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
