three hundred young maids Others say he went abroad on Horse-back attended by ninety thousand Servants Men and Maids who belonged to him young men and young maids all Marriageable They relate that he gave very reproachful words to Moses and the Children of Israel priding himself in his great Wealth Moses taking much at his hands for Kindred sake and not willing to be incensed against him till the Ordinance for the payment of Tiths came down Then Moses made an Agreement with Caron that of a thousand Crowns of Gold he should pay one and of a thousand Drachmes one But his Soul grew the more Covetous by reason of the great quantity of Gold and Silver which he had after he had counted it and found so much He thereupon assembled the Children of Israel and began to make Speeches to them and spoke to them in these terms Moses has hitherto dealt with you as he pleased himself and now he would take away your goods You are our Lord and Master reply'd they command us to do what you think good We must said he corrupt such a one naming a woman of a lewd life and induce her to calumniate Moses so as that he may be suspected to have had some dealings with her that the Children of Israel may be put out of the good opinion they have of him and have an aversion for him and at last quite forsake him They promised that debauch'd woman a 1000. Crowne of gold others say a Basin full of gold Then the day of one of their Festivals being come Moses stood up to speak to them and after he had praised God and given thanks he spoke thus O ye Children of Israel God commands you me also that if any one among us be a Thief we should put him away from us if any one commit Fornication and be not married we should punish him with the Whip and if he be married we should stone him And if you your self have committed those crimes O Moses said Caron Yes reply'd Moses though it were my self Certainly reply'd Caron the Children of Israel believe that you have sinned with such a woman naming the debauched woman Moses having heard these words sent for the woman and charged her by him who had divided the Sea and sent the Law from Heaven to declare the truth Then God of his mercy touched the womans heart and she spoke thus By the true God those who say it speak an untruth but true it is that Caron and his people have promised me a reward if I testify'd that you had sinned with me O great Prophet who have spoken to God Then Moses fell down to the ground and worshipped God weeping and made this Prayer to him O Lord if I am thy Apostle avenge me for it is impossible for me to endure those who have not thy fear before their eyes And God revealed his will to him speaking thus Command the Earth to do what thou desirest and by my permission it shall obey thee Moses lift up his head and said to the people O ye Children of Israel God hath sent me to Caron as he sent me to Pharao let such of you as are of his party stand near him They all withdrew from Caron save onely two men who continued obstinate in their wrath their imposture and their malice Then Moses spoke thus O Earth take them Immediately the Earth swallowed them three up to the Waste Moses said again O Earth take them and the Earth took them in up to the Neck Then Caron and his two Companions began to entreat Moses to be merciful to them but Moses made no account of their Prayers for he was too much incensed On the contrary he pronounced the third time the same words O Earth take them and detain them in thy Bowels till the day of Judgment Then the Earth swallow'd them up quite and closed over their Heads Then said God to Moses O Moses thou art very inhumane my Creatures implored thy mercy several times and thou hast not had compassion on them By my greatness and by my glory had they but once called upon me they should have found me favourable and ready to hear them After that said the Author those of the Children of Israel who were not wise began to say Moses has not made imprecations against Caron but to possess himself after his death of his Tteasures and his House Moses hearing of this was angry at it and prayed to God that the House of Caron and all his goods might be swallowed into the bottom of the Earth The All-mighty and All-good God testifies it himself when he speaks thus And we have made him and his House to descend into the Bowels of the Earth he means Caron and no man can relieve him against God and he was not of those who are relieved They relate that the Commander of the Faithful Omar Gods peace be with him writ a Letter to Gamrou the son of Gasus who commanded in Egypt after he had Conquered it and had disposed of the affairs thereof and had imposed the Tribute on such as he had received by composition as well the Coptites as the other Inhabitants of it Behold the Tenure of that Letter From Gabdol Omar the son of Chettab to Gamrou the son of Gasus God give you his peace O Gamrou and his mercy and his benedictions and to all the Mussulmans generally After that I give God thanks for the favours he hath done you there is no other God but he and I pray him to bless Mahumet and his Family I know O Gamrou by by the relation which hath been made me thereof that the Province whereof you have the Government is pleasant and well Fortify'd well Cultivated and very Populous that the Pharaos and the Amalekites have Reigned there that they have display'd therein the marks of their greatness and of their pride imagining they were Eternal and taking where they had not made any accompt But now God hath established you in their Habitations and put into your power their Wealth their Servants and their Children and made you Inheritor of their Land praise and blessing and thanks be to him To him belongs honour and glory When you have received this my Letter write me the particular qualities of Egypt as well in respect of the Land as the Sea and make me know it as if I had seen it my self God preserve you Gamrou having received this Letter and seen what it contained answered Omar Gods peace be with him and writ to him in these terms From Gabdol Gamrou the son of Gasus the Son of Vail the Sa●amian to the Successor of the Apostle of God Gods peace and mercy be with him Omar the son of Chettab Commander of the Faithful one of the Chaliphs according to the right way whose Letter I have

Syene to Asmoumus what is from Asmon to Memphis and to Abribus all the flat Countrey from about Saram and the Fennes as far as beyond Barca so that he was Lord also of Afric and the Africans He recommended it to every one of his children to build himself a City in his Country and enjoyn'd them all together at the hour of his death to make him a Cave in the earth to pave it with white Emeralds to dispose his Body into it and to bury with him whatever there was in his Treasuries of Gold Silver and Precions Stones and to write thereupon such names as might divert any from approaching it They made a Cave 150 Cubits in length and in the midst a place of Assembly wainscoated with Plates of Gold and Silver having 4 Doors and over every Door a Statue of Gold wearing a Crown beset with Precious stones and seated on a Throne of Gold the feet whereof were of Topaze They graved on the breast of each Statue great names able to divert any from approaching them and disposed the body of Masar into a Tomb of Marble covered with Plates of Gold and writ upon it Masar the son of Bansar the son of Cham the son of Noah died aged seven hundred years from the days of the Deluge He died without ever having adored any Idol not broken with old age nor troubled with sickness not having felt any evil or pain nor afflicted with any sadness care or displeasure They fortified him also with the great Names of GOD which never permit such as are fortified therewith to fall into contempt or be oppressed They swore moreover the greatest of all Oaths that none should come near him unless he were a King who had 7 of his sons Kings and not any of them a servant or slave or poor or necessitous who followed the Religion of the King the just Judge that is to say the true God and believed the Prophet of the Merciful sent with the Alcoran to bring the World to the Faith in the last times They also placed near him a thousand pieces of Topaze made round about him and a thousand Statues of precious Stones of great value and Gernes or great Vessels containing the Sciences of the Divine Art and the secret Drugs and the admirable Talismans and Ingots of gold in great heaps like sand or stones They cover'd that Cave with great stones and sand spread thereon between two Mountains opposite one to the other The first King of Egypt who Reigned after the Deluge was Masar the son of Bansar the son of Cham after him Reign'd his son Coptim then his son Coptarim then his son Budesir then his son Gadim then his son Sedathe then his son Mancaos then his son Casaos then his son Marbis then his son Asmar then his son Citin then his son Elsabas then his son Sa then his son Malil then his son Hadares then his son Cheribas then his son Calcan then his son Totis who is he whom the Arabians call The Just For this is the Pharao of Egypt who had conversation with the Beloved of God Abraham Gods peace be with him as also with Mahumet and Mercy and who by force would have taken away from him his Wife Sara which happen'd thus The Beloved of God Gods peace and mercy be with him after God had destroy'd the cursed Nimrod his enemy took his Journey out of the Land of Gueraca and came to Egypt accompany'd by his Wife Sara Gods peace be with her and left Lot behind him in Syria Sara was one of the most beautiful Women in the World they say Joseph Gods peace be with him inherited her Beauty Abraham therefore says the Author being come he and his wife into Egypt the Guards who were at the City-gate having seen Sara admired her beauty and went presently to give notice of it to King Totis and said to him There came into the City a man of the Eastern Countrey accompany'd by a Woman the most beautiful and most handsom that can be seen Immediately Totis sent for Abraham and said to him Whence are you Of Gueraca reply'd Abraham The King enquired further of him concerning his business and he gave him an account thereof Then he said to him What relation hath that woman to you She is my Sister said Abraham Then the King said to his Visier Bid him bring her to me that I may see her That displeased Abraham very much but it was not possible for him to disobey yet he knew that God would not permit any dishonour to happen in his Family he therefore said to Sara Go your ways to the King but without fear or troubling your self for you are under his tuition who hath created you who will divert from you whatever you may be afraid of and will assist both you and me with his favours But what would the King with me said Sara more then with you I hope said Abraham it will be nothing but what is good with the help of the Almighty They therefore conducted Sara to Totis's Pa-Palace accompany'd by Abraham The King having seen her was surpriz'd with her beauty and behaviour and said to Abraham What is this Woman to you She is my Sister reply'd Abraham He meant his Sister in God according to the Religion which he professed Whereupon Abraham's heart felt the ordinary sentiments of a jealous man he wished he had never come into Egypt Then he began to say O God suffer not the Family of Abraham to be dishonoured At which words the Veils and the Curtains were drawn before him so that he saw Sara speaking to the King The King put forth his hand to touch her but she presently said to him If you put your hand on me you are undone Accordingly even before the Kings hand was quite come to Sara and had touched her that hand shrunk up all the Kings members shook and Death presented it self on all sides He continued immoveable not able to stir and spoke thus O Woman deliver me from the evil that is fallen upon me and go whither you will I will do it said she conditionally you do not renew your attempt against me I promise it reply'd the King Whereupon she prayed God for him and God delivered him from the evil which had happen'd to him He recovered his health and said Certainly he is a great Lord whom you adore that is manifest Then he enquir'd of her who Abraham was and of what
