SHAH ABBAS. 
I) Y a law of Perfia, the monarch is’ 
authorifed to go whienever he pleafes 
‘to the haram of any of his tubjects, and 
he, on whofe prerogative he thus in- 
croaches, fo far from exerting his uftal 
jealouly, reckons himfelf highly honcured, 
by being royally cornuted. A ftery, on 
the fubjeét, is told of Shah Abbas, who, 
having been intoxicated at the houfe of 
one of his favourites, and attempting to 
go into the apartment of his wives, was 
flopped by the door-keeper, who bluntly 
‘told him, wot a man, Sir, befides my maf- 
ier, foall enter here fo long as I am porter. 
« What,”’ faid the king, “* doft thou not 
know me >’ . ** Yes,”’ anfwered the fel- 
low,” ‘*I know you are king of the 
men, but not of the women.”? Shah Ab- 
bas, pleafed with the anfwer, and the fi- 
delity of the fervant, retired to his pa- 
lace. The favourite, at whofe houfe the 
adventure happened, as foon as he heard 
of it, went and fell at his mafter’s feet, 
intreating that he would nof impute to 
him the crime committed by his domeftic, 
and adding, ** I have already turned him 
away from my fervice for his prefump- 
tion.” ‘* I am glad of it,” anfwered the 
king, * for then I will take him into mine 
for his fidelity.” 
ARGUMENTS AGAINST REFORM. 
IT has been a common obfervation, that 
there is nothing new in the world, but 
that old maxims and modes of action are 
continually recurring, only a little varied 
by circumitances. The truth of this re- 
mark is, in no refpect, mere ftrikingly ii- 
luftrated than in the iffue of al attemprs 
at refurm of every kind, and the argu- 
ments applied to combat them. Father 
Paul, in his celebrated Hiftory of the 
Council of Trent, has given a fummary 
of the reafoning employed by Cardinal 
Soderino, an old politician of the court of 
Rome, to divert the honeft, well-mear- 
ing Pope Adrian from his purpofe of op- 
pofing the progrefs of the reformation, by 
a fubftantial corre&tion of the abufes 
which had given rife to it. ¢* The val- 
gar,” faid he, ** who always judge from 
events, when, by the propofed reform, 
they are affured that the papal government 
was, in fome points, juftly cenfured, will 
be readily perfuaded that the other defired 
innovations have alfo a reafonable founda- 
tion; and the herefiarchs, finding them- 
felves victorious in one part, will conti- 
nue their attacks on the reft. “In all hu- 
nian affairs it is found, that receiving fa- 
tisfation in fome requefts gives rile to 
others, under the notion that they aré 
due. From the hiftories of former here- 
fies excited againft the church of Rome, it 
will appear, that all have taken their pre- 
text trom the corruptions of the papal 
court; yet, no pontiff ever thought it 
advifeable to correét thefe ; but, after em- 
ploying admonitions and inftrutions to 
cail
