CONTINVATION
OF
OVR
WEEKLY
newes
out
of
Italy
,
Hungary
,
Bohemia
,
Silesia
,
Austria
,
the
Pallatinate
,
Eischvelt
,
Westphalia
,
the
Low
Countries
,
and
other
places
of
the
vpper
and
lower
Germanie
.
COnditions
of
composition
hauing
bene
offered
vnto
Bethlem
Gabor
by
the
Emperour
,
and
for
ought
we
yet
heare
refused
(
as
wee
told
you
in
our
last
printed
,
Iuly
22
)
The
Emperour
being
now
at
last
,
either
much
wearied
,
or
more
weakned
with
the
warres
,
seemes
of
late
times
to
be
rather
willing
to
require
a
peace
,
then
at
leasure
to
expect
,
(
as
aforetimes
)
the
mediation
of
great
Princes
vnto
him
to
grant
it
.
So
that
there
were
the
last
yeere
scarce
more
Ambassadours
retaining
vpon
him
at
Vienna
,
then
he
hath
of
late
sent
abroad
vpon
his
owne
employments
.
Witnesse
those
messages
of
his
;
vnto
the
States
of
Hungary
,
to
perswade
with
them
for
their
constancy
;
vnto
the
Great
Turke
,
for
the
conseruing
of
the
peace
,
concluded
for
twentie
yeares
with
the
former
Emperor
Rodulphus
;
vnto
the
Duke
of
Saexonie
,
to
know
whither
he
were
to
expect
him
a
friend
,
foe
,
or
Neutrall
;
vnto
the
Princes
of
the
lower
Saxonie
,
to
desire
passage
for
Tilly
,
and
deniall
of
passage
to
Brunswick
:
and
lastly
vnto
Brunswick
himselfe
,
with
a
second
pardon
,
and
vnto
Mansfield
,
(
as
it
is
thought
)
with
some
promises
of
much
preferment
:
Of
all
which
we
shall
speake
as
we
haue
occasion
.
The
Emperors
present
and
most
apparent
hopes
,
seem
to
depend
vpon
Monsieur
Tilly
,
and
his
greatest
feares
in
Bethlem
Gabor
;
who
hauing
of
late
reassumed
the
Title
of
King
elect
of
Hungarie
,
which
he
is
said
to
haue
stamped
vpon
his
Coyne
,
and
to
haue
besides
his
owne
preparations
of
Hungars
and
Walachians
,
which
he
hath
mustered
,
and
with
them
aduanced
forwards
,
and
sent
the
Turkes
and
Tartars
vnto
Canisia
,
and
the
Borders
of
the
Empire
,
(
which
they
are
feared
to
be
ready
to
enter
,
so
soone
as
Haruest
is
off
the
ground
,
)
hee
is
further
beleeued
to
haue
agreed
with
the
Turkes
and
Tartars
in
another
place
,
that
they
for
the
diuersion
of
the
King
of
Polands
ayd
,
promised
by
him
vnto
his
Brother
in
Law
the
Emperour
,
and
fall
vpon
his
Lands
of
Podolia
;
which
as
they
haue
often
this
yeare
heretofore
made
inrodes
vpon
,
so
now
are
they
said
in
most
huge
multitudes
,
(
their
feares
in
Silesia
makes
them
report
,
that
there
are
200000
of
them
)
to
be
vpon
falling
in
once
againe
vpon
it
.
Besides
all
which
,
Bethlem
Gabor
is
thought
to
correspond
with
the
King
of
Sweden
,
who
vpon
the
expiration
of
the
truce
betwixt
him
and
Poland
,
is
said
to
haue
a
braue
Army
in
a
readinesse
,
for
the
raising
of
the
siege
of
Riga
,
which
t
is
said
that
the
young
Prince
of
Poland
is
to
besiege
presently
with
20000
men
.
Sweden
is
also
said
to
haue
a
faire
Fleet
,
with
23
shippes
,
of
which
as
some
Shippers
of
Amsterdam
that
loosed
from
Dantzick
,
Iune
29
,
and
Iuly
1
,
relate
;
That
the
King
of
Poland
and
his
sonne
being
then
to
be
entertained
by
the
Dantzickers
in
their
Towne
;
that
the
King
of
Sweden
lay
before
the
Riuer
about
Dantzick
,
with
23
shippes
,
or
as
others
say
,
with
28
:
many
of
which
were
furnished
with
28
faire
cast
pieces
of
Brasse
,
(
there
being
a
report
also
,
that
his
Maiestie
of
Sweden
himselfe
in
person
,
was
aboord
one
of
them
)
which
fleet
haling
all
ships
that
past
that
way
for
the
King
of
Sweden
;
did
strictly
and
seuerally
examine
all
the
Shippers
they
could
meet
with
,
and
arrested
the
ships
of
Poland
:
they
of
the
Fleet
of
Sweden
also
reported
,
that
their
King
had
an
Army
in
a
readinesse
for
the
defence
of
the
Country
of
Lituania
,
which
of
late
daies
he
tooke
from
the
Crowne
of
Poland
.
Thus
write
the
Letters
from
Amsterdam
,
Iuly
17.
Lastly
,
is
Bethlem
Gabor
affirmed
,
to
maintaine
neere
intelligence
with
Brunswick
and
Mansfield
,
that
so
the
Emperour
might
haue
worke
enough
on
all
sides
:
and
whosoeuer
(
finally
)
being
discontented
with
the
Emperour
,
and
repaires
to
him
,
he
entertaines
;
as
accounting
them
to
be
friends
sure
enough
to
him
,
and
foes
eager
enough
against
the
Emperor
,
whom
their
owne
priuate
interest
makes
to
be
so
.
For
preuention
of
all
which
,
the
Emperor
is
said
to
haue
sometimes
conceiued
a
very
good
hope
,
that
by
a
speedy
strengthning
of
Monsieur
Tilly
,
he
should
either
by
treatie
or
victory
conclude
time
enough
with
Brunswick
to
employ
Tilly
aboue
in
Bohemia
or
Silesia
,
which
hath
beene
most
of
the
reason
,
that
those
Cosacks
which
himselfe
meant
for
defence
of
those
Countries
,
were
by
himselfe
threatned
vnto
both
the
circuits
of
Saxonie
,
to
be
ready
to
be
sent
vnto
the
aid
of
Tilly
;
and
that
his
Camp
in
Bohemia
,
for
which
a
place
had
beene
laid
out
about
Coningsgraets
,
is
since
that
thought
fitter
to
be
formed
about
Egra
.
For
which
purpose
the
Collonell
Walsterp
was
about
the
end
of
Iune
,
come
from
Coningsgraets
to
Prage
,
with
Commission
from
the
Emperour
to
doe
it
.
Who
was
thereupon
to
haue
some
better
place
it
seemes
,
for
his
owne
Regiment
being
mustered
and
paid
,
hee
was
to
leaue
to
bee
commanded
by
the
Count
of
de
Nagrat
,
whose
Lieutenant
Colonell
,
one
Merote
was
to
be
.
About
which
businesse
also
the
Landtgraue
of
Lichtensteyne
,
Lord
Deputie
of
Bohemia
,
and
the
Count
of
Swartzenberg
,
were
instantly
to
repaire
vnto
Prage
,
to
consult
vpon
that
,
and
vpon
the
message
of
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Wurtzberg
,
who
had
then
sent
to
Prage
for
all
the
ayd
that
could
be
spared
out
of
Bohemia
,
to
be
forthwith
sent
downe
to
Monsieur
Tilly
,
who
expected
no
other
but
to
be
put
to
it
to
fight
presently
.
But
the
Count
of
Swartzenbergh
hauing
diuers
aduices
and
Letters
of
the
Emperour
about
him
,
is
said
to
haue
beene
killed
in
the
way
(
by
some
that
lay
for
the
purpose
)
and
his
packets
and
intelligence
taken
away
,
which
will
bring
forth
a
new
discouery
.
This
Count
of
Swartzenbergh
,
which
is
thus
said
to
be
killed
,
is
the
very
same
Gentleman
who
was
the
last
yeare
that
great
Ambassadour
from
the
Emperour
,
being
heere
in
London
feasted
and
entertained
.
As
for
the
two
aides
of
Cosacks
,
those
4000
which
came
to
offer
their
seruice
to
the
Emperour
,
they
lie
yet
in
Morauia
about
Brin
and
Iglaw
;
where
hauing
done
much
hurt
,
they
are
now
said
to
keepe
better
discipline
,
since
that
the
countrey
of
Austria
hath
beene
enforced
to
contribute
towards
their
victuals
,
and
that
they
haue
beene
receiued
into
the
pay
of
the
Bishop
of
Neus
,
who
is
the
Arch-Duke
Charles
,
brother
to
the
Emperor
.
But
for
those
other
12000
which
lay
aboue
,
betweene
the
Frontiers
of
Poland
,
Brandenburgh
,
and
Silesia
;
their
behauiour
was
so
good
,
that
the
Silesians
raised
10000
men
to
withstand
their
passage
;
which
they
offering
to
force
,
the
Silesians
killed
diuers
of
the
Cosacks
;
the
Elector
of
Brandenburgh
likewise
,
and
the
Duke
of
Pomeren
,
haue
commanded
their
subiects
from
man
to
man
,
to
make
vp
towards
the
Cosacks
quarters
;
and
if
they
shall
offer
to
forage
or
burne
the
Villages
,
as
they
haue
done
,
to
cut
the
throats
of
them
.
And
this
is
the
truth
of
the
Emperors
warlike
and
apparent
preparations
for
resisting
of
Bethlem
Gabor
.
The
State
of
Hungary
is
distracted
and
hath
not
as
yet
agreed
vpon
the
choice
of
their
Pallatine
for
this
yeere
:
The
Campe
in
Bohemia
,
is
for
suspicion
of
Brunswicks
making
vpwards
,
drawne
downe
to
Egra
further
from
Hungary
,
and
neerer
to
Brunswick
;
(
as
being
in
the
very
confines
of
Bohemia
,
next
to
the
Dominions
of
Bauaria
and
Saxony
,
and
close
vpon
the
vpper
Pallatinate
;
)
much
of
which
Army
is
also
(
for
the
time
)
to
be
diuided
,
by
sending
aid
out
of
it
to
Monsieur
Tilly
;
and
for
the
Auxiliarie
Cosacks
,
you
see
in
what
distresse
they
are
themselues
.
Here
are
the
helps
,
that
the
Silesians
haue
now
10000
men
(
which
whether
they
purpose
or
shall
be
able
to
continue
in
the
Emperours
seruice
,
or
whether
they
gathered
them
onely
vpon
this
occasion
to
withstand
the
Cosacks
,
we
cannot
tell
.
)
And
for
supply
of
money
,
there
is
a
new
Imposition
,
and
that
a
greater
one
,
laid
vpon
Morauia
and
Silesia
,
(
as
for
Lusatia
which
should
contribute
with
them
,
it
is
you
heare
sequestred
into
the
hands
of
the
Duke
of
Saxony
.
They
of
Silesia
being
to
pay
fiue
florins
a
month
,
for
euery
Citizen
,
and
euery
Countrey
man
or
Boer
two
and
a
halfe
.
The
confiscated
goods
of
the
Protestants
in
Bohemia
and
those
parts
may
yeeld
some
addition
of
treasure
;
which
businesse
goes
now
forward
very
earnestly
;
And
that
course
which
is
taken
with
the
Iewes
both
at
Vienna
and
Prague
,
is
likely
to
bring
in
a
fairer
Entrato
and
a
good
round
summe
.
For
the
Iewes
are
in
the
end
of
Iune
,
in
both
these
cities
warned
,
either
to
turne
to
the
Catholike
Religion
;
or
else
out
of
hand
to
pay
so
much
moneys
for
the
entertainment
of
the
Emperours
Armies
,
and
in
case
they
refuse
to
doe
either
,
they
are
commanded
presently
to
auoid
the
land
,
this
is
written
from
Vienna
Iune
28
,
&
29.
And
thus
haue
Christian
Princes
,
still
in
their
necessitie
saued
themselues
vpon
the
Iewes
from
time
to
time
.
Now
for
the
countenancing
of
Monseur
Tilly
,
the
Emperour
hath
of
late
taken
diuers
courses
:
As
Iune
23.
he
sent
a
Poste
vnto
the
lower
Creitz
of
Saxony
,
once
more
to
require
a
finall
resolution
of
them
,
whether
they
were
purposed
to
grant
passage
vnto
his
enemies
through
their
Countries
or
not
,
(
meaning
Duke
Christian
of
Brunswicks
army
)
which
if
they
purposed
to
doe
,
he
then
threatned
them
with
the
sending
downe
of
the
Cossackes
towards
the
ayd
of
Monseur
Tilly.
And
for
this
answer
he
propounded
them
eight
dayes
,
that
is
,
by
the
eight
of
Iuly
,
as
they
write
from
Vienna
Iune
29.
The
same
message
was
also
sent
to
the
Elector
the
Duke
of
the
vpper
Saxony
,
of
whom
he
further
requires
to
be
certified
,
whether
by
his
army
which
hee
hath
now
gotten
together
,
he
now
meanes
peace
or
warre
towards
him
.
Vnto
other
States
of
the
Empire
,
who
haue
hitherto
shewed
themselues
for
him
,
hath
he
sent
other
messengers
,
to
desire
the
continuance
of
their
constancie
,
and
that
they
would
by
no
meanes
be
drawne
in
to
side
against
him
with
any
other
League
,
but
euery
way
to
oppose
his
enemies
.
And
Iune
27.
there
passed
an
Imperiall
Poste
through
Prage
,
with
Letters
towards
Count
Mansfield
and
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
to
draw
them
off
,
with
offer
of
pardon
and
new
promises
.
But
the
successe
of
the
Letters
may
well
be
iudged
,
by
the
time
of
their
deliuery
,
which
fell
out
to
be
iust
at
the
time
when
both
Mansfield
and
Brunswicke
were
newly
risen
with
their
armies
.
Of
the
sending
of
these
Letters
they
write
from
Prage
Iune
29.
And
that
it
may
not
seeme
strange
or
cheape
,
that
the
Emperour
would
vouchsafe
to
send
another
pardon
vnto
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
who
had
so
lately
refused
the
former
:
this
is
said
to
be
the
reason
,
namely
,
that
the
old
Duchesse
of
Brunswicke
,
Duke
Christians
mother
,
hauing
perswaded
her selfe
that
she
should
in
time
preuaile
with
her
Sonne
to
accept
it
,
had
already
assured
the
Emperour
,
that
hee
had
accepted
of
it
:
whereupon
the
new
pardon
was
drawne
,
signed
,
and
sent
:
which
being
deliuered
to
the
Duke
in
the
Camp
,
without
the
knowledge
of
any
such
vndertaking
of
his
mother
in
his
behalfe
,
he
first
receiued
and
read
so
farre
,
till
perceiuing
what
it
was
,
he
with
his
owne
hands
is
said
to
haue
cancelled
,
as
hee
had
done
the
former
.
To
make
this
pardon
(
it
seemes
)
to
take
the
sooner
,
Monseur
Tilly
had
Commission
likewise
to
demand
of
Duke
Christian
the
reason
of
his
aduancing
forwards
with
such
an
Army
,
and
required
in
the
name
of
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
his
direct
answer
within
eight
dayes
,
whether
it
were
for
the
Emperour
or
against
him
.
About
which
time
(
but
whether
vpon
confidence
of
the
former
vndertaking
of
the
old
Duchesse
or
no
,
we
know
not
,
or
vpon
hope
that
the
Princes
of
the
Lower
Creitz
of
Saxony
durst
not
deny
the
Emperour
any
thing
)
Monseur
Tilly
was
bold
,
by
directions
from
the
Emperour
,
to
require
passage
of
Duke
Vlrick
(
the
present
gouerning
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
Duke
Christians
elder
Brother
)
for
his
Army
to
passe
through
his
Countries
,
whereof
we
haue
here
giuen
you
the
true
Copies
.
To
the
Lord
Fredericke
Vlrick
,
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
Illustrious
high-borne
Prince
and
Gratious
Lord
.
I
Cannot
forbeare
in
most
humble
manner
to
certifie
your
Princely
Grace
,
that
there
is
great
appearance
,
how
your
Highnes
Brother
the
Duke
Christian
,
will
easily
giue
mee
occasion
to
seeke
passage
with
my
whole
Army
,
through
your
Lordships
Dominions
.
In
which
case
,
I
must
humbly
entreat
that
of
your
good
Grace
you
would
not
take
it
ill
,
If
I
seeke
passage
that
way
.
But
for
the
more
securitie
of
this
Army
,
and
that
his
Imperiall
Maiesties
Forces
may
not
be
stopped
,
hindred
or
molested
in
their
passage
,
(
but
rather
supplyed
with
victualls
and
all
other
necessaries
for
an
Army
,
that
they
may
keepe
ciuill
and
military
Discipline
the
better
,
and
haue
cause
to
fauour
your
Highnes
Subiects
the
more
)
I
desire
your
Lordship
gratiously
to
appoint
such
Officers
of
your
owne
,
in
all
places
,
as
may
prouide
vs
of
such
conuenient
necessaries
as
we
moderately
demand
,
or
otherwise
(
without
prescribing
me
or
limiting
the
manner
or
proportion
)
to
send
one
or
two
Commissaries
,
which
may
continually
attend
our
Army
for
the
seruice
aboue
required
:
I
am
confident
in
this
particular
,
that
according
to
your
former
sinceritie
euer
showne
towards
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
,
you
will
be
carefull
to
prouide
herein
to
satisfie
our
expectation
.
But
if
it
shall
otherwise
fall
out
,
that
any
annoyance
or
inconuenience
should
in
our
passage
light
vpon
any
of
your
Subiects
,
(
which
I
could
most
willingly
desire
might
by
a
good
and
timely
order
,
by
you
to
bee
giuen
,
bee
by
all
meanes
preuented
and
eschewed
)
your
Excellency
shall
not
haue
cause
to
impute
these
disturbances
vnto
me
:
for
which
reason
I
would
not
omit
to
giue
you
timely
notice
by
these
my
Letters
.
And
thus
humbly
taking
my
leaue
,
I
commend
me
with
all
submission
vnto
your
princely
Excellency
.
Your
Highnes
obedient
,
Iohn
Count
of
Tilly.
These
Letters
of
the
Generall
,
being
receiued
,
read
,
wondred
at
,
and
considered
vpon
,
an
answer
as
sudden
as
the
cause
required
,
was
forthwith
returned
to
the
Bauarian

The
Dukes
Letters
bearing
this
Superscription

which
is

To
Iohn
Count
Thordas
of
Tilly
,
Baron
of
Worbiese
,
Valester
,
and
Wantigen
,
Generall
of
the
Emperour

The

Letters
were

,
Fredericke

OVr
fauour
and

.
(
High-borne
and
especially
beloued
)
your
Letters
dated
at
Eschwegen
the
19.
of
Iune
,
Stylo
novo
,
were
yesterday
deliuered
vnto
vs
by
your
Trumpet
,
by
whom
you
sent
them
:
although
the
deliuery
of
them
was
somewhat
after
an
vnusuall
fashion
,
the
messenger
approaching
our
wals
with
sounding
his
Trumpet
,
as
if
he
had
beene
in
an
enemies
Country
.
By
which
Letters
of
yours
,
we
to
our
great
wonder
vnderstood
,
how
that
your
intent
is
to
conduct
your
Army
through
this
Circuit
of
the
lower
Saxony
,
and
particularly
through
our
Country
;
you
pretending
that
our
beloued
Brother
Duke
Christian
of
Brunswicke
may
giue
you
occasion
to
seeke
this
passage
:
vnto
which
our
answer
is
,
that
as
concerning
our
Brother
we
hold
not
our selues
obliged
to
maintaine
any
of
his
actions
,
further
then
they
are
fitly
and
well
done
,
wherefore
wee
cannot
returne
answer
vnto
your
demands
for
passage
,
without
the
aduice
of
the
Princes
and
States
of
the
whole
Circuit
,
of
the
lower
Saxony
,
nor
before
their
generall
Dyett
or
Meeting
(
which
is
now
at
hand
)
be
finally
ended
.
In
the
meane
time
neuerthelesse
,
we
cannot
apprehend
how
our
Brother
the
Duke
Christian
should
giue
you
occasion
to
desire
such
a
passage
;
seeing
that
our
Brother
hath
not
hitherto
made
any
hostile
attempts
,
either
vpon
your selfe
or
any
man
else
;
but
containes
onely
his
army
within
his
owne
quarters
,
which
he
keepes
about
him
for
his
owne
securitie
;
being
in
the
meane
time
in
all
humility
and
subiection
,
in
expectation
of
further
extension
and
assecuration
of
the
Imperiall
pardon
.
But
if
whilest
this
treatie
be
in
hand
(
for
which
time
the
Princes
and
States
of
the
lower
Circuit
of
Saxony
,
haue
most
humbly
entreated
his
Imperiall
Maiestie
to
stay
and
suspend
all
further
execution
)
you
shall
of
your selfe
against
all
promise
and
faith
giuen
(
as
is
apparent
vpon
record
)
offer
to
surprise
or
set
vpon
him
and
our
lands
,
we
will
not
beleeue
it
to
bee
done
by
the
consent
of
the
Emperour
our
most
mercifull
Lord
;
who
,
in
consideration
of
all
our
sincere
intentions
,
and
most
faithfully
deuoted
seruices
performed
towards
him
,
will
not
suffer
so
many
faithfull
promises
and
high
assurances
to
be
called
in
question
or
mistrusted
.
And
in
such
a
case
we
nothing
doubt
,
that
wee
are
likely
in
equitie
to
incurre
either
blame
or
displeasure
,
if
vpon
our
owne
vrgent
necessitie
,
wee
make
it
manifest
vnto
the
world
,
how
wee
are
driuen
and
constrained
to
fail
off
from
our
due
obedience
,
and
most
submissiue
deuotion
,
wherein
wee
should
otherwise
haue
perseuered
to
the
end
;
and
doe
withall
in
our
owne
defence
require
the
assistance
of
the
next
Lords
and
Princes
of
our
blood
,
and
of
his
Maiestie
of
Denmarke
especially
,
and
likewise
of
the
whole
Circuit
of
the
lower
Saxony
.
But
if
you
would
consider
that
although
our
deare
Brother
did
stand
already
declared
(
as
God
bee
thanked
hee
yet
does
not
)
an
open
enemie
,
but
stands
rather
vpon
Articles
of
treatie
,
and
relies
vpon
the
further
resolution
of
his
Imperiall
Maiestie
;
you
could
not
then
,
or
at
least
ought
not
,
according
to
the
order
which
is
giuen
for
the
stay
of
the
execution
,
(
which
order
wee
will
by
no
meanes
suffer
to
bee
any
wayes
infringed
)
to
inuade
this
Circuit
of
Saxony
with
a
forraine
army
,
and
make
your selfe
by
that
meanes
master
of
our
Lands
and
Subiects
,
which
are
altogether
innocent
.
And
if
any
third
partie
(
our
Brother
)
hath
offended
;
yet
ought
not
his
Lands
to
bee
therefore
molested
.
If
you
desire
therefore
to
haue
these
orders
obserued
by
vs
,
it
is
fit
that
you
obserue
them
first
your selfe
.
For
which
reason
wee
yet
once
more
desire
you
to
spare
our
Dominions
,
and
forbeare
to
make
any
march
or
passage
through
them
,
and
not
to
molest
vs
,
(
who
rest
our selues
vpon
so
many
high
promises
of
the
Emperour
)
vpon
which
many
and
great
dammages
and
inconceniences
may
happen
and
ensue
;
and
not
to
raise
any
further
iealousies
or
distrusts
betwixt
his
Imperiall
Maiesty
,
and
the
obedient
Princes
&
States
which
are
vnder
him
:
But
we
admonish
you
rather
to
expect
his
Imperiall
Maiesties
further
resolution
extension
(
and
enlargement
in
some
points
)
of
his
former
pardon
to
our
Brother
,
vpon
the
accommodation
,
or
taking
vp
,
(
as
wee
hope
)
of
all
matters
betwixt
them
.
To
the
entent
,
that
the
sinister
opinions
and
diffidences
which
the
Princes
and
States
haue
before
conceiued
concerning
the
slow
performance
of
his
Imperiall
Maiesties
many
and
high
promises
,
be
not
more
strongly
confirmed
in
them
;
the
seuerall
States
of
the
Empire
hauing
already
heretofore
deeply
conceited
such
imaginations
,
and
set
downe
their
grieuances
vnder
their
hands
in
writing
.
Wee
expect
hereupon
your
further
Resolution
and
Declaration
,
by
which
wee
may
know
what
we
are
to
looke
for
at
your
hands
hereafter
:
Till
when
,
wee
rest
very
well
inclined
towards
you
,
and
wish
you
all
prosperitie
.

Not
long
after
this
resolute
answer
of
the
elder
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
which
expressed
the
mine
of
the
whole
lower
circuit
of
Saxony
his
Confederates
,
who
were
all
in
the
same
predicament
:
The
Duke
Elector
of
the
vpper
Saxony
was
said
also
to
send
another
as
peremptory
a
message
vnto
the
Generall
Tilly
;
admonishing
him
with
all
speed
to
depart
out
of
the
land
of
Hessen
with
his
whole
Forces
,
or
els
he
would
vse
other
meanes
to
enforce
him
vnto
it
:
seeing
that
he
(
the
Elector
)
was
tyed
by
the
Articles
of
the
League
betwix
him
and
the
other
Princes
&
States
,
not
to
suffer
any
man
that
so
behaued
himselfe
as
an
enemy
to
remaine
in
any
of
their
Lands
.
This
they
write
from
Culle●
Iuly
14.
And
it
is
also
written
from
Franckford
,
Iuly
10.
That
if
Monsieur
Tilly
offers
to
set
foot
vpon
any
of
the
lands
of
the
lower
Saxony
,
that
the
Princes
will
send
their
whole
ioynt
forces
against
him
;
And
the
Duke
Vlricke
of
Brunswicke
himselfe
is
said
by
the
Letters
from
Cullen
Iuly
14.
to
haue
presently
beset
the
passages
of
his
owne
land
against
Tilly
,
with
the
forces
of
his
owne
countrie
.
After
which
Auises
,
Generall
Tilly
did
not
onely
forbeare
to
attempt
any
passage
that
way
;
out
also
(
want
in
his
Army
withall
compelling
him
vnto
it
)
not
long
after
this
prepared
to
withdrawe
out
of
the
lands
of
Saxony
&
Hessen
,
making
vp
towards
Eischvelt
,
part
of
which
belongs
(
as
we
take
it
)
vnto
the
Bishop
Elector
of
Mentz
.
In
which
country
of
Eisehvelt
,
for
that
the
whole
busines
so
much
talkt
of
hath
beene
atcheiued
,
let
it
not
be
vnpleasant
vnto
you
to
take
the
whole
order
of
the
performance
,
(
with
the
likelyhoods
,
reasons
and
causes
of
the
doing
)
along
with
you
.
Of
which
we
hauing
now
receiued
more
full
,
more
particular
,
and
more
certaine
intelligence
,
will
import
the
whole
vnto
you
,
and
the
rather
,
for
that
one
depends
vpon
another
,
and
the
second
victory
,
was
vpon
the
pursuit
of
the
first
.
Monsieur
Tilly
therefore
hauing
euery
way
written
very
earnestly
for
all
possible
helpe
before
his
rising
;
both
of
Prage
,
from
whence
the
Count
de
Colatto
was
to
come
to
him
with
3.
Regiments
;
and
to
Vienna
from
whence
in
the
beginning
of
Iuly
,
there
were
foure
faire
pieces
of
Canon
sent
towards
him
by
water
,
first
towards
Heidelbergh
,
and
soon
to
his
Leager
;
And
the
Crabats
being
vpon
his
Letter
turned
back
againe
towards
him
,
and
the
Baron
of
Anholt
making
vp
towards
him
,
being
not
at
that
time
able
or
willing
to
stay
in
Hessen
land
to
expect
them
;
he
marcht
directly
towards
Eischuelt
,
in
which
also
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
was
,
(
this
Eichuelt
lying
iust
in
his
way
from
his
owne
Bishopricke
of
Halberstadt
,
&
the
lands
of
Hessen
,
Duringen
,
&
those
places
through
which
Tilly
suspected
him
likly
to
march
vp
)
Monsieur
Tillies
bold
aduancing
so
neere
to
Brunswick
,
and
so
full
in
the
mouth
of
the
Canon
,
was
;
for
the
preuenting
of
his
further
proceedings
by
the
stopping
vp
of
all
passages
.
Hauing
therefore
in
Hessenland
left
Witzenhausen
.
Allendorp
Eif●rege
&
Wanfreid
,
vnder
sufficient
Garrisons
assured
at
his
backe
,
and
W●●sl●ch
Aln●●●●de
and
other
villages
not
farre
from
Lassell
it selfe
pillaged
and
burnt
,
he
proceeded
on
,
and
with
all
speed
tooke
in
the
town
of
Duderstadt
to
Eisch●●lt
,
towards
which
Brunswick
himselfe
was
also
making
;
which
how
hee
afterward
recouered
,
we
will
presently
enforme
you
.
Monsieur
Tilly
vpon
Iune
25.
came
vp
as
farre
as
Garth
in
the
country
of
Eischuelt
;
pitching
his
Tente
for
that
night
in
the
open
fields
about
Retmartshausen
:
the
next
Thursday
they
went
beyond
Duderstadt
towards
Lindaw
,
which
lies
within
a
little
league
(
three
English
miles
)
of
Northeim
where
Duke
Christians
Army
was
then
entrenched
.
And
there
began
Monsieur
Tilly
,
to
measure
out
his
ground
,
to
cast
out
his
quarters
,
to
dig
himselfe
into
the
earth
,
and
on
all
hands
fell
to
forming
of
a
Campe
.
While
this
was
a
doing
;
Tilly
hauing
lest
order
with
the
Duke
of
Saxon
,
Lawenburgh
,
and
Holsteyn
to
prouide
for
the
victualing
of
Duderstadt
,
wherein
hee
had
left
500.

was
to
be
the
two
Dukes
quarters
)
they
with
their

(
wherein
they
had
25.
Cornets

)
rambling
vp
and
downe
to
get
this
victuall
,
by
the
pillage
of
the
country
:
and
staying
something
longer
then
their
Generalls
directions
had
giuen
order
to
them
,
and
the
Duke
of
Saxon
,
Lawenburgh
hauing
a
designe
in
his
head
,
for
the
taking
in
of
the
towne
of
Gottingen
,
for
that
it
lay
full
in
the
way
towards
Halberstadt
;
which
way
Brunswick
came
;
he
with
his
fellowes
,
when
they
thought
themselues
most
sure
,
were
falne
into
an
Ambush
by
a
Woods
side
neere
Gottingen
;
out
of
which

a
sudden

euery
one
of
which
(
as
the
manner
is
,
leauing
off
his
Carbine
or
fire-locke
)
had
taken
vp
a
Muskettier
behinde
him
,

charging
the
Duke
of
Lawenburghs
Regiment
afront
,
presently
had
the
killing
of
300.
of
them
.
Some
small
resistance
but
not
great
,
the
straightnes
of
the
place
suffered
those
of
Tilly
to
make
;
in
which
conflict
,
Saxon
Lawenburgh
had
his
horse
slaine
vnder
him
.
(
Which
chance
made
the
Mayor
of
Budensbergh
,
who
at
the
same
time
escaped
out
of
Saxon
Lawenberghs
custody
,
vnder
which
he
was
prisoner
,
to
report
him
to
be
slaine
when
hee
saw
him
fall
(
the
Duke
hardly
recouered
another
,
vpon
which
fresh
horse
,
with
three
others
horse
onely
in
his
company
;
some
Letters
from
Franckford
dated
Iuly
10.
say
that
he
made
an
escape
.
And
at
the
same
time
,
the

horse
starting
vp
and
setting
vpon
their
reere
,
&
the
700.
Muskettiers
vpon
the
middle
,
Saxon
Lawenbergh
,
and
Holsteyn
were
both
cut
off
from
rescuing
of
their
owne
baggage
,
which
was
bestowed
in
the
middle
;
and
there
(
to
be
short
)
700.
of
Tillyes
were
slaine
;
amongst
which
the
Duke
of
Holsteyn
himselfe
,
is
in
some
Letters
said
to
be
one
;
the
Captaine
Montagne
and
another
Baron
were
left
dead
in
the
place
;
the
rest
fled
,
some
into
the
Wood
,
where
they
were
left
to
the
mercy
of
the
Boars
;
there
were
1000.
horse
taken
;
and
all
the
baggage
and
the
treasure
which
they
of
Cullen
estimated
to
amount
to
800000.
Rixe
Dollers
.
Of
some
horse
which
drue
the
carriages
,
the
driuers
cut
off
the
Trayse
&
womb-ropes
by
which
they
drew
;
so
that
the
horse
being
thus
loose
and
frighted
,
ran
away
,
to
be
taken
vp
otherwhere
:
Those
of
Tillyes
were
at
first
strong
25.
Cornets
or
troopes
of
horse
;
there
were
7.
Ensignes
or
Cornets
taken
,
and
carryed
to
Duke
Christian
of
Brunswick
in
token
of
victorie
;
so
that
the
whole
Regiments
were
vtterly
defeated
&
all
the
baggage
taken
,
and
as
some
say
three
or
foure
Field-pices
;
So
that
the
Duke
of
Saxon
Lawenbergh
shifting
away
,
had
not
left
him
so
much
as
a
Shirt
to
shift
him
.
And
this
last
description
is
related
out
of
Tillyes
owne
Campe
which
Iuly
8.
lay
at
Griebel
from

,
and
braue
noble
Spirits
,
as
namely
fiue
brethren
Dukes
of
Weymar
,
and
three
Counts
of
Oldenburgh
:
The
yong
Count
of
Thurne
is
Lieutenant
Generall
:
one
of
the
Dukes
of
Weymar
is
chiefe
Watch-maister
;

Seruitors
on

,
who
haue
all
beene
Officers
at
Armes
in
other
warres
;
and
being
now
Reformadoes
,
are
content
to
serue
thus
in
priuate
,
and
to
be
commanded
:
But
yet
for
their
generall
honor
,
they
are
said
to
haue
sworne
one
to
another

the
honour
of

and

in

how
hot
soeuer
.
They
call
themselues
The
desperate
Cauallierie
.
There
are
also
as
yet
diuers
Bohemian
Lords
and
Barons
in
his
Army
:
and
we
vnderstand
that
there
came
of
late
a
certaine
Hungarian
Lord
vnto
the
yong
Count
of
Thurn
,
with
letters
of
great
importance
,
although
the
contents
be
not
as
yet
divulged
.
All
this
is
written
from
the
Dukes
owne
Leager
,
at
Northeim
Iuly
2.
In
the
march
this
order
was
obserued
;
hauing
stood
a
while
some
foure
houres
in
battalia
in
the
fields
,
to
see
if
any
enemy
would
come
against
them
,
in
which
space
many
came
from
seuerall
places
to
view
their
order
,
(
a
faire
Army
being
the
fairest
of
the
three
fairest
things
in
the
world
.
)
The
word
being
giuen
,
they
began
to
march
.
The
order
was
in
three
deuisions
.
The
Duke
himselfe
rode
before
all
the
rest
with
sixe
Cornets
of
choyse
Horse
for
the
Guard
of
his
person
:
after
him
followed
the
Duke
of
Saxon
Weymar
,
who
led
the
Vantguard
,
and
in
it
7000.
horse
.
The
Generals
Lieutenant
the
Count
of
Thurne
led
the
battell
,
or
the
body
of
the
Army
with
as
many
more
;
and
the
Colon●l
Kniphowsen
brought
vp
the
reare
,
likewise
with
the
numbers
proportionable
to
the
former
.
Some
other
vnarmed
men
likewise
were
left
behind
,
who
tarry
for
the
Armes
which
one
of
the
Dukes
of
Weymar
brings
out
of
Holland
with
him
,
and
then
they
are
to
follow
the
Army
.
Brunswick
aduancing
forwards
in
this
equipage
,
did
at
his
first
comming
,
take
in
the
towne
of
Eischuelt
it selfe
,
in
and
about
which
,
he
quartered
his
whole
forces
:
there
is
Colonell
Kniphowsen
said
,
to
haue
killed
300.
of
Tillyes
Souldiers
:
his
head
quarter
hee
layd
at
Northeim
,
which
was
so
neere
vnto
Monsieur
Tillyes
quarters
at
Lindaw
,
that
their
Vantguards
had
euery
day
some
exercise
of
their
Armes
,
and
more
then
light
skirmishes
.
The
Canons
out
of
Tillyes
quatters
playd
vpon
Brunswicks
men
very
hotly
;
which
were
answered
by
Duke
Christians
men
againe
,
with
sixe
demy-Canons
;
although
those
of
Tilly
could
do
no
great
matter
vpon
Brunswicks
men
,
by
reason
of
the
commodity
of
the
place
,
vpon
which
they
had
chosen
to
make
their
approaches
:
The
Duke
of
Saxon
Weymar
,
and
the
Colonell
Kniphowsen
,
placed
themselues
behind
their
own
Ordnance
,
with
full
resolutions
to
set
a
fresh
vpon
the
enemies
,
if
they
durst
aduenture
forth
of
their
trenches
.
But
whither
that
the
wary
Generall
Tilly
,
had
giuen
order
to
his
Companies
rather
to
receiue
their
enemies
vpon
their
owne
aduantages
at
push
of
Pyke
on
the
top
of
their
trenches
,
if
they
should
proue
so
hot
&
braue
as
to
offer
to
force
them
;
or
that
he
were
vnwilling
to
venture
his
men
vpon
a
salley
out
of
their
own
strengths
:
this
the
letters
affirme
for
certain
,
that
none
of
Tillies
did
at
time
issue
forth
;
so
that
some
bullets
being
spent
on
both
sides
,
the
night
took
of
the
brauadoe
of
those
of
Brunswick
,
euery
man
retiring
to
his
quarter
.
That
night
or
else
within
a
night
or
two
following
;
the
Generall
Tilly
remembring
that
nothing
becomming
their
liberties
,
he
had
prouoked
the
forces
of
the
lower
Saxonie
,
which
for
ought
he
knew
,
might
be
following
after
Brunswicke
,
and
make
him
at
the
first
thus
braue
to
dare
him
in
his
very
trenches
,
And
considering
the
late
losse
of
two
braue
Regiments
of
horse
,
and
that
the
enemie
was
blouded
by
the
cutting
off
the
Conuoy
of
victuals
before
Duderstadt
,
and
the
slaughter
of
his
men
there
,
and
at
Eischaelt
;
In
all
which
encounters
hee
had
lost
at
least
1500
or
1600
men
;
and
considering
withall
,
that
he
was
by
this
already
weakened
,
and
did
daily
expect
fresh
supplies
,
(
some
of
which
he
then
heard
to
be
hard
by
)
Thought
it
his
best
to
retreat
backe
againe
towards
his
former
quarters
and
Garrisons
in
Hessenland
,
vpon
the
riuer
of
Werra
.
In
which
resolution
,
leauing
great
store
of
lights
and
fires
in
his
Campe
(
as
if
he
had
still
been
there
)
he
did
vnder
the
opportunitie
of
the
darknesse
of
the
night
,
with
as
much
silence
,
as
possible
could
be
,
without
sound
of
drumme
or
trumpet
,
closely
steale
away
;
and
what
betweene
retreating
and
fleeing
he
retired
three
great
German
leagues
(
12
miles
English
at
least
)
that
very
night
.
The
Perdues
,
as
th●y
call
them
(
Sentinels
that
lye
so
close
to
the
enemies
,
that
the
sentinels
of
each
side
,
may
oftentimes
whisper
one
to
another
)
hearing
some
bustling
;
and
anon
perceiuing
the
truth
of
the
businesse
;
presently
aduertise
their
Generall
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
.
Whereupon
the
Alarme
being
giuen
:
Tilly
is
the
next
morning
by
breake
of
day
(
the
darknesse
being
vnfit
,
for
feare
of
Ambushes
and
entrapments
,
for
such
a
purpose
)
with
might
and
maine
pursued
.
Tillyes
flight
or
retreate
continued
three
daies
,
Tilley
being
ofttimes
forced
to
make
a
stand
by
the
way
,
and
to
make
head
against
the
fierce
impression
of
the
Brunswickers
.
And
thus
sometime
fighting
,
but
most
times
fleeing
:
the
Vantguard
of
those
of
Brunswicke
,
still
beat
vpon
his
Reere
,
and
were
still
cutting
off
the
tayle
of
his
Armie
.
The
thirst
was
all
this
while
said
to
be
very
sore
in
his
Army
;
for
the
want
of
water
,
was
said
to
be
one
of
the
maine
reasons
of
his
so
suddaine
retreating
;
(
there
being
no
riuer
neere
to
his
former
camp
,
nor
other
water
but
such
as
was
brought
on
horsebacke
in
buckets
,
water-budgets
,
Borachoes
and
the
like
,
which
made
it
to
be
sold
extreame
deare
)
And
all
this
while
showers
of
lead
ratling
amongst
them
.
Monsir
Tilley
was
said
to
be
faine
with
much
disorder
and
danger
,
to
haue
passed
some
of
his
forces
ouer
the
riuer
of
Werra
againe
.
In
this
flight
,
three
Regiments
amongst
the
rest
,
are
particulariz'd
to
haue
beene
worst
of
all
beaten
and
disordered
;
many
of
whose
Companies
,
thinking
it
safer
to
runne
away
then
to
be
killd
with
their
fellowes
,
were
scattered
all
ouer
the
Country
:
most
of
which
,
as
they
were
taken
pilladging
for
their
victuals
,
were
knockt
on
the
head
by
the
Bores
of
the
Countrie
.
With
the
rest
,
the
fight
and
flight
continued
three
daies
,
that
is
the
1
,
2
,
and
third
of
our
Iuly
:
so
that
at
last
Brunswicke
is
said
to
haue
beaten
them
so
much
,
that
there
were
7000
slaine
in
the
place
,
and
of
prisoners
so
many
hundreds
taken
.
The
booty
was
said
to
be
great
,
some
letters
,
that
name
least
,
mentioning
200
Waggons
to
haue
beene
there
taken
:
others
name
no
fewer
then
600
:
there
were
foure
peeces
of
Cannon
taken
,
as
some
letters
say
,
or
as
others
,
fixe
:
and
of
treasure
fiue
or
sixe
tunne
of
gold
,
and
some
reports
haue
beene
so
particular
herein
,
as
to
Iudge
some
of
the
Iewels
,
which
were
taken
from
some
of
Tillyes
Commanders
,
to
haue
beene
some
of
those
,
which
themselues
before
had
made
pillage
of
at
the
taking
of
Prague
:
whereupon
some
letters
boldly
inferre
thus
much
:
That
now
is
quittance
cryed
with
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
,
for
the
taking
of
Prague
.
Finally
,
the
spoile
was
said
to
be
such
,
as
that
many
of
Brunswicks
Caualliers
,
were
said
to
haue
gotten
aboue
one
thousand
Duckats
a
peece
,
for
their
single
and
seuerall
shares
.
Some
letters
wee
haue
seene
to
conclude
with
this
peremptorie
and
tart
breaking
off
:
that
Monsir
Tilly
is
by
this
hot
and
close
pursuit
of
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
so
beaten
,
routed
,
and
disordered
,
that
they
beleeue
hee
will
not
bee
able
to
make
head
againe
to
much
purpose
this
Summer
.
And
some
haue
yet
followed
him
further
then
so
:
Affirming
that
Tilly
himselfe
hardly
escaped
(
alone
almost
)
into
a
little
Towne
of
the
Landtgraue
of
Darmstadts
,
but
which
(
that
we
can
remember
)
they
name
not
,
but
if
it
were
any
at
all
,
Giesen
is
as
likely
as
any
;
as
being
both
neere
enough
vnto
the
riuer
of
Werra
,
where
the
last
of
the
fight
is
said
to
be
,
and
this
Towne
being
also
newly
fortified
of
late
by
the
Duke
.
Nay
some
reports
,
will
not
let
Tilly
rest
heere
neither
,
but
giue
out
,
that
Brunswicke
sent
after
him
thither
also
,
requiring
him
as
his
lawfull
prisoner
,
to
bee
quietly
deliuered
vnto
him
by
the
Landtgraue
of
Darmstadt
;
and
in
case
of
denyall
hee
threatned
to
lay
an
imposition
of
seuen
or
eight
thousand
Rixe
Dollars
,
as
a
punishment
vpon
the
Landtgraue
and
his
Dominions
.
And
thus
much
the
seuerall
reports
of
this
businesse
being
laid
together
,
will
make
vp
,
vnto
which
,
wee
promise
the
world
,
that
wee
haue
added
no
one
particular
in
the
writing
,
but
can
readily
shew
the
effect
of
euery
point
,
out
of
the
seuerall
letters
of
seuerall
dates
,
from
Franckford
,
Cullen
,
Aquisgraue
or
Aken
,
Antwerp
,
Dort
,
and
other
places
:
And
wee
further
affirme
,
that
all
but
the
last
encounter
of
the
last
three
daies
,
is
alrea●y
printed
Newes
in
high
Dutch.
The
Newes
you
heare
hath
gone
currant
ouer
the
Towne
for
many
daies
,
without
any
apparent
or
particular
contradiction
,
more
then
mens
mistrust
of
the
vnlikelyhood
of
it
.
And
whereas
it
may
be
thought
,
that
all
this
rumour
came
vp
at
first
,
only
vpon
one
letter
written
from
Cullen
,
vpon
some
misprision
of
the
writer
;
you
may
easily
answer
this
by
the
particulars
forementioned
,
which
being
diuerse
,
both
in
the
manner
and
numbers
;
(
some
reporting
200
Waggons
taken
,
and
some
of
600
:
others
of
foure
pieces
of
Cannon
,
others
of
sixe
,
others
of
seuen
,
so
that
it
is
very
vnlikely
that
all
this
varietie
should
arise
out
of
one
letter
▪
And
whereas
the
letters
from
Franckford
which
beare
date
the
12.
of
our
Iuly
,
which
was
eight
whole
daies
after
the
3.
of
Iuly
,
which
is
reported
to
be
the
last
day
of
the
fight
;
doe
yet
mention
no
such
thing
:
we
may
readily
answer
to
that
,
that
though
these
letters
intimate
no
mention
of
these
particulars
,
yet
doe
they
not
inferre
any
contradiction
to
them
:
for
it
is
very
easie
for
such
a
businesse
to
be
eight
daies
in
comming
out
of
Hessenland
vnto
Franckford
.
And
againe
,
the
writer
of
that
intelligence
professes
thus
much
,
that
hee
had
heard
of
Tillyes
flight
or
retreate
for
three
Dutch
miles
:
and
affirmes
,
that
hee
was
that
day
to
receiue
letters
out
of
Hessen
,
Duringen
,
and
those
parts
from
whence
the
noise
of
this
battell
should
come
.
Howsoeuer
;
although
this
victory
be
not
impossible
,
yet
for
that
diuers
haue
suspended
their
beleefes
of
it
for
a
while
;
wee
will
not
therefore
vse
arguments
to
shew
the
probabilitie
of
that
,
which
a
few
daies
may
proue
false
;
Thus
much
in
the
meane
time
,
wee
haue
great
reason
to
beleeue
our selues
,
that
much
bloud
hath
beene
shedde
,
and
that
Tilly
hath
had
the
worst
of
it
(
though
the
reports
of
the
particulars
differ
)
and
that
Brunswicke
hath
hitherto
kept
the
field
.
The
particulars
we
must
leaue
to
time
,
and
our
next
intelligence
.
But
howeuer
,
this
small
victory
which
we
next
report
,
is
yet
beyond
all
contradiction
,
being
written
from
Culle●
,
Iuly
11
;
which
was
how
that
,
The
Baron
of
Anholt
offering
to
ioyne
with
Monsir
Tilley
:
that
some
of
the
Duke
of
Brunswickes
horse
had
surprised
and
defeated
a
troupe
of
horse
of
the
Barons
,
and
taken
their
Captaine
prisoner
.
As
for
further
Newes
of
the
Baron
of
Anholt
,
It
is
constantly
affirmed
.
That
for
all
that
the
Imperialists
giue
the
Lantgraue
of
Hess●n
very
good
words
;
calling
him
a
good
man
,
and
a
faithfull
subiect
to
the
Emperour
:
for
that
he
made
no
more
resistance
vnto
Monsir
Tilly
:
yet
questionlesse
good
words
will
not
giue
him
satisfaction
for
the
spoyling
of
his
Countrie
,
nor
does
hee
purpose
to
doe
the
Emperour
such
a
pleasure
,
as
to
suffer
the
Baron
of
Anholt
to
come
through
his
Countrie
to
ioyne
with
Monsir
Tilly
;
but
hauing
before
stopt
vp
all
the
passages
,
he
is
said
to
be
resolued
to
fight
with
him
,
rather
then
to
suffer
him
to
passe
vntalkt
withall
.
The
Baron
of
Anholt
being
in
this
state
,
did
about
the
middle
of
our
Iune
endeauour
to
certifie
Monsir
Tilly
of
all
:
For
which
reason
he
dispatcht
sixe
messengers
with
letters
vnto
him
;
whereof
fiue
were
taken
and
slaine
about
Spangenberg
;
but
a
sixth
did
about
the
14.
of
Iune
get
vp
to
Tillyes
Campe
with
his
letters
,
letting
him
to
vnderstand
his
Lords
desire
to
ioyne
with
him
,
if
that
Tilly
could
find
the
meanes
to
procure
or
open
him
the
passages
,
and
this
they
write
from
Monsieur
Tillyes
owne
campe
,
which
at
that
time
lay
about
Giebel
.
As
for
other
ayde
which
was
vpon
comming
to
Tilly
,
the
letters
from
Isenach
Iulie
8.
relate
how
that
the
15
of
Iune
being
Sunday
,
there
past
about
noone
fiue
troopes
of
horse
,
of
the
Regiment
of
Collonell
Auentans
,
being
for
the
most
part
Crabats
,
which
Tilly
had
sent
for
backe
againe
.
They
brought
along
with
them
fiftie
waggons
loaden
with
baggage
,
many
hang-byes
following
the
souldiers
.
They
marcht
a
quarter
of
a
league
beyond
out
towne
of
Isenach
,
quartering
that
night
about
Mila
,
Bishoffsrod●
and
Bercka
from
whence
they
are
directly
to
repaire
vnto
Monsieur
Tillyes
Armie
.
They
demeaned
themselues
very
mannerly
where
they
came
,
paying
for
what
they
tooke
,
and
demanding
victuals
and
wine
not
beyond
moderation
,
being
otherwise
content
with
what
they
found
.
And
they
report
,
that
there
are
yet
foure
thousand
horse
to
follow
them
,
amongst
which
they
affirme
that
there
bee
1000.
Cutiassers
(
which
be
horsemen
heauy
armed
,
and
at
all
points
cap
a
pie
.
)
But
whence
they
should
come
,
they
told
not
,
nor
doe
we
beleeue
any
such
matter
as
foure
thousand
horse
to
bee
comming
to
Tilly.
To
returne
againe
vnto
our
Duke
of
Brunswick
and
to
giue
you
a
tast
of
the
martiall
discipline
,
that
he
keepes
.
Some
of
his
armie
hauing
pillaged
and
set
fire
to
the
Dorpe
called
Hattorst
,
which
is
neere
to
the
Haertzberg
(
a
hilly
forrest
so
called
in
the
land
of
Eischvelt
)
he
tooke
ten
or
twelue
of
the
principall
offenders
,
and
hanged
them
vp
presently
.
And
whereas
some
of
his
souldiers
had
done
some
wrongs
vnto
certaine
of
the
Duke
of
Lunenburghs
subiects
who
had
occasion
to
trauell
that
way
;
he
righted
them
againe
,
proclaiming
a
generall
and
safe
conduct
throughout
all
places
where
he
should
at
any
time
quarter
:
vnto
the
subiects
of
his
cousen
of
Lunenburgh
.
Vnto
him
after
his
taking
of
Duderstadt
,
did
the
Landtgraue
Maurice
of
Hessen
addresse
these
3.
following
names
in
Ambassage
,
as
Siegen
for
one
,
the
second
was
called
Harst●ll
,
and
the
third
was
named
Goets
a
lawyer
.
These
had
priuate
audience
but
kept
their
message
secret
.
Thus
hauing
done
with
these
parts
,
let
vs
turne
aside
towards
the
Pallatinate
.
Concerning
which
it
is
written
from
Franckford
Iuly
22.
that
the
cittie
of
Heidelbergh
,
shall
in
part
be
freed
of
her
troublesome
garrison
,
in
compensation
whereof
,
the
countrey
that
is
to
receiue
the
benefite
of
it
,
is
to
haue
a
new
taxation
layde
vpon
them
.
And
yet
neuerthelesse
,
that
the
souldiers
are
fewer
,
and
the
contributions
greater
,
yet
are
the
souldiers
no
better
payde
any
where
,
for
which
reason
they
fall
againe
to
commit
many
outrages
.
As
Concerning
the
Dyet
of
Composition
about
the
Palatinate
,
there
is
not
now
so
much
talke
,
as
there
hath
beene
of
late
.
But
about
the
entent
for
the
totall
and
finall
Restitution
,
nothing
at
all
,
Onely
there
is
some
speech
,
that
the
treaty
for
the
restitution
of
the
Ioynter
of
the
old
Princesse
Electresse
(
widdow
to
the
former
Elector
,
mother
to
the
king
of
Bohemia
,
and
sister
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
)
shall
first
be
deliberated
vpon
:
as
also
the
Duchyes
of
Simmern
and
Lautern
,
with
the
Lands
going
with
them
,
and
belonging
vnto
the
Prince
Lodowick
Philip
,
younger
brother
to
the
king
of
Bohemia
(
who
liues
at
this
present
at
Castrine
with
his
Vncle
the
Marquesse
Elector
of
Brandenburg
)
are
withall
to
bee
taken
at
consideration
,
seeing
that
the
yong
Prince
hath
before
put
in
his
Plea
vnto
them
,
at
the
Imperiall
assembly
,
at
the
late
Dyet
of
Regenspurg
.
And
with
the
consultation
about
the
restitution
of
these
two
Princes
Portions
,
(
the
Grand-mother
and
the
Nephew
)
are
the
Imperiall
Commissoners
said
to
be
the
first
to
begin
withall
.
This

The
Duke
of
Saxony
being
installed
in
the
Administration
of
Lusatia
for
these
ten
or
twelue
yeeres
to

;
is
now
sayd
to

buisie
about
mustering

the
Emperour
himselfe
,
who
hath
lately
sent
to
him
,
to
know
what
he
purposes
to
doe
with

.
As
for
the
King
of
Denmark
;
it
is

that
for
his
owne
person
he
was
lately
at
the
Dyet

which
was

held
at
Luneburgh
,
by
Brunswick-land
;
which
Dyet

As

Concerning
Don
Gonsales
de
Cordoua
,
this
they
write
from
Cullen
11.
How
that
his
Forces
lay
then
still
about
Mulheim
where
they
did
before
,
And
they
then
heard
at
Cullen
,
that
hee
was
not
resolued
to
remoue
,
before
those
3000.
which
hee
hath
so
long
expected
,
be
come
in
vnto
him
;
after
which
,
t
is
either
thought
that
hee
shall
waite
vpon
Mansfeild
,
or
goe
presently
to
the
siege
of
Lipstat
.
Don
Cordoua
,
hath

Which
Boyset
returning

was
sayd

as
that
it
was
thereupon
rumored
,
that
Don
Cordova
was

His
