thence_o in_o a_o word_n you_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o this_o great_a mogul_n make_v himself_o heir_n of_o the_o omrahs_n or_o lord_n and_o of_o the_o mansebdars_a or_o petty_a lord_n that_o be_v in_o his_o pay_n and_o which_o be_v of_o very_o great_a consequence_n that_o all_o the_o land_n of_o that_o expire_v be_v his_o propriety_n except_v some_o house_n and_o garden_n which_o he_o give_v leave_v to_o his_o subject_n to_o sell_v divide_z or_o buy_v among_o they_o as_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o sufficient_o show_v both_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a great_a store_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n in_o indostan_n though_o there_o be_v no_o mine_n and_o also_o that_o the_o great_a mogul_n the_o sovereign_n of_o the_o same_o at_o

to_o these_o riches_n the_o first_o that_o among_o those_o vast_a tract_n of_o land_n there_o be_v much_o which_o be_v nothing_o but_o sand_n and_o sterile_a mountain_n little_o till_v or_o people_v

of_o the_o governor_n who_o often_o take_v from_o they_o their_o necessary_a livelihood_n and_o sometime_o their_o very_a child_n who_o they_o make_v slave_n when_o they_o be_v not_o able_a or_o be_v unwilling_a to_o pay_v other_o have_v abandon_v the_o field_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o despond_v out_o of_o the_o consideration_n that_o they_o labour_v only_o for_o other_o have_v cast_v themselves_o into_o town_n or_o into_o army_n to_o serve_v there_o for_o porter_n or_o wait_a man_n and_o many_o have_v flee_v to_o the_o land_n of_o the_o rajas_n because_o there_o they_o find_v less_o tyranny_n and_o more_o kindness_n the_o second_o be_v that_o in_o this_o same_o extent_n of_o country_n there_o be_v sundry_a nation_n which_o the_o mogul_n be_v not_o full_a master_n of_o most_o of_o they_o retain_v yet_o their_o particular_a sovereign_n and_o lord_n that_o obey_v he_o not_o nor_o pay_v he_o tribute_n but_o from_o constraint_n many_o that_o do_v little_a some_o that_o

of_o persia_n who_o almost_o never_o pay_v he_o any_o thing_n no_o more_o than_o they_o do_v to_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n as_o also_o the_o balouche_n and_o augan_n and_o other_o mountineer_n of_o who_o also_o the_o great_a part_n pay_v he_o but_o a_o small_a matter_n and_o even_o care_v but_o very_o little_a for_o he_o witness_v the_o affront_n they_o do_v he_o when_o they_o stop_v his_o
