importing the mere perditionof the Turkish fleet，
every man put himself into triumph；some to dance，
some to make bonfires，each man to what sport and
revels his addiction leads him：for，besides these
beneficial news，it is the celebration of his
nuptial．So much was his pleasure should be
proclaimed．All offices are open，and there is full
