labouring

,
vsed

such
motiues

The
Contents
whereof
you
haue
in
this
Extract
.
You
Peeres
,
Earles
,
and
Lords
,
Yee
are
partly
of
those
,
who
haue
shewed
themselues
vnfaithfull
and
disloyall
to
your
owne
Countrey
,
and
doe
helpe
to
ruinate
the
same
.
You
Generalls
,
Lieutenant-Generalls
,
(
and
all
you
the
rest
inferiour
Officers
)
I
haue
ever
held
and
esteemed
you
for
vpright
and
stout
Cavalliers
,
and
I
doe
witnesse
for
you
,
that
vpon
occasion
offered
,
you
haue
in
fighting
given
such
demonstration
of
your
valour
,
as
that
I
haue
therewithall
rested
satisfied
.
But
when
I
doe
behold
you
present
here
before
me
,
and
doe
consider
of
,
and
call
to
mind
your
stealing
,
robbing
,
and
pillaging
,
and
that
ye
also
doe
participate
,
and
are
guiltie
of
those
insolencies
,
and
obserue
no
discipline
,
nor
doe
no
justice
,
all
my
haires
doe
stand
an
end
.
Is
not
this
a
dolefull
case
and
lamentable
,
and
odious
in
the
sight
of
God
,
that
one
Christian
and
joynt
religious
,
one
friend
another
,
yea
one
brother
shall
pillage
and
ransacke
another
,
and
spoile
,
and
ruinate
,
and
vndoe
another
:
the
Devills
in
hell
doe
shew
more
loue
,
and
are
more
trustie
one
to
another
,
then
you
Christians
are
among
your selues
.
My
heart
faileth
mee
,
and
my
bowels
yearne
within
mee
,
when
I
doe
heare
that
the
Swedisb
Souldiers
are
more
insolent
then
those
of
the
enemy
:
when
indeed
not
Swedes
,
but
the
Germanes
commit
the
insolencies
:
had
I
knowne
that
ye
had
beene
of
such
an
humour
,
and
had
borne
no
more
affection
to
your
owne
natiue
Countrey
,
and
that
you
would
haue
done
no
better
service
for
the
same
,
nor
shewed
more
fidelitie
:
I
had
never
so
much
as
sadled
an
horse
for
your
sakes
,
much
lesse
ever
haue
adventured
my
Kingdome
,
my
life
and
goods
,
and
with
mine
owne
person
haue
adventured
so
many
stout
and
valorous
men
for
your
welfare
:
but
I
would
rather
since
I
perceiue
that
you
aff●ct
and
desire
it
,
haue
suffered
you
to
remaine
plunged
in
the
greatest
and
most
miserable
servitude
and
slaverie
.
Yee
know
full
well
,
that
I
do
not
easily
or
slightly
denie
any
of
you
any
reasonable
request
,
&
my
God
knoweth
,
that
I
never
intend●d
any
other
thing
,
but
(
by
his
blessed
assistance
)
to
restore
every
man
to
their
owne
,
and
their
own
to
them
:
and
for
the
remainder
,
especially
what
I
obtaine
in
Franconia
and
Bavaria
,
to
distribute
and
impart
among
you
,
and
to
leaue
none
of
you
vnrecompenced
for
your
faithfull
service
:
but
your
accursed
and
divellish
robbing
and
stealing
doth
hinder
and
keepe
me
backe
in
all
my
Christian
intentions
.
Can
you
not
consider
what
praise
and
fame
posteritie
will
leaue
you
in
future
histories
?
what
a
burthen
you
will
lay
on
your
owne
consciences
?
and
what
judgements
and
punishments
you
draw
vpon
your selues
,
your
posteritie
,
the
whole
Countrey
,
and
those
that
shall
succeed
you
?
Oh
that
you
doe
not
consider
,
what
an
account
you
are
to
yeelde
vp
at
that
great
and
dreadfull
day
of
account
.
I
would
rather
haue
remained
within
mine
owne
Kingdome
,
than
I
would
longer
behold
such
base
insolencies
.
Perchance
you
may
say
,
you
want
monies
;
but
when
I
haue
the
meanes
to
satisfie
both
you
,
and
the
whole
Armie
,
and
you
by
pillaging
,
robbing
,
and
stealing
depriue
me
of
those
meanes
,
I
beseech
you
than
where
is
the
fault
?
What
doe
I
receiue
of
all
your
prey
?
just
nothing
.
I
doe
protest
before
God
,
and
it
is
truth
,
that
of
all
this
warre
I
haue
not
so
much
enriched
my selfe
as
the
worth
of
a
paire
of
bootes
;
and
I
professe
withall
,
that
I
would
rather
ride
without
bootes
,
than
any
wayes
in
the
least
measure
to
enrich
my selfe
by
the
losse
and
prejudice
of
other
poore
men
.
I
will
make
it
appeare
to
you
,
and
to
those
that
desire
therein
to
be
satisfied
,
that
I
haue
had
made
over
vnto
me
since
I
came
out
of
mine
owne
Kingdome
,
at
32.
severall
times
,
aboue
40.
tunne
of
Gold
,
which
I
haue
spent
for
your
good
,
and
the
restauration
of
those
that
are
vnited
with
mee
in
the
true
Religion
.
I
confesse
I
might
herein
bee
silent
,
but
the
consideration
of
the
great
losse
that
I
haue
sustained
of
so
many
braue
Worthies
and
Cavalleres
,
whose
vertues
indeed
were
beyond
estimation
,
constrained
mee
to
speake
what
I
doe
;
and
truely
I
valued
them
beyond
all
my
wealth
.
And
for
your
parts
what
haue
you
contributed
?
I
desire
nothing
at
your
hands
but
onely
this
,
that
you
depriue
and
rob
not
others
of
their
goods
,
but
leaue
vnto
every
man
his
owne
.
This
Oration
which
was
in
part
penned
by
many
,
tooke
vp
divers
sheetes
of
paper
.
This
is
but
onely
the
extract
and
part
of
it
.
After
the
Oration
ended
,
his
Majestie
made
strict
prohibition
,
and
added
therevnto
a
commination
,
that
hee
would
spare
none
hence-forward
,
Peere
,
nor
Earle
,
Generall
,
nor
Commander
.
And
in
case
they
should
mutinie
,
hee
with
his
Swedes
and
Finlanders
would
vndertake
so
to
rattle
them
,
that
the
very
shivers
should
flie
about
.
Which
prohibition
was
no
sooner
proclaimed
with
the
sound
of
trumpets
,
but
hee
caused
a
Lieutenant
to
be
hanged
for
commiting
some
of
the
aforesaid
insolencies
.
When
as
a
certaine
Pesant
or
Countryman
came
and
made
complaint
to
his
Majestie
of
some
Souldiers
who
had
robbed
him
of
a
Cow
;
his
Majestie
himselfe
in
person
rod
along
with
him
to
find
out
the
parties
:
when
hee
shewed
his
Majestie
where
the
Cow
was
notwithstanding
the
Captaine
&
Lieutenant
excused
the
partie
,
he
caused
him
to
be
brought
to
the
Provost
,
and
delivered
vp
into
the
hands
of
Iustice
;
But
there
was
earnest
intercession
made
for
him
by
the
Commanders
and
Captaines
vnto
his
Majestie
,
who
with
compassion
spake
thus
vnto
the
Delinquent
:
My
sonne
,
it
is
better
that
I
should
punish
you
,
than
that
for
your
mis-deedes
the
wrath
of
God
and
his
Iudgments
should
fall
vpon
me
,
and
thee
,
and
all
of
vs
.
From
Norimberg
the
2.
of
August
,
1632.
Concerning
my
dolefull
estate
I
doubt
not
but
all
the
world
is
therewith
acquainted
,
In
these
4.
weekes
we
haue
received
no
letters
from
Overland
nor
Augsburg
:
The
Enemy
is
rou●d
about
vs
with
two
great
Armies
,
and
is
enquartered
about
Steyn
,
and
Eyba
,
and
the
same
River
a
mile
from
this
Citie
,
and
as
farre
from
the
Army
.
We
can
daily
see
the
Enemy
swarue
to
and
from
our
Steeple
.
The
skirmishes
continue
daily
,
and
many
Spies
are
brought
prisoners
hither
:
which
Spies
are
pub●ikely
examined
,
by
which
meanes
we
know
all
the
Enemies
designes
and
enterprises
.
Yesterday
was
brought
prisoner
here
the
Generall
Quarter-Maister
of
Wallensteyn
,
who
had
the
bed-role
or
Catalogue
about
him
of
Wallensteyns
and
the
Duke
of
Bavarias
whole
Armie
;
he
is
daily
served
at
Table
with
6.
silver
dishes
of
good
cheare
,
and
2.
bottels
of
wine
;
he
and
his
doe
all
complaine
of
extreame
hunger
and
want
in
their
Armies
.
His
Majestie
of
Sweden
shews
himselfe
wondrous
curteous
and
loving
towards
all
the
Citizens
here
,
&
remaines
exceeding
couragious
.
His
Army
is
very
well
fortified
,
insomuch
,
that
it
is
impossible
for
any
enemy
to
raise
the
same
,
or
almost
to
oppose
him
;
notwithstanding
his
Army
alone
is
none
of
the
greatest
.
The
Swedes
doe
daily
defeate
some
of
the
Enemies
Convoyes
:
and
although
I
confesse
indeed
by
reason
of
these
troubles
and
turmoiles
our
trading
ceaseth
,
yet
God
bee
praised
:
wee
are
exceeding
well
provided
of
all
things
.
It
doth
very
much
animate
and
comfort
vs
,
that
his
Majestie
is
so
chearie
and
tender
of
vs
,
and
doth
so
couragiously
protect
vs
,
and
establisheth
decent
and
good
order
overall
.
Another
from
Norimberg
of
later
date
,
wherein
is
declared
the
whole
present
estate
of
both
Armies
.
Walsteyn
and
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
doe
now
onely
striue
and
endevour
to
intercept
and
cut
off
all
victualls
provision
and
convoyes
from
his
Majestie
of
Sweden
,
as
yet
remayning
within
his
Fortifications
before
Norimbergh
.
Wherfore
the
better
to
accomplish
his
ends
,
the
said
Wallensteyn
by
force
hath
taken
a
strong
Castle
Liechtenaw
not
farre
from
Anspach
and
4.
miles
from
Norimbergh
which
Fort
otherwise
,
is
vnder
the
power
of
the
Norimbergers
.
The
King
to
revenge
himselfe
and
to
bee
euen
with
and
requite
and
serue
his
enemy
with
the
same
sauce
did
inquire
and
found
out
where
the
store
or
Magazen
of
corne
was
reserued
for
Wallersteyn
&
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
to
wit
at
●ryenstaat
)
which
is
a
Citie
in
the
vpper
Palatinate
situated
in
a
very
moorish
place
,
fiue
miles
from
Norimbergh
,
and
2.
from
Newmarch
which
also
is
in
the
superior
Palatinate
.
Wherefore
with
1000.
Muskets
,
and
some
troupes
of
horse
,
in
the
night
they
went
to
Karnbergh
,
two
miles
distance
from
the
towne
of
Fryenstadt
,
and
from
thence
he
sent
a
certaine
Colonell
farther
)
namely
to
Fryenstadt
.
Who
assisted
with
his
souldiers
,
and
hauing
hung
some
Patars
at
the
gate
of
the
Citie
broke
them
open
,
entred
,
and
puts
some
to
the
sword
.
Hee
there
burnt
a
great
multitude
of
Corne
,
which
was
enough
to
supply
Wallensteyns
Armie
for
two
moneths
together
.
Among
other
victuals
,
there
was
70000.
pounds
of
bread
;
the
Swedish
brought
with
them
400.
Bullockes
,
and
500.
Horses
to
Norimberg
.
In
their
returne
the
Commander
,
a
Colonell
of
Wallensteyns
Armie
,
with
3.
Regiments
comes
towards
the
King
,
whose
number
of
Souldiers
did
not
exceed
Wallensteyns
Colonels
number
,
to
wit
Spaar
.
The
Kings
Majestie
with
his
forces
behaved
himselfe
so
valorous
and
strong
▪
that
many
Ensignes
were
taken
by
them
,
and
400.
of
Spaars
forces
were
slain
,
and
an
hundred
Officers
or
more
,
beside
the
Commander
Spaar
himselfe
were
taken
prisoners
.
The
King
lost
40.
men
,
and
one
Captaine
,
with
two
Officers
.
Before
the
King
came
to
Fryenstadt
,
a
certaine
Major
was
sent
before
(
as
it
is
the
manner
of
warre
)
to
spie
out
the
wayes
and
devices
of
the
Enemy
.
This
Major
by
chance
and
vnawarres
fell
into
the
hands
of
the
aforesaid
Spaar
,
and
was
taken
prisoner
.
Spaar
presently
questions
with
him
,
&
askes
him
where
is
the
King
?
the
Major
answers
,
he
is
hard
by
▪
what
Army
is
hee
provided
withall
?
he
answers
,
with
some
Troupes
of
horse
;
hath
he
no
Musketiers
?
sayd
Spaar
:
no
,
answers
the
other
;
then
certainely
it
is
the
King
said
Spaar
,
and
he
shall
presently
be
in
my
hands
:
but
it
was
not
long
after
ere
Spaar
found
the
contrary
by
woefull
experience
,
for
hee
fell
into
the
Ditch
,
which
he
had
digged
for
another
.
Moreouer
because
his
Maiesty
for
the
maintaining
of
such
huge
and
great
armies
hath
need
of
great
store
of
moneyes
he
hath
for
a
certaine
time
borrowed
480000.
Ryxdollers
of
the
Citizens
of
Norembergh
,
to
the
end
that
he
may
giue
content
in
part
to
the
soldiers
,
who
otherwise
(
wee
know
)
are
not
so
ready
to
fight
,
but
these
moneyes
being
distributed
amongst
the
soldiers
of
his
Maiesty
they
are
all
of
them
exceedingly
animated
and
forward
to
fight
vpon
all
occasions
.
For
other
necessaries
the
Kings
Armyes
are
supplyed
from
the
City
Norembergh
,
out
of
the
Magazine
,
as
Bread
,
Powder
,
shot
,
great
O●dnance
and
the
like
necessaries
.
At
Oxfurt
(
which
is
an
Imperiall
City
)
distant
6.
miles
from
Norimbergh
,
there
is
a
coniunction
made
of
these
Armies
,
to
wit
that
of
the
Duke
of
Weymar
,
the
Chancellor
Oxensterne
,
the
Landgraue
of
Hessen
,
and
sixe
Regiments
of
Saxons
,
the
number
of
those
Armies
being
all
ioyned
in
one
,
doe
make
aboue
36000.
men
.
The
City
before
mentioned
Freynstadt
,
with
another
chiefe
place
named
Holnsteyn
were
formerly
by
the
gift
of
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
conferred
vpon
Mons:
Tilly
,
for
they
are
places
of
great
note
,
and
strength
,
and
great
reuenues
,
to
the
end
that
those
charges
raised
might
bee
sufficient
meanes
for
Tilly
to
establish
and
reserue
his
Authority
but
not
onely
Tilly
but
also
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
himselfe
,
are
stript
&
depriued
of
them
.
For
they
belonged
not
to
them
,
but
by
right
are
due
,
to
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
.
From
Polonia
it
is
written
hither
,
that
the
Coronation
of
the
King
is
deferred
vntill
the
17.
day
of
September
.
It
is
beleeued
that
the
eldest
sonne
of
the
defunct
King
will
bee
chosen
.
All
the
Euangelicall
and
Protestants
in
Polonia
,
are
on
that
side
,
because
hee
hath
promised
vnto
them
,
all
free
exercise
of
Religion
,
and
a
new
Donatiue
,
and
a
confirmation
of
all
their
auncient
priuiledges
.

The
assembly
and
generall
meeting
of
the
Senators
and
deputies
of
the
Nobility
at
Warson
in

is
ended
and
another
day
of
meeting
is
prescribed
in
September
the

for
the
choise
of
a
new
King
,
which
generall
Dyet
,
will
last
(
according
to
auncient
custome
)
sixe
weekes
.
The
common
opinion
is
,
that
the
eldest
sonne
Vladislaus
without
the
competition
of
any
other
will
obtaine
the
Crowne
.
The
Protestants
are
much
bent
that
way
,
but
the
Papists
haue
much
opposed
the
same
.
The
Papists
did
also
oppose
and
hinder
that
liberty
which
the
Protestants
expected
to
haue
beene
granted
them
,
in
the
late
assembly
,
and
now
they
must
content
themselues
with
a
larger
certaintie
.
Concerning
the
warre
in
Muscouia
,
it
seemes
that
all
is
there
againe
appeased
.
Onely
in
Polonia
there
is
great
feare
of
an
inuasion
by
the
Tartarians
,
but
there
is
good
order
and
prouision
made
to
preuent
that

First
the

Doubtlesse

From

The
fresh
Army
at
this

it
seemes
that
they

sustained
some

In

It
is
supposed
that
they
are
marching

In
summe
,
I
am
sure
we
suffer

and
those
that
did
invite

call
him
downe
doe
draw

The
defeate
which
the
Swedes
haue
lately
giuen
to
our

continues
and
is
confirmed
,

daily

are
made

whither

some
suppose
it
is
for

London
,
August
24.
We
heare
from
the
Leaguer
by
a
Merchant
of
good
note
which
is
come
ouer
who
heard
the
Prince
of
Orange
himselfe
speake
it
,
that
seeing
they
of
Cullin
did
suffer
Papenheym
to
passe
by
them
.
If
the
Lords
the
States
would
not
reuenge
it
,
that
then
out
of
his
owne
meanes
he
would
doe
it
,
although
he
left
himselfe
neuer
a
penny
.
The
reason
is
because
the
States
haue
shewed
themselues
Neutrall
vnto
Cullin
and
they
so
perfidious
to
the
States
in
suffering
the
enemy
to
passe
.
It
is
reported
that
Walestine
hath
sent
to
the
King
of
Sweden
seuerall
messengers
,
summoning
him
to
a
battaile
,
but
the
King
,
deferred
to
fight
with
him
,
till
he
was
better
fitted
for
him
,
yet
still
Wal
stine
required
a
Battaile
:
alleaging
that
hee
the
rather
desired
to
fight
with
him
,
because
he
held
him
to
be
the
great
Captaine
of
the
Christian
World
,
and
that
if
hee
were
overcome
by
the
greatest
Captaine
,
it
could
bee
no
dishonor
to
him
:
But
if
hee
did
overcome
him
,
then
the
greater
glory
,
would
be
his
,
that
he
had
preuailed
against
the
greatest
Captaine
of
the
Christian
World
,
and
it
is
reported
,
that
the
day
appointed
by
them
both
for
the
battaile

mile
from
him
:
By
all
likelyhood
it
cannot
bee
long
before
there
happen
a
bloody
encounter
.
Yesterday
both
in
this
City
,
and
the
Kings
Army
,
(
as
wee
did
lately
giue
thankes
publikely
,
for
the
victory
about
Freynsladt
,
so
)
wee
had
a
day
of
Fasting
,
and
Praying
,
for
his
Maiesties
future
good
successe
.
And
this
day
,
his
Maiesty
hath
distributed
the
monies
amongst
his
soldiers
,
which
monies
hee
borrowed
of
the
Citizens
of
Norimberg
,
and
Franckford
,
for
a
yeare
,
with
6.
per
cent
.
interest
.
So
that
the
souldiers
being
they
haue
receiued
pay
,
are
the
more
animated
:
to
what
they
must
ere
long
vndertake
.
There
are
also
diuers
other
collections
made
for
the
King
of
Swedens
forces
.
I
trust
that
now
the
King
is
so
well
provided
and
hath
gotten
all
his
forces
together
hee
will
shortly
adventure
vpon
the
Enemie
,
and
indeed
they
must
fight
,
for
the
victuals
begins
to
fall
very
short
,
insomuch
,
that
some
are
ready
to
dye
for
hunger
.
And
in
the
Enemies
Camp
,
is
farre
greater
want
then
in
the
Kings
Army
.
Wee
in
the
City
want
no
Corne
,
onely
wee
haue
not
Mills
enough
to
grind
the
same
.
FINIS
