Chawse and in good account with the Viceer yea one of his sisters as he told me himselfe was taken prisoner comming as a Pilgrime to Ierusalem and so brought to Constantinople but whether reserued for the Turkes vse or some Bashaw he could not tell In the meane while Sir Thomas Glouer is recalled into England and Master Paul Pindar who had been Consull at Petrasse and Aleppo as many yeeres commorant in those parts was confirmed his Maiesties Embassadour in Constantinople in whose time the former Gasparo Gratiano returnes againe to the great Citty and was imployed into Moldauia by the Viceer either as an ouerseer of the actions of that Prouince or as a new aduersary to the vnfortunate Prince his Master who at last was there mischieuously poysoned amongst them or as some will haue it absolute gouernour till the true titles might appeare and the controuersies be determined How he behaued himselfe I will not dispute not constantly maintaine that he dealt treacherously with the King of Poland certifying vnder hand that contrary to the peace contracted with the Grand signieur he supported the pirats of the black Sea and the inhabitants of Bugdonia the intestine broyles of Moldauia the incursions of many Cossacks whereby the Turke was then much exasperated against Poland and a manifest cloud of mischiefe hung ouer all those Countries apparantly But this I am sure of that his Maiesties Embassador of Poland Leigier at Constantinople had neither so gracious audience as he was wont not such security as the priuiledges of Embassadors presumed on For presently the Grand signieur exclaymed against them all in fury and displeasure and when there was forcible intimation indeed concerning the busines of Moldauia and the many clayme 's to the Principality by factious Lords he not onely gaue commaundement to ouer-runne that Countrey but to teach Poland it selfe a new lesson of obedience that durst be auxiliary to a petty Prouince against so mighty a Monarke and greatest Prince in the world nor ended it thus in a kinde of slender inuectiue but the threatnings had tearmes of ostentation besides the exprobrating their perfidiousnesse yea the letters had wonderfull titles and far-fetcht denominations the Embassies mixture of profanenesse and presumption of ouer-running Europe and all this was done in the life of Achmate though for the time the whole frame of this conceiued displeasure proued a Babylonish Tovver and ended onely in confusion of Languages For as yet more then the customary breaking out of the Cossacks of Bogdonia and the territories about the blacke Sea there vvas no mayne Army on foote but onely certaine preparatiues to a follovving warre For as if hee would leaue his rage hereditary he commanded the principall Mufti and Doctors of the Law to remember this charge to his Sonne and put him in minde of the prosecution which accordingly vvith filiall obedience he performed indeed and brought out the furies of his vengeance to act that part which they haue now played in those Countries But because many remarkeable things happened in the death of Achmate before this young Phaeton came to guide and manage the Horses of this Monarchies Chariot giue mee leaue to insist a little vpon them and modell out this relation to some forme of pleasure and contentment Achmate comming to the Empire at 15. yeeres old remained in the same till he was almost thirty in which time pleasure surfetted on ease and ease had such changes of wantonnesse that hee seemed weary with the continuance of delight for Sardanapalus came short of him for abundāce of Concubines and variety of luxurie so that if it bee true that Voluptates commendat rarior vsus it must needs follow that to play thus continually proued as tedious to him as to worke and to gurmandize thus without cessation must needs raise rather a lothsomenesse then satisfaction In briefe he had so many wiues children that in a maner he forgot the the glory of his Family the prosecution of glorious enterprises giuing himselfe ouer to the Syrens incantation of Lust and lasciuiousnesse in the heate of which outrage he determined to kill his brother Mustapha a Prince of great expectation whom as yet some supernaturall prouidence had preserued from death But now to colour his pretences such was the law such was the custome nay such was the necessity of preseruation that as Nature teacheth all creatures the way of security so had Policy instructed these Princes by this one Machiaueliā trick to preuent mischiefes insurrections factions competitions murthers and all such affrightings that make Princes vnhappy if they be once put in feare indeed This made Damocles that he could eate no meate when hee saw the sword ready to fall vpon him that hung ouer his head by a horse haire This made the Emperour tell his flatterer that if he knew what cares were the Companions of his Crowne he would not take it vp though it lay in his way as a donation of Fortune This made Dionysius trust none but his daughter to burne off his haire with nutshels and this made Achmate to continue the custome of his Progenitors by remouing all the causes of terrour and suspition though the life of his brethren payed for it But what sayes the Poet Multa cadunt inter calicem supremáque labra So as this iolly Prince was running away with the apprehension of his happinesse setting downe a determinate houre for the strangling of Prince Mustapha his brother the night before the period of his Catastrophe a fearfull Vision diuerted him from the enterprise and a fearfull voyce ecchoed in his eares that there could bee no Religion in murther and those sacrifices which the Tyrants made in former times of blood and humane flesh were the causes of the ruine and deuastation of their Monarchies yea vtter losse of body and soule to the Princes themselues Little thought the great Turke to haue found a greater Greatnesse in his sleepe and lesse did hee suspect that there was such a God aboue to countermand the gods on the earth But so predominant was his ouer-ruling Genius at this time and so tractable his obedience that the very ●ext day hee sent for the principall Mufty some Doctors of the Law and Scander Bashaw who was delegated Generall against the Polonians To whom hee imparted the apparition and of whom hee receiued something sortable to the flattering of Princes but altogether vnseasonable because his soule was touched with some rough hands he wisely considered there was more to bee looked after then a present greatnesse or flourishing tyranny whereupon euen in their presence he sends for his brother dischargeth his Mutes who were the officers of death alloweth him a Gard of Capogies appoynteth him a Caska or Banqueting-house by himselfe and at last preuaileth thus with his owne great heart that he venteth out these speeches Brother arise for you must know that all men comming to tractate with the Emperour vse a kind of slauish prostitution till
