Mulley Sidan and our new King Mulley Om Hamet ben Abdela not farre from Marocus betwixt the mountaines and the City both sides very strong Yet in mans iudgement Mulley Sidan of most force in horse and foote and three and thirty peeces of good field ordnance The other no ordnance and a few peecemen his chiefest force Larbies of Sahara a place distant hence twenty daies iourney These armed with Launces demy Launces and Azagies and many Larbies that came in to him by the way as he came some hee forced some voluntary And at the day of battaile his people beganne to bee dismaied perceiuing Mulley Sidan was very strong But hee encouraged them saying as they had found that come to passe which formerly hee told them so now they should see the like and bid them not feare his ordnance for onely three peeces should goe off and doe no harme the rest should take fire but not shoote a bullet and hee would bee formost and goe in the face of the ordnance and finding his wordes true then at his commaund to fall vppon his enemies So hauing satisfied his people with these perswasions sent spies to know where Mulley Sydans ordnance lay and so came right before it with all his troopes And comming within daunger at Mulley Sidans commaund they gaue fire hauing both Moores and Christians that knew how to mannage his ordnance So three peeces went off and did no hurt But the bullets hard sing in the ayre a great height and the rest of the ordnance tooke fire and burnt out the powder but shot no bullet that remained in so comming nearer the Musketiers plaied vpon them with foure thousand shot yet hurt no man So then they came on and Mulley Sidans people gaue way and fled They pursued them and slue Mulley Abdela ben Hammet Alkaide Hammet Benzebe●re and many moe Alkaides and betweene foure and fiue thousand people So put his people into Marocus and lay himselfe in the field Hee hath not entered into Marocus neither purposeth till he haue destroied his enemies and put peace in his country So Mulley Sidan fled came down to Saphia with his Hackam Abdela Kather Abdela Sadocke and the Iew Benwash and a few others besides his mother and women and luggedge hee made account to gather a head againe and to giue a new battaile But in vaine the Larbies made a faire shew and came in to him and receiued some mony cloth and linnens from him and so would haue betrayed him Whereupon he hauing some of his brother Mulley Shecks children with him to make frendship with his brother sent him his children and wrote to him very kindly So betwene them I accountis peace So staied heere so long as he durst for that Mulley Om Hammet persued him Whereby hee was forced to fraight a ship of Marcelleis heere in port with a French Ambassador who came to him vpon bussines out of France and a Fleming that was in the roade and tooke his Treasure and luggage some Women and Children some Al●aids and Seruants and Benwash and his followers and went for Santa Cruz and there Landed in Sus and from thence to Tarradante and there since remained what force he hath or of his proceeding wee here know not the certaintie Some fewe dayes after his departure came our new King into these parts halfe a dayes iourney from Saphia and all the Larbies came in to him submitted themselues and he receiueth all into fauor pardoning what passed For hee sayth hee comes to make peace and is sent from God because of the euill gouernment of Mulley Hammets sonnes the Xeriffes and to stablish their Prophets religion that was decaied and to fight against the Christians and recouer those parts of Christendome the king of Spaine holds from them as Granada Andaluzia c and tels his people they shall yet see great wonders come to passe where they shall acknowledge he is sent of God he promiseth them Spaine Italy and France and hauing put peace in these countries there must now appeare a Bridge in the mouth of the straights which hath been in former time and so recorded in their writings and sunk in the sea Now in his time it must appeare to carrie ouer the Moores and hauing gayned these countries he must raigne forty yeeres and then must com Christ whom they call Sidie Nicer and he must surrender all to him for he must iudge the world and then all must end But for England Flanders or other parts they haue not to doe they will haue friendship with vs and desire trade and traffique with vs in loue and friendship and would haue his myracles and acts made knowne abroade the world I was in his Almahalla at first fowre dayes and spake with him and saw his behauiour and found him very humble and courteous with many good speeches and pittying the iniuries all the Christians haue by the ill gouernment of his Predecessors or Vsurpers as he counted them A man of some thirty six yeers very ciuill very plaine in habit a course tucke vpon his head of died callico a holland Shirt an Alheick of lile grogram a plain sword by his side hanged with a plaine leather thong a man of great wisdome and learning as none like amongst them and a good Astrologer a great Polititian And hath drawne vnto him Alkaide Azus of whom you haue heard the principall Councellor of the land Shecke Z●mb●e Shecke Glowie and many other Saints and principall men and since his comming maried the Widow of Mulley Bufferris And now diuers libel in Larby verse against Mulley Sidan and his proceedings and of further misery must come vnto him till he and his race be consumed And for his gouernment at Morocus placed his Hackam to see euery one haue peace and a very honest man for iustic● So Morocus is in peace and quietnes and amongst the Larbies he demands his due either corne horse cattell or money and tels them he coms to put peace amongst them neither to rob thē nor yet to lose his right not to giue them pay but force them to serue him as need requireth if they yeelded not to such conditions his sword should force them he came amongst them as a guest and was to be entertained by them and not to giue them to gaine their fauour By which speeches myracles past and policy hee hath made them all tremble so he puts all to silence Som cōtent themselues of the greatest in former time to heare and see shew obedience and say nothing others change with the time and haue great imploiments and professe loialty to him and renounce their old Master what the euent may be I know not for we haue learned the hearts of Kings are in the hands of the Lord he turneth them as riuers of waters which way hee pleaseth But hauing beene in his Almahalla seeing the manner of it his plainnesse and policy mixt with a shew of mercy and

a kind of Saintish gouernment I feare mee it will come to passe according to the Fable in Aesop when th● Frogs desired a King a blocke was throwne downe into the water which dash at the first made them feare him but lying still they grew familiar and sunned themselues vpon him and grew in dislike so had the Storke But it were to be wished they would now content themselues when peace and iustice is offered If he doe continue it is like to be with trouble and bloud-shed for already the people begin to disobey and the Shabenites Mulley Sidans Cast are got to the Mountaines neare Marocus and haue procured some of those Brebers as wee tearme them to ioine with them and one Mulley Om Hammet Bolassom and these haue robbed to the gate of Marocus wherupon this King sent forces to expell them but found them so strong that they durst not meddle with them whereupon was forced to rehale his Almahalla some fifteen dayes since and is gone towards the Mountaines where at this present hee is neere frugo and what hath passed since we know not only expect euery howre to heare some good newes that he may preuaile but here it is greatly feared because many of his owne people be departed from him and those Larbies he caried along with him out of these parts run away and returned so if he lose the other bee the friends of Mulley Sidan and he is expected againe But the beginning and rising of this king and his procedings are very strange He is a great saint and learned in the lawe and was sought vnto by many the principallest of the land for his blessings and fauour according to their superstition he findes it in ancient books writ of him by way of prophecy that such a man of that place named Messa whence he is by name Mulley Om Hamet be● Abdela should bee sent at this time to put peace in the country and to reuiue their law and put out the race of Mulley Sidan and name of Xeriffes and so to raigne forty yeers till Christ come to iudgement his beginning must be hee must strike vp a drum hee should finde in that Zow●● 〈◊〉 Missa and then should repaire vnto him people to make him king The manner of his proceedings and what encounters hee should haue and what he found written all the Talbies and learned men now do confesse to find the same written in their bookes At his beginning he put forth only one tent and a kitchen so resorted to him the Shrokies a saintish people in their lawe but otherwise in behauiour very Sauages These without pay came to him to the number of 150. or 200. at most and with their helpe hee brake Alhadge Lemiere and his forces seruants of Mulley Sidan beeing 5000. strong so more of the sayd Shrokies came to him to the number of 5000. with them and such people as ioined with him in the way he ouerthrew Mulley Sidans forces thrise before the battell And so came to some strong places in the Mountaines neuer brought to subiection in the time of Mulley Sidan nor his father Those with-stood him but hee ouercame them and made them pay him what he demanded serue and obey him so forced the principallest Shecks in the countrie to come to him After this marched towards Morocus and by the way was to pass a riuer and the daie before he warned his people in passing such a riuer no man to take vp water in their hands to drinke if he did he would die After comming to the riuer weary and hot many not remembred or not regarded his words but tooke vp water in their hands drunk and anon after dyed the rest all escaped which strooke a feare into them to breake his command and a perswasion that hee is more then a man For they say hee is their Fatamie that is a Sauiour Next in comming to Morocus diuers great Saints and Sheckes resorted together and would goe to visite him that they might see what hee was and vnderstand whether that which passed was true or not So comming after salutations hee told them they came to enquire and see what newes and what wonders hee did and so meant to depart Now therefore being men of account and Talbies hee would satisfie them that they might satisfie others So appointed them a time to come againe and to bring such bookes hee nominated with them so they did Then he willed them to turne to such places and reade what they found written of him so they did To wit both his name his beginning and course he was to take and withall found written seauen speciall markes or signes hee must haue vppon his bodie a wart aboue his right eie a blacke tooth before a bunch of hayre growing betweene his shoulders a signe of a ring in the palme of his right hand the signe of a spurre vpon the outside of his right legge the rest I remember not But these and the rest hee shewed them which seeing they did honor him and swore to him to serue him and to liue and die with him or in his cause Next comming to a place named Dets in the mountains very strong where much people were gathered together against him so that some of his owne people began to faint and be afraied hee bad them feare nothing for that before to morrow they should see there was more with him then against him so that night he cōmanded to take vp his Almahalla march towards that place Dets so they did and all night long to the thinking of al his people there marched another Almahalla greater then theirs and went before them and comming to the place Dets vannished away and at sight of it his enemies fled leaft the place and goods al to the spoile so comming thither had the spoile of all without fighting This our country man M. W. affermeth with diuers others vpon solemne oth to haue seene At his being in these parts my selfe with others went to welcome him he entertained vs very kindly told vs he would shew the English what fauour he could and permit them free trade willing vs to take knowledge that he was sent by Gods appointment to releeue the oppressed as wel Moores and strangers as Christians and al sorts and what we had seene and heard to aduertise saying wee should see yet more strange matters come to passe then what had passed His meaning as we gather is the conquering of Spaine France and Italy with which oppinion hee possesseth the foolish and credulous Moores Now hauing bin tedious to trouble you with such news as the time affoords not al but part as it comes into my memory I pray you take it in good part the censure hereof I leaue to your wisdome and confideration For my owne part I am perswaded they bee delusions of the diuell done by witch-craft permitted by the Lord to seduce them to further error God deliuer vs Christians well

S. Another letter receiued from another friend at the same time dated the tenth of September GOod Sir pardon me in that at my going away I came not to take my leaue of you the ship went downe two daies sooner than I made account off But for all your courtesies alwaies towards mee I heartily thanke you and remaine your debter c. For the state of this country and of the wars of this new King I know Master S. hath enlarged you more than I can a great deale But for all this and the troubles Mulley Sidan hath had it is thought he will be king again and that in short time staying but for a new Moone to giue battaile This Saint or king told his Shrokies which came with him at first his comming was to take Mazagant Sute and Tanger not to sight against the Moores vnlesse they would resist and not let him take the Christian townes Hee said againe that Mulley Sidan and his followers were Christians one who robbed all men without reason killed and slue many men vpon no occasions but in his angry minde And withall said hee dranke wine and eate oppium therefore said it could not bee but that hee was an Vn●rony which amongst them they hold to bee an vniust or vngodly man as they say wee Christians are His Shrokies two thousand fiue hundreth almost all footmen with no peeces but halfe Launces that was their weapons bare-headed men Neuer in their liues they weare shert or cloth to their backes but an Alheik Which Shrokies haue left this king and are all gonne for their country This kings forces are of Larbies which are horsemen euery day they flee from him more and more As Alkaid Syde whom you know Alkaid of this place is come from him with sixe hundreth horse So that very shortly Mulley Sidan is expected to come heare againe And thus with my commendations to your good selfe and all our good friends I commit you to the Almighty Yours assured to command G. B. SInce the writing and almost printing of these two letters there is nevves come and that for certaine as I am giuen to vnderstand that Mulley Sidan is defeated againe and hath lost this last battaile so the Saint victorious still What the euent of all these troubles may bee it is hard to gesse This country hauing beene so long time euer since the death of olde Mulley Hamet so vnsetled and subiect to so manifold alterations so many yeeres almost so many alterations or gouernment The crowne imperiall tossed to and fro from one to another as it were a tennis ball rather then a diadem Non vnquam tulit documenta fo rs maior● quam fragili loco starent super●● And that may serue for another vse a small vse of all either that hath passed or may hereafter fall out whereof if any thing else come to my hands worthy obseruation I shall not withhold it to make the rest answerable to the Preface FINIS Act. 17. 21 Forty yeers saith this new saintish king or Prophet of his then Christ must come to iudgement as in the letter Mat. 24. 24 Ioh. 2. 18. 1.
