you I do likewise send Francis Alvarez to the Pope to yeild Obedience to him in my Name as it is just I should O Lord my Brother King attend and apply your self to the Friendship that was begun betwixt us by your Father and do not neglect to send Letters and Ambassadors to us frequently for I am extremely desirous to receive them from you as from my Brother And since we are both Christians and the Mahometans though Wicked are still in Peace with all of their own Sect it is fit it should be the same betwixt us And I do declare That for the future I will receive no Embassy from the King of Egypt nor from any of those Kingdoms which have formerly sent Ambassadors to us nor from no other King but only from your Highness from whom I do earnestly desire to have them come for the Mahometan Kings by reason of the difference that is betwixt us in Religion do never look upon me as their Friend and do only pretend to have a Kindness for me that they may Trade with the more conveniency and security within my Dominions from whence they draw great Profit exporting Yearly great Quantities of Gold whereof they are extremely Covetons while at the same time they have no real Friendship for me for which reason I take no pleasure in their Gain but this having been a Custom of my Ancestors was to be endured though after all the only thing that hinders me from making War upon them and Confounding them is the fear of provoking them thereby to violate and destroy the Temple of Jerusalem where the Sepulchre of Christ is which God hath been pleased to leave in the hands of those filthy Mahometans and to demolish the Churches that are in Egypt and Syria this is the only cause why I do not Invade and Conquer them which I am sorry I am not at liberty to do O King I can by no means rejoyce in the Christian Kings of Europe who as I am informed do not agree in one heart but are at War one with another be you all Unanimous and in Friendship one with another for my own part had I a Christian King in my Neighbourhood I would never be absent from him I do not know what to say of these matters nor what to do since God seems to have ordained things to be as they are My Lord let me have Ambassadors from you frequently for when I see your Letters I think I behold your face there being a greater Friendship betwixt those that live far asunder than betwixt Neighbours by reason of the stronger desire they have one for another for he that has hid his Treasure thinks the oftner of it and loves it the more for not seeing it according to what Christ saith in his Gospel Where your treasure is there will your hearts be also my heart is therefore with you because you are my Treasure and you ought also to make me your Treasure so as sincerely to joyn your Heart with ours O Lord and Brother observe this word for I am told you are very Wise and in Wisdom like your Father of which when I was informed I returned Thanks to God for it and throwing away Sorrow did put on Joy and said Blessed be the Son that is Wise and who has a great Head the Son of King Emanuel who sits upon the Throne of his Kingdoms Sir Have a care you do not grow weary since you are no less Valiant than your Father and do not discover your self to be Weak against the Mahometans and Gentiles whom with God's Assistance you may easily Conquer and have a care how you say The Forces left me by my Father are small for they are abundantly sufficient and God will always help you I have Men Gold and Provisions like the Sand of the Sea and the Stars of Heaven so that we two being United may with ease destroy the whole Barbarous Race of Mahometans I desire nothing of you but Experienced Officers to Discipline and Command my Soldiers O King thou art of a just Age whereas Solomon took the Government upon himself when he was but 12 years old and notwithstanding that had great Power and was wiser than his Father I also when Nau my Father died was but 11 years of Age and have notwithstanding that with God's assistance acquired more Power and Riches since I sate on the Throne of my Father than ever he had having conquered all the Neighbouring Nations and Kingdoms we have both cause therefore to thank God for so singular a benefit Hearken to me Brother and Lord for there is one thing I must request of you which is That you would send me some of your Learned Men as also some Artificers that understand how to make Images and how to Print Books and to make Swords and all sorts of Military Weapons with some Masons Carpenters and Physicians and Surgeons and some who skill to beat Gold and gild and how to work in Mines I would also have some that know how to cover Houses with Lead and to make Tile in a word all sorts of Artificers shall be welcom to me namely such as make Pistols Help me I beseech you to all these things as one Brother ought to help another and then God will help you out of your Troubles The Lord hear your Prayers and Petitions as he has received holy Sacrifices at all times namely the Sacrifices of Abel and of Noah when he was in the Ark and that of Abraham when he was in the Land of Madiam and of Isaac when he went from the Trench of the Oak and of Jacob in the House of Bethlem and that of Moses in Egypt and of Aaron in the Mount and of Joshua the Son of Nun in Galgala and of Gideon on the Rock of Sampson when he was in a dry and thirsty Land and of Samuel in Rama of the Prophets and of David in Naceea and of Solomon in the City of Gabeon and of Elias in Mount Carmel when he raised the Daughter of the Widow over the Pit to life and of Jehosaphet in Battail and of Manasses when he turned to God after having sinned and of Daniel in the Den of Lions and of the three Companions Sidrach Mesack and Abednego in the fiery Furnace and of Hannah before the Altar and of Nehemiah who together with Zerobabel built the Walls and of Matathias with his Sons on the fourth part of the Earth and of Esau upon the Blessed In the same manner may God receive your Sacrifices and Supplications and assist you and be on your side against all wickedness at all times Peace be with you I do embrace you with the Arms of Holiness as I do also your whole Council and all your Archbishops Bishops Priests and Deacons and all Men and Women the Grace of God and the Blessing of the Virgin Mary the Mother of God be with you and with all People Amen The Letter of David Emperor of Ethiopia to
