be stung to Death by Serpents so one of those Mountebanks who keep them to shew tricks to the People brought two Serpents to do Execution upon this wretched man whom he found naked only a little covering before and trembling Then having angred these venemous Creatures he put one to his Thigh which presently twined it self about that part till it came near his Groin and there bit him till Blood followed The other was fastned to the outside of the other Thigh twisting it round and there bit him likewise the Wretch kept upon his Feet a quarter of an hour before which the Serpents were taken from him but complained extreamly of a Fire that tormented all his Limbs and his whole Body began to swell exceedingly like Nafidius bit by a Libyan Serpent called a Prester and about half an hour after the Soul of that unnatural Monster left his groaning Carcase It happened a few years before Sir Thomas Row was Ambassador in this Court in 1618. that a Jugler of Bengal a place famous for Witches brought an Ape before the Mogol who loved Novelties that did many strange feats the King to try his skâ—…l pluckt a Ring off his Finger and gave it one of his Boys to hide whom the Ape presently discovered several other tryals he made wherein the Ape did his part to admiration At length this strange and unexpected fancy came into the Kings Head There are many disputes said he about that true Prophet which should come into the World we are for Mahomet The Persians magnifie Mortis Ally the Hindoos or Heathens extol Bramon Ram. and others the Iews are for Moses and the Christians for Christ adding several others to the number of twelve who have all their several Followers in that part of the World He then caused them twelve names to be written on twelve several Scrolls and put together to try if the Ape could draw out the name of the true Prophet this done the Ape put his paw amongst them and pull'd out the name of Christ The Mogol a second time caused these twelve names to be writ again in twelve other Scrolls and Characters and put together when the Ape again pluckt forth the name of Christ as before Mahomet Chan a great Favourite present said it was an Imposture of the Christians though none were then there and desired to make a third trial which granted he put but eleven of those names together reserving the name of Christ in his hand the Ape searching as before pluckt forth his empty paw and so twice or thrice together the King demanding the reason was answered that happily the thing he looked for was not there the Ape was bid search for it who putting out those eleven names one after the other in a seeming indignation rent them then running to Mahomet Chan caught him by the hand where the name of Christ was concealed which he opened and held up to the King but did not tear it as the former Upon which the Mogol took the Ape and gave his Keeper a good Pension to keep him near about him calling him the Divining Ape And this was all which followed upon this admrable event except the great wonder and amazement of the people the truth whereof saith my Author was confirmed to me by several Persons of different Religions who all agreed in the story and the several circumstances thereof I cannot but relate a remarkable example of a gross Flatterer but a great Favourite of this King noted to be a great neglecter of God believing it Religion enough to please the Mogol his Master though a Souldier of approved valour This man on a time sitting in dalliance with one of his Women she pluckt an hair from his breast about his Nipple in wantonness without designing any hurt This little inconsiderable wound by an unparallel'd fare became the occasion of his death beginning presently to fester and in a short time turned to an incurable Canker When he found he must needs dye he spake these notable words worthy to be recorded Who would not have thought but that I who have been so long a Souldier should have died in the face of an Enemy either by a Sword Lance Arrow Bullet or some such Instrument of death But now though too late I am forced to confess that there is a great God above whose Majesty I have ever despised who needs no bigger Lance than an hair to kill an Atheist or a despiser of his Divinity and so desiring these his last words might be told the King his Master he died The Great Mogol is a Prince of much Wealth and Power having multitudes of Souldiers in constant pay and in his ordinary removes which are not usually above ten mile at once hath such an infinite number of men and other Creatures attending him whose drink is water that in a little time as it was said of the mighty Host of Sennacherib they are able to drink up Rivers Aureng-zeb if he be alive is about 86 yeurs of Age and has lived in Tents several years the Son of Savagi being still in Rebellion against him In 1699.

If Coryat had lived he designed to have Writ his last Travels to in and out of East-India for he resolved like another Ulysses to have rambled up and down the World at least ten years to see Tartary in all the vast parts thereof with as much as he could of China and after that to have visited the Court of Prester Iohn in Ethiopia who is there called by his own people Ho Biot The King with many other places which if he had lived to perform and publish might have been of good use since he was both a particular and faithful Relator of what he saw ever disclaiming that bold Liberty of Travellers in Speaking and Writing what they please of remote parts where they cannot be easily contradicted So believing him an honest Historian I shall give some Account of his Foot-steps and Flittings up and down who while he lived being like a perpetual motion tho' dead ought not to be forgotten In 1612.

at his success for assuring his new Dominion sought to win the minds of the vanquished to him and to contract a firm League with the Lords of his own Countrey But scarce were the minds of the Nobility united when Miminique Son of Manimassah with a great Army of Gala's and others make War upon him of whose design his Father was not ignorant having forgot the kindness received from Flonikerrys Arms in settling him in his new acquired Dominions Flonikerry drew together his Forces to whom the Nobles joining theirs he formed a considerable Army wherewith marching toward the Enemy they came to a Battle wherein by the multitude of their Enemies they were at first put to a disorderly retreat which Flonikerry who was of an undaunted Spirit perceiving digged with his hand a hole in the ground and put his Knees in it with a resolution either to die there or to remain Conquerour so after a long and sharp contest being even covered with Arrows he was slain on the spot However his Men to revenge their Princes death rallied and gave a fresh charge with such fury that they turned the Fortune of the day and became sole Masters of the Field The death of Flonikerry was kept secret till they sent for his Brother Zillimanque to take his charge who accepting the same pursued the Victory and drew near the Enemies Camp which he soon surprized and gave as a spoil to his Souldiers After which he marched farther the People all along yielding subjection without blows whereby they soon became Masters of the whole Countrey and gain'd the reputation of a Mighty People After which he was poisoned as was thought leaving behind him several Sons who were young and not capable to manage their Fathers Conquests However Flansire his eldest was admitted Successor during whose Minority his Uncle Iemmah undertook the Government but Flansire growing to years took the Royal Authority into his own hands and to shew that he inherited as well his Fathers Valour as Countreys resolves to inlarge his bounds yet farther and to that end marcht with his Forces over the River Galinas or Hens taking all the adjacent places as far as Sierra Leona and placing Garrisons therein having settled his new Conquests he return'd to his own Native Principality where he spent a good part of his Life in peace and quietness when on a sudden there came News from Sierra Liona that Kandaqualla his Governour was driven out thence and forced to fly with all his People to the Islands of Bannaneo not being able to withstand Falma of Dogo who with a mighty Force invaded them Flansire startled at this intelligence and knowing nothing more necessary than expedition sent to the Lords his Substitutes to raise an Army and meet him at an appointed Randezvouz but they having made a private Confederacy with Gamina their Master Flansires Brother neglected and slighted his Commands Flansire ignorant of this Combination leaving the Government of his Kingdom Wives and Children to his treacherous Brother Gamina marched with his eldest Son Flambore the present King of Quoia not doubting the Fidelity of his Provincials He went first by Land to the River of Hens and from thence in Canoes to the Isles of Bananes to take with him his People who were driven from Sierra Leona and so bringing them back thither he began a sharp War with Falma This Falma had been formerly in great favour with the King of Dogo or Hondo but having debauched one of his Wives the King was so offended that not content it should as usual be bought off with Gifts or Slaves he caused his Ears to be out off and banished him his presence but length of time so wore out the Kings Fury that Falma was again admitted to Court where he soon began to shew his Insolence and at length addrest the King in these Terms Sir King considering the wickedness committed against you my Lord and Master I am obliged to thank you for your gracious Sentence by which I am punished whereby every one that looks upon me derides and scorns me and the rather because the punishment is unusual and the like offence customarily bought off with Goods and Slaves Now as you were pleased to punish me so I desire the like offence in others may be punished in the same manner It may happen that some of the Kings Servants or Subjects may fall into the same Lapse but if this Sentence be either denied or not performed I shall complain against my Lord the King in the Ways and in the Woods to the Jannanen and Belli that is to all the Spirits and Demons The King having heard this audacious Speech notwithstanding this seeming Threat determined that the punishment inflicted on him should not follow upon all But yet to pacifie him he made him General of an Army to recover Sierra Leona out of the hands of Kandaqualla who presided there for Flansire To repel this Invader Flansire as we said coming to Sierra Leona with an Army and making sharp War at length by the help of some Europeans he fell upon the Town of Falmahah and with Axes cutting down the Treewall at last they forced an entrance and set the Houses on fire whose fury soon increased to an impossibility of being quenched whereupon Falma unable to resist fled whom young Flambore pursued and though he mist him yet got great Reputation the People stiling him The Pursuer of Falma Flansire having reconquered these Countries and setled Kandaqualla retreated with his Forces intending to return to his Wife and Children But on the way he had notice that his Brother Gamana had usurped his Kingdom killed all his Sons he could meet with taken his Wives for himself and had set up his Residence at a convenient place near the River of Hens to intercept and hinder his Brothers approach this Rebellion of his Brother was attended with the Invasion of Manou who dwelt near Cape Miserado They fell into his Countrey at Cape de Monto where they burnt the Town and led away all they met with for Slaves Flansire understanding these mischiefs marched toward the River Maqualbary with all speed complaining to the Kanou and Iananies that is to God and the Angels of his distress in these words To you it is known that my Father left me rightful Heir to his Kingdom which falls to me by the Laws of the Land seeing I was the eldest You likewise know that my Brother hath rebelled against me and hath set himself up to be Lord be you Judges between him and me in this intended Fight and if the Cause be unjust that he manages against me let the mischief fall upon his own head Then he passed with all his Souldiers over the River where the Armies met and his Brother with great numbers of men being slain he obtained a compleat Victory but still kept the Field to be ready against any other appearing Rebels his Son Flambore went with a Squadron of Souldiers into the Woods
Mâ—…avias a valiant Souldier advanced himself and to remove all future pretensions he slew Hali with his Son Ossan and eleven of Ossans Sons but Musa Ceresin the twelsth Son made his escape From this Musa one Guine Sophie derived his Pedigree in 1360. And considering that there had been no Caliphs for many Years past he began to contrive the reviving and establishing that Honourable Dignity in his own Family He dying in the midst of his Projects left the prosecution of them to his Son Aider Sophie who being a man of great industry sanctity and power and strenghtned with the love and real affection of his people Ussan Cassanes Prince of the Armenians gave him his Daughter to Wife But Iacup the Son and successor of Ussan after his fathers Death envying the glory of Aider Sophie and fearing his power caused him to be slain and delivered his 2 Sons which he had by Iacups Sister named Ishmael and Solyman to Amazor one of his Captains to secure them in prison Amazor being of a generous temper afforded them not only liberty but gave them ingenuous education Afterward Ismael the eldest a Gentleman of promising hopes undertook to revenge the Death of his Father which he likewise performed staying Iacup and his Son Elvan After this Victory Ismael being crowned King or Sophie or Shaa of Persia he altered the form of Religion there declaring Hali and himself to be the only true Successors of Mahomet the Prophet and condemning Abubezer Haumar and Osman with the Turks their Abettors and Followers as Usurpers Rebels and Schismaticks and ordered all Books to be Burnt and all Monuments to be defaced that mentioned any thing in honour of those 3 Caliphs This difference in Religion hath created so mortal an aversion in them to each other that the Turks hold it more meritorious to kill one Persian than 70 Christians The City of Medina where Mahomet lyes buried is in Arabia 3 days Journey from the Red Sea His Tomb is inclosed within an Iron Grate and covered with green Velvet which is every year made New and sent by the Grand Seignior the old one being by the Preists cut into small peices and sold at great Rates as Reliques to the Pilgrims In the Temple where this Tomb is placed there are say'd to be 3000 Lamps of Gold and Silver wherein is Balsome and other rich odours ointments and oils continually kept burning They would impose it for a Miracle that this Tomb should hang in the Air by means of Loadstones but besides that there is no such thing for it stands on the Floor were it true there were no such wonder in it For Democrates the Atheniah by order of Ptolomy K. of Egypt undertook to make the Statue of Arsinoe all of Iron and to hang in the Air. And in the Temple of Serapis in Alexandria there was an Iron Sun that hung in the Air by the force of a Loadstone being a rare peice of Workmanship The Turks make a Pilgrimage to this Tomb and all true Musselmen are obliged once in their Lives at least to go thither To this purpose I will relate the following Story from a late Traveller into Turkey A Mahumitan having in obedience to a Religious Vow undertaken this Journey and being of the Opinion of the rest of his fellow Travellers or the Caravan as it is called that they should meet with Water at a certain Well or Cistern upon the Road had made use of the best part of their Provision as the rest had done upon the Ceremony of the Abdest or Ablution which is their washing themseives before their Devotious for they wash the best part of the Head and Neck their Arms up to the Elbows their Feet the end of the Priapus and the Posterior Orifice And for this Reason they never erect any Mosquee or Church without planting Fountains round about it for they firmly believe that their Prayers put up without these Washings and in a state of Impurity would rather draw down the Wrath of Heaven upon them than procure the blessings of God And indeed these severe Commands of washing so often are very troublesome as well to those that live in dry places far from Water as others in the Northern cold Climates so that several Turks could wish heartily that they might be permitted to change their Religion which ties them to so many inconvenient slabberings When these Pilgrims came to the Cistern where they hoped to be supplyed they found the Water dryed up by the heat of the Sun They were extreamly concerned thereat finding themselves in the midst of the Sands Deserts and heats of Arabia They knew not what course to take in that extremity of drowth which tormented them with Impatience nor had many of them Money to buy Water of those who had been more provident and indeed had not much to spare Our poor Mahumetan found himself reduced to endure a scorching drouth and ready to be buried alive in the stifling Clouds of Sand which the Wind raises in that miserable Road. inspired him with more Execrations against Mahomet and his accursed Errors tren the most zealous of the Eastern Christians could have invented for him He said He did not wish the Devil had taken Mahomet for he did not believe him so unjust as to let that Impostor escape his Claws who being the only cause of the death of so many Millions of people as perished in going to his Tomb justly deserved as many deaths in Hell as he had caused poor Creatures to suffer torments in this infamous cruel Pilgrimage But he wisht with all his heart That Heaven had Thunderstruck from above and that Hell had then swallowed in Flames the first contrive s of that accursed Alcoran and the unfortunate Propogators of the Law of Mahomet or that he himself had been born a Christian. Some Christians in the Company were much surprized to hear a Mahometan thus blaspheme his own Religion but they were told That this Person was of a Sect who were neither Turks nor Christians but a sort of Mahumetan Heretics When a Mahumetan has purified himself he goes into the Church with his Eyes fixt upon the Ground and barefoot To which end the Eastern People have Shoes or Slippers of Goats Skins dyed Yellow Red Violet or Black but none of them may wear them Green in the Turkish Dominions this being the sacred colour which Mahomet so much affected only their Emirs wear a Green Bonnet which they put on with great reverence on their Heads and is a mark of their being allied to their Great Prophet and Legislator But this is not regarded in Persia. as we may find by the following Story Sha Abbas the renowned K. of Persia was the most accomplished Prince in all the East It happened that a Turkish Ambassador one time at his Court being much concerned to see Christians as well as Mahometans wearing green Shoes and Trowses over all Persia He in the name of his Master required the King to
