The Second Book WHILE the Morlaques addicted to the Service of the Republique made frequent Incursions into the Enemies Territories in Dalmatia the Mainottes animated each other to shake off the Ottoman Yoke in the Morea and preserve their ancient Liberty of which shall speak in the following Book These Greeks took courage from the fame of the Venetian Conquests they drew together in a body and began to exercise their Hostilities with doubtful successes The Turks sent some Forces from Braccio di Maina to bring them to their Duty who soon overtook attack'd and routed them and continued the pursuit of them being seconded by other Forces led on by a certain Bacha But the Greeks back'd by unexpected Succours and the presence of Signior Delfino rally'd and charg'd with so much vigour that of 3500. Infidels there escaped but 140. and of 130. men out of a Company of Athenians all but two suffered the same fate The deep resentment the Greeks had of the Massacre of Abbot Giona whom the Infidels took in a Monastery situate near the Gulf of Preveza and afterwards publickly empal'd fomented their Revolt and engag'd them so far that they breath'd nothing but Revenge and declar'd themselves open Enemies of the Port. About this time the Heydukes and the Inhabitants of Montenegro came to blows with the Turks and several were kill'd and wounded on both sides after that the Morlaques made an Incursion and advanc'd towards Sing and carried off store of Cattel and some Prisoners amongst whom one call'd Papursinovich Aga offer'd upon the Field Five thousand Crowns and seven Horses of great value for his Ransom The Turks after this Rencounter retired to Clin. The Bacha that commanded them sent the noble Venetian Gabriel Lombardo who was there made Prisoner to the Port as a Mark of the advantage he pretended to have had over the Venetians In the mean time General Paulo Michiel having drawn up a thousand Horse and some Foot put himself at the head of three thousand Morlaques that were joyn'd in a Body under their Leader These Forces made Incursions into the Country to curb the Turks In effect the Bacha of Bossine who was march'd towards Hungary was oblig'd to turn back towards Clin with seven thousand men under his command Signior Michiel encamp'd his men in such order upon the Frontiers of Dalmatia that he was still in a posture of defence which Precaution gave the People of those parts a favourable opportunity of gathering in their Harvest with safety and encourag'd the Morlaques to make Incursions in Parties and ransack the Turkish Territories In the mean time the Fuists of Dulcigno took Sixty Fishermen near Curzole and four Galleys of Malta sailing towards the Naval Army commanded by Generalissimo Morosini met on their way a man of War of Tripoli which after an obstinate Fight they took and made three hundred Turks Prisoners and releas'd many Christians from Slavery Though the Venetians and Morlaques thwarted all the attempts of the Infidels in Dalmatia yet they drew up in the beginning of June to the number
