FORCET 1645. IBRAHIM the Sonne of the most famous and most renouned of the Emperours Son of GOD Emperor of the Turks of Greece Macedonia and Moldavia King in Samaria Anglian and of the Great and little Egypt King of all the Inhabitants of the Earth and of the earthly Paradice a Consecrated Prince preserver of the Cities of Hungaria Provost of the earthly Paradice Keeper of the Sepulcher of thy God Lord of all

of all the wicked the joy of the flourishing Tree Provost and Keeper of thy Crucified God The Lord and hopes of the Pagans LET Our Greeting be given to the Prince of Transilvania if thou doest desire it if thou art our friend and of our Magistrate also unto whom we have given great Power Thou hast a while since violated and persecuted Our friendship though we have given thee no cause thereof neither by Warre nor by Battell So that thou hast taken a secret counsell with other Kings and thy Counsellors to free thee from our Power in which thou hast done indiscreetly And therefore Thou and thy people ought to feare must expect nothing else but death which thou hast prepared unto thy selfe For I tell thee that I will get a victory upon thee pursue thee from the East to the West and I will make my Majestie knovvn as fart as the end of the World My designes shall be manifested unto thee to thy owne ill fortune Which I let thee know and I will have thee to acknowledge my great Power

against thee Jbrahim Hottoman Trapetan THese words ought to make us tremble no not tremble but encourage us not encourage us but provoke our just wrath to avenge the outrage and injury done to God and his Son Iesus Christ our Saviour by that Barbarian who scornes Christs power and seemes to challenge him to a comb●te Shall we not be stirred through the example of our Predecessours That Gyant that Goliah is already at the gates of Transilvania to passe from thence into Hungaria He is in person and hath sent his Army out of Andrinopolis to thunder upon his neighbours What hopes can Germany have when hee hath conquered those Countries And who doubteth but that hee will fall upon us if Germany be once reduced under his power But one may say that he hath great and vaste Countries to gaine before he can come so farre But shall we not take pitie of our brethren that are Christians Shall we be so base as to let that Infidel invade the Empire of the west as he hath done that of the East Shall our hearts be so frozen as not to bee kindled with the zeale of avenging the injurie done to the Divine Majestie of God Shall wee leave so shamfull a memory of us unto Posterity as that they may accuse us That wee were not able to keepe the deposite which our Ancestors had left us Let us then die like Christians Let us spend our lives for the defence of his cause that dyed for us God will direct our hands in the day of battell and will make our Armies to prosper So that one shall pursue ten ten an hundred an hundred a thousand and a thousand shall pursue ten thousand You may have read in my Exchange Intelligencer that the Grand Signor had a designe upon the Isle of Maltha but I have not as yet related unto you the occasion which had moved him to entertaine such a designe I will impart it unto you now There was a Russia Gentlewoman who did waite upon one of the Grand Signors Sultanesse of a rare beauty and of extraordinary parts He fell in love with the Gentlewoman and got a sonne by her The Sultaness grew Jealous for the extraordinary favours the Russia Gentlewoman did receive from the Grand Signor and above all the rest her owne Mistrisse So that they did all conspire against her life and did give her Poyson which being not strong enough could not make so soone an end of her as they did expect The Grand Signor took the Gentlewomans languishing sicknesse unto heart and was exceedingly grieved to see that her young Babe was in danger of his life as well as the Mother Hee therefore sent them in Pilgrigmage unto Mequa to his false Prophets Tombe both to be healed and the Child to be Circumcised there The Knights of Maltha mett with them upon the Sea whilest they were a going to Mahumets Sepulchre tooke and carried them both Prisoners into Maltha Whereupon the Grand Signor demanded Counsell of his Mufty or high Priests to know what hee was to doe in that businesse The Mufty who doe alwaies give his Counsels and Answers according as he knowes which way the Grand Signor is inclined Counselled him that since his Love and his Sonne were taken by the Maltesi in an Hostile way he was to set them at liberty by force of Armes We that are Christians doe use to pay a ransome for our brethren to redeem them from under the Turkish slavery FINIS
