the Coast of Arabia as far as Aden that they might all be informed of the true Causes of this Accident and that the Jealousies caused by the King's death might be allayed 9. For the greater satisfaction of the publick Nuno ordered the Mahometans should have the free Exercise of their Religion and Laws and that the Constitutions made by Badur should be observed as if he were present All Pensions or Salaries allowed by him were continued Among many that resorted to reap the Benefit of this unexpected Liberality was a Moor of Bengala who by authentick Informations was found to be three hundred and twenty years of Age. He was seen long after as shall be said when we speak of his death or vanishing He had at this time two Sons one ninety the other twelve years old His Beard and Teeth had fallen and grown again four or five times To appearance he seemed about sixty years of Age. Of person indifferent rather little than tall neither fat nor very lean He said that being one day in his first Century looking to his Cattle on the Bank of a River there appeared to him a Man cloathed in Grey girt with a Cord with Wounds in his Hands and Feet praying him to carry him over upon his Shoulders And that having done it he told him That as a Reward for that Act of Charity he should continue in the same disposition of Body till he saw him again The Portugueses after this coming into India and he into one of their Churches and seeing the Image of S. Francis cryed out with surprize This is this is the Man I carried over the River so many years ago This was the cause why Badur maintained him and why now Nuno de Cuna continued his Allowance 10. Mir Mahomet Zaman descended from the Kings of Delhi who had reigned in Cambaya hearing the death of Badur went to visit the Queen Mother at Novanaguer She fearing he came to rob her would not see him Zaman had no such intention then but came to offer her his Service and to revenge the death of the Son She thinking she was not secure there resolved to remove and he offended at her Contempt lay in wait for her with two thousand Horse and robbed her of all that was of Value which amounted to above two millions of Gold and gathering above five thousand Men was by them proclaimed King of Guzarate and with this Title entered Novanaguer Hence he sent to Nuno de Cuna acquainting him with the posture of his Affairs his Title to the Crown and desiring his Assistance in requital for which he offered the Portugueses all the Coast from Mangalor to Beth the Town of Damam as far as Baçaim the Royal Country-House of Novanaguer and other advantageous Conditions Nuno admitted them and caused him to be proclaimed King in the Mosque of Diu at the same time advising him to raise Forces and disperse the other Pretenders Zaman fearing the Advice was deceitful lay still and found the ill Consequence for the People set up Mahomet Nephew to the deceased and prepared to fall upon Zamam at Novanoguer but delayed the Execution because Cuna was so near At this time arrived five Ships from Portugal 11. The Governor being gone as the Princes of Guazarate desired the better to maintain Mahomets Title two of them marched towards Zamam with sixty thousand Men they corrupted most of his Officers He being sensible of it ordered his Friends to carry about them as much Gold and Jewels as they could to serve them in their flight Those who were corrupted did not fight the others did wonders particularly Zamam who fled to Omaum King of the Mogols of whom he received the Kingdom of Bengala The Conquerors called Antony de Silveyra Commander of Diu to an account for the King's death and being satisfied of the Causes proposed a Peace but refusing the Conditions granted by Zamam broke off Cuna hearing this News made ready to return to Diu dispatching the homeward bound trading Ships and sending Martin Alfonso de Sousa with forty Ships to guard the Coasts of Malabar 12. The greatest Enemies the Portugueses found in India were the Moors inhabiting from Chaul to C. Comori the space of 200 Leagues who had flocked hither in great numbers for the great Riches of the Sea in Pearls and vast Trade of all those Ports Pate Marcar a powerful Moor of Cochin offended that the Portugueses had taken some of his Vessels went over to Calicut the better to annoy them with the assistance of that King There he was furnished with above fifty Ships two thousand Men and four hundred Pieces of Cannon to go to the assistance of Madune Pandar against his Brother the King of Ceylon our Ally At Coulam he found a great Portuguese Ship lading with Pepper he beset her and after a sharp Engagement was forced to retire having killed the Captain of her Farther on he took a Ship and killed all that were in it Beyond C. Comori he destroyed a Town of the Christians Martin Alfonso hearing of this pursues and running up a River with only nineteen Barques offers him battel but he refused and got off It looked like a rashness to follow further so Martin returned to Cochin in order to set out again better provided 13. He set out with twenty three Vessels all to row and four hundred Men. At Beadala he met Pate Marcar careening in order to go over to Ceylon Pate seeing Alfonso gathered seven thousand Men and Alfonso with his four hundred resolved to fight him He ordered Gaspar de Lemos with seven Barges to stay till he gave the signal with a Cannon and then to come up with all the greatest noise he could to divert the Enemy on that side while he attacked them on the other A Piece being fired without order Lemos thinking it was the Signal came up and was killed with others before Martin Alfonso could relieve him At last he came and revenged the death of those killing above seven hundred of the Enemy and putting the rest to flight whereby he remained Master of the Sea and Field Thirty Portugueses were lost Among the Portugues Slaves here set at liberty was a Woman who was Mistress to one of them loaded with Chains who could not be prevailed upon by Threats nor Promises to renounce her Faith but with great Constancy much to be admired in such a Woman encouraged the Slaves to continue firm in the Faith in contempt of all Tortures The chief party of the Booty consisted of twenty three Barques four hundred Cannon fifteen hundred Musquets and many Prisoners This happened on the fifteenth of February Martin de Ayala was sent to the Governor in a Catur or Barge with fifteen Men who meeting near Chale a Galliot with two hundred Malabars fought them so long till both sides desisted through weariness Ayala being recovered found he had but four Men left alive and with them prosecuted his Voyage 14.

those of my own Country The Kingdom of Portugal was founded by Three Heroes HENRY ALFONSO and SANCHO most visibly adorned with a●… those Virtues which merit to erect Imperial Thrones and from them to Command many Kings many Princes and many Nations Their Successors began to decline The Dominion the same Distributer of Power was pleased to give them in Asia was also founded on Three as appears in the beginning of this Work They were DUARIE PACHECO D. FRANCISCO DE ALMEYDA and ALFONSO DE ALBUQUERQUE Scarce had they one Successor who did not manifestly decline or at least had a mixture of Valour and Timerousness of Moderation and Covetousness with that unhappy distinction that still the Timerousness and Avarice were most predominant No Living Creature puts away his Young Ones till they can shift for themselves So Almighty GOD when He erects Monarchies cherishes them with particular Care till they gather strength and then tho' He does not wholly abandon puts them into the hands of Men that they may perceive the difference between the Divine and Human Care Let an unbiassed Judgment here reflect upon the Exploits of the Portugueses in gaining this Asiatick Crown and it will appear that only PACHECO could have forged it with that fiery Heart which melted the Arms and Riches of the obstinate Zamori That only ALMEYDA could have filed and polished it by applying his own and his Son's Sword which brought it into form by humbling the Turkish Pride And that only the Great ALBUQUERQUE giving the finishing stroaks could have set in it the most Precious Jewels of Goa Malaca and Ormuz For they so far removed from their Country that they had not only lost sight but even the hopes and memory of it entring with a few indifferent Vessels and a most inconsiderable number of Men where scarce a Tree offered them a secure shade amidst Numerous and well Armed Squadrons and Castles and through showers of heavy Ball and poisoned Arrows by the force of their Swords opened deep Trenches raised high Walls and secured to themselves famous Cities and large Countries Let those who have since acted less having so good a ground to perform much more not take it ill if we say That the Bounds of our Dominions in India are almost reduced to what they were in the Beginning It is true some of the Successors a few among so many added something to the Foundation but it was an inconsiderable Copy of the Great Original It is also true others valiantly desended that ●…dation but it was an indispensable Duty Let not timerous Spirits call this a Rash Iudgment which the Brave will only style Unbiassed or say We endeavour to lessen the Merits of Hero's our only Design is to shew the Ways and Means the Giver of Crowns takes to frame and deliver them to Mortals and how far less capable they are to Maintain than He to Form them The Divine Providence gave a sufficient Demonstration hereof in the erecting this Empire and they no less in diminishing of it Hereof we have seen much already and shall see yet more yet not without singular Acts of Valour That it may be manifest the Cause of our Ruin is That the Souls are not always the same for the Hearts always are THE CONTENTS TOM I.

4000 Ducats for the King and Prince They set out in the beginning of February and being forced to water at the Island Del Cisne or The Swan they saw three Ships sunk at the mouth of a River Our Men landing found 2 leagues from the Shore 20 Hollanders guarding the Goods they had saved They made some opposition but being overcome Freyre carried them to his Pink with a great quantity of Clove Pepper Arms Ammunition and Provision then fired all that was left The Hollanders said They came from the Molucco Islands with a Pass from their Admiral Lawrence Ales. 11. Freyre coming into Port St. Lucas the two Jesuits came to him both sick affirming it was impossible to live there and that those who had been left with them were dead The Captain sent the King the Letters he had for him and a Present by his Nephew D Hierome's Servants The King in return sent 100 fat Oxen much Fowl Honey and 6 Slaves but would not come himself and it was found that his Son D. Andrew fell off from the Faith into Mahometanism The Sadio's and Fansayr●…'s are Mahometan Cafres and love the liberty of having many Wives The King was a Fansayr●… and now designed to destroy Freyre by Treachery The cause of this Change was a Chingala Slave to the Jesuits who running away from them perswaded the King the Portugueses would deprive him of his Kingdom and undertook to destroy them Many Cafres coming to the Shore to this purpose began a Fray giving F. Almeyda a cuff then Stones and Darts began to fly but our Bullets also flying some were killed and their Quarters hung upon the Trees for an Example and one of their Towns was burnt 12. Emanuel Freyre carried away with him the King's Nephew D. Hierome and a Brother of his taken in the Skirmish with the Cafres who was converted and died at Goa All the Jesuits agreed to desist from that Mission and depart with the Captain though he opposed them and came to Goa where the Viceroy not allowing their weak Excuses much condemned their remisness in that Affair 13. Towards the end of this Year arrived in India D. Iohn Coutinno Count de Redondo who was to succeed the Viceroy D. Hierome de Azevedo and of whom we shall next treat D. Hierome returned to Portugal in the same Ship that had carried the Count and no sooner anchored at Lisbon but he was made Prisoner and put into the Dungeon of the Castle He was disrespectfully treated after a long Imprisonment had a Hearing and then again was worse used The chief Crime laid to his Charge was not fighting the Hollanders 14. He was so rich at his entring upon the Government that Nunno de Cunna telling him after all his Misfortunes he was still worth 4 or 500000 Ducats he answered I am worth that in Cattle Notwithstanding all this Riches he died poor in Prison and the King got nothing by it His Liberality was so great he gave the value of several thousand Ducats in one Present of Curiosities at Ceylon He was of the Ancient and Noble Family of Azevedo a Soldier of Valour and wise Commander and zealous Viceroy 15. But it is not amiss to observe that though this Gentleman could not justly Suffer for the Crimes laid to his Charge yet these his Misfortunes were a Judgment from the Hand of GOD for his extraordinary Cruelty In the height of his Success in C●…ylon he forced Mothers to cast their Children between Mill-stones and having seen them ground to Mash they were afterwards Be●…eaded 16. He caused the Soldiers to take up Children on the Points of their Pikes and hearing them cry bid them hark how those Cocks crowed Playing upon the likeness of the Names those People being called Gala's and Cocks in Portugues Galo's He caused many Men to be cast off the Bridge of M●…vana for the Souldiers to see the Crocodils devour them And those Creatures were so used to this Food that at a Whistle they would lift their Heads above Water 17. D. Hierome was of a middle Stature thick and swarthy his under Lip hanging and always moist a certain Token of Cruelty He was reduced to such Extremity in Prison that the Society of Iesus maintained and after his Death decently buried him He held the Government almost five Years and was one of them who best deserved it Of Viceroys he is the 22th of Governors the 42th the 1st of the Name and Sirname CHAP. XV. The Government of the Viceroy D. John Coutinno Count de Rodendo from the Year 1617 till 1619. 1. THis Year sailed from Lisbon D. Iohn Coutinno Count de Rodondo with sour Ships one whereof was forced back from the Line During his Government which lasted not two Years compleat there happened wonderful Prodigies Storms Dearths and other Judgments I will give an account of the most remarkable dividing that from what relates to his Government which shall be first spoke of 2. The War continued at Mangalor where Salvador Ribeyro Marinno commanded who being assisted by D. Iames Coutinno Commander in Chief of Malabar took the Field against 11000 Natives and destroyed many with the loss of 6 Men. The little King of that Banguel or District who was our Friend not able to maintain it against his Enemy Bentacanayque made it over to us to defend it Antony de Saldanna was left to command there afterwards D. Francis de Meneses de Bacaim was sent to his assistance with an allowance of 4000 Crowns for now the Wages were grown greater than the Employments The Men landing in disorder the Moors who lost no advantage slew some but the others forming themselves put them to flight For some time they were kept under by 300 Portugueses and 1000 Indians 3. Soon after another Skirmish happening with the Canara's the Plain was covered with the dead Bodies In August the Viceroy sent thither Francis de Miranda Enriquez with 8 sail and by the end of the same Month 4000 of the Enemy were slain with the loss of 800 Portugueses Miranda having taken a rich Ship of the Queen of Olala coming from Meca gave her occasion to assist our Enemy with a good Body of Men they besieged our Fort of Banguel burnt the Town and hereupon followed so sharp an Engagement that though many of the Enemy were slaughtered it was with such loss on our side we had no cause to rejoice Miranda thought to have taken the Fort of Olala by Storm but was repulsed The beginning of the next Year was more unfortunate for Bentacanayque with 12000 Canara's falling upon Luis de Brito Melo who carried Succors and D. Francis de Miranda killed them both with 180 Portugueses and above 60 Slaves The day after the News of this Disaster came to Goa there was found a Lampoon upon the Viceroy the Secretary the Surveyor of the Revenue and the Chancellor laying that and other Misfortunes to their Charge 4. It has been related how Ruy de Melo and

no Towns but wander with their Cattle like the Hords of Arabs some carry Stakes and Mats to make a sort of Tents they use no Tillage and offered our Men a Cake that seemed to be made of Meal of Roots mixed with Cow-Dung they eat Flesh but almost raw just shewed to the Fire which is made by rubbing Sticks together their choicest Food is the Guts and Tripes the Filth only squeezed out their Weapons are Darts and Bows no sign of Religion was discovered among them But it was observed that on Midsummer or St. Iohn Baptist's Day they appeared crowned with Garlands of sweet Herbs and Flowers 12. The Soil is fruitful free from Stones produces all sorts of Herbs Plants sweet Flowers and variety of Trees It is watered by great Rivers and many Springs The Spring begins in November Summer and Winter in these Parts as also in India are not caused by the Sun coming near or going from the Zenith as in Europe but by the Winds It is Winter when it rains and then the Sun is in his greatest Altitude when in his greatest Declination it rains not and then it is Summer Winter begins about the end of May when the West Wind reigns which brings great Rain and lasts till September during which time all Navigation ceases From September till May the North East Winds blow which keep a serene Sky and this is the Summer when all put to Sea Let us return to the description of that Country and our Men there 13. There is an infinite number of wild Beasts and those very large as Deer Wolves Sea-Horses Bufaloes wild Boars Monkeys Tigers and Elephants and some Rabbets not unlike our Ferrets They have abundance of wild Turkeys Geese Pigeons Turtles and Partridges which last build their Nests hanging on Branches of Trees Thus much of the People and Country about the Cape of Good Hope There lived our Shipwreck'd Portugueses and had erected a sort of Church where Mass was said and there were frequent Sermons five Priests being in that Company 14. The Ships being built in stead of Tar they made use of Benjamin and Frankincense and wanting Oyl to dissolve them supplied it with that of Sea-Wolves Before their departure they erected a Cross on the top of a Mountain with an Inscription signifying their Misfortune The Vessels were launched the Men and Goods shipped one Party designing for Portugal the other for India The former after some days fruitless labour were almost in the same place they set out from and in that condition were taken up by Antony de Sousa Carvallo in that Ship which as was before said afterwards perished 15. D. Nunno Alvarez Pereyra was Commander of Moçambique and died this Year D. Philipa Christian was Emperor of Monomotapa with whom we were in league A Cafre called Capranzirle rebelled against him who falling upon a Body of our Men as they marched to Tete slew 300 Portugueses the chief cause whereof was a Dispute between our Captains about Superiority All had been lost but for Christopher de Brito Vasconelos who put a stop to the Current of the Victorious Enemy Iames de Sousa Meneses commanded Moçambique at that time in the Place of Pereyra Soon after it was known the Cafre died of a Musket Shot he had received and a Brother of the Emperor but 13 Years of Age and a Christian baptized by the Dominicans by the Name of Dominick was proclaimed King 16. About the end of this Year a great Danish Ship entred the Port of Coulam Emanuel de Camara Noronna Admiral of the Canara Coast went to meet her with a Galley and eight other Vessels she fled he gave her chace and coming up after a sharp Dispute fired and then took her what remained of her was carried to Coulam 17. In April 1631 D. Blas de Castro who commanded 12 Sail at Negapatam took a Dutch Ship and soon after in a Storm lost half his Ships and about 100 Portugueses who got ashore were left in slavery The excessive Covetousness of the Portugueses keeping the Prices of Spice so high moved our European Enemies to seek it at a cheaper Rate in India and their Insolencies inclined the Indians to receive those Holland Rebels into their Ports Covetousness couched under the Pretence of Religion carried the Portugueses to conquer those remote Countries and the insatiable Avarice of some expels and makes them esteemed less than Rebels and Pyrats 18. Two Ships that sailed from Lisbon for India after five Months Voyage were put back into the same River having lost many Men by sickness In November sailed two Pinks The Viceroy desiring to recover Ormuz sent Dominick de Toral and Valdez a a Spaniard to view the Place and confer with Ruy Freyre then at Mascate about it but it came to nothing However a Fort was built at Iulfar a Fishery of Pearl 50 Leagues distant from Mascate 19. This Year our European Enemies ranging the Seas without any opposition took many of our Ships and ruined our Trade Besides they incensed the Indian Princes against us we having no body at those Courts to disappoint their Designs The Ruine of our Affairs proceeds from the little regard the great ones have for the lesser sort and the covetousness of the small ones which made them forget their Country and their Honour 20. The Portugueses dispersed in Ceylon since the defeat of D. Constantine gathering again considerably annoyed the Enemy Hence it appears our own Disorders are our Ruine The Portugueses can recover what is lost but know not how to preserve what they gain which is the most glorious part it being the Work of Fortune to gain and that of Prudence to preserve CHAP. IX Of the Affairs of Ethiopia during the Government of the Viceroy D. Michael de Noronna Count de Linnares 1. THis being the last time we shall treat of Ethiopia it will not be amiss to relate some farther Particulars of the Reception of the Patriarch D. Alfonso Mendez though somewhat has been already said concerning it He sailed from Goa on the 17th of November 1624 and at Chaul received a Letter from the Emperor Congratulating his arrival in India 2. All the way he travelled in Ethiopia he was entertained by the Governors and principal Men was met by the Sons of those Portugueses who went thither with D. Christopher de Gama to the assistance of the Emperor then Reigning and came to Fremona the chief Residence of Catholicks on the 21th of Iune 1625. The Emperor much rejoyced at the News of his arrival and sent two Men of great Quality to Conduct him but could not then see him being in the Field with his Army against certain Rebels On the 6th of February 1626 he was sent for by the Emperor to the Army The Prince accompanied by the Viceroys and Nobility went out to meet and conduct him through a Lane of 18000 Men to a Tent provided for his reception There he put on his Pontifical Robes and
