North of Alcazàr was in the Night visited by Ali accompanyed with about 70 Horse who came not with any shew of Hostility but with a pretence of Friendship declaring That his Errand was design'd to render himself Haiáshies Subject and to receive the continuance of his Cavíla from his hand Under this Cloak Haiáshi received him into his Tent and thereby gave him the opportunity of Murthering him which he effected with one Stab The Murtherer had his Accomplices ready to make his Escape which was the less difficult because Haiáshi had no Guards which he had declined either to save Charges or dissemble his confidence in the Moors who are best made faithful by being trusted but very vindictive when they find themselves suspected Ben-Boucar being ascertain'd by Ali of Haiáshies treacherous Slaughter in the Twelfth Year of his Revolt he incèssantly marcht to take Possession of his Country which he found ready at his Devotion either because the People were unprovided for Opposition or that they thought Ben-Boucar's Superiority was less obnoxious to exception then any other they could elect The Almócadens mindful of their accustomed method to preserve their Commands secretly one after another subscribed to Ben-Boucar's Regiment onely Fez and Alcazàr cost him some time and Blood in their Reduction But at last they yielded upon Articles Arzila having first shown them the way Ben-Boucar's next March was to Tituan govern'd by the Ancient and Worthy Family of the Narsis out of which he had received a Wife and by that Relation was welcome to the Supremacie of that City Ben-Boucar having brought this part of Barbary to his subjection resolved to return to Záwia But before he left the Country he took from the Grandees thereof the best Assurances he was able for their Obedience and Fidelity Next he disposed the Towns of greatest Importance to the Government of his Sons and Favorites To his eldest Son Abdalla he entrusted the Rule of Salla which he had observed proner to Sedition then the rest and yet much addicted to Persons famed for Piety for which Abdalla was arrived at a Saintship To his second Son Mahumed he committed the care of Fez to whom he saw the People thereof have a peculiar Inclination To his third Son Hamet Zéer or Hamet the less he gave the command of Shehàll a Mountain of rude Inhabitants yet much addicted to obey a fierce nature wherewith Hamet Zéer was furnished Arzila he left to Benzèir a Thing of his own framing And Alcazar to Cidi Benzían After this Partition he returned to his Religious Záwia where in great Peace he enjoyed the fruits of his War making the easiness of his Yoak an argument with the People to bear it But the memory of Haiáshi's treacherous Death compassed by Ben-Boucar was still fresh in the Brests of those Sons whose Fathers had their Fortunes thereby depress'd which Ben-Boucar as he could not but know so he could not but conclude That the vindictive Spirit of a Moor would take the first occasion of avenging In prevention whereof he took with him to Záwia such Sons as he saw were likeliest to inherit their Fathers hatred against him not as Hostages of Peace but as Pledges of his Care whom being as yet in their non-age he loved to Print with the Characters of a peaceable acquiescence in his Authority Among these Youths young Gaylan was most considerable and indeed the only Person that he detained whose Story now succeeds in which will be supplyed what is here wanting of Ben-Boucar In Beniworfut near to Arzila lived the Family of the Gaylans which was of that sort of Moors stiled Barabàrs and to which through flux of time the Government of that Cavíla was become Hereditary This House though never low or obscure began to be signally advanced in Ali Gaylan the Father which proved but a Prophesie of its downfall in El Hader the Son whose Ambitio● lost what the others Humility had obtained Ali was in great favor with Haiáshi and a chief Engine of his advancement in which he was observed not much to endeavor his own But his greatest Renown sprang from his Zeal for the Mahumetan Law an Artifice which seldom failes a knack with which whosoever is gifted cannot want Reverence among the Moors Arzila being much moved with his Sanctity invited him to a residence among them which they rewarded with considerable Rents and great Testimonies of respect This Ali Gaylan spent the last Scene of his Life with great satisfaction to Haiáshi's prosperity whom at his Death he left without any threatning Prognosticks of an alteration in his State But when he grew sensible of the near approaches of his end he called for his Beloved El Hader to whom he recommended the care of his Family Government of his Cavlla imitation of his Conversation and Faith to Haiáshi El Hader was too young for the undertaking all this when his Father dyed which caused the provident Parent to leave him to the careful Tuition of Hamet Benzían Almocadèn of Beni-Haròs with whom he remained till removed thence by Ben-Boucar after the reducement of Haiáshi About the xxiii of his Age this El Hader Ben Ali Gaylan was married to the Daughter of one Akadim a principal Man in Beniworfut upon which Marriage he had license to return home a Concession that proved very fatal to Ben-Boucar For El Hader being got to his own Territories where he received an affectionate wellcome there happened a Commotion in the populous Cavíla's of Saphean Sháwia and Homàr all Alarbes which denyed to pay Ben-Boucar the accustomed Rights were so far from an obedient tender thereof that they inhumanely murthered his two Brethren Abdelhálac and Missínievi whom he sent to demand them The news of this Insurrection quickly arrived El Hader who thereupon with some of the best Horse of his Cavíla instantly posted to Alcazar where according to Intelligence he met with Haiáshi's Murtherer whom with his own hand he killed in revenge of the Murther he had committed upon his Fathers Friend In whose death he pull'd down one of Ben-Boucars best Supporters in this Canton of his Dominion Next he speeded to Arzíla forsaken by Ben-Boucars Alcáyde who upon the tydings of Hamets death and the Alárbes revolt durst not trust himself among a People whom he saw zealously to favor his Masters Enemy Upon this Gaylan appeared at Arzíla which was very acceptable to his Fathers old Admirers who readily yielded him their utmost Assistances and were seconded with several of the adjacent Cavíla's Ben-Boucar coming to chastize the seditious Alárbes and to avenge his Brothers blood which he speedily dispatc'd his next care was to render Gaylan sensible of his Deportment who upon his advance took sanctuary in Arzíla where he lay immured till such time as necessity forced Ben-Boucar to withdraw his Levies Upon every such retreat Gaylan was still at his wonted disturbances and yet upon every return of the Enemy he betook himself to the protection of Arzila Out
