After all, The Monarch w hich in our Dayes hath Re-u- 
nited the Chinefe and the Tdrtars, under one and the fame 
Government^ has done (bme things more for the advantage 
of the Security of Chim^ than the Chinefe Emperor that 
Built thelong Wall. For after having Reduced the Weft- 
ern r^r^^rj-, partly by Artifice, partly by Force of Armes : 
He has Obleiged them to go and rem aine at 300 Miles Dift- 
ance from the Wall of Cht?ia \ and in this place he Diftributs 
to them Lands and Paftures, whilft he has given their 
Country to other Tanars, his Subjects wliich have their Ha-

Weftern Jkr^^r^ are fo Powerful, that if they fhould agree 
together, they might make themfelves Mafters of all China^

I have laid, xh^ttht Tartarian Monarch that Conquered 
Chinay ufed an expedient for Subduing the Weftern Tartars. 
For one of his firft Cares was to engage to his Intereft by 
his Royal Bounties, and by Demonftration of a Singular 
Affeftion, the Lamas (^ov Preijls ) thefe Men having a 
great Repute about all thofe of their Nation, eafily 
perfwaded them to Submit to the Government of fb great 
a Prince, and \is in confideration of this Service done to the 
Eftate, that the prefent Emperor looks upon thefe Lamas 
with a Favourable Eye, that hebeftows Prefents on them ; 
and that he makes ufe of them to keep th^Tartars in theO- 
bedience which they owe him : Tho' at the Botoni he hath 
nothing but Dis-efteem for their Perfons, and looks upon 
them as a Sort of Ignorant Fellows, which have not theleaft 
Tinfture of the Sciences or Commendable Arts, in which 
without doubt this Prince lliews a Wife Policy, in fo DiC- 
guifeing his true Sentiments, by thefe Exteriour Marks of 
Efteem and Goodwil.
