ving favoured the flight of his Son. But then, it being out of his Power to 
Chaftife his Son in Perfon, he Difinherited him, leaving him not fo much as 
one Farthing. Now the Mother of Don Philippo^ who was no Jefs sfflidled for 
the lofs of her Son, (whom flie paffionateJy loved) bethought her felf of 
all ways how (he might recover him, and prevailed fo far with an Englilh 
Captain, that he promifed to bring him back This Traytor inexécution of 
his defign , came to Falemia^ where having foon got acquaintance of this 
Prince, he found that he wanted Money, and fupplied him. Don PhiUppo ha- 
ving got Money, made an Equipage, and foon fqaandered away two or three 
Thoufand Crowns, that were lent him. But fome time after, the Captain de- 
manding payment of his Money, put the Prince to a great plunge : He ofFer'd 
the Captain a Letter to his Mother, who would pay him all that he had Bor- 
rowed of him-, but the Captain would not have it. Saying, That he was no 
moi e owned in that Country, now he was turned Chriftian, but that headvi- 
fed him to return to Rome^ where he had been well received, that his Holi- 
nefs would itill receive him in the fame manner, and quickly put him in a 
condition to repay him ; offering him at the fame time to carry him thither in 
his Ship. The Prince embraced the offer, and taking his Wife and fome 
Chriilian Servants on board with him, put to Sea -, but the Captain in ftead 
of diteding his Courfe toward Rome, flood away for Tufiis, fothat the Prince 
was all in amaze when he knew Goletta. He had had intelligence inS/c/7yof 
the death of his Father, and therefore finding himfelf betrayed, he made a 
Vertue of Neceffity j and writing a Letter privately to fome Friends that he 
had at r«m, he fent it afhoar by fome of the Ships Company, who fecretly 
brought him an anfwer. He acquainted thofe his Friends with his arrival, and 
asked their advice what way he fliould enter Turns. They fent him back an an- 
fwer. That they would come next day with a Brigantine, and carry him away as 
by force. Wherefore next Morning he went out in the Ships Boat, that he 
might go Fifh near the fhoar, and took with him the Sicilian I mentioned be- 
fore, who hath always ferved him. This Man,vv'howas made believe that they 
were Caft upon Tnms by foul Weather, would have difliiaded him from that 
Fifhing, telling him that he might be known: But heanfwered. That he was 
fo much altered, that he did not at all fear that, for he had now been feverai 
Years abfent. They were no fooner got off from the Ship, but a Brigantine 
full of Armed Men came up towards them, who having fired fome fhot in the 
Air, entred the Boat, and with great refped faluted the Prince. But the poor 
Sicilian (who fteered the Boat) was much furprifed , not knowing what 
to do. Immediately they were carried to Turns, where being arrived, Do;i 
Philippo went to fee the Dey firft, and then his Mother i who expeded him with 
great impatience. The Dey ordered him, as a Punifhment for his flying into 
Chriftendom, to walk through the Town in the SpaniOi Apparel he then wore, 
fo that he was a Laughing-ftock to all the People ; but if he had not had good 
Friends, he had lofl; his Head for his flying. After he had feen his Mother, 
they put him into Turkifh Apparel : But when they came to cut off his Hair 
( which was very lovely and longj he told me, he had much ado to confent to 
it, and thought that he could more willingly have fuffered Death, than parted 
from his Hair. Neverthelefs, having fent for diredion from his ConfefTor 
concerning the matter : His Confeflx)r fent him this Refolution, That the Chri- 
ftian Religion confifted not in Hair, and that therefore he fliould fufîèr it to 
be cut ofT! Then he fent for his Wife to Turns, ( flie being with Child ) but 
he had much ado to preferve his Servants liberty ; for the Dey and J^a of 
the Divan, would have had them made Slave?, neverthelefs they retained both 
their Liberty and Religion. Two years after, he would have fent his Wife 
' back again into Chrifltendom, but they would not fufFer him ^ however after 
many difficulties, flie went away attended by a Servant of the Princes, leaving 
a Son behind her, and came to Genoa, where flie put her felf into a Nunnery, 
and hath llncc continued. 
Now Don Philippo having been Difinherited by his Father, had nothing to 
Live on but what he had from his Mother, who is very fond of him : Nor is 
he put into any Place, becaufe they ftill believe him to be a Chriftian, there
