
which
cannot
liue
in
rest
)
then
through
their
dependance
vpon
the
Turke
,
whose
religion
they
professe
,
(
which
the
Persians
do
not
,
but
much
altered
)
and
whose
petnionaries
they
were
,
by
which
they
were
bound
in
all
seasons
,
when
the
Turke
was
tied
to
the
Christians
wars
,
to
diuert
the
Persian
from
looking
to
the
commodity
of
such
a
time
;
besides
,
on
occasions
,
the
Turke
vsed
to
transport
great
forces
of
them
ouer
the
Caspian
sea
into
Siruana
;
and
from
thence
passed
them
into
Hungary
;
either
the
longer
way
by
land
,
or
the
shorter
by
sea
,
ouer
Negropont
.
To
this
king
Abas
was
exceeding
welcome
,
and
cherished
,
and
honored
like
his
owne
sonne
.
Shortly
after
the
flight
,
the
father
died
,
and
Sultan
Hamzire
Mirza
,
his
sonne
,
succeeded
him
,
who
renued
the
truce
with
the
Turke
,
through
the
necessity
which
he
had
to
vse
the
most
,
which
his
strength
and
power
could
yeeld
him
,
to
suppresse
a
great
rebellion
of
the
Turcomans
:
whom
,
at
the
last
,
he
so
brake
with
diuers
battels
,
and
all
other
sort
of
afflictions
,
that
they
deliuered
him
vp
their
Princes
,
and
then
themselues
.
Their
Princes
he
beheaded
,
and
of
them
,
slue
twenty
thousand
of
the
ablest
for
the
warres
,
assuring
his
peace
with
them
by
their
extremest
ruine
;
and
as
he
was
,
by
all
reports
,
a
most
braue
,
&
warlike
Prince
,
hauing
pacified
his
owne
state
,
and
desirous
to
recouer
,
not
onely
what
was
freshly
lost
;
but
all
which
was
formerly
taken
from
the
Sophies
kingdome
,
by
the
power
of
the
Ottomans
;
vnited
all
his
thoughts
,
and
all
his
Councels
to
that
one
great
end
;
which
all
finished
with
his
life
,
ending
it selfe
by
treason
of
his
Princes
(
not
without
perswasion
of
the
Turke
)
when
he
had
fit
yeares
,
mind
,
and
courage
;
and
meanes
ioined
with
ocasion
,
to
haue
made
himselfe
the
greatest
Prince
of
many
ages
:
all
which
though
they
made
his
death
miserable
,
yet
the
manner
was
more
miserable
;
being
vilely
slaine
by
his
Barber
,
retiring
halfe
drunke
from
a
banquet
,
to
which
he
was
prouoked
by
the
conspirators
,
which
presently
parted
the
state
between
them
;
euery
man
making
himselfe
absolute
Prince
of
those
prouinces
,
which
they
had
in
gouernment
;
and
parting
the
royall
treasure
amongst
them
for
their
reciprocall
maintenance
,
disposed
themselues
vnitely
to
resist
the
comming
in
of
Abas
;
whom
notwithstanding
they
did
not
much
feare
,
hauing
promise
of
the
Turke
that
he
should
be
detained
in
Corassan
where
he
was
refuged
:
&
knowing
that
he
had
neither
men
nor
money
,
nor
years
to
giue
him
any
incoragement
to
attempt
against
them
,
who
had
soone
confirmed
themselues
,
both
with
giuing
good
satisfaction
to
the
people
,
and
with
liberality
to
the
Souldiary
;
and
their
entrance
into
the
state
being
without
opposition
,
and
so
,
without
offence
,
made
the
foundation
both
more
sure
and
more
facile
.
The
Turkes
Councell
also
was
exceeding
good
for
his
ends
;
for
hauing
dissipated
the
vnite
power
of
that
great
dominion
into
so
many
branches
,
which
though
he
knew
could
continue
together
to
maintaine
their
wrong
against
the
true
kings
right
;
yet
that
their
owne
ambitions
in
short
time
would
stirre
them
to
debate
amongst
themselues
:
by
which
,
as
he
was
out
of
doubt
of
perill
,
during
the
trauels
of
his
warres
,
so
he
was
assured
that
at
his
conuenient
occasion
,
either
by
their
owne
quarrels
,
or
by
his
power
,
they
should
be
all
subiected
to
him
.
Abas
in
the
meane
time
,
whose
iust
Title
made
him
king
,
assured
himselfe
that
both
the
murder
of
his
brother
,
and
this
parting
of
the
state
,
had
the
Turkes
counsell
concurring
with
those
Princes
impiety
:
and
not
doubting
but
the
king
of
Corasan
was
also
perswaded
to
deteine
him
,
resolued
notwithstanding
by
his
necessity
,
began
to
deale
boldly
with
him
for
his
assistance
against
his
rebels
,
laying
before
him
how
preiuditiall
the
example
was
to
all
Princes
;
and
most
to
him
who
was
chiefe
of
all
those
Tartar
Princes
,
rather
by
their
voluntary
election
,
then
his
states
surpassing
them
in
power
;
that
as
ambitions
were
vnlimited
generally
,
so
were
they
euer
most
in
those
,
which
had
most
power
to
vse
them
largely
;
that
all
the
states
of
the
Tartars
were
held
by
great
Princes
,
and
absolute
,
which
had
obeyed
him
so
long
,
rather
because
they
would
,
then
they
could
do
no
other
.
If
this
rebellion
of
naturall
subiects
proceeded
to
a
happy
course
,
much
more
would
they
bee
animated
to
do
the
like
which
were
Lords
,
and
no
subiects
:
besides
,
though
the
counsell
of
the
Turke
had
not
palesated
it selfe
openly
,
yet
in
all
iudgement
it
might
be
perceiued
,
that
he
had
onely
raised
this
,
as
a
Pageant
,
to
fill
the
world
with
gazing
,
whilest
hee
fitted
his
designes
to
impatronize
himselfe
of
the
state
;
which
if
he
should
do
,
how
terrible
a
neighbour
he
would
be
to
the
King
of
Corassan
,
he
submitted
to
his
wise
consideration
.
For
himselfe
,
that
he
had
bin
so
bound
to
him
in
his
first
calamity
,
that
without
other
reasons
,
he
did
not
doubt
but
the
same
royall
and
generous
spirit
,
which
moued
him
then
to
take
compassion
of
him
,
would
also
moue
him
to
the
like
now
:
And
the
more
,
hauing
greater
hopes
of
meanes
for
a
gratefull
acknowledgement
from
him
;
which
hee
which
had
the
management
so
long
of
his
disposition
could
not
doubt
of
;
and
if
he
had
begun
to
perswade
him
with
other
reasons
,
hee
did
it
rather
in
the
duty
of
a
true
friend
,
to
lay
before
him
his
owne
interest
,
then
in
any
diffidence
of
his
free
inclination
to
his
good
.
Whereupon
the
king
of
Corasan
,
though
pre-occupied
by
the
Turke
,
yet
desirous
to
bee
his
friend
a
farre
off
,
and
also
doubting
the
successe
of
Abas
,
neither
hauing
yeares
,
nor
experience
,
nor
friends
;
In
fine
,
beeing
destitute
of
all
reasonable
hope
,
not
to
moue
the
Turks
displeasure
vpon
such
a
disaduantagious
condition
,
was
notwithstanding
contented
to
see
whether
something
might
be
moued
by
such
a
helpe
as
should
not
appeare
to
giuen
by
him
,
but
rather
voluntary
followers
of
Abas
his
fortune
:
hee
gaue
him
three
thousand
horse
onely
to
put
him
in
possession
of
that
state
,
which
by
his
vertue
,
and
fortune
,
is
growne
now
so
great
,
that
it
hath
deuoured
all
the
states
of
the
Tartars
,
extended
it selfe
so
farre
as
Cabull
to
the
East
;
the
Arabian
gulfe
downe
to
Ballsarack
on
the
South
;
within
three
dayes
iourney
of
Babylon
on
the
West
;
and
to
Tauris
on
the
North
;
embracing
the
whole
circumference
of
the
Caspian
sea
vnto
Astracan
,
which
is
the
vttermost
of
the
Moscouites
Dominion
,
and
Seruane
of
the
Turkes
,
which
lyeth
vpon
that
sea
:
an
Empire
so
great
,
so
populous
,
&
so
aboundant
;
that
as
it
may
compare
with
most
of
the
greatest
that
euer
were
,
so
is
it
terrible
to
the
Turkes
,
which
is
the
greatest
that
now
is
;
though
I
doe
thinke
verily
,
That
in
Asia
the
Persian
hath
as
great
an
extent
of
Territories
,
as
the
Turke
,
and
better
inhabited
,
better
gouerned
,
and
in
better
obedience
,
and
affection
,
I
am
sure
he
hath
.
With
this
small
troope
,
the
King
of
Persia
,
guided
by
his
infinite
Royall
courage
,
entred
Persia.
But
as
those
which
are
wicked
,
are
euer
so
well
instructed
in
the
Art
of
their
profession
,
that
they
neuer
want
instruments
in
themselues
to
deuise
,
and
in
others
to
act
those
counsels
which
must
euer
bee
waking
,
to
maintaine
what
they
haue
gotten
by
their
sceleratenesse
:
So
their
Spyes
hastened
,
with
such
diligence
,
to
giue
those
Rebels
notice
,
of
their
Kings
beeing
on
foote
,
that
the
next
of
them
to
him
,
had
time
to
arme
great
forces
,
and
incountred
him
in
a
Prouince
,
called
Sistane
:
and
though
his
inuincible
spirit
,
without
any
sparke
of
feare
,
made
him
aduenture
to
fight
vpon
so
vn-equall
termes
,
as
was
three
thousand
against
twenty
thousand
;
hee
found
by
his
experience
,
that
Maiesty
and
right
,
is
nothing
without
power
to
beare
them
vp
:
and
that
no
exquisite
vigour
of
the
minde
,
can
resist
the
violence
of
sinister
fortune
,
nor
oppression
of
many
hands
.
Yet
did
fortune
so
much
care
(
for
so
great
vertue
)
that
shee
gaue
him
way
to
escape
to
to
the
Mountaines
,
all
the
rest
of
the
small
troupe
being
cut
in
peeces
.
This
victory
assured
the
Rebels
(
as
they
thought
)
from
all
further
danger
;
supposing
that
these
small
forces
,
were
all
,
which
then
their
King
could
,
or
hereafter
should
bee
able
to
lead
against
them
:
Imagining
that
the
King
of
Corrasan
,
if
hee
would
haue
succored
him
indeed
,
that
hee
would
neuer
haue
cast
a
way
those
few
,
to
increase
the
strength
of
their
foundation
,
and
to
diminish
the
others
reputation
,
which
is
so
effectuall
in
a
not
well
confirmed
Princes
first
actions
,
especially
in
a
Prince
who
must
come
to
his
right
by
his
vertue
and
fortune
.
But
the
King
of
Persia
,
whose
owne
minde
euer
comforted
him
,
with
a
stedfast
assurance
of
his
greatnesse
,
to
which
hee
is
now
growne
,
hauing
recouered
the
Mountaines
,
liued
amongst
the
Heardes-men
for
three
months
,
vnknowne
,
changing
continually
,
from
place
to
place
,
without
any
certaine
abode
,
accompanied
onely
with
ten
or
twelue
followers
,
which
were
of
his
first
Gouernours
,
and
other
yong
Gentlemen
brought
vp
with
him
from
his
child-hood
.
But
being
now
no
longer
able
to
temporize
with
his
great
desire
,
resoluing
to
proue
the
last
,
and
the
vttermost
of
his
fortune
,
and
remembring
how
much
loue
and
affection
those
of
Yasd
had
shewed
towards
him
in
the
time
of
his
gouerning
them
,
and
how
much
he
had
truely
deserued
of
them
,
determined
to
shew
himselfe
in
that
Prouince
;
and
proue
what
effect
the
Maiesty
of
his
person
,
the
iustice
of
his
cause
,
and
former
obligation
would
worke
in
them
:
which
,
though
it
were
a
foundation
proued
euer
false
,
almost
by
all
experiences
,
The
peoples
affections
euer
raising
mens
hopes
,
and
ruining
their
persons
:
Yet
it
proued
otherwise
with
this
King
;
who
was
no
sooner
certaine
knowne
in
those
parts
,
but
numbers
of
people
came
flocking
to
him
,
armed
and
appointed
for
the
wars
:
in
such
sort
,
that
before
any
prouision
could
bee
made
against
him
(
this
being
an
accident
so
farre
remoued
from
all
sort
of
suspition
)
he
had
a
power
together
,
too
strong
to
be
easily
suppressed
;
which
was
no
sooner
heard
by
Ferrat
Can
,
a
great
Prince
,
and
discontented
with
the
alteration
of
the
gouernement
(
to
whose
share
none
of
that
partition
had
falne
,
his
fortune
being
such
,
that
at
the
time
of
the
other
Kings
death
,
he
had
none
of
the
Prouinces
to
administer
,
and
they
were
parted
onely
betweene
them
,
which
held
them
)
he
I
say
,
with
his
brother
,
and
a
company
of
some
ten
thousand
,
came
and
ioyned
themselues
to
the
forces
of
the
King
.
Neither
were
the
men
so
welcome
,
as
that
Ferrat
Can
,
being
a
wise
Prince
,
and
a
great
Souldier
,
grew
a
party
,
and
such
as
the
King
also
stood
in
need
of
:
Neither
did
the
King
loose
any
sort
of
opportunity
,
but
hearing
of
the
Assembly
which
certaine
of
the
Princes
were
making
in
the
neerest
Prouinces
vnto
him
,
with
all
speed
fell
vpon
them
,
and
ouer-throwing
them
followed
them
as
farre
as
Casbin
.
In
the
meane
time
,
those
of
Shyras
,
Asphaan
,
Cassan
assisted
by
the
Kings
of
Gheylan
,
and
Mazandran
,
gather
mighty
forces
;
the
Turkes
armed
at
Tauris
,
and
the
Prince
of
Hamadan
,
hauing
called
in
a
strength
of
the
Courdiues
,
to
his
assistance
,
was
marching
also
towards
Casbin
:
So
that
the
King
was
likely
to
be
so
inclosed
with
all
these
Armies
,
that
his
first
victory
would
rather
haue
proued
a
snare
to
his
intrapment
;
then
important
,
as
he
hoped
,
to
the
some
of
his
affaires
:
Whence
he
resolued
to
helpe
,
with
Art
,
that
which
he
was
much
too
weake
to
accomplish
by
strength
.
Wherefore
he
leaueth
Ferrat
Can
,
in
Casbin
with
some
fiue
thousand
men
,
accompanied
with
Zulpher
his
brother
;
and
himselfe
,
with
the
rest
of
his
power
marched
towards
the
Can
of
Hamadane
.
Ferrat
Can
,
according
to
the
deliberation
taken
betweene
the
King
and
him
,
thewed
himselfe
altered
from
the
Kings
part
,
writeth
to
the
Rebels
,
which
were
all
,
in
a
grosse
,
aduanced
as
farre
,
as
the
mid-way
betweene
Cassan
and
Casbin
,
and
offereth
not
onely
to
ioyne
that
strength
which
hee
had
with
them
,
but
to
mutine
the
Kings
army
,
which
was
lodged
in
the
Mountaines
towards
Hammadane
,
in
a
shew
to
keepe
those
straights
,
to
giue
impeachment
to
the
passage
of
that
other
Army
;
but
indeed
to
protract
time
onely
,
and
to
expect
the
euent
of
his
other
counsels
.
The
other
Cans
rebelled
easily
and
desirously
imbraced
Ferrat
Cans
proposition
,
hasted
the
Army
towards
Casbin
,
which
they
entred
without
difficulty
,
both
by
the
nature
of
the
place
,
which
is
not
of
any
strength
,
and
conueyance
of
Ferrat
.
There
were
many
daies
spent
in
Counsell
,
and
at
last
it
was
concluded
,
since
the
suppression
of
the
King
was
certaine
,
being
abandoned
by
him
which
was
his
onely
Captaine
and
Counsellour
;
by
so
great
a
part
of
his
strength
;
and
vpon
the
confidence
which
Ferrat
gaue
them
to
mutine
the
rest
;
that
it
would
proue
too
dangerous
,
to
call
in
those
forces
of
the
Turkes
,
which
were
in
readinesse
for
their
succour
;
Not
knowing
whether
they
should
so
easily
free
themselues
of
them
againe
,
if
they
were
once
entred
.
They
feared
the
Turkes
purposes
,
and
as
much
feared
to
know
them
;
therefore
to
auoide
the
danger
of
being
compelled
to
experience
them
,
they
determined
to
write
to
the
Bassa
of
Tauris
,
that
the
war
was
so
certaine
to
bee
finished
,
by
themselues
,
that
they
would
reserue
his
fauour
till
a
more
vrgent
opportunity
:
and
with
that
deliberation
a
principall
man
was
dispatched
with
a
present
for
the
Bassa
.
Of
this
,
the
King
had
present
aduice
,
by
a
confident
messenger
,
and
also
that
few
nights
after
,
the
principals
of
the
Army
were
to
meete
together
at
Ferrats
house
,
inuited
to
a
great
banquet
;
which
being
vnderstood
by
him
,
electing
fiue
thousand
of
his
best
men
,
and
best
horsing
,
with
great
,
and
close
iourneies
,
he
came
to
Casbin
;
where
hauing
secretly
disposed
his
people
,
in
the
Mountaine
,
couered
with
the
quarter
of
Ferrats
troupe
,
hee
expected
the
signe
which
was
to
bee
giuen
him
.
The
Prince
(
as
it
was
appointed
)
failed
not
of
comming
,
nor
hee
of
his
signe
to
the
King
,
nor
the
King
to
accomplish
his
resolution
:
For
Ferrat
hauing
protracted
the
banquet
the
most
part
of
the
night
,
when
the
whole
company
was
heauy
with
wine
and
sleepe
,
the
King
was
receiued
into
the
house
with
three
hundred
men
,
where
without
any
vp-roare
,
he
slew
all
those
which
were
inuited
,
to
the
number
of
three
score
and
ten
;
the
seruants
and
Pages
being
so
suddenly
taken
hold
of
,
and
with
such
dexterity
,
that
without
any
mouing
of
other
rumors
,
the
same
fashion
of
feast
of
singing
and
of
dancing
,
continued
all
the
night
;
and
in
that
space
all
the
rest
of
those
people
,
which
the
King
had
with
him
,
were
appointed
,
in
the
breaking
of
the
day
,
to
make
the
greatest
shew
,
and
the
greatest
noise
that
they
could
vnder
the
foote
of
the
Mountaine
,
as
though
all
the
Army
had
beene
there
,
marching
to
the
Towne
.
When
the
Alarum
beganne
to
bee
hot
in
the
Towne
,
and
euery
man
fell
to
his
Armes
,
and
repaired
to
Ferrats
lodging
,
where
they
supposed
their
Princes
to
haue
bene
;
the
King
hauing
disposed
his
three
hundred
men
which
were
shut
fitly
in
the
house
,
and
Zulpher
hauing
his
fiue
thousand
all
in
a
Troope
,
in
the
great
place
,
the
threescore
and
ten
Cans
heades
were
shewed
all
laced
vpon
a
string
,
and
hung
out
of
a
Tarras
;
vpon
which
the
King
presently
shewed
himselfe
,
accompanied
with
Ferrat
Can
;
whereas
the
Maiesty
of
the
King
,
the
terrour
of
the
sight
,
represented
before
them
,
the
feare
of
the
Army
,
which
they
saw
(
as
they
thought
)
at
hand
,
Zulpher
and
Ferrat
Cans
power
amongst
them
,
which
they
perceiued
turned
against
them
;
their
being
destitute
of
Commanders
,
and
the
guiltinesse
of
their
owne
consciences
,
for
their
rebellion
,
stroke
them
into
so
dead
an
amazement
,
that
they
stood
ready
,
rather
to
receiue
all
mischiefe
,
then
that
they
had
either
courage
,
or
mindes
,
or
counsell
to
auoide
it
.
The
King
,
as
though
he
had
a
while
aduised
with
himselfe
what
he
would
both
say
and
do
;
at
last
after
a
good
pause
,
seeming
that
his
royall
mercy
had
preuailed
against
his
iust
indignation
;
hee
told
them
,
that
the
wickednesse
of
their
vniuersall
conspiracy
against
him
,
was
such
,
that
hee
was
distracted
in
himselfe
,
what
to
say
or
doe
against
them
:
for
though
they
might
excuse
themselues
vpon
those
Princes
which
had
seduced
them
;
yet
they
knew
,
that
the
others
authority
,
had
no
more
force
vpon
them
then
their
own
willing
obedience
,
which
called
as
great
a
punishment
vpon
the
one
,
as
the
other
.
What
cause
they
should
haue
,
generally
,
to
desire
such
an
innouation
of
gouernement
,
as
they
,
by
their
owne
conuenence
had
erected
amongst
them
,
he
could
not
deuise
;
his
Grand-father
,
Father
,
and
Brother
,
hauing
euer
guided
the
Helme
of
their
State
,
with
that
integrity
of
iustice
,
and
that
vniuersall
satisfaction
,
that
it
was
not
to
be
wished
,
of
any
,
to
find
more
tranquility
,
for
those
which
desired
to
liue
onely
quietly
;
nor
more
iust
measure
of
honour
,
or
due
reward
,
then
was
magnificently
giuen
to
those
which
had
deserued
them
;
and
why
they
should
haue
lesse
hope
of
him
,
he
knew
not
,
neuer
hauing
made
,
willingly
,
any
other
demonstration
of
his
minde
,
then
such
as
might
be
proportionable
to
their
best
expectations
.
But
since
his
true
feeling
of
humane
frailty
,
made
him
well
vnderstand
how
easie
mens
mindes
are
to
be
abused
by
others
artifice
,
and
their
owne
corruption
,
hee
to
oke
so
great
a
compassion
of
the
calamity
into
which
they
had
,
(
either
wilfully
,
or
misled
by
others
errors
)
cast
themselues
;
that
if
he
could
haue
any
confidence
,
that
they
would
truely
repent
of
their
past
wickednesse
,
and
bend
their
mindes
to
serue
him
with
a
perfect
heart
,
hee
could
also
easily
perswade
himselfe
to
change
the
seuerity
of
the
iudgement
,
which
they
had
merited
,
into
mercy
,
forgiuenesse
,
and
forgetfulnesse
of
their
offence
;
and
content
himselfe
,
that
this
iniurious
great
disorder
(
which
had
hapned
,
as
all
other
of
that
kind
do
,
through
the
ignorance
of
many
,
and
malice
of
few
)
should
also
be
expiated
by
the
bloud
of
those
few
,
who
had
already
concluded
the
greatnesse
of
their
vsurped
authority
,
and
their
long
hopes
with
a
short
and
iust
death
.
This
being
spoken
,
by
the
King
,
with
courage
and
maiesty
;
and
being
so
far
from
that
which
their
guilty
consciences
did
cause
them
to
apprehend
,
facily
brought
forth
the
ordinary
effectes
of
a
multitude
,
which
being
easily
inclined
to
hope
more
then
they
should
,
and
to
suffer
lesse
then
is
fit
,
as
though
the
King
,
with
his
royall
mercifull
speech
,
had
giuen
them
as
great
a
present
good
,
as
if
hee
had
discharged
them
from
the
terrour
of
the
punishment
of
almost
an
vnpardonable
offence
:
cryed
out
,
let
the
King
liue
,
let
the
King
liue
;
we
are
all
King
Abas
his
slaues
,
and
will
not
suffer
to
liue
any
of
his
enemies
:
and
there
was
more
trouble
to
defend
the
poore
people
of
Casbin
from
sacking
by
them
,
(
their
Towne
euer
hauing
bene
a
wel-disposed
harbour
for
the
Rebels
)
then
to
turne
their
heartes
and
armes
to
the
Kings
part
.
Besides
the
succours
which
the
Kings
of
Gheylan
and
Mazandran
had
sent
the
Rebels
,
were
with
great
difficulty
saued
,
and
returned
to
their
countries
by
the
King
of
Persia
,
with
commandement
to
tell
their
Maisters
,
that
as
the
poore
men
were
not
culpable
,
which
obeyed
their
Princes
authority
,
by
whom
they
were
sent
against
him
,
and
for
that
innocency
,
hee
had
giuen
them
their
liues
;
so
that
hee
would
not
bee
long
from
seeking
his
reuenge
vpon
their
Maisters
,
which
had
more
iustly
deserued
it
,
by
his
neuer
prouoking
them
to
any
offence
.
And
when
hee
came
with
his
Army
thither
,
hee
would
proue
,
by
those
mens
acknowledgement
vnto
him
,
whether
they
could
discerne
by
the
benefites
they
had
already
recieued
of
him
in
the
gift
of
their
liues
,
which
they
had
forfeited
vnto
him
,
by
bearing
Armes
with
Rebels
against
him
,
what
better
hopes
they
might
conceiue
of
him
,
if
they
would
dispose
themselues
to
deserue
good
of
him
.
In
this
meane
time
,
the
same
of
this
great
successe
,
flew
to
both
the
Armies
about
the
Mountaines
of
Hamadan
:
which
,
as
it
comforted
the
Kings
with
exceeding
ioyfulnesse
;
so
it
entred
into
the
others
with
such
a
terror
,
that
they
presently
vanished
,
euery
man
retyring
to
his
best
knowne
safe-gard
,
that
part
of
the
warre
ending
with
the
blast
onely
of
the
fortune
of
the
other
,
with
little
expence
of
time
,
labour
,
and
bloud
:
which
being
vnderstood
by
the
King
,
hee
raised
Oliuer-Dibeague
to
the
title
of
a
Can
,
and
sent
him
,
with
those
forces
which
hee
had
,
to
Hamadan
,
to
settle
the
Country
in
a
good
forme
of
gouernement
,
and
to
ease
it
from
the
oppression
of
the
other
dispersed
troupes
.
Zulpher
hee
also
called
Can
,
and
sent
him
to
Ardoutle
which
frontireth
vpon
Tauris
,
with
an
Army
consisting
of
twenty
and
foure
thousand
men
,
in
shew
to
quiet
the
Countrey
,
but
indeed
,
to
preuent
any
moouing
of
the
Turkes
.
And
because
hee
knew
,
that
as
his
state
stood
then
weake
,
raised
(
as
it
were
)
freshly
from
a
deadly
sickenesse
,
it
was
not
fitte
for
him
(
at
that
time
)
to
bind
himselfe
to
wrastle
with
such
an
enemy
,
by
taking
knowledge
of
his
ill
disposition
towards
him
;
hee
dispatched
Embassadours
to
Constantinople
,
to
Tauris
,
and
to
the
Bassa
of
Babylon
,
to
congratulate
with
them
,
as
with
his
friendes
,
for
the
felicity
of
his
fortune
;
and
to
strengthen
himselfe
,
by
alliance
,
also
the
more
firmely
,
against
the
proceeding
of
any
thing
which
the
Turke
might
designe
against
him
,
either
then
or
in
future
time
;
he
required
the
daughter
of
Simon
Can
,
one
of
the
Princes
of
the
Georgians
,
to
wife
,
which
was
,
with
as
ready
an
affection
performed
,
as
demanded
.
Whiles
that
Lady
was
comming
from
her
father
,
the
King
vnderstanding
that
the
Cans
sonne
of
Hisphaan
held
yet
strong
the
Castle
,
and
whether
he
gaue
it
out
to
amaze
his
Army
,
which
now
beganne
to
looke
for
satisfaction
,
for
the
great
trauels
and
dangers
which
they
had
passed
,
or
whether
hee
had
heard
so
indeed
;
true
it
is
,
that
hee
gaue
out
,
that
the
most
part
of
the
treasure
of
the
former
Kings
of
Persia
,
was
,
by
the
consent
of
the
Rebels
,
for
security
,
kept
together
in
that
Castle
:
to
receiue
the
which
,
and
to
chastice
that
Rebell
,
the
King
marched
thither
with
a
part
onely
of
his
Army
,
leauing
the
rest
at
Casbin
,
which
was
Frontier
to
Gheylan
,
against
which
his
purpose
carried
him
.
Without
much
trouble
,
hee
expugned
the
Fort
at
Hisphaan
,
being
a
large
circumference
onely
of
Mud-wals
,
some
what
thicke
,
with
Towers
,
and
certaine
ill
battlements
,
and
suppressed
that
Rebell
;
but
Treasure
hee
found
none
,
for
the
indignation
whereof
,
hee
made
the
world
beleeue
,
he
dismantled
the
Castle
.
His
owne
necessity
to
content
the
Army
,
and
his
Armies
necessity
to
aske
contentment
,
drew
him
suddenly
back
from
thence
to
Casbin
,
where
he
had
not
stayed
many
daies
,
(
for
daily
satisfaction
with
hope
hauing
no
reall
meanes
)
but
that
the
Queene
arriued
,
honourably
accompanied
with
2000
horse
,
and
Byraicke
Myrza
her
brother
.
The
Marriage
was
soone
dispatched
,
those
countries
vsing
few
ceremonies
in
such
cases
:
and
God
blessed
them
both
so
happily
,
that
within
the
tearme
of
lesse
then
one
yeare
,
shee
brought
him
a
gallant
yong
Prince
who
is
now
liuing
,
called
Sophir
Mirza
.
The
King
vnwilling
to
oppresse
his
countrey
,
and
desiring
to
reuenge
himselfe
vpon
the
kings
of
Gheylan
,
and
Mazandran
,
to
enlarge
his
Empire
,
and
to
content
his
Souldiers
;
hauing
a
flourishing
Army
,
both
in
men
,
and
the
reputation
of
his
present
victory
;
resolued
,
all
vnder
one
,
to
increase
his
stare
,
honour
himselfe
,
ease
his
countrey
,
and
satisfie
his
Souldiers
with
the
enemies
spoyles
.
Gheylan
is
a
country
cut
off
from
Persia
,
with
great
mountaines
,
hard
to
passe
,
full
of
woods
(
which
Persia
wanteth
;
being
here
and
there
onely
sprinkled
with
hils
,
and
very
penurious
of
fuell
,
onely
their
gardens
giue
them
wood
to
burne
,
and
those
hils
,
which
are
some
fagots
of
Pistachios
,
of
which
they
are
well
replenished
)
betweene
those
hils
there
are
certaine
breaches
,
rather
then
vallies
;
which
,
in
the
spring
,
when
the
snow
dissolueth
,
and
the
great
aboundance
of
raine
falleth
,
are
full
of
torrents
;
the
Caspian
sea
includeth
this
Countrey
on
the
East
:
betweene
which
and
the
hils
,
is
a
continuing
valley
,
so
abounding
in
Silke
,
in
Rice
,
and
in
Corne
,
and
so
infinitely
peopled
,
that
Nature
seemeth
to
contend
with
the
peoples
industry
;
the
one
in
sowing
of
men
,
the
other
in
cultiuating
the
land
;
in
which
you
shall
see
no
peece
of
ground
which
is
not
fitted
to
one
vse
or
other
:
their
hils
also
(
which
are
rockes
towards
Casbin
)
are
so
fruitfull
of
herbage
,
shadowed
by
the
trees
,
as
they
shew
,
turned
towards
the
sea
,
that
they
are
euer
full
of
cattell
,
which
yeeldeth
commodity
to
the
countrey
,
by
furnishing
diuers
other
parts
.
In
this
then
lay
the
difficulty
most
of
the
kings
enterprize
,
how
to
enter
the
countrey
:
for
the
rest
there
were
great
reasons
of
his
hopes
,
the
kings
of
those
countries
being
amazed
with
these
first
great
successes
of
the
king
of
Persia
,
their
people
discouraged
,
many
Princes
,
which
though
they
might
vnite
themselues
against
a
common
enemy
,
yet
their
deliberations
could
not
be
so
speedy
,
as
from
one
alone
,
nor
so
firme
;
many
accidents
happening
,
which
might
either
absolutely
dis-ioyne
,
or
diuert
them
one
from
the
other
,
or
cast
suspition
amongst
them
,
which
might
giue
the
way
to
a
good
occasion
against
one
,
by
which
the
victory
against
the
other
might
be
also
facilitated
:
Besides
,
his
owne
Army
was
so
much
raised
in
courage
by
their
last
happy
successes
,
and
those
so
animated
,
through
an
opinion
in
themselues
,
of
that
reputation
which
had
first
followed
the
King
,
and
the
rest
so
desirous
to
wash
away
the
ignominy
of
their
offence
,
by
some
great
and
good
act
,
ioyned
to
the
hope
of
rich
preyes
;
that
there
could
bee
almost
thought
of
no
obstacle
able
to
withstand
their
valour
and
willingnesse
.
Yet
before
the
king
would
enter
into
this
action
,
remembring
,
that
before
he
had
better
setled
himselfe
in
his
owne
state
,
that
he
thrust
himselfe
vpon
a
cast
of
fortune
,
to
seeke
after
the
winning
of
others
;
yet
since
hee
was
forced
vnto
it
,
by
a
certaine
great
necessity
,
hee
resolued
to
take
the
best
wayes
for
the
securing
all
dangers
which
might
rise
against
himselfe
at
home
;
and
setting
his
countrey
in
a
reposed
state
,
from
so
many
tempests
,
which
had
contrarily
moued
it
,
as
well
as
to
make
due
and
confident
prouisions
for
his
intended
warres
.
First
then
he
called
vnto
him
to
Casbin
,
all
gouernors
,
&
all
administrators
of
Iustice
,
whosoeuer
had
occupyed
those
functions
,
during
the
vsurped
rule
of
the
Cans
,
through
all
his
prouinces
;
with
the
kinsmen
,
friends
and
children
of
the
said
Cans
:
besides
,
that
all
men
of
power
,
as
Mirzaes
,
Cans
,
Sultans
,
and
Beagues
,
which
are
principall
Titles
of
Dukes
,
Princes
,
and
Lords
,
should
repaire
thither
,
without
excuse
of
age
,
Can.
Bastana
,
an
ancient
approued
man
,
both
for
fidelity
and
other
worthinesse
,
he
made
principall
Aga
of
his
house
;
which
is
as
great
Chamberlaine
.
Curtchibasschie
Captaine
of
his
Guard
,
which
is
a
general-ship
of
twelue
thousand
shot
,
who
attend
at
the
Port
by
turnes
,
two
hundred
and
fifty
euery
quarter
;
except
when
the
King
goeth
to
the
warres
,
that
they
are
all
bound
to
be
present
.
Ferrat
Can
hee
made
his
Generall
.
Thus
hauing
wisely
and
prouidently
placed
,
through
all
his
estates
,
those
who
must
be
most
assured
to
him
,
their
fortunes
depending
onely
vpon
him
,
hauing
no
more
strength
,
nor
authority
in
themselues
,
then
they
receiued
from
him
:
and
hauing
all
the
great
ones
in
his
Army
with
him
,
or
such
of
them
as
could
not
bee
able
to
follow
him
,
either
by
their
few
,
or
many
yeares
,
or
sickenesse
,
so
securely
left
at
Casbin
,
that
they
could
not
by
themselues
,
or
any
other
,
moue
any
innouation
.
And
moreouer
,
hauing
dispatched
all
those
,
and
keeping
their
persons
with
him
which
had
any
obligation
to
the
former
Cans
,
secured
by
that
meanes
(
as
much
as
the
counsell
of
any
man
could
secure
him
)
from
perill
at
home
:
hauing
called
Oliuer
di
Can
from
Hamadan
,
and
appoynted
him
a
successor
for
that
Gouernement
with
ten
thousand
new
men
;
hee
set
himselfe
forward
to
his
enterprize
,
with
his
old
Troopes
,
and
great
part
of
his
rebelled
Army
,
with
no
greater
courage
and
counsell
then
fortune
:
for
those
men
which
were
remitted
by
him
to
Gheylan
,
and
Mazandran
,
(
as
those
which
had
beene
somewhat
exercised
in
the
warres
)
hauing
,
with
some
more
,
adioined
vnto
them
the
guard
of
the
straights
,
from
which
the
maine
Army
of
the
Kings
was
some
foure
leagues
remoued
(
remembring
the
benefite
of
the
King
,
better
then
their
faith
to
their
Princes
)
at
the
very
sight
of
the
first
Troopes
,
retired
themselues
from
the
places
left
to
their
confidence
in
charge
;
which
aduantage
being
followed
by
Ferrat
,
with
the
Alarum
giuen
,
fell
so
iustly
vpon
that
Army
,
that
what
with
the
vnexpected
terror
of
the
straights
abandoning
,
and
their
being
surprised
in
disorder
,
the
Army
was
facily
broken
,
with
the
death
of
two
of
the
Kings
,
and
an
infinite
slaughter
of
people
,
which
had
beene
much
greater
if
the
woods
had
not
couered
them
from
the
fury
of
their
enemies
.
The
greatest
of
those
kings
hauing
escaped
with
much
difficulty
(
accompanied
euer
with
the
terror
of
the
perill
from
which
he
had
escaped
)
neuer
ended
his
flight
,
vntill
hee
came
into
Seruane
;
and
from
thence
went
to
Constantinople
,
to
desire
succour
from
the
Turke
,
where
he
yet
liueth
.
The
other
,
which
remained
,
being
but
one
,
without
any
great
difficulty
,
or
alteration
of
fortune
,
was
suppressed
.
The
Countrey
being
first
spoiled
,
and
ransomed
at
a
great
rate
,
which
they
might
well
beare
,
by
reason
of
their
great
riches
,
which
they
had
gathered
together
through
a
long
peace
,
and
the
Kings
Army
excellently
well
satisfied
;
he
dispatched
,
instantly
,
Embassadours
to
the
Turke
,
the
Georgians
and
his
old
friend
,
the
King
of
Corassan
,
to
giue
them
an
account
of
this
new
victory
:
not
doubting
,
but
as
it
would
bee
exceeding
pleasant
to
some
;
so
it
would
bee
as
bitter
to
others
:
and
leauing
Ferrat
Can
to
gouerne
the
Countrey
,
and
Oliuer
Dibeague
,
as
his
assistant
,
but
to
bee
commanded
by
him
,
hee
returned
himselfe
full
of
glory
,
and
great
victory
into
Persia
,
disposing
himselfe
to
reduce
his
state
to
that
excellent
forme
of
gouernment
which
now
it
hath
.
First
then
,
after
his
arriuall
in
Casbin
,
hauing
heard
by
his
Viseire
,
&
the
relation
of
Xa-Hammadaga
,
of
some
who
had
not
onely
spoyled
the
Subiects
in
their
substances
;
but
the
country
of
all
orders
,
&
iust
forme
of
gouernement
,
which
now
it
hath
;
and
giuen
them
,
by
that
meanes
,
more
matter
of
dis-vnion
,
then
vnion
;
insomuch
,
that
they
were
ful
of
theeues
,
of
vagabonds
,
of
factions
,
&
such
like
insolencies
:
he
iudged
it
fit
,
to
reduce
it
the
more
peaceable
and
obedient
,
to
giue
it
in
those
cases
,
a
good
condition
of
gouernment
:
Whereupon
,
he
presently
dispatched
that
Xa-hammadaga
,
a
terrible
,
and
resolute
person
,
with
full
power
and
authority
,
for
the
reformation
of
those
disorders
;
who
in
short
time
,
though
with
most
terrible
examples
,
reduced
all
the
Prouinces
to
a
vnite
tranquility
,
with
mighty
reputation
.
Whilst
hee
was
busied
in
that
administration
;
the
King
,
to
shew
that
it
was
necessity
,
that
counselled
to
giue
him
that
excessiue
authority
,
and
to
preserue
it
from
being
odious
to
himselfe
,
appointed
in
the
chiefe
city
of
euery
Prouince
,
a
Gouernour
elected
of
those
of
most
valour
:
to
him
he
ioyned
two
Iudges
of
criminall
and
ciuill
causes
,
a
Treasurer
,
two
Secretaries
,
with
an
excellent
president
,
and
two
Aduocates
generall
,
for
the
causes
both
particular
and
generall
of
the
whole
Prouince
;
Besides
the
particular
Aduocate
of
euery
Citty
,
which
should
be
resident
in
that
Metropolis
.
These
determined
all
causes
within
themselues
of
those
Prouinces
in
which
they
had
the
administration
;
and
because
they
should
neither
be
burthensome
to
the
Prouinces
,
nor
corrupted
in
paritializing
;
the
King
paid
them
their
stipend
,
enioyning
them
vpon
paine
of
life
to
take
no
other
sort
of
reward
.
And
because
such
things
,
and
causes
might
fall
out
,
as
by
reason
of
the
importance
of
them
,
or
appellations
of
the
parties
might
be
brought
before
himselfe
,
because
hee
would
euer
know
what
he
did
,
and
be
continually
informed
,
not
onely
of
the
generall
state
of
the
Prouinces
,
but
of
their
particular
administration
;
hee
ordained
Posts
once
euery
weeks
from
all
parts
,
to
bring
all
sort
of
relations
to
the
Court
;
for
which
cause
also
hee
willed
that
one
of
the
two
generall
Aduocates
should
euer
be
resident
there
,
who
receiuing
those
relations
presenteth
them
to
the
Viseire
,
and
hee
to
the
King
.
The
Viseire
,
sitteth
euery
morning
in
counsell
about
the
generall
state
of
all
the
Kings
Prouinces
,
accompanied
with
the
Kings
Councell
,
Aduocates
resident
,
and
the
Secretaries
of
State
;
there
are
all
matters
heard
,
and
the
opinions
of
the
Councell
written
by
the
Secretaries
of
State
;
then
after
dinner
,
the
Councell
,
or
such
a
part
of
them
as
the
King
will
admit
,
present
those
papers
,
of
which
the
King
pricketh
those
hee
will
haue
proceed
;
the
rest
are
cancelled
;
which
being
done
:
the
Councell
retire
them
againe
to
the
Viseirs
,
and
then
determine
of
the
particular
businesse
of
the
Kings
house
.
The
King
himselfe
euery
Wednesday
,
sitteth
in
the
Councell
publikely
,
accompanied
with
all
those
of
his
Councell
,
and
the
fore-said
Aduocates
:
thither
come
a
floud
of
all
sorts
of
people
,
rich
and
poore
,
and
of
all
Nations
without
distinction
,
and
speake
freely
to
the
King
in
their
owne
cases
,
and
deliuer
euery
one
his
owne
seuerall
Bill
,
which
the
King
receiueth
;
pricketh
some
,
and
reiecteth
other
,
to
be
better
informed
of
.
The
Secretaries
of
State
presently
record
in
the
Kings
Booke
those
which
he
hath
pricked
,
with
all
other
acts
,
then
by
him
enacted
;
the
which
booke
is
carried
by
a
Gentleman
of
the
Chamber
,
into
his
Chamber
,
where
it
euer
remaineth
:
and
woe
bee
to
his
Viseire
,
if
after
the
King
hath
pricked
,
Bill
,
or
Supplication
,
it
bee
againe
brought
the
second
time
.
When
he
goeth
abroad
to
take
the
aire
,
or
to
passe
the
time
in
any
exercise
,
the
poorest
creature
in
the
world
may
giue
him
his
Supplication
:
which
hee
receiueth
,
readeth
,
and
causeth
to
bee
registred
;
and
one
request
,
or
complaint
,
is
not
,
ordinarily
,
brought
him
twise
:
and
though
these
bee
great
waies
,
wise
waies
,
and
iust
waies
,
to
tye
vnto
him
the
hearts
of
any
people
;
yet
the
nature
of
those
is
so
vile
in
themselues
,
that
they
are
no
more
,
nor
longer
good
,
then
they
are
by
a
strong
and
wisely-tempered
hand
made
so
:
The
Countrey
not
being
inhabited
by
those
nobly-disposed
Persians
,
of
which
there
are
but
a
few
,
and
those
few
are
as
they
euer
were
:
But
being
mightily
wasted
by
the
inundation
of
Tamberlaine
,
and
Ismael
afterward
making
himselfe
the
head
of
a
Faction
,
against
the
Ottomans
,
and
by
that
reason
,
forced
to
re-people
his
Countrey
to
giue
himselfe
strength
of
men
against
so
potent
an
Aduersary
,
calling
in
Tartars
,
Turcomans
,
Courdines
,
and
of
all
scum
of
Nations
;
which
though
they
now
liue
in
a
better
countrey
,
yet
haue
not
changed
their
bad
natures
:
though
as
,
I
said
,
so
carefull
and
true
Princely
a
regard
of
the
King
for
the
establishment
of
good
and
iust
orders
,
for
the
gouernement
of
this
Countrey
,
in
equity
,
generall
security
,
and
tranquility
;
had
beene
of
sufficient
ability
to
haue
bound
the
hearts
of
people
vnto
him
:
Yet
knowing
what
his
were
,
and
to
leaue
no
meanes
vnacted
which
might
both
assure
them
more
,
and
himselfe
with
them
;
because
he
knew
,
that
their
owne
dispositions
,
which
were
euill
,
would
neuer
,
rightly
,
iudge
of
the
cause
of
many
rigorous
examples
that
had
passed
,
which
by
that
fault
in
them
,
had
ingendred
him
hatred
amongst
them
;
to
purge
their
minds
from
that
sickenesse
,
and
gaine
them
the
more
confidently
,
hee
determined
to
shew
,
that
if
there
were
any
cruell
act
,
brought
forth
,
it
did
not
grow
from
himselfe
,
but
from
necessity
.
Wherfore
hee
displaced
,
by
little
,
(
finding
particular
occasions
daily
against
some
or
other
)
all
the
whole
Tymarri
of
his
estate
;
as
though
from
them
had
growne
all
such
disorders
,
as
had
corrupted
the
whole
gouernment
,
sending
new
ones
,
and
a
great
part
of
them
Gheylaners
to
their
possessions
,
with
more
limited
authority
,
and
more
fauourable
to
the
people
;
the
old
ones
part
he
casherd
,
part
he
distributed
in
Gheylan
and
Mazandran
,
which
he
had
new
conquered
:
so
that
by
that
Art
,
the
people
began
to
rest
exceeding
well
satisfied
,
and
himselfe
the
more
secured
;
those
which
succeeded
them
being
bound
to
his
fortune
;
and
those
which
were
remoued
also
,
being
disposed
in
the
new
conquered
Prouinces
,
which
they
were
bound
to
maintaine
in
security
,
for
their
owne
fortunes
,
which
depended
onely
vpon
their
preseruing
them
for
the
King
.
When
all
these
things
were
done
,
and
the
King
began
to
thinke
himselfe
,
throughly
established
,
for
a
long
time
,
both
from
intrinsicke
and
extrinsicke
dangers
,
The
Turkes
forces
being
so
occupied
in
the
warres
of
Hungary
,
that
hee
had
no
leasure
to
looke
to
his
increasing
;
the
Tartarres
of
Corrasan
,
his
friendes
,
by
the
old
hospitality
which
hee
had
receiued
from
their
King
;
and
if
not
his
friends
,
yet
cold
enemies
,
such
as
would
bee
long
resoluing
,
before
they
would
attempt
any
thing
to
his
preiudice
:
There
fell
out
a
new
occasion
to
trouble
,
both
the
peace
of
his
minde
and
Countrey
,
if
it
had
not
beene
preuented
with
great
dexterity
,
celerity
,
and
fortune
.
For
Ferrat
Can
,
not
regarding
his
benefites
done
to
the
King
,
knowing
too
well
his
owne
worthinesse
,
and
attributing
vnto
that
,
the
successes
of
all
the
kings
fortunes
,
and
for
so
great
causes
,
not
being
able
to
limit
his
mind
within
any
compasse
of
satisfaction
,
not
resting
contented
with
the
place
of
Generall
,
nor
Gouernment
of
Gheylan
,
nor
with
the
honour
to
be
called
the
Kings
Father
,
but
despising
that
Haldenbeague
should
bee
Viseire
,
and
not
himselfe
all
;
which
had
giuen
the
king
all
;
began
to
take
counsell
,
to
innouate
,
and
alter
things
with
the
Bassaes
of
Seruan
,
and
Tauris
.
So
dangerous
are
too
great
benefites
from
a
subiect
to
a
Prince
,
both
for
themselues
and
the
Prince
,
when
they
haue
their
minds
only
capable
of
merit
,
and
nothing
of
duty
.
These
practises
of
his
,
were
most
dangerous
,
for
which
hee
did
more
assure
himselfe
,
to
haue
layd
a
strong
foundation
for
the
discontentment
of
those
Timari
which
the
King
had
sent
into
his
Gouernement
;
and
so
had
they
beene
,
questionlesse
,
if
Oliuer
di-Can
,
through
his
true
zeale
to
his
Maisters
seruice
;
and
,
perhappes
,
a
little
enuy
at
the
others
greatnesse
,
had
not
made
him
so
watchfully
diligent
,
that
hauing
gathered
his
intentions
by
very
momentuall
circumstances
,
hee
gaue
the
King
,
from
time
to
time
,
notice
of
them
;
which
at
the
first
were
negligently
receiued
,
and
rather
taken
as
matter
of
emulation
,
then
truth
:
But
when
those
very
same
aduertisements
euer
continued
,
and
Oliuer
di
Can
,
was
not
at
all
terrified
from
sending
of
them
;
neither
by
the
kings
neglecting
them
,
nor
rebuke
,
and
that
Mahomet
Shefia
was
also
secretly
arriued
in
the
Court
,
with
more
particular
and
certaine
aduice
,
that
the
Bassa
of
Seruan
had
sent
a
great
summe
of
money
to
Ferrat
,
which
was
receiued
on
a
certaine
day
,
and
in
a
certaine
place
.
The
king
hereupon
presently
sent
Xa-Tamas
Coolibeague
,
his
chiefe
fauourite
,
to
will
Ferrat
Can
,
for
very
important
affaires
,
for
the
determining
of
which
his
presence
was
requisite
,
to
repaire
to
the
Court
;
which
hee
excused
,
through
his
indisposition
,
which
he
said
to
bee
such
,
that
he
could
not
possibly
trauell
:
so
that
persisting
in
that
deniall
,
when
Xa-Tamas
Coolibeague
perceiued
that
he
would
not
be
perswaded
,
he
returned
with
all
expedition
to
the
king
;
who
assuring
himselfe
the
more
by
the
denial
,
of
the
former
related
accusations
,
instantly
commanded
his
guard
of
twelue
thousand
Courtchies
to
be
in
a
readinesse
;
with
which
,
and
a
thousand
of
the
Xa-Hammagaes
he
vsed
such
celerity
,
that
he
preuented
the
newes
of
his
comming
,
and
was
sooner
arriued
at
Ferrats
house
then
he
had
almost
opinion
that
his
messenger
had
beene
returned
:
yet
,
although
amazed
with
his
owne
guiltinesse
,
and
the
kings
sudden
comming
,
he
made
shift
to
make
great
shew
of
the
indisposition
which
hee
had
so
long
counterfeited
.
The
king
,
as
soone
as
he
came
vnto
him
,
said
;
that
hee
had
taken
a
great
iourney
to
visit
him
in
his
sicknesse
,
and
to
bring
him
the
cure
thereof
;
and
hauing
commanded
all
out
of
the
Chamber
,
but
themselues
onely
alone
(
as
the
king
himselfe
told
me
)
he
vsed
such
like
speeches
vnto
him
:
Father
,
all
counsels
,
as
well
in
publicke
,
as
priuate
deliberations
,
require
a
reposed
spirit
,
free
,
and
pure
from
wrath
,
feare
,
all
perturbation
or
perticular
interest
;
for
a
troubled
mind
is
more
apt
to
erre
,
then
to
aduse
iustly
,
and
hath
more
need
of
proper
medicines
for
it selfe
,
then
it
hath
properly
in
it selfe
to
apply
any
comfort
to
others
;
and
is
fitter
to
receiue
,
then
to
giue
counsell
:
from
which
,
as
from
a
great
and
violent
current
,
are
caried
all
those
errours
and
disorders
which
are
brought
vpon
rash
deliberations
,
the
which
haue
euer
long
repentances
,
and
disasters
,
as
the
perpetuall
memories
of
their
hauing
bene
;
and
are
most
of
all
detestably
blameable
,
when
such
an
imprudency
is
accompanied
with
that
infinite
damage
,
as
to
thinke
of
alteration
in
a
state
,
which
cannot
proceede
without
in-iustice
,
seeleratenesse
,
bloud
,
and
a
thousand
mischiefes
:
an
act
in
it selfe
wonderfull
difficult
,
wonderfull
wicked
,
and
proceeding
from
an
incomparable
vile
quality
.
But
hee
that
can
restraine
himselfe
from
being
transported
by
vntemperate
apetites
,
and
can
dominate
his
passions
,
and
giue
a
iust
rule
to
himselfe
,
to
his
cupidities
and
desires
,
doth
euer
giue
the
best
time
to
all
deliberations
,
by
mittigating
heat
and
fury
;
and
so
altereth
all
counsell
,
from
that
nature
which
it
receiueth
,
from
an
vnquiet
and
troubled
mind
:
Which
if
you
had
done
,
you
would
not
haue
entred
into
a
thought
onely
of
so
dangerous
an
action
against
your selfe
,
nor
so
dishonourable
as
to
haue
machinated
the
ruine
and
trouble
of
your
owne
King
,
Friend
,
&
Country
;
which
though
it
be
palesated
,
it
is
but
to
my selfe
only
,
who
rather
desire
to
chastice
you
as
a
friend
,
with
good
admonition
,
then
by
rigour
.
Therfore
,
though
it
be
euer
incident
to
all
men
,
to
haue
this
great
defect
,
to
feare
chiefely
nearest
dangers
,
and
to
esteeme
much
lesse
,
then
they
ought
,
of
the
future
:
Yet
bee
you
most
assured
,
that
the
perill
which
you
might
feare
from
my
person
,
is
much
lesse
then
that
which
you
had
throwne
your selfe
into
,
if
you
had
,
or
should
prosecute
your
enterprizes
.
From
my
person
you
shall
neuer
,
(
except
by
great
constraint
from
your selfe
)
looke
for
any
thing
of
other
condition
,
then
a
true
Princely
loue
,
and
a
Royall
regard
of
your
seruices
:
In
the
other
course
,
you
called
against
my
will
,
vpon
your selfe
,
the
rigor
of
Iustice
,
and
fury
of
the
sword
,
which
in
the
warre
consumeth
all
alike
.
And
because
in
that
aduersity
which
a
mans
minde
bringeth
vpon
himselfe
,
the
feares
and
terrours
are
euer
greater
then
the
euils
which
concurre
with
them
;
be
you
of
good
comfort
without
the
feeling
onely
of
any
such
conditioned
thing
,
and
call
strength
from
your
minde
to
your
body
,
that
you
may
endure
to
go
with
me
to
Hisphaan
,
where
you
shall
haue
cause
to
digest
all
these
melancholies
.
Ferrat
neither
excused
,
nor
confessed
;
but
indifferently
answered
the
king
,
as
sory
to
haue
giuen
cause
of
offence
,
and
infinitely
reioycing
(
as
hee
seemed
)
that
the
king
had
so
royally
pacified
himselfe
with
him
:
and
not
daring
to
refuse
to
go
with
the
king
,
desired
him
to
vse
some
few
daies
in
the
visiting
of
the
Countrey
;
in
which
time
,
hee
hoped
that
God
,
and
the
comfort
of
his
presence
,
would
raise
him
from
his
infirmity
.
The
king
certainly
(
as
I
before
said
)
was
by
all
necessity
in
the
world
,
either
forced
to
execute
him
,
or
to
reconcile
him
perfectly
vnto
him
:
for
any
midle
course
had
but
made
him
desperate
,
and
aggrauated
all
sort
of
perill
,
which
he
might
haue
feared
from
him
;
his
seruices
already
done
,
his
valour
and
vertue
were
of
great
moment
to
perswade
the
king
to
the
easier
way
;
being
ioyned
to
his
owne
excellent
mind
,
which
I
haue
seene
the
rarest
proofes
of
,
that
may
bee
brought
forth
by
Prince
,
or
man
liuing
.
But
Ferrat
Can
(
who
knew
,
that
true
iustice
neuer
weigheth
offences
,
and
deserts
,
but
seuerally
,
and
without
intermingling
them
together
,
rewardeth
the
one
,
and
chasticeth
the
other
;
and
that
benefites
are
more
easier
forgotten
,
then
iniuries
)
feeling
the
weight
of
his
offence
,
and
measuring
the
kings
heart
by
his
owne
,
gaue
the
wickednesse
of
his
minde
power
ouer
his
vertue
;
And
,
though
hee
seemed
altered
to
all
good
intentions
,
yet
his
heart
was
still
swollen
with
that
poyson
which
shortly
brought
him
to
destruction
.
The
king
hauing
staid
some
eight
,
or
ten
dayes
in
the
Countrey
,
was
sooner
hastened
thence
,
then
hee
thought
,
by
the
newes
of
the
Queenes
death
,
who
was
deceased
by
a
sudden
and
violent
sicknesse
,
after
his
departure
:
so
that
with
great
speede
,
taking
Ferrat
with
him
;
and
leauing
Lieu-tenant
in
the
Countrey
,
for
Ferrat
,
Mahomet
Shefia
,
he
returned
to
Hisphaan
;
where
,
after
some
dayes
spent
in
sorrow
,
for
his
great
losse
,
hee
sent
to
Alexander
,
the
other
Can
of
the
Georgians
,
to
demand
his
daughter
,
by
that
meanes
to
binde
againe
that
league
,
which
might
haue
beene
dissolued
by
the
death
of
the
other
Queene
:
In
that
Embassage
went
Xa-Tamas
Coolibeague
,
who
returned
with
the
Lady
within
few
moneths
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
brother
to
that
king
of
Corasan
,
who
had
so
royally
and
carefully
brought
vp
the
king
of
Persia
,
when
he
fled
from
the
wrath
of
his
father
,
rebelled
against
his
brother
,
slue
him
,
and
all
his
children
;
but
onely
one
;
whose
tutors
fled
with
him
into
the
mountaines
,
&
so
escaped
the
present
danger
,
&
persecution
of
that
tyrant
.
Diuers
other
also
,
as
they
had
been
in
estimation
or
fauour
with
the
old
king
,
fearing
for
that
,
the
violence
of
the
present
authority
,
and
others
,
onely
discontented
with
the
alteration
,
and
the
wicked
meanes
of
it
,
fled
into
Persia
;
by
whom
the
king
hauing
largely
and
perfectly
vnderstood
the
state
of
things
,
hauing
so
faire
a
way
both
to
shew
an
infinite
royall
point
of
gratitude
to
that
one
poore
posterity
of
the
murdered
king
,
for
great
obligations
to
the
father
;
and
withall
,
to
assure
himselfe
in
future
times
and
occasions
,
from
that
certaine
enemy
,
which
had
euer
hung
,
like
a
dangerous
cloud
ouer
his
state
,
vsually
breaking
into
terrible
tempests
,
as
it
was
,
or
should
bee
carried
against
him
by
the
breath
of
the
Turke
:
though
he
knew
those
Tartars
so
obstinate
enemies
to
his
Gouernment
,
and
Religion
,
that
if
they
had
the
most
odious
reasons
of
dis-union
amongst
themselues
,
yet
that
they
would
combine
against
him
;
without
reposing
himselfe
vpon
any
hope
to
be
holpen
by
those
partialities
,
which
the
refuged
vnto
him
seemed
to
promise
;
but
confident
onely
in
the
iustice
of
the
cause
which
he
intended
,
in
his
owne
force
,
vertue
,
wisedome
and
fortune
;
hee
resolued
to
gather
his
Armie
,
and
to
goe
for
those
parts
;
to
which
hee
was
,
besides
his
owne
disposition
,
mightily
instigated
by
Ferrat
Can
,
whose
feare
&
ambition
,
being
without
meanes
of
end
,
gaue
him
assurance
,
by
the
place
of
Generall
which
hee
held
,
to
haue
some
faire
opportunity
giuen
him
to
end
them
,
with
the
kings
ruine
,
and
without
his
owne
danger
.
Thirty
thousand
men
the
king
tooke
with
him
for
that
warre
,
twelue
thousand
Harquebusiers
,
which
bare
long
peeces
,
halfe
a
foote
longer
then
our
Muskets
,
sleightly
made
;
the
bullet
of
the
height
of
Caliuer
,
which
they
vse
well
and
certainely
:
and
eighteene
thousand
horse
,
which
may
seeme
a
smal
troop
in
these
places
,
where
the
wars
are
carried
with
innumerable
multitudes
.
But
the
king
of
Persiaes
iudgement
agreeth
with
that
of
the
best
experienced
Captains
,
that
multitudes
are
confusers
of
orders
,
&
deuourers
of
time
,
and
of
those
meanes
which
nourish
the
wars
;
and
are
good
for
no
other
vse
,
but
to
make
a
war
soone
breake
off
,
and
to
consume
the
world
.
This
Armie
being
chosen
out
from
all
his
forces
,
of
elected
good
men
,
hee
carried
into
Corasan
with
wonderfull
expedition
;
&
had
taken
it
vtterly
vnprouided
,
if
Ferrat
Cans
aduertisement
had
not
preuented
his
celerity
;
who
had
not
onely
giuen
notice
to
them
,
but
to
the
Bassa
of
Tauris
,
of
the
kings
purpose
,
and
his
owne
resolution
,
promising
them
a
certaine
victory
,
and
the
deliuery
of
the
kings
owne
person
.
A
dayes
iourney
the
king
passed
peaceably
into
the
Countrey
,
without
the
sight
onely
of
an
enemy
:
himselfe
with
fiue
thousand
of
the
best
men
,
accompanied
with
diuers
of
the
principal
lest
,
was
a
kinde
of
vauntguard
to
the
rest
,
which
followed
with
Ferrat
Can
,
Zulphir
Can
,
and
Oliuer
di-Can
,
which
marched
softly
.
The
king
by
that
meanes
,
was
farre
aduanced
;
and
being
almost
assured
in
himselfe
,
that
through
the
celerity
of
his
comming
,
he
should
find
yet
no
enemy
sufficiently
able
to
resist
him
,
&
more
confidently
,
by
the
perswasion
of
Ferrat
Can
:
some
sixe
hundred
horse
,
vnder
the
leading
of
Vseph-Aga
(
which
were
sent
to
discouer
before
the
kings
troope
)
fell
vpon
fifty
thousand
of
the
enemy
;
vpon
which
sight
he
would
faine
haue
retired
:
but
being
so
farre
ingaged
,
that
he
could
not
,
and
vnable
to
resist
so
great
a
force
,
with
the
losse
of
almost
all
his
company
,
he
was
beaten
back
to
the
Kings
grosse
:
who
by
the
dust
rising
a
farre
off
,
and
the
great
noyse
following
,
imagining
what
it
was
indeed
,
with
a
great
&
ready
courage
prouided
himselfe
ready
to
fight
,
and
dispatched
Messenger
vpon
Messenger
,
to
command
Ferrat
Can
to
aduance
vnto
him
.
To
the
first
Ferrat
answered
,
that
it
was
but
a
troope
of
some
few
rascals
,
and
desired
the
king
to
march
on
,
and
not
trouble
himselfe
nor
his
Army
,
and
to
diuers
the
like
.
At
the
last
,
when
yong
Hassan-Can
came
from
the
king
,
and
told
him
the
kings
danger
,
and
that
certainely
the
whole
force
of
the
enemy
had
charged
him
;
he
began
to
shew
feare
,
&
to
call
a
Councell
of
the
Commanders
,
then
to
know
what
they
were
best
to
resolue
of
,
for
the
sauing
of
the
Army
,
since
the
king
had
so
rashly
lost
himselfe
.
Which
when
Oliuer
di-Can
heard
,
vpbraiding
him
of
treason
,
called
vpon
all
those
which
loued
the
king
to
follow
him
;
and
putting
spurs
to
his
horse
,
being
followed
by
Courtchibassa
,
&
most
of
the
kings
Guard
,
&
many
other
,
with
all
possible
haste
,
speeded
to
the
king
;
who
,
by
this
time
,
was
forced
to
sustaine
,
and
retire
,
as
well
as
he
could
,
without
disorder
,
or
shew
of
feare
.
But
when
this
Troope
,
of
Oliuer
di-Can
was
seene
,
his
men
receiued
new
courage
;
and
the
enemy
,
which
depended
more
vpon
Ferrats
treason
,
then
their
owne
valour
,
began
to
be
exceeding
amazed
,
doubting
that
it
had
bin
the
whole
Army
,
and
that
Ferrat
had
exchanged
his
treason
from
his
Maister
to
them
:
Wherefore
slacking
their
first
fury
,
and
rather
standing
at
a
gaze
,
then
fighting
,
the
king
commanded
Vseph-Aga
to
charge
them
throughly
afresh
,
and
not
to
giue
them
time
to
take
new
courage
:
which
hee
did
,
with
so
good
fortune
,
that
lighting
vpon
the
vsurper
of
Corasan
,
and
his
sonne
,
hee
slue
them
both
with
his
owne
handes
;
from
which
grew
the
first
maine
flight
of
the
enemy
,
and
the
beginning
of
the
victory
for
the
king
.
The
chase
was
desperatly
followed
,
so
that
in
that
battell
,
&
the
chase
were
slain
30000
men
,
with
the
vsurper
king
and
his
son
;
and
diuers
of
the
principall
of
the
country
taken
.
That
night
the
king
pitched
his
Tents
in
the
place
of
the
battell
;
and
being
informed
,
by
Oliuer
di-Can
,
and
the
whole
army
,
which
cried
out
,
with
open
mouth
,
of
Ferrats
treason
,
tempering
the
outward
shew
of
his
indignation
with
a
compassionat
feeling
of
mans
errours
,
and
frailty
;
excused
the
constraint
,
and
necessity
,
of
the
iustice
which
he
was
forced
to
do
:
protesting
,
that
though
for
his
states
,
and
owne
preseruation
he
was
at
last
compelled
to
giue
his
iustice
place
,
aboue
the
power
of
his
loue
,
and
obligation
:
yet
what
the
father
had
rent
from
himselfe
,
by
the
violence
of
his
owne
misdeeds
;
his
sonne
should
find
ripened
for
him
,
who
should
bee
heire
of
what
his
father
had
well
merited
by
his
former
seruices
,
as
he
hoped
he
would
be
of
his
vertue
;
praying
God
,
that
his
fathers
vices
,
onely
,
might
die
with
himselfe
.
Which
when
he
had
said
,
he
gaue
Oliuer
Di-Can
the
Generalship
of
his
Army
,
and
appointed
him
to
do
execution
vpon
Ferrat
,
who
being
resolued
of
that
iudgement
,
which
his
double
offence
had
brought
vpon
him
,
attended
ready
in
his
Tent
,
without
feare
,
to
die
,
or
desire
to
liue
;
and
there
receiued
that
punishment
,
which
was
vnworthy
of
his
excellent
parts
,
if
hee
had
made
that
true
vse
of
them
which
he
should
.
Zulpher
Can
,
his
brother
,
knowing
that
he
had
as
highly
and
as
much
offended
as
his
brother
had
,
yet
wanting
the
same
courage
to
receiue
the
iudgement
,
which
he
had
to
offend
,
fled
to
the
port
of
the
Kings
Tent
,
and
there
prostrated
himselfe
on
the
ground
;
whence
being
called
by
Oliuer
Di-Can
,
he
denyed
to
die
any
where
,
but
there
;
that
the
King
when
hee
should
come
forth
,
might
tread
vpon
that
bloud
,
which
had
so
vilely
,
and
vndeseruedly
offended
him
:
which
being
brought
to
the
King
,
by
a
Page
that
wished
well
to
Zulpher
,
and
had
some
good
hope
of
the
Kings
nature
,
that
hee
might
doe
the
poore
Prince
some
good
;
after
a
little
pause
,
the
King
came
forth
,
and
beholding
Zulpher
lying
grouelling
on
the
ground
,
pittied
him
,
and
despising
,
withall
,
his
little
valour
:
Behold
,
said
he
,
to
those
which
stood
by
,
how
weake
a
foundation
reputation
hath
,
which
is
not
erected
from
a
mans
owne
vertue
.
This
man
was
so
great
yesterday
,
that
you
all
honored
him
,
and
now
lyeth
despised
before
you
all
,
through
his
owne
wickednesse
.
He
hath
bene
aduanced
by
me
,
for
his
brothers
vertues
,
and
with
the
death
of
his
brother
,
he
doth
shew
you
all
,
that
no
worthinesse
of
his
owne
,
but
that
which
abounded
in
his
brother
,
if
hee
could
haue
made
good
vse
of
it
,
gaue
him
courage
also
to
seeme
capable
of
those
honours
which
I
bestowed
on
him
.
Zulpher
,
God
forgiueth
mee
as
great
sinnes
hourely
,
which
I
commit
against
him
,
as
thy
fault
can
be
to
me
:
and
since
it
hath
pleased
him
,
that
I
hold
so
great
a
place
by
him
here
,
I
will
also
vse
the
example
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
,
for
the
patterne
of
this
mercy
,
and
referre
my
vengeance
to
him
,
and
giue
thee
time
to
repent
;
and
the
rather
,
because
thy
abiectnesse
taketh
all
apprehension
from
me
of
cause
to
doubt
thee
:
Hee
neuer
dareth
hurt
a
King
,
which
feareth
to
die
.
And
remember
that
this
is
the
first
day
of
thy
life
,
in
which
thou
must
take
more
vertuous
waies
,
then
thou
hast
hitherto
walked
in
,
that
I
may
haue
honour
by
the
mercy
which
I
haue
shewed
thee
,
and
profite
by
thy
good
seruices
;
and
thy selfe
,
maist
cast
away
farre
from
thee
,
by
honest
and
good
deedes
,
the
shamefull
memory
which
men
will
haue
of
thy
past
wicked
Treason
.
This
was
the
end
of
that
great
and
foule
conspiracy
,
which
gaue
great
hope
to
the
Kings
enemies
;
and
ending
by
such
a
prouidence
,
was
the
meanes
of
the
Kings
greater
and
better
security
,
which
could
neuer
haue
bene
perfect
so
long
as
so
great
a
man
had
liued
,
both
hauing
cause
to
feare
,
&
by
that
giuing
continuall
cause
to
be
feared
.
Next
day
,
the
King
marched
farther
into
the
Countrey
,
and
so
daily
aduanced
on
without
obstacle
;
the
keyes
of
all
their
Townes
meeting
him
by
the
way
;
and
at
the
last
,
an
Embassage
from
the
whole
state
,
with
a
generall
submission
:
which
when
hee
had
receiued
,
hauing
spent
some
time
,
in
the
setling
of
such
a
gouernement
as
was
securest
for
himselfe
,
and
hauing
receiued
the
yong
Prince
,
sonne
to
the
first
King
,
and
diuers
others
of
the
principall
of
the
Countrey
,
hauing
left
order
with
Xa-Endibeague
,
whom
hee
left
there
with
the
best
part
of
his
Army
,
which
he
increased
afterwards
to
30000
men
,
to
extirpate
all
those
which
were
likeliest
,
either
through
their
obligation
to
the
vsurper
,
or
through
their
owne
particular
interest
,
to
make
innouation
,
he
returned
with
that
yong
Prince
,
and
those
prisoners
into
Persia.
The
most
part
of
this
time
I
was
at
Casbin
,
courteously
vsed
by
Marganobeague
,
the
Maister
of
the
Kings
house
,
and
not
amisse
by
any
.
When
the
King
was
come
within
sixe
miles
of
Casbin
,
he
stayed
there
,
some
three
dayes
,
to
the
entent
to
make
his
entry
with
such
an
estimation
of
his
victory
,
Anthony
Sherleis
first
salutation
,
and
speech
to
the
●ing
.
When
we
came
to
the
King
,
we
alighted
,
and
kissed
his
Stirrop
:
my
speech
was
short
vnto
him
;
the
time
being
fit
for
no
other
:
That
the
fame
of
his
Royall
vertues
,
had
brought
me
from
a
farre
Countrey
,
to
be
a
present
spectator
of
them
;
as
I
had
beene
a
wonderer
at
the
report
of
them
a
farre
off
:
if
there
were
any
thing
of
worth
in
mee
,
I
presented
it
with
my selfe
,
to
his
Maiesties
seruice
.
Of
what
I
was
,
I
submitted
the
consideration
to
his
Maiesties
iudgement
;
which
he
should
make
vpon
the
length
,
the
danger
,
and
the
expence
of
my
voyage
,
onely
to
see
him
,
of
whom
I
had
receiued
such
magnificent
and
glorious
relations
.
Oliuer
Di-Can
his
Generall
,
and
commanded
them
to
take
my
brother
and
me
betwixt
them
;
and
my
company
was
disposed
by
Marganobeague
,
amongst
the
rest
of
the
Kings
Gentlemen
of
his
Court
:
and
in
that
order
,
the
King
entred
Casbin
,
and
passing
to
the
great
place
,
he
alighted
with
the
cheifest
of
his
Princes
&
Officers
,
whom
he
caused
to
bring
vs
with
them
,
&
went
into
a
kind
of
banquetting
house
,
in
which
there
were
staires
to
ascend
by
into
a
Tarras
,
where
the
King
sate
down
,
&
the
greatest
of
those
Princes
,
&
we
among
them
.
This
Tarras
looked
vpon
the
place
,
where
after
we
had
ben
a
litle
,
&
beheld
some
of
the
Court
exercising
themselues
at
giuoco-di-canna
,
that
great
troupe
was
suddenly
vanished
,
so
without
all
sort
of
rumor
,
that
it
bred
infinite
wonder
in
me
,
considering
how
much
tumulte
we
made
in
these
parts
in
the
disposing
of
a
far
lesse
company
.
Whilst
we
sate
there
,
the
King
called
me
againe
vnto
him
;
&
when
I
had
confirmed
in
more
words
,
the
very
same
I
had
before
said
vnto
him
:
Then
,
said
he
,
you
must
haue
the
proofe
of
time
to
shew
you
,
either
the
errors
,
or
the
truth
of
these
rumours
,
since
you
can
make
no
iudgement
of
what
you
haue
yet
seene
,
which
is
but
the
person
of
a
man
,
and
this
eminence
which
God
hath
giuen
me
,
for
any
thing
you
know
,
may
be
more
through
my
fortune
,
than
my
vertue
.
But
since
your
pains
&
trauel
hath
had
no
other
aspect
,
but
to
know
me
,
we
must
haue
a
more
intrinsicke
acquaintance
to
perfect
that
knowledge
;
&
how
you
wil
indure
the
fashions
of
my
country
,
you
can
iudge
best
your selfe
which
are
maister
of
your
owne
humor
:
This
I
will
assure
you
of
,
you
shal
want
no
respect
from
my
people
,
nor
honor
from
my selfe
;
&
therwith
bid
me
fare-wel
,
for
that
present
,
comitting
me
&
my
company
to
Bastan-Aga
to
be
conducted
to
my
lodging
.
Next
morning
I
sent
the
King
a
present
,
Anthony
Sherleis
present
to
the
King
of
Persia
of
sixe
paire
of
Pendants
of
exceeding
faire
Emerauldes
,
and
meruailous
artificially
cut
;
and
two
other
Iewels
of
Topasses
,
excellent
well
cut
also
;
one
cup
of
three
peeces
,
set
together
with
gold
inameled
;
the
other
a
Salte
,
and
a
very
faire
Ewer
of
Christall
,
couered
with
a
kind
of
cutworke
of
siluer
and
gilt
,
the
shape
of
a
Dragon
;
(
all
which
,
I
had
of
that
Noble
Florentine
)
which
his
Maiesty
accepted
very
graciously
:
and
that
night
,
I
was
,
with
my
brother
,
inuited
by
him
to
a
banquet
,
where
there
was
onely
Byraicke
Myrza
,
and
Sultan
Alye
,
with
Xa-Tamas-Coolibeague
,
his
cheife
Minion
;
there
he
had
diuers
discourses
with
mee
,
not
of
our
apparell
,
building
,
beauty
of
our
woemen
,
or
such
vanities
;
but
of
our
proceeding
in
our
warres
,
of
our
vsuall
Armes
,
of
the
commodity
and
discommodity
of
Fortresses
,
of
the
vse
of
Artillary
,
and
of
the
orders
of
our
gouernement
:
in
which
,
though
my
vnskilfulnesse
were
such
,
that
I
knew
my
errours
were
greater
then
my
iudgement
;
yet
I
had
that
felicity
of
a
good
time
,
that
I
gaue
him
good
satisfaction
,
as
it
seemed
.
For
in
my
discourse
,
hauing
mentioned
the
hauing
of
certaine
Models
of
Fortification
in
some
bookes
at
my
lodging
,
which
were
onely
left
me
in
the
spoile
which
was
made
of
me
at
Babylon
:
Next
day
,
after
dinner
,
he
came
thither
,
with
all
the
principallest
of
the
Court
,
where
hee
spent
,
at
least
,
three
howers
in
perusing
them
,
and
not
vnproperly
speaking
of
the
reasons
of
those
things
himselfe
.
Next
night
hee
sent
for
mee
againe
,
into
a
place
which
they
call
Bazar
,
like
our
Burze
;
the
shops
,
and
the
roofe
of
which
were
so
full
of
lights
,
that
it
seemed
all
of
a
fire
.
There
was
a
litle
Scaffold
made
where
he
sate
,
and
as
euery
man
presented
him
with
diuers
sorts
of
friuts
,
so
hee
parted
them
some
to
one
,
some
to
another
,
and
there
hee
continued
some
foure
howers
;
in
which
time
,
hee
tooke
mee
aside
,
with
my
Interpreter
,
and
asked
mee
,
very
sadly
,
whether
I
would
content
my selfe
to
stay
with
him
;
not
for
euer
,
for
that
were
too
a
great
wrong
to
my
friends
,
who
should
loose
mee
from
their
comfort
,
being
diuided
so
farre
from
them
;
for
my
owne
fortune
hee
would
not
speake
of
,
but
onely
thus
much
;
since
I
had
told
him
I
was
a
subiect
to
a
Prince
,
he
knew
,
that
then
my
fortune
also
must
depend
vpon
the
will
and
fauour
of
that
Prince
;
and
hee
assured
himselfe
,
that
he
was
as
able
,
and
more
desirous
to
do
me
good
then
any
:
therefore
if
I
would
resolue
to
giue
him
that
litle
satisfaction
;
he
should
perswade
himselfe
the
more
confidently
,
that
the
cause
of
my
comming
was
such
,
as
I
told
him
,
the
loue
of
his
person
and
nothing
else
.
I
answered
him
,
I
could
say
no
more
to
his
Maiesty
then
I
had
already
done
;
that
a
report
,
onely
,
of
his
excellent
vertues
,
had
brought
mee
thither
,
that
a
better
experience
had
bound
me
so
fast
to
him
and
them
,
that
as
he
was
Maister
of
my
minde
,
so
hee
should
bee
of
my
person
and
time
,
which
were
both
subiect
to
his
command
.
For
those
things
of
fortune
,
they
were
the
least
things
that
I
regarded
,
as
his
Maiesty
well
saw
by
my
great
expence
thither
,
onely
to
satisfie
my
sight
:
but
as
I
knew
my selfe
infinitely
honoured
by
his
Maiestie
vouchsafing
to
serue
himselfe
of
mee
;
so
that
was
to
me
aboue
all
other
fortunes
and
satisfactions
.
His
Maiesty
seemed
wonderfully
well
content
with
my
answere
;
and
that
night
began
to
shew
me
extra-ordinary
publicke
fauour
,
and
so
continued
all
the
time
of
his
being
in
Casbin
,
daily
increasing
by
some
or
other
great
demonstration
.
Sixe
weekes
hee
stayed
there
,
giuing
his
accustomed
audience
to
the
people
;
In
which
time
I
saw
the
notablest
example
of
true
vnpartiall
royall
iustice
,
that
I
thinke
any
Prince
in
the
world
could
produce
.
The
Gouerner
of
Casbin
was
appointed
to
that
administration
,
The
Gouernour
denied
some
,
maintained
other
to
bee
done
vpon
iust
causes
:
but
all
so
confusedly
,
and
with
so
vnstable
a
fashion
of
proceeding
,
as
hee
bewrayed
his
owne
guiltinesse
:
notwithstanding
the
king
stayed
his
iudgement
,
either
of
him
or
the
causes
,
vntill
another
day
of
hearing
.
In
the
meane
time
hee
appoynted
Marganobeague
,
Bastan-Aga
,
and
one
Maxausebeague
;
(
which
is
,
as
it
were
,
Treasurer
of
his
house
)
to
take
some
secret
wayes
to
finde
the
true
carriage
of
the
Gouernour
,
during
the
whole
time
of
his
function
;
Which
they
did
with
great
vprightnesse
and
dexterity
.
And
hauing
related
what
they
had
approuedly
found
,
there
were
so
many
,
and
so
great
causes
brought
against
him
,
I
meane
of
wresting
of
Money
,
bribery
,
monopolizing
,
and
such
things
,
as
more
could
not
bee
imagined
:
which
had
beene
small
matters
in
a
Princes
state
,
whose
fauours
and
graces
are
priuiledged
aboue
the
common
good
of
the
people
;
and
who
change
by
their
owne
conniuence
,
their
Royall
estate
to
a
tyranny
of
fauourites
,
and
a
few
Counsellors
:
who
concurring
in
the
spoyle
of
the
people
,
concurre
also
in
so
cruell
a
suppression
of
their
iust
cryes
,
that
their
lifting
vp
their
voyces
,
for
Iustice
,
is
as
great
a
sinne
,
as
almost
a
perfect
Rebellion
:
and
the
same
Iustice
,
which
should
protect
them
against
inique
oppression
,
inflicteth
seuere
chastisement
;
onely
for
presuming
to
palesate
such
oppressions
:
A
miserable
calamitie
for
the
poore
flocke
,
where
the
Sheepheards
heareth
the
wooll
,
and
the
Brambles
rent
the
flesh
.
But
this
King
(
whom
wee
call
barbarous
,
though
from
his
example
wee
may
learne
many
great
and
good
things
)
knowing
that
the
true
care
of
a
Prince
,
must
bee
euer
the
publique
good
;
and
the
capablenesse
of
his
ruling
,
would
bee
iudged
by
his
true
Iustice
,
and
election
of
his
Ministers
,
and
distribution
of
his
fauour
vpon
the
worthiest
(
which
also
should
make
a
worthy
vse
of
it
)
The
next
day
that
hee
sate
in
iudgement
,
hee
called
the
Gouernour
:
then
hauing
told
him
that
hee
which
had
liued
with
him
in
the
time
of
his
greatest
calamity
,
must
needes
bee
so
well
acquainted
with
the
inwardnesse
of
his
disposition
,
that
all
the
world
would
imagine
,
as
Princes
euer
are
examples
of
good
or
euill
to
their
subiects
;
so
they
are
most
to
those
which
are
neereliest
conuersant
with
them
.
And
according
to
that
opinion
,
hee
had
giuen
him
his
authority
,
for
the
great
fauour
and
confidence
hee
reposed
in
him
,
that
hee
knew
well
the
errour
which
they
had
both
committed
,
the
one
not
making
a
true
iudgement
of
the
others
disposition
.
That
the
transgression
of
Lawes
,
and
Orders
in
any
State
,
was
the
first
naturall
corruption
which
grew
in
it
:
to
prouide
for
which
,
good
Princes
did
both
watchfully
industriate
themselues
,
and
dispersed
part
of
the
care
,
which
grew
too
great
for
themselues
,
to
the
trust
they
had
in
the
vertue
of
their
Ministers
,
who
should
euer
,
as
the
very
greatest
and
truest
causes
,
beware
of
those
courses
of
Iustice
,
which
should
bee
of
least
terrour
,
and
procure
themselues
and
their
Princes
most
hatred
,
which
was
to
pill
the
subiects
goods
:
a
thing
of
no
example
,
but
to
euill
,
and
of
infinite
odiousnesse
,
especially
when
there
was
no
iust
cause
why
any
sort
of
punishment
should
bee
inflicted
.
And
because
these
acts
,
of
so
great
a
Minister
,
as
hee
was
,
both
for
the
place
hee
held
of
authority
,
and
fauour
with
him
;
might
giue
the
world
cause
to
suspect
his
owne
inclination
;
the
which
since
no
former
example
could
make
him
knowe
,
hee
would
now
shew
the
world
,
and
teach
him
,
that
the
wickednesse
of
Princes
,
and
great
Men
,
are
worse
in
the
example
,
then
in
the
fault
;
since
,
by
the
euill
custome
of
the
world
to
follow
them
,
they
generate
great
corruptions
by
the
imitation
of
others
.
And
because
in
a
man
of
his
place
,
there
could
bee
no
more
wicked
acts
then
hee
had
committed
;
nor
,
in
a
Prince
,
nothing
more
proportionable
with
his
place
,
nor
fitter
for
his
security
,
then
the
chastisement
of
such
wicked
acts
;
And
if
hee
should
pardon
so
great
extortions
,
and
scelerate
wronges
as
hee
had
inflicted
vpon
the
poore
people
,
committed
to
his
charge
,
besides
,
that
hee
should
verifie
the
worst
suspicions
men
might
haue
of
him
,
he
should
,
by
so
ill
a
president
,
trouble
the
mindes
of
his
whole
state
,
cast
many
good
men
,
and
their
goods
,
into
ruine
;
multiply
the
like
,
or
worse
scandals
,
oppressing
the
causes
of
Iustice
;
and
so
draw
into
the
world
,
without
shame
or
feare
,
all
sort
of
excesses
:
this
should
bee
his
iudgement
;
This
Iudgement
strooke
a
mighty
amazement
into
all
the
great
men
present
,
and
gaue
an
infinite
ioy
and
comfort
to
the
people
.
The
Turkes
Embassadour
,
which
was
there
,
after
he
had
stood
silent
a
great
while
,
as
a
man
halfe
distracted
,
sware
publikely
,
that
hee
saw
before
his
eyes
,
his
maisters
ruine
:
being
impossible
that
such
fortune
and
vertue
,
as
the
king
was
accompanied
with
,
could
receiue
any
obstacle
.
That
night
hee
made
Marganobeagus
Gouernour
of
Casbin
,
beeing
well
admonished
by
that
great
example
of
his
duty
.
Constantino
,
a
braue
yong
Gentleman
,
being
a
Christian
of
Georgia
,
hee
called
Mirza
,
and
gaue
him
the
gouernement
of
Hisphaan
;
and
mee
also
hee
called
Mirza
:
Anthony
made
a
Mirza
.
telling
mee
,
that
hee
would
prouide
condignely
for
mee
.
And
because
hee
had
an
vrgent
occasion
to
goe
post
to
Cassan
,
I
should
receiue
his
pleasure
by
Marganobeague
;
who
brought
mee
,
the
next
morning
,
a
thousand
Tomanas
,
All
this
while
I
moued
nothing
to
the
King
of
that
which
was
the
maine
purpose
of
my
comming
,
both
because
I
had
no
fit
opportunity
;
and
if
I
had
,
yet
it
was
too
soone
:
and
besides
,
it
was
too
great
a
businesse
to
expose
,
without
such
an
occasion
as
might
helpe
my
good
intention
,
with
the
goodnesse
of
it selfe
.
Moreouer
,
though
I
knew
little
;
yet
so
much
I
knew
,
that
in
handling
with
Princes
especiall
affaires
,
of
such
momentuall
importance
,
I
ought
not
so
much
to
repose
my selfe
vpon
the
good
,
and
iust
property
of
my
proposition
,
as
in
the
direct
knowledge
of
the
nature
of
the
Prince
;
who
either
might
grow
iealous
of
the
hazard
,
or
hauing
his
ambitions
turned
to
other
ends
,
might
mistake
,
or
not
regard
my
aduertisements
.
Both
which
would
haue
beene
the
ruine
of
what
I
intended
:
A
businesse
hardly
rising
againe
,
and
recouering
grace
,
which
hath
beene
once
foiled
.
Therefore
I
tooke
time
to
deeme
by
the
proceeding
of
other
deliberations
,
of
the
way
which
I
should
take
;
and
to
make
my selfe
learned
in
the
purpose
of
his
actions
,
by
his
nature
,
and
inclination
;
besides
,
not
onely
to
get
,
first
a
kinde
of
possession
in
his
owne
affection
,
but
of
all
his
great
men
;
especially
of
those
whom
I
did
imagine
would
bee
best
and
strongest
assisters
of
my
purpose
:
which
I
did
iudge
to
bee
Oliuer
di-Can
,
his
Generall
,
and
Xa-Tamas
Coolibeague
,
both
which
were
Georgians
;
and
though
they
were
made
Mahometans
by
the
father
of
the
King
,
to
whom
they
were
brought
young
,
yet
they
had
euer
Christians
hearts
,
and
infinitely
well-inclined
to
all
those
things
which
might
promoue
the
Christians
enterprizes
,
publiquely
wishing
well
to
their
proceedings
,
and
taking
all
offered
occasions
,
to
giue
them
honour
and
reputation
.
Then
Constantino
Mirza
,
who
was
a
Christian
,
and
in
great
fauour
with
the
King
:
Yet
for
all
this
,
that
I
meant
to
make
those
the
maine
helpers
of
my
designe
,
I
left
no
sort
of
fashion
forgotten
which
might
procure
mee
fauour
from
all
the
other
:
though
I
soone
found
their
appearances
answered
not
with
their
mindes
,
which
were
onely
contained
from
ill
demonstrations
against
mee
,
by
the
Kings
fauour
to
mee
,
and
their
feare
of
offending
him
;
not
onely
through
the
ordinary
enuy
which
followeth
all
Courts
,
but
by
the
great
hatred
which
they
had
to
the
very
name
of
a
Christian
,
beeing
in
their
soules
Turkes
:
though
not
daring
to
palesate
it
for
their
owne
certaine
danger
.
For
the
king
knowing
how
potent
a
vniter
of
mens
mindes
the
selfe-same
Religion
is
for
the
tranquility
of
an
Estate
:
and
the
like
dis-vniter
seuerall
Religions
are
for
the
disturbance
of
the
peace
of
an
Estate
,
hee
is
exceeding
curious
and
vigilant
to
suppresse
,
through
all
his
Dominions
,
that
Religion
of
Mahomet
,
which
followeth
the
interpretation
of
Vssen
and
Omar
,
and
to
make
his
people
cleaue
to
that
of
Aly
:
Not
(
as
I
iudge
)
through
any
Conscience
,
which
carrieth
him
more
to
the
one
then
the
other
;
but
first
to
extirpate
intrinsicke
factions
,
then
to
secure
himselfe
the
more
firmely
against
the
Turke
,
who
beeing
head
of
that
part
which
followeth
Omar
and
Vssen
,
should
haue
too
powerfull
a
way
into
his
Countrey
,
if
his
peoples
hearts
were
inclined
vnto
him
by
the
force
of
Religion
.
Therefore
hee
doth
not
onely
striue
to
roote
it
out
,
but
to
defile
it
,
and
make
it
odious
;
hauing
in
vse
,
once
a
yeare
,
with
great
solemnity
,
to
burne
publiquely
,
as
maine
Heretiques
,
the
Images
of
Vssen
and
Omar
:
then
doth
hee
cause
his
great
men
publiquely
(
in
scorne
of
their
institution
)
to
goe
with
a
Flagon
of
Wine
,
carryed
by
a
Foote-man
,
and
at
euery
Village
,
or
where
they
see
any
Assembly
of
people
,
to
drinke
;
which
himselfe
also
vseth
,
not
for
the
loue
of
the
Wine
,
but
to
scandalize
so
much
more
the
contrary
Religion
:
that
by
such
a
kinde
of
prophaning
of
it
,
they
may
weare
the
respect
of
it
out
of
the
peoples
heartes
:
Which
when
it
fayleth
with
reuerence
in
Religion
,
the
pillers
thereof
are
vtterly
broken
.
Yet
(
as
I
say
)
there
are
of
the
very
greatest
,
exceeding
precise
Turkes
,
if
they
durst
do
other
for
their
owne
fortune
sake
,
then
couer
,
with
all
artifice
,
that
infection
.
Ten
dayes
I
was
betweene
Casbin
and
Cassan
,
where
arriued
,
I
receiued
more
gracious
demonstrations
from
the
King
,
then
I
could
hope
for
,
or
wish
:
beeing
farre
beyond
my
present
merit
,
and
my
iudgement
how
to
deserue
it
at
all
.
Foure
dayes
his
Maiestie
stayed
there
,
after
my
comming
;
in
which
time
there
passed
many
Triumphes
at
giuoco-di-canna
in
the
day
,
&
good
fire-works
in
the
night
:
at
which
I
was
euer
present
with
himselfe
,
with
no
lesse
respect
,
then
if
I
had
been
his
brother
,
as
he
also
called
me
,
and
continued
that
name
afterward
,
all
the
time
of
my
being
in
Persia.
The
second
day
of
his
Iourney
,
from
thence
,
towardes
Hisphaan
,
hee
called
mee
vnto
him
,
my
Brother
and
my
Interpreter
;
and
(
after
some
few
discourses
)
hee
began
to
tell
vs
the
whole
history
of
those
his
fortunes
which
I
haue
discoursed
:
and
ioyned
that
hee
vnderstood
,
the
Turke
had
sent
him
a
faire
sword
(
hee
did
beleeue
)
to
cut
off
his
head
withall
,
if
Ferrat
Cans
treason
had
well
succeeded
:
for
after
the
Messenger
arriued
at
Tauris
,
vnderstanding
how
God
his
great
prouidence
,
had
not
onely
mightely
preserued
,
but
giuen
him
that
famous
victory
ouer
his
enemies
,
he
had
sent
for
new
order
to
Constantinople
,
which
came
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
call
him
back
againe
.
But
the
best
was
,
the
more
the
Prince
hated
him
,
the
more
his
subiects
loued
him
,
hauing
receiued
newes
at
Cassan
,
of
ten
thousand
soules
of
Courdins
which
had
abandoned
their
possessions
vnder
the
Turke
,
and
required
some
waste
land
of
him
to
inhabit
in
;
which
he
had
giuen
them
.
And
though
this
discourse
opened
somewhat
largely
the
Kings
heart
vnto
mee
,
I
durst
bee
no
bolder
,
at
that
time
,
then
to
say
,
It
was
euer
,
almost
impossible
to
preserue
a
quyet
amity
betweene
two
so
great
Potentates
,
as
himselfe
,
and
the
Turke
;
especially
beeing
so
neere
neighbours
:
that
I
doubted
not
,
but
his
Maiesty
,
in
his
great
wisedome
,
prouided
his
Counsell
and
strength
alwayes
ready
against
any
danger
which
might
grow
from
him
,
of
which
there
was
no
present
doubt
,
as
long
as
hee
was
so
powerfully
diuerted
by
the
warres
of
Hungary
;
which
if
they
were
ended
,
I
saw
no
Obligation
of
faith
,
or
any
thing
else
,
which
could
secure
his
Maiesty
from
those
Armes
,
which
had
beene
euer
so
ready
against
his
State
,
in
all
occasions
;
especially
now
that
his
Maiesties
vertue
,
and
fortune
ministred
to
the
Turkes
will
too
great
maine
causes
;
First
to
stop
the
course
of
his
too
fast
rising
greatnesse
,
which
hee
could
by
no
reason
willingly
suffer
;
Then
to
recouer
his
reputation
,
which
his
Maiesty
had
taken
from
him
,
by
assubiecting
the
Tartars
,
which
were
vnder
his
protection
.
And
if
with
both
these
hee
saw
his
subiects
also
fall
from
him
to
his
Maiesty
,
in
so
great
troopes
,
it
might
bee
a
mighty
effectuall
working-reason
to
hasten
him
to
a
conclusion
,
vpon
indifferent
tearmes
of
those
warres
in
Hungary
;
his
Maiesty
being
much
more
dangerous
vnto
him
,
not
onely
through
his
power
,
the
reputation
of
his
late
victories
,
and
such
a
floud
of
fortune
,
ioyned
to
his
great
vertue
and
wisdome
,
but
also
by
the
symbolizing
of
religion
,
which
would
more
facilitate
an
entry
into
his
state
,
then
the
sword
,
when
there
should
grow
no
more
mutation
in
the
maine
points
of
gouernement
,
lawes
,
nor
orders
,
but
the
person
of
the
Prince
onely
.
The
obstinate
warres
,
and
resistances
of
the
progresse
of
the
one
and
the
other
,
betweene
the
Turkes
and
the
Christians
,
grew
from
the
maine
alterations
of
all
Lawes
,
Orders
,
and
forme
of
gouernment
,
with
the
vtter
ruine
of
the
conquered
,
being
so
diuerse
in
all
those
;
and
more
in
the
principall
point
of
religion
,
by
which
he
was
euermore
assured
of
vs
,
generally
infestuous
to
the
very
apprehension
of
his
Subiects
.
But
his
Maiesty
,
from
whom
there
was
none
of
these
generall
dangers
,
was
,
questionlesse
,
the
more
perticularly
feared
by
him
:
And
euer
hee
that
is
feared
wrongeth
his
iudgement
,
if
hee
liue
into
great
and
carelesse
security
.
I
concluded
,
it
would
please
his
Maiesty
to
pardon
me
that
I
said
so
much
,
that
if
I
had
erred
,
it
was
in
my
iudgement
,
not
in
my
zealous
affection
vnto
him
;
neither
had
I
presumed
to
looke
into
such
high
matters
,
if
his
Maiesty
,
by
his
discourse
,
had
not
directed
my
sight
;
which
if
it
had
bene
amisse
,
his
Maiesties
benignity
and
great
wisedome
could
pardon
the
fault
,
for
the
true
affection
which
caused
it
.
He
answered
,
that
he
was
so
far
from
mis-liking
my
liberty
of
speech
that
he
thanked
me
for
it
,
desiring
me
to
continue
it
.
For
Princes
(
said
hee
)
are
,
indeed
more
then
men
,
when
they
find
faithfull
friends
which
will
freely
aduise
them
;
and
lesse
them
men
when
they
are
without
such
:
the
brightnesse
of
their
greatnesse
so
dimming
their
sight
,
that
they
haue
much
more
neede
of
helpe
,
then
priuate
men
;
who
being
conuersant
in
all
things
,
gather
experience
of
euery
thing
,
which
a
Prince
cannot
haue
;
Nature
,
onely
,
bringing
forth
a
man
,
his
perfection
following
by
his
owne
vertue
,
learning
and
experience
;
the
two
first
a
Prince
might
haue
,
the
last
hardly
,
and
euer
vnperfect
.
Which
made
him
euer
carefully
desire
such
,
friends
,
as
might
minister
a
faithfull
helpe
to
that
defect
;
but
because
we
are
now
in
iourney
we
shall
leaue
those
things
for
a
more
reposed
time
,
to
be
spoken
of
at
Hisphaan
,
where
we
shall
haue
leasure
enough
both
to
deliberate
and
resolue
of
some
good
things
;
and
with
that
called
some
other
,
who
entertained
him
with
discourses
of
Hunting
,
and
Hauking
,
in
which
he
is
much
delighted
,
and
vseth
them
with
great
magnificence
:
Neuer
going
to
any
of
those
sports
,
but
that
he
carrieth
forth
aboue
fiue
hundred
dogges
,
and
as
many
Hauks
,
nothing
rising
before
him
but
it
is
game
.
For
flies
he
hath
sparrowes
;
for
Birds
,
Hobbies
and
Marlins
;
for
the
greatest
sort
some
Hawke
or
other
;
and
for
Roe-deare
Eagles
;
hee
hath
particular
Agaes
for
his
Hawkes
and
Dogges
,
and
other
Officers
to
them
a
great
number
.
The
next
day
,
I
singled
out
Oliuer
Di-Can
,
with
whom
,
(
after
a
few
complements
)
I
communicated
the
Kings
discourse
with
me
,
of
his
first
troubles
,
and
latter
fortunes
;
extolling
his
Maiesty
as
it
was
fit
;
and
besides
,
giuing
the
greatest
honour
to
himselfe
,
without
flattery
,
that
I
could
deuise
;
then
I
told
him
of
my
answere
to
the
King
,
and
on
purpose
I
said
,
I
feared
,
that
it
might
turne
to
my
harme
,
being
newly
planted
in
the
Kings
fauour
,
subiect
to
the
enuy
of
the
Court
,
and
wanting
a
tongue
to
speake
for
my selfe
:
and
that
to
entermeddle
in
so
great
and
perrilous
matters
,
it
could
not
choose
but
awake
some
couered
malice
,
to
take
occasion
to
worke
me
some
damage
.
But
my
confidence
was
such
,
first
in
the
Heroycke
minde
of
the
King
himselfe
,
then
in
the
generous
disposition
of
his
excellency
,
that
I
should
bee
protected
from
perill
for
this
fault
,
as
I
would
preserue
my selfe
with
more
cautel
heereafter
.
Hee
answered
me
,
that
the
Kings
affection
vnto
me
was
such
,
that
no
man
durst
lift
vp
a
thought
against
me
:
which
the
Court
knew
well
.
For
himselfe
,
as
he
knew
not
the
conditions
of
our
Courts
,
so
I
might
mistake
those
of
theirs
:
if
enuy
bare
so
great
a
sway
with
vs
,
wee
had
lighter
Princes
,
and
men
of
more
presumption
.
In
this
Court
there
was
not
a
Gentleman
but
the
King
:
the
rest
were
shadowes
which
moued
with
his
body
.
But
in
this
which
I
had
said
to
the
King
,
if
I
had
entended
it
,
to
moue
him
to
warre
in
so
fit
a
time
against
the
Turke
,
I
had
done
well
;
and
assured
mee
that
both
he
,
and
Xa-Tamas-Coolibeague
would
with
all
their
powers
concurre
with
me
to
bring
it
to
an
essentiall
deliberation
;
though
,
said
he
,
there
be
three
dogges
,
Haldenbeague
,
Bastan-Aga
,
and
Courtchy
Bassa
,
that
will
mainely
oppose
themselues
against
it
:
yet
in
the
conscience
of
my
duty
,
which
I
owe
to
his
Maiesty
,
I
assure
my selfe
,
that
there
is
no
secure
way
,
either
for
the
preseruation
of
his
person
,
or
state
,
but
that
.
Therefore
since
you
haue
begunne
in
so
happy
an
houre
,
to
breake
the
Ice
of
so
great
and
so
good
an
enterprise
,
follow
it
without
feare
,
since
God
will
prosper
your
good
intention
in
it
,
and
we
will
second
you
,
with
all
the
strength
and
industry
which
wee
haue
.
This
was
all
which
I
desired
,
to
be
assured
of
some
friend
;
especially
such
a
one
,
as
might
haue
both
opinion
and
credite
of
wisedome
and
fauour
with
the
King
.
For
being
a
stranger
,
if
I
had
vndertaken
the
bearing
of
so
weighty
a
businesse
my selfe
alone
,
I
should
hardly
haue
escaped
the
being
ouer-weighed
with
it
,
knowing
that
the
best
propositions
haue
euer
oppositions
,
mens
humours
neuer
concurring
all
to
one
end
,
and
the
nature
of
men
being
alwaies
opposite
to
a
strangers
aduancement
:
Which
since
it
must
proceed
in
such
a
place
from
a
speciall
act
of
his
owne
vertue
,
which
could
neuer
be
produced
without
a
subiect
to
worke
by
,
the
next
way
to
wash
away
insensibly
such
a
growing
reputation
,
was
to
keep
me
from
any
other
meanes
of
establishment
,
then
bare
Fauor
,
which
as
it
is
very
transitory
in
priuate
men
,
so
is
it
much
more
in
Princes
;
the
volubility
of
whose
natures
maketh
them
easily
glutted
,
and
most
mutable
in
their
kinds
of
satisfaction
:
and
if
once
I
had
declined
in
the
height
of
my
fortune
,
I
knew
there
was
no
bayting
place
,
betweene
mediocrity
,
and
precipitation
:
so
dangerous
are
the
waies
of
Princes
,
and
all
men
so
foolish
to
striue
to
runne
in
them
.
The
Kings
entrance
into
Hisphaan
was
there
of
the
same
fashion
that
it
was
at
Cassan
;
differing
onely
in
this
,
that
for
some
two
English
miles
,
the
waies
were
couered
all
with
Veluet
,
Sattin
,
and
cloth
of
Gold
,
where
his
horse
should
passe
.
After
hee
had
bene
setled
there
foureteene
daies
,
remembring
what
Oliuer
Di-Can
had
said
vnto
me
,
I
determined
to
loose
no
more
time
,
but
to
try
the
vttermost
of
my
fortune
,
in
bringing
to
a
resolution
,
that
enterprise
;
the
imagination
of
which
,
had
cost
mee
so
much
time
,
and
so
much
danger
;
and
was
the
chiefe
mouing-cause
at
the
first
,
and
now
the
onely
mouing
cause
of
comming
thither
.
And
I
was
the
more
encouraged
to
do
it
by
the
fresh
memory
of
God
his
mighty
prouidence
ouer
me
past
,
and
by
the
exceeding
great
fauour
of
the
King
;
which
I
knew
to
be
his
great
worke
,
who
moueth
the
hearts
of
Princes
to
make
them
instruments
of
his
iudgements
,
which
by
all
apparant
demonstrations
,
I
conceiued
,
determined
against
the
Turke
:
Therefore
taking
the
opportunity
of
the
Kings
being
alone
with
me
and
my
brother
in
a
Garden
,
with
my
Interpreter
onely
and
Xa-Tamas-Coolibeague
,
I
spake
vnto
him
to
this
effect
;
Anthony
Sherleies
per●wasiue
to
the
Persian
,
to
●●ke
warre
against
the
Turke
.
That
my
affection
,
growne
onely
vpon
the
fame
of
his
Maiesty
,
had
guided
me
from
a
farre
Countrey
into
his
presence
;
by
which
I
found
his
royall
vertues
,
so
far
exceeding
the
relation
which
I
had
heard
,
that
as
I
did
admire
them
,
so
I
had
a
kind
of
forceable
mouing
in
my
nature
to
desire
condigne
fortunes
to
accompany
them
:
Besides
,
my
particular
obligation
to
his
Maiesty
was
so
great
,
that
I
was
bound
,
not
onely
,
to
say
what
I
thought
fit
for
his
seruice
;
but
to
do
as
much
,
as
my
life
might
accomplish
for
the
same
.
More-ouer
being
emboldned
by
his
royall
gracious
answer
vnto
me
vpon
the
way
,
(
which
I
did
take
for
a
kind
of
commandement
)
I
would
presume
to
say
some-thing
more
largely
then
I
did
then
,
of
that
which
I
tooke
to
concerne
his
Maiesty
,
as
much
as
any
thing
else
could
.
Neither
would
I
speake
any
thing
of
other
condition
,
then
such
,
as
he
in
his
great
iudgement
should
find
so
well
grounded
;
that
nothing
could
bee
added
,
either
to
the
iust
cause
,
honour
,
vtility
,
or
facility
of
the
enterprise
,
which
I
would
propose
.
And
because
I
would
cleare
all
clouds
,
which
might
hang
about
it
,
my selfe
which
propounded
it
,
was
such
,
that
I
was
onely
a
shadow
,
which
,
by
the
vrging
of
my
owne
nature
,
and
delight
,
should
follow
the
body
of
his
victories
,
rather
then
haue
,
or
hope
,
for
any
other
perticular
interest
in
them
my selfe
.
For
the
first
points
,
There
could
no
deliberation
bee
grounded
vpon
a
greater
foundation
of
equity
,
then
that
which
had
his
end
onely
directed
to
the
recouery
of
that
,
which
was
by
force
and
violence
vsurped
from
his
State
:
nor
nothing
more
honourable
for
a
Prince
then
to
bee
able
,
without
hazard
,
not
onely
to
reuenge
priuate
and
publicke
wrongs
;
but
to
recouer
their
members
againe
to
his
seates
,
by
his
wisedome
and
vertue
,
which
haue
bene
separate
either
by
the
defect
,
or
fortune
of
his
Predecessors
;
All
this
,
both
publicke
and
priuate
profite
,
followed
so
great
an
encrease
of
State
(
increasing
in
all
points
the
force
of
his
State
)
and
his
poore
Subiects
,
which
were
throwne
out
of
their
possessions
,
either
through
their
true
deuotion
to
his
Maiesty
,
which
could
giue
them
no
peace
vnder
another
gouernement
,
or
through
the
extreme
tyranny
of
the
Turke
,
should
be
recouered
againe
to
their
owne
,
with
his
infinite
glory
,
and
vtility
.
The
facility
shewed
it selfe
diuers
waies
;
principally
in
his
owne
fortune
,
wisedome
,
and
vertue
;
against
which
,
there
was
no
likely
resistance
,
especially
when
there
was
no
equall
obstacle
;
then
the
reputation
of
his
late
victories
,
ioyned
with
the
other
,
would
find
,
or
make
a
way
through
all
difficulties
;
then
his
Militia
which
was
fresh
and
vncorrupted
;
then
the
incapacity
of
the
Turke
,
his
corruptions
of
gouernment
,
want
of
obedience
,
sundry
rebellions
,
and
distractions
from
any
possibility
of
being
able
to
make
any
potent
resistance
against
his
Maiesties
proceedings
,
by
his
warres
in
Hungary
,
which
his
Maiesty
might
assure
the
continuance
of
;
if
it
pleased
him
to
inuite
the
Princes
Christian
to
his
amity
,
which
hee
should
offer
vpon
that
condition
:
by
which
also
,
hee
should
receiue
one
other
worthy
benefite
fit
for
such
excelling
parts
,
as
hee
was
most
richly
aboundant
in
,
not
to
conclude
the
true
knowledge
of
them
,
in
that
one
corner
of
the
world
:
but
with
making
these
great
Princes
knowne
vnto
himselfe
,
hee
should
make
his
owne
worthinesse
,
like-wise
,
knowne
vnto
them
.
Neither
,
(
as
I
said
at
the
first
to
his
Maiesty
)
though
these
were
great
points
to
moue
so
high
a
spirit
,
intending
to
glory
,
and
great
things
,
as
his
was
,
that
they
were
so
important
as
other
were
.
For
these
might
either
be
deferred
,
or
not
at
all
acted
,
being
bound
vnto
them
by
no
greater
necessity
then
his
owne
will
,
counselled
by
good
reason
.
But
his
case
was
such
,
that
hee
must
resolue
,
both
for
the
security
of
his
estate
and
person
,
to
make
or
endure
a
warre
.
As
I
was
proceeding
,
Haldenbeague
the
Viseire
,
Bastan-Aga
,
and
Oliuer
Di-Can
came
in
:
the
King
presently
called
them
,
and
told
them
what
I
was
propounding
vnto
him
;
vpon
which
,
the
Viseire
swelling
against
me
,
answered
instantly
.
Your
Maiesty
may
now
perceiue
that
true
which
some
of
your
seruants
haue
beene
bold
to
tell
you
,
Sinan
Bassa
was
a
great
name
;
So
was
Mustapha
;
and
so
was
Osman
;
and
so
hath
hee
many
now
;
so
that
his
state
doth
neither
stand
nor
decline
,
with
his
defects
,
as
long
as
hee
hath
worthy
men
to
maintaine
it
.
His
Countries
are
full
of
rebellion
;
These
are
Rumours
with
which
wise
men
are
neuer
moued
:
since
they
grow
by
reportes
,
and
diminish
by
experience
.
And
if
they
bee
true
,
let
him
consume
with
his
owne
malady
:
and
your
Maiesties
designes
,
(
whensoeuer
you
shall
resolue
of
them
)
will
passe
with
the
more
facility
.
How
dangerous
a
thing
it
is
to
embrace
diuers
and
continuall
action
,
your
Maiesties
greatest
wisedome
can
better
tell
you
then
I
;
your
Tartars
haue
but
newly
felt
the
offence
of
your
Armes
;
they
are
farre
from
being
well
tasted
,
or
at
all
secured
with
your
Maiesties
gouernement
:
Beginne
a
warre
with
the
Turke
,
(
in
which
must
bee
ingaged
the
vttermost
of
your
strength
)
what
other
opinion
is
to
be
had
of
them
,
but
that
,
like
old
enemies
,
and
freshly
more
then
euer
offended
they
will
rebell
,
and
infest
you
with
the
greatest
resolutions
that
extreme
enemies
can
?
And
againe
,
Where
is
your
Maiesties
treasure
?
where
is
your
munition
?
and
where
is
your
Artillery
:
all
which
must
bee
had
for
a
warre
;
and
though
your
fortune
,
and
the
nature
of
the
country
(
which
hath
no
strong
places
)
did
not
require
them
against
the
Tartars
,
yet
of
necessity
,
you
must
haue
them
against
the
Turke
,
who
hath
a
Fortresse
in
Tauris
,
Tifflis
and
Vannes
,
strong
places
;
and
neuer
moueth
his
Armies
,
but
full
of
Artillery
:
which
you
must
also
haue
,
if
you
meane
to
proceed
honourably
,
and
with
condigne
fortune
against
him
.
Moreouer
,
for
you
to
send
,
and
begge
an
Amity
of
the
Christian
Princes
,
what
a
sit
perswasion
is
it
for
your
Maiesties
greatnesse
?
which
notwithstanding
,
if
you
were
compelled
by
necessity
,
somewhat
from
your selfe
,
yet
necessity
would
make
it
tollerable
:
But
for
you
to
seeke
them
which
haue
need
of
you
,
there
is
so
litle
reason
,
that
he
hath
sinned
against
your
power
,
person
,
and
state
,
which
hath
propounded
it
.
Your
Maiesty
may
,
in
your
too
great
benignity
,
passe
ouer
your
iust
indignation
for
such
acouncell
:
but
we
know
what
it
meriteth
.
There
is
behinde
you
,
Lar
,
and
Ormus
,
the
one
a
kingdome
fomentated
as
a
bar
between
you
and
the
Portugals
:
and
the
other
,
which
is
vsurped
,
from
a
king
anciently
tributary
to
your
predecessors
.
Whilst
your
Maiesty
maketh
your selfe
ready
for
the
greater
,
begin
with
the
lesser
enterprise
.
Nothing
will
giue
you
more
honour
then
that
;
First
,
to
vindicate
those
places
,
in
which
your
religion
is
oppressed
;
and
by
that
,
iustifie
the
more
whatsoeuer
you
shal
enterprize
.
If
this
Christian
can
giue
you
these
;
if
he
can
giue
you
aboundance
of
all
other
wants
,
if
he
can
giue
you
Hostages
from
his
Kings
,
that
they
shall
not
in
Hungary
alone
,
but
in
other
places
also
,
fasten
vpon
that
huge
body
of
the
Turke
;
and
that
they
shall
neither
make
peace
nor
truce
with
him
,
except
your
Maiesties
consent
concurre
,
that
nothing
may
be
defectiue
in
so
great
an
action
:
And
that
your
Maiesty
may
be
secure
,
that
the
weight
of
all
shal
not
wholly
fall
vpon
your selfe
;
then
your
Maiesty
shall
haue
some
foundation
to
deliberate
on
.
Otherwise
,
I
thinke
neither
his
perswasions
to
be
harkened
to
,
nor
himselfe
to
be
retained
:
who
sheweth
by
his
sudden
beginning
,
that
no
fauour
,
grace
,
nor
benefits
from
your
Maiesty
,
can
acquiet
his
mind
from
stirring
you
against
your
owne
peace
,
tranquillity
and
security
of
your
state
and
person
.
Persian
Generall
his
answere
to
the
Viseirs
disswasiue
.
Oliuer
di-Can
answered
,
that
there
was
difference
between
a
proposition
which
was
only
moued
to
be
councelled
of
,
and
a
perswasion
.
That
he
thought
I
councelled
nothing
,
(
much
lesse
perswaded
)
but
onely
propounded
that
to
the
king
,
which
if
it
were
not
then
fit
to
bee
executed
,
for
reasons
that
I
knew
not
in
the
present
condition
of
the
kings
affaires
;
yet
I
deserued
not
so
bitter
a
censure
:
since
Princes
ought
to
heare
all
,
and
elect
the
best
;
and
for
that
elections
sake
,
to
animate
all
to
speake
freely
.
And
because
it
hath
pleased
his
Maiesty
to
giue
you
,
and
me
,
and
all
of
vs
,
leaue
to
speake
,
as
it
is
all
our
duties
to
say
what
wee
thinke
:
so
our
places
are
of
such
a
condition
,
that
our
powers
are
nothing
in
resoluing
:
but
onely
in
discoursing
before
his
Maiesty
,
those
things
which
in
the
truth
of
our
consciences
,
wee
thinke
meetest
for
his
seruice
.
And
if
conuenient
and
necessary
things
be
propounded
,
by
a
Christian
,
by
a
Iew
,
or
by
the
worst
man
liuing
;
not
onely
in
religion
,
but
the
very
disposition
of
his
life
,
I
see
no
cause
why
you
,
nor
I
,
nor
any
should
reiect
that
which
is
good
for
the
illes
sake
;
since
Princes
must
,
and
ought
,
make
their
benefite
of
all
men
:
not
regarding
what
they
are
,
but
how
they
may
serue
them
.
This
Christian
hath
come
from
farre
,
and
through
great
dangers
(
he
faith
)
through
his
affection
,
growing
from
the
excelling
fame
of
his
Maiesty
;
and
should
not
I
thinke
,
that
his
glory
is
worthy
to
be
carried
as
farre
as
tongues
of
men
goe
?
And
shall
not
I
thinke
,
also
,
that
a
Merchant
speaking
of
his
vertues
,
is
not
inabled
beyond
his
spirit
,
raised
by
such
a
subiect
,
to
shew
it
like
it selfe
,
not
like
his
owne
Merchandize
?
And
why
should
I
iudge
him
sent
by
any
,
when
hee
hath
not
assumed
to
himselfe
the
honour
,
dignity
,
nor
priuiledges
of
an
Embassdour
in
a
strange
Countrey
,
where
no
man
would
neglect
any
thing
which
might
aduance
his
quality
,
or
security
?
But
hee
hath
onely
put
himselfe
vpon
the
Kings
fauour
;
and
what
hee
hath
proposed
,
hath
proceeded
rather
from
a
minde
,
to
merit
by
some
good
act
,
that
fauour
,
then
a
demonstration
of
other
dependance
:
for
hauing
giuen
himselfe
to
the
king
,
to
serue
him
without
limitation
of
time
,
but
as
long
as
it
shal
please
his
Maiesty
to
serue
himselfe
of
him
,
hee
sheweth
plainely
,
that
hee
hath
included
his
hope
of
fortune
,
and
benefite
by
this
,
or
any
other
action
,
within
the
compasse
only
of
his
Maiesties
gracious
benignity
.
And
seruing
his
Maiesty
in
this
,
or
any
other
imployment
,
which
his
Maiesty
will
vouchsafe
to
make
vse
of
him
,
If
he
do
it
as
a
stranger
,
he
hath
no
hope
,
but
in
the
merit
of
his
owne
vertue
,
which
must
be
discerned
and
rewarded
by
his
maiesty
;
if
he
serue
as
a
Prince
of
his
Maiesty
(
as
now
by
his
great
magnificency
hee
beareth
the
title
and
place
;
the
same
vertue
must
euer
confirme
and
aduance
his
fauour
,
and
the
same
king
must
iudge
and
reward
it
.
And
this
I
haue
said
in
a
double
duty
;
first
,
to
maintaine
the
act
of
his
Maiesties
great
iudgment
,
which
cannot
mistake
it selfe
in
the
distribution
worthily
of
his
fauors
;
then
in
that
of
hospitality
,
to
answere
iustly
for
a
Gentleman
,
come
to
our
home
,
where
wee
are
all
bound
to
defend
him
from
wrong
:
especially
bearing
about
him
so
great
a
priuiledge
as
a
true
affection
to
our
king
.
But
now
to
speake
of
the
proposition
,
the
Viseirs
obiections
against
it
:
as
I
do
thinke
them
worthy
of
so
wise
a
man
;
yet
because
particular
factions
doe
sometimes
blinde
men
,
both
in
councelling
,
and
deliberating
:
So
questionlesse
his
great
iudgement
hath
beene
much
clouded
with
some
of
those
;
which
haue
made
him
erre
directly
in
the
iudgement
of
some
things
;
and
to
misconceiue
of
the
maine
purpose
generally
of
the
proposition
.
For
no
mans
intention
is
to
be
iudged
to
stretch
beyond
possibility
:
So
that
whatsoeuer
was
propounded
to
his
Maiesty
as
necessary
,
honourable
,
and
profitable
for
him
,
and
his
state
,
included
withall
that
well-vnderstanding
intention
,
that
it
would
please
his
maiesty
to
prouide
,
in
the
firmnesse
of
his
wisedome
and
councell
,
condignely
for
it
:
if
he
want
treasure
,
to
gather
it
;
if
he
want
munition
&
Artilery
,
to
make
quantity
of
both
:
which
must
indeed
require
a
time
for
the
act
;
not
the
resolution
vpon
the
act
.
Without
which
his
Maiesty
(
as
he
shal
haue
no
great
cause
himselfe
)
&
his
Ministers
will
be
lesse
diligent
in
the
expedition
of
all
such
prouisions
;
of
which
(
to
say
the
truth
)
that
huge
masse
of
money
is
of
least
importance
;
his
Maiesty
beeing
able
to
make
in
the
time
of
this
Turkes
distraction
(
and
if
his
whole
power
were
also
vnited
)
a
sufficient
Army
of
his
Timarri
,
and
such
as
hee
already
payeth
,
vpon
the
Frontier
,
to
proceede
with
any
great
designe
against
him
.
For
admit
hee
should
(
vpon
the
mouing
of
the
Kings
Armies
)
come
to
any
foule
conditions
of
peace
in
Hungary
,
as
it
is
vnlike
that
hee
will
;
yet
there
must
bee
so
much
time
betweene
the
proposition
and
concluding
of
the
peace
,
and
remouing
of
his
Army
thence
,
and
transporting
it
hither
,
that
any
great
thing
will
bee
first
effected
,
before
any
obstacle
will
appeare
against
it
.
But
in
reason
,
hee
should
rather
endure
any
vnreasonable
losse
this
way
,
then
the
least
there
:
For
(
besides
that
his
principall
parts
are
altogether
disposed
on
that
side
;
in
so
much
that
the
danger
of
Hungary
doth
extend
it selfe
to
Constantinople
)
Wee
are
euen
of
the
selfe
same
,
or
little
different
religion
,
so
that
the
warres
cannot
proceed
with
a
mortall
hatred
and
desire
of
extirpation
,
which
beareth
with
it
so
much
the
lesse
danger
:
and
as
it
is
the
more
facile
to
be
satisfied
,
so
easier
and
lesse
perillous
conditions
will
euer
end
it
.
That
Tauris
,
Tistis
,
Vannes
,
are
strong
places
,
I
do
not
denie
it
;
but
withal
I
know
that
the
strength
of
no
place
can
maintain
it selfe
against
the
power
&
furie
,
and
the
ordinarie
miseries
brought
by
the
wars
,
without
a
certaine
succour
;
which
I
cannot
see
how
they
can
be
confident
of
.
The
Tartars
you
say
are
newly
conquered
,
and
will
rebell
with
such
a
great
opportunitie
:
surely
I
take
that
opportunitie
the
onely
direct
meanes
to
answere
them
,
nothing
breeding
discontentments
to
a
dangerous
breaking
forth
,
so
much
as
idlenesse
,
and
the
continuall
sight
of
that
which
they
take
to
be
their
oppression
.
Therefore
his
Maiestie
hauing
an
Armie
of
thirty
thousand
men
there
,
and
from
thence
drawing
forth
thirtie
thousand
Tartars
of
the
best
able
for
the
warres
,
the
Prouince
must
be
most
assured
;
the
meanes
and
chiefe
actors
of
innouation
being
in
his
Maiesties
Armie
;
and
their
wiues
,
children
,
and
parents
,
in
pawne
with
their
countrey
for
their
true
seruing
his
Maiestie
in
his
warres
:
which
he
did
think
so
necessarie
for
the
King
to
vndertake
,
that
he
made
no
difference
betweene
putting
his
state
in
extreme
perill
,
and
the
not
vndertaking
of
them
;
counselling
his
Maiestie
to
doe
in
that
point
,
as
all
wise
Princes
vse
to
doe
,
not
onely
to
haue
regard
to
the
present
euils
but
to
the
future
,
and
to
repaire
them
with
all
industrious
prouidence
:
because
that
by
seeing
them
,
and
preuenting
them
a
farre
off
,
the
remedie
might
be
applied
with
great
facilitie
and
good
effect
;
but
by
expecting
them
vntill
they
beare
downe
all
by
their
great
waight
with
them
,
their
cure
will
be
taken
&
vsed
out
of
time
,
the
sicknesse
being
growne
to
incurable
tearmes
:
as
the
Physitions
say
of
the
Hecticke
feauer
,
which
in
his
first
entrance
into
the
bodie
is
easie
to
be
cured
and
hard
to
be
knowne
,
but
through
the
continuance
of
time
with
the
rancor
of
the
disease
by
not
hauing
known
it
,
&
applied
remedie
in
the
beginning
,
it
changeth
the
first
order
,
and
groweth
it selfe
facile
to
be
knowne
and
impossible
to
be
remedied
:
so
doth
it
occurre
in
matters
of
state
;
for
fore-seeing
with
wise
prouidence
,
the
euils
which
rise
toward
it
,
there
is
no
difficultie
in
auoiding
them
;
but
when
from
either
neglect
or
ignorance
of
preuenting
them
they
palisate
themselues
to
euery
mans
vnderstanding
,
there
is
no
more
remedie
familiar
with
our
reason
securely
auailable
against
them
.
Which
maketh
me
bee
bold
to
say
,
that
since
the
inconueniences
which
his
Maiestie
must
suffer
by
the
Turke
are
so
apparant
,
he
must
resolue
and
strengthen
his
minde
and
meanes
to
remoue
them
,
and
not
to
giue
them
greater
power
to
follow
him
by
auoyding
a
warre
:
since
you
may
know
that
the
warre
cannot
be
absolutely
taken
away
,
but
deferred
only
with
the
enemies
aduantage
.
Neyther
will
I
euer
be
aduised
by
that
which
is
alwaies
in
the
mouth
of
the
wise
men
of
these
daies
,
which
is
to
enioy
the
benefit
of
time
;
but
will
say
and
euer
thinke
,
that
Euery
Prince
,
and
euery
man
should
make
vse
of
his
owne
vertue
and
wisdom
,
seeing
time
driuing
euery
thing
before
it
doth
ordinarily
produce
as
often
good
as
ill
,
&
ill
as
good
.
And
why
it
should
at
any
time
diminish
the
reputation
of
his
Maiesties
greatnesse
to
inuite
the
Princes
Christian
to
so
honourable
and
great
an
action
,
I
cannot
discern
,
when
it
is
one
of
the
greatest
foundations
of
a
Princes
reputation
to
raise
himselfe
to
the
greatest
enterprises
,
in
which
his
iudgement
may
not
be
mistaken
in
the
possibilitie
of
effecting
them
.
And
since
it
is
necessary
for
his
Maiestie
to
combine
himselfe
with
them
for
his
owne
strength
and
reputation
,
if
eyther
he
attempt
the
Turke
,
or
be
attempted
by
him
,
why
should
it
not
bee
more
honourable
and
more
facile
for
him
,
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
ends
,
to
speake
vnto
them
in
their
necessitie
(
if
there
be
any
of
eyther
part
)
and
so
to
linke
himselfe
the
stronglier
with
them
by
such
a
bond
;
then
in
his
owne
necessitie
,
in
which
condition
there
is
a
great
question
whether
he
shall
be
heard
.
Lastly
,
how
strange
a
conclusion
you
haue
made
,
I
will
desire
you
to
behold
with
better
consideration
.
You
will
not
haue
the
King
to
make
warre
with
the
Turke
,
to
auoid
expence
of
money
and
munition
,
where
the
best
parts
and
most
plentifull
of
both
countries
are
confining
,
which
would
giue
abundance
,
and
cheaper
liuing
to
an
Armie
;
but
you
will
haue
him
go
to
Larre
,
to
Ormus
,
sterile
countries
farre
remoued
,
where
the
charges
onely
of
supplying
victuals
to
an
Armie
,
would
be
of
more
cost
then
all
other
munition
and
expence
of
the
Armie
besides
.
And
besides
;
there
is
no
danger
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
hath
euer
held
a
fashion
of
maintaining
himselfe
rather
then
encreasing
.
Besides
the
nature
of
his
force
is
of
a
contrarie
qualitie
to
giue
vs
feare
of
his
too
great
inlargement
,
hauing
neither
abundance
of
horse
nor
men
,
but
only
gallies
which
assure
his
forts
,
with
which
also
he
is
sufficiently
contented
.
And
how
wearying
out
a
warre
to
his
Maiesties
treasure
,
and
men
,
that
must
be
where
he
must
fight
but
at
the
enemies
pleasure
and
aduantage
,
the
strength
of
his
enemie
standing
vpon
the
Sea
,
in
which
the
King
hath
no
sort
of
shew
of
power
,
he
submitted
to
his
Maiesties
wisest
consideration
:
besides
the
infinite
danger
by
the
nature
of
the
lying
of
the
state
of
the
Turkes
and
the
King
of
Spaines
,
and
the
essentiall
of
their
potenties
were
of
such
a
condition
,
that
whatsoeuer
was
diminished
from
his
Maiesties
,
or
the
King
of
Spaines
,
was
an
absolute
addition
to
the
Turke
;
who
by
that
aduantage
of
the
weakening
each
others
forces
,
should
haue
a
more
facile
entrie
vpon
any
one
or
both
of
them
.
And
that
it
was
wel
proued
by
his
Maiesties
predecessors
,
that
there
was
not
a
more
maine
vpholder
of
the
beginning
,
and
foundation
of
their
state
nor
manner
of
preseruing
it
(
which
was
all
they
could
doe
)
then
that
league
which
vnited
both
their
forces
euer
against
the
common
enemie
.
And
now
that
God
and
the
great
vertue
of
his
Maiestie
had
so
augmented
the
limits
of
his
dominion
,
that
he
had
power
ioyned
with
true
iustice
and
necessitie
,
to
recouer
those
vsurped
Prouinces
which
the
Turke
held
from
him
(
In
which
action
nothing
could
more
secure
him
,
then
first
,
an
assured
relatiue
friendship
betweene
the
Princes
Christian
and
him
generally
,
and
particularly
the
forces
of
the
King
of
Spaynes
by
Sea
in
those
parts
)
it
should
be
a
strange
Counsell
to
perswade
his
Maiestie
to
make
warre
with
him
whom
he
had
euer
profited
by
,
and
to
offend
all
in
offending
him
;
and
voluntarily
to
inable
the
Turke
in
whatsoeuer
hee
would
vndertake
against
him
:
which
must
needs
be
by
all
reason
&
iudgement
his
enemy
.
Which
made
him
beseech
his
Maiestie
to
continue
that
so
commodious
friendship
vnto
him
,
and
to
strengthen
himselfe
with
new
,
to
fomentate
those
rebellions
,
which
were
no
rumours
,
(
one
of
those
that
were
in
Armes
being
Moombaregue
a
Prince
tributarie
to
his
Maiesty
;
the
others
,
though
no
men
of
great
qualitie
,
yet
of
great
happinesse
in
their
proceedings
)
and
to
prouide
for
all
things
necessary
for
so
great
an
enterprise
:
for
which
,
though
the
Vicesire
were
otherwise
perswaded
,
nothing
did
more
facilitate
the
iudgement
of
his
good
successe
,
then
the
Prince
of
the
Turkes
owne
incapacitie
;
Nothing
hauing
euer
beene
proued
more
certaine
,
then
that
the
Ministers
of
any
Prince
do
euer
symbolize
with
their
Masters
vertues
or
vices
;
and
that
men
of
extraordinary
vertue
with
them
,
haue
euer
little
power
,
or
little
time
:
suspition
being
the
best
preseruer
of
their
defects
,
which
euer
aymeth
at
those
who
haue
more
vertue
then
themselues
,
as
fearing
them
most
.
A
discourse
proued
true
by
the
miserable
end
of
all
those
named
,
and
by
many
examples
which
he
would
leaue
vnrehearsed
,
as
things
that
neuer
bare
more
credit
then
the
faith
of
the
hearer
gaue
them
.
And
so
left
off
,
humbly
beseeching
his
Maiesty
to
pardon
his
boldnes
and
freenes
which
were
euer
the
birth
of
true
zealous
deuotion
:
he
had
onely
expressed
what
he
thought
,
his
Maiesty
might
please
to
resolue
of
that
hee
thought
honourable
,
secure
,
and
profitable
for
his
state
and
person
.
The
causes
of
his
danger
from
the
Turke
he
spake
not
of
,
first
touched
by
me
,
and
apparant
to
all
.
The
king
then
commanded
Baslan-Aga
to
speake
freely
also
what
he
thought
,
who
after
a
reuerence
vnto
him
,
hauing
repeated
the
arguments
past
,
commended
them
all
(
as
it
is
his
fashion
apparantly
to
offend
no
bodie
:
but
what
he
doth
in
that
qualitie
is
secretly
)
and
then
as
though
he
meant
no
such
matter
,
diuiding
what
he
would
speak
into
two
points
,
And
it
is
not
possible
for
any
to
vse
great
Armes
or
small
a
long
time
,
which
haue
not
a
fountaine
of
great
reuenewes
from
at
home
,
and
a
foundation
of
great
plentie
in
the
field
.
For
as
without
sinewes
the
members
of
this
compact
of
our
bodie
cannot
moue
;
and
if
they
doe
,
shew
a
stirring
onely
,
for
a
testimonie
of
their
life
,
which
may
be
in
them
;
yet
that
mouing
is
vnperfect
both
in
vigour
and
continuance
:
So
Armes
neyther
can
be
gathered
,
neyther
can
they
be
appropriated
to
necessarie
dessignes
,
nor
maintained
vnited
in
any
enterprize
without
a
Riuer
of
money
which
may
refresh
them
in
conuenient
time
,
and
make
swimme
after
them
munitions
,
victualles
,
and
other
necessarie
prouisions
both
for
the
sustenance
of
euery
particular
bodie
,
and
importing
to
the
good
purpose
and
effect
of
the
mannagement
of
their
Armes
.
And
because
the
reuenewes
of
iust
and
good
Princes
,
(
as
the
faculties
of
the
subiects
from
whom
they
are
deriued
)
are
limited
;
and
drawing
without
measure
for
one
yeare
or
two
huge
quantities
of
money
out
of
their
estates
,
their
countries
will
remaine
poore
and
exhausted
of
gold
and
siluer
.
From
whence
proceedeth
that
warres
of
such
a
condition
as
cannot
be
ended
neere
at
hand
,
but
draw
(
through
the
necessitie
of
perfecting
them
well
when
they
are
once
begun
)
the
Prince
and
the
Armie
a
farre
off
;
neyther
can
be
vndertaken
nor
continued
,
but
by
Princes
who
haue
infinite
treasures
acumulated
through
long
times
prouidence
,
or
neuer-ending
mines
(
for
other
sort
of
ordinarie
aboundance
of
what
greatnesse
soeuer
it
be
,
will
be
dried
vp
and
vanish
;
and
a
short
time
bringeth
it
to
an
end
)
the
times
of
peace
gathering
by
minutes
that
which
the
warre
spendeth
by
houres
:
and
one
yeare
of
warre
consumeth
the
fruits
of
many
yeares
of
peace
.
Mustapha
Bashaw
,
when
Soliman
deliberated
of
the
warres
which
he
made
with
our
great
king
Ismael
,
told
him
that
before
he
resolued
of
it
,
that
there
were
foure
torrents
to
be
opened
;
the
one
of
men
,
the
other
of
victuals
,
the
other
of
munition
,
the
other
of
money
:
and
in
all
he
said
well
,
but
in
the
last
best
.
For
if
euery
sort
of
warre
require
mightie
expence
,
questionlesse
such
a
one
doth
it
most
,
which
is
carried
farre
from
your
owne
home
,
where
the
nourishment
of
your
owne
countrie
may
subminister
abundance
and
cheapnesse
to
your
people
:
which
the
Turke
proued
true
:
for
hauing
vndertaken
that
warre
more
vpon
the
Confidence
of
his
resolution
then
good
Councel
,
being
a
Prince
of
so
great
power
,
he
so
consumed
his
treasure
that
hee
was
compelled
to
abase
the
allay
of
his
Gold
and
Siluer
:
and
for
all
that
to
raise
the
price
to
the
double
value
:
and
to
comport
it
with
the
falsification
of
monie
,
and
many
such
great
inconueniencies
;
for
which
the
Ianizaries
rushed
into
strange
mutinies
,
and
many
perrillous
successes
followed
:
yet
had
he
Timarri
as
your
Maiesty
hath
;
but
when
the
length
&
quality
of
the
war
deuoured
them
faster
than
their
abilitie
was
to
beare
,
the
Prince
was
constrained
if
he
would
vse
them
,
to
giue
them
means
of
sustenance
also
:
&
your
Maiestie
which
hath
a
state
as
yet
exceeding
feeble
,
and
scarce
recouered
from
a
mortall
sicknesse
,
is
so
much
vnable
to
beare
the
burthen
of
such
a
warre
,
that
by
ouer
weakning
it
in
drawing
from
it
that
small
vital
sustenance
which
it
hath
,
it
may
(
which
God
forbid
)
occasion
the
last
ruine
of
it
;
like
a
sicke
bodie
,
which
aggrauated
with
the
ill
of
the
disease
,
looseth
his
naturall
vigour
.
Therefore
great
fortunes
and
victories
sometimes
when
they
meete
not
with
a
minde
of
that
excellent
wisdome
and
vertue
,
that
is
able
to
vse
them
iudiciously
and
temperately
,
are
the
most
powerfull
meanes
of
the
ruine
of
the
Prince
and
state
:
when
being
carried
away
with
the
confidence
soly
of
a
continuing
felicitie
,
they
embrace
more
then
they
can
possibly
claspe
:
and
the
mischiefes
which
succeede
of
such
ill
measured
warres
fall
not
only
vpon
the
Prince
,
but
are
pernicious
also
to
his
poore
people
,
when
through
their
ambitions
and
cupidities
they
are
Authors
and
stirrers
of
new
perturbations
.
Your
Maiestie
hath
now
assured
your selfe
from
all
such
ruines
,
as
heretofore
kept
you
from
vniting
your selfe
either
for
your
defence
against
the
Turke
,
or
offence
when
your
generall
force
might
make
you
able
for
such
a
resolution
;
and
that
which
is
more
,
those
men
,
which
were
accustomably
vsed
against
you
,
are
added
to
your
owne
power
:
your
wants
are
mony
,
munitions
,
artillarie
,
which
you
haue
time
enough
to
prouide
abundantly
,
by
the
greatnesse
,
vnitie
,
and
wealth
,
of
your
owne
Dominions
:
and
the
Turkes
present
distractions
,
troubles
,
and
generall
corruptions
,
which
in
naturall
discourse
are
likelier
to
encrease
by
time
then
decrease
.
For
Good
and
I
'd
haue
in
the
gouernment
of
men
this
difference
between
themselues
,
that
Good
though
it
be
brought
forth
by
time
,
yet
it
is
not
renued
by
time
;
and
though
by
our
studies
and
industries
it
be
maintained
,
it
corrupteth
not-withstanding
by
degrees
of
it selfe
,
and
finally
of
it selfe
,
also
extinguisheth
;
as
we
may
read
and
see
in
the
succeedings
of
all
states
and
of
all
Sects
:
the
contrarie
of
which
appeareth
in
Ill
,
since
it
doth
not
wast
by
little
and
little
through
the
wearing
of
time
,
as
Good
doth
;
but
rather
increaseth
to
a
more
powerfull
validitie
,
and
by
easie
passages
riseth
to
the
extremitie
of
declination
.
So
that
hauing
such
assurance
of
the
working
of
time
in
that
qualitie
with
which
the
Turke
is
alreadie
infected
,
Your
Maiestie
may
reponder
and
resolue
at
leisure
of
the
proceeding
of
your
enterprise
:
only
prouide
meanes
to
establish
and
perfect
it
when
it
shall
bee
concluded
.
This
Christian
hath
brought
with
him
a
Founder
of
artillarie
:
let
him
bee
vsefull
to
your
Maiestie
in
something
;
and
let
vs
your
seruants
haue
the
comfort
to
see
some
good
fruit
of
your
infinite
magnificencie
.
In
the
meane
time
,
by
deferring
your
deliberation
,
Your
Maiesty
shal
euer
haue
aduantage
to
determine
by
the
progresse
and
successe
of
thinges
,
and
so
shall
you
either
moue
or
stand
what
way
soeuer
you
incline
vnto
,
more
surely
founded
.
For
your
Maiesties
sending
to
the
Princes
Christian
,
I
giue
also
the
same
counsell
to
beware
of
errour
by
acceleration
,
since
if
they
be
great
,
and
haue
neede
of
colligating
themselues
with
your
Maiestie
(
as
your
need
of
them
shall
neuer
bee
without
theirs
of
you
,
both
rising
from
the
same
,
either
the
Turkes
potencie
to
sustaine
him
ioyntly
,
or
his
impotencie
to
dissolue
him
ioyntly
)
they
I
say
without
once
measuring
obligations
,
honour
done
,
or
benefits
past
,
for
their
present
interest
will
euer
imbrace
your
fauour
and
friendship
,
at
what
time
soeuer
it
shall
bee
offered
.
If
they
be
Princes
of
no
great
power
in
themselues
,
their
suspition
,
feare
,
and
iealousie
will
naturally
induce
them
to
combine
themselues
with
your
Maiestie
,
or
any
Prince
of
a
porportionable
power
for
such
an
effect
,
for
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
a
more
powerful
enemie
.
That
this
Christian
doth
insist
to
haue
it
done
now
,
I
cannot
discerne
his
reason
;
for
if
his
condition
be
good
in
his
owne
Countrie
,
it
is
vnlikely
that
for
the
enioying
of
any
other
fortune
he
will
perpetually
banish
himselfe
from
thence
,
and
would
be
glad
to
haue
such
a
demonstration
there
of
his
valour
and
fortune
,
to
haue
bin
able
to
perswade
a
great
King
of
Persia
to
such
an
act
:
in
which
if
the
books
of
our
former
Kings
erre
not
,
many
great
Kings
,
or
at
least
Kings
,
haue
failed
.
For
the
present
vsing
of
your
Maiesties
Souldiers
to
keepe
them
in
practise
and
not
to
suffer
their
courage
to
be
ouercome
with
too
much
and
too
long
ease
,
You
haue
two
wayes
;
one
to
change
often
your
Armie
in
Corassane
;
the
other
to
employ
them
toward
Larr
and
these
parts
;
which
is
a
most
iust
,
facile
,
and
profitable
enterprise
.
For
taking
of
Larr
,
you
shall
bring
those
of
Ormus
to
an
acknowledgement
both
of
tribute
and
homage
to
you
,
which
will
giue
a
great
satisfaction
to
your
Subiects
,
by
that
beginning
conceiuing
a
hope
of
greater
things
:
and
bee
the
more
assured
of
them
and
their
helpe
,
if
you
neede
it
hereafter
,
by
the
neerer
you
are
to
preiudice
them
,
if
they
should
not
be
apt
to
serue
you
:
and
the
expence
can
be
nothing
against
a
smal
King
,
the
Tymarri
onely
of
Syraz
sufficing
for
that
enterprise
.
But
as
I
haue
said
thus
much
by
your
Maiesties
commaundement
only
,
so
I
will
neuer
make
my selfe
an
obstinate
Authour
of
a
Councell
:
but
humbly
submit
what
I
haue
said
to
your
Maiesties
excelling
iudgement
,
and
the
resolution
of
your
determination
to
Gods
direction
,
and
your
wisedome
;
and
the
execution
to
his
great
prouidence
and
your
Maiesties
infinite
vertue
.
And
(
laughing
vpon
me
)
sonne
(
said
he
)
haue
I
not
said
true
of
your
mind
?
When
he
had
ended
,
I
beseeched
his
Maiestie
to
vouchsafe
to
heare
me
once
more
;
which
he
said
was
needlesse
,
&
the
day
farre
spent
:
therefore
since
euery
man
had
already
spoken
their
opinion
he
would
also
say
somewhat
of
his
owne
,
and
referre
the
farther
deliberation
of
things
vntill
an
other
time
.
The
proposition
which
Mirza
Antonio
(
saith
he
)
made
vnto
me
,
Osman
Bassa
,
nor
their
diuersion
into
Hungary
,
but
that
ancient
art
by
the
which
they
euer
carried
their
warres
;
which
hath
beene
alwaies
to
offend
and
preuent
an
enemie
;
to
vse
exceeding
celeritie
in
all
their
enterprises
;
to
haue
their
forces
in
perpetuall
readinesse
;
not
to
attempt
two
enterprises
at
one
time
,
and
if
it
were
possible
,
not
to
be
troubled
with
them
at
one
time
;
not
to
spend
the
benefit
of
time
,
and
their
men
&
treasure
vpon
matters
of
small
importance
:
and
not
to
continue
a
warre
long
with
any
,
to
auoid
by
such
a
meanes
the
informing
by
practise
any
Prince
or
his
people
in
the
exercise
of
armes
.
Which
if
it
haue
otherwise
hapned
in
Hungary
,
it
proceedeth
rather
from
the
obstination
of
the
Princes
Christian
,
then
from
any
part
of
his
owne
desire
.
I
(
said
the
king
)
want
footmen
,
artillery
,
and
money
,
which
I
must
make
readie
;
the
Turks
neuer
hauing
aduantage
vpon
my
people
through
their
valour
,
but
onely
by
that
defect
.
Gallies
I
haue
none
;
therefore
since
they
must
be
necessary
for
some
purpose
,
of
which
the
warres
may
bring
forth
the
occasion
;
and
perhaps
also
of
necessitie
;
and
I
can
only
hope
for
them
of
the
Portugeses
:
it
will
be
an
ill
counsell
to
offend
them
in
any
point
,
and
then
afterward
vpon
a
new
treatie
to
relie
vpon
them
in
so
great
a
case
,
and
in
which
my
necessitie
may
also
concurre
.
For
the
Turks
present
state
,
and
the
iudgement
of
his
future
,
it
is
a
thing
facile
to
make
,
and
hard
to
erre
in
;
since
,
by
the
ordinarie
course
of
the
working
causes
of
mutations
of
states
,
when
a
gouernment
doth
proceed
from
suffering
the
first
abuses
,
to
confirme
them
in
the
most
part
of
the
state
,
a
few
intelligent
instruments
are
not
sufficient
to
beare
the
weight
of
the
disorders
,
and
to
correct
them
;
being
the
nature
of
men
,
when
they
flie
from
one
extreeme
to
runn
headlong
without
any
mediocritie
into
another
:
by
which
the
Turks
extreeme
obedience
is
become
a
direct
despisablenesse
of
his
person
and
authority
.
And
this
Princes
incapacity
must
be
in
this
point
the
ruine
of
their
state
,
diffusing
the
like
infection
into
the
members
,
for
such
as
is
the
Prince
,
such
are
his
greater
ministers
,
&
such
are
his
people
.
Then
whether
I
giue
my selfe
time
or
no
time
,
for
what
belongeth
vnto
him
,
that
may
perhaps
be
all
one
,
since
his
being
as
he
is
,
or
worse
,
sheweth
facilitie
enough
for
the
well
proceeding
of
any
enterprise
fundamentally
designed
against
him
.
Yet
many
times
generall
rules
faile
in
particular
subiects
,
and
a
new
Prince
may
&
can
reforme
those
disorders
;
but
the
time
in
truth
which
my
owne
wants
force
me
to
take
(
and
not
these
arguments
which
are
no
other
then
arguments
)
shall
shew
that
I
am
not
defectiue
in
those
points
,
in
which
he
is
.
But
that
which
I
begin
shal
haue
the
extract
of
it
from
sound
counsell
,
and
the
ending
from
as
perfect
vertue
,
if
I
or
my
people
haue
it
.
For
the
flame
of
our
warre
once
breaking
forth
(
beleeue
it
)
will
not
be
so
facily
extinguished
,
both
,
because
great
Princes
difficilly
speak
of
peace
while
they
feele
themselues
able
to
make
warres
;
and
the
diuersity
of
our
religion
will
striue
with
a
more
mortall
rancor
then
contraries
.
Therefore
I
must
strengthen
my selfe
by
all
possible
waies
to
beare
the
furie
of
it
:
which
must
be
done
by
the
inabling
and
augmentation
of
my
forces
,
changing
the
orders
of
my
owne
militia
,
to
such
as
are
properest
for
the
enemy
which
I
propound
to
my selfe
;
establishing
the
gouernment
of
my
countrie
in
such
a
sort
,
that
the
generall
abundance
may
without
the
feeling
of
a
heauie
exaction
replenish
my
treasures
;
cause
plentifull
prouisions
of
artillerie
,
armes
and
munitions
;
and
adde
to
these
internal
powers
of
my
owne
,
those
of
the
Princes
eyther
by
protection
or
league
:
of
which
the
first
sort
,
I
meane
I
haue
alreadie
the
Georgians
being
all
vnder
my
protection
:
but
it
is
a
weake
helpe
,
I
being
bound
by
that
condition
to
defend
them
vpon
my
charge
,
and
they
vnable
to
assist
me
,
except
vpon
the
same
also
.
And
though
it
be
true
that
they
bring
me
a
fashion
of
reputation
,
yet
is
it
such
a
reputation
as
hath
no
essentiall
point
of
foundation
:
but
onely
serueth
me
by
ignorance
of
the
quality
,
in
which
they
are
vnto
me
,
rather
then
in
the
substance
and
strength
.
Leagues
are
vsually
of
more
appearance
then
effect
,
and
of
more
splendor
in
the
beginning
,
then
of
profit
or
durablenesse
in
the
end
(
so
many
accidents
causing
disunion
,
suspition
,
or
some
other
ill
quality
amongst
confederates
)
yet
when
a
league
is
made
for
preseruation
against
the
common
perill
rising
from
a
potent
enemie
,
and
when
diuers
bodies
are
moued
to
one
end
,
and
with
one
consent
,
and
not
one
bodie
with
diuers
consents
,
and
euerie
one
of
these
hauing
particular
respect
to
a
diuers
end
,
and
when
if
there
be
any
thing
acquisited
the
distribution
of
the
members
of
that
bodie
is
such
,
vpon
whom
the
acquest
is
to
be
made
,
that
there
is
no
possible
pretendence
from
one
to
the
others
getting
;
I
doe
not
see
but
that
such
a
league
must
bring
substantiall
reputation
,
and
generall
commoditie
that
wil
not
be
subiected
to
any
common
accident
of
dissolution
.
For
the
Tartars
which
I
haue
as
subiected
if
I
were
Oliuer
Di-Chan
,
Haldenbeague
,
●r
Bas●an-Ag●
,
I
could
thinke
of
few
better
meanes
to
assure
my selfe
of
their
rebellions
,
then
those
which
they
haue
propoūded
:
except
one
addition
of
suffering
them
to
enioy
their
ancient
order
,
lawes
,
and
their
particular
course
of
iustice
.
But
as
I
am
borne
with
a
minde
of
another
constitution
,
I
can
secure
them
better
by
giuing
them
to
their
owne
naturall
Prince
,
and
him
to
them
.
For
to
whose
father
I
was
so
much
bound
,
that
through
the
royalty
of
his
disposition
I
hold
my
life
,
&
had
the
beginning
of
what
I
am
,
I
can
do
little
for
the
son
,
&
no
gratefull
act
at
all
for
the
memory
of
the
father
,
if
I
cannot
giue
him
a
kingdom
which
is
the
least
part
of
what
I
am
.
Mirza
Antonio
(
for
so
he
euer
called
mee
)
what
he
is
to
mee
vou
all
must
know
,
and
my
estimation
of
him
:
which
I
assure
my selfe
to
be
grounded
vpon
a
good
and
true
iudgement
,
since
he
hath
beene
the
first
and
onely
propounder
of
the
manifest
point
of
all
other
,
which
doth
or
may
concerne
mee
most
.
So
for
that
matter
of
sending
in
which
there
is
more
diuersitie
of
opinions
about
the
forme
of
circumstance
,
then
essentiall
matter
of
substance
,
I
will
remit
it
to
his
fidelitie
and
true
affection
to
me
,
to
dispose
as
hee
shall
in
those
two
great
works
in
a
noble
minde
,
finde
meetest
for
my
honour
,
and
conuenient
,
&
certainest
for
the
effecting
.
Yet
this
must
I
tell
you
and
him
,
which
hath
not
yet
beene
thought
of
,
That
a
great
Prince
,
as
I
am
,
must
receiue
a
deniall
for
an
iniury
:
and
I
had
rather
not
know
them
at
all
,
then
with
knowing
them
to
be
also
offended
by
them
;
though
(
this
I
say
also
)
that
he
cannot
be
iudged
to
haue
authoritie
to
command
their
wils
,
therfore
must
be
blamelesse
in
all
,
except
in
the
lightnesse
of
his
imagination
,
vpon
which
slender
occasion
he
ought
not
,
for
the
credite
of
his
own
iudgement
,
to
haue
formed
a
Counsell
.
Before
I
could
frame
one
word
of
reply
,
he
rose
,
and
hauing
talked
a
little
while
alone
with
Xathmascolibeague
,
he
called
my
interpreter
,
and
held
him
some
quarter
of
an
houre
in
a
very
earnest
speech
:
which
was
,
to
command
him
(
as
he
afterwards
told
me
)
not
to
let
me
know
what
his
Viseire
had
said
against
me
,
but
charged
him
to
animate
me
to
loue
his
people
,
and
also
to
confirme
(
in
all
he
could
)
my
affection
&
well-hearted
intention
to
his
own
seruice
.
Anthony
Sherley
.
After
he
was
retired
,
the
Viseire
came
vnto
me
,
and
hauing
saluted
me
with
a
goodly
fashion
of
courtesie
,
he
began
to
desire
me
not
to
be
offended
,
that
his
being
curious
of
his
Maiesties
good
,
had
stirred
in
him
so
violent
a
desire
,
that
through
it
he
had
mistaken
me
,
and
the
true
aspect
of
my
ends
.
But
as
there
was
euer
a
good
remedie
for
all
knowne
errors
,
and
especially
for
the
most
accelerated
,
so
there
should
be
in
his
towards
me
all
the
best
and
carefull
seruice
,
which
he
might
possibly
doe
vnto
me
.
And
though
I
stood
in
need
of
little
helpe
to
put
forward
the
kings
affection
towardes
me
,
yet
hee
assured
me
,
that
in
all
due
and
fit
opportunities
he
would
not
be
wanting
to
performe
the
vttermost
part
of
a
true
friend
,
in
that
or
any
thing
else
which
might
protend
my
good
.
I
did
make
all
the
shew
I
could
to
beleeue
him
;
commended
his
zeale
to
his
king
;
and
withall
desired
him
to
haue
a
constant
opinion
,
that
my
good
intention
to
his
seruice
also
might
mislead
my
iudgement
of
some
things
,
but
the
truth
of
my
heart
neuer
.
Therefore
I
desired
him
,
that
if
I
did
erre
also
in
such
a
point
,
it
would
please
him
to
correct
me
as
a
father
,
and
not
to
oppose
against
the
rising
of
my
fortune
as
an
enemie
,
since
I
knew
my
hopes
to
be
of
small
time
or
expectation
if
they
must
wrestle
with
his
power
and
wisedome
:
also
that
I
knew
his
vertue
too
great
to
enuie
a
man
which
could
not
grow
at
all
,
but
vnder
him
,
and
that
I
knew
a
good
desert
of
my selfe
towardes
him
in
the
conscience
of
my
most
affectionate
respectiue
disposition
,
which
would
neuer
faile
to
make
very
perfect
demonstrations
of
it selfe
vnto
him
,
in
all
worthy
occasions
which
should
eyther
offer
themselues
,
or
he
should
command
.
And
so
were
parted
with
a
mutuall
shew
of
great
satisfaction
,
which
I
know
now
of
vs
both
had
.
That
night
Courchi
Bassa
arriued
at
the
Court
;
and
next
day
as
the
king
told
me
,
accompanied
with
the
Viseir
&
Bastan
.
Aga
perswaded
him
again
,
not
against
making
him
readie
for
the
war
against
the
Turke
,
if
he
should
be
counselled
vnto
it
by
any
good
aduantage
,
or
forced
by
the
Christians
peace
with
him
:
but
(
because
his
Maiestie
was
almost
determined
that
way
)
to
vse
all
the
best
meanes
,
first
to
weaken
him
without
shewing
himselfe
purposely
an
actor
in
it
.
(
And
that
was
to
be
done
by
encouraging
his
rebels
,
and
by
breaking
as
much
as
he
could
the
trade
and
commerce
into
his
dominions
,
which
subministred
vnto
him
both
the
sinewes
of
his
warre
,
and
those
also
which
did
bind
the
bodie
of
his
state
together
.
)
That
Mombarecke
(
which
held
of
his
Maiestie
the
principalitie
of
Sustane
;
of
the
Turke
Giziwr
,
and
the
deserts
from
Balsaracke
to
Damasco
with
the
lest
conuenence
of
his
Maiestie
,
would
continue
his
Armes
against
the
Turke
,
and
make
all
those
passages
so
infestuous
,
that
neyther
Bagdet
nor
Damasco
should
receiue
the
commoditie
,
of
any
of
those
Carauans
of
Merchants
which
vsually
came
to
them
from
Balsarah
:
by
which
the
Turke
should
loose
euery
yeare
two
millions
of
Entrata
.
For
the
Portugeses
(
if
his
Maiestie
would
please
to
iudge
indifferently
)
it
was
as
likely
that
they
would
mislike
his
too
great
increase
as
the
Turke
,
and
so
much
the
more
as
they
were
lesse
able
to
resist
him
,
then
the
Turke
was
;
Larr
and
Nicolow
ioyned
together
:
whereof
by
taking
the
one
,
he
did
more
assure
any
mouing
of
theirs
against
him
;
and
if
they
ment
him
well
they
could
not
bee
offended
at
the
neerenesse
of
his
neighbourhood
.
And
ingaging
the
other
in
some
actions
against
the
Turke
as
to
robbe
,
spoyle
,
and
hinder
the
trafficke
of
the
Arabian
gulfe
,
and
such
like
should
by
such
an
act
make
him
desperate
of
the
Turke
;
and
so
ioyne
him
through
his
owne
necessitie
surely
to
him
:
and
though
he
were
otherwise
of
no
great
importance
,
yet
by
his
bordering
vpon
the
sea
,
&
his
mens
expertnes
of
the
sea
,
he
was
to
be
made
in
that
point
very
profitable
hereafter
,
and
a
good
instrument
for
the
present
(
and
euery
small
addition
of
force
,
or
meanes
gathereth
reputation
to
all
great
actions
)
when
the
time
were
fit
that
they
should
appeare
partials
to
to
his
Maiestie
.
And
for
sending
an
Ambassador
to
the
Princes
Christian
,
he
thought
it
first
against
his
dignitie
to
offer
himself
vnto
them
,
who
in
their
need
of
him
through
their
pride
neglected
once
to
speake
vnto
,
or
with
his
Maiestie
.
Then
in
the
wel
carrying
of
his
other
purposes
,
which
would
be
palesated
by
so
maine
a
cause
of
suspition
.
Therefore
that
his
Maiestie
must
eyther
determine
to
breake
presently
with
the
Turk
,
not
which
he
could
;
or
else
to
giue
him
no
apparant
suspition
of
any
such
inclination
or
carriage
of
things
:
by
which
he
should
winne
time
to
make
his
owne
prouisions
with
good
foundation
,
and
keepe
the
Turke
vnfurnished
;
euer
,
nourishing
him
with
so
wise
artifice
,
that
he
might
be
secured
from
any
opinion
of
such
mouing
the
time
nor
nothing
else
promising
felicity
to
his
actions
so
much
as
the
wise
vsing
of
the
time
,
and
of
those
things
which
,
were
offered
him
.
What
the
king
replied
I
know
not
(
hauing
receiued
this
opinion
of
Courtchi
Bassa
from
the
king
himselfe
,
who
by
that
and
other
eternall
contrary
counsels
was
so
much
distracted
in
his
owne
resolution
as
a
prince
that
desireth
to
doe
great
things
,
and
them
also
well
determines
not
sodainly
vpon
faire
hopes
,
but
carrieth
his
hopes
to
perfection
by
the
working
of
his
wisedome
:
so
that
many
daies
after
,
when
I
would
begin
to
enter
into
a
new
discourse
of
those
deliberations
,
hee
would
presently
turne
himselfe
to
speake
of
other
matters
.
In
this
fashion
more
then
one
moneth
passed
,
in
which
I
had
no
comfort
of
my
desire
,
but
onely
that
which
Xa-Thamas
Colibeague
&
Oliuer
Di
Chan
gaue
me
,
and
the
kings
exceeding
fauour
which
rather
increased
then
decreased
towards
me
.
In
this
time
(
as
though
all
the
strength
of
that
ill
spirit
,
who
euer
raiseth
the
vttermost
of
his
skill
and
power
to
preuent
all
good
purposes
had
conspired
to
ouerthrow
the
well
proceeding
of
this
good
businesse
)
There
came
newes
to
the
Court
,
that
Mahomet-Aga
Generall
of
the
Ianizaries
of
Bagdat
was
entred
into
the
kings
Confines
,
as
Ambassador
from
the
Turke
,
with
a
rich
present
,
and
maruellous
honourable
traine
:
And
that
those
of
Ormus
had
stayed
by
force
sixteene
slaues
which
were
sent
by
the
great
Mogore
to
the
king
;
with
nine
other
which
Oliuer
Di-Chan
had
bought
in
those
parts
,
and
the
Marchants
for
their
more
security
had
sent
them
with
those
of
the
kings
.
This
raised
the
courages
of
those
which
opposed
themselues
to
the
maine
businesse
,
alienated
mightily
the
hearts
of
Oliuer
Di-Chan
,
and
Xa-Tamas
Colibeague
from
all
,
and
exasperated
the
king
himselfe
so
much
against
them
,
that
his
ordinarie
speech
was
no
other
,
but
that
hee
would
shortly
learne
them
to
haue
a
respect
vnto
him
,
which
did
so
exceedingly
fill
my
very
soule
with
perplexitie
,
and
anxietie
,
that
I
fell
into
a
very
dangerous
sicknesse
,
in
which
the
king
neuer
failed
daily
to
visit
me
himselfe
;
and
finding
that
the
recordation
of
those
things
did
aggrauate
both
the
griefe
of
my
minde
,
and
vnquiet
of
my
bodie
,
he
forbad
that
any
in
my
presence
should
speake
more
of
it
,
but
onely
comfort
me
with
all
sort
of
discourse
of
recreation
,
with
so
royall
and
so
gracious
a
regard
,
that
he
shewed
apparantly
enough
,
that
few
accidents
could
dispose
his
minde
from
any
reasonable
contentment
which
he
might
giue
me
.
In
the
meane
time
Mahomet-Aga
arriued
at
the
Court
,
whom
the
king
sent
his
Viseire
and
Courtchibassa
to
meete
accompanied
with
a
thousand
horse
of
the
principall
of
the
Court
,
and
of
the
Citie
.
These
(
no
question
)
gaue
him
large
instructions
,
and
as
large
hopes
;
which
if
he
had
guided
also
rightly
,
he
might
haue
done
his
Master
great
seruice
,
and
himselfe
infinite
honour
:
but
through
his
owne
too
hastie
greedinesse
,
assurance
,
and
desire
,
he
preuented
himselfe
whilest
he
striued
first
beyond
that
which
was
indifferently
good
,
then
beyond
that
which
was
better
,
and
at
the
last
beyond
all
reasonable
(
and
I
thinke
his
owne
)
hopes
.
For
first
being
proudly
confident
vpon
the
greatnes
of
his
Master
;
then
vpon
the
difficultie
of
the
king
of
Persians
present
estate
,
to
be
moued
to
offend
so
potent
a
neighbour
;
then
vpon
so
great
and
strong
a
faction
in
the
Court
;
besides
hauing
heard
by
them
that
the
kings
mind
was
altered
from
those
of
Ormus
,
and
that
Oliuer
Chan
also
was
then
likewise
alienated
from
his
first
censure
through
the
particular
wrong
done
vnto
himselfe
,
or
else
that
he
changed
the
inclination
of
his
minde
according
to
the
corrupt
condition
of
all
Courts
,
in
which
the
loue
of
obsequiousnesse
to
the
Prince
,
and
fitting
themselues
to
their
appetites
(
by
that
meanes
to
strengthen
their
owne
emulations
)
is
more
power-able
then
the
feare
to
do
ill
,
and
the
working
of
their
owne
consciences
:
or
else
that
in
all
things
there
is
a
certaine
reuolution
;
and
as
there
are
mouings
of
times
,
so
there
are
also
vartations
in
our
minds
and
fashions
.
Making
himselfe
strong
in
his
assurance
vpon
these
foundations
,
&c
vpon
the
weaknes
of
his
opposition
,
which
was
left
much
infeebled
by
the
distraction
of
Oliuer
Di-Chan
,
he
left
the
right
way
of
mouing
by
degrees
so
great
a
businesse
to
carrie
it
euen
without
agitation
or
danger
:
And
as
though
with
knowing
the
circumstances
he
had
attained
the
end
,
he
ouerthrew
his
Masters
intention
,
his
owne
honour
,
and
almost
lost
his
life
,
if
the
kings
infinite
clemency
had
not
eyther
despised
or
pittied
his
error
.
Neyther
doe
I
set
downe
these
thinges
with
so
particular
a
care
for
my
owne
sake
to
make
eyther
my
worke
the
greater
,
or
to
make
an
ostentation
of
any
thing
which
was
not
,
but
because
in
all
discourses
which
I
haue
seene
giuen
forth
for
the
worlds
better
vnderstanding
of
those
things
which
one
man
hath
compiled
out
of
the
largenes
of
his
reading
or
experience
,
it
hath
beene
a
good
and
necessarie
vse
to
set
downe
the
nature
of
the
people
treated
of
,
&
in
what
sort
they
might
be
or
were
temperately
gouerned
,
and
how
much
was
learned
of
the
Princes
and
great
mens
disposition
,
iudgement
and
skill
in
ruling
;
by
which
course
,
they
which
obserued
it
,
were
accounted
wise
and
prudent
vnderstanders
of
the
times
&
places
which
they
conuersed
in
:
so
in
this
time
of
greater
corruption
where
all
contrarie
examples
not
seen
,
nor
knowne
by
vs
,
may
breed
a
wonder
,
by
that
rarenesse
of
others
vertues
,
and
by
that
,
a
detestation
of
our
owne
familiar
vices
,
which
giue
few
amongst
vs
the
wisedome
to
make
a
true
distinction
of
honestie
from
dishonestie
,
&
that
which
is
iustly
profitable
from
that
which
is
vniustly
harmefull
;
by
which
meanes
may
be
gathered
more
and
better
profit
by
other
mens
foraine
experience
,
then
those
examples
in
which
they
are
daily
exercised
.
But
as
such
a
fashion
of
declaration
will
be
of
the
best
sort
of
vse
,
so
I
am
not
ignorant
with
how
little
delight
and
credit
,
it
will
be
accompanied
.
For
to
relate
the
situation
of
of
countries
,
the
variable
euents
of
the
acts
of
great
Princes
and
Captaines
,
these
do
detaine
and
reuiue
,
as
it
were
the
minds
of
the
readers
.
I
speake
onely
of
a
good
intention
,
tossed
with
the
tempests
,
first
of
many
desperate
calamities
;
then
with
many
potent
oppositions
;
the
iustice
,
wisedome
,
temperance
,
liberalitie
,
valour
,
mercifulnesse
,
and
generality
of
all
excellent
vertues
in
a
Prince
esteemed
by
vs
barbarous
,
and
yet
indeed
fit
to
be
a
patterne
and
mirrour
to
some
of
ours
,
who
haue
Christ
in
our
mouthes
,
and
not
the
least
of
his
Saints
in
our
hearts
.
Besides
the
varietie
of
his
fortunes
disposition
,
bridled
and
brought
to
a
good
inclination
by
the
force
of
his
wisedome
and
goodnesse
,
and
true
experience
of
the
power
of
fortune
:
in
which
discourse
there
is
no
alteration
of
matter
;
the
subiect
being
euer
the
person
of
the
king
,
and
his
excelling
vertues
:
which
I
had
rather
speake
of
,
to
point
out
by
them
the
happinesse
of
his
state
,
then
to
see
a
farre
off
the
miseries
of
some
of
ours
swimming
in
blood
,
full
of
cruell
commandement
,
continuall
accusations
,
false
frendships
,
the
ruine
of
innocents
,
implacable
factions
,
and
pernicious
ends
of
things
:
contrarie
to
that
which
ought
to
be
with
vs
of
a
better
profession
;
and
is
with
those
which
we
despise
.
But
to
returne
to
my
purpose
.
Mahomet-Aga
being
arriued
at
the
Court
:
and
refreshed
some
small
time
,
the
day
of
his
audience
was
honoured
with
all
the
Princes
of
the
kings
Court
,
and
my selfe
being
too
weake
through
my
long
sicknesse
,
the
king
commanded
that
my
brother
should
be
present
also
;
where
after
a
magnificent
oration
of
his
Masters
potencie
in
all
conditions
of
force
,
he
told
the
king
,
Denials
euer
to
such
Potentates
being
receiued
for
maine
offences
;
that
it
was
euer
a
wise
determination
to
yeeld
to
the
authoritie
of
time
,
and
necessitie
,
and
to
auoid
by
that
good
iudgement
,
vrgent
perils
,
and
sinister
conditions
:
nothing
being
a
more
secure
repaire
,
then
to
strike
satle
against
insupportable
tempests
,
it
many
times
happening
that
the
too
great
valour
of
men
vsed
with
too
great
confidence
is
bitterly
persecuted
,
and
sometimes
oppressed
with
an
vnhappie
course
of
fortune
:
against
the
current
of
which
,
when
once
through
error
it
breaketh
,
forth
no
humane
force
,
or
wit
can
make
any
resistance
.
And
because
all
men
for
the
most
part
are
blind
in
discerning
the
iudgement
of
good
or
ill
counsels
,
from
their
end
,
celebrating
them
when
they
prosper
with
a
false
argument
from
the
successe
:
his
Maiestie
should
giue
a
great
example
of
true
wisedome
,
not
to
be
so
much
ouerborne
with
the
present
delight
,
or
future
hopes
,
extracted
from
those
first
prosperous
successes
,
as
not
to
be
able
to
lift
vp
his
eyes
to
see
the
clouds
which
he
had
raised
by
some
of
them
:
which
if
they
were
not
preuented
,
would
break
forth
into
extreme
tempests
.
To
conclude
,
he
said
that
his
Maiestie
must
be
so
farre
from
thinking
to
weaken
his
Maister
by
cunning
and
by
artifice
,
and
so
to
keepe
his
Armes
farre
from
him
;
that
he
must
resolue
such
courses
to
be
seruile
:
and
to
execute
apparantly
and
presently
onely
,
princely
,
and
like
himselfe
;
so
that
eyther
he
must
proue
himselfe
a
friend
,
or
declare
himself
an
enemie
.
The
first
would
merit
any
priuate
grace
,
which
should
be
no
sooner
deserued
then
attained
;
the
other
would
giue
glory
and
honour
to
the
victor
,
euer
deare
and
honest
to
the
winner
,
precipitious
and
shamefull
to
the
looser
.
And
not
speaking
of
the
inuinciblenesse
of
his
Master
,
God
himselfe
would
iudge
the
first
vniust
infringer
of
an
amitie
sworne
to
his
great
name
.
The
King
without
any
thing
mouing
from
his
accustomed
grauitie
,
tempering
the
iustice
of
his
indignation
with
the
true
magnanimitie
of
his
minde
,
answered
him
to
this
effect
.
as
the
greatnesse
of
riches
and
treasure
were
oftentimes
pernicious
to
Princes
;
so
were
abundance
of
men
,
and
largenesse
of
dominions
,
to
such
as
were
too
weake
to
gouerne
them
:
therefore
that
extolling
the
magnificency
of
his
Master
(
which
might
breed
wonder
and
terrour
in
those
who
were
not
capable
of
greatnesse
,
was
no
mouer
of
him
to
decline
from
any
part
of
that
which
belonged
to
his
owne
greatnesse
.
He
had
receiued
the
Courdines
(
oppressed
by
the
tyrannie
of
cruel
ministers
)
into
his
protection
;
and
as
their
comming
to
him
proceeded
of
their
owne
will
,
so
their
returne
from
him
should
be
voluntarie
,
and
not
through
his
constraint
.
Corasan
he
had
iustly
taken
from
an
vsurper
,
and
would
restore
the
lawfull
Prince
,
who
should
receiue
the
benefit
from
his
munificence
:
and
not
from
any
point
of
the
Turks
instance
.
But
wherefore
should
he
be
bound
to
giue
a
stricter
account
of
his
actions
to
the
Turke
,
then
became
equall
Princes
to
aske
the
one
of
the
other
;
as
though
the
lawes
of
ruling
had
but
one
moderator
,
before
whose
tribunall
they
should
be
all
presented
?
Tauris
belonged
to
his
predecessors
;
so
did
Sicruan
,
so
did
Dierbech
;
and
what
iustice
had
his
king
to
detaine
them
?
If
none
other
but
by
the
potencie
of
his
armes
;
the
same
point
of
iustice
he
had
also
to
preserue
what
he
had
alreadie
gotten
:
and
to
vindicate
also
those
vniustly
detained
from
him
.
If
he
will
breake
the
truce
made
betweene
my
father
and
him
,
and
continued
by
my
brother
and
me
,
vpon
so
manifest
vniust
causes
;
as
the
warre
was
neuer
prosperously
prouoked
against
our
state
by
his
predecessors
nor
himselfe
,
but
through
some
strange
accident
,
errour
,
or
our
owne
disunion
:
so
beleeue
that
it
will
now
breake
forth
to
his
owne
destruction
.
Yet
I
doe
not
denie
but
that
I
had
rather
,
both
to
preserue
what
I
haue
,
and
to
recouer
what
my
ancestors
haue
lost
,
by
equitie
then
bloud
;
and
by
the
force
of
reason
,
rather
then
of
armes
:
which
if
I
cannot
,
I
will
certainly
amend
by
vertue
what
I
haue
erred
in
by
cunctation
.
My
power
and
glory
is
yet
soundly
whole
,
and
more
increased
through
the
merit
of
Modestie
,
which
was
neuer
yet
despised
by
the
greatest
which
haue
beene
among
men
:
and
is
esteemed
by
God
himselfe
.
Wresting
of
actes
could
not
deceiue
others
;
which
as
they
were
made
to
God
;
so
the
iudgement
of
their
breaking
or
abusing
would
euer
be
in
God
,
and
his
memorie
,
care
,
and
power
.
For
Mahomet-Aga
himselfe
;
though
he
had
forfeited
the
priuiledges
of
an
Embassador
,
by
executing
vnder
that
title
a
contrarie
office
;
if
I
should
(
said
he
)
presently
and
condignly
punish
you
,
both
the
memory
of
your
present
fortune
(
into
which
pride
and
folly
hath
throwne
you
)
and
my
glory
would
be
darkned
;
and
the
punishment
would
be
followed
with
a
sodaine
forgetfulnesse
;
but
if
I
free
you
(
as
I
will
)
from
your
punishment
,
though
I
cannot
from
the
fault
,
I
shall
be
an
eternall
memorie
to
the
world
of
clemencie
,
and
leaue
you
a
great
precept
eyther
of
more
iudgement
,
or
lesse
imployment
:
vntill
you
can
make
your selfe
fitter
for
such
a
one
as
this
,
to
which
you
haue
beene
vnworthily
elected
.
As
I
said
before
if
he
had
vsed
the
opportunities
(
which
he
had
)
discreetly
,
he
might
haue
done
his
Master
a
notable
seruice
,
and
honoured
himselfe
much
.
Tor
the
kings
great
discontentment
with
those
of
Ormus
,
&
the
strong
opposition
of
most
of
his
counsell
to
any
proposition
against
the
Turke
,
did
facilitate
a
way
for
him
to
haue
fashioned
the
king
to
any
condition
of
firmer
tearmes
with
his
Master
,
then
they
had
hitherto
stood
in
.
And
though
it
was
not
likely
that
there
could
haue
beene
mediated
a
restitution
of
those
Courdines
,
yet
the
losse
of
them
had
beene
smal
,
being
a
people
euer
vnstable
in
any
certaine
habitation
,
neither
hauing
vnderstanding
of
good
,
nor
care
of
ill
;
proper
ministers
onely
of
rapine
,
and
to
possesse
vnproper
places
for
ciuiller
inhabitants
:
and
he
might
easily
haue
procured
a
restraint
that
none
other
hereafter
should
haue
done
the
like
;
if
he
had
propounded
it
from
his
Master
,
disobliged
him
to
the
king
of
Persia
,
and
restored
the
peoples
minds
to
their
first
dependance
,
being
a
Nation
,
though
otherwise
of
doubtfull
faith
,
both
through
their
owne
nature
,
and
situation
of
their
countrie
,
yet
more
inclined
to
the
Turke
then
any
both
by
the
bond
of
the
same
religion
,
and
hatred
to
the
Persians
.
The
next
morning
the
king
came
vnto
me
,
and
after
some
other
discourses
,
Anthony
Sherley
.
he
told
me
he
had
well
considered
of
my
proposition
,
which
though
otherwise
he
had
no
great
inclination
vnto
,
both
,
because
of
the
great
separation
by
distance
,
and
difficult
meanes
of
correspondencie
,
which
could
be
made
betweene
the
Princes
Christian
&
himselfe
,
besides
the
small
necessitie
he
had
of
them
,
(
God
hauing
giuen
him
so
ample
,
so
rich
,
and
so
warlike
a
dominion
)
and
if
he
had
,
their
owne
disunion
amongst
themselues
gaue
him
small
hope
of
any
great
good
effect
in
what
he
should
propound
vnto
them
:
Besides
the
derogation
from
his
own
greatnesse
to
be
a
demander
of
their
amitie
,
whose
predecessors
had
sought
it
of
his
by
diuers
meanes
,
and
vpon
great
conditions
.
Yet
to
shew
me
how
deare
an
estimation
he
held
of
me
,
he
was
contented
not
to
see
what
belonged
to
himselfe
,
but
onely
to
regard
my
satisfaction
:
which
he
willed
me
to
determine
of
,
and
assured
me
of
the
effecting
of
it
whatsoeuer
it
was
.
And
after
I
had
giuen
his
Maiestie
thanks
which
were
conuenient
for
so
high
a
fauour
,
Anthony
Sherley
c●●firmeth
the
King
in
hi●
purpos●
of
sending
to
the
Princes
of
Christendom
.
I
told
him
that
I
had
propounded
nothing
but
that
which
the
future
experience
,
and
present
reason
of
things
would
proue
not
onely
infinitely
auaileable
,
but
also
necessarie
for
his
honour
,
profit
and
securitie
:
to
which
counsell
I
was
readie
and
desirous
to
adde
my
owne
perill
,
which
could
by
no
other
meanes
bring
an
answerable
benefit
to
the
greatnesse
of
itselfe
,
but
onely
in
the
true
estimation
which
I
made
of
the
merit
of
his
Maiesties
vertue
,
and
my
infinite
affection
to
his
seruice
.
The
necessitie
of
his
state
,
I
knew
eyther
counselled
him
to
prouide
for
a
warre
;
or
to
make
a
warre
:
Priuate
cogitations
hauing
their
progresse
of
such
a
condition
,
that
they
may
take
(
as
themselues
will
)
eyther
more
of
lesse
of
fortune
;
but
those
which
had
raised
their
thoughts
to
the
sublimitie
of
dominion
are
no
more
in
their
owne
power
:
hauing
no
meane
to
step
vpon
betweene
the
highest
of
all
,
and
precipitation
.
For
his
Maiestie
to
sleepe
longer
,
called
vpon
by
so
maine
reasons
which
did
euidently
demonstrate
vnto
him
the
ineuitable
danger
,
(
if
not
raine
)
of
his
state
,
and
contrariwise
,
the
certaine
addition
which
his
maiestie
might
make
to
his
glory
and
state
,
would
seeme
to
those
that
did
not
rightly
vnderstand
the
excellencie
of
his
Maiesties
heart
,
such
a
weakenesse
in
him
,
as
is
incident
to
those
which
haue
not
power
to
temper
felicitie
,
from
glutting
themselues
with
the
abundant
fruites
of
present
prosperitie
;
though
they
haue
a
patient
forced
vigour
to
withstand
aduersitie
.
That
the
Turke
was
to
bee
vanquished
,
his
owne
Rebelles
had
shewed
,
which
haue
ouercome
with
small
forces
his
great
power
in
sundrie
encounters
.
If
his
Militia
hath
had
heretofore
more
vigour
and
valour
;
it
is
now
changed
through
pleasure
,
ease
,
and
surfetinges
by
(
their
Princes
example
)
with
great
corruptions
;
which
a
more
vertuous
Prince
may
reduce
to
their
soundnesse
:
his
Maiesties
wisedome
should
worke
immediately
vppon
the
present
generall
defect
and
errour
.
Neyther
should
hee
make
a
proportionable
concurrence
betweene
his
factes
,
and
wisedome
,
if
he
did
loose
time
in
doubtfull
deliberations
,
in
such
a
case
which
did
euidently
shew
him
that
if
he
might
securely
continue
in
peace
,
yet
that
peace
was
more
pernicious
vnto
him
then
warre
:
leesing
so
many
fayre
occasions
of
propagating
his
Empyre
,
and
making
his
estate
eternally
inuincible
,
and
to
dangerous
to
bee
attempted
againe
by
the
Turke
:
when
there
should
bee
so
equall
a
ballance
of
potencie
,
as
would
bee
betweene
them
,
but
by
the
recouerie
of
his
owne
,
if
his
desire
and
fortune
,
and
vertue
disposed
no
more
vnto
him
then
that
which
was
iustly
his
owne
,
and
was
vniustly
deteyned
from
him
.
For
those
rebellions
of
the
Turkes
they
were
likely
rather
to
increase
then
diminish
:
such
manner
of
people
euermore
easily
consenting
in
vnitie
,
in
warre
,
then
in
peace
to
be
commaunded
,
or
yeeld
obedience
:
And
the
greatest
powers
which
are
,
haue
beene
,
or
may
bee
,
which
vnited
beare
all
before
them
,
the
violence
of
their
strength
,
once
diuided
eyther
by
time
,
by
patience
,
or
by
diuersitie
of
fortune
,
(
which
cannot
bee
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
alike
)
may
bee
and
are
subuerted
.
The
warre
it selfe
will
open
and
disclose
many
hidden
and
swelling
wounds
,
which
are
now
onely
couered
by
ignorance
,
and
others
detracting
of
their
determination
.
And
though
it
be
true
that
the
Princes
Christian
be
farre
deuided
;
and
some
of
them
incombred
with
particular
designes
amongst
themselues
,
through
the
passions
of
their
priuate
interests
;
yet
the
Emperour
(
who
is
the
greatest
in
title
,
and
by
his
alliance
of
the
most
power
)
is
already
ingaged
against
the
Turke
:
which
warre
hee
will
more
or
lesse
prosecute
according
as
hee
shall
haue
more
or
lesse
hopes
.
And
what
greater
(
almost
assurance
of
prosperous
successe
can
be
haue
then
the
coniunction
with
your
Maiestie
,
whose
power
and
vertues
hee
shall
know
?
And
the
mouing
of
both
your
ends
being
the
same
can
loose
no
propertie
in
their
working
,
by
the
large
separation
or
distinction
of
places
.
The
Pope
also
(
who
carrieth
a
Supreme
authoritie
among
Princes
to
mooue
them
to
those
thinges
which
shall
best
preserue
,
or
augment
the
limits
of
his
Church
)
animated
by
your
Maiesties
great
name
and
offer
;
will
assuredly
vse
the
vttermost
of
the
strength
,
of
his
authoritie
,
and
industrie
,
to
reconcile
all
particular
enmities
,
and
to
combine
all
hearts
to
that
Generall
warre
,
in
which
euerie
particular
is
truly
much
interessed
;
if
they
consider
their
conscience
to
their
profession
,
and
the
danger
wherewith
they
all
haue
beene
threatned
,
by
that
great
Enemies
potencie
:
diuers
Princes
hauing
alreadie
by
it
suffered
the
vttermost
of
ruine
.
Neither
shall
your
Maiestie
despaire
,
but
that
all
may
be
perswaded
to
so
honourable
and
pious
an
action
being
a
propertie
in
mans
nature
to
follow
,
that
which
hath
beene
contrarie
to
their
disposition
to
begin
:
And
if
they
all
should
not
;
yet
the
Emperour
,
Pope
,
and
King
of
Spaine
absolutely
will
embrace
the
amitie
,
honour
the
name
of
your
Maiestie
,
and
vnite
themselues
in
any
termes
of
Princely
alliance
:
and
your
Maiestie
shall
haue
an
eternall
glorie
amongst
all
;
for
inviting
them
all
to
so
Noble
,
Generous
and
Royall
an
action
:
and
at
the
least
,
draw
great
intercourse
of
Merchants
of
all
those
parts
;
which
will
giue
an
entrance
to
a
kinde
of
sociablenesse
,
and
that
will
proceed
to
a
common
respect
,
and
so
to
a
mutuall
friendship
which
will
giue
the
communication
and
knowledge
of
many
things
hidden
(
both
in
the
knowledge
,
vse
and
profit
of
them
)
for
want
of
such
an
intercourse
.
Your
Maiestie
also
wisely
desireth
to
take
away
all
reputation
from
the
Turkish
Religion
,
through
your
Dominions
,
both
by
scandalizing
it
publikly
,
&
punishing
it
in
particular
persons
:
Sithence
Heresie
in
all
Religion
causeth
Diuision
,
&
the
corrupted
part
becommeth
a
pernicious
enemie
to
the
Prince
who
supporteth
the
contrarie
;
From
it
arise
as
from
a
maine
turbulent
Spring
,
Treasons
,
Conspiracies
,
secret
Conventicles
,
and
Seditions
.
Besides
the
greatest
and
largest
way
,
which
the
Turke
hath
into
your
Dominions
,
is
the
faction
of
his
Sect
;
as
Ismael
your
Predecessor
had
,
of
that
which
your
Majestie
professeth
,
to
deuide
your
state
from
him
:
He
is
an
absolute
and
Tyrannous
enemie
to
the
Christians
;
Your
Maiesties
Religion
,
hath
a
charitable
opinion
of
them
:
and
if
drinking
of
Wine
,
burning
of
their
Prophets
Images
,
and
such
lesse
apparances
be
in
your
Maiesties
opinion
effectuall
things
to
estrange
the
peoples
heartes
from
that
Religion
,
by
a
contrarie
vse
,
with
those
opprobries
,
to
the
other
;
a
greater
meanes
your
Maiestie
may
worke
by
:
in
giuing
libertie
of
Christian
Religion
,
so
much
abhorred
of
their
part
,
and
securitie
of
trade
,
goods
and
person
to
Christians
,
by
which
you
shall
bind
their
Princes
,
expresse
the
charitie
of
your
Law
,
serue
your selfe
in
diuers
thinges
of
them
which
haue
been
hidden
vnto
you
,
both
for
your
vtilitie
,
strength
and
pleasure
:
and
more
invre
your
people
to
despise
the
other
Religion
,
by
so
contrarie
,
so
apparant
and
so
great
effect
.
Neither
can
they
euer
bee
dangerous
to
your
Maiestie
,
their
increase
being
alwayes
to
be
limited
by
your
will
.
This
also
will
giue
your
Maiestie
great
fame
,
since
by
their
meanes
you
shall
recouer
auaileable
instruments
both
to
preserue
and
augment
your
estate
by
:
as
Founders
of
Ordinance
,
Makers
of
all
sortes
of
Armes
,
and
Munition
.
So
that
though
it
may
seeme
a
strange
act
in
your
Maiestie
to
bee
contented
to
inlarge
to
Christians
,
so
new
and
so
great
a
fauour
,
yet
since
all
great
examples
euer
haue
in
them
some
thing
of
an
extraordinarie
qualitie
,
those
are
to
bee
made
vse
of
that
repaire
by
publique
profit
,
those
particular
disgusts
which
priuate
men
may
receiue
of
them
:
I
know
that
it
is
for
the
most
part
a
fallacious
ambition
which
imbraceth
greedily
new
and
dangerous
thinges
;
but
to
determine
and
execute
fit
and
conuenient
thinges
,
is
the
proper
effect
of
wisedome
and
courage
.
Your
Maiestie
knoweth
your
present
estate
,
remembreth
the
courses
of
the
times
past
;
and
the
excellencie
of
your
iudgment
weigheth
,
that
which
may
succeede
hereafter
.
No
man
receiueth
harme
but
from
himselfe
;
nor
your
Majestie
can
suffer
none
but
from
that
which
your selfe
wil
determine
of
your selfe
:
you
are
inuited
to
no
act
depending
vpon
fortune
,
but
such
a
one
as
shal
haue
his
fundation
vpon
Councel
,
reason
,
and
iudgment
.
My
satisfaction
shall
be
aboue
all
other
greatest
if
your
Maiestie
resolue
of
that
which
will
bee
most
secure
,
honourable
and
commodious
for
your
person
,
state
,
and
particular
Subjects
.
Well
said
the
King
you
would
then
haue
me
to
write
to
as
many
of
the
Christian
Princes
as
are
greatest
amongst
them
,
Anthony
Sherley
as
his
Embassador
.
who
if
they
will
apply
themselues
to
our
purpose
may
draw
all
other
lesser
vnto
it
,
by
the
example
of
their
authoritie
;
or
at
the
least
(
if
they
will
not
consent
in
that
point
)
wil
command
their
Marchants
to
repaire
to
our
Dominions
:
so
that
we
and
they
may
haue
some
good
friendly
vse
the
one
of
the
other
.
The
letters
you
shall
appoint
to
be
written
to
as
many
and
to
whom
,
you
will
;
with
priuiledge
for
Marchants
,
and
the
secure
profession
of
their
Religion
and
peaceable
possession
of
their
goods
,
and
persons
,
in
as
ample
sort
as
your selfe
will
deuise
;
and
not
onely
for
them
but
for
al
Christians
whatsoeuer
,
which
for
curiositie
to
see
,
or
loue
to
me
,
wil
take
pains
to
come
hither
;
or
for
any
purpose
so
euer
:
being
impossible
their
purpose
can
at
anie
time
bee
ill
towards
vs
,
which
wish
them
in
all
things
so
well
.
And
because
you
haue
been
the
Mouer
and
Perswader
of
this
businesse
,
you
also
shal
be
the
Actor
of
it
,
assuring
my selfe
that
my
Honour
cannot
be
more
securely
reposed
many
mans
hands
,
then
your
own
:
both
in
that
I
iudge
of
your
owne
disposition
;
and
more
,
in
that
which
I
know
of
your
obligation
to
me
;
besides
,
There
is
none
so
proper
an
Executor
of
any
enterprise
,
Anthony
Sherley
Sherley
acceptance
of
the
employment
.
as
hee
which
is
the
first
deuiser
of
it
:
I
humbly
thanked
his
Maiestie
for
his
confidence
;
and
excused
my
inhabilitie
to
performe
so
great
a
charge
;
Many
men
being
more
fitte
to
propound
then
to
execute
:
That
requiring
a
particular
valour
and
experience
,
which
I
had
not
.
Notwithstanding
,
since
I
would
not
giue
his
Maiestie
cause
to
suspect
,
that
I
had
intimated
such
a
thing
vnto
him
,
as
either
was
so
dangerous
to
carry
,
or
impossible
to
effect
,
that
I
durst
not
for
those
causes
vndertake
it
:
I
would
onely
beseech
of
his
Maiestie
one
of
his
Princes
,
either
to
be
my
superior
or
equall
in
the
Ambassage
,
or
such
a
one
as
might
be
absolutely
my
inferior
,
for
a
testimony
,
onely
of
my
assured
comming
from
his
Maiestie
.
The
first
I
did
require
because
equall
authority
where
there
is
the
selfe
same
power
,
is
commonly
pernitions
to
all
actions
,
being
impossible
to
fit
two
minds
of
so
evē
a
temper
,
that
they
should
not
haue
some
motions
of
dissenting
.
Yet
if
I
must
be
ioyned
,
through
the
gratious
fauour
of
his
Maiesty
(
who
had
no
more
end
of
his
honouring
me
,
then
my
affection
had
in
seruing
him
:
)
I
desired
it
might
beee
a
noble
man
,
whose
mind
being
made
to
greatnes
could
not
feele
the
ill
working
of
a
sudden
alteration
.
The
last
I
required
,
not
,
that
such
a
one
could
hold
any
condition
in
the
former
reason
,
but
as
an
Armor
against
enuie
and
malice
:
beeing
a
thing
incident
,
and
almost
certaine
in
all
mens
natures
to
behold
with
sore
eyes
the
new
growne
felicitie
of
others
,
and
to
exact
a
sharpe
account
of
their
fortunes
,
especially
in
home
they
haue
seene
,
either
inferiour
,
or
in
equalitie
with
themselues
.
All
which
hee
promised
:
commended
my
reason
and
prouidence
in
that
point
;
and
offering
also
presents
of
great
valew
,
and
worth
to
accompanie
his
Letters
,
which
should
be
goodly
Carpets
,
Swords
and
Daggers
couered
with
Gold
,
and
Iewels
,
Plumes
according
to
their
Countrey
fashion
,
and
other
things
worthy
to
be
esteemed
,
both
for
the
price
and
rarenesse
.
Then
he
told
me
I
must
recouer
my selfe
,
strengthen
my
minde
and
come
abroad
,
that
hee
might
feast
mee
before
my
departure
.
And
though
it
is
likely
that
the
disposition
of
the
World
(
euermore
inclined
to
detraction
,
then
to
a
generous
beholding
of
mens
actions
)
will
in
the
iniquitie
of
that
nature
,
hardly
beleeue
the
magnificent
fashion
of
that
King
held
towards
me
then
in
all
points
,
and
confirmed
by
his
infinite
Royall
fauour
,
continued
and
increased
to
my
brother
now
:
Yet
the
act
he
did
,
doth
plainely
demonstrate
,
part
of
the
one
,
and
amongst
Honourable
minds
,
I
shall
be
beleeued
for
the
rest
.
And
though
that
viper
of
malice
which
I
so
much
feared
,
did
bite
me
in
a
maine
member
of
my
Honour
,
and
infeebled
it
so
much
,
that
it
remained
lame
from
being
able
to
passe
forward
in
that
pase
of
reputation
,
which
so
great
a
labour
,
so
many
dangers
,
so
great
an
enterprise
,
and
so
pious
an
action
merited
;
yet
it
is
impossible
that
malice
it selfe
,
much
lesse
the
infusion
of
it
in
wicked
spirits
can
take
from
me
,
the
true
knowledge
to
this
time
,
and
memorie
to
posteritie
,
that
I
was
a
zealous
author
of
so
Christianlike
a
purpose
:
They
much
mistaking
my
mind
,
which
iudged
it
rather
capable
and
desirous
of
apparant
then
the
true
substance
of
things
;
though
it
be
true
that
euerie
man
will
contend
for
both
,
when
both
are
his
right
.
For
thirty
dayes
continuallie
,
the
King
made
that
feast
in
a
great
garden
of
more
then
two
miles
compasse
,
two
great
fortunes
,
Two
great
fortunes
which
befell
the
king
during
his
feast
.
1.
The
submission
of
the
Tartars
to
his
Crowne
.
which
gaue
themselues
at
that
time
to
the
King
;
which
were
these
:
The
Tartars
of
Buckehawrd
,
(
which
haue
euer
beene
of
greatest
reputation
amongst
all
those

with

to
intrude

In
this
time
came
vnto
me
a
Portingal
Frier
,
named
Alphonso
Cordero
,
Franciscans
Secular
,
and
an
other
Armenian
Frier
of
Ierusalem
,
with
a
message
from
an
other
Frier
of
better
estimation
,
called
Nichola
Di-Meto
:
the
effect
of
which
was
this
,
that
hee
had
beene
Inquisitor
generall
of
the
Indies
,
and
his
time
being
finished
,
as
also
,
hauing
receiued
commandement
from
the
Pope
and
King
of
Spain
to
return
,
&
for
som
other
important
causes
to
the
christianity
of
these
parts
not
being
willing
to
attend
the
tedious
voyage
of
the
Porting
all
Fleet
by
sea
,
chose
rather
the
hassard
to
goe
ouer
Land
:
to
which
he
was
the
more
animated
hauing
heard
of
the
fauour
and
estimation
which
certaine
Christians
held
in
that
Court
,
which
hee
did
not
doubt
would
Christian-like
honour
him
,
being
so
great
an
instrument
of
the
Church
,
and
of
so
great
a
Potentate
as
the
King
of
Spaine
.
For
though
wee
were
English
and
hee
Portugese
,
and
by
the
priuate
interresses
of
our
Princes
,
their
names
were
made
enemies
in
the
ordinary
sort
of
our
Nation
,
Yet
Religious
men
were
euer
priuiledged
,
from
common
malice
;
and
that
place
which
was
opposite
of
it selfe
to
the
profession
of
Christ
,
would
be
a
perswading
argument
enough
,
for
any
Noble
or
Pious
mind
,
to
honour
,
in
all
persons
our
oppressed
faith
,
without
regarding
the
title
or
Countrie
of
the
profession
thereof
.
But
when
hee
came
,
though
this
insinuation
of
his
were
like
a
good
meane
;
and
shewed
to
proceed
from
the
best
condition
of
spirits
;
Yet
hee
did
so
much
degenerate
from
the
name
of
a
Christian
,
much
more
of
a
Religious
man
,
of
a
true
Subject
to
his
Prince
,
and
of
a
Pious
wisher
to
those
thinges
which
tended
to
the
generall
good
of
the
whole
Common-wealth
of
Christendome
,
that
he
forgat
not
only
the
honour
which
I
had
freely
,
and
with
a
good
heart
done
him
(
waking
againe
the
names
of
those
enmities
which
he
desired
to
haue
suppressed
)
at
the
first
secretly
,
at
the
last
openly
,
setting
forth
many
pretences
against
mee
:
which
if
it
had
proceeded
from
the
ordinarie
imperfections
of
nature
,
(
which
runneth
more
headingly
to
the
reuenge
of
iniuries
euen
in
opinion
,
then
to
the
recordation
of
essentiall
and
ciuill
benefits
:
gracious
acts
being
a
burden
,
reuenge
esteemed
a
game
to
vs
)
though
the
cause
of
it
had
proceeded
from
that
imperfection
had
beene
ill
;
yet
being
naturall
it
,
had
beene
somewhat
tollerable
:
and
if
he
had
not
also
added
to
that
fault
another
inexcusable
one
,
not
onely
to
neglect
,
but
euen
to
despise
all
those
other
greater
duties
:
which
if
they
bound
him
not
in
affection
;
yet
they
must
haue
bound
in
awfulnesse
and
feare
any
Creature
,
which
had
not
beene
vtterly
giuen
ouer
to
the
worst
temptations
of
the
wicked
spirit
,
and
enemie
to
Mankind
and
substantiall
subuertor
of
all
godly
purposes
.
For
I
(
though
otherwise
vnobliged
)
willing
in
the
beginning
of
the
foundation
which
the
King
permitted
me
to
lay
,
of
God
his
true
knowledge
in
those
parts
,
to
shew
all
deuout
respects
to
God
and
to
all
his
Ministers
and
knowing
that
the
name
of
diuision
amongst
our selues
,
would
but
scandalize
all
)
vsed
him
with
all
those
duties
and
reuerences
which
I
could
possibly
deuise
,
or
any
ambitious
heart
could
desire
:
which
gaue
(
as
it
fell
out
)
but
a
freer
passage
to
the
iniquitie
of
his
soule
;
to
my
great
griefe
,
preiudice
of
the
estimation
in
those
parts
of
Religious
men
,
and
to
the
most
infinite
affliction
of
the
other
Franciscan
,
that
can
be
expressed
;
he
being
certainely
a
good
man
,
and
as
farre
as
his
vnderstanding
guided
him
zealous
to
perswade
others
to
be
so
,
helping
to
expresse
by
a
sincere
and
holy
example
of
life
what
he
wanted
in
discourse
.
But
vbi
Dei
numen
praetenditur
sceleribus
,
subit
animum
timor
,
ne
fraudibus
humanis
vindicandis
,
diuini
iuris
aliquid
immixtum
violemus
.
For
which
reason
I
will
say
only
this
:
that
to
free
my selfe
from
the
vnexpected
crosses
which
daily
rose
against
my
businesse
,
I
pressed
the
King
as
hotly
(
as
ciuilly
I
could
)
for
my
dispatch
:
which
hee
granted
me
at
the
thirtie
daies
end
:
hauing
appointed
Assan
,
Chan
a
gallant
young
Prince
to
goe
with
mee
:
so
complete
in
all
worthie
graces
that
if
God
had
pleased
,
that
he
had
proceeded
in
the
busines
,
he
had
brought
great
Honor
to
the
King
,
reputation
to
his
Countrie
,
&
had
established
the
affaires
to
the
vniuersall
good
of
the
World
.
But
the
beginnings
of
all
great
things
being
deriued
from
God
,
so
their
ends
are
either
perfected
or
disanulled
by
his
determination
.
For
though
nature
hath
giuen
vs
as
men
great
and
excellent
faculties
,
yet
GOD
will
haue
vs
know
,
and
acknowledge
him
to
be
GOD
:
and
that
nothing
is
properly
our
own
,
or
gotten
by
our
owne
power
but
giuen
vs
onely
through
his
munificencie
.
And
therefore
peraduenture
,
Anthony
Sherley
ouerthrowne
by
his
owne
Instrument
.
GOD
would
not
so
much
satisfie
the
pride
which
the
very
loue
of
affecting
so
great
and
glorious
a
businesse
had
swolne
me
in
:
but
made
mee
my selfe
find
an
instrument
to
ouerthrow
my
labours
and
wrestle
against
my
proceedings
(
which
durst
not
almost
stand
in
my
presence
)
and
forced
me
to
aske
him
of
the
King
,
and
to
bee
the
Authour
of
my
owne
harme
.
So
strangely
doth
God
correct
the
errours
and
sinnes
of
our
humanities
,
and
taketh
from
the
strong
imagination
:
which
stirre
in
vs
(
through
the
innated
iniquitie
of
our
hearts
.
)
the
thoughts
of
any
other
causes
of
those
inflictions
,
then
that
true
working
of
his
verie
iudgements
:
by
which
wee
may
see
if
we
will
not
be
obstinate
against
ourselues
,
that
the
full
vse
of
those
things
which
wee
possesse
,
the
very
light
which
wee
enioy
,
the
spaces
of
the
Earth
which
our
feet
tread
ouer
,
whatsoeuer
we
can
doe
,
say
,
or
thinke
,
is
raised
,
distributed
and
guided
,
by
God
his
counsell
,
will
and
prouidence
.
For
when
it
was
concluded
that
Assan
Chan
should
go
,
and
his
prouisions
were
all
ready
,
my
commission
and
parent
(
for
the
principall
points
of
my
businesse
)
sealed
;
the
King
married
him
to
an
Aunt
of
his
much
against
his
Princes
wil
and
more
to
my
griefe
;
none
other
of
the
great
ones
hauing
a
spirit
to
apprehend
only
such
a
voyage
,
much
lesse
a
heart
to
performe
it
.
So
that
being
instantly
sued
to
by
Cuchin-Allibi
a
Courtchie
of
sixe
Thomans
stipend
by
the
yeare
,
and
in
disgrace
also
,
for
some
ill
part
that
he
had
plaied
,
I
(
pressed
thereunto
by
the
Viseir
and
Bastan
Aga
)
spake
vnto
the
king
that
he
might
goe
with
me
,
in
the
forme
onely
of
a
testimonie
,
though
honoured
with
some
good
words
in
the
letters
,
for
the
bettter
reputation
of
the
businesse
:
which
the
King
was
exceeding
backward
in
consenting
vnto
,
desiring
me
eyther
to
goe
alone
,
or
better
accompanied
.
The
last
I
told
him
lay
in
his
Maiesties
power
to
command
;
the
other
I
could
not
doe
,
and
promise
him
,
or
hope
my selfe
for
good
successe
:
nothing
being
more
fraile
then
such
a
reputation
(
as
would
suddenly
grow
by
such
a
businesse
)
vnsupported
by
any
sort
of
strength
,
so
that
it
would
be
an
obiect
for
all
sort
of
malice
to
worke
vppon
,
his
Maiestie
being
too
farre
remoued
to
giue
iust
proofe
of
my
imployment
from
him
,
if
it
should
be
opposed
.
And
the
more
strange
it
was
,
and
lesse
hoped
for
,
as
it
would
be
the
more
ioyfully
embraced
by
the
good
.
So
it
would
giue
the
more
colour
and
strength
to
bad
mindes
against
me
.
At
the
last
(
I
think
through
the
secret
working
of
those
which
were
euer
enemies
to
the
proceeding
of
this
businesse
,
&
the
maine
scarcitie
of
others
which
had
minds
fit
for
such
imployment
,
&
qualities
also
fit
for
such
minds
.
)
I
was
vrged
to
take
that
fellow
,
&
the
king
content
to
let
him
go
.
But
would
bestow
on
him
no
more
then
50.
Tomans
for
the
whole
expense
:
which
he
called
also
cast
away
.
Him
I
left
to
bring
the
appointed
present
after
me
;
and
the
letters
to
the
particular
Princes
;
which
were
then
readie
at
my
departure
not
sealed
,
and
the
present
not
throughly
prouided
:
my selfe
desiring
to
free
my selfe
from
the
Court
,
where
euery
occasion
was
receiued
by
those
which
were
contrarie
to
the
enterprise
to
hinder
it
.
After
I
had
taken
my
leaue
of
the
king
,
the
morning
before
my
departure
he
came
to
finde
me
againe
at
my
house
:
Robert
Sherley
.
and
after
a
little
other
speech
he
said
vnto
me
,
that
my
absence
from
him
would
exceedingly
griue
him
,
his
affection
to
me
being
true
,
and
his
hopes
of
me
many
.
If
he
had
beene
furnished
of
any
sit
to
haue
vndergone
the
mannagement
of
this
affaire
,
he
would
neuer
haue
enioyned
me
to
so
much
trauaile
,
and
so
many
perils
,
but
that
I
knew
his
Court
to
be
ignorant
of
the
language
and
properties
of
our
parts
,
and
since
he
was
prouoked
by
me
to
send
thither
,
he
knew
that
I
would
be
contented
with
my
labour
to
keepe
him
,
and
his
from
all
sorts
of
scorne
.
That
my
brother
was
young
,
and
therefore
the
more
to
be
tendered
,
and
not
euery
day
to
be
exposed
to
new
labours
:
his
loue
to
vs
both
made
him
carefull
in
that
point
,
but
more
particularly
his
infinite
desire
of
my
returne
;
which
hee
thought
would
be
more
assured
by
so
deare
a
pawne
:
And
by
daily
relation
which
I
should
receiue
of
his
royall
vsage
,
I
should
also
be
daily
inuited
to
returne
howsoeuer
.
If
I
met
with
such
fortunes
as
would
be
worthy
to
make
me
stay
from
him
;
or
such
accidents
as
had
power
to
hinder
me
by
their
necessitie
;
the
company
of
my
brother
should
giue
him
great
satisfaction
in
my
absence
.
And
if
the
worst
should
happen
vnto
me
,
he
did
desire
euer
to
haue
a
subiect
so
neare
vnto
me
,
vpon
whom
he
might
make
a
declaration
vnto
the
world
,
both
of
what
qualitie
his
owne
minde
was
;
and
of
what
condition
his
true
and
royall
affection
towards
me
was
.
Before
I
could
answere
this
infinite
fauourable
and
and
gracious
speech
of
his
:
my
Brother
(
whose
mind
,
euer
disposed
him
to
the
best
things
)
hauing
by
his
owne
nature
,
and
excellent
spirit
(
which
in
his
younger
yeares
he
bettered
with
higher
studies
,
not
as
many
who
vnder
a
magnificent
title
,
loue
slouthfull
idlenesse
,
but
vsing
them
in
their
true
propertie
)
to
confirme
our
ordinarie
weaknesse
against
the
tempests
of
fortune
,
and
to
learne
by
the
goodly
precepts
of
wise
men
,
that
which
the
frailtie
of
mans
constitution
blindeth
from
our
sight
:
and
to
esteeme
onely
good
that
which
is
honest
,
and
euill
those
things
which
do
participate
with
viciousnesse
.
And
though
hee
might
ar●ogate
as
m●ch
to
the
Nobilitie
of
his
bloud
,
as
the
best
borne
Gentleman
may
,
Anton
,
Sherleys
com●●ndation
of
his
brother
Sir
Robert
Sherley
.
yet
(
euer
making
estimation
of
that
,
and
other
such
qualified
ornaments
as
were
without
the
minde
,
neither
to
be
accounted
amongst
the
speciall
good
or
ill
things
which
a
man
should
truly
behold
in
himselfe
)
he
hath
and
doth
contend
more
with
himself
to
be
worthie
of
the
best
titles
,
then
to
be
esteemed
by
those
he
hath
,
contemning
equally
riches
and
superfluitie
,
and
pouertie
which
groweth
by
a
mans
owne
vice
:
being
stedfast
and
iust
in
good
things
,
and
constant
against
all
feare
:
and
if
he
bee
guided
by
the
height
of
his
minde
to
striue
with
more
feruour
then
warinesse
,
for
glorie
and
reputation
,
the
best
iudging
sort
of
the
world
know
that
the
couetousnes
of
that
point
of
eternitie
is
the
last
appetite
which
the
wisest
men
dispoile
themselues
of
.
Neyther
am
I
induced
to
celebrate
so
much
the
memorie
of
so
many
vertues
as
I
know
in
him
,
because
he
is
my
brother
:
but
absolutely
am
led
vnto
it
without
fauour
or
ambition
,
by
the
perswasion
onely
of
a
good
conscience
,
for
the
sole
merite
and
reward
of

That
minde
I
say
of
his
euer
counselled
by
such
thoughts
,
apprehending
that
his
staying
with
the
king
,
might
be
of
wonderfull
effect
,
to
keepe
his
minde
constant
in
the
resolution
which
hee
had
taken
:
and
gessing
at
many
occasions
which
might
happen
in
my
absence
,
the
well
vsing
of
which
might
confirme
him
more
:
some
also
if
they
were
not
tempered
might
coole
his
resolutions
(
which
he
knew
to
be
taken
rather
to
satisfie
me
,
and
with
an
intent
to
see
the
successe
of
the
proceeding
of
things
,
then
a
more
constant
determination
)
answered
the
king
,
Robert
Sherleys
answere
to
the
King
of
Persia.
presently
thus
.
That
our
two
soules
were
so
vnitely
conioyned
,
that
our
willes
were
diuided
in
nothing
,
our
affections
to
his
Maiestie
,
and
our
desires
to
serue
him
were
the
same
,
and
such
as
they
could
not
be
separated
from
his
commandements
.
And
though
the
promise
of
fauours
from
him
which
could
command
,
did
bring
euer
with
it
the
force
of
necessitie
,
yet
we
both
were
so
cleare
in
the
iudgement
of
the
royall
disposition
of
his
Maiestie
that
he
would
neither
absolutely
will
,
nor
seeme
to
desire
of
vs
any
thing
but
that
which
should
bee
honourable
for
his
authoritie
,
and
conuenient
for
our
obedience
to
bee
done
by
vs
.
The
parting
of
both
our
bodies
from
his
presence
was
nothing
,
in
respect
of
our
best
parts
which
euer
should
attend
his
Maiestie
with
vowes
,
and
profers
,
and
wishes
which
were
worthy
to
proceede
from
his
true
seruants
and
friends
.
And
as
worthy
of
his
infinite
vertues
.
But
because
hee
did
desire
to
haue
one
of
vs
which
was
himself
to
remaine
with
him
,
he
would
doe
it
,
and
giue
his
Maiestie
so
much
greater
occasion
to
loue
vs
both
by
that
effect
of
vertue
which
he
should
proue
in
him
,
tempering
the
necessitie
of
his
passion
,
for
his
Maiesties
satisfaction
,
&
better
purposes
which
time
&
such
occasions
as
must
needs
be
brought
forth
,
should
shew
his
Maiestie
.
Neyther
did
he
incline
at
all
to
doe
this
for
any
feeling
which
he
would
haue
in
that
point
of
his
Maiesties
munificences
promised
,
but
onely
for
the
sensiblenesse
of
doing
well
which
hee
thought
and
knew
he
should
do
by
obeying
his
Maiestie
in
that
commaunding
request
.
Hee
did
confesse
notwithstanding
that
the
world
could
not
lay
vpon
him
a
greater
aduersitie
,
then
to
be
separated
from
me
:
yet
he
would
neuer
bee
so
broken
with
any
fortune
,
(
though
it
should
rise
from
other
causes
)
as
to
loose
the
least
title
of
the
dignitie
of
his
minde
.
His
yeares
were
but
few
,
but
neyther
gray
heires
nor
wrinckles
should
(
with
so
wise
an
vnderstanding
iudgement
as
his
Maiesties
)
giue
more
authoritie
to
any
then
the
good
fruites
proceeding
from
an
honest
and
vertuous
spending
of
the
time
which
a
man
hath
passed
:
hee
did
desire
no
more
fauour
with
his
Maiestie
for
his
staying
then
his
other
merits
should
bee
worthie
of
:
yet
because
hee
was
left
alone
without
other
comfort
then
what
his
owne
heart
gaue
him
,
hee
would
bee
confident
that
his
Maiestie
would
not
forget
what
hee
owed
to
himselfe
as
a
Prince
,
nor
to
him
as
a
Gentleman
which
had
freely
matched
obedience
with
affection
.
What
my
brother
shall
effect
with
the
Princes
Christian
,
as
it
is
a
thing
vncertaine
;
so
he
nor
I
will
promise
any
thing
:
but
I
know
he
will
industriate
himselfe
to
his
vttermost
for
your
Maiesties
honour
and
seruice
,
and
I
will
hope
well
of
the
end
of
his
labours
.
In
the
meane
time
I
beseech
God
,
since
the
Turkes
loue
cannot
apply
it selfe
by
no
meanes
to
your
Maiestie
,
that
their
hatreds
may
continue
one
against
the
other
:
no
destiny
being
able
to
vrge
faster
forward
the
greatnesse
of
your
Dominion
,
nor
no
fortune
being
of
more
validity
to
make
an
euen
way
vnto
it
,
then
the
amity
of
our
Princes
,
and
eternall
discord
amongst
your
enemies
.
I
was
almost
saying
,
that
God
would
prosper
your
Maiestie
in
all
things
;
but
certainely
I
trust
hee
will
:
and
I
say
so
,
since
it
belongeth
more
rightly
to
his
great
Holinesse
,
and
to
our
reuerence
to
belieue
constantly
of
his
deeds
then
to
know
them
.
And
this
great
reason
I
haue
of
my
confidence
,
the
greatnesse
which
God
hath
giuen
your
Maiesty
ioined
to
so
great
and
excellent
vertues
which
questionles
are
appointed
to
some
great
&
extrordinary
end
.
Then
that
your
Maiestie
hath
pleased
not
to
deceiue
your selfe
in
this
withering
peace
which
you
haue
with
the
Turke
,
which
is
more
delighting
for
the
present
,
then
safe
for
the
future
:
that
rest
being
euer
false
,
which
is
taken
amongst
inopulent
and
strong
neighbours
.
The
Ambassador
hauing
shewed
by
his
arrogancie
in
speaking
,
that
when
there
shall
bee
giuen
a
fit
oportunity
for
doing
,
modesty
and
honesty
will
bee
onely
names
of
times
past
.
And
your
iust
and
good
proceeding
in
an
aduersity
of
fortune
,
will
be
esteemed
such
a
weakenes
as
is
farre
from
you
and
their
good
successe
,
will
be
attributed
to
their
valour
and
wisdom
.
And
thogh
your
Maiestie
in
the
sublime
excellency
of
your
royall
mind
doe
euer
number
fortune
amongst
doubtfull
things
,
and
vertue
amongst
the
certaine
:
yet
true
wisdome
of
the
world
will
alwayes
care
to
strengthen
the
one
with
the
other
,
by
so
proper
a
concurrence
,
that
your
vertue
shall
euer
haue
the
attendance
of
fortune
,
to
fill
your
Maiesty
with
good
and
glorious
acts
,
and
the
world
with
good
and
famous
wordes
,
and
relations
.
These
words
of
his
were
gratiously
&
tenderly
receiued
of
the
king
,
&
after
some
teares
on
al
parts
,
the
king
and
himselfe
hauing
brought
me
some
sixe
miles
,
wee
all
parted
they
for
the
Court
,
my selfe
for
my
iourney
,
hauing
first
left
with
my
brother
,
my
heart
certainely
,
not
onely
for
the
coniunction
which
nature
had
made
between
vs
,
but
also
for
those
worthy
sparkes
,
which
I
found
in
him
likely
to
be
brought
to
great
perfection
by
his
vertue
,
which
cannot
leaue
working
in
any
,
which
will
giue
them
way
,
much
more
in
him
,
who
will
make
way
for
them
.
And
besides
diuers
instructions
(
which
though
heeded
not
)
yet
the
common

of

which
are

so

as
we
are

required
not
deeds
of
want
,
but
abundance
all

loosing
much
of
their
splendor
,
both
in
the
giuer
and
receiuer
,
that
doe
beare
with
them
an
exprobratiue
terme
of
necessitie
:
)
first
,
I
desired
him
to
remember
,
that
his
fortune
&
safety
in
that
place
subsisted
only
vpon
the
kings
fauour
,
which
in
vertuous
princes
was
euer
to
bee
maintained
by
vertue
:
That
Princes
eares
and
eyes
were
in
euery
place
,
Courts
being
full
of
spies
,
and
nothing
hidden
from
emulation
;
which
by
how
much
more
it
would
bee
carried
couertly
;
so
much
more
would
it
be
dangerous
,
against
which
hee
could
preuaile
of
nothing
better
then
his
owne
innocency
,
and
patience
,
the
one
of
which
would
preserue
him
from
all
fault
;
the
other
from
perill
;
the
wisdome
of
men
ouercomming
more
by
working
of
time
,
than
by
violent
passions
which
doe
neuer
remoue
the
ill
,
but
onely
open
secrete
imperfections
,
which
giue
power
to
our
enemies
to
worke
vpon
,
and
the
more
courage
by
preuailing
themselues
vpon
errour
and
weaknesse
.
But
because
for
what
belonged
to
the
good
gouernment
of
himselfe
,
I
knew
that
hee
could
haue
no
better
precepts
then
those
which
his
own
mind
would
giue
him
,
I
wold
only
desire
him
that
neither
absence
,
nor
opinions
,
which
might
rise
throgh
the
tediousnes
of
long
absence
,
nor
ill
instruments
might
preuaile
so
farre
with
him
as
to
make
any
breach
in
his
affection
towardes
mee
:
our
perfect
vnion
tending
to
both
our
preseruations
,
and
reciprocal
increase
of
both
our
fortunes
.
Time
,
Fortune
,
or
sometimes
ambition
,
&
other
errors
might
diminish
,
change
,
and
dissolue
priuate
friendships
;
but
our
own
bloud
was
euer
vnalterably
the
same
&
though
in
the
freenes
of
our
natures
,
others
vsually
participite
of
our
prosperities
:
yet
none
so
fully
as
those
which
are
bound
by
so
deare
titles
of
nature
,
and
our
aduersities
no
man
would
euer
feele
but
our selues
,
neither
could
the
Kings
affection
increase
,
or
be
constant
to
any
of
vs
both
,
if
it
were
not
indeared
by
our
owne
example
.
The
cause
of
his
staying
with
the
King
,
though
his
commandement
and
desire
bare
the
colour
of
it
;
yet
essentially
and
truly
it
was
to
aduance
the
great
worke
,
of
which
God
had
laid
the
foundation
&
had
chosen
vs
,
for
true
instruments
,
not
mouing
it
by
Emperours
,
Kings
or
Princes
,
but
by
so
humble
Agents
,
questionlesse
for
the
greater
retribution
of
his
glory
:
for
which
wee
must
care
as
his
seruants
and
creatures
in
all
things
:
but
most
in
this
as
particularly
directed
by
him
to
it
.
And
though
it
was
likely
that
God
his
infinite
wisdom
would
not
faile
to
subminister
eternally
to
his
vnderstanding
,
proper
and
conuenient
meanes
of
proceeding
for
the
perfection
of
his
owne
worke
:
yet
we
should
find
,
that
some
great
part
of
those
meanes
are
insensibly
infused
into
our
reasons
,
the
instruction
of
which
in
good
things
we
must
euer
follow
as
his
,
and
though
that
we
speake
,
and
speake
alwaies
as
men
,
notwithstanding
when
it
pleased
God
to
prosper
the
effect
of
our
conceptions
:
questionlesse
,
there
is
a
greater
power
predominant
then
mans
.
What
,
we
haue
diuers
times
proiected
secretly
together
,
God
you
see
hath
perfected
,
and
therefore
wee
may
boldly
say
,
more
intending
to
that
end
,
vpon
the
same
confidence
and
assurance
:
Wherefore
,
when
you
shall
either
by
the
Kings
owne
motion
or
others
importunde
occasions
fal
in
discourse
with
him
vpon
any
point
of
these
affaires
:
you
must
know
,
as
all
Princes
ought
to
lay
the
foundation
of
all
their
enterprises
vpon
these
three
maine
rockes
,
the
Iustice
of
the
cause
,
Facility
of
the
enterprise
,
and
fruit
of
the
victory
:
so
in
negotiations
with
them
you
must
neuer
be
so
confident
vpon
those
points
,
especially
,
the
best
of
equity
and
iustice
,
as
vpon
the
true
experience
&
knowledge
of
the
Princes
disposition
,
who
either
iealous
to
hazard
or
ambitious
to
get
,
attendeth
ordinarily
to
interest
and
profit
,
and
not
to
what
he
ought
to
doe
,
neither
in
the
vprightnesse
of
this
honor
,
or
faith
giuen
,
or
obligation
of
precedent
fauour
or
benefite
:
Therefore
since
being
too
secure
doth
but
giue
way
,
to
danger
and
the
knowledge
of
the
worst
is
the
best
meanes
to
preuent
all
that
may
be
ill
,
let
not
your
desires
of
promouing
this
great
and
good
businesse
,
blind
you
from
foreseeing
all
sorts
of
preoccupations
,
which
we
both
haue
tasted
of
,
and
you
alone
may
perchance
find
greater
,
but
not
beholding
too
fixed
and
stedfastly
what
the
King
in
equitie
,
and
the
truth
of
the
cause
should
doe
:
penetrate
into
the
soule
of
the
action
,
the
stability
,
or
mutablenesse
of
his
nature
:
his
ordinarie
or
forced
inclinations
.
Finally
into
his
present
humours
or
future
likely
pretences
,
and
then
present
him
with
those
reasons
which
your
best
iudgement
,
shall
haue
prouided
for
him
in
fit
time
and
with
a
wel
vnderstanding
dexteritie
.
The
factions
of
the
Court
you
must
make
your selfe
learned
in
and
beare
your selfe
wisely
and
vprightly
betweene
both
;
you
hauing
no
strength
to
adde
power
to
any
of
both
:
but
any
of
those
hauing
power
to
subuert
you
;
so
that
by
shewing
to
vnderstand
those
that
are
against
you
,
you
shall
but
make
them
your
more
apparant
enemies
and
by
depending
absolutely
vpon
the
other
procure
no
assured
strength
to
our selfe
,
but
a
demonstration
without
effect
,
&
whensoeuer
they
shal
ioyn
together
for
their
owne
interesses
(
which
often
happeneth
betweene
factions
in
Courts
)
you
shal
be
left
a
pray
to
those
which
hate
you
;
whose
reuenge
shal
be
certaine
,
the
others
faith
nothing
.
The
corruptions
of
all
Courts
giuing
a
licence
to
great
men
to
serue
their
turnes
vpon
lesser
,
in
all
thinges
and
more
then
for
that
to
regard
them
in
nothing
.
Besides
the
ordinarie
dispositions
of
such
is
to
winke
at
our
priuate
friends
mischiefe
,
and
as
you
must
not
declare
your selfe
soly
for
the
one
,
nor
wholy
against
the
other
;
so
you
must
not
couertly
beare
them
both
in
hand
that
you
are
theirs
:
such
artifice
being
of
the
poorest
and
weakest
condition
,
nothing
being
able
to
be
hid
from
the
spying
eyes
in
Court
,
and
such
an
illusion
once
perceiued
,
is
so
farre
without
remedie
as
euery
man
will
hate
you
and
no
man
trust
you
.
You
must
then
beare
your selfe
equally
to
all
,
keeping
all
friends
and
making
no
enemies
depending
vpon
no
man
,
but
your
owne
vertue
and
worthinesse
,
and
his
affection
,
which
in
the
perfection
of
his
owne
royall
minde
,
is
onely
to
be
preserued
by
honest
wayes
.
In
cases
of
your
businesse
you
shall
need
vse
no
such
diligence
as
frame
,
partialities
,
factions
being
alreadie
made
and
animated
and
armed
,
watching
with
the
verie
strength
of
their
desires
to
aduance
their
Honours
by
the
good
or
ill
successe
of
it
.
You
must
bee
constant
against
rumors
,
and
beware
to
bee
noted
a
willing
bearer
of
such
reports
as
may
either
touch
any
in
Honour
or
otherwise
to
be
taken
for
an
offence
,
and
may
giue
your selfe
cause
of
suspition
,
for
any
of
those
bring
extrinsicke
danger
,
or
intrinsicke
errours
from
both
which
you
must
liue
free
and
vnattained
.
You
shall
heare
many
speake
sometimes
through
their
owne
imperfections
sometime
to
proue
yours
,
and
sometimes
to
please
(
as
they
thinke
)
the
companie
:
but
you
must
know
that
all
hearts
are
not
of
one
complexion
:
and
you
shall
hazard
euer
to
Card
ill
,
that
play
to
please
one
by
displeasing
another
,
since
benefits
euer
bee
more
easily
forgotten
then
iniures
,
and
though
the
respect
of
common
friendship
(
and
almost

quire
otherwise
;
yet
such
wrongs
are
without
meanes
of
reuenge
,
and
good
turnes
are
without
memorie
of
recompence
.
You
must
auoide
inconstancie
and
the
very
appearance
of
lightnesse
as
a
dangerous
downefall
:
for
where
it
is
,
there
is
neither
vnderstanding
or
iudgment
to
discerne
the
actions
of
others
nor
grauitie
to
measure
that
which
properly
belongeth
to
your selfe
:
besides
the
world
by
taking
notice
of
your
infirmitie
will
alwayes
feare
volubilitie
in
all
your
actions
.
Finally
,
though
I
am
most
assured
vertue
hath
so
great
power
in
your
minde
,
and
your
owne
vnderstanding
so
full
of
all
good
thinges
,
that
you
may
be
an
example
to
my
precepts
:
Yet
I
will
say
this
,
not
as
needing
,
but
in
the
necessitie
of
my
loue
;
which
desireth
more
then
it
doubteth
of
.
Giue
your selfe
(
deare
Brother
)
to
learne
of
the
best
:
fashion
your selfe
to
the
most
worthie
examples
which
you
haue
seene
,
aspire
to
nothing
for
vanitie
or
ostentation
,
neglect
no
good
thing
for
feare
,
and
mingle
equally
awfulnesse
to
offend
,
and
diligence
to
proceed
worthily
in
all
your
actions
:
And
you
shall
haue
fauour
from
the
King
,
loue
from
the
best
,
hatred
from
none
,
securitie
from
all
,
honour
from
the
effects
which
will
proceed
from
your
doings
;
and
God
will
blesse
you
with
his
mercie
,
directing
your
wayes
to
his
glorie
,
to
good
ends
:
and
so
to
good
example
among
these
misbeleeuers
,
with
whom
for
a
time
it
is
your
fortune
to
liue
,
and
to
raise
from
this
place
,
a
long
lasting
glorie
and
reputation
to
your selfe
;
and
name
for
euer
.
And
this
was
all
my
exceeding
sorrow
could
force
it selfe
to
vtter
:
and
the
King
returning
also
(
whom
my
Brother
must
follow
)
interrupted
the
course
of
any
longer
discourse
of
mine
,
or
his
answer
.
But
when
I
came
to
Casbin
,
though
I
knew
his
mind
both
by
nature
,
and
learning
,
as
plentifully
furnished
as
a
Gentleman
might
be
,
who
had
hopefull
conditions
in
himselfe
,
and
all
the
additions
which
the
tender
care
of
friendes
,
and
his
owne
diligently
well-spent
time
could
giue
him
:
Yet
vnderstanding
well
in
how
dangerous
a
sea
his
young
years
were
to
nauigate
,
and
that
no
addition
of
prouidence
could
be
superfluous
firmely
to
support
his
owne
securitie
,
and
the
maine
end
of
our
great
businesse
:
hauing
compiled
(
as
well
as
the
shortnesse
of
the
time
of
my
abiding
in
that
place
would
suffer
me
,
and
as
much
as
I
could
bring
to
any
sort
of
fashion
out
of
so
imperfect
a
mould
as
that
of
my
little
vnderstanding
)
these
remnants
of
the
chiefe
properties
of
all
estates
,
to
giue
him
the
better
light
how
clearly
to
see
into
that
wherin
he
was
;
and
to
helpe
the
way
of
his
businesse
,
according
to
the
motiues
which
it
was
like
)
he
might
receiue
by
the
commaundement
of
some
of
our
Princes
from
hence
:
desiring
him
with
all
to
remember
,
that
Court
carriages
were
riddles
,
which
though
seene
,
could
not
bee
resolued
without
exceeding
patience
,
and
well
iudging
experience
.
And
that
by
no
meanes
hee
should
flie
from
his
owne
vertue
,
to
make
his
foundation
vpon
the
Kings
fauor
,
Princes
euer
hauing
this
imperfection
almost
inseparable
to
their
greatnesse
,
to
be
infinite
voluble
,
and
as
their
minds
are
large
,
so
they
easily
ouerlooke
their
first
fauours
,
which
they
purposed
,
and
can
as
hardly
loue
truly
,
as
acknowledge
a
benefite
:
their
disposition
being
to
be
easily
glutted
with
the
present
,
and
hope
better
of
the
future
,
especially
hauing
no
other
necessity
in
the
constant
carrying
of
their
affections
,
then
their
owne
satisfactions
.
And
these
other
trifles
which
I
lent
him
,
I
did
wish
him
to
ouerlooke
as
grounds
,
only
for
his
spirit
to
discourse
more
largely
vpon
:
desiring
by
them
to
point
vnto
him
that
exercise
,
which
the
cause
that
wee
were
entred
in
,
made
not
onely
fittest
for
his
minde
to
vse
,
but
most
necessarie
;
our
fortune
hauing
then
giuen
into
our
management
the
good
or
ill
of
diuers
states
,
according
to
the
successe
of
our
employment
.
And
since
there
is
a
certaine
iudgement
of
the
euent
of
things
,
according
to
the
perfect
or
imperfect
disposition
of
the
body
,
by
which
those
things
are
to
be
effected
:
his
iudgement
would
bee
the
better
to
discourse
,
and
discerne
what
the
proceeding
of
this
businesse
was
like
to
be
,
by
vnderstanding
the
principal
elements
,
by
which
the
body
of
all
estates
are
compacted
,
and
then
by
dilating
with
himselfe
the
good
or
defectiue
mixture
in
euery
particular
state
,
which
hee
knew
by
his
owne
experience
and
others
relation
.
Those
Elements
which
giue
both
matter
and
being
,
to
those
huge
bodies
,
were
Counsell
,
Force
,
and
Reputation
.
The
Forme
,
were
the
Lawes
which
Aristotle
calleth
Mens
sine
appetitu
.
The
Organ
by
which
this
worke
,
and
the
whole
body
moueth
to
his
end
,
is
the
Prince
and
his
Ministers
.
But
because
the
time
I
had
was
so
short
as
I
could
but
briefly
speake
of
all
these
,
I
did
conclude
them
in
the
Discourse
which
I
gaue
him
of
these
three
maine
foundations
,
Counsell
,
Force
,
and
Reputation
.
