BEfore
,
in
the
begynnynge
of
thys
worke
,
haue
we
diuided
thys
whole
Cronicle
and
tymes
of
the
worlde
in
thre
partes
,
and
that
accordinge
to
the
sayenge
of

,
that
both
the
moost
alterations
of

in
the
world
,
and
order
of
the
tymes
myght
be
knowen
more
surely
.
Besydes
thys
,
that
we
shoulde
also
knowe
,
that
the
worldes
end
is
nowe
not
farre
of

Howbeit
we
haue
nowe
dispatched
allmoost
foure
thousand
yeares
,
and
about
that
time
nearehande
was
Christ
borne
,
the
whyche
Elias
had
prophecyed
.
Now
in
this
thyrd

,
shall
we
lyke
wyse
treate
of
the
thyrde
parte
of
Elias
meanynge
,
and
begynne
thys
boke
wyth
the

.
And
how
lytle
Elias
had
fayled
in
the
order
of
the
yeares
,
truely
it
maye
be
perceaued
verye
easely
:
for
CHRISTE
our
LORD
,
very
God
and

,
Whan
Christ
was

.
was
borne
into
thys
lyfe
of
the
virgin
Mary
euen
the
two

fortyeth
yeare
of

:
and
thys
was
thre
thousande
,
nyne
hundreth
and
foure
and
fortyeth
yeare
sence
the
creation
of
the
worlde
.
But
to
counte
the
yeares
exactely
and
narowly
,
there
is
somewhat
requisite
in
the
nombre
of
the
yeares
.
For
the
foure
thousande
yeares
are
not
fulfilled
.
But
the
prophete
sayde
moreouer
:
that
God
wold
preuent
and
come
spedely
before
the
tyme
of
hys
comminge
,
because
the
ende
of
all
thinges
myght
be
more

.
Howbeit
the
thynges
that
are
concernyng
the
knowledge
of
Christes
natiuyte
,
Passion
and
Resurrection
for
euerye
Godly
man
,
the

maye
all
be

But
one
called

was
captayne

whom
the

do
call
Arminius

As

And
by
my
iudgement
is
that
called

,
whych
now

called

This
Arminius
oppressed

Tacitus
the

sheweth
at

of

,
that
is

beneth

Cassel
,
not

from
the

For
thus
sayeth
Tacitus
:
They
ployled
so
much
as
lyeth
betwene
the
floudes
Amisia
&
Lyppya
,
not

from
the
woode
of
Teutoburgum
,
where
the
residue
of
Varus
hooste
and
legions
is
sayde
to
lye
vnburyed
.
As
for
this
slaughter
made
the
Romanes
no
lesse
afrayde
,
that
in
tymes
paste
whan
the
Cimbriwaysted
Italy
.
For
the
Romanes
were
afrayde
lest
Arminius
wyth
force
of
armes
had
inuaded
the
Romane
empyre
,
and
come
vntyll
Rome
.
Augustus
was
in
suche
distresse
by
reason
of
the
feare
of
the
greate
daunger
,
that
he
caused
euery
man
to
be

in

It
is
also
sayed
,
that
he
sayed
of
wepyng
&
with
great
crye
:
Quintily
restore
the
legions
.
But
when
the
Romanes
were
dryuen
out
of
Saxony
,
they
brought
to
passe
,
that
Arminius
was
inuaded
with
war
of
his
neighbors
,
there
was
at
that
tyme
the
Swedes
and
Belhems
,
dwelling

Arminius
ouercame

that

It
is
very
profitable
to
beholde
in

the

that
are
declared

the
examples
of

,
that

Tiberius
was

of

,
but
for
Tiberiu●
.
somuche
as
the
true
heyres
of
Augustus
were
deade
,
he
toke
in
steade
and
chose
for
heyre
Tiberius
the
sonne
of
Liuia
,
whiche
was
already
maried
to
Augustus
:
and
because
Tiberius
was
a
valiaunt
man
of

,
Augustus
vsed
hym
alway
for
a

.
This
Tiberius
was
the
first
Emperour
,
to

the

And

that

Whan
at

was
appointed
by
Constantius
,
wherein
Alexander
and
Arrius
shoulde
openly
reason
of
the
scrypture
,
concerninge
this
learninge
,
Alexander
spent
the
whole
nyghte
in
prayenge
in

temple
,
prayenge

,
that
the
secte
of
Arrius
should
crepe

Wherfore
in
the
morninge
before
the
appoynted
houre
of
the
disputation
,
whan
Arrius
went
to
the
place
,
he
beganne

where

incontinent

Howbeit
whan
Arrius
was
of

wyse
deade
,
yet
ceased
not
the
sede
of
his
poysoned
doctrine
to
be
sowed
larger

,
because
that
they
that
were
conspyred
together
of
this

,
beganne
to

more
vehemently
.
At
the

whan

was

also
,
Athanasius

successor
disputed

.
And
though
thys
was
a
very

,
yet
was
the
bannyshed
man
fayne
to
hyde
hymselfe
secretly
at
Tryere
vntyll
the
eyght
yeare
.
In
the
meane
season
was
that
heresy
fearcely
growen
thorough
out
in
the
East
churche
,
euen
so
muche
,
that
for
a
season
a
greate
part
of
Christen
men
did
leane
to
the
Arrian
secte
,
and
out
of
thys
secte
sprange
by
lytle
and
lytle
,
other
sectes
many
.
Fynally
whan
the
name
of
Arryans
was
by
the
decrees
of
many
councels
quenched
,
yet
was
it
now
and
than
renewed
againe
in
the
churche
vnder
other
names
.
In
one
citye
were
sundery
opinions
,
and
diuerse
sectes
persecuted
eche
other
,
insomuche
that
the
one
running
vpon
the
other
in
theyr
temples
,
made
ryots
and
committed
man
slaughter
.
At
that
tyme
was
the
state
of
the
church
very
wretched
and
pyteous
,
the
which
worthely
gaue
an
occasion
of
slaunder
,
not
only
to
the
Gentyls
,
why
they
dyd
not
embrace
the
word
of
God
:
but
dyd
offende
other
also
,
that
they
went
from
the
Christianity
to
the
Idolatry
of
the
Heythen
,
among
the
which
was
also
Iulianus
the
Emperoure
.
In
the
tyme
of
this
so
myscheuous
Arrius
was
the
forerunner
of
Mahomet
heresy
,
came
vp
finally
Mahomet
,
to
whom
by
Arrius
was
as
it
were
a
window
handsomly
opened
:
&
was
the
forerunner
of
this
most
cruel
Antichrist
.
For
whan
the
myndes
of
men
went
astray
in
so
great
dissension
of
opinions
,
came
Mahomet
,
&
inuented
very
wysely

,

should

the

that
many

mencyon
of

▪
we
shall
here
summarely
draw
the
histories
of
theyr
of
spryng
and
actes
.
The
Gotthi
,
Vandali
,
Rugiani
and
Hunni
be
not
estimed
to
be
one
people
:
but
the
Gotthi
are
Dutchmen
out
of
the
Ile
Godtlande
,
which
dwelt
in
a
parte
of
Lislande
and
Littowe
:
For
ether
of
these
contryes
lyeth
ouer
against
Godtland
by
the
seasyde
.
And
therefore
doth
Procopius
call
them
aryght
Cimme●ij
and
Gethe
.
These
than
in
the
time
of
the
Romanes
were
gone
into
Thracia
and
Hungary
,
and
the
Romysh
Emperours
assayed
to
dryue
them
out
agayne
,
but
all
was
in
vayne
.
In
the
rehearsall
of
Decius
,
haue
we
touched
the
begynnyng
of
their
history
:
For
the
fyrst
great
battail
of
the
Romanes
agaynst
them
was
vnder
Decius
,
wherein
also
Decius
was
slayne
.
But
afterwarde
though
the
Romane
Emperours
made
the
Gotthies
haue
much
ado
:
yet
remayned
they
in
Thracia
and
Hungary
,
and
in
,
Asia
about
Constantynople
they
toke
in
certayn
contryes
.
It
is
sayde
,
that
Gotthies
in
the
halfe
Ile
Taurica
.
yet
now
adayes
dwell
Gotthy
in
the
half
Ile
Taurica
,
which
speake
Dutche
,
and
call
themselus
Gotthi
.
Howbeit
they
lefte
Hungarye
and
also
Thracia
so
at
the
laste
,
that
of
theyr
free
wyll
they
went
fyrst
into
Italy
,
and
afterward
into
Spayn
:
Afterwarde
were
the
rest
of
the
Gotthies
destroyed
by
the
Vandalyes
and
Hunmes
commyng
out
of
Scythya
.
The
Hunny
made
theyr
dwellinge
place
in
Hungary
.
But
the
contryes
that
lye
partly
vnder
,
partly
aboute
Hungary
,
haue
the
Vandaly
taken
in
.
But
in
the
tyme
of
Arcadius
and
Honorius
are
the
Gotthy
come
into
Italy
.
The
mooste
noble
Emperoure
Theodosius
ordeined
to
his
sonnes
Theodosius
two
capitaines
Rufinus
and
Stillico
,
and
wylled
them
to
care
for
the
Emperours
yong
sonnes
:
but
the
one
was
disloyal
to
hys
lorde
.
Rufinus
was
of
Gallia
:
the
same
enticed
the
Gotthies
against
Arcadius
,
and
hoped
to
optayne
the
kyngdome
by
that
meane
:
but
he
was
frustrated
of
his
purpose
,
for
he
was
slaine
by
Stillico
.
As
for
Stillico
was
a
Vandale
:
Stillico
.
and
whan
some
of
the
Gotthi
were
come
agaynst
Arcadius
,
Stillico
broughte
to
passe
,
that
the
Gotthi
which
Theodosius
hadde
taken
in
wages
,
were
letten
go
.
Beside
that
did
Stillico
sett
the
Vandalies
against
the
Gotthies
:
and
so
whan
the
Gotthies
were
fyrste
angered
thorough
Rufinus
,
and
than
chafed
by
Stillico
,
their
kinge
Radagasus
brought
two
hundreth
thousand
Gotthies
Radagasus
.
into
Italy
the
same
yeare
that
we
haue
specified
afore
.
And
as
histories
do
make
mencion
here
,
that
at
Rome
wer
great
complaintes
against
Christ
.
because
that
so
lamentable
decaye
of
the
empyre
they
supposed
to
come
of
the
despisynge
of
the
goddes
,
and
small
regarde
of
the
worshyppe
and
honour
of
the
former
religion
.
As
for
Stillico
vanquished
and
ouercame
Radagasus
and
hys
hoost
in
the
straytes
comminge
from
the
citye
Florence
,
goynge
to
Apenninum
.
This
is
the
fyrst
history
of
the
Gotthies
in
Italy
.
Alaricus
.
After
Radagasus
came
another
hooste
of
Gotthies
into
Italy
,
whose
captayne
was
Alaricus
.
With
the
same
dyd
Honorius
agree
,
that
he
should
depart
out
of
Italy
,
&
go
into
Gallia
,
the
whyche
at
that
tyme
was
awaystynge
of
y●
Frankes
,
Burgundions
&
Vandales
:
insomuche
that
Honorius
mistrusted
he
could
kepe
Gallia
no
lenger
:
&
therefore
thought
he
to
bringe
to
passe
,
that
the
Barbarians
shuld
stryue
among
themselues
for
it
.
But
what
happened
?
Whan
Alaricus
taketh
his
yourney
vpon
him
,
Stillico
doth
fall
vpon
him
vnwarres
,
vpon
Easter
daye
,
whyle
the
truce
did
yet
last
.
The
next
day
after
,
doth
he
lykewise
wyth
an
appointed
army
ouerthrowe
and
vanquyshe
Stillico
,
and
being
angry
vpon
him
,
he
besyeged
Rome
.
Honorius
was
at
Rauenna
,
&
caused
Stillico
to
be
putt
to
death
,
as
one
that
had
not
done
faithfully
,
&
willed
the
empyre
to
be
taken
from
Honorius
&
to
be
geuen
ouer
to
him
.
Wherfore
there
was
now
no
captayne
mete
to
delyuer
the
citye
of
Rome
from
the
syege
.
Therfore
Alaricus
wynneth
Rome
.
dyd
Alaricus
take
in
Rome
after
two
yeres
syege
:
and
that
was
about
the
xv

of
Honorius
,

Romulus

,
to

,
that
Rome
should

a

and
two
hundreth
yeares
,
though
thys

of
the

be
not
farre
from
this
rekening
:
yet
I
suppose
their
interpretation
rather
to
Totilas

pertayne
to
Totilas
,
who
afterwarde
in
the
tyme
of
Iustinianus
dyd
set
Rome
in
fyre
,
&
wholy
spoyled
it
,
and
that
was
an
hundreth
and
syxe
and
thyrty
yeares
after
Alaricus
.
For
Alaricus
dyd
not
spoyle
the
citie
,
but
rather
gaue
a
commaundement
that
they
should
be
spared
,
whyche
fled
to
the
temples
of
the
Christians
,
Alaricus
drue
back
agayne
out
of
the
citie
and
not
longe
after
dyed
.
Whan
he
Ataulphus
.
was
deade
,
Ataulphus
was
made
kyng
of
the
Gotthies
:
the
same
came
agayne
to
Rome
,
and
takynge
to
wyfe
Placidia
Honorius
syster
,
beynge
pacified
by
her
,
he
spared
Rome
,
and
wente
into
Fraunce
,
and
afterwarde
into
Spayne
:
and
of
this
wyse
did
finally
the
Gotthies
leaue
Italye
,
and
went
into
Spayne
.
For
Alaricus
had
before
inuaded
the
Spaniardes
,
&
the
Gotthies
remaining
in
Spayne
afterward
,
had
the
dominion
ther.
The
Vandali
came
into
Spayne
,
&
after
that
the
Suein
:
but
the
Gotthies
remaining

,
the

THe

Othacarus

Dietrichus
surnamed
of

Othacarus

raigned
two

he
loued

out

had
most
deserued
to

insomuch
,
that
as

do
make
mencion
,
Italy
neuer
had

more
frendelier

He
gaue

Bellisarius

But
as

be
put
to
death
,
because
he
suspected
hym
to
couet
the
empyre
.
But
this
is
the
worldes
reward
forsoth
,
for
the
great
valiauntnesses
.
Stillico
Aetius
&
afterward
Bellisarius
were
most
excellent
captaines
.
Nether
were
in
the
empyre
any
els
,
which
resembled
the
vertues
and
strength
of
the
auncient
Romanes
so
well
,
as
they
:
but
they
were
not
worthely
rewarded
for
suche
desertes
.
Valentinianus
demaunded
of
a
Romane
prince
,
whether
Aetius
were
not
worthely
punyshed
?
who
said
,
he
could
not
tell
:
but
this
was
he
sure
,
that
the
Emperour
had
with
his
left
hande
cut
of
hys
ryght
hande
.
After
Valentinianus
was
the
empire
of
Rome
nere
hand
toren
in
peaces
,
&
many
called
them
Emperours
in
Italy
.
Yet
in
the
meane
season
remained
the
maistie
of
an
Emperours
name
by
them
of
Constantinople
,
&
afterwarde
restored
Iustinianus
the
West
empyre
by
Bellisarius
&
Narses
.
But
after
that
Valentinianus
was
deade
,
many
were
called
Emperours
at
once
,
&
within
.xx.
yeres
had
Italy
.ix.
Emperours
,
whiche
reigned
by
a
succession
,
&
the
one
was
slayn
of
the
other
by

.
The
last
was
called
Augustulus
Augustulus
.
(
that

The
diminution
of
the
name
,
was
an
euidence
that
the
gouernaunce
of
the
Augustus

should
fayle
in

:
for
with

failed
finally

is

When
euery
where
was
peace
made
,
Iustinianus
caused
also
the
auncient
lawes
of
the
Romans
to
be
gathered
in
bookes
called
Digesta
,
that
is
,
bokes
appoynted

but
the

bookes
were
darkened
not

were
they
brought

agayne

Lotharius

of

Howbeit
,
it
were
to

to
reherse
here
how
greatly
this
wysdome
is
to
bee
praysed
in
the
Emperoure
,
who
wylled
that
iustice

these

to

executed
,
as
by

of

can
nothynge
be
more
honest
,
holy
and
more

.
Of
Bellisarius
.
I
can
not
worthely
ouerpasse
that
of
Belilsarius
,
which
he
hath
handled
most
faithfully
in
all
thynges
:
he
was
a
peace
and
concorde
maker
in
all
the
worlde
.
He
dyd
wholy
restore
the
empire
of
Rome
,
that
was
nearehand
decaied
and
altogether
weakened
:
to
be
short
,
he
shewed
hys
lorde
and
all
the
worlde
suche
pleasure
,
☜
that
none
coulde
be
greater
nor
more
prayse
worthy
:
and
if
they
were
estymed
aryght
,
they
are
hygh
and
incredible
gyftes
of
God
.
But
what
thankes
the
worlde
geueth
agayn
for
so
great
vertues
,
and
suche
g●stes
of
God
,
that
doth
the
example
of
Bellisarius
was
very
Bellisarius
declare
sufficiently
:
whom
Iustinianus
of
a
very
lyght
suspicion
without
cause
,
caused
to
put
out
his
eye●●
,
and
droue
him
away
,
that
he
shuld
be

THE

The

out
of

into

was
,
that
whan
the

against

the

required

about

After

as

But
forasmuch
as
the
Turkes
were
chefely
geuen
to

,
it
came
to
passe
,
that
the

It
is
worthy

,
that
this

yet
in

that
they
dyd
rydde

preserued

And
if
ye
wyll

ye
shall
iudge
them
to

ben

princes
,
and
not

,
and
in
nothing
to

yee

ye
shall

that
ther
hath
bene
more

Thys
shall
ye
fynde

that

enterprysed
no

but
only
of
necessitie
,
to
mayntayne

,
to
defende
the
liberty
of

the
sauegarde
of

As
for

beynge

of

vnablenesse
,
though
I
can
not
iudge

of
the

men
acrording

theyr
worthynesse
:
yt
is
my
mynde
to
praise
some
princes
aboue
the
other
.
For
I
iudge
it
to
be
pertaynynge
to
the
duety
of

,
that
he

nothinge

more
honeste

more

than
the

Wherfore
I
woulde
oure

were
so
set

that
they
myght

In

Some

diuersly
of

of

:

it
is
certayne
,
that

For
we
haue
no

But
that
the

were
in

Germanes
,
that
it
can
easely
be
proued
out
of

who
wrote

In

But
whan
Galienus
hearde
that
Posthumus
was
made
Emperoure
,
he
sent
against
hym
an
apointed
army
.
Posthumus
likewyse
commaunded
his
men
to
be
in
a
readinesse
among
the
whiche
were
euen
the
Frankes

And
though
Posthumus
was
afterwarde
slayne
priuely
by
an
intrap
,
yet
the
Frankes
once
prouoked
to
weapons
,
remayned
alway
in

settyng
forth
to

,
and
came
downe
from

and
ouer
the
Rene
toke
they
first
the
citie
Trier
from

,
and
afterwards
went
into

.
But
after
that
they
had
foughten
against

with
the
Romanes
,
they
were
alway
in
great
fauour
wyth
the

in

that
Iustinianus

And
this

dyd
he
set

,
and
caused

He

also
to

the

of
the

,
wherein
it
is
said
he
had
suche
pleasure

that

but
in

There

In

In

pristes
,
and
he
woulde
other

to
do
likewyse
after
his
example
,
whom
he
prescribed
lessons
,
which
semeth
to
pertain
to
his
and
their

For
he
was
an

In

Beside

shewed
these
thynges

answered

That
it

euident
that

were

true

is
:
By

for

it
appeareth
euidently
ynough
that
Henry
is
endued
with
wisedome
and
gentlenesse
,
it
is
no
dout
,

God
doth
assiste
him
:
he
shuld
therfore
thenceforth
leaue
of
from
his
enterpryse
,
nether
to

Wherefore

Who
I
pray
you

that

that

so
sone
as
he
was

wolde
not

By
all

maye
it

be

that

and
that
among

that
in

so

a

to

for

that

euermore
,
without

Therfore
with

of

(
who
,
because

dyd
make

And

the

To

ioyned
the

(
for
at

had
Bohemy

)
the
County
Palatine
of
the
Rene
,
the
duke
of
Saxony
,
&
the
Marques
of
Brandenborowe
.
I
maruayll
verely
why
so
hygh
a
dignitie
is
not
bequyethed
to
other
princes
,
which
at
that
tyme
were
farre
more
puyssaunt
,
as
namely
to
the
dukes
of
Baier
,
of
Schwaben
&
of
the
Frankes
,
and
specially
the
duke
of
Baier
,
who
was
nearer
of
kynred
to
Otho
,
than
the
other
,
and
more
greater
of

.
For
he
had
subiect

vntyll

,
the
whyche

The
duke
also
of

was
neare
kynsman
to

For
whan

He
gaue

Of

come
the

Therefore
maye
it
be

,
what
was

to

What

is
worthye
,
that
can
I
not
now
sufficiently
declare
according
to
the
worthynesse
of
it
:
the
dede
proueth
yt
selfe
what

it
hath
broughte
.
For
by
thys
ordinaunce
hath
the
Empyre
remained
in
Germany
aboue
fyue
hundreth
yeares
.
Besydes
that
is
nothyng
so
good
nor
wholsome
in
mens
estates
,
than
those
counsels
and
ordinaunces
,
whereby
is
auoided
the
occasion
to
alter
of
tymes
the
gouernaunce
of
Empyres
:
whyche
thynge
by
the
goodnesse
of
God
is
done
by
thys
instytutyon
of
the
Electors
.
By
thys
meanes
is
yt
come
to
passe
,
that
the
Empyre
is
prouyded
,
that
the
traynefull
and
secrete
conspiracyons
of
the
byshoppe
of
Rome
and
Frenche
kynge
dyd
not
prospere
,
whiche
endeuoured
oft
to
transferre
the
hyghnesse
of
the
Empyre
from
the
Germanes
to
the
Frenchemen
.
The
Emperoure
also
hath
more
sauegarde
or
defence
of
the
princes
,
when
he
is
chosen
by
their
consent
:
and
lesse
stryfe
can
ryse
for
the
election
,
when
the
desyres
of
the
chefe
princes
consent
to
one
.
Besydes
this
also
,
forsomuche
as
the
maiestie
of
the
empyre
is
remitted
to
many
princes
together
,
it
is
to
be
trusted
that
the
state
of
the
empire
shal
be
both
stronger
and
more
durable
,
then
if
it
dyd
stycke
by
the
succession
of
one
bloude
.
All
these
thynges
make
for
that
purpose
,
that
no
great
stryfe
come
by
reson
of
the
election
or
choysyng
:
and
also
that
the
heade
of
the
West
empyre
be
in
some
certayn
place
,
and
that
because
the
concorde
and
tranquillitie
of
the
religion
in
all
this
West
kyngdome
,
be
maynteined
vnder
one
certayne
heade
.
The
Athenians
in
tymes
past
auaunced
their
ordinaunce
of
the
Areopagites
with
great
prayses
:
lykewyse
dyd
the
Lacedemonians
their
statutes
of
the
Ephories
:
and
that
worthely
,
for
by
them
remained
their
common
welthes
stedfaste
a
great
while
.
But
forsoth
this
in
stitucion
of
Otho
made
of
the
Electors
,
as
it
is
farre
more
profitable
,
so
it
is
worthy
muche
more
prayse
and
auauncement
:
as
by
the
whiche
stablenesse
of
the
empyre
and
constant
religion
are
mainteyned
many
yeares
,
not
onely
in
one
or
other
citie
or
contrey
,
but
in
the
whole
Weste
.
And
the
princes
Electors
ought
worthely
make
muche
of
this
their
prerogatiue
.
First
because
of
the
whole
Christiantie
,
that
by
them
is
this
hyghnesse
set
aparte
.
For
they
are
as
a
stedfast
heade
,
wherewith
foreuer
all
this
Weste
kyngdome
is
kept
and
bounde
together
:
for
they
maye
be
called
the
very
route
,
out
of
the
which
emperoures
must
euermore
growe
.
Moreouer
also
can
no
hygher
dignitie
happen
them
in
this
lyfe
then
that
worthynesse
is
geuen
them
lawfully
,
whiche
passeth
farre
the
hyghnesse
of
kynges
and
princes
.
Then
must
this
ordinaunce
be
estemed
a
hygh
gyft
and
an
ordinaunce
of
God
:
Wherefore
also
it
must
greatly
be
made
of
and
kept
without
blemysh
,
least
any
occasion
bee
geuen
to
dissolue
so
Godly
and
wholsome
,
yee
and
moste
fayre
harmony
in
this
lyfe
.
For
by
them
standeth
the
summe
of
the
Romane
Empyre
.
And
therfore
whan
the
Electours
are
seuered
,
it
is
necessary
that
the
kyngdome
or
empyre
fayle
,
and
that
the
last
iudgement
is
at
hande
.
For
the
worlde

had
made
a

making
a

a
most
wyse
aduise
,
that
y●
same
should
not
be
done
without
the
knowledge
and
consent
of
the
Emperoure
.
But
now
that
Hiltebrand
was
come
into

,
he
made
a
decre

wyse
,
that
the

shoulde
not
be

But
the
Emperoure
woulde
,
that
this

Besydes
that
also
had
the
Emperoure
aucthoritie
to
geue
the
byshoprycks
of
the
empyre
:
but
Hiltebrand
would
not
suffre
that
also
.
For
it
happened
oft
,
that
when
one
byshop
was
dead
,
another
was
made
in
his
stead
of
the
Emperoure
,
and
agayne
another
of
the
byshop
of
Rome
,
whiche
dyd
then
excommunicate
the
other
.
Finally
came
the
game
to
this
ende
,
that
the
Emperoure
was
not
onely
excommunicated
,
but
it
was
also
commaunded
,
that
other

And
the
maister

Wherfore

that
no

was

to

the

that
were
raysed
at

against

,
for
choisyng
another

After
that
against

which
had

He
droue

but
when
Lotharius
was
deade
,

returned

Of

LOtharius
is
not

praysed
for
his
notable

in
warres
,
where
with
he
hath
set
both
Germany
and
Italy
at
a
staye
&
rest
:
but
also
for
his
endeuoure
in
the
religion
and
good
lawes
.
In
his
tyme
was
in

by
the
quene

a
man

The

founde
the
bokes
of

in

&
vnregarded
,
and
brought
them
to
lyght
agayne
:
Lotharius
commaunded
to

,
and
to

of

.
And
so
by
this
meanes
was
that
treasure
brought
to
lyght
agayn
,
whiche
none
can
be
more
profitable
,
nor
more
costly
,
namely
whereof
innumerable
profites
are
flowen
.
For
first
it
is
a
certaine
lawe
and
conformable
to
mans
reason
restored
to
whole
Europa
:
by
reason
all
nacions
,
and
all
other
lawes
vse
this
Romane
lawe
in
searchynge
right
as
a
certayne
line
or
carpenters
rule
:
for
it
is
moste
nearest
applyed
to
common
honestie
.
Secondly
do
thees
restored
Romane
lawes
not
a
lytle
profyte
thereto
,
that
they
gyue
commaundementes
of
the
common
behaue
ours
of
this
lyfe
and
best
maners
,
whiche
are
no
where
founde
better
:
I
passe
ouer
that
the
purenesse
of
the
Latine
tungue
began
to
florysh
agayn
,
by
restoryng
of
this
lawe
as
borne
again
.
But
when
this
study
of
the
lawe
was
institute
,
straightwaye
were
become
great
and
many
excellent
lawers
,
whiche
busied
both
to
interprete
the
lawes
,
and
to
set
them
againe
in
vre
.
Truely
,
I
can
not
maruaile
ynough
,
that
men
became
so
well
learned
at
that
tyme
,
wherein
the
vse
of
the
Latine
tunge
,
the
histories
,
finally
al
the
auncient
Romane
disciplines
were
left
of
for
the
whyle
:
so
that
it
may
easely
be
supposed
,
that
those
fyrst
lawers
were
not
onely
men
of
greate
diligence
in
studies
,
but
also
greate
and
wyse
men
exercysed
with
muche
experience
of
common
matters
:
For
wythout
exercyse
,
had
it
bene
impossible
to
knowe
the
Roman
lawes
.
Wherefore
are
the
same
doctors
of
the
lawe
to
bee
iudged
no
lesse
,
than
those
auncient
lawiers
Vlpianus
,
Seruius
and
other
.
Azo
,
whiche
is
euen
the

of

of
the

lyued
in
the
tyme
of
this
Lotharius
.
After
the
same
lyued
Accursius
,
the
same
also
lyued
Accursius
.
vntil
the
time
of
Frederick
the
second
.
In
the
tyme
of
Henry
of
Lucelborowe
were
many
and
notable
doctors
,
as
Bartholus
and
other
.
Gratianus
,
who
Bartholus
.
Gracianus
.
gathered
the
Decrees
of
the
common
lawe
,
was
also
in
the
tyme
of
Lotharius
.
But
before
were
suche
bookes
also
.
For
of
this
sorte
was
a
lytle
booke
written
by
a
byshop
of
Wormes
,
whiche
at
that
tyme
was
vsed
:
we
also
haue
sene
it
in
our
daies
.
But
when
the
studies
of
the
lawe
floryshed
now
euery where
,
and
that
the
best
learned
embraced
them
,
By
what
occasion
the
monkes
are
brought
to
wryte
.
(
as
it
happeneth
moste
commonly
in
a
new
thing
,
)
the
monkes
perceauyng
that
the
knowledge
of
holy
scripture
beganne
to
coule
and
be
despysed
,
for
studieng
the
lawe
:
they
also
beganne
a
studye
of
Theology
or
diuinitie
,
and
ordeyned
scole
disputations
in
diuine
matters
,
as
the
lawers
dyd
in
ciuyll
matters
.
Thus
beganne
the

,
wherof
we
shall
saye

was

the

He
reigned
fourten
yeres
.
It
is
no
where
red
that
he
was
crowned
of
the
Romysh
byshop
.
This
Cunradus
(
as
we
said
before
)
rose
against
Lotharius
,
but
he
was
constrained
to
yelde
himself
vnder
the
Emperours
power
.
But
when
Lotharius
was
deade
,
the
succession
of
the
empire
fell
vpon
Conradus
:
though
Henry

coueted

besyeged

But
Conradus
the

minished

&
gaue
the

Howbeit
this
warre
was
not

:
for
not

after
died
Henry
in

,
and
was

After

Yet
had
our

battails

season

Cunradus
returned

after
into

,
and
was

in

The

where
at

But
hereof
shall
we
speake
more
in
the
history
of
Frederick
.
Frederick
the
.i.
called
Barbarossa
,
or
wyth
the
red
bearde
the
.xx.
Germane
Emperoure
.
THe

was
Frederick
Frederick
the
fyrst
.
chosen
Emperour
,
the
fyrst
of
that
name
,
surnamed
Barbarossa
.
He
gouerned
the
Empyre
.xxxvij.
yeares
.
He
was
a
borne
duke
of
the
noble
house
of
Schwaben
,
Conradus
the
Emperours
brothers
sonne
,
a
most
renovmed
prince
of
hardinesse
,
valiauntnesse
and
iustice
.
So
farre
as
I
can
perceaue
by
his
dedes
,
it
semeth
that
Frederick
,
as
a
gentle
Schwabe
,
could
not
paciently
beare
these
iniuries
,
that
the
byshops
of
Rome
dyd
hym
:
and
I
thynke
it
came
by
this
,
that
he
was
more
harde
againste
them
.
In
the
begynnyng
of
his
empyre
,
set
he
Baierlande
and
Eastenriche
at
one
,
and
restored
to
Catulus
Henry

of
Saxony
,
and
Henry

When

He
made
his
Cosin
Henry
Erle

duke
,
and
set
boundyng
borders

duchy
.
Then
began
first
the
duchy
of
Eastenriche
.
But
Catulus
Henry
kept
Baierlande
not
longe
:
for
he
forsoke
Fredericke
in
Italy
,
and
raised
new
rebellions
Who
are
the
dukes
of
Baier
and
counties
of

.
in
Germany
against
hym
.
Wherfore
Frederick
driuyng
away
Henry
afterwarde
,
the
duchy
of
Baierlande
was
geuen
to
Otho
of
Witelsbach
.
And

which
now

,
gaue

to

Henry
flyenge
,
went
into
Englande
wyth
his
wyfe
and
chyldren
:
but
at
the
last
when
he
returned
,
composition
was
made
,
that
Catulus
Henry
Lubeck
.
should
possesse
the
duchy
of
Brunswich
.
But
then
dyd
Phillippe
byshop
of
Colen
take
the
countrey
Westphalen
from
the
duchy
of
Saxony
withforce
.
Frederick
besyeged
Lubeck
,
and
subdued
it
to
Milan●
.
the
empyre
.
He
compelled
also
the
kyng
of
Dennemarck
to
require
peace
.
They
of
Milane
rebelled
,
and
went
about
to
brynge
the
other
cities
of
Italy
vnder
their
subiection
.
For
that
maner
and
wylfulnesse
to
haued
ominion
,
doth
last
yet
by
the
Italians
:
wherfore
Frederick
goyng
into
Italy
,
apeased
all
rumors
.
But
afterwarde
did
the
byshop
of
Rome
entice
the
Milaners
,
and
the
other
cities
to
a
coniuracion
againste
Frederick
,
and
dyd
excommunicate
hym
.
For
whiche
Frederick
was
excommunicate
by
the
byshop
of
Rome
.
cause
he
went
nowe
the
fourth
tyme
into
Italy
,
he
subdued
and
spoyled
Milane
,
and
assayed
all
the
meanes
he
coulde
to
alaye
the
debate
betwene
the
byshop
of
Rome
and
hym
:
but
it
was
inuayne
.
For
Alexander
the
third
byshop
of
Rome
could
not
be
brought
to
that
poynte
,
that
he
shoulde
not
vexe
the
moste
gentle
prince
:
wherefore
Frederick
went
to
Rome
,
but
Alexander
fled
to
the
Venecians
.
Then
was
Otho
Fredericks

the
Venecians
:
who
beyng
taken
in

vpon

.
For
Frederick
the
Emperoure
sawe
that
the
byshops
of
Rome
coulde
reste
by
no
meanes
.
Moreouer
consydered
he
also
,
that
besyde
that
hys
sonne
was
taken
,
what
was
chaunged
to
the
Emperours
that
were

.
Wherefore
Frederick
vsed
submission
and
moste
lowly
humblenesse
.
For
he
came
The

to
Venice

and
layed
hymselfe
downe
before
the
Churche
dore

Romyshe

,
and
suffred
hymselfe
to

his
fete
:
who
commaunded
also
to
be
cried
out
:

,
and
then
dyd
he
absolue
hym
at
the
last
.
Frederick
sayde
contrariwyse
,
that
he
dyd
not
shewe
that
lowlynesse
to
Alexander
,
but
to
Peter
.
Whereto
aunswered
Alexander
:
both
to
me
and
to

But
what
is
to
be
thought
of

But
when

he
coulde

Friderick
was
a
prysoner
the

at

he
was

shoulde
renounce

whiche
thing
when

had
frely
promised
he
was
restored
into

Of

behaued

very

of

:
for
at
that

were
the
Romysh
Byshoppes
yet
in

This
Nicolas
called
hymself
Tribunus
Augustus
,
that
is
,
the

hygh
officer
:
and
with
open
scriptures
wytnessed
,
that
Rome
is
yet
the
true
heade
of
the
empyre
:
and
therfore
by
the
citie
of
Romes
aucthoritie
,
had
he
the
hyghest
power
to
handle
maters
of
the
empyre
.
And
by
reason
of
this
aucthoritie
called
he
Lewis
and
Charles
to
appeare
before
hym
,
and
to
committe
their
matter
to
his
arbitrement
or

driuen
out
by

fled
to

But

sent
the

to

at

he
was
kept
in

And
then
came

with

hoost
out

where
he
was
knowen
for
an

From
thence
was
he
also
receaued
at

:
for
Charles
made
them
beleue
,
he
had
gotten
a
fauourable
absolution
of
the
bishop
of
Rome
to
put
out
the
great
offences
,
wherwith
they
had
offended
,
in
that
they
were
adherent
to
Lewis
.
When
they
of
Basyl
sent
out
their
Burgemaisters
to
Charles
,
that
he
in
the
name
of
the
citie
should
aske
absolution
,
he
answered
:
he
thought
they
had
not
done
amisse
,
in
that
they
had
Lewis
for
an
Emperoure
,
nether
thought
he
that
Lewis
was
an

:
yet
in
the
meane
tyme
if
they
could
be
absolued
of
their

,
he
wold
be
content

And

were

a

,
whom
he

not

rewarded
,
(
though
in

)

It
fortuned
that
whan

,
hys

dyd
stalle

Whyche
thinge
whan
the
seruaunt
,
that
went
strayght
before

he
sayd
in

:
The

The

hearyng
it

Sigismundus

perceaued
that

aduisedly
touched

taunted
,
that
he
had
not
rewarded
hys
olde
seruaunt
with
some
peculyar
or
greate
rewarde

sayd
:
He

that

I
myselfe
Pyrcamer

haue
herde
of
Pyrcamer
of
Norenberg
,
that
Maximiliane
hymselfe
had
written
some
of
his
dedes
for
certayne
yeares
.
For
he
sayde
:
He
sayled
from
Lynda
to
Constance
with
Maximilian
the
Emperoure
:
and
when
Maximilian
was
nowe
at
leasure
in
saylyng
,
he
called
his
Scribe
to
hym
,
and
rehersed
to
hym
in
Latine
hys
dedes
of
one
yeare
,
in
a
moste
feate
order
,
with
the
declaracion
of
all
the
circunstaunces
and
occasions
.
But
when
Pyrcamer
thought
the
Scribe
should
note
some
secrete
thynge
,
and
therefore
would
auoyde
,
the
Emperoure
commaunded
hym
to
remayne
and
lysten
.
Yea
and
at
euening
he
toke
it
to
Pyrcamer
that
he
had
rehersed
to
rede
,
and
asked
:
whether
that
souldiours
Latine
dyd
lyke
hym
?
and
should
haue
sayde
moreouer
:
He
were
mynded
to
comprehende
those
thynges
so
brefely
and
clerely
,
that
afterwarde
learned
men
might
declare
them
so
muche
the
more
diligently
by
their
causes
and
circumstaunces
.
And
Pyrcamer
sayde
:
that
no
Germane
history
writer
had
vsed
so
pure
a
stile
,
as
was
that
of
Maximilian
:
And
that
after

death
he
had
asked
after

he
coulde
not

it

whiche
this
was
euen
the
chefest
:
Tribute
ought
not
to

geuen
to

or

By
thys

vpon
hope
to
get

the
gretest
part
of

rustikes
beyng
enflamed
,
it
is
saide

In

,
called
Mulhausen
,
was
a
Thomas
Mynter

preacher
,
called
Thomas
Mynter
.
The

preached
openly
,
that
he
shoulde
restore
the
decayed
state
of
the
churche

and
dyd
boiste
,
that
reuelacions
were
priuely
shewed
him
:
and
that
Gedeons
sword
was
geuen
hym
,
to
roote
out
the
tyranny
of
the
vngodly
.
He
led
forth
by
heapes
the
vplandish
men
,
and
commaunded
the
houses
of
gentlemen
to
bee
spoyled
,
and
the
goodes
of
monasteries
to
be
polled
and
waisted
.
But
when
the
rustical
armies
spoiled
euery
where
without
order
,
the
prince
of
Saxony
and
Landgraue
of
Hesse
destroied
them
.
Thomas
Mynter
and
some
of
his
felowes
were
taken
and
beheaded
,
and
were
punyshed
for
their
enterpryse

and
that
the

should
haue
interpretated
the
kyng
to
be
Ferdinande

But
Ferdinande
should
haue
answered
:
That
he
shoulde
not

it
,

hys
heyres
that

.
Other

rehersed
suche
thynges
of

of

as
I
was

therefore
do
I
now
make
an
ende
of
wrytynge
.
In

this

was
A

a

agayne
certayn

two

When
I

it
was

my
iudgemen
,
&
stretched
his
brandyshynge
tayll
betwene
the
South

But
by
reason
of
the
gloumynge
and
cloudy
ayer
in
these
contreis
,
coulde
it
not
be
sene
here
.
Howbeit
,
who
wil
not
iudge
it
to
be
a
fearfullthing
,
that
two
Cometes
haue
bene
sene
in
the
space
nerehande
of
twelue
monethes
?
and
seyng
the
Comete
of
the
last

,
namely
of
the
yere
M
D.

dyd
not
appeare
without
the

for
it
semed
to

ryght
obserued
and
knowen
.
For
it
can
not
be
that
all
thynges
that
are
done
in
one
realme
,
can
be
written
in
one
boke
,
though
it
were
great
,
by
reason
of
the
sundry
circumstaunces
and
occasions
of
the
businesses
,
the
whiche
must
chefely
be
consydered
.
Of
this
wyse
truely
wrote
Herodotus
,
Theucydi
des
,
Xenophon
&
Titus
Liuius
histories
.
The
other
Writers
of
Histories
.
Cronicles
.
are
onely
to
be
called
Cronicle
writers
,
whiche
also
ought
not
to
take
vpon
them
the
name
of
History
wryters
:
For
they
do
brefely
shewe
thynges
done
,
and
settyng
the
order
of
the
tyme
before
,
seme
onely
to
aduertyse
the
wyse
reader
,
to
marke
some
of
the
notablest
thynges
.
Whiche
thinge
we
haue
done
also
in
this
Cronicle
:
we
haue
only
drawen
those
thinges
as
it
were
in
a
pathwaye
,
whiche
semed
moste
best
,
and
haue
other
whyles
shewed
their
occasions
,
to
the
intent
we
maye
learne
to
marke
and
forse
so
much
thenarower
suche
lyke
thynges
,
in
like
chaunces
,
Howbeit
what
profites
otherwise
besides
this
do
Cronicles
bryng
,
that
same
haue
we
declared
before
in
the
preface
.
Truely
I
muste
before
the
ende
of
this
wryting
put
the
reader
agayne
in
remembraunce
of
the
sayeng
of
Elias
,
the
whiche
we
haue
set
in
the
begynnyng
of
this
treatyse
,
that
he
may
so
much
the
more
easyer
marke
both
the
order
of
the
tyme
,
and
also
the
dedes
of
the
histories
.
Item
that
he
thinke
that
also
,
that
the
ende
of
mens
affaires
is
at
hande
,
accordynge
to
the
sayeng
of
Elias
,
that
the
worldes
age
conteyneth
.vi.
M.
yeares
,
and
that
the
same
space
shall
not
he
fully
expyred
:
for
God
shall
preuent
it
because
of
the
worldes
corrupte
maners
.
Now
seyeng
there
are
expyred
.v.
M.
and
.v.
C.
yeares
sence
the
worlde
beganne
,
as
may
clerely
be
gathered
out
of
the
table
folowing
:
it
is
no
doute
but
that
the
worldes
age
is
nerehand
come
to
the
ende
,
that
Christe
our
lorde
do
rayse
vp
the
death
by
his
commyng
,
and
iudge
the
whole
worlde
,
and
that
more
is
also
appoynt
the
deuels
and
wicked
men
euerlastynge
fyre
,
but
take
the
very
godly
out
of
al
sorow
,
and
set
them
into
the
euerlasting
fruition
of
God
&
blesse
.
Besydes
this
do
the
wonderfull
mutacions
and
chaunges
of
all
kyngdomes
nearehande
wytnesse
that
the
worlds
ende
is
not
farre
of
.
For
with
What
the
mutacions
of
kyngdomes
de
signifye
.
in
fewe
yeares
euen
by
our
remembraunce
we
haue
perceaued
the
hyghnesse
of
the
Romish
byshop
,
Fraunce
,
Hungary
and
Dennemarckes
kingdoms
to
haue
greucously
fallen
,
and
lyke
chaunce
are
shortly
to
be
loked
for
in
other
kyngdomes
also
.
Daniel
witnesseth
that
shortely
after
that
the
Turkes
powers
be
minyshed
,
shall
the
ende
of
all
thynges
of
the
worlde
be
at
hande
.
But
the
Turkysh
kyngdoms
decaye
shall
doutlesse
be
sene
wythin
few
yeares
(
if
Goddes
wyll
be
so
,
)
and
after
that
our
Emperoure
Charles
shal
be
deceassed
,
it
can
not
be
,
but
that
the
empire
also
shal
be
miserably
toren
of
the
Germans
themselues
.
For
I
feare
me
two
wyll
then
greatly
stryue
for
the
monarchye
.
Almighty
God
of
his
infinitie
mercy
,
swage
so
horrible
commotions
&
turne
the
princes
hartes
,
to
concorde
and
peace
.
The
toren
tranquillitie
and
spoiled
peace
in
the
churche
,
maye
also
be
a
signe
and
token
,
and
it
is
to
be
feared
,
lest
the
same
do
also
growe
and
sprede
farther
by
warres
and
negligence
of
Romish
by
shops
.
But
seyeng
Christe
hymselfe
aduertiseth
vs
in
the
Gospel
of
the
perils
,
that
shal
be
at
hande
in
the
latter
dayes
,
not
only
in
those
thinges
that
pertayn
to
the
body
,
but
also
those
that
belong
to
the
sprete
,
yea
the
heauen
itselfe
also
threateneth
with
horryble
darkeninges
and
coniunctions
:
I
wil
passe
ouer
to
speake
of
those
tokens
,
that
be
rehersed
in
the
scripture
concernyng
the
latter
dayes
,
so
that
at
the
last
we
maye
learne
to
beware
&
take
hede
to
our selues
and
doute
not
to
demaunde
and
loke
for
ayde
and
comfort
of
God
onely
in
so
greate
misere
of
al
thinges
.
Wherefore
I
willed
the
reader
to
be
admonyshed
in
this
place
,
to
call
to
remembraunce
,
that
those
tymes
full
of
peryls
&
wretchednesse
,
are
at
hand
,
and
that
the
same
peryls
ought
not
to
be
despised
with
a
rechelesse
mynde
.
For
it
is
no
lyght
thynge
,
and
suche
one
as
all
maner
of
men
do
proue
wyth
their
harme
and
damage
,
that
realmes
are
chaunged
,
empires
pulled
out
of
their
frames
,
and
concorde
of
religion
is
spoyled
.
The
buyldynge
or
fabrike
of
the
worlde
semeth
to
represente
a
greate
and
moste
olde
buyldynge
,
whyche
oftentymes
is
more
and
more
ready
to
fall
,
when
nowe
doth
one
wall
fall
downe
,
then
the
other
.
Likewise
doth
the
world
seme
to
be
ready
to
fal
at
this
time
,
&
doth
by
litle
and
litle
bryng
a
more
greuous
fal
with
it
,
one
and
other
kyngdomes
falling
down
and

.
Nether
let
any
man
thynke
that
so
greate
a
buyldyng
shall
fall
without
a
moste
excedynge
commotion
.
God
lyghten
oure
myndes
,
that
we
beyng
admonyshed
with
the
earnest
threatenynges
of
the
Gospell
,
maye
seke
at
onely
Christe
consolation
and
refreshynge
:
and
that
greate
princes
maye
vse
no
lesse
wysedome
in
the
feare
of
God
,
then
mekenesse
,
to
assuage
the
occasions
of
all
euels
.
For
thereto
are
they
ordeined
of
God
,
that
with
their
care
and
wisedom
,
they
maye
gouerne
and
defende
mankynd
that
is
weake
&
wretched
.
And
yf
they
do
their
duetye
in
the
feare

God
.
God
shall

them
,
and
prosper

that

thynke

also

that

begynnyng
of

,
to
be
vnderstand
from
the

witnesseth

Alexander
and
his

kept

that
the
power

Parthians
beganne

and
Agathias
setteth

that

Afterward
raigned
the

Easte
hundreth

,
vntil
the

of
Alexander
Seuerus

Emperoures

and
then
dyd
Artaxerxes
the
Persian
stick

slaye
Artabanus

last

of
the
Parthians

And
of
this
wyse
came
the
East
kyngdom
agayne
to
the
Perses

were
myghty

For
the
successors
of
Mahomet
inuaded

But
the

toke

thus

the

It
is
greatly
necessary
to
ouerlaye
all

for
there
was
all
the

hoost
appointed
to
assemble
and
come
together
:
&
the
same
assembling
continued
vntil
the
feast
of
saint
Bartholome
we

The
nombere
of
Duche

was
about
foure

thousande
stoute
and
valiaunt
fyghting
men
.
And
of
the
horse
men
there
was
about
.xxiiij.
thousand
.
The
Bohemes
were
in
the
nomber
aboue
twenty
thousande
.
All
these
lay
about
Wyene
by
the
ryuer
called
the
Danube
a
lycle
myle
from
the
towne
,
Their

was
the
right
noble

Frederick

About

also
vpon
a
fifty
thousand
Spanyardes
,
whiche
in
these
affayres
vsed
but
small
kyndnesse
towardes
the
germaynes
.
For
in
their
passage
from
the
Countie
of
Tyroll
ouer
the
Eye
and
the
Danube
into
Austrich
they
burned
certayn
strong
holdes
and
townes
well
inhabited
,
and
some
they
pylled
,
and
with
women
and
maydens
they
wrought
suche
vylanye
and
enormitie
(
whiche
is
horrible
to
be
spoken
)
that
many
of
them
dyed
thorough
their
said
outtragiousnes
.
The
goodly
and
plesaunt
Citie
of
Krembes
was
vtterly
by
them
subuerted
and
brent
vp
except
fourtenne
houses
wyth
certayne
walles
.
After
this
when
they
lacked
vitualles
in
their
campe
for
the
space
of
one
daye
,
they
russhed
with
violence
before
the
Cytie
of
Wyene
,
wherein
the
Emperoure
and
the
kyng
had
theyr
beyng
,
wyth
a
great
nombre
of
other
greate
men
of
armes
and
warriours
whiche
were
come
thether
wyth
them
,
and
would
haue
assaulted
and
ouerrunne
the
same
towne
if
the
Germaynes
had
not
the
sooner
resysted
them
,
and
letted
their
enterpryse
.
In
the
meane
season
the
Turke
layde

to
a

of
the
Turke
by

Guns
,
whiche
lyeth
about
twelue
or
thirtene
myles
from
Wyene
,
in
the
coastes
of
Hungary
,
and
assaulted
the
same
most
fiercely
by
the
space
of
twelue
dayes
,
during
the
which
tyme
he
sought
all
meanes
possyble
to
subuerte
and
ouerthrowe
the
same
.
But
the
right
noble
and
worshypfull
Syr
Nicolas
Iuristhi
knight
and
Ruler
of
the
sayed
towne
dyd
so
manfully
and
valiauntly
behaue
hymselfe
in

affayres
wyth
hys
cytesens

beyng
in

about

,
and
one
hundred
souldiours
whiche
were
layde
there
in
garnison
for
the
sauegarde
of
the
same
towne
that
the
Turke
maruayled
not
a
lyttell
of
it
.
Wherefore
he
promised
vnto
the
sayed
Ruler
fre
passage
and
saulf
conduct
,
and
hauing
personally
himself
talked
with
him
,
did
highly
prayse
him
for
his
constauncy
&
faithfulnes
which
he
had
vsed
towards
his
prince
,
in
that
he
had
so
constantly
resisted
and
repelled
his
aduersary
:
and
after
that
he
had
endued
hym
with
great
giftes
,
he
sent
hym
againe
to
his
owne

Assone

For
thys
cause
Duke
Frederike
chief
Capitayne
toke
vnto
hym
a
certain
nomber
of
launce
knightes
or
Pietons
,
and
a
certayn
nomber
of
heauy
horsemen
with
whome
he
vndertoke
and
attempted
to
smite
the
said
multitude
of
Turkes
,
and
compassed
them
on
euery
syde
,
besydes
the
montaynes
by
a
great
cawssy
and
caused
certain
dubble
souldiours
well
armed
to
folowe
them
at
their
hyles
&
to
barre

,
for
turnyng
backwarde
agayne
of
the
whiche
dubble
souldiours
was
Capitayne
one
Sebastiane
Skartell
of
Ausborongh
,
insomuch
that
the
saied
Turkes
were
first
assayled
with
two
heapes
,
against
whom
they
defended
them selues
stoutely
,
but
yet
they
lost
ther
about
a
thousand
of
their
own
men
,
whereupon
eftsones
they
toke
their
flyght
,
but
as
they
would
haue
fled
out
of
the
mountaines
the
other
heapes
of
our
men
were
in
their
neckes
,
by
whom
also
they
were
all
discomfited
and
slaine
,
so
that
no
Turke
might
escape
.
Some
of
them
they
founde
afterwarde
on
the
mountaynes
and
in
wodes
,
and
some
vpon
trees
,
where
they
were
fled
to
saue
their
lyues
,
amonge
whome
some
were
shot-down
with
gonnes
lyke
byrdes
or
wyldefoule
,
and
some
were
taken
and
deliuered
to
the
Trosse
to
cut
and
mangle
them
at
their
pleasures
,
whiche
were
very
pyteously
chopped
and
carued
of
the
younger
sorte
of
people
.
After
that
this
alarme
was
ceassed
and
qualified
the
Emperoure
and
the
kyng
roade
forth
into
the
campe
of
the
Germaines
,
and
the
Emperoures
maiestie
beholdyng
the
people
as
they
stode
in
aray
maruayled
excidyngly
concernyng
the
nombre
and
multitude
of
them
,
insomuche
it
was
reported
that
he
should
aske
of
duke
Frederick
the
vpper
capitain
whether
suche
an
other
multititude
of
men
might
be
founde
and
assembled
thoroughout
all
Duchelande
,
whereunto
thesaide
Duke
made
aunswere
,
that
it
was
scant
perceyued
in
the
townes
of
Ducheland
that
any
man
there
was
missing
or
lackyng
after
this
(
as
some
do
affyrme
)
there
should
be
taken
a
certayne
truce
and
agrement
with
the
Turke
for
a
certayne
tyme
,
but
how
,
after
what
sorte
and
maner
,
or
on
what
condition
,
this
hangeth
yet
within
the
penne
▪
and
is
lyke
also
there
to
remayne
yet
a
whyle
.
Some
are
of
this
opinion
,
that
the
cause
why
the
Emperoures
maiestie
made
no
haste
to
pursue
after
the
Turke
was
this
,
that
winter
was
at
hand
,
and
that
therefore
the
warriours
were
dismissed
and
sent
away
,
so
that
with
the
saied
innumerable
multitude
of
warriours
littel
good
was
donesauig
that
muche
money
was
vnprofytably
wasted
and
expended
.
Wherfore
I
suppose
after
myne
owne
iudgement
that
in
case
the
Emperours
and
the
kinges
maiestie
had
proceded
and
gone
forward
with
that
armye
or
multytude
whiche
was
there
at
that
tyme
assembled
and
gathered
together
and
had
made
sure
certayne
townes
in
Hungary
which
would
gladly
haue
rendred
and
yelded
themselues
again
,
while
the
Turkes
fled
,
and
had
at
the
going
out
of
winter
be
gonne
agayne
to
seke
the
Turke
at
home
in
his
owne
lande
,
the
Turkysh
tyraunt
woulde
no
more
so
spitefully
plage
vs
in
our
contreis
.
But
thus
wold
God
punysh
vs
yet
longer
for
our
wickednes
,
for
the
whiche
cause
also
God
did
suffre
the
best
coum
sail
to
be
hindred
by
one
man
only
:
for
it
is
thought
,
that
the
Emperours
maiestie
was
by
the
only
counsayl
sayll
of
Anthony
de
Leua
turned
from
the
said
pur

de

sewte
,
so
that
the
Turke
had
a
free
and
sure
passage
home
agayne
into
his
owne
dominions
,
and
remained
vnharmed
in
Hungary
for
somuche
as
he
was
not
there
put
to
any
losse
or
hynderaunce
by
our
men
,
or
on
our
behalf
.
While
these
thynges
were
a
doing
in
Austriche
Andrewe

and
Steirmarke

Andrew
de

chief

went

whiche
citie
he
did
ouercome

expelled

all

But
the

Wherefore

she
woulde

if

,
and
easely
ouercome

Whyle
nowe
the
kyng
&
the
other
in

were
so
foolysh
and
made
not
only
to
beleue
her
,
but
also
to
further
her
in
the
said
affayres
,
trustyng
that
their
deliueraunce
was
at

,
she
went
out
,
and
behaued
her selfe
in

she

But
her
dissimulacion
beyng

she
was
taken
and
brought
before
the
Byshop
,
and
after
her
confession
,
rewarded

to

For
asmuche
nowe
as

saied
craft

bad
no
good
successe
the
Anabaptistes
within
the
citie
ought
to
haue
consydered
that
there
was
no
fortune
in
their
doyng
,
seyng
they
were
yet
oppressed
to
the
vttermost

But
they

vntill
at

when

they

:
Wherein
they
constituted
and
established

to
preache

and

according●y
.
So
that
now
the
Switzers
reposed
againe
their
olde
coastes
which
they
had
in
their
power
many
yeres
before
.
But
there
were
within

,
and

.
Of
this
battaill
of
the
citesens
of
Berren
apeared
a
good
sygne
a
litle
before
,
where
about
.iiij.
hundreth
men
of
Berne

&
other
quarters
of

preuely
beyng
called
together
were
sent

strengthen
the
citie
of
Geneue
,
which
helde
a
notable
battaill
&
conflict
with
the
men
of
Sauoy
.
For
when
they
were
for
lacke
of
victuals
constrained
to
come
forth
out
of
the
mountaines
,
they
were
assaulted
by
their
aduersaries
being
strong
about
.xv.
hundreth
men
,
which
moued
the
said
.iiij.
hundreth
men
to
battaill
&
constrained
them
to
fyght
.
Insomuche
that
they
,
as
hungry
&
faint
as
they
were
layde
so
about
them
&
defended
themselues
in
such
sorte
,
as
they
slew
about
iiij
.
hundreth
of
their
enemies
,
&
put
the
rest
to
flight
,
with
the
hoste
which
was
not
farre
of
being
in
nombre
about
.v.
hundreth
men
:
so
that
they
obtained
a
fre
and
a
sure
passage
to
accomplishe
their
iourney
:
hauing
lost
on
their
side
,
ten
men
,
&
one
woman
which
was
slayne
with
her
sonne
as
she
was
fighting

.
Here
must
I
make
mencion
al
so
of
the
constancie
that
was
in
the
people
of
Berne
▪
in
that
they
coulde
neither
by
power
be
feared
,
nor
yet
by
prayers
and
great
giftes
be
prouoked
to
leaue
the
defence
of
their
confederates
.
For
when
the
Emperour
very
earnestly
offred
them
peace
,
and
attempted
dyuers
and
sundry
wayes
to
brynge
them
to
an
vnitie
,
and
by
threatenynges
and
minaces
to
mollyfie
them
,
they
proceded
neuertheles
to
assiste
their
frendes
and
to
set
them
at
libertie
.
But
when
Fraunces
the
Frenche
kyng
studied
by
many
giftes
to
allure
them
and
by
great
promyses
to
prouoke
them
,
to
assiste
him
in
his
warres
be
gonne
against
th
emperoure
and
the
Dukedome
of
Mylan
,
they
caused
his
imbassadours
and
messengers
to
auoyde
out
of
their
citie
,
declaring
vnto
them
that
the
kyng
ought
to
content
hymselfe
with
the
couenaunt
and
confederation
whiche
he
had
with
them
already
,
that
is
,
that
they
should
not
endamage
hym
.
These
thynges
passed
in
Swicherlande
&
Sauoy
in
the
beginning
of
the
sayd
yere
.
But
the
Frenche
kyng
proceded

A

in

against

the
begynning

yere
began
certayne
preuy
practyses
and
conspiracies
to
be
wrought
agaynst
the
Euangelicall
Princes
and
their
confederates
.
For
the
Pope
sought
all
the
meanes
possible
to
stirre
vp
some
commotion
and
dissention
in
Germany
,
and
had
procured
all
ready
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
Duke
of
Brounswike
called
Henry
the
younger
,
and
brought
to
passe
by
certayne
byshops
,
namely
the
byshippe
of
Mence
with
other
that
the
Duke
George
of
Saxon
shoulde
assiste
the
Duke
of
Brunswyke
with
money
,
to
inuade

the

duke
of
Brunswyke
.
Duke
of
Saxon
and
electour
imperiall
,
and
Philippe
Land
graue
of
Hessene
:
whiche
Practise
and
conspiracy
was
begonne
so
preuely
,
and
kept
so
close
,
that
if
God
had
not
specially
preserued
the
fauoures
of
hys
worde
,
it
myght
haue
turned
them
to
muche
wo
and
trouble
.
For
the
Duke
of
Brunswyke
had
all
ready
assembled
a
competent
nombre
of
men
within
his
lande
,
and
that
so
preuely
,
that
many
dyd
afterwarde
wonder
at
it
.
But
when
he
thought
with
hys
adherentes
that
the
matter
had
bene
sure
,
almyghty

George
out
of
the
way
by
death
,
sodaynely
or
euer
any
man
suspected
hys
infirmitie
.
And
so
succeded
Duke
Henry
into
his
brothers
heritage
,
whiche
had
kept
hys
Court
poorely
many
yeares
at
Fryburgh
in
the
lande
of
Myssene
,
beyng
a
good
laudable
and
Euangelicall
Prince
.
And
albeit
that
Duke
George
brother
to
the
sayed
Duke
Henry
,
was
also
in
his
actes
and
gouernaunce
a
very
wyse
and
circumspecte
Prince
,
and
experte
in
cyuyle
policies
,
as
his
buyldynges
and
townes
which
he
hath
left
behynde
hym
beare
wytnes
,
yet
had
he
this
faulte
,
that
he
(
as
it
happeneth
commonly
to
suche
as
are
worldly
wyse
)
had
his
prudence
and
hipocriticall
conuayaunce
so
blynded
▪
that
he
would
not
cleaue
vnto
the
Gospel
,
where
of
neuertheles
he
was
not
ignoraunt
,
for
none
other
cause
then
that
some
Pope
or
some
Cardinall
had
not
set
it
furth
and
brought
it
to
lyght
,
but
apore
frere
(
as
was
doctor
Luther
)
yea
he
was
suche
an
enemy
to
the
Gospell
that
he
dyd
not
onely
persecute
and
banyshe
hys
subiectes
that
embraced
and
fauoured
the
same
,
but
also
woulde
depriue
his
saied
brother
Henry
of
his
heritage
,
whyle
he
cleaued
sted
fastly
to
Goddes
worde
.
But
God
tourneth
all
thynges
to
the
prophite
of
his
b●leuers
.
For
when
Duke
George
was
in
this
minde
,
&
had
sought
al
meanes
possible
to
disherite
and
dispossesse
his
brother
,
all
was
sodaynely
turned
vpsyde
downe
.
For
after
that
Iohn
his
sonne
was
departed
out
of
this
worlde
leauyng
no
bodely
heyre
behynde
hym
(
in
as
muche
as
it
was
not
well
possyble
for
hym
to
procreate
chyldren
,
beyng
continually
geuen
to
superfluitie
and
dronkennes
)
he
had
yet
an
other
sonne
(
not
being
endued
with
to
muche
witte
)
called
Henry
,
vnto
whome
,
not
withstanding
that
by
the
reason
of
his
●oolysh
behaueour
he
was
vnmete
to
haue
the
rule
&
gouernaunce
of
the
lande
,
he
gaue
hym
a
wyfe
of
a
basse
stocke
and
lowe
degree
,
to
th
ende
that
by
this
meanes
he
myght
(
if
it
were
possible
)
obtayne
an
heire
for
the
lande
,
and
defraude
his
brother
of
his
heritage
,
commaundyng
his
Phisicians
to
geue
his
sayd
Sonne
good
prouisions
whereby
hys
lust
myght
be
the
better
stirred
and
prouoked
towardes
his
wyfe
.
But
what
was
the
ende
?
Thys
hope
and
expectation
continued
but
a
small
tyme
,
for
within
the
space
of
two
monethes
thesaed
yong
maried
man
died
.
Many
wyll
say
and
affirme
that
the
Phisicians
kylled
hym
with
their
confortatiues
:
But
it
was
the
worke
of
God
,
who
would
haue
the
Gospell
to
reigne
in
the
sayed
Duchye
by
the
administracion
of
the
sayed
Duke
Henry
:
For
the
saied
Duke
George
dyed
also
shortely
after
the
deceasse
of
his
saied
sonne
as
before
is
mencioned
.
When
nowe
the
Papistes
were
thus
destitute
of
their
comforte
,
hauyng
lost
all
their
hope
and
expectacion
,
in
that
the
land
and
the
treasures
wherwith
they
intended
and
trusted
to
haue
resysted
the
Gospell
,
was
nowe
fallen
into
the
handes
of
hym
that
would
therewith
auaunce
and
promote
the
same
,
their
capitayne
Duke
Henry
of
Brunswycke
was
faine
to
geue
ouer
and
disperse
his
army
for
the
money
wherwith
the
souldiours
should
haue
bene
paied
was
now
withdrawen
.
Wherfore
(
as
it
was
reported
)
the
saied
Duke
should
say
,
that
he
had
rather
lost
God
in
heauen
,
then
this
man
:
Wherby
euery
Christen
man
may
easely
perceyue
,
wheron
the
hope
of
the
Papistes
is
grounded
.
But
let
vs
learne
here
that
a
Christian
may
not
truste
in
any
man
,
nor
feare
any
mans
threatenyng
nor
yet
dyspayre
in
pouertie
and
tribulation
,
but
must
onely
put
al
his
trust
and
confidence
in
God
,
who
is
able
to
breake
and
ouerthrowe
the
imaginacions
of
the
proude
,
and
to
exalte
the
pore
,
according
to
the
song
of
Mary
,
he
trusteth
downe
the
proude
from
their
seates
,
and
lifteth
vp
the

.
When

had
on

deliuered
his

in

In

Leonora

Syster
to
th

maiestie
prepared
her selfe
very
sumpteously
to
come
towardes
Nice
▪
where
she
commoned
many
wordes
with
her
brother
th
emperours
maiestie
,
abidyng
there
certayne
dayes
.
But
when
the
peace
was
made
and
concluded
,
she
came
the
ther
agayn
,
and
was
receyued
bery
honourable
of
the
Emperours
maiestie
:
And
afterwarde
on
Corpus

day
she
retourned
agayne
,
with
great
solace
.
The
same
daye
at
nyght
the
Pope
and
the
Emperoures
maiestie
toke
shippynge
towardes
Genua
:
Where
the
Emperoures
Counsayls
remained
with
the
kynge
,
and
the
kynges
with
the
Emperour
,
intreating
of
matters
concernyng
the
sayde
peace
.
But
when
the
Emperoure
coulde
not
tary
long
in
Italy
by
the
meanes
of
his
ha●t
whiche
he
made
to
retourne
into
Spayne
,
it
came
to
passe
,
that
both
the
high
Potentates
,
the
Emperoure
and
the
Frenche
kyng
dyd
lonyngly
agree
and
come
together
.
For
when
the
Emperoure
arryued
at
the
Porte
and
Citie
called
,
the
dead
waters
,
lyeng
not
farre
from
Marsilia
,
which
was
the
fourtenne
daye
of
Iuly
,
the
Frenche
kyng
came
thyther
also
with
hys
wyfe
and
with
his
sonnes
.
And
when
the
Emperonr
abode
in
his
Gallee
,
the
king
went
vnto
him
in
his
owne
person
,
&
after
they
had
embraced
and
kissed
eche
other
(
according
to
the
maner
and
custome
of
noble
men
)
they
talked
louyngly
together
.
The
next
daye
folowynge
the
Emperoure
went
a
lande
,
and
rode
into
the
sayde
Citie
,
where
he
was
receyued
of
the
kyng
,
the
Quene
and
the
kyngs
Sonnes
very
ioyfully
.
And
when
muche
honoure
and
greate
triumphe
was
declared
and
shewed
towardes
hym
,
he
abode
there
vntyll
the
tewesdaye
at
nyght
,
and
then
takynghys
leaue
of
the
kynge
and
his
affinitie
,
he
commended
them
to
God
and
returned
to
hys
shyppe
,
wherewith
he
sayled
luckely
towarde
Spayne
,
trusting
assuredly
that
thesaied
peace
should
be
firme
and
stable
,
and
also
durable
to
the
profite
and
furtheraunce
of
the
Christen
common
welth
.
After
this
also
the
lady
Mary
regent
of
the
lower
partes
of
th
emperoures
maiesties
dominions
accompanied
with
the
kynge
came
into
Camerike
the
viij
.
day
of
October
.
And
the
next
day
folowing
they
went
to
the
Citie
of
S.
Quintine
,
where
the
sayed
Quene
Mary
was
receiued
with
great
pompe
,
and
intreated
very
honorably
.
But
when
she
had
remayned
there
.vi.
dayes
she
retourned
again
to
her
owne
dominion
.
So
that
this
yere
there
was
thre
honorable
assembles
of
the
mightiest
in
Europa
:
But
what
folowed
thereof
shal
be
mencioned
her
after
,
in
place
conuement
.
While
these
thynges
were
in
doinge
the
aboue
named
Estates
of
confederation
prepared
their
naures
against
the
Turke
,
and

inuaded

and
ouercame
it
by
violent

,
destroyeng
aboue

hundred
,
and
about
.viij.
hundred
on

,
whiche
were
come
to

But
when

hearde
of

,
he
sayled
out

,
where
he
had
kept
hymself
a

intendyng

of
the
Turke
lyeng
in
the
Coastes
of
Sla
uony
and
Macedony
from
the
assaultes
and
inuasions
of
the
Christianes
.
For
he
feared
least
they
should
be
serued
as
Castell
Noua
was
serued
.
In
the
meane
season
was
also
the
Citie
of
Bisana
ouercome

ta●en
of
our
men
in
lyke
maner
.
But
when
they
lacked
and
prouander
,
they
were
constreined
of
necessitey
to
separate
them selues
,
In
suche
sort
,
as
the
Prince
of
Aurea
wyth
the
shippes
pertayning
to
th
emperoures
Maiestye
was
constrayned
to
runne
into

Lyeng

Legate
into
Ancona
(
which
is
a
port
and
Citie
lyeng
ouer
agaynste

coastes
of
Slauony
)
So
that
onelye
the
Venetianes
remained
and
kept
the
Seas
.
And
as
touchynge
Castello
Nouo
they
dyd
fortifye
it
with
.
foure
thusande
.
spanyardes
&
.
sixe
hundreth
light
horsemen
,
whiche
dailye
put
the
Turke
to
muche
losse
in
the
Lande
of
Bosen
.
When
Barbarossa
had
knoweledge
of
his
seperatyon
and
diuision
of
our
shippes
,
he
toke
his
waye
towardes
Duracho
(
somtime
called
Durachium
,
and
lyeng
in
Albany
which
was
somtime
called
Epyrus
)
to
encourage
th inhabitauntes
of
the
same
Citie
,
and
to
make
them
harty
,
that
he
might
the
better
ouercome
the
Venetianes
in
the
sea
of
Risana
.
But
when
he
sayled
towardes
Duracho

(
accordinge

chaunged
sodaynely
into
a

,
&
blewe
so
outragiously
,
the
Barbarossa
lost
aboue
fyftye
shippes
and
about
a
two

,
with
his

.
After
the

and

when
he
sayled
back
agayne
eastwarde
with
the
remnaunt
of
his

there
came

I
suppose
that

obtayned

For
so
pytyfullye
as
they
made
theyr
petycyon
it
woulde
haue
made
a
stonye
herte
to

:
specially
if

consider
that
yf
they

wythoute

that
then
theyr
aduersity

ther
was

Here
I
must
sett
to
,
new
tidynges
that
are
counted
true
of
many
,
whych
I
take
to
be
a
speeyall
myracle
(
if
it
be
so
)
.
It
is
sayde
,
and
it
is
openly
putt
oute
in
prynte
,
That
the
Emperour
of
Turckye
in
Iune
caused
all
hys
chefe
and
best
learned
priestes
to
come
before
hym
,
and
commaunded
them
vpon
a
great
payne
,
to
tell
hym
,
whyche
is
the
ryght
true
and
best
belefe
vpon

.
And
when
they
had
for

excused
themselues
,
they
had
a
tyme
appoynted
to
remembre
them
,
and
after
were
called
before
hymagayne

Now
when
they
were
agayne

of

theyr
conscyence

and
heard
the
commaundement
of
the
Tyrant
,
they
answered
one
after
another
wyth
one
assent
that
the
Christen
beliefe
is
the
best
,
and
that
it
is
a
ryght
and
a
true
belefe
,
albeit
it
is
very
much
misused
of
the
Christen
.
For
it
teacheth
the
beste
poyntes
that
can
be
,
as
to
wytte
,
loue
toward
God
and
man
,
whych
is
not

And
forther
that
they
haue
wytnesse
in
their
lawe
and
alkorane
,
that
Mahomet
must
go
to
Christ
for
grace
,
&c.
And
that
Christe
is
therefore
better
than
Mahomet
.

And
in

was

acknowledged
openly

wythout

that

All

that

The

And
where
the

came
within
a

of
Carniol
(
for
so
it
is
called
of

)
they
were
assaulted
of
the
kynges
hoste
,
whiche
was
but
litell
stronger
then
th

hoste
.
Wherfore
they
brought
themselues

at

in

,
whence
the

Nowe
when

&
the

there
was
many

vntyll
at
the
last
the
said
Markes
put
furward
the
Spanyardes
,
promising
them
comfortably
to
assiste
them
,
with
the
Italians
and
with
the
horsemen
,
insomuch
that
they
attempted
with
their
armures
and
artillery
to
wade
thorough
the
mudde
and
myre
against
their
enemies
,
whereupon
the
sayde
enemies
stoode

vntyll
they

downe

with

fell
vpon

that
were
entangled
,
&
toke
certaine
horsemen
whiche
had
broken
the
aray
that
was
made
agayn
.
And
vpon
this
they
russhed
among
them
without

.
Nowe
when
the

trusted
that
theyr
superiours
woulde

wyth
the

turned
hys

fled
,
sufferyng
thesayde
poore

to

So
that
in

were
slayne
about

,
among

were
many

of

were
taken

The

whiche
were
well
intreated

as

by

conducted
out
of

,
vntill
they
came
within

of

And
if
the
Swychers
had
not
shewed
them
suche
kyndnes
they
had
bene
all
kylled
of
the
Frenchemen
,
besides
that
they
were
so
taken
&
spoyled

Wherfore

When

myght
brynge

For

whome
the

at

yelded
and
submitted
them selues
into

At
whiche
tyme
the
Landgraue
made
vnto
Duke
Henry
this
sharpe
oration
.
Yf

.
But
I
wyll
vse
my selfe
better
towardes
the
then
thou
hast
deserued
at
my
hande
.
Why
hast
thou
presumed
to
disobeythe
Emperoures
maiestie
,
and
to
refuse
seques●racion
?
For
if
thou
haddest
obeyed
,
thou
shouldest
not
haue
brought
thy selfe
into
thys
trouble
,
neyther
should
so
many
poore
men
haue
bene
endamaged
,
vndone
and
destroyed
.
And
furth
with
he
committed
hym
and
hys
Sonne
to
the
kepynge
of

of
hys
chyef
gentylmen
,
which
toke
them
both
into

custody
.
Whyle
these
thynges
were
a
doyng
betwene
these
two
prynces
,
the
Landgraues

both
on

Nowe
when
the
people
was
qualifyed
and
pacified
the
Landgraue
called
Duke
Henryes
company
before
hym
,
and
required
them
to
sweare
,
that
within
the
space
of
thre
moneths
next
ensuing
they
should
worke
nor
pretende
nothyng
agaynst
the
Euangelicall
confederation
.
Whiche
some
of
them
promysed
without
delay
,
but
the
horsemen
departed
by
heapes
with
open
banners
without
any
othe
or
promyse
made
:
whom
the
Landgraue
pursued
in
haste
,
and
ouertoke
the
next
day
,
wherefore
they
attempted
to
make
resistaunce
,
but
when
they
sawe
that
they
were
ouermached
,
they
layed
downe
their
banners
,
and
made
an
othe
not
to
enterpryse
ought
agaynst
the
sayde
confederacion
within
the

of

.
When
this
was
done
both
the

and
the
sonne
of
Brunswyke
was
with
a
strong

caried
to
Cassell

At

tyme
there
was
heard
suche
a
fearefull
thonderclappe
,
that
the

After
that
,
there
apeared
in

thre
red

,
twoo
of

and
the

In

apeared
a

with
a

agaynst

came
a

Immediately
after
this
came
a
terrible
Dragon
behynde

,
and

When

And

the
.lxij.
yere
of
his
age
.
This
man
so
highly
endued
with
knowledge
from
God
,
was
apointed
and
ordeined
of
our
heauenly
father
to
be
a
minister
and
teacher
of
his
churche
and
a
preacher
of
his
Gospell
,
euen
as
in
al
ages
he
hath
raised
and
ordeined
some
to
be
Prophetes
,
some
to
be
Apostles
,
and
some
to
be
teachers
of
hys
congregacion
.
For
he
opened
and
declared
vnto
the
worlde
(
by
Gods
grace
)
the
necessary
and
holsome
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
and
taught
the
true
repentaunce
and
comfort
of
the
harte
,
whiche
is
feared
with
the
knowledge
of
Goddes
wrath
.
He
hath
godly
set
furth
the
doctrine
of
Paule
,
whiche
saith
:
That
a
man
is
iustified
and
made
ryghteous
by
the
faith
in
Christe
.
He
hath
also
declared
the
difference
betwene
the
Lawe
and
the
Gospel
,
betwene
the
rightousnes
of
the
spirite
,
&
of
the
outward
workes
.
He
brought
to
light
agayne
the
true
worshypping
of
God
,
whiche
had
bene
vnknowen
to
the
moost
parte
of
the
worlde
by
the
space
of
a
thousand
yeres
.
And
brought
the
vniuersall
Church
from
that
fonde
opinion
,
whiche
imagineth
,
that
God
is
worshypped
although
the
minde
of
man
being
suppressed
with
perpetual
doubting
,
abhorreth
to
come
to
god
He
taught
also
howe
we
ought
to
pray
in
faith
&
with
a
good
concience
,
and
ledevs
to
the
only
mediatour
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
▪
whiche
sytteth
at
the
right
hand
of
the
father
euerlastyng
,
and
maketh
intercession
for
vs
:
And
not
to
the
soules
of
dead
men
as
the
vngodly
Papistes
haue
taught
with
fyre
and
fagot
.
He
declared
also
what
good
workes
were
acceptable
to
God
.
He
hath
so
garnisshed
and
establyshed
the
temporal
lawes
and
gouernaunce
,
that
sence
the
Apostles
tyme
it
was
neuer
so
confirmed
by
Scriptures
.
He
dyd
also
abolysh
the
chyldysh
custome
and
ceremonies
of
mans
tradicion
,
whiche
hyndered
true
prayer
,
and
seperated
them
from
the
necessary
workes
.
To
th
yntent
also
that
the
heauenly
doctrine
should
extende
to
hys
posteritie
,
and
that
the
people
whiche
shall
come
after
myght
haue
knowledge
,
he
translated
the
Propheticall
and
Apostolicall
Scriptures
into
Dutch
with
suche
lyght
and
clarite
,
that
the
reder
maye
haue
more
knowledge
thereby
,
then
by
some
mens
expositions
.
He
made
also
many
expositions
,
whiche
do
farre
excell
many
other
,
as
Erasmus
of
Roterdame
witnesseth
in
his
writynges
.
And
as
it
is
writen
of
them
whiche
repayred
Ierusalem
,
that
they
buylded
wyth
one
hande
and
helde
the
swoorde
in
the
other
:
Euen
so
warred
Doctor
Martine
Luter
with
the
enemies
of
the
true
doctrine
and
buylded
neuertheles
the
heauenly
doctrine
.
Besydes
thys
he
dyd
helpe
many
mens
conciences
,
with
good
counsayle
.
And
whylest
a
greate
parte
of
his
doctrine
is
aboue
mans
reason
,
(
as
the
doctrine
of
remission
of
synnes
,
and
of
faith
)
it
must
nedes
be
graunted
that
he
was
taught
of
God
.
In
prayer
for
the
vniuersall
Churche
of
Christe
was
he
very
earnest
and
dilygent
.
He
dyd
also
eueryday
chose
a
certaine
houre
to
recite
certayne
Psalmes
,
wherin
also
he
mixed
his
prayer
with
great
deuotion
.
He
taught
also
that
it
is
not
ynough
to
praye
only
with
the
minde
and
with
sighing
,
but
that
the
maner
&
fourme
of
prayeng
is
prescribed
vnto
vs
by
the
Counsaill
of
God
,
that
the
hartes
by
the
reding
may
be
stirred
,
and
moued
,
yea
that
the
voyce
also
may
knowledge
and
confesse
what
God
we
worshyppe
.
He
was
also
in
the
assault
and
resistaunce
of
the
enemies
of
Gods
truthe
of
a
constant
mynde
and
of
a
bolde
courage
,
neyther
was
he
abasshed
for
their
threatenynges
.
He
was
also
in
difycult
matters
of
a
sharpe
and
hygh
wytte
,
and
well
spoken
,
as
his
famous
do
sufficiently
declare
.
For
asmuche
therefore
as
this
man
was
garnyshed
with
suche
a
great
witte
and
other
godly
vertues
,
and
was
specially
ordeyned
of
God
to
repayre

In
the
moneth
of
Marche
anone
after
that
the
conuocation
at
Raynesburgh
was
ended
,
there
was
an
horrible
act
committed
at
Neweburgh
besides
the
Danube
,
in
the
iurisdiction
of
the
Palatine
,
betwene
two
brethren
being
Spanyardes
,
of
whom
the
one
was
called
Iohn
Diasy
,
well
learned
in
the
Lar●e
,
Greke
and
Hebrue
tonges
,
a
man
that
feared
God
,
and
loued
the
sincere
doctrine
of
Christe
and
his
holy
Gospell
,
and
was
at
that
season
sent
from
Raynesbourgh
by
the
Dysputers
of
the
Gospell
,
wyth
whome
he
had
greate
acquayntaunce
,
towards
Newburgh
,
to
correcte
and
fynyshe
certayne
bookes
to
be
imprinted
.
But
when
his
brother
Alphonse
Diasy
,
a
Doctour
Alphonse
dia
si
a
trayterousmurther
of
the
lawe
and
at
Rome
in
hygh
office
,
a
seruaunt
of
the
Pope
,
and
an
enemy
to
the
Gospell
of
Christe
,
was
come
from
Rome
to
Raynesburgh
,
&
there
had
knowledge
,
that
hys
brother
Iohn
was
at
Newburgh
,
he
hasted
hym selfe
thyther
with
all
spede
,
to
see
his
brother
,
where
he
attempted
in
certayne
dayes
with
many
disputacions
to
drawe
and
turne
hys
brother
from
the
pure
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
to
the
wicked
doctrine
of
the
Pope
wyth
many
checkes
.
But
Iohn
remayned
constaunt
in
the
doctrine
whiche
he
had
learned
and
searched
to
the
bottom
,
and
instructed
his
brother
wyth
inuincible
argumentes
and
testymonyes
of
the
doctrine
out
of
the
Prophetes
and
Apostles
,
in
all
the
Articles
of
the
Christen
fayth
,
endeuouryng
hym selfe
wyth
all
diligence
to
conuerte
hys
brother
to
the
sincere
doctrine
of
Christe
.
When
Alphonse
sawe
the
constauncy
and
perseueraunce
of
hys
brother
,
and
that
he
could
not
resist
nor
confute
his
doctrine
,
nor
yet
bryng
hym
to
the
Popes
way
,
he
dissembled
&
behaued
hym selfe
as
thoug
he
had
gladly
and
earnestly
embraced
the
Euangelicall
doctrine
,
and
gentely
suffered
hys
brothers
charitable
and
Godly
instructions
and
exhortacions
,
abiding
wyth
hym
almoste
thre
dayes
.
In
so
muche
that
he
sayd
vnto
hym
:
whyle
he
sawe
and
perceiued
that
hys
doctrine
of
the
Gospel
was
the
very
sounde
and
true
doctrine
of
God
,
and
knewe
that
there
were
many
honest
men
at
Rome
,
and
also
in
other
cities
and
townes
of
those
parties
whiche
were
very
dysyrous
to
be
instructed
in
the
true
and
sincere
doctrine
of
Christ
so
that
they
lacked
nothyng
but
men
of
good
learnyng
,
that
were
expert
in
settyng
forth
of
the
same
doctrine
accordyngly
:
wherfore
he
besought
hym
of
Brotherly
loue
,
to
goo
with
hym
to
Rome
,
where
he
myght
by
his
godly
doctrine
do
muche
good
,
and
a
dede
acceptable
to
Christe
.
But
what
happened
?
This
good
man
Iohn
Diasy
,
being
symple
and
suspecting
no
gyle
,
suffered
his
brothers
perswasion
to
take
place
,
&
graunted
hym
his
request
,
howbeit
he
wrote
back
vnto
the
Disputers
and
Auditours
of
the
Euangelicall
doctrine
,
desyrynge
to
haue
their
counsayll
in
this
matter
:
who
perceyuyng
the
crafte
and
papisticall
murderysh
harte
of
his
brother
,
gaue
hym
counsayl
not
to
go
to
Rome
with
his
brother
.
Nowe
when
Iohn
Diasius
folewed
their
counsayll
,
and
gaue
hys
brother
an
aunswere
that
he
could
not
at
that
tyme
go
with
hym
to
Rome
,
the
sayde
Alphonse
behaued
himselfe
frendely
towardes
hym
,
and
gaue
hym
certayne
crownes
and
ducates
for
his
farewell
,
takyng
hys
leaue
and
departure
of
his
brother
very
louyngly
and
frendely
,
as
though
he
would
haue
gone
strayghtwaye
towardes
Rome
.
But
within
fewe
dayes
after
,
he
came
to
Newe
burgh
agayne
from
Ausburgh
,
where
he
had
prepared
good
post
horses
to
be
in
a
readynes
to
flee
when
he
should
se
cause
.
And
when
he
came
to
the
sayde
towne
of
Newburgh
early
in
the
mornyng
at
the
openyng
of
the
gates
,
he
taryed
hymselfe
before
the
gate
with
the
horses
,
and
sent
his
seruaunt
(
beyng
a
murtherer
,
whome
he
had
hyred
at
Rome
for
suche
affayres
,
and
brought
hym
forth
with
hym
)
into
the
towne
with
a
lettre
,
who
whan
he
came
to
the
sayde
Iohn
,
delyuered
hym
the
sayde
lettre
,
and
whyle
he
red
the
same
,
the
Murtherer
The
good
doctor
Iohn
Diasy
murthered
.
smote
hym
with
a
greate
sharpe
halbarde
and
cleft
his
hed
in
twayne
,
that
he
fell
downe
dead
,
but
the
Murtherer
ranne
out
of
the
towne
,
to
hys
Maister
,
so
that
both
the
Murtherers
gate
themselues
awaye
.
Whan
thys
horrible
acte
was
knowen
in
the
towne
,
souldiours
were
prepared
and
appoynted
out
of
hande
to
pursue
them
,
whyche
at
last
caught
and
apprehended
bothe
the
sayde
Murtherers
at
Isebredge
,
where
they
were
brought
to
pryson
.
And
although
there
was
muche
suet
made
to
the
Iudges
ordeyned
and
appointed
by
kyng
Ferdinando
and
the
officers
there
,
for
due
punishment
,
by
the
subiectes
of
the
Palatine
,
whiche
had
spent
about
the
same
aboue
foure
hundreth
guidens
,
yet
coulde
they
obtayne
no
iustice
agaynst
the
sayde
Murtherers
.
But
manye
exceptions
were
made
and
propounded
,
namely
that
whyle
the
Brother
was
a
Spanyarde
,
the
matter
ought
not
too
bee
pleated
in
Dutche
language
,
but
in
Spanysh
,
and
before
Spanyshe
Iudges
.
Yea
when
the
Emperoure
came
to
Raynesburgh
he
was
also
moste
humbly
desyred
and
besought
to
se
iustice
ministred
concernyng
the
sayde
matter
.
But
answere
was
made
,
that
whyle
the
offenders
were
taken
within
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
kynges
maiestie
the
Emperours
maiestie
had
nothyng
to
do
with
the
matter
.
But
in
conclusion
thys
was
the
last
sentence
&
Iudgement
geuen
,
that
for
so
muche
as
the
sayde
Iohn
was
an
heretike
,
he
had
deserued
death
:
And
forsomuche
as
his
brother
Alphonsus
was
consecrated
,
and
a
spirituall
persone
,
the
temporall
lawe
had
nothyng
to
do
wyth
hym
,
wherfore
they
were
letten
go
free
,
and
set
at
libertie
.
This
horryble
murther
of
Cayn
was
doubteles
a
forgaine
of
the
detestable
warres
whiche
the
Pope
&
hys
Churche
of

moued

When

to

,
onely
of

without

prepare
a

wherefore
al
men
stode
in

,
not
