Of the Towns of Upper Hungary and their Description THE Kingdom of Hungary as we have said is divided into the Upper and Lower Hungary the Towns of the Upper Hungary are these that follow PRESBOURG This Town lies upon the Danube and is the Capital City of the Upper Hungary and of all that belongs to the Emperor within that Kingdom It gives it's Name to a County which is a Province of Hungary betwixt Moravia Austria and the Danube the Latin Authors call it Posonium and Flexum and those of the Country Poson This place is eight Leagues from Vienna in Austria and as far from Newheusel and Comorra it is Fortified with a considerable Castle against the Incursions of the Turks which is mentioned by the Author of the German Itinerary in this manner Lib. 5. Hic ubi Posonium consurgit turribus altis Limes Teutonicis Hungariisque viris The Authors of the Hungarian History which are bound up in one Volume speak of Presbourg as well as Cluverius Ortelius and Samson it hath the Title of an Arch-Bishoprick and in the Cathedral-Church which is partly possessed by the Fathers Jesuits the Body of St. John Bishop of Alexandra is held in great Veneration Pope Clement the Fifth being informed that the Hungarians were in Arms and would not submit to Charles Martel Son to Charles II. King of Naples thought himself obliged to send a Legat thither either for composing these Disorders or strengthening the Party of the Lawful Soveraign For that effect he pitched upon Gentil de Monteffiore whose Merit had raised him from a Franciscan Frier to the Dignity of a Cardinal and who acquitted himself extraordinarily well in his Commission At first he used all ways of Mildness but finding them to be unprofitable he employed Ecclesiastical Censures and reclaimed the Hungarians to their Duty He celebrated a Council at Presbourg in the year 1309. Where sound Cannons were made which were afterwards approved by the Pope In this Town there are a great many Houses built after the Italian manner which contribute much to the Beauty thereof NITRIA Nitria or Nitracht a Town in the Upper Hungary is the Seat of a Bishop Suffragan to the Arch-bishop of Gran and has it's Name from the River it lyes upon which it gives to a County whereof it is the Capital It is under the Jurisdiction of Newheusel being five Leagues distant from it and ten from Presbourg and continued always subject to the Emperour NEWHEUSEL The people of the Country call it Owar and the Latin Authors Neoselium it lyes upon the River of Nitria or Nitrach two Leagues from Comorra upon the Danube It is but a small Town but very well seated and the chief Town of a large Country the Turks took it in the year 1663.

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
