A New and Particular Relation of the
Name Was Din, who having gather'd together a great
Number of Maleeontents, and Vagabonds, became fo
powerful and formidable through his own Valour, that
after feveral bloody Battels gain'd, it was no difficult thing
for him to leize upon the Throne. But he did not reign
long in peace, for the moft part of the People rebell'd
againft him j and in thefirftBattel that he fought, he loft
his Life. However his own Party won the day ; and
having left two Sons, his eldeft reigned three years ; after
whofe death, the younger Brother rul'd in his Head, but
dy’d foon after, neither of the Brothers leaving any iffue
behind them. After that the Kingdom was milerably
diftrafted by feveral Civil Wars , till the weaker Party
calling in the Chinefs to their Affiftance, became the moft
puiffant; -Then it was that a certain Mandarin, of the
Family of Lelequel, was advanc'd to the Throne, who

Power into his hands, the Rebel ufurp'd the Throne; but
nine years after, he was alio flain in Battel by his own
Subjects, who had call'd the Chinefes to their Affiftance.
They being thus Matters of the Kingdom, held it for twenty
years, and let Covemours over every Province. But at

of the heavy Tributes which they laid upon the Tuncjuinefa
fo that a valiant Captain of the Houfe of Lc,having aftembled
a numerous Power together, gave the Chinefes three Battels,
and in every one overcame them. The Chinefes thus expelH
out of Tunquin , the Coriquerour feiz'd the Grown, and in
his Family the Regal Government continu'd for above four-
fcore years. After which time, a great Lord, of the
Family <>f Mdrrf which had formerly enjoy'd the Scepter ,
