himselfe a most excellent horseman and cunning archer V●ually euery morning he visiteth his stables of great horses and according to an old custome of the Persian kings the souldiers of his court before mentioned doe receiue horses at his hands as he is in place and degree And these their horses are of singular vertue equall with those of the old time which as Strabo writeth were accustomed to be fed and brought vp in Armeniae for the kings vse They are wonderfull swift in course fierce in battell long breathed and very docible when they are vnsadled thy are gentle and milde but when they are armed they are warlike hardie and manageable euen at the pleasure of the rider And I haue seene of them sold for a thousand and somtimes a thousand and sixe hundred duckates a peece After he hath viewed his horses he passeth into his Armory certaine buildings neere vnto his Pallace where are made very strong Curiasses or Corselets headpeeces targets most of them able to keepe out the shot of an arquebusier and much more to daunt the force of a dart Heere also the king furnisheth his souldiers not only with Curiasses headpeeces and targets but with bowes and arrowes pouldrones and gantlets and with launces made of good ash armed at both ends with Scimatars shirts of maile most finely soundly tempered wherewith both themselues and their horses are defended in time of warre By this time hauing spent most of the forenoone he returneth againe into his pallace and there remains till three of the clocke in the afternoone at which time he makes his entry into the A●-Maidan which is the great market place or high streete of Hispaan round about this place are erected certaine high scaffolds where the multitude do sit to behold the warlike exercises performed by the King and his courtiers as their running and leaping their shooting with bowes and arrowes at a marke both aboue and beneath their playing at tennis all which they performe on horsebacke with diuers mo● too long to write of In this place also is to be seene seuerall times in the yeare the pleasant sight of fireworks of banquets of musickes of wrastlings and of whatsoeuer triumphes else is there to be shewed for the declaration of the ioy of this people Besides the King very often in this place in the presence of the Princes and Peeres of the Realme will giue iudgement in diuers causes much like vnto the ancient kings of France who vsed ordinarily to heare the complaints of their subiects but of late yeares the more the pitie they haue committed this businesse vnto the consciences of subordinate officers hearing by other mens eares and seeing by other mens eyes well nigh concerning all their affaires which course the Persian King holdeth neither good nor cōfortable for the people nor yet by any means to further Iustice. And certainly where such carelesnes doth enter into the maiesty of kings the estate of the Realme cannot chuse but be weakned the maiesty royal imbased so that in the end it might be shewed the people haue not refused to rise against the person of the king somtimes to murder him To be briefe in the execution of iustice he is very seuere a● well to the greatest as to the meanest not sparing as might be shewed to hang vp his chiefe Cuddi or Iudges when he shal perceiue how that vpon bribes fauour they delay the suits of his subiects against the cle●re manifest truth imitating herein Cambises who cōmanded Sisamnes●kin ●kin for giuing an vniust sentence to be flead off and couered the iudgement seat th●rewith appointing also his son to iudge in his place to the end that by sight thereof all other iudges might be warned to be iust and vpright And I haue seene him many times alight from his horse onely to doe iustice to a poore bodie Besides he punisheth theft manslaughter so seuerely that in an age a man shall not heare eyther of the one or of the other which kind of seuerity were very needfull for some parts of Christendome I will not say for England though we haue faulted therein but for France especially where within ten years sixe thousand gentlemen haue bene slaine as it appears by the kings pardons So that since king Abas came vnto the crowne ful twenty yeares vpwards the Persian Empire hath florished in sacred and redoubted laws the people demeaning themselues after the best manner they can aboundance of collections coming plentifully in the rents of his chamber were increased more then euer they were in his Grandfather Tamas his time armes artes and sciences doe wonderfully prosper and are very highly esteemed To this great Monarch came Sir Anthony Sherley Knight with sixe and twentie followers all gallantly mounted and richly furnished whose entert●inment was so great that the Persians did admire that the king should vouchsafe such high fauour to a meere stranger without desert or triall of his worth Of whose bounty the world may iudge since within three daies after his first arriuall the king sent him fortie horses furnished with saddles and very rich trappings foure of them fit for the proper vse of any Prince twelue Cammels for carriage together with sixe Mules foure and twentie carpets most of them rich and faire three tents or pauilions with all other necessaries of house and lastly sixe men laden with siluer Sundry times Sir Anthonie had audience of the king wherein he declared first with what perfidious dealing and with what greedinesse and pride the Turkish Emperours haue alwaies set vpon the Christians and that being discharged of the warre with them he would of all likelihood set vpon the Persians hauing the selfe same quarrell vnto the Persians that he hath vnto the Christians viz. an ardent and insatiable desire of soueraignty a sufficient motiue for the greedie Turke to repute euery king the richer that he is the more his enemie After that he set forth to the full the prowesse of the Christians the wonderfull preparation that they could make both at Sea and land perswading the king with all his power to inuade the Turke then altogether busied in the warres of Hungarie and to recouer againe such parts of his kingdome as his predecessors had lost Warres he said were more happily managed abroad then at home that since his maiestie alone is able to withstand the Turkes whole force and power he needed not now to doubt of the most prosperous successe the Christian Princes by his meanes ioyning with him He told the King further that he was much vnmindfull of his former losses and wrongs if he thought he ioyned an assured peace which he should finde to be nothing else but a deferring of one war vnto more cruel times and that the Turke if he should ouerrunne Hungary would forthwith turne his victorious armes vpon him and his kingdome the end of one warre as he said was but
