be wel and rytchelye apparelyd and among other thynges to haue theyr sweordes and weapons garnished with golde and syluer They are of nature heauy grosse slouggish recheles and vyle people and commenly glottons For they wyll syt three dayes more at the table w tout rysynge excepte it be to make water And yf slepe come vpon theÌ„ they couch theÌ„ selues in y t same places Howebeit they make no very good chere except they haue wyne though it be forbyddeÌ„ theÌ„ wherof they haue ynough For the Iewes and the chrystyans sell it theÌ„ As much as I haue seen and knowen they be lyke the Almaynes in bewty of personage pronouncynge of theyr language and for y e pryde that they haue in theyr warres sauinge y t they haue no lernynge ne bookes but onely of theyre lawe Neuertheles the greate Turcke hath some bookes of Arystotles phylosophye translated into the Aribique tongue whych he redeth some tymes and so dyd hys predecessours They beare in warre greate roules of paper written and in the wrytynge there are figuers of sweordes holbards bowes arrowes daggers and they haue a phansye that those thinges shall kepe them frome beinge wounded All maner of ryotte is permytted vnto theym where vnto they are greatelye inclyned And they goo not to warre but by force and beatynges chyeflye yf they perceaue daunger to be in it And they are the most coueteouse men of all other nacyons Theyr houses are smal lowe wel triÌ„med with housholde stuffe hauinge the floreths couered wyth carpettes as I haue sayd before Wherefore they goe not in wyth theyr shoes but leaue theym at

greate Turcke because whaÌ„ they dye the sayd great Turcke taketh the thyrde parte of all theyr goodes and often tymes altogether as wheÌ„ they are made greate officers namelye Baches or Beglerbees and to theyr chyldren he geueth wages of the pencyon Tymar The Turckes haue other customes and maners of lyuynge whych nowe shall not be nedefull to reherse for as muche as daylye ye shal here more wherefore after that I haue spoken a fewe wordes of the sayde greate Turcke I wyl make an ende of my lettre THE greate Turcke whyche nowe raygneth is called Sultam Soleyman that is tooe saye kynge Soleiman For Sultam or Soldan in Moresque sygnyfyethe a Kynge or Prynce So the Turkes call him whan they speake of hym famyly arly but when they speake of him reuerentlye they cal him Vnghyar whyche is to saye the kynges maiestye Some tyme they call hym Sultam Soleyman Cham whyche they pronounce Tchaam whyche sygnyfyeth Lorde But it is the Tartarysche laÌ„guage and not the Turckysche I haue hearde hym named amonge the Turckes Badicaa The sayde kyng Soliman at thys presente is aboute the age of .l. yeares and he hath along body litle bones he is leane and euel proporcioned his vysage is browne and wrythen hys heade is shauen sauynge a tufte in the toppe as all the Turckes haue y t their TolopaÌ„ may syt the better that is an ornament of lynnen whyche they were on theyr heades he hath an hygh forhed and a large great yies and blacke he is hauke nosed he hath a long neck smal and stoopynge hys bearde is clypped and not shauen he is dumpyshe and speakethe and laugheth seldome but he is verye cholerycke and is an euel fauored man and euel proporcyoned and taketh no pleasure in any exercyse Further he is reputed amonge theim verteous and a good keper of his lawe moderate louinge peace reste more then anye of hys predecessoures haue done whyche the Turckes impute to hym for cowardnesse faute of courage He is estemed of theim gentle and courteouse neuerthelesse he pardoneth not offenders lightely His pastime is to reade bookes of philosophye and of his owne law In whiche he is so instructed that his Moftie or byshoppe canne teach hym nothyng at all He is not couÌ„ted verye lyberal but rather more sparynge then his predecessours He suffereth hym selfe to be ruled of them whome he loueth and in whome he trusteth thoughe he be somtymes obstinate and opinatyue thryse a weke he hath redde before him the historyes of his predecessours In which he suffereth no lye to be wryten nor flateries but only the bare actes And he is satisfyed wyth no treatyses or enterpryses but wyth those whyche were done amonge theyre neyghboures and other nacions aboute them faythfully and truely declared concernynge the conduycte of theyr affayres he hath a sonne called Mustapha about .xxviii. or .xxx. yeres olde and he is gouerner of Iconie and of all the sea costes of Magnesia ouer agaynste y t Isles of Chio and Methelin towardes the Rhodes where he kepeth his contynuall resydence To coÌ„clude bicause many haue meruayle that the greate Turcke wynneth dayly leseth nothynge I wyll shewe you what order he setteth in the countrees whiche he conquerethe and in what state he leaueth theym The order of the countreys WHen y e great Turcke hath wonne a countree fyrste he beateth downe all y e fortresses whiche seme not vnto him of importaunce and profyte and the walles of

awaie and sendeth them to dwell in some other place of his other countrees beynge already stablished in obedience But he suffereth euerie man to lyue accordyng to his owne lawe belefe constrayning no man to denie his faythe whiche thynge he doeth bycause he wyll not destroye theym nether brynge them to desperacyon besydes y t by theyr lawe suche constrayntes ben defended After this he sendeth his Sangiacs and Spachis and chargeth the people with so greate taxes and imposycions that it is impossyble for theym at anye tyme to rebell Also he leaueth theim no harnesse nor weapons of warre nor
