         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           to
           conclude
           a
           business

           It
           was
           a
           long

           perhaps
           by

           which
           just
           signified
           nothing

           Sometimes
           the
           Interpreters
           would
           tell

           said
           ,
           he
           had
           good

           The

           time
           they

           bring
           him
           word
           ,
           That
           he
           appeared
           Shagrin

           thô
           he
           failed
           not
           to
           salute
           him
           ;
           and
           perhaps
           might
           have
           some
           particular
           Affair
           of
           his
           own

           that
           he
           had
           too
           insinuated

           that
           the
           Ambassador
           did
           himself
           no
           good
           Office
           by
           being
           so
           Obstinate
           in
           the
           Point

           Kieupruli
           the
           Son
           did
           give
           the
           Sofa
           during
           his
           latter
           time

           it
           was
           at
           Constantinople
           ,
           where
           he

           Another
           day
           
           would
           bring

           That
           the
           Dowanier
           appeared
           very
           merry

           and
           did

           but
           returned
           him

           for
           the
           Wine

           He

           pains

           him
           ;
           saying
           too

           That
           the

           to
           the

           The
           Ambassador
           urged
           ,
           That
           the
           business
           of
           Cyprus

           many
           others
           ,
           concerning
           which
           he
           had
           delivered
           Memorials
           to
           the
           Vizirs
           Officers
           ,
           were
           no
           Trifling
           matters

           and
           that
           he
           had
           no
           knowledge
           of
           the
           Orders
           which
           the
           French
           Admiral
           had
           ,
           more
           then
           what
           he
           had
           received

           him
           ,
           by
           Letters

           But
           the
           Vizir
           remained
           firm
           to
           his
           Resolution

           to
           Prison
           :
           what
           I
           say
           to
           thee
           ,
           is
           nothing
           but
           an
           effect
           of
           my
           Friendship
           ;
           take
           time
           to
           consider
           of
           it
           ,
           and
           do
           thy
           best
           ,
           before
           there
           happens
           to
           thee
           some
           great
           affront
           .
           But
           the
           Ambassador
           persisting
           in
           the
           same
           useless
           
           Reasoning
           ;
           was
           by
           the
           Grand
           Vizir
           thus
           admonished

           It
           becomes
           a
           Servant

           who
           Mediates

           the
           King
           of
           France
           ,
           whom
           we
           distinguish
           much
           before
           all
           other
           Christian
           Kings
           ,
           to
           behave
           himself
           with
           all
           Care
           and
           Wisdom

           having
           ever
           before
           his
           Eyes
           the
           danger
           of
           suffering
           any
           thing

           slip
           between
           them

           might
           occasion
           Enmity
           or
           Coldness

           to
           the
           end

           the
           Subjects

           two
           such
           great
           Monarchies

           be
           free
           from
           Trouble
           :
           think
           therefore
           of
           Submitting
           ,
           and
           speedily
           paying
           ,
           or
           thou
           goest
           to
           the
           Seven
           Towers
           .
        
         
           The
           Ambassadour
           having
           no
           more
           to
           say
           ,
           retired
           ;
           but
           instead
           of
           sending
           him
           to
           the
           Seven
           Towers
           ,
           they
           convey'd
           him
           to
           the
           little
           Lobby
           of
           the
           Chamber
           belonging
           to
           the
           
             Chiaoux
             Barhy
          
           :
           So
           he
           stirred
           not
           out
           of
           the
           
           Vizir's
           House
           ,
           
           but
           there
           remained
           Prisoner
           ,
           soon
           comforting
           himself
           ,
           as
           we
           may
           think
           in
           that
           Consinement
           ,
           since
           he
           boasted
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           prevented
           being
           sent
           to
           the
           Seven
           Towers
           :
           One
           may
           indeed
           rationally
           conclude
           ,
           That
           he
           thought
           of
           nothing
           but
           the
           Prison
           ,
           with
           which
           he
           was
           threatned
           ;
           and
           therefore
           seemed
           not
           to
           resent
           the
           other
           ,
           in
           which
           he
           was
           kept
           .
           He
           seem'd
           to
           be
           pleas'd
           ,
           and
           studied
           to
           appear
           free
           ,
           refusing
           all
           was
           sent
           him
           from
           the
           
           Vizir's
           Kitchin
           ,
           and
           eating
           nothing
           but
           what
           came
           from
           his
           own
           .
           He
           shew'd
           too
           a
           kind
           of
           false
           Resolution
           ,
           to
           be
           steddy
           ,
           against
           all
           the
           Overtures
           were
           made
           him
           ,
           to
           accommodate
           the
           matter
           ,
           declaring
           by
           Reiterated
           Protestations
           ,
           that
           he
           neither
           could
           nor
           would
           give
           any
           thing

           except
           some
           Curiosities
           he
           had
           by
           him

           Whereupon
           the
           Vizir

           who
           first
           magnified
           the
           kindness
           of
           the
           Vizir

           as
           well
           as
           the
           endeavours
           of
           the
           Dowanier

           They
           seem'd
           to
           approve
           too
           ,
           the

           of
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           but
           would
           not
           confide
           in
           his
           word
           ,
           saying
           ,
           it
           was
           necessary
           to
           be
           cautious
           in
           things
           relating

           And
           therefore
           the
           promise
           of
           the
           Ambassador

           There
           hap'ned
           some
           dispute
           in
           forming
           it
           ,
           but
           at
           last
           it
           was
           agreed
           ,
           That
           the
           satisfaction
           should
           be
           exprest
           ,
           to
           intend
           a
           reparation
           for
           the
           mischief
           done
           by
           the
           Emperor
           of
           
           France's
           Ships
           at
           Chio
           :
           They
           would
           have
           ascertain'd
           the
           Presents
           ,
           but
           the
           Ambassadour
           would
           only
           promise
           they
           should
           be
           honest
           or
           proper
           ;
           and
           undertook
           too
           ,
           for
           a
           Letter
           from
           the
           Emperor
           of

           consisted
           the
           Matter
           of
           the
           Writing
           he
           gave
           for
           his
           Liberty
           ;
           whereupon
           he
           departed
           to
           his
           own
           House
           ;
           however
           protesting
           before

           went
           ,
           That
           he
           would
           perform
           nothing
           ,

           the
           Tripolins

           obliged
           to
           make
           a
           Peace
           :
           They
           bid
           him
           be
           contented

           The

           making

           reflexions
           on
           the
           steddy
           Obstinacy

           meriting
           Hell
           of
           this
           Old
           Seaman
           ,
           sent
           for
           the

           who
           as
           a
           Secret
           ,
           I
           must
           needs
           say
           ,
           my
           most
           Honor'd
           Lord
           ,
           is
           a
           true
           Devil
           Incarnate

           to
           whom

           Illustrious
           and
           Fortunate
           Lieutenant
           to
           the
           Emperor
           of
           the
           World
           thus
           expressed
           himself
           :
           If
           all
           the
           French
           were
           as
           Resolute
           as
           this
           Old
           Admiral
           ,
           we
           should
           be
           hard
           put
           to
           't
           to
           find
           the
           Moments
           of
           their
           wavering
           ,
           and
           ordinary
           inconstancy
           .
           But
           if
           on
           the
           one
           side
           ,
           the
           great
           God
           gives
           us
           this
           proof
           of
           their
           steddiness
           ;
           he
           shews
           us
           too
           on
           the
           other
           their
           Natural
           Genius
           ,
           in
           the
           facility
           of
           changing
           the
           Ambassador
           .
           Should
           we
           imploy

           Invincible
           Naval
           Forces

           the
           King
           of
           Kings
           ,
           the
           success
           would
           be
           doubtful
           ,
           for
           the
           French
           lye
           too
           far
           from
           us

           but
           easily
           approach
           our
           Fortresses

           having

           for
           their
           Succours
           :
           This
           makes
           me
           think
           my self
           predestinated
           for
           another
           Conduct
           ,
           which
           will
           be
           more

           or
           to
           say
           better
           ,
           the
           assistance
           of
           God
           ,
           which
           is
           never
           wanting
           to
           the
           Faithful
           ,
           will
           divide
           the
           French
           Councils
           ,

           them
           Combat
           one
           another
           ,
           as
           they
           did
           at
           Candia
           :
           Do
           you

           believes
           you
           his
           friend

           serve
           your self
           with
           all
           your
           understanding

           upon
           his
           Credulous
           Temper
           ,
           to
           divide
           
           him
           from

           thorough-pac'd
           Infidel

           one
           who
           seems
           to
           have
           forgot
           his
           Country

           so
           Jealousie
           between

           natural

           his
           Race

           being
           by
           Birth
           a
           Chinquene

           who
           has

           his
           Subtleties
           and

           the
           Customs
           ;
           so
           he
           received
           the
           Orders
           of
           the
           Sovereign
           Vizir

           with
           great
           Submission
           ,
           promising

             the
             peril

             Head

           them
           .
        
         
           He
           made
           it
           be
           told
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           that
           now
           things
           were
           in
           a
           good
           way

           this
           Old
           Mad
           Admiral
           would
           spoil
           all
           ;
           and
           it
           was
           to
           be
           feared
           by
           his
           restless
           Temper

           produce
           an
           absolute
           Rupture
           :
           That
           he
           was
           an
           Ambitious
           ,
           and
           Aspiring
           kind
           of
           Genius
           ,
           that
           could
           not
           be
           contented
           to
           have
           ended
           the
           Affair
           of
           the
           Tripolines
           which
           only
           concerned
           him

           to
           his
           own
           hearts
           desire
           ,
           but
           must
           now
           be
           medling
           too
           with
           that
           of
           the
           Embassie
           ,
           that
           the
           glory
           of
           gaining
           all
           Points
           might
           seem
           to
           be
           his

           and
           that
           since
           all
           things
           were
           adjusted
           ,
           only
           that
           Point
           of
           the
           Sofa
           ,
           which
           the
           Vizir
           was
           resolved
           to
           grant
           too
           ,
           it
           was
           necessary
           to
           remove
           this
           busie
           Obstacle

           to
           a

           Reconciliation

           The
           Ambassador
           gave
           credit
           to
           this
           Man
           ,
           whom
           the
           Musulman's
           themselves
           believe
           but
           by
           force
           ;
           he
           therefore
           writ
           to
           the
           French
           Admiral
           to
           depart
           to
           Milo

           on
           pretence
           of
           refitting
           ,
           and
           to
           return
           again
           ,
           if
           things
           were
           not
           accommodated
           as
           he
           expected
           :
           This
           Letter
           made
           him
           separate
           from
           the
           Sea
           of
           Chio
           ,
           which
           he
           seem'd
           before
           to
           have
           espoused
           ;
           first
           sending
           his
           humble
           request
           to

             Capoudan
             Pacha

           that
           satisfaction
           might
           be
           given

           fortunate
           Vizir

           whom
           God
           will
           always
           prosper
           ,
           was
           not
           a
           little
           pleas'd
           ,
           to
           see
           enter
           into
           Constantinople
           the
           Fleet
           which
           had
           been
           so
           long
           detain'd
           at
           Chio
           :
           And
           was
           extremely
           well
           satisfied
           with
           the
           Conduct
           of
           the
           Dowanier
           ,
           whom
           he
           ordered
           to
           continue
           his
           usual
           Amusements
           to
           the
           Ambassador
           ;
           who
           for
           four
           or
           five
           Months
           was
           perpetually
           
           Imbarrast
           with
           delays
           :
           He
           boasted
           mightily
           of
           his
           Fidelity
           to
           the
           Sublime
           Port
           ,
           in
           having
           put
           a
           stop
           to
           the
           violent
           Resolutions
           of
           the
           French
           Admiral
           (
           though
           before
           he
           had
           pretended
           to
           have
           no
           power
           over
           him
           )
           he
           therefore
           continually
           urged
           their
           keeping
           promise
           with
           him
           about
           the
           Sofa
           ;
           sometimes
           it
           would
           be
           promised
           him
           ,
           and
           then
           again
           made
           doubtful
           :
           Then
           it
           would
           he
           suggested
           as
           designed
           in
           a
           Chamber
           without
           Sofa
           ,
           to
           be
           purposely
           dedicated
           to
           the
           Audiences
           of
           the
           French
           Ambassador
           :
           But
           at
           last
           he
           was
           plainly
           told
           ,
           nothing
           at
           all
           could
           be
           done
           in
           it
           ,
           till
           he
           had
           performed
           his
           promise
           concerning
           the
           Presents
           ;
           and
           that
           then
           they
           would
           think
           of
           contenting
           him
           .
        
         
           The
           French
           Admiral
           ,
           during
           these
           delays
           ,
           was
           returned
           again
           ,
           near
           to
           Chio
           ,
           being
           at
           the
           Isles
           of
           Ourlar

           on
           the
           Coast
           of
           Smyrna
           :
           where
           the
           wise
           Vizir
           by
           the
           help
           of
           the
           Grand
           Dowanier
           found
           means
           a
           long
           time
           to
           amuse
           him
           .
           But
           the
           Ambassador
           beginning
           to
           discover
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           deluded
           ,
           writ
           to
           this
           old
           Madman
           ,
           to
           approach
           to
           the
           Cape
           of
           Janissaries
           ,
           near
           Smyrna
           :
           But
           commanded
           him
           too
           not
           to
           come
           nearer
           the
           Dardanelloes

           Keys
           of
           the
           World
           ,
           assuring
           him
           if
           he
           did
           ,
           it
           would
           prove
           the
           destruction
           of
           all
           the
           French
           Fleet

           And
           then

           nor
           Ambassador

           Circumstances

           at
           the

           the
           assurance

           that
           danger
           ;
           that
           ,
           that
           terror
           still
           possest
           him
           ,
           which
           had
           prevented
           the
           French
           Admiral

           was
           now
           again
           the
           Cause
           that
           he
           only
           came

           an
           Anchor
           ,
           as
           I
           said
           before

           intelligence
           from

           that
           the
           French
           Admiral
           was
           troubled

           the

           Janissaries

           was
           certainly
           as

           are
           inform'd

           soon

           The

           who
           brought
           the
           Letter
           was
           one
           of
           the
           Captains
           of

           and
           one
           we

           particular
           Friend
           to
           the
           Ambassador

           This
           Envoy
           came
           to
           Constantinople
           well
           perpar'd
           with
           many
           good
           reasons
           to
           have
           offer'd
           to
           the
           Supream
           Arbitrator

           the
           Lieutenant
           to
           the
           Emperor
           of
           the
           World.
           But
           being
           unworthy
           to
           appear
           in
           his
           Presence
           ,
           that
           Honor
           was
           refused
           him
           ,
           and
           he
           was
           referred
           to
           the
           Chief
           Steward
           of
           the
           Houshold
           of
           this
           Councellor
           ,
           full
           of
           the
           Glory
           of
           the
           King
           of
           Kings
           .
        
         
           The
           Grand
           Vizir
           who
           knows
           well
           how
           to
           preserve
           the
           Honor
           of
           his
           Supream
           Dignity
           ,
           refused
           to
           receive
           the
           Letter
           from
           the
           French
           Admiral
           ,
           declaring
           he
           would
           have
           no
           business
           with
           him
           .
           And
           as
           to
           two
           sent
           him
           by
           the
           Ambassador
           of
           France
           ,
           wherein
           he
           desires
           leave
           to
           depart
           except
           he
           might
           have
           Audience
           on
           the
           Sofa
           ,
           Alledging
           it
           was
           the
           Order
           of
           his
           Master
           :
           He
           made
           no
           other
           Answer
           but
           commanded
           him
           to
           send
           him
           those
           Orders
           of
           the
           Emperor
           of
           France
           .
           But
           the
           most
           Illuminated
           Vizir
           having
           made
           them
           to
           be
           Interpreted
           to
           him
           ,
           returned
           
           them
           without
           saying
           one
           word
           ;
           which
           obliged
           the
           Ambassador
           to
           a
           Third
           :
           Wherein
           with
           Counterfeit
           earnestness
           he
           desires
           leave
           to
           retire
           ,
           pretending
           that
           the
           French
           Admiral
           was
           bound
           to
           stay
           for
           him
           .
           This
           useless
           refinement
           caused
           the
           Grand
           Vizir
           to
           smile
           ,
           who
           knew
           that
           General
           was
           immediately
           to
           depart
           ,
           and
           that
           the
           Envoy
           from
           him
           hourly
           pressed
           the
           Ambassador
           to
           dispatch
           him
           away
           .
        
         
           The
           Wise
           Vizir
           perceiving
           the
           subtile
           design
           of
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           who
           made
           not
           the
           least
           mention
           of
           discharging
           the
           Obligation
           he
           had
           given
           in
           Writing
           ,
           sent
           him
           this
           Answer
           .
           The
           most
           happy
           Port
           ,
           which
           is
           the
           Sanctuary
           of
           the
           Empires
           of
           the
           Age
           ,
           is
           ever
           open
           to
           all
           those
           who
           desire
           the
           Glory
           to
           enter
           :
           And
           those
           that
           would
           have
           the
           shame
           to
           depart
           ,
           we
           never
           detain
           by
           Force
           ,
           except
           they
           be
           Debtors
           .
           Thou
           mayest
           then
           be
           gone

           But
           first
           think
           of
           Paying
           thy

           the
           value
           of
           three
           Hundred

           The
           Ambassador
           ,
           who
           it
           seems

           had
           not

           well
           consider'd
           the
           consequence
           of
           his
           promise
           ,
           not
           dreaming
           perhaps

           They
           told
           him
           he
           was

           he
           was
           obliged
           to
           perform
           his
           promise
           .
           He
           declared
           that
           those
           Curiosities
           he
           had
           provided
           were
           rare
           and
           rich
           ,
           worthy
           the
           acceptance
           of
           the
           Invincible
           Emperor

           It
           was
           then
           required
           that
           they
           might
           be

           to
           which
           purpose
           some
           Persons
           were
           sent
           by
           the
           Soveraign
           Vizir
           :
           But
           upon
           their
           description
           contain'd
           in
           a
           Catalogue
           upon
           the
           first
           sight
           of
           them
           ,

           value

           Ambassador
           set
           upon

           were
           both
           rejected

           But
           there
           being
           no
           other
           way
           to

           The
           Envoy
           of
           the
           French
           Admiral
           
           was
           forced
           to
           be
           gone
           without
           taking
           with
           him
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           whom
           he
           was
           constrained
           to
           leave
           as
           a
           Debtor
           at
           the
           Port

           Felicity
           .
        
         
           The
           Grand
           Vizir
           whom
           nothing
           escapes
           ,
           understanding
           the
           hasty
           departure
           of
           the
           French
           Captain
           ,
           to
           joyn
           his
           Admiral
           to
           Sail
           with
           him
           for
           France
           :
           was
           then
           Confirm'd
           in
           the
           advice
           had
           been
           given
           him
           of
           the
           speedy
           departure
           of
           the
           French
           Fleet
           ;
           and
           though
           he
           knew
           well
           enough
           that
           the
           Embassador
           did
           not
           intend
           to
           fly
           stript
           away
           ,
           yet
           he
           counterfeited
           a
           care
           to
           prevent
           it
           ,
           as
           a
           thing
           unjust
           that
           he
           should
           go
           without
           paying
           .
        
         
           The
           time
           came
           on
           which
           makes
           it
           necessary
           that
           the
           Naval
           Force
           of
           the
           Emperor
           of
           the
           World
           should
           go
           forth
           ;
           Of
           which
           the
           Grand
           Vizir
           took
           particular
           Care
           ;
           going
           himself
           divers
           times
           to
           the
           Arsinal
           about
           it
           :
           So
           when
           it
           was
           ready
           to
           Sail
           and
           Salute
           with
           all
           its
           Cannon
           and
           Artillery
           ,
           the
           Soveraign
           of
           the
           Earth
           sitting
           upon
           his
           Throne
           of
           Felicity
           ,
           the
           Admiral
           went
           to
           prostrate
           himself
           before
           the
           Invincible
           Emperor
           ,
           and
           to
           receive
           his
           Orders
           .
           He
           was
           commanded
           to
           shape
           his
           Course
           for
           the
           Archipellagues
           ,
           and
           to
           receive
           the
           submissions
           of
           the
           French
           Admiral
           as
           he
           past
           :
           who
           would
           not
           as
           the
           Ambassador
           promised
           ,
           (
           fail
           to
           do
           his
           Duty
           :
           )
           After
           which
           he
           was
           to
           proceed
           as
           occasions
           required
           .
           All
           was
           performed
           as
           was
           Order'd
           .
           The
           
             Capoudan
             Pacha
          
           doubled
           the
           Point
           of
           the
           Seraglio
           with
           his
           Fleet
           :
           and
           having
           past
           the
           Jaws
           or
           old
           Castles
           ,
           came
           to
           an
           Anchor
           at
           the
           Mouth
           of
           the
           Gulf
           ,
           where
           having
           received
           the
           Respects
           of
           the
           old
           French
           Admiral
           ,
           he
           weighed
           and
           continued
           his
           way
           :
           It
           seem'd
           as
           if
           this
           French
           Admiral
           only
           waited
           for
           that
           happy
           moment
           ,
           for
           it
           was
           no
           sooner
           past
           but
           he
           hoysted
           Sail
           for
           his
           own
           Countrey
           :
           very
           joyful
           no
           doubt
           to
           escape
           that
           just
           punishment
           his
           rashness
           had
           merited
           .
        
         
           The
           most
           honor'd
           Vizir
           well
           satisfied
           so
           to
           have
           mortified
           the
           Old
           Man
           ,
           applied
           all
           his
           Thoughts
           in
           contriving
           the
           reparation

           in
           Publick
           and
           Solemn
           Pomp
           ,
           to
           be
           made
           in
           the
           presence
           of
           the
           August
           Monarch
           of
           the
           Universe
           :
           To
           which
           purpose
           he
           sent
           for
           the
           
             Grand
             Dowanier
          
           ,
           merrily
           asking
           him
           ,
           when
           he
           would
           make
           an
           end
           of
           his
           very
           good
           Friends
           
           business
           ;
           adding
           ,
           though
           with
           Authority
           ,
           that
           it
           must
           now
           be
           dispatcht
           .
           They
           both
           were
           of
           opinion
           there
           would
           be
           little
           difficulty
           in
           bringing
           it
           about
           ,
           being
           certain
           the
           Ambassador
           would
           not
           be
           sorry
           to
           get
           forth
           of
           the
           trouble
           ;
           especially
           now
           ,
           when
           the
           Admiral
           was
           gone
           :
           But
           they
           thought
           some
           Arguments
           would
           be
           necessary
           to
           persuade
           him
           ;
           as
           first
           ,
           That
           he
           was
           obliged
           by
           his
           promise
           ,
           made
           as
           Ambassador
           ,
           to
           repair
           the
           damage
           done
           by
           his
           Master's
           Ships
           :
           That
           there
           was
           an
           appearance
           too
           of
           Orders
           come
           from
           France
           ,
           which
           left
           it
           to
           his
           discretion
           ,
           as
           things
           should
           occur
           upon
           the
           place
           ;
           upon
           which
           ,
           and
           other
           Arguments
           ,
           they
           both
           concluded
           ,
           that
           if
           he
           was
           prest
           and
           threat'ned
           he
           would
           yield
           .
           But
           the
           Dowanier
           went
           on
           with
           the
           Discourse
           to
           the
           Vizir
           in
           these
           Terms
           :
           I
           can
           assure
           you
           ,
           my
           most
           happy
           Master
           ,
           that
           the
           Ambassador
           demurs
           not
           but
           only
           for
           appearances
           ;
           he
           disputes
           of
           the
           quality
           of
           the
           Presents
           and
           quantity
           of
           Money
           ,
           that
           it
           may
           not
           be
           supposed
           in
           France
           he
           yields
           too
           easily
           ;
           give
           him
           a
           little
           time
           to
           please
           his
           fancy
           with
           feigned
           resistance
           ,
           and
           he
           will
           make
           the
           less
           Reflection
           on
           the
           manner
           he
           is
           to
           make
           his
           Submissions
           ;
           he
           desires
           to
           have
           it
           thought
           ,
           that
           he
           gives
           no
           Money
           ,
           and
           desires
           extremely
           to
           have
           that
           remitted
           or
           conceal'd
           ;
           but
           how
           can
           that
           be
           ,
           when
           it
           must
           be
           borrowed
           of
           the
           English
           and
           Hollanders
           ?
           He
           would
           have
           it
           likewise
           thought
           ,
           that
           he
           Augments
           not
           his
           Presents
           ,
           when
           already
           they
           are
           increas'd
           ,
           and
           trust
           to
           me
           shall
           be
           more
           yet
           ;
           I
           know
           besides
           ,
           says
           the
           Dowanier
           ,
           that
           there
           is
           a
           Letter
           come
           from
           the
           Emperor
           of
           France
           ,
           containing
           excuses
           for
           the
           business
           of
           Chio
           ;
           therefore
           there
           will
           be
           no
           more
           to
           do
           but
           to
           hasten
           him
           :
           They
           then
           consulted
           the
           manner
           of
           proceeding
           ;
           first
           ,
           he
           had
           been
           told
           beforehand
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           a
           Custom
           to
           send
           to
           Debtors
           ,
           even
           Ambassadors
           themselves
           ,
           a
           Chiaux
           to
           mind
           them
           of
           what
           was
           expected
           from
           them
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           comply
           :
           But
           to
           amuse
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           they
           concluded
           to
           give
           him
           occasion
           to
           feed
           his
           vanity
           ,
           by
           the
           quality
           of
           the
           Messenger
           was
           sent
           unto
           him
           ,
           which
           would
           be
           a
           little
           comfort
           to
           him
           ,
           for
           what
           he
           was
           to
           suffer
           .
           They
           sent
           therefore
           an
           Officer
           ,
           that
           is
           ,
           him
           who
           is
           Judge
           of
           the
           Chiauxes
           ;
           which
           indeed
           
           was
           contriv'd
           to
           make
           the
           business
           more
           publick
           :
           When
           he
           came
           to
           the
           Ambassador
           ,
           accompanied
           by
           the
           Interpreter
           of
           the
           Port
           ,
           and
           had
           Communicated
           to
           him
           the
           Imperial
           Orders
           for
           payment
           ,
           and
           the
           necessity
           of
           appeasing
           the
           
           Sultan's
           wrath
           ,
           by
           publick
           Submissions
           and
           Satisfactions
           ,
           capable
           to
           procure
           the
           effects
           of
           his
           Clemency
           :
           He
           again
           flew
           back
           to
           his
           former
           Allegations
           and
           Imaginations
           ,
           desiring
           to
           defer
           the
           business
           ,
           protesting
           he
           would
           not
           in
           the
           least
           increase
           his
           Presents
           .
           But
           they
           being
           sensible
           of
           his
           dissimulation
           ,
           advis'd
           him
           as
           soon
           as
           might
           be

           to
           get
           out
           of
           the
           difficulty
           :
           Which
           done
           the

           His
           Interpreters
           too
           ,
           received
           daily
           the
           same
           advice
           ,
           with
           frequent
           Threats
           of
           the
           Seven
           Towers

           yet
           still
           the
           Ambassadour
           seem'd

           ,
           and
           a
           Letter
           he
           writ
           to
           the
           Kehaia
           ,
           to

           even
           death
           it self

           rather
           then

           ready
           Money
           ,
           or

           which
           it

           And
           because
           it
           was
           judged
           to

           is
           to
           consider
           ,
           that
           the
           Ambassadors
           of
           France
           did
           not
           use
           to
           attend
           the
           Kehaia
           ,
           but
           Incognito
           ,
           and
           Clothed
           in
           Turkish
           Habit
           ,
           with
           few
           followers
           ,
           pretending
           it
           to
           be
           a
           Condescention
           below
           them
           ,
           only
           comply'd
           with
           to
           expedite
           business
           .
           But
           now
           it
           was
           judged
           necessary
           to
           change
           that
           Custom
           ,
           and
           oblige
           the
           Ambassadour
           to
           come
           in
           his
           own
           Habit
           ,
           with
           his
           Interpreters
           ,
           Secretaries
           ,
           Merchants
           ,
           and
           Foot-men
           ;
           that
           all
           the
           Town
           might
           know
           it
           was
           the
           French
           Ambassador
           ,
           who
           came
           publickly
           to
           attend
           the
           Secretary
           of
           the
           Vizir
           ,
           to
           end
           the
           business
           about
           the
           Pardon
           for
           the
           attempt
           at
           Chio
           ,
           and
           to
           agree
           the
           reparations
           for
           the
           damage
           done
           there
           .
           He
           made
           no
           difficulty
           to
           come
           publickly
           as
           was
           desir'd
           ,
           though
           perhaps
           he
           might
           be
           ignorant
           of
           the
           Cause
           .
           The
           Kehaia
           propos'd
           to
           him
           the
           Augmentation
           
           of
           his
           Presents
           ,
           which
           he
           pretended
           to
           refuse
           ;
           they
           seemed
           earnestly
           to
           press
           him
           ,
           and
           he
           as
           earnestly
           to
           resist
           ;
           but
           all
           his
           seeming
           Obstinacy
           ,
           and
           their
           Reiterated
           Instances
           to
           perswade
           him
           ,
           was
           no
           more
           but
           a
           meer
           Comedy
           ,
           for
           the
           Sum
           to
           be
           presented
           the
           Sultan
           was
           adjusted
           before
           :
           And
           the
           Dowanier
           had
           undertaken
           for
           the
           Augmentation
           of
           the
           Presents
           .
           So
           the
           Ambassador
           went
           back
           with
           an
           Imaginary
           satisfaction
           of
           a
           Mock-bravery
           :
           He
           had
           caused
           a
           Rumor
           to
           be
           spread
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           to
           be
           sent
           to
           the
           Seven
           Towers
           ;
           that
           coming
           back
           to
           his
           House
           ,
           it
           might
           be
           thought
           his
           Conduct
           had
           preserved
           him
           ,
           which
           would
           make
           both
           that
           ,
           and
           his
           Courage
           be
           admir'd
           at
           by
           Strangers
           :
           To
           which
           vapour
           of
           Vain-Glory
           for
           his
           comfort
           we
           may
           quietly
           leave
           him
           ;
           whilst
           the
           most
           prudent
           Vizir
           thought
           of
           nothing
           more
           then
           the
           manner
           to
           make
           most
           visible
           ,
           most
           submissive
           ,
           and
           most
           acceptible
           ,
           his
           Sacrifice
           of
           Expiation
           for
           the
           attempt
           at
           Chio
           :
           It
           was
           first
           resolved
           to
           take
           the
           opportunity
           to
           reduce
           the
           French
           Ambassador
           ,
           by
           this
           occasion
           ,
           to
           a
           custom
           refused
           by
           all
           his
           Predecessors
           ,
           and
           to
           which
           none
           of
           them
           would
           ever
           submit
           ;
           which
           was
           ,
           to
           have
           their
           Presents
           seen
           and
           valued
           before
           they
           were
           offer'd
           :
           It
           was
           supposed
           the
           Ambassador
           would
           hardly
           refuse
           it
           ,
           if
           his
           Interpreters
           did
           but
           tell
           him
           it
           was
           the
           Custom
           ;
           And
           we
           were
           very
           desirous
           he
           should
           yield
           to
           it
           at
           this
           time
           ,
           the
           more
           because
           the
           People
           would
           the
           sooner
           think
           he
           was
           ready
           to
           Augment
           his
           Presents
           ,
           in
           case
           the
           Sultan
           should
           not
           in
           his
           Clemency
           agree
           to
           accept
           those
           he
           had
           prepar'd
           :
           He
           yielded
           the
           Point
           ,
           and
           now
           nothing
           was
           in
           dispute
           but
           the
           place
           where
           the
           Presents
           ,
           the
           Money
           ,
           and
           the
           French
           Emperors
           Letter
           should
           be
           receiv'd
           ,
           who
           should
           receive
           them
           ,
           who
           should
           carry
           them
           ,
           and
           in
           what
           manner
           they
           should
           be
           presented
           .
           The
           Great
           Divan
           was
           thought
           one
           ,
           as
           the
           place
           where
           Ambassadors
           are
           receiv'd
           ,
           the
           Army
           paid
           ,
           and
           Justice
           distributed
           :
           But
           this
           proposition
           was
           rejected
           ,
           as
           not
           publick
           enough
           ;
           and
           because
           that
           things
           ,
           which
           were
           to
           pass
           in
           the
           Submission
           ,
           might
           be
           confounded
           with
           the
           Ceremonies
           of
           the
           Ambassadors
           Audience
           ,
           which
           he
           ought
           not
           to
           receive
           till
           some
           time
           after
           he
           had
           expiated
           that
           disorder
           at
           Chio
           ,
           the
           
           only
           thing
           able
           to
           render
           him
           worthy
           the
           presence
           of
           the
           Emperor
           of
           the
           World.
           There
           were
           divers
           other
           places
           propos'd
           ,
           but
           after
           full
           Consideration
           ,
           that
           the
           injury
           for
           which
           Reparation

           that
           perhaps
           he
           would
           come
           for
           that

           continual
           Intelligence

           the
           Emperor
           of

           ,
           That
           the

           being
           resolved

           proofs
           of

           I

           and
           conjectures
           they

           near

           that
           is

           of

           The
           Ambassador
           denied
           all
           those
           things
           which
           seem'd
           to
           wound
           the
           Reputation
           of
           his
           Master
           :
           And
           the
           Dowanier
           seeming
           to
           believe
           him
           ,
           changed

           saying

           come

           's
           to

           I

           brought
           hither
           my
           Officers
           that
           value
           the
           Customs
           ,
           to
           make
           Estimation
           of
           your
           Presents
           according
           to
           usage
           ;
           and
           offer
           you
           my
           advice
           ,
           as
           a
           
           friend
           ,
           wherein
           to
           augment
           them
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           in
           some
           degree
           be
           worthy
           to
           be
           offer'd
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           Supporter
           of
           the
           World
           ;
           and
           that
           we
           may
           the
           better
           prevail
           with
           him
           to
           accept
           them
           .
           They
           thereupon
           brought
           the
           Dowanier
           into
           the
           fairest
           Chamber
           of
           the
           French
           Seraglio
           ,
           where
           he
           was
           much
           surprised
           not
           to
           see
           the
           Principal
           Wall
           garnish'd
           with
           Looking-Glasses
           :
           But
           applying
           himself
           to
           the
           Observation
           of
           the
           Presents
           ,
           and
           advising
           with
           the
           Praisers
           ,
           he
           told
           the
           Ambassador
           that
           these
           he
           brought
           with
           him
           ,
           but
           he
           must
           add
           to
           them
           those
           he
           had
           since
           sent
           for
           from
           France
           ,
           besides
           some
           Jewels
           :
           These
           last
           the
           Ambassador
           desired
           him
           to
           buy
           for
           him
           ,
           which
           he
           promised
           to
           do
           :
           He
           mention'd
           too
           the
           ready
           Money
           ,
           but
           the
           Ambassador
           protested
           he
           had
           none
           ,
           and
           intreated
           him
           to
           lend
           him
           some
           ;
           which
           he
           consented
           to
           do
           :
           But
           the
           Ambassador
           desiring
           that
           the
           Money
           might
           be
           delivered
           secretly
           ,
           could
           obtain
           only
           a
           doubtful
           answer
           from
           the
           Dowanier
           ;
           though
           to
           comfort
           him
           he
           readily
           granted
           him
           another
           request
           ,
           which
           was
           ,
           That
           his
           Presents
           might
           be
           carried
           to
           the
           Sultan
           by
           his
           own
           People
           .
           This
           ,
           though
           the
           surest
           proof
           of
           his
           Submission
           ,
           was
           by
           the
           Dowanier
           magnified
           to
           him
           as
           an
           exceeding
           favour
           ,
           who
           told
           him
           ,
           it
           must
           be
           done
           then
           by
           his
           Kehaia
           ,
           Clerks
           ,
           and
           some
           Merchants
           ;
           who
           must
           be
           well
           Instructed
           ,
           to
           comply
           with
           all
           the
           Ceremonies
           would
           be
           taught
           them
           ;
           and
           to
           behave
           themselves
           with
           Modesty
           ,
           Silence
           ,
           and
           Gravity
           .
           He
           then
           mention'd
           the
           Letter
           from
           the
           Emperor
           of
           France
           ,
           which
           the
           Ambassador
           would
           have
           excused
           ,
           but
           at
           last
           promised
           to
           deliver
           .
           This
           whole
           Intertainment
           ,
           and
           great
           Negotiation
           ,
           was
           mingled
           with
           those
           ordinary
           ones
           of
           
             Cahu
             ,
             Sherbet
          
           ,
           and
           Sweet-water
           ,
           and
           more
           then
           one
           Collation
           of
           Fruit.
           The
           Ambassador
           often
           reiterated
           his
           Protestations
           of
           Friendship
           and
           Acknowledgment
           to
           the
           Dowanier
           ;
           the
           Praisers
           neither
           were
           not
           forgotten
           :
           So
           when

           instructed

           these
           Ceremonies
           ,
           that
           the
           least
           motion
           of

           so
           they
           rais'd
           hastily
           these
           prostrated
           Slaves

           and
           made
           them
           return
           back
           without
           giving
           them
           time
           to
           behold
           the
           sublime
           Majesty

           Thus
           the

           performed
           their

           yet
           his

           my
           most
           honoured
           Lord.
           The
           matter
           is
           in
           it self
           so
           splendid
           ,
           that
           it
           needs
           no
           more
           but
           the
           pure
           and
           simple
           relation
           to

           it
           be
           admir'd
           ;
           and
           Eloquence
           would
           but
           
           serve
           to
           hide
           some
           part
           of
           the
           Luster

           I
           have
           therefore
           used
           no
           disguises
           ,
           nor
           indeed
           hesitated
           to
           mix
           some
           particulars
           in
           my
           relation
           which
           deserve
           to
           be
           kept
           secret
           ;
           so
           that
           I
           have
           made
           this
           rather
           a
           little
           Book
           then
           a

           nor
           have
           I
           yet
           fully
           done

           you
           the

           his

           to
           divert
           from
           them
           the
           fury

           they

           our
           Master

           tell
           us

           That
           the
           Emperor

           restless
           Prince

           very
           Powerful

           them
           great
           trouble
           by
           his
           Victories

           against
           the
           Turks

           that
           we
           ought

           consider
           him

           but
           he
           had
           certainly
           obtained
           it
           without
           all
           those
           pains
           he
           hath
           taken
           ,
           if
           he
           had
           not

           Majesty
           without
           this
           fear
           ,
           had
           vigorously
           opposed
           the
           Progress
           of
           the
           Male-contents
           in

           A
           Resolution
           so
           necessary
           had
           subdued
           those
           Rebels
           ,
           and
           made
           the
           Infidels
           know

           to
           receive
           them
           :
           but
           whilst
           that
           Court
           became
           Ballanced
           with
           a
           desire
           of
           carrying
           the
           War

           they
           delayed
           both
           ;
           and
           through
           an
           untimely
           Fear
           of
           the
           most
           remote
           danger

           stood
           still
           in
           an
           unactive
           Speculation
           ,
           which
           perhaps
           may
           draw
           upon
           them
           Enemies

           Negotiation
           appears
           to
           be
           brought

           the

           his
           obstinacy
           of

           not
           one
           think

           this
           Minister
           deceives
           himself
           in
           that
           pleasure
           ,
           since
           it
           is

           that
           business
           was
           determined
           sufficiently
           to
           his
           Glory
           ,

           We
           must
           remember
           that
           whilst
           Monsieur

           besieged
           the

           that
           Minister
           being
           much
           astonish'd
           discours'd
           as
           if
           he

           give
           that
           honour
           ,
           as
           soon
           as
           the
           Galleys
           were
           returned
           to
           Constantinople
           :
           Monsieur
           Guilleragues
           ,
           who
           believ'd
           him
           ,
           procured
           them
           liberty
           to
           come
           ;
           but
           the
           Promise
           ,
           which
           was
           the
           Foundation
           of

           unperform'd
           .
           See
           then
           how
           this
           Minister
           deceived
           himself
           in
           letting
           escape
           a
           sure
           way
           of
           obtaining
           his
           desires

           and
           in
           believing
           the
           Turks
           capable
           of
           fair
           dealing
           in
           a
           nice
           Rancounter

           It
           is
           known
           how
           long
           the
           time
           was
           delay'd
           before
           they
           came
           to
           an
           end
           of
           the

           of

           that
           is
           to
           say
           ,
           the
           Reparation
           for
           the

           upon
           Chio
           :
           But
           the
           more
           we
           perceive
           the
           Turkish
           Ministers
           to
           have
           a

           finish
           it
           ,
           the
           more
           ,
           it
           is
           evident
           ,
           he
           should
           have
           refused
           to
           put
           an
           end
           to
           that
           fine
           business
           ,
           without
           having
           first
           the
           Sofa
           :
           But
           Monsieur
           Guilleragues
           is
           content
           with
           the
           words
           they
           gave
           him
           on

           still
           without
           the
           Sofa
           :
           There
           we
           see
           him

           it
           away

           render'd
           it
           useless
           when
           there
           ,
           where
           it
           might

           the
           same
           time
           there
           was
           a
           certain
           Rumor

           All

           not
           able
           to
           discourage
           him

           he
           applies
           again
           to
           his

           Journeys

           to
           that
           Minister

           Necessity
           ,
           it
           being
           not

           That
           he

           he
           continued
           obstinate
           ,
           they

           The

           angry
           Menaces

           found
           a

           as
           was
           pretended

           moderated
           the

           so
           that
           he
           declared
           himself

           as
           soon

           came
           to
           Adrianople

           time
           .
           For
           it
           is
           certain
           ,
           the
           depriving
           him
           so
           long
           of
           it
           can
           justly
           be
           imputed
           to
           none
           but
           himself
           ,
           who
           in
           that
           is
           Master
           .
           Therefore
           his
           best
           excuse
           will
           be
           to
           say
           that
           his
           Interpreters
           surpriz'd
           him
           :
           But
           all
           these
           Cheats
           would
           appear
           but
           Trifles
           ,
           so
           he
           be
           not
           cheated
           too
           by
           the
           renewing
           the
           Truce
           with
           the
           Emperor
           .
           And
           should
           there
           be
           a
           War
           ,
           it
           would
           advantage
           him
           but
           little
           ;
           and
           it
           is
           plain
           ,
           nothing
           would
           be
           of
           more
           use
           to
           him
           ,
           then
           the
           playing
           again
           ,
           the
           Cannon
           of
           his
           King
           ;
           It
           must
           not
           be
           forgotten
           that
           the
           Ambassador
           would
           have
           it
           believ'd
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           ended
           the
           great
           Business
           at

           for
           
           Baubles
           ,
           even
           just
           nothing
           :
           And
           that
           he
           had
           in
           a
           manner
           forc't

           Audience
           to
           his
           Servants
           .
           This
           ridiculous
           Report
           ,
           and
           groundless
           Vanity
           ,
           is

           fill'd

           the

           Condescension
