We
Command
yee
to
Greet
the
Emperor
Leopold
,
in
Case
he
desire
it
,
and
you
are
a
Friend
to
our
Majesty
whose
Power
and
Will
we
have
extended
very
farr
:
you
have
for
some
time
past
acted
to
our
prejudice
,
and
violated
our
Friendship
;
tho'
We
have
not
offended
you
either
by
War
or
otherwise
,
yet
you
have
taken
secret
advice
with
other
Kings
,
and
your
Councils
how
to
shake
off
your
Yoak
;
in
which
you
have
proceeded
very
indiscreetly
;
and
thereby
you
have
exposed
your
people
to
fear
and
danger
,
who
have
nothing
to
expect
now
but
Death
,
which
you
have
brought
upon
your selves
;
for
I
declare
I
will
make
my self
your
Master
,
&
pursue
you
from
the
East
to
the
West
,
and
extend
my
Majesty
to
the
End
of
the
Earth
:
in
the
procedure
of
all
which
you
shall
find
my
Power
exerted
to
your
extream
prejudice
,
&
shall
feel
the
dreadfull
effects
of
my
Wrath
;
and
since
you
have
put
your
hope
in
the
strength
of
some
Towns
and
Castles
,
I
have
given
Command
to
overthrow
them
,
and
trample
under
my
Horses
feet
all
that
is
delightful
to
you
leaving
no
roome
hereafter
to
make
friendship
with
me
,
or
suffer
you
any
fortified
place
to
remain
to
put
yotr
trust
in
;
for
I
have
resolved
forthwith
to
destroy
you
and
your
people
,
and
to
dispoyle
you
of
the
German
Empire
after
my
Will
,
Leaving
in
the
Empire
a
remembrance
of
my
dreadfull
Sword
,
that
it
may
publickly
appear
that
I
will
establish
my
Religion
therein
,
and
pursue
your
Crucified
God
:
whose
Wrath
I
fear
not
,
nor
his
Coming
to
defend
,
or
deliver
you
out
of
my
hands
;
but
will
condemn
your
Sacred
Priests
to
the
Plough
,
and
suffer
the
Breasts
of
your
wives
to
be
suckt
by
dogs
and
Beasts
;
you
will
do
well
to
forsake
your
Religion
,
otherwise
I
will
give
Order
to
Consume
you
with
Fire
:
this
is
enough
to
let
you
understand
my
Will
;
if
you
will
be
so
wise
as
to
know
it
.
