CHAP. VII Of the Towns of Lower Hungary BUDA BEfore the Turks invaded Hungary the City of Buda was the Metropolis of the Kingdom the Ancients called it Curta and the Germans Offen It is divided into the Upper and Lower Town lying upon the side of a Hill the Foot whereof is washed by the Danube which at that place is above half a mile over It hath a Bridge of Boats over it that joins the City of Buda to the little Town of Pest lying on the opposite side In Buda are to be seen the Ruines of several stately Palaces built heretofore by Matthias Corvinus King of Hungary and his Predecessours which the Turks neglect and let fall into decay This is a large fair and well built Town but ill peopled and hath hardly any Inhabitants but the Spahies and Janisaries of the Garrison which is always very numerous After the Death of John Zapol Count of Scepus and Elba King of Hungary his Widow Elisabeth of Poland and his Son Stephen called in the Turks to their Assistance against Ferdinand of Austria who was elected King. The Germans besieged Buda and the Turks having defeated them made themselves Masters of the Town under pretext of Friendship sending the Queen her Son and George Martinisius who had been chief Minister to the late King into Transilvania This Town is the Residence of a Beglerbey whose Authority extends over twenty Sangiacks The Bassa of Buda hath more Authority than the others have and the Garrison consists commonly of eight or ten Thousand Men. Some take it to be the Curta of Ptolomy and others for the Aguincum of the Itinerary of Antonine It is very hard to be positive as to that and all that can be said are but Conjectures But it is a Fable that the Brother of Attila built it and called it by his Name Budaeus For that Brother of Attila was named Bleda and not Budaeus as the Fabulous pretend Solyman rendered himself Master of Buda the 20eth of August 1526. and in the year 1527.

His Moderation was admired upon his coming to the Throne in that having but one only Brother he did not put him to death according to the Custom of the Turkish Princes but shut him up in a Cloyster of Mahometans The Sophy of Persia taking the advantage of his Minority re-took Tauris and Erzerum Achmet sent thither the Basha Cigale who not having acquitted himself well of his Commission was upon his return Strangled by 50. Capigis who met him at Bursa Achmet regained Transilvania Walachia and Moldavia by the means of Botskay who revolted from the Emperor and sided with Bethlem Gabor against Sigismond Bathory Prince of Transilvania Afterwards finding himself Attacked on all hands he put Four Armies into the Field one against the Persians another against the Polonians one to oppose the Cossacks and the last to guard the Tribute of Egypt but all of them having been unfortunate as he was preparing for greater designs he died the 15th of November 1617. in the Thirtieth year of his Age and Fourteenth of his Reign Mustapha Emperor of the Turks was Son to Mahomet III. and Brother to Achmet I. he succeeded to him though he had a Son Osman Twelve years old in the year 1617. Mustapha being Twenty five years of Age was placed upon the Throne by the Janisaries who two Months after degraded him being displeased at his reserved way of living Osman his Nephew Succeeded to him and Mustapha as some say led a recluse and solitary Life But the truth is he was in Prison however being brought out by the Janisaries he was again set upon the Throne the 19. of May 1622. Next day after he caused his Nephew Osman to be put to death and having Reigned sixteen Months the People being dissatisfied with his Conduct he was again confined to perpetual Imprisonment in the Month of September 1623. and Amurath Brother to Osman was put in his place Osman Emperor of the Turks was the Son of Achmet I. and succeeded to him at Twelve years of Age about the end of January 1621. He led an Army of almost Four hundred thousand men against the Poles but that Expedition was not prosperous he lost above an Hundred thousand men atempting to force the Camp of Threescore thousand Poles and Cosa●ks Commanded by Prince Ladislaus Osman was obliged to make a Peace on disadvantageous Conditions He thought that the Janisaries had much contributed to that unhappy Success which made him have a mind to cashier them and he was accused of having a design to remove the seat of the Empire unto Damascus in Syria That insolent Militia revolted and the Unfortunate Prince was Strangled the 20. of May 1622. dy Order of Mustapha his Uncle whom the same Janisaries had raised to the Throne as I said before Osman's Reign lasted but Four years and about four Months Sultan Osman took the following Titles in a Letter which he wrote at the desire of the most Christian King to Basha Ferrovi and to Mula Cadi of Jerusalem to restore the Cordeliers to the possession of Bethlehem and of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem which places had been possessed by the Armenians in the year 1625. The Emperor Osman Son of the Emperor Achmet always Victorious I who am by the infinite Graces of the Almighty Creator and by the abundant Miracles of the chief of the Prophets Emperour of Victorious Emperours Distributor of Crowns to the greatest Princes of the Earth Keeper of the two sacred and most august Cities the fairest amongst all those of the World Mecha and Medina Protector of the Holy Jerusalem Lord of the greatest part of Europe Asia and Africa conquered with our Victorious Sword to wit of the Countries and Kingdoms of Greece Themeswar Bosne Seget Natolia Caramania Egypt and of all the Countries of the Parthians Curdes and Georgians of the Iron-Gate of the Countries of the Prince of the little Tartars Cyprus Diarbeck Aleppo Erzerum Damascus Babylon the Balzaradick Arabians Abechy Thunis Tripoli Barbary and of so many other Countries Isles Streights Passages People Families Generations and of so many Thousand millions of valiant Soldiers who rest under the Obedience and Justice of me who am Emperor Osman Son of the Emperor Achmet of the Emperor Mahomet of the Emperor Amurath of the Emperor Selim of the Emperor Solyman by the Grace of God the Retreat of the greatest Princes of the World and Refuge of the most honorable Emperors Amurath IV. was the Son of Achmet and Brother of Osman after the Death of Achmet the Janisaries as we have said put Mustapha his Brother upon the Throne and afterwards having sent him back again to Prison they crowned Osman But in the sequel the same Insolent Militia re-called Mustapha who caused Osman to be strangled and the Government of that Prince being disagreeable unto them they remanded him to Prison Amurath at the Age of fifteen years was saluted Emperor in the Month of September 1623. and in the year 1626. he besieged Bagdet but the Persians defended themselves so vigorously that in the year 1630. the Turks were forced to withdraw Amurath had the Trouble of losing Hali Basha and divers places which the Persians and Arabians took from him Besides that the Poles and Cossacks gave him the allarm so hot that the Viziers were resolved to dethrone him if the Peace which he made with these People had not altered their minds Amurath concerned himself indirectly in the Affairs of the Protestants of Germany at the Sollicitation and under the Conduct of Ragotski but it happened to the Confusion of both He had at length the Pleasure to be revenged on the Persians In the year 1638. He set out into the Field as it is thought one of the most numerous Armies that ever the Ottomans had on foot and making use of the favourable juncture of the War betwixt the Persians and Mogols he besieged Bagdet and took it in fourty days time Amurath enjoyed not that Victory long for his Debauches brought him to his Grave the 8th of February 1640. in the Two and thirtieth year of his Age. This Amurath IV. in a Letter which he wrote to the King of Hungary in the year 1640. took the following Titles By the Grace of the Almighty God in Heaven we Soly-Mahomet only God upon Earth full of invincible Graces and Omnipotent Emperour of Babylon in Judea from the Sun-rising to its Setting King of all the Kings of the Earth King of all Arabia and Media Duke sprung from the Noble Stem of Greece and Armenia born Triumphant King of Jerusalem Lord and Protector of the Holy Sepulcher of
Christ Crucified Ibrahim Emperor of the Turks was the Son of Achmet and succeeded to his Brother Amurath IV. in the year 1640. When this last died the Officers of the Port had a great deal ado to make him come out of the place where he had been in a manner Prisoner for three or four years suspecting it to be only a pretext to render him Criminal The Sultana his Mother persuaded him of the truth having shown him the dead Body of his Brother he came out and having been crown'd he gave himself wholly over to Voluptuousness which was fatal unto him The loss of one of his Sultana's whom the Knights of Malta took in the year 1644. betwixt Rhodes and Alexandria made him undertake to be revenged on Malta But he turned his Arms against Candie and took the Canea in 1645. In the mean time he grew cruel his Pleasures made him abandon all care of the Affairs of the Empire and he became insupportable to all Men. The Militia and Officers conspired against him and sent for the Mufti and other considerable Persons of the Law on design at first to put to Death the Grand Visier Then they resolved to depose Ibrahim who expressing a great Contempt and much Haughtiness did so incense those mutinous Spirits that they strangled him the 18th of August 1649. and placed Mahomet his Son upon the Throne Mahomet IV. was Born the second of January 1642. and was raised to the Throne ten days after the Death of Sultan Ibrahim his Father who was strangled by the Janisaries In the years 1663. and 1664. He took in Hungary the Towns of Newheusel Fort-Serin or Serin-wart afterwards demolished and some other places The loss he sustained at the Battle of Raab or St. Godard made him resolve to make Peace which he did the 17th of September 1664. He hath been more unfortunate in the present War wherein he hath lost Gran Newheusel and a great many other strong Places and Battles mentioned before He took the City of Candie in the year 1669. after a very long and tough Siege The Venetians have taken many important Places from him in this War both in the Morea and elsewhere His greatest delight is in Hunting wherein he spends most part of the year For that reason it is that he resides commonly at Adrianople that he may be near the places where there is most Game He goes often to Larissa and spends sometimes Eight or Ten Days together under magnificent Tents pitched half a League from that Town upon the Banks of the Peneus The Turks in his time have made many Conquests from the Poles from whom they have taken Caminiec and some other places Sobieski great Mareshal of the Crown and at present King of Poland was at that time General of the Polonian Army who defeated the Turks at the Famous Battle of Gotzchin in the year 1673. He eluded their Projects the two years following and at length reduced them to desire a Peace Since that the Turks undertook a War against the Moscovites and got some advantages over them in the year 1678. and the Poles having confederated with the Emperor and Republick of Venice in the year 1683. continue to Harass and make head against them in Podolia Russia and the neighbouring Territories These are the Titles that Mahomet IV. takes to himself Mahomet Sultan by the Infinite Graces of the Almighty Creator and by the abundant Miracles of the chief of the Prophets Glorious Great Invincible and always Victorious Emperor of the Emperors of Constantinople and Trebizonde King of Kings Distributer of Crowns to the greatest Princes of the Earth Keeper of the two sacred and most august Cities Mecha and Medina Protector of the Holy Jerusalem Master of the great Sea Lord of the greatest part of Europe Asia and Africa conquered with our Victorious Sword Lord of the East and West of the great Anatolia Bithinia of the great City of Nice Nichomedia the great Chalcedonia Phrygia Lycia Pamphylia Tarsis Paphlagonia Caramania Capadocia Cesarea of the great and little Armenia Iberia Georgia Mingrelia the Iron-Gate Turcomania of the Curdes Parthians Medes Persians of Tauris Assyria Mesopotamia Diarbeck of great Babylon Balzara Chaldaea of the Holy Land Syria Judaea Canaan Galilee Jerusalem Samaria Phenicia Palestine Aleppo Erzerum Damascus of the great Antioch of the Tyberiade and Caspian Seas of the three Arabias the Stony Desart and Happy the Indian and Red Seas of Aleppo Ethiopia Egypt Alexandria and Grand Caire of Barbary Thunis Tripoli Fez Morocco Cyprus of Rhodes all Greece Peloponesus Thrace Great Romania Macedonia Thessaly Corinthia Chersonesus Albania Bosnia Servia Bulgaria Slavonia Moldavia of Themeswar Dacia Hungary Wallachia Scythia the greater and lesser Tartary and of an infinite number of other Countries Kingdoms and Empires Isles Streights People Families Generations and of so many Thousand Millions of Valiant Soldiers who rest under the obedience and Justice of me who am Emperor Mahomet son of the Emperor Ibrahim by the Grace of God the Retreat of the greatest Princes of the World and the Refuge of honourable Emperors This Prince Mahomet IV. has Children the Sultana Queen who is his chief Wife brought him his first Son she is called Eumenia a Greek by Nation he hath a Brother called Solyman and his eldest Brother named Osman is a Dominican Monk called Father Dominick of St. Thomas who was taken with his Mother by the Galleys of Malta sayling to Alexandria upon a Pilgrimage to Mecha This Emperor is the greatest Enemy of Christendom May Heavens grant that the projects of that Infidel Prince against the Christian Religion may be disapointed and that the proud Empire of the Crescent may one day be subject to the glorious Standard of the Cross under the Auspices of that great Caesar who under the lovely name of Leopold hath merited to be the first and XIV Emperor of the most August House of Austria who by his great Prudence and exemplary Piety by his Constant and indefatigable Pains and by the Grace of the Great God of Armies hath happily procured to Christendom all these great Victories to the shame and confusion of that fierce and barbarous common Enemy and under the Conduct of the Valiant Charles IV. Duke of Lorrain that brave Hero to whom Christendom is obliged that it had time to Relieve Vienna when with unparalled Speed he marched thither and in view of the Enemy supplied the place with Provisions Ammunition and 12000 of the best men in the Army who defeated the Turks and Rebels before Presbourg that having taken that Town had a design to make a Bridge there over the Danube thereby to facilitate the passage of the Turkish Convoys to their Camp before Vienna who flew like lightening to save the King of Poland from the extream Danger wherein he was being engaged with the Body of the Ottoman Army near Barkan and who after gained the Battle of Barkan that we mentioned before This is that Prince who considering that his
