A
LETTER
Sent
by
the
Emperor
of
Morocco
And
KING
of
FEZ
,
To
his
MAJESTY
of
Great
BRITAIN
,
And
delivered
by
his
Embassador
in
January
,
1681.
In
the
name
of
the
most
Gracious
God
,
the
Lord
over
all
Lords
.
FRom
the
Servant
of
the
most
High
God
,
Governour
over
all
the
People
,
ISMAEL
KERIFF
,
over-flowing
with
Good
Deeds
:
He
the
high
Commands
of
God
and
of
the
Angels
regarding
,
but
of
none
other
:
He
that
has
Millions
of
Horses
at
his
Command
,
sendeth
Peace
to
them
that
follow
Truth
.
We
have
understood
by
way
of
TANGIER
,
that
we
are
in
perfect
Friendship
,
and
that
the
Peace
is
concluded
over
all
our
Countries
;
and
therefore
the
Letter
that
we
have
sent
,
is
to
confirm
the
Peace
and
the
Treaty
that
we
have
made
with
you
;
for
we
desire
to
have
a
Trade
with
you
:
but
let
us
not
make
the
same
Terms
as
we
had
in
the
beginning
of
the
War
,
wherein
so
many
dyed
by
the
Sword
when
we
were
Enemies
,
but
let
our
Enemies
dye
.
We
have
slain
such
as
have
run
away
from
us
to
you
,
but
you
have
not
done
the
same
.
For
the
Second
Article
is
,
That
if
any
Renegado
shall
run
away
from
us
to
TANGIER
,
you
shall
be
obliged
to
send
him
back
again
.
And
for
your
security
in
this
Treaty
,
we
have
sent
unto
you
our
Servant
HERDV
for
the
management
of
it
;
and
our
joy
at
it
shall
be
like
the
thing
that
begins
to
grow
:
and
I
who
am
the
Tree
,
send
you
one
of
my
Branches
,
which
I
recommend
to
you
,
as
if
it
were
the
Tree
itself
;
and
we
have
strictly
charged
him
what
he
shall
say
to
you
.
Look
upon
him
as
yo
would
do
upon
my self
;
that
which
he
shall
do
,
shall
be
well
done
,
and
you
shall
value
it
as
a
thing
that
comes
from
Heaven
.
We
heartily
desire
you
to
write
to
us
.
Neither
our
Customs
or
Habits
are
like
yours
.
If
you
will
build
any
thing
on
our
Ground
,
we
will
pull
it
down
,
and
we
shall
do
our selves
right
.
We
have
amongst
us
some
Christians
that
understand
themselves
,
and
are
more
esteemed
than
our
own
Servants
;
they
have
Eagles
Eyes
,
but
hate
us
and
our
belief
,
and
therefore
are
a
Scandal
to
us
.
He
that
values
our
Honour
,
honoureth
God
.
And
because
it
is
our
desire
that
you
should
receive
something
from
us
,
we
have
sent
you
Thirty
Ostriches
out
of
the
Desert
;
and
we
expect
that
you
should
furnish
us
with
Six
Thousand
pieces
of
Eight
yearly
.
As
for
TANGIER
,
we
stand
in
no
manner
of
fear
of
it
:
and
after
the
Ratification
of
the
Peace
,
all
Hostility
betwixt
us
shall
cease
.

Son
of
the
beloved
KERIFF
