Ant the Queen of Sheba's Parrot Esdras his Ass Ionas his Whale the 7 Sleepers Dog and Mahomet's Camel Which sufficiently demonstrates the Author to be Ignorant Impudent and Foolish The Government of the Kingdom of Persia. THe Government of Persia is purely Tyranical for the King has the sole Power of life and death over all his Subjects independent from his Council and without any Trials at Law He can put to what death he pleases the chief Lords of the Kingdom no man daring to dispute the reason Nor is any Soveraign in the World more absolute than he The King deceasing and leaving Male Issu●… behind him the Eldest ascends the Throne while his Brothers are kept in the Haram or Castle and their Eyes put out and if the King have the least jealously they are instantly put to death yea the Children of the Kings Brothers and Sisters likewise Formerly they were not so rigorous but only mov'd a red hot Iron to and fro before their Eyes But Sha Sefi perceiving that the poor unhappy Princes had some sight left ordered their Eyes to be digged out of their Heads Sha Sefi's cruelty spared not his Eldest Son Sha Abhas the Heir of his Throne ordering one of the Eunuchs to move an Iron before his Eyes no man knowing a reason but the Eunuch compassionating the young Prince moved an Iron yet not red hot before his Eyes and teaching him to counterfeit blindness preserv'd his sight till his Father lay upon his Death-bed when being very Penitent for having put out the Eyes of his Eldest Son to whom the Crown did of right belong the Eunuch seeing the King so sadly afflicted and ready to give up the Ghost assured him that he would restore the Prince to his sight and brought him with perfect Eyes to his Bed-side the sight of whom prolonged the Kings life till next day and gave him time to command all the Gaandees of the Court to obey Sha Abbas his Eldest Son as his lawful Successor There are several of these blind Princes at Ispahan and I knew one particularly saith my Author a person of excellent natural parts As blind as he is he is a great lover of Curiosities and has built him a House at Ispahan worth seeing He is overjoyed when he meets with any Rarities out of Europe feeling them in his hands and causing his Eunuchs to tell him the meaning of every thing He is a great admirer of Clock-work and Watches and to know what a Clock it is has little points set up in the Dial-plate and a half hand which points to the hour with certain Figures which he makes of soft Wax and sets in order upon a Table he will cast up an Account exactly Several other good quilities are eminent in him and it is a miserable spectacle that a Man should be reduced to that deplorable condition only because he is of the Blood-Royal of Persia This State is distinguished like most of those in Europe into three bodies First that of the Sword which answers to the Nobility and consists of the Kings houshold the Kans or Governors and all the Souldiery The second that of the Gown comprehending all those that belong to the Law and Courts of Justice The third is composed of Merchants Handicrafts men and Labourers Among other cunning Contrivances of Sha Abbas to know the true state of his Affairs without trusting too much to his Ministers he oft went disguised into the City like an ordinary man under pretence of buying and selling to discover whether false Weights and Measures were used so going one Evening in the habit of a Countrey-man to a Bakers to buy a Man of Bread and thence to a Cooks to buy a Man of Roast-meat a Man is six pound sixteen ounces to the pound having bought his bargains he return'd to the Court where causing them to be weighed exactly he found the Bread to want 57 Drams and the Meat 43. Upon which he fell into a rage against the Officers and the Governor of the City whose Belly he had caused to have been ript up but for the intercession of his Lords reproaching them for their negligence of the publick good and of the injustice of false Weights how sadly the cheat fell upon poor Men who having great Families and thinking to give them 800 Drams of Bread by that fraud deprived them of 143 then turning to the Lords he demanded what Justice ought to be done to those people none daring to open their Mouths while he was in that passion he commanded a great Oven to be made in the Market-place and a Spit big and long enough to roast a Man and the Oven to be heated all Night and a Fire to be kindled near the Oven Next Morning the King caused the Cook and Baker to be apprehended and led quite though the City with two Men going before proclaiming to the people We are going to put the Baker into a red hot Oven in the Piazza to be baked alive for selling bread by false Weights and the Cook is to be roasted alive for having sold Meat by false Weights Thus these two Men served for an Example not only to Ispahan but to all the Kingdom every one dreading the severe Justice of Sha Abbas Sha Abbas his successor acted almost such another piece of severity for having made one Iafer Kan a great Lord who kept a magnificent Train Governouor of Asterabat At first he was very mild but at last began to exact such sums from the people that his violences reached the Kings Ear who being one day drinking with his Lords and seeing the Master of his Musick in the Room who was a merry Droll and had always some pleasant news to tell the King he was pleased to ask him what the people said of Iafer-Kan adding that he had made him Governour of divers Provinces and had never heard any complaint of him but now he was accused of Tyranizing over the people The Musick Master being a meer Flatterer and knowing that Iafer-Kan was extreamly beloved of the King confidently averd'd that the Governor was falsly accused and that he had always known him apter to give than receive There was present an Agis lately returned from a Pilgrimage to Mecca him the King also asked what was his opinion of Iafer-Kan and his Government being a person long acquainted with him The Agis thinking to please the King returned the same answer The King who was well informed of the Kans behaviour turning to the Lords present What think you said he of these two Flatterers that absolutely know the contrary to what they speak And commanded two of the Musick Masters Teeth to be pluckt out and driven into the head of the Agis which had like to have cost him his life being a very old Man As for Iafer-Kan he was disgraced for a time but his excellent Accomplishments soon restored him again to favour Murther is severely punished nor will Money save the Criminal The
