16.4

And God, may He be glorified and exalted, preserves the Emperor of Islam, and the just king Bahram Shah ibn Mas'ud Shah ibn Ibrahim Shah ibn Mas'ud Shah ibn Mahmud Shah, from iniquity and oppression, and although the whole world should combine to write and describe the stock and supply of grateful acknowledgment of this slave's heart, they would have no power to express it, and the tree which the king of the kingdom planted for the discovery of the secrets of the unseen, even Gabriel and Michael were precluded from having any share therein : it is certain that in all circumstances the just man is happy and the tyrant is miserable, and the worst of all oppression is this that a small party should read a subject and not understand it, but become arrogant with regard to it and loosen the tongue of censure against the learned.
