	Iava, a great Island of Asia in the Indian Ocean, separated from Sumatra, by an Arm of the Sea, called The Streights of the Sund, which gives its Name to the neighbouring Islands. Java is above 200 Leagues long, and about 50 in breadth; it was formerly subject to many Princes, when divided into Nine Kingdoms, viz. Bantam, Jacatra, Japara, Tuban, Jortan, Passarvan, Panarucan, Balambuan, and Materan, whereof each had a City of its own Name. Now there are but 2 Princes, one of Bantam, the other of Materan, who is Stiled Emperor of Java. The Country is extreamly fruitful, especially in Aromaticks, abounds with Pepper, Benzoin, Sugar, and Mines of Gold and Brass. The chief City of the whole Island, is Materan, much frequented by the English and Dutch, which last, made themselves Masters of Jacatra in 1617, and called it Battavia, now the Residence of the Chief of the Company, and the best Bank in the Indies. Most of the Inhabitants of this Island are Mahometans. In 1684, the Dutch joining with a Son of the K. of Bantam, then in Rebellion against his Father, seized the City of Bantam, took Possession of the English Factory, and kept the old K. Prisoner in the Castle: But finding that there were Designs to restore him, they perswaded the young Prince in 1686, to remove him to Battavia. The Southern Parts of this Island are still undiscovered. In 1331, Odericus, a Friar Minor, was here; he saith, it was in Circuit 3000 Miles, divided into 8 Kingdoms, but all subject to one Supreme Prince; full of People, and one of the richest Kingdoms in the World. The Palace Royal, being paved with Bricks of Gold and Silver chequered; and that this Prince always beat the Tartars when they invaded him. Hackl. T. 2. p. 45. It lies between 130 or 140 Degrees Lon. and 5 and 10 Southern Lat. Texeira. Maffee.

	Iauregui (John.) At 23 Years of Age he went to Antwerp, by the Advice of his Master John de Anastro, Merchant in Biscaia, and being got into the P. of Orange's Castle, he discharged a Pistol at him, and wounded him, March 28. 1582.

	Iesso, or Yezo, a Continent of great extent North of Japan, from which it is separated by the Streight of Sungar. Some doubt whether it be an Isle or Continent. If we believe those of China, 'tis part of Tartary, which holds with the Kingdoms of Yupi and Niulhan; as appears by P. Martin's Chart of China and Japan. Moreover, it is Recorded in the Annals of China, That on the other side of the Land of Leaottung towards the N. E. there are Countries of Six Thousand Stadiums, that is near 24 Degrees. But in late Voyages, Discovery has been made of a Streight, between Tartary and the Land of Jesso, called The Streight of Jesso, which doth not agree with the Opinion of the Chineses. The Inhabitants of Jesso, wear Beasts-skins for Cover; and, as it is said, Stomachers of Brass able to withstand an Arrow. They are Warriors, and dreaded by the Japans. They observe no Religion, without it be to Worship the Sun and Stars; nor, have they any Policy or Government amongst them. The Hollanders have observed, that this People were not so barbarous as they appeared, for that they came amongst Strangers in their best Habits. Tho' this Land lies near Japan, and is only divided by the Streight of Sungar, yet the Emp. of Japan could never know the Places remote from the Shoar, tho' they often sent Persons well provided, to make Discoveries; for they could meet with nothing but rude Mountaineers, which could not answer their Expectations. It is thought, That this Land reacheth to North America, and joins to the famous Streights of Anian, so long sought but never found. Martin's description of China. M.

	Iesua, a Rabbin, of the Tribe of Levi, a Spaniard, who lived in the XVth. Century. He composed a Work, very useful for all such as would study the Talmud. This Work is Entituled, Halicoth Olam, The way to Eternity, therein he neatly explains the manner how the Talmud-Doctors speak, how they make their Objections, and how they answer them; for there is nothing so intricate as that in the Book of the Talmud. There are many Editions in Hebrew of this Work. Constantine l'Empereur, Professor of the Jewish Controversies at Leyden, Printed a Latin Translation thereof at the same Town, An. 1634, where he also added the Hebrew Text. Vide Buxtorf. in his Rabbinical Library.		Iesua, a Rabbin, of the Tribe of Levi, a Spaniard, who lived in the XVth. Century. He composed a Work, very useful for all such as would study the Talmud.

	Indigetes, is a Name which the Ancients gave their Heroes, listed in the Number of Gods; as, Hercules, Romulus, Caesar, &c. The Ancients give likewise the Name of Indigetes to a People of Spain, so called, and now inhabiting Ampourdan, in the Principality of Catalonia, upon the Frontiers of France, and the Earldom of Roussillon.

	Indostan, or the Empire of the Great Mogul, is bounded on the N. with the Asian Tartary, and the Kingdom of Thibet, on the W. by the Kingdom of Persia, on the E. by the River Cosmin or Cosmite, which separates it from the rest of the Indies; and on the S. with the Bay of Bengale, and Promontory of Malabar. To the account of this Country under the Word Mogul, may be added, That its great Commerce brings it vast Summs of Gold and Silver, and that there is but little Exported. For Turkey, Arabia-Foelix, and Persia cannot subsist without its Commerce. Its Merchandices are sent to Pegu, Siam, to Macassar or Celebes, to Sumatra, Ceylan, Maldives, Moramzique, and other places, whence they have great store of Gold. The Europeans also disburse great Summs with them, which the Country-People work into Goldsmith's-works, and use in their Manufactures of Cloath of Silver and Gold, which they exchange for Brass, Nutmegs, Cinnamon, &c. with the Hollanders; with the English for Lead; and the French for Scarlets; with those of Ʋsbeck and Persia for Horses. The Great Mogul's Treasury is rich, almost beyond belief; for this Prince is Heir of all the Omra's or Lords of his Court, and of all the Manseb-dars or petty Omra's, that receive his Pay; besides this, he has the Property of all the Lands of his Kingdom. This Empire is more subject to Civil Wars and Rebellions, than any on the Earth, because of the Disputes which frequently happen betwixt the Sons of the Great Mogul for the Crown, and the turbulent Spirits of those who dwell in Woods and Mountains, who were never entirely subdued, because the principal part of the Emperor's Army consisting of that People, they favour them. See Mogul. Bernier's Hist. du Grand Mogul.

	Indous, a Sort of Pagans in India, on the other side of the Ganges. They are no Banyans, for they Kill and Eat all Sorts of Beasts, besides Oxen and Cows. They believe One only God, and the Immortality of the Soul, but they spoil this Belief with a vast number of Superstitions. They take their Meals within a Circle, into which they will not suffer the Banyans, whom they abhorr, to enter. They are most of them Soldiers, and the Great Mogul makes use of them to Garrison his best Places. Mandeslo Tom. II. of Olearius.		Indous, a Sort of Pagans in India, on the other side of the Ganges.
