where I with others saw him and he espying me called vpon Christ They threw him into a Dungeon where hee miserably ended his life He had liued in pompe and beene Authour of much mischiefe had conuayed much treasure out of the Countrey by way of England to Wesell in Westphalia where hee was borne though brought vp in Cambridge an Enemy alway to our Nation Hee had deluded the Emperour with tales of Queene Elizabeths youth and hopes by his Calculations of obtayning her But the Emperour out of hope hereof heard that there was a young Lady of the bloud Royall the Lady Mary Hastings daughter to the Earle of Huntington whom he now affected The Bishop of Nouogrod was condemned of coyning and sending money to Swethen and Poland of keeping Witches buggering Boyes and Beasts confederating with Bomelius c. All his goods were confiscated and himselfe throwne into a Dungeon with Irons on his head and legges where he made painted Images Combes and Beads liued with bread and water Eleuen of his confederate Seruants were hanged in his Palace gate at Mosco and his women Witches shamefully dismembred and burnt The Emperour passed ouer those which had beene accused and now consulted about marrying his second Sonne Chariwich Theodor being of great simplicitie the eldest hauing no issue But hauing his Prelates and Nobles together could not but euaporate some of his conceits from the former confessions of their Treasons being Ascension day on which before Musco had beene burned He spent some houres in Rhetoricall enlarging the dismalnesse of that day with great eloquence darting still with his eye at many Confederates in the late Conspiracie protesting to leaue them a naked disloyall and distressed people and a reproch to all Nations of the World The Enemies are at hand God and his prodigious creatures in the Heauens fight against vs Scarcity and Famine witnesse it and yet no Iudgements moue remorse in you The Originall is too long to recite Little was done but all prostrating themselues to his Maiesty and mercy desired God to blesse his holy purpose for the marriage of his Sonne for whom he chose Irenia daughter of Theodor Iuanowich Godonoue and after the solemnization of the marriage with great Feast dismissed the Nobles and Prelates with better words and countenance which was taken for a reconciliation But the Nuptials could not be performed by vsuall cohabitation which much distempered the King it is not decent to write the courses taken therein The Emperous Letters Instructions were ready himselfe his chiefe Secretarie Sauelly Frowlow whiles I was present closed them vp in one of the false sides of a woodden Bottle filled with Aquanitae to hang vnder my Horse-mayne not worth one penny appointed me foure hundred Hungarian Duckets in Gold to be sowed in my boots and quilted in some of my worst garments He said he forbare to tell me of some secrets of his peasure fearing left I passing thorow his Enemies Country might bee inforced to discouer what hee would not haue knowne The Bottle you carry with you shall declare what you shall say to Queene Elizabeth my louing Sister of which you must haue care as of your life vntill you come in safe place to open it In meane while and alway bee thou my sweet Sunshine Eremiska trusty and faithfull and thy reward shall be my goodnesse and grace from me hereafter I fell prostrate layd my head on his foot with a heauy heart to bee thus exposed to vnauoydable danger Doeafie Vlanon a Gentleman of good ranke and daily Wayter on the King attended me my Sled and Horse and twenty Seruants were ready at the posterne gate I posted that night to Otuer ninety miles where victuals and fresh Horses were prepared and so to Nouogrod and Plesco 600. miles in three dayes where entring into Liuonia my Gentleman and Seruants tooke their leaues and desired some token to the Emperour of my safe comming thither They left me with a poore guide only Within three houres after the Centinell tooke me vpon the borders and brought me to New house into the Castle before the State-holder or Lieutenant who straitly examined and searched me suspecting me as one comming from their enemies Country I said I was glad to come into their hands out of the vaile of misery the Moscouites Country not without losse On the third day vpon some mediation they appointed mee a Guide and suffered mee to passe The Guard expected gratuitie but I excused as pinched by the Russe I passed three dayes by Land and frozen Meares to Ossell in Liefland an Iland large and spacious vnder the King of Denmarke Raggamuffin Souldiers tooke me and vsed me roughly and carried me to Sowen Burgh and so to Orent Burgh the chiefe Townes and Castles in those parts and there deliuered me to the State-holders Lieutenant I attended his pleasure kept hardly as a Spie the Snakes creeping in my Lodging on Bed and board and Milke pans the soyle was such they did no harme I was called before the chiefe Gouernour a graue Gentleman in good fauour with the King many Halberds attending who examined me with many questions I answered I was a Subiect of the Queene of England who had peace with all Christian Kings specially with the King of Denmarke but was committed againe to custody whence hauing dismissed his company he sent for me againe by his Sonne and being priuate holding a Letter in his hand said I haue receiued sundry Letters from my friends and one of late from my daughter captiue in Mosco which sheweth of much friendship shee hath found at an English Gentlemans hand which negociates in that Court for the Queen of England My Lord said I is your daughter called Magdalen Vrkil yea Sir said he I answered I was the man that within these ten dayes she was well He sayd he could not procure her ransome and clasps me about the neck crying as did his Sonne likewise Gods Angell hath brought your goodnesse thus to me how euer disguised in this turbulent time that I might render you thankes and furtherance I desired free passe and safe conduct He feasted me ioyfully and made ready his Letters and Pasports to Captaines of Townes and Castles gaue mee a faire German striking Clocke offered his Sonne and Seruants armed to guard me out of danger which I could not accept of and commended his daughter to me I passed on to Pilton a strong Castle where King Magnus lay who vsed mee roughly because I could not drinke with him excessiuely Hee had riotously spent and giuen most of his Townes and Castles Iewels Plate c. to his followers and adopted daughters which hee receiued in Dowre with the Emperours Neece and not long after dyed miserably leauing his Queene and only daughter in very poore estate I roade thorow the Duke of Curlands Country and Prussia to Konninsburgh Meluin and Danzike in Polond Pomerania and Mickelburgh to Lubeck where I was
triall of their fidelities which vrgent necessitie of the time exacted the soules of their Patrons and Donors Saints and Wonderworkers for redemption of their sinnes and soules command and they must prepare their best thoughts without sophisticall refusals Vpon these Rhetoricall threats at the Prouinciall Conuocation called in the great Consistory of the Holy Ghost the Oath of Souereigntie was ministred in the Citie of Mosco Some feare there was that he did ayme at all After many disputes and allegations which appeare in the Originall prepared for the Kings audience hee hauing intelligence by priuy Spyes from their Register framed delayes of audience meane whiles thundering threats to be carried by his Instigators to their eares He cals forty of the most pragmaticall tels them hee vnderstands of their consultations and that they were the principall whom his mild Relation of his disaduentures and the peoples miseries had not mollified What shall we render you for reward the Nobilitie and people cry out that you haue got all the treasure in the Land by trading in all kind of Merchandises taking the benefit of all other mens trauels being priuiledged to pay no Custome to our Crowne nor charge of warres and by terrifying the best sort of our Subiects You haue gotten by due computation the third part of the Townes Royalties and Villages of this Kingdome into your Possessions by your Witchery Inchantments and Sorcery You buy and sell the soules of our people you liue a most idle life in all pleasure and delicacie commit most horrible sinnes Extortion Briberie and excessiue Vsurie You abound in all the bloudie and crying sinnes Oppression Gluttony Idlenesse Sodomitry and worse if worse may be with beasts We haue much to answere before God to suffer you to liue and so many more worthy to die for you God forgiue my taking part with you Did not the Pope of late by his Nuncio earnestly perswade to haue the Supremacie ouer you and to dispose of all your Places and Reuenues Hath not the Greeke Church often sollicited vs for the change of your Metropolitan Sea by mediation of the Patriarke of Alexandria Yea and often I haue beene moued for your dissolution to the reparation of thousands of my ancientest and poorest Nobility from whose Ancestors most of your Reuenues came and to whom it most iustly belongs that haue spent their liuings and liues for your safeties and enrichings and my rich Subiects are impouerished thorow your rapine and deuillish Illusions A faire Example wee haue of that valorous King of England Henry the Eighth your Reuenues being much more besides your standing treasure then your prodigall and luxurious maintennence can expend By which meanes our Nobilitie and seruiceable Subiects are decayed and our treasure so exhausted that we are inforced by the secret inspiration by the Soules and holy Saints the holy workers of Wonders from whom you professe to hold that infinite treasure not yours that lies as a dead talent in your custodies put to no Religious vse In their names and all the Donors and Benefactors we coniure and command that by such a day lest you be all then through the plague of Gods iust wrath deuoured by wild beasts of the Forrest who attend the execution of your iudgement with a more sudden and fearefull death then befell the falshood of Ananias and Saphyras deniall you bring vs a faithfull and true Inuentorie what treasure and yeerely Reuenues euery of your Houses haue in possession Necessitie will not permit delay nor excuse for the contrary By that time we intend to call a Parliament Royall to be Iudges of our vrgent necessitie for defence of our Realme against the Kings and Princes of Poland Swethia Lituania and Denmarke all combined and our Rebels confederated with the Crimme and to bee witnesses also of the discharge of our dutie to God and his Angels to incite you in their name and his poore distressed people for whose necessities and preseruation of you all we are thus earnest their so miserable estates lying yet in your hands and power in time to remedie and sustaine The chiefe of the Clergy often assembled and dissembled deuising with the discontented Nobility to make warre and resist But they wanted sufficient Commanders and were otherwise vnprouided of Armes Hereof the Emperour tooke aduantage and proclaymed the heads of those Houses to be Traytors endites twenty of the principall and chargeth them with Treasons and other odious crimes hauing fitted pregnant proofes to manifest the same to be true He commands his great wild Beares to be brought out of their darke Caues kept of purpose for such pastimes at Slobida Velica Vpon Saint Izaies day in a spacious place walled about seuen of the principall fat bellied Fryers were brought forth one after another each with his Crosse and Beads in one hand and through the Emperours great fauour a Bore-speare of fiue foot in length in the other hand for his defence A wilde Beare was let loose which ranging against the wall sented the Fryer and made more mad with the peoples shouting and cry runnes at him fiercely and crusheth his head body bowels legs and armes as a Cat doth a Mouse and hauing thus deuoured or torne the Fryer was shot and killed by the Gunners Then was another Fryer and a fresh Beare in like sort committed and likewise serued and so the rest of which only the last had so much skill and agility that setting the end of his Speare in the ground and guiding it to the breast of the Beare he ranne himselfe thorow on it and both dyed in the place This Fryer was canonized for a valiant Saint by the rest of his liuing Brethren of Michalla Swett in Susdal Seuen other Fryers were condemned to be buryed aliue Hereupon the Metropolites Bishops Monkes and Fryers of all Houses resorted with Petitions and Prostrations to pacifie the Emperour not only suffering his Ghostly Father to absolue him but acknowledging the others to haue suffered iustly hoping that it would be example to all which professed holy Orders They all their Treasurers and Heads of all the chiefe Monasteries and Nunneries did in the name of themselues and the soules of their holy founders present a true and perfect Inuentory of all their Treasure Moneyes Townes Lands and Reuenewes particularly belonging to any Saint which commended the same to their trust and custodies successiuely for the euerlasting mayntenance of those holy Seminaries and Sanctuaries hoping and assuredly beleeuing that his sacred Soule in commemoration of all others will not suffer any violation in his age which must passe away with accounts before the Trinity of things in all Ages done if otherwise that it would please him to giue them some authenticall discharge to remayne to Posteritie I haue with my best skill translated thus much verbatim out of the Originall These Inchantments preuented their dissolution but preuayled not against the Emperours resolute demand of 300000.
