worthy and valiant souldiors in this ciuile conflict to draw those weapons against your fellowes and brethren which you haue most fortunatly vsed against the enemies of the Othoman kings except you meane thereby to make your selues a ioyfull spectacle vnto your enemies who grieuing to see themselues ouercome by your victorious weapons may yet reioice among themselues to see you turne the same one vpon another Wherefore my sonnes for your auntient honours sake be carefull that you doe not by this your insolencie lose the reputation of your wisedome loyaltie and valour for which you haue hitherto been aboue all others commended reserue these your weapons which you haue now too too much vsed amongst your fellowes against your enemies of whom you may get more praise and honour This speech of the old Bassa so mollified the stout souldiors that they freely permitted all that was in Mustaphaes tents to be carried to Solymans but as soone as the death of Mustapha was blowne into the eares of the Ianizaries and the rest of the armie in Solymans campe another tumult rise among them worse than the first They were quickly all vp in armes againe and with a great noise confused with teares and lamentation as they were in rage and furie brake violently into Solymans pauillion with their drawne swords which strucke the tyrant into such a feare that destitute of all counsell in himselfe he was about with the extreame perill of his life to haue fled but being holden of his friends and making a vertue of necessitie vpon the sudden aduentured to doe that which at better leisure he would scarcely haue thought vpon for going forth out of his tent but with a pale and wan countenance he spake vnto the enraged souldiors thus What broile is this what sturre what so great insolencie what meane your inflamed fierce and angrie lookes know you not your soueraigne and him that hath power to commaund you Haue you so resolued to s●aine the antient and inuincible honour of your selues and your ancestors with the bloud of your lord and emperour Whilest he was yet thus speaking the souldiors boldly answered That they denied not but that he was the man whom they many yeares before had chosen for their emperour but in that they had by their owne valour got for him a large and mightie empire and in like manner preserued it that was therefore of them done that he should for the same gouerne them vertuously and justly and not to lay his bloudie hands without discretion vpon euerie just man and most wickedly embrue himselfe with innocent bloud and that they came thither armed they did it as they said moued with just cause to reuenge the vnworthie death of guiltlesse Mustapha and that for that matter he had no just cause to be angrie with them Wherefore they required that they might publikely cleere themselues of the treason whereof they were accused by Mustaphaes enemies and that the accuser might be brought forth to justifie his accusation protesting that they would neuer lay downe their weapons vntill the accuser made his appearance in judgement and commenced his accusation judicially vpon paine to endure the like punishment if he failed in proofe Whilest these things were in doing the hainousnesse of the late committed fact caused euerie man to shed teares so that Solyman himselfe seemed to be sorie for the murther so lately by himselfe committed wherfore he promised vnto the souldiors whatsoeuer they required and did what he could to appease their angrie minds For all that they in the meane time least he should craftily slip away and deceiue them of that he had promised and of the expectation of such things as they had required witha maruellous care and diligence all kept watch and ward Solyman to appease this furie of the Ianizaries depriued Rustan Bassa of all his honours and tooke from him his seale whereof he had the keeping and deliuered it to Achomates bassa But Rustan worthely strucken with feare and horrour seeing himselfe now in no safetie in his owne tents fled secretly to Achomates asking his counsell what were best for him to doe and what course to take in so doubtfull and dangerous a case To whom the Bassa answered That it were best for him to vse the great emperours aduise and to doe what he commaunded Which answere well satisfied Rustan and so he which of late gaue other men accesse vnto the emperour at his pleasure was now glad by his old acquaintance and friends to preferre this poore sute To know his pleasure what he would haue him to doe From whom he receiued this answere That he should incontinently without farther delay get him out of his sight and out of the campe which the Bassa said he could not conueniently doe being by his displeasure and the souldiors rage disfurnished of all things necessarie for his departure Whereunto Solyman sent him answere againe That he could giue him neither longer time nor delay and that it were best for him without more adoe to be gone for feare of farther harme Whereupon Rustan guiltie in conscience of most horrible villanie treacherie accompanied but with eight of his most faithfull friends in steed of his late world of followers posted in hast to CONSTANTINOPLE and there not without danger of his head with Roxolana and other the complices and contriuers of the treason against Mustapha in great feare expected the euent of his fortune This young prince Mustapha thus shamefully murthered by his owne father was for his rare vertues generally beloued of the Turkes but of the souldiors most for his martiall disposition and readinesse for the effusion of Christian bloud The opinion they had conceiued of him was such and their loue so great that they neuer thought there was any in the Othoman family of whom they expected so much for the enlarging of their empire insomuch that euer since when in their priuat or publike actions they faile of any great hope they vse this prouerb euen at this day taken frō him Gietti Sultan Mustapha Sultan Mustapha is dead as who should say our hope is all lost Achomates bassa the great champion of the Turks a man of exceeding courage not ignorant of the small assurance of the great honors of that state at such time as he receiued the seale from Solyman boldly told him That as he did then franckly bestow it vpon him so he would at one time or other to his no lesse disgrace take it from him to whom Solyman solemnly promised with an oath not to displace him so long as he liued For all that he had not long enjoyed that honour but that Solyman falling in dislike with him and willing againe to promote Rustan bassa to that great honour greater than which there is none in the Turkes court which by reason of his oath he could not doe so long as Achomates liued To saue his oath and to preferre his sonne in law whom he
