THE
DVTCH
SVRVAY
.
THat
Historicall
faith
which
proceedeth
from
the
irradiation
of
report
,
as
it
is
oftentimes
grounded
vpon
the
Marble
foundation
of
truth
:
so
is
it
many
times
built
vpon
the
sandy
base
of
misprision
,
errour
and
coniecture
:
and
this
doth
happen
either
through
the
malignity
of
our
owne
will
,
which
doth
facilitate
the
beliefe
of
those
things
,
which
we
with
willing
affectation
doe
desire
,
for
qua
volumus
facile
credimus
,
or
through
the
vanity
of
false
Intelligence
,
which
makes
vs
conceiue
Chimaraes
for
Idaeas
,
falshoods
for
truths
,
doubtfull
probabilities
for
manifest
and
assured
demonstrations
.
A
conclusion
not
onely
true
in
all
Histories
whatsoeuer
,
either
auncient
or
moderne
,
whereas
the
Eare
but
not
the
Eye
giues
information
,
but
most
especially
verifiable
in
the
present
subiect
of
this
relation
&
discourse
:
for
although
within
the
reuolution
of
these
last
sixe
yeares
,
the
sword
hath
beene
put
into
the
Papall
hand
,
and
by
their
powerfull
instruments
of
Spaine
&
Austria
,
Bohemia
hath
beene
repossest
,
and
contrary
to
the
cucustomes
and
priuiledges
of
the
same
,
of
an
electiue
Kingdome
,
hath
bin
mad
absolute
and
successiue
,
although
the
Paltz
by
the
politique
ayre
of
their
verball
treaties
and
illusions
,
hath
not
onely
beene
taken
,
but
most
iniuriously
kept
away
from
Frederick
,
the
most
worthy
and
vndoubted
Palatine
thereof
;
and
though
the
Valtoline
besides
,
hath
been
spoiled
,
and
despoiled
from
the
Grisons
,
a
people
free
,
and
so
acknowledged
from
the
prescription
of
antiquity
:
yet
let
the
Spaniolized
English
say
what
they
will
,
and
let
their
rumour
blaze
what
it
can
to
the
contrary
:
the
Spaniards
haue
not
onely
not
beene
victorious
,
but
haue
suffered
many
and
most
remarkable
losses
by
the
Dutch
,
in
these
latter
and
time-neerer
Warres
of
the
Netherlands
.
In
the
dilucidation
whereof
I
meane
not
to
instance
in
the
losse
of
men
,
money
,
munition
,
and
shipping
,
which
like
our
haire
growe
out
againe
vpon
euery
new
reinforcement
and
supply
,
but
in
those
dammages
,
which
are
most
solid
and
substantiall
,
as
the
losse
of
Townes
,
Cities
,
Lands
,
and
Territories
,
which
like
an
arme
or
legge
cut
off
,
sildome
or
neuer
growe
out
againe
,
to
the
vse
and
interest
of
their
first
possessors
,
especially
they
being
seized
by
the
Dutch
or
Spaniards
,
whose
talents
are
of
a
strong
retentiue
power
,
and
who
know
to
keepe
that
,
which
they
haue
once
gotten
and
acquired
,
as
well
as
any
Nations
in
Christendome
whatsoeuer
:
so
that
if
we
shall
comparatiuely
ballance
the
Spanish
Acquisitions
in
the
Dutchies
of
Iuliers
and
Cleaueland
,
with
their
bleeding
detriments
,
sustained
in
Brasilia
,
Lima
,
and
Ormus
:
wee
shall
see
the
former
to
bee
exceeded
by
the
latter
,
beyond
the
paralell
and
degrees
of
all
comparison
.
For
the
better
light
and
manifestation
whereof
,
we
must
vnderstand
thus
much
,
that
those
parcels
which
Philip
the
4.
now
holdes
in
Cleeue
and
Iuliers
,
were
not
plumes
aunciently
belonging
to
that
new
spread
Eagles
backe
of
Spaine
,
but
fastned
on
like
Icarus
wings
,
vpon
the
halfe-naked
skin
of
that
Austrian
Pullet
now
growne
bigger
,
then
the
Dam
it selfe
,
by
the
sticking
waxe
of
Philip
the
seconds
policies
and
pretences
.
By
these
meanes
following
your
Philippick
proiects
vpon
these
now
and
new
inthralled
Seigneuries
,
were
brought
and
wrought
almost
to
the
full
period
,
and
non
datur
vltra
of
his
desires
.
William
the
last
,
Duke
of
Cleaues
,
of
that
name
who
deceased
at
Duisseldorp
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
God
1592.
married
his
sonne
Iohn
William
vnto
Iaqueline
,
the
daughter
of
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
,
a
woman
infamously
famous
for
her
dissolute
and
licentious
life
;
and
the
censure
of
her
imprisonment
for
the
same
,
for
bringing
in
of
the
Spaniards
vnto
those
Countries
,
and
for
making
of
your
Cleuian
simplicity
,
first
acquainted
with
the
snaffle
of
the
Castilian
rule
and
gouernment
.
But
these
,
both
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
dying
without
heires
male
,
the
inheritance
descended
to
two
pretended
heires
female
.
The
one
married
vnto
the
Marquis
of
Brandenburge
,
a
reformed
Protestant
,
the
other
married
vnto
the
Prince
of
Newenburge
,
a
Romane
Catholique
.
Both
these
fight
for
the
bone
,
whilst
a
third
and
fourth
take
away
the
flesh
:
for
notwithstanding
diuers
admonitions
and
cautions
to
the
contrary
from
some
of
their
fastest
friends
,
who
were
iealous
of
their
good
,
and
studious
of
the
common
peace
and
tranquility
of
their
dominions
;
The
Newenburger
strengthens
himselfe
with
Partisans
of
the
same
faction
and
religion
,
and
drawes
vnto
his
succours
:
the
King
of
Spaine
,
the
Emperour
of
Germanie
,
with
other
Austrian
Princes
and
Potentates
.
The
Brandeburger
vseth
a
draught
of
the
same
policie
,
and
inuites
the
States
of
the
Lowe
Countries
,
the
Kings
of
England
and
France
vnto
his
succour
and
assistance
.
An
experience
which
shall
proue
hurtfull
both
to
the
one
and
to
the
other
,
as
the
sequell
shall
declare
:
for
the
Spaniards
hauing
seized
vpon
Weezell
,
Rhinebercke
,
Duisseldorpe
,
and
other
places
of
the
Dutchie
,
keepe
them
vpon
pretence
of
their
charges
,
and
assurance
of
their
Frontier
.
The
Dutch
hauing
surprised
Rees
,
Embricke
,
Cleeue
,
Goffe
,
and
Gulicke
,
man
these
Townes
with
their
owne
Garrisons
,
vpon
the
consideration
of
the
same
and
other
pretences
.
Gulicke
was
a
thorne
in
Albertus
foote
,
and
an
eye-sore
in
the
Castilians
light
.
Vanderbercke
must
plucke
this
out
,
being
Generall
of
the
Spanish
Forces
in
their
Cleuian
expedition
,
which
began
vnder
his
command
in
the
midst
of
August
1622.
That
yeare
being
the
next
after
the
expiration
of
the
truce
,
the
Enemies
were
very
strong
,
as
hauing
three
Armies
in
the
field
,
one
in
Flaunders
besieging
Sluce
,
vnder
the
commaund
of
Inigo
de
Borges
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Gaunt
,
another
houering
about
Goffe
and
Zantom
,
commaunded
by
the
Marquis
Spinola
,
which
attended
the
motions
of
our
Nassauian
Armie
,
lying
then
as
in
our
durtie
Quarters
of
Dornicke
,
and
this
third
which
beleguerd
Gulicke
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Earle
of
Monts
,
commonly
called
Henry
Vanderberke
.
This
Citie
is
the
Metropolis
of
the
Dutchy
of
Iuliers
,
vnto
which
it
giues
his
name
seated
vpon
the
Riuer
of
Roer
,
in
a
fruitful
Cuntry
,
which
stretcheth
from
thence
vnto
the
bankes
of
the
Dent.
It
was
well
fortified
and
defended
,
for
besides
the
olde
fortifications
which
were
found
at
the
first
reducement
of
this
place
,
there
were
new
Rauelins
and
halfe
Moones
made
by
the
directions
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
for
their
defence
there
lay
fourteene
Companies
of
foote
,
English
,
Dutch
and
French
within
the
walls
,
vnder
their
Gouernour
Signieur
Pethan
,
besides
Thomas
Villers
troupe
of
Horse
,
which
was
reputed
to
be
one
of
the
brauest
in
all
the
Netherlands
.
But
although
it
were
well
manned
,
and
strongly
fortified
,
yet
for
want
of
victuals
it
must
yeeld
to
the
power
of
the
Conquerour
:
for
the
prouision
and
store
of
the
Magazine
growing
tainted
,
by
Commission
from
the
States
Pithan
,
makes
sale
of
it
,
vnto
those
Merchants
that
would
giue
most
for
it
.
Spinola
vnderstanding
of
this
by
the
Nuntioes
of
his
intelligence
,
before
it
could
be
re-victualed
by
the
States
,
sends
Henry
Vander
Barke
to
besiege
it
with
an
Armie
of
sixteene
thousand
men
,
both
Horse
and
Foote
,
consisting
of
diuers
Nations
,
as
Italians
,
Spaniards
,
French
,
and
Almaines
.
Vpon
their
first
approches
,
and
before
all
the
aduenues
and
passages
were
blockt
vp
,
some
of
the
Captaines
,
amongst
whom
Captaine
Haydon
,
and
Captaine
Aishley
,
were
most
forward
,
presented
their
seruice
vnto
the
Gouernour
,
and
offered
him
vpon
his
leaue
to
victuall
the
Towne
aboundantly
from
the
prouisions
of
the
Country
:
the
season
of
the
yeare
seruing
fitly
for
it
,
it
being
as
then
about
the
beginning
of
Haruest
,
The
counsell
was
good
and
wholsome
,
and
might
haue
wrought
the
preseruation
of
Gulick
,
if
it
had
beene
apprehended
and
executed
in
time
.
But
Pethan
obliging
himselfe
too
strictly
to
his
Commission
,
reiecteth
the
proffer
,
pretending
that
hee
durst
not
doe
it
as
hauing
no
Warrant
for
this
Designe
.
In
the
meane
time
Count
Henricke
well
husbanding
this
occasion
,
sits
downe
before
the
Towne
,
Intrencheth
himselfe
strongly
,
and
drawes
his
approches
close
to
our
vtter
Works
,
for
the
better
planting
of
his
Cannon
.
Thus
Pethan
sees
his
errour
,
and
too
late
seekes
to
redresse
the
same
.
Then
hee
resolues
vppon
a
sally
which
might
haue
wrought
some
good
effect
,
if
it
had
beene
sooner
enterprized
.
In
this
conflict
our
men
surpriz'd
and
sleighted
one
of
the
Enemies
Fortifications
,
charged
them
home
to
their
teeth
,
and
hauing
got
some
proportion
of
spoiles
and
victuals
,
made
their
retreat
good
vnto
the
Ports
,
with
the
losse
only
of
Captaine
Bassenheime
,
and
sixe
and
thirty
of
their
Horsemen
:
amongst
the
rest
young
Captaine
Haydons
valour
was
most
remarkable
;
he
was
Captaine
of
a
Foote
Company
,
yet
vpon
that
day
he
seru'd
on
Horse-backe
.
One
of
the
Enemies
aduauncing
himselfe
before
the
grosse
of
their
troupes
,
dares
any
of
our
side
proudly
to
the
Combat
.
Haydon
accepts
it
,
and
charging
him
with
his
Pistoll
,
kill'd
the
Challenger
vpon
the
place
,
and
after
that
being
recharg'd
by
a
second
,
he
falls
backe
to
the
body
of
our
Troupes
in
safety
.
The
fortune
of
this
skirmish
did
but
tye
the
squib
to
the
Bulls
tayle
,
encreasing
our
appetite
and
their
anger
.
Vpon
this
they
batter
our
Rampiers
furiously
with
the
Cannon
,
and
salute
the
defendants
with
often
vollies
of
their
Musket
shot
.
Our
men
answere
them
with
Balls
of
the
same
mettall
.
Amongst
the
midst
of
these
Reuolets
,
passing
with
a
doubtfull
successe
of
fortune
betweene
the
besiegers
and
the
besieged
,
there
chanced
a
casuall
fire
to
be
kindled
in
the
Spanish
Quarters
.
Our
Fire-men
plye
this
place
with
their
Shotte
both
great
and
small
,
and
worke
some
remarkable
dammage
vpon
the
Enemies
.
But
these
exploites
could
not
alay
the
biting
smart
of
our
hunger
,
which
now
began
to
rage
and
raigne
in
euery
Quarter
:
For
the
Towne
Prouisions
being
spent
,
and
the
Magazins
wasted
,
things
vnusuall
,
and
vnaccustomed
to
the
palate
,
were
deuoured
;
as
Dogs
,
Cats
and
the
like
.
This
inforcement
caused
Pethan
to
demaund
a
Parlee
about
the
midst
of
Ianuarie
:
notwithstanding
his
first
promise
to
Vander
Berke
,
that
he
would
not
hearken
to
the
motion
of
that
accord
till
Easter
.
For
this
purpose
three
Captaines
were
sent
out
of
the
Ports
vnto
their
Campe
,
the
one
an
English
man
,
the
other
two
French
&
Dutch.
After
some
difficulties
,
the
agreement
was
consummated
vpon
these

following
.
First

the
Spaniards
should
not
bring

Religion
.

,
and
that
their

wounded

and
then

the
same
place
.
6.

7.
That
the
Captaines
and
Souldiers
which
were
in
any

,
and
bring

,
and
be

,
if

12.
dayes
,
with
300.
Waggons
at
the
least
:
which
time
being
expired
,
and

baggage
,
wishing
the
Gouernour
to
hasten
his
departure
:
who
sending
the

,
departed
with
all
his
Goods
and
Souldiers
,
leauing
two
Hostages
behinde
,
vntill
the
Waggons
were
returned
.
Pethan
vpon
his

to
the

,
was
arrested
by
order
from
the
States
,
and
the

,
were
suspended
for
a
time
,
vntill
he
should
cleare
himselfe
,
and
giue
a
iust
account
of
his
actions
.
Thus
you
see
the
losse
of
Gulicke
conquered
some
fifteene
yeares
before
,
by
the
valour
of
the
States
forces
,
ioyntly
with
the
succours
of
foure
thousand
English
,
vnder
the
commaund
of
that
noble
and
well
experienced
commander
Generall
Cecill
;
and
now
re-conquered
by
the
Spaniards
,
more
by
the
power
of
hunger
,
then
the
powerfulnes
of
their
Armes
:
which
losse
came
not
solitarie
and
alone
,
but
was
aggrauated
with
the
society
of
another
,
though
of
lesse
consequence
and
importance
:
and
this
was
the
surprise
of
Lulstorff
,
Blankenburge
,
and
Monawe
,
small
Garrisons
held
by
Brandenburge
,
in
the
Dutchie
of
Iuliers
,
and
the
taking
of
Goffe
,
a
little
Towne
in
Cleaueland
,
seated
vpon
the
South
side
of
the
Rhine
,
almost
opposite
vnto
Rees
,
which
makes
the
second
losse
of
Townes
or
Territories
,
sustained
by
the
States
,
in
these
last
Warres
of
the
Netherlands
.
This
place
was
of
no
great
importance
,
onely
it
made
the
Westerne
parts
of
Cleeue
,
pay
some
small
Contribution
to
the
Electour
of
Brandenburge
.
It
was
meanely
fortified
,
and
but
weakely
manned
;
and
therefore
vpon
the
Spinolians
first
approches
&
summons
,
it
yeelded
to
the
stronger
,
the
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
departing
vpon
conditions
of
honor
.
Afterwards
by
directions
from
their
Counsell
of
Warre
,
they
fortified
it
with
a
Rampier
,
Counterscarfe
,
and
some
other
outer
Works
,
so
that
it
is
now
become
a
peece
of
some
reasonable
defence
.
His
Excellencie
the
Prince
of
Orange
carying
Argus
eyes
vppon
all
your
Spanish
proiects
;
before
their
Workes
were
well
setled
,
marcht
thither
in
the
latter
end
of
Summer
1623.
intending
to
take
the
Towne
by
an
Onslate
.
In
his
Armie
there
were
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
my
Lord
Wriotheslie
,
sonne
to
the
Earle
of
Southampton
,
with
diuers
other
noble
Voluntiers
from
England
,
Fraunce
,
and
else-where
.
But
he
dealt
with
an
Enemie
,
whose
eyes
were
as
good
as
his
hands
:
for
they
hauing
notice
of
his
comming
,
fore-layd
the
passage
,
and
resolued
preuention
to
the
vtmost
.
The
Prince
viewing
their
Forces
thus
facing
of
our
Armie
,
and
lodged
besides
in
a
place
of
aduantage
:
after
a
long
Alto
,
wherein
he
braued
the
foes
,
retired
his
Troupes
from
the
enterprise
of
Goffe
,
which
still
groanes
vnder
the
yoake
of
the
Castilian
gouernement
and
oppression
.
The
third
losse
which
the
States
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
haue
receiued
,
and
that
since
the
taking
of
Gulick
and
Goffe
,
hath
beene
the
surprisall
of
Papenmuch
,
a
strong
Sconce
,
built
by
the
Confederates
in
a
certaine
Iland
of
the
Rhine
,
betweene
Coleine
and
Bonne
,
an
Imperiall
Towne
,
heretofore
surprized
by
Sir
Martin
Skencke
,
in
the
yeare
1587.
The
Spaniards
knew
what
a
bridle
Skenks
Sconce
(
a
Fort
built
vpon
that
nooke
of
Land
)
where
the
Rhine
deuideth
it selfe
into
two
branches
,
making
the
Peniusula
of
Grauen
worke
,
had
been
to
their
projected
designes
vpon
Cleeue
,
Geldres
,
and
Friseland
,
they
could
not
suffer
a
snaffle
of
the
same
mettall
,
and
making
,
in
the
mouth
of
the
Bishop
of
Colein
,
a
creature
of
Spaine
,
and
wholly
deuoted
to
the
house
of
Austria
.
Besides
,
the
possessing
of
it
did
concerne
them
much
,
for
the
transportation
of
their
Forces
from
or
into
the
lower
circles
of
the
Empire
,
and
for
victualing
of
Rhineberke
,
Weezell
,
and
other
places
,
by
the
commodity
of
the
Riuer
.
These
motiues
incited
Spinola
to
send
thither
an
Armie
of
sufficient
strength
and
number
,
for
the
conquest
of
this
important
Citadell
.
These
troupes
were
commaunded
by
the
Prince
of
Chimay
,
and
one
Bree
,
Lieutenant
Generall
vnto
the
Prince
of
Newenburge
.
They
raised
small
Forts
,
commonly
called
Redouts
vpon
euery
passage
,
drew
their
approches
within
a
conuenient
distance
,
and
brought
some
Peeces
of
the
greater
size
from
Iuliers
for
the
battery
:
and
besides
,
they
built
two
small
Ships
of
Warre
,
not
drawing
much
water
vpon
the
Rhine
,
to
this
intent
that
all
the
land
passages
being
stopt
,
&
the
aduenues
by
water
being
also
shut
vp
,
time
and
hunger
(
two
powerfull
instruments
,
much
made
vse
of
by
the
Fabian
Generals
of
Spaine
)
might
worke
the
conquest
and
deliuerance
of
this
place
.
The
euent
answered
their
expectation
:
for
the
Defendants
being
prest
with
this
vnresistable
difficulty
,
surrendred
vp
the
Sconce
about
the
latter
end
of
the
yeare
1622.
vpon
condition
to
depart
with
bagge
and
baggage
.
And
thus
you
see
a
full
suruay
of
those
greater
and
more
substantiall
losses
,
which
the
States
haue
suffered
,
since
the
expiration
of
the
last
twelue
yeares
truce
,
from
their
ancient
and
sworne
Enemies
of
Spaine
.
The
relation
of
their
victories
followes
,
suparlatiue
to
their
dammages
,
both
for
the
respect
of
honour
,
and
the
waight
of
their
importance
:
and
these
may
be
reduc'd
vnto
two
heads
,
vnto
their
victories
acquired
at
Rishame
and
Ormus
,
Ilands
seated
vpon
the
coast
of
Persia
,
and
aunciently
belonging
to
that
Kingdome
,
or
to
their
Conquests
in
Brasilia
and
Peru
,
Prouinces
of
the
new
world
,
discouered
by
Americus
,
from
whence
it
tooke
his
name
,
for
the
vse
of
Ferdinand
and
Isabella
,
their
children
,
heires
,
and
successours
.
For
although
in
the
Conquest
of
the
fore-said
Ilands
,
the
Dutch
as
well
as
our
English
,
were
but
auxiliaries
vnto
the
Persians
,
yet
because
they
were
pars
magna
laboris
,
they
had
I
say
a
great
share
in
the
labour
and
danger
of
this
exploit
,
by
way
of
reducement
,
and
not
improperly
,
it
may
bee
fylde
amongst
the
number
of
their
atchiuements
.
This
Rishame
or
Rhisme
is
a
small
Iland
,
distant
from
Ormus
some
foure
leagues
,
and
separated
from
thence
by
a
small
fret
of
the
Sea
,
commonly
called
the
sound
of
Balsora
.
The
Portingals
had
built
a
strong
Castle
in
it
,
manned
with
three
hundred
Christians
,
and
fiue
hundred
Negroes
,
commanded
by
Rufero
their
Gouernour
.
Our
Fleete
vpon
the
24.
of
Ianuarie
162●
,
came
within
shot
of
the
Castle
,
and
plied
the
Defendants
with
diuers
peales
of
Ordinance
,
and
by
the
fauour
of
our
shipping
and
Cannon
,
gaue
meanes
to
the
Persian
,
to
land
ten
thousand
of
his
Souldiers
.
These
Mahometan
Troupes
were
commaunded
by
one
of
their
Sultans
,
for
so
they
call
their
Lords
,
a
man
of
great
valour
and
conduct
,
as
the
sequele
shall
make
good
.
Vpon
their
first
landing
they
play
the
Terriers
,
put
themselues
into
the
earth
,
&
bring
their
approches
within
a
neere
distance
.
Rufero
terrified
with
this
strait
assignement
,
as
being
inuironed
both
by
land
and
water
,
and
hauing
no
Element
to
helpe
him
,
but
the
all-common
Ayre
,
and
the
fire
of
his
Cannon
,
demaunds
a
parlee
:
to
hinder
farther
effusion
of
blood
it
was
graunted
.
But
the
conditions
proposed
were
dislikt
by
the
Assailants
:
for
the
Portugall
wholy
ayming
at
the
preseruation
of
Ormus
,
and
sleighting
that
of
Rhisme
,
because
he
saw
no
possibility
to
keepe
it
,
offers
presently
to
surrender
the
Castle
,
vpon
condition
that
his
men
,
both
Spaniards
and
Blacks
,
might
haue
free
liberty
to
passe
ouer
vnto
Ormus
.
Any
man
that
had
but
Poliphemus
eye
,
might
see
through
the
mist
of
this
pretence
.
Our
Captaines
,
Blight
,
Weddall
,
and
Mr.
Monnox
,
men
much
honoured
for
this
seruice
,
were
apprehensiue
enough
to
conceiue
the
aduantage
of
this
proposition
.
Therefore
they
reiect
it
,
and
fall
to
their
battery
againe
,
so
that
waighing
neerer
to
the
Castle
,
they
bestowe
seauen
or
eight
hundred
great
Shot
vpon
the
Curtin
and
Bulwarkes
.
The
Persians
likewise
from
the
land
side
,
draw
their
rowling
trenches
within
a
stones
cast
,
and
ply
the
Castellans
with
vncessant
vollies
of
their
small
Shot
,
who
answered
them
with
the
like
,
and
flung
diuers
Pots
of
Wilde-fire
and
Granadoes
into
their
Workes
,
which
did
them
much
hurt
.
The
terrour
of
this
caused
a
second
parlee
;
wherein
Rufero
offers
to
surrender
the
place
vpon
these
cautions
following
,
that
he
might
depart
to
Ormus
with
his
Armes
and
Munition
,
and
race
the
walls
of
the
Castle
downe
to
the
ground
.
This
second
motion
being
reiected
like
as
the
former
,
we
saluted
them
afresh
with
the
thunder
of
the
same
curtesie
.
But
the
Defendants
seeing
themselues
thus
distressed
on
all
sides
,
yeeld
at
the
last
vppon
these
conditions
.
That
they
should
depart
with
bagge
and
baggage
,
and
all
other
things
that
they
had
,
their
Armes
,
Munition
,
and
Ordnance
expected
,
and
that
the
Souldiers
,
as
well
Blackes
as
others
,
should
be
transported
vnto
Muskat
,
a
Towne
which
the
Portingals
hold
vpon
the
Arabian
shore
,
onely
some
of
the
Principals
were
to
be
detayned
aboord
our
Shippes
,
and
to
be
disposed
of
as
occasion
should
require
;
so
the
Castle
of
Rhisme
was
surrendred
vnto
the
Persians
the
30.
of
Ianuarie
1621.
and
all
the
Articles
were
performed
on
both
sides
,
sauing
that
the
Sultan
caused
some
fourescore
of
the
captiue
Negroes
to
be
murdered
,
contrary
to
the
dignity
and
faith
of
his
promise
.
After
the
Conquest
of

This

who
taking
aduantage
of
the
Persian
troubles
,
and
their
neglect
of
maritine
affaires
,
fortified
themselues
strongly
in
this
place
,
which
they
kept
to
their
great
profit
and
honour
aboue
fourescore
yeares
,
vntill
after

the

their

,
who
marched
straight
vnto
the

which
being
a

they

,
without

at

;
The

themselues
into

And
that

they
vndervndermined
the

,
the
17.
of

moneth
,
made

Presently

notwithstanding
the
furie
of

Artillery
,
and
the
continuall
vollies
of
Musket
bullets
,
which
fell
in
as
thicke
as
haile
amongst
them
.
The
Portugals
lost
two
Cullers
displaid
one
after
another
,
with
some
of
their
forwardest
men
,
&
their
Battlements
and
Barricadoes
made
of
Cotton
sackes
,
were
much
torne
and
defaced
with
the
furie
of
our
Ordinance
.
The
Persians
lost
not
fortie
men
out-right
,
but
some
three
hundred
or
more
were
wounded
and
burnt
,
part
of
whom
afterwards
perished
.
The
20.
day
in
the
morning
,
there
came
out
of
the
Castle
two
aged
men
with
a
youth
,
and
three
or
foure
Negroes
attending
them
,
who
were
presently
conueyed
by
Sea
(
to
the
intent
that
they
might
not
view
our
workes
)
to
the
house
of
Dabul
,
whereas
the
Sultan
attended
by
diuers
Cushel
Bassaes
,
and
his
Guard
of
Arabians
,
went
to
meete
,
and
treat
with
these
Portugals
.
But
this
taking
no
effect
,
they
desired
leaue
of
him
to
goe
ouer
to
Combreane
to
the
Sophie
,
which
was
granted
them
.
But
when
they
came
ouer
,
he
would
condiscend
to
nothing
without
the
consent
of
the
Christians
.
The
Spanish
Delegates
being
thus
dismist
,
the
Persians
sinke
themselues
in
their
Mines
againe
,
and
after
they
had
made
the
vault
capacious
enough
,
they
lodged
55.
Barrels
of
powder
in
it
,
and
ram'd
vp
the
hole
which
gaue
entrance
to
this
Mine
,
with
Timber
,
Stones
,
and
Morter
.
It
tooke
fire
about
sixe
of
the
clocke
earely
in
the
morning
,
being
the
2.
of
Aprill
,
and
blew
vp
most
of
the
Westerne
Bulworke
,
with
such
violence
and
impetuositie
,
that
the
stones
of
this
worke
were
blowne
at
least
sixe
hundred
paces
from
the
place
.
This
mine
was
sprung
contrary
to
the
intentions
of
the
Dutch
and
English
in
the
time
of
the
parlee
,
and
that
by
the
directions
of
the
Persian
Generall
,
who
was
blemisht
with
treacherie
for
doing
of
this
acte
.
For
at
that
time
there
were
many
Portugals
walking
vpon
the
wall
where
the
blow
was
giuen
;
foure
or
fiue
of
whom
were
blown
vp
and
slaine
.
The
14.
of
Aprill
the
Persians
blew
vp
the
3.
Mine
,
vpon
the
east
side
of
the
Castle
,
yet
would
they
not
as
yet
enter
,
because
they
were
working
of
another
on
the
west
side
,
which
they
sprung
the
17.
of
the
same
month
.
The
Mahometan
souldiers
vpon
this
entered
,
and
possest
themselues
of
the
westerne
Bulworke
,
and
seeking
to
force
the
Portugals
Barricadoes
,
were
by
them
repulst
with
great
slaughter
.
The
Persian
Sultan
seing
his
men
retire
,
comes
to
the
foote
of
the
breach
,
and
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
ready
drawne
,
makes
them
renue
the
assault
againe
:
In
which
conflict
,
the
valour
of
one
Portugall
was
most
remarkable
,
who
with
his
Sword
and
Buckler
,
fought
vpon
the
point
of
the
breach
,
and
forceably
repulst
the
assailants
.
But
marke
how
Fortune
proues
a
Step-dame
to
his
valour
:
He
charging
freely
vpon
one
of
them
with
his
Rapier
,
thrust
it
into
one
of
their
wooden
Bucklers
and
before
he
could
free
the
point
,
hee
was
charged
by
three
or
foure
of
the
Persians
,
and
cut
in
pieces
by
them
.
Within
two
or
three
dayes
after
this
assault
,
the
Sophie
passed
ouet
from
Combreane
vnto
the
Iland
of
Ormus
,
where
he
shewed
that
magnificence
&
munificence
(
befitting
one
of
Ismaels
successors
)
vnto
the
souldiers
and
Officers
of
the
Army
.
The
besiegded
seeing
no
hope
of
succours
,
and
that
themselues
were
disabled
in
their
defences
,
by
Mines
,
Batteries
,
and
Assaults
,
yeelded
the
Castle
vpon
these
conditions
.
1
That
they
might
depart
with
bagge
and
baggage
,
without
any
armes
,
sauing
their
Swords
and
Rapiers
.
2
That
the
sicke
and
wounded
should
be
left
in
the
Towne
,
and
lookt
vnto
by
Chirurgions
.
3
That
aswell
these
as
those
that
were
sound
,
should
be
conueyed
vnto
Muskat
,
a
Mountain
town
of
Arabia
,
by
the
Robert
and
Sherling
,
two
English
ships
.
Thus
this
Castle
and
Iland
the
24.
of
Aprill
were
yeelded
to
the
Sophie
by
the
auxiliary
meanes
of
the
Dutch
and
English
,
after
it
had
bene
possest
by
the
Portugals
and
Spaniards
an
hundred
and
eighty
yeares
.
The
second
losse
which
the
Spaniards
haue
suffered
since
these
last
warres
of
the
Netherlands
,
hath
beene
the
taking
of
the
towne
and
part
of
Todos
los
Sanctos
,
in
Brasilia
.
This
Countrey
is
limited
on
the
South
with
Riedo
la
Plate
and
Chile
,
on
the
North
with
Guiana
,
on
the
East
with
the
Ocean
,
and
on
the
West
with
the
Mountaines
of
Peru
,
called
the
Audes
,
which
deuideth
the
Countrey
of
Ieru●aua
,
as
the
Apemine
doth
Italy
,
and
as
Taurus
and
Caucasus
doe
Asia
.
The
people
which
inhabit
these
steepe
and
craggie
Mountaines
,
are
more
barbarous
then
other
Americans
,
as
being
taunie
all
ouer
their
bodies
,
going
altogether
naked
,
and
liuing
without
houses
or
bedding
:
Those
of
the
vally
are
more
temperate
and
ciuill
,
as
partaking
the
qualities
and
temperature
of
the
Climate
:
The
Earth
of
the
vallies
,
is
fatte
,
greene
,
and
alwayes
flourishing
;
abounding
with
Sugar
,
Mace
,
and
your
Brasilian
Wood
,
vsed
in
Europe
for
your
dying
of
reddes
;
the
Trees
wherof
are
of
exceeding
bignesse
,
wherein
Nature
proues
the
Architect
,
for
diuerse
large
families
which
dwell
in
the
bodies
and
branches
of
them
.
This
land
was
first
discoueted
by
Pedro
Aluari
Caprioli
,
at
the
expences
of
Emanuel
King
of
Portugal
,
Anno
1500.
afterwards
it
was
more
exactly
suruayed
by
Americus
Vespucius
,
next
by
Giouanni
de
Empoli
a
Florentine
,
Anno
1503.
Afterwards
by
Iohn
Stadius
a
Dutch-man
,
Anno.
1554.
And
by
the
Edict
of
that
Monster
of
Man-kinde
(
Pope
Alexander
the
sixt
)
it
was
appropriated
to
the
Portugals
;
the
rest
of
America
being
allotted
to
the
Castilians
.
The
chiefest
Citties
of
this
Prouince
are
,
1
Fernambuco
.
2
Ascensio
.
3
Todos
los
Sanstos
,
otherwise
called
St.
Saluador
.
This
towne
stands
vpon
a
Bay
of
the
same
name
,
vnto
which
the
Riuer
of
Reall
dischargeth
it selfe
,
and
hath
Fernambuco
an
hundred
miles
to
the
northward
,
and
it
lyes
from
the
Equinoctiall
fifteen
degrees
to
the
southward
.
It
was
reasonable
strong
,
and
thought
by
the
Portugals
(
who
are
generally
ouer-weening
in
their
owne
conceits
,
both
of
themselues
and
their
owne
strength
)
to
be
tenable
against
any
forces
whatsoeuer
.
The
journey
being
resolued
on
by
the
West
Indian
Company
of
the
Netherlands
,
they
put
to
Sea
the
22.
of
December
1623.
from
Texell
a
Port
of
Holland
,
with
a
Fleete
of
thirtie
ships
,
well
furnished
with
Armes
,
Lead
,
Powder
,
Ordinance
,
and
other
warlike
munition
.
Iacob
Willeks
,
a
man
of
good
experience
in
Maritine
matters
,
commanded
for
the
sea
,
and
the
Lord
of
Dorte
commanded
all
the
Land-forces
.
The
Lord
Generall
hauing
ouer-sayled
the
Admirall
,
had
beene
before
the
towne
three
dayes
before
,
being
the
6.
of
May
1624.
and
hauing
exchanged
some
shot
with
the
Castle
,
went
to
sea
againe
,
as
resolued
to
seeke
out
their
Admirall
Willekes
,
and
the
rest
of
the
company
.
This
attempt
gaue
an
alarum
to
the
Spaniards
,
who
coniecturing
as
the
truth
was
,
that
more
numbers
followed
these
,
&
that
for
some
designe
vpon
this
p●●ce
,
prepared
themselues
for
their
defence
,
with
all
preuention
and
prouision
possible
.
They
mounted
eight
pieces
of
Ordinance
vpon
a
Battery
of
Free-stone
,
the
Slaues
of
the
towne
(
aswell
Christians
as
others
)
were
commaunded
to
the
Rampier
,
and
raised
two
new
batteries
by
the
direction
of
the
Vize-roy
,
who
was
also
very
carefull
to
see
the
men
mustered
and
ezercised
in
their
armes
according
to
the
manner
of
the
Castilian
Discipline
,
the
number
of
whom
amounted
to
some
5500.
men
,
whereof
the
Intants
made
4000.
and
the
souldiers
1500.
They
of
the
Land
battered
our
shippes
furiously
from
the
Castles
,
and
vpon
one
of
the
three
was
the
Vize-roy
himselfe
,
with
his
sonne
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
Gentry
.
Our
Admirall
in
the
meane
time
sayled
vp
&
downe
in
the
Bay
,
resoluing
how
hee
might
land
his
Troups
with
best
aduantage
;
for
this
respect
,
he
imbarks
1600.
of
his
best
and
choicest
men
in
foure
of
the
tallest
shippes
,
and
commanding
the
rest
to
follow
slowely
,
he
enters
the
Bay
the
9.
of
May
1624.
Comming
neare
the
Enemies
Batteries
,
he
caused
all
their
Ordinance
to
be
discharged
on
their
Castles
and
Platformes
,
and
landing
some
hundred
men
with
their
loug-boats
,
they
took
the
Batteries
presently
:
the
Marriners
doing
very
good
seruice
in
this
assault
with
their
Boate-hookes
.
Vpon
this
the
Defendants
hang
out
a
flagge
of
truce
,
and
most
of
them
quit
the
foresaid
places
.
But
the
Vize-roy
,
persists
resolute
in
defence
of
that
Breach
,
whereupon
himselfe
was
ingag'd
,
and
though
hardly
prest
by
the
Dutch
,
he
fights
it
out
to
the
vtmost
with
some
of
the
brauest
Caualeroes
of
the
town
.
But
when
he
saw
at
the
last
,
himselfe
forsaken
of
all
sides
,
he
fled
towards
his
own
Pallace
:
but
in
the
way
our
Marriners
&
soldiers
ceazed
vpon
his
person
;
who
putting
his
sword
into
his
sheath
,
deliuered
these
words
vnto
them
:
I
haue
beene
faitbfull
vnto
my
King
,
and
if
my
men
had
not
so
basely
forsaken
me
,
your
forces
should
not
haue
taken
the
Castle
so
soone
.
Vpon
the
surrender
of
the
Castle
,
all
the
lesser
Forts
yeelded
themselues
,
and
acknowledged
the
fortune
of
the
Canqueror
;
the
which
was
the
more
happy
in
this
respect
,
because
it
was
accomplished
with
little
effusion
of
Christian
blood
,
there
being
not
slaine
aboue
forty
common
Souldiers
,
and
one
Captaine
.
The
tenth
day
of
May
,
the
Netherlanders
went
to
surprise
the
Towne
,
but
when
they
approached
neere
the
Ports
,
they
perceiued
that
it
was
abandoned
by
the
Inhabitants
,
so
that
our
Souldiers
entred
without
any
resistance
.
The
pillage
was
great
in
Coyne
,
Plate
,
Iewels
,
and
other
rich
moueables
,
which
the
Souldiers
tooke
out
of
the
Houses
,
Store-houses
,
and
Cellars
.
Moreouer
,
there
were
taken
12000.
Chests
of
Sugar
,
thirty
Ships
laden
with
rich
Marchandize
,
which
lay
in
the
harbour
,
and
eight
shippes
more
of
the
Spaniards
,
which
arriued
there
since
,
not
hauing
notice
of
the
Dutchmens
fortunes
and
proceedings
.
The
third
maine
losse
which
the
Spaniards
haue
sustained
since
the
expiration
of
the
last
truce
,
hath
beene
at
Lima
,
a
famous
Emporian
and
hauen
Towne
in
Peru.
This
Prouince
was
first
discouered
by
Francisco
Pisarro
,
afterwards
Marquis
of
Antillo
,
and
Diego
de
Almagro
,
afterwards
honoured
with
the
title
of
chiefe
discouerer
by
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
;
to
whose
vse
it
was
first
conquered
by
these
aduentrous
Spaniards
from
Atapalipa
and
his
brethren
,
right
pretenders
and
inheritours
of
the
same
.
It
hath
on
the
East
the
Perunian
mountaines
,
on
the
West
Mare
Pacificum
,
or
del
Sur
,
on
the
North
Castilia
Aurea
,
and
the
Riuer
of
Peru
,
from
whence
the
Country
taketh
his
name
,
and
on
the
South
it
hath
Chila
for
his
borders
.
The
length
of
it
is
from
the
Citie
of
Pasto
,
vnto
the
Prouince
of
Chili
,
one
thousand
eight
hundred
leagues
,
as
large
as
the
leagues
of
Castilia
.
This
Land
is
the
seate
of
many
wonders
:
thence
groweth
that
odoriferous
wood
,
whose
barke
being
incided
,
distils
a
meruailous
sweet
liquor
,
wherewith
if
any
annoint
a
dead
body
,
the
carkasse
corrupteth
not
.
Neere
to
a
cape
or
point
of
land
,
commonly
called
Destahelena
,
there
are
found
certaine
Springs
of
Pitch
or
Tarre
,
seruiceable
for
the
calking
&
trimming
of
Ships
.
Here
are
Riuers
which
runne
all
day
,
but
stand
still
at
night
,
the
reason
whereof
is
,
because
their
current
is
maintained
by
the
snowe
,
which
melts
a
day
time
,
but
freezeth
againe
at
night
.
It
rayneth
in
the
mountaines
,
but
neuer
in
the
Plaines
of
Peru
,
the
assigned
reason
whereof
is
,
that
in
the
Plaines
,
and
neere
the
Sea
coast
,
there
bloweth
all
the
yeare
long
one
only
winde
which
the
Mariners
call
Siluester
,
which
runneth
along
with
such
forcible
violence
,
that
the
cloudes
and
vapours
can
haue
no
rest
in
the
middle
Region
ouer
the
plaine
Country
.
Besides
other
small
townes
which
the
Christians
haue
in
the
Plaines
,
they
haue
fiue
principle
Cities
.
The
first
is
called
Pi●to
Veio
,
which
standeth
very
neere
the
equinoctiall
:
this
Citie
is
poore
,
and
apt
for
diseases
,
yet
hath
it
some
Mines
of
Gold
&
Emeraulds
.
Fifteene
leagues
within
the
Maine
is
another
Citie
called
St.
Michael
,
which
in
the
Indian
speech
they
call
Pura
.
This
is
a
pleasant
soile
and
fruitfull
,
but
there
are
no
Mines
of
Golde
nor
Plate
.
Threescore
leagues
forward
alongst
the
coast
standeth
another
Citie
in
a
valley
called
Trugillio
,
being
distant
from
the
Sea
two
leagues
.
This
Citie
is
placed
in
a
plaine
plot
neere
to
the
Reuers
side
,
and
is
abundantly
prouided
of
Wheat
,
Maiz
,
and
Cattell
.
It
is
also
exceeding
well
built
,
and
in
it
there
are
three
hundred
housholds
of
Spaniards
.
The
fourth
chiefe
Citie
is
,
that
of
Aroquipa
,
commonly
called
the
faire
.
The
soile
neere
vnto
it
is
healthfull
,
and
aboundant
of
all
kinde
of
victuals
,
standing
some
12.
leagues
from
the
Sea
coast
,
vpon
a
Riuer
that
is
faire
and
Nauigable
,
so
that
Ships
of
good
burthen
may
come
vp
to
the
walls
of
the
Citie
,
by
which
means
it
is
thought
the
habitation
of
this
towne
will
encrease
.
It
doth
not
onely
supply
her
owne
necessities
,
but
serues
the
Citie
of
Cusco
,
and
the
Prouince
of
Carchas
,
with
all
things
needfull
;
from
which
places
there
is
great
resort
vnto
Aroquipa
,
by
reason
of
the
frequent
contractation
here
,
t
for
the
golden
mettall
of
Potosi
.
The
fifth
principall
Citie
exceeding
all
the
rest
in
beauty
,
strength
,
and
riches
,
is
that
of
Luma
scituated
in
a
valley
of
the
same
name
,
some
fourescore
leagues
from
Trugillio
.
The
Country
there-about
is
plentifull
of
Corne
,
and
many
sorts
of
fruits
and
cattell
:
the
building
of
this
place
is
such
,
that
all
the
streetes
doe
meete
in
a
faire
large
place
,
from
the
which
a
man
may
see
through
euery
streete
into
the
fields
.
The
dwelling
is
meruailous
healthfull
,
because
it
standeth
in
a
temperate
climate
,
not
afflicted
too
much
with
extremities
of
heate
and
colde
:
the
hottest
season
of
the
yeare
being
more
temperate
then
that
of
Spaine
.
For
in
the
time
of
their
Summer
heate
,
there
falleth
euery
day
in
the
morning
a
sweete
and
cooling
dewe
,
which
is
not
hurtfull
,
but
rather
profitable
for
the
health
of
man
.
For
it
being
vsed
by
way
of
Lotion
,
it
is
good
for
the
head
aches
and
other
diseases
.
All
Spanish
fruit
groweth
and
prospereth
well
in
this
soile
,
especially
Orenges
,
Lemonds
,
Figges
,
Pomgranates
,
and
Vines
,
wherof
there
had
beene
great
abundance
,
if
the
frequent
broyles
and
tumults
betweene
the
Spanish
Souldiers
had
not
hindred
the
labour
and
Plantation
of
the
Husbandmen
.
This
Citie
is
iudged
to
be
the
most
pleasant
dwelling
of
all
the
Land
,
in
respect
of
the
commodity
of
the
harbour
,
the
great
contractation
of
Marchants
,
and
the
generall
resort
of
the
people
of
the
maine
Land
,
who
come
thither
from
all
parts
,
and
buy
their
furniture
and
prouision
.
From
the
Mines
of
this
Prouince
,
is
brought
great
store
of
gold
and
siluer
.
The
scituation
of
it
is
neere
the
midst
of
the
Land
as
yet
discouered
,
for
which
cause
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fifth
,
placed
there
a
Chauncerie
royall
,
and
Iudges
to
decide
his
subiects
causes
,
which
also
doth
encrease
the
confluence
of
the
people
.
It
is
seated
two
leagues
from
the
Roade
,
commonly
called
Callee
de
Lima
,
or
the
Port
of
Lima.
Le

the
vnited
Prouinces
,
knowing
how
much
the
gaining
of
this
place
might
accommodate
the
Hollanders
,
and
incommodate
the
Spaniards
,
resolues
vpon
the
attempt
.
And
being
furnished
with
a
sufficient
number
of
shipping
,
and
men
befitting
such
an
enterprise
,
he
sets
saile
from
the
Netherlands
,
and
after
a
tedious
Nauigation
through
the
Straights
of
Magellan
,
arriues
at
last
in
the
South
Sea
opposite
vnto
Lima
;
where
hee
makes
his
intention
knowne
to
the
Companie
,
and
then
aduentures
vpon
the
exploit
:
wherein
Fortune
shewed
her selfe
so
fauourable
,
that
with
little
or
no
losse
,
he
made
himselfe
Master
of
the
Callee
de
Lime
,
to
the
great
terrour
of
the
Citie
,
which
as
some
men
report
,
hath
since
yeelded
it selfe
to
the
mercy
of
the
Hollanders
.
The
Conquerours
got
a
great
spoile
in
Shipping
,
Treasure
,
and
other
rich
commodities
,
and
haue
since
gotten
two
other
places
in
the
Prouince
of
Peruana
.
Thus
you
haue
seene
a
true
Suruay
of
those
most
remarkable
losses
and
victories
,
which
haue
hapned
betweene
the
Hollanders
and
the
Spaniards
since
the
last
truce
,
which
ended
with
the
beginning
of
the
yeare
1621.
It
followes
,
that
after
their
expression
we
should
iustly
counterpoise
,
and
ballance
them
:
which
if
wee
doe
without
nationall
respect
or
partiall
inclination
,
wee
shall
see
the
Dutch
Acquisitions
to
exceede
the
Spanish
,
and
yet
their
losses
to
be
farre
inferiour
vnto
the
others
.
For
leauing
out
Ormus
out
of
the
ballance
,
because
it
is
now
peculiariz'd
vnto
the
Persian
,
although
it
were
won
by
the
succours
of
the
Dutch
and
English
:
if
wee
counterpoize
the
Conquest
of
Saint
Saluador
,
and
the
part
of
Lima
(
omitting
that
of
the
Cities
as
doubtfull
)
with
al
the
new
Acquisitions
of
Spaine
,
we
shall
behold
these
to
ouerway
all
those
,
which
this
Nation
hath
of
late
acquired
in
Cleeue
and
Iuliers
;
and
this
aduantage
doth
proceede
not
from
one
,
but
from
diuers
conditions
and
respects
.
For
first
of
all
,
the
profits
of
Gulicke
,
&
of
the
Dutchie
,
with
their
extraordinarie
Fees
and
Contributions
,
will
not
amount
to
aboue
an
hundred
thousand
Duckats
yearely
,
and
allowing
two
thousand
Souldiers
for
the
Garrison
of
that
Signeurie
,
and
euery
man
to
haue
fiue
Shillings
a
weeke
for
his
pay
,
the
annuall
reuenue
will
hardly
quit
the
charges
,
wheras
rating
the
reuenues
of
Brasilia
at
three
millions
of
Duckats
,
and
allowing
one
third
of
this
accrument
to
rise
from
Fernambuco
,
&
another
from
Ascensio
,
Todos
los
Sanctos
,
with
the
territorie
thereto
adioyning
,
shall
by
this
account
bring
a
million
yearely
to
the
Cantors
of
the
Netherlands
.

of

Rhine
and
;
Goffe
,
with
the
contribution
money
drawne
from
the
Boores
of
West
Cleaueland
,
did
hardly
pay
their
owne
Garisons
,
but
the
keeping
of
the
Port
of
Lima
,
may
draw
(
perhaps
)
a
plentifull
Contribution
from
the
golden
Mines
of
Chili
and
Potosi
,
besides
those
spoiles
that
Le
Hermite
hath
already
gotten
esteemed
to
bee
an
inestimable
Masse
,
and
worth
many
Tuns
of
gold
.
3.
The
Catholicke
King
payes
fourescore
thousand
Duckats
vnto
the
Prince
of
Newenburge
by
Composition
,
for
the
resignation
of
these
two
Dutchies
,
but
the
States
holde
those
new
Acquisitions
in
America
,
by
the
tenure
of
their
Sword
,
and
by
that
ius
acquisitum
,
which
power
and
fortune
haue
giuen
to
the
stronger
.
4.
The
Spanish
King
hath
other
competitours
in
Cleaue
&
Iuliers
,
besides
the
Confederates
of
the
seauen
Prouinces
,
as
the
house
of
Brandeburge
,
and
(
perhaps
)
the
posterity
of
the
Newenburger
,
may
rowse
themselues
out
of
that
Lethargie
,
wherein
the
Spanish
Pistolets
haue
put
their
sencelesse
Father
,
and
lay
clayme
to
that
Inheritance
,
which
doth
belong
to
them
,
or
the
Brandeburger
Iure
gentium
:
but
the
Hollanders
haue
no
other
titular
pretenders
,
to
their
new
purchases
in
Peruana
and
Brasilia
,
but
the
house
of
Spaine
,
vnto
whom
they
haue
seldome
lost
any
thing
,
which
they
were
once
possest
of
,
and
whereas
the
Sea
could
helpe
them
for
many
yeares
together
.
5.
The
losse
of
Gulicke
,
Goffe
,
and
Papenmuch
,
giues
no
other
disaduantage
to
the
States
,
they
hauing
Rees
,
Embricke
,
and
Skenkes
Sconce
,
betweene
that
and
their
neerest
frontier
;
but
the
possessing
of
these
two
places
in
the
West
Indies
,
the
one
vpon
the
North
,
the
other
vpon
the
South
Sea
,
doe
euen
wast
in
the
intermediate
Continent
of
America
,
and
giue
an
entrance
vnto
those
Prouinces
,
whose
golde
hath
battered
the
walls
,
and
opened
the
gates
of
the
strongest
Townes
of
Christendome
,
for
the
Spaniards
.
6.
And
lastly
,
the
Inhabitants
of
Cleaue
and
Iuliers
,
doe
not
well
like
the
hard
and
heauy
hand
of
your
Castilian
gouernment
,
no
more
then
doe
all
the
lower
circles
of
the
Empire
,
as
well
knowing
how
these
Intruders
haue
impaired
the
Germane
liberty
,
and
spur-gall'd
Bohemia
and
the
Palatinate
almost
to
death
:
but
the
Brasilians
and
Peruuians
,
yea
the
very
Portugals
themselues
would
willingly
receiue
the
law
from
the
Dutch-men
,
whom
they
admire
as
much
for
their
faire
and
gentle
gouernement
,
as
they
hate
the
others
for
their
rigour
,
tiranny
,
and
oppression
.
The
Mansfeldian
Motiues
,
directed
vnto
all
Colonels
,
Liuetenant-Colonels
,
Captaines
,
Inferiour
Officers
and
other
Souldiers
,
which
either
as
Voluntiers
,
or
by
way
of
Imprest
,
are
ingaged
to
serue
in
this
next
Expedition
,
intended
by
the
grace
of
God
vnder
the
conduct
and
commaund
of
the
most
Illustrous
and
Warlike
Prince
ERNESTVS
,
Earle
of
Mansfield
.
HOnourable
Professors
of
Armes
,
you
may
see
in
this
Dutch
Suruay
or
ballance
,
the
swelling
fortune
of
a
triumphant
State
:
You
may
beholde
also
a
handful
of
Netherlanders
,
with
some
few
Mercinary
French
and
English
,
giue
the
checke
to
that
Kingdome
,
which
so
long
hath
stroue
for
the
Monarchie
,
Supreame
Paramount
of
all
Christendome
:
Let
this
President
serue
for
our
present
encouragement
;
and
withall
,
let
vs
consider
,
that
if
those
7.
Prouinces
(
thought
to
be
but
a
morsell
for
the
Spaniards
mouth
,
they
being
not
as
bigge
as
that
part
of
England
whch
lyes
Northward
beyond
the
Trent
)
could
make
their
partie
good
for
so
many
yeares
together
,
against
the
Catholique
King
,
and
his
Pack-horse
the
Catholique
Bishop
of
Rome
:
What
shall
not
the
vnited
forces
of
England
,
France
,
Denmarke
,
and
the
Netherlands
doe
against
Pope
,
or
Emperour
,
Austrian
or
Bauarian
,
or
any
other
Christian
Potentate
whatsoeuer
;
The
expected
blessings
of
God
,
continuall
supplies
of
meanes
,
and
the
vndoubted
Iustice
of
a
good
cause
concurring
therewithall
?
In
the
prosecution
whereof
,
let
not
the
Papall
curses
and
fulminations
,
the
vncharitable
censures
of
your
Iesuitized
English
,
nor
the
foolish
presages
of
the
Speedewels
ill
speed
,
any
thing
deterre
vs
:
For
that
Royall
Ship
which
should
haue
transported
ouer
the
Count
,
was
cast
away
by
the
default
of
the
Pilot
,
a
man
not
well
aquainted
with
those
Seas
,
a
stranger
vnto
Flushing
,
and
possest
(
as
it
is
thought
)
with
a
malicious
resolution
against
the
person
of
Count
Mansfield
.
So
that
leauing
any
coniecture
vpon
this
euent
,
befitting
aswell
a
Colledge
of
Romane
Augurs
,
as
it
doth
a
Conclaue
of
Ignatius
Disciples
,
let
vs
discend
nearer
to
the
purpose
,
and
accommodate
our selues
to
the
expression
of
these
Motiues
,
which
may
confirme
the
stronger
,
and
strengthen
the
more
doubtfull
and
weaker
spirits
(
if
there
be
any
such
)
who
are
vndertakers
in
this
new
designed
Mansfeldian
Expedition
.
And
first
,
concerning
those
Motiues
,
your
worthinesse
may
vnderstand
that
they
may
fitly
be
reduced
vnto
the
number
of
three
.
The
first
whereof
,
is
the
sufficiency
and
conduct
of
that
Generall
vnder
whom
you
are
to
vndertake
.
The
second
is
the
meanes
of
prouision
and
preparation
made
for
the
vndertakers
.
The
third
motiue
,
is
the
cause
conceaued
,
though
not
expressed
,
for
which
you
are
to
vndertake
and
vndergoe
this
action
.
And
first
,
concerning
the
Generall
,
you
are
to
fight
vnder
one
whom
neuer
aduersity
could
deiect
,
nor
euer
prosperity
could
once
erect
beyond
the
temper
of
true
command
.
You
are
to
fight
vnder
such
a
Commander
,
whom
Pistolets
,
promises
,
nor
proscriptions
(
the
powerfull
Instruments
to
subiect
staggering
resolutions
)
could
once
diuert
from
the
tenour
of
his
intendments
.
You
are
to
serue
vnder
his
Banners
,
of
whom
we
may
boldly
say
thus
,
Qui
cum
ab
omnibus
desertus
erat
,
seipsum
tamen
non
deserit
,
When
he
was
forsaken
by
the
two
Anhalts
,
Ausberge
,
and
other
Princes
of
the
Vnion
,
neuer
forsooke
himselfe
,
nor
left
the
cause
of
the
King
of
Bohemia
in
the
suds
.
Are
you
to
encounter
with
your
Enemies
in
Campania
?
vnder
whose
Colours
can
you
sustaine
the
shock
of
Hostile
opposition
better
then
vnder
his
,
who
beate
Leopoldus
men
in
their
owne
Quarters
at
Hagenawe
,
killed
Bawer
the
Duke
of
Bauariaes
General
in
his
lodging
at
Heseldorff
,
&
fought
that
memorable
battell
of
Fleury
neere
Namurs
,
wherein
fifteene
thousand
of
his
men
vanquisht
sixteene
thousand
of
Gonsaluo
de
Cordabaes
troupes
,
&
20000.
Boores
of
their
party
besides
?
Are
you
to
make
a
retrait
from
the
pursuing
enemie
?
Is
not
this
that
braue
Conductor
,
who
made
that
famous
retraite
from
Bohemia
into
the
Palatinate
,
and
from
thence
vnto
Breda
,
a
tract
of
sixe
hundred
English
miles
at
least
?
which
considering
the
valour
and
aduantage
of
the
pursuers
,
was
not
inferiour
vnto
that
retraite
of
Zenophons
from
out
of
Persia
,
nor
that
of
Conons
from
Aquilia
into
Britannie
.
Are
you
to
besiege
Towne
or
Fortresse
?
Consider
then
how
the
Count
forced
Pilsen
,
a
principall
towne
in
Bohemia
,
which
Zischa
anuo
1470.
could
not
subdue
,
nor
the
Hussites
in
their
ten
moneths
siege
,
anno
1434.
could
not
conquer
;
and
this
he
did
being
weakely
accompanied
,
and
beyond
the
expectation
of
humane
reason
.
Consider
this
besides
,
how
that
after
the
defeate
of
Zablatti
,
he
rallied
his
troupes
in
the
Winter
season
,
wonne
Vodian
,
Prachalis
,
and
Wintenberg
,
one
after
another
,
and
though
detained
by
Christian
of
Anhaults
letters
,
he
besieged
Pisack
,
a
strong
place
,
&
of
importance
,
&
wonne
this
Towne
the
sixth
of
December
,
inforcing
nature
as
the
said
Christian
wrote
vnto
him
.
Are
you
distressed
for
want
of
meanes
and
victuals
,
so
that
you
haue
nothing
but
the
ayre
and
your
swords
to
liue
by
?
remember
how
yee
shall
martch
vnder
that
Generall
,
who
maintained
an
Armie
consisting
of
diuers
Nations
and
different
humours
,
like
another
Hanniball
without
mutinie
,
yet
without
pay
for
three
yeares
together
,
filling
their
panches
&
their
purses
with
the
plentifull
spoiles
of
Alsatia
,
Metz
,
and
Triers
,
and
with
the
abundant
prouisions
of
Emden
,
Munster
,
and
Westphalia
?
To
be
briefe
,
are
you
to
actuate
or
endure
any
thing
,
remember
this
that
you
doe
it
vnder
the
fortune
,
valour
,
and
good
conduct
of
Count
Mansfield
.
The
second
motiue
which
may
serue
to
encourage
vs
,
is
the
sufficient
prouision
of
meanes
prouided
for
this
iourney
,
as
men
,
munition
,
victuals
,
and
money
:
the
sinewes
,
by
which
Warre
is
supported
,
and
all
Martial
enterprises
are
brought
to
a
happy
accomplishment
.
Our
men
are
those
Laconian
walls
of
bones
,
which
must
make
good
this
attempt
against
all
opposition
:
and
these
are
the
chiefest
Nations
,
and
flower
of
all
Christendome
.
The
French
haue
beene
held
the
best
Cauallerie
of
the
world
,
seldome
or
neuer
beaten
,
except
it
were
by
our
English
Bils
and
Bowes
;
of
these
we
shall
haue
sixe
thousand
Carbins
,
and
armed
Curaiciers
.
The
Germanes
were
held
in
the
time
of
Guichardine
,
the
best
foote
of
the
world
,
and
so
much
redoubted
by
the
Italians
,
that
they
durst
not
encounter
with
them
,
except
they
had
foote
companies
of
the
same
Nation
:
and
of
these
,
we
shall
muster
eight
or
ten
thousand
.
Our
English
in
these
latter
times
,
haue
bin
reputed
the
best
Battalions
of
Pikes
in
all
Christendome
,
and
whom
the
Spaniards
in
their
ouer-valuing
humor
,
will
acknowledge
onely
to
be
seconds
vnto
themselues
;
and
of
men
fit
to
handle
these
Armes
,
England
sends
forth
twelue
thousand
.
The
vnexhausted
Mines
of
Britanie
,
will
furnish
these
braue
Troupes
with
Lead
and
Iron
for
their
Ammunition
:
our
Magazins
will
supply
their
wants
with
Serpentine
and
Corn-pouder
for
Shot
and
Batterie
,
and
our
friends
of
the
Continent
will
prouide
Waggons
,
Horses
,
and
other
necessaries
fit
for
the
conuoy
of
such
a
Royall
Army
.
Money
will
not
be
wanting
,
nor
I
hope
the
mutinous
sound
of
Gelt
will
neuer
be
heard
in
our
Quarters
,
nor
an
Electo
chosen
to
reforme
the
same
;
for
besides
the
liberall
Contribution
of
diuers
noblemen
of
England
,
forwarder
of
this
enterprise
,
and
the
plentifull
prouision
of
our
Parliament
in
that
behalfe
,
Fraunce
and
Sauoy
,
Germanie
and
Venice
,
contribute
towards
the
charges
of
this
intended
iourney
.
But
is
there
any
man
who
doubts
the
want
of
victuals
,
whose
courage
depends
vpon
his
Colon
,
and
who
neuer
fights
well
,
but
when
his
paunch
is
full
?
Let
this
man
whose
thoughts
are
so
vnsouldierlike
,
knowe
,
that
besides
our
owne
prouisions
,
which
I
hope
wil
be
abundant
and
enough
,
France
is
contracted
vnto
vs
with
a
new
alliance
,
and
the
frontier
of
that
Kingdome
,
against
the
higher
and
lower
Germanie
,
runneth
a
tract
of
fiue
hundred
miles
at
least
:
So
that
in
all
reason
it
cannot
be
farre
from
the
seate
of
our
action
.
And
can
wee
dreame
then
of
want
and
scarcities
,
hauing
such
a
plentifull
friend
to
our
neighbour
,
who
without
all
peraduenture
,
will
furnish
vs
with
Graine
,
Beefes
,
Muttons
,
and
all
other
necessaries
,
which
are
fit
for
the
maintenance
and
preseruation
of
an
Armie
?
In
the
third
and
last
place
follow
the
causes
,
which
may
moue
and
incite
vs
to
this
enterprise
,
and
these
are
of
two
sorts
,
either
of
policie
or
of
Religion
.
Concerning
the
politique
causes
,
I
will
enter
no
farther
into
their
mysterie
,
then
duty
and
modesty
will
giue
mee
leaue
:
For
I
know
there
is
a
sanctum
sanctorum
of
policie
;
there
is
an
inner
Court
of
Royall
Counsell
,
into
which
no
man
ought
to
enter
,
except
Assuerus
put
out
the
golden
rod
of
his
admission
.
Onely
I
will
giue
this
caution
to
those
spirits
who
are
ouer-curious
after
this
Inquest
,
and
deliberate
continually
with
themselues
,
whether
the
recouerie
of
the
Palatinate
,
or
the
reuenge
of
the
Bauarians
and
Emperours
wrongs
be
the
causes
of
this
expedition
,
I
will
giue
I
say
that
caution
which
his
Maiestie
gaue
in
the
last
Parliament
:
That
no
man
should
question
,
whether
the
Empire
,
Bauaria
,
or
any
other
determinate
place
,
should
be
the
seate
of
this
Warre
,
since
the
discouery
of
this
particular
cannot
chuse
but
preiudice
the
present
seruice
:
for
an
Enemie
warn'd
is
arm'd
,
secrecie
is
the
spirit
of
action
,
and
this
with
an
expedite
deliuery
,
crownes
all
warlike
exploits
,
with
successe
and
glory
.
But
concerning
that
point
of
Religion
,
I
will
enlarge
my
speech
more
freely
,
and
boldly
maintaine
notwithstanding
any
opposition
to
the
contrary
;
that
this
iourney
is
not
pro
focis
alone
,
but
pro
aris
,
not
for
temporall
respects
onely
,
but
for
conscience
,
Religion
,
and
the
propagation
of
the
Gospell
concurring
therewithall
.
And
for
the
vindication
of
their
wrongs
,
what
task
can
be
too
hard
?
what
danger
can
be
too
difficult
?
so
that
if
we
were
to
martch
ouer
the
sandy
Deserts
of
Arabia
,
ouer
the
vnpassable
wildes
and
woulds
of
Scithia
or
the
Frozen
Slowes
of
Swethland
and
Muscouia
:
if
we
were
to
encounter
with
famine
,
fire
,
and
sword
,
nay
with
all
the
terrours
of
mortality
,
and
that
their
fearefull
consideration
should
terribilize
their
nature
and
condition
,
we
should
consider
what
Christ
suffered
for
vs
,
and
suffer
any
thing
,
yea
all
things
with
patience
,
for
his
Religion
,
Truth
,
and
Gospell
.
Our
Enemies
haue
made
Religion
their
stalking
horse
,
and
our
backs
their
pack-horse
:
by
which
meanes
they
haue
imposed
a
Romish
Florentine
tricke
vpon
our
credulous
confidence
,
and
open
breasted
,
meaning
.
It
remaines
for
vs
,
that
wee
should
recollect
our
strengths
and
spirits
,
make
our
reuenge
as
sensible
as
our
iniuries
are
prouoking
,
and
martch
at
length
ouer
their
bellies
,
who
haue
rid
pack-ridge
so
long
vpon
our
backes
.
And
to
end
,
that
our
actions
may
pertake
of
externall
glory
here
,
and
after
this
life
of
eternall
glorification
,
let
the
seruice
of
God
,
our
Country
,
and
the
common
cause
,
be
the
generall
bent
and
scope
of
all
our
enterprises
,
fighting
for
Dauids
cause
;
let
vs
arme
our selues
with
Dauids
resolution
,
and
let
vs
come
against
them
,
who
came
against
vs
with
shield
,
sword
,
and
speare
,
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
of
Hoasts
,
the
God
of
the
Hoast
of
Israel
;
and
then
hee
that
teacheth
our
fingers
to
fight
,
and
our
hands
to
wage
the
Battell
,
shall
breake
the
cheeke-bone
of
our
Enemies
,
and
make
them
become
like
those
Princes
which
perished
at
Endor
,
euen
durt
and
dung
vnder
our
feete
.

faxit
