indeed tho an innovation in our Belief and Custom bore so much of Reason that it easily gain'd admittance with the wiser sort for domestick experience gave us some knowledge how inconvenient it would be in Heaven to have many commanders since our own Isle had suffer'd so much under Civil divisions by having more than one and at that time it had a great many from this new Prophet we have this Tradition of the Creation of the World which we knew nothing of before that God proceeding from himself for his own satisfaction and Glory Created certain Spirits call'd Angels in number thirty three

with a pair of scales in his hand weighs their good deeds against their bad if the good out-weigh the bad one hair of of the Eye lid he sends them to Heaven for 't is hard that a man should be condemn'd to punishment who in his life has done more good than harm but if their evil deeds be more ponderous he sends them to Hell The Rewards for their good Actions are divided into seven distinct Mansions of Heav'n and the Torments of Hell have the same number of divisions this Angel has the assistance of the 16th by name Rusuii to whose charge the scales are deliver'd and Mehur sits as Judge

the former the 33d is servant to Gabuel After God had created the Angels he employ'd them in the Creation of the Heavens which were finished in forty five Dayes After which a terrible Darkness appear'd 96000 Furlongs distant from God which when he perceived he considered with himself that some Enemy of his was produc'd and that he was very strong which prov'd to be the Devil Wherefore he commanded Aeudibehest Azer Shoroth and Rhy-Rhaam to Fight with him and bind and bring him prisoner The Divel was produc'd from himself and in imitation of God created Angels or Evil Spirits whose Names are 1 Gojusta-gonahmino-minedate servant to the Devil 2 Ashmogh 3 Kendorkha 4 Duria Atkoman These four Devils have command to make Wars Distractions Confusions and Enmities in the World The 5

hands and is very Terrible his Title is Melick Almud The King of Death The Devil having prepar'd this Army 't was time for God to look about him Whereas I have said he sent the four Angels to Fight him who after a sharp Battle took the great Devil Asemau prisoner and brought him to Heaven from whence he broke prison and run away Upon which another sharp War ensued wherein the Devil was brought to terms of extremity He desired Quarter and yielded himself up to the Mercy of the Conqueror Upon which God considered with himself That if he should utterly destroy the Devil and all his generation his own Glory and Mercy would not so evidently appear as it would if he suffered the Devils darkness and cruelty to have a being else that there could be no distinction between Good and Bad Vice and Vertue On these considerations God did not utterly destroy the Devil but suffered him to have a being in the world on this Account That whatsoever Good should fall out or be done in the world should be attributed to God and whatsoever Evil should be charged on the Devil Then as for the time of the continuance of the World and the Devil we hold that it was ordered by God the World from the first Creation should continue twelve thousand Years three thousand then being expired at the Conquest of the Devil and his Angels the remaining

above mine is a Noble Flame unmingled with Self-interest If my Words will not convince you of the truth of this my Death shall As I was going to proceed I was interrupted by the entrance of the Prince who had over-heard all that had now past betwixt us and observing that all this contest proceeded from her unwillingness to own her Love stopt me in the carrier of my Passion and with all the grave Authority of his Person and Speech assured her that what I said he durst be pledge I meant and that therefore she might believe me without so much unnecessary caution and by consequence as Generosity Gratitude and Justice required put an end to my sufferings by complying with my desires since without a favourable Answer he would certainly die which would bring too great a scandal on their Country to have the Cruelty of the Women perfect the Misery the Barbarity that the Men had began No let him live said she and stopt as ashamed of what she had said and directing the discourse to the Old Prince she thus replied But why Sir do you thus force me to discover my own weakness and confessing Love after so many resolutions I have made to the contrary You who ought to have propt my sinking Virtue Could it not suffice to have gathered it from my treacherous Eyes but that he must hear it too from my Tongue Blush not returned the Prince for why should you be ashamed to own a Passion for the Son of a Greater King than your own Father Therefore let me give you immediately to him for that is the Custom of that Country Here take from me this hand Giolo said he to me if I thought thee not Honourable and Brave I would not bestow this gift on thee else And Terhenahete I dare engage to you you 'll not repent your choice With these words he seized her hand and gave it to me who parting as it were out of a Trance into which these unexpected Joys had cast me I eagerly caught hold on 't and after ten thousand kisses which I gave it I thus cryed out Thanks Noble Prince all your Gods has not such another Gift to bestow Ah dearest Princess if you would but confirm I were entirely blest Well I must yield said she and blushed but use your conquest with moderation and shew by your after-Love that what you have said is true My Vncle has too much Authority over me for me to dislike his Choice Thanks my Dear Princess returned I with all the eagerness of Love and Success And thanks ye Heavenly Powers Thanks to you Renowned Prince And by my Charming Fair I here if fate so prosper us to carry us safe into Gilolo I 'll ever honour you as my Father Nay what 's more as the Father of my Terhenahete After this we passed that Night in all the Joyes of Love and I forgot that I was in an Enemies Country where I was in danger of being discovered to Death or perpetual Slavery In the mean time the Prince by some he could confide in had ordered a Vessel to be got ready but all these Affairs could not be carried on with that secrecy but some of the Slaves had knowledge of it which was confirmed when the next day but one Two of them were missing The Prince came to us with surprize and informed us of the whole matter on which we resolved to go upon our intended Voyage immediately for tho' he had not laid in those Provisions he intended nor got that strength of Men he hoped by his Agents to have procured in a few days yet we thought it safer to venture away without them than expect a certain ruine there by a farther delay but it was now too late to think of going that Night nor did we think we should have any come to prevent our escape so soon as the next day But the Slaves wi●●ed with hopes of reward for their discovery had made such had that by that time the Morning came 〈◊〉 came for the Princess immediately to repair to the Court and the Prince to yield himself a Prisoner And for me to bind me if resisted to kill me But with this Messenger who was not able to do all himself were sent about thirty more but he had out-gon them all which made us bind him first and immediately make hast to our Ship into which we had scarce got when we saw them that were in pursuit of us come to the shoar we hoist our Sailes and got clear of all the Ships there so out to Sea and had it not been for the Treachery or Ignorance of the Seamen had been by the next Morning safe out of danger We got out of sight by Noon so fare a Wind we had and then I began to think again of Love and would not lose any hours I could spend in the injoyment of my dearest Princess little thinking how little a time I was to be so happy For resolving to sail all Night for the greater speed the Pilot or by chance or design steer'd back directly to the place from whence we came so that when we waked in the Morning we were surprized to behold the Land and Place from whence we came The Old Prince suspecting Treason immediately slew the Pilot and had him hoisted over board and tacked about again but to no purpose nor Wind nor Tide assisted us and to add to our Affliction we saw two of the biggest Ships make to us but resolving not to be taken lamely we made resistance till the Poor Old Prince was slain and I extremely wounded upon which we were both carried ashore and the Princess ravished from my Arms with scarce leisure to wish me well or give a parting look and I was by another party carried away to Buta and sold there to a Forreign Merchant I know not of what place with whom I was 〈◊〉 to another Country I was ignorant of and by my New Master sold I suppose to those that brought me hither Having thus repeated my Misfortunes to you Sir I hope you will be so just to your word as to make enquiry what became of my Princess Whether she out-lived it Or has at last forgot her Giolo The Dutch Merchant was now quite tired with the Narrative and could not be prevailed with to give an account of it to the Company but told my Friend that if he would go with him to his Lodgings he would over a Bowl of Punch by parcels give him the whole Narrative which he did unwilling to lose any part of so admirable a Story of so Unfortunate as Prince As to the particular description of his Body the Pictures that are Published of him give a large account of that But to compleat the History of his Life I will add something of that nature This Prince is about the Age of Thirty Graceful and well proportioned in all his Limbs extreamly Modest and Civil and as this account shews of a very good Sense He is all over curiously Painted both before and behind a particular demonstration of his Quality Those Nations who use that Art never permitting the inferior sort
