who resisting their fair Words they began to use violence which she finding suddenly snatched a Ponyard from the side of one of them and stabbed him to the Heart which the rest perceiving fled But the Maid not yet satisfied for the Dishonour done her went and complained to the Caddi who finding it done in a drunken Fit had the rest well bastinadoed For this Disgrace our Janizary went presently to revenge himself on the poor Wine they had so abused and knockt out all the heads of his Vessels making a solemn Vow That he would never drink Wine more Here we were alarm'd with the Noise of the Chacals an Animal of the bigness of a Fox which are here in great numbers Once in an hour they would begin to howl and as soon as one began the whole Plain round about was filled with the Noise of them Next Morning we went to Sedjaqui to dinner which is a Village SEDJAQUI consisting of Merchants Country-Houses adorn'd with Gardens and Orchards to which they come to take the fresh Air and to course and hunt with their Grey-Hounds and Beagles of which they always keep a good Pack Here we were kindly entertain'd at Dr Pickering's House and return'd the same Evening to Smyrna We had a great desire to have seen many other Places in these Parts especially the rest of the Seven Churches mentioned in the Apocalypse But the time of the Year being past for such Expeditions the great Rains beginning to fall and the Waters being up in most of the Plains besides other Risques we were to expect we contented our selves with the Information we received of the Consul and other ingenious Merchants there who had made those Journeys and very freely let us partake of the Pleasure of their Travels without the Pains But pardon me O Heavens Do I call that Pleasure which is a Subject fit only for a Jeremiah to lament over He saw the Abomination of Desolation that was to come upon the Earth and wished that his Eyes were Fountains of Tears to weep day and night the Destruction of the Daughter of Sion With what satisfaction or content can I then invite you to come and see what Destruction the Lord hath here brought upon the Earth But it is the Lord 's doing and thence we may reap no small Advantage by considering how Just He is in all His Judgments and Faithful in all His Promises Consider we then what He who has the sharp Sword with two Edges hath pronounced against the Church of Pergamus PERGAMUS viz. That He knew their Works and where they dwelled even where the Seat of Satan is He commends them for Holding fast His Name and not Denying the Faith even when Antipas His Faithful Martyr was slain But they had those among them that taught them to Eat things offered to Idols and to commit Fornication They had those that held the Doctrine of the Nicolaites hated by Him Of all which he exhorteth them to repent otherwise He would come quickly and fight against them with the Sword of His Mouth This Church now is reduced to a very low condition There is not in the whole Town above a dozen or fifteen Families of miserable Christians that till the Ground to gain their Bread They have but one Church left dedicated to St Theodorus Bishop of Smyrna under which Bishoprick they are reduced Their own Cathedral Church which was Fifty six Paces long and Thirty two broad and stood in the heart of the City is buried in its own Ruins their Angel or Bishop remov'd and its fair Pillars adorn the Graves and rotten Carkasses of its Destroyers the Turks who are esteemed about Two or three thousand Souls in number It s other fine Church called Santa Sophia turned into a Mosque and daily prophaned with the Blasphemies of the False Prophet This Place yet preserves its antient Name PERGAMO being now called Pergamo and is situated in a fair and fruitful Plain in Corn and Pasture watered with the Cetius and Caicus This passeth by it within a Mile of it and then they go together to joyn with the Hermus It lies on the South-side of a Mountain that bounds the Plain on the North and hath the rapid Stream Selinus running by the City to the rest of its Company It is a dozen Miles from the Sea where it hath a Harbour about fifteen Hours riding from Smyrna and from Thyatira almost North-East a day and half 's Journey It was in times past adorned with a Theater the Remains of it are yet to be seen and a beautiful Palace the Residence of their Kings Attalus and Eumenes often mentioned in the Roman History It had a Castle on the top of the Hill now neglected where among some Ruins of Marble is a curious antient Inscription dedicated by the Senate and People of Pergamus to the Honour of Gaius Antius c. who had been twice Consul and Proconsul of Asia besides many other Chief Offices of several particular Provinces of that and other Places as Candia and Cyprus Eparch of Syria under the Emperour Trajanus and a great Benefactour to this Place as followeth ΓΑΙΟΝ ΑΝΤΙΟΝ ΑΥΛΟΝ ΤΟΥΛΛΙΟΝ ΑΥΛΟΥ ΥΙΟΝ ΚΟΥΑΔΡΑΤΟΝ ΔΙΣ ΥΠΑΤΟΝ ΑΝΘΥ ΠΑΤΟΝ ΑΣΙΑΣ ΣΕΠΤΕΜΟΥ ΙΡΟΥΝ Ε ΠΟΥΛΩΝΟΣ ΦΡΑΤΡΙΜ ΑΡΟΥΑΛΕΝ ΒΡΕΒΕΥΤΗΝ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΙΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟΝ ΒΕΙΘΥΝΙΑΣ ΠΡΕΣΒΕΥΤΗΝ ΑΣΙΑΣ ΠΡΕΣΒΕΥΤΗΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΝ ΕΠΑΡΧΙΑΣ ΚΑΠΠΑΔΟΚΙΑΣ ΑΝΘΥΠΑΤΟΝ ΚΡΗΤΗΣ ΚΥΠΡΟΥ ΠΡΕΣΒΕΥΤΗΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΝ ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟΝ ΛΥΚΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΜΦΙΛΙΑΣ ΠΡΕΣΒΕΥΤΗΝ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΙΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟΝ ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΟΡΟΣ ΝΕΡΟΥΑΣ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟΥ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΥ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟΥ ΔΑΚΙΚΟΥ ΕΠΑΡΧΙΑΣ ΣΥΡΙΑΣ Η ΒΟΥΛΗ ΚΑΙ Ο ΔΗΜΟΣ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΩΡΩΝ ΠΕΡΓΑΜΗΝΩΝ ΤΟΝ ΕΥΕΡΓΕΤΗΝ ΕΠΙΜΕΛΗΘΕΝΤΑ ΤΗΣ ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΕΩΣ ΤΩΝ ΣΤΑΤΙΩΤΩΝ Besides the Forty seventh Medal I before mentioned at Smyrna Monsieur Spon bought another Med. 59. on the Reverse of which is a young Figure holding two Serpents in its hand seeming to discourse with Aesculapius who was the Titular Deity of Pergamus I suppose signifying a Treaty between That and some other City for about it is writ ΠΕΡΓΑΜΕΝΩΝ Of Pergamus The Figure of which you may view and proceed to consider how he that hath the Seven Spirits of God and the Seven Stars reproacheth them of Sardis Apoc. 3.1 2 c. I know thy Works Thou hast a Name that thou livest SARDIS and art dead Be watchful and strengthen the Things that remain which are ready to die For I have not found thy Works perfect before God Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard and hold fast and repent If therefore thou shalt not watch I will come on thee as a Thief and thou shalt not know what Hour I come upon thee Thou hast a few Names even in Sardis who have not defiled their Garments and they shall walk with me in White for they are worthy He that overcometh shall be cloathed in white Rayment and I will not blot his Name out of the Book of Life but will confess his Name before My Father and before His Angels And now see how it fareth with this
