The
Continuation
of
our
Weekely
NEWES
.
From
Constantinople
the
10.
of
Aprill
1632.
THe
Lord
Paul
Strasburg
,
Embassador
from
the
King
of
Sweden
,
to
the
Prince
of
Transilvania
,
yesterday
arrived
here
.
The
said
Embassador
did
refuse
to
be
received
publikely
with
pomp
and
state
,
after
the
common
custome
and
manner
of
entertaining
of
such
persons
.
The
reason
was
,
because
he
had
left
a
great
number
of
his
followers
in
Transilvania
.
I
suppose
that
the
end
of
his
comming
into
these
parts
,
was
concerning
the
Princesse
;
who
is
sister
to
the
King
of
Swedens
Queene
,
and
Bethlem
Gabors
widow
.
And
furthermore
,
to
condescend
to
the
request
and
desire
of
the
Prince
of
Transilvania
.
The
boisterous
humors
of
the
military
sort
,
and
especially
the
Spahies
;
cannot
as
yet
be
pacified
,
nor
the
differences
allayd
.
They
commit
many
insolencies
,
without
any
respect
to
Magistrates
,
superiors
,
or
great
ones
Nay
not
so
much
as
bearing
respect
to
the
great
Turke
himselfe
,
much
lesse
to
the
Visiers
.
Their
insolent
pride
is
come
to
that
height
,
that
there
is
no
other
hope
left
but
onely
the
ruine
of
the
whole
Turkish
Empire
,
or
at
leastwise
of
their
persons
.
The
Astrologians
haue
prognosticated
a
terrible
bloud-shedding
in
this
Citie
,
and
all
matters
indeede
doe
seeme
to
dispose
themselues
and
bend
to
such
a
woefull
effect
.
I
doe
palpably
perceiue
that
our
State
is
farre
more
dangerous
,
than
the
same
was
even
at
the
deposing
&
killing
of
Sultan
Osman
.
The
Emperor
or
great
Turke
and
all
his
Ministers
and
Councell
,
are
without
councell
and
at
their
wits
end
.
Yesterday
the
Zebesies
(
those
are
they
that
governe
and
keepe
the
Munition
and
Ordnance
)
did
massacre
publikely
one
of
their
Survasies
or
Captaines
:
and
which
is
most
strange
,
even
at
that
time
when
the
Turkes
doe
keepe
their
Ramedan
,
or
fasting
moneth
;
at
which
time
they
doe
vsually
abhorre
and
abstaine
from
all
manner
of
wicked
insolencies
,
especially
from
bloud-shedding
.
It
is
to
be
feared
,
that
after
their
Bairam
,
a
fearefull
bloudy
tragedie
will
follow
.
The
Lord
of
mercy
,
preserue
and
keepe
vs
,
and
all
innocent
ones
,
from
their
cruell
and
bloudy
intentions
.
From
Dantzich
the
4.
of
May
,
1632.
Those
of
Polonia
haue
so
long
disputed
of
the
succession
of
their
King
,
that
at
the
last
they
haue
found
a
reason
of
resolving
the
succession
by
his
death
.
The
said
Kings
death
befell
at
Warsaw
on
the
29th
day
of
Aprill
last
,
he
dyed
of
an
Apoplexie
,
which
indeede
he
was
strucke
withall
sixe
dayes
before
.
His
death
fell
out
very
vnseasonably
:
for
Polonia
being
now
envelopped
&
fallen
into
warres
with
Muscovia
,
which
certainly
will
cause
the
States
of
that
Kingdome
to
hasten
the
choice
of
a
new
King
;
which
election
is
deferred
vntill
the
second
Sunday
after
Whitsuntyde
.
In
the
meane
while
the
Arch-bishop
of
Guesnen
governes
the
whole
Kingdome
for
the
time
being
.
Among
the
chiefest
Competitors
for
this
Crowne
,
the
King
of
Sweden
is
by
all
men
supposed
to
be
the
most
likely
:
next
to
him
the
Prince
Vlad●slaus
,
eldest
sonne
to
the
late
deceased
King
;
then
the
Prince
Casimirus
hi●
brother
by
the
Fathers
side
,
and
the
Arch-duke
Leopoldus
.
But
because
the
last
of
these
is
not
esteemed
fortunate
and
successefull
in
his
designes
of
Warre
,
the
Election
is
rather
ascribed
to
the
strength
&
power
of
the
first
,
or
favour
of
the
second
.
The
rather
because
their
States
haue
recalled
him
from
the
great
charge
which
was
laid
vpon
him
,
being
Generall
of
the
Armie
against
the
Muscovites
,
as
soone
as
ever
they
perceived
his
Father
drawing
to
an
end
,
they
having
established
and
sent
into
his
roome
,
the
Prince
Razevill
.
From
Madrid
the
25th
.
of
May
,
1632.
Wee
doe
heare
that
the
King
of
Spaine
receiues
but
small
content
at
Barcelone
.
They
are
a
very
head-strong
people
,
very
hardly
to
be
perswaded
.
The
Deputies
haue
alreadie
had
some
bickering
with
Count
Olivarez
,
who
being
entred
into
discourse
with
them
vpon
some
matter
belonging
to
the
Voyage
;
they
perceiving
that
he
spake
of
moneyes
,
answered
him
,
that
they
would
account
with
the
King
himselfe
,
and
not
with
him
.
The
Infant
Carles
hath
taken
possession
of
the
charge
of
Generalissimo
of
the
Seas
,
which
was
provided
for
him
sixe
moneths
agoe
.
The
Ceremony
was
,
that
he
went
to
Sea
some
ten
leagues
,
with
some
Gallyes
and
Gallions
,
and
then
came
backe
and
made
his
entry
into
Barcelonia
,
in
state
and
qualitie
of
Generalissimo
.
Vnto
this
great
Charge
was
that
given
also
vnto
him
,
of
being
Vicar
Generall
of
the
King
,
which
great
place
doth
subject
vnto
him
,
all
the
Viceroyes
and
Governors
of
that
Countrey
.
Lately
there
was
almost
raised
a
great
tumult
at
Lisbon
,
betwixt
the
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
and
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Citie
.
Which
troublesome
Difference
,
Don
Fredericke
de
Toledo
could
no
otherwise
appease
,
but
by
the
imprisoning
of
some
of
the
Souldiers
.
Although
the
hurt
and
wrong
done
,
was
not
very
great
.
But
the
insolencies
of
those
people
will
encrease
,
if
they
be
not
timely
suppressed
.
It
is
said
that
here
the
Deputies
are
accorded
and
agreed
to
yeeld
vnto
the
King
two
millions
and
an
halfe
;
in
case
and
on
condition
,
that
he
will
be
pleased
to
recall
the
new
imposition
vpon
Salt
.
But
the
King
before
he
will
condescend
vnto
that
,
he
will
presse
them
to
maintaine
30000.

and

Brussels
the
12.
of
Iune
.
I
promised
you
at
your
last
departure
to
giue
you
notice
of
the
particular
passages
of
these
parts
;
which
I
will
now
accordingly
performe
,
beginning
from
the
day
that
the
Hollanders
invanded
this
Land
.
Vpon
Wednesday
being
the
second
of
Iune
,
the
Prince
of
Orange
came
into
that
part
of
Gilderland
,
which
was
subject
to
the
King
of
Spaine
:
and
dividing
his
Armie
,
laid
siege
both
vnto
Venlo
and
Ruremond
:
and
because
he
might
the
easier
winne
the
people
to
yeeld
vp
those
Townes
without
effusion
of
blood
;
he
sent
vnto
them
conditions
of
peace
,
consisting
of
18.
Articles
,
which
were
so
easie
and
favourable
in
their
behalfes
,
as
their
owne
hearts
could
desire
.
Amongst
which
Articles
one
was
;
That
they
should
enjoy
free
exercise
of
Religion
,
without
any
diminution
of
such
rents
,
as
appertained
to
the
Clergie
;
or
molestation
of
those
Religious
Orders
which
were
within
those
Townes
.
The
Citizens
having
thoroughly
considered
vpon
these
points
,
and
finding
the
number
of
their
Souldiers
not
sufficient
to
withstand
any
violent
assault
;
thought
best
to
accept
of
them
.
Wherevpon
,
those
of
Venlo
delivered
vp
their
Towne
vnto
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
vpon
Friday
Iune
4.
and
those
of
Ruremond
,
the
Sunday
following
.
It
is
said
,
that
at
the
celebration
of
the
Sacrament
,
the
Prince
gaue
order
vpon
paine
of
death
,
that
the
Souldiers
should
not
molest
nor
deride
the
Catholiks
in
the
time
of
their
publike
Procession
.
This
is
a
thing
which
gaue
the
people
no
small
contentment
:
and
which
will
not
a
little
advance
the
Hollanders
in
their
after
conquests
,
if
they
continue
firme
in
this
resolution
.
Wee
haue
newes
,
that
Graue
Ernest
of
Nassau
,
was
slaine
before
Ruremond
with
a
Musket-shot
,
as
he
was
alighting
off
his
horse
.
The
Prince
of
Orange
having
placed
strong
Guards
in
the
aforesaid
Townes
;
continued
on
his
march
forwards
,
&
hath
since
taken
in
a
strong
Castle
,
with
two
other
wall●d
Townes
and
(
as
it
is
reported
)
is
now
come
before
Maestricht
,
where
Graue
Iohn
de
Nassau
is
readie
to
entertaine
them
with
Canon-shot
,
having
lodged
the
last
weeke
4000.
men
within
the
Towne
,
for
the
better
securing
of
the
place
.
It
is
said
,
that
the
Spanish
Forces
are
hasting
out
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
that
the
people
of
Leige
doe
refuse
their
passage
thorough
their
Countrey
,
because
of
certaine
wrongs
they
haue
lately
received
by
the
Spaniards
.
As
for
Graue
Henrie
Vanden
Berg
,
he
hath
retired
himselfe
vnto
the
Citie
of
Leige
since
the
losse
of
his
government
;
for
all
the
Dutchie
of
Gelderland
is
now
conquered
by
the
Hollanders
,
the
Towne
of
Gelders
onely
excepted
.
Whilst
these
things
were
thus
in
acting
,
the
Hollanders
(
who
for
more
surety
fished
with
two
hookes
)
put
in
execution
an
other
enterprise
of
no
lesse
important
consideration
.
For
vpon
Munday
last
(
being
the
seventh
of
this
moneth
)
they
came
vp
the
River
of
Antwerp
with
a
great
Fleete
of
ships
,
boates
,
and
pontous
,
and
disbarking
their
men
about
t●n
of
the
clocke
in
the
night
,
not
farre
from
a
Fort
called
in
Dutch
,
Creutz-Sconce
,
or
Crosse
Sconce
;
before
it
was
morning
they
had
so
well
intrenched
themselues
,
that
so
soone
that
the
day
appeared
,
they
mounted
their
Canon
,
and
began
to
batter
the
Fort
;
continuing
the
batterie
all
the
day
following
,
(
in
which
time
they
made
two
violent
assaults
,
though
both
times
repulsed
)
and
vpon
Wednesday
,
the
Souldiers
of
the
Fort
(
finding
no
succour
comming
,
and
their
Captaine
being
slaine
)
delivered
it
to
the
Hollanders
by
accord
,
who
now
are
in
possession
of
it
.
Some
two
houres
after
the
deliverie
of
this
place
,
Don
C●rlos
de
Coloma
(
having
no
notice
thereof
)
marched
out
of
Antwerpe
with
some
six
thousand
men
of
foote
,
and
certaine
Troupes
of
horse
,
with
eight
Canon
to
succour
it
:
but
finding
at
his
approach
that
the
Fort
was
taken
,
hee
bestowed
some
shot
of
Artillerie
against
it
,
and
after
hee
had
skirmished
a
while
with
the
Enemy
,
seeing
no
hope
(
as
then
)
to
dislodge
them
,
he
made
his
retreat
,
giving
order
to
the
Cavallery
to
march
over
the
water
into
Flaunders
.
Thus
haue
you
heard
what
hath
passed
in
this
Countrey
within
the
space
of
eight
dayes
,
all
these
disasters
haue
befallen
this
Land
through
want
of
Souldiers
to
defend
it
.
There
was
about
some
two
moneths
since
a
goodly
Armie
,
ready
at
a
dayes
warning
,
to
march
into
the
field
,
but
it
was
dispersed
,
part
being
sent
to
the
reconquest
of
the
Palatinate
,
others
to
the
succour
of
the
Emperor
,
and
a
third
part
into
Lorraine
,
in
Monsieurs
(
the
French
Kings
Brother
)
behalfe
.
All
I
can
adde
to
this
former
discourse
is
,
that
there
is
a
generall
feare
possessing
the
hearts
of
the
Inhabitants
,
as
if
they
were
already
in
the
Enemies
clutches
.
We
doe
heare
that
some
two
dayes
since
the
Cardinall
de
Cueua
ranne
hazard
to
be
slaine
,
as
he
was
getting
into
his
Coach
,
by
a
drunken
Burger
,
who
assaulted
and
reviled
him
.

Metz

of
Iune
.
1632.
Concerning
the
affayres
betweene
the
King
of
Sweden
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
we
haue
as
yet
received
no
other
certaintie
,
but
onely
that
the
said
Duke
is
yet
considering
of
the
Articles
which
were
mediated
by
the
French
King
,
and
proffered
by
the
King
of
Sweden
,
which
were
these
that
follow
.
1.
That
the
said
Duke
of
Bavaria
should
depart
from
,
and
renounce
and
breake
off
from
the
League
with
the
House
of
Austria
.
2.
That
he
should
so
dispose
of
his
Troupes
and
Compnyes
,
and
entertaine
the
same
,
that
they
should
not
assist
nor
encrease
the
Emperours
forces
,
nor
the
King
of
Spaines
,
nor
those
of
the
Catholike
League
.
3.
That
he
should
giue
and
permit
the
King
of
Swedens
Forces
a
free
passage
thorough
his
Countryes
:
and
for
assurance
thereof
,
giue
some
strong
place
into
their
keeping
,
as
,
namely
,
that
of
Ingelstadt
,
or
the
like
.
4.
That
he
should
contribute
a
certaine
summe
of
monyes
toward
the
maintenance
of
his
Warre
.
5.
That
all
places
shall
be
restored
mutually
that
haue
been
taken
from
the
one
or
the
other
,
during
these
troubles
in
Germany
.
Which
Articles
indeede
are
very
favourable
and
tolerable
,
and
able
to
accommodate
all
.
Neither
can
they
any
way
seeme
harsh
to
any
one
who
shall
consider
the
Countrey
of
the
same
Duke
now
lying
open
as
a
prey
vnto
the
King
of
Swedens
Armie
.
And
that
at
this
present
he
hath
no
revenues
at
all
.
A
Copie
of
a
Letter
written
from
the
field-Armie
of
the
King
of
Sweden
,
neere
vnto
Altzeybrugh
dated
the
5.
of
Iune
.
Whereas
our
Army
two
dayes
agoe
did
march
toward
the
Armie
of
the
Enemie
,
and
assault
the
same
,
not
farre
from
a
Cloister
neer
vnto
Steynbach
in
a
Valley
.
We
with
our
Canon
haue
continued
playing
vpon
the
enemy
,
&
many
of
our
Troupes
haue
skirmished
with
some
of
theirs
.
But
the
Enemy
perceiving
,
that
we
were
stronger
then
he
supposed
,
hee
retyred
at
his
leisure
,
and
sent
before
him
all
his
baggage
and
the
most
part
of
his
Ordnance
,
and
his
foot-forces
after
them
and
with
his
Cavallery
and
some
Companies
of
foot
,
which
were
left
behind
,
kept
vs
in
action
,
to
the
end
that
his
baggage
and
Ordnance
might
be
ensured
and
conveyed
.
In
this
his
retreat
our
Forces
did
follow
the
Enemy
close
at
their
heeles
:
and
moreover
two
of
the
Rhyne-Graues
companies
of
Horse
encountered
with
foure
Spanish
Troupes
,
and
routed
them
vtterly
,
insomuch
that
they
fled
into
a
wood
,
where
they
were
pursued
by
our
Troupes
.
But
by
reason
that
the
foot-forces
of
the
Enemy
shot
so
furiously
vpon
them
,
they
were
constrained
to
retyre
in
some
disorder
.
Wherevpon
4.
other
Companies
of
the
Regiment
of
Hornech
were
commanded
to
succour
those
two
retyring
Troupes
:
But
they
without
expecting
the
approach
of
them
resumed
the
retreat
and
so
fell
vpon
part
of
the
Front
of
their
Armie
,
that
they
caused
such
a
confusion
amongst
the
wagons
with
baggage
,
that
they
were
compelled
to
retyre
for
shelter
to
Altzey
.
The
Enemy
durst
not
so
much
as
follow
our
retyring
Troupes
,
nor
the
other
4.
Companies
of
Hornechs
Regiment
,
but
continually
seemed
to
flye
from
our
advancing
Army
.
In
fine
the
Enemy
left
behind
them

From
the
Swedish
Campe
the
14.
of
June
.
The
Lord
Chancellor
Oxenstern
hauing
receiued
aduertisement
,
that
the
Spanish
Army
(
both
horse
and
foote
)
commanded
by
the
Count
of
Embden
,
and
Don
Philippe
de
Silua
did
intend
to
part
and
march
from
Spire
towards
the
Mosel
,
and
there
the
said
Army
,
carrying
along
fiue
peeces
of
Ordnance
did
breake
vp
on
the
21.
of
May
,
old
stile
.
Hee
presently
tooke
resolution
to
follow
&
march
likewise
with
the
Swedish
forces
hee
had
in
those
parts
,
and
vpon
any
occasion
to
offer
battell
vnto
the
enemy
.
And
therefore
on
the
23.
of
May
hee
parted
with
Palatino
Christian
from
Mentz
,
and
marched
that
day
towards
Altzem
,
there
they
lodged
their
Army
in
the
field
before
the
Towne
.
The
next
morning
advise
being
brought
that
the
Spanish
Army
did
lodge
but
two
leagues
from
thence
at
a
market
Towne
called
Gelheym
,
they
would
by
no
means
neglect
that
occasion
,
but
presently
resolued
to
march
directly
thither
,
&
to
assault
the
enemy
.
To
which
end
the
Rhine-graue
with
some
forces
went
before
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Army
did
presently
follow
.
Assoone
as
the
Spaniards
heard
and
saw
our
forces
comming
,
hee
dispatched
away
all
his
baggage
,
and
in
a
valley
which
makes
a
reasonable
large
plaine
field
and
lyeth
before
a
wood
,
hee
put
the
whole
Army
in
battle-array
.
The
Rhine-graue
(
who
,
as
it
is
well
knowne
,
doth
feare
no
number
)
encouraging
his
troupes
,
suddenly
and
couragiously
charged
the
said
Army
,
and
set
so
violently
on
the
same
,
that
he
put
them
into
a
confusion
and
disorder
,
the
whole
Army
retyring
and
sauing
it selfe
in
the
sayd
wood
,
and
leauing
to
the
Rhine
graue
three
Cornets
and
a
great
many
of
souldiers
slaine
behind
,
being
still
followed
both
by
the
Swedish
horse
and
the
foot
also
,
who
in
the
meane
time
was
come
to
the
feast
,
though
somewhat
late
,
by
reason
of
the
many
hils
they
had
to
passe
the
night
then
comming
on
,
gaue
leasure
to
the
Spaniards
to
thinke
vpon
their
safety
,
and
to
march
away
,
and
the
Swedish
tooke
vp
their
lodgings
also
neere
,
and
in
the
sayd
wood
.
The
Spanish
Army
hauing
gotten
sufficient
notice
of
the
arriuall
of
their
enemies
Army
,
&
hauing
no
minde
to
fight
,
vnder
the
couert
of
the
night
marched
forward
:
and
on
the
25.
(
which
was
the
next
day
)
the
Swedish
Army
began
againe
to
march
likewise
.
But
although
the
Swedish
Cauallery
did
now
and
then
ouertake
some
Spaniards
and
slue
them
,
yet
the
Spanish
Army
got
ground
of
them
,
by
the
aduantage
of
the
hils
,
to
shun
their
danger
and
to
saue
themselues
.
Howsoeuer
,
we
did
still
follow
them
as
farre
as
La●tereck
,
so
that
the
sayd
Spanish
Army
was
neuer
at
rest
,
being
forced
to
march
day
and
night
:
Therefore
seeing
our
resolution
,
&
that
wee
came
still
vpon
their
heeles
,
they
at
last
tooke
another
resolution
,
and
to
make
their
journey
somewhat
easier
,
they
burnt
most
part
of
their
carriage
and
baggage
vpon
the
way
,
and
left
a
great
part
thereof
(
which
they
hoped
to
saue
and
carry
with
them
)
afterwards
behind
.
And
the
prisoners
(
whereof
wee
tooke
a
great
number
)
doe
assure
vs
,
that
the
said
Spanish
Generals
did
neuer
thinke
the
Swedes
would
dare
to
follow
them
:
but
afterwards
,
when
they
found
the
contrary
,
their
hopes
were
in
a
continuall
feare
and
discontent
.
And
so
the
continuall
marching
,
troubles
,
want
of
leasure
of
victuals
,
and
of
rest
,
and
our
often
falling
vpon
some
of
their
troupes
,
they
haue
suffered
very
great
losse
both
in
their
baggage
,
and
people
,
so
that
they
haue
little
to
boast
off
,
what
they
haue
gotten
in
that
afflicted
Country
:
the
lower
Palatinate
.
At
Lautereck
the
Swedish
forces
were
suffered
to
rest
and
refresh
themselues
.
And
from
hence
backe
againe
to
the
very
place
of
our
first
meeting
,
the
wayes
lye
strewed
full
of
dead
bodies
,
Spaniards
,
Italians
,
Wal●●ones
and
others
,
whereof
besides
such
as
were
slaine
,
many
died
of
wearinesse
and
●●l●nesse
.

Walstein
(
otherwise
Duke
of
Fridland
)
is
now
againe
vpon
the
Scaffold
to
act
a
part
in
our
German
Tragedy
;
and
for
a
beginning
hee
hath
taken
againe
Prague
vpon
composition
,
the
Saxon
forces
that
lay
in
the
same
being
sent
and
conuoyed
to
Leutmeritz
where
the
Elector
of
Saxon
his
Army
is
.
The
King
of
Sweden
is
suddenly
parted
from
Augsburg
towards
Memmingen
,
it
is
thought
hee
intends
to
find
out
and

Generall
Ossa

tarry
for
him
,
and
haue
the
honour
to
come
to

blowes
with
such
a
victorious
and
glorious
King
.
The
sayd
Ossa
hath
taken
Biberach
,
a
place
of
no
strength
.
Meane

there
is
a
good
Army
in

The
Duke
of
Wirtemberg
,
hauing
beene
with
the
King
of

at
Augsburg
,
doth
now
make
some
leauies
.
There
is
a
Secretary
of
the
said
King
sent
to
Strasburg
,
but
the
Magistrates
there
seemes
still
to
bee
desirous
to
remaine
neutrall
,
that
at
the
last
they
may
be
swallowed
vp
by
him
that
shall
be
victorious

Letter

by
the
French
King
to
the
Duke
of
Montbazon
Peere
and
great
Hunter
of
France
,
Governour
and
Lieutenant
Generall
for

Cousin
:
AS
my
care
and
scope
hath
e●e●
been
,
to
procure
rest
and
safety
to
my
Subiects
,
never
having
●eglected
(
as
●ll
men
know
)
any
occasion
,
nor
spared
any
paines
,
but
exposed
mine
owne
person
in
●ll
parts
where
I
could
any
way
advance
and
promote
the
publike
Pe●ce
and
tranq●ility
and
direct
all
things
to
the
e●se
and
comfort
of
my
people
:
So
on
the
other
side
,
I
cannot
receive
any
greater
,
or
more
sensible
displeasure
,
than
to
find
that
that
which
I
have
hitherto
done
with
so
good
an
intention
hath
not
beene
able
to
produce
the
effect
,
which
I
so
earnestly
desire
.
And
that
which
vexeth
me
yet
more
is
,
that
this
mischiefe
is
occasioned
even
from
those
who
are
obliged
unto
me
,
for
many
considerations
,
to
contribute
by
all
meanes
possible
,
unto
my
contentons
,
to
contribute
by
all
meanes
possible
,
unto
my
contentment
,
and
the
good
of
my
Estate
.
There
is
no
man
ignorant
of
the
faire
and
loving
carriage
which
I
have
shewed
unto
my
Brother
the
Duke
of
Orleans
and
his
followers
,
and
that
knowes
not
likewise
,
how
ill
they
have
requited
it
,
and
the
ill
designes
which
my
sayd
Brother
by
theyr
pernicious
advice
,
hath
made
appeare
these
last
five
or
sixe
yeares
upon
all
occasions
;
and
then
when
he
hath
seene
me
imployed
in
affaires
,
as
important
as
necessary
,
as
well
within
as
without
my
Kingdome
.
Against
which
,
being
desirous
to
provide
by
those
courses
that
are
most
fit
to
impeach
them
,
I
thought
I
had
the
last
yeare
taken
from
him
one
of
the
most
powerfull
meanes
of
troubling
the
state
,
in
separating
from
his
interest
,
the
Duke
of
Loraine
,
who
divers
times
before
,
had
furthered
his
departure
out
of
my
Kingdome
:
at
which
time
I
did
shew
an
extraordinary
favour
to
the
said
Duke
,
in
contenting
my selfe
with
his
faithfull
promises
,
and
the
consignement
of
one
of
his
places
.
Whereas
,
being
as
I
was
in
his
Country
,
and
having
there
a
powerfull
Army
,
I
could
then
have
easily
deprived
him
of
all
the
places
he
had
,
seeing
that
then
he
wanted
forces
to
defend
them
,
and
this
I
was
not
onely
unwilling
to
doe
my selfe
,
but
I
can
boldly
affirme
,
that
I
hindred
others
that
had
th●n
the
power
and
will
to
have
done
it
.
In
consequence
of
this
favour
having
understood
that
the
sayd
Duke
instead
of
a
religious
performance
of
his
faith
and
word
(
whereto
I
had
sufficiently
obliged
him
)
continued
his
first
Intelligences
,
I
have
omitted
no
course
within
my
power
that
might
divert
him
from
them
,
but
have
beene
so
farre
from
gayning
ought
thereby
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
the
sayd
Duke
not
content
to
hold
on
his
former
practises
against
my
Estate
,
but
hath
sollicited
and
incouraged
all
those
,
whom
he
held
capable
of
his
ill
resolutions
,
even
to
the
sending
of
divers
Messages
unto
the
Emperour
,
for
the
altering
of
his
good
intentions
,
and
soliciting
the
Spaniard
to
furnish
my
Brother
,
to
bandy
against
me
,
who
am
his
King
and
Soveraigne
,
as
he
himselfe
meant
to
have
done
on
his
part
.
To
this
effect
,
he
hath
increased
the
number
of
his
souldiers
,
and
made
divers
extraordinary
levyes
,
seducing
even
those
of
mine
owne
Army
without
giving
me
any
satisfaction
for
the
same
.
And
the
better
to
attaine
his
ends
,
he
hath
fortified
and
furnished
his
Places
,
without
any
other
cause
,
than
the
ill
will
he
hath
borne
unto
this
Estate
.
And
moreoouer
,
hath
redoubled
his
cunning
plots
and
practises
,
I
avow
that
I
could
hardly
have
beleeved
,
that
the
Duke
had
borne
me
so
much
ill
will
,
had
not
divers
Letters
written
by
his
Father
and
Sister
alighted
into
my
hands
,
which
Letters
not
onely
import
,
that
he
was
ready
to
assist
my
Brother
with
his
Armes
,
but
moreover
invited
him
seriously
to
consider
how
he
may
gaine
my
Crowne
which
they
say
in
expresse
termes
cannot
chuse
but
quickly
fall
into
his
hands
.
The
which
being
joyned
with
divers
other
particular
Int●lligences
,
which
I
have
;
among
others
;
some
which
I
have
gotten
out
of
divers
Letters
written
by
the
Lord
Pay-Laurens
,
unto
the
Princesse
Pfaltsburg
,
wherby
he
doth
assure
her
of
certaine
dessignes
of
very
great
importance
,
which
he
sayes
will
prove
infallable
.
I
could
doe
no
lesse
than
set
my selfe
in
a
course
of
defence
against
so
much
ill
will
whereof
to
my
great
griefe
,
I
am
most
certainly
informed
.
I
did
beleeve
,
that
having
provided
for
the
safety
of
some
places
where
mine
enemies
might
have
layd
theyr
foundation
(
as
you
have
understood
by
my
former
Letters
)
and
that
I
being
so
powerfully
armed
,
and
consequently
in
such
a
State
,
as
they
might
very
well
judge
that
all
their
enterprises
would
not
possibly
take
effect
;
they
would
have
left
theyr
ill
affectioned
intentions
,
and
particularly
above
the
rest
,
the
sayd
Duke
of
Loraine
unto
whom
I
did
m●ke
knowne
,
that
my
forces
were
in
Germany
,
to
prevent
the
ruine
of
the
Elector
of
Triers
,
and
to
protect
the
Catholike
Religion
and
Electors
Catholike
,
as
indeed
I
would
have
done
the
yeare
before
,
had
not
these
wicked
devices
and
evill
practices
hindred
and
prevented
me
.
But
when
I
see
my selfe
thus
quite
frustrated
of
all
my
hopes
,
and
seeing
that
it
is
so
farre
unlikely
that
I
am
able
to
divert
the
sayd
Duke
from
all
his
unjust
designes
,
that
to
the
contrary
(
which
was
a
maine
meanes
to
draw
me
from
that
good
intention
which
I
had
to
prevent
the
ruine
of
mine
Allye
,
the
sayd
Elector
,
and
so
likewise
the
ruine
of
all
other
Catholike
Electors
,
by
the
same
way
which
I
had
proposed
for
the
former
)
to
the
breach
of
the
Treaty
of
Vic.
which
did
oblige
him
to
have
no
correspondencie
with
my
Brother
,
he
did
entice
him
to
come
with
armes
&
forces
into
my
Dominions
,
where
he
was
no
sooner
entred
,
but
he
began
to
make
open
warre
and
hostility
,
cutting
in
peeces
and
defeating
a
whole
Company
of
Carabins
,
which
the
Marshall
Deffiat
caused
to
passe
thorough
without
any
suspicion
;
notwithstanding
the
sayd
Duke
was
obliged
to
yeeld
free
passage
to
my
troupes
and
forces
.
Whence
you
see
it
followed
,
that
my
Brother
entred
with
a
strong
armed
hand
into
my
Kingdome
.
All
these
reasons
afore
mentioned
,
have
constrained
me
to
fall
into
his
Dominions
and
jurisdiction
,
to
make
him
sensible
of
my
indignation
,
and
feele
the
punishment
of
his
wicked
infidelity
,
and
to
support
the
welfare
of
my
Realme
and
by
these
troubles
of
his
Dominions
,
to
present
the
euill
intended
against
mine
.
I
haue
beene
very
willing
to
acquaint
you
with
all
the
aforesayd
passages
,
to
the
end
that
you
might
make
all
my
loving
and
faithfull
Subjects
of
France
;
within
the
bounds
and
limits
of
your
charge
,
partakers
thereof
.
I
am
perswaded
they
will
have
the
same
hope
which
I
have
concerning
the
successe
of
our
Army
,
that
by
the
Grace
and
assistance
of
the
Almighty
the
same
shall
be
no
lesse
happie
than
in
these
former
yeares
,
since
the
cause
is
so
just
and
necessary
.
Iust
,
in
as
much
as
this
warre
of
mine
is
caused
not
onely
by
a
Prince
who
hath
neglected
no
meanes
for
the
troubling
of
State
,
with
the
breach
of
his
faith
and
word
;
but
moreover
a
Prince
who
being
my
Vassall
,
by
reason
of
some
part
of
his
estate
,
hath
voluntarily
plunged
himselfe
into
a
notorious
Felony
.
Againe
,
I
say
necessary
,
because
if
I
should
not
prevent
by
force
of
Armes
the
evils
plotted
against
my
State
,
I
should
at
last
find
a
heape
of
troubles
overwhelming
the
same
.
Of
which
State
and
Kingdome
of
mine
,
I
doe
so
desire
the
rest
and
tranquillity
,
and
entire
conservation
;
that
I
protest
the
greatest
displeasure
which
I
feele
in
this
world
is
,
that
I
am
not
able
to
effect
that
designe
which
I
have
ever
intended
for
the
tranquillity
of
the
same
,
and
to
comfort
and
make
my
Subjects
happie
with
a
long
and
durable
Peace
,
which
by
Gods
assistance
I
doe
promise
to
bring
to
passe
.
I
beseech
him
(
my
Cousin
)
to
have
you
into
his
Sacred
protection
.
