arme vvhom he had killed broyled it on the coales and did eate it The King of Gagoes son not ouer a day or tvvo before the Kings death some say the same day drinking together because he vvas not able to pledge him so much as he drunk being all aqua vitae for so must euerie one doe as he did and drinke as he did caused the vvhole bole full of aqua vitae to be giuen him backvvard like a glister till it reversed in their faces againe that gaue it Hauing not long before made him to stand tvvo daies and tvvo nights in the vvater And before throvvne dovvne an other of the sons from the vvals of Saffia and broke his thigh Vnder a colour of going a hawking vvould lie vvhole daies and nights abroad in the fields a drinking And before his death manie daies nights together God hauing bereaued him of his vnderstāding as he did Nebuchadnezer and driuen him from men to dwell vvith the beasts of the field Yea he himself not long before hauing driuen avvaie from him all his most trustie servants saue one or tvvo committed to prison And vvithall a vvatchfull dog vvhich he loued fed vvith his ovvne hand for some small offence he tooke likevvise committed to prison vvith them commaunding he should but haue so much bread and vvater a daie All these his vvatchmen at once sequestred from him and the other so ouer toyled vvearied vvith vvatching day night perhaps also vvearie of him as vvere others all seemed to conspire his death Plotted as it seemeth before by some of the Elchies or renegadoes vvhom the King had threatned the next time he came to his house in Morocco to cut and make Eunuches to the number of two hundreth vvhereof they vvere sore affraid And therefore one among the rest a Frenchman as is reported vvatched his opportunitie vvhen the King came back to his tent at night hauing been all the day abroad a drinking and vvith a peece chardged vvith tvvo chained bullets shot him in by the fundament and privie members into the bodie as he vvas lying along in his tent A iust iudgement of God in respect of that glister of aqua vitae he gaue to the King of Gagoes Son threatning likevvise the elchies as before As also in respect of that abhominable impudent and filthie act he did at Saffia to those poore vvomen But chiefly vvhich God in the end vvill punish vpon those Mahometans both Turks and Moores in causing poore Christians boyes and others to be circumcised perforce yea cut and made eunuches A iust iudgement of God I say of all those Tyrants both Turkes Moores and others to be trembled at and so I leaue him Immediatly after his death his younger brother Muley Elvvallid vvas saluted King being at that time a prisoner in the Alcasaua the Kings house in Morocco expecting dailie nothing els but death VVherevpon some of his frends as at such a time and in such a case all are frends happie he that can be the first and svviftest Messenger running in all hast to the prison doore and crying out aloud to him to come forth he thinking it had been to execution to be put to death lingering excusing himself that he vvould but take leaue of his vvife and make himself readie vvhich he did only to die they calling and crying more and more at length he came forth and so vvas pregoned and proclaimed King of a prisoner I say on a sodaine become a King Of a far more soft nature disposition than his brother yet cruell and Tyrannous to poore Christians and to the English vvhom of late he hath most Barbarously entreated some of them Eight at once taken and circumcised perforce beaten vvounded and one mans head almost cut of to make them turne Moores and forsake their faith The rest fearefull dailie expecting the like measure as by letters latelie vvritten from the Merchants there may appeare vvhich I reserue vvith other passages to a further account leauing them to his mercie vvhich indeed is crueltie For the mercies of the vvicked are cruelties and him and them to God to iudge betwixt them which in time might haue been preuented by a seasonable dispatch long since expected the losse of so manie poore Christian soules as necessarie I dare say as some other dispatches if the bodies and soules of Christians be esteemed of any value novv a daies as they are in Gods sight right precious precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints And novv vvill I addresse my selfe vvith this Proposition and petition herevnto annexed to Christian Princes to condole and commiserate the distressed or rather desperate estate of these most miserable or rather more than miserable creatures if more may be not only the English but all other nations vvho this long time haue indured a most miserable and intollerable slauerie vnder these infidels both Turks and Moores and are like to doe more and more if not prevented VVhich I pray God at length they may take into their Christian consideration AMEN A PROPOSITION AND PETITION TO ALL CHRISTIAN Princes and States Professours and Defenders of the true Christian faith against all Antichristian povvers and principallities As vvell the Pope and his adherents as the Turk his Vassals the Mahometans both the one the other novv in these last daies to be vtterly destroyed and the Kingdome of Iesus Christ to be erected neuer to be destroyed but to indure and triumph euen to the end of the VVorld according to Daniels Prophecie 2. 44. And our Sauiours likevvise Mat. 24. 14. This Gospel of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the vvorld for a vvitnes vnto all nations and then shall the end come MOST HIGH AND MIGHTIE PRINCES Hauing been heretofore diuers times imployed into Barbarie for the redeeming of poore Christians out of Slauerie and other affaires and hauing been an eye-vvitnes of those great miseries or rather indignities don to those poore Christians in those Countries by that Barbarous people indignities I say not to be vttered not to be expressed but rather vailed ouer as did that painter the sorovvfull and mournefull or rather more than mournefull countenance of that heathen Prince for his daughter adiudged to be sacrificed to that heathen Goddesse or rather Idoll by no painters pensill to be expressed More than mournefull I say maiora lachrymis so manie poore Christians dailie taken by those infidels Turks and Moores and caried captiues into those cruell lions dens as sheepe appointed for the slaughter bought and sold in the merket as beasts and not men and devoured by those blooddie monsters vvhose soules lie vnder the Altar daily sacrificed to those heathen deuills crying Hovv long o Lord holie and true doest thou not iudge and auenge our blood on them that dvvell on the earth Yea beaten and tormented euen to death to make them forsake their faith as not only men but children also haue been
