retire himself a whil● to Posilipo to recreate himself or any when els his Excellence would please This Messag● please him well so all things necessary we●● provided and divers bands of superfluou● soldiers were disbanded which was don with●out any grumbling or questioning whatsoe●ver he did But at last he grew odiously prou● he wold will and unwill a thing at the sam● instant and his head began to turn bein● mounted so high and from a simple Fisherma● made himself a kind of Monarch All peepl● obey'd him Vice-Roy Bishops and all who him the swinge and humor'd him all the while not doubting but he wold at last break his own neck as it happen'd right thereupon when the Squadron of Napolitan Gallies came from Genoa the Vice-Roy left to him the giving leave of letting them arrive at the Port he saw all the City arm'd and depending on his beck acknowledging him to be their absolute Commander and Captaine Generall by an exact and a strange kind of implicite blind obedience so ●ha● no King whatsoever could desire more Allegiance from his own vassalls Hence it came to passe that from an humble judicious and zealous spirit which raign'd ●n him he became proud a fool and a tyrant putting out such rigorous Proclamations commanding so many heads to be chop 't off so many Palaces to be burnt meerly somtimes ●o please his own capri●nio and to make himself formidable he wold go a horseback alone and fetch the round of the City imprisoning and torturing whom he pleas'd shutting up of shops preaching and railing against the Nobility and Gentry not sparing the Vice-Roy himselfe but threatning to take off his head yet when he spake of the King he nam'd him with a great deale of reverence taking off his hat and bowing his body but one thing made him very ridiculous that he made boyes very mean fellowes Captains Campmasters and other Officers of War In the afternoon divers of the peeple and som Commanders made by Masaniello himself sent to complain to the Archbishop that they were clap't in prison for small matters for a thing of nothing and som were commanded by him to have their heads sever'd from their bodies and taken off as so many capons Thereupon his Eminence spake unto him by way of advice and because he saw him obstinate he desir'd him at least to defer the execution of those men till the day following it being not fitting to shed humane blood upon a Sunday and stain the holy Sabbath wit● such sacrifices of cruelty The Bishop spoke to him with that candor and winning affability turning his discourse to other facetious stories that he obtain'd of him a deferring of the execution and to recreate his tired spirits he wish'd him to go to take the refreshments and pleasure of Posilipo for a while He imbrac'd his counsell but desiring that his Reverence wold accompanie him he in scorn of such a companion desir'd him to go before and he would quickly follow A little after Masaniello went from the Market accompanied with a huge company of Pleb●ans to the Castle all the way a foot in a loose habit having one stockin on and the other off without band hat or sword but running on like a mad man he made a signe to the Sergeant Major of the Spanish Gard that they shold make no noise so he entred and spoke to the Vice-Roy that he must eat for he was ready to perish for hunger The Viceroy looking upon his servants said Traigan da comer al Senor Masaniello Bring somthing to eat for the Lord Masaniello no Sir he replied let us go take fresh aire at Posilipo and leat us eat together there for I have provision already and saying this he caus'd divers Mariners to com in with divers baskets of fruit The Viceroy did excuse himself as well as he cold praying him to excuse him because he was troubled with a great pain in the head and he wold be very glad of his company at any other time so he gave order presently that his own Gondola shold be made ready to wait upon Senior Masaniello where when he had imbarqued himselfe with divers Mariners he was attended at least by forty Fellucas full of Musicians and other sorts of men fit to give him some recreation There ran to the mole of Chiaia many thousands of peeple to see the spectacle in his way he gave order that som shold go to the regular Canons of St. Lateran to draw thence such goods that he had unders●●od were convey'd and depositated there which was don and brought to the market pl●ce As he went along he threw peeces of gold into the sea which the Mariners swom after and duck'd to take up to afford him pleasure and pastime Then he fell to eating or r●ther to feasting for he had very choice provision ●n the Gondola and they sayed that before he came back he had drunk twelve bottl●s of wine call'd Lachrymae Christi but the operations of that wine you shall read in the next daies work which was Munday when he was return'd to Naples that evening he gave all those of the Gondola and Fellucas which attended him ten measures of wheat ev'ry one The comedy of this day had not been compleat if the wife of Masaniello had not also acted her part who about the evening went to the Castle clad in cloth of silver with a chain of gold and other jewells and galla●tries which the Duchesse of Arcos had formerly sent her She went in a very stately Coach of the Duke of Mataloni's which was made for the day of his marriage and it was a very rich and magnificent peece valued at least at eight thousand crowns she was accompanied with divers gentlewomen of quality who complied with the times and they went also richly adorn'd But these were no other then Masaniello's mother and two sisters and other kinswomen of his all Fishermens daughters a little boy his sisters son bare upon his sleeve a kind of arms which shew'd that his Uncle was Captain Generall of the City of Naples When she came to the Viceroys Palace ther were Sedans sent for her and her company with a gard of Halberdeers Pages and Laquays to attend them Then were they brought into the Duchesse where they found a great deal of welcom and dainties The Duchesse presented her with a rich Diamond and the Visitor Generall took the young boy often in his arms and kiss'd him Masaniello's mother meeting upon the stairs with Cavalier Cosmo Fonseca the grand Ingeneer who us'd to make Epitaphs she told him that he shold tell the Viceroy that her son fear'd no body but God and his Excellence therfore he shold do well to send unto him to refrain from so much fire and blood Masaniello being return'd from his recreations at Posilipo was so heated with the abundance of wine that he had drunk and with the heat of the Sun that he fell into a kind of dotage and foolishnesse He sent
