THe Lord of Hosts hath blest no Land As he hath blessed ours : Whom n●ither famine , sword nor fire Nor mys●rie deuoures . But in his mercy alwayes still He giues vs blessings store● And doth the hungry euer ●ll , And feede both rich and poore . For wee that know not woes of war Forget the ●oves of peace : But if we once should feele wars stroak Then would our Ioyes decreace , Let men o` Iudgement , ponder well The dangerous State of Armes And the● will w●ae a happy peace More good then 〈◊〉 allarmes . How many kingdomes hath bin spoyld , How many Cittyes sackt ? How many valliant men byn foyld How many ships byn wrackt ? What bloody m●ssakers and Rapes What dismall horride deeds ? The ware hath both vndon and ●e●● Whilst thousand thousands bleeds . And true report to Britaines brings What warlike cruell strife Twixt Denmarke & the Sweauian kings Where thousands lost their life Till mighty Iames our Royall Leidge Did cause the wars to end , And both these foes gaue or'e their seidge And each is others freind . For what the one demanded still The other still denyed : And Kings contention was the cause That many subiects dyed . What Princes speake in heate of blood In feirce consuming wrath And seldome can it be withstood Without their subiects s●ath . The Royall King of Denmark● layd Iust clayme to certaine Land The which the Sweauian King denayd And did his force with stand But after many myseries And deadly dints of wars Our gracious Soueraigne Lord King Iames Did end these bloody Iars .
The second part of the Ioyfull Peace , concluded betweene the King of Denmark● and the King of Sweden , by the meanes of our most worthy Soueraigne , Iames , by the grace of God , King of great Britaine France and Ireland . &c. To tha tune of who list to lead a Soldiers life .
SIxe Articles of consequence , betweene them is agreed : With oathes confirm'd betweene each Prince , to be performed indeed . The which conditions of the peace , in order follow heere : Whereby the cause of all those broyles , to all men may appeare . First that the King of Sweden should , The City Calman yeald : Into the King of Denmarkes hands , ( e're further blood be spil'd . ) UUith all the profits of the same ▪ If he the same would hold Or else to his commodity , The Citty must be sold. That Elsbach , Otland , two great townes , and Mensborch , with the land : And Forces must be all deliuer'd , to mighty Denmarks hand . For twelue yeares space he must inioy , Those Castles Townes and Forts , And now in rest these Princes great , do florish in their Courts . Besides the King of Sweden must , to end 〈◊〉 mighty quarrels : Unto the King o● Denmarke pay , of gold full fifteene barrells . For charges of the foresaid warres , and that their shippes at seas , May p●sse through one anothers bounds , and ne man them displease . That Layland euer shall be free , without all contribution : That Greeneland is the Danish Kings , and giue no restitution . That Denmarks King without all let , foure golden Crownes may beare , Which was the great and greatest cause , he first these warres did reare . Besides some things of smaller note , betwixt them is decreed : And so those mighty Christian Kings , like brothers are agreed . Thus after many bloody fights , and many people slaine : The deadly stroake of dangerous armes , brings blessed peace againe . FINIS .

Those which are desirous to see this matter more at large : I referre to the booke newly come forth according to the Dutch Coppie .
