Anno
1620.
the
Court
remoued
from
Prague
to
Brandis
or

,
(
being
three
miles
distant
)
on
the
riuer
Elb
,
neere
where
the
riuer
Gitzera

the
Elb

where
the
Prince
the
next
day
following
,
taking
his
leaue
of
the
King
and
Queen
his
father
and
mother
,
and
being
royally
attended
,
set
forwards
towards
Barlene
,
the
chiefe
residence
of
the
Marquesse
Elector
of
Brandenburg
his
vncle
.
Although
the
passages
were
too
full
of
souldiers
for
him
to
goe
the
neerest
way
:
for
which
cause
,
and
for
the
better
commodity
of
lodging
,
shaping
his
course
from
Prage
full
North
;
on
the
thirteenth
of
September
hee
set
out
from
Brandis
:
which
Towne
being
no
great
State
,
is
in
the
same
longitude
and
latitude
with
Prage
,
that
is
,
29.
and
46.
and
some
odde
minutes
,
and
vpon
the
great
and
faire
riuer
of
Elbe
or
Albis
,
which
the
Bohemians
call
Labe
;
which
we
passing
,
came
the
same
day
to
Wieswasser
,
which
signifies
in
English
White
water
,
the
Bohemians
call
it
Biela
:
an
ancient
City
it
is
,
and
though
it
be
situated
in
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
yet
is
this
with
diuers
others
vnder
a
particular
gouernment
of
some
of
the
ancient
Nobility
of
that
Country
:
this
City
is
fiue
miles
from
Brandis
,
eight
from
Prage
.
Hereabouts
are
also
(
almost
)
continuall
great
waldts
or
woods
,
which
marching
from
the
banks
almost
of
the
riuer
Elbe
,
East
and
West
,
tend
euen
to
the
borders
of
the
vpper
Lusatia
,
which
is
one
of
the
incorporated
Prouinces
belonging
to
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
:
At
this
Wiswasser
the
Prince
was
met
by
the
Inhabitants
,
and
brought
into
the
Castle
,
and
there
by
the
Burgraues
appointment
(
himselfe
being
through
sicknesse
vnable
to
come
to
waite
vpon
the
Prince
)
hee
was
for
that
night
entertained
by
the
Citizens
with
very
good
obseruance
.
The
next
morning
being
the
14.
of
September
,
the
Citizens
brought
him
on
his
way
with
an
able
Conuoy
of
150.
horse
and
foot
,
till
hee
past
out
of
Bohemia
into
Leutznatz
or
Lusatia
;
where
at
his
first
entrance
the
townsmen
of
Gabel
met
him
,
the
chiefe
of
which
company
in
the
name
of
the
townsmen
made
a
complementall
Oration
,
intimating
their
faithfull
loues
,
and
his
most
hearty
welcome
vnto
them
.
The
Oration
being
ended
,
hee
was
conducted
by
them
towards
Gabel
.
Within
halfe
a
miles
riding
he
was
met
by
a
troope
of
horse
,
being
about
150.
which
were
sent
from
the
Marquesse
of
Iegerensdorf
.
Here
the
Conuoy
of
Wiswasser
returned
backe
,
and
this
troope
brought
him
to
the
towne
of
Gabel
,
here
the
Prince
dined
.
This
Gabel
is
one
of
the
first
good
townes
on
the
borders
of
Lusatia
towards
Bohemia
;
it
stands
neere
vnto
the
riuer
of
Niesse
one
of
the
chiefe
Floods
of
Lusatia
,
which
rises
not
farre
from
hence
.
From
hence
departing
after
dinner
,
about
a
mile
off
from
the
Towne
,
he
was
met
by
a
second
troupe
of
horse
,
sent
also
from
the
said
Marquesse
of
Iegerensdorf
,
by
which
troupes
his
Highnesse
was
conuoyed
to
the
City
of
Zittaw
or
Sittaw
,
standing
vpon
the
riuer
of
Niesse
.
At
the
entrance
whereof
,
he
was
receiued
by
two
other
troopes
of
horse
,
and
three
companies
of
foot
,
besides
the
Citizens
themselues
standing
all
in
their
Armes
on
each
side
,
with
musicke
of
Trumpets
on
the
Cathedrall
Church
,
and
Haultboyes
on
the
tower
of
the
Statehouse
,
which
sounded
vntill
the
Prince
was
entred
into
his
lodging
.
Before
which
,
by
commandement
of
the
towne
,
was
placed
a
strong
Guard
of
both
horse
and
foot
,
besides
two
companies
of
foot
placed
within
the
gates
in
the
Court
,
for
defence
of
his
person
.
And
at
each
gate
of
the
City
for
that
night
was
set
an
extraordinary
strong
Court
of
Guard
both
of
horse
and
foot
,
the
times
being
then
dangerous
,
because
the
Duke
of
Saxony
was
then
in
Armes
,
and
held
his
Leaguer
before
the
City
of
Baultzen
,
within
foure
miles
to
the
North-West
of
that
place
,
vpon
the
riuer
of
Spre
;
and
we
were
now
vpon
the
borders
of
Meissen
,
which
is
one
of
the
Duke
of
Saxonies
Countries
,
and
confines
vpon
Lusatia
,
by
a
long
tract
of
ground
.
And
thus
farre
euen
from
Prage
in
Bohemia
vnto
Zittaw
in
Lusatia
,
our
Court
was
full
North.
But
the
next
day
being
the
15.
of
September
,
departing
from
thence
,
we
tooke
vp
vpon
the
right
hand
more
towards
the
East
,
setting
forward
towards
Gorlitz
,
which
also
stands
vpon
the
riuer
of
Niess
aforesaid
,
which
riuer
rising
in
the
Country
of
Miessen
(
I
take
it
)
east-ward
of
Gabel
,
passeth
by
Zittaw
,
Gorlitz
,
and
so
north-ward
through
both
the
Lusatiaes
,
till
it
fals
into
the
Oder
,
which
parts
Lusatia
from
Silesia
.
On
the
way
towards
this
Gorlitz
,
(
the
Princes
horses
being
almost
wearied
)
he
was
met
by
certaine
Coaches
and
diuers
troopes
of
horse
,
sent
from
the
Marquesse
of
Iegerensdorf
,
who
in
that
time
of
warre
had
his
chiefe
residence
in
that
City
.
This
guard
tooke
vp
both
sides
of
the
way
for
a
mile
and
a
halfe
together
:
and
within
halfe
a
mile
off
the
City
,
the
Marquesse
himselfe
in
person
met
the
Prince
,
accompanied
with
4000
horse
and
foote
.
And
within
a
quarter
of
a
mile
off
the
City
,
he
was
receiued
by
the
Citizens
,
ranging
themselues
in
armour
on
both
sides
the
way
,
their
order
extending
euen
to
the
very
entrance
of
the
Marquesse
his
Palace
.
For
the
Princes
better
contentment
,
the
souldiers
were
all
commanded
to
march
by
in
Battaglia
and
warlike
order
,
with
Drummes
,
Fifes
,
and
Ensignes
displayed
.
After
all
which
the
Prince
was
by
the
Marquesse
and
all
his
Councell
most
royally
feasted
.
He
was
lodged
in
the
Palace
in
a
most
faire
chamber
,
richly
furnished
,
and
cut
with
antique
works
of
great
art
and
beauty
.
At
this
good
entertainment
we
stayed
two
nights
and
two
dayes
.
This
Gorlitz
is
the
chiefe
towne
of
the
vpper
Lusatia
,
and
a
fayre
and
a
strong
one
it
is
,
as
being
naturally
defended
,
partly
by
his
mountainous
situation
,
and
by
the
nearnesse
of
the
Riuer
of
Neiss
,
ouer
which
it
hath
a
commodious
&
well
couered
wooden
Bridge
.
The
Church
of
S.
Peters
is
a
very
fayre
peece
,
as
is
also
the
Tower
of
the
State-house
.
On
the
third
day
after
being
the
1●
.
of
September
,
the
Marquesse
with
all
his
traine
and
troopes
,
brought
his
Highnes
halfe
a
mile
out
of
Towne
,
and
there
solemnly
taking
his
leaue
,
parted
with
him
,
commanding
his
Troopes
to
goe
on
with
the
Prince
,
and
to
convoy
him
to
a
garison-Town
of
his
called
Lauben
,
which
is
to
the
East-ward
of
Gorlitz
,
and
something
out
of
the
way
.
At
our
approach
within
two
miles
of
the
town
,
we
might
behold
the
Souldiers
both
Horse
and
Foot
drawne
forth
in
two
diuisions
,
the
Horse
in
one
,
and
the
Foot
in
the
other
,
and
both
ranged
in
battell-aray
.
The
reason
of
this
demeanour
,
was
a
iealousie
of
some
treachery
which
they
conceiued
to
be
intended
against
their
Garison
,
for
that
the
night
before
the
Princes
Quarter-master
being
sent
before
,
to
giue
them
intelligence
of
his
Highnes
comming
,
they
supposed
him
to
haue
bin
a
spy
,
and
clapt
him
vp
close
prisoner
,
lading
him
with
irons
.
These
troops
and
companies
of
Garison
Souldiers
being
afarre
off
discouered
,
bred
also
the
same
iealousie
of
them
in
vs
,
as
our
approach
did
of
vs
in
them
,
either
part
hauing
a
misprision
of
the
others
intentions
.
Whereupon
it
was
resolued
to
send
a
Trumpet
before
,
with
certaine
Gentlemen
,
to
giue
and
take
satisfaction
on
eyther
side
.
Whereupon
they
being
better
satisfied
,
and
all
mistrust
being
quite
taken
away
,
the
chiefe
Burgers
of
the
Towne
aduanced
forwards
,
and
comming
to
the
Prince
,
they
kist
his
Highnes
hand
:
And
after
some
solemne
Speech
of
entertainment
,
with
their
excuse
alleaged
,
for
their
late
behauiour
,
imputing
the
same
to
the
danger
of
the
time
,
and
their
vnexpected
and
sodaine
notice
of
his
arriuall
,
the
Prince
mounted
on
horse-backe
,
&
rode
cleare
through
their
troops
towards
the
Towne
:
and
hauing
past
them
,
the
horse
and
foot
discharged
three
vollies
of
shot
for
his
welcome
:
&
comming
to
the
gates
of
the
town
he
was
receiued
by
a
guard
of
towne-dwellers
,
and
by
them
conueyed
to
his
place
of
rest
,
where
for
that
day
he
dined
,
where
also
the
Marquesse
of
Iegerensdorfs
Conuoy
of
horse
left
vs
,
and
returned
to
Gorlitz
.
This
towne
of
Lauben
is
situated
vpon
the
banks
of
the
Riuer
Queis
,
which
also
runnes
into
the
Oder
,
and
is
neare
vnto
the
borders
of
Silesia
,
and
vnto
a
necke
of
land
which
thrusts
out
from
Bohemia
also
,
which
being
very
narrow
at
Gabel
,
we
touched
vpon
Miessen
the
Duke
of
Saxonies
Country
.
This
Lauben
is
in
the
frontiers
(
as
it
were
)
both
of
Bohemia
on
the
South-side
,
and
Silesia
on
the
East
,
it selfe
being
the
vtmost
towne
of
the
vpper
Lusatia
,
which
makes
the
Garison
to
stand
more
warily
vpon
their
guard
.
After
dinner
he
was
conducted
out
of
the
same
Towne
by
a
troope
of
horse
of
the
towne
garison
,
which
waited
vpon
his
Highnes
,
till
hee
came
to
the
Citie
of
Limberge
in
Silesia
,
which
town
stands
vpon
the
Riuer
of
Bober
,
and
not
farre
from
the
riuer
Queis
aforesaid
.
But
before
he
came
neare
the
Citie
,
the
Prince
was
met
by
a
troope
of
horse
from
thence
,
in
the
middest
of
whom
he
was
conueiged
to
his
lodging
in
the
towne
,
which
was
one
of
the
chiefe
Burgers
houses
,
where
they
placed
a
strong
guard
at
the
doore
,
for
the
safety
of
his
person
.
This
was
vpon
a
Saturday
at
night
.
That
day
(
his
Highnes
comming
thither
being
knowne
abroad
in
the
country
)
all
the
young
Nobility
and
Gentry
thereabouts
came
in
to
see
the
Prince
,
and
to
wait
vpon
his
Highnes
at
table
at
Supper-time
,
so
that
all
the
Princes
seruants
were
for
that
time
dismissed
from
their
attendance
vpon
him
.
The
next
day
being
Sunday
,
and
Septemb.
19.
the
Prince
mounted
on
horse-backe
,
the
Nobilitie
going
before
him
on
foot
,
and
their
children
on
each
side
,
with
the
troops
of
horse
and
Foot
attending
.
In
which
stately
and
solemne
manner
his
Highnes
rode
to
Church
,
and
heard
a
Sermon
.
Whence
being
returned
,
he
dined
with
the
Nobility
.
After
dinner
the
same
day
,
he
was
by
them
and
their
troops
conducted
to
the
Citie
of
Somponsel
,
where
he
was
most
nobly
entertayned
of
the
Citizens
.
So
soon
as
the
Prince
was
discouered
by
the
Watch
vpon
their
Towers
,
they
sounded
their
Trumpets
,
and
beat
vp
their
great
kettle-Drums
,
continuing
so
vntill
he
came
to
the
gates
.
Where
as
soone
as
he
was
entred
,
the
Towns-men
making
a
guard
of
themselues
,
gaue
the
Prince
a
lusty
volley
of
shot
for
his
welcome
.
Then
with
the
sound
of
Corners
and
Haultboyes
he
was
entertained
to
his
lodging
.
At
the
entrance
whereof
the
Towns-men
gaue
him
another
volley
of
shot
,
and
placing
a
strong
court
of
guard
for
that
night
before
his
lodging
,
departed
.
The
20.
of
Sept.
the
Nobilitie
tooke
their
leaue
of
the
Prince
,
and
the
Towns-men
waited
vpon
him
with
a
conuoy
to
a
place
called
Crozan
,
or
Crossen
,
where
his
Highnes
dined
.
After
dinner
the
same
Conuoy
brought
him
through
till
hee
came
to
a
citie
called
Friestadt
,
which
is
not
farre
from
the
borders
of
Poland
,
and
lyes
to
the
North
the
riuer
Oder
,
running
between
this
part
of
Silesia
and
Poland
,
through
the
Duchy
of
Crossen
,
which
is
finally
parted
from
hence
by
a
ledge
of
woody
mountaines
,
tending
north-west
and
by
north
by
a
long
tract
to
the
East-ward
Here
the
troopes
of
Somponsel
left
him
,
and
returned
homewards
,
the
Souldiers
both
horse
and
foote
of
Friestadt
receiuing
him
into
their
rankes
in
warlike
order
.
All
which
by
reason
it
was
late
and
darke
,
was
done
by
the
Citizens
by
torch-light
:
by
whom
hee
was
gallantly
conducted
to
his
lodging
,
where
he
rested
for
that
night
.
This
being
the
last
towne
we
lay
at
in
Silesia
,
the
next
day
being
the
21.
of
September
,
the
Prince
being
conuoyed
by
some
horse
of
the
towne
,
wee
entred
into
the
Brandenburgher
marck
,
that
is
,
the
marches
or
borders
of
the
land
of
Brandenburg
,
through
which
we
passed
on
to
the
City
of
Franckford
vpon
Oder
,
so
called
,
to
distinguish
it
from
the
other
Franckford
which
is
neere
to
the
Palatinate
,
where
the
great
Mart
is
twice
a
yeare
kept
;
which
is
also
called
Franckford
vpon
Maine
,
because
that
that
stands
vpon
the
riuer
of
Maine
,
as
this
doth
vpon
the
riuer
of
Oder
.
This
last
towne
being
vnder
the
gouernment
of
the
Marquesse
Elector
of
Brandenburg
,
the
chiefe
Citizens
at
the
Princes
arriuall
(
according
to
their
wonted
manner
to
noble
strangers
)
presented
their
loues
in
huge
flaggons
of
wine
(
which
growes
here
)
and
banquetting
stuffe
,
to
the
Prince
;
their
flaggons
being
so
much
the
greater
,
in
regard
of
their
loues
to
the
Duchesse
of
Brandenburg
their
Princesse
,
who
is
Aunt
to
the
Prince
.
This
being
moreouer
the
generall
courtesie
of
the
great
Cities
of
Germany
,
to
present
their
loues
to
all
Princes
their
friends
,
and
Ambassadors
of
Princes
,
with
an
Oration
,
the
Burgers
bring
each
of
them
a
great
bottle
of
wine
,
which
hangs
by
a
ringle
vpon
his
arme
;
and
if
hee
hath
any
businesse
or
Embassie
to
their
State
,
they
send
him
also
Oates
and
Fish
.
This
Franckford
is
esteemed
the
third
towne
of
worth
in
the
Country
,
and
being
vpon
the
very
North
west
angle
of
Silesia
,
and
about
some
14.
yeares
before
our
being
there
(
viz.
Anno
1606.
)
was
made
an
Vniuersity
by
Ioachim
Marquesse
of
Brandenburg
:
the
Oder
runnes
vpon
the
East
side
,
the
other
parts
are
fenced
in
by
the
mountaines
.
From
hence
vpon
the
22
of
September
wee
set
forwards
towards
Ruttersdorp
,
but
the
way
being
waste
ground
,
and
without
habitation
,
wee
were
faine
to
haue
our
prouision
carried
along
with
vs
,
and
dined
that
day
at
a
Boers
house
.
The
same
night
his
Highnesse
came
to
the
village
of
Ruttersdorp
,
where
he
lodged
in
the
Castle
,
both
which
belong
vnto
the
Marquesse
of
Brandenburg
.
At
this
place
(
the
Marquesse
himselfe
being
then
in
Prussia
or
Pruce
land
)
the
Prince
was
faine
for
that
night
to
content
himselfe
with
such
entertainment
as
the
place
could
afford
.
But
the
Marchionesse
being
certified
of
the
Prince
her
Nephewes
being
there
,
sent
post
all
night
,
with
plate
and
other
prouision
;
which
made
so
good
speed
,
that
by
the
morning
there
was
store
of
furniture
,
and
by
break-fast
time
very
good
variety
of
prouision
of
all
sorts
;
which
was
a
strange
change
,
and
a
sudden
alteration
,
ouer
night
to
be
serued
in
vessels
of
Tin
,
and
in
the
morning
to
haue
a
Cupbord
of
Plate
.
And
thus
by
the
Duchesse
noble
care
,
the
Princes
supper
was
well
mended
,
by
a
full
and
sufficient
break-fast
.
This
Marchionesse
of
Brandenburg
is
named
Elizabetha
Charlotta
,
daughter
to
Fredericke
the
fourth
Prince
Elector
Palatine
;
and
sister
to
the
prelent
King
of
Bohemia
,
the
Princes
father
.
After
which
the
23
:
of
September
hee
set
on
towards
Berlin
,
the
Court
of
the
Marquesse
,
and
ordinary
place
of
his
residence
.
The
Duchesse
hearing
of
his
aproach
,
by
a
Post
which
the
Prince
dispatcht
to
her
aforehand
,
to
giue
her
Highnesse
notice
of
his
being
so
nigh
;
the
Duchesse
sent
forth
her
brother
Prince
Lodowicke
,
Duke
of
Simmern
,
and
vncle
to
the
Prince
,
together
with
a
young
Polish
Duke
(
whose
father
had
beene
banished
out
of
Poland
)
and
Count
Philip
van
Solmes
,
who
all
with
a
faire
traine
came
to
meet
the
Prince
,
of
whom
,
after
most
ioyfull
and
mutuall
salutations
,
he
was
brought
into
the
Palace
,
where
his
Highnesse
with
the
rest
of
his
followers
were
most
nobly
welcomed
,
and
royally
feasted
.
This
gallant
young
Prince
,
vncle
to
our
Prince
Fredericke
,
is
stiled
Lodowicke
Philip
,
Count
Palatine
,
&c.

1602.
had
the
two
Dukedomes
of
Simmern
,
Lautern
,
with
the
Country
of
Sponheim
assigned
him
for
his
portion
,
by
his
fathers
Testament
;
which
was
confirmed
vnto
him
by
the
Emperour
Rodulphus
the
second
:
he
going
vp
with
his
brother
into
Bohemia
,
had
all
his
country
&
goods
taken
from
him
by
Spinola
in
the
Palatinate
:
hee
went
from
Prage
to
Berlin
before
Prince
Fredericke
,
where
they
now
meeting
,
went
into
the
Low-Countries
together
.
Here
we
abode
ten
dayes
,
hauing
as
great
variety
of
entertainment
,
as
that
time
of
mourning
would
permit
.
For
the
old
Marquesse
Elector
being
lately
deceased
,
and
the
houshold
and
whole
Court
all
in
mourning
,
and
the
day
of
the
Funerall
drawing
neere
,
was
not
a
time
of
mirth
or
masking
.
In
our
stay
here
,
this
one
thing
was
exceeding
well
worth
the
seeing
and
remembring
,
which
was
this
;
The
time
of
the
Funerall
growing
,
the
vault
in
the
great
Church
was
opened
,
where
Marquesses
Electors
of
Brandenburg
still
vse
to
be
enterred
.
The
Prince
and
all
we
of
his
traine
were
brought
in
to
see
the
place
;
going
downe
into
which
,
there
was
an
obiect
of
State
Antiquity
and
much
reuerence
,
namely
,
the
bodies
of
16
Princes
embaulmed
in
Coffins
of
Tin
,
and
laid
by
three
and
three
on
the
top
of
each
other
,
with
their
swords
and
spurs
hanging
by
them
:
which
also
besides
the
worth
of
the
present
sight
,
showes
also
the
antiquity
of
the
succession
since
the
choice
of
that
place
of
buriall
.
The
Funerall
was
appointed
to
be
fiue
dayes
after
the
Princes
departure
,
which
was
now
at
hand
.
After
ten
dayes
stay
therefore
,
on
the
3.
of
October
the
Prince
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Marchionesse
Electoresse
his
Aunt
,
and
of
the
rest
of
the
Court
,
and
departed
out
of
Berlin
;
and
being
accompanied
with
Prince
Lodowick
his
Vncle
,
and
Count
Philip
van
Solmes
,
who
from
hence
iournied
with
him
all
the
way
,
and
neuer
left
him
till
he
came
into
Holland
;
they
arriued
the
first
night
at
an
old
City
and
a
strong
Castle
called
Spandaw
,
for
now
from
Berlin
we
turned
about
again
on
the
left
hand
and
full
West
:
the
riuer
of
Spre
vpon
which
Berlin
is
situated
,
being
betwixt
that
City
and
this
Spandaw
.
Here
the
Prince
lodged
all
night
,
his
prouisions
and
entertainments
being
all
made
at
the
charges
of
the
Marchionesse
Electoresse
.
This
Spandaw
stands
neere
the
conscience
of
the
two
riuers
Havel
and
Spre
.
The
next
day
being
the
4.
of
October
,
the
Princes
dined
at
a
place
called
Sando
,
and
the
same
night
they
lodged
at
a
Dorpe
called
Bernese
;
which
because
they
be
places
of
no
great
account
,
I
therefore
passe
them
ouer
without
any
more
description
of
them
.
The
5.
of
October
the
Princes
dyned
at
the
Citty
of
Ratenaw
,
which
stands
by
the
Riuer
of
Hauell
,
beyond
this
Citty
,
and
to
the
North
or
Northwest
loses
himselfe
and
his
name
in
the
greater
Elue
or
Albis
.
After
dinner
they
set
forwards
againe
,
and
came
that
night
to
the
Castle
of
Tungermund
on
the
Riuer
Elue
.
The
place
is
something
old
,
but
what
it
is
,
is
in
the
Marquesse
of
Brandenburgs
Dominions
.
The
next
day
being
the
6.
of
October
,
the
Princes
passed
through
the
Forest
of
Neslingham
,
where
they
also
hunted
;
and
that
night
they
lay
at
the
Marquesses
Lodge
in
the
Forrest
:
and
thus
farre
the
Marchionesse
sent
her
plate
,
furniture
,
and
seruants
to
attend
the
Princes
,
and
feasted
them
hitherto
at
her
own
charges
.
Which
from
hence
being
the
boundary
of
the
Marquisate
on
that
side
,
returned
home
againe
towards
Berline
.
And
all
this
while
we
held
our
course
full
West
from
Berline
.
By
the
West-side
of
this
Forest
runs
the
Riuer
Ohre
,
which
we
passed
.
The
next
day
being
the
7.
of
October
,
they
entred
into
Brunswick
Land
,
and
dyning
at
a
Towne
called
Caluer
,
they
came
the
same
night
to
a
Colledge
of
Lutherans
called
Miriando
:
where
the
Rector
would
not
open
his
gates
to
receiue
the
Princes
,
vntil
he
heard
his
Princes
the
Duke
of
Brunswicks
pleasure
,
who
was
at
the
same
time
7.
miles
off
from
that
place
.
Here
we
stayed
2.
houres
and
aboue
,
in
a
terrible
storme
of
rayne
and
winde
,
vntill
a
Post
which
the
Princesse
had
dispatched
the
night
before
vnto
the
Duke
,
was
returned
.
Vpon
whose
arryuall
with
Letters
from
the
Duke
,
the
Princesse
were
receiued
with
all
fitting
respects
,
and
the
best
entertainement
that
the
place
could
afford
.
The
Rector
and
the
Society
excused
themselues
by
reason
of
the
times
,
which
were
dangerous
,
and
full
of
suspition
,
and
the
persons
of
the
Princes
vnknown
to
any
of
them
,
and
the
Colledge
it selfe
being
a
place
of
importance
.
A
tedious
night
this
was
and
a
could
,
and
some
were
wet
with
the
rayne
,
and
othersome
scapt
better
.
But
that
which
gaue
vs
some
comfort
,
was
;
that
about
midnight
there
came
another
Post
from
the
Duke
,
who
requested
the
Princes
to
stay
there
all
the
next
day
also
,
for
that
the
Duke
had
not
made
his
prouision
for
their
entertainement
at
his
Court
in
such
a
short
warning
.
And
in
the
meane
his
Highnes
sent
in
his
own
furniture
for
the
Princes
table
,
and
commanded
such
prouision
to
be
brought
in
,
as
the
Country
there
abouts
could
afford
,
so
that
we
had
there
the
next
day
by
dinner
time
,
all
things
fitting
for
entertainement
.
The
next
day
being
the
9.
of
October
,
the
Princes
left
the
Colledge
,
and
set
on
towards
Wolfenbuttell
,
the
chiefe
place
of
residence
of
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
,
&
where
the
Court
then
was
.
But
a
little
before
we
came
to
the
Citty
,
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
himselfe
,
with
the
L.
Chancellor
of
the
Duchy
,
diuers
of
the
priuy
Councell
,
with
many
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
,
came
forth
of
the
Towne
,
with
many
faire
Companies
of
horse
,
to
entertain
the
2.
Princes
,
&
so
went
along
together
with
them
into
the
Town
.
Within
which
were
diuers
Companies
of
Souldiers
with
full
Armies
vnder
their
seuerall
Ensignes
with
Colours
flying
,
with
Trumpets
sounding
,
Fifes
playing
,
&
Drums
beating
in
warlike
manner
,
very
gallant
to
behold
,
which
stood
along
vntill
wee
came
to
the
Castle
.
The
Hault-boyes
and
Cornets
playing
in
the
meane
time
from
of
the
top
of
a
Tower
,
and
a
peale
of
Ordinance
being
shot
off
at
their
entrance
into
the
Castle
.
The
Princes
were
led
into
very
stately
,
rich
,
and
fayer
Roomes
in
the
Castle
,
and
euery
where
in
the
house
there
Princely
plenty
and
variety
of
all
things
necessary
.
The
Princes
hauing
reposed
themselues
a
while
,
were
by
the
Duke
brought
into
the
Dutchesse
Chamber
,
who
being
allied
to
them
both
,
receiued
them
with
all
Ioy
and
contentment
.
Supper
time
being
come
,
the
Princes
were
againe
brought
into
a
wondrous
faier
roome
,
where
the
Tables
were
couered
and
great
state
vsed
according
to
the
German
fashion
of
entertainement
,
which
is
full
and
sumptuous
.
In
this
supping
place
,
there
was
a
roome
wherein
there
was
a
very
large
and
rich
Cupboard
of
plate
;
at
one
end
of
which
stood
the
musick
of
Instruments
and
voices
,
and
at
the
other
end
stood
the
Officers
of
the
Celler
and
Buttery
,
to
fill
wine
and
beer
to
the
table
.
For
here
is
beere
in
this
Country
which
is
rare
in
other
places
of
Germany
,
though
scarce
good
any
where
.
Yet
here
at
this
Wolfenbuttell
,
is
a
huge
vast
Tunne
,
larger
then
that
of
Heidleberg
,
but
this
is
filled
with
Brunswick
beer
,
as
that
other
with
Rhenish
wine
.
There
were
also
6.
other
tables
,
where
the
2.
Princes
seruants
did
eate
,
the
Dukes
own
Gentlemen
bearing
them
company
,
which
time
and
the
whole
three
daies
that
we
staied
here
at
this
Royal
entertainment
was
spent
with
great
mirth
,
iollity
and
extraordinary
show
of
magnificence
,
bounty
,
and
courtesie
;
al
which
excellent
well
became
a
kinsman
and
a
Prince
.
The
present
Duke
of
Brunswicks
name
is
,
Fredericus
Vlricus
,
he
was
born
the
5.
of
April
1591.

1619
,
&
sister

Georgius
Wilhelmus
the
present
Prince
:
she
was
borne
March
17.
1598.
the
Dukes
alliance
with
the
Prince
comes
in
by
the
mothers
side
:
for
Anne
Queen
of
England
was
daughter
to
Frederick
the
2.
King
of
Denmark
;
as
was
also
Elizabeth
her
elder
sister
,
the

of
this
present
Duke
.
The
Dutchesses
alliance
with
the
Prince
comes
in
by
the
house
of
Brandenburg
,
of
which
she
is
descended
.
The

of
Brunswick
hath
as

noble
Champion
Christian
D.
of
Brunswick
,
and
Bishop
of
Halberstadt
:
he
hath
or

also
5.
sisters
.
Leauing
therefore
this
Citty
the
14.
of
October
in
the
morning
,
the
same
day
they
came
to
a
place
called
Stanberge
,
where
the
Princes
dyned
at
the
Dukes
charges
.
The
same
night
they
lodged
at
a
place
called
Collenberge
,
which
stands
vpon
the
West

of
the
Riuer
of

.
The
15.
day
the
2.
Princes
dyned

Hamelen
which
is

the
Riuer
of
Wester
,
and
on
the
East
side
.
After

they
went
to
Dalmel
,
where
they
lodged
.
And
thus
farre
the
Princes
was
feasted
and
furnished
whith
Plate
and
other
prouision
Royall
,
at
the
sole
cost
and
charges
of
his
Highnesse
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
,
who
is
elder
brother
to
Duke
Christian
of
Brunswick
,
Bishop
of
Halberstadt
the
famous
young
Warriour
;
and
this
Town
is
vpon
the
Confines
of
the
Duchy
of
Brunswick
,
which
is
bounded
on
the
West
by
the
Country
of
Westphalia
,
from
which
the
Weser
parts
it
.
Here
the
Dukes
Seruants
and
Officers
returned
from
the
Princes
backe
againe
to
Wolfenbuttell
.
This
Duchy
of
Brunswick
was
sometimes
accounted
to
Saxony
,
and
got
a
particular
and
distinct
name
from
Bruno
,
who
being
son
to
Ludolphus
Duke
of
Saxony
,
laid
the
foundations
of
Citty
in
this
Duchy
,
which
of
him
is
called
Brunswick
;
the
Dutchy
of
Luneburg
hath
also
been
possessed
by
the
Dukes
of
Brunswick
,
continuing
so
vntill
the
yeere
of
Christ
1430.
in
which
the
Country
was
diuided
between
William
the
victorious
,
who
had
the
title
of
Brunswicke
,
and
his
vncle
Bernard
,
who
had
the
title
of
Luneburg
:
in
whose
posterity
both
these
Dukedomes
still
remaine
,
the
Dukes
of
both
being
both
of
one
family
,
Brunswick
being
of
the
direct
line
,
the
elder
house
,
and
the
greater
Dukedome
.
The
chiefe
City
both
of
Brunswick
and
of
all
Saxony
,
is
the
Towne
of
Brunswick
,
which
giues
name
to
the
whole
Duchy
,
although
the
Court
be
most
commonly
kept
at
Wolfenbuttell
,
which
with
the
whole
Duchy
we
hauing
left
behind
vs
,
entred
next
into
Cleueland
.
The
16.
of
October
setting
out
somewhat
late
,
we

at
a

where
within

the
Towne
,
they

.
In
the
meane
space
it
was
consulted
vpon
for
the
Princes
safety
;
that
seeing
they
were
now
to
passe
by
diuers
Garrisons
of
the
Enemies
:
that
it
were
best
to
dispatch
a
Post
before
hand
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
to
certify
his
Excellency
of
the
Princesses
neerenes
,
which
was
also
done
.
Both
the
Armies
of
the
States
and
the
Spaniards
being
then
about
Wesel
.
Here
it
was
also
agreed
vpon
to
send
Prince
Lodowick
with
some
others
another
way
into
Holland
;
that
so
the
Country-people
might
be
satisfied
with
his
presence
in
stead
of
the
Princes
;
which
tooke
effect
accordingly
;
and
did
not
onely
giue
the
people
good
content
through
whom
he
passed
,
who
came
flocking
into
the
high
waies
to
see
him
;
but
also
diuerted
their
expectations
,
from
any
thought
of
his
passage
any
other
way
:
by
meanes
whereof
,
his
Highnes
the
Prince
of
Bohemia
passed
in
his
way
with
the
more
safety
and
secrecy
.
From
Spanburg
Castle
we
came
next
to
the
Castle
of
Arden
,
which
is
vnder
the
Graue
of
Benthem
;
and
so
by
Glandorpe
to
Mareling
,
where
we
lodged
all
night
.
From
whence
forward
the
Towns
being
neer
&
so
well
known
,
I
forbeare
to
make
any
further
description
of
them
,
but
onely
name
them
as
we
passe
through
them
.
From
thence
we
went
to
Russenbeck
;
from
thence
to
Embsbourne
;
from
thence
to
North-horne
;
from
thence
to
Hardenberg
,
where
we
lodged
.
From
thence
we
went
to
Realte
;
from
thence
to
Deuenter
in
Holland
,
where
we
met
with
the
Princes
againe
.
The
next
day
we
set
forwards
towards
Swoll
,
which
is
a
strong
Town
of
Garrison
;
where
we
staied
two
nights
and
one
day
.
And
here
the
Count
Ernest
van
Cassimere
(
who
comming
in
Post
from
the
Prince
of
Oranges
Leaguer
at
Wesel
,
had
before
met
with
the
Princes
)
receiued
the
Prince
into
his
charge
,
and
safe
protection
.
And
here
Prince
Lodowick
departed
from
his
Highnes
,
&
went
directly
towards
the
Hage
:
And
Prince
Frederick
kept
on
towards
Freezland
.
The
next
day
at
dinner
being
the
25.
of
October
,
wee
came
to
a
Citty
of
Garrison
called
Steenwick
,
where
his
Highnesse
was
met
by
the
Burgers
in
Armes
,
&
receiued
into
the
Town
with
a
volley
of
shot
,
and
comming
to
the
Castle
they
discharged
a
peale
of
Ordinance
for
his
welcome
:
and
all
marched
by
in
warlike
manner
in
the
Princes
view
.
From
thence
after
dinner
they
came
to
Wolfingow
,
where
they
rested
all
that
night
.
The
next
day
,
they
dined
at
Hernenfen
,
and
came
the
same
night
to
Luerden
in
Freezland
,
the
place
whether
at
his
first
setting
out
of
Prage
,
it
was
his
intention
to
goe
.
Here
the
chiefest
of
the
Town
met
the
Prince
on
Horseback
.
At
the
entrance
thereof
,
the
Ordinance
of
the
Citty
were
discharged
to
welcome
him
:
and
the
Burgers
within
the
Town
in
Armes
,
ranking
themselues
on
each
side
;
conueied
his
Highnes
to
the
Castle
being
the
Court
of
Count
Ernestus
van
Cassimerus
;
at
that
instant
time
,
being
receiued
in
succession
of
Count
William
of
Nassaw
his
brother
lately
deceased
,
for
Gouernour
of
Friezland
.
The
Prince
being
come
to
the
Court
,
and
brought
to
an
exceeding
faire
Chamber
,
beheld
all
the
Townsmen
marching
by
in
their
Armes
:
&
then
being
brought
to
the
Chamber
of
the
Countesse
,
he
was
there
most
Nobly
entertained
by
them
both
,
with
all
ioy
and
solemnity
.
And
thus
it
pleased
the
Almighty
God
to
leade
this
sweet
young
Princes
first
one
way
,
and
then
againe
another
way
,
now
through
friends
Countries
,
and
now
through
foes
,
as
from
Heidleberg
in
the
Palatinate
,
to
Prage
in
Bohemia
at
first
;
so
now
againe
from
Prage
to
Luerden
:
which
is
almost
round
about
the
middle
part
of
Germany
.
A
Iourney
by
Land
which
would
haue
tired
the
little
Iül●s
.
Which
two
,
as
they
may
hitherto
be
compared
together
for
their
high
birth
,
(
both
being
borne
of
gods
,
and
both
descended
from
Venus
)
and
their
early
trauels
,
and
in
the
losse
of
their
natiue
Countries
;
so
it
may
please
God
also
to
conclude
them
alike
in
this
too
:
that
it
may
be
said
hereafter
,
how
that
they
were
both
;
The
Fathers
of
a
race
of
Emperours
.
That
so
the
Townes
he
past
,
may
for
their
honours
say
,
Nere
,
Prince
,
King
,
Emperor
,
Frederick
Henry
lay
.
