last oblig'd to order the _Kofiran_ Troops to march. The first Body
marched towards the _Nhir_, to oppose the Emperor of the _Maregins_, the
second towards the Kingdom of _Goplone_, to impose upon them their
former Sovereign, and the third hastened into the Provinces of the
_Neitilanes_, to make sure of the Dominions of _Sicidem_.

As this War was carried on only in _Zeokinizul_'s Name, and he did not
personally act in it, I shall omit its various Events, in Order to come
the sooner to what immediately relates to this young King. After the
loss of two Battles, and a strong City taken by the _Kofirans_, the
Emperor of the _Maregins_ was very glad to accept of a Peace, upon such
Conditions as were alone detrimental to his Allies. As a Satisfaction to
_Zeokinizul_'s Father-in-law for his Kingdom, which he relinquish'd to
another, he was allowed to retain the Title of King, and was made
actual Sovereign of the Province of _Reinarol_, which after his Death,
was by the Treaty to be annexed to the Kingdom of the _Kofirans_, and
the _Kam_ in exchange for this Cession, was invested with the Dominions
of _Sicidem_. Tho' this was an advantageous Peace to the Conquerors, yet
it was very short of what they might reasonably have expected, or at
least, if _Zeokinizul_ was so moderate as to be contented with such
small Matters, it behov'd his Minister to insist upon more important and
honourable Terms. However, the Glory of his Arms, was the continual
Topic to him; and this Prince by hearing of the Exploits of his Soldiers
so frequently extoll'd, began to give Signs of a martial Disposition.
His Genius now display'd itself, and instead of reigning ingloriously
only by a Minister, he shewed, that he would be in all Respects the
King. His Courtiers, who had always with Reluctance paid Obedience to
the Order of the haughty _Mollak_, applauded this generous Resolution,
while the crafty _Jeflur_ had the Mortification to see, that his
Ministry was going to be overturned, by the very Thing which he fancied
