THE
MANNER
OF
the
Solemnities
at
the
Election
and
Coronation
of
Fardinand
the
Emperour
,
in
Francford
August
30.

and

THE
Earle
of
Thorne
(
after
hee
had
renewed
his
couenant
with
the
Bohemians
,
and
dispatched
his
affaires
in
Morauia
,
according
to
his
harts
desire
)
remoued
his
Campe
from
thence
,
and
passed
into
the
lower
Austria
,
and
intercepting
some
certaine
places
and
townes
by
the
way
,
laid
siege
against
Laba
,
which
refused
to
giue
him
admittance
because
it
was
fortified
with
a
garison
.
The
Protestant
States
,
seeing
that
they
could
not
hitherto
make
any
full
agreement
with
the
Romish
Catholiques
,
and
that
they
had
spent
all
the
time
in
vaine
,
sent
their
embassadours
vnto
him
,
to
demand
of
him
what
reason
hee
had
to
enter
that
country
with
so
great
an
army
:
and
to
request
him
,
that
,
seeng
they
had
done
nothing
which
might
offend
the
Bohemians
,
hee
would
lead
away
his
Forces
from
thence
againe
.
For
the
reason
why
hitherto
they
had
returned
no
answer
to
the
Letters
which
were
sent
from
the
Bohemians
the
fifth
of
March
,
was
,
because
that
the
Romish
Catholique
States
,
day
by
day
,
deferred
to
giue
their
Categoricall
and
resolute
answer
to
the
principall
articles
and
clauses
of
those
Letters
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
had
alwayes
made
fayre
shew
of
a
friendly
agreement
and
peaceable
end
.
Howeuer
,
albeit
they
saw
that
their
hope
hereof
was
frustrate
,
yet
they
were
not
against
the
much-desired
League
,
but
were
rather
glad
of
it
:
and
the
rather
,
for
that
they
called
to
minde
,
how
that
the
Emperour
Matthias
answered
the
States
at
Budwitz
in
the
yeare
1614.
that
they
should
send
their
Legates
or
Embassadors
to
the
Parliament
which
was
to
be
holden
at
Prage
in
the
yeare
1615.
and
then
and
there
should
enter
a
Treaty
concerning
the
renewing
of
that
League
.
Wherefore
they
gaue
licence
and
authoritie
to
their
Deputies
or
Legates
,
to
renew
that
League
;
prouided
,
that
it
were
not
repugnant
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
and
the
States
and
Religion
of
the
Romish
Catholiques
.
This
Embassie
by
fiue
selected
and
chosen
out
of
euery
State
,
was
performed
.
A
while
after
there
came
to
the
Camp
,
certaine
Embassadours
of
the
Romish
catholike
States
,
and
Earle
Buchem
being
their
Spokesman
,
they
say
that
they
neuer
did
any
thing
that
might
aggrieue
eyther
the
Earle
of
Thorne
,
or
any
others
of
the
Bohemians
:
and
that
they
did
very
carefully
maintaine
and
preserue
peace
.
Wherefore
they
request
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
spare
them
,
and
to
dislodge
his
Campe
from
before
Laba
.
As
touching
the
Confederation
and
League
betwixt
the
Protestants
and
them
;
It
was
true
indeed
,
that
the
Protestant
States
and
they
had
not
yet
drawne
to
a
full
conclusion
in
all
things
;
yet
,
forasmuch
as
the
points
of
difference
betwixt
them
were
but
small
,
they
were
in
good
hope
that
very
shortly
a
good
end
and
agreement
should
be
made
betwixt
them
.
Thorne
making
answer
,
said
vnto
them
;
That
the
Bohemians
by
maine
necessity
were
constrained
to
doe
what
they
did
:
and
for
his
part
,
That
he
would
not
willingly
vndertake
any
thing
against
any
man
without
cause
:
but
his
desire
was
,
to
pursue
all
hostile
Forces
,
and
to
driue
away
the
enemy
though
hee
were
at
Hierusalem
:
That
hee
came
into
that
Prouince
to
preserue
peace
and
tranquilitie
,
and
to
relieue
and
ayd
the
oppressed
;
for
hee
would
faine
haue
it
so
,
that
hereafter
the
Protestants
and
Romish
Catholiques
should
walke
together
hand
in
hand
as
equals
one
to
another
in
euery
respect
.
That
heretofore
the
Romish
Catholiques
haue
had
the
superiority
and
preheminence
,
but
against
good
reason
;
for
the
Protestants
were
as
honest
men
as
the
Romish
Catholiques
,
and
therefore
hee
would
no
longer
suffer
that
these
being
kept
vnder
and
oppressed
,
the
Romish
Catholiques
(
like
oyle
in
water
)
should
swimme
aloft
:
for
he
would
haue
an
equalitie
kept
amongst
them
,
without
any
respect
had
to
one
Religion
or
other
;
and
looke
what
priuiledges
were
granted
to
the
one
side
,
the
same
should
be
permitted
to
the
other
,
that
so
a
constant
and
perpetuall
peace
betwixt
them
might
be
made
:
And
that
whosoeuer
should
be
their
King
and
Prince
,
hee
might
be
safe
from
the
treacheries
and
commotions
of
the
Cleselians
,
&
so
might
gouerne
the
weale
publique
with
greater
quietnesse
and
honour
.
For
his
owne
part
,
hee
tooke
no
care
whence
or
from
whom
he
should
receiue
prouision
,
mony
or
aid
to
maintaine
his
army
.
He
had
resigned
himselfe
vp
to
God
,
and
made
prayers
to
him
,
that
he
would
further
and
prosper
this
his
honest
and
truly
Christian
purpose
,
and
grant
vnto
him
power
and
strength
fitting
and
necessary
for
him
.
That
he
tels
them
the
truth
,
That
he
would
neuer
haue
made
any
attempt
against
Laba
,
but
that
he
found
it
fortified
with
a
Garison
,
and
that
they
themselues
were
the
causes
why
hee
did
besiege
it
.
For
hee
had
giuen
notice
to
Earle
Traustam
,
that
when
hee
found
no
Garison
,
nor
any
resistance
,
there
the
people
should
not
need
to
feare
any
danger
by
his
comming
.
When
the
Legates
had
heard
him
speake
thus
,
they
made
answer
,
that
they
would
deale
with
Ferdinand
,
&
do
their
best
endeauours
,
that
both
Laba
and
other
places
in
that
Prouince
might
bee
quit
and
cleared
of
Souldiers
.
Therefore
Thorne
gaue
his
word
that
on
condition
,
that
Garison
might
be
remoued
,
the
gates
of
the
Citie
set
open
,
and
hereafter
the
Citie
fenced
with
a
Garison
of
Protestants
,
and
not
with
enemies
,
hee
would
not
attempt
any
thing
further
against
that
place
:
and
so
he
dismissed
them
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Lords
directors
held
a
consultation
,
that
if
a
treaty
of
peace
were
to
be
made
,
vpon
what
condition
it
were
to
be
entertained
:
and
they
concluded
&
decreed
it
altogether
necessary
.
1
That
all
Protestants
whatsoeuer
(
as
well
States
as
inferiours
)
throughout
the
whole
Kingdome
,
whether
they
dwelt
vnder
a
Romish
catholike
or
an
Euangelicall
Magistrate
,
by
vertue
of
a
charter
granted
vnto
them
by
the
Emperour
Rodolphus
,
in
point
of
Religion
;
(
it
being
mutually
couenanted
on
both
sides
)
should
enioy
the
benefite
of
the
secretest
consultations
in
the
Parliament
,
and
Imperiall
confirmations
,
and
it
should
be
lawfull
for
them
as
well
as
for
the
Silesians
&
others
in
other
places
to
erect
and
set
vp
Schooles
;
all
such
acts
,
decrees
,
prouiso's
,
made
heretofore
to
the
contrary
,
either
by
Ferdinand
or
by
them
that
are
Sub
vnâ
,
being
declared
to
be
voyd
and
of
none
effect
.
2
That
the
Proscription
and
the
banishing
of
the
Iesuits
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
should
be
ratified
and
made
sure
and
firme
for
euer
:
so
that
it
shall
neuer
be
lawfull
for
them
to
returne
into
that
kingdome
vnder
pretence
of
any
order
whatsoeuer
.
That
their
Colledges
and
all
their
goods
should
be
confiscate
and
adiudged
to
the
publique
good
of
the
States
,
and
that
their
priuiledges
should
be
razed
out
of
publique
Records
.
3
That
their
Confederations
and
Leagues
made
with
the
people
of
Hungaria
,
Austria
,
Morauia
,
and
of
both
the
Lusatia's
should
bee
ratified
and
confirmed
.
4
That
the
Matter
of
Defence
should
be
deferred
till
the
generall
Assembly
of
those
Prouinces
.
5
That
it
should
be
lawfull
to
ordaine
and
appoynt
Assemblies
of
States
in
diuers
Territories
,
after
the
ancient
manner
.
6
That
the
hereditary
Leagues
with
the
Electors
and
other
neighbour
Princes
,
should
bee
renewed
.
7
That
the
Banishing
and
proscription
of
certaine
men
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
the
remouing
of
them
from
the
publique
Offices
,
should
bee
constant
and
firme
.
To
these
seuen
articles
,
the
Directors
afterwards
added
diuers
others
which
they
thought
needfull
for
the
Kingdome
and
the
prouinces
:
as
namely
,
1
That
,
that
decree
where
the
deceased
Emperour
did
giue
to
the
bishop
of
Prage
Ius
patronatus
,
the
aduowson
and
patronage
,
to
present
Priests
to
all
Churches
,
is
repugnant
to
his
Maiesties
Charter
;
and
therefore
let
it
be
abrogated
,
and
let
the
power
be
giuen
to
the
consistory
of
Prage
to
confer
those
benefices
vpon
such
Pastors
as
are
addicted
to
that
religion
,
which
is
principally
professed
in
that
Parish
.
2
Seeing
that
the
Subiects
dwelling
not
only
in
the
Emperours
dominions
,
but
also
in
other
spirituall
or
secular
iurisdictions
,
(
both
parties
being
agreed
)
by
the
Emperours
charter
,
had
had
power
and
authority
hitherto
to
erect
Churches
and
Schooles
,
let
them
still
retaine
and
keepe
the
same
hereafter
,
and
let
thest
Clostergrabiens
,
whose
temple
was
demolished
by
the
Bishop
,
make
vse
of
some
other
temple
in
the
City
,
vntill
their
owne
be
reedified
.
3
Let
the
Burnauiens
hereafter
quietly
and
peacibly
possesse
their
owne
Church
.
4
The
Churches
in
the
City
of
Prage
(
which
haue
beene
built
since
his
Maiesties
Charter
was
obtained
)
as
namely
the
Church
of
the
holy
Trinity
,
in
the
lesser
towne
;
and
the
Churches
of
our
Sauiour
,
and
of
Simon
and
Iude
,
with
the
Chappell
adioining
to
it
,
in
the
old
towne
,
let
them
for
euer
be
left
in
the
power
of
them
which
are
Sub
vtrâque
,
and
by
whom
they
were
built
:
and
the
next
Parliament
let
them
be
registred
in
the
publike
recordes
.
5
Forasmuch
as
the
vniuersity
of
Prage
and
all
the
goods
appertaining
vnto
it
,
were
giuen
by
the
Emperour
Rodolphus
to
the
States
Sub
vtrâque
.
Therfore
let
them
still
haue
power
either
to
bestow
some
thing
of
their
owne
,
or
to
exact
of
their
Subiects
any
thing
whereby
that
vniuersity
and
other
Churches
may
be
sustained
,
and
that
which
is
so
collected
,
let
it
be
kept
vpon
record
,
and
required
of
the
defenders
as
well
as
other
publike
contributions
of
the
Subiects
.
6
Let
not
any
other
spirituall
orders
besides
those
which
are
in
the
kingdome
already
,
be
brought
in
either
by
the
King
,
or
by
those
which
are
Sub
vnâ
.
7
Let
not
the
Commissaries
which
are
wont
to
be
sent
to
the
Parliament
by
the
King
:
let
them
not
dwell
too
long
vpon
the
Kings
proposition
,
but
speedily
require
an
answer
from
the
States
.
8
Let
the
States
in
the
Parliament
conferre
their
voyces
together
;
and
after
they
haue
collected
their
voyces
,
let
them
giue
vp
their
answers
by
one
either
seuerally
or
generally
:
neither
let
the
Kings
Councellers
sunder
and
separate
themselues
from
the
States
,
but
let
them
also
giue
their
best
counsell
and
aduice
for
the
common
good
.
9
Let
it
not
be
lawfull
to
except
against
the
answer
of
the
States
in
Parliaments
:
neither
let
the
States
be
bound
to
admit
any
reply
,
or
to
accept
any
other
conclusion
,
if
perhaps
after
their
departure
any
such
conclusion
be
made
of
any
.
10
And
let
not
the
Parliament
be
continued
aboue
14.
dayes
,
vnlesse
it
be
by
a
peculiar
consent
of
the
States
.
11
When
the
chiefe
Chancelor
of
the
Kingdomes
propoundeth
any
thing
to
the
King
,
let
another
Chancelor
be
present
,
and
haue
notice
giuen
him
of
the
same
.
12
Such
as
are
to
be
Secretaries
and
Clarkes
of
the
Chancery
,
let
them
be
honest
men
,
and
addicted
to
the
Religion
Sub
vtrâque
,
after
the
vsuall
and
accustomed
manner
in
former
times
.
13
In
the
next
Parliament
,
let
there
be
a
consultation
held
,
about
renewing
the
Hereditary
leagues
with
the
Electors
and
other
neighbour
countries
.
14
That
which
hath
been
already
concluded
,
in
the
last
assembly
,
concerning
some
perfidious
persons
,
whereof
some
were
to
be
banished
the
country
,
and
some
to
be
barred
from
publike
offices
:
let
it
remaine
firme
and
ratified
.
15
Hereafter
let
none
of
the
Kings
Lieutenants
in
the
townes
of
Prage
be
susteyned
or
maintained
,
neither
let
the
Kings
Iudges
haue
place
either
in
the
townes
of
Prage
,
or
in
any
others
.
16
And
seeing
that
by
commandement
of
the
States
,
the
Directors
and
exactors
of
contributions
haue
runne
into
a
great
deale
of
debt
,
in
defending
and
preseruing
the
Kingdome
from
the
enemy
,
and
in
paying
the
Souldiers
their
stipends
(
the
Directors
in
the
meane
while
being
wise
enough
to
saue
themselues
harmlesse
)
Therefore
let
the
goods
of
such
as
were
causes
of
that
war
(
whether
they
be
fled
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
or
still
remaine
in
it
)
be
confiscated
,
and
adiudged
to
the
paiment
of
those
debts
.
17
In
like
manner
,
let
the
Kings
goods
be
sold
(
alwayes
excepting
those
goods
of
the
King
which
are
inserted
into
publique
records
,
and
can
neuer
be
alienated
)
Let
the
Kings
goods
be
sould
seeing
they
were
redeemed
with
other
mens
mony
,
and
that
many
therefore
were
constrained
to
engage
their
faith
and
credit
:
and
let
the
mony
which
is
collected
thence
be
imployed
to
the
payment
of
the
Kings
debts
,
and
towards
the
repayring
of
their
dammages
and
losses
,
whose
Houses
and
goods
were
pillag'd
and
burnt
vp
by
the
Kings
Souldiers
.
18
Such
Church
goods
as
vpon
the
vrgency
of
extreame
necessity
,
haue
beene
laid
to
pawne
or
sold
outright
,
let
them
not
be
redeemed
at
all
;
but
let
more
of
them
be
sold
away
,
yet
with
this
caution
,
that
prouision
be
made
that
the
spirituall
persons
may
be
honestly
maintained
.
19
Let
not
the
chamber
of
Bohemia
be
subiect
to
the
Kings
chamber
,
nor
doe
seruice
to
it
in
furthering
the
decrees
thereof
.
20
Let
the
walles
be
reedified
about
the
townes
of
Prage
,
and
let
all
forraigne
Ecclesiasticall
lawes
be
subiect
to
their
iurisdiction
.
21
The
Prage
townes
and
other
townes
which

as
heretofore
in
publique
records

(
wee
know

why
)
they
were

and
entituled

What
shall
be
done
concerning
those
two
Cities
in
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
namely
Pilsna
and
Budwitz
,
let
it
be
consulted
vpon
.

Touching

which
shall
accrew
by
burials
,
let
the
halfe
of
it
be
imployed
vpon
the
repairing
the
wals
of
the
City
,
and
vpon
the
Prage
Townes
.
Pilsna
,
Budwitz
,
and
Gretsna
,
let
them
be
giuen
to
the
State
ab
vtraque
,
that
in
them
they
may
prouide
sufficient
Armories
,
without
which
our
businesse
of
Defence
cannot
come
to
any
good
.
24
But
to
whose
trust
these
Armories
are
to
be
committed
,
and
what
costs
and
charges
are
needfull
for
prouiding
and
storing
vp
armes
therein
,
let
consultation
be
had
hereafter
.
At
this
time
there
was
a
Parliament
holden
at
Vratislavia
by
the
Princes
and
the
States
of
Silesia
:
The
King
sent
to
it
one
Otto
Melander
a
noble
Heroicall
Gentleman
,
and
one
of
his
Councell
:
who
from
the
Prince
of
Lignitz
,
in
the
name
of
the
rest
of
the
Princes
and
States
,
brought
backe
this
answere
,
viz:
They
say
,
that
by
relation
of
the
Noble
and
Honourable
Parsonage
Otto
Melander
,
and
also
by
his
Maiesties
Royall
Letters
,
which
hee
deliuered
vnto
them
,
they
were
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
Ferdinand
hath
determined
,
since
the
Emperour
Matthias
is
now
deceased
,
to
vndertake
the
gouernment
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
to
confirme
vnto
these
Princes
and
Countries
,
all
lawes
,
rights
,
and
priuiledges
,
as
well
generall
as
speciall
,
all
Grants
and
Customes
,
euen
the
Maiestatis
Diploma
,
the
Charters
of
State
,
which
were
granted
by
his
Predecessours
,
the
Kings
of
Bohemia
,
by
Ferdinand
,
Maximilian
,
Rodolphus
and
Matthias
:
and
that
hee
is
determined
not
onely
to
confirme
whatsoeuer
hath
beene
granted
by
his
Predecessors
,
but
also
to
send
his
Confirmation
vnto
them
:
or
if
at
this
time
it
be
full
of
danger
to
send
such
Confirmations
,
yet
at
least
hee
will
accept
whatsoeuer
speciall
priuiledges
any
of
the
Prouinces
can
shew
for
themselues
.
That
looke
what
dissentions
and
disagreements
there
be
betwixt
the
Romish
Catholiques
and
Protestants
,
he
is
purposed
to
compound
them
.
That
hee
would
in
these
places
confirme
the
Office
of
the
King
,
and
accept
from
him
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
:
and
did
hope
that
by
this
meanes
it
would
come
to
passe
,
that
(
seeing
hee
promised
moreouer
to
take
vpon
him
,
and
to
discharge
the
Emperours
debts
which
hee
owed
in
the
Prouinces
of
Silesia
)
the
States
of
Silesia
would
not
onely
pay
such
Contributions
as
they
had
formerly
promised
,
but
also
would
performe
all
other
duties
and
offices
which
were
due
vnto
him
:
That
in
so
doing
hee
himselfe
also
might
haue
cause
to
declare
and
shew
his
fatherly
loue
and
affection
vnto
them
still
more
and
more
:
And
that
also
,
the
States
of
Bohemia
,
to
whom
in
like
manner
he
had
already
sent
the
Confirmation
of
their
Priuiledges
,
might
thereby
take
occasion
to
settle
themselues
to
due
obedience
,
that
so
all
troubles
being
composed
,
and
warres
ended
,
the
Kingdome
might
enioy
her
former
peace
and
tranquilitie
.
But
as
heretofore
it
gaue
them
great
contentment
,
that
the
Emperour
Matthias
was
pleased
to
deuise
a
way
how
his
Kingdomes
and
Countries
might
be
prouided
of
one
to
be
their
head
,
and
to
succeed
him
after
his
death
;
and
that
so
all
occasions
of
warres
and
seditions
being
cut
off
,
peace
and
tranquility
might
be
preserued
and
continued
in
the
Kingdome
:
So
also
they
called
to
minde
,
when
that
Succession
was
giuen
to
Ferdinand
,
vpon
what
conditions
they
accepted
it
,
and
what
promises
they
receiued
from
him
;
and
what
they
on
the
other
side
were
bound
to
performe
vnto
him
:
and
so
they
wish
with
all
their
hearts
,
that
Matthias
his
departure
had
hapned
at
such
time
,
as
all
things
being
in
peace
,
they
might
quietly
vse
and
enioy
their
piuiledges
and
immunities
,
and
Ferdinand
might
obtaine
the
wished
end
of
his
Succession
with
greatest
facilitie
:
for
so
nothing
could
haue
hindered
them
,
but
that
vpon
the
receipt
of
the
Letters
of
Confirmation
of
their
generall
and
speciall
priuiledges
,
they
had
forthwith
accepted
him
for
their
King
,
and
had
performed
vnto
him
all
such
offices
as
were
due
.
But
howsoeuer
it
be
,
they
are
exceeding
glad
,
that
he
remembring
his
promise
made
vnto
them
,
is
desirous
to
put
it
in
execution
.
But
they
doubt
not
,
but
that
Ferdinand
will
set
before
his
eyes
,
how
lamentable
and
confused
the
state
of
those
Countries
is
;
and
that
the
combustion
is
now
spread
so
farre
,
and
growne
so
vehement
,
that
it
cannot
without
great
difficultie
and
danger
be
extinguished
and
suppressed
:
and
that
hee
will
be
pleased
to
take
into
his
consideration
,
how
farre
these
times
are
altered
from
those
wherein
his
succession
to
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
was
made
:
As
namely
,
that
now
the
publique
peace
and
quiet
is
disturbed
,
all
the
Country
embroyled
with
warres
,
their
Townes
sacked
and
spoyled
,
and
euery
place
fraught
with
Soldiers
and
armed
men
.
That
their
priuiledges
confirmed
heretofore
,
are
of
no
power
or
strength
to
defend
them
from
these
euils
.
And
that
not
onely
Disputations
and
diuers
wrested
interpretations
haue
beene
inuented
to
discredit
that
profitable
businesse
of
Defence
,
vndertaken
for
the
profit
and
good
of
all
;
but
also
,
that
warres
are
prepared
,
and
great
violence
done
to
the
Subiect
:
so
that
it
seemeth
that
the
bare
confirmation
of
Priuiledges
is
not
now
any
longer
sufficient
to
establish
peace
in
that
Kingdome
and
those
Provinces
,
but
it
is
necessary
that
what
before
was
promised
in
words
,
be
now
shewed
in
deed
and
action
.
Also
they
doubt
not
,
but
that
he
will
be
pleased
to
remember
what
a
quiet
,
sweet
and
calme
state
there
was
thorow
the
whole
kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
and
the
other
confederate
countries
,
not
onely
in
the
dayes
of
former
Kings
,
his
Predecessors
;
but
euen
at
that
very
time
when
he
was
admitted
to
the
succession
in
the
same
kingdome
:
and
how
farre
it
is
estranged
from
that
tranquility
:
how
much
it
concerneth
the
common
wealth
,
that
the
ancient
and
wholesome
ordinances
of
the
kingdome
,
and
the
old
custome
be
obserued
,
not
onely
about
the
designation
,
but
also
about
the
acceptation
of
the
King
,
whosoeuer
he
shall
bee
.
All
which
things
being
duly
considered
;
The
King
and
all
others
may
easily
perceiue
,
that
,
although
they
in
times
past
did
elect
and
designe
him
to
bee
their
chiefe
Soueraigne
Duke
,
and
that
of
their
owne
free
will
and
pleasure
,
without
any
eye
or
regard
to
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
:
yet
,
the
case
with
the
Kingdom
and
other
prouinces
standing
so
as
it
doth
;
they
may
not
to
the
great
preiudice
of
others
,
(
as
well
concerning
the
execution
of
the
designation
,
as
concerning
the
designation
it selfe
)
accept
and
admit
him
to
be
their
gouernour
.
Also
that
the
King
by
the
premises
may
easily
coniecture
,
that
these
embroilements
and
combustions
,
together
with
the
troubles
and
hurts
which
followed
thereupon
in
point
of
religion
throughout
Bohemia
and
Silesia
,
cannot
be
remedied
and
laid
asleepe
,
by
the
bare
charter
of
confirmation
of
priuiledges
:
but
that
these
times
desire
to
see
the
effect
of
this
confirmation
,
and
doe
require
deedes
and
not
words
.
These
things
considered
,
they
hope
,
and
beseech
his
maiesty
,
that
he
would
be
pleased
not
to
take
it
in
ill
part
;
that
,
weighing
the
great
danger
of
these
times
,
they
thinke
it
good
for
them
to
expect
,
vntill
he
doe
not
onely
vndertake
the
gouernment
and
administration
of
the
kingdome
of
Bohemia
:
but
also
,
stinting
all
these
troubles
,
doe
settle
the
whole
kingdome
in
that
state
which
their
priuiledges
doe
require
,
and
that
they
may
freely
without
warre
and
molestation
,
enioy
their
priuiledges
confirmed
.
And
that
this
may
be
done
very
well
,
if
(
all
warres
being
ended
)
he
would
ipso
facto
performe
all
things
to
the
Prouinces
according
to
the
prescript
of
their
priuiledges
in
point
of
Religion
,
and
would
take
order
for
them
by
granting
such
a
charter
,
that
by
it
they
might
enioy
the
peace
of
Religion
.
To
the
performance
hereof
,
he
needed
not
any
interposition
;
for
here
was
nothing
required
but
the
very
effect
of
their
priuiledges
;
and
that
is
the
onely
meanes
both
to
settle
peace
and
tranquility
on
all
sides
,
and
also
to
keepe
and
retaine
it
constantly
:
which
being
vsed
,
when
he
should
enter
vpon
the
administration
of
the
kingdome
,
he
needed
not
to
make
any
question
at
all
,
but
they
in
their
place
will
doe
what
necessity
requireth
.
Concerning
the
Earle
of
Thorne
his
expedition
and
voyage
into
the
lower
Austria
,
we
haue
spoken
before
.
The
Romish
Catholiques
euen
vntill
then
were
in
deliberating
what
answer
they
should
giue
to
the
Protestants
:
For
the
Protestants
had
propounded
seuen
articles
to
them
to
consult
vpon
:
namely
,
that
all
the
R.
catholike
States
in
the
vpper
&
lower
Austria
should
be
one
body
with
the
Protestants
in
those
parts
;
that
in
time
of
vrgent
necessity
the
one
side
should
defend
the
other
:
that
their
priuiledges
(
as
well
old
as
new
)
should
remaine
whole
and
entyre
to
euery
state
,
and
nothing
in
them
,
should
be
altered
and
changed
.
In
burialls
and
spittles
for
sicke
folke
there
should
be
no
difference
made
between
Protestants
&
R.
Catholiques
:
but
that
without
respect
of
religion
both
alike
should
receiue
the
like
benefite
by
them
.
That
to
the
vniuersity
of
Vienna
(
which
the
states
by
common
consent
,
founded
in
the
yeare
1613
)
learned
men
should
be
called
without
respect
of
what
Religion
they
be
,
viz.
Romish
Catholique
or
Protestant
.
That
no
man
should
be
troubled
for
difference
in
religion
.
That
both
sides
should
abstaine
from
persecuting
one
another
,
and
that
euery
man
should
be
permitted
to
enioy
his
owne
liberty
.
And
howsoeuer
as
yet
,
they
could
not
agree
vpon
the
foresaid
articles
,
yet
,
because
the
earle
of
Thorne
desired
it
,
they
remoued
the
garison
from
the
city
of
Laba
:
which
being
done
,
Thorne
placed
there
a
garison
of
his
souldiers
;
vntill
such
time
as
the
States
had
leuied
an
army
,
and
prouided
a
garison
for
that
City
.
The
Citie
Tina
taken
in
by
the
Earle
of
Thorne
.
AT
the
latter
end
of
Iuly
the
Earle
being
prouided
of
a
very
good
Army
at
Omnitium
,
went
forth
of
purpose
to
ioyne
battle
with
Count
Buquoy
;
he
led
after
him
46.
companies
of
horse
,
and
48.
ensignes
of
foote
.
But
the
Count
thinking
it
small
aduantage
to
him
accept
the
fight
,
declined
it
by
all
meanes
,
keeping
himselfe
very
carefully
in
his
tents
:
wherefore
the
Earle
made
an
assault
vpon
the
towne
of
Tina
and
tooke
it
,
and
so
put
all
the
garison
souldiers
and
the
borderers
thereabout
to
the
sword
.
Not
long
after
some
of
the
officers
of
the
Count
Buquoy
(
not
knowing
what
had
passed
)
came
that
way
,
and
were
intercepted
by
the
new
garison
the
Earle
had
placed
there
in
the
towne
.
FERDINAND
His
ELECTION
,
in
what
manner
performed
.
AFter
certaine
sessions
in
the
Court
at
Francford
betweene
the
Electors
of
the
spirituality
;
and
the
Embassadors
of
the
Secular
Electors
,
and
that
the
Bishop-Electors
perceiued
that
those
Embassadors
could
not
be
wrought
vpon
to
remit
any
thing
of
their
commission
,
Messengers
were
dispatched
in
all
hast

24.
of
Iuly
to
the
principall
of
the
Lay-Electors
vnto
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
and
the
Palatine
of
Rhine
.
In
the
meane
while
Ferdinand
and
the
Bishop
of
Colein
withdrew
themselues
vnto
Lewis
Lantzgraue
of
Hesse
,
and
spent
the
time
in
hunting
,
when
they
came
to
Francford
againe
,
and
assembled
another
Court
,
it
was
declared
to
Ferdinand
,
that
he
should
appeare
in
the
same
Court
againe
the

of

to
take
a

,
which
was
to
be
administred
to
him
by
the
State
and
people
of
Francford
,
according
as
was
prescribed
in
the
Golden
Bull.
The
8.
of
August
hauing
receiued
full
resolution
from
the
Elector
of
Saxonie
,
concerning
his
more
absolute
power
,
the
Magistrate
presently
caused
it
to
be
proclamed
by
sound
of
trumpet
:
that
all
strangers
should
depart
the
City
:
those
onely
excepted
which
belonged
to
the
Court
of
Ferdinand
,
and
the
Princes
Electors
:
the

Gouernour
,
and
before
the
Court

of
all
the
Citizens
and
Garison
Souldiers
to
the
number
of
a

Afterwards

,
till
at

day
to

The
order
of
going

.
FERDINAND
and
the
Electors
came
to
the
Court
in
Coaches
,
and
from
thence
(
being
Royally
apparelled
in
Electorate

)
they
rode
on

to
the

of

,
being
enuironed

the

Now
the

The

All

and
the
Embassadour
of
the

,
came

Then
was
made
the
vsuall
preparation
for
the
Coronation
:
a
great
long
Bridge
was
built
,
which
reached
from
the

,
all
ouer

Theaters
and
Stages
for

,
and
a
Royall
Chayre
of
State
set

About
the

(
being

)
two

Hungarians
,
who
had
wasted
many
places
of
Bohemia

,
with
their
burning
of

,
and

,
hauing
gotten
great
booty
,
and
being
disswaded
from
so
wicked
attempts
by
the
States
of
Hungaria
,
withdrew
themselues
priuately
and
went
home-ward
with
all
their
spoyles
:
and
there
was
a
rumour
that
Sumadius
an
Hungarian
Captaine
,
thought
to
haue
followed
them
with
fiue
hundred
Hungarians
vnder
his
owne
command
:
But
Count
Buquoi
getting
intelligence
thereof
,
gaue
that
businesse
in
charge
to
the
Cornet
of
Horse
that
lay
in
Wallenstein
,
that
they
should
way-lay
them
at
some
fit
passage
:
by
which
meanes
they
were
preuented
,
and
defeated
,
all
their
Bootie
taken
from
them
,
many
of
them
slaine
,
and
the
rest
put
to

.
The

And
forasmuch

Officers
also
in

,
and
cannot
repose
that

And

the
calling
backe
of
his

,
enters
againe
into
their

with
eight
hundred
horse
,
and
foote
;
and
hauing
got
into
his
possession
a
very
strong
fort
called
Iosuit
,
determined
also
to
take
in
the
Castle
of
the
Prince
of
Lichtenstein
,
and
so
at
once
to
open
himself
a
passage
into
the
whole
Country
,
but
the
States
of
Morania
preuented
him
,
and
recouered
the
Castle
into
their
owne
subiection
before
,
and
placed
a
very
strong
Garison
in
it
:
when
he
saw
himselfe
disappointed
,
and
hauing
receiued
new
forces
out
of
Hungary
,
he
made
attempt
vpon
the
gouernment
of
Diffenbacchius
,
and
when
he
found
him
well
appointed
,
hauing
spoiled
and
fired
some
poore
villages
in
the
frontires
of
it
,
hee
turned
himselfe
to
a
towne
called
Niclasburge
,
but
receiued
a
repulse
there
to
,
by
valiant
resistance
of
the
Garison
hee
was
constrained
to
leaue
them
with
no
small
losse
to
his
men
.
Notwithstanding
,
the
Morauians
incensed
with
these
molestations
,
hauing
leuied
1500.
of
their
owne
countrimen
,
and
ioyned
with
them
some
other

directly
to

him
,
and
when
they
found
him
,
August

8.
day
,
lying
in
Vistrie
with
9000
horse
and
foote
,
presently
he
fell

skirmishing
with
them
,
and
forced
him
,
leauing
many
of
his
men
dead
in
the
place
,
from
the
narrow
straight
into
the
Champion
Fields
.
Now
he
little
thought
that
the
Morauians
would
prosecute
the
fight
,
but
they
all
on
fire
with
rage
and
indignation
,
set
so
valiantly
vpon
him
,
that
the

was
prolonged
and

of
all
was

by
his
flight
to

of

During
this
fight
,
the

Lauenberge
were
mortally
wounded
&
many
with
them
,
and
not
long
after
died
of
the
hurts
there
receiued
.
In
the
heat
of
the
conflict
the
Morauians
were
wholy
mingled
with
the
Tampirians
:
the
Smoake
and
Dust
had
caused
so
great
darkenes
that
they
could
not
know

,
that
it
could
be
nothing

then
a

,
that
but
300
of
the
Morauians
were
slaine
,
and
as
many
wounded
,
in
so
great
confusion
:
and
thus
Tampire
was
compelled
to

these
for
the
present
:
all
the
free
Cities
and
States
for
the
most
part
consented
to

the
next

.
Besides
,
the
hands
of
the
Embassadours
for
Morauia
,
Silesia
,
and
Eusatia
,
being
gathered
,
it
was
manifestly
found
,
that
they
were
all
directed
to
the

with
one
consent
.
The

thus
performed
:

WHile
these

were
a
doing
at
Prage
,
Buquoi
marched
towards
Pissera
with
his
whole
army
,
and
consumed
the
Suburbs
with
fire
.
After
,
he
sent
a
Trumpet
to
Hacquius
commander
of
two
Ensignes
in
the
City
,
to
will
him
to
depart
the

,
&
yeeld
it
vp
to

.
The
Captain
refusing
,
answered
,
he
would
fight
for
his
City
vntill
his
latest
breath
,
as
was
the
part
of
a
true
Souldier
.
Buquoi
enraged
with
this
answer
,
commanded
the
towne
to
be
assaulted
in
foure
seuerall
places
at
once
:
in
which
conflict
though
the
Garison
behaued
themselues
valiantly
,
and
slew

After

which
towne
he
had
also
a

before
brought

power
.
He
thought
withall
to

.
The
Bohemians
followed
the
Count
,
but
durst
not
settle
vpon

about

other

to
Prage
,
carrying
with
them
their

they
bring

againe
from
the
Chancell
to
the
seate
where
he
first
prayed
,
and
there
the
Consecrator
liberally
bestowed
vpon
him
a
new
blessing
;
prayers
said
,
Ferdinand

Thus

money

the
people
,
gold

the
other
a
Crowne
,
and
these
words
:
CROWNED
KING
OF
THE
ROMANS
,
SEPTEMBER
IX
.
MDCXIX
.
The
casting
of
this
money
made
such
a
hurly burly
among
the
Common-people
,
that
the
Chaplaines
could
scarce
make
way
for
the
greatnesse
of
the
presse
,
though
they
were
on
horsebacke
:
the
cloth
on
the
bridge
as
soone
as
the
Emperor
passed
,
was
cut
,
torne
and
rent
in
peeces
by
the
people
.
In
the
Pallace
or
Hall
of
the
Court
,
the
Tables
were
set
and
royally
furnished
for

were
couered
with
red
Veluet
as

Bohemia
,
but
no
meate
was
set
vpon
them
,
as
is
prouided
by
the
constitution
of
the
golden
Bull
:
being
thus
at
last
in
the
Pallace
,
the
Delegates
of
the
Secular
Electors
addressed
them
to
performe
the
Offices
of
the
Electorship
,
in
stead
of
their
Lords
and
Princes
themselues
.
When
Pappenhemius
the
hereditary
Marshall
of
the
Empire
mounted
his
horse
,
and
being
brought
with
a
measure
of
siluer
,

,
being
laid

betweene
the
Well
of

,
filled

of
siluer
,
and
then
gaue
it
to
a
Seruant
to
keepe
,
the
people
after
snatching
them
away
.
After
him
appeared
one
of
the
Delegates
of
the
Brandenburgh
,
riding
also
on
horse-backe
from
the
Court
,
and
tooke
vp
a
Basen
of
siluer
with
an
Ewer
of
gold
,
and
a
Towell
,
set
vpon
a
Board
by
the
Kitchin
where
the
Bull
was
roasted
,
and
carryed
it
with
him
to
the
Court.
Last
of
all
,
the
Delegate
of
the
Elector
Palatine
,
Sewer
hereditary
to
the
Kingdome
,
being
brought
foorth
from
the
Court
,
tooke
certaine
dishes
of
the
Bull
roasted
in
the
publique
Kitchin
,
couered
with
foure
siluer
platters
,
and
set
out
on
the
Dresser
,
and
bore
them
with
him
to
the
Court.
This
being
done
,
the
rude
multitude
breaking
into
the
Kitchin
,
by
maine
force
carryed
away
with
them
the
Bull
which
was
roasted
whole
,
with
the
head
,
feet
,
hoofes
,
tayle
and
hornes
,
and
stuft
full
of
Hares
,
Conies
,
Lambes
,
Geese
,
and
diuers
other
sorts
of
Birds
and
fowles
,
pulling
it
by
peece-meale
,
and
cutting
it
a
sunder
with
their
kniues
:
and
which
is
more
rude
,
they
defaced
the
Kitchin
,
and
tooke
away
all
the
Timber
of
it
.
While
they
kept
this
coyle
,
Ferdinand
and
the
Electors
are
euery
one
at
their
owne
Tables
.
The
Well
before
the
Court
,
made
in
the
manner
of
a
rocke
,
beganne
to
flow
with
redde
and
white
wine
,
out
of
the
mouth
of
an
Eagle
with
two
heads
crowned
,
which
was
placed
betweene
two
Lyons
bearing
the
Ornaments
of
the
Empire
,
the
Scepter
,
the
Globe
and
Sword
.
Now
the
wine
ranne
out
of
this
Eagle
in
great
abundance
for
three
houres
together
,
being
receiued
into
two
vessels
of
exceeding
great
quantitie
,
as
many
as
would
hauing
liberty
to
draw
and
drinke
of
it
as
much
as
they
would
,
till
at
last
,
by
the
rage
of
the
giddy
multitude
,
they
in
vaine
striuing
against
them
who
were
appointed
to
keepe
it
,
the
Well
was
borne
downe
,
and
the
Eagle
,
with
the
Lions
,
and
all
other
Ornaments
of
it
were
caryed
away
.
The
Royall
Dinner
continued
till
fiue
of
the
clocke
in
the
after-noone
with
great
solemnitie
and
ioy
.
The

departed
from
that
Court
to
his
owne
Royall
Palace
,
the
Electors
accompanying

some
few
