THE HISTORY of y e WAR of CYPRUS THE HISTORY OF THE WAR OF CYPRUS Written Originally in Latin. With a New Map of the Island LONDON Printed by J. Rawlins and sold by Randal Taylor near Stationers-Hall 1687. Licensed November 26. 1686. RO. L'ESTRANGE TO THE Right Honourable GEORGE Lord JEFFREYS Baron of WEM Lord High Chancellor of ENGLAND and One of His Majesties most Honourable Privy Council My Lord YOur Lordship I hope will pardon the Boldness of this Dedication and permit the Presenter of it to pay that Honor and Veneration which is due from All to your Lordship's Eminent Character and most Illustrious Merits To which nothing can do greater Right than what has come from the Mouths of the late flagitious Rebels themselves who were so highly sensible of your Lordship's Wisdom and Courage in opposing their Hellish and Damnable Designs that their Principal Leaders were us'd to please themselves with nothing more than with the Thoughts and Wishes of making your Lordship a Sacrifice to their Malice and Revenge I will not attempt to speak here of what you suffer'd for your Inflexible Loyalty from a Seditious Cabal nor of our Obligations to your Auspicious Conduct which nipt the growing Faction in the Bud and stopt the Torrent of Enthusiastick Frenzy and by a bold Stroke of Justice set at Liberty those who were condemn'd unheard to a perpetual Confinement It were a Task too hard for me to undertake a particular Description of these and other Instances of your Lordship's Goodness and Courage which will be the chief Subject of the most lasting History of our Times All that I pretend to is to make some publick Acknowledgement of the just Sense I have of your Lordship's Great and Exemplary Virtues and to testifie in all Sincerity that I am My Lord Your Lordships most Obedient and humbly Devoted Servant Robert Midgley TO THE READER THE Title of this Book seems to promise but a narrow History and those that only like great Revolutions and variety of several Events which have happened in a long Sequel of Time will not perhaps be much prepossessed in its Favour The Conquest of an Island altho' honour'd with the Title of a Kingdom which was compleated in the second Campaign will appear to them too short to furnish an Historian with choice Materials But supposing the Interest which all Europe had in this Affair did not make it as indeed it did one of the most famous Accidents of the preceding Age yet the taking of Nicosia and desolation thereof being the Capital City of the Island of Cyprus the Siege and Surrender of Famagusta which capitulated not till after a four Months vigorous Resistance and the memorable Victory of Lepanto deserve the exact Care which the Bishop of Amelia has taken in Publishing them The Republick of Venice never saw her self so threatned by the Ottoman Empire as when Selim the Second form'd the Design of snatching from her this Kingdom and never Enterprize was carried on in the Divan with more dexterity and secrecy The Church then govern'd by Pope Pius the Fifth who was since Canoniz'd was at the same time attack'd by several Reformers authoriz'd by Secular Powers and the Infidels who always make advantage of the Disunion of Christians improved so favourable an opportunity to the enlargement of their Territories and Religion The Pope alarm'd by the foresight of these Misfortunes dispatch'd Nuncio's sent Legates to all the Princes of Europe and not content with these his good Endeavours set out a Fleet at his own Charge and offered to conduct it in Person for the Venetians Every Prince consented or refused to enter into the League propos'd by his Holiness according as he was interessed to break off or keep in with the Port and the Advantage he found in the Ruine or Preservation of the Republick But the Course which the King of Spain Philip the Second held is a Piece of the most refined Policy The Legate had no sooner represented him with the danger wherein the Republick lay but he undertook to send a great Force to its Assistance and gave Orders at the same time for the equipping of a considerable Fleet. All Christendom could expect no less from a Monarch who wore so many Crowns and honour'd himself with the Title of Most Catholick King. But his Design was only to merit this Title in appearance seeing the slowness which he used in making ready this Fleet and the secret Orders he gave to Requiescens Chief of the Council to Don John of Austria tended only to ruine the Republick and by this means reduce Italy under his Power The Ministers and Venetian Generals happily penetrated into the secret Designs of Philip and gave speedy Notice to their Masters The Venetians justly grieved to find how unsincerely they were dealt with made no scruple to accommodate themselves with the Turk without the participation of the Confederates altho' this was expresly forbidden by the Treaty they made with the Christian Princes It is in the summing up of this variety of Interests that our Author dives into and discovers the Intrigues and Motions of the principal Courts of Europe and we may well credit his Abilities and Faithfulness from the Part which Cardinal Commendon gives him in all these important Mysteries of State.
