To the High and Mighty Prince GODEFROY MAURICE De la Tour d' Auvergne Sovereign Duke of Bouillon Duke d' Albret and Chasteau Thierry Count d' Auvergne Eureux Viscount Turenne Governour and Lieutenant for the King in High and Low Auvergne Peer and Great Chamberlain of France SIR THIS Book I look upon as a Present so far from worthy of your Highness that I cannot but charge my self with Presumption in the very Dedication of it But as the Work it self was written under your Roof and the Author of it had the honour at the same time to be generously obliged by your Highness As it is properly the Life of an Hero whom you your self have encountred with his Scimitar in his hand an Hero whose Victorious Course was then stopped by your assistance when our brave French gave that famous Defeat to the Grand Visier near the River Raab the place where you gave so many signal marks of that extraordinary Valour which is essential to the Character of your Illustrious Family and hereditary to all that bear your Name to whom Sir should I inscribe this Book but to your self either upon the point of glory or protection To sum up the number of your Ancestors whose great Actions fill the best pages of our History to present you with your Pedigree or the pourtraits of so many Princes who have made your very Name immortal to insist upon those that bear it now and by their own merit and the great Charges they possess are so considerable that in your Highness and your Brothers one may behold all that is high and exalted in France to say that in your Family those Dignities are at present united which never met in any Kings Reign before as the Office of Great Chamberlain Great Almoner of France and Colonel of the Light Horse I am not Sir now to learn that these are Truths would offend your Modesty and that it is peculiar to your House to reject all praises how just soever This is the reason that makes me sparing upon this subject and to content my self with this humble profession that I am with all respect and veneration as I ought to be SIR Your Highnesses most Humble and Obedient Servant De Chassepol To my GOVERNESS THere needs no more to declare to all the World who you are when I shall tell them that it is to the most Religious and vertuous the most discreet and the most charming of your Sex to speak less were to injure your Merits as well as my Iudgment to say more and name you were to undervalue the discernment of all who know what perfection is and where all the Graces which are scattered amongst other Ladies of Quality are assembled in one I made choice of this piece whilst I was lately at Paris to divert my Governess with because the Truth and Dignity of the Historical Part which you more affect may commute for the Trifles of the Romantick which you less regard and have rendered it English not because you are unacquainted with the Original who are Mistress of the most polished Languages but to give you some account of the instructions I acknowledge to have received from you how I should employ the less serious moments of my Time as well as the most studious and recollected I had but to imitate your example to pay at once my duty to God my self and all the world This is the express Character of my Governess the account her Pupil thinks fit to give of his attempt and of the veneration he bears Philothea THE HISTORY of the Grand VISIERS The First Book History of Sultan Amurath the Fourth AMurath the Fourth of that name Emperor of the Turks had no sooner put an end to the differences that were between him and Vladislaus the great King of Poland but he immediately resolved to execute his long intended design of recovering the City of Babylon vulgarly called Bagdet Pekier Bassa the better to shelter himself from Amurath had delivered it to the King of Persia. The importance of this enterprise was such as made the Sultan think his own presence necessary to accomplish it Therefore to reestablish that glory which his Arms had lost under the Conduct of his Generals he took the field at the head of three hundred thousand men with such expedition that he prevented the Sophy and forced him to retire after he had fortified some places which were not before in a condition to make any resistance Tauris was the first place that presumed to withstand the Sultan and it was so vigorously defended that it provok'd him after he had taken it to rase it and plough up its very Foundations thereby to strike terror into other places which he designed to attack from thence he march'd to Revan where the Governor brought him the Keys and came over to his side Being thus possessed of this place he turned all his Forces against Babylon which he besieged and plied so furiously that at two and fifty days end he carried it after four of the bloudiest Assaults that were ever made The Pillage of it he bestowed on his Souldiers commanding them to put all to the Sword without regard of Age or Sex Not satisfied with this advantage he extended his Conquests over divers Provinces wasting all the Country through which he past and nothing being able to satiate his desire of revenge but the defeat of the Sophy he staid not to attend his coming but advanc'd to find him out and offer him Battle which the Persian Monarch thought not fit to hazard against the Victorious Ottoman but retreated to the remotest Mountains of his Empire from whence the Grand Signior seeing he could not draw him by open force he resolved to send him a challenge by which he let him know that setting apart the consideration of those great advantages he might certainly promise himself from so powerful an Army which was sufficient to subdue all Persia he was ready by a private Combate to terminate their antient quarrel and the War which had so long ingaged both Nations The Sophy to free himself from the Obligation of answering it made as if he had not received this challenge and dispatched a Cham or Persian Prince to make overtures of Peace to Amurath Who perceiving his Troops to be much harrassed to give them some repose consented to interrupt the course of his Victories and hearkned to the Propositions of the Sophy leaving his Grand Visier behind him to conclude the Peace whilest he himself retired to Damas where till the season was fit to return into
