summary:
  THe Use or Practice of the Ballot hath been very Ancient in the Eastern Countries ; And Postellus conceiveth , that the Venetian use of the Ball , is the same with that , which was of the Lot in the Commonwealth of Israel , and of the Bean in Atthens Cicero himself doth give a very good account , and a very great Encomium of the Table or Ballot of the People of Rome ; And certainly Rome nor Carthage had ever attain'd to their Grandeur and Reputation in the World , had it not been for the Ballot . The Officers in that State are but few ; and they make choice of such as are knowing :

  An account of the present war between the Venetians & Turk with the state of Candie (in a letter to the king, from Venice) / by the Earl of Castlemaine.

summary:
  Reader , YOu have here a very exact Map of Candie ( considering the bigness ) with all its remarkable Places and Fortifications , and also the manner how the Turks Attaqu'd it two several times . Thus ( though in short ) may be seen the manner of this War , which began through the Turks unsatiable avarice of getting Candie ; and without this , 't is certain they can never be quiet in the Levant .

  The opinion of Padre Paolo of the Order of the Servites, consultor of state given to the Lords the Inquisitors of state, in what manner the republick of Venice ought to govern themselves both at home and abroad, to have perpetual dominion.

summary:
  To begin with the First , I might in short put you in mind of the Saying of St. Bernardino of Siena , to the Doge M●ro , who said , That the Republick should continue so long as they should keep to the Rule of doing Exact Justice ; but to come nearer to the matter , and the Condition of these Times , we must reduce under that Head of Justice , all that contributes to the Service of the State ; and , to speak yet more succinctly , we will lay it down as a Maxim , That all is just which is any ways necessary for the maintaining of the Government . The Spaniards , who have so little kindness for the Venetian Government , have not a more odious Name than to call it , A Republick of Merchants .

  The history of the three late, famous impostors, viz. Padre Ottomano, Mahomed Bei and Sabatai Sevi the one, pretended son and heir to the late Grand Signior, the other, a prince of the Ottoman family, but in truth, a Valachian counterfeit, and the last, the suppos'd Messiah of the Jews, in the year of the true Messiah, 1666 : with a brief account of the ground and occasion of the present war between the Turk and the Venetian : together with the cause of the final extirpation, destruction and exile of the Jews out of the Empire of Persia.

summary:
  And as they indeavour'd to purge their Consciences of Sin , and to apply themselves to good VVorkes , that the Messiah might find the City prepared for his Reception ; so , least he should accuse them of any omission in the Law , and particularly in their neglect of that Antient Precept of , Increase and Multiply ; they marryed together Children of ten yeares of age , and some under , without respect to Riches , or Poverty , Condition or Quality : But , being promiscuously joyned , to the number of 6 or 700 ●ouple , upon better and cooler thoughts , after the deceipt of the false M●ssiah was discover'd , or the expectation of his Coming grew cold , were Divorced , or by Consent separated from each other . Greatly pleas●d with their success , they set Saile immediately for Malta , where the hopes of their fancied Prize had so far exalted them , that they soon noys'd it over all Christendome , that they had taken the Grand Signiors Son , and the Sultana his Mother , with many like stories which pass'd about the VVorld for current , and it gain'd credit , and was indeed generally believ'd by themselves : Nay , the whole Colledge , and Religion of Malta were so elated and possess'd with the conceit of it , that they began seriously to consult of proposing an Exchange for Rhodes , which had been their antient Seat , and which they almost made themselves as good as sure of .
