fearing the threatnings and displeasures of the Emperour dranke pâ—ysâ—n and so dispatched himselfe béeing iust foure score yeeres of age This is that Mustapha who tooke Cipres from the Venitians in our daies and killed Bragatinus the Gouernour of Famagusta pulled the skinne off his bodye which thing he did contrary to his promise He also what time as Beglerbegus was in Egypt pacified the commotions and tumults which were in Syria Hée subdued the Arabians which had rebelled Hee ouercame in Battail Baiazetes the sonne of Solymannus who though his Father was liuing made an insurrection against his Brother Selymus and thus he persecuted him by the commaundement of the Emperour on such sort that the wretched caytife lost bothe his life and the kingdome And thus much we haue heard of Mustapha Now I will declare bréefely what I haue hearde of other matters woorthy of remembrance The 12. of the Callendes of Iune when the Admirall of the Sea departed hence whose name was Ochiali he went into Africa that he might stay and represse the seditions which were in the kingdome of Tunes The Moores after they had receiued their king who was the lawfull inheritour by the meanes of the inhabitants of Malta and who had béene hetherto detayned in Niapolis and in my time he reiected the superstition of Mahumet and imbrased the religion of Christ The Moores I say for the most part rebelled against the Turkes After that hee had pacified the sturres and vproares of the kingdome of Tunes it was in his commission that he shold inuade the kingdome of Fees the which thing if he bring to passe as he is purposed it seemeth that the Christian kingdomes shalbe inuironed on euery side with the Turkish Armies This is a matter more detestable that the Princes of the christian common wealth are the causes of so much misery whiles some of them be in such seenritie and so carelesse that they lye as it were buryed in pleasures and idlenes othersome are occupyed in Ciuill wars vnto their vtter destruction and confusion neither doo they consider what the common enemie is aboute or what should be doone or prepared against him Of the peace concluded betweene King Phillip and the Turke ABout the Callends of May Iohn Marilian of Mellan after he had obtayned héere of the Emperour truce for three yeeres departed hence to Venis and from thence to goe into Spayne He was héere three yéeres intreating for peace and nowe at the length obtayned it but on such sorte that neither Christian nor Turke thinketh it to continue for both of them applyed themselues to the time rather then that eyther of them desired any freendshippe of the other For the Turkes are occupyed in the warres against the Persians and the Spanyardes in Ciuill warres Moreouer the conditions of the truce are such that whethersoeuer of them liketh may breake of without impeachment It is to be lamented that this most mighty king is of force to resist the violence of the Turke and will not which thing he will not doo because he may more safely inuade his owne people and so suffer the great Turke to rage at his pleasure and notwithstanding intreated for peace and obteyned an vncertaine truce doubtfull and not to be trusted Bothe the publike and priuate state of Christians beginneth so to fainte and to decline and as it were to were so sore sicke that it is a manifest signe and argument of some notable and suddaine mutation chaunge Many Christians euery day séeing the prosperous successe of the Turkes and hauing their felicity and proceeding in admiration and contrariwyse perseuing the miseryes of the Christians beginne to reuolts and receiue the irreligious impietie of Mahumet denying Christes Religion Among whom there were of late three Italian Fryers or Munckes of the which two of them beeing apprehended by the fraude and malicious deuises of the Spanyardes and Italians dyed myserably The thyrd for as much as he was an expert famous and eloquent Preacher he gaue himselfe ouer to the blasphemies of Mahumet and became a Turke I omitte these thinges because I knowe that they are gréeuous vnto you and lamentable vnto whom I wish bothe eternall and temporall felicity Let thys be in steade of a conclusion Certaine other newes of the warres betweene the Turkes the Persians dated the 9. of Iuly following after the former Letters SInan Basse of whome wee made mention before returned out of the Campe which was against the persians to Constantinople the 6. day of August as he was returning there mette him at Choalcedon foure Gallies with principall Captaines called Baslaes The next day after his returne he declared the conclusion of peace betwéene the Turkes and the Persians and truce for one yéere with the singuler contentment of the Emperour The same Sinan Basse brought with him to Constantinople tenne of the chéefe of the Georgians as pledges least that they should inline at any time to the Persians and alwaies heereafter be subiectes to y e Turks The Ambassadour of the former king of Fees was ready euerie day to depart and very well content that the Turke was about to call home againe Ochialus who was sent to ayde the newe king after that he vnderstood the newe King of Fees to haue yéelded vp to the King of Spaine the Hauen called Larcaca ouer against the Cittie Arzilla the which Hauen is now kept and defended with a garrison of 600. Souldiers There were Letters sent to Venis from Constantinople the 19. of August and deliuered the 15 of September that there was truce taken betweene the Persians and the Turkes There were Letters written from Constantinople the 13. of Nouember that there was a most noble and notable Ambassage of the king of Persia in the way to Constantinople and almoste there which signifieth vnto the Turke that if he would restore the Cittie Zerua and all Media according to the composition made with Sinan Bassa that then they woulde returne otherwise they woulde proceede They looked daily for the returne of Ochialus from Fees The 9. day of Marche is appointed for the circumcision of the Turkes sonne It is concluded at Constantinople with the Ambassadours of the king of Transyluania that he should adde to the olde tribute or pension foure thousande Ducketes more Of the Tarters bordering vppon the Emperour of Muscouia THe Region where the Crames dwell enuironeth on the Southside the kingdome of Mosche The King of these Tarters is the vassaile of the Turkish Emperour and paieth Tribute to him Hee when he prepareth himselfe to warre cannot make of fighting Souldiers méete for those affaires aboue 40000. in hys Armie There lyeth a wildernes very large of the Circassians betwéene the lymmettes and borders of this king of Tartaria and of the Empire of Muscouia Sauage and vntylled voyde of men without buildings or woodes there appeareth nothing in it saue onely the earth grasse and the beauty of the Heauens

Duckets héere vpon it is manifest that both Turks and Persians were desirous of peace neuerthelesse neither of them woulde seeme to giue place to the other Sinan Bassa is looked for heere euery day whom they say shall haue commission from the Emperor to conclude peace with the Persians Some say that hee was called backe againe as he was in his iourney towards Constantinople because that the Persians with whom hee had made truce had broken theyr promise and because that they made a great slaughter of the Tuâ—kes besides the Sea called Mare hyrcanum who thought nothing lesse then that the Persians would haue transgressed the truce which they made with Sinan Bassa â—ut I dare not asfirme these of a trueth because it is as yet vncertaine The cause why these two people of one â—iuing and of one superstition doo fight so cruelly one with the other is this for so they report The Turks accuse the Persians that they haue neglected to send Ambassadors and rewardes to Amuratha the lawfull successor of Soliman nus and Selimus according to that couenaunt and composition which was made before time betwéene Soliman nus the Emperour of the Turkes and Thamus the king of the Persians Amurathes interpreted that intermission of sending rewards and Ambassadors as a contremp tious signe of enmity when it was neuer neglected in the time of Thamus and for this cause hee â—â—â—aded his enemies countrey neither would the Persianâ— requyre peace and therefore it came to hand strypes It is certainly beléeued that if Mustapha whom I said before was called from the Armie had remained still in the Armie the Turks should not haue come into that distresse in the which they are nowe at this day because he was most expart in marshal affayres and had the best knowledge of those Countryes He was therefore called home to Constantinople because hee was accused that hee did not admitt the Ambassadors of the Persians sent to intreate for peace and that hee sold all the offices in his Campe for money Mustapha for his good seruice was vncourteously rewarded wherfore he
himselfe properlie Likewise neither he willeth and God loueth onlie his owne workes but he willeth and loueth himselfe much more therefore the word and spirite goe foorth or proceede out of him euerlastinglie and these twaine with God are one God Wée beleeue that God hath builded the world by the word of his wisedome and of his power and by the spirit of his good will he foreséeth and gouerneth and mooueth euery nature to good according to the order of euery nature and for this cause we beléeue that when God will conuert men by his onely mercy from the deceit of deuils and worshipping of Idoles because in a little place of the Iewes in the which he was worshipped and beleeued to be one God according to the Lawe of Moses the rest of the whole worlde worshipped the creatures wickedly and many Gods because that they are none in the place of one and him true and euery man liued according to their sensuall apitites and not according to God then God restored man by his worde and by his holie spirite and therfore the worde of God put vppon him the nature of man that as man he might be conuersaunt with men and as the word of God and wisedome should teache men to beléeue in one true God and to leade their life according to that Lawe which he hath giuen and againe as a man that he might giue a reason of his life and example of his doctrine Hee fyrst kept the Lawe which he gaue vnto men as the word of God and power he might restore the moste comelie goodnes which he woulde For it coulde not bée that by the power of one man the whole worlde should bee conuerted to God and thus the omnipotent and inuisible God hath sowen the trueth by hys worde in Ierusalem By his spirite hee illuminated and confirmed his Apostles that they should sowe the trueth throughout the whole worlde and that they shoulde contemne death through the loue of God who had sent them and by the loue of the saluation of the world according to the ensample of Iesus who dyed willingly according to that which was of man that the world might be saued Thus we beleeue one God in Trinitie the Father sonne and holy spirite as our Lord Iesus hath taught vs and we beleeue that he is true because he is the trueth it selfe and his Disciples hath taught vs more at large thus we doo vnderstande of the power of his wisedome Wée beléeue that the word of God and man whom the that word of God put on and the life of Christ in his flesh was the life of man most holie but the wisedome of the power and workes of him was the power of God Wée beleeue that as the soule and bodie is one man so the word of God of one part and of y e other part The soule and the body are two distinct natures perfectly in one maÌ„ so is the humanitie and deitye in Christ two distinct natures knitte together according to Hypostases and personally neither is the word of God chaunged into flesh or into the soule of Christ neither is the flesh of Christ or his soule conuerted into the word of God but the word of God was and is in Christ the word of God by a meruailous disputation humanity humanitie and that the humanitie haue not taken the deitie of the worde of Christe but the deitie of the worde of God hath taken mans nature which consisteth in that for as much as it was taken Whatsoeuer thing is in God and of God naturally is God because there is nothing accidentall in God and therefore we name and beleeue the intellectuall worde of God to be God and because this worde of GOD was in Christe for that cause wee confesse Christe to bee God and man man because he consisteth of soule and body God because of the word of God which is in him we beleeue that the word of God is in Christ and in the world and in heauen and in God and in the Father wherefore the word of God is infinite as God is infinite begetting him that is as much to say thinking and hath an infinite power But in God after one manner and in Christ after an other manner and in the world after another manner We beléeue that when God dooth communicate his goodnes and his grace to any creature neuerthelesse it goeth not from him but thereby he is more magnified because that the highnesse of God is made manifest by the vertue of his Creatures The more excellent that the Creatour is by greater communicating of his goodnesse so much the more the goodnesse of God and his loue towardes men and hys power is declared Wherefore the goodnes of God and his loue towardes men is more magnified in this point that God himselfe hath come into Iesus Christ with his omnipotentcie then that which he sent into his Prophets one of his graces or two and in some one Prophet a lesser grace and into some other a greater We beleeue that Christ was crucified and dyed of hys owne proper will for many and great profittes to the declaration whereof we should occupy many wordes and he hath suffered all these thinges according to that which was of man in him As for the word of God it is neither crucifyed neyther dyeth neither ryseth againe But he rayseth vp the deade as hee raiseth vp his owne fleshe which he bare We beleeue that Christ after his resurrection was assumpted vp into the heauens and shall come againe with glorye to iudge the quicke and the dead Wée beleeue that mens soules are immortall and that the bodyes of holy men shall ryse incorrupt cleere actiue neither shall they haue any neede of meate nor drinke nor apparrell nor any other corporall pleasures and that the soules and the bodies of them that haue beleeued and haue ledde theyr life vertuously shall goe into Paradise but the impenitent wicked and Infideles into punishment and that the Paradise of the Saintes and the fruicion thereof is in heauen the punishment of the wicked in the earth and that the fruition of the Saints is no thing els then that such soules shalbe persit in knowledge and shall beholde the misteries of God which they knowe not nowe but by faith onelie Wherefore it was necessarie that the word of God and God to be incarnate many other thinges are necessarie when necessity requireth we are ready to render a reason thereof after these reasons the seuen certifie vs of our Faith Moreouer the Prophets of the Iewes haue shewed before whom we receyue of this Iesus what soeuer hee hath doone or whatsoeuer haue béene doone and whatsoeuer his disciples haue doone by his power The like the Oracles of the Greekes haue foreshewed by the gift of God and the like did the Astronomers of the Persians and of the Grecians with the preaching of Iesus For all these of the which we haue made mention doo agrée and are consonant to the scripture in all thinges because that they which haue written them haue had alone Doctor or teacher euen the grace of God vnlesse it were so in something they would haue disagréed and haue béene dissonant Because they haue receiued such a fayth and relygion although newe and miraculous men with great diligence in eu 〈…〉 and with manifolde daungers as well pri 〈…〉 〈…〉 dent and wise and by this meanes the malicious deceite of deuils was ouerthrowne This faith and religion conteineth nothing impossible neither any thing that is dissonant with it selfe neither any corporall thing but all spirituall and it is the way which leadeth mens soules vnto the loue of God and of euerlasting life So many as haue receiued this faith and haue lyued bertuously according to the Lawe of Christ haue obtayned great gifts of God and haue doone many miracles which thin â—es could neuer haue come to passe if this faith had beene false and vntrue The Kinges which made war against this faith with great slaughter and punishment throughout the worlde many hundred yeeres notwithstanding that they had many Gods profited nothing but the faith had the victory and continueth vnto this day when the Lord shall come he shall finde it and vnlesse that this faith had beene by the will of God then had it beene easily ouerthrowne To the same Iesus our
