THE
FIRST
PART
,
Wherein
is
treated
of
the
head
,
of
the
Members
,
and
of
the
Forces
of
the
Ottoman
EMPIRE
.
IN
the
Ottoman
Empire
,
a
Mahamet
,
euen
as
it
was
with
armes
conquered
by
Mahamet
the
second
.
§.
I.
THe
now
liuing
Mahamet
,
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
,
Mahamet
,
Dwarfe
Nasuf-Agà
,
for
the
many
fauours
which
he
continually
receiued
at
the
hands
of
the
Emperour
Amurath
,
endeauoured
so
diligently
to
pry
into
his
actions
,
as
hauing
obserued
,
that
euerie
day
he
sent
out
of
the
Serraglio
,
a
basket
of
flowers
,
hee
imagined
with
himselfe
,
that
vnder
those
flowers
,
hee
conueied
forth
some
things
of
greater
moment
.
And
thereupon
,
one
morning
hauing
staied
the
Carier
by
force
,
and
powred
the
flowers
out
vpon
the
ground
,
he
found
the
basket
full
of
Gold
,
and
with
exceeding
indignation
,
accused
him
to
his
Father
,
telling
him
,
that
he
was
lesse
fauored
then
his
slaues
:
For
(
quoth
he
)
they
abound
in
that
which
is
denied
vnto
me
.
And
this
he
spake
,
because
hee
found
his
Father
to
be
verie
couetous
.
Moreouer
,
Persian
Sophi
,
and
for
the
State
of
Venice
,
Giacomo
Soranzo
my
vnkle
,
who
in
that
businesse
,
had
the
chiefe
place
aboue
the
Christian
Princes
.
)
presently
he
was
sent
by
his
Father
into
Magnesia
,
there
to
abide
and
keepe
his
residence
.
But
when
he
did
there
euerie
day
more
and
more
discouer
his
fiercenesse
and
crueltie
;
Sinan
Bassa
,
(
he
that
surprised
Giauarino
,
and
died
the
last
yeare
:
)
entred
into
a
cogitation
with
himselfe
not
onely
to
haue
him
better
guarded
,
but
also
to
depriue
him
of
his
life
,
if
he
did
not
change
his
course
.
Whereof
being
oftentimes
aduertised
by
the
Ladie
Sultane
,
his
mother
,
and
also
aduised
by
her
to
plucke
this
suspition
out
of
his
fathers
head
by
addicting
himselfe
to
pleasure
,
hee
was
obedient
vnto
her
therein
.
And
afterwardes
he
was
so
farre
giuen
ouer
thereunto
,
as
either
altering
or
dissembling
his
proper
nature
,
hee
is
by
this
accident
,
and
of
his
owne
accord
growne
to
bee
a
most
sensual
Prince
:
and
whether
it
be
by
habite
and
custome
,
or
by
enchaunting
besotment
,
as
some
think
,
(
wherein
the
Greeke
,
Hebrew
,
and
Turkish
Ladies
are
most
cunning
and
skilfull
,
)
hee
cannot
now
liue
,
no
not
when
he
is
in
armes
amongst
his
Souldiers
,
without
those
pleasures
,
not
without
communicating
the
most
important
secrets
of
his
state
with
his
Fauourites
and
Miniones
:
Then
which
there
is
nothing
more
dangerous
and
pernitious
to
Princes
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
cannot
agree
in
opinion
with
those
who
doe
attribute
the
cause
of
this
late
going
forth
into
the
warres
in
his
owne
person
,
to
this
his
sensualitie
:
for
there
are
diuerse
other
truer
reasons
,
that
may
be
alleadged
of
that
his
lingering
.
§
II.
FOr
Mahamet
being
now
become
a
new
Prince
,
Emir
Hamze
,
who
was
eldest
sonne
to
Mahamet
Codabanda
:
which
was
thought
to
haue
happened
not
without
some
suspicion
of
poysoning
.
Besides
that
his
principall
Captaines
promised
,
that
they
would
follow
the
warres
without
his
presence
:
(
for
they
thought
,
that
so
they
might
the
more
easily
enrich
themselues
.
)
He
gaue
exceeding
credite
to
the
important
counsel
and
aduise
of
Sinan
,
who
had
vowed
the
vtter
ruine
and
destruction
,
not
onely
of
the
Prince
of
Transiluania
,
but
also
of
the
Emperor
without
any
great
difficultie
:
(
and
all
this
,
because
by
continuing
still
in
that
supreme
degree
of
gouernment
which
he
then
enioyed
,
hee
might
make
his
person
the
greater
.
)
Moreouer
,
most
true
it
is
,
that
Mahamet
loueth
peace
:
for
that
fiercenesse
and
crueltie
which
is
naturall
in
him
,
and
yet
mollified
by
pleasure
and
ease
,
as
Iron
is
by
fire
,
True
also
it
is
,
that
it
was
most
conuenient
for
him
to
applie
himselfe
to
the
necessitie
of
the
time
,
A
course
that
of
all
other
doth
soonest
abate
loue
,
and
ingender
contempt
.
And
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
his
father
Amurath
had
taken
order
that
the
Visiers
might
bee
remooued
vpon
euerie
light
occasion
,
and
had
also
brought
vp
a
new
custome
to
create
many
for
money
,
and
increased
the
number
of
them
from
foure
to
nine
.
Lastly
,
hee
was
enforced
thereunto
by
the
often
chaunge
and
alteration
,
which
he
vsed
to
make
of
his
Heades
and
Captaines
,
either
vpon
some
wrong
information
,
that
he
had
of
the
state
,
and
of
their
natures
,
or
else
because
it
is
a
naturall
propertie
belonging
to
the
Turks
to
chaunge
their
honours
,
and
also
their
purposes
,
according
to
the
euents
of
fabulous
Fortune
.
For
hauing
receiued
diuerse
and
sundrie
discomfitures
,
he
was
of
opinion
(
and
indeed
he
doth
alwayes
put
it
in
practise
)
that
with
the
alteration
of
the
head
,
hee
shoulde
make
the
members
more
couragious
and
hardie
.
But
against
all
these
reasons
aboue
rehearsed
,
Cyrus
,
That
all
those
which
followed
him
in
seruice
being
his
brethren
,
it
was
fit
he
should
make
as
good
account
of
them
as
of
himselfe
.
Another
action
of
his
there
was
,
which
did
greatly
reconcile
their
loues
vnto
him
,
viz.
that
being
in
his
iourney
,
one
Euening
hee
mounted
vp
to
the
top
of
his
Pauilion
,
and
espied
two
Tentes
of
Spahogl●ni
,
disunited
from
the
rest
of
the
Campe
,
to
murther
and
rob
such
as
scatteringly
went
abroade
from
their
lodginges
:
whereof
being
certainly
assured
,
hee
gaue
them
for
a
pray
to
the
Gianizzaries
,
and
afterwards
caused
their
bodies
to
be
fixed
vpon
stakes
in
the
Campe
.
Nowe
to
referre
other
matters
to
a
more
fitte
place
:
Sultan
Alem
that
is
to
say
,
The
Lorde
of
the
worlde
,
or
(
as
others
interprete
it
)
The
Emperour
of
all
,
and
King
of
Kinges
:
and
therefore
they
call
him
also
,
Vlu
Padi-Schach
,
that
is
to
say
-
The
supreme
or
Soueraigne
Emperour
:
and
to
be
short
you
haue
here
heard
of
the
Chiefe
head
of
the
present
Ottoman
Empire
:
For
as
touching
his
Children
,
although
they
doe
also
somewhat
appertaine
to
the
Head
of
this
Empire
,
yet
I
doe
not
intend
at
this
time
to
enlarge
this
discourse
about
them
.
§
III.
ONely
thus
much
I
will
say
,
La
Flatra
a
Gentlewoman
of
Ciprus
)
he
is
to
leaue
behind
him
vnto
his
successor
,
many
other
children
,
for
matter
of
the
vsuall
and
wonted
Tragidies
of
the
Ottomans
.
But
now
I
come
to
the
members
,
and
first
to
the
Principals
.
§.
IIII.
MAny
men
hold
an
opinion
,
Malta
:
Mustafa
,
he
that
supprised
Cyprus
,
Pertaf
,
Ali
,
and
Vlucchiali
,
who
were
ouerthrowne
in
the
Sea
by
the
League
of
the
Christian
Princes
,
in
the
yeare
1571
:
afterwards
Osman
,
Ferat
,
and
Sinan
,
who
performed
memorable
exploites
in
Persia
,
and
else
where
:
and
hereupon
they
do
thinke
that
together
with
these
,
there
are
wanting
some
valourous
persons
among
the
Turkes
.
A
suspition
verily
,
not
altogether
varying
from
the
truth
.
For
most
certaine
it
is
,
that
the
long
and
troublesome
warre
in
Persia
hath
depriued
this
Empire
of
many
warriours
,
that
were
of
credit
and
valour
:
howbeit
the
power
and
mightinesse
of
this
state
being
at
the
first
instituted
,
and
sithence
encreased
by
Armes
,
But
I
will
put
downe
the
names
of
the
principals
,
which
gouerne
at
this
present
:
to
the
ende
,
that
if
perhappes
they
should
die
,
or
be
depriued
of
their
charges
and
places
,
yet
in
regarde
of
that
,
where
of
they
shall
giue
mee
occasion
to
speake
,
the
memorie
and
mention
of
them
will
serue
mee
to
good
purpose
in
this
present
discourse
.
§
V
BEfore
that
Mahamet
the
Emperour
departed
from
Constantinople
,
Hassan
Bassa
,
the
Eunuch
,
by
Countrey
an
Albanian
,
of
a
towne
of
the
Cicalessi
,
in
the
territorie
of
Elbasana
.
This
man
was
Bassa
of
Cairo
,
in
Egypt
in
the
yeare
1582.
at
what
time
beeing
recalled
to
the
Court
,
§
VI.
THe
chiefe
Generall
in
the
Campe
before
the
battaile
at
Agria
,
§.
VII
.
TO
Hibraim
,
there
succeeded
Sinan
Cicala
,
for
that
in
the
last
fight
with
the
Christians
,
as
the
one
shewed
himselfe
verie
vnfit
for
so
principall
a
gouernment
,
(
as
women
are
wont
to
do
,
which
either
loue
or
hate
extreamly
)
ceased
not
daily
to
entreate
her
sonne
,
that
he
would
cause
him
to
be
put
to
death
,
because
shee
could
not
endure
that
a
slaue
should
be
so
bould
,
as
to
goe
about
to
bring
her
into
disgrace
.
This
did
Cicala
feare
,
and
great
reason
he
had
so
to
do
,
not
onely
in
regard
of
the
vnstayednesse
and
inconstancie
of
the
Prince
,
and
the
great
affection
which
he
bare
to
women
,
but
also
because
he
knewe
,
that
Hibraim
being
now
returned
to
Constantinople
at
the
instant
suite
of
the
Sultane
Ladies
,
and
especially
of
his
wife
,
(
for
the
chiefe
Visier
,
being
once
displaced
,
cannot
returne
againe
vnlesse
he
recouer
his
former
degree
,
)
he
would
continually
persecute
him
,
and
foster
the
quarrels
that
were
lately
picked
against
him
,
by
the
adherents
and
followers
of
Ferat
,
who
was
an
arrant
enemie
to
Sinan
,
with
whome
Cicala
had
combined
himselfe
,
euen
to
his
death
.
Notwithstanding
Cicala
being
verie
rich
,
of
a
good
wit
and
great
valour
,
and
especially
verie
skilfull
in
Land
warfare
,
as
one
that
was
trayned
and
brought
vp
in
the
wars
of
Persia
:
it
is
to
bee
thought
that
if
hee
can
escape
these
first
violences
of
his
Lorde
,
he
will
with
such
dexteritie
manage
the
matter
as
he
will
recouer
that
which
is
lost
.
For
so
did
hee
,
after
his
depriuation
from
the
Generalshippe
of
the
Sea
which
was
taken
from
him
,
not
so
much
in
regard
of
the
suspition
conceiued
for
his
brothers
going
to
Constantinople
,
as
to
giue
satisfaction
to
the
State
of
Venice
,
whome
the
Turke
himselfe
was
verie
willing
to
content
.
The
malice
,
that
Cicala
bare
to
that
common
wealth
,
beganne
and
was
grounded
vpon
a
discourtesie
,
Rustem
Bassa
,
and
of
a
daughter
of
Sultan
Soliman
,
shee
that
not
long
agoe
,
with
incredible
expences
made
a
verie
long
conuayance
of
water
in
the
desertes
of
Arabia
,
for
the
benefite
and
ease
of
the
Pilgrimes

There
is
a

which
writeth
,
that
Ariadino
Barbarossa
,
the
famous
Pirate
,
was
allured
by
Soliman
into

with
verie
honourable
rewards
,
And
now
after
this
discourse
of
the
Captaines
,
I
will
speake
of
the
common
souldiours
,
and
such
members
as
are
not
so
principall
.
§
XVII
.
THe
great
Turke
hath
two
sorts
of
souldiours
:
that
is
to
say
,
The
best
horsemen
,
Licinius
Augustus
the
Emperour
,
gaue
vnto
him
a
Castle
in
Heraclea
for
a
Timaro
,
long
before
he
was
wickedly
martyred
by
his
owne
band
of
souldiours
,
as
it
is
written
in
Phile
the
Greeke
Poet
,
Damascene
,
and
Nicephorus
Calixtus
,
and
as
it
is
read
in
the
Menaco
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
the
Monthly
Register
of
the
Greeks
.
The
said
word
Timaro
may
also
be
deriued
,
The
Vlefe
is
a
payment
,
The
Timari
,
which
the
Turke
hath
in
Europe
,
may
bee
some
sixteene
thousande
?
Euerie
Spahi
,
that
hath
from
three
to
fiue
thousand
Aspres
,
of
yearely
rent
,
is
bound
to
go
to
the
war
with
one
horse
:
from
fiue
to
ten
thousand
,
with
two
horses
,
and
so
by
proportion
to
a
certaine
determinate
quantitie
:
and
some
there
bee
that
will
carrie
moe
or
fewer
,
according
to
their
abilitie
,
and
the
desire
which
the●
haue
of
honour
.
The
greatest
part
of
these
Spahi
are
subiect
to
the
Beglerbey
,
and
may
contayne
some
nine
thousande
Timari
:
the
rest
are
vnder
the
Bassaes
of
Bassina
,
of
Buda
,
and
of
Temesuar
.
§
XVIII
.
BEsides
these
Spahi
,
Among
the
Spahoglani
,
are
accounted
those
also
which
are
of
the
great
Turkes
Court
:
who
are
distinguished
into
foure
orders
,
viz.
the
Selectari
,
Vlefezgi
,
Guraba
,
and
Spahoglani
.
But
because
the
number
of
the
Spahoglani
is
the
greatest
of
al
the
rest
,
they
are
all
generally
and
indifferently
called
Spahoglani
.
The
Selectari
and
the
Spahoglani
,
Guraba
and
Vlefezgi
,
make
vp
sixe
in
all
.
Poore
and
naked
soules
.
And
Vlefezgi
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
Hyred
,
or
waged
,
as
we
haue
tolde
you
before
.
Euerie
one
of
these
orders
hath
his
Aga
,
which
commaundeth
two
or
three
thousand
horse
.

But
because
I
haue
made
often
mention
of
this
worde
Beglerbey
,
I
thinke
it
will
not
be
amisse
to
tell
you
what
it
signifieth
.
The
Turkish
word
Beglerbey
,
signifieth
a
Captaine
of
Captaines
,
Melicul
Vmerca
be
with
the
Arabians
,
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
with
the
Greekes
.
Three
Beglerbeyes
there
be
,
that
are
in
authoritie
aboue
the
rest
,
and
sit
in
equall
place
with
the
Bassaes
,
whome
the
Turkcs
call
Visiers
,
when
they
sit
together
in
the
open
Diuano
,
The
first
of
them
is
the
Rumeli
Beglerbeg
,
The
Anatoli
Beglerbeg
is
the
second
,
The
Denizi
Beglerbeg
is
he
that
is
the
Beglerbey
of
the
Sea
,
otherwise
called
,
the
Captaine
Bassa
.
Hee
resideth
for
the
most
part
in
Constantinople
,
which
the
Turkes
by
a
corrupt
word
call
Stamboli
:
and
hath
the
chiefe
charge
of
the
Arsenall
,
or
Store-house
for
shipping
.
Before
that
Soliman
made
him
a
Beglerbey
,
he
was
called
the
Sangiacch
of
Gallipoli
.
He
hath
for
his
maintenance
,
the
Reuenues
of
the
office
of
the
Subassi
of
Galata
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Treasourer
of
Pera
,
which
office
is
let
to
ferme
,
for
the
yearly
rent
of
about
some
sixteene
thousand
crownes
:
he
hath
also
the
reuenues
of
the
nine
Islands
that
lie
in
the
Arcipelago
,
the
chiefe
whereof
is
Nixia
.
And
now
,
seeing
we
haue
tould
you
of
the
horsemen
,
let
vs
tell
you
likewise
of
the
souldiours
that
serue
on
foote
.
§.
XXII
.
THese
are
for
the
most
parte
Giannizzaries
,
which
are
drawne
out
of
the
Masse
or
company
of
the
Agiamoglani
,
The
Grecians
call
Aspro
(
and
not
Aspero
,
Siderocapsia
▪
of
Siderocapsa
,
a
Castle
in
the
Prouince
of
Thasso
,
which
is
neere
to
the
famous
mountaine
Athos
in
Europe
,
called
by
the
Greekee
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Mons
Aegaeus
,
the
Goat-hill
,
either
because
it
reacheth
into
the
Aegaean
,
sea
,
or
because
it
is
full
of
Goates
and
Kids
:
or
rather
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
the
Holy
hill
,
commonly
called
by
the
Turkes
,
Seitbag
,
because
there
are
on
it
three
and
twentie
Monasteries
of
Calogieri
,
or
Monkes
,
that
loue
to
liue
in
the
Wildernesse
.
One
Aspro
is
worth
24.
Some
writers
there
be
,
The
Giannizzaries
then
(
as
it
hath
beene
sayd
)
are
the
best
souldiors
on
foot
,
De
mundo
,
among
the
works
of
Aristotle
.
And
thereupon
it
pleased
some
peraduenture
to
think
,
that
the
Giannezzaries
were
so
called
of
Ianua
:
i.
a
Doore
,
Porta
▪
that
is
to
say
the
Court
of
the
great
Turke
,
because
his
Court
of
Audience
is
ordinarily
kept
in
the
gate
of
his
Palace
.
But
in
truth
,
they
are
greatly
deceyued
therein
:
for
a
Gate
in
the
Turkish
language
is
called
Capi
,
and
so
is
not
Ianua
.
i.
a
Dore
:
and
therefore
the
chiefe
Porter
is
called
by
the
Turkes
Capisi
Bassi.
The
word
Giannizzaro
is
compounded
of
two
Turkish
wordes
,
Noua
Militia
,
a
new
Souldierie
:
New
,
not
because
it
was
newly
brought
in
,
(
for
it
was
instituted
euen
by
Osmanne
Gasi
,
otherwise
called
Ottoman
,
and
renued
,
or
rather
bettered
and
enlarged
by
Amurath
the
first
,
vpon
the
aduice
and
counsell
of
Cara
Rustem
,
who
was
then
helde
by
the
Turks
to
be
a
verie
holy
man
:
)
But
new
or
fresh
they
are
called
,
because
the
Giannizzaries
are
the
sonnes
of
Christians
,
taken
from
their
fathers
whiles
they
are
but
children
,
by
the
Officers
of
the
great
Turke
,
as
it
were
for
a
tribute
,
euerie
fift
or
seuen
yeare
,
and
sometimes
oftener
:
beeing
of
the
age
some
peraduenture
of
eight
,
some
of
ten
,
some
of
twentie
yeares
,
and
some
aboue
.
And
afterwardes
they
are
for
the
most
part
destributed
among
the
Turkes
in
Natolia
,
to
the
end
they
may
be
instructed
betimes
in
the
lawes
of
Mahamet
,
learne
the
fashions
and
language
of
that
Nation
,
and
accustome
themselues
to
labour
and
hardnesse
,
and
then
are
they
called
Agiamoglani
,
as
it
hath
beene
told
you
before
.
When
they
are
growne
fit
for
the
warres
,
then
they
are
sent
to
the
Court
,
to
be
admitted
into
the
order
of
the
Giannizzaries
.
Those
that
are
not
found
fit
for
the
warres
,
are
sent
to
the
Shippes
,
and
to
the
Gallies
,
that
they
may
be
employed
in
the
Arte
of
Sea-faring
.
But
they
that
are
of
a
pregnant
wit
and
good
Spirit
,
are
at
the
verie
first
shut
vp
in
one
of
the
Serraglioes
of
Andrinople
,
or
of
Constantinople
,
or
of
Pera
,
and
so
by
means
they
come
to
be
employed
in
the
seruice
of
the
great
Turke
about
his
Chamber
,
vnder
the
rule
and
subiection
of
certaine
particular
gouernours
.
The
Giannizzaries
haue
for
their
stipend
betwene
fiue
and
sixe
Aspres
a
day
,
Arabike
Ser-Asker
:
)
and
partly
because
in
our
times
their
order
is
indeed
imbasterdized
,
and
nothing
so
valourous
and
faithfull
,
as
it
hath
beene
heretofore
.
Aga
,
is
the
name
of
the
Giannizzaries
Captaine
,
Moreouer
the
Giannizzaries
are
verie
insolent
,
Mahamet
Bassa
the
Armenian
,
(
a
man
whome
hee
loued
beyond
all
measure
,
)
accusing
them
,
that
through
their
fault
,
they
were
not
payed
their
wages
by
them
with
good
monies
.
These
Dephterdari
or
treasourers
are
three
,
It
hath
fallen
out
also
,
that
they
are
thus
become
the
more
sedicious
and
insolent
,
because
the
number
of
them
is
greatly
encreased
and
multiplied
,
and
that
through
the
default
of
the
officers
that
are
sent
to
make
the
choice
of
the
youthes
:
for
they
doe
not
choose
the
best
and
the
most
able
for
warfare
(
as
it
was
wont
to
be
vsed
in
times
past
,
)
but
such
as
they
may
haue
for
want
of
better
men
,
shuffeling
in
oftentimes
,
by
fauour
and
bribes
,
many
natural
borne
Turkes
,
and
sonnes
of
the
Giannizzaries
themselues
:
as
indeede
it
came
to
passe
in
these
last
yeares
,
wherin
they
haue
had
no
consideration
of
any
other
thing
but
onely
of
the
disposition
of
bodie
,
and
ripenesse
of
yeares
,
to
the
end
they
might
the
sooner
shew
themselues
in
the
warres
,
and
so
passe
for
old
and
experienced
souldiours
,
though
in
truth
vtterly
voide
of
any
militarie
discipline
.

places

are

they
are

to
the

of

§.
XXIIII
.
IN
Africa
the
Turkes
haue
either
no
horsemen
at
all
,
And
these
are
the
Souldiours
aswell
horsemen
as
footmen
,
whom
the
Great
Turke
may
vse
in
his
warres
as
souldiours
of
his
owne
.
Touching
whom
I
am
to
aduertise
you
,
somewhat
of
mine
opinion
.
§.
XXV
.
FIrst
,
Secondly
that
the
horsemen
,
in
whome
principally
consisteth
the
power
of
that
Empire
,
are
not
at
this
day
so
lustie
,
resolute
,
and
painfull
,
and
to
be
shorte
nothing
at
all
such
as
they
were
wont
to
be
,
for
that
they
haue
been
greatly
wasted
and
consumed
in
the
warres
of
Persia
,
and
particularly
in
this
war
of
Hungarie
,
where
barley
was
so
scant
,
and
all
other
kinde
of
victualles
,
for
men
,
horses
,
cammels
and
other
cattell
verie
deere
.
Thirdly
,
that
the
Spahi
,
who
are
the
best
horsemen
that
the
great
Turke
hath
,
haue
not
had
any
meanes
to
buy
good
horses
,
not
only
by
reason
of
the
dearth
of
all
things
,
(
which
I
tell
you
was
verie
great
)
but
also
because
all
their
good
horses
are
spent
and
consumed
,
neither
haue
the
Spahi
any
commoditie
or
benefit
to
maintaine
them
withall
,
or
to
buy
them
any
new
,
but
only
that
which
they
defaulke
out
of
their
Timari
.
Moreouer
,
they
beeing
become
men
now
a
dayes
greatly
giuen
to
ease
and
to
gaines
,
do
not
sticke
to
take
money
to
interest
,
rather
to
the
end
they
may
buy
some
Timari
withall
then
buy
any
horse-flesh
with
it
,
yea
and
to
lend
it
out
at
vsurie
to
others
that
afterwardes
become
banckrouts
.
And
although
peraduenture
it
may
seeme
to
some
,
that
in
these
last
yeares
,
the
horses
were
many
:
the
cause
thereof
was
this
,
that
the
Turkes
are
now
become
so
tender
and
effeminate
,
(
especially
since
the
Delicacies
of
the
Persians
haue
wrought
euen
the
very
selfe
same
effect
in
them
,
which
riot
and
excesse
wrought
among
the
Grecians
and
the
Romanes
)
that
euery
man
(
for
sooth
)
will
carie
with
him
to
the
wars
,
so
many
easments
of
bedding
,
kitchen
&
victual
,
that
they
are
enforced
to
vse
many
horses
for
those
purposes
:
neither
is
there
any
horsemen
;
(
be
he
neuer
so
arrant
a
clown
or
peasant
)
but
he
carieth
more
than
one
with
him
:
&
yet
all
of
them
(
God
wot
)
stark
nought
,
very
leane
,
&
altogether
vnseruiceable
,
as
we
haue
tould
you
,
&
as
the
experience
of
the
battail
of
Agria
hath
manifestly
proued
.
But
forasmuch
,
as
touching
the
diminution
of
the
Ottoman
armies
,
diuers
men
do
diuersly
reason
,
it
will
not
be
perhaps
far
from
the
purpose
,
or
at
least
not
inconuenient
,
if
I
tel
you
also
what
I
thinke
of
it
.
§.
XXVI
.
WIthout
all
question
the
Ottoman
Empire
doth
want
of
that
number
of
souldiours
which
it
was
wont
to
haue
in
their
armies
.
The
Cadiliskieri
(
or
as
the
Arabians
call
them
)
Casiaskeri
,
And
although
there
be
some
,
Paulus
Aemilius
in
one
onely
day
destroyed
threescore
and
ten
Cities
in
Epirus
:
and
many
Ilandes
there
be
,
which
are
vtterly
waste
,
and
not
habitable
for
barrennesse
.
Besides
that
,
the
Ciuill
warres
of
the
Romans
,
the
simplicitie
of
the
Greeke
Emperours
,
the
Armadaes
,
and
fleetes
of
the
Saracens
,
and
also
of
the
Latines
,
and
last
of
all
of
the
Turkes
,
togither
with
the
notorious
iniuries
of
rouers
and
Pirates
,
haue
neuer
suffered
those
Ilandes
,
and
the
rest
of
that
most
populous
Countrey
,
so
much
as
to
take
breath
.
True
also
it
is
,
Militia
Christiana
,
Christian
Souldierie
.
And
these
are
in
mine
opinion
,
Now
that
I
haue
tolde
you
of
the
Souldiours
,
which
the
Great
Turke
hath
of
his
owne
,
I
wil
tell
you
of
his
Souldiers
Auxiliarie
.
§
XXVII
.
AMong
all
the
Auxiliarie
Souldiers
,
But
because
there
be
diuerse
sortes
of
the
Tartarians
or
Tartars
,
so
called
peraduenture
,
because
they
are
the
Reliques
(
as
the
worde
in
deede
signifieth
in
the
Syrian
tongue
)
of
those
Isdraelites
,
that
were
transported
beyond
Media
being
then
not
inhabited
:
I
will
treate
but
onely
of
those
that
serue
for
our
purpose
.
And
those
bee
they
,
which
are
subiect
to
a
King
that
keepeth
in
Taurica
.
Whereof
some
doe
dwell
in
Europe
,
and
some
in
Asia

doe
bestowe

yea
,
such
and
so
great
,
as
in
the
time
of
warres
a
Leauie
of
the
Tartarians
is
verie
costly
to
the
great
Turke
,
because
hee
must
of
necessitie
giue
them
so
much
,
as
may
bee
sufficient
not
onely
to
maintayne
themselues
,
but
their

also

so

safer
vnto
them
,
besids
the
bonds
of
alliance

kindnesse
they
are
enforced
to
vse
this
necessarie
exigent
,
whereas
on
the
contrary
side
,
in
the
time
of
Soliman
the
Tartarians
were
enforced
vnder
Sedac
Kirsi
to
gratifie
the
Turke
.
The
Moscouite
and
the
Polack
likewise
do
bestow
great
gratuities
vpon
the
said
Tartarians
,
for
feare
of
their
soden
in-roades
which
they
may
make
vpon
them
in

time
of
haruest
.
The
Moldauian
also
,
although

pay
tribute
to

is
he
bound
in

respects
to
grafie

,
and
not
at

mouth
of

some
haue
written
:
and
it
is
neere
to
the
Sangiacche-ship
of

,
Moldauians
Tegina
,
and
is
a
place
in
the
Prouince
of
Maldauia
,
but
subiect
to
the
Turke
,
through
the
default
of
that
Aaron
the
Vaiuode
,
who
in
this
present
warre
,
thinking
to
reconcile
himselfe
,
for
the
reuolt
which
he
made
from
the
Turkes
,
would
not
surprise
it
,
when
he
might
.
In
the
said
Sangiacke-shippes
,
the
Tartarians
may
take
two
wayes
,
the
one
by
passing
the
Riuers
of
Pruto
and
Sereto
,
and
so
annoying
Walachia
:
the
other
without
passing
the
saide
Riuers
,
and
by
going
ouer
the
Danowe
in
Bulgaria
,
which
is
a
countrey
belonging
to
the
Turke
.
This
last
way
,
though
at
this
time
it
would
be
the
safer
,
yet
for
all
that
it
would
not
be
without
great
difficultie
,
yea
,
and
somuch
the
rather
,
for
that
the
Turkes
themselues
will
not
willingly
yeeld
their
consents
that
the
Tartarians
shall
take
that
way
,
for
feare

they
should
wast
their
countrey

ANd

In

The

considering
that
they
are
verie
easie
to

,
which
out
of

entreth
into

for
that
is
in

vnpassible
with

Now

cannot
be

without
an

with
the
fleete

Besides

serueth
them

LAstly

These

Prouinces

betweene

,
and
the
riuers

haue
great
abundance
of
wood

,
by
reason
that
they
haue
not
felt
the
miseries
of

because
the
Turkish
armies
haue
not
taken
that
way

onely
in

I
will
omit
at

to
entreate
of

more
particularly
ouer

King
of

,
who
with

slew
twentie
thousand

,
who
at

onely
time
ouerthrewe
and
vanquished
three
hundred
,
threescore
and
fifteene
thousand
of
them
:
I
leaue
to
tell
you
what
the
Christians
also
did
,
vnder
Alfonsus
the
Chast
,
Ranimiro
,
Ferdinando
,
and
Waltero
the
great
Master
of
the
Duch
order
,
who
slew
a
hundred
thousand
Tartarians
with
the
death
of
one
onely
of
his
owne
souldiers
:
and
Corui●us
,
who
after
hee
had
obtayned
seauen
victories
against
the
Turkes
,
with
fifteene
thousand
onely
,
Thomas
Bozius
writing
against
Macchiauel
hath
at
large
described
.
Moreouer
,
euerie
man
that
hath
warred
with
the
Turkes
doth
know
well
enough
,
that
they
lodge
at
large
:
and
that
in
their
marching
they
go
verie
confusedly
,
so
that
they
may
verie
easily
be
endamaged
in
the
tayle
of
their
Armie
.
George
Castriota
,
was
one
of
the
most
famous
Captaines
,
that
euer
fought
with
the
Turkes
,
Iskander-Beg
,
i.
the
Lord
Alexander
,
a
name
that
was
giuen
him
by
Sultan
Amurath
,
when
being
his
Hostage
or
Pledge
he
caused
him
to
bee
circumcised
at
seauen
years
of
age
:
(
for
the
Turkes
at
circumcision
change
the
name
,
as
we
vse
to
doe
at
baptisme
.
)
This
man
fighting
thus
with
the
Turks
being
in
this
disarray
,
had
such
victories
of
them
as
were
most
worthie
of
triumph
.
Besides
all
this
the
Turkes
,
when
they
do
fight
,
put
more
confidence
in
their
Multitude
,
in
the
opinion
that
they
haue
of
Destinie
,
in
the
noyse
of
their
warrelike
instruments
,
and
in
the
horrible
cry
of
their
barbarous
shoutings
,
And
although
some
be
of
an
opinion
,
Moreouer
,
they
do
not
want
any
munition
,
Acque
Bianche
.
i.
the
whitewaters
,
(
which
is
a
place
not
farre
distant
from

and
elsewhere
in

do

practise

stratagemes

And
now
that
I
haue
shewed

Land-Forces
of

Ottoman
Empire
,
it
is
also
verie
fit
and
conuenient
,
that
I
should

likewise
shewe

the
forces
thereof

The

also
an

§.
XLIII
.
IT
is
most
certaine
and
true
that
the
Turkes
do
put
their
timber
to
worke
,
They
haue
Pitch
,
both
hard
and
soft
from
Velonae
,
and
from
Rissano
in
the
golfe
of
Cathare
:
the
one
out
of
the
mines
,
the
other
from
the
trees
.
And
tallowe
they
want
not
,
by
reason
of
the
great
aboundance
of
Beefes
and
Muttons
,
that
are
in
those
countres
.
But
they
haue
not
hempe
enough
,
and
so
by
consequence
they
are
not
well
prouided
of
Sayles
:
and
so
much
the
worse
,
because
the
Sultane
Ladies
(
who
haue
thirtie
Galeons
of
a
thousand
&
fiue
hundred
tunne
a
peece
,
and
eighteene
great
Hulkes
,
The
Turks
do
also
want
nayls
,
so
that
very
often
in
steed
therof
,
they
are
fain
to
vse
sharp
woodden
pins
.
Of
Mariners
they
haue
great
store
.
They
entertayne
the
Asappi
principally
to
serue
them
in
Sea
actions
.
They
make
great
aboundance
of
Bisket
,
And
thus
much
let
be
sufficient
to
haue
spoken
of
the
Turkes
forces
by
land
and
by
Sea
.
But
for
as
much
as
according
to
the
opinion
of
some
auncient
Captaines
,
Gold
is
the
Sinewes
of

which

Wherein
is
treated
of
the
purposes
and
Designments
which
the
Ottoman
Princes
haue
towards
other
princes
:
Of
the
cause
of
this
present
warre
in
Hungarie
;
the
beginning
and
proceeding
thereof
:
wherein
for
your
better
vnderstanding
,
the
originall
of
the
said
warre
shall
be
fetched
,
euen
from
Amurath
,
the
father
of
this
now
liuing
Mahomet
.
NOw
that
we
haue
seene
the
nature
and
conditions
of
Mahomet
,
the
heade
and
chiefe
of
this
Ottoman
Empire
,
and
what
are
the
members
,
strength
,
and
forces
of
this
most
monstrous
bodie
,
as
I
may
call
it
:
fit
and
conuenient
it
is
:
that
for
the
full
and
perfect
knowledge
thereof
,
we
should
goe
about
to
search
the
purposes
and
designements
,
which
the
said
Mahomet
hath
against
other
Princes
,
and
specially
against
the
Princes
Christian
:
to
the
end
we
may
the
better
vnderstand
the
true
causes
of
this
present
warre
,
togither
with
the
beginning
and
proceedings
thereof
.
But
forasmuch
as
this
warre
began
,
euen
in
the
time
of
Amurath
,
father
to
the
now
liuing
Emperour
,
it
will
be
necessarie
for
our
better
intelligence
to
speake
somewhat
of
him
,
and
to
fetch
the
true
originall
of
the
said
war
euen
from
thence
:
wherewithall
there
shal
be
also
discouered
vnto
you
more
plainly
,
all
the
greatest
interests
and
dealings
which
hee
hath
with
the
rest
of
the
Princes
in
the
world
.
§
I.
ANd
to
begin
the
same
accordingly
Amurath
,
the
Lord
and
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
father
to
the
now
liuing
Mahomet
,
Iulius
Caesar
:
and
because
he
was
so
studious
in
Philosophie
,
he
was
called
by
the
Turkes
in
mockage
,
Bongi
,
as
Baiazet
the
second
was
also
called
in
the
same
respect
.
Hee
was
no
drinker
of
wine
,
as
his
father
Selem
was
.
In
the
pleasures
of
sensualitie
,
which
are
so
familiar
and
tollerable
among
the
Turks
,
he
was
rather
continent
,
than
otherwise
,
especially
in
that
most
abhominable
sin
of
lecherie
,
and
chiefly
for
many
yeares
before
the
end
of
his
life
.
Moreouer
,
if
a
man
that
is
a
niggard
&
avaricious
,
may
be
called
a
louer
of
iustice
,
he
was
a
great
louer
of
that
iustice
which
is
known
among
the
barbarians
:
very
careful
&
desirous
he
was
likewise
to
vnderstand
al
the
affairs
of
other
princes
,
but
aboue
all
other
things
,
most
exact
&
perfit
in
the
knowlege
of
his
owne
estate
:
insomuch
as
he
had
a
perticular
memoriall
of
all
his
businesse
,
of
all
his
reuenues
ordinarie
and
extraordinarie
,
and
of
all
his
expences
,
which
he
kept
in
a
booke
appointed
by
him
for
that
purpose
,
and
layd
continually
vpon
a
little
table
in
his
owne
priuie
Chamber
,
and
came
(
as
it
were
)
by
inheritance
to
the
now
great
Turke
,
euen
as
that
of
Augustus
came
to
Tiberius
the
Emperour
.
And
it
may
be
peraduenture
,
that
by
reason
of
these
his
too
diligent
occupations
and
businesses
,
or
rather
in
deed
by
his
naturall
inclination
,
he
was
for
the
most
part
verie
full
of
melancholie
:
which
besides
that
it
made
him
somewhat
still
and
sparing
of
speech
,
and
oftentimes
irkesome
and
tedious
to
himselfe
,
it
also
procured
him
to
be
exceedingly
suspitious
of
any
matter
:
Mahomet
Codabenda
king
of
Persia
,
sonne
to
Sha
Tamas
,
who
was
the
sonne
of
Ismael
:
and
with
Abas
,
that
liueth
at
this
day
,
whom
some
doe
falsly
call
the
Miriza
:
Sultan
Soliman
,
and
fled
to
Tamas
to
auoid
the
indignation
of
his
father
,
but
was
put
to
death
by
the
same
Tamas
,
to
the
end
he
might
by
that
meanes
be
reconciled
to
Soliman
.
The
other
cause
was
to
ruinate
and
vtterly
destroy
the
Sepulchre
of
Arduelle
,
father
to
Ismael
,
the
Authour
of
the
Persian
sect
or
religion
:
Ieschilbassi
,
i.
Greene
Cappes
.
Now
by
the
way
:
A
Tulpante
,
and
a
Tocca
is
all
one
,
and
signifieth
that
Globe
or
Sphere
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
was
giuen
into
the
custodie
of
Apples
according
to
the
vulgar
and
common
translation
,
which
place
certaine
Writers
not
without
some
reason
haue
interpreted
to
be
ment
of
the
Turkes
.
And
so
likewise
it
may
be
,
that
not
of
Constantinople
,
but
of
the
Persian
Kingdome
,
the
Red-Apple
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
which
the
Ottoman
Emperour
shall
bring
into
his
subiection
,
before
he
be
vtterly
subdued
by
the
sworde
of
the
Christians
,
as
is
to
be
red
in
the
Turkish
Oracle
or
Prophecie
(
if
so
it
may
be
called
)
and
is
now
a
long
time
knowne
to
euery
man
,

WHiles
Amurath
thus
enioyed
this
peace
,
from
which
as
being
a
man
giuen
to
studie
and
Melancholie
,
he
did
not
of
himselfe
greatly
abhorre
,
he
was
counselled
and
aduised
by
his
Visiers
to
renue
the
warre
.
Now
these
Visiers
are
the
chiefe
counsellers
of
warre
,
The
reasons
wherby
they
moued
&
aduised
him
to
renue
the
warre
,
Besides
these
Visiers
and
Bassaes
,
that
laboured
to
perswade
him
hereunto
,
in
regard
of
their
owne
interest
and
benefite
,
especially
the
two
concurrents
and
opposites
Sinan
and
Ferat
,
who
without
warres
were
held
in
no
great
credite
,
or
account
,
nor
could
enrich
themselues
according
to
the
greedie
desires
of
the
Barbarians
:
their
were
also
the
Agentes
of
Fraunce
,
of
England
,
and
of
the
Prince
of
Geilan
,
which
endeuoured
to
perswade
the
same
,
by
such
reasons
,
as
shall
be
tolde
you
in
due
place
.
§

BVt
Amurath
would
not
resolue
vpon
any
thing
:
§
V.
THeir
opinions
were
eight
in
number
.
The
first
:
§
VI.
THe
reasons
of
their
seueral
opinions
were
these
.
This
Vsbegh-Han
,
is
the
Prince
of
those
Tartarians
,
Moreouer
,
that
he
need
not
to
make
any
doubt
of
victorie
,
considering
the
good
successe
that
he
hath
had
heretofore
.
That
hee
had
no
cause
to
feare
their
Harquebuses
:
for
they
had
but
few
,
and
the
Turkes
can
better
handle
them
then
the
Persians
:
nor
yet
their
horses
,
although
they
were
of
the
Arabian
and
Caramanian
race
,
the
relikes
of
Amurath
the
second
,
for
they
had
many
times
and
often
bin
put
to
flight
for
verie
cowardise
.
And
lastly
,
that
hee
could
not
doubt
,
least
the
Gurgini
(
so
doe
the
Turkes
call
the
Georgiani
,
§
VII
.
TOuching
the
second
opinion
,
Maraschebir
,
Oran
,
the
Pegnon
,
Tanger
,
Arsilla
,
Mazagan
,
and
Ceuta
,
or
Septa
and
therefore
may
combine
themselues
with
the
Moores
to
the
great
domage
of
the
Turkes
:
yet
notwithstanding
they
might
bee
brideled
with
an
Armada
of
shippes
,
and
by
passing
also
if
need
were
,
euen
into
Spaine
.
§
VIII
.
TOuching
the
third
opinion
,
§
IX
.
TOuching
the
fourth
opinion
,
Alfonso
d'
Albuguerque
,
the
Portugall
Viceroy
in
the
Indies
,
thought
once
to
haue
done
,
§
X.
THe
fift
opinion
,
euery
man
easily
beleeuing
that
which
he
desireth
,
they
might
seeme
verie
probable
and
likely
to
the
Turkes
:
)
that
no
enterprise
happily
would
proue
lesse
hard
and
difficult
then
this
,
as
it
might
be
found
by
the
experience
and
examples
of
such
actions
as
had
passed
heretofore
:
especially
seeing
the
Turkes
not
many
yeares
agoe
hauing
warred
with
the
Venetians
,
and
surprised
somewhat
of
theirs
,
had
receiued
many
and
great
satisfactions
at
their
hands
to
make
peace
with
them
.
That
the
said
Common-wealth
&
State
of
Venice
,
accounting
peace
to
be
the
end
wherat
it
shooteth
,
it
should
seeme
that
the
people
is
timerous
and
cowardly
,
and
by
their
ancient
ordinances
and
customes
,
do
neuer
prepare
themselues
to
war
,
but
when
they
are
drawne
vnto
it
by
force
:
that
peraduenture
they
will
thinke
to
be
ouercome
,
before
they
looke
for
it
,
as
it
fell
out
with
them
for
the
kingdome
of
Cyprus
.
That
if
the
said
state
would
make
resistance
by
it selfe
alone
,
perhaps
it
hath
not
forces
sufficient
:
if
ioyned
in
confederacie
with
others
,
But
for
as
much
,
as
it
seemed
,
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
Visiers
did
concurre
in
this
opinion
,
but
yet
varied
among
themselues
,
how
to
attempt
this
enterprise
:
I
will
set
downe
their
differences
in
particularitie
.
Sinan
the
Albanian
,
La
Bastia
,
because
it
was
yeelded
to
the
Corfiottes
but
vpon
that
condition
.
La
Bastia
is
a
wast
and
desert
place
,
being
vnder
a
towne
of
the
Turkes
in
Epirus
,
But
in
verie
deed
Sinan
endeuoured
to
perswade
this
attempt
,
because
the
Fortresse
of
Corfu
was
thought
to
be
vnuanquishable
,
both
by
Nature
and
by
Arte
:
and
hee
being
exceedingly
ambicious
to
atchieue
the
name
and
title
of
a
great
Conquerour
,
was
so
bold
and
hardie
,
especially
vpon
the
exployte
which
he
did
at
Goletta
,
as
to
promise
to
himselfe
a
verie
easie
conquest
of
this
also
:
as
in
truth
hee
did
not
sticke
to
vaunt
that
he
could
performe
it
,
when
he
passed
by
Corfu
,
Ferat
,
who
was
called
Carailam
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Black-Serpent
,
I
haue
somewhat
inlarged
this
Discourse
of
the
particulars
touching
Sinan
and
Ferat
,
because
I
haue
had
occasion
many
times
(
as
I
shall
also
haue
hereafter
)
to
make
mention
of
them
,
as
the
most
principall
men
in
this
Empire
,
and
in
this
warre
.
Sinan
Cicali
,
Other
Bassaes
there
were
,
La
Bastia
.
(
Wherunto
they
were
moued
,
not
because
the
Turkes
were
neuer
heretofore
possessed
of
them
(
although
the
Venetians
had
possessed
the
same
,
long
before
the
Turkes
had
any
possession
in
Albania
)
but
onely
because
there
runneth
a
rumour
among
them
,
that
the
said
fishings
are
rented
at
a
hundred
thousand
duckats
,
where
as
in
deed
there
is
no
more
payed
for
them
,
then
six
thousand
or
thereabouts
.
Some
other
Bassaes
were
of
opinion
,
that
the
Turkish
fleete
should
vpon
a
sodaine
go
forth
with
a
good
wind
,
For
Durazzo
hath
not
any
hauen
able
to
receiue
foure
Gallies
,
Porto
Raguseo
,
where
may
lodge
some
thirtie
Gallyes
,
but
not
verie
safely
on
the
North
,
on
the
Northwest
,
nor
on
the
West
.
Without
the
Gulfe
,
at
least
in
the
coast
of
Albania
,
or
rather
within
the
Gulfe
(
for
the
ancient
Authours
doe
bound
the
Adriaticall
Sea
with
the
mountaines
of
Cimmeria
)
there
is
first
the
Hauen
of
Santi
quaranta
(
i.
the
fortie
Saints
)
where
likewise
they
may
entertaine
some
few
Gallyes
.
And
a
little
on
this
side
of
that
,
is
Neribo
,
sometimes
called
Orico
:
where
the
Romanians
touched
,
when
they
departed
from
Ottranto
,
to
the
end
they
might
afterwards
saile
all
along
that
coast
.
And
this
Hauen
is
able
to
receiue
fortie
Gallies
:
but
it
is
not
verie
safe
.
The
onely
hauens
of
Ragugia
,
which
be
fiue
or
sixe
,
But
the
greatest
part
of
the
Visiers
enclined
most
to
the
attempt
of
the
Isle
of
Candie
,
professe
themselues
to
be
of
the
right
&
true
descent
from
their
Law
giuer
Mahomet
,
and
therefore
they
weare
a
greene
Turbante
:
)
that
is
to
say
,
eyther
by
binding
the
Venitians
,
that
they
shall
not
onely
forbeare
to
giue
entertainment
to
the
saide
Gallyes
within
there
Seas
,
but
also
make
satisfaction
for
all
losses
,
that
the
Turkes
shall
sustaine
,
as
often
as
they
shall
not
safely
guarde
their
said
ships
from
all
such
dangers
.
Or
else
by
causing
the
Venetians
to
suffer
and
permit
a
good
companie
of
Turkish
Gallyes
to
be
resident
at
Candie
for
that
purpose
.
Herevnto
they
added
also
,
that
this
attempt
would
proue
the
better
,
&
come
to
good
successe
,
because
that
kingdome
is
diuided
in
it selfe
,
by
reason
of
the
difference
which
is
betweene
the
Greeke
Religion
,
and
the
Latine
,
and
for
the
great
discontentments
,
which
some
(
but
falsly
and
vainly
peraduentur
)
do
report
,
to
be
growen
betwene
the
noble
men
of
Venice
,
and
the
Noble
men
of
Candie
,
betweene
those
that
are
priuiledged
persons
,
and
those
that
are
tied
to
impositions
and
taxes
,
and
betweene
the
Clownes
and
the
Gentlemen
there
.
And
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
it
is
a
verie
easie
matter
to
set
vpon
it
with
a
Turkish
Armada
,
seeing
it
is
(
as
it
were
)
compassed
about
with
Natolia
,
with
Caramania
,
with
Barbarie
,
with
Alexandria
,
with
Morea
,
and
with
the
Arcipelago
,
which
are
all
Countreys
belonging
to
the
Turkish
Empire
:
so
that
they
may
easily
from
hand
to
hand
ayde
and
succour
those
that
should
first
attempt
to
disturbe
therein
.
Moreouer
,
that
by
the
purchase
and
winning
of
this
most
fruitfull
Island
,
they
should
obtaine
the
absolute
commaund
and
rule
of
the
Sea
,
for
that
it
is
(
as
it
were
)
the
verie
Center
in
the
middle
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
or
rather
of
the
world
,
considering
that
it
is
almost
equally
distant
in
situation
from
Asia
,
Africa
,
and
Europe
,
so
that
it
was
by
the
auncient
Authours
adiudged
the
most
fit
and
conuenient
seate
of
all
the
worlde
.
And
this
also
might
so
much
the
more
easily
bee
brought
to
passe
,
for
that
thereby
the
number
of
the
Venetians
Galleyes
should
be
diminished
,
and
the
Ottoman
Empire
should
encrease
the
meanes
to
make
many
moe
Gallyes
,
then
now
they
haue
.
Lastly
,
seeing
there
are
many
Candiotes
remayning
in
Constantinople
,
they
may
haue
good
information
,
and
some
aide
also
of
them
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
because
many
of
them
are
banished
persons
,
and
haue
eyther
withdrawne
themselues
into
that
Citty
to
get
their
liuings
,
by
labouring
in
the
Arsenall
,
and
in
Pera
,
or
else
are
come
thether
with
marchandises
,
and
specially
their
most
pretious
wines
,
which
they
bring
thorough
the
Greater
Sea
▪
and
from
thence
to
the
mouthes
of
the
Danowe
,
and
so
to
Chilia
,
§.
XI
.
THE
Sixt
opinion
was
,
Sultan
Soliman
very
fondly
sayed
according
to
the
reporte
of
Iouius
)
did
of
right
belong
to
the
Ottoman
Empire
,
§
XII
.
THE
seauenth
opinion
was
that
they
should
make
war
first
in
Polonia
,
Turkish
state
:
that
therby
likewise
the
passage
should
be
eased
for
their
Marchandises
,
that
goe
from
the
Turkish
States
into
Moscouie
:
that
the
Moscouite
himselfe
should
bee
put
in
a
bodily
feare
,
(
and
that
peruaduenture
to
his
great
losse
and
domage
)
because
his
Countrey
laye
so
neare
,
especially
,
considering
that
hee
was
the
impediment
,
why
the
Ottoman
Empire
atchieued
not
the
totall
conquest
of
Persia.
That
growing
in
this
sort
so
nigh
unto
Germanie
,
it
may
bee
that
one
onely
discomfiture
would
vtterly
ouerthrow
the
Emperour
,
for
that
hee
should
see
his
Countrey
the
more
easily
compassed
about
with
the
Ottoman
Forces
:
That
to
bee
short
,
all
the
Countrey
of
Polonia
is
very
open
and
without
Fortresses
,
and
that
the
Polackes
themselues
were
not
now
to
bee
accounted
any
great
warriours
,
because
they
haue
liued
so
long
in
peace
.
For
the
wars
which
they
made
with
Maximilian
were
but
of
small
continuance
,
and
the
other
warres
which
were
made
before
by
King
Stephen
with
the
Muscouite
,
were
made
by
him
as
hee
was
an
Hungarian
,
and
rather
with
Hungarian
Souldiers
,
then
with
Naturall
Polackes
,
and
rather
with
besieging
,
then
with
fighting
.
§
XIII
.
THE
eight
and
last
opinion
was
,
The
King
of
Betz
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
Vienna
,
in
times
past
peraduenture
Vindoniana
.
Those
which
were
of
this
opinion
,
were
moued
thereunto
:
for
that
the
Vscocchi
were
become
so
insolent
in
praying
vpon
the
Turkes
both
by
land
and
by
sea
,
Belgrado
,
Buda
,
and
Alba-Regale
,
and
the
rest
that
are
of
the
greatest
importance
,
were
possessed
and
garded
vetie
well
with
the
Turkish
garrisons
.
And
that
although
some
discomfiture
might
peraduenture
happen
,
yet
would
they
be
most
conuenient
receits
for
the
Reliques
of
the
armie
,
where
they
may
be
as
well
defended
and
preserued
,
as
also
repaired
and
renued
with
such
helpes
and
aydes
,
as
are
there
nigh
at
hand
.
That
the
Emperor
seemed
to
be
inclined
rather
to
peace
then
to
warre
:
and
it
may
be
also
,
that
hee
is
not
so
well
esteemed
and
obeied
by
all
the
Princes
of
Germanie
,
as
his
degree
requireth
.
That
all
the
Princes
of
Germanie
were
diuided
,
as
well
in
regard
of
their
interest
in
Religion
,
and
in
state
,
as
also
particularly
in
respect
of
the
election
of
the
Newe
King
of
Romanes
.
That
they
are
almost
wearie
(
as
some
of
the
Protestant
Princes
doe
seuerally
reporte
)
of
the
gouernement
of
the
house
of
Austria
:
and
that
they
are
also
too
much
giuen
to
the
loue
of
their
treasures
and
riches
.
And
finally
,
that
seeing
there
are
many
yeares
passed
since
the
Germanes
haue
handled
neither
Launce
nor
Arcubuse
,
they
cannot
now
tell
how
to
take
Armes
,
nor
to
vse
them
:
besides
that
they
will
hardly
bee
obedient
to
their
Capitanes
.
Lastly
,
That
euen
as
the
saide
Almanes
themselues
would
alwayes
dwell
in
murmur
and
distrust
with
the
Hungarians
,
with
the
Italians
and
with
the
Spaniardes
,
as
often
as
they
should
goe
to
the
warres
together
,
because
those
nations
are
naturally
not
well
liked
,
(
I
will
not
say
hated
)
by
them
:
So
the
sayde
Dutchmen
,
being
enemies
among
themselues
for
the
diuersitie
of
Heresies
which
they
follow
,
will
alwayes
bee
afrayde
,
least
if
the
Emperour
should
obtaine
the
victorie
and
remaine
Conquerour
,
that
then
they
shall
bee
compelled
to
forsake
their
licentious
liberty
,
and
to
obey
the
Pope
:
So
that
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
that
they
will
rather
forbeare
to
fight
,
then
to
helpe
their
prince
and
themselues
.
And
these
were
the
seuerall
opinions
of
the
Visiers
,
inconsiderate
no
doubt
for
the
most
parte
,
and
agreeable
to
their
barbarous
temerity
and
rashnes
,
whereby
they
faine
vnto
themselues
that
those
thinges
are
easie
,
which
afterwardes
by
experience
they
proue
not
onelie
to
bee
difficult
and
hard
,
but
also
very
dangerous
and
pernitious
.
§
XIIII
.
BVt
for
as
much
as
my
meaning
is
to
satisfie
those
also
,
that
may
in
any
sort
doubt
of
the
varietie
and
truth
of
the
things
,
which
I
haue
spoken
,
I
will
adde
hereunto
in
briefe
,
how
the
Turkes
come
acquainted
with
our
matters
,
and
how
wee
come
acqainted
with
theirs
:
though
it
be
most
certaine
,
that
the
like
consultations
are
proper
to
all
Princes
,
Without
doubt
the
great
Turke
,
Iohn
Miches
an
Hebrew
,
John
Lopez
,
an
Hebrew
also
(
whose
picture
by
order
of
the
holie
Inquisition
was
of
late
yeares
burned
at
Rome
)
it
is
most
certainly
knowne
for
a
truth
,
that
hee
imparted
and
commnnicated
with
Amurath
many
secretes
of
Pope
Xistus
Quintus
which
he
by
espiall
had
found
and
learned
whiles
he
remained
in
Rome
.
Lastly
,
it
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
the
Turkes
doe
also
keepe
diuerse
Spies
in
pay
,
§
XV.
ANd
as
touching
our
Christian
Princes
,
Mahomet
Socoleuich
the
chiefe
Visier
of
Selim
,
and
the
Muphti
of
that
time
,
Muphti
is
the
chiefest
man
among
the
Turkes
in
their
spirituall
Superstitions
,
&
the
chiefe
Interpreter
of
the
law
of
Mahomet
,
and
is
of
so
great
authoritie
in
shew
and
apparance
that
in
matters
of
counsel
his
opinion
is
neuer
contradicted
or
gainsaid
:
I
say
in
apparance
,
because
when
the
Turke
is
disposed
to
haue
any
matter
goe
forwarde
in
deed
,
the
Muphti
either
for
flatterie
,
or
for
feare
,
is
the
first
and
chiefest
man
to
commend
it
.
Sometimes
the
Bassaes
are
moued
so
to
doe
,
for
that
by
quarrelling
and
iarring
among
themselues
,
they
thinke
by
these
meanes
the
more
easily
to
disturbe
the
designements
and
purposes
of
their
opposites
,
as
peraduenture
the
aforesayde
Bassaes
did
,
and
as
Sinan
and
Ferat
at
last
were
wont
to
doe
.
Or
to
be
short
,
they
are
verie
oftentimes
moued
thereunto
,
because
all
Turkes
generally
are
beyond
all
measure
greedie
of
bribes
and
gifts
:
as
for
example
among
the
Bassaes
,
that
same
Hassan
shewed
himself
to
be
,
Zingi
Chan
(
who
by
some
is
not
rightly
called
Chan-gio
,
)
was
saued
aliue
by
the
meanes
of
an
Owle
:
for
this
Birde
hauing
alighted
vpon
a
certaine
thicket
of
young
trees
,
among
which
Zingi
had
hidden
himselfe
,
for
feare
of
his
enemies
that
pursued
him
,
they
did
verily
thinke
that
there
could
not
be
any
body
there
,
because
the
Birde
remayned
there
so
quietly
.
Whereupon
the
Tartarians
(
sayeth
Haytho
)
do
holde
the
sayde
Birde
in
great
reuerence
,
so
that
hee
,
which
at
that
time
could
get
any
of
her
feathers
,
accounted
himself
a
happy
man
.
And
euer
after
,
all
the
other
Tartarians
from
hand
to
hande
haue
still
continually
vsed
to
weare
the
like
feathers
on
their
heades
in
memorie
of
that
action
,
and
for
a
kinde
of
Reuerence
.
§
XVI
.
BVt
to
returne
to
our
discourse
where
wee
left
it
:
Sinan
Cicala
,
after
that
hee
perceyued
hee
had
not
perswaded
the
enterprise
of
Corfu
:
hoping
withall
to
obtayne
the
Generalshippe
,
whereby
hee
might
put
downe
his
Opposites
,
and
purchase
greate
riches
:
especially
hauing
authority
,
as
indeede
for
the
space
of
seauen
yeares
hee
had
,
to
doo
whatsoeuer
the
Great
Turke
himselfe
might
haue
done
,
if
hee
had
beene
present
in
the
Campe
.
Hassan
Grad
:
a
place
from
whence
he
might
easily
runne
ouer
the
Countrey
,
and
bridle
Carlistod
,
Zagabria
,
Metlica
,
and
all
the
Countryes
round
thereabout
:
and
spoyling
the
villages
euerie
where
,
hee
filled
all
places
with
terrour
,
with
teares
,
and
with
lamentations
.
And
one
thing
I
will
note
by
the
way
,
§
XVII
.
BVt
because
I
haue
oftentimes
made
mention
of
the
Vscocchi
,
Santa
Maria
,
the
vttermost
Promontorie
of
all
Italie
.
The
Vscocchi
speake
the
Sclauoine
speech
,
but
the
Chimeriottes
the
Albanian
:
The
one
liue
after
the
Romish
rite
,
the
other
after
the
Greeke
.
The
one
are
a
companie
gathered
togither
,
and
that
but
of
a
few
,
the
other
naturall
by
country
,
and
many
in
number
.
Among
the
Vscocchi
there
bee
many
Murlacchi
,
which
cannot
stay
vnder
the
Turke
,
and
many
that
are
banished
by
the
state
neer
to
the
Venetians
and
other
Princes
therabouts
,
and
fled
to
the
Vscocchi
for
verie
pouertie
.
The
Vscocchi
doe
dwell
vpon
the
Sea
at
Segna
,
These
Vscocchi
,
may
come
forth
into
the
Sea
,
to
pray
and
spoyle
by
foure
wayes
:
that
is
to
say
,
betweene
Fiume
,
Veghia
,
and
Cherso
:
The
Venetians
do
keepe
diuerse
Gallyes
,
and
Barkes
armed
,
And
hitherto
let
it
be
sufficient
to
haue
spoken
of
the
Vscocchi
,
and
of
the
meanes
how
to
represse
their
insolencies
:
wherein
I
referre
my selfe
,
as
also
in
all
other
things
which
I
haue
heretofore
sayd
,
and
am
hereafter
to
say
,
to
better
iudgements
then
mine
owne
,
and
to
persons
that
are
better
informed
then
I
am
.

Insomuch

that

The
end
of
the
Second
Part.
The
third
part
.
Wherein
is
treated
,
That
suppose
the
Turke
will
growe
to
Peace
,
whether
it
bee
good
that
the
Emperour
and
the
Transyluanian
make
peace
with
him
:
with
a
discourse
of
such
matters
,
as
if
the
warre
continue
,
the
said
Princes
may
worke
against
him
:
&
what
the
other
Christian
Princes
may
also
doe
,
to
meet
at
all
times
,
with
such
daungers
as
may
alight
vppon
Christendome
by
the
Ottoman
Forces
,
IN
this
last
Part
then
,
I
will
shewe
first
,
That
let
it
be
supposed
,
Mahamet
the
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
,
hath
a
desire
to
grow
to
a
Peace
with
the
Christian
Emperour
,
and
with
the
Transyluanian
,
whether
it
be
good
that
those
Princes
should
make
peace
with
him
:
and
secondly
I
will
discourse
vpon
such
matters
as
the
great
Turke
feareth
,
if
the
warre
bee
continued
,
may
bee
wrought
against
him
,
as
wel
by
the
said
Princes
,
as
by
the
other
Princes
of
Christendome
.
Wherewith
I
will
also
endeuour
my selfe
to
giue
you
such
notice
and
knowledge
of
peoples
and
places
,
as
peraduenture
this
my
trauaile
shall
bee
deemed
altogether
vnprofitable
.
§
I.
EVen
from
the
verie
beginning
of
this
warre
,
§
II.
HOwbeit
,
the
truer
opinion
was
,
that
this
Mahamet
was
encouraged
to
warre
,
But
let
vs
suppose
,
that
Mahamet
either
desired
at
that
time
to
make
peace
in
good
earnest
,
or
at
least
desireth
it
now
at
this
time
,
§
III.
THE
first
thing
to
be
considered
is
,
Despote
,
George
Wocouiche
of
Seruia
,
yet
hee
restored
him
to
his
estate
which
he
had
lost
:
Consaluo
di
Cordua
,
called
the
Grand
Captaine
,
eyther
because
the
Turke
thinketh
it
is
a
matter
of
no
moment
,
Giacomo
Soranzo
Commissioner
for
that
State
,
by
Ferat
Bey
,
(
he
that
of
late
yeares
dyed
Bassa
of
Buda
,
)
thirteene
villages
that
were
by
the
bordering
Turkes
,
surprised
in
that
warre
,
in
the
territorie
of
Zara
:
foureteene
more
in
the
territory
of
Sebenico
,
and
somewhat
also
in
the
territorie
of
Spalato
:
For
by
that
meane
hee
thought
he
should
bee
the
better
assured
of
the
breach
and
dissoluing
of
that
League
,
whereof
at
the
last
hee
was
greatlie
afrayed
.
The
Restitution
,
which
wee
may
feare
,
that
Mahamet
looketh
to
haue
from
the
Emperour
will
be
in
Croatia
,
of
the
contentious
Fort
of
Petrina
,
Vaccia
,
Filec
and
Nouigrad
.
And
it
may
be
moreouer
,
that
hee
will
challenge
the
repayring
of
the
burnt
walles
of
Attuan
,
or
some
encrease
of
Tribute
,
(
as
hee
calleth
it
,
)
for
his
expenses
in
the
warre
.
Of
the
Prince
of
Transyluania
,
On
the
other
side
,
yee
may
almost
be
assured
that
there
will
neuer
bee
gotten
of
Mahamet
the
Countrey
of
Tureuopolie
,
which
is
betweene
Saua
and
Cupa
,
Bano
:
Bani
are
certaine
Gouernors
of
Prouinces
,
but
are
of
lesse
authoritie
then
the
Beglerbyes
,
though
some
haue
written
otherwise
.
Neither
shall
ye
euer
get
of
him
Biz
,
or
Bicagi
,
a
place
of
some
importance
,
because
it
is
more
towardes
the
Sea
coast
,
neare
to
the
territorie
of
the
Venetians
to
come
to
Nouigrad
:
nor
in
Hungarie
on
this
side
of
the
Danowe
,
Vesprino
,
and
Giauarino
,
with
the
Castles
neare
adioyning
,
and
beyond
the
Danow
Agria
,
the
last
place
that
he
hath
taken
.
I
haue
thought
good
to
set
downe
the
said
places
by
their
particular
names
,
to
the
ende
that
by
knowing
what
matters
of
greatest
moment
and
importance
are
in
the
possession
of
either
side
,
my
narration
and
discourse
may
proue
the
plainer
.
§
IIII.
THE
second
thing
to
be
considered
is
this
:
Moreouer
,
Neither
should
the
Emperour
be
free
from
feare
in
this
point
,
And
thus
vpon
these
reasons
that
haue
beene
set
downe
,
it
may
be
concluded
verie
resolutely
,
that
to
make
peace
on
this
fashion
,
would
not
onely
not
be
helpefull
to
the
two
Princes
,
but
also
much
more
daungerous
and
pernicious
to
both
their
estates
,
for
that
the
enemie
may
shortly
after
take
vp
armes
againe
,
and
renue
the
warre
with
greater
aduauntage
,
whensoeuer
hee
shall
thinke
it
fit
and
conuenient
for
him
.
§
V.
THE
third
and
last
consideration
,
which
appertaineth
not
so
much
to
the
aforsaide
Princes
,
Of
truth
it
is
not
to
be
thought
,
that
he
will
renue
the
warre
against
the
King
of
Persia
,
§
VI.
NEither
is
it
to
bee
thought
,
Mulei
Ameth
the
king
of
Fez
and
Marocco
,
Mulei
Ameth
,
who
was
the
Brother
of
Abdala
and
of
Mahamet
,
is
a
man
very
hardy
and
warlike
:
insomuch
as
although
to
diuert
the
suspition
,
which
his
Brother
Abdala
had
conceiued
against
him
,
whiles
he
raigned
,
and
was
King
,
hee
shewed
himselfe
euen
for
all
the
worlde
as
the
Ottoman
Mahamet
did
,
to
auoide
the
wrath
and
displeasure
of
his
Father
,
altogether
geuen
to
pleasures
and
sensualitie
,
§
VII
.
NOr
against
the
Isle
of
Malta
,
because
(
as
Amurath
was
aduised
by
Sinan
Cicala
,
§
VIII
.
NOr
yet
against
Spaine
,
As
concerning
the
Portugals
and
the
Aragonians
,
of
whom
also
according
to
the
opinion
of
the
Bassaes
,
it
seemed
that
the
King
Catholike
might
stand
in
some
feare
:
the
truth
is
,
that
they
are
not
onely
humbled
by
a
tollerable
kinde
of
inforcement
,
but
euen
of
their
owne
selues
they
haue
applied
and
setled
their
mindes
to
an
honest
necessitie
.
Moreouer
,
those
that
haue
good
intelligence
in
matters
of
state
,
doe
knowefull
well
,
that
to
lend
the
eare
to
the
aduices
and
encouragement
of
Outlawes
and
discontented
persons
,
is
a
verie
vaine
thing
,
and
oftentimes
proueth
verie
daungerous
.
Besides
it
is
verie
likely
and
credible
,
that
the
Turke
will
verie
well
bethinke
himselfe
,
before
hee
will
rashly
run
to
prouoke
and
stirre
vp
the
greatest
king
in
the
world
against
him
,
notwithstanding
that
hee
bee
greatly
busied
and
occupied
in
other
wars
:
as
wel
for
that
if
he
should
be
molested
by
the
Ottoman
forces
,
he
may
very
easily
conclude
a
peace
,
or
at
least
suspension
from
warres
with
his
enemies
,
as
also
because
he
is
so
mightie
a
Prince
,
that
he
may
wel
quite
himselfe
against
the
Turks
,
especially
with
his
Armada
,
and
Fleete
of
ships
,
which
without
encrease
of
any
expences
vnto
him
,
he
may
cause
euerie
yeare
in
good
time
to
scoure
the
Ottoman
Seas
.
For
out
of
all
doubt
,
he
is
not
inferiour
to
the
Turk
,
Neither
truly
is
it
likely
(
as
some
thinke
)
that
he
will
moue
warre
against
the
Polackes
,
or
against
the
Tartarians
,
or
against
the
Moscouites
.
§

NOt
against

Polackes
,
§
X.
NOt
against
the
Tartarians
,
§
XI
.
AND
lastly
,
not
against
the
Moscouites
,
If
then
it
be
a
matter
in
reason
not
to
be
feared
,
§
XII
.
IF
against
the
state
of
Venice
:
Trabisonda
,
Sinope
,
the
Islande
of
Metelino

But
forasmuch
as
the
worlde
ringeth
to
this
day
with
the
wordes
,
Cuzzimu
Barec
,
that
is
to
say
,
The
famous
and
holy
place
,
for
the
reuerence
which
they
beare
to
the
Sepulchre
of
our
Lord
,
&
in
that
respect
is
visited
(
as
Bethlehem
likewise
is
,
)
by
their
Chazilarii
,
that
is
to
say
,
their
Pilgrimes
,
in
their
returne
from
Mecha
:
And
forasmuch
also
,
as
euery
man
dooth
well
know
the
godly
and
wonderfull
entreatie
and
perswasion
made
to
the
saide
Christian
Princes
,
by
Petrus
Heremita
,
Iohn
Capestrano
,
Surely
,
Godfrey
,
Baldwyn
,
Boemound
,
and
those
other
famous
Argonautes
,
who
to
recouer
out
of
the
prophane
handes
of
the
enemies
of
holy
fayth
,
the
sacred
Sepulchre
of
our
Redeemer
,
sold
their
owne
proper
goodes
,
abandoned
their
landes
and
houses
,
passed
ouer
the
Seas
,
and
for
a
long
time
endured
exceeding
great
trauailes
and
troubles
,
because
they
thought
that
they
could
not
better
employ
their
treasures
,
ther
weapons
,
and
their
valour
,
then
in
so
holy
and
laudable
an
enterprise
,
who
then
will
bee
the
first
man
that
will
take
the
Crosse
,
and
giue
example
to
others
?
Who
will
he
be
,
that
will
be
Captaine
and
guide
herein
?
Where
be
the
Souldiers
of
Christ
,
that
will
follow
this
glorious
standard
and
Ensinge
?
And
finally
who
will
shew
himselfe
so
impious
,
that
he
will
not
lay
aside
all
priuate
iniuries
and
hatreds
,
for
the
common
safetie
?
But
hereof
let
it
be
inough
for
me
to
haue
spoken
,
being
carried
therunto
out
of
my
determinate
discourse
and
narration
,
by
a
iust
zeale
that
I
beare
towardes
the
honour
of
God
,
and
the
saluation
of
so
many
soules
,
which
are
redeemed
by
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
and
liue
at
this
day
in
the
most
miserable
thraldome
and
slauerie
of
the
Ottoman
Empire
.
And
therefore
if
the
great
Turke
shoulde
mooue
warre
agaynst
the
Common-wealth
of
Venice
:
Marcus
Antonius
by
Sea
,
subdued
also
his
olde
and
victorious
armie
consisting
of
eightie
thousand
footemen
,
and
two
&
twentie
thousand
horsemen
,
without
any
fight
.
The
like
was
done
by
Roger
the
Calabrian
,
Admiral
to
the
king
of
Aragon
,
who
notwithstanding
that
his
king
was
vppon
the
land
ouerthrowne
by
the
king
of
France
,
yet
assaulting
the
French
Armada
by
Sea
,
discomfited
the
same
,
recouered
that
which
was
lost
,
and
carried
away
the
fruites
of
both
the
victories
.
And
who
knoweth
not
,
what
might
haue
beene
done
,
after
the
Turkish
fleete
was
dispersed
and
ouerthrowne
in
the
yeare
,
1571.
And
when
it
ranne
away
of
it selfe
in
1572.
If
at
the
first
occasion
and
oportunitie
that
was
then
so
happily
offered
,
there
had
beene
made
a
choise
of
the
best
Gallies
,
to
haue
gone
presently
and
met
with
the
enemie
in
the
Arcipelago
,
and
in
Morea
,
and
euen
as
farre
as
Cyprus
:
and
if
in
the
second
good
oportunitie
we
had
followed
the
happie
and
iudicious
courage
of
Soranzo
,
the
generall
Prouidatorie
of
Venice
?
Verie
true
it
is
,
Corfu
,
Cathara
and
Zara
are
among
other
Fortes
esteemed
to
bee
inexpugnable
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
by
reason
of
their
moderate
and
reasonable
distance
from
Venice
,
they
may
easily
bee
succoured
and
relieued
,
and
being
as
it
were
the
keyes
of
the
Adriatike
Sea
,
they
may
also
hinder
the
entrance
of
the
enemy
,
or
enforce
him
of
necessitie
to
returne
backe
with
all
speed
,
least
hee
remayne
entangled
and
caught
in
the
nette
.
Now
touching
Italie
,
forasmuch
as
I
haue
already
heretofore
touched
the
reasons
,
which
might
one
day
moue
the
Ottoman
to
thinke
of
such
a
course
,
I
will
in
this
place
set
downe
the
most
principall
wayes
,
whereby
he
may
come
thither
,
and
that
to
answere
to
such
persons
as
doe
thinke
the
same
not
onely
to
be
a
verie
difficult
matter
,
but
almost
altogither
impossible
.
§
XIII
.
THE
Turke
hath
two
wayes
,
The
Turkish
Armies
,
departing
from
Constantinople
,
without
comming
to
Mandor-Alba
,
or
Alba-Graeca
,
Ammianus
Marcellinus
reporteth
,
that
by
the
same
way
Gallus
the
brother
of
Iulian
was
carried
in
a
Chariot
from
Betouia
to
Pola
.
§
XIIII
,
MOreouer
,
the
Turke
,
to
the
ende
hee
might
the
more
grieuously
vexe
and
trouble
Italie
,
Ciuita
Vecchia
.
Besides
that
it
is
well
knowne
what
the
Turks
haue
done
diuers
times
at
Augusta
,
at
Cotrone
,
at
Reggio
,
and
in
more
auncient
times
what
the
Saracens
did
at
Mount
Gargano
,
now
called
Sant-Angelo
.
I
know
verie
well
how
hard
a
matter
it
will
be
for
the
Turkes
to
put
in
execution
those
Designements
,
§
XV.
AMong
other
remedies
,
that
were
proposed
,
when
Mahamet
the
second
surprise
Ottranto
,
(
as
I
tolde
you
)
to
diuerte
him
from
Italie
,
Martiu
de
Segoni
Bishoppe
of
Dulcigno
,
as
wee
reade
in
a
Treatise
that
hee
wrote
thereof
to
Pope
Sixtus
the
Fourth
,
propounded
this
present
remedy
,
which
it
delighteth
mee
to
report
in
his
owne
verie
wordes
.
Pannonum
Rex
(
sayeth
hee
)
cum
suo
Exercitu
,
confederatisque
populis
,
praesentet
se
ad
Danubium
,
fama
praecedente
quod
in
Rasciam
sit
traiecturus
:
futurum
inde
omnium
Turcorum
multitudine
sibi
obuiam
ad
I
strii
traiectum
progrediente
,
Gentes
nuper
Valonam
&
ad
alia
Epiri
maritima
loca
missae
,
ad
Italiam
transfretandae
,
statim
ob
metum
Pannonum
ad
castra
Turchi
reuocentur
.
That
is
to
say
,
Let
the
King
of
Hungarie
with
his
Armie
and
Confederates
present
himselfe
at
the
Danowe
,
with
a
fame
and
rumor
first
geuen
out
,
that
hee
is
minded
to
passe
ouer
into
Rascia
:
and
thereupon
will
it
come
to
passe
,
that
al
the
Turkes
multitude
proceeding
to
meet
with
him
at
the
passage
of
the
(
Danowe
where
it
is
called
)
Ister
,
the
souldiers
which
were
lately
sent
to
Valona
,
and
to
other
maritimall
places
of
Epirus
,
of
purpose
to
bee
transported
into
Italie
,
presently
for
feare
of
the
Hungarians
,
shall
be
called
backe
to
the
Turkes
Campe
.
Now
wee
hauing
in
steade
of
the
king
of
Hungarie
,
the
Emperour
,
and
the
Prince
of
Transyluania
,
I
will
discourse
to
the
same
purpose
,
as
well
of
the
one
as
of
the
other
,
so
far
forth
as
shall
bee
sufficient
most
clearely
to
make
knowne
,
what
hinderance
and
detriment
it
would
bee
to
Christendome
,
if
these
two
Princes
,
§
XVI
.
THE
Emperour
hath
already
his
weapons
in
hand
:
Let
vs
adde
hereunto
,
Whereas
,
if
the
warre
continue
,
who
can
with
any
reason
doubt
,
And
also
for
that
from
the
languishing
of
the
head
proceedeth
the
weaknesse
of
the
members
.
And
it
may
be
,
that
he
commaunded
his
armie
to
retyre
out
of
Croatia
,
not
onely
because
he
knew
the
iealousie
which
the
Italian
Princes
doe
carrie
of
their
owne
affaires
,
and
specially
the
Venetians
,
who
in
that
respect
haue
put
themselues
in
defence
with
their
new
fortresse
of
Palma
:
but
also
because
hee
would
vnite
all
his
forces
togither
,
&
so
become
the
stronger
to
performe
the
said
enterprise
.
But
howsoeuer
it
bee
,
certaine
it
is
that
he
hath
not
withdrawne
it
for
any
giftes
or
rewardes
which
he
hath
receiued
from
the
Venetians
,
as
some
haue
falsly
beleeued
.
Againe
,
that
wee
may
thinke
the
better
of
this
daunger
,
it
is
a
matter
worthie
of
good
consideration
,
that
Mahamet
was
enclined
to
this
enterprise
from
his
childhoode
,
in
so
much
as
euen
at
that
time
hee
made
humble
supplication
to
his
father
,
that
hee
would
reserue
that
glorie
for
him
:
which
without
all
doubt
,
if
(
as
God
forbid
)
it
should
so
fall
out
and
come
to
passe
in
deed
,
would
not
onely
proue
to
bee
a
most
notable
losse
to
the
Empire
,
but
also
in
particular
to
all
Italie
.
For
so
hauing
gotten
the
possession
of
that
key
,
which
is
of
greatest
importaunce
to
open
him
the
way
into
the
entrance
of
all
those
Countries
,
he
shall
also
haue
a
more
readie
and
easie
passage
into
the
fairest
and
goodliest
part
of
the
world
,
which
is
the
verie
vttermost
scope
and
end
of
all
the
Ottoman
designements
.
Philippo
Pigafetta
hath
written
)
they
may
easily
passe
to
trouble
and
vexe
both
Astria
,
and
Stiria
.
)
But
for
as
much
as
among
those
things
,
which
hinder
the
Emperour
from
such
aydes
and
succours
as
he
desireth
and
as
without
all
doubt
would
be
most
sit
and
conuenient
for
this
present
businesse
,
there
are
three
especially
that
are
worthy
of
greatest
consideration
:
it
shall
not
be
amisse
to
touch
them
.
§
XVII
.
THe
first
thing
is
,
and
therefore
Caluanisme
is
a
kind
of
disposition
to
Mahametisme
,
as
many
very
learned
men
haue
written
.
Besides
that
both
the
great
Potentates
,
&
also
the
common
Subiects
there
haue
suffered
themselues
most
easily
to
be

this
impietie

,
onely
in
regarde
of
the
most
sensuall
and
licencious
life
,
which
they
are
thereby
permitted
to
lead
.
The
second
thing
is
(
which
is
so
peremptorily
disputed
by
many
)
that
the
Emperor
is
to
make
peace
with
the
Turke
,
because
the
Empire
sheweth
it selfe
so
backewarde
and
faint
to
relieue
him
:
as
well
for
that
it
feareth
to
spend
her
treasure
to
no
purpose
,
as
also
for
that
it
being
of
it selfe
enclined
to
peace
,
The
thirde
and
last
thing
is
,
That
if
the
Empire
on
the
one
side
bee
not
willing
to
contribute
to
so
great
expenses

That
in

it
was
prophecied
of
an
Hungarian
prince
which
in
time
should
reduce
all
the
Barbarians
vnder
his

And
the
like
also
is
read
in

of
them

)
some
doe
reckon
him
among

,
and
some
doe
not

Lastly
it
is
also
most
true
,
that
the

greatly
feare

respect

for

make

I
will
for
the

poynt
discouer
vnto
you
,
§

FIrst
the
Turke
feareth
least
the
Princes
of
Italie
will
resolue
in
earnest
to
succour
the
Emperour
and
the
Transyluanian

§
XXII
.
MOreouer
hee
doubteth
that
Polonia
also
will
rise
vp
against
him
:
1
The
first
,
because
thereby
he
must
needes
loose
Moldauia
,
2
The
second
reason
is
,
Conte
Ianus
sonne
of
Basilius
the
Duke
of
Ostroua
,
and
other
their
Captains
,
which
they
likewise
receyued
from
the
Polonians
.
These
Cosacchi
doo
dwell
in
an
Island
of
Boristhenes
,
almost
foure
dayes
iourneyes
aboue
Vosia
.
The
Island
is
called
Chirches
,
and
the
Riuer
Boristhenes
is
by
them
termed
Nis
,
which
is
the
Niepro
.
They
are
Arcubuziers
,
and
excellent
Archers
,
and
both
by
nature
and
open
profession
verie
greate
enemies
to
the
Turkes
.
Many
of
them
doo
serue
at
this
day
the
Transyluanian
,
the
foresaid
Hieremie
and
Michael
.
Others
doo
attend
and
goe
with
the
Chanceller
of
Polonia
:
and
others
are
also
dispersed
and
scattered
in
Podolia
.
But
all
of
them
with
great
courage
doo
shewe
their
faces
to
the
Tartarians
,
and
Turks
.

The
last
reason
is
,
because
the
Polacke
onely
,
And
here
by
the
way
,
I
will
not
forbeare
to
aduertise
you
of
an
errour
,
which
is
of
no
small
moment
,
as
I
haue
also
endeauored
my selfe
to
doe
,
in
sundry
fitte
places
of
this
narration
,
of
diuers
others
which
peraduenture
will
not
proue
altogether
vnprofitable
,
to
such
as
are
delighted
with
the
like
studies
.
P.
Iouius
describing
the
said
Prouinces
of
Walachia
and
Moldauia
,
beeing
deceiued
by
the
ambiguous
and
doubtfull
worde
of
Polackes
,
confoundeth
the
one
of
them
with
the
other
.
And
so
are
others
also
deceyued
who
doo
thinke
that
to
bee
Walachia
,
which
the
Hungarians
call
Transalpina
the
lesser
,
whereas
in
comparison
of
Moldauia
,
it
should
bee
called
Transalpina
the
Greater
.
Those
are
likewise
in
an
error
,
who
do
hold
,
that
walachia
called
by
the
Turkes
Islakia
,
deriuing
the
name
from
the
ancient
Romane
Flacci
,
is
also
termed
by
them
Bogdania
&
Cara
Bogdania
,
Deodato
.
i.
Gods
gift
,
adding
therevnto
for
his
praenomen
or
forename
Cara
,
which
signifieth
Blacke
.
And
it
is
called
also
Moldauia
of
the
Daui
,
who
were
the
frist
inhabiters
therof
,
and
rather
for
the
softnesse
and
fatnesse
of
the
moulde
of
that
soyle
,
then
for
the
blackenesse
of
it
,
as
he
thought
,
that
called
it
Mori-Dauia
.
But
returning
backe
againe
to
Polonia
,
I
will
here
set
downe
also
the
aunswere
,
which
the
Chanceller
of
that
kingdome
made
to
Sinan
Bassa
,
at
such
time
as
he
required
and
demaunded
the
tribute
,
which
he
wrongfully
pretended
to
bee
due
to
his
Lord
and
maister
:
to
the
end
that
thereby
may
be
knowne
the
benefite
and
profite
,
that
in
all
reason
is
to
bee
expected
of
this
combination

He
also
feareth
the
armies
and
power
of
the
Czar
or
Zar
of
Moscouia
,
for
so
the
Moscouites
doe
call
their
prince
:
besides
the
reasons
before
alledged
,
as
well
for
that
he
doth
absolutely
commaund
and
gouerne
his
subiects
,
and
therefore
it
seemeth
that
among
al
the
princes
of
the
world
,
he
is
the
only
man
that
may
compare
with
him
:
as
also
for
that
he
doth
verie
well
remember
the
discomfitures
which
the
Moscouites
haue
giuen
to
the
Turkes
(
for
the
Turkish
princes
doe
vse
to
record
in
writing
the
actions
of
their
ancesters
)
and
in
particular
,
when
thy
went
about
at
the
last
to
draw
the
Tana
into
the
V●lga
,
they
were
by
the
Moscouites
(
who
had
vnited
themselues
with
the
Tartarians
of
Precop
,
)
scattered
and
put
to
flight
.
Hee
feareth
the
Czar
likewise
,
Albertus
Campensis
,
and
as
it
is
more
at
large
recorded
in
the
Moscouia
of
father
Antonio
Posseuino
,
a
greate
minister
of
the
seruice
of
God
,
sent
of
late
for
the
same
purpose
by
Gregorie
the
13.
to
Iohn
Basilius
,
vpon
occasion
of
the
warre
,
which
the
said
Iohn
had
with
Stephen
king
of
Polonia
.
Or
rather
he
feareth
the
Moscouite
,
because
hee
suspecteth
,
that
if
he
should
become
the
head
and
chiefe
of
all
the
Grecicians
,
This
suspition
is
increased
in
the
Turke
,
Lastly
,
the
Turke
feareth
the
Moscouite
,
Alessandro
Cumuli
the
Popes
Agent
.
§
XXIIII
.
THE
Ottoman
likewise
feareth
,
Alipe
Chan
,
treating
with
Visconte
the
Nuntio
for
some
aide
,
that
hee
might
bee
preserued
in
his
State
against
his
Brother
Hirach
,
was
not
able
to
procure
many
of
his
owne
people
to
be
sent
foorth
out
of
his
owne
Countrey
.
I
know
it
wel
that
some
haue
attributed
the
cause
of
this
defect
of
the
Tartarians
to
the
discontentmentes
,
And
in
sooth
euen
as
true
is
it
,
Alipe
Chan
to
maintaine
himselfe
in
the
state
,
and
Hirach
to
driue
him
out
of
it
,
they
held
all
the
Countrey
in
a
faction
,
and
busied
wholy
in
the
defence
of
their
owne
priuate
quarels
,
as
yet
they
doe
.
For
Alipe
though
he
be
the
King
now
reigning
,
is
not
obeyed
by
all
the
Tartarians
:
and
Hirach
is
acknowledged
to
be
king
,
onely
by
such
as
haue
serued
him
as
generall
in
this
warre
.
Who
although
it
is
verie
likely
that
in
the
end
hee
will
get
the
victorie
,
because
the
Turkish
Emperour
Mahamet
hath
commaunded
them
all
to
obey
him
,
and
acknowledge
him
for
their
king
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
Souldiers
doe
follow
him
:
yet
is
the
contrarie
opinion
holden
by
such
as
haue
the
best
intelligence
of
the
Tartarian
affaires
,
not
onely
because
euen
among
the
Barbarians
.
Ius
Naturae
,
i.
the
right
of
Nature
caryeth
a
great
stroke
,
but
also
because
Hirach
is
lesse
beloued
,
more
auaricious
,
and
esteemed
among
them
to
be
a
man
of
small

for

better
vnderstanding

somewhat
farther

is

Gran

,
the
vassall
or
slaue
of
the
great
Lord
:
nor
any
more
infamous
and
more
abhorred
,
then
the
worde
Turke
:
for
Turke
in
their
tongue
signifieth
a
villaine
:
as
among
the
Greeks
Nomade
doth
not
signifie
onely
a
man
of
Numidia
,
but
a
Sheepheard
,
and
therfore
Strabo
calleth
the
Scythians
,
Nomadi
.
And
hereof
likewise
it
is
,
as
it
hath
beene
also
obsetued
by
a
late
moderne
writer
,
that
euen
as
the
Italians
doe
in
their
Comedies
bring
on
the
stage
a
Zani
,
which
is
a
Bergamaske
slaue
or
villaine
,
so
the
Turks
in
their
playes
do
bring
vp
a
Turke
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
rusticall
or
rude
Clowne
.
Others
there
are
,
which
deriue
the
worde
Turke
from
the
Hebrew
,
and
wil
haue
it
to
signifie
an
Exul
or
a
banished
man
,
for
the
selfe
same
reasons
,
for
which
we
told
you
before
,
that

The
rinegate

out
of

it
is

They

or

I
wil
onely
speake
of
those
Greekes
,
which
serue
best
for
this
our
purpose
,
not
regarding
them
for
this
time
touching
their
Religion
,
but
considering
them
for
so
much
as
in
policie
may
bee
expected
and
hoped
for
at
their
handes
,
in
this
particular
point
of
rebellion
and
insurrection
.
Gardan
Vaiuode
,
and
made
a
great
slaughter
of
the
Turkes
that
were
in
their
Countrey
:
but
when
they
were
minded
to
passe
further
,
they
vnderstood
the
contrarie
,
and
so
in
a
discontented
maner
retired
themselues
into
their
mountaines
.
And
for
as
much
as
these
poore
miserable
Greeks
haue
endured
so
seuere
chastisement
at
the
handes
of
the
Turkish
officers
,
that
they
remaine
not
onely
most
pitifully
afraied
,
but
also
most
grieuously
oppressed
,
their
chiefe
heades
and
gouernours
being
cruelly
put
to
death
,
their
children
taken
from
their
parents
,
some
killed
and
slaughtered
,
and
almost
all
of
them
bereaued
and
spoyled
of
that
little
which
they
had
,
and
brought
to
extreame
miserie
:
a
man
may
verie
plainely
and
clearly
see
and
know
that
to
be
most
true
,
Iohn
Botero
in
his
Africa
,
and
more
at
large
by
Antonio
Bruni
in
his
treatise
of
the
Beglerbey-ship
of
Graecia
,
Moreouer
,
the
Chimeriotes
,
of
whom
I
haue
spoken
somewhat
alreadie
,
Lastly
,
But
returning
to
those
peoples
,
that
dwell
in
the
Turkish
Country
,
Cairo
,
Aleppo
,
and
Tauris
,
adding
Pera
therevnto
,
where
all
the
Latines
almost
do
remaine
,
those
few
Caffaluchi
excepted
,
Others
are
of
opinion
,
Mahamet

and
lastly
of
Sinan
and
of
Ferat
,
and
those
iarres
that
are
not
yet
appeased
betweene
Cicala
and
Hibraim
.
And
this
matter
might
the
more
safely
bee
brought
to
passe
,
if
any
occasion
should
fall
out
,
that
diuerse
Brethren
should
meete
in
pretense
and
challenge
of
the
Empire
,
as
it
happened
among
the
Children
of
Mahamet

of
Baiazet
,
and
of
Soliman
:
or
if
the
Empire
should
chance
to

are

,
as

and

,
and
ouer
all
the
partes
of
Europe
,
that
confine
and
border
vppon
the
Turkes
.
which
course
in
mine
opinion
,
although
it
will
not
peraduenture
worke
that
which
such
like
bookes
doe
vsually
worke
among
vs
Christians
,
being
sowen
and
scattered
abroade
for
the
most
part
by
men
,
that
are
desirous
of
Nouelties
,
especially
for
that
the
Turkes
are
as
farre
from
employing
themselues
in
reading
and
studie
,
as
wee
are
too
much
addicted
thereunto
,
and
curious
therein
:
yet
notwithstanding
,
it
may
peraduenture
one
day
worke
some
great
good
,
if
some
Great
man
among
them
should
become
the
Head
of
a
new
sect
:
Paulus
Iouius
calleth
Arduel
the
Father
of
Ismael
the
Sophi

And
here
I
cannot
but
vpon
this
occasion
recount
vnto
yon
a
matter
most
worthie
to
be
recorded
in
Historie
,
So
that
in
truth
,
Antonio
di
Flores
,
a
Neapolitane
,
yet
one
day
perhappes
may
bee
so
happily
promoted
and
furthered
,
as
it
will
bring
foorth
that
fruit
which
was
affected
&
desired
by
Pope
Gregorie
the
XIII
.
a
man
in
that
respect
worthie
of
euerlasting
memorie
,
and
is
also
at
this
time
greatly
endeauored
by
the
Pope
that
now
liueth
.
But
forasmuch
as
the
greatest
part
of
those
Christians
,
which
doe
continuallie
dwell
and
remayne
within
the
Turkish
dominions
,
are
Albanois
,
I
will
somewhat
insist
vpon
telling
you
somewhat
of
them
.
§

.
SOme
of
these
Albanois
or
Albanians
do
liue
according
to
the
Latine
rite
,
These
Ducagini
do
dwell
in
the
mountain
Scardo
,
This
Albania
at
the
Adriatike
Sea
is
compassed
about
by
verie
high
mountaines
.
A
plaine
countrey
it
is
,
and
watered
with
many
very
great
riuers
,
so
that
they
debarre
passage
for
footmen
to
trauell
to
those
Christians
that
inhabite
the
other
partes
of
the
Countrey
.
They
haue
no
Horse
,
neyther
haue
they
any
meanes
to
make
Bridges
.
Those
places
that
are
inward
and
inclosed
within
the
waters
are
in
the
possession
of
the
Turkes
:
and
although
they
be
not
all
garded
with
Garrisons
,
nor
strongly
kepte
,
yet
the
principall
of
them
are
verie
safe
,
And
thus
much
bee
spoken
of
the
Turkes
naturall
,
and
of
the
Rinegadoes
,
and
of
the
Grecians
and
Latines
,
that
dwell
in
the
Turkes
dominions
.
§
XXVIII
.
AND
lastly
the
Turke
considereth
,
Naples
,
Sicilie
and
Genoa
,
should
ioyne
themselues
with
the
Gallyes
of
the
Pope
,
of
Malta
,
of
Florence
,
and
of
Sauoy
,
they
would
make
so
good
a
bodie
of
an
Armada
,
that
being
assisted
by
fauourable
winds
,
they
may
very
easily
on
a
suddaine
assault
,
either
Castle-Nuouo
,
or
the
Velona
,
and
other
places
of
Albania
:
or
else
if
they
forbeare
so
to
doe
in
regard
of
the
Common-wealth
of
Venice
,
who
chalengeth
iurisdiction
in
the
Adriatical
sea
,
for
such
reasons
as
are
at
large
displayed
by
Girolamo
Bardi
,
they
may
assaile
Morea
,
and
perhaps
also
the
Dardanelli
,
or
some
other
notable
place
of
his
Empire
to
his
exceeding
losse
.
Which
poynt
being
verie
considerable
and
of
good
consequence
,
Castle-Nuouo
is
within
the
Chanell
of
Catharo
called
in
olde
times
the
auncient
Ascriuius
.
Iacomo
Soranzo
the
general
Proueditorie
for
the
Venetian
Armada
,
Velona
,
called
in
times
past
Aulon
,
is
situate
at
the
mouth
of
the
gulf
of
the
Sea
Adriatike
,
Santa
Maria
,
in
old
time
called
Iapygia
,
in
Pulia
,
not
aboue
threescore
miles
from
Otranto
.
This
place
hath
no
conuenient
Port
or
Hauen
for
the
Gallies
,
but
some
three
miles
off
:
the
entrance
thereof
,
being
well
defended
,
and
barred
with
marishes
,
with
Pooles
and
Saltpits
.
It
is
not
verie
strong
,
and
yet
if
you
should
be
minded
to
conquer
it
,
you
must
batter
two
Castels
,
the
one
,
which
is
in
the
plaines
and
almost
conioyned
with
the
Burgo
,
and
built
in
times
past
by
the
aduise
of
Pignatello
an
Out-law
of
Naples
:
Touching
the
rest
of
Albania
or
Arbania
,
George
Castriotte
,
yet
now
they
cannot
shew
themselues
to
be
the
same
men
,
Dulcigno
,
Durazzo
,
The
Turke
may
also
be
greatly
damnified
,
Cyrus
,
Caesar
,
and
Hanniball
,
and
so
haue
the
most
famous
auncient
Captaines
aduised
to
do
,
whatsoeuer
other
moderne
men
of
later
times
do
say
to
the
contrarie
.
Moreouer
,
by
this
meanes
he
should
easily
be
diuerted
and
turned
away
indeed
,
and
his
Armada
hindred
from
going
any
further
.
Lastly
,
§
XXIX
.
BVt
most
true
it
is
,
Moreouer
it
would
bee
also
necessarie
to
haue
such
persons
in
the
Armada
,
as
are
verie
expert
in
the
knowledge
of
the
Countryes
,
least
it
happen
to
them
,
as
it
happened
to
the
Knightes
of
Malta
,
who
fayled
in
the
surprise
of
Modone
,
because
they
did
not
know
at
the
first
that
there
was
a
Bridge
to
bee
passed
ouer
,
presently
after
they
had
made
their
first
entrance
.
It
were
likewise
very
fitte
and
conuenient
,
Constantine
Cominianus
,
and
Pope
Pius
the
V.
who
called
Fryer
Gasper
Bruni
,
the
commendatorie
of
Ierusalem
from
Dulcigno
,
of
purpose
to
vse
him
in
the
Armada
against
the
Turke
and
other
matters
of
moment
appertaining
to
that
warre
.
§
XXX
.
TO
be
briefe
,
the
Turke
is
afraid
,
least
the
Armada
of
Spaine
,
And
yet
I
do
not
say
,
that
when
the
Dardanelli
are
surprised
&
taken
,
Constantinople
will
presently
be
gotten
,
as
some
haue
written
:
but
this
I
say
,
that
it
wil
put
that
Citie
in
such
a
fright
,
as
it
will
be
no
great
matter
,
if
any
tumult
be
raised
to
make
the
entrance
into
it
,
verie
easie
of
it selfe
and
open
,
especially
if
they
shall
haue
before
hand
entertained
some
intelligence
within
the
Citie
,
or
that
the
Turke
shall
haue
receiued
some
notable
ouerthrow
,
eyther
by
land
or
Sea
.
The
Dardanelli
,
that
is
on
Europes
side
,
hath
a
hil
that
doth
wholy
commaund
it
.
The
other
which
is
in
Natolia
,
or
Asia
,
as
they
call
it
,
lieth
in
the
plaine
.
They
are
both
easie
to
be
gotten
,
because
they
are
built
after
the
olde
maner
.
Against
that
which
standeth
in
Asia
,
the
Abbay
may
also
bee
vsed
,
and
so
by
making
great
hilles
of
sand
(
for
it
is
built
vpon
the
shore
)
it
may
be
vndermined
,
as
the
Turkes
vse
to
doe
.
They
are
in
breadth
distant
the
one
from
the
other
more
then
a
mile
:
and
in
length
from
Gallipoli
,
thirtie
myles
,
and
from
Constantinople
about
a
hundred
and
threescore
.
§
XXXI
.
THere
are
likewise
many
other
wayes
,
But
to
the
ende
that
our
Princes
may
bee
assured
,
§
XXXII
.
FInally
,
I
will
set
downe
for
the
last
poynt
,
Francis
Guicciardin
writeth
of
Pope
Leo
the
tenth
,
when
he
greatly
feared
,
that
Selim
would
haue
passed
into
Italie
,
not
vnlike
to
that
which
other
Popes
haue
done
,
as
P.
Iouius
writeth
in
his
counsell
giuen
for
the
warre
against
the
Turke
,
and
sundry
other
Authours
likewise
.
The
Pope
(
saith
Guicciardin
)
like
an
vniuersall
father
,
§
XXXIII
.
I
Would
to
God
it
might
please
his
Maiestie
,
that
euen
as
the
vniting
togither
of
all
the
Princes
Christian
agaynst
the
Turke
,
Godfrey
of
Boleine
,
not
onely
in
resolution
,
but
also
,
(
if
need
should
so
require
)
in
alienating
their
owne
proper
states
&
dominions
,
as
he
did
with
the
dukedom
of
Boleine
,
that
so
he
might
haue
means
to
make
&
maintaine
war
against
the
same
tyrant
:
as
many
other
of
those
Lords
did
,
that
concurred
in
that
holy
league
,
whereof
we
haue
told
you
before
.
Wherevpon
it
pleased
the
Lord
of
Hoasts
,
either
for
our
instruction
,
or
for
our
shame
and
confusion
,
so
to
work
with
them
that
they
recouered
the
holy
Sepulchre
,
and
with
verie
great
glorie
subdued
all
the
East
.
