his Mlnifters. Such a Prince, from the Genius of the 
^urki(h Conftitution, would very foon become the Dar- 
ling of his People, more efpecially if Succefs fliould at- 
tend any of his Undertakings ; and in that Cafe he 
might very poffibly have Recourfe to Renegades, as 
Perfons the moft capable of ferving him, which if they 
were able to do, he would not fail to raife them in 
Spite of all Oppofition •, and this once accomplifhed, the 
Efreifls that muft attend it would become terrible to 
Christendom *, for confidering that general Depravity of 
Manners, and that dangerous Spirit of Irreligion, which 
prevails over all Europe^ there is nothing more likely 
than that fuch a Turn as this would draw all the turbu- 
lent and reftlefs Spirits in this Part of the World to 
feek their Fortunes under the Turks^ and then perhaps 
it would be too late to think of any Remedy for fuch an 
Evil. 
But if an oppofite Spirit could be raifed in Time, if 
Chriftian Princes could be prevailed on to lay afide their 
inteftine Jealoulies and Difputes, and think of augment- 
ing their Subje6ls, and incfeafing their Dominibnsj at 
the Expence of their common Enemy ; we have al- 
ready fhewn, that this might be very prafticablei We 
will conclude this Se6lion with obferving, that how lit- 
tle foever we hear of it, Things on this Side are really 
at a Crifis, and in the Space of a very few Years we 
fhall fee them take either one Turn or the other ; that 
is to fay, either the Chriftian Princes, more efpecially 
the two Imperial Powers of Germany and RuJJia, the 
King of Poland^ and the State of Venice^ will think of 
recovering what has been torn from them by the Otto- 
mans ; or after fome fudden and great Revolution atijong 
the Turks^ the Face of Affairs will change, and they will 
refume their Defigns againft the Chrijiians too, which 
they are always encouraged by that Power, which^ as it 
feems to have adapted the Maxims of their Policy, has 
for many Years aded as if it was the natural and unal- 
terable Ally of the Infidels, and in that Light as well 
as others , the common Enemy of Chrijtendom.
