STATE
OF
The
Government
of
the

,
FERDINAND
the

,

it
was
in
the

1636.
CHAP.
1.
Of
the
reasons
for
which
the
Emperour
FERDINAND
,
the
second
,
hath
alwaies
kept
his
Court
at
Vienna
.
IN
treating
of
the
State
,
of
the
late
Emperour
FERDINAND
the
second
,
It
is
first
of
all
to
bee
considered
;
that
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
from
the
beginning
of
his
raigne
to
the
end
of
his
life
,
did
ever
keepe
his
constant
Residence
in
the
City
of
Vienna
;
as
well
for
the
commodious
Scituation
,
and
pleasantnesse
of
the
place
;
plenty
of
foode
,
and
all
other
necessaries
for
man
;
and
the
adjoyning
Forrests
and
Woods
,
most
fit
for
hunting
,
and
other
neighbouring
places
of
pleasure
;
the
chiefe
of
which
are
,
Brater
,
Begelhoff
,
Newgebew
,
Caterburg
,
Ebersdorff
,
Laxemburg
,
Wolckers
dorff
,
Orth
,
Closter
Newburg
,
or
the
Monastery
of
Neoburg
,
Newstat
,
&c.
As
also
(
chiefly
,
since
these
long
,
and
yet
continued
,
warres
in
Germany
,
)
by
reason
of
the
strength
of
the
City
,
and
that
his
Imperiall
Majesty
being
there
was
in
a
manner
safely
compassed
by
the
rest
of
his
hereditary
Kingdomes
,
&
Principalities
,
from
whence
hee
might
,
in
case
of
need
,
with
more
conveniency
derive
assistance
:
And
lastly
,
for
the
benefit
of
the
two
navigable
Rivers
of
Ehu
and
Danube
,
by
which
all
necessaries
for
the
Imperiall
Court
,
may
from
other
places
of
the
German
Empire
and
from
Italy
,
be
the
more
easily
furnished
and
brought
thither
.
CHAP.

Of
the
Scituation
,
circuit
,
and
fortification
of
Vienna
;
of
the
Danube
;
of
the
Garison
,
Suburbs
,
Ecclesiasticall
Iurisdiction
,
the
Bishop
,
the
Vniversity
,
Civill
and
Politique
governmen
,
the
Lieutenant
;
and
of
the
Castle
of
Vienna
;
in
which
the
Emperour
keepes
his
Court.
THe
City
of
Vienna
,
is
the
Metropolis
of
the
Lower
Austria
,
as
the
Towne
of
Lintz
is
of
the
upper
.
In
both
which
places
now
,
almost
every
yeare
,
and
sometimes
(
when
necessity
requires
)
there
are
often
in
one
yeare
held
Assemblies
of
each
province
,
in
which
as
to
the
lawfull
Prince
and
Lord
of
the
Country
,
when
hee
doth
fairely
aske
it
,
are
often
granted
and
presented
by
the
subjects
many
hundred
thousand
crownes
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
The
City
it selfe
is
seated
in
somewhat
a
pleasant
plaine
,
and
in
a
soile
which
is
naturally
most
fruitfull
and
good
for
Corne
and
Wine
,
and
all
other
kinde
of
Food
and
fruites
,
upon
the
bankes
of
the
Danube
;
which
although
indeed
it
be
but
a
branch
of
the
maine
Danube
,
yet
at
the
season
of
the
yeare
,
when
the
River
is
high
,
it
is
capable
of
good
ordinary
vessels
.
But
when
the
River
decreaseth
,
the
ships
are
forced
to
stay
above
at
Nusdorff
,
a
league
from
the
City
,
and
sometimes
two
leagues
higher
,
at
the
Monastery
of
Newburg
.
About
halfe
a
quarter
of
a
German
league
from
the
City
,
towards
Moravia
,
are
likewise
three
other
streames
,
and
for
the
most
part
,
large
and
navigeable
armes
of
the
great
River
Danube
;
over
which
are
layd
five
bridges
,
which
for
the
greater
security
of
the
City
,
if
need
require
,
may
be
taken
downe
.
On
the
South
side
of
the
City
there
is
a
little
River
,
or
rather
a
Torrent
,
of
the
name
of
the
City
,
called
Vienna
;
which
riseth
out
of
the
Westerne
mountaines
,
and
is
subject
to
sudden
overflowing
by
raine
and
Land-waters
:
it
drives
some
Mills
,
and
falls
into
the
Danube
,
not
farre
from
the
Towne
ditch
.
Towards
the
South
and
North
,
it
runnes
like
an
arme
of
the
Dannbe
,
and
on
the
West
,
it
leaves
behind
it
the
hills
and
mountaines
looking
towards
the
Vpper
Austria
.
The
City
is
in
compasse
about
halfe
a
German
league
,
and
is
beautified
with
many
faire
and
spacious
places
,
and
markets
,
and
with
other
lesse
,
and
it
hath
some
faire
streets
,
with
many
goodly
and
stately
buildings
,
which
notwithstanding
are
commonly
more
for
shew
than
conveniency
.
For
the
fortification
of
the
City
,
it
will
suffice
in
this
place
briefly
to
declare
,
that
it
is
strengthned
and
fortified
with
sixe
principall
Gates
,
and
ten
great
Bulwarkes
;
The
greatest
part
of
which
Bulwarks
,
and
some
of
them
at
the
expence
of
the
Empire
,
are
built
up
a
good
height
of
Bricke
,
and
filld
within
with
earth
;
and
some
also
towards
the
East
and
South
,
(
whereby
the
City
might
be
the
more
defensible
)
have
good
Casamats
,
well
raised
and
repaired
.
About
ten
yeares
since
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
caused
a
very
great
intire
Bulwarke
to
be
raised
of
earth
,
almost
right
over
against
the
Imperiall
Court
,
or
Archducall
Castle
,
for
the
greater
security
thereof
,
because
the
Castle
heretofore
,
had
beene
in
that
place
but
weakely
fortified
.
Two
yeares
since
,
the
former
Bulwarke
,
which
looketh
towards
the
South
,
and
towards
the
West
,
was
strongly
new
built
.
The
Scottish
Bulwarke
cast
up
of
earth
onely
,
is
now
well
lined
with
a
strong
wall
,
and
made
equall
to
the
rest
of
the
Bulwarkes
.
Towards
the
East
is
a
gate
,
commonly
called
Strubenthor
:
Towards
the
South
,
the
Carnithian
gate
;
and
the
Castle
gate
,
called
,
Burgthor
;
towards
the
West
,
the
South
gate
,
and
the
new
gate
;
towards
the
North
,
the
gate
of
the
red
Tower
,
called
in
Dutch
,
der
Roche
Thum
:
The
Castle
gate
,
the
Carinthian
gate
,
the
New
gate
,
and
the
gate
called
Strubenthor
,
are
the
strongest
,
all
arched
,
very
high
and
stately
,
with
large
passages
;
the
other
two
are
are
onely
Towers
.
To
compasse
the
City
from
the
Gate
called
Strubenthor
,
to
goe
to
the
gate
of
the
red
Tower
,
you
must
passe
first
neare
a
Bulwarke
built
of
Free-stone
,
with
two
high
and
battel'd
Casamats
,
the
higher
of
which
doth
almost
touch
the
Dominicans
Temple
,
the
height
whereof
exceeds
this
Bulwarke
and
Casamats
.
Thence
you
come
to
another
Bulwarke
strongly
covered
with
a
Bricke-wall
,
which
(
as
the
former
)
is
environed
with
reasonable
deepe
ditches
.
From
this
Bulwark
,
on
the
left
side
of
the
towne
,
are
seene
some
little
and
low
double
Walls
,
reaching
to
an
outward
Gate
;
but
on
the
right
hand
,
neare
the
towne
,
doth
runne
the
Danube
,
on
which
is
built
a
bridge
of
wood
,
commonly
called
Schlagbruck
.
This
outward
Gate
leads
to
a
broad
street
,
where
the
City
is
somewhat
naked
:
For
on
the
left
hand
there
are
very
low
Walls
onely
,
and
on
the
right
hand
nothing
but
the
Danube
,
which
one
may
sometimes
ride
over
;
and
some
fortifications
,
which
are
built
on
the
bankes
thereof
,
towards
the
red
Tower
,
and
further
towards
the
other
outward
gate
,
neere
which
the
street
is
narrower
.
From
this
Gate
,
the
City
is
encompassed
on
the
left
hand
,
with
long
strong
high
Walls
,
on
which
these
little
watch-houses
are
built
,
which
reach
to
the
Armory
,
and
thence
to
the
next
Bulwarke
.
It
hath
also
a
draw-bridge
.
The
third
Bulwarke
is
great
and
stately
,
(
but
wants
ditches
and
water
)
and
a
good
part
of
the
middle
of
the
upper
Wall
is
fallen
downe
and
wants
repaire
.
Thence
to
the
New
gate
,
which
hath
broad
but
shallow
ditches
,
without
water
,
Henry
Matthew
,
the
elder
Count
of
Turne
,
in
Anno
1619.
would
have
planted
a
petard
to
this
Gate
,
and
with
his
horse
which
then
lodg'd
at
Ebersdorff
,
attempted
to
take
the
City
.
Thence
to
the
fourth
Bulwark
,
which
likewise
wants
mending
and
repaire
.
From
this
Bulwarke
,
the
Rampire
is
very
high
,
with
a
little
Wall
upon
it
,
towards
the
Scotch
gate
,
and
there
the
Towne-ditch
is
very
deepe
,
but
without
water
.
Thence
the
same
kind
of
Rampire
and
ditch
extends
unto
the
next
fift
Bulwarke
.
This
Bulwarke
was
onely
cast
up
of
earth
,
but
now
of
late
is
built
up
from
the
ground
with
a
Bricke
wall
,
and
is
reduced
to
an
orderly
forme
and
proportion
,
and
by
that
meanes
the
City
is
the
better
fortified
in
that
place
.
The
Bohemian
foote
Regiment
of
Tieffenbach
,
who
were
then
commanded
by
the
said
elder
Count
of
Turne
,
remained
not
farre
from
the
City
in
a
Village
called
Hoernals
,
if
the
designe
had
taken
effect
and
had
not
beene
discovered
by
a
Patriot
,
by
this
Bulwark
should
have
entred
and
taken
the
City
.
This
same
high
Rampire
lined
with
Bricke
walls
,
in
the
ditches
,
at
that
place
very
deepe
,
but
without
water
,
passeth
along
towards
and
behind
the
sixt
Bulwarke
,
over
which
the
present
Governour
of
the
Towne
,
Baron
Lobell
,
hath
caused
a
little
garden
,
with
a
house
of
pleasure
to
be
built
,
according
to
the
bravery
of
the
time
.
And
because
this
Bulwarke
was
lately
renewed
and
better
reformed
than
the
other
,
it
excels
the
rest
in
beauty
.
Behind
,
it
hath
a
Casamat
with
Bricke
walls
,
like
the
former
.
Thence
the
Rampire
with
a
low
,
meane
,
and
in
some
places
but
a
weake
Wall
,
built
thereon
,
extends
it selfe
,
even
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
or
Archducal
Castle
,
where
by
the
raising
of
the
outward
highway
the
ditches
are
made
deeper
.
Thence
to
the
Castle
gate
,
in
Dutch
das
Burgthor
,
where
stands
the
vast
seventh
Bulwarke
of
earth
,
which
behinde
hath
a
lesse
Bulwarke
also
,
like
a
Casamat
,
not
built
high
,
but
compleatly
walled
.
On
this
side
a
Bohemian
souldier
,
under
the
command
of
the
elder
Count
of
Turne
,
did
shoot
some
bullets
,
from
the
suburbs
of
St.
Vbris
,
into
the
Imperiall
Court
or
Archducall
Castle
,
and
even
into
the
great
Chamber
of
the
Knights
and
Nobles
,
and
into
the
Antichamber
;
and
drove
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
then
King
of
Hungary
and
Bohemia
,
out
of
his
owne
Chamber
.
From
thence
the
Rampire
,
with
a
Wall
above
,
and
Fortifications
below
,
extends
it selfe
with
very
deepe
ditches
almost
to
the
Carinthian
gate
;
before
which
is
a
strong
,
great
,
stately
and
faire
Bulwarke
,
all
of
Bricke
,
the
eight
in
number
,
joyning
to
the
Gate
,
behind
which
and
above
the
Gate
,
there
is
a
Casamat
raysed
.
And
over
the
Gate
,
the
Captaine
of
the
City
watch
hath
a
faire
lodging
.
From
this
Carinthian
gate
,
instead
of
the
Rampire
,
are
Bricke
walls
,
almost
of
one
height
with
the
Bulwarkes
,
the
ditches
are
there
of
good
depth
,
but
(
as
the
others
)
without
water
.
Then
followes
the
ninth
,
which
as
the
former
is
a
very
stately
Bulwark
;
with
an
Aquaduct
into
the
towne
,
and
hitherto
the
ditches
are
dry
;
but
about
this
Bulwarke
,
the
Aquaduct
,
which
serves
both
to
bring
in
necessary
water
,
and
in
time
of
need
,
furnish
the
dry
ditches
with
water
,
and
rendereth
them
somewhat
wet
and
marish
,
but
from
the
corner
thereof
and
lower
,
they
are
deeper
,
and
more
fill'd
with
water
.
From
thence
runnes
the
Rampire
,
to
the
tenth
Bulwarke
,
commonly
called
Obere
Stuben
Pastey
,
which
is
most
exquisitely
faire
,
large
,
lofty
,
and
strongly
faced
with
bricke
,
and
the
corners
of
Freestone
,
with
a
magnificent
inscription
in
golden
letters
,
on
tables
of
stone
.
This
Bulwarke
was
built
and
perfected
by
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
first
.
These
three
last
Bulwarks
are
of
one
height
,
and
walled
alike
,
and
each
of
them
have
a
severall
inscription
,
with
golden
letters
,
in
Tables
of
stone
.
Of
these
ten
Bulwarks
of
the
City
,
three
onely
stand
in
water
,
which
is
drawne
from
the
Danube
,
and
some
certaine
veines
which
runne
into
the
City
,
and
all
the
rest
are
dry
.
The
ditches
of
the
City
are
are
very
unequall
and
unlike
.
About
the
City
are
great
and
spacious
suburbs
,
in
which
are
divers
faire
and
pleasant
gardens
,
with
houses
of
pleasure
,
and
store
of
other
considerable
dwellings
,
whereof
many
,
especially
before
the
Castle
gate
called
das
Burgthor
,
and
the
Carinthian
gate
:
towards
St.
Vlrics
,
and
the
little
River
of
Vienna
;
for
about
three
hundred
paces
together
,
as
well
to
enlarge
the
way
and
streets
,
as
for
the
greater
safety
of
the
City
,
were
purposely
demolished
;
and
others
a
few
yeeres
since
were
burnt
by
accident
.
The
garrison
of
this
Towne
consists
at
this
present
of
about
one
thousand
foote
,
in
eight
companies
,
of
which
the
Baron
of
Lobel
Collonell
,
is
Captaine
,
and
one
of
the
Emperours
Councells
of
Warre
,
and
Vice
President
of
that
Counsell
.
About
some
eight
yeeres
since
the
armes
,
which
had
beene
taken
from
the
Citizens
when
Archduke
Leopald
was
Governour
of
the
Citty
in
the
yeare
1619.
were
restored
unto
them
againe
,
the
Citizens
being
for
the
most
part
Protestants
,
and
there
being
a
suspition
conceived
of
some
secret
intelligence
betwixt
them
and
the
Bohemians
,
but
especially
with
the
elder
Count
of
Turne
:
The
Magistrates
fearing
some
attempt
of
the
Protestants
against
the
Roman
Catholicks
,
had
caused
the
Protestants
to
bee
disarmed
.
The
Burgmaster
,
by
the
command
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
as
lawfull
Prince
of
this
Archdutchy
of
Austria
,
heretofore
did
choose
out
and
raise
fower
Companies
of
foote
of
Citizens
,
of
three
hundred
a
peece
.
These
selected
men
have
beene
used
on
urgent
necessities
for
the
defence
of
the
City
,
as
was
lately
practised
in
the
time
of
the
last
Hungarian
seditions
and
rebellions
,
under
the
direction
of
Bethlem
Gabor
Prince
of
Transilvania
.
For
when
part
of
a
garrison
was
sent
to
defend
the
Castle
of
Presbury
,
the
selected
Citizens
were
forced
to
serve
foure
moneths
together
,
for
the
defence
of
the
Towne
.
The
pay
of
the
garrison
is
sixe
florins
a
man
by
the
moneth
,
but
for
want
of
due
payment
they
are
often
seene
to
beg
in
the
streets
.
In
time
of
warre
and
danger
,
some
Cornets
of
horse
use
to
be
taken
into
the
suburbs
;
at
other
times
the
guard
remaines

Some
thinke
that
the
City
of
Vienna
is
so
populous
,
that
it
containes
,
within
and
without
,
some
threescore
thousand
soules
,
but
the
certaine
number
is
hard
to
bee
knowne
.
The
suburbs
on
the
other
side
of
the
Danube
are
inhabited
by
Iewes
,
as
an
Iland
a
part
,
and
in
the
Towne
they
have
a
place
of
commerce
,
where
by
day
they
sell
their
commodities
:
but
it
is
not
lawfull
for
them
to
lie
all
night
in
Towne
.
But
because
they
bring
great
profits
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
and
for
other
causes
and
reasons
,
they
are
not
onely
tollerated
in
this
City
,
but
they
enjoy
many
great
priviledges
and
liberties
.
The
Evangelicall
Lutheran
Religion
,
or
the
confession
of
Augsburg
,
being
heretofore
brought
into
this
City
,
did
afterwards
so
increase
under
the
Emperour
Maximilian
the
second
;
that
the
said
Evangelicks
,
amongst
other
privelidges
,
had
the
exercise
of
their
religion
in
the
City
it selfe
,
even
in
the
Minimes
Temple
,
at
the
Provinciall
House
.
And
although
the
Emperour
Rodolph
the
second
,
and
before
him
Ferdinand
the
first
,
did
resolve
to
their
power
,
to
abolish
the
exercise
of
that
religion
;
and
began
likewise
a
great
reformation
,
and
advanced
the
businesse
so
farre
,
that
under
the
Emperour
Rodolph
the
second
,
the
Evangelicall
state
of
Lower
Austria
lost
the
exercise
of
their
religion
in
the
City
of
Vienna
;
and
it
seemed
as
if
an
universall
deformation
,
and
a
totall
suppression
,
and
extirpation
of
all
the
Evangelicks
,
in
those
Countries
,
would
have
followed
:
Yet
the
Emperour
Matthias
the
first
,
for
divers
great
causes
did
most
graciously
grant
the
Evangelicall
state
of
Lower
Austria
,
the
exercise
of
their
religion
in
the
Village
called
Hoernals
,
about
a
quarter
of
a
German
league
from
the
City
,
and
granted
them
his
high
Imperiall
and
Archducall
Protection
;
notwithstanding
the
Catholickes
,
especially
the
Cleargy
,
(
whom
the
exercise
of
that
religion
did
vehemently
offend
)
perswaded
themselves
,
that
the
sermons
of
Cardinal
Clozel
,
would
have
enduced
the
Emperour
againe
,
to
prohibit
the
exercise
of
the
Evangelicks
at
Hoernals
:
And
that
he
would
not
permit
them
Evangelicall
Matrimony
,
nor
the
administration
of
the
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
,
and
the
Lords
Supper
.
But
when
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
second
tooke
the
raines
of
the
Roman
Empire
,
and
had
taken
the
City
of
Prag
;
a
Priest
did
seriously
inculcate
to
his
Majesty
,
that
whereas
since
the
states
of
the
Evangelicall
Provinces
had
beene
permitted
the
exercise
of
their
religion
in
the
Village
of
Hoernals
,
by
the
Emperour
Matthias
the
first
,
they
had
so
multiplyed
that
in
that
congregation
there
were
sometimes
twenty
,
thirty
,
even
forty
,
or
fifty
thousand
persons
,
and
therefore
hee
earnestly
petitioned
that
the
exercise
of
that
religion
might
be
abolished
by
publike
command
.
And
thereupon
it
came
to
passe
,
that
a
reformation
of
religion
was
direct●d
in
the
City
of
Vienna
,
by
an
Imperiall
Mandate
;
and
the
exercise
of
the
Augustan
confession
in
the
Village
of
Hoernals
(
which
was
afterwards
given
to
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
St.
Steven
in
Vienna
)
was
quite
suppressed
,
upon
a
pretext
that
the
Baron
Helmhardt
Iorger
,
who
was
then
in
prison
at
Lintz
,
had
no
right
of
patrinage
in
that
Village
,
and
all
the
Evangelicall
Preachers
were
forbidden
to
enter
the
City
upon
grievous
punishments
.
But
yet
in
Austria
they
were
suffred
,
for
their
persons
,
as
heretofore
;
and
some
of
the
Citizens
and
inhabitants
had
leave
to
goe
out
of
the
Towne
,
unto
Sermons
and
Sacraments
after
the
Evangelicall
manner
,
at
Intzerrdorff
,
belonging
to
the
Lord
Geyer
of
Osterburg
,
a
Mile
from
the
City
.
But
at
the
last
,
Anno
1627.
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
severely
required
all
Ecclesiasticall
Evangelicks
by
publike
Imperiall
,
and
Archducall
Proclamations
and
Mandates
,
to
void
by
a
certaine
time
,
all
the
Country
of
Austria
and
all
other
his
Imperiall
Majesties
hereditary
Dominions
,
with
prohibition
under
his
highnesse
pleasure
and
unpardonable
punishents
,
never
to
returne
,
or
to
remaine
there
upon
any
termes
.
In
Ecclesiastically
matters
the
City
of
Vienna
,
acknowledgeth
the
Bishop
who
hath
spirituall
jurisdiction
over
all
the
Bishoppricke
of
Vienna
.
And
the
Bishop
hath
his
Officiat
alwaies
in
Vienna
.
The
Cathedrall
Church
,
which
is
dedicated
to
St.
Steven
is
of
a
costly
,
great
,
high
and
large
building
,
set
off
on
one
side
,
with
a
very
high
spired
and
excellent
faire
steeple
,
in
which
there
is
a
very
great
and
goodly
Bell.
A
like
steeple
was
on
the
other
side
begun
and
brought
to
some
perfection
,
but
was
never
finished
;
this
(
they
say
)
the
Bishop
will
perfect
,
and
make
it
answerable
to
the
other
,
and
it
is
thought
that
in
foure
yeares
space
it
may
be
finished
.
The
present
Bishop
hath
likewise
caused
all
the
old
Bishops
house
to
be
pul'd
downe
,
and
is
building
a
large
magnificent
Pallace
in
the
place
,
to
which
purpose
hee
hath
obtained
of
the
Emperour
,
a
hundred
thousand
Rixdollers
,
which
was
the
price
of
the
Duke
of
Meckelburgs
reconciliation
.
This
Church
was
raised
to
a
Cathedrall
by
Pope
Paul
the
second
,
at
the
mediation
of
the
Emperour
Fredericke
the
third
.
The
Bishops
revenew
amounts
but
to
8000.
florins
;
which
is
but
1200
pounds
sterling
.
The
present
Bishops
name
is
Antony
,
who
hath
gained
the
Title
of
Prince
from
the
Emperour
:
And
hee
holds
besipes
the
Bishoppricke
,
the
wealthy
Abby
of
Crembsmunster
,
of
St.
Bennets
Order
in
Upper
Austria
.
He
is
also
a
Privy
Councellour
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
and
the
first
of
the
Counsell
.
His
predecessour
was
Cardinall
Clozel
,
who
dyed
at
Vienna
,
in
the
yeare
1630.
There
are
sixteene
Cannons
of
this
Cathedrall
,
but
by
reason
of
the
small
revenue
of
the
Church
,
their
stipends
are
but
slender
.
They
all
dwell
about
the
Cathedrall
.
There
are
also
divers
other
Churches
and
Cloysters
within
and
without
this
City
.
The
Emperour
Fredericke
the
second
founded
the
University
at
Vienna
,
in
the
yeare
1237.
and
indued
it
with
very
great
priviledges
and
immunities
,
which
were
afterwards
renewed
,
and
amplified
by
Albert
the
third
of
Austria
.
This
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
second
,
about
the
yeare
1622.
gave
this
Academy
to
the
Iesuits
,
with
the
adjoyning
and
appendant
Burses
and
Colledges
or
Convents
,
where
now
they
teach
and
breed
their
schollers
.
His
Majesty
also
granted
them
the
liberty
of
prefessing
Theology
and
Philosophy
,
but
upon
condition
that
the
chaire
should
be
free
for
any
of
the
Dominicans
,
Franciscans
,
or
Minimes
to
professe
or
dispute
.
The
Lawyers
and
Phisicians
continue
their
ancient
combination
,
and
every
sixe
moneths
,
they
choose
a
new
Rector
.
When
they
thinke
fit
to
call
a
Counsell
for
the
good
of
themselves
,
or
any
other
of
the
united
persons
of
the
University
;
it
is
chosen
,
and
consists
of
sixteene
of
those
faculties
.
The
Rector
of
the
University
hath
jurisdiction
over
all
the
persons
and
members
of
the
Vniversity
.
The
civil
government
of
the
City
is
ordered
by
the
Senate
,
which
consists
of
eighteene
Citizens
and
Senators
,
to
whom
all
businesses
are
propounded
,
concerning
the
particular
or
common
good
of
the
Citizens
or
City
,
and
by
them
they
are
deliberated
.
The
chiefe
of
these
is
the
Burgmaster
.
In
criminall
matters
,
the
Burgmaster
hath
his
Assessors
and
Assistants
.
But
the
civill
government
is
not
absolutely
in
the
Senate
,
but
doth
depend
on
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Lower
Austria
.
And
at
all
Colledges
,
and
consultations
of
the
Senators
,
an
Imperiall
Minister
is
alwaies
present
in
person
.
The
Office
of
Lieutenant
is
now
exercised
by
Baron
Sigfrid
Christopher
Preunez
,
one
of
his
Imperiall
Majesties
Privy
Counsell
,
and
president
of
the
government
of
Lower
Austria
,
who
hath
chiefe
cognizans
in
matters
which
concerne
the
Cities
,
and
civill
government
;
and
in
the
absence
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
the
government
is
solely
in
him
.
The
Arsenall
of
Vienna
is
compleatly
furnished
,
not
onely
with
ships
and
Vessels
usefull
for

;
but
also
with
Armes
,
all

,
and
with

because
his
Father
brought
him
to
the
Imperiall
Court
when
he
was
yong
and
he
hath
long
performed
his
office
well
,
he
is
now
esteemed
a
German

The
Court
of
Caesar
,
or
the
Archducall
Castle
;
in
Dutch
das
Burg
;
hath
no
singular
splendor
or
magnificens
,
and
is
somewhat
straight
for
so
great
a
Prince
and
stately

Court.
It
containes
in
it
a
great
Court
,
on

side
whereof
,
is

And
on

and
other
things
of
curious
workemanship
,
and
with
many
rare
pieces
of
nature
and

,
worth
many
millions

Amongst
other
things
,
which
are
most
worthy
of
note
,
is
the
Imperiall
Crowne
and
Scepter
,
and
the
Imperiall
Globe
;
most
richly
adorned
with
gold
,
and
rich

Vnicornes
Horne
of
twelve

long
of
which
two

the

inestimable

,
are
not

in
the
whole

To
this

the
Emperour
himselfe
doth

,
there

as
well
in

Of
the
person
of
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
second
,
and
of
his
Imperiall
vertues
and
qualities
,
his
devotion
and
piety
,
his
workes
of
humiliation
,
and
of
his

of
businesse
,
recreations
and

.
THe

,
was

Carinthia
,
and

But
when

Vienna
,
and
that

Archduke
of
Infbruck
,
were
both
failed
.
And
that
the

Albert
,
who

in
the
Low-countriess
,
was
growne
old
and
weake
,
and
had
reteined
the

of
the
Austria●
Provinces
;
His
Imperiall
Majesty
,
partly
by
succession
,
and
partly
by
agreement
and
consent
,
(
but
chiefly
,
by
his
being
chosen
and
Crowned
King
of
Bohemia
and
Hungary
,
which
was
a
strong
foundation
of
his
future
greatnesse
)
obtained

of
all
those
Provinces
.
And
after
this
on
the

(
the
Emperour
Matthias
the
first
being
dead
,
)
he
was
elected
and
crowned
Emperour
at
Francfurt
on
the

;
At
which

Now
for

Before

a
Sermon
in
Dutch
of
one
of
the
Iesuits
,
who
is
the
ordinary
preacher
of
the
Court
,
of
about
an
houre
long
.
The
Sermon
ended
,
high
Masse
is
celebrated
with
great
devotion
,
and
most
sweet
Musicke
,
which
lasts
at
least
an
houre
.
After
dinner
he
did
use
to
heare
an
Italian
Sermon
by
the
ordinary
Court
Italian
Preacher
,
and
after
that
the
vespers
,
which
are
sung
with
great
solemnity
.
And
in
this
manner
his
Imperiall
Majesty
spent
almost
the
whole
Sunday
or
holiday
.
And
sometimes
he
did
visit
other
Churches
,
both
within
&
without
the
City
;
as
the
Dominicans
the
Capuchins
,
the
Iesuits
,
or
the
Carmelites
,
and
in
these
Colledges
and
Convents
he
sometimes
did
dine
.
In
the
time
of
Advent
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
did
commonly
rise
very
early
,
to
frequent
certaine
Mattins
,
like
singing
Masses
,
called
Rorate
;
because
at
his
entry
is
sung
the
said
Rorate
coeli
,
which
is
followed
with
Musicke
of
instruments
and
voices
,
almost
an
houres
space
,
which
time
the
people
imploy
in
their
prayers
and
devotions
.
The
same
Office
is
likewise
solemnely
celebrated
with
great
concourse
in
all
the
Churches
.
During
the
time
of
Lent
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
was
most
diligently
wont
to
heare
Sermons
,
in
his
Court
chappell
,
and
in
the
Augustines
Church
which
is
neare
the
Castle
;
and
on
Holidaies
in
the
Chappell
of
the
Minimes
,
especially
in
the
time
of
the
penitentiall
processions
;
and
every
day
in
Lent
are
sung
the
Vespers
at
large
in
the
Imperiall
Oratory
.
On
Maundy
thursday
before
noone
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
publikely
,
and
before
all
there
present
,
did
wash
the
feet
of
thirty
poore
men
,
then
feede
them
and
serve
them
in
his
owne
person
,
at
table
.
After
he
gave
to
every
one
a
gowne
,
and
a
piece
of
gold
of
the
valew
of
a
double
Hungarian
ducat
.
At
the
same
day
and
time
,
in
another
place
apart
,
the
Empresse
performes
the
same
,
out
of
humility
,
to
thirty
poore
women
.
The
last
Sunday
before
Easter
his
Imperiall
Majesty
was
wont
to
visit
all
the
Churches
of
the
Towne
on
foot
after
the
Catholicke
Roman
manner
,
and
to
pray
before
the
Tombes
erected
in
them
.
This
last
yeare
a
coach
did
ease
his
feet
of
that
pennance
.
During
the
weeke
of
holy
Crosse
,
beginning
from
Sunday
to
the
feast
of
the
Ascension
of
Christ
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
was
used
to
be
at
the
accustomed
Processions
,
at
which
this
yeare
his
weakenesse
hath
not
suffered
him
to
be
present
.
On
Corpus
Christi
day
,
when
the
great
Procession
is
celebrated
,
his
Imperall
Majesty
did
use
to
assist
with
all
the
Court
on
foot
,
bare
headed
,
and
to
pray
on
bended
knees
at
all
the
altars
by
the
way
.
And
the
sunday
following
,
he
was
used
to
attend
the
Procession
of
the
Iesuits
:
and
the
next
sunday
to
bee
present
with
great
devotion
at
the
generall
Procession
,
which
is
very
populous
,
and
continues
from
morning
untill
noone
.
For
this
cause
the
Popes
Nuncio
Cardinall
Palatto
in
his
relation
made
to
Pope
Vrban
the
eight
;
doth
testifie
(
to
the
great
commendation
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
)
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
second
may
well
be
stiled
a
holy
Prince
,
a
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
,
as
was
King
David
,
and
that
for
the
candor
of
his
conscience
,
and
his
firme
faith
in
God
,
the
protection
of
the
Almighty
hath
beene
so
constant
,
on
his
Imperiall
person
,
that
as
the
Lords
annoynted
he
never
hath
or
could
be
oppressed
,
or
hurt
by
any
.
As
plainely
appeareth
by
his
Imperiall
magnanimity
,
in
the
very
beginning
of
his
raigne
,
and
some
following
yeeres
after
,
when
the
three
Regal
Offices
and
Counsellors
of
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
being
throwne
out
of
the
window
at
Prag
,
in
the
yeare
1618.
the
25.
of
May
(
the
Emperour
Matthas
the
first
being
yet
alive
)
all
his
hereditary
Provinces
and
Countreys
were
destroyed
with
fire
and
sword
,
and
his
sacred
person
(
as
it
were
)
in
the
midst
of
his
enemies
,
having
nothing
remaining
,
but
onely
the
City
of
Vienna
,
it
was
not
possible
to
force
him
from
his
Residence
,
but
on
the
contrary
hee
was
alwaies
most
miraculously
preserved
by
God
.
The
same
Nuncio
reports
also
,
that
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
hath
said
,
in
greatest
dangers
;
that
the
divine
providence
had
abundantly
manifested
its
strength
and
power
in
his
sacred
person
,
above
the
reach
and
understanding
of
man
.
And
for
matters
of
religion
or
conscience
,
when
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
did
depute
a
Counsellour
or
Commissioner
to
that
end
,
he
did
not
precipitate
a
ratification
,
but
first
remit
all
to
his
Confessour
,
who
is
most
acute
and
prudent
father
,
whose
counsell
and
a
judgement
his
Imperiall
Majesty
(
as
the
sheep
his
sheepheard
)
did
constantly
follow
with
a
willing
and
ready
mind
and
heart
;
and
to
cleare
himselfe
from
all
scruples
of
conscience
,
he
did
referre
unto
him
all
,
even
the
least
things
.
On
other
daies
,
(
except
the
Lords
day
)
having
heard
two
Masses
and
dispatched
his
private
consultations
,
for
every
day
,
or
at
least
every
other
day
,
hee
did
hold
a
Counsell
,
unlesse
there
were
something
of
greater
moment
to
dispatch
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
used
to
goe
out
of
towne
to
take
the
aire
,
or
to
hunt
(
in
which
kinde
of
exercise
he
did
most
delight
)
and
commonly
returned
not
till
night
:
whence
the
proverb
grew
,
that
his
Imperiall
Majesty
in
three
things
was
indefatigable
;
to
wit
,
In
devotion
,
in
counsell
,
and
in
hunting
.
And
although
sometimes
he
did
returne
somewhat
late
and
tired
from
hunting
;
yet
did
hee
never
refuse
or
forbeare
to
signe
with
his
owne
hand
forty
,
fifty
;
or
threescore
or
more
severall
things
at
one
time
,
concerning
the
businesse
of
the
Empire
,
and
other
matters
,
and
without
the
least
shew
of
displeasure
or
impatience
;
and
then
hee
did
sit
downe
to
meate
.
So
that
his
Imperiall
Majesty
did
never
returne
from
counsell
,
from
hunting
,
or
from
audience
(
as
they
terme
it
,
)
without
prescribing
or
signing
somewhat
,
or
reading
memorials
,
or
being
otherwise
imployed
.
And
forasmuch
as
his
Imperiall
Majesty
by
reason
of
the
many
businesses
of
the
Empire
,
and
others
of
great
consequence
,
could
not
himselfe
read
the
least
part
of
them
;
if
there
was
any
thing
presented
to
himselfe
,
or
to
the
master
of
his
chamber
,
hee
did
command
it
to
be
sent
by
a
waiter
or
huisher
of
the
chamber
unto
the
Counsell
proper
for
the
businesse
,
that
it
might
be
speedily
dispatched
.
His
Imperiall
Majesty
was
most
of
all
delighted
in
hunting
(
as
is
said
)
and
in
Musicke
;
and
did
keepe
all
kind
of
dogges
,
and
strange
birds
,
for
hunting
and
hawking
.
Of
Huntsmen
and
Falcners
,
hee
had
about
150.
But
besides
these
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
in
all
his
hereditary
Kingdomes
,
and
Provinces
,
had
a
chiefe
Huntsman
with
divers
others
,
and
dogges
without
number
.
He
did
use
a
piece
very
skilfully
;
but
his
chiefest
pleasure
was
to
moose
his
game
,
and
with
his
owne
hand
to
kill
wild
boares
,
which
he
afterwards
sent
for
presents
of
honour
to
forraine
Ambassadours
and
Agents
,
and
to
the
officers
of
the
Court.
And
he
was
wont
to
keepe
a
catalogue
of
the
annuall
number
of
the
Deere
he
killed
,
and
sent
to
the
Electour
of
Saxony
.
His
Imperiall
Majesty
was
likewise
very
curious
to
get
exquisite
Musitians
,
and
to
these
two
kinds
of
men
,
Musitians
and
Huntsmen
,
he
did
give
very
liberally
,
and
spend
much
money
on
them
.
Musicke
,
he
said
,
is
profitable
,
and
fit
for
the
praise
and
honour
of
the
Almighty
;
and
to
make
the
heart
of
man
merry
.
His
Imperiall
Majesty
did
ordinarily
dine
in
his
Antichamber
,
but
most
commonly
sup
with
the
Empresse
.
Two
yeares
since
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
with
the
Empresse
,
King
and
Queene
of
Hungary
,
and
the
Archduke
and
Archdutchesse
,
on
solemne
and
great
feasts
,
(
as
at
Christinas
,
Easter
,
and
Whitsontide
,
)
used
to
eat
in
publike
in
the
Chamber
of
the
Knights
and
Nobles
,
before
a
great
multitude
;
where
there
was
commonly
most
exquisite
Musicke
of
Instruments
.
The
Emperours
Table
is
usually
attended
by
the
Ordinaries
of
the
chamber
,
Sewers
,
Cupbearers
,
and
such
like
Officers
,
and
sometimes
also
by
Princes
,
Earles
,
and
Barrons
of
the
Empire
,
who
having
waited
about
an
houres
space
,
withdraw
themselves
.
For
no
Prince
is
admitted
to
fit
at
the
Emperours
table
in
his
Court
at
Vienna
;
but
elsewhere
,
and
in
the
Country
,
hee
sometimes
,
though
seldome
at
his
residence
,
causeth
some
to
sit
at
table
with
him
,
according
as
they
are
great
and
eminent
either
by
their
birth
and
quality
,
or
in
his
grace
and
favour
.
It
is
worth
the
observing
,
that
Christian
the
elder
Prince
of
Anhalt
,
being
reconciled
to
the
Emperour
,
presented
the
towell
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
after
washing
,
and
after
waited
bareheaded
;
but
when
he
had
received
his
investiture
and
feudalities
from
the
Emperour
,
and
stood
likewise
bareheaded
before
the
Imperiall
table
;
the
Emperour
considering
it
,
would
not
admit
thereof
;
and
thereupon
by
the
chiefe
Marshall
of
his
Court
,
(
which
then
was
the
Earle
of
Lozenstein
,
)
commanded
him
to
put
on
his
hat
,
which
he
did
;
and
withall
to
sit
at
the
table
with
him
,
which
he
did
also
in
the
Castle
of
Vienna
.
When
his
Imperiall
Majesty
sits
at
the
table
with
the
Empresse
,
in
stead
of
Noblemen
,
Knights
,
and
Gentlemen
,
the
Imperiall
Ladies
and
maids
of
the
Empresse
serve
at
the
table
,
and
then
there
is
most
exquisite
Musicke
;
otherwise
there
is
no
musicke
at
dinner
,
unlesse
it
be
on
festivall
and
holydaies
.
The
meates
which
are
served
on
the
Imperiall
board
,
are
neither
costly
nor
dainty
,
nor
any
way
superfluous
in
splendor
or
magnificence
,
for
so
great
a
Prince
.
According
to
the
time
and
occasion
there
are
Iesters
,
which
make
sport
and
tell
merry
tales
.
Amongst
these
Ionas
is
the
prime
for
sudden
jests
,
but
they
are
never
so
free
as
when
the
Emperour
is
abroad
,
or
hunting
.

CHAP.

Of
the
Imperiall
antichamber
,
and
of
the
Knights
and
Nobles
chamber
,
&c.
and
what
is

done
there

In

and
put
in
mind
of
the
necessity
and
importance
of
the
businesse
,
which
his
Imperiall
Majesty
most
graciously
receives
,
and
gives
eare
unto
every
ones
petition
,
although
sometimes
it
be
very
long
with
great
patience
and
equanimity
,
without
displeasure
or
anger
.
When
his
Imperiall
Majesty
sees
any

Knight
of
speciall
qualities
,
or
any
who
is
lately
returned
to
the

he
gives

his

He
willingly
heares

made
unto

and
most
graciously
answereth
them
,
and
sometimes
of

hee
moves

askes
some
gentle

pleasing

He
receives
all

and
memorials
with
his

,
and
carries
them
with
him
into
his
owne
chamber
,
and
never
gives

,
untill

come
thither
.
He
usually
speaketh
German

Italian
,
and
sometimes
also
Latine
,
and
that
very
readily
and
correctly
;
but
never
speakes

no
not

Of
the
yearely
revenewes
of
the
Kingdomes
,
and
hereditary
Provinces
of
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
.
IT
is
difficult
to
speake
certainely
of
the
yearely
revenewes
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
out
of
his
Kingdomes
and
hereditary
Provinces
;
because
those
Countries
,
aswell
by
reason
of
the
ordinary
and
extraordinary
contributions
,
as
for
other
causes
are
changed
much
from
the
ancient
state
,
and
are
very
uncertaine
.
His
Imperiall
Majesty
hath
a
very
great
revenew
,
from
the
Hungarian
mines
of
gold
and
silver
,
but
doth
expend
it
all
,
and
much
more
in
preserving
the
places
bordering
on
the
Turke
.
The
Duke
of
Bavaria
hath
long
possessed
the
Vpper
Austria
,
for
twelve
millions
of
florins
payd
at
Ratisbone
,
in
the
yeare
1622.
and
still
by
that
agreement
it
remaineth
ingaged
unto
him
.
And
this
at
the
present
is
much
depopulated
in
divers
places
by
the
insurrections
of
the
boores
.
The
Marquisate
of
Vpper
and
Lower
Lusatia
in
the
yeare
1636.
was
granted
to
the
Electour
of
Saxony
,
for
some
millions
in
hereditary
propriety
.
The
revenew
of
Bohemia
and
Moravia
,
besides
the
ordinary
and
extraordinary
contributions
and
other
impositions
,
some
few
yeares
since
,
amounted
about
some
three
millions
yearely
.
The
revenew
of
Silesia
hath
beene
uncertaine
of
late
yeares
,
but
the
yearely
impost
on
Beere
onely
,
is
farre
above
two
hundred
thousand
florins
.
But
the
revenewes
of
Lower
Austria
,
Stiria
,
Carinthia
,
Carniola
,
&c.
are
of
all
others
the
most
certaine
,
safe
and
ordinary
,
and
these
according
to
report
,
amount
unto
about
two
millions
of
florins
.
The
faithfull
subjects
also
of
his
Imperiall
Majesties
dominions
,
doe
yearely
send
to
the
Imperiall
Court
some
hundred
thousand
florins
.
The
provinciall
Dyets
doe
likewise
helpe
him
to
much
money
.
And
besides
all
these
,
the
goods
which
were
confiscated
by
reason
of
the
many
rebellions
in
Bohemia
and
Moravia
,
and
in
the
Vpper
Austria
,
and
somewhat
in
the
Lower
,
have
brought
above
three
and
forty
millions
of
florins
to
the
Imperiall
Treasury
,
since
the
yeare
1618.

Neere

yet
will
be

in
nothing
which

His

(
in

)
are
fit

Vadislaus
the

but
,
they
say
,
the
marriage
was
hindred
by
the
States
of
Poland
,
and
by
the
Kings
Counsellors
;
shee
was
afterwards
intended
for
the
Cardinall
Infant
,
the
onely
sonne
also
of
the
Prince
Palatine
of
Newburg
:
Albert
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
as
also
Bethlem
Gabor
Prince
of
Transilvania
by
the
example
of
Sigismund
Bather
desired
to
have
married
her
;
to
which
effect
the
Transilvanian
sent
his
Ambassadours
to
his
sacred
Imperiall
Majesty
at
Newstat

at

godly

but
speakes
her
Mother
tongue
onely
German
,
and
although
she
understand
Italian
,
she
speakes
it
not
.
The
common
opinion
and
conjecture
is
,
she
shall
be
married
to
the
Cardinall
Infant
.
These
two
Imperiall
Princesses
are
of
a
perfect
proportion
and

;
a
grave
man
,
stately
,
and
now
aged
,
who
heretofore
under
the
Emperour
Matthias
was
high
Chamberlaine
.
The
high
Marshall
of
the
Court
is
a
great
and
profitable
office
of
authority
and
reputation
,
whose
jurisdiction
extends
it selfe
not
onely
over
all
the
Courtiers
,
Officers
,
and
others
belonging
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
but
also
over
foraigne
Agents
,
Residents
,
Ambassadours
,
and
Deputies
;
solliciting

Court
:
and
over
all
that
have
any
imployment
at

,
workemen
,
Iewes
,
and
such
like
.
His
office
also
is
to
assigne
lodgings
to
every
one
according
to

:
when
the
Emperour
removes
his

elsewhere
,
except
at
the
Electorall
and
Imperiall
Dyets
,
for
there
the
hereditary
Marshall
of
the
Empire
doth
exercise
his
jurisdiction
.
The
said
Court
Marshall
hath
his
Quartermaster
,
and
other
inferiour
harbingers
(
commonly
called
Furriers
)
under
him
;
who
have
the
charge
of
billetting
and
lodgings
.
And
his
Imperiall
Majesty
being
absent
,
the
chiefe
Marshall
of
the
Court
is
his
Vicegerent
.
Vnder
the
jurisdiction
of
the
high
Chamberlaine
,
are
those
of
the

,
and
all
others

Kings
Ambassadours
,
and
other
Princes
,
Lords
,
and
Knights
,
unto
their

with
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
He
receives
all
letters
of
credence
from
all
Agents
and
Soliciters
,
as
well
of
forraigne
Princes
,
as
of
those
of
the
Empire
,
and
all
others
sent
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
directed
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
and
signifies
the
prefixed
time
of
their
audience
by
a
huisher
of
the
Chamber
.
He
often
watcheth
whole
nights
himselfe
before
the
Imperiall
Chamber
,
he
weares
a
guilt
key
of
the
chamber
,
as
doe
the
rest
of
the

,
tyed
to
a
blacke
silke
string
,
which
is
a
signe
they
are
of
the
Chamber
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
Those
of
the
Chamber
receive
themselves
the
golden
key
from
the
high
Chamberlaine
,
and
going
from
Court
,
they
are
bound
to
deliver
it
up
to
him
againe
;
and
returning
backe
to
the
Imperiall
Court
they
receive
it
againe
,
and
weare
it
as
before
.
Their
monthly
stipend
is
forty
florins
(
six
pound
sterling
)
with
their
dyet
at
Court
,
as
also
have
the
other
twelve
of
the
Chamber
in
ordinary
.
There
are
divers
others
also
of
the
Chamber
,
who
receive
neither
wages
nor
dyet
,
nor
ought
else
,
except
the
guilt
key
,
with
the
title
and
honour
.
Two
of
the
twelve
of
the
Camber
in
ordinary
,
every
weeke
by
turnes
lie
and
watch
all
night
before
the
Imperiall
Chamber
.
When
the
Emperour
eates
in
the
antichamber
,
they
take
the
assay
of
the
meate
,
which
is
served
thither
.
If
any
one
be
to
be
made
of
the
Chamber
,
he
must
take
an
oath
of
his
allegiance
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
before
the
high
Chamberlaine
,
and
give
security
.
In
the
absence
of
the
high
Chamberlaine
,
the
eldest
of
the
Chamber
supplies
his
Office
.
When
his
Imperiall
Majesty
sits
publikely
at
table
,
the
Sewers
,
which
are
truely
Nobles
and
of
ancient
families
(
some
of
them
being
Barons
and
Earles
)
serve
and
waite
at
Table
,
and
so
doe
the
Cupbearers
and
Pantlers
,
and
over
them
all
is
a
certaine
Officer
(
commonly
called
Obrister
Staebel
meyster
)
who
is
otherwise
one
of
the
Chamber
,
who
bearing
a
blacke
staffe
,
ushers
the
dishes
which
are
brought
to
the
Imperiall
table
;
neither
hath
hee
any
certaine
wages
,
besides
his
dyet
at
Court
.
Hee
useth
alwaies
to
attend
his
Imperiall
Majesty
in
travelling
,
and
hath
a
horse
,
or
a
coach
roome
appointed
for
him
.
Of
these
and
the
like
Nobles
and
Courtiers
,
there
are
about
threescore
which
have
onely
their
dyet
and
accommodation
,
as
they
call
it
,
in
travelling
;
and
who
remaine
in
Court
in
hope
of
some
better
preferment
,
which
they
seldome
or
never
expect
in
vaine
,
unlesse
sometimes
their
fortune
be
slow
and
too
long
comming
.
His
Imperiall
Majesty
hath
also
some
servants
of
the
Chamber
,
who
are
by
their
places
to
hearken
after
common
discourses
and
rumours
,
and
these
use
to
make
relations
of
what
they
conceive
will
prove
acceptable
.
They
are
honoured
with
Nobility
and
have
their
dyet
at
Court
,
and
have
also
horses
or
coach
roome
for
travell
allowed
,
and
sixteene
florins
wages
by
the
month
.
And
as
his
Majesties
Imperiall
liberality
and
innate
bounty
towards
his
faithfull
Servants
and
Courtiers
is
inexhaustible
:
so
he
doth
sometimes
according
to
the
quality
of
the
service
,
reward
them
very
liberally
,
besides
their
ordinary
wages
,
that
afterwards
they
may
more
patiently
expect
,
untill
God
shall
further
favour
them
;
remembring
(
as
it
were
)
that
the
rich
man
who
entertained
his
servants
alwaies
with
that
comfort
,
to
reward
them
largely
after
his
death
,
was
admonished
by
this
inscription
:
Give
thine
whilst
it
is
thine
,
which
after
death
is
none
of
thine
.
Whereupon
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
about
two
yeares
since
said
to
the
Iesuits
,
be
taking
Fathers
,
you
shall
not
have
alwaies
with
you
Ferdinand
the
second
.
There
are
likewise
hiushers
of
the
chamber
,
who
wait
at
the
doore
of
the
Antichamber
,
and
suffer
none
but
those
who
are
allowed
to
enter
there
,
these
have
a
monthly
stipend
of
twelve
florins
.
The
great
master
of
the
Horse
hath
authority
and
command
over
all
that
belong
to
the
Stables
.
He
helpes
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
when
he
gets
on
horseback
.
When
he
rides
out
of
Towne
,
he
sits
in
the
Imperiall
Coach
with
his
head
covered
.
But
when
he
goes
to
Church
,
he
goes
on
foot
on
the
left
hand
of
the
Coach
,
also
his
head
covered
.
The
expence
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
for
the
Stables
,
is
great
;
for
hee
keepes
some
hundreds
of
horses
,
of
which
many
are
spoyled
by
hunting
:
and
besides
these
in
his
hereditary
Provinces
,
he
hath
many
and
stately
Stables
.
Part
of
the
Pages
of
honour
are
Germans
,
part
Italians
,
and
Belgians
,
seldom
of
other
Nations
.
They
are
brought
up
in
study
and
the
exercise
of
the
body
,
and
are
afterwards
preferred
to
the
offices
of
Sewers
,
Cupbearers
,
or
the
like
,
as
also
some
to
more
eminent
offices
,
as
their
qualities
deserve
.
They
hold
the
torches
in
the
Churches
or
Chappels
behind
the
Priests
,
while
Masse
is
celebrated
;
their
livery
is
of
three
collours
,
yellow
,
blacke
,
and
white
.
Of
the
Guards
,
some
are
horsemen
or
lanciers
,
(
commonly
called
Hartshterer
)
and
of
them
there
are
one
hundred
,
in
the
time
of
the
former
Emperours
they
were
nobly
descended
,
some
also
of
late
have
beene
of
noble
Familes
,
and
others
expert
and
approved
souldiers
aginst
the
Turke
,
the
common
enemy
of
Christendome
,
in
the
warres
of
Hungary
;
but
at
this
day
the
greatest
part
are
of
meane
condition
.
In
Towne
they
waite
on
foote
,
bearing
their
Lances
,
but
out
of
Towne
as
horsemen
,
they
are
cloathed
as
Pages
with
a
livery
of
three
colours
.
The
Guards
on
foote
(
commonly
called
Trabauten
)
are
in
number
one
hundred
also
.
These
waite
onely
in
Towne
with
their
halberds
,
and
are
,
for
the
most
part
,
tradesmen
and
mechaniques
:
their
coates
and
cloaths
are
likewise
of
three
colours
.
The
sixe
Court-chaplaines
or
Deacons
are
all
Priests
,
every
morning
they
sing
Masse
,
and
in
their
turnes
by
weekes
they
say
grace
before
the
Imperiall
Table
,
they
are
little
esteemed
,
they
have
every
one
their
dyet
at
Court
,
and
three
hundred
florins
(
or
45.
pound
sterling
)
wages
yearely
;
and
one
of
them
who
is
the
chiefe
Parochus
,
hath
foure
hundred
florins
,
besides
which
they
usually
enjoy
some
other
Ecclesiasticall
benefices
,
whereby
they
may
the
better
provide
for
their
necessaries
.
The
Emperours
Confessour
is
Father
Laimormain
,
of

order
of
the
Jesuits
,
by
Nation
a
Flemming
or
Walloone

and
an
old
man

He
hath
the
greatest
authority
in

Of
the
severall
Imperiall
Court
Counsels
,
as
of
the
Cabinet
Counsell
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
,
the
Chamber
Court
Counsell
,
Millitary
Counsell
,
Ecclesiasticall
Counsell
,
Counsell
of
conscience
,
Hungarian
Counsell
,
Bohemian
Counsell
,
and
confiscation
Counsell
.
THe
Privy
Councellours
of
the
Cabinet
,
excell
the
other
Counsellours
in
dignity
,
for
they
are
imployed
in
consultation
of
States
matters
,
concerning
the
peace
and
warre
of
the
Emperours
hereditary
Kingdomes
and
Dominions
,
and
the
petitions
and
Commands
of
forraigne
Kings
and
Princes
.
To
these
also
belong
all
matters
of
the
Chambers
,
and
whatsoever
is
first
debated
and
deliberated
by
other
Counsels
,
and
concluded
by
votes
,
and
referred
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
And
also
,
what
other
Counsels
have
before
decided
,
the
Cabinet
Counsell
afterwards
sometimes
changeth
or
otherwise
disposeth
of
,
and
from
thence
is
the
Imperiall
restitution
to
be
expected
in
all
things
.
In
matters
of
the
Empire
,
the
judgement
and
sentence
of
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
,
grounded
on
strong
and
firme
reasons
,
is
seldome
rejected
or
changed
by
the
Cabinet
Counsell
.
And
hence
it
appeares
that
all
things
first
come
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
before
their
dispatch
;
except
small
matters
,
which
may
of
course
be
granted
by
the
President
of
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
,
or
Vice
Chancellor
of
the
Empire
.
All
matters
of
grace
,
of
what
nature
soever
they
bee
,
are
presented
to
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
with
all
humblenesse
,
and
presently
they
passe
and
belong
unto
the
Imperiall
Cabinet
Counsell
;
yet
sometimes
his
Imperiall
Majesty
causeth
them
to
be
referred
to
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
,
that
he
may
understand
their
reformation
and
judgement
,
before
he
gives
his
owne
gracious
judgement
thereupon
.
About
two
yeares
since
the
Prince
of
Eggenberg
had
the
direction
of
this
Cabinet
Counsell
,
and
was
absolute
Patron
of
Caesars
will
,
so
that
they
then
had
but
one
heart
&
one
way
;
as
the
Prince
of
Eggenberg
within
the
Court
had
all
the
power
,
so
the
Duke
of
Frisland
did
sway
in
the
warres
.
And
although
he
kept
his
bed
almost
continually
by
reason
of
the
gout
and
collicke
,
with
which
he
was
much
afflicted
,
and
although
his
house
was
a
good
distance
from
the
Imperiall
Court
,
yet
his
Imperiall
Majesty
appointed
his
Cabinet
Counsell
to
bee
alwaies
assembled
there
,
and
himselfe
past
to
his
house
from
the
Archducall
Castle
,
or
Imperiall
Court
through
a
long
Gallery
,
and
assisted
in
his
owne
person
at
the
consultations
.
Neither
did
he
onely
visit
him
at
times
of
Counsell
,
but
other
times
also
daily
,
and
sometimes
often
in
one
day
.
And
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
and
the
Empresse
did
often
use
to
play
and
sport
themselves
in
his
house
.
This
Prnce
was
of
an
admirable
judgement
,
a
quicke
understanding
,
a
great
capacity
and
eloquence
,
and
framed
by
nature
to
a
most
comely
shape
,
a
bigot
in
religion
,
dissembling
,
most
happy
in
advising
and
resolving
counsells
;
and
on
that
knew
how
to
satisfie
his
Imperiall
Majesty
in
all
things
.
The
Emperour
had
mightily
inriched
him
,
and
made
him
very
great
,
as
may
in
part
appeare
by
the
titles
which
he
enioyed
whilst
hee
lived
.
It
was
then
a
Proverbe
,
that
the
Emperour
had
three
mighty
hills
;
to
wit
,
Eggenberg
,
Werdenburg
,
and
Questenberg
:
and
three
precious
stones
Dietrichstein
,
Walstein
and
Liechenstein
in
his
hereditary
Kingdomes
and
Provinces
;
for
that
those
Families
had
attracted
and
appropriated
to
themselves
a
great
part
of
the
best
and
fairest
dominions
in
the
hereditary
Provinces
of
his
Imperall
Majesty
.
But
as
this
Prince
of
Eggenberg
hath
still
enjoyed
the
constant
grace
of
the
Emperour
,
the
favour
of
all
the
house
of
Austria
,
the
esteeme
and
praise
of
all
the
Imperiall
Court
,
and
a
generall
respect
and
honour
of
all
the
Country
and
Empire
:
Son
on
the
other
side
,
as
soone
as
the
treason
of
the
Duke
of
Fridland
&
his
conspiracy
,
intended
at
Pilsen
,
was
discovered
,
both
the
Emperours
grace
and
all
other
mens
favour
and
respect
towards
him
began
to
faile
:
so
that
he
had
but
even
time
enough
,
yea
scarce
enough
(
when
the
King
of
Hungary
Ferdinand
the
third
,
taking
his
last
leave
of
the
said
Prince
of
Eggenberg
,
and
bidding
him
farewell
,
without
those
termes
of
kindnesse
,
which
otherwise
are
usually
given
to
Princes
of
the
Empire
)
to
withdraw
himselfe
out
of
the
Court
,
and
in
the
best
manner
he
could
,
make
(
as
it
were
)
his
retreat
into
Stiria
.
Of
the
Cabinet
Counsell
to
the
Emperour
were
,
the
Cardinall
of
Dietrichstein
,
a
Moravian
by
Nation
;
the
Bishop
of
Vienna
of
the
Rhine
;
the
Count
of
Megar
,
an
Austrian
;
the
Count
of
Trantmansdorff
a
Stirian
;
the
Count
of
Fugger
of
Suevia
;
the
Abbot
of
Lilieufield
a
Westphalian
;
the
Count
of
Schlick
a
Bohemian
;
the
Count
of
Werdenberg
an
Italian
;
Count
Mansfelt
an
Earle
of
the
sacred
Roman
Empire
,
who
seldome
comes
to
Counsell
;
Count
Schlawata
a
Bohemian
;
Count
Kevenhuller
a
Carinthian
;
the
Count
of
Morsburg
a
Franconian
,
and
the
Lord
Breuner
an
Austrian
.
The
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
next
in
ranke
to
the
Cabinet
Counsell
,
is
where
all
affaires
of
the
Empire
both
publike
and
private
are
both
considered
and
decided
,
according
to
the
lawes
and
constitutions
of
the
Empire
,
and
according
to
the
grants
and
charters
of
priviledge
and
immunities
of
the
Electours
,
Princes
,
and
States
of
the
Sacred
Roman
Empire
,
that
every
one
may
be
maintained
and
established
therein
;
and
not
by
any
meanes
be
burthened
,
contrary
to
the
Lawes
.
The
Counsellors
of
this
Counsell
are
partly
Nobles
,
and
partly
Doctours
.
Of
the
Nobles
there
are
but
sixe
of
the
Empire
,
the
rest
are
all
borne
in
the
Emperours
hereditary
Provinces
.
The
Doctours
are
many
,
and
most
of
them
borne
in
the
Empire
;
that
is
,
within
the
Austrian
Provinces
.
And
because
the
affaires
of
the
Electours
,
Princes
,
and
States
of
the
Sacred
Roman
Empire
are
of
great
moment
;
therefore
the
consultation
and
direction
being
made
,
his
Imperiall
Majesty
is
informed
thereof
in
his
Cabinet
Counsell
,
and
from
thence
his
resolution
is
expected
.
Hence
the
dispatches
are
sent
to
the
Secretary
,
and
being
prepared
,
the
said
Secretary
first
subscribes
himselfe
on
the
left
hand
below
,
afterwards
the
Vicechancellour
of
the
Empire
,
in
the
midle
towards
the
right
hand
,
and
last
of
all
his
Imperiall
Majesty
signes
the
cloze
under
the
writing
,
towards
the
right
side
.
The
yearely
wages
of
every
one
of
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsellours
,
is
twelve
hundred
florins
,
(
one
hundred
and
forty
pounds
sterling
)
and
besides
his
Imperiall
Majesty
distributes
and
gives
them
gratifications
,
according
to
their
merit
;
and
according
as
every
one
hath
faithfully
and
profitably
discharged
his
office
on
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
The
Court
Counsell
of
warre
,
is
composed
for
the
most
part
,
of
Knights
and
Commanders
.
In
this
they
doe
consult
and
make
provision
for
the
garrisons
and
souldiers
,
how
to
continue
the
warre
and
to
assigne
necessary
allowance
to
the
souldiers
,
money
for
the
armies
,
victuals
,
and
provision
;
and
to
supply
them
with
munition
and
all
other
things
,
directed
for
the
good
,
profit
,
and
benefit
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
in
all
things
which
may
and
ought
to
be
done
.
The
Court
Counsell
of
the
Imperiall
Chamber
,
hath
not
onely
power
and
jurisdiction
in
all
other
chambers
,
but
also
lookes
unto
all
the
revenewes
and
rents
aswell
of
the
Empire
,
as
chiefly
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
,
his
hereditary
Provinces
.
For
although
every
one
of
his
Imperiall
Majesties
hereditary
Kingdomes
and
Provinces
,
have
a
peculiar
chamber
,
yet
all
of
them
depend
upon
the
said
Court
chamber
.
The
resolutions
of
this
chamber
are
somewhat
slow
and
tedious
;
and
thence
it
was
,
that
in
the
Diet
of
the
Kingdome
of
Hungary
,
this
amongst
others
was
presented
as
a
great
grievance
,
that
the
States
and
subjects
of
that
Crowne
,
could
not
obtaine
dispatch
,
but
were
constrained
at
great
expence
and
charges
,
to
neglect
the
affaires
and
businesses
of
their
owne
familie
,
to
attend
in
vaine
this
Court
chamber
.
The
now
president
of
this
Counsell
and
Court
chamber
,
is
an
Ecclesiasticall
Prelate
.
And
here
it
is
chiefely
to
be
observed
,
that
the
President
of
the
Court
chamber
,
who
directs
so
many
millions
of
revenewes
from
the
Emperours
hereditary
Kingdomes
and
Provinces
,
whether
he
be
deposed
or
resignes
his
office
,
is
not
obliged
to
give
any
account
of
his
administration
.
The
Ecclesiasticall
Counsell
was
instituted
by
the
Emperour
Maximilian
the
second
,
that
Ecclesiasticall
matters
and
those
which
concerne
Religion
,
aswell
in
the
Empire
,
as
in
his
Imperiall
Majesties
hereditary
Kingdomes
and
Dominions
,
might
be
therein
resolved
and
deliberated
.
This
Counsell
hath
neither
a
President
,
nor
a
set
number
of
Counsellours
;
the
one
halfe
whereof
is
of
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
and
the
other
of
Politique
.
The
Counsell
of
conscience
consists
onely
in
the
meeting
of
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
which
are
more
or
lesse
according
to
the
occasion
.
When
his
Imperiall
Majesty
treated
the
peace
of
Prag
in
the
yeare
1635.
with
the
Electour
of
Saxony
,
and
his
conscience
was
much
perplexed
,
whether
he
might
any
longer
suffer
the
Evangelicks
to
enjoy
the
possessions
of
Ecclesiasticall
goods
in
the
Empire
;
for
the
recovery
whereof
,
the
warre
had
so
long
continued
,
and
so
much
blood
had
beene
shed
:
This
question
of
conscience
,
of
so
great
a
consequence
,
was
refer'd
to
the
Counsell
of
Divines
,
that
thereupon
they
might
declare
their
judgement
.
Hereupon
divers
Ecclesiasticall
persons
were
assembled
from
divers
places
in
the
City
of
Vienna
:
the
Counsell
was
composed
of
two
Cardinals
,
two
Bishops
,
two
Prelates
,
two
Cannons
,
two
Fathers
,
of
every
society
and
order
,
(
amongst
which
were
also
two
Iesuits
.
)
And
they
deliberated
and
consulted
thereon
for
divers
weekes
,
and
at
last
delivered
an
opinion
,
whereupon
his
Imperiall
Majesty
did
afterwards
agree
of
Articles
with
the
Electour
of
Saxony
,
and
thereupon
the
peace
was
published
.
And
this
Assembly
of
Ecclesiastiques
was
then
called
,
the
Counsell
of
conscience
;
because
the
matter
touched
the
conscience
of
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
The
Court
Counsell
for
Hungary
consists
of
Hungarians
onely
,
and
hath
a
dependance
on
the
Palatine
of
the
Kingdome
of
Hungary
,
who
is
there
as
Viceroy
.
The
present
Palatine
is
the
Lord
Esterhasy
,
Count
de
Gallanta
,
Knight
of
the
golden
Fleece
;
who
governes
the
Hungarian
Kingdome
in
secular
matters
,
as
Cardinall
Pasman
the
Iesuit
,
Archbishop
of
Gran
doth
in
spirituall
.
To
this
Counsell
also
belong
the
affaires
of
the
Kingdomes
of
Dalmatia
,
Creatia
and
Sclavonia
.
The
Bohemian
Court
Counsell
,
although
it
seemes
not
to
be
a
set
Counsell
,
as
the
others
,
because
therein
ordinarily
are
only
a
Chancellor
,
Vicechancellor
,
&
Secretary
:
&
that
besides
the
government
of
that
Kingdom
is
committed
to
the
Lieutenant
and
supreame
Officers
at
Prag
:
neverthelesse
,
divers
petitions
and
supplications
,
touching
tenures
,
immunities
,
confirmations
and
inlargement
of
Provinces
,
and
all
sorts
of
feudall
affaires
are
bought
to
the
Bohemian
Court
Chancery
,
as
well
out
of
the
City
as
Country
,
and
are
afterwards
all
dispatched
in
the
Court
Chancery
.
There
is
also
a
particular
Officer
of
tenures
and
fealties
,
who
(
the
vassals
conveniently
desiring
it
)
doth
grant
unto
them
their
recognziances
or
attestations
that
they
have
performed
the
feodatory
oath
,
which
being
brought
into
the
Chancery
,
there
are
afterward
dispatched
the
feodary
patents
.
If
there
happen
any
processes
,
they
are
first
sent
to
the
Royall
Counsell
of
appeales
for
information
and
report
of
their
opinion
therein
;
and
afterwards
they
are
resolved
and
decided
in
the
Court
Chancery
.
Other
appeales
also
from
the
whole
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
of
all
the
cities
,
townes
and
parts
thereof
are
brought
thither
and
many
times
decrees
and
sentenses
,
about
feudall
affaires
are
there
pronounced
and
obteined
.
The
Barons
and
Knights
of
that
Kingdome
seeke
justice
and
redresse
(
if
they
need
)
at
a
Court
called
,
the
royall
Landtable
.
And
matters
of
debt
are
decided
at
a
Court
,
commonly
called
,
the
office
of
the
Burggrave
;
next
in
dignity
to
the
former
.
Reviewes
or
affaires
of
Revision
are
referred
out
of
the
Chancery
to
the
chamber
,
called
the
Greene
chamber
.
When
there
happens
any
thing
of
moment
in
the
Court
,
there
is
held
a
Bohemian
Counsell
at
the
Lord
Vicechancellours
of
the
Empire
,
the
Baron
of
Stralendorfs
:
To
which
purpose
,
because
there
befall
at
this
time
divers
businesses
of
great
moment
,
concerning
the
affaires
both
of
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
as
also
the
incorporate
Provinces
,
which
are
to
bee
discussed
and
resolved
upon
(
which
would
have
beene
too
troublesome
for
the
Bohemian
Counsell
alone
)
his
Imperiall
Majesty
hath
deputed
(
besides
the
said
Bohemian
Counsellors
)
some
others
of
the
Imperiall
Court
Counsell
,
and
joyned
them
in
Commission
with
his
said
Vicechancellour
Stralendorff
.
The
confiscation
Counsell
consists
of
the
Bishop
of
Vienna
,
the
Abbot
of
Lilienfield
,
President
of
the
Imperiall
Court
chamber
,
the
Count
of
Schlicke
President
of
the
Court
Counsell
of
warre
;
together
with
the
Secretary
of
the
Court
chamber
,
Hoffman
of
Ankerson
.
In
this
Counsell
of
confiscation
,
was
taken
the
deliberation
and
resolution
about
the
distribution
of
the
confiscated
goods
and
Lands
of
the
late
Duke
of
Fridland
,
Count
of
Kinskie
,
and
the
Baron
Ilaw
:
and
since
that
time
very
lately
in
the
same
Counsell
hath
beene
consulted
about
the
distribution
of
the
goods
of
Terskie
,
a
great
part
whereof
is
already
bestowed
on
others
.
And
this
cause
of
Terskie
being
now
finished
,
they
are
now
busied
in
causes
of
Silesia
,
and
divers
others
.
And
these
confiscated
goods
amounted
to
many
millions
,
besides
the
three
and
forty
millions
already
mentioned
.
These
and
the
like
,
are
the
meanes
whereby
the
souldiers
are
partly
satisfied
,
and
appeased
in
their
importunities
.

Of
the
forraigne
Ambassadours
,
and
Agents
,
and
of
the
Ambassadours
and
Agents
of
the
Empire
,
now
at
Vienna
.
THe
Pope
hath
an
ordinary
Nuntio
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
who
is
called
the
Appertolicke
Nuncio
.
He
pretends
spirituall
jurisdiction
,
not
onely
in
the
Kingdomes
of
Hungary
,
and
Bohemia
,
with
their
adherent
and
incorporated
Countries
,
and
in
all
other
Countries
and
Provinces
of
Austria
;
but
even
in
the
whole
German
Empire
.
He
watcheth
also
for
the
safety
of
the
Roman
Church
,
that
it
may
receive
no
prejudice
nor
detriment
,
and
if
he
observe
any
such
thing
,
he
opposeth
himselfe
and
protests
against
it
.
As
he
did
lately
in
the
cause
of
Bremen
,
and
was
much
displeased
at
the
Emperours
gracious
resolution
therein
:
to
whom
his
Imperiall
Majesty
made
answer
,
that
hee
was
enforsed
by
the
Treaty
of
Prag
,
to
yeeld
to
that
and
many
other
things
,
because
the
Pope
had
forsaken
him
.
The
King
of
Spaine
hath
his
ordinary
Ambassadour
,
and
at
this
time
almost
continually
an
extraordinary
,
the
Count
d'
Onnate
,
who
helpes
to
direct
and
uphold
the
German
and
Imperiall
Millitary
forces
as
well
with
counsell
as
with
meanes
and
supplies
of
money
.
He
hath
his
Counsell
also
;
his
Counsellours
are
Father
Chirova
a
Franciscan
,
the
Queene
of
Hungaries
confessour
;
Doctor
Novara
a
Spaniard
,
and
Secretary
Bodin
.
The
French
Kings
emulation
,
and
being
in
competency
with
the
Spaniard
hinders
him
from
keeping
an
Ambassadour
in
the
Imperiall
Court
.
His
last
Agent
was
forced
to
retire
himselfe
thence
.
The
King
of
Great
Brittaine
hath
an
Agent
with
his
Imperiall
Majesty
.
The
State
of
Venice
have
heretofore
had
an
Ambassadour
in
the
Imperiall
Court
,
but
since
the
difference
about
style
and
title
,
betwixt
the
Spannish
Ambassadour
,
the
Count
d'Onnate
and
Signior
Pietro
Gritti
,
Ambassadour
of
Venice
,
some
thirty
yeares
since
;
there
hath
beene
no
ordinary
Ambassadour
from
the
State
of
Venice
in
the
Imperiall
Court
:
but
they
have
their
Agent
,
who
was
invited
not
long
since
to
dispose
the
Republique
,
to
send
againe
an
ordinary
Ambassadour
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
with
proffer
to
receive
him
with
the
like
honour
as
is
given
to
Ambassadours
of
Kings
.
The
great
Duke
of
Tuscany
three
yeeres
since
had
likewise
his
Ambassadour
there
,
who
was
received
with
the
Title
of
Ambassadour
at
the
Imperiall
Court
,
and
equall
honour
with
the
Ambassadour
of
Brussels
.
But
now
he
hath
onely
a
Secretary
at
Vienna
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
hath
for
a
long
time
sent
no
Ambassadour
to
the
Imperiall
Court
,
because
he
pretends
precedency
,
before
the
great
Duke
of
Tuscany
.
The
Electors
,
Princes
,
&
States
,
of
the
Roman
Empire
have
some
their
Residents
,
and
others
their
Agents
,
negotiating
their
affaires
in
the
Imperiall
Court
,
but
when
their
happens
any
thing
of
moment
or
difficulty
they
send
their
Ambassadours
to
his
Imperall
Majesty
.
The
Popes
Nuncio
takes
the
first
place
in
the
Court
before
all
other
Ambassadours
,
and
before
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
then
present
.
After
him
the
Spannish
Ambassadour
claimes
and
pretends
precedency
.
