till out of his free Prince linesse he grace them with a new fauour You are not I am sure ignorant of this secret o● State this law of Mahomet this policy of gouernment this meanes of our security that when wee haue children of our owne no brothers must liue to disquiet them nor any blockes bee cast in their way to the race of Soueraignty which may either startle vs in our resolutions or bee vmbragious to their tendernesse by any attempt or suspition of treason therefore was I resolued to wrap you vp into the Cypresse chests of your predecessors not so much in imitation of custome to which in a manner our fathers chained their liues and actions as confirmation of my owne iudgement not to commit such a sollecisme in my Soueraignty as to leaue a hand vncut off which might by way of audaciousnesse cast defiance in the face of an Emperour or sow the seeds of turbulency to choke vp the good corne of peace and quietnesse but sure thou hast found some friend whom none can finde but by the purity of life and deuotion of prayer he hath told me in thy behalfe There is no Religion in blood For as that stone-building cannot stand which is set vp with vntempered morter so cannot their liues prosper who carowse the receits that are mingled with death or reuenge Therefore liue nay therefore raigne and when the thred of my life is spun which is now a winding on the wheele of Destiny looke you step into the chaire of controll Remember the Othoman glory and let my abhorred course of life be a warning vnto thee that surquedry and effeminatenesse be the onely clogs to a generous minde and barre vp the gates euen in the inside to keepe Princes out of the Palace of Honour and renowne Remember that though Monarkes would liue without controll yet there are no such enemies to the flourishings of Gouernment as to sport before them with the tripping Faeries of flattery and priuate respect vvhereby they shall either looke vvith ouer-big countenances or speake vvith ouer-big voyces to the subiect or else giue vvay to such by-vvayes of authority that if they may bee brought backe to looke vvheron they haue trod they vvould stop their noses at the filthy ordure of mud and ovvse vvhen yet they might haue gone in the smooth and sweete tract of a more pleasant and safer walke Remember my children that are Princes by blood and should haue beene thy Masters by birth-right but they are too young to rule themselues and too great to bee ouer-ruled by others nay the Othoman glory must not be shared amongst a troope of dependants nor the Chariot wheeles of our Maiesty be dashed with the daring approches of such horses as must needs bedirty vs more then our owne flingings or wantonnesse Remember thy selfe that art as it were pulled out of the iawes of death and if it be a benefit to liue or a blessing to liue gloriously let it be thy vertue to be thankfull and my good Fortune that I imparted this benefit to so worthy a man To conclude remember our God and let not policy like Prometheus his Vulture gnaw vpon the heart of religion but when thou seest any start aside from honest obedience be sure he is either an hypocrite or factious Keepe thy selfe therefore as close to purity as thou canst and neither neglect publike meetings nor priuate sequestration but take heed of seruing of God for priuate respects For that God which doth giue vs bread will giue vs stones and turne our heauen into brasse and earth into iron if wee doe not serue him for loue and come to him with cheerfulnesse When he had made an end hee sent for the other Viceers and Bashawes and adiured them to the ratification of his will so his brother was dismissed to his Palace designed and they discharged till they were recalled but hee neuer troubled them more for very shortly after he yeelded to the summons of the great Commander of Princes and gaue way to the alteration that followed in the State yet for the time with one generall consent and vnanimity they inuested the Princely Mustapha with the Diadem in which he remained quietly a while as if they made a conscience of infringing the will of the dead and were resolued to admit of his vertue that must needs adde glory to the Empire But Scander Bashaw perceiuing his owne authority much diminished by this translation and proiecting another manner of greatnesse if hee might be aduanced to be Viceer vnder a younger Prince intimated against the new Emperour that hee was too much addicted to peace and sobriety and his coole spirit must needs draw on strange inconueniences vpon the Empire but in truth he watched all opportunity to conuerse with the children of Achmate and found the liuely Osman or Othoman being eight or nine yeeres old so forward and sprightfull that he durst aske him to his amaze if he were not his fathers eldest sonne yea he interiected such strange questions and demands that the Bashawes were already afraid they had done something vniustifiable and which must be answered with no lesse then the losse of their liues Whereupon he resolued on an alteration and so conferred with the Viceer and principall Mufty about the towardlinesse of the young Prince and saw no remedy for their security but to depose Mustapha againe make Osman Emperour to which when none of that Councell and faction durst oppose they presently gaue the Ianisaries a donatiue in the name of young Osman stored the Hellespont with many Gallies dismissed certaine Tartarians which were to goe into Bogdonia and were not to be tolerated till the tumult was appeased sent for diuers Sansacks and Timatriots to attend the young Emperour and vnder-hand filled the great City with souldiers ere Mustapha could coniecture that they intended so waighty a businesse as the deposing of a Prince But when all things were ready and all men prepared that were acquainted with the conspiracy Scander Bashaw brought out the young Osman in publike whose manly countenance and Princely towardlinesse amazed them more then if they had seene some Meteor or portentous Comet What should I insist on circumstances By a wonderfull applause they gaue him notice of their liking and a quicke dispatch of his inuesture assurance of their approbation so they made no more adoe but proclaimed him Emperour and allowed him all his prerogatiues as if hee had beene of mature iudgement to challenge their prostitution indeed The next worke was the imprisoning of his Vnkle or if you will sequestring him into the former Palace where his brother appoynted him to remaine before his death with a Gard of Capogies Here he was confined well attended and better obserued For such was his Fortune that then Scander Bashaw excused his deposure from the necessity of their owne preseruation and feare of the tumultuary Ianisaries who still cryed after the sonne of Achmate and euer after as it

Renegado Chawse and in good account with the Viceer yea one of his sisters as he told me himselfe was taken prisoner comming as a Pilgrime to Ierusalem and so brought to Constantinople but whether reserued for the Turkes vse or some Bashaw he could not tell In the meane while Sir Thomas Glouer is recalled into England and Master Paul Pindar who had been Consull at Petrasse and Aleppo as many yeeres commorant in those parts was confirmed his Maiesties Embassadour in Constantinople in whose time the former Gasparo Gratiano returnes againe to the great Citty and was imployed into Moldauia by the Viceer either as an ouerseer of the actions of that Prouince or as a new aduersary to the vnfortunate Prince his Master who at last was there mischieuously poysoned amongst them or as some will haue it absolute gouernour till the true titles might appeare and the controuersies be determined How he behaued himselfe I will not dispute nor constantly maintaine that he dealt treacherously with the King of Poland certifying vnder hand that contrary to the peace contracted with the Grand signieur he supported the pirats of the black Sea and the inhabitants of Bugdonia the intestine broyles of Moldauia the incursions of many Cossacks whereby the Turke was then much exasperated against Poland and a manifest cloud of mischiefe hung ouer all those Countries apparantly But this I am sure of that his Maiesties Embassador of Poland Leigier at Constantinople had neither so gracious audience as he was wont nor such security as the priuiledges of Embassadors presumed on For presently the Grand signieur exclaymed against them all in fury and displeasure and when there was forcible intimation indeed concerning the busines of Moldauia and the many clayme 's to the Principality by factious Lords he not onely gaue commaundement to ouer-runne that Countrey but to teach Poland it selfe a new lesson of obedience that durst be auxiliary to a petty Prouince against so mighty a Monarke and greatest Prince in the world nor ended it thus in a kinde of slender inuectiue but the threatnings had tearmes of ostentation besides the exprobrating their perfidiousnesse yea the letters had wonderfull titles and far-fetcht denominations the Embassies mixture of profanenesse and presumption of ouer-running Europe and all this was done in the life of Achmate though for the time the whole frame of this conceiued displeasure proued a Babylonish Tovver and ended onely in confusion of Languages For as yet more then the customary breaking out of the Cossacks of Bogdonia and the territories about the blacke Sea there vvas no mayne Army on foot● but onely certaine preparatiues to a follovving warre For as if hee would leaue his rage hereditary he commanded the principall Mufti and Doctors of the Law to remember this charge to his Sonne and put him in minde of the prosecution which accordingly vvith filiall obedience he performed indeed and brought out the furies of his vengeance to act that part which they haue now played in those Countries But because many remarkeable things happened in the death of Achmate before this young Phaeton came to guide and manage the Horses of this Monarchies Chariot giue mee leaue to insist a little vpon them and modell out this relation to some forme of pleasure and contentment Achmate comming to the Empire at 15. yeeres old remained in the same till he was almost thirty in which time pleasure surfetted on ease and ease had such changes of wantonnesse that hee seemed weary with the continuance of delight for Sardanapalus came short of him for abundāce of Concubines and variety of luxurie so that if it bee true that Voluptates commendat rarior vsus it must needs follow that to play thus continually proued as tedious to him as to worke and to gurmandize thus without cessation must needs raise rather a lothsomenesse then satisfaction In briefe he had so many wiues children that in a maner he forgot the the glory of his Family the prosecution of glorious enterprises giuing himselfe ouer to the Syrens incantation of Lust and lasciuiousnesse in the heate of which outrage he determined to kill his brother Mustapha a Prince of great expectation whom as yet some supernaturall prouidence had preserued from death But now to colour his pretences such was the law such was the custome nay such was the necessity of preseruation that as Nature teacheth all creatures the way of security so had Policy instructed these Princes by this one Machiaueliā trick to preuent mischiefes insurrections factions competitions murthers and all such affrightings that make Princes vnhappy if they be once put in feare indeed This made Damocles that he could eate no meate when hee saw the sword ready to fall vpon him that hung ouer his head by a horse haire This made the Emperour tell his flatterer that if he knew what cares were the Companions of his Crowne he would not take it vp though it lay in his way as a donation of Fortune This made Dionysius trust none but his daughter to burne off his haire with nutshels and this made Achmate to continue the custome of his Progenitors by remouing all the causes of terrour and suspition though the life of his brethren payed for it But what sayes the Poet Multa cadunt inter calicem supremáque labra So as this iolly Prince was running away with the apprehension of his happinesse setting downe a determinate houre for the strangling of Prince Mustapha his brother the night before the period of his Catastrophe a fearfull Vision diuerted him from the enterprise and a fearfull voyce ecchoed in his eares that there could bee no Religion in murther and those sacrifices which the Tyrants made in former times of blood and humane flesh were the causes of the ruine and deuastation of their Monarchies yea vtter losse of body and soule to the Princes themselues Little thought the great Turke to haue found a greater Greatnesse in his sleepe and lesse did hee suspect that there was such a God aboue to countermand the gods on the earth But so predominant was his ouer-ruling Genius at this time and so tractable his obedience that the very next day hee sent for the principall Mufty some Doctors of the Law and Scander Bashaw who was delegated Generall against the Polonians To whom hee imparted the apparition and of whom hee receiued something sortable to the flattering of Princes but altogether vnseasonable because his soule was touched with some rough hands he wisely considered there was more to bee looked after then a present greatnesse or flourishing tyranny whereupon euen in their presence he sends for his brother dischargeth his Mutes who were the officers of death alloweth him a Gard of Capogies appoynteth him a Caska or Banqueting-house by himselfe and at last preuaileth thus with his owne great heart that he venteth out these speeches Brother arise for you must know that all men comming to tractate with the Emperour vse à kind of slauish prostitution
