This account of her meeting with Sultan Mehmet IV is taken from George Bishop’s New England Judged, Not by Man’s, but the Spirit of the LORD: And The SUMME sealed up of NEW-ENGLAND'S PERSECUTIONS. Being A Brief Relation of the Sufferings of the People called Quakers in those Parts of AMERICA, from the beginning of the Fifth Moneth 1656. (the time of their first Arrival at BOSTON from ENGLAND) to the later end of the Tenth Moneth, 1660 (London: Robert Wilson, 1661), online at EEBO.

He starts with the execution of the two Friends William Robinson, and Marmaduke Stevenson, and continues to the serious mistreatment of Mary Fisher and her older companion Anne Austin before their deportation back to Barbados. He then proceeds to compare the cruelty and intolerance of the ‘Government of the Massachusets in New England’, first with the behaviour of the so-called savage ‘Indians near you’:

Their Kindness to those People in Entertaining them in their Wig-wams (or Tents) as their Inns upon their Travels in the Night (where otherwise, nothing but the Open Wilderness must have lodged them) in Cold and Rain, in Hunger and Thirst, and Weariness in their Journeying to you, and being banish’d from you; their readiness to take off (of themselves) the Upper Garments of those People, and hang them up about the fire, when these came in Wet; their making ready warm Meat (such as they had) and good Fires for them; their furnishing them with Provisions, and freely too, and guiding them scores of Miles in the Woods (who otherwise, as to Men, might have perish’d; for their Travellings were harder than their Sufferings, though their Sufferings were very hard, (as you will hear by and by, and do know in part who inflicted it upon them) their lying in Woods; the hardness to find the Way; the foordings of Rivers, yea, when somewhat frozen with the Ice; the danger of falling into great Rivers ere they were aware in the Moon-light through the Thickets: with much more, too long to relate doth sufficiently speak it ...

and then with examples of the treatment Friends have received from almost every other nation in their travels.

One of his final examples before returning to the inhumanity of the American settlers to the Quakers is the courteous treatment Mary Fisher received from Sultan Mehmet IV:

[Page 19. Margin ‘ John Perrott, John Love’]  Shall I take upon me a long Journey from Rome to Constantinople, from the Pope to the Turk, and wade through the difficulties of such an Undertaking? Shall I Traverse the Morea, or that part of the Turks Dominion which is called Greece, from Patra (on the Sea shore towards Zaunt) to Vestreetshaw, and from thence to Corinth, Eneca and Athens? (where Paul preached) Shall I cross the Hellispont to Egrippa in the Island Negropoint, and so to Sco, and the other Isles, to Smyrna in Asia, and so back again to Venice? Shall I return to Zaunt, and the Morea again, and Travel about 600. Miles from the Morea shoare to Adrianople, and from thence to the Turkish Army Encamped near it, and through the Army to the Grand Seignior himself, and tell you of one Passage for all to Conclude ye for Ever?

[Margin: ‘Mary Fisher’]  Mary Fisher a Servant of the Lord, a Maiden Friend, being moved of the Lord to go and deliver his Word to the Great Turk, who with his Army lay Encamp’t near to Adrianople, went thitherwards to Smyrna, but being hindred in Her Passage that way by the English Ambassador, who sent her back to Venice, passed by Land from the Sea Coasts of the Morea to Adrianople aforesaid, very Peaceably without any abuse or injury offered her in that long Journey of about five or six hundred miles. Being come to Adrianople, near unto which was the Great Turk, and his Army, she acquainted some of the Citizens with her Intent; and desired some of them to go with her, but when none of them durst to go fearing his Displeasure, she passed alone, and coming near the Camp, procured a man to inform at the Great Viziers Tent (or chief General of the Army) that there was an English woman had something to declare from the Great God to the Great Turk: Who soon sent her word that she should speak with him the next Morning. So she returned to the City that night; and the next morning came to the Camp, and so to the Great Turk, who being with his great Men about him, as he uses to be when he receives Ambassadors, sent for her in; and she coming before him, he asked her, Whether it was so as he had heard, (scilicet) That she had something to say to him from the Lord? She answered him Yea— Then he bad her speak on (having Three Interpreters by him) and when she stood silent a little, waiting on the Lord when to speak, he supposing that she might [page 20] be fearful to utter her mind before them all, asked her, Whether she desired that any might go forth before she spake? She answered, Nay; Then he bad her speak the Word of the Lord to them, and not to fear, for they had good hearts and could hear it — and strictly charged her to speak the Word she had to say from the Lord, neither more or less, for they were willing to hear it, be it what it would Which she speaking what the Lord had put into her mouth to say, They all gave dilligent heed with much soberness and gravity till she had done, and then He asking her, Whether she had any more to say? She asked of him, Whether he understood what she had said? He replied, Yes, Every word; and further said — That it was Truth — and desired her to stay in that Countrey, saying — That they could not but respect such a One as should take so much pains to come to them so far as from England with a Message from the Lord, — and profered her a Guard to bring her unto Constantinople, whither she intended, which she accepting not (trusting in the Arme of the Lord which had brought her thither to bring her back, who had prospered her Work.) He told her, It was dangerous Travelling, especially for such a one as she, and wondred that she had passed so safe so far as she had; Saying, It was in respect to her, and kindness that he profered it, and that he would not for any thing she should come to the least hurt in his Dominions: (A Worthy Expression of so great a Prince) They were also desirous of more words than she had freedom to speak, and asked her, What she thought of their Prophet Mahomet? She Replied, That she knew him not, but the Christ, the true Prophet, the Son of God, Who was the Light of the World, and enlightneth every man that cometh into the World, Him she knew: — And further concerning Mahomet, she said, That they might judge of him to be true or false, according as the Words and Prophesies he spake were either true or false; Saying, If the Word that the Prophet speaketh come to pass, then shall ye know that the Lord hath sent that Prophet, but if it come not to pass, then shall ye know that the Lord never sent him — To which they confessed and said, It was Truth. And so she departed through that Great Army to Constantinople without a Guard, whitherto she came without the least hurt or Scoff, to the Commendation and praise of the Discipline of that Army; the glory of the great Turk, and his great Renown, and your Everlasting shame and Contempt.
