THe Emperour distributes in some equality all Provinces to his Noblemen; but with condi∣tion, that such a Souldiery shall be continually maintained by him with the Revenues of that Pro∣vince, both in time of Peace and War. A Souldier killed, is not loss to him, unless the Province likewise be lost: as for example, The Turk hath now four hundred Souldiers, whereof one hundred is maintained by Hungary; now if he lose Hungary, those Souldiers
are lost: if he lose no Province, he loseth nothing; for he can raise more in their rooms; as Church-Officers, or benefits, easily finde in vancancies Successors.
