Newes from Turkie OR A true and perfect Relation sent from CONSTANTINOPLE Touching the death of Achmet the last Emperour of the Turkes AS ALSO THE MIRACVLOVS deliuerances of MVSTAPHA brother to the said ACHMET then Emperour and his strang escapes frrm his purposed death Together with the memorable accesse of the said MVSTAPHA into the Turkish Empire and a narration of such things as haue since happened LONDON Printed by William Iones for Samuell Nealand and Nathaniell Browne and are to be sould at the great North-dore of Saint Paules Church 1618. A RELATION SENT from Constantinople touching the death of Achmett the last Emperour of the Turkes As also the memorable accesse of Mustapha his brother to the said Turkish Empire MAhumet 3 of that name the fourtenth Emperour of the Turkes departing this life in the yeare 1602 left two children behind him which he had of the Sultane Flatra a Cipriote Ladie the elder whereof was named Achmett and the yonger Mustapha Achmett the elder of the age of fifteenth yeares was at that time resident in Magnesia the ordinary Appennage and entertainment of the elder children and future successors of the Sultane Ottomans from whence he was sent for with all diligence by the Bassaes to take the possession of the Throne of his late father which accordingly he did and was the first Emperour of that name and the fifteenth of the race of the Ottomans contained from the father to the sonne euen to this time Now for as much as it is the Custome of the Turkish Emperours that entring into their Empire they put to death by the halter all their brothers and Nephewes without leaving any Male in life but onely such as saue themselues by flight as sometimes it happens Neverthelesse the Bassaes and other great ones of the Ottoman port were of opinion not to suffer that Mustapha brother of Achmet should runne this fortune and that by a Councell of estate because that seeing their Emperour Achmet to be only aged fifteene yeares they were affraid that he comming to faile in this younger age and leauing no Children able to gouerne the estate might come to be troubled and weakned by Ciuil warres It was therfore Decreed that Mustahpas life should be conserued but in such meanes that he should be retained prisoner in there Chambers of the Seraile of the Emperor at Constantinople vnder sure garde During the first yeares of the imprisonment of Mustapha there was nothing cruell decreed against him by reason of the minority of the Sultan but when that Achmet sawe that he had Children many times he proposed to his Councell the putting to death of his brother and it seemeth miraculous that the same Councell came not to effect For among other times it is reported that one euening his death hauing beene determined and appointed to be executed the day following the Emperor Achmet found himselfe all the night long so troubled with apparitions and hidious dreames that the day being come he sayd seeing that the onely resolution of putting his brother to death had so troubled him he did beleeue that his paine and torment would be much encreased if he should execute his purpose and therefore he commaunded that his brother should liue Another time Achmet being in a window of his Seraile beheld Mustapha his brother who by his licēce was walking in the gardens with his Guarde One that was neere to Achmet said vnto him that it was a matter of dangerous concequense to let him haue that liberty Vpon which discourse Achmet entering into choller through distrust tooke his Bowe which he could drawe with great dexterity ●nd good ayme and bending the same with ●he Arrowe couched he aymed at his bro●her to sticke him but at the very instant he ●elt so great paine in his arme and shoulder ●hat being not able to execute his purpose he said with a loud voice that God would not that Mustapha should dy This Prince during his detencion and imprisonment in the three chambers of the Secaile which hath lasted fifteene yeares hath passed the time in a deuout and contemplatiue life after the manner of the Musulmans not delighting himselfe in any other exercise and passetime but in reading of the Arabian bookes of their Doctors in diuers sciences Sometimes the Grand-signor did permit him to walke in his gardens with his Guard an● likewise called him to the affaires of consequence to take councell with him and oftentimes followed his aduises because he knew him of a good iudgment and very deepe After this long time and this so long apprehention of death Achmet the first of that name and the fifteenth Emperor of the Ottoman race being grieuously sicke in the Month of Nouember 1617 in his Secaile of Constantinople was giuen to vnderstand by those that were about him that he should doe well to thinke vpon the succession of his Empire He had Children of the Sultane his wife which were in so yong an age that there was no● apparance for looking that way and besides this Sultane was dead so as none would speake for the Children but on the other part the Sultane Harachie mother of the Emperour and of Mustapha was yet liuing who fearing that if the Children of the Emperour were admitted to the gouerment that during their vnder age the Bassaies should take the authoritie of the gouermēt there would not remaine for her any honor or dignitie this was the reason that she inclined on the side of Mustapha sollicited the sicke Emperour to name him for his successor Wherefore the 15 of the said month of Nouember 1617. the Emperour Achmet seeing himselfe neere his end without hope of life he sent for his brother Mustapha and told him that foreseeing that God would otherwise dispose of him he desired before he died to prouide for the conseruation of the Empire and to that end had chosen him for his successor praying him to take into his hands the gouernment immediatly after his death Mustapha very much astonished at such discourses made him answer with words full of feare and humility that he might not accept of that honour which he did him seeing that of right and by iustice the Empire belonged to his eldest sonne Whereunto Achment replied that his sōne had neither age nor capacity to take it vpon him and that he would acquit himselfe of that charge better and that it was necessary for the maintenance of this so great a Monarchie that he should take the direction and managing thereof recommending to him his Childrin that he had by the Sultane and praying him to afford them the same treatment and vsage that he had receiued from him leauing the other Children which he had of women that were his slaues to his discression A little after Achmet had vttered these words he rendred vp his spirit Mustapha was acknowledged by all for the successor to the Turkish Empire who at his first comming to the Crowne found himselfe so amazed
