A Nevv Survey Of the Turkish EMPIRE Of their Oratories THe Fabricks of their Churches are sufficiently large and sumptuous and called by the name of Meschites in which I never could perceive any sort of fancies or imageries for Idolatry is held by them the worst of abominations but onely these or one of these inscriptions following in the Arabick Language There is no God but one and Mahomet his Prophet or One Creator and Prophets equal or None is strong as God Then there is seen a great abundance of burning Lamps the whole Church whited the Pavement covered with Mattresses and on them the Ornaments of Tapestries Neer the Church is erected a Tower of great height to the top whereof the Priest ascends before the time of Prayers and with a loud voice his ears stopped with his fingers he thrice proclaims these words God True One which Clamour or Out-cry for they have no Bells being heard the Nobility and all unbusied persons repair to Church as bound to that devotion Afterwards the said Priest descending prays with them and then they turn their faces towards Mecha And this he is tyed to do by his Office five times day and night But whosoever cometh to these Prayers must wash his hands his feet and privities and his head thrice sprinkled with water and these words pronounced Glory to my God Then their shooes put off and left at the Church-door they enter in some bare-footed others having new shooes or socks and so tenderly touch the ground Women come not into Churches as being not excis'd and for fear of disturbing mens devotions but meet apart in severed places altogether shut off from eyes and ears of men and more seldome frequent their Churches except in time of Passover or Easter and on Fridays which days from Mahomet's Traditions for distinction and imitation they almost respect as much as Jews their Sabbaths or Christians the Lords day They pray from nine a clock at night till twelve and

wholly destroys them and their Province with fire and sword ruining their Towns and Castles some by violence and force some by craft and treachery customary with wicked men and Turks and so totally vanquished and conquered them And after a few Months had passed this Bassa beholding the Earls rich Provinces and neighbouring with his he took or made occasions to invade him whom at length he kill'd and so reduced all his Territories under the Turkish Government Thus this seditious Atheist Traytor to his Country and his Brethren most ignominiously lost his life for such are the Turks rewards to whomsoever by craft policy or villanous fraud he can lay hold on or ensnare The like was done with some Noble-men of Hungary whom they reduced to miserable captivity Wherefore most Christian Monarchs the cruelties of this Tyrant ought with all industry and vigilance be both feared and prevented lest considering your fair Provinces and viewing them with a fascinating eye he find you disagreeing and thereby infeebled he assault you on all fides not only Candia Calabria Malta and Sicily but even Italy France Spain and Germany and prove an universal scourge and terrour to all Christendome They are wise who by others harms prevent their own you are concerned when your neighbors house is fired But not to trouble you in this kinde I recommend to you most prudent Governours the correction and amendment of this great errour and return to the deplorable calamities and afflictions our Brethren suffer under the yoke of Tribute in the Turks Dominions where some with chains about their necks are dragged through sharp and spiny parts of Thracia and lesser Asia with naked feet in thirst and hunger and if by labour of long journeys diseases or other griefs they die as often happens to men of Quality and bred in ease are hurled stript in the next ditch though not half dead to the care of ravenous fowls others that is young people of either sex endure perforce the filthy lusts of their buyers and their defencers with hideous cryes and howlings of violated and vitiated people the age of six years not defending them others ignorant in husbandry or Mechanick Arts and literated men who are least saleable are for long time driven from Town to Town from Street to Street and being once sold compell'd with clubs and scourges to learn Trades and daily employments in base businesses and grievous pains others of more robustious strength are made slaves to Gallies tied by the legs with chains and most miserably tortured whose sad calamities the power of humane wit cannot express in words And if these poor unfortunate souls could have foreknown that miserable being they 'd rather have chosen a thousand deaths If pains of life and death were e'er commix'd together yea if to live long and many days and die every hour were ever extant it is in Turkie Egyptian servitude Babylonian banishment Assyriack captivity Roman destruction are toyes and trifles to these calamities People who live as it were in the firy Furnace of the Chaldean Hut and crying up to heaven with sighs and groans O Lord how long arise and forsake us not in the end and when oppressed and grieved beyond all hope they turn their eyes again on their own Countries likewise in captivity yet wish themselves rather slaves there then where they are their prayers are not for liberty but change of place and for that cause indifferent for death or or life they turn Fugitives and some leaving their flocks in deserts their Oxen at plow expose themselves to devouration some murthering their Masters and their Children some burning their houses in revenge some run away hiding themselves in Caves and hollow Trees with fearful wants and dangers which I here forbear having given the Reader some taste thereof before And now they turn their cries to you all Christian Monarchs and Governours of Common-wealths Imploring and beseeching the Pope of Rome who should be Father of our Country and all sorts of men belonging to Christ his holy Church That they uniting all sects of men in peace and concord would labour to suppress this common enemy and restore their Brethren unto liberty Imploring and beseeching the Emperor and all Imperial Princes Dukes Cities and Nobility to cool their hot Calentures of ambition and avarice of neighbours rights and set apart domestick quarrels and call together and unite their strengths against so cruel an Usurper and hostile Enemy and labour to defend their present or else recover their lost Territories and then be assured the circumspection of the Spanish Souldiery the warlike fierceness of the Belgick Provinces the quick prudence of the Italian w●… the robustiousness and stoutness of the Germans will be easily perswaded by the King of Romans against this universal Enemy remembring you withal No Crown sits so gloriously on an Emperor or Princes head as that which beareth a true Title of the Peoples safety and lawful Liberties Imploring and beseeching the most Christian King of France to employ his helping and heroick Arms in safeguard according to his Title of his Christian Brethrens liberties and his own from Turkish Tyranny Imploring and beseeching the most mighty and potent Kings of England Poland Denmark Swedeland with all Republicks Cities and Corporations Christian to unite and joyn in one their strengths and powers in war against this cankered common Enemy of their Religion Crowns and Dignities Imploring and beseeching all sorts of Powers and Authorities spiritual and temporal to imploy their diligence and shew the worthiness of their callings by correction and amendment of wicked and dissolute loose livers by whom God's wrath is kindled against us and to reduce them to holy Rules of Christian Exercises in living justly soberly and religiously and so render God a true account of Stewardship and prevent the miseries have befallen others drowsie and sleeping inadvertencies Imploring and beseeching both young and old of all sects and conditions godly Christians religious and secular beloved Fathers dear Brethren respected Friends Neighbours and Companions that you all with humble face and countenance pure and sincere hearts and hands devout minds mournful voyces and weeping eyes condole grieve and lament the miseries the calamities of Turkish captives and call unto the Lord of Hosts with violence in pity to his people to avert his anger and not to give them up to the perpetual rebuke of this wicked Infidel most cruel Enemy of Christian Religion and Liberty but to inspire the mindes of Christian Kings and Governours with light of his holy Spirit to reduce them all to unity and concord against this ravenous and insatiable Dragon and grant others such success that these wretched captives their Christian Brethren may be restored to liberty in the worship and adoration of their God our Christ and onely serve him who is for ever blessed that at length the Christian World may be refreshed and eas'd from such perpetual slavery An Exhortation against the Turk I Have often
