Curroon proclaimed great 99
or when T amerlanes Race made it the Principal Seat of their Empire : Upon the like
occafionthe word Welch was here impofed bythe5^A7W. After which {A. D, 1628.
J.H. 1008.) he orders the affairs of his Monarchy, placing and difplacing at hisplea-
-fnre. His Fathers Seraglio was by his appointment ihut up i Q^Normahal and her three
Daughters confined ; Ajfa^h-chan neverthelefs made fecond in the Empire •, next him
0ahobet~chan was advanced, Ahdul-chan releafed, and Channa-x.ied-chan re-eftabliftied in
the Viceroyfliip of Bengala. Ambafladors from Perfia, Arabia, Tar tar ia, and Decern
repair with Prefents to the Court, and congratulate his accefs to the Crown. Divers
Radgees, as Radgee Keffing from Nagor, Chan-A^em from Aumeer, the puiffant Radgees
Mdnfigh, T zettefingh, and Gheffingh from Fettipore with fifty thoufand Horfe move in fo-
lemn itate to Agra whither (after fix weeks) repaired alfo Affaph-chan, Zadoch-
chan, Eradet-ckan, Ruftan-chan , Saffin-chan, Mirgomley and other Principal Umbraes,
whom he afFedionately received : remitting and putting in perpetual oblivion all offen
ces whatfoever committed during his rebellion. After which he proclaims a Jubile, which
was celebrated with all manner offports and pleafures imaginable.
Curroon in this manner attained the higheft Dignity of the Eaftern World, guarded
by a power (in his opinion) irrefiftable. Howbeit, thefe fins have apparently (even
inthefeour times) drawn down the heavy Judgment of God Almighty y both, in taking
his beloved Wife away, fince when he made his Daughter (by that dead Lady) his
Wife, iricefbof fo high a nature, as that year his Empire was fo wounded with Gods
Arr6ws of Plague, Peftilence and Famine as this thoufand years before was never fo ter
rible. The Sword alio feems to threaten him, the having fnatched from him
Kermaen and Candahar *, the Tartar-, KabulShe up h Almuck endangers Tutta and Loure d.H.ioiq
Bander ; Radgee Joogh with his Coolyes trouble Brampore, and two counterfeit Bullochyes
have lately fown the feeds of an Univerfal Rebellion. The event is in the hand of
God, who even in an Infidel hates the Sins of Blood, inceft, and dilfimulation. We
will clofe therefore with a caveat to Cwrroon from a Heathen, of more reafon and tem
perance.
What ? that great Jupiter the World that (hakes.
When ^Etna's thunder-bolts in hands he takes ?
Thinklfi thou from him who all the world doth fee
in atiing thefe deep crimes conceaVd to be ?
•Quid ? ille qui Mundum quatit
Vibrans corufca fulmen -ffitneum raanu
Stator Deorum ? credis hoc pofle effici
Inter videntes omnia, ut lateas ?
To conclude, at our being in this Country Curroon came within two days journey of
Surrat *, and in ceremony the Englifh Ships thundred out his approach and welcome by two
hundred great fhot, which he thankfully accepted of. And being that we are now leav
ing the Moguls Kingdome, accept in good part that little gleaning I made of the Lan
guage there fpoken, which (by commerce and fo near neighbourhood) I find hath mixt
with it much of the Per fan.
