A
DISCOVRSE
FVLL
OF
DELIGHT
,
CONTAINING
THE
RELATION
OF
THE
things
which
in
most
parts
of
Europe
haue
passed
worthy
the
remembrance
,
since
March
last
.
1614.
to
this
present
.
WWhen
after
the
lamentable
ouerthrow
and
death
of
Bathorie
,
Gabriel
Bethline
had
bin
appointed
Prince
of
Transyluania
by
the
Turkes
,
the
Country
was
diuided
into
diuers
factions
:
some
,
especially
these
who
were
next
of
blood
to
Bathorie
,
being
desirous
to
reuenge
his
death
,
of
whom
many
perished
about
Medisa
,
being
throwne
headlong
from
the
tower
,
many
followed
the
Emperours
parts
,
taking
Husta
,
and
other
places
in
his
name
,
but
the
greatest
part
stuck
to
Bethline
,
and
submitted
themselues
to
his
obedience
.
The
Turke
vnderstanding
the
state
of
the
countrey
,
writ
his
letters
to
the
Nobilitie
and
Councell
of
Transyluania
,
to
this
effect
;
that
they
could
not
bee
ignorant
,
that
from
the
time
that
Transyluania
liued
vnder
the
gouernment
of
his
ancestors
,
and
himselfe
,
that
the
country
continued
in
great
peace
aed
quietnesse
vnder
their
protection
:
for
that
they
had
sundry
times
both
desired
and
obtained
aide
from
his
Court
against
their
enemies
,
especially
that
Botteskay
,
when
the
Transyluanians
were
but
the
other
day
molested
by
the
Germanes
,
being
assisted
with
his
forces
,
ouerthrew
the
power
of
the
Germanes
,
and
shaked
their
yoak
from
their
neckes
.
After
his
death
,
when
they
saw
that
Bathora
his
successor
carried
things
according
to
his
pleasure
,
and
fell
from
his
obedience
,
that
Bethline
with
the
generall
consent
of
the
Nobility
,
complained
in
that
behalfe
of
him
at
his
Court
,
and
that
hee
easily
obtained
meanes
to
oppresse
him
,
and
to
free
the
Prouince
from
his
tyranny
.
After
whose
ouerthrow
and
death
,
the
wished
sunne-shine
of
peace
and
liberty
began
to
appeare
,
after
that
the
clouds
of
troubles
had
by
his
meane
been
dispersed
.
And
now
since
the
said
Bethline
hath
addressed
himselfe
to
his
Court
,
and
submitted
himselfe
to
his
order
,
that
he
hath
iudged
him
worthy
to
succeed
Bathorius
,
and
to
obtaine
this
Principality
;
and
therefore
that
hee
hath
commanded
,
that
all
the
Nobles
of
the
countrie
should
submit
themselues
vnto
him
,
and
obey
his
commandements
,
since
by
this
meanes
they
are
like
to
enioy
their
wished
peace
and
rest
.
Furthermore
,
that
the
same
Bethline
hath
by
letters
aduertised
him
of
certaine
attempts
of
the
Germanes
,
and
in
that
regard
knowing
assuredly
,
that
this
Prouince
is
setled
vnder
his
protection
,
that
hee
had
forthwith
giuen
order
to
the
Commanders
of
Themsuard
,
and
Agrium
,
and
others
,
as
also
to
the
Prince
of
Walachia
,
that
they
should
haue
forces
in
readinesse
,
and
should
bee
very
watchfull
at
all
times
to
repell
all
iniuries
that
should
be
offered
;
yea
that
hee
did
aduise
the
Nobles
themselues
,
that
they
should
at
all
times
yeeld
all
ready
obedience
to
Bethline
,
so
as
they
swarue
not
in
the
least
point
from
his
commandement
.
And
that
he
sent
these
letters
to
this
end
,
that
they
should
take
notice
of
his
pleasure
,
and
that
they
should
giue
no
assistance
,
to
any
attempts
of
the
Germanes
in
this
Prouince
,
whether
they
be
secret
or
open
,
but
withstand
them
to
their
power
,
vntill
the
aides
of
Themesuard
and
Agrium
did
come
,
and
that
in
all
things
they
should
follow
Bethline
,
esteeming
him
as
their
true
and
lawfull
Prince
,
and
continue
constantly
in
his
obedience
,
lest
they
prouoke
his
displeasure
against
them
,
and
procure
their
owne
great
misery
.
Therefore
that
they
should
agree
together
,
and
bee
true
to
their
Prince
,
nor
suffer
any
strangers
to
shuffle
in
amongst
them
,
but
that
they
should
aduise
with
Bethline
in
all
matters
of
importance
,
and
entreate
his
pleasure
for
assurance
,
taking
heed
that
they
doe
not
rashly
encline
to
one
side
or
other
.
Therefore
in
as
much
as
they
haue
continued
in
obedience
to
him
,
that
they
ought
not
to
doubt
of
his
most
mighty
patronage
,
who
meant
alwaies
to
prouide
that
they
might
liue
quietly
and
peaceably
vnder
the
wings
of
his
clemencie
.
But
if
they
should
fall
from
their
alleageance
,
and
shal
not
be
obedient
to
these
his
admonitions
,
that
the
end
will
be
,
that
they
shall
bee
forced
to
melt
by
his
grieuous
displeasure
,
as
the
wax
doth
by
the
fire
,
and
so
bee
consumed
,
for
that
he
will
neuer
endure
that
any
should
at
his
pleasure
waste
and
spoile
Transyluania
,
a
Prouince
so
nearely
bordering
vpon
his
kingdome
.
After
the
publication
of
these
letters
,
hee
gaue
order
,
that
certaine
pikes
should
bee
sticked
in
the
ground
,
before
the
gates
of
sundry
the
principall
Noble
men
and
officers
cleane
through
Transyluania
,
in
token
that
they
should
die
,
that
fell
from
Bethline
his
obedience
,
to
the
partie
of
the
Germans
,
hauing
placed
in
ambush
certain
companies
,
about
Lippa
and
Geneum
,
which
places
held
still
for
the
Emperor
,
by
whom
some
of
the
Garrison
souldiers
,
that
sallied
out
to
try
a
fortune
,
were
surprised
,
and
slaine
euery
man
.
For
which
cause
,
some
of
them
being
sent
by
their
commander
,
came
to
Vienna
to
sue
for
succour
.
About
the
same
time
,
a
Turkish
Embassador
came
to
Lints
,
with
letters
from
the
great
Turke
to
the
Emperour
;
to
this
effect
,
that
whereas
he
had
concluded
a
Peace
with
the
Emperour
for
twentie
yeeres
,
that
hee
had
for
his
part
been
very
carefull
that
nothing
should
be
done
against
it
;
and
that
he
had
giuen
strict
charge
to
his
officers
,
whom
hee
had
placed
vpon
the
frontiers
of
his
territories
,
that
they
should
giue
no
offence
to
the
Emperours
subiects
,
and
that
it
was
iust
and
necessarie
that
the
Emperour
should
doe
the
like
,
if
he
wished
that
the
Peace
might
continue
without
violation
:
but
that
now
he
vnderstoode
that
the
Emperour
was
raising
forces
especially
against
Transyluania
,
which
was
a
Prouince
alwaies
subiect
to
his
Ancestors
and
him
,
hath
receiued
their
Princes
designed
out
of
his
Court
,
and
being
maintained
vnder
his
protection
from
all
enemies
hath
liued
in
peace
in
manner
as
other
Prouinces
haue
done
that
be
subiect
to
him
.
That
where
hee
vnderstoode
that
Battory
did
command
in
that
Prouince
with
tyrannie
,
hee
sent
an
army
lately
to
depresse
him
,
and
to
free
his
subiects
from
his
crueltie
:
and
now
more
,
that
Battory
being
defeated
,
he
had
designed
Gabriel
Bethline
a
Prince
of
great
wisdome
and
valour
,
to
gouerne
the
Countrey
:
and
haue
ordered
that
hee
should
vndertake
the
same
with
assurance
of
his
helpe
and
assistance
:
but
while
he
by
all
meanes
endeuoured
to
doe
his
commandement
,
that
sundry
waies
this
Peace
hath
been
broken
on
the
Emperours
part
,
by
the
taking
of
the
skonces
of
Husta
and
Viuaria
,
and
the
townes
of
Nagipania
and
Tosnacum
.
Therefore
that
he
desires
the
Emperour
,
that
as
himselfe
is
carefull
by
all
meanes
to
conserue
the
Peace
,
so
if
he
be
so
affected
for
his
part
,
that
he
would
giue
order
to
make
restitution
of
the
said
places
to
the
Prince
of
Transyluania
,
or
at
the
least
,
that
he
would
please
by
this
messenger
to
let
him
vnderstand
his
disposition
:
who
by
these
letters
of
his
may
conceiue
how
he
stands
affected
to
the
keeping
of
the
said
Peace
.
That
the
Peace
was
not
at
the
first
desired
by
him
;
but
the
Emperour
was
the
cause
of
making
the
same
,
which
he
doth
worthily
ascribe
to
his
owne
most
iust
victories
:
that
now
he
hath
signified
to
the
Emperor
what
befitted
his
greatnes
to
haue
done
,
and
doth
desire
that
he
would
forbeare
these
attempts
,
&
make
restitution
of
the
places
which
he
hath
seazed
vpon
:
for
by
so
doing
,
the
Peace
is
like
to
continue
firme
But
if
the
Emperor
be
otherwaies
disposed
,
it
shall
hereby
manifestly
appeare
to
the
world
,
whether
of
them
hath
broken
promise
,
and
violated
the
Peace
,
and
that
God
will
bring
to
passe
,
that
which
he
hath
decreed
.
To
conclude
,
that
hee
desires
the
Emperour
that
hee
doe
not
long
detaine
his
messenger
with
him
,
but
with
his
letters
giue
him
a
speedie
dispatch
,
lest
this
long
absence
of
his
should
breede
iealousie
in
him
,
that
he
stand
not
so
carefully
affected
to
the
conseruation
of
the
Peace
.
This
Messenger
being
honourably
intertained
,
was
dismissed
with
expedition
,
with
letters
wrapped
in
cloath
of
golde
,
to
this
purpose
,
that
the
Emperour
hauing
with
the
aduice
of
the
Electors
,
and
Princes
,
and
other
Estates
of
the
Empire
resolued
touching
the
busines
,
was
ready
to
returne
an
answere
by
another
Messenger
,
who
was
already
aduaunced
on
his
way
to
the
Turkes
Court
.
Therfore
that
the
Turke
should
expect
but
a
while
,
and
in
the
meane
time
,
he
should
tempt
nothing
against
the
Peace
.
Before
this
time
,
there
had
passed
diuers
leagues
and
confederacies
,
betweene
the
States
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
,
and
certaine
of
the
Hanse
townes
.
Which
example
the
towne
of
Magdeburge
being
willing
to
follow
,
had
determined
to
enter
into
a
league
with
them
.
The
which
the
Elector
of
Saxonie
misliking
,
writ
his
letters
to
the
Towne
,
that
hee
vnderstoode
from
diuers
places
,
that
they
determined
to
enter
into
a
league
with
forraine
states
,
especially
with
the
states
of
the
Low-Countries
:
and
although
he
conclude
nothing
of
that
businesse
,
neither
doe
much
busie
himselfe
to
vnderstand
the
reasons
which
moued
them
to
do
this
,
yet
this
he
took
notice
therof
for
this
cause
,
because
he
knew
not
whether
they
entred
into
this
matter
with
the
priuitie
and
allowance
of
the
Emperour
,
for
if
it
were
otherwise
,
they
might
easilie
conceiue
how
ill
the
Emperour
would
take
it
.
And
yet
,
that
he
by
no
means
could
allow
this
Confederacy
so
needlesse
and
euery
way
vnnecessarie
,
but
seeing
he
bare
no
lesse
good
will
to
this
Common-weale
,
then
his
Ancestors
had
done
,
and
would
bee
carefull
by
all
meanes
,
to
keepe
and
defend
all
harme
from
the
same
,
that
hee
thought
it
necessarie
with
all
speede
to
disswade
them
from
this
league
,
from
which
nothing
could
arise
,
but
exceeding
displeasure
in
the
minde
of
the
Archbishop
of
Magdeburge
,
and
many
other
inconueniences
beside
.
For
if
they
had
this
purpose
in
contracting
this
league
,
to
vndertake
any
hostilitie
against
the
Archbishop
and
his
Diocesse
,
by
reason
of
the
difference
lately
growne
betweene
them
,
that
they
may
easilie
thinke
,
that
both
himselfe
and
other
Princes
and
Electors
,
will
not
bee
wanting
to
assist
him
,
as
one
that
is
neerely
linked
to
them
in
alliance
.
Seeing
therefore
he
knowes
very
well
,
that
the
Electors
and
Princes
will
very
shortly
take
paines
to
compound
this
difference
,
that
he
hopes
they
will
so
carrie
themselues
,
that
the
Princes
shall
haue
no
cause
to
complaine
of
them
,
and
that
the
Archbishop
will
proue
himselfe
such
a
one
as
desires
not
to
presse
them
with
any
new
burthen
,
but
will
condescend
that
these
dissentions
and
quarrels
shall
bee
determined
according
to
lawe
and
equitie
.
Besides
these
letters
sent
to
the
State
of
Magdeburge
,
hee
wrote
other
letters
to
the
same
purpose
vnto
the
Emperour
,
that
he
vnderstood
not
long
since
from
Christianus
Gulielmus
Archbishop
of
Magdeburge
,
Primate
of
Germanie
,
the
Marques
of
Brandenburge
,
and
others
,
that
the
citizens
of
Magdeburge
decreed
to
make
a
league
with
the
vnited
States
of
the
Belgicke
Prouinces
,
and
that
the
foresaid
Archbishop
hath
signified
,
that
the
same
if
it
should
come
to
passe
,
would
both
be
displeasing
to
him
,
and
would
proue
heauie
and
dangerous
to
his
Diocesse
,
and
withall
by
their
ioynt
letters
to
the
Emperour
,
entreated
that
hee
would
stop
this
intended
league
,
and
admonish
the
Senate
and
Citizens
to
yeeld
obedience
and
respect
to
his
pleasure
.
That
this
message
was
very
displeasing
to
him
,
and
that
they
could
not
see
,
what
reason
the
Magdeburgers
had
,
without
the
Emperours
knowledge
to
affect
this
league
,
and
to
giue
occasion
to
the
Archbishop
suspiciously
to
gather
matter
of
feare
&
iealousie
.
Seeing
therfore
he
holds
this
request
of
the
Archbishop
very
iust
and
reasonable
,
and
that
in
these
places
it
is
not
fit
to
giue
occasion
to
draw
on
new
dangers
and
troubles
,
but
rather
maturely
to
meet
with
them
,
especially
in
this
dangerous
and
hard
estate
wherein
Germany
stands
,
that
by
all
meanes
hee
doth
humbly
beseech
the
Emperour
,
that
he
considering
the
equity
of
the
Archbishops
request
,
would
interpose
his
authority
to
dehort
the
Magdeburgers
from
their
purpose
,
and
gratiously
to
draw
them
to
yeeld
obedience
to
their
Archbishop
.
The
Emperour
hauing
receiued
these
letters
,
disswaded
the
Magdeburgers
from
this
intended
confederacy
:
by
which
meane
,
the
Citizens
also
of
Brunswicke
,
who
had
ioyned
with
them
in
this
negotiation
,
returned
out
of
the
low
Countries
without
any
proceeding
at
all
.
In
the
moneth
of
Februarie
was
published
an
Edict
by
the
Illustrious
Iohn
Sigismund
,
Marques
and
Elector
of
Brandenburge
,
by
way
of
reformation
to
bee
executed
in
the
Churches
of
Brandenburge
,
directed
to
the
Ecclesiasticall
Gouernours
of
the
whole
Electorate
of
Brandenburge
,
of
both
sides
the
Odera
,
wherby
they
are
commanded
to
forbeare
railing
and
and
contentious
behauiour
;
especially
in
their
Sermons
.
That
godly
and
faithfull
Magistrates
,
haue
in
all
times
and
places
,
thought
it
a
part
of
their
duty
,
to
vse
al
means
to
stop
vnnecessary
contentions
and
disputations
,
who
in
diuers
places
do
in
their
publike
Sermons
bitterly
inueigh
against
other
Churches
,
as
well
within
as
without
the
Empire
,
whereof
they
were
neuer
appointed
iudges
,
seeing
their
manner
of
disputations
,
are
vndertaken
against
Christian
charity
,
and
auaile
more
to
hinder
then
to
promote
the
edification
of
the
Church
,
that

who
did
the
same
in
the
name
of
the
Churches
of

Saxonie
,
left
notable
examples
hereof
,
and
worthy
all
imitation
,
that
we
need
not
mention
higher
examples
of
antiquity
.
The
transaction
passed
with
other
Electors
and
Princes
,
of
whom
many
yet
doe
embrace
the
doctrine
of
Luther
,
doth
perswade
and
command
,
that
a
course
should
bee
taken
,
that
by
a
godly
moderation
vsed
in
preaching
,
offences
and
troubles
of
consciences
may
be
auoided
.
Therefore
that
all
men
may
easily
iudge
how
displeasingly
hee
hath
taken
it
,
and
how
much
hee
hath
been
affected
,
that
hitherto
of
long
time
he
hath
heard
,
that
not
of
all
,
but
of
many
in
his
Electorate
,
and
indeed
such
,
who
being
moued
with
ambition
rather
then
zeale
of
Piety
,
are
likely
persons
either
to
do
least
,
if
they
were
brought
to
a
iust
triall
in
argument
,
or
to
fall
to
the
Popish
partie
,
if
they
could
make
but
six
pence
more
,
should
fill
al
Churches
&
Pulpits
with
their
imprecations
,
criminations
,
calumnies
,
cursings
and
such
like
outcries
,
seeking
rather
glory
with
men
then
with
God
:
little
regarding
whether
they
speake
true
or
false
:
and
whether
it
were
conuenient
or
inconuenient
to
so
holy
a
place
,
so
as
they
might
gall
,
and
bite
other
Christians
,
satisfie
their
humors
,
spend
their
choler
,
and
moue
laughter
to
our
common
enemies
,
the
Iesuites
,
and
other
Papists
,
and
giue
them
occasion
to
slander
vs
,
by
this
meanes
heaping
vp
the
displeasure
of
God
against
them
and
their
Auditorie
in
the
day
of
iudgement
.
That
the
holy
Scripture
doth
teach
vs
farre
otherwise
:
for
it
doth
not
warrant
,
that
they
who
agree
with
vs
in
the
ground
of
Religion
,
and
stedfastly
resolue
to
be
saued
by
the
only
grace
and
mercy
of
God
,
for
and
thorow
the
merit
of
our
onely
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
all
other
meanes
quite
excluded
,
who
also
labour
with
vs
in
the
vineyard
of
Christ
,
and
therefore
doe
suffer
innumerable
persecutions
from
the
common
enemies
of
true
Religion
,
the
Pope
and
his
Ministers
;
nay
more
,
who
with
great
cheerfulnesse
and
plentie
doe
euen
spend
their
blood
for
this
Confession
,
should
be
excluded
out
of
the
Church
of
Christ
.
Neither
would
the
holy
Scripture
,
that
that
which
is
doubtfull
,
should
bee
argued
by
accusations
and
slanders
,
which
is
proper
to
Satan
,
or
by
coniectures
and
false
allegations
,
but
by
the
infallible
word
of
God
.
Therefore
that
hee
doth
ordaine
and
seuerely
charge
,
that
all
Pastors
and
Ministers
of
Churches
,
doe
in
the
Churches
purely
and
sincerely
teach
and
propound
to
their
Auditors
the
word
of
God
,
out
of
the
Prophelike
&
Apostolike
writings
,
the
foure
Symbols
receiued
in
the
Church
:
the
Augustane
confession
reformed
,
and
the
Apologie
thereof
,
without
all
deprauation
,
and
omitting
all
interpretations
,
and
phrases
,
and
new
formes
brought
in
by
idle
and
ambitious
Diuines
,
that
they
endeauour
to
gaine
soules
to
Christ
,
and
direct
all
their
labours
to
aduance
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
saluation
of
men
:
and
on
the
other
side
,
that
they
wholly
abstaine
from
criminations
,
and
reprehensions
of
other
Churches
,
which
neither
are
subiect
to
them
,
nor
conuicted
of
errour
by
any
lawfull
and
ordinarie
course
:
not
branding
them
with
any
name
of
Hereticke
,
for
that
he
being
vrged
in
his
conscience
can
no
longer
winke
at
these
things
,
but
hath
determined
when
hee
shall
know
that
any
,
whosoeuer
hee
be
,
doth
offend
against
this
commandement
,
(
which
cannot
bee
hid
from
him
long
,
)
that
first
hee
will
summon
him
to
appeare
at
his
Court
,
there
first
by
speech
to
check
his
folly
,
and
if
he
can
doe
good
with
admonitions
,
either
to
remoue
him
from
his
place
,
or
chastise
him
with
some
punishment
:
and
courses
besides
shall
bee
taken
for
obstinate
fellowes
,
who
vpon
summons
doe
not
appeare
at
our
Court
,
whereby
they
may
easily
bee
brought
to
obedience
.
But
if
there
be
any
who
being
carried
with
an
intemperate
zeale
,
suppose
by
this
meanes
that
a
curbe
is
laide
vpon
their
consciences
,
that
hee
will
not
bee
against
it
,
but
that
they
may
giue
ouer
their
Ministery
,
and
with
leaue
depart
out
of
his
Electoratship
,
and
go
to
those
places
where
they
may
bee
suffered
to
rage
;
and
to
wound
Christians
,
to
curse
and
execrate
,
expecting
at
the
last
from
God
a
iust
rewarde
of
their
intemperate
fury
.
Lastly
,
that
he
doubts
not
,
but
that
as
this
Edict
hath
been
published
by
him
,
by
the
prescript
of
the
word
of
God
,
to
keepe
the
Peace
,
tranquilitie
and
concord
in
the
Churches
of
those
countries
,
which
by
God
are
committed
to
him
,
in
these
last
and
dangerous
times
,
wherein
the
Antichrist
of
Rome
seemeth
more
then
euer
before
to
thirst
after
Christian
blood
,
all
and
euery
one
,
in
regarde
of
the
commandement
of
God
,
whereby
subiects
are
by
the
Apostle
commanded
to
bee
obedient
to
their
Magistrates
,
that
they
will
conforme
themselues
to
obedience
,
and
take
care
not
to
prouoke
his
displeasure
against
them
,
lest
they
bee
forced
to
trie
to
their
losse
and
griefe
,
that
they
beare
not
the
sword
in
vaine
:
the
heads
of
the
Articles
,
according
to
which
this
reformation
was
to
be
practised
in
the
Churches
,
were
said
to
be
these
.
That
images
should
be
banished
out
of
the
Churches
:
the
Altars
that
were
made
in
time
of
Poperie
,
to
be
demolished
,
and
long
tables
of
wood
to
bee
set
in
their
places
,
couered
with
a
blacke
carpet
,
and
a
white
cloath
vpon
it
,
when
the
Supper
is
to
bee
administred
:
That
the
statues
,
images
and
crosses
,
drawing
their
beginning
from
Poperie
,
are
to
be
remoued
out
of
the
Churches
.
That
their
holy
Palles
are
no
more
to
be
vsed
.
Candles
not
to
be
lighted
.
Auricular
Confession
to
be
laide
aside
.
Prayers
in
the
Pulpit
to
bee
deliuered
not
submissely
,
but
with
a
loud
voyce
.
That
in
time
of
danger
,
especially
in
the
time
of
Plague
,
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
is
not
to
be
giuen
to
the
sicke
.
The
Decalogue
and
Catechisme
to
be
better
reformed
.
That
the
blessed
Trinitie
is
to
be
represented
by
no
images
,
either
grauen
or
painted
;
the
words
of
the
holy
Supper
to
be
vnderstoode
and
expounded
,
in
the
true
and
right
sense
:
with
some
other
Articles
as
it
was
reported
.
Some
yeeres
past
,
and
before
the
Peace
made
with
the
confederate
States
of
Holland
,
a
Seafaring
man
of
Holland
,
had
been
taken
by
the
Masters
of
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
and
had
been
condemned
to
the
fire
for
a
Psalme
booke
onely
which
was
found
in
his
custodie
,
but
by
some
strange
deuice
hee
escaped
that
danger
;
but
afterward
returning
into
the
same
place
againe
,
as
being
secure
from
feare
,
by
reason
of
the
League
,
hee
was
againe
taken
by
the
Inquisitors
:
and
notwithstanding
the
intercession
of
the
States
to
the
Archduke
,
who
writ
to
the
King
in
the
prisoners
behalfe
,
hee
was
condemned
and
burnt
aliue
.
His
kinsfolkes
haue
made
many
complaints
to
the
States
for
this
crueltie
,
and
to
reuenge
the
same
,
haue
intreated
earnestly
,
that
they
may
haue
leaue
to
saile
into
the
West
Indies
.
About
the
beginning
of
Aprill
was
an
honourable
meeting
of
the
Electors
and
Princes
at
Naumburge
in
Thuring
,
the
Elector
of
Saxony
with
his
brother
Augustus
,
the
Elector
Brandenburge
,
and
many
other
Princes
,
to
conclude
and
aduise
of
the
hereditarie
league
betweene
the
noble
families
of
Saxony
,
Brandenburge
,
and
Hassia
,
of
the
precedencie
of
the
houses
of
Vinaria
and
Alkenburge
,
and
of
the
doubtfull
and
controuersed
busines
touching
Gulicke
and
Iuliers
.
In
the
meane
time
,
ielousies
and
vnkindnes
euery
day
increasing
betweene
the
Princes
of
Brandenburge
and
Newburge
,
many
of
the
Electors
and
Princes
laboured
to
bring
them
to
accorde
.
But
the
States
of
Cleueland
assembling
together
,
agreed
to
incline
to
neither
side
of
the
foresaid
Princes
,
nor
to
allow
any
contribution
to
them
,
vntill
they
were
assured
of
their
true
successor
and
Master
,
and
at
once
sending
their
letters
to
the
Archduke
Albert
,
to
the
Elector
of
Collen
,
&
to
the
Estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
of
Belgium
,
requested
them
that
they
would
haue
no
hand
in
this
busines
,
but
that
they
would
leaue
it
to
be
determined
betweene
the
Princes
themselues
:
to
whom
the
Elector
of
Collen
answered
,
that
for
the
great
desire
he
had
of
peace
,
hee
would
be
very
vnwilling
that
any
warre
should
arise
,
especially
in
the
Empire
,
and
Countries
neighbouring
vpon
him
;
and
yet
if
the
Prince
of
Newburge
should
haue
any
wrong
done
him
in
his
right
pretence
,
that
by
no
meanes
he
might
forsake
him
,
and
sending
to
Dusseldorpe
Reckius
his
Embassadour
,
exhorted
the
Princes
who
were
seased
of
some
places
,
to
lessen
their
traine
.
And
although
they
fell
to
the
number
of
twentie
fiue
attendants
,
yet
the
Brandenburgian
presently
changing
his
purpose
,
after
that
the
Newburgians
,
laying
aside
their
armes
which
they
carried
closely
;
that
is
,
Pistols
,
and
other
weapons
,
which
might
bee
tied
vnder
their
cloakes
;
and
walking
onely
with
their
swords
by
their
sides
,
answered
,
that
he
also
would
willingly
condescend
to
all
reason
and
equity
,
especially
in
the
determining
of
the
question
of
succession
betweene
them
:
and
forthwith
departing
to
Gocha
,
within
the
Principality
of
Cleue
,
hee
sent
his
Embassadours
to
the
Estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
,
who
by
all
meanes
exhorted
both
the
Princes
to
auoide
trouble
,
and
to
conserue
peace
.
But
when
the
Estates
vnderstood
that
the
King
of
Spaine
had
commanded
his
souldiers
to
be
in
a
readinesse
,
they
also
gaue
order
to
haue
Waggons
prouided
,
that
if
necessity
required
they
might
carrie
their
souldiers
thither
,
where
the
Spanish
forces
should
bend
.
Which
prouision
gaue
the
Archduke
occasion
to
write
to
them
,
to
this
effect
.
That
he
lately
was
aduertised
by
the
Estates
and
Councellors
of
the
Dukedome
of
Cleue
,
of
differences
growing
betweene
the
Illustrious
Princes
,
George
William
of
Brandenburge
,
and
Wolfangus
William
of
Newburge
,
and
of
the
dangers
which
therby
hang
ouer
the
whole
Countrey
,
with
a
request
also
from
them
,
that
to
his
power
he
would
for
the
conseruation
of
the
common
peace
,
meet
with
these
difficulties
.
Therefore
that
he
being
moued
with
the
request
of
them
of
Cleue
,
and
also
for
that
it
imported
him
very
much
,
that
his
neighbours
should
liue
in
peace
,
had
by
his
letters
aduised
the
Princes
,
that
as
louers
of
peace
they
would
entertaine
loue
and
concord
,
and
with
all
diligence
auoide
troubles
,
adding
withall
a
protestation
,
that
hee
in
regard
of
the
peace
and
right
hee
hath
to
maintaine
ouer
those
places
,
that
he
of
necessity
must
bee
an
enemy
to
him
,
who
is
the
first
author
to
moue
any
stirre
.
And
although
hee
doubt
not
but
that
they
are
of
the
same
mind
with
him
,
and
will
not
suffer
that
any
dore
should
bee
open
to
so
great
dangers
and
troubles
,
yet
that
hee
was
willing
to
desire
them
,
that
if
they
thought
good
,
themselues
would
bestow
some
paines
to
conserue
the
publike
peace
,
which
wil
very
soone
be
violated
and
disturbed
in
these
parts
,
if
these
Princes
should
fall
together
by
the
eares
.
There
was
offered
to
the
Emperour
about
the
beginning
of
Aprill
,
the
declaration
of
Wolfangus
William
Prince
of
Newburge
,
his
submission
in
the
Mulheme
businesse
.
But
the
Elector
of
Brandenburge
would
in
no
sort
submit
the
businesse
to
be
desided
by
the
Emperours
Councell
of
Court
,
but
endeuoured
by
all
meanes
that
it
might
bee
remitted
to
the
Imperiall
Chamber
;
in
which
behalfe
he
wrote
to
the
Emperour
to
this
effect
.
In
that
he
had
not
to
this
time
returned
an
answere
to
the
Emperours
letters
,
touching
a
new
hearing
of
the
busines
of
Iuliers
,
that
he
did
it
not
of
purpose
,
nor
of
any
intent
to
delay
the
matter
,
but
for
waighty
considerations
which
hindred
him
.
But
that
indeed
there
are
many
reasons
which
hinder
that
hee
may
not
condescend
to
yeeld
to
this
treatie
of
the
businesse
:
for
that
it
is
euident
by
the
relation
of
the
Count
Hoelsoller
,
sent
from
Erford
to
the
Emperour
the
last
yeere
,
how
deceitfully
he
was
dealt
withall
,
who
hauing
nothing
but
hony
vpon
their
tongue
,
did
by
all
meanes
studie
to
besmeare
his
face
.
And
since
this
happened
by
the
foresaid
Earle
,
who
professeth
himselfe
a
kinsman
of
his
house
,
and
is
by
oth
obliged
to
him
,
for
his
hereditarie
Office
of
the
Chamber
,
which
hee
holds
of
him
,
that
he
may
easily
imagine
how
farre
hee
is
to
trust
others
in
this
cause
,
who
are
not
in
that
place
of
relation
to
him
.
And
surely
that
his
feare
and
iealousie
is
not
a
little
encreased
by
that
same
dangerous
and
most
pernicious
decree
in
the
businesse
of
Mulheme
,
which
a
few
daies
ago
Iohn
Ludouike
of
Vlmes
,
bearing
the
Chancellors
person
in
the
Emperours
Court
,
procured
to
bee
intimated
to
him
,
although
in
the
whole
yeere
nothing
was
done
to
his
knowledge
in
that
cause
in
the
Court
,
not
so
much
as
by
way
of
ordinary
talke
.
Whereby
it
may
easily
appeare
what
affection
the
Emperours
officers
carrie
towards
him
.
Although
therefore
he
hath
good
reason
to
looke
to
himselfe
,
being
admonished
by
these
former
steps
,
nor
to
commit
any
thing
that
may
concerne
him
to
such
kind
of
men
▪
notwithstanding
passing
by
all
these
things
,
to
shew
his
care
to
yeeld
to
the
Emperour
his
due
respect
,
that
hee
submits
his
cause
to
this
treaty
,
with
this
condition
,
if
first
he
may
vnderstand
,
whether
and
how
these
other
competitors
doe
submit
themselues
.
Secondly
,
if
it
proceed
not
further
then
is
fit
to
proceed
in
a
friendly
hearing
,
and
that
hee
may
be
at
no
preiudice
,
if
they
cannot
agree
,
or
any
decree
be
made
that
is
hurtfull
to
him
:
but
that
all
things
bee
left
in
the
same
state
they
were
before
the
treatie
,
vntill
this
businesse
be
determined
in
a
lawfull
manner
.
Furthermore
,
since
he
hath
taken
the
possession
of
the
Principality
of
Iuliers
in
a
manner
lawfull
,
and
by
all
law
to
bee
allowed
,
(
considering
what
the
Archduke
Leopald
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Passauium
haue
done
)
and
that
the
Emperour
himselfe
hath
passed
his
promise
,
which
he
hath
reason
to
beleeue
,
to
maintaine
euery
one
in
his
possession
,
nor
to
remoue
him
from
it
,
but
by
a
lawfull
decision
of
the
businesse
going
before
,
that
it
is
a
needlesse
thing
to
trouble
the
treaty
with
the
point
of
the
possession
,
which
is
onely
to
be
directed
to
the
point
of
chalenge
for
the
right
:
otherwise
if
they
doe
,
that
hee
will
admit
no
treaty
at
all
,
seeing
also
vnlesse
he
be
admitted
in
the
participation
of
the
Fee
:
yet
without
preiudice
to
others
,
hee
may
easily
perceiue
that
for
the
point
of
the
challenge
hee
should
bee
neglected
,
that
hee
doth
beseech
the
Emperour
that
hee
would
also
conferre
vpon
him
this
Fee
,
as
hath
been
done
to
others
,
and
so
make
him
equall
to
the
rest
;
and
that
he
hopes
,
that
the
Emperour
will
chuse
into
this
businesse
Arbitrators
honest
and
swayed
with
no
preiudice
,
nor
enclining
to
either
side
,
but
indifferent
and
equally
affected
to
them
both
.
Lastly
,
since
he
is
not
ignorant
,
that
certain
haue
gone
about
to
perswade
the
late
Emperour
,
that
he
hath
some
interest
as
Lord
Paramount
ouer
these
countries
,
&
that
this
dirictum
Dominium
,
so
called
,
and
the
prerogatiue
of
the
Emperour
annexed
to
it
,
may
not
bee
called
into
question
:
that
he
desires
of
the
Emperour
,
that
hee
may
vnderstand
what
hee
may
expect
from
him
in
this
point
,
and
that
with
conuenient
speed
.
Therfore
when
he
hath
receiued
answere
to
all
these
things
,
and
that
the
certaine
time
,
when
this
hearing
shall
begin
,
bee
set
downe
by
the
Emperour
,
that
hee
will
take
care
that
no
want
bee
found
in
him
.
Other
matters
hee
would
haue
referred
to
this
future
hearing
,
but
that
hee
beseecheth
the
Emperour
not
to
bee
offended
with
him
,
but
that
he
would
preserue
his
right
to
him
,
no
lesse
then
to
others
.
That
he
could
haue
receiued
this
answere
,
and
his
exception
to
the
time
that
this
Treatie
begins
,
but
to
saue
time
and
expence
,
and
that
the
Emperour
may
see
the
sinceritie
of
his
mind
,
which
he
brings
to
the
handling
of
this
busines
:
that
hee
was
willing
aforehand
to
open
his
mind
to
the
Emperour
,
before
any
entrance
into
the
matter
,
to
whom
hee
professeth
himselfe
most
ready
to
doe
all
seruice
.
About
the
end
of
Aprill
was
taken
a
Pirats
ship
,
which
carried
in
her
aboue
60.
brasse
peeces
,
and
was
very
rich
beside
,
which
lay
in
waite
vpon
the
coast
of
Ireland
,
for
foure
Holland
shippes
,
which
a
little
after
came
out
of
Ginnie
very
richly
laden
with
gold
and
spice
:
shee
was
carried
to
Amsterdam
.
There
came
at
the
same
time
into
Holland
,
Embassadours
from
Muscouia
,
whom
the
Estates
caused
to
be
brought
with
a
great
traine
from
Leiden
to
the
Hage
,
the
11.
of
May
,
being
admitted
into
the
Councell
house
,
they
declared
in
a
long
speech
,
that
their
great
Duke
,
did
by
all
meanes
desire
the
friendship
of
the
Estates
,
and
desired
them
that
they
would
furnish
him
with
money
and
shipping
against
his
enemies
:
being
there
willed
to
exhibit
in
writing
this
their
request
,
they
did
so
.
But
when
it
did
not
appeare
,
what
profit
might
returne
to
the
States
out
of
Muscouie
,
they
fearing
lest
they
might
offend
the
King
of
Poland
,
after
deliberation
,
made
them
this
answere
conceiued
in
writing
,
whereby
they
might
assure
the
great
Duke
of
Musco
of
their
friendly
minds
,
and
great
good
will
towards
him
,
and
so
dismissed
them
with
roiall
intertainement
,
and
great
gifts
.
Count
Maurice
presenting
to
them
a
gallant
shew
of
a
battell
,
according
to
the
true
manner
of
Military
discipline
,
which
they
beheld
with
great
admiration
.
Suigelius
the
Master
of
the
horse
,
hauing
assaied
Dusseldorpe
,
Cleue
,
and
other
places
,
when
all
his
secret
practises
would
not
preuaile
,
at
the
last
was
receiued
into
Gulick
by
the
Gouernour
Pythamius
,
with
whom
hee
had
secretly
plotted
the
same
before
,
bringing
into
the
towne
diuers
companies
of
the
Estates
souldiers
.
For
when
Pythamius
did
see
that
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
was
in
great
danger
,
by
reason
of
the
vnkindnesses
,
which
euery
day
grew
more
and
more
among
the
posseding
Princes
and
their
friends
,
the
Brandenburgian
and
Newburgian
garrisons
,
being
ready
to
fall
to
blowes
,
he
thought
it
the
fittest
way
to
draw
in
these
companies
of
the
Estates
.
The
Captaines
of
the
garrison
souldiers
,
as
wel
Brandenburgians
as
Newburgians
,
being
ignorant
of
any
practise
,
forth
with
tooke
armes
:
but
being
perswaded
by
the
said
Gouernor
,
and
Suigelius
,
Hancrote
,
Bonnus
,
and
other
Commanders
of
those
forces
,
that
it
was
for
the
good
of
both
the
Princes
,
the
Bandenburgians
were
pacified
:
but
the
Newburgians
giuing
no
credit
to
them
,
made
sharpe
resistance
,
till
after
some
blowes
,
and
slaughter
of
diuers
,
they
came
to
agreement
,
and
were
contented
.
Which
done
,
Hancrote
and
Bonnus
hauing
commission
for
that
businesse
from
Graue
Maurice
,
continued
in
the
Castle
with
their
forces
,
and
haue
since
strengthened
the
fame
with
7.
companies
of
horse
and
foote
,
drawne
out
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
,
making
besides
great
prouision
of
victuall
and
other
necessaries
to
keepe
the
place
.
Which
when
the
Prince
of
Newburge
vnderstood
,
he
arrested
certaine
Officers
and
Councellers
of
the
Prince
of
Brandenburg
,
remaining
at
that
time
at
Dusseldorpe
:
and
dispatching
Messengers
to
diuers
places
,
exhorted
the
Officers
of
Cities
and
Gouernours
of
Castles
,
that
,
as
mindfull
of
the
oath
they
had
taken
,
they
would
keep
diligent
watch
in
their
townes
,
and
vse
all
circumspection
against
such
manner
of
traines
and
practises
.
But
for
the
defence
of
the
Citie
,
hee
thought
good
to
let
in
the
souldiers
;
which
when
the
Burgers
did
earnestly
withstand
,
he
inuited
all
the
chiefe
Senators
to
a
banquet
,
in
which
time
certaine
Musqueteirs
,
slipping
out
at
the
Posterne
gate
,
made
themselues
masters
of
the
towne
watch
,
and
let
in
the
Country
souldiers
,
who
the
next
day
were
bestowed
at
the
Gates
,
their
number
increasing
euery
day
,
and
bulwarkes
and
forts
raised
against
the
gates
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
souldiers
of
the
Estates
assaulted
the
Monastery
of
Scheiuenhem
,
and
they
of
Brandenburge
the
Monastery
of
Siburge
,
but
both
in
vaine
.
But
when
the
Archduke
heard
of
the
newes
of
the
surprising
of
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
:
forthwith
hee
mustered
his
souldiers
,
and
made
preparation
for
this
iournie
;
the
Vnited
Estates
also
doing
the
like
,
which
bred
such
a
feare
among
the
Countrie
people
of
Iuliers
,
that
they
took
al
their
goods
,
and
carried
them
to
Vtright
,
Leids
,
Collen
and
other
places
.
There
was
mention
made
in
our
former
bookes
of
the
affaires
of
Aken
,
and
for
them
wee
are
now
come
to
the
Commination
of
the
proscription
.
Therefore
the
Elector
of
Heidelberge
writing
his
letters
to
the
King
of
France
,
desired
him
that
he
would
in
time
interpose
his
authoritie
:
who
without
delay
dispatched
his
letters
to
the
Elector
of
Collen
,
to
dehort
him
from
the
execution
of
the
sentence
:
that
the
decree
of
the
Emperor
against
the
city
of
Aken
,
to
strike
it
with
the
thunderbolt
of
Proscription
,
for
those
things
which
there
fell
out
in
the
time
of
the
vacancy
,
in
the
name
of
his
kinsman
the
Palatine
Administrator
,
and
vnder
the
title
of
his
Vicariat
in
the
Empire
,
was
very
displeasing
to
him
;
therefore
waighing
the
danger
,
which
by
the
execution
of
this
sentence
seemeth
to
threaten
the
Peace
of
Germany
,
which
it
concerneth
neerely
,
that
this
citie
should
be
preserued
,
that
hee
as
a
Christian
Prince
,
whose
part
it
is
,
by
all
meanes
to
maintaine
the
publike
Peace
among
the
Confederate
Princes
of
the
kingdome
,
that
hee
could
not
forbeare
to
put
him
in
mind
of
the
mischieuous
and
dangerous
issue
;
which
peraduenture
this
execution
may
haue
,
therefore
that
he
desires
,
that
he
would
please
to
take
notice
from
Praeaustie
his
Embassadour
,
residing
in
Flanders
,
of
those
things
,
which
he
hath
giuen
him
in
charge
,
especially
on
the
behalfe
of
his
kinsman
the
Palatine
Elector
.
These
letters
were
sent
to
the
Kings
Embassadour
Mounsier
de
Preux
,
with
other
letters
besides
to
him
to
this
purpose
.
That
he
hath
sent
to
him
the
copies
of
those
letters
,
which
he
had
receiued
from
the
Elector
Palatine
,
in
the
matter
of
the
Aken-busines
,
which
passed
during
the
vacancie
,
and
when
the
Vicariate
of
the
Empire
fell
to
him
,
that
by
them
vnderstanding
what
he
challengeth
to
belong
to
him
,
touching
the
execution
of
the
Proscription
decreed
against
this
citie
,
and
committed
to
the
Archduke
Albert
,
and
Elector
of
Collen
,
and
of
the
right
,
which
the
Palatine
Elector
in
this
cause
pretends
to
belong
to
him
,
hee
may
obserue
and
discerne
how
much
the
Palatine
doth
promise
to
himselfe
for
the
conseruation
of
the
peace
in
Germany
by
the
interseding
of
his
authoritie
with
these
Commissioners
.
Seeing
therefore
there
hangeth
no
small
danger
ouer
whole
Germany
by
this
execution
,
especially
if
the
Princes
ioyning
together
,
shall
earnestly
oppose
themselues
against
it
,
that
he
hath
sent
him
letters
,
written
to
the
Elector
of
Collen
,
&
chargeth
him
to
deliuer
them
to
him
,
and
that
he
would
propound
to
his
consideration
the
waight
of
the
whole
businesse
,
as
also
the
declaration
of
the
right
which
he
hath
,
in
hindring
this
endeuour
of
his
against
the
Palatine
Elector
,
and
the
dangerous
accidents
tending
to
the
mischiefe
not
onely
of
the
citie
of
Aken
,
but
also
of
the
whole
Empire
,
together
with
the
demimution
of
the
authoritie
and
honour
of
the
Emperour
:
and
that
hee
write
backe
withall
speed
to
aduertise
him
how
farre
hee
hath
preuailed
with
him
.
In
the
former
bookes
,
we
spake
of
the
broiles
which
were
raised
in
France
,
with
a
commemoration
of
the
grieuances
exhibited
to
the
Queene
by
certaine
principall
personages
,
and
the
answere
to
the
same
.
And
seeing
it
concerned
the
Common-wealth
very
much
,
that
the
seedes
of
troubles
should
bee
choaked
in
the
very
bud
,
and
the
sparkles
of
fire
quenched
in
the
very
kindling
,
before
they
bee
able
to
take
flame
,
Lewes
the
most
Christian
King
,
when
he
vnderstood
that
a
meeting
was
appointed
by
the
Princes
at
Soissons
,
the
7.
of
April
,
incontinently
sent
certaine
of
his
Councellors
thither
,
who
should
giue
remedy
to
their
grieuances
,
and
friendly
compose
all
differences
,
furnished
with
letters
of
credence
to
this
effect
;
that
as
before
he
had
sent
them
to
Soisson
,
that
they
might
treat
with
the
Prince
of
Condie
,
and
others
there
assembled
,
so
at
this
time
especially
He
,
the
Queene
Mother
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Counsellors
and
Princes
consenting
,
doth
will
,
and
giue
them
full
power
,
that
looke
what
conditions
they
shall
thinke
honest
and
indifferent
,
for
the
mature
composing
of
their
troubles
,
they
should
accept
,
and
assure
in
his
name
,
that
they
shall
be
faithfully
obserued
in
Court
,
and
that
they
do
all
things
,
which
hee
himselfe
would
doe
,
if
hee
were
there
present
.
And
if
so
be
that
this
Treatie
shall
require
any
more
speciall
commission
,
that
hee
doth
promise
in
the
faith
and
word
of
a
King
,
that
whatsoeuer
shall
in
this
businesse
be
done
,
transacted
,
concluded
,
decreed
,
and
promised
,
that
hee
will
hold
it
,
ratum
&
gratum
:
that
is
,
it
should
bee
as
strong
,
and
as
well
pleasing
to
him
,
as
if
he
had
done
it
himselfe
,
and
that
he
will
by
speciall
edicts
giue
commandement
,
that
it
be
executed
,
and
this
power
shall
euery
one
haue
,
although
they
shall
be
hindred
either
through
sicknesse
,
or
any
busines
,
that
they
could
not
bee
there
.
This
Treatie
failed
not
of
his
wished
profit
:
for
they
agreed
vpon
certaine
articles
of
Peace
,
which
were
afterward
ratified
at
San-Manehold
,
to
wit
,
that
vpon
the
summons
of
a
generall
Parliament
,
all
the
States
of
the
kingdome
should
assemble
at
Sene
,
the
25.
of
August
:
and
there
it
should
bee
lawfull
for
the
deputies
of
the
three
Orders
,
to
propound
those
things
,
which
in
their
conscience
they
shall
find
to
be
profitable
for
the
good
of
the
Common-weale
,
and
ease
of
the
subiects
,
that
so
the
King
vpon
aduice
with
his
kinsfolke
and
other
Princes
,
may
in
conuenient
maner
,
publish
wholsome
constitutions
,
renue
ancient
decrees
,
and
annull
and
abrogate
Orders
made
to
the
destruction
of
the
subiect
.
That
the
marriages
vndertaken
with
the
Spaniard
,
should
remaine
in
their
full
force
,
seeing
the
Queene
Mother
hath
by
her
letters
,
giuen
sufficient
reason
for
them
to
the
Prince
of
Condie
,
that
the
bulwarkes
of
the
Castle
of
Messeron
,
should
be
throwne
downe
,
and
that
the
request
of
the
Duke
of
Niuerne
should
bee
satisfied
,
touching
a
certaine
summe
of
money
,
which
hee
demands
of
the
King
,
for
building
of
a
house
in
liew
of
that
,
which
he
had
at
Massera
,
which
was
throwne
downe
,
when
the
castle
was
builded
.
That
the
Castle
of
Blauet
,
which
in
the
time
of
these
troubles
was
seased
,
and
began
to
bee
fortified
,
should
bee
razed
to
the
ground
,
and
the
place
to
be
left
in
the
same
state
as
it
was
before
the
troubles
,
the
Captaine
and
guard
remoued
out
of
it
;
which
Order
must
be
conceiued
generally
to
extend
to
the
rest
of
the
castles
and
forts
,
which
were
euery
where
raised
in
the
Prouince
,
during
the
troubles
.
That
for
auoyding
and
discharging
the
charges
and
inconueniences
,
which
the
subiects
endured
by
the
souldiers
,
as
well
French
as
strangers
,
which
were
hitherto
leuied
,
&
diuerfly
scattered
in
the
kingdome
,
in
the
name
of
the
King
and
Prince
of
Condie
,

complete

should
maintaine
the
forces
appointed
for

,
and
Bell
Isle
,
if
the
Captaine
of
Retse
shall
require
the
same

That
the

,
which

That

that

of

soeuer

who

touching

innocency
and
loyall
affection
of
the
Prince
of
Condee
and
other
officers
.
That

summe
of
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
thousand
pounds
to
bee
diuided
by
him
among
the
Princes
and
other
Officers
.
These
matters
thus
being
ordered
,
and
allowed
and
confirmed
by
the
King
,
the
Prince
of
Condee
,
and
other
Princes
and
Officers
of
the
kingdome
disclaimed
and
renounced
all
confederacies
vndertaken
either
within
the
kingdome
,
or
without
,
and
promised
neuer
to
enter
into
any
league
any
more
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
King
granted
to
the
Duke
of
Niuerne
his
letters
Patents
,
to
him
and
his
eldest
sonne
of
the
gouernment
of
Champaine
.
These
businesses
in
this
manner
being
passed
,
and
all
agreement
signed
and
sealed
by
the
King
himselfe
,
the
Queene
Mother
being
President
,
and
also
by
the
Prince
of
Condee
,
and
Ventadurius
,
the
Duke
of
Bullion
,
and
other
Princes
,
the
Prince
of
Condie
wrote
his
letters
to
the
Queene
Mother
,
wherein
he
professed
that
both
in
regard
of
her
great
good
will
before
time
declared
vnto
him
,
and
also
for
the
great
fauour
shee
had
done
him
in
this
present
treaty
,
that
hee
acknowledged
himselfe
so
much
obliged
to
her
,
that
hee
could
not
forbeare
to
giue
her
great
thankes
for
this
royall
affection
of
hers
towards
him
:
but
hee
did
beseech
her
that
shee
would
waigh
courteously
and
equally
with
her selfe
by
what
freenes
of
mind
hee
was
impelled
to
vndertake
these
businesses
,
who
if
he
might
haue
liued
without
the
malice
of
aduersaries
that
lay
in
waite
to
surprise
his
honour
and
estate
,
had
neuer
proceeded
so
far
,
neither
had
any
stir
beene
made
in
the
kingdome
.
But
now
all
matters
being
stilled
and
quieted
by
the
grace
of
God
,
and
the
wisdome
of
the
Queene
,
that
he
did
earnestly
beseech
her
that
shee
would
so
order
and
gouerne
all
things
hereafter
,
that
no
occasion
may
bee
offered
to
the
renewing
of
the
like
Commotions
;
for
that
hee
for
his
part
would
alwaies
be
most
ready
in
his
place
to
performe
all
manner
of
seruice
to
the
King
his
master
.
While
these
things
passed
in
France
,
there
appeared
at
Prage
,
and
thorow
all
Bohemia
a
Sunne
Circle
called
Paralia
,
and
two
Sunnes
seemed
to
appeare
in
heauen
.
At
Nemeth
in
Hungarie
,
a
fountaine
neare
to
the
walles
of
the
City
brake
forth
with
great
force
into
streames
of
blood
,
almost
by
the
space
of
an
houre
.
At
Butoarium
a
woman
brought
forth
a
monster
,
resembling
a
Seafish
.
And
another
woman
in
a
village
not
aboue
a
mile
from
Prage
,
brought
forth
a
child
with
one
body
,
but
fearefully
shaped
,
with
foure
hands
,
and
foure
feet
,
which
liued
vntill
the
next
day
.
A
little
before
in
Carinthia
it
rained
a
kind
of
red
graine
,
whereof
there
was
baked
good
bread
,
which
was
brought
ouer
by
certaine
Merchants
from
Villacum
.
And
euen
at
this
time
was
seene
in
the
aire
a
red
Crosse
,
not
without
great
wonder
and
terrour
to
the
beholders
.
Almost
about
the
same
time
,
being
the
fifteenth
of
May
,
Wolfangus
William
neglecting
the
Augustane
Confession
,
fell
to
the
Pope
,
and
embraced
the
Romane
Religion
,
and
at
a
Masse
,
which
was
celebrated
in
the
parish
Church
of
Dusseldorpe
,
with
great
solemnity
and
all
manner
of
musicke
,
hee
with
his
wife
receiued
the
Sacrament
after
the
Popish
manner
.
Afterwards
a
Sermon
was
made
by
the
Deane
of
the
Church
,
out
of
the
third
Chapter
of
Iohn
,
wherein
also
the
reasons
were
deliuered
,
for
which
the
Prince
had
withdrawne
himselfe
into
the
bosome
of
the
Romane-Catholicke
Church
.
After
a
few
daies
a
Nuncio
came
from
the
Pope
,
accompanied
with
certaine
Capuchine
Monkes
,
to
Dusseldorpe
,
to
conferre
plenarie
absolution
and
benediction
vpon
the
Prince
,
and
to
exhort
him
to
constancy
.
This
reuolt
and
change
of
Wolfangus
bred
great
sorrow
and
griefe
in
the
mind
of
Philip
Ludouicke
Prince
of
Newburge
the
father
,
and
since
that
which
was
done
could
not
be
vndone
,
being
sollicitors
in
the
behalfe
of
his
subiects
,
exhorted
them
to
fall
to
prayer
for
the
conseruing
of
the
sincere
and
wholesome
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
and
to
that
end
published
an
Edict
to
be
obserued
by
all
the
Pastors
of
the
Churches
to
this
effect
.
For
as
much
as
he
hath
ordained
and
commanded
all
the
Pastors
and
Ministers
which
is
in
the
Principality
of
Newburge
,
that
they
carefully
prouiding
against
this
present
necessity
,
and
the
eminent
fearefull
change
of
Religion
,
that
not
only
they
themselues
doe
meete
in
the
Churches
euery
Monday
at
twelue
of
the
clocke
,
to
powre
forth
prayers
to
God
with
their
hearers
,
but
also
that
they
be
carefull
that
the
same
be
done
by
the
Ministers
and
Preachers
vnder
their
Iurisdiction
,
that
he
doth
straightly
command
and
enioyne
them
all
that
they
giue
good
example
to
their
hearers
,
and
that
they
the
time
and
place
aforesaid
,
and
together
with
their
Auditors
,
men
,
women
,
and
children
,
and
their
whole
families
,
they
doe
beseech
the
Lord
to
turne
away
the
danger
,
which
now
is
at
hand
,
and
that
in
the
solemnizing
of
publike
prayers
,
they
doe
premise
a
generall
admoninion
in
this
manner
.
Besides
the
calamities
and
manifold
punishments
,
wherewith
the
Lord
hath
chastised
these
Countries
for
their
manifold
transgressions
,
that
now
it
is
greatly
to
bee
feared
,
lest
they
be
depriued
of
the
greatest
treasure
which
they
haue
in
this
world
;
that
is
,
the
puritie
of
the
word
of
God
,
and
that
the
famine
which
the
Prophet
speakes
of
doe
fall
vpon
these
Countries
.
That
they
all
had
deserued
this
punishment
thorow
their
vnthankfulnesse
,
security
,
&
contempt
of
the
word
of
God
,
yet
is
to
be
hoped
,
that
if
turning
to
God
with
their
whole
hearts
,
they
shall
repeate
and
implore
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
and
doe
present
their
supplications
to
him
against
the
dismission
of
the
sincere
Preachers
of
the
word
of
God
▪
and
the
change
of
religion
,
which
wil
in
time
proue
hurtful
to
them
and
their
posteritie
:
it
may
come
to
passe
,
that
God
for
the
merit
and
intercession
of
his
sonne
,
and
for
the
glory
of
his
most
holy
name
,
may
repent
him
of
his
purpose
,
and
may
leaue
his
blessing
amongst
them
,
that
they
may
yet
longer
enioy
the
great
Supper
of
his
,
to
which
they
haue
been
inuited
.
Therfore
to
this
end
that
God
is
to
be
inuocated
with
ardent
prayers
,
and
true
groues
,
in
this
manner
.
O
etérnall
God
,
&c.
But
when
this
vnexpected
change
of
Prince
Wolfangus
Guilielmus
,
bred
diuers
thoughts
in
the
minds
not
only
of
the
Courtiers
and
Councellors
,
but
also
of
the
commons
of
those
countries
,
who
professed
the
Augustane
and
reformed
religion
:
the
Prince
to
pacifie
them
and
to
hold
them
within
the
compasse
of
their
obedience
,
published
an
Edict
,
wherein
he
declared
,
that
he
had
no
intention
to
make
any
disturbance
among
his
subiects
in
the
point
of
religion
:
that
he
did
not
only
heare
by
relation
,
but
obserued
it
himselfe
:
that
many
of
his
Officers
,
Councellors
and
other
Ministers
,
as
also
of
his
subiects
dwelling
in
cities
&
villages
,
are
much
troubled
and
perplexed
in
regard
of
his
Christian
conuersion
,
and
publike
confession
,
and
this
his
transition
to
the
ancient
Roman
Church
,
as
if
by
reason
of
the
euident
and
knowne
difference
of
religions
,
he
meant
not
to
maintaine
them
in
the
exercise
of
the
religion
,
but
in
the
point
of
religion
would
make
innouation
,
and
force
them
to
embrace
the
confession
of
a
contrary
religion
.
Therefore
that
no
occasion
may
be
taken
of
alteration
,
and
of
change
of
allegeance
and
dutie
due
vnto
him
,
especially
in
these
touchy
and
dangerous
times
.
And
for
as
much
hee
neuer
intended
any
such
thing
,
that
hee
thought
good
by
these
letters
to
testifie
,
that
he
hath
resolued
not
only
to
depart
from
the
couenants
and
mutual
obligations
passed
,
but
also
with
all
his
power
to
withstand
them
,
who
shall
depart
from
the
same
,
and
to
direct
all
his
actions
to
the
glory
of
God
,
the
safetie
of
his
countrie
,
and
to
the
preseruation
of
iustice
,
which
is
equally
to
bee
administred
to
all
,
without
any
respect
of
religion
.
And
that
he
hopeth
well
,
that
all
and
euery
of
his
Councellors
,
Officers
,
Commanders
and
subiects
,
wil
constantly
continue
in
their
due
obedience
.
For
they
who
shall
doe
the
contrary
,
and
fall
away
from
their
dutie
and
alleagance
,
shall
no
longer
enioy
their
commodities
and
priuiledges
,
which
either
they
receiued
of
their
ancestors
,
or
haue
obtained
by
couenant
and
mutuall
obligation
.
These
letters
being
published
the
14.
of
Iune
,
when
it
was
giuen
out
that
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
went
about
to
bring
in
the
reformed
religion
,
he
also
by
his
Proclamation
professed
,
that
euery
man
shall
enioy
his
religion
,
and
that
none
vnder
his
gouernment
shall
suffer
any
trouble
for
his
conscience
sake
.
Now
for
the
extinguishing
of
the
vnkindnesse
growne
betweene
the
Princes
of
Brandenburge
and
Newburg
,
and
to
compose
all
controuersie
in
a
friendly
manner
,
there
was
a
meeting
appointed
the
10.
of
Iune
,
at
Wesel
,
whether
the
Elector
of
Collen
and
the
vnited
Estates
sent
their
Embassadors
.
Who
when
they
perswaded
the
Newburgians
,
that
they
should
within
three
daies
dismisse
their
souldiers
at
Dusseldorpe
,
both
the
garison
souldiers
and
the
mustered
also
,
and
that
they
should
forbeare
to
fortifie
the
towne
.
The
Newburgians
wondring
at
this
their
Order
,
answered
,
that
if
Gulick
were
restored
into
her
former
estate
,
that
they
would
bee
readie
to
doe
what
lay
in
them
:
but
rather
then
they
would
yeeld
consent
to
the
diuision
of
the
countrie
,
they
would
first
trie
all
manner
of
extremitie
.
Therefore
when
neither
part
would
yeeld
from
their
right
,
that
meeting
was
frustrated
.
The
Newburgians
returning
home
,
when
the
Prince
vnderstood
the
demands
of
the
vnited
Estates
,
to
shew
himselfe
inclinable
for
his
part
,
conceiued
in
writing
certaine
Articles
,
by
which
hee
supposed
a
composition
might
be
made
,
and
caused
it
to
be
presented
to
the
Estates
:
That
the
whole
treatie
at
Wesel
consisted
in
this
,
that
the
Vnited
Estates
did
hold
,
that
the
army
mustered
by
the
Duke
of
Newburge
should
be
dismissed
:
on
the
contrary
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Prince
,
it
was
declared
not
onely
for
what
reasons
that
army
was
leuied
,
but
also
how
necessarie
it
was
,
that
the
army
should
be
withdrawne
from
Gulick
,
and
that
towne
to
be
reduced
to
his
former
estate
.
Therefore
when
as
the
Estates
themselues
haue
by
their
letters
declared
,
that
they
gaue
warrant
to
their
Commissioners
,
to
compose
by
way
of
prouision
at
the
least
al
controuersies
betweene
the
Princes
,
and
to
prouide
,
that
as
well
their
subiects
as
neighbours
,
should
be
preserued
from
al
danger
and
trouble
.
Notwithstanding
that
ielousies
and
distrust
haue
not
a
little
growne
by
this
,
that
against
his
priuitie
and
consent
,
and
otherwise
then
he
had
deserued
of
them
,
he
was
dispossessed
of
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
,
and
his
garrison
souldiers
put
out
of
it
,
which
possession
and
detention
hath
been
hitherto
continued
,
vnder
a
pretence
of
a
common
benefit
to
both
the
Princes
:
whereby
it
is
no
hard
matter
to
conceiue
,
what
suspitions
are
like
to
arise
thereby
in
the
Empire
,
especially
with
the
Emperour
himselfe
,
who
is
chiefe
Lord
of
the
Fee
,
and
other
Electors
and
Princes
,
pretending
any
title
to
those
countries
,
that
he
should
be
so
disturbed
,
in
a
possession
purchased
with
such
danger
,
charge
and
trauell
,
and
the
sequestration
before
time
so
much
misliked
by
the
Estates
of
the
low
Countries
,
and
with
many
reasons
oppugned
against
the
Arch-duke
Leopalde
,
should
there
so
easily
be
allowed
.
Seeing
therefore
there
is
danger
,
lest
those
that
loue
not
the
Prince
should
draw
this
innouation
into
suspition
,
and
make
that
construction
,
that
it
should
be
thought
,
that
more
respect
was
giuen
to
the
Estates
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
,
then
to
the
Emperour
himselfe
,
(
whom
the
Prince
doth
acknowledge
the
chiefe
Magistrate
,
and
Lord
of
the
Fee
)
but
also
would
offend
the
Emperour
,
and
prouoke
him
to
enter
into
a
new
Processe
against
the
posseding
Princes
,
and
so
would
draw
into
danger
a
possession
hitherto
,
procured
with
great
trauell
and
charge
,
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
Prince
,
the
which
notwithstanding
the
Prince
is
loth
to
conceiue
of
the
Estates
vnited
,
since
by
many
letters
they
haue
abundantly
declared
their
good
affection
toward
him
,
therefore
that
the
Prince
doubteth
not
,
but
that
the
Commissioners
deputed
by
the
Electors
and
Estates
vnited
,
to
compound
this
businesse
,
considering
these
reasons
,
wil
do
their
best
endeuour
,
that
restitution
maybe
made
of
the
castle
of
Gulick
,
and
of
all
the
appurtenances
thereto
.
For
first
of
all
,
that
the
Prince
of
Newburg
will
not
refuse
,
(
if
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
will
doe
the
same
)
at
the
first
before
any
restitution
made
,
to
bind
himselfe
by
his
hand
and
seale
,
and
to
promise
in
the
word
of
a
Prince
,
that
he
will
attempt
nothing
against
the
Prince
of
Brandenburg
either
now
or
hereafter
,
but
in
all
points
will
keepe
the
conditions
agreed
vpon
,
and
will
be
a
faithful
and
equall
keeper
of
the
castle
of
Gulicke
,
as
also
of
the
castles
,
townes
,
skonces
,
and
cities
of
these
countries
,
without
any
mans
preiudice
,
for
the
behoofe
and
vse
of
him
who
shall
be
the
lawful
successor
and
possessor
,
that
hee
will
deliuer
them
to
no
third
person
,
whosoeuer
hee
bee
,
that
hee
will
not
vsurpe
no
more
power
ouer
them
,
then
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
,
but
will
gouerne
and
moderate
all
matters
as
before
in
an
indifferent
course
of
friendship
,
euen
vntil
the
controuersie
be
finally
decided
.
But
to
take
away
the
difficultie
which
may
happen
,
about
the
placing
of
an
indifferent
Gouernour
in
the
castle
,
that
the
Prince
of
Newburge
shall
be
well
contented
,
that
by
the
full
consent
of
the
Princes
,
or
of
the
Estates
of
the
country
,
a
certaine
number
of
the
Noble
men
of
the
countrie
,
fit
for
such
a
businesse
should
be
deputed
,
and
from
that
time
after
,
that
the
Gouernours
,
Commanders
,
Lieutenants
,
and
other
officers
,
bee
chosen
by
lot
,
such
as
may
yeeld
to
each
Prince
their
due
obedience
,
and
may
afterwards
submit
themselues
to
him
,
to
whom
the
succession
shal
be
adiudged
:
in
the
meane
time
that
they
do
their
seruice
to
both
the
Princes
,
and
to
the
whole
countrie
,
and
be
maintained
by
them
:
taking
diligent
heed
,
that
no
forrein
souldiers
come
in
amongst
them
,
or
that
their
forces
be
increased
without
the
priuitie
of
the
Princes
,
a
a
law
certaine
also
to
be
made
,
which
should
be
obserued
in
admitting
either
of
the
posseding
Electors
and
Princes
.
Therfore
whatsoeuer
either
of
the
foresaid
Princes
shall
reciprocally
promise
one
to
the
other
,
that
the
Deputies
of
the
Princes
Electors
,
and
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
,
should
not
onely
subscribe
and
confirme
with
their
seales
,
but
should
promise
to
procure
,
that
the
same
shall
be
allowed
and
receiued
of
the
subiects
of
their
Principality
,
the
letters
of
ratification
and
allowance
,
being
sent
to
each
partie
mutually
,
within
the
next
moneth
after
the
transaction
and
agreement
concluded
.
Furthermore
,
that
the
Emperours
consent
also
,
as
the
Lord
Pararamount
is
to
be
entreated
,
and
the
Kings
of
France
and
Britanny
to
be
requested
,
not
onely
by
the
Archbishop
of
Collen
,
and
the
estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
,
but
also
of
both
the
Princes
,
besides
the
neighbour
Electors
and
Princes
,
that
they
would
hold
this
transaction
firme
and
stable
,
and
would
defend
each
part
,
and
maintaine
against
all
vniust
force
.
That
the
Counsellors
of
each
part
bee
admonished
,
that
they
rest
vpon
this
transaction
,
and
attempt
nothing
against
it
.
Besides
a
Parliament
to
bee
summoned
,
and
that
both
the
Princes
should
earnestly
endeuour
that
the
Estates
of
the
Countrey
be
bound
,
to
the
conseruing
of
this
transaction
in
euery
respect
,
and
to
impugne
and
withstand
by
all
means
that
partie
that
shall
violate
the
same
.
When
as
therefore
by
this
meanes
not
only
the
vnited
Estates
,
but
also
all
others
may
be
assured
that
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
,
(
in
the
recouery
whereof
as
they
,
so
also
the
Kings
of
France
and
Brittany
,
the
vnited
Electors
and
Princes
,
yea
euen
the
posseding
Princes
themselues
haue
been
at
great
charge
,
)
shall
neuer
come
into
the
possession
of
any
third
person
,
and
the
Prince
of
Newburge
openly
testifie
,
that
during
this
treaty
his
meaning
is
to
vse
the
souldiers
lying
at
Dusseldorpe
onely
for
the
security
of
himselfe
and
of
the
place
,
and
so
soone
as
the
transaction
is
finished
will
dismisse
them
,
and
enter
into
accord
with
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
,
that
in
himselfe
hee
may
receiue
some
place
for
these
most
equall
conditions
,
that
he
would
beseech
and
admonish
the
deputies
,
that
thus
sundry
grieuances
and
complaints
taken
away
,
there
may
be
a
reconciliation
of
the
parties
procured
,
a
course
may
with
all
speed
bee
taken
for
the
speedy
determination
of
the
controuersie
,
and
that
in
the
meane
time
all
things
may
bee
administred
with
an
indifferent
hand
,
according
to
the
tenour
of
the
former
couenants
.
But
if
the
Commissioners
either
all
or
some
of
them
,
haue
not
warrant
to
condescend
to
these
most
equal
conditions
,
but
shall
thinke
it
necessary
that
this
treaty
should
bee
adiourned
for
two
or
three
weekes
,
vntill
they
may
consult
with
their
principals
(
by
whom
they
are
sent
)
and
know
their
mindes
,
and
that
afterwards
the
same
shall
againe
bee
renued
,
peraduenture
also
with
the
assistance
of
both
the
Kings
,
(
who
are
not
to
be
left
out
in
this
businesse
)
that
the
Prince
will
not
be
against
it
,
so
as
they
vndertake
that
no
matter
of
hostility
shall
be
attempted
on
either
side
.
And
that
he
doth
hope
that
the
Commissioners
will
vse
that
care
in
the
debating
of
the
businesse
,
that
they
may
with
the
more
facility
arriue
to
their
intended
end
,
that
is
,
to
the
restitution
of
their
ancient
confidence
,
and
the
conseruation
of
peace
and
tranquillity
.
The
King
of
Spaine
when
he
vnderstood
what
was
done
touching
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
,
moued
the
Archduke
Albert
to
assist
the
Prince
of
Newburge
,
and
to
that
end
gaue
order
for
the
leuying
of
forces
,
and
for
money
,
which
he
sent
into
the
Low
Countries
.
Therfore
Albert
calling
backe
the
Captaines
and
other
Officers
,
whom
hee
had
before
sent
away
,
and
declared
the
Marques
Spinola
,
Generall
of
the
army
,
to
execute
vpon
the
Cities
of
Aken
and
Mulheme
the
sentence
of
proscription
,
which
the
Emperour
had
made
against
them
,
who
leuied
diuers
Companies
of
horse
and
foot
,
and
prouisions
of
al
kinds
for
the
warre
,
which
was
carried
to
the
Maze
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Estates
of
Holland
laded
three
ships
with
artillerie
,
and
drew
to
Schenke
Skonce
great
forces
,
that
is
,
70.
Companies
of
foot
,
and
18.
troopes
of
horse
,
besides
1500.
Waggons
for
carriage
of
their
prouisions
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Prince
of
Newburge
tooke
diuers
places
in
the
Dition
of
Bercke
,
as
Machem
,
Mandaue
,
Ellersfield
,
and
Burgh
,
which
he
also
fortified
with
men
and
munition
,
and
bearing
himselfe
as
lawfull
successor
,
intending
alone
to
interre
the
body
of
the
dead
Prince
,
without
the
priuity
of
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
,
who
had
withdrawne
al
his
forces
and
stuffe
from
Dusseldorpe
to
Cleue
:
but
hee
was
deterred
from
that
purpose
by
the
perswasion
of
the
Estates
vnited
.
Some
few
yeeres
a
goe
,
there
was
set
forth
a
booke
at
Collen
,
with
this
title
:
Franciscus
Suares
of
Granada
,
of
the
society
of
Iesu
,
Doctor
of
Diuinity
,
his
defence
of
the
Catholike
and
Apostolike
faith
,
against
the
errours
of
the
English
sect
.
This
booke
being
examined
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
and
found
to
containe
in
many
places
diuers
propositions
and
doctrines
,
contrary
to
lawfull
Kings
appointed
by
God
,
and
to
their
regall
power
and
authority
,
and
against
the
peace
and
tranquillity
of
their
kingdomes
,
it
was
vpon
mature
deliberation
decreed
and
sentenced
,
that
those
doctrines
and
positions
so
scandalous
,
seditious
,
and
inuented
and
published
to
the
subuersion
of
kingdomes
and
countries
,
and
to
arme
their
subiects
against
their
Soueraigne
Kings
and
Princes
,
yea
and
also
detected
to
be
manifestly
ful
of
lies
and
blasphemies
,
euen
in
those
places
where
the
examples
of
Clodo●eus
and
Philip
Pulcher
are
alleaged
,
are
therefore
worthie
to
be
burnt
by
the
common
hangman
in
the
outward
Court
of
the
Castle
.
This
done
,
it
was
by
proclamation
forbidden
,
that
no
Printer
should
print
that
Booke
,
or
being
printed
should
bring
it
into
the
kingdom
,
reade
it
,
write
out
,
or
keep
it
,
much
lesse
that
any
should
reade
it
in
schooles
,
or
giue
vp
the
propositions
contained
in
it
to
be
disputed
.
And
a
Decree
further
was
made
,
that
the
Decree
of
Theologicall
faculty
,
made
by
vertue
of
a
Parliament
order
,
published
in
the
yeere
1610.
of
renuing
the
censure
of
doctrines
made
,
anno
1408.
in
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
and
also
in
the
yeers
1578.
and
1595.
together
with
this
late
decree
of
Parliament
,
should
publikely
reade
euery
yeere
the
fourth
of
Iune
,
in
the
Colledges
of
the
Theologicall
faculty
,
and
also
of
the
Priests
and
students
of
Claremount
Colledge
,
and
of
the
begging
Orders
,
and
that
at
the
sute
of
the
Kings
Atturney
General
a
diligent
processe
should
be
made
against
them
,
who
had
written
any
thing
against
this
Prohibition
.
Furthermore
it
was
decreed
,
that
the
Fathers
of
the
society
of
Iesus
,
Ignatius
Armundus
,
Rector
of
Paris
,
Cotton
,
Frontone
,
and
Sirmund
should
forthwith
appeare
in
Parliament
,
and
there
that
they
should
receiue
rebuke
and
taxation
,
in
that
against
their
owne
promise
and
decree
made
by
their
Generall
,
anno
1610.
the
foresaid
booke
was
printed
,
and
was
brought
into
the
City
of
Paris
,
to
annihilate
the
authority
of
the
King
,
to
the
dishonouring
of
his
person
,
and
to
the
disturbance
of
the
peace
of
the
whole
kingdome
,
adding
this
charge
to
them
besides
,
that
they
should
conferre
with
their
Generall
about
the
renuing
of
this
Decree
,
and
publishing
the
same
with
all
speed
,
and
within
the
space
of
six
moneths
next
ensuing
,
should
publish
and
declare
openly
that
thy
haue
obeyed
and
satisfied
this
commandement
of
the
Parliament
,
and
haue
by
their
letters
prouided
,
that
no
such
bookes
hereafter
shall
bee
written
by
any
of
this
society
,
and
published
abrode
.
Besides
the
Iesuites
were
enioyned
,
that
in
their
sermons
they
should
disswade
and
deter
the
people
from
the
liking
of
such
kind
of
propositions
,
and
hereafter
should
teach
and
preach
the
contrary
,
if
they
did
otherwise
,
they
should
bee
pronounced
and
declared
by
the
Parliament
guilty
of
high
Treason
.
All
these
things
were
done
and
published
the
27.
of
Iune
,
in
the
Pallace
of
the
Parliament
,
in
the
presence
of
Ignasius
Armundus
,
Carolus
Tourus
who
appeared
for
Cotton
,
Frontonius
Duke
,
and
Iames
Sirmundus
,
fathers
,
who
were
specially
required
to
be
present
at
this
businesse
.
In
the
former
booke
we
spake
of
Sigefride
Collonitius
,
how
by
an
arrest
made
on
him
he
was
staied
at
Neostade
,
who
not
long
after
was
by
night
carried
to
Vienna
,
and
laid
in
the
prison
,
wherein
wee
mentioned
that
Guntherode
had
been
kept
before
time
.
Comming
to
Vienna
,
by
chance
he
spied
a
certaine
Embassadour
of
Dresda
,
whom
he
entreated
to
procure
him
the
fauour
of
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
who
afterward
did
entreat
in
his
behalfe
to
the
Emperour
in
this
manner
.
That
Rodulph
the
late
Emperour
did
many
times
vse
his
seruice
to
excellent
purposes
against
the
Turkes
,
who
therefore
held
him
in
great
account
,
as
indeed
hee
was
for
his
vertue
a
wonder
to
all
men
,
and
a
terrour
to
his
enemies
.
Therefore
that
he
besought
the
Emperour
,
that
in
regard
of
his
vertue
and
worth
,
and
the
fame
of
his
name
,
hee
would
deale
gratiously
with
him
,
and
restore
him
to
his
liberty
,
especially
since
now
he
hath
made
his
innocency
manifest
to
the
world
.
By
which
act
,
he
shall
not
only
bind
the
loue
of
Collonitius
and
all
worthy
souldiers
to
himselfe
,
but
shall
take
away
from
others
all
occasion
of
sinister
conceit
,
that
this
which
he
suffers
is
for
his
religion
and
conscience
.
In
like
manner
the
Count
of
Thuron
entreated
the
Emperour
in
his
behalfe
,
alleaging
that
it
was
not
only
permitted
,
but
also
commanded
by
God
that
one
should
sue
for
another
;
and
therefore
that
hee
trusting
to
the
Emperours
singular
grace
and
clemency
could
not
forbeare
,
but
at
the
earnest
request
of
Collonitius
,
to
interpose
his
prayer
and
intreatie
in
his
behalfe
.
For
he
had
been
in
former
times
his
fellow-souldier
,
in
the
warre
against
the
Turkes
,
wherein
he
carried
himselfe
faithfully
and
resolutely
,
and
by
his
famous
exploits
in
that
seruice
,
and
valiant
deeds
hath
purchased
a
name
,
that
in
those
parts
will
neuer
bee
forgotten
.
Now
if
vpon
any
weakenesse
or
ouersight
hee
hath
committed
any
fault
,
he
doth
beseech
his
Maiestie
,
that
in
regard
of
the
faithfull
seruices
,
which
he
hath
done
to
the
house
of
Austria
,
he
would
please
to
pardon
it
,
as
proceeding
not
of
mallice
,
and
that
out
of
his
grace
and
goodnesse
,
hee
would
discharge
him
of
the
arrest
,
and
suffer
him
to
answer
freely
for
himselfe
.
To
this
time
the
Turkes
with
their
incursions
and
depopulations
into
the
countries
adioyning
,
did
the
Christians
much
mischiefe
.
And
hauing
driuen
a
great
multitude
of
cattell
,
were
at
last
encountred
in
the
way
by
the
Heyduccians
,
in
number
about
800.
who
in
a
skirmish
put
the
Turkes
to
flight
,
halfe
a
mile
from
Agria
,
and
recouered
the
bootie
out
of
their
hands
.
The
Bashaw
of
Agria
vnderstanding
this
defeate
,
drawing
foorth
1000.
of
his
garrison
souldiers
,
renued
the
fight
,
but
was
so
receiued
by
the
said
Heyduccians
,
that
he
was
beaten
,
hauing
lost
200.
souldiers
,
and
his
horse
slaine
vnder
him
,
that
he
had
much
a
doe
to
escape
.
The
Heyduccians
encouraged
with
this
successe
,
marched
further
,
and
on
the
sudden
assaulting
a
castle
vpon
Solnocke
,
tooke
it
,
and
carried
away
great
store
of
goods
and
cattell
.
Others
skowring
the
countrie
towards
Buda
,
by
chance
light
vpon
a
Lady
going
to
be
married
from
Strigonium
to
Buda
,
whom
they
chased
,
&
brought
away
a
great
deale
of
wealth
,
which
they
tooke
from
the
company
.
Not
long
after
hauing
battered
the
castles
of
Balastera
,
Micoluta
and
Fellaco
,
they
ouerthrew
500.
Turkes
and
more
,
and
sacked
and
spoiled
all
those
places
about
,
and
when
the
Turkes
asked
,
why
they
so
vniustly
brake
the
Peace
,
they
answered
,
that
they
gaue
the
occasion
,
by
the
depopulations
and
excursions
which
they
●…de
,
but
they
for
their
parts
were
good
fellowes
,
that
nei●●er
cared
for
the
Roman
,
nor
the
Turkish
Emperour
.
Some
few
yeeres
passed
,
there
arose
certaine
contentions
betweene
the
Citizens
and
Senate
of
Frankford
,
about
the
publication
of
priuiledges
,
which
had
been
decreed
and
promised
them
by
the
Emperour
:
for
the
appeasing
and
reconciling
of
which
differences
,
were
deputed
Commissioners
by
the
Emperour
,
Iohn
Schuichardus
,
Elector
of
Mentz
,
and
Lewes
,
the
Lantgraue
of
Hassia
:
who
,
after
long
and
painefull
examination
of
the
businesse
,
brought
the
matter
to
that
passe
,
that
they
accorded
vpon
certaine
articles
,
of
which
we
will
onely
mention
the
chiefest
.
First
,
that
the
Senate
should
faithfully
deliuer
,
and
open
all
the
priuiledges
of
the
citie
,
7.
persons
being
selected
for
the
executing
of
the
businesse
,
an
oath
being
first
taken
of
them
,
in
whole
custodie
the
Records
are
kept
,
that
nothing
shall
be
carried
out
of
the
Office
,
and
next
of
the
persons
selected
,
or
deputed
,
for
the
reuiew
of
the
priuiledges
,
that
if
they
find
any
which
may
be
preiudiciall
to
the
citie
,
they
shall
conceale
them
:
and
other
,
if
they
shall
seeme
profitable
for
the
citizens
,
that
they
shall
faithfully
reueale
and
discouer
them
to
the
Commons
.
Many
other
articles
were
agreed
vpon
,
which
rather
concerned
priuate
commoditie
,
then
the
publick
administration
of
the
common
weale
.
But
the
differences
between
the
citizens
and
the
Senat
were
composed
,
and
that
the
Peace
and
friendship
might
the
better
be
preserued
betweene
them
hereafter
,
and
that
both
obedience
and
respect
might
be
yeelded
to
the
Senate
,
and
the
Citizens
without
impeach
enioy
their
liberties
and
priuiledges
,
there
was
decreed
solemnly
a
publike
release
and
obiteration
of
all
those
things
,
which
during
these
troubles
haue
been
done
or
said
vrgently
betweene
them
:
that
none
of
those
things
should
be
preiudiciall
to
any
.
Furthermore
,
that
they
should
forbeare
all
secret
conuenticles
and
factions
,
and
especially
that
none
,
either
Senator
or
Citizen
should
vndertake
or
attempt
any
thing
against
this
transaction
:
the
which
since
,
the
Emperor
at
the
earnest
request
of
the
foresaid
Commissioners
,
the
Senat
and
the
Citizens
hath
ratified
,
and
confirmed
by
his
speciall
rescript
.
The
Companies
of
Smolensco
,
who
returned
home
〈◊〉
of
the
warre
of
Mosco
,
did
with
great
importunity
chalenge
their
pay
,
and
made
great
vprores
in
Polonia
and
the
Countries
thereabout
,
killing
of
the
Countrie
men
,
with
no
lesse
cruelty
and
furie
then
if
they
had
been
in
the
enemies
Countrey
,
spoiling
and
burning
all
where
they
came
.
Therefore
the
Elector
of
Brandenburge
,
to
remoue
such
a
mischiefe
from
the
borders
of
his
Countrey
,
put
his
subiects
into
armes
,
and
sent
to
the
Bishop
of
Halles
many
waggons
laden
with
prouisions
for
warre
.
The
Elector
of
Saxonie
following
his
example
,
mustered
vp
his
souldiers
also
,
and
taking
great
quantities
of
armes
out
of
his
storehouses
of
Dresda
,
and
Witemberge
and
his
other
armories
,
caused
them
to
bee
carried
to
diuers
Castles
and
Townes
.
When
the
rumor
was
spread
of
the
Gouernour
of
Millaine
,
the
Dukes
of
Mantua
,
Sauoy
,
and
Lorraine
,
and
others
,
that
they
had
a
mighty
armie
in
readinesse
,
the
vnited
Electors
and
Princes
,
were
from
diuers
places
admonished
,
that
they
should
take
circumspect
heed
of
a
sudden
irruption
;
in
the
meane
time
the
Moscouites
making
a
sudden
incursion
into
Lithuania
,
infested
and
annoyed
all
the
Countrey
about
with
burning
and
spoyling
.
The
Tartars
in
like
manner
wasting
and
making
hauocke
in
the
confines
of
Polonia
.
The
12.
of
August
died
the
illustrious
Prince
,
Philip
Ludouicke
the
old
Duke
of
Newburge
,
who
by
his
last
Testament
made
the
Duke
of
Wittemberge
,
and
the
Marquesse
of
Durlace
his
Executors
.
At
this
time
the
Prouinciall
Diet
was
held
at
Lints
,
wherein
all
the
hereditarie
Prouinces
of
the
Emperour
,
the
Bohemians
,
Austriacks
,
Styrians
,
Carinthians
,
Carniolanes
,
Silesians
,
Lusatians
,
Morauians
and
Hungarians
were
assembled
.
It
was
propounded
in
that
assembly
,
that
of
the
Turkes
part
the
peace
was
broken
,
by
reason
of
many
excursions
,
and
direptions
of
men
and
cattell
,
and
other
hostile
attempts
of
that
kind
,
and
that
so
much
more
certainely
,
that
besides
Valachia
and
Moldauia
,
hee
hath
made
challenge
to
Transyluania
as
his
proper
inheritance
,
and
hath
fortified
it
with
Garrison
souldiers
,
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Gabriel
Bethline
,
hath
assembled
the
States
of
the
Countrey
,
and
hath
denounced
by
his
letters
to
the
Emperour
,
that
he
should
forbeare
to
intermeddle
in
the
Countrie
.
There
was
mention
made
of
Gabriel
Bethline
,
that
he
hath
made
him
Gouernour
,
and
the
Turkes
Vassall
,
that
this
Prouince
might
be
vnited
to
the
Turkes
Empire
;
since
then
it
brings
more
hurt
then
profit
to
the
Christian
world
,
it
seemeth
no
part
of
wisedome
to
abandon
the
Countrey
to
the
Turkes
,
especially
considering
the
benefit
which
it
bringeth
to
the
Turke
,
and
the
mischiefe
it
bringeth
to
the
Christians
,
seeing
it
is
so
opportune
for
each
party
to
make
warre
against
the
other
.
That
it
is
no
expecting
the
ratification
of
the
peace
,
seeing
the
Sultan
will
by
no
meanes
suffer
that
the
Prouince
should
sweare
to
them
both
.
Furthermore
,
it
was
in
the
Parliament
demanded
,
since
things
hold
no
longer
currant
,
but
the
Sultan
laies
claime
to
the
Prouince
,
nor
will
suffer
that
hereafter
the
Germanes
should
giue
lawes
to
the
Transyluanians
,
what
should
be
answered
to
the
Turke
touching
all
these
things
:
and
since
the
Turkish
Embassadour
hath
come
without
any
commission
against
the
expresse
conditions
of
peace
,
&
the
Sultan
hath
no
wil
to
ratifie
the
sixth
Article
of
the
transaction
,
if
his
Embassadour
is
to
be
admitted
,
and
his
letters
to
be
receiued
by
the
Emperour
,
to
whom
onely
it
is
fit
they
should
bee
deliuered
.
The
last
question
was
this
,
whether
a
new
transaction
bee
to
bee
made
with
the
Sultan
,
since
hee
refused
to
ratifie
the
former
,
and
whether
the
Sultan
stand
to
his
promises
or
not
(
as
hee
hath
done
about
Moldauia
,
Valachia
,
and
Transyluania
)
if
hee
should
inuade
Hungary
before
this
Parliament
bee
finished
,
what
is
to
bee
done
,
should
the
Emperour
descend
to
a
meane
of
pasification
,
which
by
him
hath
not
hitherto
been
violated
?
In
the
meane
time
came
the
Turkes
Embassadour
to
Lints
,
by
sea
.
Therefore
those
Delegates
which
were
there
present
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
hereditarie
Prouinces
and
kingdomes
,
without
delay
deliuered
to
the
Emperour
their
answeres
to
al
the
propounded
articles
of
the
present
consultation
:
whose
opinion
was
,
that
it
behoued
the
Hungars
to
deuise
a
meane
how
this
transaction
made
with
the
Sultan
might
be
kept
on
foot
,
and
yet
without
preiudice
to
the
Emperours
authority
,
and
in
regard
of
the
future
and
imminent
necessity
,
that
necessary
meanes
might
bee
prouided
for
the
defence
of
the
Countrie
.
The
Transyluanians
by
all
meanes
labouring
,
and
deprecating
,
that
no
army
may
set
foot
within
their
Prouince
.
During
this
Parliament
the
Mandate
Declaratorie
of
the
proscription
in
the
businesse
of
Aken
,
was
published
in
Frankford
the
23.
of
August
,
by
the
Subdelegates
of
the
Emperour
,
to
this
effect
.
That
after
his
happy
accesse
to
the
Empire
,
hee
vsed
all
speciall
diligence
immediately
,
that
in
all
places
iustice
might
bee
restored
to
her
brightnesse
;
and
by
this
as
by
a
meane
the
peace
and
concord
of
all
estates
and
members
of
the
Empire
might
be
conserued
.
Therefore
after
that
hee
vnderstood
in
the
very
entrance
to
the
Empire
,
of
the
troubles
and
confusions
which
fell
out
from
the
yeere
1611.
in
his
and
the
imperiall
city
of
Aken
,
as
well
in
ciuill
as
Ecclesiasticall
matters
,
that
he
tooke
especiall
care
and
notice
of
this
businesse
,
and
vnderstood
all
which
was
at
large
opened
by
both
the
sides
,
as
wel
in
the
behalfe
of
the
old
Catholike
Senate
,
as
of
them
who
now
are
in
place
of
authority
,
first
at
Vienna
,
and
next
at
Ratisbone
:
moreouer
that
he
might
vnderstand
the
whole
truth
,
sent
from
his
Court
to
this
City
honorable
Commissioners
the
next
yeere
1613.
that
by
this
meanes
hee
might
bee
the
surer
not
to
swarue
from
iustice
in
the
future
decision
of
the
businesse
:
and
how
hee
hath
with
mature
deliberation
examined
,
whatsoeuer
hath
been
written
to
him
in
this
case
by
the
Electors
,
Princes
,
and
the
Estates
Imperiall
,
of
both
Religions
,
and
hath
omitted
no
meanes
which
might
in
any
sort
make
for
the
true
knowledge
of
this
businesse
.
And
that
it
is
euident
by
all
the
Acts
and
Records
made
in
the
course
of
iustice
,
that
when
in
the
yeere
1582.
the
first
stirre
began
in
this
City
,
whereby
the
Senate
was
remoued
from
his
authority
,
and
a
great
change
made
as
well
in
Ecclesiasticall
as
in
ciuill
matters
,
his
brother
Rodulphus
Caesar
,
out
of
his
fatherly
affection
to
this
City
,
thought
it
to
belong
to
his
duty
,
maturely
to
prouide
by
what
meanes
this
fire
might
be
put
out
:
for
euen
for
this
cause
that
he
appointed
the
next
neighbouring
Princes
to
this
City
,
and
Estates
of
the
Empire
,
as
the
Bishop
of
Leige
,
the
Duke
of
Iuliers
and
Cleue
,
Philip
Buron
of
Vimeberge
,
and
Philip
Earle
of
Nassaw
,
the
Commissioners
,
who
were
very
carefull
and
diligent
to
compose
this
busines
,
but
could
not
preuaile
with
these
troublesome
spirits
,
who
neglecting
the
whole
authoritie
of
the
Emperour
,
and
the
Commissioners
,
tooke
vp
armes
in
all
fury
,
seazed
themselues
on
the
publike
armorie
,
and
on
the
Senate
;
that
the
Emperour
when
hee
vnderstood
this
,
yet
proceeded
not
to
extremitie
of
law
,
as
yet
,
but
euen
vsed
all
gentlenesse
,
and
gaue
a
second
Commission
to
the
Electors
Iohn
of
Triers
,
and
Augustus
of
Saxony
;
but
for
all
that
,
could
preuaile
no
more
then
before
,
further
then
that
their
Subdelegates
,
who
setting
a
part
the
danger
of
these
troubles
,
aduentured
themselues
into
the
citie
,
after
much
losse
of
time
and
paines
,
they
left
a
plea
of
Recesse
there
,
which
each
part
might
vse
to
the
finall
determination
of
the
cause
,
in
the
Diet
to
be
kept
at
Augusta
,
anno
1582.
That
they
did
not
onely
accept
of
this
Recesse
,
but
also
deliuered
their
complaints
to
Rodulphus
Caesar
,
and
spent
many
yeeres
in
pursuing
the
businesse
before
him
,
vntill
at
last
anno
1593.
being
summoned
to
heare
the
definitiue
sentence
they
appeared
,
for
there
in
the
presence
of
the
Emperour
,
and
with
his
allowance
,
the
sentence
was
published
against
the
defendants
in
this
manner
:
That
those
things
which
had
been
done
in
the
citie
,
in
a
furious
and
vnlawfull
maner
,
should
be
accounted
as
void
,
and
that
all
things
ought
to
be
restored
into
the
same
state
,
wherein
they
were
before
the
innouation
.
But
whereas
the
other
side
which
quailed
in
the
iudgement
,
did
not
as
yet
satisfie
the
excecutorie
decree
of
the
Emperour
,
it
fell
so
out
,
that
in
the
yeere
1598.
that
is
,
the
fiftie
after
the
condemnation
,
and
publication
of
the
definitiue
sentence
,
the
sentence
of
proscription
was
pronounced
against
them
,
for
this
insolent
and
stubborne
contumacie
of
theirs
.
By
this
course
,
being
at
the
last
brought
to
submission
,
and
when
vpon
their
othes
they
promised
that
they
would
in
euery
point
obey
the
Emperors
commandement
,
they
were
againe
by
the
Emperor
receiued
into
fauor
.
But
afterward
in
the
13.
yere
after
,
when
not
only
against
the
executory
sentence
published
,
and
the
declaration
of
the
proscription
made
,
but
also
against
the
sworne
submission
of
the
condemned
persons
,
who
notwithstanding
for
the
most
part
were
not
natiue
citizens
,
but
strangers
,
and
forreiners
comming
from
other
places
.
That
the
Emperor
Rodulphus
tooke
that
behauiour
of
theirs
in
very
il
part
,
as
a
thing
exceeding
contrary
and
preiudiciall
to
his
authoritie
and
dignitie
,
in
regard
of
the
sentence
passed
,
and
the
matter
iudged
already
,
and
forthwith
to
iustifie
and
make
good
his
authoritie
published
against
this
tumultuous
&
sedicious
company
,
a
very
seuere
penall
decree
,
with
this
meaning
,
that
they
should
giue
ouer
these
attempts
,
and
at
the
last
obey
the

they
should
discharge
their
owne
promises
.
And
although
he
bee
gone
to
heauen
,
yet
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
if
he
had
liued
longer
,
he
would
neuer
haue
endured
this
iniurie
done
to
his
imperiall
authoritie
and
dignitie
,
especially
seeing
he
had
in
his
life
appointed
Ernest
Arch-bishop
of
Collen
,
and
Albert
the
Archduke
his
brother
his
Commissioners
,
for
the
pacifying
that
tumult
,
and
executing
his
decree
,
with
most
absolute
power
to
execute
the

.
But
for
as
much
as
he
being
dead
,
in

of

,
and
during

,
a

to
the
mischiefe

of

,
who
now
had
won
the

,
which
they

,
but
also
to
the

,
that

should
without
any
iudicial

that

after

of

vsed
touching

This
Mandate
Declaratory
,
dated
the
20.
of
Feb.
at
Budouitium
,
when
it
came
to
Albertus
the
Archd.
hands
,
the
execution
therof
was
by
him
committed
to
the
Marques
Spinola
,
who
incontinently
mustring
vp
30000.
horse
and
foote
about
the
Thine
,
departed
to
Maesstriht
,
with
400.
waggons
,
and
80.
peeces
of
great
ordinance
,
and
from
thence
marched
to
Aken
,
bearing
on
his
Tent
the
Eagle
,
the
ensigne
of
the
Empire
.
When
he
was
come
before
the
towne
21.
August
,
and
with
great
speed
had
pitched
his
campe
,
and
placed
his
ordinance
,
the
next
day
he
sent
his
messengers
into
the
citie
,
to
acquaint
the
Senate
and
Townesmen
with
his
commission
,
and
the
Emperours
commandement
,
who
presently
assembling
the
Companies
,
entred
into
deliberation
,
how
to
giue
speedy
remedy
to
these
mischiefes
,
that
the
citie
might
be
spared
.
Therefore
after
diuers
consultations
,
the
conclusion
was
,
that
the
Clergy
with
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
with
other
principal
Burgers
,
should
goe
to
Spinola
,
and
humbly
intreate
of
him
fauor
in
the
behalfe
of
the
towne
and
the
inhabitants
.
Which
when
they
had
done
,
after
a
very
little
conference
,
the
city
was
yeelded
to
the
Emperours
pleasure
.
The
towne
being
giuen
vp
,
the
souldiers
of
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
were
dismissed
out
of
the
towne
,
with
their
armes
and
colours
displaid
,
the
24.
of
August
,
and
twelue
ensignes
of
horse
and
foote
brought
into
the
towne
:
vpon
whose
entrie
,
the
gates
were
shut
,
that
none
might
passe
any
way
.
After
this
,
the
new
Senate
of
the
Protestants
being
dismissed
,
the
other
Popish
Senate
,
which
had
been
discharged
,
was
restored
to
his
former
place
,
and
from
that
28.
day
,
was
had
the
first
meeting
in
the
Senate
to
begin
publike
consultations
:
and
certaine
souldiers
,
by
whose
helpe
,
one
of
the
Consuls
had
escaped
ouer
the
walles
out
of
the
towne
,
and
some
others
,
who
were
reckoned
the
chiefe
authors
of
these
troubles
,
were
committed
to
prison
.
The
15.
of
September
last
,
were
two
great
Armadaes
in
a
readines
,
the
one
of
the
Turkes
,
to
the
number
of
65.
Gallies
,
which
lay
at
Nauarine
in
Morea
,
which
was
the
old
Peloponesus
in
Greece
:
another
of
the
Christians
,
who
haue
85.
Gallies
well
appointed
at
Messina
in
Sicilie
,
who
had
then
taken
two
of
the
Turkes
Gallies
spies
.
It
is
suspected
the
Turke
intends
this
preparation
for
Calabria
,
the
countrie
is
likewise
prepared
to
bid
him
welcome
.
The
matter
thus
ordered
at
Aken
,
Spinola
with
his
armie
marched
toward
Duren
,
whom
the
townes-men
met
in
the
way
,
and
deliuered
him
the
keyes
,
as
to
the
Emperours
Lieutenant
.
In
this
time
the
Prince
of
Newburge
leuied
his
forces
,
which
consisted
of
800.
horse
,
and
5000.
foote
,
and
the
Count
of
Ridberge
was
employed
to
leuie
more
souldiers
.
On
the
other
side
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
gaue
order
to
his
Captaines
and
Officers
to
leuie
three
Companies
of
foot
,
and
1000.
horse
.
Also
the
Palatine
Elector
vsed
great
diligence
in
leuying
of
forces
,
which
hee
drew
to
Bilifield
to
the
appointed
place
vpon
the
marches
of
his
Countrey
,
commanding
his
subiects
that
they
should
be
ready
if
occasion
of
seruice
should
require
.
Spinola
after
that
he
had
left
souldiers
in
Duren
,
marched
to
Mulheme
,
which
he
tooke
,
and
leauing
500.
men
to
throw
downe
and
to
raze
the
trenches
and
bulwarkes
of
that
place
,
departed
and
tooke
in
Berchem
,
Castre
,
Greuenbruke
,
and
other
small
townes
,
and
put
souldiers
to
keep
them
.
Afterward
going
to
Rhinbirke
,
he
made
a
bridge
of
boates
ouer
the
Rhine
,
that
he
might
passe
his
armie
for
Wesell
,
Rese
,
and
Emmericke
.
This
vnexpected
iourney
of
Spinola
,
and
successe
especially
at
a
time
when
there
was
now
begun
a
friendly
treaty
,
the
Embassadors
of
the
Kings
of
Britanie
and
France
being
present
,
and
interceding
for
peace
,
gaue
occasion
to
the
Estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
to
suspect
ill
dealing
:
which
caused
them
with
all
celerity
and
speed
to
gather
their
forces
and
to
hasten
into
the
field
.
The
Emperours
Mandate
being
published
at
Franckfort
,
as
we
haue
related
before
,
that
none
should
be
so
hardy
as
to
hinder
the
ancient
Senate
,
but
that
they
may
enioy
their
former
place
,
when
the
time
of
submission
was
now
at
hand
,
the
Substitutes
of
the
Elector
of
Mentz
,
and
Prince
of
Darmestadte
,
came
into
the
City
the
11.
and
12.
of
August
,
and
shewing
their
letters
of
warrant
,
carefully
aduised
the
Citizens
to
obedience
.
The
Citizens
a
little
before
this
time
had
sent
certaine
messengers
to
Lints
,
who
exhibiting
complaints
against
the
old
Senate
to
Caesar
,
should
entreat
that
this
abrogation
of
their
authority
might
be
ratified
by
the
Emperour
.
But
because
they
were
not
as
yet
returned
,
a
writing
was
deliuered
to
the
Substitutes
,
and
a
request
made
by
the
Citizens
that
the
execution
of
this
Mandate
might
be
respited
but
vntill
the
returne
of
those
Citizens
,
adding
this
protestation
,
that
if
it
so
fell
out
that
the
Emperour
continued
in
the
same
mind
still
,
that
they
would
not
be
against
it
,
but
in
all
points
would
obey
his
pleasure
.
In
the
meane
time
some
of
the
old
Senators
had
taken
their
place
againe
,
and
now
the
time
appointed
in
the
Mandate
for
submission
was
at
hand
.
Therfore
they
sent
for
the
seruants
of
sundry
tradesmen
,
the
22.
of
August
,
opened
vnto
them
the
meaning
of
the
Mandate
,
and
to
auoide
the
danger
and
mischiefe
that
might
be
fall
them
therby
,
aduised
them
by
all
meanes
,
that
they
would
not
sticke
to
their
masters
and
Lords
,
but
depart
some
whither
out
of
the
City
for
a
time
.
Then
there
went
a
rumor
abroad
,
that
they
who
were
noted
to
be
disobedient
,
should
shortly
see
their
names
fastened
to
the
gallowes
.
This
report
whether
it
proceeded
from
the
Substitutes
,
which
they
haue
constantly
denied
,
but
the
other
affirmed
,
or
whether
it
was
deuised
by
some
other
,
which
is
more
probable
,
certainely
it
was
the
cause
of
a
great
vprore
in
the
City
.
For
the
common
people
transported
with
rage
and
fury
,
did
in
flockes
runne
vp
and
downe
the
towne
,
and
began
to
encourage
and
prouoke
one
another
to
commit
some
notable
outrage
,
vntill
toward
euening
,
the
whole
force
of
their
madnesse
being
conuerted
into
the
Iewes
street
,
they
spoiled
and
ransacked
the
same
.
The
Iewes
at
the
first
withstood
them
,
and
with
barrecadoes
of
all
manner
of
stuffe
defended
their
houses
,
being
assisted
by
some
of
the
Citizens
themselues
.
But
the
numbers
of
the
raging
multitude
encreasing
more
and
more
,
and
the
rascals
and
loose
people
flocking
out
of
all
quarters
and
corners
of
the
towne
,
and
mixing
themselues
with
the
seruants
and
prentises
gathered
such
a
head
,
that
they
were
past
resistance
,
the
Consuls
themselues
and
other
good
Citizens
being
vnable
to
preuaile
against
their
furie
,
either
by
force
or
by
perswasion
,
for
the
rage
the
more
encreased
,
the
more
it
fell
out
that
any
were
wounded
in
the
tumult
.
For
one
was
wounded
in
the
arme
,
another
in
the
eare
,
another
in
the
eye
:
some
being
wounded
to
death
fell
to
the
ground
.
The
next
day
the
Citizens
armed
themselues
,
and
came
vp
with
a
competent
number
of
horse
and
foote
into
the
street
,
and
taking
the
goods
from
those
loose
fellowes
,
whom
they
could
light
on
in
the
streets
,
caused
them
to
be
laid
vp
for
the
owners
.
So
there
was
an
end
made
of
this
robbing
and
mutiny
.
The
Iewes
moued
with
the
feare
of
this
vprore
,
to
the
number
of
1500.
forsooke
the
City
,
resoluing
to
dwell
somewhere
else
.
Marquesse
Spinola
in
the
meane
time
comming
to
Rhinberke
,
resolued
to
besiege
Wesell
,
accompanied
with
12000.
horse
and
foote
.
The
Vesalians
vnderstanding
this
determination
of
Spinola
,
presently
dispatched
messengers
to
Rhinberke
,
to
gratulate
his
comming
,
and
to
present
him
with
certaine
cartlodes
of
wine
,
and
to
desire
of
him
the
cause
of
his
comming
,
that
they
might
giue
him
satisfaction
;
who
answered
them
,
that
they
must
restore
the
City
into
the
same
condition
and
state
of
gouernment
wherein
it
stood
in
the
time
of
Charles
the
fifth
,
and
receiue
his
Garrison
into
the
towne
.
When
this
answere
was
deliuered
to
the
Citizens
assembled
in
the
Parish
Church
,
they
bound
themselues
instantly
by
mutual
othes
,
that
they
would
fight
to
the
last
gaspe
for
their
Countrey
,
and
die
and
liue
together
in
the
quarrell
.
But
Spinola
the
23.
of
August
approching
with
all
his
Camp
neerer
to
the
towne
,
sent
certaine
Companies
aforehand
to
make
an
assault
vpon
the
walles
:
which
the
townes-men
issuing
out
of
the
towne
receiued
in
such
manner
,
that
they
slew
very
many
of
them
,
especially
with
the
great
Ordinance
,
which
played
from
the
towne
:
but
Spinola
marching
neere
with
the
the
rest
of
the
armie
,
they
retired
into
the
towne
:
But
he
caused
18.
Murall
engins
to
be
set
against
one
place
of
the
wall
,
threw
downe
one
of
the
gates
of
the
towne
,
which
with
the
fall
oppressed
diuers
,
and
stroke
such
a
terrour
into
the
minds
of
the
Citizens
,
that
the
women
in
all
places
came
with
their
children
running
to
the
walles
,
and
with
weeping
and
wringing
of
hands
entreated
Spinola
to
spare
them
.
A
treaty
hereupon
appointed
,
an
agreement
was
made
,
that
one
thousand
souldiers
should
bee
receiued
into
the
City
,
and
should
be
billeted
by
the
Magistrate
vpon
diuers
houses
,
who
notwithstanding
liuing
vnder
military
Discipline
,
should
bee
no
burthen
to
the
townes-men
,
nor
receiue
either
meate
or
money
of
them
.
2.
That
Gulicke
being
once
restored
to
the
former
estate
,
by
the
Estates
of
the
Vnited
Prouinces
,
the
City
should
be
againe
discharged
of
these
Companies
of
souldiers
.
3.
That
no
change
should
be
made
either
in
ciuil
matters
,
or
Ecclesiasticall
,
and
those
which
concerne
religion
.
4.
That
the
City
should
retaine
all
her
priuiledges
without
impeachment
.
5.
That
by
this
occasion
no
preiudice
should
be
offered
to
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
.
6.
That
his
Officers
and
Ministers
with
all
their
armes
and
prouisions
might
remaine
in
the
City
so
long
as
please
them
.
7.
That
the
City
should
keepe
still
their
Ordinances
and
all
Prouision
for
war
in
their
possession
.
8.
That
the
Garrison
souldiers
of
the
City
should
depart
with
al
their
armes
.
9.
That
it
should
bee
free
for
any
Citizen
to
depart
out
of
the
City
,
whensoeuer
hee
would
.
These
conditions
being
subscribed
by
Spinola
,
and
after
to
be
confirmed
by
the
Prince
of
Newburge
,
the
City
was
deliuered
into
Spinola
his
hands
.
While
these
matters
passed
in
this
manner
,
Graue
Maurice
,
Count
of
Nassau
,
drew
out
his
forces
to
the
number
of
eighteene
thousand
horse
and
foot
,
appointing
his
rendeuous
at
Schencke
Sconce
,
and
taking
to
him
William
Henry
Fredericke
,
and
Iohn
Ernest
,
Count
Chastilion
also
,
and
Sir
Horace
Vere
,
and
many
other
braue
Commanders
,
marching
with
his
whole
armie
by
water
and
land
,
hee
came
before
Emericke
,
and
suddenly
surprised
the
towne
,
and
put
a
guard
in
it
.
Next
he
marched
to
Rese
.
Now
the
townes-men
a
little
before
had
sent
their
Consul
to
Spinola
,
promising
him
that
they
would
receiue
a
guard
from
him
.
But
when
his
Excellency
had
pitched
his
Campe
,
and
summoned
the
towne
to
yeeld
themselues
,
they
refused
,
&
discharged
their
Ordinance
against
the
Spaniards
,
which
Spinola
sent
with
their
consent
,
professing
that
they
would
bee
neutrall
,
and
would
receiue
no
guard
from
one
side
or
other
.
The
Spaniards
being
thus
sent
away
and
deluded
,
his
Excellency
commanded
that
the
Artillary
,
and
all
prouision
should
bee
made
ready
to
batter
the
towne
which
he
intended
to
do
very
strongly
:
but
the
Burgers
when
they
saw
there
was
no
remedy
,
yeelded
the
towne
,
and
receiued
a
guard
from
his
Excellency
:
who
from
thence
marching
further
,
tooke
in
Gocha
,
Calcar
,
Gunep
,
and
other
townes
situate
in
those
quarters
.
In
the
meane
time
Spinola
neglecting
the
conditions
of
the
treaty
made
with
them
of
Wesell
,
encreased
his
guard
against
his
promise
and
faith
giuen
:
for
he
brought
in
three
thousand
souldiers
to
the
great
hurt
of
the
City
,
and
so
terrified
the
Burgers
,
as
he
had
done
before
at
Duisburge
,
that
not
one
Preacher
durst
dare
to
preach
in
publike
,
in
so
much
as
their
Churches
seemed
to
be
desolate
.
But
further
making
a
bridge
of
boates
ouer
the
Rhine
,
betweene
Wesell
and
Buricke
,
part
of
his
armie
he
sent
to
take
Sante
,
part
he
employed
to
raise
a
bulwarke
vpon
the
Rhine
anenst
Wesel
,
by
that
meanes
to
keepe
both
the
passage
of
the
Riuer
,
and
the
City
it selfe
in
his
power
.
There
had
been
carried
from
the
siege
of
Gulicke
into
the
towne
of
Wesell
,
22.
peeces
of
great
Ordinance
,
with
exceeding
store
of
powder
and
shot
.
All
which
hee
permitted
to
bee
taken
away
,
and
to
bee
restored
to
the
Prince
of
Brandenburge
.
But
his
Excellency
marching
on
still
,
drew
so
neere
to
Spinola
,
that
he
ioyned
Tents
with
Spinolaes
Tents
,
in
so
much
as
the
P●rdues
and
Sentinels
might
not
onely
talke
,
but
also
eate
and
drinke
together
.
And
when
hee
desired
to
see
the
letters
of
his
commission
,
that
he
might
know
in
whose
name
he
entred
into
this
expedition
,
Spinola
desired
his
Excellency
that
hee
would
in
like
sort
satisfie
him
,
who
caused
so
many
Trumpeters
to
sound
the
trumpet
,
as
he
had
noble
personages
in
his
Campe.
But
to
the
declaration
of
the
Estates
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
,
that
they
would
deliuer
the
Castle
of
Gulicke
by
way
of
sequestration
to
the
two
Embassadors
of
the
Kings
of
Britanny
and
France
,
the
Elector
of
Cullen
answered
:
That
he
knew
not
the
minds
of
both
the
Princes
,
whether
they
will
assent
to
this
motion
or
no
:
and
that
hee
knew
as
little
whether
these
Embassadours
haue
sufficient
warrant
from
the
Kings
their
Masters
to
doe
the
same
:
that
as
hee
conceiued
,
it
was
a
businesse
rather
of
priuate
honour
,
then
the
good
of
the
Countrey
which
was
stood
vpon
.
That
it
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
hee
loseth
nothing
of
his
honour
,
who
restores
that
which
is
not
his
owne
;
therefore
it
should
bee
fit
for
the
common
good
,
that
on
both
sides
restitution
should
bee
made
of
all
places
,
and
all
questions
which
haue
risen
from
hence
,
should
bee
clearely
taken
away
.
After
hee
exhorted
his
Excellency
,
that
he
would
please
to
spare
neither
time
nor
paines
to
compose
these
differences
,
but
that
hee
would
bee
willing
to
stay
armes
,
that
the
matter
may
be
drawne
to
a
treaty
.
That
hee
also
hath
dealt
earnestly
with
Spinola
,
that
would
stay
here
,
but
that
he
would
not
hearken
to
the
motion
,
vnlesse
he
were
assured
that
the
Estates
,
and
the
Marquesse
of
Brandenburge
would
also
sit
still
,
and
attend
the
issue
of
a
treaty
.
Therefore
that
the
matter
might
with
more
conueniency
be
brought
to
a
treaty
,
that
hee
would
wish
his
Excellency
and
the
Estates
to
be
effectually
dealt
withall
.
We
spake
somewhat
before
of
the
preparations
of
the
Gouernour
of
Millaine
,
and
other
Princes
of
Italy
to
armes
.
Now
about
the
beginning
of
September
,
the
armies
of
the
Gouernour
of
Millain
,
and
of
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
which
are
reported
to
exceed
the
number
of
40000.
haue
met
in
the
field
,
and
fought
a
very
bloody
battell
.
Albeit
they
of
Berne
and
Geneua
,
and
others
,
suspecting
that
some
trechery
lyeth
hidden
vnder
this
pretence
of
quarrell
,
are
vpon
their
guard
,
and
prouide
circumspectly
against
the
worst
:
being
also
aduised
diligently
by
the
Protestant
Princes
and
Estates
,
that
they
suffer
not
themselues
to
be
abused
by
any
false
pretences
.
Therefore
certaine
Imperiall
Cities
,
as
Strawsburge
,
Norimberge
Collen
,
Wormes
▪
Ratisbone
,
Bibracke
,
Memming

,
Hailbrun
,
Essing
,
Reutling
,
Suinfurt
,
Colmar
,
Halle
in
Sueueland
,
and
others
,
haue
with
great
speed
sent
their
Embassadors
,
for
a
meeting
to
be
held
the
6.
of
Septemb.
in
this
cause
of
Vlme
,
by
reason
of
these
tumultuous
businesses
,
and
rumours
of
warres
,
the
illustrious
Princes
of
W●ttemberge
and
Anhalte
ioyning
