A
CONTINVATION
of
more
Newes
from
the
PALATINATE
.
AFter
that
defeat
of
the
Archduke
Leopoldus
,
and
his
flight
into
his
owne
Alsatia
,
and
his
iourney
thence
into
Brisgoia
,
to
try
what
forces
hee
could
gather
among
the
Grisons
and
Switzers
,
for
the
reenforcing
of
his
lost
Army
:
The
whole
countrey
thereabouts
,
with
the
Bishopricke
of
Spyres
,
was
left
to
the
deuotion
of
the
King
of
Bohemiah
,
now
by
this
victory
of
Hagenaw
,
made
sole
master
of
the
field
;
whereupon
the
Mansfeldians
made
what
rauage
they
pleased
in
that
delicate
and
most
fruitfull
countrey
:
And
the
Count
Van
Hannow
of
the
lower
Alsatia
(
neighbour
to
Leopoldus
)
taking
into
his
due
consideration
,
that
rule
of
warre
;
When
two
powerfull
Princes
are
either
declared
or
engaged
in
a
warre
,
it
hath
beene
still
obserued
to
be
a
dangerous
thing
,
for
any
third
man
to
stand
as
a
neutrall
,
who
is
not
able
against
either
of
them
to
stand
of
himselfe
:
For
still
the
Victor
when
he
hath
ouerthrowne
the
enemies
,
falls
next
vpon
the
weaker
Neuters
:
So
that
if
the
Victor
has
leisure
afterward
to
prosecute
them
,
it
is
as
safe
almost
,
for
to
haue
beene
a
dependant
on
the
vanquished
,
as
to
haue
beene
onely
a
looker
on
:
whereas
a
third
man
that
is
of
equal
power
to
either
of
the
two
Antagonists
,
shall
be
sure
to
be
solicited
by
either
side
;
First
for
his
assistance
,
and
if
that
bee
denyed
,
then
seeing
hee
pleases
not
to
bee
a
friend
,
that
he
would
not
assist
the
enemy
,
neither
by
suffring
any
of
his
troupes
to
passe
through
his
countrey
,
nor
that
the
Campe
bee
supplyed
with
meat
,
munition
,
Armes
,
&c.
from
him
:
And
hee
may
still
take
his
aduantage
to
chuse
whom
to
side
withall
;
or
after
the
victory
he
may
yet
bee
welcome
to
the
Victor
,
or
remaine
still
a
Neuter
:
whereas
an
inferiour
Prince
,
must
either
come
in
to
the
Victor
or
be
ruined
,
when
hee
that
is
too
strong
for
him
,
purposes
to
make
neutrality
occasion
of
a
quarrell
.
This
consideration
peraduenture
this
Count
Van
Hannow
,
made
vse
of
,
which
made
him
offer
his
seruice
to
the
King
:
who
speedng
well
,
as
being
receiued
both
into
friendship
&
protection
,
yet
so
into
protection
,
&
vpon
such
conditions
,
as
free
Princes
vse
to
accept
a
dependancy
vpon
a
stronger
party
,
that
is
,
not
to
be
made
a
subiect
,
but
an
Allie
and
Confederate
:
Whose
example
hath
beene
such
a
leading
case
to
others
,
that
a
Captaine
of
much
experience
,
good
intelligence
,
and
able
iudgement
in
those
affaires
,
who
(
in
his
letters
from
Manhem
May
.
22.
)
hath
related
this
story
,
infers
thus
much
thereupon
in
his
very
next
syllables
.
And
I
hope
(
saith
he
)
ere
long
of
a
greater
fortune
.
The
18.
of
May
,
they
tooke
in
Buswester
,
next
to
Hagenaw
,
and
in
it
250
Centeries
of
Powder
,
200
of
Match
,
with
some
Bullets
,
a
murthering
peece
,
and
certaine
other
Ordnance
.
Thence
he
went
to
Cotton
and
tooke
that
in
.
Alsatia
thus
left
behind
without
an
enemie
,
and
with
some
friends
in
it
,
comming
neerer
home
towards
the
Palatinate
;
The
King
&
Count
Mansfield
wnet
to
Spyers
the
chiefe
City
(
and
a
faire
one
too
)
in
that
Bishoprike
;
and
besides
that
the
very
chamber
of
the
Empire
,
where
(
by
this
passage
it
seemes
)
they
were
as
safe
,
as
they
had
been
in
Heidlebergh
.
For
thither
came
the
Marques
of
Baden
to
them
,
where
vpon
a
counsell
of
War
it
was
agreed
that
their
two
Armies
should
thus
seuerally
bee
disposed
of
:
That
the
Marquesse
Spiers
being
neere
his
Baden
,
should
a
while
stay
to
secure
those
parts
either
against
a
revolt
,
or
an
enemy
that
should
passe
through
that
way
,
His
Leaguer
(
a
short
one
though
it
were
)
he
was
to
make
at
Gersham
,
and
withall
,
to
block
vp
Eddenham
,
the
only
place
of
the
Bishop
of
Spiers
in
those
parts
,
which
it
seemes
he
did
in
some
7.
or
8.
dayes
;
for
this
agreement
being
made
about
the
12.
the
King
passed
the
Rhine
and
Neckar
with
his
Army
at
Manhem
on
the
20.
And
the
Marquesse
(
hauing
all
sure
at
his
backe
)
passed
the
Rhine
at
Germersheim
the
21.
to
fetch
his
Army
which
yet
was
in
his
owne
Countrey
,
and
about
the
23
or
24.
was
to
passe
to
follow
the
Kings
Army
into
Dermstadt
:
(
of
which
wee
gaue
you
an
Item
in
our
last
newes
printed
the
3.
and
5.
of
Iune
.
)
But
before
we
tell
you
what
hath
there
beene
done
,
will
you
please
to
take
some
of
the
reasons
of
the
invasion
of
this
Country
abroad
before
the
Palatinate
were
cleered
of
enemies
at
home
.
T
is
iudged
,
that
now
this
growing
time
of
the
yeare
any
Warriour
had
rather
liue
vpon
his
enemies
Countrey
,
then
destroy
his
owne
;
Againe
,
for
that
de
Tilly
is
not
first
medled
withall
,
may
be
,
for
that
the
Mansfieldians
,
thinke
it
better
to
fetch
their
victuall
&
provision
out
of
this
rich
and
vntouched
Countrey
,
then
to
lye
starving
in
a
Summer
Leager
,
before
a
full
enemie
.
Againe
,
the
Prince
of
this
Dermstadt
,
though
hee
bee
of
the
house
of
the
Landtgrave
of
Hessen
,
who
is
a
Caluinist
;
yet
is
he
a
Chatholick
,
and
as
some
say
,
a
Bishop
too
,
and
hath
hitherto
furnished
and
befriended
the
enemies
of
the
Palatinate
;
which
they
purpose
by
this
invasion
,
to
disable
him
from
doing
hereafter
.
And
there
,
againe
,
was
the
place
of
meeting
appointed
betweene
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
the
day
prefixed
being
the
26.
of
May
past
(
after
the
old
stile
.
)
The
place
,
vpon
the
River
Mayne
towards
Franckford
,
as
we
before
told
you
.
And
indeed
this
expedition
was
chiefly
intended
to
open
the
passage
for
him
,
and
withall
to
hinder
the
Baron
of
Anhalts
comming
to
Dirlandt
in
Hessen
,
and
so
to
M.
Tilly
:
that
so
by
ioyning
of
3.
faire
Armies
,
the
King
may
bee
at
once
,
absolute
Maister
of
the
field
therabouts
,
and
be
able
to
giue
lawes
to
all
Germanie
if
he
please
:
And
the
Armies
kept
together
,
or
divided
,
according
to
their
best
advantage
.
But
it
seemes
that
the
Duke
hath
something
diverted
his
Armes
to
pursue
other
designes
.
For
about
the
10.
of
May
he
gaue
the
overthrow
to
the
Baron
of
Anhalt
,
and
slew
2000
of
his
men
;
which
battell
,
(
as
the
advice
from
Cullen
written
the
19.
of
May
after
the
old
style
,
sayes
)
was
strooke
neere
Soltkott
betweene
Gezek
and
Paderborn
.
And
next
,
on
the
18.
of
May
he
went
to
Lisfelt
,
where
he
demanded
150000.
dollers
of
the
Cannons
of
the
Abbey
;
and
they
offered
80000
,
but
how
they
sped
,
iudge
you
.
And
by
letters
from
the
Hage
the
20.
of
May
,
it
appeares
he
was
since
againe
at
Hildeshem
,
which
he
hath
reduced
:
And
the
26.
of
May
being
appointed
for
the
meeting
with
the
King
about
Frankford
;
It
seemes
that
some
proiect
of
his
vpon
the
rich
Abbey
of
Fulda
,
which
stands
at
the
Citie
of
Fuld
,
vpon
a
riuer
of
that
name
too
;
which
is
in
Hessen
;
about
the
degrees
,
32.
51.
This
Citie
being
well
watered
,
is
rich
in
pasture
,
and
in
flockes
,
and
especially
their
commoditie
comes
in
by
wooll
;
which
was
the
reason
of
the
planting
of
a
famous
Monastery
there
,
accounted
amongst
the
greatest
and
richest
of
Germanie
;
and
amongst
them
is
the
Duke
;
whether
to
sing
Masse
or
no
,
I
know
not
.
But
at
this
place
he
was
yet
about
the
28.
of
May
,
it
being
some
ten
or
twelue
German
myles
from
Franckfort
the
appointed
place
of
meeting
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
the
King
and
Count
Mansfield
,
(
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
following
within
three
dayes
)
went
on
into
Dermstadt
;
which
iourney
was
rather
a
progresse
of
pleasure
,
(
as
if
the
Army
had
gone
only
to
take
the
ayre
)
then
a
warlike
expedition
;
for
as
they
were
not
medled
withall
in
their
march
,
neither
by
Cordoua
,
who
(
we
told
you
)
had
sent
all
his
horse
to
Tyllye
,
nor
by
Tyllye
himselfe
;
who
lying
to
expect
some
forces
of
Bucquoyes
,
and
Dampiers
old
Regiments
,
thought
himselfe
not
yet
strong
enough
to
disturb
them
,
but
kept
his
leager
about
Heidleberg
:
So
in
the
country
it selfe
they
found
neuer
an
enemy
to
resist
them
;
which
made
the
taking
in
of
the
towne
of
Dermstadt
it selfe
,
rather
a
sport
then
a
siege
.
And
in
the
Castle
was
the
Landtgraue
and
his
sonne
with
him
surprized
at
vnawares
,
for
he
neuer
so
much
as
suspected
an
inuasion
;
either
so
secret
was
that
resolution
of
Spiers
kept
,
or
hee
so
secure
and
negligent
.
But
seing
his
land
full
of
soldiers
:
which
once
discerned
not
to
be
his
owne
,
nor
his
friend
Tillyes
,
hee
offers
an
escape
;
vpon
which
as
if
hee
had
confest
guiltie
,
and
something
withall
vnder
his
owne
hand
being
shewed
against
him
,
he
was
made
prisoner
,
and
brought
to
Manhem
.
This
being
done
as
suddenly
as
hee
did
that
,
who
wrote
veni
,
vidi
,
vici
,
that
is
,
in
some
foure
dayes
;
in
which
time
the
soldiers
would
want
no
victuals
,
there
being
such
store
of
cattle
in
the
countrey
,
that
at
the
citie
of
Franckford
,
(
as
by
letters
from
thence
the
26.
of
May
appeares
)
whither
these
boote-halers
droue
their
pillage
,
a
Calfe
was
sold
for
two
shillings
,
&
a
sheep
for
one
shilling
English
,
&
yet
they
wanted
chapmen
at
that
price
too
;
so
that
the
soldiers
are
very
flush
:
And
vpon
the
25
of
May
many
thousands
of
Ricks
dollars
were
taken
vpon
the
water
at
Ouenbach
,
by
10.
Rijters
or
horsemen
.
And
it
is
reported
that
Count
Mansfield
will
haue
4.
Tunne
of
gold
of
these
cities
hereabouts
,
and
the
Papists
and
the
Iewes
goods
with
vs
in
Franckford
,
are
like
to
pay
for
it
.
The
Mansfieldians
have
taken
here
,
the
Commissioner
for
the
Enemie
,
who
swagger'd
it
vp
&
down
in
his
red
skarffe
,
but
the
red
color
is
now
chang'd
to
Orengetawney
,
and
none
of
the
Bavarians
or
Spaniards
heere
,
dare
shew
their
heads
.
Neither
hath
this
onely
made
an
impression
of
feare
amongst
vs
,
but
the
Citty
and
Countrey
of
Mentz
have
taken
the
affright
also
.
And
thus
,
the
Country
,
Citty
,
Castle
,
and
Landgrave
of
Dermstadt
being
taken
,
and
all
easily
,
and
all
suddenly
:
The
Generall
Mansfield
having
intelligence
,
that
M.
Tilly
had
receiued
those
succours
which
he
lookt
for
,
being
some
7000.
foot
and
800.
horse
,
from
Bohemia
;
and
that
withall
the
Baron
of
Anhalt
with
some
5000.
more
,
of
the
forces
of
Cullen
,
was
come
vp
to
him
,
whereby
his
Army
was
become
24000.
strong
at
the
least
;
and
withall
forecasting
his
purpose
to
possesse
himselfe
of
the
passages
of
best
advantage
,
to
hinder
them
in
their
returne
.
Hee
therefore
through
his
owne
,
and
the
Marquesse
of
Badens
indisposition
of
body
to
fight
(
having
both
beene
for
some
dayes
before
,
sicke
of
the
gowt
)
was
not
so
willing
now
,
as
he
hath
beene
at
other
times
,
to
fly
on
,
and
hazard
a
battell
;
where
the
two
Generalls
were
so
much
disabled
from
giving
personall
directions
:
But
especially
hee
considered
,
that
he
had
something
weakned
his
Army
,
by
putting
in
of
Garrisons
into
those
Townes
which
he
had
lately
taken
in
;
And
that
the
enemie
was
more
in
the
field
then
hee
;
And
that
new
commers
are
still
forward
to
venter
and
put
on
at
first
,
to
get
themselues
honour
and
reputation
;
and
he
had
rather
peradventure
let
their
bravery
and
fury
spend
it selfe
vpon
some
light
skirmishes
with
his
Reare
,
which
he
well
knew
they
would
fall
vpon
;
then
to
force
his
owne
passage
through
the
whole
and
fresh
body
of
their
maine
Battalion
.
Therefore
there
was
this
course
agreed
vpon
;
That
the
Prises
and
Purchases
,
with
all
the
baggage
,
&
luggage
of
the
Army
should
be
sent
home
into
the
Palatinate
aforehand
,
and
that
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
should
goe
before
to
take
the
passage
over
the
river
Mayne
at
Reusburgh
some
Dutch
mile
and
a
halfe
below
Frankford
;
But
the
towne
belonging
to
the
Marquesse
of
Dermstadt
and
hauing
correspondencie
with
Tilly
,
had
assurance
from
him
(
vpon
their
sending
to
him
the
newes
of
Badens
march
thitherward
)
that
hee
would
withall
speed
come
in
to
their
rescue
,
if
the
towne
Garrison
could
but
make
good
the
place
,
some
few
houres
.
So
that
the
townesmen
beeing
confident
of
succours
,
the
Marques
perceiuing
his
passage
that
way
stopt
;
and
that
all
the
Army
could
not
passe
the
River
,
before
the
enemie
would
bee
ready
to
fall
vpon
those
that
were
passing
,
or
not
yet
passed
;
came
off
fairely
,
and
Count
Mansfield
who
kept
the
Reare
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
Army
,
retired
in
good
order
and
leysure
,
as
beeing
before
freed
of
their
Carriages
.
And
yet
neverthelesse
,
the
Vauntgard
of
the
Bavarians
being
come
up
to
the
reare
of
the
Mansfieldians
,
followed
them
,
and
skirmished
with
them
,
almost
two
daies
together
;
In
which
to
confesse
the
truth
,
and
no
more
but
the
truth
;
The
Generall
intending
homewards
,
was
vnwilling
to
turne
faces
about
,
and
to
make
a
stand
with
the
whole
body
of
his
Army
,
(
so
at
once
to
receiue
the
whole
shocke
of
the
battell
vpon
him
)
there
were
some
600.
foot
,
and
60.
horse
of
ours
,
cut
off
;
And
because
I
would
bee
impartiall
,
I
haue
heere
spoken
with
the
most
,
although
those
that
could
wish
them
ten
times
so
many
,
will
peraduenture
at
least
haue
foure
times
so
many
slaine
;
so
partiall
are
many
reporters
,
as
some
haue
not
let
to
giue
out
,
that
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
had
the
defeat
of
15000
,
&
the
Archduke
Leopoldus
they
would
haue
to
loose
but
400.
But
beleeue
it
,
as
I
heare
,
so
I
speake
nothing
vnder
the
number
of
common
souldiers
heere
slaine
:
And
of
Commanders
,
on
the
Kings
side
,
one
Colonell
Gulstein
of
the
Marquesse
of
Badens
was
kild
;
a
Palsgraue
,
and
a
Count
Mansfield
(
of
the
same
house
with
the
Generall
Mansfield
)
are
carried
hence
prisoners
;
which
two
great
names
,
will
no
doubt
make
a
great
noyse
,
being
so
nere
in
title
to
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
Palsgraue
of
the
Rhine
,
&
to
the
Count
Mansfield
General
of
the
Army
.
But
to
enforme
these
men
:
let
them
know
,
that
all
Princes
of
the
Empire
haue
this
priviledge
,
that
their
Paternall
titles
doe
descend
to
all
their
younger
Sonnes
;
although
to
keepe
vp
the
house
,
the
Lands
are
onely
entaylde
to
their
eldest
.
The
rest
,
hauing
for
their
portions
,
either
some
purchased
Lands
,
or
Summes
of
Moneyes
;
and
withall
the
honour
of
Governour
of
some
Countrey
or
State
in
the
Country
;
which
makes
them
still
both
to
bee
employed
and
accounted
of
:
Or
else
,
they
must
make
themselues
vp
a
fortune
by
the
Warres
.
And
thus
there
are
at
once
diuers
Dukes
of
Saxonie
,
diuers
Palsgraues
of
the
Rhine
,
and
diuers
Marquesses
of
Brandenburgh
:
the
chiefe
of
which
3.
great
Families
,
are
distinguished
from
the
second
houses
,
by
the
addition
of
Kurfurst
,
or
Elector
,
put
to
their
stiles
:
And
thus
is
it
possible
(
not
comparatiuely
to
instance
in
any
)
that
these
two
prisoners
should
bee
no
greater
personages
,
then
that
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
whom
after
the
defeat
of
the
Archduke
Leopoldus
,
Colonell
Overtraut
tooke
prisoner
at
Strasburgh
.
On
the
Enemies
party
there
were
many
slaine
too
;
and
amongst
the
rest
,
one
braue
horse
captaine
,
who
being
hemd
in
,
did
with
one
Cornet
of
Horse
,
aduenture
to
charge
through
a
whole
Regiment
of
the
Marquesse
of
Badens
horse
:
where
being
opprest
with
multitude
,
he
was
killed
,
ere
he
could
tell
his
name
;
some
others
are
heere
prisoners
with
vs
too
,
men
of
good
fashion
,
and
the
best
forwardnes
in
the
battell
:
and
this
skirmish
continued
the
29.
and
30.
of
May
.
The
next
day
the
Enemy
proud
of
it
to
haue
had
once
the
better
,
came
on
in
the
heat
of
blood
,
and
in
a
brauado
presented
himselfe
in
Battalia
somtimes
,
and
sometimes
in
some
loose
troopes
flying
vp
and
downe
before
the
Trenches
of
the
Kings
Reare
,
who
had
not
yet
passed
the
Neckar
at
Manhem
bridge
,
but
were
by
the
River
parted
from
the
rest
of
the
Campe
.
And
this
they
did
againe
the
first
of
Iune
;
but
by
their
actions
wee
know
not
whether
they
be
friends
or
enemies
,
for
they
haue
attempted
nothing
vpon
the
kings
Folke
;
who
lye
still
,
either
to
be
ready
to
receiue
them
if
they
haue
the
courage
to
charge
,
or
else
to
waite
vpon
them
whither
soeuer
they
stirre
.
And
thus
haue
wee
described
enough
of
the
expedition
of
Dermstat
,
with
the
aduentures
and
skirmishes
in
the
returne
from
thence
.
The
two
Armies
lie
now
at
the
gaze
one
vpon
another
:
which
it
is
expected
they
will
not
doe
long
:
For
there
will
be
extreme
hot
seruice
if
either
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
shall
come
vp
hither
to
ioyne
with
our
two
Armies
;
or
shall
resolue
to
march
vp
into
Bauaria
:
which
it
seemes
the
two
Princes
on
the
Emperors
side
already
stand
in
doubt
of
:
For
the
Prince
Elector
of
Saxonie
musters
his
troopes
in
Turing
;
and
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
makes
a
Campe
at
Dunawert
;
which
stands
vpon
the
Donaw
or
Danubius
;
and
as
Hondius
Map
sets
it
,
much
about
the
middle
of
the
borders
of
the
vpper
Palatinate
,
Bauaria
and
Wittenberg
.
So
that
if
he
goes
on
,
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
is
likelier
to
haue
neede
of
his
owne
forces
vnder
Mounsieur
Tilly
,
and
to
leaue
Don
Cordoua
and
the
Spaniards
in
the
Palatinate
,
to
the
mercy
of
the
King
of
Bohemiah
.
Or
if
hee
comes
hither
,
the
King
is
absolutely
and
vncontrouleably
,
Master
of
the
Field
.
And
which
of
these
he
next
does
,
the
next
Post
shall
bring
newes
of
.
In
the
meane
time
,
he
enricheth
himselfe
wonderfully
.
The
countrey
about
Eichfield
so
much
feares
him
,
that
they
offered
him
100000.
Dollers
to
spare
it
;
but
hee
askes
a
farre
greater
summe
.
And
thus
is
this
side
of
Germany
,
wholy
embroyled
;
there
being
at
this
time
already
these
Armies
all
at
once
,
and
all
at
this
present
,
in
the
poore
Palatinate
.
First
the
King
himselfe
with
the
General
Mansfields
Forces
.
Then
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
:
both
these
in
the
field
and
ioyned
:
Then
the
Generall
Vere
in
Garrison
of
Hidlebergh
,
Manhem
and
Franckendall
,
and
peraduenture
by
this
time
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
also
come
,
or
a
comming
,
and
all
on
our
side
.
On
the
other
side
;
Don
Cordoua
in
the
Garrisons
;
and
Generall
Tilly
with
his
ould
Army
of
Bauarians
,
and
new
supplies
out
of
Bohemia
,
&
the
Bishop
of
Cullens
Generall
,
the
Baron
of
Anhalt
ioyned
with
him
.
And
the
other
side
of
the
Empire
,
in
much
suspition
of
the
great
preparations
of
Bethlem
Gabor
,
ready
either
to
fall
vpon
Bohemia
,
Austria
,
Bauaria
,
or
some
other
part
or
Prince
of
the
Empire
.
So
that
vnlesse
it
will
please
God
to
giue
good
successe
to
those
pious
endeauours
of
our
gratious
Soueraigne
labouring
for
an
vniuersal
Christian
peace
;
we
shall
peraduenture
shortly
see
,
either
Bauaria
or
some
parts
of
the
Empire
,
as
miserable
as
the
Palatinate
is
at
this
day
.
In
some
letters
May
20.
out
of
the
Palatinate
,
we
had
an
inckling
,
that
Bethlem
Gabor
was
then
almost
in
a
readinesse
,
and
altogether
in
a
resolution
to
come
downe
into
those
parts
.
And
the
22.
of
May
were
letters
written
from
Manhem
againe
,
which
reported
what
they
there
heard
;
that
Bethlem
Gabor
was
said
to
be
with
a
great
Army
marching
towards
Bauaria
;
And
that
the
Count
de
Tourne
(
who
is
on
the
King
of
Bohemiaes
side
)
beganne
to
stirre
on
the
borders
of
Bohemia
;
and
that
Iegerensdorff
Marquesse
of
Brandenburg
,
was
as
forward
as
the
formost
.
Now
that
Bethlem
Gabor
hath
beene
all
this
while
quiet
,
and
now
beginnes
to
bussle
againe
;
These
reasons
haue
beene
giuen
.
The
Turkes
expedition
into
Poland
fayling
of
that
victory
which
they
bragd
of
before
they
won
;
Bethlem
Gabor
,
being
not
supplyed
with
those
forces
from
the
Turkes
and
Tartars
,
which
were
hereupon
drawne
out
of
those
parts
of
Europe
;
and
the
countenance
of
the
Grand
Signior
,
vpon
which
he
something
depended
,
being
by
his
retreat
,
flight
,
or
slaughter
of
his
soldiers
,
lesse
feared
in
Christendome
,
and
in
the
Empire
for
that
time
;
Bethlem
Gabor
was
willinger
to
hearken
to
those
conditions
of
peace
propounded
vnto
him
by
the
Emperor
,
so
that
all
the
time
of
the
treaty
,
while
the
Articles
were
consulted
vpon
,
and
afterward
till
the
time
of
performance
was
expected
,
hee
was
content
to
lay
downe
Armes
.
But
conditions
being
(
as
he
affirmes
)
not
performed
on
the
Emperors
part
,
hee
vnwilling
that
more
time
should
bee
gained
vpon
him
,
resolues
it
seemes
to
fall
vpon
the
Emperor
and
his
friends
on
that
side
,
while
most
of
his
forces
are
embroyled
in
a
tedious
warre
,
on
this
.
But
that
you
may
haue
something
worth
your
obseruation
,
and
may
not
only
see
the
bare
euents
,
but
the
secret
counsels
also
,
of
these
motions
;
wee
haue
here
imparted
to
you
a
prime
peece
of
intelligence
,
from
a
person
resident
with
Bethlem
Gabor
himself
,
for
the
seruice
of
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
written
to
an
English
Gentleman
,
a
friend
of
his
,
in
Germanie
,
and
by
that
Gentleman
himselfe
translated
out
of
the
originall
Dutch
:
whereof
these
following
are
the
very
sillables
.
Concerning
the
Agreement
betwixt
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
Hungarie
,
it
is
past
on
these
conditions
.
THat
the
King
shall
deliuer
ouer
the
Crowne
to
the
States
of
Hungarie
,
which
shall
be
kept
in
the
Castle
of
Trenchshin
,
and
the
King
hath
appointed
six
persons
to
looke
vnto
it
,
three
of
the
States
of
Transiluania
,
and
three
of
Hungaria
:
and
at
the
Dyet
or
Land-day
,
which
is
to
be
held
at
Edenburk
in
Hungarie
the
1.
of
May
,
it
shall
be
resolued
how
the
Crowne
shall
be
disposed
of
.
2.
The
Emperour
shall
consigne
vnto
the
King
for
his
securitie
,
Cassaw
,
the
Castle
of
Gratz
,
Warrakin
,
the
Dukedome
of
Oplin
,
and
Rateboye
in
Silecia
;
and
to
that
purpose
for
performance
are
deputed
certaine
Commissioners
by
the
Emperour
:
but
the
States
of
Silecia
will
by
no
meanes
giue
consent
hereunto
.
The
Emperor
,
they
say
,
hath
promised
them
to
protect
and
defend
them
in
their
priuiledges
,
and
so
hath
no
power
for
to
giue
away
any
of
their
Country
,
being
against
his
owne
promise
.
3.
It
is
likewise
agreed
that
the
Emperor
shall
free
14.
townes
in
Tzips
,
which
he
hath
pawned
to
the
King
of
Poland
;
but
the
King
of
Poland
will
not
giue
way
hereunto
.
4.
It
is
agreed
,
that
the
Emperor
within
one
moneth
,
should
send
to
the
King
of
Hungaria
4.
hundred
thousand
ducats
;
but
the
time
is
already
past
,
and
no
money
come
.
5.
It
is
concluded
,
that
the
Emperour
as
long
as
he
liueth
shall
remaine
King
in
Hungaria
,
and
after
his
death
Bethlem
Gabor
,
and
yet
neuerthelesse
he
also
shall
haue
the
name
and
title
of
King
.
6.
The
King
of
Hungarie
hath
likewise
reserued
to
himselfe
libertie
,
to
acquaint
the
Great
Turke
with
this
agreement
,
betwixt
him
and
the
Emperor
;
and
in
case
that
he
will
not
consent
thereunto
,
but
shall
goe
about
to
attempt
any
matter
of
hostilitie
against
him
for
it
,
the
Emperor
bindeth
himselfe
to
defend
him
,
and
to
send
vnto
him
at
his
requisition
,
as
many
forces
both
of
horse
and
foot
,
ordnance
,
or
other
munition
,
as
shall
be
necessarie
for
his
defence
.
And
the
Turke
is
not
contented
with
this
agreement
;
whereupon
he
hath
sent
to
the
Emperor
a
designation
,
That
is
to
say
,
of
forty
thousand
foote
,
and
fifteene
thousand
horse
,
24.
great
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
and
fiue
hundred
Centeries
of
powder
,
and
ten
thousand
great
bullets
,
which
he
desireth
to
haue
forthwith
for
his
defence
:
but
how
they
will
be
prouided
,
let
the
Emperor
take
care
;
so
that
it
is
impossible
for
the
Emp.
to
hold
any
one
of
all
these
Articles
:
and
that
the
bitternesse
betwixt
him
and
the
Hungarians
is
like
to
be
far
greater
then
euer
.
Moreouer
,
the
Hungarians
haue
taken
an
expresse
resolution
to
visit
the
Emp.
at
Vienna
in
Iune
next
,
and
for
that
purpose
long
for
nothing
more
then
to
see
the
grasse
and
Oates
on
the
ground
,
that
I
beleeue
there
will
nothing
come
of
this
peace
or
agreement
,
which
I
could
likewise
confirme
vnto
you
by
other
arguments
,
which
I
am
forbidden
to
trust
the
feather
withall
,
but
you
shall
shortly
receiue
aduertisements
more
at
large

And
now
(
gentle
Readers
)
for
that
you
haue
bought
what
is
new
,
wee
giue
you
what
is
stale
into
the

;
which
is
two
Letters
,
one
from
an
Ancient
,
and
another
from
a
Gentleman
of
a
Company
;
which
had
they
beene
published
when
they
were
newes
,
would
haue
beene
much
esteemed
of
:
And
for
that
they
agree
together
in
so
many
particulars
,
and
the
Ancient
was
personally
in
the
battels
,
wee
haue
here
exhibited
their
owne
words
;
the
Gentlemen
to
whom
they
were
written
,
can
testifie
that
we
haue
not
mis-reported
them
.
The
Gentlemans
Letter
begins
thus
:
The
King
crossed
the
Rhine
at
Gernsheim
,
with
Count
Mansfields
Army
,
marching
towards
the
Duke
of
Bavarias
Forces
,
then
pilling
and
spoyling
the
Countrey
twixt
Heidleberg
and
Heilbrun
,
the
16.
of
Aprill
they
approacht
and
quartered
nere
the
enemy
,
who
lay
at
Wisflow
.
The
17.
in
the
morning
,
the
enemie
fell
vpon
Obertrauts
Regiment
of
horse
,
and
Colonell
Grayes
Regiment
of
foot
.
The
Alarum
being
giuen
there
,
the
whole
Army
drew
to
their
rescue
;
And
as
they
marched
,
Obertraut
was
commanded
to
quit
his
quarter
,
and
to
set
it
on
fire
;
which
being
done
,
the
King
aduanced
vnder
the
cloud
of
that
smoake
,
with
his
Army
;
whereas
the
enemy
certainly
made
account
he
had
retyred
,
but
contrary
to
their
expectation
he
fell
on
:
Obertrauts
and
Grayes
Regiments
changing
their
retreat
into
a
stout
and
resolute
charge
.
For
halfe
an
houre
there
was
a
doubtfull
fight
,
but
the
fortune
and
valour
of
the
King
exhorting
euery
battalion
to
play
the
men
,
who
answered
him
presently
by
drawing
their
swords
on
the
Enemy
,
who
at
their

The

thus
.
The

The
Gentleman
goes
on
.
About
the
25.
of
April
the
King
left
the
Marquesse
of
Baden
to
confront
the
Enemie
,
and
marched
with
his
Army
through
Heidlebergh
,
and
sate
downe
before

King
Much
about
that
time
Don
Gonsalez
and
Mounsteur
Tilly
rowted
the
Marquesse
of
Badens
Army
but
they
bought
the
victory
deate
,
with
the
losse
of
as
many
men
as
the
Marquesse
lost
;
but
they
tooke
his
Cannon
and
the
m●st
of
his
baggage
.
His
horse
playd
the
lades
,
and
ran
away
without
much
losse
;
which
caused
his
foot
to
lie
close
within
their
Barracadoes
till
night
;
and
vnder
couert
of
the
night
fled
and
gained
a
wood
which
was
not
farre
from
them
;
so
that
the
losse
is
onely
in
his
Cannon
and
Baggage
.
This
taking
in
of
Laudenberg
,
and
the
defeat
of
the
Marquesse
of
Badens
Armie
,
The
Ancient
thus
describes
.
The
25.
of
April
wee
beleaguered
Laudenberg
a
towne
of
the
Kings
that
the
enemie
had
tooke
in
,
and
man'd
it
strongly
,
wee
mounted
ten
pieces
,
and
in
two
daies
and
one
night
,
we
made
a
breach
that
twenty
might
goe
in
a
front
:
they
of
the
towne
would
haue
giuen
it
vp
the
first
day
,
but
the
King
would
giue
them
no
quarter
,
which
made
them
fight
desperatly
,
knowing
no
way
but
death
,
but
the
breach
being
made
,
the
Army
threw
dice
,
and
the
lot
fell
to
the
French
,
who
went
on
so
coldly
that
the
English
and
the
Scots
got
in
the
towne
,
crying
Vilegainee
of
the
other
side
of
the
towne
which
made
the
Garrison
soldiers
in
such
a
maze
that
they
came
running
vpon
the
Pikes
at
the
breach
,
where
were
slaine
more
then
two
hundred
;
many
of
the
Officers
seeing
the
towne
was
won
,
blew
themselues
vp
wi●h
gunpowder
.
And
howsoeuer
the
Kings
mercy
was
such
,
that
after
the
breach
was
entered
he
gaue
faire
quarters
,
which
they
gladly
tooke
,
and
most
of
them
tooke
entertainment
of
the
King
,
many
of
the
chiefe
are
prisoners
for
ransomes
,
Turles
with
his
Army
cut
off
almost
two
Regiments
of
Gonsales
foote
,
which
came
to
Tillyes
rescue
:
But
after
the
same
day
by
negligence
,
and
not
well
encamping
,
Turlach
lost
400.
men
,
and
was
forc'd
to
retreat
,
and
leaue
three
peeces
of
Ordnance
behinde
him
:
but
not
without
the
losse
of
as
many
men
on
the
enemies
side
.
The
Gentleman
goes
on
.
The
First
of
May
,
the
King
rose
from
Laudenberg
,
and
passed
his
Army
ouer
the
Neckar
and
Rhine
here
at
Manheim
,
and
quartered
about
Frankendall
,
Wormbes
,
and
Oppenheim
,
where
hee
lay
still
two
daies
,
whether
to
amuse
the
enemie
or
no
,
I
know
not
.
His
Generall
(
Mansfield
)
is
one
of
the
subtillest
men
in
the
world
.
The
fourth
of
May
hee
rose
againe
and
quartered
about
Germisham
,
marching
Countermount
the
Rhine
,
to
the
releefe
of
Hagenaw
.
The
Antient
confirmes
this
.
There
is
an
Ambassador
come
from
the
Duke
of
Brunswick
,
who
lyeth
beneath
with
a
braue
Armie
;
whereupon
the
King
is
marched
,
leauing
his
Garrisons
well
man'd
,
to
Turlach
,
(
the
Marquesse
)
but
Leopoldus
with
his
Armie
hath
beleaguered
Hagenaw
,
a
braue
strong
towne
of
the
Bishop
of
Spiers
;
which
caused
the
King
to
leaue
all
and
is
now
gone
to
releeue
it
.
And
thus
farre
these
two
Gentlemen
agree
in
their
relations
:
which
wee
impart
to
you
not
for
Newes
,
but
for
certainty
of
a
report
,
whereof
there
haue
beene
so
many
tales
.
