which he borrowed or rather bought from the Portugals. The old King defirous of eafe,
and as an indulgent Father glad even of his feeming fubmiffion, accepts his prefent and
invites him home, alluring his pardon. Accordingly, Ajfayh-oam by the Moguls di-
redions gives him notice: and adds his fecret advice to return to Cou^t whiles his Fa
ther was in this good humour. In the mean time, Madofer-cawn at Lahore receives the
Government or Provoftihip of Agrayy Cajfem-cawn being difplaced : He attained that
. command upon his marriage with Moviffan-begem Sifter to the Queen 5 and this difgrace
was fo impatiently digefted by that ambitious woman, that fhe ceafed not till (he got him

Six years paft, viz.. 1618. and of the9198. I told youhowj^^r atthere-
queft of Affafh-cawn took his eldefl: Son Gnjhroo from Anna-Rha-Rhadia and Chan Jehan,
delivering him to Curroon ^ who finding him a ftumbling-block to the Imperial Crown,
by .SWor got him made away. At that fame time were committed to that Fra
tricide, Sha Hoffen and Ethymore (Sons to Dhaen Shaw his Brother, who died through
diftempered drinking at Brampore) whom becaufe he law towardly young Princes and
apt to revenge their Fathers death, he was the more free to fend them through that
bloody bath to deftrudion butdurft not perpetrate fuch apparent butchery perceiv
ing all mens eyes and expedations upon them, and the dekth of their Father and Un
cle yet recent and not a little murmured at', v fo that he had no other way to anticipate
their claim unto the Empire, but by having them inftrudted in the Faith of our bleiled
Saviour Chrift, and to be baptized •, by which profelfion he well knew they would be
made incapable of that great earthly Monarchy, albeit heirs of a better for, Firtus
locum hahet inter aflra. After this, he ever led them with him to keep them the ftrid-
lier, till fuch time as being vanquiihed at Elabas by Ruftan-cawn, JEthymore efcapedto
Terwees and thence to Lahore where his Uncle entertains and marries him to B^har Bannoo-
begem his Daughter : At Curroons next flight from Brampore, Huffen alfo efcaped and fled
to Radgee Rufiang, and thence to his Brother, where he lived with more fafety.

16 ence)* receives a peremptory command from Janghcer {Normal I might fay) to deliver.

to Mahohety) and that ne fhould forthwith remove into Orixa fix fmall days travel Wefb
from Satigan to his Son who was the Kings Lieutenant there. The meilage was tart *,
but being lent to one impatient of affronts, and albeit divided in himfelf'twixt the ne-
ceflity of felf-prefervation and offending his Mafter, at length refolves upon this an-
fwer : That he was very ready to manifeft himfelf a dutiful fubjeft, and therein to fpend
life and goods to do him fervice *, but to ftoop to the lure of his malicious adverfary
could not condefcend: He was ready in perfon to give him the reafbn, provided he
might repair to Court, and return to Rantampore in fafety. With this ill-digefted meC
fage the Poll: returns, with news alfo that Abdul-cam (either weary of his vagaries, or
that he faw the wind of Curroons good fortune ftill averfe, or doubting his formeFclafhes
with Radgee Rhiem .a&d T^^Vc^might undo him) for fome or ail ofthefe hedeferts Cur

Jangheer having received Mahobet-cawns Letter, as it is true Nemo amat quern metuit,
he throws offhis wonted love, and not a little wonders at his prefumption •, but Maho-
bet no lefs admires his mifapprehenfion: So that after the earneft perfwafion of his
kindred and friends about him, he affumes frefh courage*, and attended by five thoufand
voluntary Rafhboots Mahobet iflues from his Gaftle, and through Raffanwer journeys to
Lahore, at that time refolving to make his defence in perfon to Jangheer, (who was then
removing to Kabul) or was refolved to die in doing it. The Queen and Ajfaph-cawn hav
ing notice of his intent, but fearing his force, and that (if he were admitted any private
dilcourfe with Jangheer) probably he would reingratiate himfelf, they prevail with
the Mogul to fet his feal to their didate, the fubftance being. That Mahobet fhould
come in perfon attended only with a few of his confidents, to anfwer what fhould be
objeded againfl: him. But Mahobet (contrary to his former refolution) being not untx-
perienced in Normals deceits, rather than adventure his perfon chofe byhis Son-in-Law to

arrived at the Court, at his entrance into theLefcar found it true, that Non eft irafuper

no fooner difmounted from his Elephant, but by the Queens order was difrobed of his
