18.1.5

Ther is a resolution taken that Sultan Caronne shall goe to the Decan Warres and the day prefixed, having Consulted all the Bramans. Prince Paruis is Called home, whom it is reported wrote his father that if hee would send his elder brother, hee would obey, but to dishonor him by imploying this, he would first fall on him and after finish the warr. All the Capptayens, as Channa chana, Mahobet chan, chan John, refuse to stay if this Tyrant come to Command, so well he is beloued. It is true all men awe him more then the king Now that hee is to receiue the Armie. The king Cannot be remooued from his resolution to send him : so that his sudeyne departure 22 dayes from this present must hasten mee to finish this busines and to know a resolution ; for after his departure with his minione Zulpheckcarcon there is no hope to recouer a penny, nor any Justice against him.
