Syr
Thomas
Smiths
Voyage
into
Rushia
.
TRaffike
is
the
golden
chain
concatenation
,
that
tyes
kingdoms
together
in
mutuall
Amitie
:
It
is
the
very
Cement
that
conioynes
the
harts
,
the
handes
,
yea
the
soules
of
Nations
different
in
shapes
,
disagreeing
in
manners
,
in
speech
,
in
religion
,
with
Neves
not
to
be
broken
.
The
tongue
of
which
harmony
sounding
sweetest
in
the
eares
of
those
Princes
,
who
loue
the
Palme
and
Oliue
tree
ensignes
of
Peace
,
better
than
the
knotted
Oake
,
(
Emblem
of
Warre
.
)
Allude
the
Maiesty
of
England
(
our
Royall
Soueraigne
King
Iames
)
to
allowe
all
those
ports
and
Hauens
to
stande
still
open
,
which
(
in
the
dayes
of
his
deere
late
deceased
sister
)
nourished
entercourse
and
negotiation
betweene
this
kingdome
and
the
Rushian
.
For
his
princely
confirmation
whereof
,
congratulations
formerly
interchangably
passing
betwixt
his
maiesty
and
the
Emperour
of
Rushia
,
through
the
hands
of
Maister
Iohn
Mericke
now
agent
there
,
Sir
Tho.
Smith
knight
,
(
a
religious
and
discreet
Gentleman
)
was
thought
fit
to
be
chosen
and
commanded
by
his
Maiestie
,
to
go
vpon
an
Embassie
thither
:
which
(
according
to
duty
)
he
entertained
:
making
such
speedy
preparation
for
the
iourney
,
as
the
shortnesse
of
time
squred
out
vnto
him
,
could
minister
.
All
things
therefore
being
ripe
for
his
departure
,
sir
Tho.
accompanied
with
sir
Thomas
Challenor
,
and
S.
William
Wray
knights
,
diuers
Gent.
and
his
own
attendants
,
repaired
to
the
Court
vppon
the
tenth
of
Iune
1604.
then
lying
at
Greenwich
,
where
(
by
the
right
Hon.
the
Earle
of
Salsbury
)
he
was
brought
to
his
Maiesties
presence
:
who
in
very
gracious
language
demaunded
of
sir
Thomas
the
length
of
the
voyage
,
the
time
of
his
returne
,
the
nature
of
the
Climate
,
with
some
other
questions
touching
the
countrey
:
vnto
all
which
sir
Thomas
aunswered
accordingly
.
But
the
king
wondring
that
the
detention
there
would
be
so
long
,
(
for
Sir
Thomas
said
it
would
be
full
xv
.
moneths
,
by
reason
of
the
winters
cruelty
,
whose
Frosts
were
so
extream
,
that
the
seas
were
not
at
those
times
Nauigable
)
pleasantly
said
,
It
seemes
then
that
Sir
Thomas
goes
from
the
Sun
:
vpon
which
the
right
Hon.
the
Earle
of
Northampton
standing
by
replyed
,
He
must
needes
go
from
the
Sunne
departing
from
his
resplendant
Ma.
At
which
the
king
smiled
,
giuing
sir
Thomas
his
hand
to
kisse
,
and
bestowing
the
like
grace
vpon
all
the
Gentlem.
that
were
for
the
voyage
.
The
next
day
S.
Thomas
with
some
of
his
followers
,
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Prince
:
and
then
being
fully
furnished
with
his
Commission
,
and
all
other
instructions
from
the
Ea.
of
Salsbury
at
White-hall
,
the
day
following
,
being
the
12.
of
Iune
,
about
ten
a
clocke
,
the
wind
sitting
fayr
,
all
the
ships
fel
down
to
Graues-end
,
whether
S.
Tho.
came
,
accompanied
with
sir
Valentine
Knightly
,
sir
Fran.
Cherry
,
many
merchants
,
&c.
staying
there
til
next
morning
.
Then
after
conference
with
the
Gent.
Mer.
and
maisters
of
ships
about
his
departure
:
sir
Thomas
calling
all
his
followers
about
him
,
thus
spake
.
GEntlemen
,
and
the
rest
who
haue
resolued
to
acompany
and
attend
me
in
this
Ambassage
from
his
Excellent
Maiesty
to
the
Emperor
of
Rushia
,
&c.
I
haue
conferred
with
the
Merchants
,
maisters
of
ships
&
others
,
vpon
the
stay
or
speed
of
our
voyage
,
finding
the
wind
fauorable
,
all
our
company
as
I
think
heere
,
&
no
importune
busines
to
stay
vs
,
haue
resolued
to
go
on
boord
this
present
night
,
and
so
deliuer
our selues
as
alwaies
into
the
protection
of
the
Almighty
:
so
now
to
his
mercie
in
the
mercilesse
Seas
,
where
wee
shall
(
especiallie
the
vnexperienced
,
wherof
I
presume
to
haue
manie
)
meet
with
a
number
of
crosses
the
difference
between
Land
and
Sea
as
of
two
contrary
elements
:
So
that
being
of
a
contrary
nature
,
I
must
giue
you
my
knowledge
herein
,
and
the
rather
considering
you
are
of
seuerall
prefermentes
vnto
mee
,
and
consequently
vnknown
to
one
another
.
I
desire
you
like
christians
and
fellow
Brethren
to
loue
and
delight
each
in
other
,
and
expresse
your
loues
in
helping
and
cherishing
in
time
of
distresse
,
sicknes
,
or
distemperature
:
so
as
if
God
please
to
laie
some
sick
&
others
health
:
the
strong
to
helpe
the
weak
,
as
fearing
daily
hee
may
fall
into
the
like
need
.
As
often
as
it
shall
please
God
to
send
vs
weather
that
we
may
visite
one
another
,
I
shall
be
glad
to
see
you
aboord
my
Shippe
,
where
happily
you
may
be
entertained
with
something
your selues
desire
,
and
I
will
easily
affoord
.
I
shall
take
it
an
argument
of
your
loues
,
your
dayly
(
if
daily
might
be
your
visitations
)
as
he
that
shall
esteeme
you
the
best
ghesse
that
I
can
long
expect
.
For
the
preseruation
of
your
owne
healths
,
beware
of
drinking
:
for
your
profit
,
of
Gaming
:
for
your
ease
,
of
quarrelling
:
and
for
Gods
glory
of
swearing
.
All
which
,
oft-times
Sea-company
makes
men
subiect
vnto
.
Surely
there
is
no
such
remedy
against
these
,
as
dayly
,
according
to
the
Ship-custome
,
to
serue
God
:
presuming
I
haue
none
in
my
company
otherwise
minded
or
brought
vppe
.
Thus
armed
,
let
vs
in
his
name
,
who
in
his
secret
wisdome
hath
ordained
vs
to
this
voyage
,
begin
with
honest
and
iust
minds
that
our
successe
may
be
prosperous
,
and
our
end
glorious
:
protesting
,
I
shall
be
best
serued
when
God
is
most
honoured
,
desiring
nothing
of
any
,
but
what
befits
my
place
,
and
his
duty
.
Thus
in
the
name
of
God
let
vs
goe
on
Boord
.
The
Ambas
.
led
the
way
himselfe
,
going
aborde
the
Iohn
and
Francis
Admyrall
,
after
him
al
his
followers
:
hauing
euerie
man
aboord
,
himselfe
with
some
others
went
againe
on
shore
,
there
taking
little
rest
,
for
the
time
was
spent
in
very
speciall
businesses
with
the
Merchants
,
whoe
stayed
still
about
two
in
the
morne
.
Then
after
a
warning
peece
shot
,
and
some
little
stay
for
the
long
boate
,
which
was
not
come
downe
,
wee
hoysted
our
sayles
with
the
rest
of
the
ships
(
in
number
foure
)
and
hauinge
a
gallant
gale
,
we
easily
sternd
the
tide
,
hauing
taken
leaue
of
the
small
rudder
,
and
now
trusting
to
the
hopefull
helme
(
which
God
be
thanked
well
guided
vs
,
hauing
for
two
daies
and
one
night
a
good
gale
and
faire
:
But
the
15.
daye
of
Iune
,
beyonde
Newcastle
,
that
night
the
winde
seased
,
so
as
wee
must
bend
our
course
Easterlie
.
In
the
night
,
wee
left
behind
vs
one
of
our
ships
,
named
the
Minion
,
which
with
a
side
wind
could
not
holde
course
with
vs
.
Whereupon
our
Mayster
came
to
the
Ambassador
to
know
his
pleasure
,
whether
he
would
staye
or
no
,
alledging
withal
,
it
was
their
custom
to
prick
forwardest
,
and
with
euerie
winde
to
make
the
best
aduantage
of
their
ships
:
But
the
Ambassador
commanded
him
to
tacke
about
,
and
stay
til
the
Minion
were
come
vp
,
which
hee
obeyed
:
And
surelye
the
Ambas
:
herin
shewed
his
great
care
and
loue
to
the
Gent.
with
the
rest
:
for
me
thinketh
it
a
great
comfort
on
the
Sea
,
to
behold
neighbor-ships
,
yea
(
and
if
occasion
should
require
)
it
would
proue
wisdom
and
good
discretion
,
when
either
the
want
of
one
ship
,
or
that
one
ship
might
vnhappily
for
his
fellowes
,
be
diuersly
lost
or
cast
away
,
as
is
too
often
found
to
be
true
.
But
for
Sea
accidentes
,
it
is
not
my
purpose
to
make
perticular
relation
,
beeing
neither
pertinent
to
my
course
,
nor
to
any
a
matter
of
much
validity
:
but
as
if
our
Ambas
.
were
againe
in
the
Tower
of
London
,
as
he
is
in
the
ship
:
now
tost
,
then
becaulmed
:
in
feare
and
hope
within
one
moment
,
wher
sometime
God
Neptune
like
a
Prince
,
will
haue
his
subiects
know
his
force
,
and
feele
his
rigor
:
where
when
Fogges
and
mists
appeare
(
like
stratagems
and
pollicies
)
to
make
men
imprisoned
tremble
,
man
then
can
see
that
he
otherwise
cannot
see
,
danger
in
present
deliuerance
,
deliuerance
and
helpe
in
present
daunger
.
For
ordinary
policies
are
like
Mount
Lybanus
fogges
,
then
most
palpable
,
when
least
discerned
:
but
as
God
brought
him
out
with
much
honor
and
praise
,
onely
by
the
benefit
of
patience
,
clothed
in
Innocency
,
so
shall
I
by
the
help
of
God
,
deliuer
our selues
safely
at
our
Port
and
hanen
,
by
the
gaining
of
time
out-running
miserie
:
for
the
Sea
is
a
miserable
commonwealth
to
liue
in
,
(
If
without
much
patience
)
where
mens
eies
must
euer
be
open
to
al
dangers
:
and
this
is
there
a
preseruation
against
all
dangers
,
where
men
rest
most
in
vnquietnes
and
stand
safest
,
when
the
winde
like
Hu-an-cry
,
driues
them
forward
for
feare
of
worsse
weather
,
but
to
them
that
loue
the
Sea
,
I
wish
helth
,
and
my selfe
euer
to
stande
well
on
dry
ground
:
to
behold
one
of
the
3.
gallant
spectacles
in
the
world
,
A
Ship
vnder
sayle
,
loming
(
as
they
tearme
it
)
indeede
like
a
Lyon
pawing
with
his
forfeet
,
heauing
and
setting
,
like
a
Musco
Beare
bayted
with
excellent
English
dogs
.
But
the
comming
on
boord
of
some
Gent.
and
others
to
my
L.
ship
,
(
we
being
becalmed
)
invites
me
to
turne
my
best
wit
to
bid
them
welcome
.
Who
are
so
honourably
intertained
by
the
Ambas
.
as
hauing
of
his
perticular
frends
much
,
of
his
owne
more
,
of
the
company
of
marchaunts
most
,
and
very
bountifuly
of
either
,
inough
for
any
;
did
therewith
feast
them
were
invited
at
Graues-end
,
to
be
welcome
about
Shotland
;
It
shal
be
honor
sufficient
to
the
Ambas
.
and
comfort
inough
to
his
folowers
,
that
they
neuer
came
,
but
they
found
him
like
a
good
hous-keeper
at
home
,
and
like
a
bountifull
sir
,
command
them
the
best
cheare
.
In
a
word
,
the
Ambas
.
own
and
ordinarie
praise
shall
ease
mee
of
more
labor
in
prouing
it
,
al
must
confesse
necessarily
,
which
was
this
:
That
al
the
prouisions
whatsoeuer
(
yea
his
purse
likewise
)
was
euery
ones
&
no
one
,
no
not
himselfe
for
all
.
But
the
wind
riseth
,
&
they
refreshed
with
wine
and
wind
,
are
abord
their
owne
ships
.
Thus
they
that
came
(
who
as
often
as
they
could
did
com
)
needed
not
depart
til
the
weather
whistled
them
thence
:
and
surely
on
the
sea
,
a
faire
gale
is
better
than
feasting
,
as
where
a
mannes
mind
is
as
great
as
his
stomach
:
nor
can
a
man
on
the
seas
be
alwaies
so
couragious
(
though
manie
heroycal
spirits
seeme
to
breath
there
)
but
the
wind
will
coole
him
(
especially
in
danger
)
if
it
blowe
on
the
right
side
.
Now
being
far
entred
the
Northren
Seas
,
I
could
here
feed
you
:
yea
,
make
you
a
feast
royall
with
little
cost
:
and
after
that
disport
you
excellent
strangely
,
with
Water-Tylts
and
Barryers
:
bringing
in
the
Leuyathan
with
his
Oystershel-armed
shield
,
like
greene
,
wilde
and
sauadge
men
,
castinge
out
smoke
to
terifie
the
behoulders
,
obseruing
their
time
and
measure
,
like
the
M.
of
a
daunsing
school
,
indeed
like
a
right
Lo.
roming
and
raunging
without
feare
,
to
feare
.
The
gallant
Sea-fight
betwixte
the
huge
Whale
,
the
Sword-fish
,
and
the
Thresher
:
Two
against
one
,
Rapyer
and
dagger
against
your
two-hand-sworde
:
Or
I
might
speake
verye
muche
to
little
purpose
of
the
STVRGEON
,
whose
Rowes
makes
the
Italians
delightfull
Caviare
,
of
which
this
Nation
makes
the
most
and
best
of
any
.
The
Porpus
,
Belluga
,
Sharke
,
Seale
,
Grampas
,
Salmon
,
&c.
But
I
feare
too
many
whilst
they
haue
gazed
after
them
,
haue
bene
made
giddie
,
and
others
presuming
to
haue
made
profit
of
them
,
haue
fed
them
:
then
,
were
it
not
vnkindlye
and
vnnaturall
to
feede
you
,
with
those
creatures
,
that
rather
are
satisfied
with
men
,
whereby
it
would
proue
a
harde
disgestion
.
B●sides
,
I
might
discourse
the
Witchcraft
of
the
Seas
(
as
I
may
tearme
it
)
when
one
Ship
shall
be
becalmed
,
and
Diuers
haue
excellent
gales
or
vndergoe
the
description
of
the
Capes
,
Sandes
,
Shel●es
,
Islands
,
Rockes
,
Whirlepooles
,
&c.
But
these
are
for
a
strange
language
,
wherein
men
may
not
blushe
but
Poetise
:
who
in
our
Countrey
are
not
so
well
(
so
ill
are
our
affections
)
esteemed
of
,
as
Beastes
,
much
lesse
as
Lordely
Fishes
,
who
swim
and
play
aboue
the
Water
,
where
and
when
they
please
:
onely
herein
they
are
like
them
,
they
haue
the
world
like
a
Sea
,
to
wade
and
sport
themselues
in
,
and
yet
vnlike
fishes
,
are
often
themselues
drowned
in
their
owne
Ellements
.
But
I
am
verye
willingly
drawne
out
of
this
fury
of
Makers
,
who
yet
certainly
deserue
much
,
especially
remembring
the
curse
the
moste
woorthy
Knight
of
the
Muses
wisheth
those
do
not
honor
them
,
(
as
out
of
the
vyolence
of
the
salt
Seas
at
any
time
)
principally
now
,
after
almost
40.
daies
tossing
,
and
tumbling
,
being
with
a
sweet
dreame
after
a
golden
slumber
,
entred
vppon
the
faire
and
pleasant
Riuer
of
Dwnia
,
from
which
I
suddainely
awaked
with
the
vnknowne
language
of
a
Pilate
,
sent
from
the
Emperor
to
conduct
my
Lord
vpon
the
Riuer
:
which
is
,
(
or
at
least
they
thinke
)
to
vs
it
is
a
dangerous
passage
:
which
Pilate
excused
his
no
sooner
comming
for
want
of
knowledge
of
the
Ambassadors
being
so
nie
.
But
now
come
(
when
to
our
Iourneys
sickly
certaine
end
we
are
so
neere
come
)
howe
thinke
you
,
must
he
not
be

The
22.
of
Iuly
beeing
come
within
a
mile
of
Tharch-angell
,
we
ankerd
,
whether
came
at
11.
of
the
clocke
in
the
night
,
a
Gentleman
(
Captain
of
500.
gunners
,
named
Maxim
Vrin
:
a
man
of
good
complement
,
and
of
indifferent
stature
and
presence
,
)
aboard
the
Ambassadors
shippe
,
being
mette
with
two
Gentlemen
and
others
,
he
was
brought
into
his
Lordships
Cabin
,
where
after
rehearsing
the
Emperours
and
Princes
Title
(
which
is
euer
their
custome
,
)
he
declared
to
the
Ambassador
,
that
his
L.
and
Maister
and
the
young
Prince
,
had
sent
him
,
to
knowe
of
his
Maiesties
health
of
Englande
,
the
Q.
and
Princes
,
which
the
Ambassador
answeared
vnto
:
then
demaunded
of
his
owne
,
and
the
Gent.
The
Ambassador
,
somewhat
woondering
what
this
Gent.
should
be
(
considering
former
Ambassadors
Entertainment
)
presently
was
by
him
resolued
with
this
,
prosecuting
his
former
speeche
:
That
whereas
the
Emperor
vnderstanding
of
the
Ambassadors
comming
,
to
shewe
his
great
loue
to
his
Maiesty
of
England
,
the
desire
of
peace
and
Amity
,
(
as
with
his
deere
and
louing
Sister
Elizabeth
of
happy
memory
late
Queene
of
England
)
contrary
to
any
custome
of
his
Maiesties
heeretofore
,
who
neuer
tooke
knowledge
thereafter
,
had
sent
him
to
bee
his
Prestaue
,
to
prouide
the
Ambassadours
house
,
and
victuals
,
and
to
garde
him
from
the
Iniuries
of
a
strange
nation
:
desiring
that
his
seruice
therein
might
expresse
his
thankefulnes
to
his
Ma.
for
so
great
an
honour
,
and
likewise
be
pleasing
to
the
Ambassador
.
Both
which
to
deserue
,
he
would
endeuor
the
best
lay
in
his
power
.
The
Ambassador
(
though
somewhat
be-woondered
or
gratiously
preuented
)
verye
kindely
and
thankfully
accepted
of
this
truly
honourable
fauor
:
saying
,
It
behooued
two
such
great
Princes
to
vse
the
best
meanes
for
Amity
and
friendship
.
So
the
Prestaue
banquetted
as
befitting
his
place
,
was
dismissed
that
night
,
but
yet
before
he
went
,
came
aboorde
,
the
Ambassadors
Shippe
,
the
Agent
Maister
Iohn
Mericke
,
diuers
Marchants
,
and
other
English
men
to
see
his
Lordship
,
as
to
welcome
him
to
that
Port
of
his
desire
:
who
after
some
houres
discourse
,
priuately
betwixt
the
Ambassador
and
the
Agent
,
tasting
of
his
wine
and
Beere
,
with
halfe
a
score
good
peeces
they
were
sent
away
.
Truely
herein
,
the
extraordinary
beginning
was
hope
of
a
prosperous
conclusion
:
for
this
was
a
fauor
neuer
manifested
to
any
heretofore
,
who
after
their
arriuall
at
the
Castle
,
staide
and
that
very
vntowardly
)
till
a
poste
were
dispatched
,
from
the
Gentleman
or
Gouernor
of
the
Towne
to
the
Musco
,
(
which
is
1000.
Myles
,
)
and
his
return
with
the
Emperours
further
pleasure
for
his
direction
and
warrant
.
The
23.
of
Iuly
the
Prestaue
,
the
English
Agent
,
Marchants
and
other
,
being
come
to
bring
the
Ambassador
with
honor
into
his
lodging
,
he
withall
the
Gent.
before
him
,
and
his
Liueries
before
them
,
two
and
two
together
,
accompanied
as
is
aforesaid
,
landed
at
the
Castle
:
in
the
road
whereof
,
then
beeing
many
English
,
French
,
and
Dutch
Ships
,
they
discharged
a
mighty
peale
,
(
or
rather
many
peales
of
Ordinance
.
)
Thus
the
Ambassador
came
safely
to
his
first
lodging
in
Rushia
.
The
Prestaue
takinge
a
solemne
leaue
,
went
to
see
the
Prouisions
which
were
laide
in
before
,
to
be
good
,
as
also
to
prouide
necessarie
lodginges
,
for
diuers
which
were
to
bee
lodged
abroad
,
and
others
not
as
yet
Landed
,
for
it
was
4.
daies
before
all
our
Ships
came
vp
.
Here
the
Ambassador
laie
some
fourteen
dayes
,
or
lesse
,
where
in
the
meane
time
,
there
was
demanded
a
particular
note
of
the
names
of
all
the
Ambassadors
traine
,
fyrst
of
the
Kings
Gentlemen
,
(
which
name
not
onely
the
Emperor
,
but
the
Great
Turke
,
Persian
&
Moroco
Princes
do
highly
account
of
)
as
indeed
soothing
their
own
greatnes
therwith
,
and
we
who
were
his
seruants
,
and
highly
graced
by
kissing
the
Princely
hande
of
our
royall
K.
meeting
herein
with
any
others
,
trauailing
in
the
same
kind
:
as
also
by
our
particular
births
,
not
beeing
lesse
(
so
vnexpectedly
required
of
vs
)
did
vnder-goe
the
name
,
as
which
we
could
not
without
dishonor
to
the
Ambassador
,
and
disaduantage
to
our
Being
refuse
,
it
being
giuen
by
an
Emperor
,
who
should
be
in
that
kingdome
so
great
as
not
to
allow
it
,
though
he
would
(
which
none
could
)
disproue
?
Secondly
,
of
the
Ambassadors
Gent
,
and
thirdly
,
of
al
the
rest
that
attended
,
which
forthwith
was
deliuered
to
the
Prestaue
,
and
sent
vp
by
him
to
the
Emperor
:
the
reasons
hereof
are
,
as
may
be
gathered
,
to
esteeme
the
state
and
honor
of
the
Ambassador
thereafter
:
also
,
to
prouide
accordingly
for
houses
,
horses
,
and
other
prouisions
,
and
perhappes
to
learne
thereby
what
names
of
great
houses
are
amonge
the
kinges
Gent.
:
as
particularly
now
they
did
inquire
after
.
Here
,
it
pleased
the
English
agent
M.
Iohn
Mericke
,
(
truely
a
wise
,
honest
and
kinde
Gent.
)
to
inuite
all
the
Gentlemen
to
their
house
to
dinner
:
whether
he
would
haue
willingly
invited
the
Ambas
.
if
hee
might
haue
presumed
thereupon
,
and
of
the
fitnes
,
considering
that
as
yet
letters
were
not
secondarilie
come
from
the
Emperor
,
for
the
gent.
farther
proceeding
:
whereby
he
woulde
happily
haue
made
a
question
there
of
;
as
also
for
the
Ambass
.
greatnes
,
(
the
towne
then
so
ouercharged
with
many
Nations
)
it
could
not
be
performed
according
to
the
respect
ambassadors
are
vsed
with
there
,
nor
perhaps
would
it
be
well
agreeing
to
their
more
priuate
fashion
,
who
hold
it
greatest
glory
for
greatest
men
,
rather
to
be
reported
of
,
then
seene
,
&c.
But
we
were
very
bountifully
feasted
and
as
kindly
and
hartily
welcome
,
as
an
honest
mind
(
rather
indeed
with
vertue
then
formality
)
might
expresse
,
the
Ambassadour
hauing
many
daintye
dishes
,
sent
home
to
his
owne
house
.
Now
the
whole
company
of
Ships
safely
arriued
,
and
all
the
Ambas
.
followers
landed
some
daies
before
:
it
came
forthwith
into
the
care
and
loue
of
the
Ambas
.
(
being
by
the
Agent
well
informed
of
diuers
vices
,
customes
,
and
Obseruations
,
fit
either
to
be
followed
or
auoyded
)
who
was
euer
desirous
to
keepe
an
honorable
opinion
to
himselfe
,
and
an
honest
name
in
his
followers
,
as
in
his
going
vp
to
the
Court
,
so
,
euer
after
also
to
ingraue
within
their
memories
,
their
happy
deliuerance
from
the
Sea
,
before
his
departing
the
Arch-angel
,
very
honorably
thus
to
aduise
&
counsell
them
.
SInce
it
hath
pleased
the
Almightye
of
his
great
mercy
,
safely
to
protect
vs
in
our
dangerous
trauaile
vpon
the
Sea
,
and
to
bring
vs
on
Land
,
euen
all
of
vs
,
without
any
the
least
misfortune
,
let
vs
thinke
it
a
very
great
blessing
,
and
the
remembrance
of
the
dangers
,
and
perils
past
,
let
them
be
euer
before
vs
,
as
before
those
,
that
not
onely
wil
liue
accordingly
,
but
which
must
assure
themselues
;
are
to
returne
the
same
way
againe
:
knowing
,
that
God
doth
oftentimes
vse
his
creatures
(
and
none
oftner
then
the
Sea
)
to
execute
his
Iudgements
:
let
vs
then
be
hartily
thankefull
for
our
deliuerance
,
and
shew
our
obedience
thereafter
in
our
liues
,
especially
in
a
strange
Country
,
where
he
is
not
rightly
knowne
:
a
people
and
Nation
very
subtle
and
crafty
,
likewise
inquisitiue
after
euery
strangers
actions
,
and
this
place
the
Port
where
al
nations
doe
come
to
:
where
many
vnderstande
our
language
,
let
vs
be
wise
and
very
circumspect
what
wee
speake
,
of
what
,
and
to
whom
,
for
much
cause
of
speech
will
bee
giuen
vs
,
because
the
people
as
well
as
their
maners
,
customes
,
&
salutations
,
are
not
onely
strange
,
(
as
with
modestie
I
may
speake
somewhat
rediculous
)
and
the
rather
since
we
bring
the
message
of
pe●ce
and
Amity
,
Let
vs
shew
towardes
them
loue
and
curtesie
.
To
be
curteous
,
as
it
is
a
vertue
beyond
Enuy
,
so
is
it
an
aduantage
without
losse
.
I
am
likewise
to
require
you
,
and
that
earnestly
,
to
auoide
Dicing
and
carding
:
which
games
,
besides
that
they
are
among
the
better
sort
heere
,
accounted
very
base
and
odious
,
to
me
it
shall
be
offensiue
,
and
in
the
end
to
your
selus
great
discommodity
:
as
when
some
will
carry
that
in
his
purse
,
his
fellow
should
haue
clothed
his
backe
with
:
especially
,
if
you
withall
do
but
remember
the
colde
Climate
you
are
to
liue
in
Drukennes
is
rather
here
a
custome
,
then
a
vice
:
yet
themselues
hate
it
in
other
.
Bee
then
conquerors
,
if
in
this
,
in
any
thing
,
&
make
your
wisedome
,
out
of
their
vile
beastlinesse
herein
,
that
you
can
refraine
that
,
I
hope
you
were
neuer
acquainted
with
all
.
Also
Whoring
in
this
Countrey
is
so
common
a
sin
,
as
their
eies
,
can
soone
obserue
it
in
straungers
:
for
the
peace
of
your
owne
Consciences
,
the
strengthe
of
your
owne
bodies
,
abhorrè
it
as
the
most
vnnaturall
wickednes
:
and
rather
,
in
respest
they
are
not
onely
herein
monstrous
impudent
,
but
impudence
it selfe
.
Be
it
euer
loathsome
the
thoughte
thereof
vnto
you
all
.
Thus
if
your
carriage
be
,
it
will
be
an
honor
vnto
our
God
,
and
he
will
honor
you
.
It
will
be
a
glorye
vnto
your
Countrey
,
adde
reputation
to
me
,
and
quyetnesse
to
your
owne
Consciences
,
and
I
shall
be
gladde
to
reward
them
are
carefull
herein
,
as
ready
to
punish
the
offenders
.
But
I
hope
my
speech
shall
onely
serue
to
testifie
my
desire
,
and
not
bee
the
letter
,
to
punishe
any
hereafter
withall
:
yet
,
let
not
any
one
presume
vpon
my
leanity
or
gentlenes
,
for
I
assure
them
I
will
euer
prefer
my
protestations
in

if
it

within

power
as
these

now

This
Gentle
.
being
come
within
a
quarter
of
a
Myle
,
sent
to
the
Ambas
.
to
giue
him
notice
,
that
the
Emperor
had
sent
him
as
his
Prestaue
,
and
hee
desired
to
see
his
Lordship
,
as
well
to
know
of
him
concerning
his
health
,
his
vsage
,
and
his
prouision
,
as
to
let
him
vnderstand
the
Emperors
especial
fauor
towards
him
,
in
sending
him
presently
vpon
Newes
of
his
arriual
,
with
a
larger
commission
,
and
that
at
all
Yames
and
Townes
of
quality
,
he
had
deliuered
letters
for
his
receyuing
of
horses
and
prouission
of
diet
,
and
what
he
would
desire
.
So
two
of
the
K.
Gen.
fetched
him
on
boord
the
Ambassadors
Doshonicke
,
where
he
was
honouraly
entertayned
,
and
indeede
he
was
a
kind
Gentleman
,
as
who
knowes
this
Countrey
people
might
easily
acknowledge
,
whence
after
halfe
an
houres
drinking
and
eating
he
departed
:
presently
after
his
departing
,
the
Ambas
.
sent
sixe
of
his
Liueries
,
and
his
Enterpreter
or
Tolmatch
to
his
boat
,
with
a
banquet
,
which
he
very
kindly
and
thankefully
accepted
:
so
we
passed
along
on
our
Iourney
,
which
was
as
pleasant
and
delightfull
,
wheather
you
consider
the
admirable
straight
pine

I
must
leaue
many
faire
townes

great
Presents
,
where
we
lay
and
rested
,
because
it
will
bee
rather
an

a

I
desire
to
escape
those
smal

not

then
willing
to
take

taste
of
his
goodnes
(
as
the
Russe
termes

it
is
to
be
supposed

neuer
in
sodain
accidents
of
one
resolution
,
and
partly
,
for
that
it
was
to
be
thought
,
the
Ambas
.
was
not
so
well
prouided
for
them
,
as
afterwards
being
setled
he
would
be
.
In
this
great
towne
we
easily
found
the
Emperors
commaund
,
for
our
better
dyet
,
and
liberty
to
ride
,
was
withall
willingnes
performed
,
where
the
Ambassador
first
,
(
as
in
euere
place
after
)
was
more
gratiously
entertained
.
The
12.
of
Septem.
the
Ambas
.
accompanyed
with
diuers
Gentlemen
,
tooke
his
trauell
by
Land
,
himselfe
riding
in
his
owne
Coatch
,
with
a
spare
horse
led
by
at
his
pleasure
,
with
150.
horses
,
with
the
carriages
.
So
by
easie
Iourneyes
,
wee
passed
a
pleasant
and
faire
trauell
,
as
is
or
can
be
for
so
many
vers
,
in
the
whole
world
,
without
any
rainy
daies
,
or
foule
waies
,
resting
euery
Sabaoth
day
,
as
the
Ambas
.
had
by
water
before
done
,
not
indeed
missinge
two
Sermons
at
any
time
,
no
(
hardlye
at
the
Sea
though
our
Preacher
were
the
sickest
man
.
)
Such
was
his
care
and
zeale
,
and
truely
he
was
an
honest
quiet
man
,
and
a
sufficient
Scholler
,
named
Maister
Samuell
Sotheby
.
Thus
we
passed
from
Yam
,
to
Yam
,
vppon
excellent
Post-horses
,
till
we
came
thorogh
many
well
scituated
,
and
pleasant
townes
,
vnto
the
Cittie
of
Yerri-slaue
,
which
we
came
vnto
,
the
19.
of
Sept.
where
we
were
receiued
with
a
multitude
of
people
.
After
we
had
rowed
in
a
very
great
Barge
,
ouer
the
famous
Riuer
of
Volga
,
(
wherevnto
adioyning
this
citty
on
a
hill
is
scittuated
)
a
rich
and
pleasant
Citty
where
the
Ambassador
was
lodged
in
the
house
of
Gregory
Euannowich
Micolin
,
late
Ambassador
,
to
her
Maiesty
of
England
.
It
might
be
fitting
for
me
to
speake
somewhat
of
this
famous
Riuer
,
as
is
I
thinke
for
length
,
and
bredth
,
any
(
one
)
excepted
in
the
world
,
but
so
many
excellent
writers
,
as
in
the
worthy
labors
of
Master
Richard
Hacklyute
,
haue
made
particular
mention
therof
,
as
it
induseth
me
,
to
leaue
the
description
of
this
Riuer
and
towne
,
to
those
that
haue
largely
and
painfuly
wrote
of
such
things
:
especially
to
M.
Doct.
Fletchers
true
relation
,
sometime
Ambas
.
to
this
Emperor
.
The
21.
of
September
,
we
went
from
Yeri-slaue
being
well
accompanied
from
the
Citty
,
passing
through
Shepetscoy
,
(
where
wee
lay
)
and
dwels
an
English
gentleman
named
Georg
Garland
,
sometime
seruant
to
that
Noble
but
vnfortunate
E.
of
Essex
,
of
whom
many
through
the
world
,
do
make
in
diuers
kinds
,
but
(
as
that
learned
and
heroycall
Poet
Sir
Phil.
Sidney
speaks
of
Prince
Plangus
)
neuer
any
can
make
but
honorable
mention
.
The
next
day
we
came
to
Rostoue
,
an
ancient
,
but
a
great
ruinous
town
,
wherof
is
one
of
their
Metropollitanes
named
.
Here
in
a
faire
house
the
Ambassa
.
lay
2.
daies
:
in
which
time
the
Emperors
Mate
.
wrote
to
our
Prestaue
,
that
the
Ambas
.
and
the
Kings
gentlemen
should
haue
ambling
horses
from
the
Monasteries
,
and
that
we
should
take
as
easie
Iourneyes
as
we
pleased
:
with
commaund
,
to
giue
content
to
euery
ones
desire
.
And
certainly
,
had
not
the
Emperor
as
then
bin
taking
a
Prograce
to
the
Monastery
of
Troiets
,
(
which
foure
times
a
yeare
for
Religious
causes
he
doth
)
we
had
receiued
more
especiall
fauors
.
Yet
he
that
hath
but
trauailed
to
know
what
Monasteries
are
,
and
how
prouided
of
al
things
,
may
easily
esteeme
it
,
a
great
ease
,
and
especiall
honour
to
haue
there
horses
.
The
25.
day
we
came
to
Perri-slaue
,
a
long
decayed
towne
,
where
in
a
rich
merchants
house
,
new
builded
,
the
Ambas
.
lodged
.
Here
(
in
regarde
of
the
Emperors
and
Princes
being
at
Troytes
,
which
was
but
of
our
easie
trauell
two
daies
iourny
)
we
lodged
3.
daies
,
&
then
departed
throgh
Doobna
to
Troites
,
that
fair
and
rich
Monastery
,
so
to
Bratte-sheene
,
and
Rostouekin
,
5.
vers
from
the
great
city
of
Musco
:
where
in
a
Churchmans
house
,
the
Ambass
.
that
n●ght
lodged
,
and
the
rest
in
verie
good
houses
,
for
so
small
a
Dereuena
.
This
night
the
Agent
hauing
bin
with
the
chancellor
came
to
visit
his
Lordshipp
,
and
let
him
vnderstand
,
that
the
next
morning
about
nine
of
clocke
,
he
should
be
honourably
brought
into
the
Musco
,
whereupon
euerie
man
prepared
accordingly
.
The
next
morow
,
being
the
4.
of
October
,
the
Prestaue
came
and
declared
to
his
Lordsh.
it
was
the
Emperors
pleasure
,
he
should
come
into
the
Mosco
that
forenoone
:
presently
after
came
M.
I.
Mericke
Agent
,
with
some
twenty
horses
to
attend
his
Lord
ship
,
and
informed
him
his
vnderstanding
,
in
his
comming
into
the
Mosco
,
and
that
he
shoulde
presently
be
sent
for
,
which
forth-with
was
performed
.
Then
we
did
ride
,
till
we
came
within
a
little
mile
of
the
many
1000.
of
Noblemen
and
Gentl.
on
both
sides
the
way
,
attended
on
horseback
to
receiue
his
Lordsh.
Where
the
Ambassador
alighted
from
his
Coatch
,
and
mounted
on
his
footcloth
horse
,
and
so
rode
on
with
his
trumpets
sounding
.
A
quarter
of
a
mile
farther
,
met
him
a
proper
and
gallant
gentleman
a
foote
of
the
Emperors
stable
,
who
with
cap
in
hand
,
declared
to
the
Ambassador
,
that
the
Emperor
,
the
young
Prince
,
and
the
maister
of
the
horse
,
had
so
far
fauored
him
,
as
to
send
him
a
Iennet
,
very
gorgeously
trapped
with
gold
,
Pearle
,
and
pretious
stone
▪
and
particularly
,
a
great
chaine
of
plated
gold
about
his
necke
,
to
ride
vpon
.
Whervpon
the
Ambassador
alighted
,
imbraced
the
gentleman
,
returned
humble
thanks
to
them
all
,
and
presently
mounted
.
Then
he
declared
that
they
likwise
had
sent
horsses
for
the
kings
Gentlem.
which
likewise
were
very
richly
adorned
,
then
for
all
his
followers
:
which
ceremony
or
state
performed
,
&
all
being
horssed
,
he
departed
,
wee
riding
orderlye
forward
,
till
we
were
met
by
three
great
Noblmen
,
seuered
from
the
rest
of
the
multitude
,
and
the
Emperors
Tolmache
or
interpreter
with
them
.
Of
which
state
the
Ambassador
it
may
seeme
,
had
for-knowledge
,
(
it
being
in
this
Countrey
a
custome
vsed
)
but
with
more
or
lesse
Noblemen
,
as
is
the
Emperors
fauour
and
grace
.
Likewise
vnderstanding
of
the
strange
Ceremony
of
first
allighting
from
their
horses
,
(
as
who
eyther
hath
read
sir
Ierome
Bowes
his
formality
and
obseruance
hereof
,
or
sir
Richard
Leaes
painefull
standing
vpon
the
priority
herein
)
may
thinke
the
Emperors
command
is
very
strait
therunto
,
and
as
they
thinke
much
honour
is
loste
to
dismount
first
:
but
they
being
within
speach
,
thus
began
that
Oration
they
could
neuer
well
conclude
:
Which
was
,
That
from
their
Lorde
and
Maister
the
mighty
Emperour
of
Rushia
,
&c.
they
had
a
message
to
deliuer
his
lordship
.
The
Ambassador
then
thinking
they
would
be
tedious
and
troublesome
with
their
vsuall
Ceremonies
;
preuented
their
farther
speeche
with
this
(
to
them
a
Spell
)
That
it
was
vnfitting
for
subiects
to
hold
discourse
in
that
kinde
of
complement
,
of
two
such
mighty
and
renowmed
Potentates
on
horsbacke
.
They
hereby
not
only
put
by
their
ceremonious
saddle-sitting
,
but
out
of
their
paper
instructions
for
the
state
thereof
ashamed
(
as
was
proude
Artexius
,
stepping
aside
in
the
daungerous
fight
with
Zealmene
)
they
allighted
sodainly
,
as
men
fearing
they
were
halfe
vnhorsed
,
and
the
Ambassador
presently
after
them
,
comming
very
courteously
all
three
,
saluting
the
Ambass
.
and
the
kings
gentlemen
,
taking
them
by
the
hands
.
Thus
like
a
scholler
,
too
olde
to
learne
by
rote
(
the
Duke
named
K.
Volladamur
Evanywich
Mawsolskoy
)
with
his
Lesson
before
him
,
declared
his
message
,
which
was
,
that
he
with
the
other
twoe
Noblemen
,
were

and

,

.
The
second
,
being
a
capt

of
gunners
(
the
Emperors
guard
)
named
Kazarine
Davydowich
Beaheetchoue
,
pronouncing
the
Emp.

,
said
he
was
sent
from
them
to
knowe
his
Lordsh.
health
and
vsage
,
with
the
kings
Gent.
The
third
,
was
one
of
the
Secretaries
,
named
Pheodor
Boulteene
,
obseruing
the
former
order
,
did
deliuer
what
he
had
in
command
from
the
Emp.
prince
and
Empresse
,
to
informe
the
Ambassador
of
their
much
fauor
towards
him
and
the
kings
Gent
,
in
prouiding
for
his
honorable
intertain
and
ease
,
a
fayre
large
house
to
lodge
in
:
Also
,
that
they
three
were
sent
from
the
Emp.
Prince
,
and
Empresse
,
to
be
his
Prestaues
,
to
supply
the
Emperors
goodnes
toward
him
,
to
prouide
his
necessaries
,
and
deliuer
anye
sute
it
pleased
the
Ambassadour
to
make
to
the
Emperour
.
To
all
which
the
Ambassador
very
wiselie
gaue
answere
(
as
they
made
report
vnto
the
Emp.
)
So
we
all
presently
mounted
again
,
the
Prestaues
on
either
hand
of
the
Amb.
his
horse
and
footcloth
being
led
by
his
Page
,
som
small
distance
,
his
cotch
behind
that
,
and
some
6000.
Gallants
after
behind
all
:
who
at
the
Ambas
.
riding
thorough
the
guard
,
that
was
made
for
him
,
very
courteously
bowed
him selfe
.
Thus
was
he
followed
by
thousands
,
and
with
in
the
three
walles
of
the
Citty
,
many
hundreds
of
yong
Noblemen
,
Gentlemen
,
and
rich
merchants
well
mounted
,
begirt
the
wayes
of
euery
side
:
diuers
on
foote
also
,
euen
to
the
gate
of
the
house
where
the
Ambassador
was
to
be
lodged
,
which
was
some
two
myles
.
Whether
being
come
,
hee
was
brought
into
his
bed-chamber
by
the
Noblemen
his
Prestaues
,
where
with
many
thanks
for
their
honorable
paines
;
they
were
dismist
,
betaking
themselues
to
their
further
affayres
.
The
next
morn
cam
three
other
Prestaues
with
the
former
,
to
knowe
of
his
Lordships
health
,
and
how
he
hadde
rested
the
night
past
:
withall
,
that
if
his
Lordshippe
wanted
any
thing
,
they
all
,
or
any
one
of
them
,
were
as
commaunded
,
so
ready
to
obey
therein
.
These
,
with
the
Enterpreter
and
six
Gent.
were
most
within
the
walles
,
lodged
in
a
house
ouer
the
gate
,
besides
wee
had
fifty
Gunners
to
attend
,
and
gard
vs
in
our
going
abroad
.
The
8.
of
Octob.
being
the
4.
day
after
our
comming
to
Musco
,
the
Prestaues
came
to
his
Lordship
to
let
him
vnderstand
,
they
heard
he
should
goe
vp
the
next
day
:
wherefore
they
desired
his
speech
and
Ambassage
to
the
Emperour
:
and
the
rather
,
that
the
Enterpreter
might
(
as
they
pretended
)
translate
it
.
To
this
purpose
,
very
earnestly
at
seueral
times
they
made
demaund
.
The
Ambassador
answered
,
that
he
was
sent
from
a
mighty
Prince
,
to
be
his
Ambassa
.
to
their
Emperor
,
hauing
with
no
small
danger
passed
the
Sea
,
and
a
second
water
trauaile
,
with
a
long
land
Iourney
,
and
stil
was
comforted
,
with
hope
to
see
his
Maiesties
cleere
eyes
,
that
for
a
welcome
was
the
tidings
thereof
vnto
him
?
Especially
,
to
haue
audience
within
so
short
a
space
as
he
might
not
lesse
do
then
ackcowledging
the
Emperors
great
fauour
towards
him
:
and
being
sent
to
their
maister
,
he
deemed
it
,
not
onely
a
dishonor
to
him
,
but
a
weaknes
in
them
,
to
require
that
at
his
hands
,
(
which
besides
that
he
would
never
do
)
he
could
not
,
being
to
speak
that
in
the
deliuery
was
according
as
it
pleased
god
,
to
giue
him
time
,
occasion
,
memorie
,
and
courage
,
being
to
come
before
a
strange
and
mighty
Prince
,
where
what
he
said
,
was
to
be
interpreted
as
pleased
their
Tolmatch
.
This
,
peremtorely
,
and
finally
was
his
aunswere
.
Yet
,
whensoeuer
he
did
go
,
as
he
was
both
willing
and
ready
at
all
houres
,
●e
desired
to
haue
certaine
horse
and
other
things
,
which
without
them
,
hee
could
not
be
so
well
prouided
of
.
So
,
after
banqueting
departed
away
rather
discontented
,
then
satisfied
.
Surely
it
is
a
custome
(
not
so
wise
as
auncient
)
for
them
to
fal
out
into
bad
language
,
if
they
canot
haue
their
willes
,
which
to
many
would
be
,
as
simple
a
demaund
,
as
it
were
folly
in
the
Ambassador
to
graunt
:
Especially
,
if
men
knew
how
vndiscreete
a
man
they
woulde
thinke
him
to
be
,
woulde
please
their
humors
herein
.
For
it
is
but
a
Stratigem
they
vse
to
vndermine
withal
,
that
they
may
report
the
magnanimity
or
pusillanimity
of
the
Ambas
.
vnto
the
Emperor
.
The
10.
of
October
,
his
Prestaues
brought
word
as
from
the
Lord
Chaunsellor
▪
that
he
thought
,
(
for
they
wil
neuer
tell
any
thing
to
come
for
certainty
)
his
Lordsh.
should
go
before
the
Emperor
the
next
morrow
,
therfore
prayed
him
to
prouide
:
also
,
that
he
should
haue
the
Em.
horses
to
ride
on
,
&
of
his
guard
to

Thus

,
deliuer
the

Then
the
particular
of
the
Presentes
,
and
some
other
ceremonies
:
which
performed
,
the
Ambassa
.
hauing
liberty
,
deliuered
so
much
of
his
Ambassage
,
as
the
time
and
occasion
then
affoorded
:
After
which
the
Emperor
arising
from
his
throne
,
demanded
of
the
King
of
Englands
health
,
the
Princes
,
and
Queenes

bene
vsed
since

:
to
al
which
with
obeysance
we
answered
as
was
meete
.
Then
the
young
Prince
demaunded
the
very
same

The
Ambassador
hauing
taken
the
Kings
Letter
of
his
Gentleman
Vsher
,
went
vp
after
his
obeysance
to
deliuer
it
,
which
the
Lord
Chansellor
would
haue
intercepted

But
the
Ambass

gaue

,
and
his

afterwards
deliueit
to
the
Lord
Chaunsellor

who
tooke

the
superscription
to
the
Emperor
and
Prince
,
held
it
in
his
hande
openly
with
the
seale
towardes

Then
the
Emperor
called
the
Ambassador
to
kisse
his
hand
,
which
he
did
,
as
likewise
the
Princes
,
and
with

returned
.
Then
did
he
call
for
the
Kings
Gentlemen
,
to
kisse
his
hande
,
and
the
Princes
,
which
they
after

did

Afterwards

)
Beeing
now
by
our
Prestaues
and
others
come
for
to
dinner
,
who
led
vs
through
much
presse
and
many
Chambers
to
one
very

rich

where
was
infinite
store
of

Towards

Vnto
whom
my

in

which
with
an
extra
ordinary
countenance
of
aged
Ioy
,
hee
receiued
,
making
one
of
their
honorable
Noddes
.
Thambassador
entred
the
dining
roome
,
where
wee
againe
viewed
the
Emperor
and
Prince
,
Seated
vnder
two
chaires
of
State
,
ready
to
dine
,
each
hauing
a
scul
of
pearle
on
their
bare
heades
,
but
the
Princes
was
but
a
Corronet
.
Also
their
vestments
were
chaunged
.
The
former
Duke
,
that
for
that
day
was
Th
ambassadors
Prestaue
,
came
,
as
commaunded
from
the
Emperor
,
and
placed
the
Ambassador
at
a
Table
,
on
the
Bench
side
some
twenty
foote
from
the
Emperor
.
Then
the
Kings
Gentlemen
,
Maister
Mericke
,
Maister
Edward
Cherry
,
and
al
the
rest
were
placed
,
so
that
our
eies
were
halfe
opposite
to
the
Emperor
.
Ouer
against
the
Ambassador
sat
his
Prestaues
vpermost
,
also
in
this
large
place
sat
the
Pri●y
Counsel
,
to
the
number
of
200.
Nobles
at
seuerall
tables
.
In
the
midst
of
this
hall
might
seeme
to
stand
a
great
Piller
,
round
about
which
,
a
great
heigth
stood
wonderfull
great
peeces
of
plate
,
very
curiously
wroght
with
all
manner
of
Beastes
,
Fishes
and
fowles
,
besides
some
other
ordinarye
peeces
of
seruiceable
plate
.
Being
thus
set
(
some
quarter
of
an
houre
as
it
were
,
feeding
our
eyes
with
that
fayre
Piller
of
plate
)
we
beheld
the
Emperors
table
serued
by
two
hund.
Noblemen
,
all
in
coates
of
cloth
of
gold
.
The
Princes
table
serued
with

yong

,
Astrican
,
Syberia
,
Tartaria
,
Chercasses
,
&
Russes
,
none
aboue
twenty
yeares
olde
.
Then
the
Emperor
sent
from
his
table
by
his
noble
seruitors
,
to
my
lord
and
the
kings
Gent.
30.
dishes
of
meate
,
and
to
each
a
loafe
of
extraordinary
fine
bread
.
Then
followed
a
great
number
of
straunge
and
rare
dishes
,
some
in
Siluer
,
but
most
of
massie
gold
:
with
boiled
,
baked
and
rosted
,
being
piled
vp
on
one
another
by
halfe
dozens
.
To
make
you
a
perticular
relation
,
I
should
do
the
entertainment
wrong
,
consisting
almost
of
innumerable
dishes
:
Also
,
I
should
ouercharge
my
memory
,
as
then
I
did
mine
eyes
and
stomache
,
little
delighting
the
Reader
,
because
Garlicke
and
Onions
,
must
besauce
many
of
my
words
,
as
then
it
did
the
most
parte
of
their
dishes
.
For
our
drinkes
,
they
consisted
of
many
excellent
kindes
of
Meandes
,
besides
all
sortes
of
Wine
,
and
Beere
.
I
assure
you
I
had
rather
drinke
to
you
a
daily
health
in
them
,
then
make
you
long
after
their
pleasantnesse
,
considering
the
colde
and
sower
voyage
you
must
vndertake
,
before
you
tast
of
their
vigor
and
sweetnesse
.
Diuers
times
by
name
,
the
Emperour
sente
vs
dishes
,
but
in
the
midst
of
dinner
he
called
the
Ambass
.
vp
to
him
,
and
dranke
our
kings
health
,
where
the
Emperor
held
som
discourse
of
our
king
&
state
.
But
at
one
time
(
striking
his
hand
aduisedly
on
his
breast
)
Oh
,
saide
he
,
my
deere
Sister
Queen
Elizab.
whom
I
loued
as
mine
own
hart
,
expressing
this
his
great
affection
almost
in
a
weeping
passion
.
The
Ambassador
receiuing
the
cup
from
his
Princelye
hand
,
returned
againe
to
his
owne
place
,
where
all
of
vs
standing
,
drank
the
same
helth
out
of
the
same
cup
,
being
of
fayre
Christall
,
as
the
Emperor
had
commanded
,
the
wine
(
as
farre
as
my
iudgement
gaue
leaue
)
being
Alligant
.
Thus
passing
some
foure
houres
in
banquetting
,
and
refreshing
our selues
too
plentifully
,
all
being
taken
away
,
we
did
arise
.
The
Ambassador
and
the
kings
gentlemen
beeing
called
by
name
to
receyue
from
his
Emperiall
handes
,
a
cup
(
or
rather
as
they
call
it
a
Yendover
)
of
excellent
redde
Meande
,
a
fauour
among
them
neuer
obserued
before
,
which
cups
for
they
wer
great
and
the
Meand
very
strong
,
we
often
sipped
at
,
but
without
hu●ting
our
memories
,
we
could
not
say
Amen
vnto
:
which
the
Emper
.
perceiuing
,
comanded
them
to
be
taken
away
,
saying
:
He
was
best
pleased
with
what
was
most
for
our
healthes
.
Thus
after
our
lowe
courtesies
performed
,
wee
departed
from
his
presence
,
riding
home
with
the
same
former
guarde
and
attendance
to
our
lodgings
,
where
our
Prestaues
as
for
that
instant
lefte
vs
,
but
shortly
after
they
cam
again
,
to
accompany
a
great
and
gallant
Duke
,
one
of
them
that
held
the
Emper.
golden
Polaxes
,
named
Knes
Romana
Phedorowich
Troya
Narove
(
whoe
was
sent
from
his
maiestie
,
to
make
the
Ambassador
,
and
the
kinges
Gentlemen
merry
:
likewise
hauing
instructions
to
drinke
their
Emperors
,
our
King
,
and
both
the
Princes
healths
,
and
diuers
Princes
else
,
which
hee
did
himselfe
verye
freelye
and
some
of
vs
,
as
many
of
them
as
we
could
with
our
owne
healths
,
there
being
such
plenty
of
Meandes
and
other
drinkes
,
as
might
wel
haue
made
forty
Russes
haue
stumbled
to
sleepe
.
Thus
light-headed
,
and
well
laded
,
especialy
if
you
take
knoledge
of
the
30.
yards
of
cloth
of
gold
,
and
the
two
standing
cups
with
couers
,
which
the
Ambassador
rewarded
him
withall
,
before
he
departed
.
And
surely
a
wise
Duke
shall
he
euer
bee
,
that
couers
his
backe
with
his
belly
,
and
by
taking
a
cup
or
two
extraordinary
can
swallow
down
a
hundreth
Markes
in
siluer
and
gold
,
to
recouer
his
P●pemeli●
,
as
they
call
it
:
I
say
his
wits
withall
,
but
he
had
it
giuen
him
with
a
verye
good
will
,
and
with
a
better
mind
,
then
he
had
that
did
so
lightly
carry
it
away
.
Now
there
was
after
our
first
being
at
the
Court
,
much
inquiry
made
whether
the
Ambassador
would
go
home
by
the
Narue
and
so
ouer
land
,
but
vpon
what
reasons
I
know
not
,
only
I
vnderstood
his
Lo.
should
haue
had
a
second
audience
forthwith
,
after
he
had
deliuered
by
writing
to
the
Em.
those
things
he
did
not
speake
before
,
being
sent
vnto
for
them
the
next
day
,
perhaps
the
heads
wherof
he
did
send
to
the
Emper.
that
his
councell
might
aduise
vpon
them
.
But
vnwelcome
newes
within
four
daies
after
our
audience
so
vnhappilye
came
,
as
not
onlye
our
affayres
but
any
else
,
except
counsell
against
present
danger
,
was
not
regarded
.
For
this
was
held
for
currant
,
that
one
who
named
himselfe
Demetre
Evanowich
Beola
,
as
the
son
of
their
late
Emperor
,
Evan
Vasillowich
,
he
that
in
the
raigne
of
Pheodor
Evannowich
his
brother
(
at
what
time
Boris
Pheodorwich
now
Emperour
,
then
Protector
)
was
in
his
infancy
(
as
was
thought
)
murthered
at
Ougleets
,
is
now
reuiued
againe
,
and
vp
in
Armes
for
his
right
and
inheritance
:
so
did
he
distract
the
Emp.
&
kingdome
,
such
a
world
of
tales
troubled
the
commons
that
the
Ambass
.
must
necessarily
bee
in
some
feare
,
because
the
Emp.
and
State
were
in
all
,
and
thought
he
would
bee
perswaded
it
was
but
deceipt
,
yet
the
butchering
of
him
,
or
at
least
the
intent
,
much
ter●ified
his
soule
and
conscience
:
wherupon
presently
was
sent
an
army
of
200000.
souldiers
,
eyther
to
take
or
sley
him
.
But
hee
was
so
strengthened
with
Poles
,
Cassackes
,
&c
that
a
number
of
Russes
yealded
to
his
obedience
.
Insomuch
as
he
hath
byn
the
author
of
more
bloudshed
,
then
hath
beene
there
of
many
yeares
(
although
these
Emperors
haue
continuall
warres
with
diuers
Nations
.
)
Notwithstanding
the
Emperors
fauour
was
much
,
and
greater
euery
daie
then
other
to
the
Ambassador
and
the
kin
,
Gentlemen
.
For
we
had
liberty
to
ride
at
our
pleasure
,
and
to
this
ende
had
the
Emperors
sleades
or
horses
vpon
demaund
,
with
one
of
our
Prestaues
,
&
other
gent.
to
accompany
and

went

attended
where
his

and
they
safely
beholde
him
,
who
rode
in
a
very
faire

hauing
a

Palfrey
led

and
were
said
to
be

,
which
I
verily
beleeue
,
because
certainly
they
were

.
Then
came
the

standing

gratiously
questioning

and
their

which
with
lowe
courtesie
they
made
answere
vnto
:
so
his
Maiesty
departed
,
and
they
expected
his
return
,
which
wold
be
within
one

,
then
came
before
the
Lord

wished

to

,
very
honorably

kindly
bespeaking

,
and
Maister

(

woulde

,
willing
his

Within

After

to

much

The

kept
here
a
great
Christmas
hauing
a
good
company
,
not
without
some
sports
befitting
his
state
,
and
the
present

.
Vpon

very

wherein
they
expressed
their
good

,
and
loue
,
as
to
him
,
not
onely
had
or
would
deserue
it
,
but
accounted
it
a
vertue
,
not
to
be
vnthankfull
or
vnmindfull
of
any
kindnes
bestowed
on
him
.
The
8.
of
February
the
Emperor
sent
vs

to
ride
abroade
,
and
this
day
the
rather
,
that
we
might
behold
a

seuenteene

,
and

About
this
time
returned
Peter
Basman
,
one
of
the
generals
,
who
had
performed
very
honourable
seruice

and
certainely
,
he
was
the
man
of
greatest

to
obtaine

falling

too
humblie

he
could
not

was
much
reioyced
to
see
the
Amba
.
(
whom
she
knew
before
)
at
her
house
in
so
far
a
Country
.
There
the
honest
and
kind
Agent
(
by
the
faire
hands
of
his
vertuous
wife
)
after
the
banquet
,
presented
his
Lord
ship
with
a
faire
standing
gilt
cup
and
couer
,
worth
thirty
pound
,
likewise
his
Prestaue
and
Enterpreter
,
very
bountifully
,
so
returning
to
the
comp.
for
that
time
we
left
.
One
obseruation
I
there
made
,
of
the
great
desire
and
often
offer
of
the
Prestaue
when
hee
saw
Mistris
Mericke
,
to
be
gone
:
saying
,
it
befitted
him
not
to
behold
such
creatures
.
But
the
Enterpreter
(
being
a
Dutch-man
)
borne
to
our
English
fashions
,
and
acquainted
with
the
Agent
,
perswaded
him
to
Patience
,
both
to
his
profit
,
pleasure
,
and
belly
delight
.
Thence
(
after
a
like
bountiful
supp●r
)
about
10.
in
the
night
we
departed
.
One
honorable
kindnesse
of
the
Chaunsellor
I
must
not
forget
,
who
imagining
the
Kinges
Gentlemen
woulde
that
daye
●ide
abroad
,
sent
to

to
make
offer
of
his
Horse
and

at
our

,
but
we
not
minding
to
leaue
the
Ambassador
for
our
pleasures
,
returned
humble
thankes
to
his
Lordsh
▪
for
his
honorable
kindnesse
,
not
resoluing
as
that
day
to
take
more

he

The

being
honorably
accompanied
with
thousands
of
gallants
of

and
beto●ke
our selues

pleasant

in

such
a

as
this

would
wonder
at
,
in

with
their

Thus
accompanied
with
Maister
Iohn
Mericke
,
M.
William
Russell
,
somtimes
Agent
for
the
Dutch

and
many
other

,
we
easily
rode

30.
myles
from
the
Musco
.
The
next
morow
taking
leaue
of
them
all
,
we
continued
our
iourny
50.
and
60.
vers
a
day
easily
.
Our
Prestaue
had
in
command
to
let
our
Ambas
.
see
any
Monasterye
or
place
hee
desired
,
in
his
trauayle
:
also
to
lodge
in
what
houses
it
pleased
him
,
in
any
Cittye
or
Towne
:
and
where
the
English
Merchants
had
houses
,
that
the
Ambas
.
might
haue
them
,
which
indeed
hee
desired
,
aswell
in
respect
they
were
the
fayrest
and
most
at
his
command
:
as
also
to
vnderstand
their
courses
,
dealings
,
and
behauiour
of
the
seruants
that
kept
them
,
and
other
speciall
thinges
,
which
but
by
personally
there
being
,
he
should
neuer
truly
haue
vnderstood
.
And
for
the
generall
good
of
the
company
,
I
know
he
did
that
Seruice
,
that
while
it
stands
and
he
liues
,
they
neede
not
fall
into
any
vnaduised
courses
,
if
by
him
they
will
but
be
councelled
,
being
furnished
euery
way
with
a
ful
vnderstanding
and
iudgment
to
that
honorable
intent
.
Especially
,
meeting
here
with
so
honest
&
discreet
an
Agent
,
so
well
beloued
of
the
Emp.
Prince
and
Nobility
,
so
approued
of
by
the
merchants
,
in
as
good
esteeme
of
al
other
,
so
thoroughly
experienced
in
affaires
,
as
well
concerning
their
trade
,
as
their
customes
,
and
demeanure
,
hauing
a
mind
and
ability
,
I
am
perswaded
for
the
good
and
benefit
of
the
whole
company
,
as
neuer
had
nor
will
succeede
a
fitter
man
.
The
23.
of
march
we
came
to
Yery-slaue
being
satterday
,
and
there
rested
our
Saboth
,
where
the
company
hath
a
very
faire
and
tight
house
,
which
we
lay
in
,
and
surely
an
honest
discreet
seruant
then
kept
it
.
From
hence
we
tooke
our
Iourney
the
25.
because
we
feared
the
breaking
vp
of
the
way
,
we
made
great
but
very
pleasant
iourneys
,
so
as
the
29.
we
came
to
Vollagde
,
wher
the
Ambas
.
lay
at
the
English
house
,
within
the
walles
whereof
it
hath
a
great
many
of
roomes
,
as
chambers
,
worke-houses
and
the
lyke
,
but
the
house
it selfe
is
very
old
,
and
stands
with
an
humble
body
as
though
it
woulde
shortly
kisse
the
earth
,
at
our
being
here
the
company
had
many
ser.
and
the
Amb.
tooke
a
course
they
should
thriue
by
his
there
lodging
,
allowing
them
for
their
beere
for
himselfe
and
the
Kings
Gent.
their
whole
diet
:
being
desirous
to
●o
the
company
good
and
their
seruants
no
hurt
.
After
Easter
weeke
was
passed
,
the
Prestaue
came
to
desire
that
the
Ambas
.
would
appoint
some
to
go
and
make
choise
of
boates
which
then
lay
vpon
the
Riuer
,
that
they
might
be
fitted
for
his
Lordship
.
which
accordinglie
verie
carefullie
was
performed
,
the
Gouernor
of
the
towne
hauing
a
Letter
from
the
Emperor
to
giue
the
Ambassa
.
ful
content
,
as
indeed
without
detraction
we
had
,
to
the
wonderment
of
the
common
people
.
Within
few
daies
after
we
heard
Newes
certainly
of
the
Emp.
suddaine
and
vntimely
death
:
which
considering
,
neyther
the
Prestaue
,
the
gouernor
,
or
Bishop
,
had
not
or
would
not
of
ten
da●es
after
take
knowledge
,
we
might
in
the
meane
time
haue
doubted
of
,
but
that
his
Lordship
had
it
from
Maister
Iohn
Mericke
by
letter
particularly
.
which
news
as
indeed
ther
was
great
cause
was
very
il
welcome
to
the
Ambas
.
much
troubling
him
for
diuers
respects
,
wherfore
vpon
mature
deliberation
,
as
whose
thoughts
then
only
were
intended
that
way
,
he
resolued
forthwith
to
send
vp
to
the
Musco
,
to
this
end
:
therfore
early
bestirring
the
next
morne
he
sent
for
his
Prestaues
,
who
came
willingly
and
chearfully
to
heare
that
with
great
heauines
and
sorrow
,
which
yet
they
were
so
wise
as
not
to
beleeue
though
the
day
and
houre
of
his
death
,
with
the
maner
of
his
enterring
,
were
to
them
by
the
Am.
own
mouth
deliuered
:
but
he
beleeued
it
,
and
therefore
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
he
would
send
vp
post
,
and
write
to
the
Prince
,
their
expected
Emp.
and
others
concerning
affaires
of
importance
.
To
that
end
he
demanded
poste
horses
and
convoy
accordinglye
:
which
demand
,
though
yet
for
the
suddainnes
and
heauines
did
somewhat
distract
their
heads
,
haue
sildome
easie
resolutions
but
to
sleeping
:
yet
after
desiring
an
houres
liberty
,
and
therin
consulting
with
the
Bish.
and
Gent.
of
the
towne
,
it
was
effected
.
So
then
his
Lordsh.
requested
M.
Edw.
Cherry
(
thogh
he
was
best
to
be
commanded
)
as
being
vsed
to
ride
poast
,
hauing
the
language
,
knowing
the
factions
of
the
Countrey
,
and
an
easie
command
in
euerie
town
because
of
his
bountifulnes
,
himself
no
doubt
well
pondring
the
waighte
of
his
message
,
with
the
care
and
speed
therein
to
be
vsed
,
indeed
as
the
onely
he
,
whether
you
consider
the
intrest
the
Amb.
had
in
him
,
or
his
seruiceable
minde
,
often
manifesting
his
duty
to
his
Lordship
:
euen
from
his
first
going
from
the
Arch-angell
to
this
present
.
Thus
hauing
al
thinges
meete
and
fit
for
their
speedie
iourney
,
and
weightie
busines
he
with
one
of
the
Emperors
Gentlemen
vnderwent
this
dangerous
and
hard
trauaile
.
Here
it
might
be
befitting
this
my
relation
,
to
declare
somwhat
at
large

Emp.
death
,
the
cause
or
disease
,

nature
,

,

,
and

The
Princes
succeeding
,
the
Nobles
mourning
,
and
the
commons
censuring
,
each
of
which
I
could
with
litle
labor
perform
,
but
I
know
that
man
is
made
to
vndergo
much
enuie
,
doth
vndertake
to
write
of
Princes
persons
or
pollicies
:
which
whosoeuer
hereof
writes
truely
must
necessarily
incur
,
it
being
as
a
fit
subiect
for
another
Plato
to
write
of
:
so
for
a
free
born
spirit
to
wade
in
,
my selfe
protesting
rather
a
will
to
be
reputed
timorus
,
then
a
desire
to
haue
the
least
detraction
,
only
because
I
wil
not
be
thought
dumbe
in
such
a
speaking
age
,
(
the
time
so
falling
out
at
my
being
there
)
nor
to
want
intelligence
sufficient
to
tell
the
truth
,
I
shal
say
something
,
as
accounting
him
a
foole
,
vppon
a
iuste
occasion
sp●ake●
nothing
.
His
death
was
very
suddaine
,
and
as
it
was
in
it selfe
,
verye
straunge
:
for
within
some
two
houres
after
dinner
hauinge
(
as
hee
vsuallie
had
)
his
Doctors
with
him
,
who
lefte
him
in
theyr
Iudgements
in
health
,
as
the
good
meale
hee
made
could
witnes
,
for
he
dined
well
,
and
fed
plentifully
,
though
presently
after
as
may
be
thought
,
feeding
ouer
much
,
he
felt
himselfe
not
onely
heauy
,
but
also
pained
in
his
stomacke
:
presently
went
into
his
chamber
,
laid
himselfe
vppon
his
bed
,
sent
for
his
Doctors
(
which
alwaies
speeded
)
yet
before
they
came
,
he
was
past
,
being
speechles
and
soone
after
dying
.
Before
his
death
(
as
speedy
as
it
was
)
hee
would
be
shorne
,
and
new
christned
,
what
the
cause
was
otherwise
then
the
griefe
,
inward
sorrow
,
with
diuers
distractions
about
the
wars
,
and
their
badde
successe
,
fearing
the
worste
on
his
part
,
onely
God
knowes
:
yet
who
,
so
remembers
Gods
iudgements
,
or
Princes
pollicies
for
kingdomes
,
with
mans
inherent
sinfulnes
:
and
considereth
the
one
with
the
other
,
may
be
satisfied
,
if
not
contented
.
It
is
reported
,
and
I
am
to
the
truth
thereof
rightly
perswaded
,
that
being
,
in
this
present
not
being
,
some
of
his
Counsellors
and
Nobility
demaunded
,
if
he
woulde
not
swear
them
a
new
to
the
Prince
,
and
whether
he
shold
not
be
their
Em.
his
answer
(
with
much
trembling
)
was
,
as
it
pleased
God
,
and
the
Commons
thereby
,
presuming
of
the
sufficiency
,
of
their
former
oaths
,
but
dispairing
of
the
commons
,
if
not
with●l
fearing
gods
iudgments
.
For
the
Princes
succeeding
I
must
defer
that
to
hereafter
,
but
for
the
mourning
,
who
doth
consider
the
fodaine
losse
in
that
time●●f
rebellion
,
of
their
best
,
chief
,
and
wisest
heads
,
whose
first
election
was
from
their
own
applause
,
the
youth
,
with
the
inocency
of
the
Prince
,
herewithal
remembring
many
strang
plots
long
time
vsed
by
the
hous
of
the
Godonoves
,
and
flattring
themselues
in
theyr
good
successe
,
and
now
the
general
opinion
in
the
right
of
Demetre
,
whereby
all
their
hopes
ended
,
may
thinke
there
was
moorning
,
sorrow
and
feare
,
as
in
those
whose
consciences
are
compacted
all
of
feare
.
For
this
many
headed-beastes
of
the
multitude
,
none
caring
how
nor
what
hee
spake
,
beeing
naturally
euer
suspicious
of
the
best
,
howe
coulde
they
digest
this
,
which
of
all
other
was
the
worst
?

with
the

the

the

,
the

,
the

,
the

,
being
all
as

For

person

well

,
teaching
out
of

of
an

fit

being

ne●er
till

deliue●ed

neuer

(

but
in

One
rather
obeyed
than

,
being
feared
where
he
was
not
serued
,
protected
by
the
mighty
,
rather
than
any

,
perhaps
vnder
pretence
of
continuall

to
oppresse

couching
tyranny
vnder
pollicy

long
experience
(
in
opposite
actions
,
had
made
as
fit
to

thereby

as
by

But
gaining
that
Crowne
with
much
cunning
,
that
hee

held
it

doubtlesse
vpholding

in

that
it

,

and

,
were
but
the
life
of
his
deere
son
,
neuer
aduising
,
entertaining
,
no
not
praying
without
him
:
In
all
Ambassies
&
negotiations
,
remembring
his
sons
name
with
his
own
,
louing
him
(
being
louely
)
for
that
himselfe
would
be
loued
,
vnwilling
to
spare
his
presence
,
desirous
to
haue
him
at
all
occasions
before
his
eies
.
I
shal
not
doe
amisse
,
to
giue
a
taste
of
the
fruit
sprung
from
so
stately
a
tree
.
Being
by
a
learned
and
wel
trauailed
gent.
diuers
times
partic●larly
aduised
,
to
let
the
Prince
take
some
mo●e
(
then
no
recreation
)
by
which
meanes
hee
might
aswell
prolong
his
life
,
as
instruct
his
iudgment
and
delight
his
mind
.
Oh
,
would
the
Empe.
answer
,
one
son
is
no
son
:
nay
I
am
perswaded
,
three
sons
to
me
is
but
halfe
a
son
.
But
had
I
sixe
sons
,
then
I
might
safely
say
I
had
one
,
howe
then
shoulde
I
part
with
that
at
any
time
,
I
know
not
to
be
mine
for
any
tim
.
This
may
giue
satisfaction
to
anye
vnderstanding
both
of
his
feares
and
gelousies
:
his
great
loue
,
and
much
care
.
Another
saying
of
the
Emperour
was
this
,
and
then
let
any
iudg
what
I
haue
writ
,
&
why
.
It
was
a
vsuall
speech
with
the
Emp.
vpon
good
reason
:
to
say
he
was
the
Lord
and
father
of
his
sonne
,
yet
withall
,
That
he
was
not
only
his
seruant
,
but
his
very
slaue
.
And
thus
he
proued
it
That
hee
might
command
him
,
and
that
he
begat
him
.
For
the
second
,
that
all
his
actions
were
onely
for
his
seruice
though
not
commaunded
by
him
,
yet
in
his
owne
nature
and
affection
vrged
therunto
.
For
his
chiefe
good
he
was
his
addopted
Prince
,
and
that
he
knew
it
was
his
duty
,
he
remembred
euer
more
he
was
his
father
as
his
Soueraigne
able
,
and
as
his
father
obliged
.
For
the
third
that
he
was
his
Slaue
,
he
woulde
alleage
for
him
in
many
kindes
,
he
knewe
that
hee
had
done
that
,
could
not
but
from
a
Tyrant
,
bee
required
of
his
vassals
,
and
the
greater
was
his
subiection
heerein
,
that
he
was
forced
to
commit
that
no
Potentate
could
exact
(
I
say
neither
by
law
nor
Conscienc●
)
from
his
Slaues
,
neither
any
could
therevnto
be
commaunded
.
This
being
spoken
from
him
,
who
best
knew
his
owne
secretes
,
may
be
euerie
way
held
enough
for
any
to
vnderstand
sufficiently
by
:
yet
that
hee
is
to
be
registred
among
none
of
the
worst
Princes
,
that
could
with
such
ease
attain
so
great
an
Empire
,
hauing
no
iust
Tytle
therunto
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
to
be
recorded
among
the
famous
(
I
leaue
to
saye
wherfore
.
)
vpon
what
ground
of
reason
was
his
greatnesse
in
the
late
Emp.
daies
,
especially
in
the
sonnes
gouernment
,
being
Protector
.
The
pollicie
of
that
time
when
he
aymed
at
the
kingdome
,
his
election
by
generall
consent
,
after
the
death
of
Pheodor
Euaniwich
,
and
the
resignation
of
the
Empresse
his
sist.
Irenia
Pheodurna
.
His
many
refusals
to
be
Emperor
,
with
the
generall
and
perticular
desire
that
he
must
take
it
:
the
necessity
that
one
must
speedily
be
chosen
:
his
conditions
in
taking
it
,
with
entytling
his
son
after
him
:
the
form
of
their
Oaths
to
them
both
so
soon
as
he
was
established
:
his
wife-seeming
and
applausible
Raigne
,
till
the
late
demaunde
made
by
Demetre
,
when
he
had
gouerned
8.
yeares
,
&
thervpon
his
sudden
death
and
other
occurrents
,
whoe
wisely
scans
,
must
acknowledge
him
(
but
only
in
his
finall
and
fatall
iudgment
)
a
prudent
&
pollitik
Prince
,
as
any
times
make
mention
of
,
&
that
if
his
latter
end
answered
not
the
expectation
of
so
happy
a
begining
,
with
a
like
prosperous
continuance
,
It
is
in
the
like
case
to
be
demanded
,
why
Acbitophel
murdred
himselfe
,
because
(
in
but
one
th●●●
)
his
councell
was
not
followed
:
the
true
eccho
returnes
,
(
because
his
councell
was
not
followed
)
and
why
Iudas
would
hang
himselfe
when
he
had
betraied
his
master
:
the
reason
was
(
He
had
betrayed
his
Mayster
.
)
Of
this
Emperour
it
is
reported
by
Sir
Ierom
Horsey
,
in
his
writinges
in
M.
Hacklayts
workes
,
that
the
aforesayd
Emperour
when
he
was
a
Subiect
,
had
12000.
li.
yeerely
,
besides
his
places
of
Honour
;
as
beeing
Protector
,
Gouernour
of
the
Kingdomes
of
Cozan
and
Astracan
,
&c.
Vnto
which
,
Doctor
Fletchers
report
agrees
;
whereof
3500.
Marks
was
giuen
him
by
Pheodor
Euanch
at
one
time
in
one
Sheire
:
And
howsoeuer
towards
his
ende
,
he
grew
very
myserable
and
couetous
;
which
was
not
the
least
cause
of
his
ouerthrow
:
insomuch
as
it
was
obserud
,
himselfe
would
often
take
notice
of
the
passage
to
his
Seller
and
Buttery
.
Not
much
vnlike
(
in
that
kind
)
one
writes
of
the
French
King
:
Il
▪
feit
d'argent
auec
ses
dens
,
That
he
made
Mony
with
his
teeth
.
Yet
when
he
aspired
to
the
Empire
,
note
his
greatnesse
,
with
his
bountie
;
first
to
Sir
Ierom
Bowes
when
he
was
there
Ambassadour
:
then
to
Sir
Ierom
Horsey
,
when
he
was
there
Messenger
,
(
recorded
by
themselues
)
yea
euen
to
her
late
Maiestie
of
blessed
memorie
:
the
particulers
are
set
downe
in
the
fore-mentioned
Booke
of
Voyages
:
notwithstanding
what
the
lord
of
Pibrac
obserues
in
his
Quadrones
,
is
fulfilled
in
this
Emperour
▪

farre
;
for
soone
their
glorie
dies
In
some
neere
Bogg
,
by
their
selfe-furie
burst
.
Two
pollecies
of
the
sayd
Emperour
,
I
shall
willingly
acquaint
you
with
,
for
diuers
reasons
.
One
was
,
when
hee
caused
fire
to
be
kindled
in
foure
partes
of
Moskoe
;
whereat
himselfe
was
noted
to
be
very
diligent
,
with
all
his
Nobles
and
Courtiers
:
and
after
it
was
quenched
,
he
sent
his
Bountie
to
them
all
,
that
builded
anew
their
Houses
,
and
repayde
all
their
losses
:
And
this
was
but
to
stopp
the
Rumour
then
was
so
common
,
of
his
strange
gayning
the
Empire
:
by
which
Stratagem
of
his
,
when
his
people
were
readie
to
Mutanie
,
they
were
created
anew
,
good
Subiectes
;
yet
did
admire
his
not
onely
Care
,
but
goodnes
towards
them
all
.
A
second
,
was
at
that
time
the
Land
was
visited
with
a
mighty
Famine
,
and
as
great
a
Plague
(
some
foure
yeares
since
)
whereof
a
third
of
the
whole
Nation
is
rate●
to
haue
dyed
:
and
the
murmuring
multitu●e
sayd
the
cause
was
,
their
el●cting
of
a
Murder●r
to
the
Empire
;
wherefore
God
did
thus
visite
them
:
Wher●vpon
,
he
caused
G●lleries
to
be
bui●ded
round
about
the
vtmost
wall
of
the
great
cittie
of
Moskoe
,
and
there
appoynted
d●yly
to
be
giuen
to
the
poore
,
twentie
thousande
pounds
sterling
:
which
was
accordingly
performed
for
one
Month
;
Wherevpon
the
Common
peoples
mouthes
and
bellies
were
well
stopped
.
Yet
notwithstanding
he
dyed
,
and
that
v●timely
;
as
a
Noble
man
of
Fraunce
well
sayth
:
Men
seldome
see
Tyrants
or
vsurpers
,
liue
long
or
temperatly
;
or
die
well
and
naturally
.
Now
if
I
can
be
thought
blame
worthy
,
which
I
conf●ss●
,
no
not
of
them
m●st
partiall
;
yet
the
mo●t
that
Natio●
can
(
if
they
would
)
say
any
thing
to
mee
,
reueren●i●g
an●
approouing
their
owne
prouerbes
,
is
this
:
(
As
the
Dogge
doth
barke
,
the
Winde
carries
it
away
)
:
In
answere
whereof
,
I
say
;
it
is
the
true
nature
and
qualitie
of
a
Dogge
to
barke
,
yet
he
seldome
hurtes
that
so
barkes
:
for
our
auncient
Prouerbe
is
,
The
barking
Dogge
bites
least
,
as
the
curstest
Cow
hath
the
Shortest
Hornes
.
Heere
we
lodged
till
the
6.
of
May
,
beeing
wearied
with
the
inconstancie
and
ill-come
newes
of
flying
reportes
,
wherevpon
the
time
of
the
yeere
req●iring
,
the
Ambassadour
re●olued
to
passe
downe
the
Riuer
to
Colmigro
,
as
well
that
he
might
the
sooner
haue
newes
from
England
,
as
happely
to
be
out
of
feare
of
any
disaster
,
the
rumours
being
so
innumerable
and
vncertaine
,
as
they
were
doudtfull
,
and
fearefull
;
and
indeed
the
extraordinary
care
for
the
Ambassadours
prouision
,
especially
the
large
and
well
builded
Boats
,
neuer
the
like
i●
memorie
before
,
wrought
in
the
peoples
opinions
many
contrarieties
,
as
obsurde
as
vntrue
:
One
,
that
the
young
Prince
necessarily
,
and
personally
,
must
bee
,
and
was
in
English
apparrell
,
within
the
Ambassadours
lodging
:
Else
,
that
it
was
vnpo●sible
,
that
Great
men
should
so
willingly
obey
,
and
so
earnestly
commaund
,
for
the
ful
content
●f
all
,
in
all
thinges
:
Likewise
else
,
where
it
was
reported
,
that
the
Prince
would
come
downe
,
and
go
ouer
into
England
with
the
Ambassadour
:
Also
,
farre
of
from
vs
,
it
was
sayd
,
that
the
Prince
and
the
Ambassadour
,
were
in
Cheines
to
be
sent
vp
to
the
Moskoe
:
But
it
repenteth
me
of
relating
thus
much
;
onely
you
may
obserue
hereby
,
their
willingnes
to
rebell
:
also
the
wilfulnesse
of
the
Commons
,
to
be
as
great
as
their
ignoraunce
;
if
not
as
sencelesse
as
their
Intelligence
:
But
we
are
on
the
faire
and
pleasant
Riuer
,
within
fiue
faire
and
conuenient
Boates
,
with
two
great
Loddyackes
for
prouisions
,
rowing
with
winde
and
streame
,
from
the
ouerflowing
Tyde
of
these
reports
;
and
within
twelue
dayes
are
safely
arriued
at
Colmigro
,
where
we
lodged
at
the
Comp
house
;
surely
the
largest
,
tytest
,
and
fairest
in
all
the
Countrie
;
and
of
Ware-houses
,
Ambarres
,
&
Work-houses
as
well
accommodated
.
For
our
being
at
Colmigro
,
it
was
not
much
vnlike
(
for
the
strangenes
of
reports
,
troublesomnes
of
the
State
,
and
mutable
euents
of
time
)
to
that
one

(
Oh

of

with
some

;
But
by
the
goodnes
of
God
,
and
the
gratiousnes
of
our
renowned
King
,
within
short
and
memorable
time
,
restored
in
his
posteritie
,
and

The

the

ouerthrow
of
a
mightie
Emperour
,
and
his
all

famelie
,
neuer

:
and
then
,
Oh
then
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
to
a
terrible
Iudgement
for
their
high-offending
,
Heauen-crying-sinnes
.

of

(
I

)
reuiewing
the

of
his

,
and
compari●g
the
age
of
his
Youth
with
the

heades
of

not

in
eue●y

not

a

(
beeing
a

of
so
many
Vertues
)
the
Heire
of
the
Kingdome
,
his
Emperour
,
Lord
and
Maister

whereupon
hee
speeded
with
the
winges
of
Hope
,
Honour
,
and
Confidence
,
to
deliuer
himselfe
in
such
an
infected
and
pestiferous
a

the

of
him
either

was

might

neither
from

Loyaltie

Also

prostrate●

Ries
Vasili
Euanch
Goleeche
,
the
other
Generall
a
man
of
great
birth
,
and
in
the
prioritie
of
place
,
to
be
receiued
before
P.
Basman
.
All
which
,
the
now
well
knowne
newly
opinionated
Emperour
very
gratiously
receiued
,
happely
not
without
some
iealowsie
of
many
particulers
;
as
of
the
Generals
,
the
world
surmizing
a
former
correspondence
to
be
hel●
euer
since
a
Parle
ha●
,
at
what
time
he
was
besiedged
,
and
is
aforesaid
to
performe
very
honorable
seruice
;
and
for
the
same
had
so
applausable
a
receiuing
by
the
olde
Emperours
appoyntment
into
the
Moskoe
.
After
this
Generall
,
from
the
Prince
and
Counsell
was
foorthwith
sent
many
thousand
Rolles
or
Markes
,
they
euer
hauing
the
discretion
of
wi●e
and
politique
States
to
account
it
as
the
Nerues
and
Sinewes
;
but
now
were
perswaded
it
would
prooue
the
Soule
and
Hart
of
the
Warres
:
but
the
generall
receiued
,
he
could
not
accept
it
and
his
Generall
,
being
offered
it
by
the
faythfull
treasorers
,
would
not
,
but
gaue
them
this
answere
.
Hee
would
,
they
that
sent
that
(
though
in-directly
to
him
)
should
know
,
Hee
who
had
the
Patience
to
forbeare
a
Tyrant
vsurper
,
sitting
vpon
his
Throne
so
long
;
And
hitherto
of
himselfe
(
by
his
stranger
Friends
)
had
thus
happely
and
farre
,
entered
into
his
Right
,
could
not
now
want
that
should
incourage
those
noble
Spirites
,
fought
with
him
in
so
iust
a
quarrell
:
neither
did
he
hold
it
Princelike
,
to
receiue
,
from
his
Enemie
in
that
kinde
,
especially
by
their
hands
could
not
shew
their
face
without
blushing
to
their
commaunding
Lord
:
Yet
when
hee
came
to
receiue
the
Crowne
and
Kingdome
,
(
which
he
assured
himselfe
and
them
,
would
be
very
shortly
)
hee
doubted
not
this
monegs
would
be
then
infinitely
increased
,
as
should
be
his
honour
,
and
their
affection
.
So
hee
let
them
haue
safe
conduct
to
depart
.
This
falling
away
of
them
,
the
State
so
greatly
blinded
vpon
(
especially
Peter
Basman
,
whom
I
neither
dare
commend
,
nor
will
condemne
,
because
I
am
not
studious
in
his
arguments
:
and
the
answere
from
the
Emperour
)
with
the
many
continually
doubts
of
the
issue
,
hastied
the
last
breath
of
the
once
hoped-for
Prince
,
as
from
him
that
(
though
an
Fmperour
,
was
much
hoodwinck●
by
his
politique
kinsmen
great
counsellours
)
now
might
easilie
discerne
those
times
to
outrun
his
,
and
must
notoriously
know
(
though
happely
his
youth
and
innocencie
shadowed
the
reflection
)
that
his
Sonne
was
setting
or
beclouded
at
noone-dayes
,
and
that
the
right
heire
was
(
and
would
be
when
he
was
not
)
apparant
:
that
his
fathers
Empire
and
Gouernment
,
was
but
as
the
Poeticall
Furie
in
a
Stage-action
,
compleat
yet
with
horrid
and
wofull
Tragedies
:
a
first
,
but
no
second
to
any
Hamlet
;
and
that
now
Reuenge
,
iust
Reuenge
was
comming
with
his
Sworde
drawne
against
him
,
his
royall
Mother
,
and
dearest
Sister
,
to
fill
vp
those
Murdering
Sceanes
;
the
Embryon
whereof
was
long
since
Modeld
,
yea
digested
(
but
vnlawfully
and
too-too
viue-ly
)
by
his
dead
selfe-murdering
Father
:
such
and
so
many
being
their
feares
and
terrours
;
the
Diuell
aduising
,
Despaire
counselling
,
Hell
itselfe
instructing
;
yea
,
wide-hart-opening
to
receiue
a
King
now
,
rather
than
a
Kingdome
;
as
L.
Bartas
deuinely
sayth
:
They
who
expect
not
Heauen
,
finde
a
Hell
euery
where
.
These
wicked
instruments
,
the
whole
familie
of
the
Godonoues
,
their
adherents
and
factors
,
making
a
second
(
but
no
deuine
)
damned
Iurie
;
these
deiected
and
abiected
,
as
not
knowing
how
to
trust
any
,
they
so
distrusted
themselues
,
like
men
betweene
murdering
others
,
and
being
massacred
them selues
;
holding
this
their
onely
happinesse
,
that
they
were
then
onely
myserable
(
Noblenesse
yet
esteeming
any
preferment
felicitie
,
but
Honorable
imployment
)
:
As
those
whose
vnmercifull
greatnes
gayned
a
pittifull
commiseration
,
accounting
Securitie
neither
safetie
,
nor
reward
;
Indeed
they
were
like
Beastes
,
that
haue
st●ength
,
but
not
power
.
Oh
for
some
excellent
pen-man
to
deplore
their
state
:
but

which

the

The

happely
to

been

Childe

It
were

rare
witt
:
for
my selfe
I
am
neither

no

yet
happely

I

as
many

,
and
right
borne
Heires
gaine
by

:
but
Hic
labor
,
Hoc
opus
est
.
I
am
with
the
late
English
quick-spirited
,
cleare-sighted
Ouid
:
It
is
to
be
feared
Dreaming
,
and
thinke
I
see
many
strange
and
cruell
actions
,
but
say
my selfe
nothing
all
this
while
:
Bee
it
so
that
I
am
very
drowsie
,
(
the
heate
of
the
Clymate
,
and
of
the
State
)
will
excuse
mee
;
for
great
happinesse
to
this
mightie
Empire
is
it
,
or
would
it
haue
been
,
if
the
more
part
of
their
State
aff●yres
had
been
but
Dreames
,
as
they
prooue
phantasmaes
for
our
yeares
.
But
imagine
(
as
trueth
is
in
the
imagination
)
the
new
receiued
Emperour
hath
written
twise
or
thrise
to
the
Ould
and
new
Emperours
,
(
if
so
be
I
may
●ow
call
them
)
and
their
priuie
Counsell
,
(
which
Letters
you
must
know
are
intercepted
by
the
Godonoues
,
and
their
Secreataries
)
wherein
he
demaunds
his
Right
and
Inheritance
;
and
prooues
himselfe
Heire
very
directly
,
with
their
resolution
herein
;
and
that
he
was
therevnto
not
onely
vnanswered
,
but
his
Messengers
retayned
,
tortured
;
and
some
executed
:
wherevpon
(
much
troubled
)
he
con●ulted
with
his
Nobles
,
and
many
great
Associates
new
come
vnto
him
,
and
yet
resolueth
once
more
to
send
vnto
their
supposed
Emperour
,
and
many
the
great
Boyeryres
priuie
Counsellors
perticulerly
:
for
so
he
did
,
and
writ
his
Princely
Letters
to
them
,
sending
them
by
men
of
courage
,
birth
,
and
wisedome
;
also
giuing
them
authoritie
thereafter
,
who
beeing
dispatched
,
are
come
into
their
Slobada
or
Suburbes
,
where
the
multitude
of
the
Commons
(
retyred
long
before
within
the
first
Gate
)
came
flocking
vnto
them
without
Authoritie
,
demaunding
what
they
were
:
(
For
you
must
vnderstande
this
was
as
a
Cittie
besiedged
within
it selfe
,
and
at
warres
within
her
owne
walles
:
her
Engine
(
if
so
he
could
bee
that
is
now
their
Emperour
)
beeing
200.
verse
from
them
:
also
,
they
required
what
their
Message
was
:
(
Ignoraunce
now
not
beeing
the
Mother
of
Deuotion
,
but
the
Father
of
Peace
)
and
to
whom
they
were
sent
,
and
(
out
of
order
)
from
whom
?
It
was
aunswered
,
that
they
were
sent
from
their
right
&
lawfull
Emperour
D.
E.
Vandh
.
&c.
to
the
Vsurpers
Sonne
,
and
many
of
the
Priuie
Counsell
;
and
that
if
in
obedience
to
their
lawfull
Prince
,
they
would
guarde
them
into
the
Cittie
,
and
safe
conduct
them
to
a
cheefe
Street
therein
,
they
would
not
onely
satisfie
them
in
reading
those
letters
so
neerely
conscerning
them
all
,
but
they
should
be
then
most
happie
,
when
they
vnderstood
how
vildly
and
slauishly
that
had
been
vsed
by
the
Godonoues
;
and
how
by
the
Almighties
power
,
their
right
K.
was
lyuing
,
and
required
their
obedience
herein
:
and
hee
that
late
gouerned
them
,
to
be
an
Vsurper
,
and
his
Sonne
but
as
heire
thereunto
.
Thus
the
Commons
,
who
euer
are
desirous
of
change
and
nouelties
;
and
knew
full
illy
,
well
they
could
not
haue
a
more
Tyrant
:
also
,
seeing
them
to
be
resolute
and
confident
(
as
any
wise
man
,
considering
their
beeing
)
must
confesse
,
&
also
knowne
men
of
great
birth
;
and
also
of
the
late
Boris
his
Enemies
:
indeed
thereunto
ledd
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
they
were
strengthed
with
his
all-sufficient
power
,
(
if
I
might
so
speake
)
they
in
infinite
numbers
,
brought
them
safe
into
the
spacious
Plaine
before
the
Castle
gate
:
within
which
,
as
dayly
they
did
vse
,
so
now
were
all
the
Counsellers
in
consultation
;
but
happily
not
in
a
secret
Counsayle
;
also
wherein
was
the
Emperiall
Court
.
There
these
Boyeryns
made
demaunde
for
many
of
the
Counsellers
,
especially
for
the
Godonoues
,
to
come
to
heare
their
right
K.
D.
E.
speaking
vnto
them
by
Letters
▪
Who
yet
after
refusall
(
and
I
cannot
condemne
all
)
many
came
;
the
Commons
being
resolued
,
else
to
fetch
them
out
;
all
alleadging
,
their
guiltines
to
be
so
great
,
and
to
bee
so
ashamed
as
they
were
astonished
,
with
the
long
deluding
and
mocking
the
common
and
their
new
tryall
of
all
their
treasons
.
But
one
,
by
the
mouth
of
the
golden
tonged
Chaunsellor
or
Secretarie
(
hee
thereunto
commaunded
by
the
P.
and
Nobilitie
then
in
counsell
)
indeed
the
onely
Orator
and
Populer
man
among
them
,
was
required
the
reason
of
that
strange
assemblie
,
tending
to
little
lesse
(
indeed
too
much
more
)
then
a
Mutinie
:
also
the
Boyeryns
countenauncing
them
herein
;
alledging
they
needed
not
so
to
assemble
themselues
vndutifully
and
disobediently
,
that
by
petition
might
haue
any
request
aunswered
,
as
hauing
so
mercifull
,
milde
,
and
humble-harted
a
Prince
;
As
when
the
time
mourning
for
his
deare
Father
was
performed
,
(
which
is
6.
weekes
)
and
his
Coronation
,
with
his
former
Princes
magnificense
and
state
obs●rued
,
they
all
should
conf●sse
him
to
bee
,
till
●hen
th●ir
Cou●trie
L●wes
did
not
a●mit
of
publicke
or
priuate
suites
in
●xtra●rdinary
persons
or
particulers
,
&c.
but
in
such
Language
this
was
deliuered
,
as
hee
might
well
supply
t●e
Tongues
office
:
But
the
affection
of
the
heart
powred
not
out
this
Oration
.
Then
,
by
the
Boyeryers
aloude
was
read
the
Emperours
Letters
,
to
this
effect
.
That
hee
much
woondred
at
that
time
,
wherein
expedition
was
to
be
accounted
safest
pollicie
,
hauing
s●nt
many
Letters
&
Messengers
to
them
,
concerning
their
approouing
him
to
be
their
lawfull
Prince
,
as
beeing
the
Sonne
of
Euan
Vasulrach
their
late
Emperour
,
and
the
onely
brother
of
Pheodor
Euanchers
selfe-vpholder
,
of
happie
memorie
,
both
with
inuincible
argumentes
and
direct
reasons
to
the
manifesting
thereof
,
they
(
notwithstanding
his
long
patience
and
gratious
remisness●
)
were
not
onely
so
proude
as
not
to
answere
his
Princely
Letters
,
but
so
presumptuous
as
to
retaine
his
Messengers
,
whereby
they
made
themselues
apparantly
to
be
no
lesse
Vipers
to
the
State
in
obscuring
him
,
then
Traytors
to
himselfe
the
true
and
right
Emperour
,
by
defrauding
them
:
yet
giuing
him
a
strong
Argument
by
their
Silence
,
of
their
guiltinesse
;
also
allowing
thereby
,
time
and
opportunitie
(
if
he
had
not
been
their
true-borne
Emperour
,
and
with
the
naturall
Mother
,
tendered
the
life
of
her
deare
Children
)
to
haue
conquered
&
destroyed
the
whole
Nation
;
a●ding
thereunto
,
the
loue
of
the
many
and
dayly
falling
to
his
side
of
the
Mightie
;
whilst
they
like
either
vnworthy
,
or
vnwise
Counsellers
(
blinded
with
Honour
and
partialities
)
securely
slept
in
their
particuler
strength
,
ignorant
of
this
Principle
,
That
where
the
Members
are
disioynted
and
broke
,
the
Head
and
Heart
suffer
of
necessitie
.
All
which
notwithstanding
,
hee
(
beeing
confident
in
his
owne
conscience
,
of
his
iust
Tytle
,
made
the
Prince
of
patience
and
humilitie
from
his
former
many
great
myseries
and
dangers
)
had
in
his
princely
wisedome
and
clemencie
againe
wrote
these
(
but
certainely
his
last
Peace-requiring
,
and
Grace-offering
Letters
:
yea
,
was
content
to
desire
them
hee
might
,
)
and
doubted
not
shortly
but
hee
should
commaund
,
onely
ayming
at
the
good
of
the
Common-wealth
and
State
in
generall
;
as
he
that
without
much
shedding
of
his
Subiectes
blood
,
desired
the
Kingdome
.
Also
to
this
end
hee
had
sent
●en
of
great
birth
,

and
Rues
Demetre

Euanrich
Suskey
;
and
giuen
them
Commission
to
displace
his
Enemies
,
and
prestaue
the
Godonoues
,
&
others
,
till
his
further
pleasure
were
knowne
,
consuming
those
monstrous
blood-suckers
and
Traytors
,
with
returne
of
the
Commons
answere
therevnto
:
Likewise
to
demaunde
his
Messengers
,
and
they
to
be
brought
before
the
Commons
,
whom
he
had
reason
to
beleeue
,
were
ill
intreated
,
if
not
murthered
;
withall
,
that
if
they
did
submit
themselues
now
to
him
,
as
to
their
lawfull
Prince
and
Soueraigne
,
(
which
he
was
truely
resolued
their
Consciences
were
guiltie
of
)
that
yet
they
should
finde
him
a
gratious
and
mercifull
Lord
;
if
otherwise
,
a
seu●ere
and
iust
Reuenger
of
them
,
and
their
many
misdeeds
towardes
him
,
as
hee
that
had
his
Sword
euer
vnsheathed
to
execute
his
vengeance
on
them
all
:
and
was
easely
perswaded
they
were
not
ignorant
of
the
many
Victories
hee
had
obtayned
,
formerly
against
them
,
when
they
would
seeme
able
and
willing
to
fight
with
his
Souldiers
:
and
how
afflicted
and
troubled
herewith
they
all
were
:
But
that
now
,
hee
had
their
chiefe
&
strongest
heades
and
armes
in
his
owne
hande
,
the
whole
world
might
not
betroth
him
they
durst
once
speake
openly
against
him
,
as
assured
all
(
excepting
a
very
few
,
and
they
of
the
worst
)
in
heart
,
were
his
loyall
Subiectes
.
Of
all
these
premises
,
hee
wished
them
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
seriously
and
considerately
to
aduise
and
reinforme
their
iudgements
,
for
that
hee
was
foorthwith
determined
,
and
that
peremptorily
of
a
course
,
as
greatly
to
their
terrifiyng
and
horrour
,
as
verily
not
agreeable
to
his
nature
and
Princely
disposition
:
and
how
vehemently
and
earnestly
hee
desired
of
God
,
to
regaine
his
Inheritaunce
,
and
to
be
Inthroned
in
his
Fathers
and
Mothers
Empire
without
blood
;
hee
onely
was
the
witnesse
to
his
Conscience
,
should
bee
the
Iudge
of
his
Innocencie
,
if
it
did
so
come
to
passe
withall
,
that
hee
had
humbly
beseeched
of
the
Almightie
,
that
as
he
had
miraculously
and
wonderfully
preserued
him
from
many
dangers
,
sorrowes
,
and
myseries
,
to
this
happie
time
;
so
that
it
would
please
him
to
graunt
him
wisedome
,
patience
,
and
mercifuln●sse
,
to
si●t
in
his
Fathers
and
Mothers
Throne
without
shedding
of
innocent
blood
,
if
possible
to
the
shedding
of
one
drop
.
&c.
But
before
this
Princely
Letter
was
halfe
read
,
the
hearts
and
hands
of
the
multitu●e
were
strangly
combinde
together
,
not
one
speaking
,
but
all
confusedly
like
letterde
and
chayned
Horses
stamping
;
being
indeed
without
any
feare
,
but
of
not
doing
mischiefe
enough
,
all
(
as
one
)
running
violently
into
the
Castle
(
where
meeting
two
of
the
pitifully
tormented
Messengers
)
they
paused
to
heare
them
as
sufficiently
as
their
insufficiencie
would
permit
them
delyuer
the
vil●e
manner
of
their
torturing
whipping
&
rosting
,
which
was
in
deed
a
Whippe
and
Spurre
to
driue
them
without
witte
or
humanitie
,
as
if
they
had
been
fyred
like
Gunpowder
with
the
very
spa●kes
of
heate
:
Such
barbarous
crueltie
,
beastly
actions
,
and
inhumane
spectacles
,
as
without
the
great
Diuell
had
been
there
generall
,
no
particuler
could
haue
enacted
;
laying
violent
handes
on
all
they
met
:
but
not
killing
(
the
great
mercie
of
God!
)
any
man
of
account
.
Thus
the
whole
Cittie
was
in
an
vproare
,
all
the
Couns●ll●rs
Houses
Sellers
,
and
Studies
,
ransacked
,
begi●ning
with
the
Godonoues
;
spoyling
,
r●nting
,
and
s●ealing
all
they
met
with
;
but
carrying
little
away
but
drinke
,
that
they
could
not
carrie
away
;
for
beginning
to
stagger
in
the
Sellers
,
they
left
their
Wittes
in
the
Butteries
,
and
layde
downe
th●ir
eyes
in
the
Kitchens
;
so
as
the
●ext
day
,
by
reason
of
th●
many
were
madd
and
dead
druncke
,
this
day
well-nigh
●oo
▪
persons
ran
into
forgetfulnesse
,
beeing
past
life
by
their
former
lesse
of
vnderstanding
.
The
Commons
(
no
doubt
)
would
haue
made
this
day
little
infe●iour
to
the
Mass●cre
of
Paris
,
so
violent
&
diuelish
were
their
sudden
resolutions
;
but
that
the
Nobles
(
b●st
beloued
and
obeyed
)
intreat●d
,
where
none
could
commaund
:
others
perswading
;
all
wishing
an
ende
to
this
most
myserable
and
neuer
exampled
mischiefe
.
But
the
multitu●e
did
what
they
would
and
could
;
especially
on
the
greatest
,
which
certainely
were
the
worst
:
So
as
the
Empresse
flying
to
a
safer
Lodging
,
had
her
Col●er
of
Pearle
pluckt
from
her
necke
,
&
yet
a
happie
creature
that
she
so
escaped
;
which
she
not
easily
did
:
but
the
young
P.
in●eed
ha●
no
greater
punishment
or
disgrace
(
too
much
for
a
P.
to
beare
)
profered
him
,
than
to
be
pittied
by
such
Slaues
,
that
had
not
the
sence
of
E●uie
of
the
Nobles
:
many
lost
Peards
and
Havre
,
as
if
the
French
Disease
had
possest
them
;
surely
t
was
no
inferiour
Euill
that
did
worke
this
.
Few
mens
houses
,
as
the
Stranger
Doctors
,
or
Marchants
with
their
owne
,
escaped
ransacking
:
yea
,
such
was
their
miserable
pouerty
,
they
stript
many
to
their
very
skinne
,
that
a
man
might
haue
seene
an
Armie
of
Adams
covering
,
(
and
in
their
transgressing
Gardens
)
their
Nakednesse
,
with
Leaues
,
as
ashamed
not
onely
for
their
poore
beeing
,
but
their
inhumane
suffering
;
Parents
intreating
,
Children
we●ping
,
Wiues
raging
,
the
Richer
punished
,
whilst
the
pittifull
poore
ouerruled
:
And
though
the
Nobles
kept
many
places
,
and
made
strong
the
chiefest
,
they
could
not
resist
the
multitude
there
,
thought
such
a
drunken
kind
their
onely
heauen
,
lyuing
many
yeares
without
the
vse
and
effect
thereof
:
But
weeried
&
woried
with
their
owne
long
deuotion
in
God
Bacchus
Temples
,
many
slept
,
the
more
sufferd
,
whilst
the
most
least
repented
their
bringing
this
stra●ge
Iudgement
to
a
happie
vnhappie
conclusion
.
Then
the
Prince
,
Emperour
,
and
Princ●sse
,
were
prestaued
(
a
second
Commaund
beeing
come
from
the
Campe
)
with
the
Godonoues
,
and
many
others
that
were
suspected
most
:
The
Nobles
ioyning
in
one
Counsell
for
the
present
ordering
of
these
suddaine
accidents
,
and
for
answere
to
the
P.
Dem.
Euanich
,
who
suddenly
was
by
generall
consent
concluded
(
by
the
perticular
knowledge
of
Bodan
Belskey
a
great
Counseller
,
that
was
pri●ie
to
his
departure
,
and
some
others
)
to
be
their
right
and
lawfull
Emperour
,
only
a
few
excepted
,
that
could
be
true
subiectes
to
none
,
because
vnfaythfull
to
themselues
,
such
were
imprisoned
forthwith
.
Thus
began
the
greatnes
of
Demetre
;
and
his
right
became
apparant
:
but
as
it
happens
for
the
more
part
in
such
vnvsuall
and
rare
accidents
(
as
the
deposing
of
Princes
and
States-men
)
Tragicall
eue●tes
fail
one
in
the
necke
of
another
so
n●cessarily
here
▪
for
now
whilst
the
good
were
in
consulting
for
the
well
ordering
of
this
yet
perplexed
state
,
the
euill
were
plotting
more
mischeefe
by
new
stratagems
and
pollicies
:
for
the
verie
soule
of
Enuie
was
crased
in
this
body
,
that
the
twins
of
Tirannie
and
Crueltie
,
stroue
for
prioritie
of
byrth
.
And
not
more
ingenious
&
industrious
were
some
in
deuising
for
the
raysing
of
the
old
Emperour
and
his
posteritie
in
times
past
,
than
(
to
be
accounted
constant
)
now
the
same
villanous
States-men
were
laborious
and
wickedly
wilfull
to
ouerthrow
them
:
hauing
no
reason
but
a
selfe-norishing
pittie
,
to
be
accompanied
to
the
place
of
of
Repentance
and
Punishment
.
So
as
the
young
Prince
was
by
many
(
but
particulerly
by
his
mother
Iezabell
)
counselled
to
leaue
the
Kingdome
vtterly
,
before
it
forsooke
him
;
to
follow
his
Fathers
good
example
in
murdering
himselfe
,
and
herein
his
Mother
(
that
Mapp
of
Miseries
,
that
Cradle
of
Crueltie
)
and
his
on●ly
deare
Sister
,
would
associate
him
.
Letters
were
deuised
,
and
Messengers
framed
to
effect
this
desperate
Treacherie
on
his
innocent
life
;
so
as
in
very
few
dayes
(
for
Mischiefe
hath
the
winges
of
Thought
and
Resolution
,
they
three
did
consent
(
an
vnhappie
coniunction
)
to
destroy
themselues
;
and
rather
to
laye
violent
handes
vpon
their
hate-full
liues
,
then
make
an
Enemie
seeme
cruell
in
executing
Iustice
on
them
:
which
yet
certainely
this
Emperour
neuer
dreamt
of
,
but
determined
the
Prince
should
be
within
himselfe
,
not
lesse
then
Absolute
,
and
in
a
very
great
Dukedome
:
Yet
behold
,
nor
Hope
,
nor
Pittie
,
nor
Greatnes
once
comforted
them
;
but
as
if
selfe-Crueltie
had
been
equiti●
of
Conscience
,
the
Mother
omitting
the
tender
affection
of
her
Children
,
the
Sonne
neglecting
the
naturall
loue
to
his
Mother
,
the
Sister
condemning
her selfe
in
eyther
:
Man
forgetting
(
besides
the
4.
cardenall
vertues
)
his
principall
vertue
,
Patience
:
Women
despising
Modestie
and
Bashfulnesse
,
would
giue
the
wanton
world
a
president
to
runne
Death
out
of
countenance
without
selfe-blushing
:
They
would
(
Oh
vnspeakable
myserie
that
they
did
)
poyson
themselues
.
The
Princely
mother
began
the
health
of
Death
to
her
noble
Sonne
,
who
pledgd
her
with
a
hartie
draught
,
therein
so
much
strength
did
he
add
to
his
vild
wicked
obedience
,
that
he
prooued
a
Banquerour
presently
:
Yes
hand
in
hand
(
as
hart
in
hart
)
imbracing
each
other
,
they
fell
,
and
dyed
as
one
,
the
Mother
counselling
and
acting
,
whilst
the
child
bethought
and
suffered
:
Yet
see
Prouidence
and
Commisseration
,
Constancie
and
Obedienc●
;
the
Princesse
dranke
,
but
like
a
Virgin
temperatly
:
so
as
(
the
want
of
modesty
(
which
was
the
death
of
the
Moth●r
)
now
proued
the
life
of
the
daughter
.
Presently
after
this
Tragedie
came
into
the
Chamber
,
many
great
men
where
they
were
saluted
with
a
dol●fall
welcome
,
the
Emperour
that
might
haue
been
,
and
his
Mother
(
that
was
)
imbracing
each
other
euen
in
the
kinde
armes
of
death
,
●ast
all
hope
:
but
the
young
,
Princesse
only
groueling
,
and
assured
of
breath
therein
,
to
bee
a
motherlesse
and
brotherlesse
Virgin
,
from
whom
was
learnd
●he
maner
of
their
behauiour
;
which
is
sayd
to
be
very
resolute
in
the
Empresse
,
pittifull
in
the
Emperour
,
lamentable
in
both
.
Certainely
a
wicked
Tree
was
it
to
beare
such
faire
but
vntimely
Fruite
.
Vpon
the
ground
was
a
seald
Letter
from
the
dead
Emperour
to
the
living
(
some
report
it
was
sent
before
his
poysoning
,
not
answered
before
he
poysoned
,
it
being
forthwith
;
but
it
matters
little
the
time
or
circumstance
,
onely
the
trueth
is
necessarie
)
:
and
to
this
purport
it
was
written
by
his
owne
industrious
handes
.
Though
the
vaine
world
may
innocently
condemne
vs
of
pusilla●ymitie
,
that
beeing
the
true
Sonne
and
Heire
to
so
great
and
mightie
an
Emperour
(
as
our
late
Father
of
happie
&
sweete
remembrance
Boris
Pheodorich
,
of
all
Rushia
Emperour
and
selfe-vpholder
was
)
,
hee
being
there
vnto
elected
by
so
generall
a
consent
,
and
the
like
importunitie
and
besech
of
the
Byshops
,
Counsellours
,
Nobles
,
and
Commons
of
their
Empire
,
vndertaking
the
gouernment
thereof
meerely
of
pittie
,
without
the
least
motion
of
pride
or
popularitie
,
onely
to
sati●fie
them
all
in
generall
,
rather
then
in
any
p●rticular
to
please
himselfe
,
but
in
happying
and
blessing
them
withall
his
Princely
and
contionerie
conditions
thereafter
:
that
wee
his
onely
Sonne
so
beloued
of
the
mightie
and
many
,
so
reuerensed
of
the
good
and
religious
,
will
f●r
many
princely
arguments
approued

by
our selfe
and
our
grauer
Counsell
(
notwithstanding
a
double
oath
of

most
to
our
Emperiall
dignitie
,
lawfull
succession
and
inheritance
)
in
person
come
into
the
field
with
an
inuincible
Armie
to
make
good
our
cause
against
thee
:
yet
doth
it
not
befit
such
a
mightie
Prince
as
thou
eyther
art
,
or
wouldest
bee
thought
,
so
cruelly
and
vniustly
to
determine
of
our selfe
,
our
royall
Moth●r
,
and
no
lesse
deare
and
princely
Sister
;
of
which
wee
are
informed
,
thou
thy selfe
of

art
resolued
.
Thou
shouldest
wisely
and
thankefully
haue
remembred
thy
ow●e
hard
fortunes
,
and
as
myraculous
a
prese●uing
,
with
our
inn●censie
and
youth
:
and
that
wee
b●th
were
or
have
thought
our selues
(
if
so
to
bee
wee
are
yet
worthy
)
great
Princes
Sonnes
,
and
Christians
:
yea
,
and
more
happynes
and
glory
would
it
haue
been
to
thee
,
sitting
on
thy
deare
Fathers
Throne
to
rule
his
p●ople
with
equitie
and
iustice
,
then
to
haue
b●en
accounted
his
Sonne
in
tyrranie
a●d
blood
.
Litle
cause
shall
this
Nation
haue
to
hope
of
a
mercifull
and
iust
Prince
,
that
begins
thus
to
terrifie
and
condemne
the
Innocent
.
What
●
it
were
graunted
?
Wee
haue
no
right
;
yet
our
Father
was
el●cted
?
Doe
wee
resist
thee
?
Dost
thou
not
(
or
will
not
blood-thirstie
greatn●ss
let
thee
)
vnderstand
what
an
Innocent
in
yeeres
and
Counsell
wee
then
were
,
and
yet
haue
been
?
What
if
wee
were
perswaded
thou
art
the
right
,
yet
there
are
many
,
many
,
that
neuer
will
bee

and
the
greater
are
their
arguments
,
as
thy
cruelties
a●d
pollicies
.
But
that
thou

wee

notwithstanding

behold
for

our

Enimy
we
sacrifize
our selfe

behold
how
Innocencie

Youth
,
like
the
Twins

are

:
Yet

neither

to
Vertue
,
yet
like
a
King
in
Pittie
:
and
assure
thy selfe
,
wee
die
not
for

of
thee
,
but
for
loue
to
our selfe
:
not
desparing
of
thy
mercy
,
but
for

preuenting

May

If

Thus

Lo
thus

.
These
Funerall
speeches
being
afterward
deliuered
to
the
Emperour
,
h●e
fell
into
teares
vppon
reading
them
,
mixing
much
gracious
language
of
the
young
Prince
,
amongst
his
bemoninges
of
his
fortunes
:
And
hearing
some
speake
vnreuerently
of
his
Father
,
hee
checkt
them
in
these
wordes
.
It
ill
beseemeth
any
,
much
lesse
his
Subiectes
,
and
those
who
had
elected
him
,
to
wound
his
Honour
(
now
hee
lyes
dead
)
whom
lyuing
they
kneeled
to
,
as
their
lawfull
Emperour
,
if
not
as
right
Heire
,
but
as
approued
by
the
generall
voyces
of
the
States
.
Then
he
gaue
commaundement
,
that
all
those
who
had
the
keeping
of
the
yong
Prince
,
should
be
imprisoned
till
his
further
pleasure
were
knowne
;
and
that
the
Mother
and
Sonne
,
should
bee
basely
and
obscurely
huried
:
which
accordingly
was
done
.
The
old
Emperour
Borris
his
body
being
likewise
taken
from
the
royall
Monument
where
it
first
was
layde
,
to
bee
buryed
with
theirs
in
a
meane
Church
within
the
Mosco
.
Before
we
carry
you
any
further
,
it
shall
not
bee
amisse
to
place
before
your
eye
the
picture
of
the
young
Prince
:
who
was
in
countenaunce
effeminate
,
in
tongue
faire
and
quicke
:
his
speach
(
like
his
body
)
high
and
great
:
charitable
to
the
poore
(
which
his
Father
was
not
)
bountifull
to
the
mightie
;
an
indifferent
rewarder
both
of
the
Vertuous
and
Valorous
.
The
lyuing
thus
hauing
made
the
dead
serue
as
Stayres
to
lift
him
vp
into
a
Throane
,
each
one
held
●t
safest
insudome
to
flye
(
with
the
formost
)
into
●he
Campe
,
there
to
make
their
peace
:
by
which
meanes
they
flocked
in
troopes
;
beeing
dryuen
therevnto
eyther
through
feare
of
present
dangers
,
or
of
tempestes
to
come
.
But
their
rightfull
Emperour
(
casting
behinde
him
all
thoughts
of
precedent
actions
)
onely
●pplyed
himselfe
to
the
present
receiuing
those
that
came
vnto
him
,
with
princely
,
and
kind
embracementes
,
esteeming
himselfe
then
to
be
an
absolute
Prince
;
when
hee
could
so
subdue
his
owne
affections
,
as
to
forgiue
his
Enemies
;
yea
those
that
were
accounted
Arch-traytors
and
Bloody-tyrantes
.
Besides
,
hee
held
it
a
good
part
of
wisedome
,
not
to
detaine
any
by
force
(
as
his
predecessors
did
)
within
the
Countrey
,
not
suffering
any
to
enter
;
but
rather
made
it
knowne
,
that
all
his
Dominions
should
be
free
for
euery
Subiect
to
goe
foorth
,
and
euery
Stranger
to
come
in
:
by
which
meanes
(
besides
the
honour
of
beeing
styled
the
First
Emperour
that
made
the
State
Free
)
he
should
(
through
commerce
with
other
nations
)
inrich
his
owne
,
and
propagate
the
fame
and
greatnesse
of
his
name
and
Empire
.
Thus
suddenly
he
became
of
a
Poore
and
il-attended
Prince
,
a
mightie
Emperour
:
his
Commaund
reaching
and
swaying
almost
as
much
as
a
third
part
part
of
Europe
comes
to
;
colleaguing
himselfe
to
many
potent
Princes
,
especially
the
mightie
Polacke
,
(
heretofore
the
most
mortall
Enemie
to
the
Russie
)
and
euen
from
his
Campe
(
now
his
royall
Court
)
hee
wrote
his
Princely
Letters
to
all
Citties
,
Townes
,
and
Villages
,
appoynting
Noblemen
to
take
their
Oathes
to
his
Maiestie
:
which
in
all
places
was
willingly
performed
.
In
the
number
of
all
which
Letters
,
taking
knowledge
of
an
English
Ambassadors
residence
in
the
Country
(
tho
2000.
myles
from
his
Campe
)
and
calling
to
minde
the
peace
and
amity
held
betweene
the
Princes
of
England
and
his
predecessors
,
he
wrote
vnto
the
English
Agent
;
who
was
departed
from
the
Mosco
towards
the
Sea
side
:
but
by
good
fortune
(
vpon
some
speciall
occasion
)
returned
backe
againe

receiued

The
Agent
(
vpon
receipt
of
these
Letters
)
with
M.
Russell
(
sometimes
Agent
for
the
Dutch
,
and
his
now
Brother
in
law
)
prepared
to
meete
the
Emperour
before
he
should
come
to
the
Mosco
;
before
whom
being
brought
by
the
Chancelor
,
the
Agent
(
in
name
of
his
Brethren
)
deliuered
vnto
him
a
worthy
Present
;
which
he
graciously
accepted
,
and
withall
,
vttering
thus
much
in
effect
.
That
whereas
it
had
pleased
God
so
miraculously
to
preserue
him
,
and
so
gloriously
to
establish
him
in
the
Throne
of
his
Auncestors
:
It
would
please
him
,
to
looke
vppon
the
English
Merchauntes
,
with
the
same
eyes
as
they
haue
done
:
In
doing
which
,
hee
should
not
onely
merite
their
loues
,
but
no
Nation
would
be
more
thankefull
vnto
him
.
&c.
The
Emperour
returned
many
gratious
words
,
much
to
the
effect
of
his
former
Letters
,
but
more
amply
;
and
then
inuited
them
to
dinner
in
his
royall
Tent
(
beeing
set
vp
of
purpose
to
entertaine
a
King
of
the
Tartares
,
that
was
his
Subiect
.
So
after
a
bounteous
Feast
,
many
noble
speeches
,
and
a
Princely
welcome
,
they
were
dismissed
for
that
time
:
but
within
few
dayes
after
,
the
Agent
delyuered
(
in
the
name
of
the
Ambassadour
)
somuch
as
he
had
Commission
and
instructions
for
,
of
him
:
which
Message
was
most
acceptable
,
and
receiued
with
protestations
of
desired
Peace
and
Amitie
with
the
King
of
England
;
for
which
purpose
,
hee
had
alreadie
appoynted
one
of
his
Courtiers
speedily
to
poast
vnto
the
English
Ambassadour
.
Vpon
our
departure
from
Colmogra
,
to
the
Ark-Angell
,
the
Agent
came
to
the
Ambassadour
from
the
Emperour
,
with
order
for
his
free
Post-horse
and
Men
to
conducte
him
;
and
that
no
Custome
should
be
demaunded
of
any
Englishman
,
appertayning
to
the
Ambassadour
.
And
that
the
Courtier
(
who
was
to
be
sent
)
should
follow
him
very
speedily
:
for
the
English
Shippes
had
been
at
the
Castle
fourteene
dayes
before
:
wherevpon
,
the
Ambassadour
rowed
downe
the
Riuer
,
and
the
next
day
following
,
came
to
the
Ark-Angell
;
where
wee
were
met
with
many
Shipmaisters
and
Muskets
to
the
number
of
an
hundred
:
The
Shippes
(
aswell
English
as
Dutch
)
discharged
their
Peeces
lyberally
:
But
this
Triumph
was
altered
in
a
moment
into
Sadnesse
.
For
vppon
our
landing
,
a
fayre
new
Shippe
(
called
the
Globe
)
the
Maister
,
Maister
and
his
Father
,
beeing
owners
of
her
,
was
vtterly
lost
in
our
sight
,
by
meanes
of
a
Mynion
bursting
in
the
Gun-roome
;
where
foure
Barrels
of
Powder
standing
by
,
one
of
them
beeing
not
well
couered
,
the
rest
tooke
fire
,
blew
vp
all
the
Sterne
,
slew
the
Gunner
and
his
Mate
;
hurt
the
Maister
,
his
Mate
,
and
some
sixe
others
,
whilst
the
Shippe
splitting
in
sunder
,
suncke
presently
;
to
the
exceeding
sorrow
of
all
the
beholders
.
Hither
(
within
few
dayes
after
)
came
from
the
Emperor
a
Courtier
,
named
Gauarello
Samollorich
Sallmanoue
,
that
had
been
Ambassadour
to
the
K.
of
Denmarke
:
(
a
Gentleman
of
great
birth
,
and
well
in
yeares
)
to
signifie
to
the
Ambassadour
the
Emperours
desire
to
enter
into
Bondes
of
peace
and
amitie
with
the
King
of
England
:
And
this
was
an
extraordinarie
grace
of
the
Emperour
done
to
the
Ambassadour
,
if
wee
consider
the
Person
that
was
sent
,
the
Message
,
and
the
Myles
hee
so
poasted
ouer
,
for
feare
the
Ambassadour
should
bee
gone
.
T●e
Message
which
he
brought
was
much
to
the
purp●s●
of
tha●
Conference
held
with
the
Emperour
and
the
Ag●nt
;
the
che●fest
branch
of
all
,
bei●g
a
re●ouation
o●●h●●
League
now
betweene
●ot●
the
Ki●g●●mes
of
Englan●
and
Rushia
,
which
was
b●twee●●
the
late
Q
Elizabeth
(
his
deare
and
ki●d
Sister
)
and
his
Father
:
and
with
a
protestation
to
be
in
greater
amitie
&
correspondence
with
th●
King
of
England
,
then
euer
any
of
his
predecessors
had
b●en
with
other
Kinges
thereof
;
for
better
manifestation
of
which
,
all
the
sayd
K.
Iames
his
Subi●cts
shall
haue
surer
libertie
then
euer
they
had
before
.
Adding
further
,
that
his
personall
Coronation
being
performed
,
Ambassadours
should
be
sent
to
salute
and
congratulate
his
louing
Brother
of
England
.
&c.
The
Ambassadour
herevpon
,
not
onely
sent
thos●
Letters
which
he
had
receiued
from
the
late
Emperour
Borris
,
but
also
(
by
twentie
Liueries
)
a
Present
worth
100.
Markes
:
And
within
one
weeke
aft●r
this
Courtiers
departure
,
we
hastned
our
owne
,
because
the
season
of
the
yeere
so
require●
.
The
day
before
our
departure
,
by
reason
of
some
wrong
done
to
an
English
Saylor
by
a
Russe
,
a
great
tumult
arose
:
in
which
the
Common
people
(
with
stones
and
billets
)
behaued
themselues
so
furiously
,
that
the
English-house
gates
were
broken
open
,
their
chambers
in
perill
to
be
rifled
,
their
windowes
throwne
downe
,
and
their
ware-houses
violently
entred
vpon
,
yea
some
aged
Merchantes
very
euilly
intreated
:
Insomuch
that
the
Ambassadour
himselfe
stood
not
free
from
the
daunger
:
to
reuenge
which
,
both
English
and
Dutch
manned
out
their
boates
,
to
haue
gone
on
shore
with
some
shot
,
but
by
intreatie
they
were
staide
,
and
all
was
pacified
,
not
without
some
hurt
on
both
sides
,
but
most
of
the
Russes
.
The
next
day
(
being
the
sixth
of
Iuly
)
the
Ambassadour
beeing
accompanied
with
mayster
Iohn
Mericke
,
diuers
Merchantes
and
others
,
passed
(
in
his
Cherdeck
)
the
Riuer
of
Dvyna
,
the
shipps
then
lying
at
the
Barr-foote
for
a
Winde
,
which
not
hauing
,
we
went
on
boord
vpon
the
twenty
eight
of
Iulye
,
beeing
compelled
notwithstanding
to
staye
heere
seauen
daies
,
both
for
winde
and
Water
to
carry
vs
away
,
which
the
Countrey
(
hauing
hadde
our
companye
of
many
monthes
togither
)
seemed
to
deny
vs
,
as
vnwilling
to
license
our
departure
.
Yet
on
the
8.
day
following
,
we
went
ouer
the
Bar
,
not
without
some
daunger
of
the
Sands
,
which
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
and
the
care
and
cuning
of
maister
William
Wye
,
(
our
pilot
and

we
happilie
escaped
,
and
very
ioyfully
arriued
vppon
the
sweet
shores
of
our
owne
natiue
Countrey
England
,
&c.
The
state
of
Rushia
when
Borris
Pheodorwich
came
to
be
Emperour
.
OVr
Voyage
is
ended
,
yet
must
I
now
intreate
your
immaginations
to
be
carried
backe
againe
into
Rushia
,
where
you
shall
receiue
so
much
and
such
perfect
Newes
,
as
will
make
vp
the
precedent
matter
into
a
pleasing
History
.
Vnderstand
therefore
,
that
the
old
Emperor
Euan
Vassiliwich
,
dying
,
left
two
Sonnes
behind
him
,
(
Viz
)
Pheodor
Euannowich
the
eldest
,
(
who
succeeded
the
father
in
his
Empire
)
and
Demetrie
the
yongest
(
an
infant
.
)
Pheador
being
giuen
to
deuotion
,
and
neglecting
the
State
and
dignity
due
to
a
Prince
,
was
held
but
simple
,
insomuch
that
by
the
secret
workings
of
Bodan
Belskey
,
(
who
was
chiefe
Minion
to
the
olde
Emperour
Euan
Vassiliwich
)
in
hope
of
honours
and
preferment
,
procured
Boris
(
who
was
brother
to
the
then
Empresse
)
to
be
created
Protector
ouer
Pheador
,
who
vpon
his
present●
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
sent
his
mother
in
Law
,
with
her
father
and
mother
(
defending
of
the
house
of
the
Nagayes
)
and
his
yong
brother
Demetre
,
to
a
place
called
Ouglets
,
where
he
was
to
bee
Nursed
.
Pheadors
raigne
beeing
expired
,
and
his
brother
vnfit
to
rule
(
being
but
an
infant
)
Boris
set
vp
such
ladders
,
that
from
a
protector
he
was
aduanct
to
be
Emper.
Bodan
Belskey
afore
named
,
Andrea
Shulcan
,
and
Andrea
Clyskenine
,
being
his
there
instruments
that
wrought
for
him
.
But
Boris
growing
weary
of
their
presence
,
by
whom
he
was
mounted
so
hie
,
and
thinking
that
he
must
euer
holde
himselfe
bound
vnto
them
,
laid
plots
in
his
braines
howe
to
be
rid
of
such
creditors
,
which
he
did
,
by
throwing
discontents
vpon
one
of
them
and
a
slightly-regarding
of
the
other
.
Whereupon
Bodan
Belskey
left
the
Courte
.
But
the
other
two
prying
into
Borris
his
actions
,
signified
from
time
to
time
,
all
matters
to
Bodan
,
who
(
knowing
the
ambitious
thirst
of
Borris
to
extirpate
the
race
of
Euan
Vassiliwich
himselfe
now
but
an
Vsurper
)
took
deliberation
with
the
old
Empresse
(
mother
to
Demetre
)
for
the
preseruation
of
the
child
.
And
seeing
a
farre
off
,
arrowes
aimed
at
his
life
,
which
could
very
hardly
be
kept
off
,
it
was
deuised
to
exchange
Demetre
for
the
child
of
a
churchman
(
in
yeares
and
proportion
somewhat
resembling
him
)
whilst
the
other
(
by
this
meanes
)
might
liue
safe
,
though
obsure
.
This
counterfet
Churchmans
sonne
being
then
taken
for
the
lawful
Prince
,
was
attended
on
and
associated
according
to
his
State
:
with
whome
one
day
,
another
child
,
(
that
was
appointed
to
bee
his
play-fellow
)
disporting
themselues
,
finding
faulte
that
the
collor
which
the
supposed
Demetre
wore
about
his
necke
(
as
the
fashion
of
the
Countrey
is
)
stoode
awry
,
preparing
to
mende
it
,
with
a
sharpe
knif
(
prouided
as
seems
of
purpose
)
cut
his
throat
.
The
report
of
this
arriued
presently
at
court
:
the
Vsurper
makes
shew
of
much
lamentation
,
yet
to
satisfiy
the
people
&
seat
himself
faster
in
his
throne
,
the
dead
body
was
openly
showne
three
daies
,
to
the
eyes
of
all
men
.
Many
arguments
were
drawne
to
make
the
world
beleeue
,
that
Boris
sonne
sought
the
death
,
of
this
his
brother
in
lawes
childe
,
and
to
weane
the
peoples
loues
and
hopes
they
had
from
him
,
as
first
to
haue
it
spred
abrod
,
that
Demetre
was
like
to
proue
like
his
father
,
that
s
to
say
,
a
Tyrant
because
,
euen
in
his
childhood
,
he
tooke
delighte
to
see
Hennes
and
Chickens
kilde
,
and
to
bath
his
hands
in
the
blood
:
adde
vnto
this
,
the
poisoning
of
his
Nurse
:
besides
,
it
was
forbidden
to
haue
him
praied
for
,
as
the
rest
of
the
Emperors
children
wer
because
hee
should
be
vtterly
forgotten
.
To
conclude
an
old
ouer-worne
law
buried
long
in
forgetfulnes
was
now
againe
freshly
reuiued
,
and
that
was
,
That
the
child
of
a
sixt
wife
was
not
to
inherit
.
(
yet
the
murder
beeing
acted
)
Boris
the
vsurper
,
to
blind
the
eies
of
the
world
,
and
to
weare
a
cunning
maske
ouer
his
owne
,
Sent
a
noble
man
with
diuers
others
to
take
strict
examination
of
each
particular
circumstance
,
and
to
imprison
all
those
that
had
the
guardiaunce
of
him
,
yea
to
put
some
of
them
to
tortures
and
to
death
,
which
was
done
accordingly
.
But
heauen
protected
the
lawfull
,
to
be
an
instrument
for
the
Vsurpers
confusion
.
Obscurely
liude
this
wronged
Prince
,
the
changing
of
him
being
made
priuate
to
none
but
his
owne
mother
(
Sister
as
is
said
before
to
Boris
)
who
is
now
liuing
,
and
to
Bodan
Belskey
:
but
vpon
what
wheele
his
various
fortunes
haue
bin
turned
,
(
which
of
necessitye
must
needs
be
strange
)
came
not
within
the
rech
of
our
knowledge
being
there
.
Onely
thus
much
was
receiued
as
currant
,
that
the
king
of
Poland
sent
word
to
the
Vsurper
,
that
such
a
Prince
of
Rushia
was
abiding
in
his
court
,
describing
him
by
name
and
other
perticular
notes
to
be
sonne
to
their
olde
Emperour
:
vppon
receipte
of
which
Newes
(
which
went
but
coldly
to
the
heart
of
Borris
)
an
Ambassadour
was
presently
dispatcht
into
Poland
,
one
that
had
been
Godfather
vnto
Demetre
,
because
he
should
bring
certaine
knowledge
of
the
truth
:
whoe
at
his
comming
was
presented
with
a
Counterfait
(
Princely
attyred
)
but
afterward
with
true
Demetrius
,
whom
(
by
the
ayde
of
the
Polack
)
the
Rushians
within
short
time
after
receiued
for
their
Emperour
,
and
now
raigneth
ouer
them
.
