Kingdome as the setting of Christian Kings and Princes at variance one against the other and the whilst they have beene by the eares as it were and infesting each other with deadly hatred and bloody Warres the Turke their common Adversary hath taken advantage of their unnaturall dissentions and by force taken from them in little more than three Hundred yeeres past more Kingdomes Empires Principalities large Territories and Signiories from the Christians than all the rest of Christendome besides His force and power I will partly relate in the latter end of this Treatise and also how the Christians have oftentimes had the better of him when they have beene at Unity and peace amongst themselves but first let the Reader peruse the true Coppy of an insulting proud Letter lately sent from the Grand Signior from his Court at Constantinople to the King of Poland now Reigning the Contents of the Letter were as followeth The true Coppy of a Letter of Denyall of Peace sent from the Turkish Emperor to the King of Poland as by many Coppies here in England may appeare SUltan Morat or Amurah the fourth of that Name by the Grace of the Great God in Heaven the onely Monarch of the World a great and mighty God on Earth an invincible Caesar King of all Kings from the East unto the West High and Mighty Emperour of the Turkes doe by these our Imperiall Letters signifie to thee Uladislaus King of Poland how that our Highnesse by our trusty and wel-beloved Embassador Goban formerly made Articles Agreements and Conditions of Peace which now we utterly deny and renounce by reason wee have received certaine Intelligence and true Knowledge at our Imperiall Court that thou hast and doest dayly make private Contracts not onely with our revolting and rebellious Subjects but also with our mortall Enemy the perfidious Moscovite And furthermore thou hast contemptuously sleighted and scorned our Great and Vnconquerable forces making no more account of them than triviall things of small valew or little esteeme relieving and wholly depending upon thy owne strength and power which is but weake and feeble in respect of our Invincible Hostes and huge Armies and Forces which we dayly doe maintaine being both Horse and Foot We see that the Reflexion of the Grace and Favour which we have beene pleased of our magnificent and aboundant goodnesse to reflect upon thee and by the peace which we have suffred and vouchsafed thee by our Clemency undeserved to enjoy thou having formerly sworne and promised to keepe good correspondent League and Amity with us with our Friends and Confederates which Promises of thine out of thine owne Pride Insolence thou hast not performed but most falsely broken and violated which we will no longer suffer to goe without Correction and Acknowledgment For by the reason of thy refractory falling off from wee there are other petty Kings and Princes who by thy instigation doe combine together and offer to take up Armes and stand in defiance against me and my power trusting upon their handfulls of men and weak Fortifications Moreover thou art willing and with readinesse doest watch all opportunities to make more Contracts with other Kings that they also would assist thee and desie us But if thou doest persist in thy ambitious intentions and designes then know that for everlasting time neither thy selfe or any of thy Successors the Polish Kings shall never have Peace or Amity with us or the succeeding Othoman Empire but thou art to expect nothing but utter ruine slaughter and all the calamities of a just incensed conquering Adversary to fall upon thee wee will enter thy Kingdome and thy other Signiories with our forcible and innumerable Armies and there shall be no mercy to be expected from our hands I would have thee know that since that long and bloody Warre is ended that now there is Peace concluded for 21. yeers to come betweene us the Persian Emperor that not only thou but other of thy adherents shall not be suffered in their insolent wayes to persist but that I will wholly bend and set my innumerable Army upon thee and them Thou didst promise according to our former agreements to live quietly and at Peace which now thou neglectest and regardest not but hast let loose thy licentious will and thy cut-throate Cossacks and Heiducks like Hell-hounds doe fall in and make incursions into our confines and Territories in divers parts of our Empire plundering and spoyling my people in that Hostile manner upon thy unlawfull commands and unadvised want of fore-sight which we will revenge in the highest and severest measure that we possibly can imagine or execute Also upon thy intemperate will and pleasure thou wouldst have caused our trusty and well-beloved Embassador Abbas Bassa to take some distaste against our Imperiall person and State which was an injury insufferable and it was the occasion that his Loyalty to us made him fall upon thee in the defence of mine honour in my Name and behalfe which thou at that time didst contemptuously seeme to sleight also And dost thou now after all these uncivill Insolencies desire Peace which is because thou hearest of a mighty great Army which I have caused to be levied ●nd raised which I purpose shall fall heavie upon thee and thy weake Forces with all possible speed yea our invincible Ianizaries whose often tryed valour and strength shall make thee and the whole World to tremble besides our Tartarian Horse-men who shall meete thee in the wide Fields and tosse thee and thy weake forces like dust or ashes in the Aire or motes in the Sunne my invincible powers of Foote and Horse whose numbers thou shalt not

be able to count like a huge Mountaine shall over-top thee like a raging Torrent overturne thee and like a violent Inundation overwhelme thee with mercilesse plundering robbing spoyling wasting and burning both thy Countrey and people Then shalt thou know with great feare and dread my force and power nay all thy Adherents and Confederates be they whom they will in number never so many shall quake and tremble at my dreadfull and just indignation It is not thy Kingdome of Poland thy Principality of Lithuania thy Russes Goths and Vandails nor any of thy Countries and Dominions which thou patst so much unstable security and confidence in with all their best defences for themselves or opposition of us that altogether shall be able for the space of one Moneth to endure the force of my might and power The swelling Seas shall shrinke under the burthen and weight of our unparalell'd Shipping when our Navy Royall and Tryumphant shall gloriously shew it selfe upon the vast Ocean namely our Gallyes Gallyasses Argosies Friggots and Brigandines when they shew themselves on the Seas the land shall admire and the wilde beasts of the Forrests shall shake and fearefully runne into obscure holes dennes and cavernes of the earth when they doe heare the terrible report of our thundring Ordnance discharged And what wilt thou doe then thou petty King with thy poore and weak Bands and Troopes or handfuls of men when thou shalt behold my great and powerfull Armies which shall cover thy Countries Thou makest a ●a●nting shew and art seemingly-confident in thy ever-weening opinion that thou canst consume and destroy the great Waspe with a small Gnat Know thou that our strength and terrour doth reach and extend further than our ample Dominions for our Imperiall commanding name is dreadfull and famous through the whole World or Vniversall Globe of the Earth from the rising of the Sunne to the setting of the same Wee purpose with the edges of our sharpe and well-tempered Semiters to loppe and mow downe thy ambition and to ruinate the ostentatious pride of thee and thy Countrey And we assure thee that it is meere folly for thee to expect any Peace Truce or League with us after wee have once set footing in thy Territories for our holy Prophet Mahomet is highly offended at our so long Clemency in forbearing and suffring thee in thy ungodly and wilfull actions Therefore we will come to Craconia thy Metropolis and chiefe Citty in Poland in the strength of which place thou puttest much confidence and where as we are lately certified thou hast built a holy Sepulchre in imitation of that which we have in possession in the sacred City of Jerusalem upon which thou dost likewise rely but that neither can nor shall helpe thee for we will raze and overthrow your Temples Churches and Chappels and convert them into Turkish Moskies for the service of our holy Prophet and those whom our force and fury doe not demolish and confound wee will turne into Stables where our Horses and Cammels shall live and be housed with rack and manger Thus we the great God of the World determine to doe these fore-threatned misteries thou must expect and it is not thy Crucified God in whom thou puttest thy confidence that shall helpe thee for we purpose that when our sword is once drawne not to sheath it again till we have made a finall conquest of Christendome or utter extirped and chased them from or neare any parts of our Dominions Sent by our trusty Servant and Embassadour in the Ides of the Moneth of March Anno 1637. THus may the Reader perceive in what thundering manner and ostentatious boasting this great and and sea Leviathan threatneth to overthrow and devoure the Polonian King but that manner of insulting and vaine-glorious writing from the Turke to Christian Princes is no newes in these dayes of ours for if any man will but looke into the famous and well written Turkish History now newly printed by Master Adam Islip in the 300 Page hee may reade how the Turk Amurath the sixth King of the Turkes writes to Scanderbeg or George Castriot the sonne of Iohn Castriot King of Albania or Epirus Also if you looke into the 1024 Page of the aforesaid booke you may read of a braving Letter farre surpassing this here before mentioned sent from Amurath the third Emperour of the Turkes to Rodolphus the second Emperour of Germany where in that place may be seene the most impious and blasphemous threatnings that ever Heathen Infidell or Atheisticall Barbarian hath belched or vomited against either God or man But for a proud Letter indeed looke in the 789 Page and there you may read the Master-piece of a vaunting title which Soliman the Magnificent Emperour of the Turkes sent to Ferdinand the Emperour of Germany in the yeare 1561. there you may perceive that the Stiles and Titles which the Turke gives himselfe would of it selfe fill halfe a Pamphlet in proclamation Print But Christian Princes who doe acknowledge that they doe hold their Crownes and Scepters from and under God and his sonne Christ Iesus are more strongly fortifi'd with heavenly Faith and Majestical courage than to be sear'd or afrighted with Bugge-beare words or farre-fetch'd large embost and embroydered Stiles or Titles And for one instance of the just Titles of a Prince who was indeede in his greatest Stile but an Arch-Duke of Austria yet in reall repetitions of the Signiories over which he was lawfull Lord and possessor he was in his time Equivalent that was then reigning in the whole Christian World He lived in the yeare 1494 and his Titles were as followeth The many just and ample Stiles and Titles of Phillip Duke of Burgundy Philip by the grace of God Arch-Duke of Austria Duke of Burgundy Lothier Brabant Stiria Carinthia Lemburgh Lupenburgh and Guelders Earle of Hauspergh Flanders Arthoys Burgoigne Ferrets and Kiburgh Palatine of Henault Holland Zealand Namure and Zutphen Marquesse of the Holy Empire and of Burgan Lantsgrave of Elsaten Lord of Windesmarke Portevan Salines and Macklin Although the repetition of this great Christian Princes Title may seeme somewhat impertinent yet it may be taken as tollerable because in a good measure it shews that there hath beene are and will be Kings and Princes in Christendome that can vye Titles and dare wage Warre with the Turke and first I will a little demonstrate the Turkish power and after declare how hee hath beene often foyled and beaten Otheman the first King of the Turkes wonne many Castles and Territories from the Christians in Greece as Cara Chisar Chalce Belezuge Jarchisar Nice Neapolis Prusa or Burusa This Othoman overcame the valiant Grecian Emperour Michael in the Countrey of Thrace in an unfortunate mortall Battell After that Othoman in another Battell in Chersonesus overcame the Christian Emperour and conquer'd and plundred almost all Thracia with many other places of strength which he wonne from the Christians Othoman Reigned in the yeere of
