WHen the King removes from Constantinople, to any Expedi∣tion of War, he carrieth with him double Tents, that when one is planted this day, th' other is carried to the next station, ready to receive him the day following: the num∣ber and magnitude of these Pavili∣ons is such, that afar off they seem no less then Cities: round a∣bout the King's Pavilion, are the Tents of Princes and great Men,
encompassing his in circle. Then the horse-men of Arms, two or three together, have their Tent: the foot-men have the like for dis∣cipline sake, and to keep them from cold Air. When the body of the Army moves, Yeomen foot∣men clear the wayes, and here and there make heaps of stone, or piles of wood, for ease and direction of the passage; so as even in dark∣ness of the night they can hardly erre. The Army moveth at mid∣night, and till mid-day following marcheth. The King rides be∣tween two Bassa's talking with him, before whom marcheth some of the order of Janizaries on horse∣back, bearing lighted Candles in time of night. Certain Cap∣tains follow them with iron Clubs round pointed, who keep off men from sight of the King a good large distance: amongst these, are num∣bers of the King's Guard; and a∣mongst
them, a Chariot of Women and Boyes, fitted for use of the Turk and his Nobility. These great Men, go some before, some follow these Captains with great multitudes of Souldiers, horse and foot, and all conditions; some for stipend, some for plunder; but all men.
