         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           Now
           this
           Monster
           Hydra
           was
           mightily
           afraid

           by
           his
           Necromancy
           got
           the
           trick
           of
           spitting
           Fire
           on
           the

           better

           ,
           tho'
           this
           Hydra

           yet
           those
           Christian
           Princes
           were
           glad
           of
           its
           Assistance
           against
           the
           Giant
           Gallieno

           as
           dreading

           great
           Prowess
           ,
           and
           standing
           in
           great
           fear

           Besides
           the
           Monster
           Hydra

           Powerfully
           abetted
           by
           one
           of

           particularly
           devoted

           and
           often

           From
           thence
           he
           went
           to
           the
           noble
           Duke
           of

           whom
           he

           &c.
           
           Who
           were
           all
           assembled
           together
           to
           consult
           how
           they
           might
           quell
           the
           mighty
           Giant
           Gallieno
           .
           But
           they
           were
           so
           high
           in
           their
           Cups
           ,
           and
           so
           distemper'd
           with
           Drinking
           ,
           that
           he
           did
           not
           think
           it
           seasonable
           to
           deliver
           such
           an
           honourable
           Embassy
           to
           Men
           whose
           reason
           was
           totally
           drown'd
           in
           Wine
           .
           Wherefore
           he
           staid
           two
           or
           three
           days
           longer
           ,
           hoping
           by
           that
           time
           he
           might
           take
           them
           in
           some
           
             Lucid
             Interval
          
           ,
           but
           he
           still
           found
           them
           in
           the
           same
           pickle

           So

           That
           if
           he
           would
           needs
           stay
           till
           they
           are
           all
           perfectly
           Sober
           ,
           it
           was
           his
           best
           course
           to
           hire

           in
           an
           Inn.
           Yet
           he
           obtain'd
           of
           his
           Friend
           to
           acquaint
           them

           who
           scarce
           half
           understood
           it
           ,
           taking
           it
           to

           At

           He

           and
           that

           in
           being
           ungrateful

             Father
          
           represt
           my
           fury
           ,
           this
           had
           been
           thy
           last
           day
           ,
           and
           all
           thy
           ambitious

           But
           for
           following
           my
           Inspirations
           I
           have

           and
           will
           reward
           thee

           Perhaps
           thou
           think'st
           that
           my
           Sisters
           have
           left
           nothing

           Thy
           Father

           how
           Nasonius
           himself
           went

           the

           the
           Noble
           Giant
           Tarcon

           arm'd

           Wherefore
           by
           the

           King

           and
           try
           his
           Fortune
           there
           ,
           though
           that
           Country
           was
           far
           too
           weak
           to
           resist
           the
           Forces
           of
           Vtopia

           not

           a
           War

           found
           in
           Vtopia

           He
           kept
           his
           Royal
           Court
           at
           Lyrapolis
           ,
           and
           was
           now
           about
           to
           assault
           Walkerburga

           whither

           Rebels
           ,
           who
           were
           almost
           all
           Panyms

           had
           betaken
           themselves
           .
           Now
           ,
           this
           place
           he
           could
           easily
           have
           taken
           ,
           but
           the
           Besieged
           being
           obstinate
           ,
           he
           was
           loath
           to
           assault
           it
           ,
           well
           knowing
           that
           the
           Lyranians

           who
           used
           to
           spare
           none
           in
           their
           just
           Anger
           ,
           were
           so
           enraged
           against
           them
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           certainly
           have
           put
           them
           all
           to
           the
           Sword

           had
           too
           much
           Compassion
           to
           permit

           ,
           and
           other
           hardships

           reclaim
           them

           to
           their
           Duty
           ;
           and
           they
           were
           many
           of
           them
           starv'd
           ,
           and
           the
           rest
           about
           to
           yield
           ,
           when
           they
           were
           reliev'd
           by
           Sea
           with
           all
           Necessaries

           which
           Eugenius
           being
           destitute
           of
           Ships

           Heads
           on
           a
           sudden

           which
           made
           them
           desirious

           After
           this
           Disaster
           had
           happened
           to
           the
           Knight

           over
           into

           march'd
           towards
           Eugenius

           But
           whilst
           he
           lay
           near
           a
           River
           called
           Vndana

           Sollicitous

           Fancies

           he
           dream'd
           a
           Dream

           yet
           may
           be
           probably
           conjectured
           to
           have
           wrought
           a

           given
           him

           he
           unadvisedly
           came
           too
           near
           the
           Enemy
           ,

           in
           suddenly
           and

           took
           away
           part

           Which
           great

           Fear

           But
           before
           Nasonius
           took
           his
           leave

           thus
           bespoke

           Thou

           that
           thou

           None

           that
           the
           accursed
           Giant

           Policy

           which
           made

           conclude
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           more
           adviseable

           So

           which
           they
           foolishly
           boasted
           ,
           and
           thought
           Impregnable
           ,
           was
           taken
           by
           the
           Luislandians
           :
           However
           ,
           Gallieno
           was
           sure
           to
           pay
           for

           in
           presuming
           to
           take
           the
           Town
           without
           
           Nasonius's
           leave
           ;
           and
           was
           never
           securely
           Victorious
           ,
           if
           words
           would
           do
           it
           :
           For
           Nasonius
           gave
           out
           that
           he
           was
           resolutely
           determined
           to
           revenge
           himself
           by
           Battle
           .
           But
           the
           Giant
           Grandosio
           had
           by
           his
           Necromancy
           so
           order'd
           things
           ,
           that
           Nasonius
           could
           not
           for
           his

           And
           thus
           continued
           both
           Armies

           till
           the
           Nasonians
           forced
           thereto
           by
           
           Grandorsio's
           Stratagems
           must
           needs
           decamp
           and
           be
           gone
           :
           Which
           ,
           Nasonius
           with
           all
           the
           Inconveniences
           likely
           to
           ensue
           ,
           thought
           it
           his
           best
           Policy
           to
           retire
           to
           Holoo
           ,
           pretending
           he
           had
           no
           more
           to
           do
           since
           Grandorsio
           would
           not
           Fight
           ,
           though
           indeed
           it
           was
           to
           save
           his
           own
           Credit
           ,
           which
           was
           like
           to
           suffer
           some
           disparagement
           ,
           had
           he
           staid
           and
           b●en
           Present
           .
           The
           Nasonian
           Army
           therefore
           was
           left
           under
           the
           Command
           of
           the
           Panym
           Knight
           Valdectius
           to
           bring
           it
           off
           as
           well
           as
           he
           could
           .
           But
           they
           no
           sooner
           began
           their
           Retreat
           ,
           but
           the
           Giant
           Gran●orsio
           fell
           on
           their
           Rear
           ,
           and
           gave
           'em
           such
           a
           
             Kick
             o
             th
             Breech
          
           for
           a
           Farewel
           ,
           as
           killed
           of
           them
           near
           three
           Thousand
           Men.
           
        
         
           Thus
           ended
           the
           Campaign
           ,
           and
           this
           was
           the
           Issue
           of
           all
           the
           vast
           designs
           ,
           and
           glorious
           Braggs
           of
           entring
           Luyslandia
           ,
           taking
           Tutelia
           ,
           and
           fetching
           thence
           the
           Lady
           Victoria
           ,
           which
           was
           sufficiently
           redicul'd
           by
           the
           Luyslandians
           ,
           who
           were
           now
           asham●d
           to
           have
           to
           do
           with
           such
           weak
           ,
           improvident
           ,
           and
           cow-hearted
           Enemies
           .
           But
           the
           Mirth
           was
           heightned
           ,
           even
           to
           loud
           Laughter
           ,
           that
           the
           
             Nasonian
             Star-Gazers
          
           had
           undertaken
           to
           demonstrate
           by
           the
           unerring
           Arts
           of
           Astrology
           ,
           that
           this
           Campaign
           ws
           to
           be
           the
           very
           last
           Period
           of
           all
           the
           Glory
           of
           Gallieno
           ,
           and
           the
           fatal
           time
           that
           Luyslandia
           was
           to
           be
           subdued
           and
           destroyed
           .
           But
           since
           no
           more
           was
           to
           be
           done
           ,
           who
           could
           help
           it
           ?
           So
           ,
           the
           Associates
           ,
           after
           they
           had
           had
           another
           grave
           Consultation
           what
           plausible
           Excuses
           it
           were
           best
           
           to
           give
           out
           to
           palliate
           their
           unwise
           Conduct
           ,
           and
           ill
           Success
           ,
           separated
           themselves
           ,
           and
           Nasonius
           return'd
           into
           Vtopia
           .
           Where
           ,
           no
           sooner
           arriv'd
           ,
           but
           he
           found
           the
           Complaints
           made
           by
           the
           Hydra

           and
           the
           Vtopian
           Sea-Officers
           against
           Tornano
           were
           very
           high
           ,
           and
           heavy
           .
           They
           alledged
           that
           this
           backwardness
           had
           cost
           the
           English
           many
           rude
           Blows
           ,
           but
           had

           Hydra
           Eighteen
           or
           Nineteen
           Ships
           ,
           for
           which
           they
           demanded
           Vengeance
           and
           Justice
           against
           him
           .
           Tornano
           put
           in
           his
           Plea
           ,
           which
           was

           degrees
           somewhat
           cooling

           Tryal

           To

           keep
           up
           his

           This

           came
           into
           a
           pitch'd
           Battle
           .
           The

           Soldiers
           that
           they
           thrice

           a

           that
           noble
           Giant
           ,
           and
           bereaved
           him
           of

           Thou

           that
           formerly
           I

           to
           be
           given
           thee
           when

           thy self
           well

           Let

           the
           unintelligible

           in
           the
           least
           suspect
           that
           I

           himself
           more
           famous

           but
           that
           when

           Predictions
           succeeded
           ,
           all
           his

           To
           work

           he
           went
           ,
           and
           foretold
           the

           took
           the
           Field
           very
           early

           now
           tickled

           the
           Conceit
           how

           King

           King

           and

           or
           dreamt
           of
           it
           .
           It
           was
           very
           obvious
           to
           imagine
           that
           King
           Gallieno
           would
           set

           Place

           and
           it
           had
           been
           easy
           for
           Nasonius
           ,
           he
           being
           first
           in
           the
           Field
           ,
           to
           have
           possessed
           himself
           of
           the

           gave
           the
           Luyslandians
           passage
           thither
           :
           But
           ,
           as
           if
           the
           senceless
           Spirit
           Fatuitosa
           had
           intended
           to
           make
           a
           property
           of
           him
           ,
           and
           his
           Associates
           too
           ,
           it
           never
           once
           entred
           into
           their
           heads
           in
           all
           their
           Consultations
           ,
           to
           provide
           against
           so
           great
           a
           Mischief
           .
           However
           ,
           when
           the
           Siege
           was
           already
           laid
           ,
           then
           ,
           (
           as
           if
           he
           awak'd
           out
           of
           a
           Dream
           ,
           with
           some
           sudden
           noise
           )
           he
           began
           to
           bustle
           up
           ,
           and
           bestir
           himself
           ,
           and
           march'd
           directly
           thither
           with
           his
           whole
           Army
           in
           a
           most
           formidable
           manner
           ,
           threatning
           to
           fight
           the
           Giant
           Gallieno
           ,
           and
           raise
           the
           Siege
           immediately
           :
           But
           the
           politick
           Giant
           Grandorsio
           had
           by
           his
           Skill
           in
           Magick
           ,
           so
           postured
           his
           Army
           to
           cover
           King
           Gallieno
           ,
           who
           ,
           with
           another
           Army
           push'd
           on
           the
           Siege
           :
           That
           Nasonius
           and
           his
           great
           Officers
           could
           not
           for
           their
           Lives
           tell
           how
           to
           come
           at
           them
           with
           any
           Safety
           ,
           or
           how
           to
           set
           upon
           him
           without
           hazarding
           their
           whole
           Army
           .
           So
           they
           very
           soberly
           
             stood
             still
          
           ,
           and
           look'd
           on
           ,
           whilst
           King
           Gallieno
           ,
           and
           his
           Souldiers
           did
           ,
           with
           incredible
           Valour
           and
           Dexterity
           make
           themselves
           Masters
           of
           Sambrina
           .
           Some
           were
           of
           opinion
           ,
           that
           this
           was
           an
           high
           point
           of
           Policy
           thus
           to
           
             stand
             still
          
           ,
           and
           view
           ,
           that
           by
           making
           their
           Observations
           ,
           how
           wisely
           King
           Gallieno
           went
           to
           work
           ,
           they
           might
           learn
           to
           take
           his
           Towns
           afterwards
           .
           Others
           said
           ,
           they
           came
           to
           bear
           Witness
           that
           the
           Town
           was
           surely
           taken
           ,
           because
           they
           were
           very
           nigh
           ,
           and
           saw
           it
           with
           their
           own
           Eyes
           .
           But
           the
           Nasonians
           imputed
           it
           to
           the
           
             Luyslandian
             Witches
          
           ,
           or
           to
           King
           
           Gallieno's
           Skill
           in
           Conjuration
           ,
           by
           which
           he
           caused
           a
           Storm
           upon
           the
           River
           Mahaignia
           which
           sunk
           some
           of
           their
           
           Bridges
           and
           Boats
           ,
           by
           which
           they
           should
           pass
           ,
           and
           by
           some
           Charm
           had
           so
           stupified
           their
           bethinking
           Faculties
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           forgot
           to
           provide
           or
           look
           afterward
           to
           make
           more
           .
           But
           the
           wisest
           saw
           ,
           and
           said
           plainly
           ,
           that
           all
           those
           were
           but
           Pretences
           ,
           and
           that
           had
           they
           pass'd
           the
           River
           ,
           and
           attack'd
           the
           Giant
           Grandorsio
           ,
           in
           all
           liklyhood
           it
           had
           cost
           Nasonius
           the
           greatest
           part
           of
           his
           Army
           .
           So
           King
           Gallieno
           being
           now
           possessed
           of
           that
           strongest
           City
           and
           Castle
           ,
           feasted
           his
           Nobility
           ,
           and
           the
           Lady
           Victoria
           ,
           and
           the
           next
           day
           he
           sent
           an
           Herauld
           to
           Nasonius
           ,
           offering
           him
           Battle
           within
           two
           days
           ,
           if
           he
           pleased
           to
           accept
           it
           .
           Nasonius
           return'd
           him
           this
           Politick
           Answer
           ,
           
             That
             he
             would
             fight
             when
             himself
             saw
             fit
             .
          
           Well
           then
           ,
           said
           Gallieno
           smiling
           ,
           I
           see
           Nasonius
           has
           nothing
           to
           say
           to
           me
           ,
           so
           I
           will
           leave
           him
           to
           the
           Mercy
           of
           Grandorsio
           ;
           and
           immediately
           returned
           to
           Tutelia
           ,
           with
           his
           Lady
           Victoria
           ,
           now
           more
           than
           ever
           endear'd
           to
           him
           by
           seeing
           his
           Warlike
           Courage
           and
           Conduct
           .
           The
           Congratulations
           of
           his
           Subjects
           ,
           and
           triumphs
           they

           him
           were
           very
           Noble
           and
           Magnificent
           :
           But
           the
           noble
           King
           Gallieno
           would
           needs
           divest
           himself
           of
           that
           Merit
           ,

           all
           the
           while
           he
           took
           it
           :
           And
           to
           that
           end
           he

           The
           matter

           Caelestial

           fondly
           set
           up
           to
           be
           their
           King
           ,
           which
           makes
           'em
           incapable
           of
           so
           great
           a
           Mercy

           good

           Now
           ,
           that
           you
           may
           see
           how
           just
           this
           Decree
           of

           is
           of
           denying

           yet
           as
           a
           deliverance
           from
           their
           Oppression
           ,
           I
           will
           make
           known
           to
           you
           how
           obstinately
           and
           willfully
           blind
           ,
           both
           Nasonius
           ,
           and
           they
           are
           ,
           in
           their
           wicked
           and
           malicious
           Errours
           ;
           and
           what
           I
           have
           done
           to
           signifie
           my
           displeasure
           at
           their
           disloyal
           ,
           and
           ungrateful
           Proceedings
           ;
           enough
           to
           make
           any
           repent
           of
           their
           Sins
           ,
           but
           such
           as
           are
           hardened
           in
           them
           :
           I
           will
           not
           speak
           of
           the
           
             prodigious
             Mortallity
          
           of
           their
           Souldiers
           and
           Land
           ,
           nor
           of
           their
           Seamen
           at
           Sea
           ,
           nor
           divers
           other
           such
           ;
           but
           I
           will
           recount
           some
           of
           those
           disasters
           which
           pointed
           at
           their
           particular
           Persons
           .
           I
           sent
           an
           horrible
           Tempest
           at
           
           Nasonius's
           first
           setting
           forth
           ;
           by
           that
           first
           inauspicious
           Omen
           to
           deter
           him
           ,
           and
           them
           ,
           from
           proceeding
           on
           their
           
             Cursed
             Design
          
           ,
           and
           could
           in
           Justice
           have
           d●owned
           them
           all
           ,
           at
           that
           time
           ,
           but
           that
           I
           meant
           he
           should
           be
           a
           Scourge
           to
           'em
           ,
           till
           they
           saw
           their
           Fault
           ,
           and
           became
           Penitent
           ;
           but
           it
           wrought
           no
           effect
           with
           either
           .
           Well!
           by
           my
           Permission
           they
           possessed
           themselves
           of
           their
           
           Father's
           Throne
           and
           being
           settled
           ,
           fell
           a
           building
           a
           Hamptonia
           ;
           but
           down
           it
           came
           .
           They
           did
           the
           same
           at
           Nothinghamia
           ,
           but
           that
           
             fell
             down
          
           too
           ;
           this
           could
           not
           be
           imputed
           to
           Treachery
           ,
           Negligence
           ,
           or
           a
           common
           Casuallty
           ;
           for
           ,
           none
           can
           but
           know
           that
           Kings
           (
           their
           Lives
           being
           endanger'd
           by
           the
           Instability
           of
           their
           Dwelling-Houses
           ,
           )
           would
           make
           choice
           of
           the
           best
           Materials
           ,
           and
           Workmen
           ;
           and
           that
           those
           Workmen
           would
           use
           their
           utmost
           Care
           that
           their
           Work
           should
           be
           most
           firm
           ,
           when
           they
           are
           employed
           ,
           by
           such
           great
           Personages
           :
           Yet
           in
           despight
           of
           their
           best
           choice
           of
           Artificers
           ,
           and
           these
           Artificers
           best
           Circumspection
           ,
           both
           those
           works
           suffered
           a
           shameful
           Miscarriage
           .
           Now
           these
           Instances
           pointed
           personally
           at
           Nasonius
           ,
           and

           a

           Was
           it
           possible
           then
           to
           impute
           these
           ill-boding
           Accidents
           to
           any

           plainly

           very
           Politick

           when
           he

           to
           the
           place
           he
           had
           left
           ,
           and
           resolved

           by

           Town
           of

           it
           was
           their

           So
           ,
           understanding
           that
           Grandorsio

           they
           with
           good
           resolution

           actually
           taken

           But

           so
           it
           unluckily

           a
           firm
           Resolution

           For

           not
           doubting
           but
           the
           Wisdom
           and
           Policy
           of
           their
           Generalissimo
           was
           such
           ,
           that
           all
           this

           made
           for

           Cock-sure
           that
           Baldwinopolis
           was

           But
           so
           short-sighted
           were
           their
           Politicks
           ,
           that
           they

           well
           know
           ,
           or
           soberly
           consider
           the
           strength
           of
           the
           place
           they
           were
           to
           attack

           nor
           what
           the
           Enemy
           could
           do
           to
           hinder
           their
           approaches

           much
           less

           they

           their

           Wherefore
           ,
           after
           they
           had
           vapoured
           a

           (
           as
           it

           such
           huge
           Importance
           ;
           and
           that
           the

           THE
           Season
           of
           the
           Year
           began
           to
           grow
           so
           severe
           ,
           that
           Souldiers
           could
           not
           much
           longer
           abide
           the

           and
           scarce
           any
           thing
           but
           one
           Disgrace
           upon
           the
           Neck
           of
           another

           befallen
           Nasonius
           ,
           so
           that
           he
           thought
           he
           must
           now
           be
           forced
           to
           break
           up
           that
           Years
           Campaign

           with
           an
           irreparable
           Blast
           upon
           his
           Reputation
           ,
           upon
           which
           he
           was
           so
           cursedly
           fallen
           out
           with
           himself
           ,
           and
           grown
           so
           enragedly
           out
           of
           Humour
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           become
           a
           Plague
           to
           himself
           ,
           and
           a
           Torment

           Yet
           in
           this
           Temper
           he
           at
           length
           bethought
           himself
           ,
           and
           he
           ,
           which
           never
           had
           any
           kindness
           for

           he
           very
           passionately
           expostulated
           his
           Case
           ,
           telling
           her
           ,
           that
           he
           thought
           his
           Designs
           to
           be
           wicked
           enough
           to
           have
           obliged
           her

           Inclination

           Relation
           between
           them
           ,

           he

           his
           Father
           Eugenius

           whose
           Mind
           was
           uneasy

           and
           who
           was
           never
           very
           Courtly

           received
           her
           Message
           with
           a
           kind
           of
           sullen
           Reservedness
           .
           The
           Hag
           took
           it
           somewhat
           hainously
           ,
           that
           he

           so
           little

           an
           angry
           Tone
           said
           ,
           Well!
           For
           this
           once

           serest
           so
           light
           by
           my
           kindness
           ,
           I
           will
           give
           thee
           one
           small
           Shot
           before
           I
           go
           ,
           and
           therewith
           she
           suck'd
           in
           her
           Breath
           ,
           and
           squeezed
           her
           Body
           ,
           whereupon
           her
           Guts
           fell
           a
           rumbling
           ,
           and
           out
           slew
           a
           Fart
           ,
           that
           roar'd
           in
           his
           Ears
           like
           Thunder
           ,
           and
           left
           such
           a
           suffocating
           stench
           behind
           it
           ,
           that
           poor
           Nasorisus
           ,
           whose
           Lungs
           were
           not
           
             very
             good
          
           ,
           could
           not
           forbear
           Coughing
           for
           above
           half
           an
           hour

           But
           Sadomicus
           lying
           near
           ,
           and
           mistaking
           it
           for
           
           Cannon-Shot
           ,
           sprang
           into

           Master's
           Room
           with
           all
           speed

           where
           when
           he
           came
           ,
           the
           Witch

           but
           bearing
           the
           ugly
           noise
           of
           a
           rotten
           Cough
           ,
           and
           smelling
           such
           a
           poysonous
           stink
           ,
           he
           thought
           there
           was
           some
           damn'd
           Design
           ,
           and
           bawled

           if
           he
           would
           have
           torn
           his
           Throat

           not
           prevent
           him
           ,
           because
           he
           could
           not
           speak
           for
           Coughing

           so
           in

           who
           all
           cursed
           the
           Stink

           and
           some

           they
           afforded
           some

           some

           they

           their
           way
           in

             strong

             so
             that
             Grandorsio

           As
           Nasonius
           was
           about
           to
           make
           his
           Compliment
           ,
           he
           heard
           a
           rumbling
           noise
           ,
           and
           therewith
           came
           so
           violent
           a
           Wind
           ,
           as
           made
           the
           Vault
           shake
           ,
           and
           the
           Earth
           tremble
           under
           him
           ,
           and
           while
           he
           stood
           agast
           ,
           expecting
           the
           Issue
           ,
           the
           Witch
           insensibly
           slipt
           away
           and
           left
           him
           alone
           .
        
         
           As
           soon
           as
           Nasonius
           came
           to
           himself
           ,
           he
           made
           haste
           away
           to
           his
           Army
           ,
           and
           marched
           directly
           to
           Vivaria
           ,
           and
           there
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           old
           Haggs
           advice
           ,
           Encamp'd
           ,
           which
           when
           Grandorsio
           heard
           ,
           it
           put
           him
           into
           a
           strange
           fit
           of
           Passion
           ,
           for
           he
           designed
           to
           have
           Encamped
           there
           himself
           .
           But
           ,
           assoon
           as
           he
           could
           get
           his
           Forces
           together
           ,
           away
           he
           led
           them
           to
           Vivaria
           ,
           intending
           by
           any
           means
           to
           set
           upon
           Nasonius
           ;
           but
           though
           his
           Rage
           was
           great
           ,
           and
           his
           Arts
           many
           ,
           yet
           so
           strong
           were
           the
           Enchantments
           ,
           which
           guarded
           the
           place
           ,
           that
           he
           could
           by
           no
           means
           come
           at
           him

           or
           do
           any
           harm
           to
           his
           Souldiers
           ,
           but
           if
           he
           approached
           too
           near
           ,
           received
           harm
           to
           himself

           By
           chance
           ,
           a

           he
           gave
           up
           all
           thoughts
           of
           setting

           making
           a
           feint
           ,
           as
           if
           he

           Besiege
           it
           ;
           at

           the
           danger

           marching
           another
           way

           got
           into

           things
           safe

           being
           aware
           that
           he

           now
           sent

           whilst
           he
           himself

           which
           so
           affrighted
           the
           Heads
           of
           the
           Hydra

           Villiero
           followed

           so
           close
           ,
           that
           he
           became
           Master

           before
           Nasonius

           Forces
           to
           reinforce
           Grandorsio

           the
           tidings
           of
           this
           being
           brought
           to
           Nasonius
           ,
           his
           Countenance
           changd
           ,
           and
           his
           Heart
           so
           fail'd
           him
           ,
           that
           stout
           rubbing
           ,
           and
           the
           help
           of
           the
           Brandy-Bottle

           were
           scarce
           able

           him
           from
           fainting
           away
           ,
           but
           being
           somewhat
           come
           to
           himself
           ,
           he
           gave
           Orders
           to
           march
           immediately
           back
           again
           to
           his
           Enchanted
           Camp
           at
           Vivoria
           .
           But
           when
           he
           heard
           that
           Grandorsio
           had
           posted
           himself
           in
           his
           way
           ,
           so
           that
           he
           could
           not
           return
           thither
           ,
           without
           hazarding
           himself
           ,
           and
           his
           whole
           Army
           ,
           he
           bitterly
           curs●d
           those
           who
           had
           perswaded
           him
           to

           place
           of
           Safety

           and
           himself
           ,
           
           for
           not
           following
           the
           Witches
           Counsel
           ;
           and
           all
           his
           Counsellours
           ,
           who
           had
           advised
           to
           the
           making
           so
           great
           a
           Detachment
           ,
           to
           the
           weakning
           of
           his
           Army
           ;
           though
           some
           say
           ,
           that
           none
           gave
           such
           Counsel
           ,
           but
           that
           it
           was
           purely
           his
           own
           silly
           Contrivance
           ,
           and
           that
           none
           ought
           to
           share
           with
           him
           in
           the
           Glory
           of
           it
           :
           All
           these
           things
           concurring
           with
           his
           further
           Fears
           ,
           put
           him
           into
           such
           a
           vehement
           Passion
           ,
           that
           scarce
           any

           come
           near
           him
           ,
           and
           that
           working
           violently
           downwards
           ,
           it
           so
           strongly
           perfumed
           his
           Tent
           ,
           that
           when
           it
           was
           afterwards
           taken
           by
           Grandorsio
           ,
           the
           peculiar
           Scent
           thereof
           ,
           presently
           discover'd
           to
           whom
           it
           belong'd

           But
           to
           make
           what
           amends
           he
           could
           ,
           for
           this
           fatal
           Error
           ,
           he
           chose
           a
           Place
           the
           most
           like

           could
           find

           and
           caused
           his
           Pioneers
           to
           fall
           to
           work

           and
           called

           with
           a
           select
           Party
           rode
           out

           to
           discover
           which
           way
           Grandorsio
           was
           bent

           quickly
           so
           guard
           the
           Place

           which
           ,
           when
           Nasonius
           perceived

           he
           turned
           his

           set

           and
           rode
           faster
           than

           nor
           did
           he
           stick

           then
           he
           spurred
           them
           on
           to
           it

           his
           Souldiers

           advantage
           of
           Ground

           their

           the

           they
           found
           they
           could
           no
           longer
           maintain
           it
           ,
           and
           yet
           resolved
           so
           to
           quit
           it
           ,
           that
           it
           should
           do
           the
           Enemy

           good

           Honour

           Reputation

           And
           accordingly
           they
           secretly
           convey
           all
           their
           Cannon

           Ammunition

           into
           Pineria
           ,
           and
           then
           they
           had
           but
           one
           trick
           to
           try
           more
           ,
           and
           that
           was
           a
           certain
           Spell
           ,
           or
           Charm
           left
           them
           by
           the
           famous
           Necromancer
           Archimedes

           with
           this
           strict
           charge
           ,
           that
           they
           shoul
           never
           use
           it
           but
           in
           their
           last
           neccessity
           ;
           and
           this
           they
           thought
           the
           time
           ,
           now
           the
           Fort
           was
           no
           longer
           tenable
           ;
           and
           therefore
           they
           set
           it
           on
           work
           ,
           when
           presently
           all
           the
           Fortification
           fell
           a
           heaving
           ,
           and
           suddenly
           flew
           up
           into
           the
           Air
           and
           vanished
           ,
           whilst
           the
           Besieged
           under
           coverture
           of
           the
           Cloud
           ,
           safely
           retired
           to
           Pinera
           ,
           to
           re-inforce
           that
           Place
           ,
           and
           desend
           it
           against
           the
           threatning
           Danger
           .
        
         
           Sabaudiero
           was
           somewhat
           surprized
           with
           the
           Novelty
           of
           the
           thing
           as
           having
           not
           often
           seen
           such
           
             Conjuring
             Tricks
          
           ,
           but
           withal
           ,
           proud
           that
           he
           had
           Conquer'd
           such
           a
           
             Devilish
             place
          
           ,
           he
           swore
           he
           would
           now
           have
           Pineria
           ,
           or
           make
           it
           fly
           away
           after
           Pontilla
           .
           They
           made
           themselves
           Cock-sure
           of
           the
           place
           ;
           for
           they
           took
           it
           for
           granted
           ,
           that
           Sabaudocrato
           had
           not
           sufficient
           Forces
           ,
           and
           consequently
           that
           he
           durst
           not
           adventure
           to
           relieve
           it
           .
           The
           noise
           of
           this
           Siege
           slew
           abroad
           into
           all
           Countries
           ,
           and
           the
           Associates
           mightily
           comforted
           themselves
           ,
           that
           some
           considerable
           Feats
           would
           be
           done
           on
           their
           part
           ,
           which
           they
           hoped
           would
           force
           Gallieno
           to
           recal
           many
           of
           his
           Forces
           out
           of
           Inferiana
           ,
           by
           which
           means
           they
           might
           become
           an
           equal
           ,
           if
           not
           an
           over-match
           for
           those
           which
           should
           be
           left
           .
           But
           the
           foolish
           Vtopians
           were
           so
           taken
           and
           besotted
           with
           this
           
           small
           Prank
           ,
           that
           therewith
           they
           more
           than
           balanced
           all
           their
           Losses
           in
           Inferiiana

           elsewhere

           and
           conffdently
           reported
           Pineria
           to
           be

           before
           any
           direct
           Assault
           was
           made

           Conceits

             Brains

           they
           magnified

           their
           Opinions

           hitherto
           thought

           some

           march'd
           away

           they

           late
           perceived
           their
           Errour

           for
           they
           might
           plainly
           see
           that
           he

           their

           somewhat
           flushed
           ,
           and
           eager
           ,
           they
           presumed
           of
           the
           advantage
           in
           the
           Stoutness

           Valour
           of
           their
           Men

           and
           therefore
           resolved
           to
           give
           Battle
           ;
           nor

           all
           decline
           it
           .
           Both
           sides
           seeming
           thus
           eagerly
           bent
           upon
           it
           ,
           the
           Generals
           drew
           up
           their
           Forces
           in
           Battle-Array

           in
           a
           large
           Plain
           ,
           where
           all

           (
           except
           Brains
           )
           were
           so
           equal
           on
           both
           sides
           ,
           that
           there
           was
           likely
           
           to
           be
           as

           Tryal

           The
           on

           was
           fierce

           both
           sides

           for
           sometime
           it
           seem'd
           doubtful
           ,
           which
           way
           the
           victory
           would
           incline

           to

           Wine

           this

           For
           this
           ,
           or
           the
           like
           Reason
           ,
           I
           suppose
           ,
           that
           when
           they
           were
           mellow
           with
           their
           Festival
           Cups
           ,
           their
           dull
           Souls
           were
           enlightned
           ,
           or
           their
           Eyes
           saw
           double
           ,
           which
           they
           took
           to
           be
           a
           great
           advantage
           ,
           and
           therefore
           hated
           Sobriety
           ,
           because
           it
           always
           bereav'd
           them
           of
           half
           the
           Goods
           they
           had
           ,
           or
           which
           at
           least
           they
           thought
           they
           had
           ,
           whilst
           their
           Brains
           swam
           in
           Liquor
           .
           Allemano-Mastix
           concluded
           with
           himself
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           never
           suffer
           this
           
             Sacred
             Place
          
           ,
           and
           the
           
             Consecrated
             Vessel
          
           to
           be
           taken
           ,
           but
           would
           rather
           fight
           it
           desperately
           at
           any
           disadvantage
           ;
           and
           therefore
           to
           draw
           them
           to
           a
           Battle
           (
           for
           otherwise
           he
           valued
           not
           the
           place
           )
           he
           went
           and
           Besieged
           Necariana
           ,
           giving
           out
           ,
           that
           if
           he
           took
           it
           ,
           he
           would
           break
           the
           Decumandolium
           all
           to
           pieces
           ,
           so
           that
           they
           should
           not
           be
           able
           to
           celebrate
           the
           Feast
           of
           their
           darling
           God
           Bacchus
           .
        
         
           The
           noise
           of
           this
           Siege
           presently
           slew
           through
           all
           Regomania
           ,
           and
           all
           Persons
           were
           mightily
           concerned
           for
           their
           
             Holy
             City
          
           ,
           and
           impatiently
           urged
           Rabadenero
           to
           relieve
           it
           ;
           but
           he
           knowing
           his
           own
           want
           of
           Forces
           ,
           and
           with
           whom
           he
           had
           to
           do
           ,
           could
           not
           be
           prevail'd
           on
           ;
           but
           that
           he
           might
           let
           them
           see
           it
           was
           not
           his
           fault
           ,
           he
           earnestly
           sollicited
           all
           Parties
           concern'd
           ,
           for
           Supplies
           ,
           but
           they
           came
           so
           slowly
           ,
           that
           it
           had
           been
           to
           as
           much
           purpose
           ,
           if
           they
           had
           not
           come
           at
           all
           ;
           for
           a
           great
           part
           of
           the
           Inhabitants
           fled
           away
           at
           first
           ,
           carrying
           their
           Riches
           along
           with
           them
           ,
           and
           though
           many
           stayed
           ,
           and
           a
           great
           number
           of
           Souldiers
           were
           put
           in
           to
           defend
           it
           ,
           yet
           they
           drank
           so
           plentifully
           of
           the
           
             Sacred
             Liquor
          
           ,
           out
           of
           the
           
             mighty
             Vessel
          
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           little
           mind
           to
           defend
           their
           Works
           ,
           but
           easily
           quitted
           them
           upon
           every
           Attempt
           and
           in
           the
           end
           ,
           suffer'd
           the
           City
           to
           be
           taken
           by
           Storm
           ,
           making
           either
           none
           ,
           or
           a
           very
           mean
           defence

           whereupon
           ,
           the
           Luyslanders
           committed
           
             great
             Slaughter
          
           ,

           done

           is
           taken
           by
           Assault

           got
           
             great
             Riches
          
           ,
           and
           broke
           the
           
             huge
             Vessel
          
           ,
           profanly
           letting
           all

           run
           about
           ;
           there
           were
           some
           few
           who
           fled
           into
           the
           Castle

           but
           being
           threatned
           with
           an
           Assault

           they
           submitted
           upon
           easy
           terms

           thus
           Allemano-Mastix
           became

           The
           Regomanians
           were
           enrag'd

           this
           Injury

           But
           he
           led
           them

           Chase
           ,
           while
           they

           very
           fast

           lest

           make
           the
           matter
           still
           worse
           ,
           for
           they
           were
           as
           afraid
           of
           his
           Craft

           they
           were
           both

           put
           in
           what
           Forces
           he
           thought
           fit
           ,
           employing
           many
           to
           remove
           the
           Ruins

           in
           which
           work
           he
           sent
           to

           in
           a
           short
           time
           he
           made
           it
           stronger
           than
           it
           was
           before

           It
           is
           to
           be
           observed
           ,
           that
           ,
           contrary
           to
           the

             Persons

           but
           the

           except
           some

           Such
           difference
           is
           there
           in

           to
           return
           to
           our
           Business
           ,
           it
           is
           doubtful
           whether
           the
           taking
           this
           strong-hold
           caused
           greater
           Joy
           in
           Tutelia
           ,
           or
           grief
           of

           The
           Associates
           having
           gotten
           nothing
           all
           this
           Campaign
           ,
           but
           Shame
           and
           Confusion
           ,
           hung
           their
           Heads
           ,
           and
           knew
           not
           how
           to
           look
           on
           each
           other
           ;
           their
           only
           Comfort
           was
           ,
           that
           the
           Season
           of
           the
           Year
           for
           Action
           being
           past
           ,
           Grandorsio
           had
           dispersed
           his
           Forces
           into
           their
           Winter-Quarters
           ,
           and
           was
           gone
           to
           the
           mighty
           Gallieno
           ,
           to
           give
           him
           an
           account
           of
           all
           Transactions
           ,
           and
           consult
           what
           was
           to
           be
           done
           for
           the
           future
           ;
           whereupon
           ,
           the
           Associates
           met
           at
           Sennopolis
           ,
           and
           held
           serious
           Consultation
           how
           they
           might
           repair
           their
           broken
           Fortunes
           .
           Some
           said
           ,
           that
           their
           Moneys
           were
           spent
           ,
           their
           Souldiers
           Slain
           ,
           their
           Towns
           taken
           ,
           and
           that
           if
           Sabaudiero
           made
           a
           Peace
           ,
           they
           were
           all
           undone
           ,
           and
           that
           therefore
           it
           behoved
           them
           to
           take
           Care
           of
           themselves
           :
           At
           this
           Nasonius
           rose
           up
           in
           a
           Rage
           ,
           asking
           if
           they
           intended
           to
           betray
           him
           ,
           who
           had
           fed
           them
           with
           such
           Sums
           of
           Money
           as
           they
           had
           never
           before
           seen
           ,
           and
           urged
           their
           Promises
           ,
           and
           solemn
           Oaths
           ,
           that
           no
           Peace
           should
           be
           made
           without
           his
           Consent
           .
           It
           was
           replied
           ,
           that
           he
           himself
           upon
           occasion
           ,
           never
           stood
           upon
           such
           Formalities
           ,
           and
           therefore
           it
           was
           unreasonable
           for
           him
           to
           press
           any
           such
           thing
           upon
           them
           ,
           unless
           he
           could
           produce
           his
           
             Charter
             of
             Priviledge
             ,
             that
             he
             alone
             was
             not
             to
             be
             bound
             by
             any
             Promises
             or
             Oaths
             .
             Nasonius
          
           smelt
           that
           their
           design
           was
           to
           get
           more
           Money
           ,
           and
           therefore
           in
           a
           calmer
           Stile
           ,
           answered
           thus
           :
           
             That
             it
             would
             be
             an
             Eternal
             Shame
             to
             give
             over
             thus
             ,
             that
             there
             was
             no
             want
             of
             Men
             ,
             which
             they
             could
             raise
             abundantly
             ,
             and
             that
             he
             had
             made
             so
             many
             Beggars
             in
             Vtopia

             that

             but
             that

             a
             short
             time
             he
             should
             out
             of

             raise
             a

               Army

             was
             wanting

             they

             he

             more
