and my Lord spake My Lord you seem to be unsatisfied in this businesse Look behind I have all the Merchants my witnesses and all the Merchants of Aleppo Alexandria and all the Coasts of Turky I have ships at Smyrna Laden for this Port and divers more ready to come out Let Sir Sackvile Crow shew me two Merchants and halfe a ship and I will yield him the place The Vizeere riseth to be gone but my Lord spake on I hope my Lord if I be an Ambassadour as you say and having brought you a Present as befits you you will not deny me the Honour due to me in Vesting me With this he turned away and answered not a word in an uncivill clownish way which when my Lord saw he was moved with passion and with a great stamp upon the ground said Never Ambassadour was so basely used as I am which the great men sitting by observing his anger were something amazed and inquired what hee said which was told them This was his first entertainment which as we are certainly informed since was procured by five bags of money given him by the Venetians that day to hinder his Lordships Vesting When he came away he commanded all his Drugermen that none should attend any more his Court for he had one with him The next day about 9. of the clock came two Chouzes to my Lord to tell him from the Vizeere that the Ambassadour Crow would be there and he would have my Lord meet him no replyed my Lord tell your Lord I will not meet him nor come at his house any more he hath used me unworthily and basely and so tell him from me What replyed the Chouzes will you not come no more at his house let not my Lord say so the Vizeere is a great man Vicegerent to the Grand Signeur and wee dare not carry him such a sleighting Message A great man And so am I a great man too said my Lord If he be Vicegerent to the Grand Signeur tell him that I am Ambassadour to the King of England Then they desired my Lord that some of his own men might carry that Message for they would not t is no matter said my Lord I will make his usage of me ring all Constantinople over before 24. houres come about and indeed my Lord had provided Arres to send about to declare his usage of him Now was Sir Sackvile Crow with the Vizeere expecting to be vested as he had bragged the day before but how or what part of this message they delivered I know not but Sir Sackvile Crow after he had rayled upon my Lord before the Vizeere and called him furfant came home no wiser then hee went and the next morning the Vizeere sent three Chouzes one a man of great qualitie and had been foure times Ambassadour with forraigne Princes remembred his kind love to my Lord and sent him word that he had sent him a man of honour that should goe with him to Sir Sackvile Crow and see him deliver his Letters and he would soon make an end of the businesse This civill respectfull Messenger and Message pleased my Lord again so that he accepted this as a favour and the rather it pleased him because he should crosse Sir Sackvile Crowes humour for not above an houre before they came he sent to him to tell him he would come to him if he were at home to deliver him Letters from the King at first hee lovingly sent my Lord word that his dores were as well open to his foes as to his friends but presently sends word again upon better consideration that if my Lord would come privately he might but as a publike minister he would not receive him but afront him those Chouzes he sent to deliver the Message to Sir Sackvile Crow from the Vizeere and withall that he was ready Sir Sackvile Crow said he would not receive him but shut the dores against him such a horror did this Letter of revocation strike into him but they returning with that passage to the Vizeere hee seemed so incensed that he commanded them to take three more to them and to command him to let my Lord deliver his Letters and bring him word what his answer was then his stout heart was fain to stoope and my Lord having such warning because he would he sure not to goe privately got us and all his attendance after him who when they came into the room after him they that knew him formerly said that he was much daunted then my Lord saluted him by the name of my Lord he replyed Sir you are welcome The King my Master said my Lord commanded mee to deliver you this Letter then they both sate down and Sir Sackvile Crow looking upon the Company said you have a great many witnesses here my Lord told him yes the better for him if his Cause were good he did not love to do things in corners then he took the Letter smiled and sometimes winked upon his own people when presently he called the French Ambassadours Secretarie to beare witnesse what passed what have wee to doe said my Lord with the French Ambassadours Secretary yes said he the French Ambassadour hath to doe in this businesse how said my Lord hath any to doe with the English here besides you and I that will be seen hereafter then he pawsed a while and straight asked my Lord if the King delivered this Letter to him with his own hand my Lord told him no marke this said he to the Frenchman Sir said my Lord my words are true I said his Majestie commanded me by a Letter of his to deliver you this What logick make you of this now then he asked my Lord when he saw the King but my Lord desired he would excuse him saying Excuse me Sir I am not bound to give you an answer then he asked him where his Commission was he told him it was at his house he demanded to see it my Lord told him it concerned himselfe only and not him and if I act contrary said my Lord to my Commission I must answer it and not you here is my Commission saith he and I charge you in the Kings name to shew me yours your Cōmmission sayd my Lord hath no power to examine mine I have Cōmission to give you this Letter not my Commission Here was some pawse of speech which when the Chouzes saw and that he would not open his Letter they stood up and required him to open it then he did and told them he would answer the Letter to the King and send his mind in writing to the Vizeere which hee did the next day and this it was as the Vizeere sent my Lord word by his Druggerman That those Merchants were Rebels and that my Lord was the head of them and other words as if the King were forced to write those letters His Lordship having delivered his Letters according to the Kings command tooke his leave very fairly of him and he of
