suffer him to perish therefore leaue and very shortly shall strange things happen in the Empire Achmet contrary to all expectation the next morning after his Dreame sent for him into the roome of State where he lay on a stately Pallet with all his Vice-Roys and Bashaws groueling on the ground and the principall Mustie kneeling before him reading on a booke It should seeme that glad tidings came first to the Citie For he was taken out of the prison with great respect and obseruation he was admitted to his galley with high Ceremonies and yet solemne countenances hee was accompanied on the Sea with thousands of boats and ten thousand of weeping eyes hee landed at the Emperours owne Caska with great respect and modest stilnesse hee walking through the Garden of Cypres trees and at last came to an Iron gate where his owne company left him except two Bashawes who led him by the armes the gate opens and he must through a Guard of Cupogies they bend to the ground and yet looke cheerefully they brought him into the roome where the Mutes stood whose presence did more appale him then the rest but that hee saw the crueltie confirmed and their very sight was worse then an vnreuersable iudgement but when he perceiued no violent hands laid vpon him and that he must yet goe further he was the more astonished and the more vexed to endure such a procrastination At last he came where the Emperour lay sicke on his Pallet before whom his prostitution was as the ordinary slaues but contrary to all expectation he bad him rise and commanded certaine Persian Carpets to be spread and rich Cushions to be laid on which according to their manner hee sate crosse legged by him and when the Muftie had raised the Emperour vp a little with a faint voyce he discouered an vnlooke for louing heart and bequeathed to him the succession He had no sooner done but he began to faint and so read them all a lesson of mortalitie by opening a booke wherein they saw death writ in Capitall letters and himselfe sinking past recouery which made them recouer new Spirits and presently bring his brother out into the Sophia where the principall Muftie proclaimed Mustapha Emperour intimating to the Ianizaries the charge of Achmat to the discharging their duties and the pleasure of Mustapha to giue them a larges which equalling the bountie of other Princes ouerswayed nicer exceptions and so with great acclamations they ratified the Election and cried out Liue and raigne great Mustapha Thus is Mustapha Emperour and they had two yeeres triall of his disposition whereby they found him harmelesse if innocent in both senses Encomions of no great and stirring Spirit Scander and Mehemet Bashaw take the young Osman after this out of the Seralio and present him to the Ianizaries a comely sweet young youth of nine or ten yeere old demanding withall if such an heire of the Othoman Family were to bee reiected without cause or why they should bring an harmelesse Prince as they reputed Mustapha into the danger of vsurpation and differing no further from a Traytor but that it was not imputed to him as for Achmats Will Empires are not so translated and what could they tell but priuate men for their owne ends had wrought vpon his weaknesse making a diseased tongue speake that which a healthfull heart and perfect sense would not consent to For it was probable that a Father would disinherit his children for any brother in the world Besides there was no triall or cause either of insufficiencie or disabilitie and therefore they could not beleeue it Last of all for any thing they saw Mustapha himselfe was not stirring or strong enough to play the Steeres-man in such an high built Ship considering the Seas were tempestuous and many dangerous shores and rockes were to be passed by These speeches to the turbulent Ianizaries were like fewell to fire and the presence of the louely youth made them amazed at their inconstancie so that by way of penitencie and satisfaction they quickely altered the acclamation of Liue Mustapha into the cries of God saue young Osman and so without further disputing hee was aduanced into the Throne and brought into the Seralio when Mustapha least thought of the alteration But now there is no remedie hee must needs bee deposed and sent prisoner once againe into the seuen Towers Now doth Osman begin his Phaetons flourish and runneth the course of pleasures with his youth spending foure or fiue yeeres in wantonnesse and iollitie while his Bashawes spent the time in couetousnesse and ambitious ouer-ruling others yet not without carefull ouer-looking the Ianizaries and prouident preuenting their discontents turbulent disposition but all doth helpe for they ouer-accustomed to actiue imployment and liuing vpon the spoile of forraine Nations as much as the Emperours entertainment cried out to the warre and when answer was made that the Persians had contracted a new league and the Emperours of Germanies old couenants were not yet determined or ended They presently replyed the indignities which the Russians had offered vnto their neighbors the Tartarians were not to be endured for they need goe no further then the piracies of the blacke Sea and the iniuries of the Cossacks and Polonians Nay why should they not march to the expugnation of Loepolis and the foraging of the Countries of Moldauia and Bogdonia and so forward to teach Poland a better lesson then to displease the Othoman Family and mightinesse The Bashawes knew there was no replying nor now the fire was kindled no other quenching it then letting it consume to cinders whereupon they presently answered they were glad that the Souldiers were so memorable of the glory of the Empire and so readie to imploy themselues for the dignitie of the Nation and therefore they would not by any meanes hinder them or the cause But they should finde the Emperour as carefull to satisfie their demands as they were willing to augment his Greatnesse so that if they would giue way vnto time for the preparing of all things fit for the Armie and the sending for the Tartarians to accompany them in the iourney the Emperour should goe in person into the field and Poland soone finde what it was to exasperate such a Maiestie The King of Poland sent to the Emperour to the French King to the Pope for assistance as also to his Maiestie of England with intimation of the terrour and his well deliuered discourse made such impression on his Maiesties Princely heart that he had a present supply In a word his Armie was soone readie and his Cossacks prepared by the end of Iuly hee was encamped in the fields of Bogdonia and within eight dayes entrenched with twentie Peeces of Ordnance mounted but the Cossacks quartered by themselues and after their accustomed manner lying between two Riuers were the more emboldened to make their daily excursions vpon the Tartars For hauing a bridge in the reare of their Campe with

II. Of the ancient Iewish Authors and their Kabalists AFter the Times of Christ Philo and Iosephus are famous and after the Resurrection of Christ the Iewes were of three sorts some true beleeuers others absolute denyers the third would haue the Christian Religion and the Iewish Ceremonies to bee conioyned in equall obseruation against which third sort the first Councell Act. 15. was summoned The moderne Iewes insist principally on the litterall sense of Scripture the Elder sought out a spirituall and mysticall sense accounting this a great matter the literall but small like to a candle of small value with the light whereof the other as a pearle hidden in a darke roome is found The Talmudists followed the allegoricall sense the Cabalists the Anagogicall As concerning this Cabala in olde times they communicated not that skill to any but to such as were aged and learned and therefore nothing thereof or very little is found written of the Ancient except of Rabbi Simeon Ben Iohai But the Doctors of the later Iewes lest that learning should perish haue left somewhat thereof in writing but so obscurely that few know it and they which doe account it a great secret and hold it in great regard So saith Elias in the bookes of the Kabala are contained the secrets of the Law and the Prophets which man receiued from the mouth of man vnto our Master Moses on him be peace and therefore it is so called and is diuided into two parts Speculatiue and Practike But I am not worthy to explaine this businesse and by reason of my sinnes haue not learned this wisedome nor knowne this knowledge of those Saints The word Cabala signifieth a receiuing and in that respect may bee supplyed to all their Traditionall receipts but in vse which is the Law of speech it is appropriated to that facultie which as Ricius describeth it by the type of the Mosaicall law insinuateth the secrets of diuine and humane things and because it is not grounded on reason nor deliuered by writing but by the faith of the hearer receiued it is called Cabala Or if you had rather haue it in Reuchlines words it is a Symbolicall receiuing of diuine Reuelation deliuered to the wholesome contemplation of GOD and of the seperated formes and they which receiue it are called Cabalici their Disciples Cabalaei and they which any way imitate them Cabalistae The Talmudists therefore and the Cabalists are of two faculties both agreeing in this that they grow from Tradition whereunto they giue credite without rendring any reason herein differing that the Cabalist as a super-subtill transcendent mounteth with all his industrie and intention from this sensible World vnto that other intellectuall but the grosser Talmudist abideth in this and if at any time hee considereth of GOD or the blessed Spirits yet it is with relation to his workes and their functions not in any abstract contemplation bending his whole study to the explaination of the Law according to the intent of the Law-giuer considering what is to bee done what eschewed whereas the Cabalists most indeauour themselues to contemplation leauing the care of publike and priuate affaires to the Talmudists and reseruing onely to themselues those things which pertaine to the tranquillitie of the minde As therefore the minde is more excellent then the body so you must thinke the Cabalist superiour to the Talmudist For example In the beginning God created Heauen and Earth saith Moses Heauen here after the Talmudist is all that part of the World which is aboue the Moone and all beneath it Earth also by Heauen hee vnderstandeth forme and by Earth matter the composition whereof hee effected not by labour of the hand but by that nine-fold Oracle of his word for so often is it mentioned and God said likewise hee findeth the foure Elements in those words Darkenesse Spirit Waters drie Land But the Cabalist frameth to himselfe two Worlds the Visible and Inuisible Sensible and Mentall Materiall and Ideall Superiour and Inferiour and accordingly gathereth out of the former words God created Heauen and Earth That hee made the highest and lowest things meaning by the highest the immateriall by the lowest this materiall and this is gathered out of the first letter Beth which in numbring signifieth two and insinuateth there these two Worlds Yea they also
Doer or his Posteritie The Ancients made no question of the Soules immortalitie speaking often of the Dead as liuing in Heauen But of the punishments of wicked men in Hel not a word The later Professors teach that the Soule dies with or soone after the Bodie and therfore beleeue neither Heauen nor Hel. Some of them hold that good mens soules by the strength of vertue hold out some longer time but of bad men to die with the bodie But the most common opinion taken from the Sect of Idolaters and brought in fiue hundred yeeres since holdeth that the World consisteth of one substance and that the Maker thereof together with Heauen and Earth Men Beasts Plants and the Elements doe make vp one bodie of which euery Creature is a distinct member thence obseruing what loue ought to be amongst all things and that Men may come to become one with GOD. Although the learned men acknowledge one supreame Deitie yet doe they build him no Temple nor depute any place to his worship no Priests or Ministers of Religion no solemne Rites no Precepts or Rules none that hath power to ordaine or explaine their Holies or to punish the Transgressors They doe Him no priuate or publike deuotions or seruice yea they affirme that it belongs to the King only to do sacrifice and worship to the King of Heauen and that it is treason for others to vsurpe it For this cause the King hath two Temples very magnificent in both the Royall Cities the one consecrate to Heauen the other to Earth in the which hee was wont himselfe to sacrifice but it is now performed by some principall Magistrates which slay there many Sheepe and Oxen and performe other Rites many to Heauen and Earth in his stead To the other spirits of Hills Riuers and the foure Regions of the World onely the chiefe Magistrates doe sacrifice nor is it lawfull to priuate men The Precepts of this Law are in their nine Bookes before mentioned Nothing in this Sect is moee generall from the King to the meanest then their yeerely Obits to their Parents and grand-fathers which they account obedience to Parents though dead of which afterwards The Temple they haue is that which in euery Citie is by the Law built to Confutius in that place where there Schoole or Commencement house is This is sumptuous and hath adioyning the Palace of that Magistracie which is ouer the Bachellors or Graduates of the first degree In the chiefe place of this Temple or Chappell is placed his Image or else his name in golden Cupitall Letters on a faire Table besides which stand other Images of his disciples as inferiour Saints Into this Temple euery new and full Moone all the Magistrates of the Citie assemble with the Bachellors and adore him with kneelings wax-lights and incense They do also yeerely on his birth-day and other appointed times offer vnto him meat-offerings or dishes with great prouision yeelding him thanks for the learning they haue found in his Bookes as the cause of their Degrees and Magistracies But they pray not to him for any thing no more then to the dead in their Obits There are other Chappels of the same Sect vnto the Tutelare spirits of each Citie and proper to euery Magistrate of the Court Therein they binde themselues by solemne oath to obserue the Lawes in their function and that at their first entrance heere they offer meates and burne odours acknowledging diuine Iustice in punishing periurie The scope of this Sect of the learned is the publike peace and well ordering of the priuate and publike state and framing themselues to Morall vertues wherein they doe not much disagree from the Christian veritie They haue fiue concords in their Moralitie in which as Cardinall vertues they comprise all Humanitie the duties namely of Father and Child Husband and Wife Master or Superiour and those vnder them Brethren amongst themselues and lastly Equals and Companions They condemne single life and permit polygamie This precept of Charitie to doe to others as one would bee done to is well handled in their Bookes and especially the pietie and obseruance of Children to their Parents and Inferiours to their Superiours Longobardus saith that euery new and full Moon-day a little before Sun-rising in all the Cities of this Kingdome and in all the streets at one and the same houre they make publication of these sixe Precepts First Obey thy Father and Mother Secondly Reuerence thy Elders and Superiours Thirdly Keepe peace with thy Neighbours Fourthly Teach thy Children Fiftly Fulfill thy Calling and Office The last prohibiteth crimes Murther Adulterie Theft c. Many mixe this first with other Sects yea some hold not this a Sect but an Academie Schoole or Profession of Policie and gouerning the priuate and publike State §. IIII. Of the Sect Sciequia THe second Sect is called Sciequia or Omitose in Iapon pronounced Sciaccu and Amidabu the characters to both are the same the Iaponites call it also the Totoqui Law This was brought into China from the West out of a Kingdome called Thiencio or Scinto now Indostan betweene Indus and Ganges Anno Dom. 65. I haue read That the King of China mooued by a dreame sent Legates thither which brought thence Bookes and Interpreters which translated those Bookes from hence it passed into Iapon and therefore the Iaponders are deceiued which thinke that Sciaccu and Amidabu were Siamites and came into Iapon themselues Perhaps they then heard of the Apostles preaching in India and sending for that had this false doctrine obtruded on them These hold that there are foure Elements whereas the Chinois foolishly affirme fiue Fire Water Earth Metals and Wood not mentioning the Aire of which they compound this Elementary World with the creatures therein They multiplie Worlds with Democritus and with Pythagoras hold a Metampsychosis or passage of Soules out of one body into another They tell of a Trinitie of Gods which grew into one Deitie This Sect promiseth rewards to the good in Heauen to the euill threatens punishments in Hell extolleth Single life seemes to condemne Marriage bids fare-well to house and houshold and begs in Pilgrimages to diuers places Their Rites doe much agree it is the Iesuites assertion with the Popish their Hymnes and Prayers with the Gregorian fashion Images in their Temples Priestly Vestments like to their Pluutalia In their Mumsimus they often repeate a name which themselues vnderstand not Tolome which some thinke may be deriued from that of Saint Thomas Neither in Heauen or Hell doe they ascribe eternitie but after certaine spaces of yeeres they allow them another birth in some other Earth there allowing them penance for their passed sinnes The seuerer sort eate not flesh or any thing that had life but if any delinquish their penance is not heard the gift of some money or the mumbling ouer their Orisons being they promise of power to free from Hell These things made a faire shew but their corruptions

and Gasper Ens haue transcribed the summe whereof Iarric and Boterus haue inserted into their French and Italian Relations Petrus Aluarius Capralis being sent by Emanuel King of Portugall in the yeere 1500. vnto the East-Indies to auoid the calmes on the Guinnee shore fetched a further compasse West and so discouered the Continent which now of that Red Wood there plentifully growing is called Brasil but by him was named the Land of the Holy Crosse because hee had there erected a Crosse with much ceremony since vsually named Brasil of the store of Brasil-Wood there growing This Brasil was soone after by Americus Vesputius at the charges of the said King further discouered The Region is pleasant and wholesome the Hils and Valleyes equally agreeing in their vnequalnesse the soyle fat and fertile there are plentie of Sugar-Canes a kind of Balme expressed out of the Herbe Copaibas the Zabucals which yeild a kind of Nuts growing in great hard cups of taste like a Chesnut the Auanaz excellent in scent and taste the Pacouere a tree so tender that it may bee cut with a knife a fadome high the leaues two foot broad seuen foot long the fruit a foot long like a Cucumber called Pacoua thirtie or fortie together in clusters neuer hearing fruit but once the like is in the East-Indies as Theuet our Authour affirmeth and many other fruits which the Countrey naturally produceth besides those which our Europe hath communicated Many sorts there are of Beasts as a kind of Swine which liue in both Elements their fore-feet being short in proportion to the hinder make them slow in running and therefore being hunted commit themselues quickly to the water Antae resembling a Mule but somwhat lesse slender-snowted the nether chap very long like a Trumpet with round eares and short tailes hiding themselues in the day-time and feeding in the night the flesh tasteth like Beefe there is also the Armadillo the Tygre which being hungry is very hurtfull being full will flee from a Dogge There is a deformed beast of such slow pace that in fifteene dayes it will scarce goe a stones cast It liueth on the leaues of trees on which it is two dayes in climing and as many in descending neither shouts nor blowes forcing herto amend her pace The Tamendoas are as big as a Ramme with long and sharpe snowts a tayle like a Squirrell twice as long as the body and hairy where-under they hide themselues will put out their tongue two foote out of the mouth as round as an Oyle-cruze to gather plentie of Ants into their mouthes hauing scraped vp the places where they keep with their pawes The Portugals haue there raised plentie of Horses and Sheepe The men worship no God at all but are giuen to South-sayings The men and women goe altogether naked are flat-nosed make themselues blacke with the fruit Genipapi weare their haire hanging from the hinder part of the head not suffering it else-where to grow in their nether lips weare long stones for a gallantry which being remoued they seeme in deformed manner to haue a double mouth they goe together by companies with great silence the Wife going before her Husband which some say is done for iealousie They entertain and welcome Strangers at first with weeping and deepe sighes pittying their tedious iourney and presently drie their eyes hauing teares at command Women in trauell are deliuered without great difficultie and presently goe about their houshold businesse the Husband in her stead keepeth his bed is visited of the neighbours hath his broths made him and iunkets sent to comfort him They are ignorant of numbring and Letters some Tradition they are said to haue touching Noe and the Floud Vnder the same Roofe which is like a Boat with the Keele vpwards liue many Families they lye in Nets or beds hanging aboue the ground which is vsuall in a great part of the Indies to auoid hurtfull creatures they minde the day and are not carefull for the morrow easily communicate what they haue are very patient of labour and hunger feasting if they haue wherewith from morning till night and fasting other-whiles when they want three dayes together In swimming they are miraculously skilfull and will diue whole houres to search any thing vnder the water They beleeue not any reward or punishment after this life ended but thinke that as men die so they goe to the other World maimed wounded sicke or whole and therefore bury the bodies with a Net to lye in and food for some dayes thinking that they both sleepe and eate They are excellent Archers and what enemies they take in their warres they feed well many dayes and then kill and eate them for great Dainties They dwell in Houses scattered and separated from each other their Language is almost generally the same they haue no Lawes nor Magistrates the women call certaine things by one name and the Men by another They haue no vse of three Letters in the Alphabet L F R a reason whereof some haue wittily giuen because they haue no Law Faith nor Ruler They are vnmindfull of good turnes and too mindfull of iniuries impotent of Lust and Rage and in summe more like beasts then men Thus farre Maffaeus In the yeere 1503. Giouanni da Empoli a Florentine sayled thither with the Portugals who reporteth the like of their nakednesse irreligion and of their man-eating saying that they dry it in the smoke as we doe Bacon The same doth Albericus Vesputius report that he had seene amongst them and that he had heard one of them boast that hee had in his time eaten three hundred men He weighed the long stones which they vsed to weare in their faces seuen in number about sixteene ounces He saith they liue an hundred and fiftie yeeres and that their Women are out of measure luxurious that they alway haue an Easterly wind which tempereth their Aire Let vs in the next place heare such as haue liued in the Countrie of which Lerius and Theuet two Frenchmen and Ioannes Stadius a Germane haue written seuerall Treatises But none hath more fully described them then a Portugall Frier and Anthonie Kniuet our Countriman §.
