{MN} When _Muly Hamet_ Reigned in _Barbary,_ he had three Sons, _Muly Sheck, Muly Sidan,_ and _Muly Bufferres,_ he a most good and noble King, that governed well with Peace and Plenty, till his Empress, more cruel than any Beast in Africa, poisoned him, her own Daughter, _Muly Sheck,_ his eldest Son, born of a Portugal Lady, and his Daughter, to bring _Muly Sidan,_ to the Crown now reigning, which was the cause of all those brawls, and Wars that followed betwixt those Brothers, their Children, and a Saint that started up, but he played the Devil. * * * * * {MN} _A bloody Empress._ {MN-1} King _Muly Hamet_ was not black, as many suppose, but _Molara,_ or tawny, as are the most of his Subjects; every way noble, kind and friendly, very rich and pompous in State and Majesty, though he sitteth not upon a Throne nor Chair of state, but cross Leg'd upon a rich Carpet, as doth the _Turk,_ whose Religion of _Mahomet,_ with an incredible miserable Curiosity they observe. His ordinary Guard is at least 5000, but in Progress, he goeth not with less than 20000 Horse-men, himself as rich in all his Equipage, as any Prince in Christendom, and yet a Contributor to the _Turk._ {MN-2} In all his Kingdom were so few good Artificers, that he entertained from _England,_ Gold-smiths, Plummers, Carvers, and Polishers of Stone, and Watch-makers, so much he delighted in the Reformation of Workmanship, he allowed each of them ten Shillings a day standing Fee, Linen, Woollen, Silks, and what they would for Diet and Apparel, and Custom-free to transport, or import what they would; for there were scarce any of those qualities in his Kingdom, but those, of which there are divers of them, living at this present in _London._ Amongst the rest, one Mr. _Henry Archer,_ a Watch-maker, walking in _Morocco,_ from the _Alfantica_ to the _Juderea,_ the way being very foul, met a great Priest, or a _Sante_ (as they call all great Clergy-men) who would have thrust him into the dirt for the way; but Archer not knowing what he was, gave him a box on the Ear, presently he was apprehended, and condemned to have his Tongue cut out, and his Hand cut off: But no sooner it was known at the King's Court, but 300 of his Guard came, and broke open the Prison, and delivered him although the Fact was next degree to Treason. * * * * * {MN-1} _King_ Muly Hamet _or the Great_ Zeriff _of_ Barbary. {MN-2} _His great love to English Men._
