died*. The name bF this man, '(foe his .courage
worthy of eternal memory) was Miles Cobelitz,»
who before lore wounded, was (hordy after in
the prelence of Baja&et cut into (mail pieces.
The Turks in their Annals ibmewhat biherwife
report of the death of AmWraih; as thatthis Coielitx,
one of the Delpot.his Servants, in time

offering him his Service, and admitted to his
prelence, in humbling himlclf to have killed his
Feet fas the barbarous manner of the Tufksas)
1 tabbed him into the belly and 1b flew him;
being himfelf therefore (hortly after (asisafore-
(aidj in the prelence ofBajazct moft cruelly he wen
into (mall pieces. Whereupon ever fuice that
time, the manner of the Turks hach been, and
yet is, that when any Embaflador or Stranger
is come to kils the Sultan his hand, or otherwife
to approach his Perfon, he is as it were for honours
lake, led by the Arms unto his prelence, betwixt
two of the great Courtiers; but indeed by lb intangling
him, to be fu re that he (hall not offer
him the like violence, that did this Cobelitz, unto
Amurath.
The dead-body of Amurath was preiently with
all lecrecy conveyed into his Tent by the Baflaes
and Captains present at his death; whether Bi*i

younger Brother Jacup, firnamed Zetebi (or the
Noble; yet ignorant of that had hapned, was by
the great Bauaes lent for, as from his Father;
who calling no peril, but coming into his Fathers
Tent, was there preiently by them ftrangled, by
the commandment of Baja&et, as moft Hiftories
report j howbeit the Turks Annals charge him
not therewith. This wis the beginning of the

beginning of their Reign moft cruelly to Mafia*

once to rid themlelves of all fear of their Com*
podtors.
This Amurath was in his Superftition more
zealous than any other of the Torkifh- Kings » a
man of great courage and in 'all his Attempts
jprcanate * he made greater (laughter of his Enemies,
than both his Father and Grandfather > his
Kingdom in Afia he greatly lnlarged by the
Sword, Marriage, and Purchale * and tiling the
Difcord and Cowardile of the Grecian Princes, to
his profit, liibdued a great part of Thracia, called
Romania, with the Territories thereto ad/oyning,
leaving unto the. Emperor of Conftantinople, lictle;
or nothing: more in Thracia,'thia the Imperial •
City it felf, with the bare name of an Emperor,
almoft without an Empire » he won a great part
of Bulgaria} and entred into iSww&, Bofna, and
Macedonia ;,-he was liberal, and wichall fevere ; of
his Subjects both beloved and feared", a man of
very few words, and one that could difiemble
deeply. He was (lain when he was threelcore
ana eight years old, and had thereof reigned
thirty one, in the year of our Lord, 1390. His
dead body was by Bajazet conveyed into Afia,

the Baths there j where,- upon his Tomb lieth Ins Prafa -
Souldiers Cloke, with a little Turkifli Tulipanr,
much differing from thole great Turbants which
