To our Beglerbeg of Algier.

WE certifie thee by this our commandement, that the right honorable Will. Hareborne ambassador to the Queenes maiestie of England hath signified vnto vs, that the ships of that countrey in their comming and returning to and from our Empire, on the one part of the Seas haue the Spaniards, Florentines, Sicilians and Malteses, on the other part our countreis committed to your charge: which aboue said Christians will not quietly suf∣fer their egresse and regresse, into, and out of our dominions, but doe take and make the men cap∣tiues,

and forfeit the shippes and goods, as the last yeere the Malteses did one, which they tooke at Gerbi, and to that end do continually lie in wait for them to their destruction, whereupon they are constrained to stand to their defence at any such time as they might meet with them. Where∣fore considering by this means they must stand vpon their guard, when they shall see any gallie a∣farre off, whereby if meeting with any of your gallies and not knowing them, in their defence they do shoot at them, and yet after when they doe certainly know them, do not shoote any more, but re∣quire to passe peaceably on their voiage, which you would deny, saying, the peace is brokē because you haue shot at vs, and so make prize of them contrary to our priuileges, and against reason: for the preuenting of which inconuenience the said ambassador hath required this our commaundement. We therefore command thee, that vpon sight hereof thou doe not permit any such matter in any sort whatsoeuer, but suffer the sayd Englishmen to passe in peace according to the tenour of our commandement giuen, without any disturbance or let by any means vpon the way, although that meeting with thy gallies, and not knowing them afarre off, they taking them for enemies should shoot at them, yet shall you not suffer them to hurt them therfore, but quietly to passe. Wherefore looke thou that they may haue right, according to our priuilege giuen them, & finding any that ab∣senteth himself, & wil not obey this our commandement, presently certify vs to our porch, that we may giue order for his punishment, and with reuerence giue faithfull credite to this our comman∣dement, which hauing read, thou shalt againe returne it vnto them that present it. From our pa∣lace in Constantinople, t••e 1. of Iune 1584.
