Greece those People being willing to embrace a Christian Defender against that unsupportable slavery which they suffer from the Turk but he considering his Fathers ill success in Africa though ascribable more to Tempest than to any other Cause would never cast his eye upon that Enterprize being bent upon far worse to the disturbance of Christendom so that it appears he is the only Prince that is able to give him a Potent Diversion were not his Fleets otherwise employed But withall this King at present is so exhausted that he is not in a Capacity to undertake such an Expedition without the assistance of other Christian Princes which the Venetians have a long while in vain implored and he cannot hope to expect it till the danger is more eminent and then hee 'l find wayes to defend himself This may be certainly concluded on he will do what in him lyeth to keep the Turk from swallowing the Haereditary Countries of the Emperour in which he hath an Expectation and Reversion and will spare him such Supplies however he pincheth for it as shall testifie his Zeal Affection and Care for the Imperial Family And so having finished this survey of Spain we will next take a short view of Portugall PORTUGALL INto this Kingdom of Portugall are reckoned as in Spain two other Kingdomes so teeming are these little Soveraignties of other Principalities namely the Kingdom of Algarve and that of the Isles of the Azores or the Terceras Portugall is bounded on the North with two Rivers which part it from Gallicia on the South with Algarve on the West with the Atlantique Ocean and on the East with the new and old Castile Extended on the Sea Coast from North to South reckoning in the Kingdom of Algarve 400. Miles in breadth not exceeding a 100. and in some places not 80. and 60. The Country is very destitute and unprovided of Corn but that supplyed by Wine Oyl Figgs and other Fruits as for Cattel they have no store nor have they much use of them as in Spain the People being naturally hot and dry and delighting in Fruits and Sallads as cooling and satisfying also This Kingdom is now governed by Alphonso the 6th who hath a Brother a very hopeful Gentleman named Don Pedro of the House of Braganza whose Claim against Philip the 2d descended of Mary fifth Daughter of Emanuel King of Portugal but immediate surviving Heir to Henry her Brother third Son of Emanuel Cardinal and King of Portugall was judged lost when the Crown came into his Fathers Possession for that his Ancestor had married Katherine the Daughter of Prince Edward fourth Son of Emanuel who dyed indeed before his Brother the Cardinal King Henry It is true the Prince of Parma had married Mary her elder Sister but against that the Civilians alleged that the Crown by a peculiar Law of that Kingdom passed in such Cases to such Heirs as were Natives of the Realm However the Title was the People were resolved the House of Braganza should have the Crown which was wonderfully accomplish'd in 1640. and of which we will discourse no further This Crown hath had wonderful Successes both in the East and West-Indies where they have wrested Brasile from the Hollanders and at Home also for though they be but a handful of People yet by immuring themselves in such strong Places as they took by Shipping and Naval Sieges from the Indians and venturing in all weathers to relieve one another to the disappointment of their Enemies who thought by Sieges at Land to recover the Places they had lost by the opportunity of such tempestuous seasons they have fixed themselves so in those Indies that they command a great part thereof and the best also till by our Assistance some forty Years agoe the Persian recovered Ormus the notedst Place of Trade then in the East and in defence whereof they defeated two Navies of the Turks who hath his City and Port of Aden in the same Sea but now the Turk and they have done and the Persian is in their room At Home he is engaged against the Spaniard but the War hath proved so fortunate to him that he hath rather got than lost by it however it is hoped it will be composed by a Peace although there are several Interests which do with-hold it all they can The French deserted them by the late general Treaty but it is conceived they would stick as close to them now The Dutch do no way care that the Portugalls should have Peace at home for their fingers itch at Brasile and they have been long quarrelling about it for Damages but they are in fear of Seconds besides that they are now in prosecution of a War in the East-Indies where also they have had some Successes It concerns Us that the King of Portugall our chief Ally should be advanced to a Condition of Prosperity and Grandeur and no wayes will be omitted conducing thereunto With other Princes and States this Kingdom hath not to do save with the Pope who hath at last promised the Confirmation of all Ecclesiastical Preferments and the Bishops other Clergy in that Kingdom Unless with some of the African Potentates which Affair is devolved upon our Shoulders by our Possession of Tangier as we are likewise of some Places in the Kingdom of Goa in the East-Indies By all which it may be guessed what a great loss happened to the King of Spain when this Kingdom and all its Dominions at the same day revolted from him The Force of this Kingdom is not very great the Commanders finding much adoe to bring 20000. Effectif Men into the Field against the Spaniard nor are those well provided or harnessed but such hath been their resolution and animosity against their old Enemy the Castilians that they have generally carried away the Victory and what Wings We have added to Her Fame hath already told the World As the Force but the Fortune of this Kingdom is little considerable so is the Revenue saving that the Patrimony of this Prince is of great value and yearly Intrado for as Duke of Braganza he possesseth more than one third of the Kingdom and there is a little belonging to the Crown The rest of his Revenues come by his Customes with this he maintains several Store-houses all along the Country a dayes march commonly from one another for the subsistence of the marching Army and the relief of the sick or travelling Souldiers with Passes as he doth Ships of War for security of his Trade that of Sugar bringing him in exceeding great Profit As to the Turk he hath no leisure to look towards him nor is he accommodated with Ships or Naval Apparel to engage him His Navy consisting chiefly of great and slow Gallions built for Burden and Defence and against swelling Seas and for other Coasts and the great deep Ocean so that they would soon perish in the windings of the Mediterranean and therefore we cannot consider him as any Help against
