the rest said the Third I have but one Wife and that a very bad one We have been marry'd these three Years and I have toil●d Night and Day to get her with Child At last by the Blessing of the Prophet I did the Feat and in a little time expected to see the Fruit of my Labours But that Traitour has this Day destroy'd what I cou'd hardly get in three Years he put my Wife into such a Fright that she miscarry'd three Months before the Time Judge Sir with what Impatience and Fear the Baker expected his Doom and how the Cadi was puzzl'd to bring him off in Spite of so many clamorous Accusers Yet the Difficulty of the Case serv'd only to show the Dexterity of the Judge as you will easily perceive by his Answers to the Three Plaintiffs I cannot said he to the First oblige a Man to restore a Goose which he affirms flew out of his hands I confess the Story is very surprizing and improbable but we must always give credit to an honest Man's Word And therefore since thou canst produce no Witnesses to disprove it thou must e'en resolve to bear thy Mifortune patiently As for thee said he to the Second 't is another Case He has pluck'd off thy Mule's Tail and made her unfit for Service And therefore 't is just that be shou'd be oblig'd to keep her at his own Charge till her Rump be heal'd But thou poor Man said he turning to the Third art more to be pity'd than either of the rest Thou say'st and I believe thee that it cost thee three Years Labour to get a Child and after all thy Toil this Man by an unlucky Accident has made thy Wife cast her Bantling three Months before the Time I condemn the Rogue to take her home with him to ●ill her Belly again and to keep her till she be in the same Condition and the Child as old as when he made her miscarry I will not ask your Opinion of this Story till you have heard both Parties for the Cadi thinks himself as honest a Man and as worthy of your Audience as the Vaivode and therefore you must e'en be satisfy'd to hear his Tale next A very Rich Man dy'd and left his Son Heir to his whole Estate except 1000 Piasters which he bequeath'd to the Tyrant of the Country Now you must know that the Turks are very religious Observers of the Last-Wills of their Relations and this Young Man it seems was very nice in that Point His Ignorance of his Father's Meaning made him extremely uneasie for he concluded that if he shou'd detain another Man's Right against his Father's positive Command 't wou'd certainly bring the Curse of the Prophet upon him After he had spent some time in considering where to bestow the Legacy he resolv'd to carry it to the Bassa whom he address'd thus Sir My Father order'd me by his Last-Will to give 1000 Piasters to the Tyrant of the Country without mentioning the Name of any particular Person I was extremely troubl'd at the Obscurity of these Words and not being able to unriddle the Mystery I thought my self oblig'd to bring the Money to you not as to a Tyrant but as to the most powerful Person in the Country The Bassa who by chance was an honest Man reply'd very calmly My Son I neither am nor will be a Tyrant carry the Money to the Cadi for he has more Right to it than I. The Young Man perceiving that 't wou'd be in vain to urge him to accept it went according to his Advice and made the same Complement to the Cadi whom he found to be as generous as the Bassa for he told him he cou'd not take it without injuring the Person for whom it was design'd and desir'd him to carry it to the Receiver of the Customs But that Officer was as jealous of his Honour as either of the rest and sent the young Heir to the Vaivode who hearing that he had been with the other three and what Answers he had receiv'd from 'em told him that as his Conscience oblig'd him to ease a Neighbour of a Burthen that seem'd to be so troublesome to him so it wou'd not permit him to receive it absolutely gratis Let us added he make a feign'd Bargain you shall buy all the Snow in my Court for 1000 Piasters and then I can take the Money with a safe Conscience The Young Man who had been bandy'd about so often and was glad to be rid of the Money on any Terms consented immediately to the Proposal As soon as the Bargain was concluded and the Deed of Conveyance written the Vaivode's Secretary demanded his Fees for in this Country the Purchaser must always pay for the Contract The Young Man was both vex'd and surpriz'd at the Impudence of these Blood-suckers and upbraided 'em with their Injustice and Barbarity adding That he did not expect to be troubl'd with their litigious Tricks after he had freely presented 'em with so considerable a Summ But neither his Anger nor Arguments cou'd prevail for he was forc'd at last to give the Secretary Ten Piasters more after which he went home with a Resolution to return no more to a place where he had been so ill treated But three Days after the Vaivode sent to acquaint him that 't was time for him to remove his Commodity The Young Man imagining that they intended only to put a Jest upon him for his foolish Bargain bid the Messenger tell his Master that he might keep both the Goods and the Money But he was quickly convinc'd that he had bestow'd the Legacy on the Man who had the best right to it For the Vaivode forc'd him to remove all the Snow that was in his Court. I know not whether you can read these Stories without Sleeping But I durst almost lay a Wager that if I shou'd add a Third you wou'd throw away my Letter without staying to hear that I am SIR Your c. Smyrna 1691. LETTER XX. SIR IN pursuance of the Method I propos'd in my last I shall in this Letter give you a brief Account of the Turkish Religion which in the Opinion of those who profess it is a New Law Instituted by GOD in the room of the Christian Religion GOD they say has sent Four Prophets to reveal his Will to Mankind and instruct us in the way to Salvation The first was Enoch who Preach'd and Propheci'd but did not commit his Doctrine to Writing For in those Days GOD communicated Himself to Mankind in so sensible a manner that there was no need of a Written-Law After this Prophet had executed his Commission he was taken up into Heaven both Soul and Body In the mean time GOD seeing that Men perverted their Ways and made the want of a Written-Law a Cloak and Pretext for their Transgressions sent Moses who brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt and gave 'em the Law which he had receiv'd from GOD.
