THREE GREAT OVERTHROVVES ONE In the Palatinate against Monsieur Tilley the Duke of Bauaria's Generall Giuen by the King of Bohemia himselfe being in Person in the same Battell with Sir Horatio Vere but not Count Mansfield as is reported hee being at the same time in Spiers THE OTHER Before Haggenaw against Leopaldus Forces the Emperours Brother by Count Mansfields Garrisons left in the same Citie THE LAST In Languedock in France against the Kings Forces since Soubizes Defeat by his Brother the Duke of Rohan who hath taken Memorancy the Admirall Prisoner Collected out of two Letters the one sent from Heydelburgh the other from Mainhime by an expresse Post that arriued here on May day at Night And now published this third of May MDCXXII MATTERS CONCERNING THE PALATINATE WITH THE DEFEAT of Monsieur Tilley in the Palatinate and the Duke of Memorancy in France THere are two sorts of men in the world compared to tame and wilde beasts and these are flatterers and detractors and that worthily For what vice may he predominant in a Prince or Common wealth which a flatterer cannot guild ouer with the faire appearance and colours of vertue and what businesse can present it selfe on the stage of this world but a detractor will calumniate and desire it which is more apparant at this instant in the combustions of Europe then euer was heard of in many ages for how many be there that sooth vp the humour of some kings besides the Iesuites whose profession is blinde ignorance and superstitious zeale euen to set forward impietie to stand vpon termes of soueraigntie and imperiousnesse as is great reason in Monarchies though the subiects be slaughtered the countrey deuasted the people mangled the peace dilacerated the Churches abandoned religion defaced and God blasphemed and how many be there that discredit the cause of distressed Princes and the thriuing of religious businesses although the finger of God doth point it out that fairer daies shall follow stormy weather which is most apparant concerning the Bohemian affaires and the Palatinates recouery wherein both flatterer and detractor step on the stage of this world to act their Scenes with deceitfull hurts and malitious intents The flatterer carryed away with outward showes of the Papacy and Catholicke Princes will not apprehend that there can be any determination of their greatnesse but cry out with Nabuchadnezer to worship the golden image of their Monarchy The detractor shaking his head and biting his lip at any successe shall happen and deriding the businesse as if the Gyants attempted to fight against heauen Thus haue they magnified the house of Austria and the proceedings of the Empire thus haue they discredited the King of Bohemias attempts and set strange characters on his actions But as in all disputations there is a Moderator so would I might now meete with such men as will stand Neuters and neither preuaricate iudgement nor ouerthrow veritie and if the higher matters are too transcendent for their capacitie yet let them giue way to true relations and honest reports without scornes or cachinations but because I shall neuer haue my expectation satisfied in this kind in regard of the multiplicy of humours in a common wealth I leaue them all to bee deceiued themselues or deceiue others and onely apply my selfe in this discourse to such men who out of ciuill honestie entertaine good newes with ioy and welcome bad with commiseration and pittie making this vse of both that God is the manifester of his owne iudgements and mercy to all the world And so to the businesse in hand and to tell you what hath hapned of late in the Palatinate since the King of Bohemia came there and chanced in other places as the cause hath thriued and men haue had their mindes stirred vp with good affections Know then that the fifteenth of our Aprill and the fiue and twentieth Stilo nouo 1622. there came letters from Stuchgaret that a thousand horse and foure thousand foote of Duke Weymers of Saxony arriued at Laffen ouer the Neckar who brought word that the next day there will be also 3000. at Rottenburg for the Marquesse of Baden who cōmeth in person to set forward the Bohemian cause But the same day there was a mixture with as bad newes for they will haue it that Generall Tilley came to neather Gemunds a prety great towne and as hee serued the peasants in the villages so he vsed the people in this place killing all the souldiers slaughtring most part of the Burghers torturing the preachers and sparing neither Captaine nor officers nay the very schollers were subiect to his fury so that it seemed he was either blinde with ignorant zeale or mad with intemperate rage A little before Leopaldus had sent downe a 1000. souldiers into his countrey who had passage euen by permission of the people and some towne garrisond with Mansfields men to march ouer the bridge toward Haggenaw and I must confesse that though Leopaldus hath beene much disappointed in his exspectation for diuers troopes out of Italie and money from Spaine yet came their souldiers dayly from Austria and certaine companies of Swiss are ready to marshall a prety army in Alsatia had not the the garrison of Haggenaw made a fearefull salley vpon some scattered troopes killed diuers souldiers and brought eight Captains of horse into the towne which when the rest vnderstood whom Mansfield had placed in the villages and loath to be behinde their fellowes in glorious exploytes and profitable booty they likewise drew to a head of three thousand and approched a village in which were fifteen-hundred of Leopaldus men whom they not onely frighted with an alarum but discomfited with a great slaughter taking some prisoners and many armes but you must know in these disasters it is farre better here then with Monsieur Tilley because the souldiers haue an ordinary ransome and vpon surprisals there is an ordinary deliuery wherein and whereby Count Mansfield hath gotten such a reputation for the faire sparings of all people that submit or yeeld him contribution that the better sort commended his discretion and military customes and inferiors pray for his successe and augmentation of honour especially clap their hands for ioy when they heare him cry out for the Cospell and the King of Bohemia Yea I will be bold to say that these warres haue made more true hearted Protestants then all the flatteries of Peace and wantonnesse of prosperitie could euer doe Much about this time and here I pray you pardon me for precedencie of Dayes or Actions for I would be loth to tye you or my selfe to such searches it is sufficient that you shall receiue the Relations fully honestly and truely as they chaunced And so I say much about this time Count Mansfield came to Germishem with three Regiments whither also repaired Monsieur Rauillau to treat with him about matter of great importance especially a Truce but hee now answered that hee could not determine of any thing

who came so forward and aduancing with the rest against the disranked pikes that could not so easily be brought into forme and fashion againe and so without dwelling long on the businesse because they continued not long in the skirmish Tilleyes battle was ouerthrowne and he himselfe had much adoe to escape then followed a strange slaughter for there were perished and taken prisoners betweene 5. or 6. thousand men but most of them slaine and last of all it ended with spoyle for the souldiers tooke away their armes and stripped their bodyes leauing them naked to the fowles of the ayre Thus is Tilley escaped and therefore we can say no more of him yet onely Count Mansfield is now a subiect to talke of and no question will run in some violent course of glory if the Emperour doe not speedily send more forces and raise a greater army for in my conscience this victory hath elated him more then all his former proceedings in the Bishopricke of Spires or Leopaldus countrey to which I haue a faire way of beleefe in regard that heretofore Mansfield was willing to hearken to a parley and entertained the Emperours messages and Letters about a peace but now he gaue it out it was onely to winne time and to compasse his endes which were to serue the King of Bohemia and his comming into the Palatinate by whom he would be both directed and commanded and without whose permission he would not so much as consent to a truce or cessation of armes At last as you haue heard the Palatine comes vnto him and is welcommed in euery place and applauded of all the people so that it is doubted hee will stand vpon the higher termes because hee hath the stronger force as for the Spanish Garrisons they are firme and well prouided yet I see no reason for their continuance except Bauaria bee supplyed and a new order taken to renue the warre For whether warre or peace I am resolued that Prince Frederick will not suffer vs thus to remaine in his countrey and be as thorns in his sides To this effect was the Letter from Crutsnach written by one of the Garrison and therefore I am perswaded it was impartiall and according to the Businesse so that there is hope for the generall Cause to thriue and the particular Businesse of the Palatinate to cheare vs with a new recouerie And thus much for those Affaires Heere is also another Letter come secretly from Paris concerning the Kings Forces in Languedock which I suppose is very conuenient to be published according to the probabilitie of the matter and the fearefulnesse of the Time It is not my purpose to dispute of the Actions of Princes but to lament the poore estate of Protestants It cannot bee hid from the eares of the World that is not hid from the eyes of the People and so as rumour hath told vs of the distresses of the Protestants of France good thoughts haue instructed vs to wish the pacification of their Troubles and pray for the diuersion of the Kings anger against them with the cessation of the Warre But it will not be And therefore for my part I referre the Businesse to God who can cure the wounds of his Church and comfort the hearts of his People which haue of late especially in France been more sadded then euer before in regard there is a Booke published in Paris of Monsieur Subizes defeat going to Rochel whom the King followed in person and slew many of his company this Relation filled their soules with griefe and their eyes with teares and in such a manner the sorrow for the same encreased that they would not admit of recouerie and ioy although they presently heard that Monsieur Duke de Rohan Subizes Brother being in the field for the Protestants in Languedock had giuen Duke Memorancy the Admirall of France a great Ouerthrow which is thus confirmed After the Iesuites had preuayled with the French King to goe against Rochel and prosecute the Businesse of Montalbon the Souldiers were mustered in euery place and the Generall of the Armie proclaymed nothing but Warre and Destruction yet was there Oppositions against them and the Protestants of Prouince and Languedock well hoped that Monsieur Desguiers would take their Cause in hand and defend their Religion which whether he will or no is yet doubtfull and so hangs in suspence But Monsieur de Rohan would not tarry for his resolution and raysed such Forces as he could to supply Mountabon and defend the Countrey against whom was sent Duke Memorancy as Generall of the Kings Army with other Lords and Gentlemen of qualitie who came forward with a goodly Army and too goodly if it had pleased God otherwise because it was against their Brethren But Kings command and subiects must obey Mountmorancy comes forward apace and Mountaban was afraid of a new obsession but it proued otherwise For Rohan was couragious and presumed on the Cause though it were against his Prince so in plaine termes as they say they fell to a Battaile in which all things were ordered belonging to Martiall Discipline but that the Lord of Battailes did disorder the Businesse For comming to blowes and ioyning with furie Memorancy gaue way and Rohan tooke the aduantage yet the fight continued long and till the maine Rout was too too apparant there seemed no difference But at last as no extremitie can last the Victorie fell to the Protestants and the Admirall was taken prisoner with two Brothers of his Bloud but one of them died of his wounds and many other were slaine out-right The Letter sayes fiue thousand the Rumor more but the Religious heart sayes there were too many of these considering the Businesse was betweene Friends and Kindred Countreymen and of one Nation Christians and Neighbors and not betweene Strangers and Enemies to the Kingdome This is that wee receiue from forraine Parts and this is that wee hearken after in our owne Countrey euery one wishing well to the King of Bohemia's proceedings euery one praying truely for the afflicted Churches abroad yea cursing the Iesuites for such a Doctrine that bellowes out nothing but Warre and Death Slaughter and Reuenge Crueltie and Spoyle when yet the Sauiour of the World bad Peter put vp his Sword and feed his Flocke rode with Hosanna and Palmes to Ierusalem and not with Armies and Triumph submitted to Scornes and Buffetting and did not reuenge himselfe And yet these men dare seduce the Princes of the World and blaspheme the God of Heauen who laughes them to scorne for the present and will in time to come cast them in a Bed of Affliction with the Whore of Babylon FINIS
