AN ACCOUNT of MULT MOLUC.
W HEN Don Sebastian, king of Portugal, had
invaded the territories of Muly Moluc, emperor
of ^Morocco, in order to dethrone him, and let the
crbvyn ON the head of his npthew, Molne was
taring away with a fffiemper winch he knew
was incurable. However, be prepared to meet
<0 formidable an enemy. He was indeed so far
fprnt with his fickin fs, that he did not expea
to live out rhe whole day, when the last deceive
Battle was given, but knowing that fatal con
fcqucncce Would hapuen to his children and
^oplc, in case he died before be put an end to the
war, be commanded his principal officers, that if
he died during the engagement, they mould con
ceal his death from the army, and that they fhoald
rime up to the fitter in which lie was carried un
der pretence of receiving orders from him as usual.
Before the battle begun he was carried through all
the ranks of bis army in an open litter, as they
flood drawn up in array' , encouraging them to
tight valiantly in defence of their religion and
x-untry. Finding afterwards the battle to go a
^inft him, though he was very near bis last ago
nies, he threw himfelf cut of bis litter, rallied his
sr:oy, and led them on to the charge; which af
terwards ended in a complete vidory on the fide
of the Moors —He had go sooner brought his men
to the engagement, but finding himfelf utterly
(pent, he was again replaced in the litter, where
laying his finger on his mouth to enjoin fecrepy to
his officers, who flood about him, be died in that
posture. 5
Not long since, were present at tea table, the
following person Two great grand parents,
