THE
LAST
NEWES
from
BOHEMIA
with
all
the
adioyning
Prouinces
,
that
be
now
vp
in
Armes
.
SIr
,
&c
,
The
newes
in
Germany
is
,
that
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
vnderstanding
of
the
troublesome
state
of
Bohemia
,
and
of
the
adiacent
Prouinces
his
confederates
,
with
a
great
Army
that
he
had
gathered
about
Clandiople
,
made
an
inrode
into
the
higher
Hungaria
,
taking
along
with
him
eighteene
peices
of
great
Ordinance
:
with
this
his
vnexpected
comming
he
presently
obtained
of
the
Nobilitie
,
whom
hee
had
made
afraide
,
and
who
possessed
these
places
,
that
they
should
ioyne
with
him
.
But
he
constrained
Human●ie
(
who
for
a
while
resisted
him
,
yet
not
being
of
sufficient
strength
to
hold
out
,
)
to
depart
into
P●l●●ia
.
Then
for
the
taking
in
of
Cassouie
,
Rede
,
and
Se●s●h
,
Coronels
being
sent
by
Bethlem
Gahor
Prince
of
Transiluania
with
an
Army
,
required
that
the
Captaine
,
who
was
within
the
Citie
Dots
should
be
deliuered
into
their
power
,
this
threatning
being
added
,
that
except
hee
aliue
were
permitted
vnto
them
,
they
would
spare
neither
infants
nor
sucking
babes
.
Who
therefore
receiuing
him
into
their
power
,
disrobed
and
mocked
him
,
and
so
sent
him
into
Transylvania
.
The
Citie
it selfe
when
it
could
not
preuaile
against
this
force
,
and
knew
of
no
helpe
,
vpon
deliberation
had
,
yeelded
vnto
the
forces
of
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
,
taking
an
oath
to
him
and
to
the
States
of
Hungary
,
vpon
the
fift
of
September
,
great
terror
was
throughout
all
Hungary
vpon
this
iourney
and
inrode
,
the
Loilars
and
other
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
because
they
sawe
Monasteries
,
and
whole
Bishoprickes
to
be
inuaded
,
Monkes
and
Canons
to
be
gelded
,
and
great
outrage
euery
where
to
bee
exercised
,
fearing
violence
to
be
offred
vnto
themselues
,
in
great
number
did
withdraw
themselues
out
of
this
Prouince
.
The
Emperour
after
the
Coronation
departing
from
Franckfor●
vpon
the
eight
of
September
,
came
to
Au●burg
vpon
the
eighteenth
of
September
,
and
there
taking
an
oath
set
forward
to
Monach
and
to
Grece
.
Bu●quoy
in
the
meane
space
after
he
had
taken
in
P●ssec
in
Bohemia
,
appointed
to
march
towards
●habor
:
but
being
preuented
by
the
Bohemians
,
hee
pitched
his
Campe
at
Merouits
.
Thether
also
the
Bobemians
followed
him
,
opposing
their
Campe
vnto
his
,
and
obseruing
all
his
endeauours
:
whereupon
sundry
times
they
fought
,
and
when
vpon
the
fourth
of
September
,
a
troupe
of
Spaniards
went
somewhat
too
farre
from
the
Campe
,
they
falling
vpon
the
Bohemians
,
lost
about
fiue
hundred
Souldiers
.
At
what
time
Bucquoy
had
receiued
inteligence
that
Ferdinando
was
elected
Emperour
,
in
the
night
that
followed
the
seuenth
day
of
September
,
he
set
his
Army
in
array
,
thrice
shooting
of
all
his
Ordinance
and
Gunnes
,
in
signe
of
ioy
;
but
the
Bohemians
,
who
were
ignorant
of
this
thing
,
all
the
night
standing
in
battle
aray
,
expected
what
might
befall
.
Both
sides
kept
themselues
within
their
campes
,
vntill
of
a
sudden
Bucquoy
receiued
a
message
from
the
Arch-Duke
Leopold
,
whereby
hee
was
admonished
of
the
vnexpected
entrie
of
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
into
Hungary
,
and
was
commaunded
to
lead
his
Army
into
lower
Austria
,
and
there
to
fortifie
the
castles
and
chiefe
townes
.
But
before
hee
went
out
of
Bohemia
,
he
assaulted
the
castle
Rosenberg
,
pertaining
to
Suanberg
,
and
taking
it
,
sent
away
the
Souldiers
with
bagge
and
baggage
.
A
Garrison
being
put
therein
,
hee
departed
with
his
Army
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
stopped
vp
all
the
passages
whereby
the
Bohemians
might
followe
after
him
,
who
were
constrained
by
going
about
to
goe
to
helpe
the
Morauians
,
after
they
had
heard
of
the
warre
there
.
After
his
departure
the
Bohemians
sent
part
of
their
Army
to
recouer
Bechin
,
which
towne
Bucquoy
had
taken
in
vpon
the
thirteenth
of
August
,
and
by
enforcing
open
a
gate
through
an
engine
,
they
tooke
it
,
the
Garrison
Souldiers
for
the
most
part
being
slaine
,
and
the
Captaine
and
the
Ancient
being
sent
to
Prague
.
After
they
recouered
Thine
by
composition
,
which
towne
Bucquoy
had
taken
in
vpon
the
seuenteenth
of
August
.
On
the
other
side
Tampir
tooke
Lundeburg
with
no
small
losse
of
his
owne
men
.
Affaires
being
framed
at
Cassoue
according
to
the
desire
of
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
,
and
most
of
the
cities
,
for
Myne
being
bound
to
him
by
oath
,
Satch
and
Rede
with
eighteene
thousand
souldiers
strong
,
and
with
two
great
pieces
entred
vpon
all
places
round
about
,
and
also
vpon
Fillec
.
Thence
hee
wrote
to
the
adioyning
cities
,
that
they
should
not
resist
,
but
that
willingly
they
should
admit
the
gouernment
of
the
Transiluanians
,
affirming
that
this
iourney
was
made
with
the
foreknowledge
and
consent
of
the
Christian
States
,
and
threatning
all
extremities
to
those
that
resisted
.
This
Proclamation
being
receiued
,
they
subdued
very
many
cities
and
castles
;
namely
Vaccium
,
Tirnaue
,
Nentre
,
Nouigrade
,
Possing
and
others
,
the
Heiduckes
of
Iarm●th
apprehending
their
owne
Captaine
,
and
deliuering
him
vp
to
their
power
,
with
the
Fort
.
Afterwards
Newhouse
was
taken
in
,
and
the
Gouernour
of
the
Garrison
souldiers
being
bound
in
fetters
,
and
depriued
of
all
his
moueables
,
was
sent
to
Cassoue
:
where
a
little
before
,
namely
vpon
the
first
of
September
the
Transiluanians
triumphed
with
so
great
discharging
of
Ordinance
,
that
the
noyse
thereof
reached
vnto
Comorch
;
which
Fort
,
as
also
Ianrin
haue
abode
constant
in
their
loyaltie
towards
the
Emperour
,
although
the
Transiluanians
had
possessed
the
I
le
,
and
so
had
opened
a
passage
for
themselues
to
other
places
.
When
the
Palatine
P.
Elector
was
certified
of
his
election
made
by
the
States
of
Bohemia
,
hee
iudged
not
rashly
to
aduenture
thereon
,
not
being
ignorant
with
how
great
molestations
,
cares
,
labours
and
daungers
this
dignitie
was
ioyned
,
therefore
he
beganne
to
call
this
businesse
into
deliberation
,
and
to
consult
thereof
with
Princes
and
States
who
were
allied
vnto
him
by
kindred
and
acquaintance
,
and
commaunded
that
publicke
prayer
should
be
made
upon
certaine
dayes
through
his
whole
countrey
.
At
length
hee
being
mooued
with
certaine
reasons
,
thought
it
fit
to
obey
the
will
of
God
and
his
vocation
.
Therefore
the
affaires
in
the
Palatineship
being
set
in
order
,
and
the
politicall
gouernment
being
committed
to
Iohn
Bipont
,
and
matters
of
warre
being
referred
to
Iohn
Nassawe
the
elder
,
with
the
Princesse
,
with
his
children
,
and
with
his
whole
house
hee
went
to
Amberg
.
They
of
Brussles
were
saide
about
this
time
to
be
entred
into
sedition
,
because
of
exactions
,
and
of
publicke
impositions
:
but
the
multitudes
of
Spanish
souldiers
gathering
head
quieted
them
.
Bucquoy
vpon
his
forsaking
of
Bohemia
,
tooke
in
Horne
a
towne
of
lower
Austria
,
and
placed
a
Garrison
therein
:
but
after
obseruing
that
it
could
not
bee
retained
,
the
Garrison
being
called
away
,
vpon
the
fift
of
October
hee
came
to
Ret●
,
and
after
to
Sname
a
towne
in
Morauia
,
with
nine
thousand
horse
and
foote
,
and
presently
with
great
importunitie
demanded
that
their
towne
should
bee
deliuered
vp
.
But
when
the
Garrison
,
these
threatnings
being
neglected
,
prepared
for
defence
,
and
knewe
that
twelue
thousand
Hungarians
and
Transiluanians
were
ready
at
hand
,
hee
raised
the
Campe
and
departed
,
to
ioyne
himselfe
with
Tampier
.
In
the
meane
space
the
Transiluanians
drew
neare
,
and
ioyned
themselues
with
the
Bohemian
and
Morauian
Campe
.
This
beeing
knowne
,
some
ensignes
of
the
Hungarians
who
were
vnder
Tampier
,
leauing
his
Campe
reuoulted
to
the
Transiluanians
.
When
therefore
Turren
sawe
that
his
Army
was
augmented
with
the
Hungarians
and
Transiluanians
to
be
about
twentie
sixe
thousand
,
vpon
deliberation
with
Rede
hee
determined
to
meete
and
to
fight
with
Bucquoy
and
Tampier
.
But
for
to
try
their
strength
Tampier
sent
foorth
three
Companies
,
which
for
the
most
part
were
slaine
by
the
Hungarians
.
Whereupon
Bucquoy
seeing
himselfe
too
weake
,
the
former
station
being
left
,
pitched
his
campe
at
the
outer
bridge
of
Danow
,
whither
Leopold
the
Arch-Duke
came
from
Vienna
to
view
the
Army
.
But
the
enemy
with
great
fury
pursuing
the
rereward
put
to
flight
,
fiue
hundred
of
the
Tampiers
company
.
But
presently
the
Bohemians
comming
forward
,
and
the
Mountaine
and
the
next
Wood
being
possessed
,
they
drew
nearer
and
nearer
towards
them
.
Leopold
preswaded
Buequoy
to
fight
,
and
to
try
the
very
extremity
:
but
he
refusing
the
counsell
that
was
ioyned
with
very
great
perill
,
kept
himselfe
in
the
campe
:
but
yet
the
Archduke
being
returned
into
the
cittie
,
the
Battle
beganne
about
euening
,
and
was
continued
vntill
about
midnight
,
the
Artilerie
on
both
sides
being
discharged
,
with
no
small
losse
vpon
both
sides
.
The
next
day
,
when
for
a
thicke
mist
they
could
not
looke
about
,
and
when
they
thought
that
the
Bohemians
were
retired
,
to
passe
ouer
Danow
at
Fischet
,
and
with
their
campe
to
possesse
the
other
side
of
the
Riuer
,
Bucquoy
sent
his
Souldiers
to
stop
that
passage
.
But
after
the
mist
breaking
vp
,
when
they
who
were
in
the
Vauntgard
had
already
gotten
ouer
the
Bridge
with
many
Gunnes
,
and
the
Rereward
was
yet
in
the
campe
at
the
Bridge
,
the
Bohemians
in
great
number
comming
vpon
them
,
endeauoured
to
take
the
bridge
from
them
.
Whereupon
a
great
fight
was
made
,
and
a
great
company
on
both
sides
were
slaine
with
the
often
shooting
of
Gunnes
.
The
greatest
losse
fell
out
in
the
campe
of
Bucquoy
,
three
barrels
of
Gunpowder
being
fired
by
negligence
of
souldiers
,
which
not
onely
killed
many
but
caused
those
that
were
scorched
in
quenching
the
fire
,
to
bee
drowned
in
Danow
.
Bucquoy
,
Dampier
,
and
other
captaines
diligently
encouraged
their
souldiers
to
fight
,
and
sustained
the
Enemy
vntill
night
,
which
comming
on
,
when
they
saw
that
the
fort
raised
before
the
Bridge
was
assaulted
,
with
great
courage
they
tooke
thence
the
Garrison
,
ouerthrew
the
bridge
,
and
so
betooke
themselues
to
rest
.
Whilest
the
skirmish
lasted
,
the
Hungarians
that
yet
remained
in
the
campe
of
Dampier
,
the
carriages
which
they
were
set
to
keepe
,
being
ranfacked
and
fired
betook
themselues
to
flight
.
The
number
that
were
slaine
was
vncertaine
,
for
the
wounded
the
next
day
in
many
waines
were
carried
to
Vienna
,
who
afterwards
dyed
in
great
number
.
Bucquoy
himselfe
was
wounded
in
the
arme
with
a
bullet
,
and
his
chiefe
Colonel
was
wounded
thrice
,
but
dyed
not
.
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
,
in
the
meane
space
with
a
great
army
that
he
conducted
went
towards
Poson
,
and
tooke
the
Castle
of
Petronel
by
force
,
which
he
rased
.
This
rumour
comming
to
Vienna
,
three
companies
of
Souldiers
with
three
brazen
pieces
being
shipped
were
sent
into
Poson
,
and
entred
into
the
suburbs
vpon
the
thirteenth
of
October
.
This
night
was
very
tempestuous
,
therefore
the
Trans●iuanians
,
preassed
vpon
them
fearing
no
such
thing
,
and
put
to
flight
a
great
part
of
these
souldiers
,
their
captaine
T●esenbach
with
a
fewe
escaping
by
flight
.
The
Suburb
being
taken
,
Bethlem
Gaber
Prince
of
Transiluania
commaunded
the
Prince
Palatine
to
answere
him
,
whether
hee
would
defend
the
citie
and
the
castle
,
or
that
he
should
yeelde
without
force
,
certaine
dayes
being
permitted
for
deliberation
,
who
taking
aduice
with
Palse
and
with
others
of
the
Nobilitie
,
when
hee
could
doe
none
other
,
determined
to
yeelde
.
Therefore
the
citie
being
taken
in
,
the
Prince
of
Transiluania
commanded
that
a
Sermon
should
bee
made
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
vpon
the
twenty
of
October
,
and
thence
passing
into
the
castle
viewed
the
Crowne
of
Hungary
,
and
the
other
ornaments
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
returning
into
the
citie
entertained
the
Prince
Palatine
and
other
Nobles
to
dinner
.
In
the
meane
space
the
Palatine
P.
Elector
the
elected
K.
of
Bohemia
departing
from
Amberg
came
to
Waltsachs
,
where
the
Embassadors
of
the
Prouinces
vnited
into
Bohemia
,
met
him
,
with
eighteene
coaches
:
thence
they
went
to
Egra
,
thence
to
Falquenaue
and
to
Sant
,
and
so
to
other
places
with
the
gratulation
and
ioy
of
all
citizens
,
vntill
at
length
he
came
to
Prague
,
into
which
he
entred
with
very
great
pompe
,
and
a
little
after
was
present
in
their
Parleament
.
Ernest
Count
Mansfield
that
he
might
recouer
places
taken
in
by
Bucquoy
,
vpon
the
three
and
twentith
of
October
went
with
his
Souldiers
to
Winterburg
,
and
presently
a
Fort
and
the
chappell
being
taken
that
was
builded
vnder
the
castle
,
he
exhorted
the
Captaine
to
yeelde
,
and
when
hee
saide
hee
would
rather
loose
his
life
then
gratifie
his
enemy
:
the
Count
battering
the
gate
entred
,
and
slewe
all
the
Garrison
,
except
a
fewe
Prisoners
.
This
being
done
,
other
townes
and
places
yeelded
of
their
owne
accord
,
their
garrisons
passing
to
Budwitz
.
Thence
the
Count
going
to
Pragadit
,
and
finding
the
garrison
to
resist
,
with
great
violence
tooke
the
towne
and
slewe
them
all
vpon
the
twenty
foure
of
October
.
Herman
Frence
,
a
garrison
being
left
in
Thabor
,
went
with
his
Army
towards
Wodian
,
and
knowing
that
the
captaine
of
this
towne
was
not
furnished
with
a
sufficient
guard
,
and
that
two
Noble
men
of
Bohemia
,
who
had
hitherto
serued
vnder
the
Emperour
,
were
gone
into
this
towne
,
all
passages
being
besieged
,
tooke
order
to
beate
all
the
souldiers
from
the
towers
and
walles
,
and
to
burst
open
a
gate
;
but
throgh
valiant
resistance
of
the
garrison
could
doe
no
good
,
vntill
the
next
day
a
Trumpetour
being
sent
,
the
Captaine
couenanted
to
depart
:
which
Frence
willingly
permitted
;
yet
so
that
they
should
deliuer
the
two
Noble-men
,
who
,
the
towne
being
taken
in
,
were
carried
and
put
into
the
tower
at
Prage
:
where
in
the
meane
season
Fredericke
P.
Elector
Palatine
was
crowned
King
of
Bohemia
,
in
Nouember
:
and
in
the
same
moneth
Elizabeth
his
wife
,
Princesse
of
Great
Britain
was
crowned
Queene
.
At
this
time
in
France
Conac
was
set
at
libertie
,
and
some
perswaded
,
that
neither
side
of
the
Germans
was
to
be
holpen
,
because
France
had
receiued
no
small
profit
from
the
Princes
thereof
.
Great
calamity
did
now
also
oppresse
lower
Austria
,
the
souldiers
on
euery
side
meeting
there
,
and
wonderfully
exasperating
this
mischiefe
,
but
the
inhabitants
in
great-number
with
their
wiues
and
children
fled
to
other
places
.
At
Vienna
the
souldiers
of
Bucquoy
,
and
of
Dampier
,
wasted
the
villages
and
other
townes
,
that
no
profit
might
thence
redound
to
the
enemy
,
insomuch
that
victuals
encreased
still
their
price
at
Vienna
;
furthermore
from
higher
Austria
an
Army
was
sent
vnder
the
Generall
Sterenberg
,
who
preserued
passage
to
both
the
bankes
of
Danow
,
by
wasting
and
taking
in
the
villages
and
townes
that
appertained
to
the
Catholickes
:
but
they
commaunding
the
Monastery
of
Molque
to
yeelde
,
and
not
being
obeyed
fired
the
towne
,
and
assaulted
the
castle
,
vntill
they
were
hindered
by
fowle
weather
.
Bucquoy
and
Dampier
vnderstanding
that
the
Hungarians
at
Poson
,
passing
ouer
Danow
had
put
to
flight
Hainburg
the
Coronell
in
open
warre
,
thought
fit
to
succour
him
with
some
certaine
thousands
,
and
with
sixe
hundred
barded
horse
.
Therefore
they
ioyning
battle
,
many
were
slaine
on
both
sides
,
and
Bucquoy
was
stricken
on
his
Armour
with
a
short
sword
,
and
very
many
were
wounded
,
who
were
afterwards
carried
to
Vienna
:
but
a
thousand
and
six
hundred
of
the
troopes
of
Bucquoy
passed
away
to
the
Hungarians
their
countrey-men
.
Vpon
the
moneth
of
Nouember
the
Protestants
assembled
a
Parlement
at
Norimberg
,
where
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
and
many
other
great
Princes
met
,
and
gaue
answere
to
the
Embassadours
of
the
Emperour
:
who
,
vpon
the
twenty
foure
of
Nouember
came
from
Greatz
to
Vienna
,
where
hee
was
entertained
by
Leopold
the
Arch-Duke
.
Capisan
a
certaine
Captaine
of
the
Bohemian
forces
comming
with
foure
thousand
to
Creames
,
opened
one
gate
with
Artillery
,
and
the
other
with
fire
:
but
yet
could
not
take
the
citie
because
of
the
Port-cullis
:
not
onely
the
souldiers
,
but
also
the
women
powred
scalding
liquor
,
and
pitch-barrels
vpon
their
heads
,
so
that
they
were
constrained
to
retire
with
the
losse
of
some
two
hundred
.
After
this
there
came
from
Millain
ouer
the
Alpes
through
Heluetia
into
the
Bishopricke
of
Passawe
,
about
eight
thousand
souldiers
strong
,
and
markes
of
greatest
crueltie
being
left
there
,
when
they
could
not
passe
into
higher
Austria
,
because
that
all
the
passages
were
stopped
by
the
countrey
people
,
some
of
them
passed
towards
Budwitz
in
Bohemia
,
vnder
Coronell
Balthasar
.
The
Emperour
being
come
into
Vienna
,
the
Hungarians
and
Bohemians
in
great
number
marched
towards
Nischet
,
and
thence
towards
Vienna
by
Ebersdorfe
,
which
they
tooke
in
,
sending
the
garrison
to
Vienna
,
and
so
spoiled
all
the
villages
and
townes
,
not
without
great
slaughter
.
Thereupon
the
countrey
people
in
great
companies
came
into
Vienna
,
and
made
victuals
exceeding
deare
.
Turren
and
Bethlem
Gaber
,
Prince
of
Transyluania
,
who
had
besieged
the
citie
,
affirming
for
certain
,
that
if
the
consorts
of
their
Religion
had
not
beene
therein
,
they
would
haue
constrained
them
to
haue
yeelded
through
famine
.
In
the
meane
space
Humanoie
with
eight
thousand
Polonians
to
trie
his
destinie
,
made
an
inrode
into
Hungary
:
but
by
Ragots
,
whom
the
Prince
of
Transiluania
had
left
at
Cassoue
,
he
being
subdued
lost
a
company
of
his
souldiers
.
Thereupon
ioyning
forces
with
Radulen
,
and
Count
Althem
,
hauing
ten
thousand
souldiers
,
hee
againe
marched
against
him
.
A
great
battle
being
fought
and
continued
all
night
long
,
some
three
thousand
were
slaine
vpon
both
sides
.
Then
the
Polonians
departing
and
counterfeiting
flight
,
presently
the
Hungarian
foote
fell
vpon
the
spoile
:
but
they
were
for
the
most
part
slaine
by
the
Polonians
,
who
returned
againe
,
and
the
Hungarian
horse
fled
.
Ragots
escaping
by
flight
,
sought
to
repaire
his
Army
.
Neuerthelesse
the
Prince
of
Transiluania
vnderstanding
of
this
slaughter
,
ceased
to
besiege
Vienna
(
Rede
being
sent
with
part
of
the
Army
into
vpper
Hungarie
,
)
and
returned
to
Poson
,
Edenburg
being
by
composition
taken
in
,
and
fortified
with
a
Garrison
of
foure
hundred
souldiers
.
Also
Count
Mansfield
tooke
in
Pessec
,
the
garrison
being
sent
away
with
their
Armes
;
but
the
Captaine
,
who
was
a
Spaniard
,
and
valiantly
had
sustained
the
siege
by
the
space
of
a
moneth
:
was
carried
to
Pilsne
,
and
the
towne
that
was
made
desolate
by
the
imperials
,
was
repaired
and
fortified
with
a
stronger
garrison
.
In
the

December
a
great
gaping

in
the
skie
,
in

,
the
Kings
Chaplaine
making
a
Sermon
,
and
laying
downe

cause
of

businesse
amongst
others
,
because
the
King
could
no
longer
for
his
conscience
beare
Idolatrie
in
his
sight
.
Also
the
King
vpon
inquisition
made

corners
of
Rogues
and
of

,
commanded
the

for
which
cause
,
congratulation
was
made
by
the
Officers

.
On

,
no

was
decreed
to
the
Emperour
by

Bucquoy
making

Austria
,
tooke
Ipsen
,
a

But
before

,
Sterenberg
,
the
chiefe
Generall
of
this
prouince
(
the
fiedge
of
the
Monastery
Molque
being
raised
)
returned
to
the
limits
with
his
Army
,
to
wait
for
the
comming
of
Bucquoy
.
In
the
meane
season
,
the
countrie
people
led
with
the
zeale
of
Religion
,
killed
and
put
to
flight
the
Italians
that
remained
of
the
army
of

,
who
made
inroades
from

But
Carpezan
a
Colonell
of
the
Bohemians
tooke
and
rased
Gotvien
,
the
most
strong
Monastery
of
Lower
Austria
.
Hitherto
a
great
number
of
Horse
and
Foote
was
gathered
for
the
Emperour
,
and
for
the
prince
of
Bauaria
,
in
the
Territories
of
Colen
,
and
in
the
adioyning
countries
.
For
the
hindring
of
these
expeditions
,
the
States
of
the
vnited
prouinces
of
the
Low
Countries
;
writing
once
or
twice
to
the
Electors
of
Colen
and
Triers
,
exhorted
them
largely
to
maintaine
the
league
,
and
not
to
permit
any
thing
to
be
done
against
their
confederates
;
but
most
especially
,
not
against
the
prince
Palatine
Elector
,
except
they
would
haue
the
same
to
be
also
done
in
their
prouinces
.
Part
of
this
Army
set
forward
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Count
Liopien
,
and
of
the
Colonel
Lantsb●rger
,
who
when
they
could
not
obtaine
passage
through
Hassta
,
and
through
the
countie
of
Nassawe
,
they
iourning
through
Vererave
passed
into
Franconia
,
and
there
with
great
discommodity
of
the
Herbipolensians
,
because
the
Army
of
the
vnited
Princes
&
States
opposed
;
they
were
constrained
to
abide
there
some
certaine
weeks
.
They
were
about
foure
thousand
,
whom
,
so
many
others
followed
a
little
after
.
But
the
Isenburgensians
,
and
the
Hanouians
opposing
,
and
not
willing
in
any
sort
to
permit
passage
,
they
were
constrained
to
returne
the
way
that
they
came
,
and
in
very
cold
weather
to
passe
ouer
the
Rhine
.
But
the
prince
of
Bauaria
being
certisied
of
the
deniall
of
passage
,
presently
sent
Embassadours
,
who
agreed
vpon
certaine
articles
for
passage
.
Which
agreement
being
made
,
the
Army
passed
to
the
Bishoprike
of
Achstelin
,
and
there
abode
certaine
daies
,
with
great
losse
of
the
inhabitants
.
In
the
meane
space
a
league
was
concluded
betwixt
the
Emperor
and
Bethlem
Gaber
prince
of
Transiluanta
,
vntill
the
feast
of
Saint
Michael
,
1620.
About
this
time
Tifenbach
the
Colonel
of
the
Mor●uian
forces
comming
with
his
army
to
Nicolaisburg
,
obtained
the
Towne
without
any
great
labour
,
but
sixe
hundred
Dampirians
defended
most
valiently
the
Castle
,
notwithstanding
at
length
when
they
had
repelled
the
assailants
at
certaine
times
,
and
had
slaine
about
two
hundred
,
and
saw
that
Ti●enbach
endeauoured
to
enter
,
by
mounting
against
them
thirteene
great
Gunnes
:
they
being
destitute
of
powder
and
of
other
things
,
requested
palee
,
and
couenanted
with
bag
and
baggage
to
depart
,
except
they
were
relieued
within
three
daies
,
Count
Nagrol
with
three
others
,
being
in
the
meane
space
left
in
the
Campe
for
pledges
.
When
therefore
,
for
the
bridge
cast
downe
in
Dan●w
,
they
could
not
receiue
aide
from
Dampier
;
the
time
being
expired
,
they
yeelded
vp
the
Castle
,
wherein
besides
much
Wine
and
corne
,
there
were
found
eight
and
thirty
great
pieces
of
Ordinance
,
and
moueables
belonging
to
Cardinall
Ditrichstein
,
and
a
great
booty
that
had
been
taken
by
Dampier
.
In
the
former
yeare
,
a
grieuous
contention
did
arise
betwixt
two
Noblemen
of
Bohemia
;
namely
,
betwixt
Henrie
Slavat
and
Wartenberg
,
about
the
deceased
Baron
of
Smirsiscen
.
For
he
dying
without
an
Heire
,
being
vnmarried
,
left
two
Sisters
,
and
the
one
that
married
to
Slavat
entred
as
sole
Heiresse
,
but
Wartenb●●g
entring
the
castle
,
freed
the
other
sister
long
detained
in
prison
,
and
maried
her
,
and
entring
vpon
the
possession
of
the
castle
and
towne
,
bound
the
sabiects
to
him
with
an
oath
.
This
vexed
Slauat
,
and
therefore
he
framed
his
action
against
him
:
who
being
called
to
Prague
appeared
there
,
and
put
in
securitie
.
But
the
K.
of
Bohemia
send
Commissaries
,
who
should
comprimise
the
case
concerning
the
town
and
the
castle
.
But
it
came
to
passe
whiles
these
Commissaries
were
deciding
the
controuersie
for
Slauat
,
and
had
commaunded
the
wife
of
Wartenberg
to
depart
from
the
towne
and
castle
,
and
to
restore
them
to
Slauat
,
shee
being
enflamed
with
furie
animated
the
souldiers
,
which
shee
had
there
to
defend
the
castle
.
Therefore
one
of
them
entred
into
the
chamber
,
wherein
many
barrels
of
Gun-powder
were
layed
vp
,
and
carelesly
moouing
a
match
neare
to
the
powder
,
set
the
same
on
fire
,
and
blew
vp
the
whole
castle
with
all
that
were
therein
.
Who
were
all
the
Commissaries
with
their
seruants
and
other
attendants
,
about
threescore
,
and
also
the
contending
parties
;
Namely
Slauata
,
and
the
wife
of
Wartenberg
,
with
the
women
,
seruants
and
souldiers
which
they
had
with
them
,
besides
other
hurt
that
it
did
in
the
towne
.
The
King
of
Bo●emia
in
February
came
to
Brinna
,
and
was
receiued
by
the
States
with
great
pompe
:
where
he
tooke
the
oath
of
loyaltie
from
the
States
,
and
confirmed
all
priuiledges
vnto
them
,
and
so
set
forward
into
Silesia
.
Hee
being
scarce
departed
,
the
Cosacces
about
foure
thousand
comming
from
Poland
made
inrodes
into
Morauia
:
but
not
long
tarrying
there
,
their
iourney
beeing
continued
night
and
day
,
and
guides
being
sent
before
who
had
knowledge
of
the
places
,
the
bridges
being
alwayes
ouerthrowne
which
they
had
passed
,
lest
any
should
follow
at
their
backes
.
In
their
iourney
they
ransacked
many
townes
and
villages
,
and
amongst
them
Mescrit
,
wherein
at
that
very
time
a
marriage
of
a
certaine
Noble-man
was
celebrated
,
and
they
tooke
a
great
bootie
and
braue
apparell
,
which
afterwards
they
sold
for
a
litle
at
Vienna
.
The
horsemen
of
Morauia
followed
them
somewhat
too
late
:
but
yet
about
midnight
ouerthrew
them
neare
to
the
banke
of
Danow
,
vpon
the
tenth
of
February
,
and
distressed
about
a
thousand
of
them
,
the
residue
with
admiration
of
all
men
swimming
through
Danow
,
and
all
ouer
wet
entring
into
Vienna
,
where
lodging
was
assigned
to
them
in
the
Suburbs
.
These
souldiers
afterwards
making
inrodes
into
lower
Austria
,
made
all
places
dangerous
,
spoiled
some
fiftie
villages
of
the
Protestants
,
and
caused
that
the
countrey
people
in
great
number
with
their
wines
and
children
●●ying
into
the
woods
,
miserably
perished
through
famine
and
cold
.
Eight
thousand
w●re
s●ide
to
followe
after
them
,
therefore
the
Si●esians
and
Morauians
mustered
souldiers
to
hinder
them
of
passage
,
and
sending
messengers
to
the
Prince
of
Transiluania
who
req●●sted
ayde
,
and
threatned
a
contrary
inrode
of
Turkes
and
Tartars
into
Poland
,
if
it
againe
should
endeauour
any
thing
against
his
dominion
,
or
the
dominion
of
his
confederates
,
(
although
the
King
of
Poland
answered
that
he
knewe
not
of
their
comming
)
and
furthermore
sent
an
embassage
vnto
Vienna
,
that
except
these
Cosacces
beeing
called
into
the
Prouince
against
the
league
were
againe
dimissed
,
hee
would
presently
come
with
sixteene
thousand
Hungarians
and
helpe
the
oppressed
.
At
the
same
time
Bucquoy
going
about
to
reuenge
the
losse
that
hee
had
receiued
not
long
before
by
the
Bohemians
at
Chitse
,
with
eight
thousand
horse
and
foote
marched
towards
Langelose
.
There
were
there
nine
companies
in
garrison
vnder
Count
Mansfield
;
but
the
Count
himselfe
was
gone
to
Prague
.
When
they
came
thether
,
certaine
troupes
being
sent
before
,
and
the
residue
detained
in
ambush
,
hee
drewe
the
Mansfieldians
out
of
the
towne
into
the
ambush
.
Therefore
a
great
fight
being
made
,
and
the
troupes
of
horse
being
put
to
fight
,
about
nine
hundred
foote
were
ronted
,
but
the
residue
escaped
with
the
losse
of
fiue
ensignes
,
and
also
foure
hundred
were
slaine
vpon
the
other
side
.
A
few
dayes
after
an
assault
being
made
vpon
the
troupe
of
Hollach
,
they
ronted
threescore
.
Likewise
also
the
imperiall
souldiers
who
were
in
garrison
at
Laea
,
sallying
foorth
slewe
about
two
hundred
of
the
Sallernian
souldiers
:
and
the
Cosacces
oppressed
and
ronted
a
troupe
of
Hollaghian
horse
in
a
certaine
village
.
Dampier
vnderstanding
of
this
successe
,
ioyned
campe
with
Bucquoy
,
and
determined
to
march
the
next
way
towards
Prague
,
&
Bucquoy
commanded
,
that
each
one
should
prouide
himselfe
of
powder
and
victuals
for
the
space
of
six
dayes
.
But
Christian
Prince
Anhalt
with
the
Bohemian
and
Morauian
troupes
being
gathered
together
without
delay
to
Egenburg
,
the
officers
and
souldiers
that
wandred
vp
and
downe
in
Prague
,
being
commaunded
within
the
space
of
twenty
foure
hours
to
appeare
in
the
campe
,
vnder
a
great
penaltie
.
In
the
meane
space
the
Spaniards
,
whom
we
saide
aboue
,
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Balthasar
to
haue
come
to
Cruma●●
,
and
to
Budwitz
,
making
an
inrode
towards
W●●ian
and
Praga●●t
did
mightily
molest
the
inhabitants
with
spoiling
and
fyring
,
and
after
the
departure
of
Bucquoy
,
againe
wasted
the
towne
that
before
had
beene
repaired
.
Vpon
the
two
and
twentith
of
February
the
souldiers
in
great
abundance
set
forward
from
Budwitz
,
and
comming
to
Thine
,
which
is
three
miles
distant
from
Thabor
,
and
seated
vpon
M●ldawe
,
caused
it
to
yeelde
,
and
gaue
leaue
to
the
garrison
to
depart
.
But
seeing
that
the
towne
could
not
be
held
,
they
ransacked
and
left
it
,
and
thence
passed
to
Belieschin
and
to
Wittigaue
,
returning
at
length
with
a
great
bootie
vnto
their
fellowes
:
which
things
caused
againe
that
a
mustering
was
made
,
and
that
euery
twentieth
person
was
commaunded
to
bee
ready
at
all
times
.
After
that
the
King
of
Bohemia
was
departed
from
Morauia
he
came
with
great
triumph
to
Vrat●slaue
,
where
foure
Canons
,
an
Abbot
,
and
a
Prior
of
the
Monasteries
appearing
in
the
Court
tooke
the
oath
of
allegiance
,
which
likewise
about
noone
was
done
by
the
citizens
.
All
things
being
prosperously
done
,
when
in
the
meane
space
Embassadours
were
come
from
the
King
of
Denmarke
to
the
King
of
●ohemia
,
some
were
appointed
by
the
Princes
of
Silesia
for
an
embassage
to
bee
sent
to
Constantinople
,
and
into
Poland
,
in
the
name
of
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
and
of
the
incorporated
Prouinces
:
but
the
King
hauing
viewed
the
city
all
about
,
and
the
Cathedrall
Church
being
saluted
,
also
all
priuiledges
being
confirmed
;
setled
himselfe
to
take
a
iourney
into
Lusatta
:
but
newes
being
receiued
of
the
endeauours
of
Buequoy
,
he
iudged
it
better
to
deferre
that
iourney
vntill
another
time
,
and
returned
to
Prague
.
The
Catholickes
againe
celebrated
a
lubily
,
the
Pope
so
ordering
and
commaunding
,
that
prayers
should
be
powred
forth
for
the
safety
of
the
Emperour
,
and
for
the
preseruation
of
Catholicke
Religion
in
the
Empire
.
When
this
feast
,
or
rather
fast
to
the
Catholickes
was
warned
in
the
Church
of
Stephan
at
Vienna
about
eight
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
vpon
the
three
and
twentith
of
February
,
thundrings
and
lightnings
were
seene
altogether
in
an
vnvsuall
fashion
,
not
without
the
great
amazement
of
all
.
A
strange
rel●tion
.
In
the
meane
season
,
Prince
Anhalt
labouboured
by
all
meanes
to
hinder
Bucquoy
(
who
vpon
the
twenty
fourth
of
February
had
lost
two
hundred
Souldiers
in
assaulting
Gre●senstein
to
no
purpose
)
from
comming
to
Prague
.
Therefore
gathering
his
Army
to
Egenb●●g
,
he
besieged
all
the
passages
of
that
place
:
furthermore
he
fought
with
the
Imperials
,
and
nor
a
few
on
both
sides
were
slaine
,
vntill
at
leng●h
they
ioyned
in
maine
Battell
,
wherein
Bucquoy
his
forces
were
ronted
and
put
to
execution
,
although
they
were
farre
more
in
number
.
It
is
reported
that
one
of
the
Casacces
running
,
lifted
Dampier
vpon
an
horse
,
and
so
preserued
his
life
;
who
afterwards
retuning
to
Vienna
,
complained
much
of
the
improuident
care
of
Buequoy
,
because
hee
refused
to
fight
,
vntill
the
Armies
were
come
into
straite
passages
and
narrow
places
.
Bucquoy
being
fled
,
a
great
rich
booty
was
intercepted
,
the
Imperials
reuolted
;
Bohemia
,
Morauia
,
Silesia
,
Lusatia
,
and
Austria
,
yea
,
and
Hungary
,
were
confirmed
to
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
and
in
a
word
,
all
signes
of
future
prosperity
profered
themselues
to
him
,
but
the
contrary
to
his
enemies
.
Yea
a
little
after
at
Prague
a
Parliament
was
kept
,
wherein
they
propounded
the
example
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
in
the
Low
Countries
to
be
imitated
by
them
,
if
so
be
that
all
Poperie
should
endeauour
to
make
their
dominions
the
appointed
field
for
warre
:
and
if
they
cannot
like
Africanus
,
make
the
warres
to
ascend
ouer
into
the
countries
of
their
enemies
.
A
more
safe
,
easie
,
frugall
,
and
honourable
warre
.
But
other
arguments
,
and
some
more
strong
are
not
too
popularly
to
be
expressed
.
Prince
Anhalt
is
saide
to
bee
gone
to
giue
his
attendance
vpon
Bucquoy
,
who
is
reported
to
bee
fallen
into
melancholy
(
peraduenture
adust
)
at
Creams
.
But
rather
the
Loilorian
Phormioes
seeme
to
bee
blamed
then
Bucquoy
,
because
they
make
none
ende
with
their
talkatiue
experience
to
violate
the
very
Principles
of
Warre
,
and
of
Peace
,
and
yet
they
must
master
the
often
tried
practise
of
Commaunders
in
both
,
although
perpetuall
ruine
manifesteth
their
folly
to
the
world
.
About
this
time
was
an
assembly
of
Electors
at
Mulhouse
;
wherein
Mentz
,
Colon
,
and
Saxonie
were
present
:
and
Tr●ers
sent
his
Embassadour
.
They
deliberated
to
turne
away
the
misery
that
is
likely
to
fall
vpon
the
Emperour
,
&c.
But
the
Prince
of
Vinarie
gathered
souldiers
for
the
Bohemians
in
the
vnited
prouinces
of
the
Lowe
Countries
:
and
the
States
there
deliberated
of
sending
a
Nauy
into
America
,
the
Merchants
bestowing
a
vast
summe
of
money
vpon
this
vse
,
which
with
hast
they
intend
to
employ
,
least
any
one
should
ransacke
the
Campe
before
them
.
When
after
this
dismall
day
to
Bucquoy
,
he
was
returned
to
Creames
,
the
Cosacces
began
againe
with
most
terrible
fyring
and
spoyling
to
sharke
into
lower
Austria
:
and
sparing
neither
Protestants
nor
Papists
,
procured
so
great
enuy
to
themselues
amongst
all
,
in
so
much
that
they
were
partly
slaine
by
their
owne
fellowe
souldiers
:
namely
,
the
Wallons
,
for
committing
of
sacriledge
,
and
partly
were
sent
prisoners
to
Creames
.
The
Emperour
by
Proclamation
required
the
Austrians
to
take
the
oath
of
allegiance
,
or
else
to
bee
denounced
and
proceeded
against
as
Rebels
:
but
it
is
apparent
,
that
as
the
Emperour
propounded
this
in
a
bad
time
,
so
that
they
will
followe
the
course
of
the
world
,
most
to
regard
the
arising
King
of
Bohemia
.
And
as
in
a
falling
house
the
lesser
timber
followeth
the
greater
,
so
doth
it
befall
the
Emperour
:
for
euen
those
Souldiers
who
sometime
had
tarried
in
Veteraui●
,
as
wee
saide
afore
,
and
could
not
obtaine
passage
,
being
repelled
by
the
Counts
of
Veterauia
,
when
they
had
also
beene
very
troublesome
to
the
countrey
people
in
the
territorie
of
Triers
,
endeauoured
to
passe
ouer
into
the
Diocesse
of
Colen
:
but
the
countrey
people
resisted
them
with
such
force
,
that
although
they
had
fired
some
of
their
villages
,
yet
the
fire
beeing
neglected
,
they
slew
many
of
the
souldiers
,
and
compelled
the
residue
to
flie
.
Of
them
also
who
hauing
obtained
passage
,
were
come
to
the
borders
of
Bauaria
,
some
of
them
falling
into
sedition
,
rent
their
colours
,
and
went
to
serue
vnder
Marquesse
Onoltzbac
,
and
the
others
returned
home
.
The
Marquesse
of
Durlach
with
an
Army
of
the
vnited
Electors
and
States
is
gone
to
Briscoue
,
and
abideth
in
the
middest
betwixt
Brisac
and
Friburg
,
and
hath
signified
to
the
bordering
States
,
that
hee
is
commaunded
to
hinder
the
passage
of
souldiers
into
Alsatia
.
Not
long
after
Leopold
the
Arch
Duke
sent
Embassadors
to
entreat
passage
for
his
souldiers
,
to
whom
the
Marquesse
answered
,
that
hee
could
not
:
but
that
they
should
goe
vnto
On●●tzbac
there
to
obtaine
leaue
.
It
is
also
reported
,
and
that
by
especiall
good
and
great
intelligence
,
that
since
Bucquoy
his
ouerthrowe
,
some
three
thousand
Italians
comming
to
Budwitz
,
and
thence
passing
forward
in
Bohemia
,
were
met
by
some
of
the
King
of
Bohemia
his
forces
,
where
after
skirmish
they
being
rowted
,
fled
backe
againe
to
Budwitz
,
leauing
dead
behind
them
,
about
some
fiue
hundred
of
their
company
.
