He put the like Trick upon the _Bashaw_ of _Erzerumen_; for, knowing that the Passage through the Province would be very hazardous, he sent some before him with a counterfeit Message, to salute him, and tell him, that his Misfortunes had reduced him to the most miserable Condition, and therefore he desired him that he might rest a day or two in his Province, at least to get his Horses fed, and new shod. The _Bashaw_ granted his Request, whereas, it was not a commiserating his Case, or that he favoured his Side, but, perhaps, that he might amuse him a little till he had got all his Troops together to ensnare him; for they were scattered, as not dreaming he would be so soon upon him. However, _Bajazet_ march’d continually on, allowing his Men no rest by day, and very little at Night. The _Bashaw_ of _Erzerumen_ seeing himself deceived, made haste to join himself with the other _Bashaws_ in his Flight. For, you must know, as soon as _Solyman_ heard his Son was gone from _Amasia_, he commanded a great many _Sanziacks_ and _Bashaw_ to follow, and upon pain of Death, to bring him either alive or dead: But all in vain, for _Bajazet_ fled faster than they could pursue. The _Bashaws_ aforementioned, paid dear enough for letting him escape; for _Solyman_ put him out of his Place, but _Selimus_ put him to Death, together with his two Boys, though not before they had been most detestably used. _Selimus_ and _Mehemet Bassa_, and the _Beglerbeg_ of _Greece_, pursued _Bajazet_ at a greater distance. _Solyman_ was much troubled when he heard of his Escape, as being well assured, he would make towards _Persia_; and thereupon he was about to gather all his Forces, both Horse and Foot, together, and so march away to declare War against _Persia_: But his wiser Counsellors stopped his March, alledging the hazard he would run amongst an ungrateful Soldiery: And besides, say they, what if _Bajazet_ out of his Temerity and Rashness should send a Company about _Pontus_ and the _Palus Mæotis_, and so march back to _Constantinople_, in the Emperor’s Absence, where he might, by promising Liberty to Captives, and to the _Agiamoglans_, get upon the Throne, now vacant? These Advices restrained _Solyman_ from his Intention.
