acte of Circumcizion was doone by night beholde and marke well wherefore I haue deferred vntyll now to speake of the Ceremonies which then were obserued the which I wyll touch bréefelie and in fewe wordes The seuenth day of Iune Amurathe caused Proclamation to be made that they should bring into the Parke aforesayde all those as were to be Cyrcumcized with promise by him made to giue vnto euerie one a gowne a shyrt and a hundred peeces of money which were woorth about ten pence a peece and at this crie or Proclamation there was gathered together such a multitude of young chyldren seruauntes lacques and slaues which came most part rather for the desyre of gayning the giftes then vppon any deuotion at all so that they lacked and needed aboue thirtie Surgeons to dresse them and yet they were occupied about them all that daye and most parte of the night And in the same night after the sportes and pastimes were all ended and about two of the clocke in the morning Mahumet the sonne of Amurathe the young Prince of sixteene yeeres olde was Circumcized not openlie but in his fathers Waredrope and in the presence of his sayd father and of the 〈◊〉 Officers and Seignio●● by Mahumet Bass● the 〈◊〉 Counseller of that State You haue heere fre●ndly Reader the discourse of the foolish Ceremonies of that myserable Nation which is in daunger to ●eare and suffer the eternall names of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but before I make an ende I will adde and speake one word more touching and concerning that as happened and chaunced at the end of the sports and which troubled vs all that were at the Feast First of all were the weddings of the Daughter of Amurathe made who was maried to the Admyrall of Turkie these weddinges were royallie feasted for the spars of fiue dayes Then by chaunce it fell out so that Sulthane the wife of Amurathe dyd not goe her full tyme all out and the tumult grewe betweene the Ianissaries and the Archers of his Garde the which dyd rise in tumult the one against the other in his presence and within the Parke with such furie and ●●erce anger that without any respect of theyr General or of the great Bassa or of Amurathe himselfe they came to handy blowes in such sort that two Ianissaries and foure Archers were left dead and stretched abreade euen in the same place Amurathe now being sore afraide and amased thereat and verie much doubting the Ianissaries which are meruailous vnhappy and wicked people caused his Castell to be made fast and throughlie furnished round about You se● now him which was in hope to haue swallowed vppe as it were all the whole world stand trembling and quaking for feare euen in the middest of his owne garde Vnder the collour of I wot not what bruite or noyse and had much ad●● to warrant or saue himselfe vnder the shylter or suretie of any walles And now to make an end the wedding being all finished the one and twenty day of Iune the day before the which he retyred and went in the morning into his Castel with his Sonne being conducted and guided by the Bassas and with three hundred other Gentlemen This is it as I had to saye touching the sportes and sightes at Constantinople wherein I haue béene as bréefe and vsed as much dilligence as possiblie I could and if it dooth not lyke you good Reader yet thinke not euyll of me although I am not ashamed to write it but rather blame you him which durst attempt to doo all these things and take well in woorth my endeuor héerein Vale. FINIS T. H. I doo send vnto you the Confession of Gennadius the Patriarche of Constantinople exhibited to Mahumet the 11. Emperour of that name immediatly after that Constantinople was taken who required the same of him and this I receyued of Theodosius Zygomalius the cheefe Notarie of this present Patriarche Ieremy Thus fare you well in all felicitie at Constantinople the 9. of Iulie WE beleeue that God is the creatour of all thinges whatsoeuer they be and that they were of nothing and that he is neither a body nor hath a body but liueth intellectuallie and he is a God verie good and perfect of mind or substaunce and most wise not made or compounded he is without beginning and hath no ende he is in the World and aboue the world he is not in one place and he is in euerie place These are the properties of God by the which he is seperated from his creatures and such other lyke He is 〈◊〉 and good and true whatsoeuer things his works haue in a part excellent he hath them all alone by a more excellent manner And his creatures haue these same perfections because he giueth them to his creatures and because he is good in lyke manner his creatures are good because he is wise they are wise because he is true they are true and whatsoeuer are such like sauing onelie that God hath them in a principall place the creatures by perticipation We beléeue that in GOD there are thrée properties which are as the beginninges and fountaines of all the other his properties and God lyueth by these thrée properties euer 〈…〉 inglie in himselfe and before that the world was builded by him and by them he builded the world and by them he gouerneth it And these thrée properties we call them thrée persons and because these thrée properties doo not deuide the onelie and most simple substaunce of God therfore be is God and with these properties he is one God and there are not three Gods We doo beléeue that the worde and spirite doo spring but of the nature of God as from the fyre lyght and heat and as the fyre although there be nothing that can be lyghtned and be made warme by it notwithstanding the same fyre hath alwayes lyght and heate and sendeth out lyght and heate So before the world was builded the worde was and so was the spirite naturall powers of God because God is a minde or substaunce as it was sayde before and these thrée the minde or substaunce the worde and spirite is one God as the soule of man is the minde and a worde intellectuall and an intellectuall will and notwithstanding these thrée in déede are one soule Moreouer wée call the worde the wisdome of God and the power and his Sonne because he is the sonne of his naturall substaunce and as we call the sonne of the nature of man the sonne of man and as the cogitation of this minde is so is it in these diuine things Furthermore we name the will of God the spyrite of God and loue Wée call the minde the Father because he is not begotten and without a cause the cause of the sonne and of the spirite Because therefore God doth not vnder stand onely his creatures but more he knoweth and vnderstandeth himselfe and for this cause he hath the worde and wisdome by the which he vnderstandeth
