Pax optima rerum Quas homini nouisse datum est pax vna triumphis Innumeris potior pax custodire salutem Et ciues aequare potens Silius Italic lib. 1. bel punicum A TRVE RELATION OF THE DAILY CONFLICTS and proceedings betweene the great Turkes Armie and his Maiestie of POLAND to the end of the Warres THere shall neede no preamble nor insinuation to this discourse more then that you haue had already a published Pamphlet of the newes of Poland shewing plainely the occasion of the Turkes formidable preparation against that Country with his descending in person into Walachia and comming to many skirmishes and battailes affording as many rumors of the seuerall euents and successes in the same insomuch that many reported Poland was ouer-runne and Sigismond slaine Yet there is but one truth which that booke in generall sets out yet so farre short of satisfaction that it comes not neere any particular indeede whereby men went away as if they had onely looked on the outward painting and brauery of a house without once being admitted to ouer-looke how necessary and conuenient it was in the inward roomes Therefore I will promise you amends though in a plaine fashion and this relation shall supply the defects of the other For I will presently come to the purpose and begin with the beginning of September after the Polacks had entrenched themselues and the Turkes and Tartars came as neere them as might be Know then that the second of September stilo nou● the Turkes and Tartars encamped themselues by vs within a mile or halfe a mile and the same day began hotly vpon vs brauing our trenches which we would not endure but came to blowes and made a skirmish in which eight hundred Turks perished as by many Captiues and Prisoners which we tooke in the flight was afterward confessed besides such as were slaine neere hand in the charges and farre off with the Bullets both of our field Peeces and Muskatieres on our side perished Tarouits and Bochdan two Commaunders of Light-horse and the Lord Lauizza of the Cohort of the Camp-Master was shot in the foot with a great Bullet two Masters of the best men of Armes slaine and aboue 30. other of seuerall Companies hurt The third of September they proceeded in the same manner and we with some light excursions set vpon them till at last they burst out in three seuerall parts against our trenches especially where our Cossacks were quartred and so came to the very out-skirts of our Polish Army who had command to keepe themselues within their Tents and Trenches and annoy the Turkes with their great Artillery and so we prospered for that time driuing them into their Campe wherein by Sunne-setting they quickly retired the same euening our noble Prince passed ouer the Riuer and came into our Campe with all manner of comfort and courage but the Army he brought with him with prouision of warlike Ordnance and other Munition necessary for vs could not come at vs by reason the Bridge brake by the force of the water which not three dayes before they had builded vp and erected The fourth of September by the Sunne rising the Emperour of Turkes would needs in person be a beholder of the skirmish and so in a manner approched the Campe of the Cossacks bringing many field Peeces and mounting such which they call Ianscharki and so a great battaile began which lasted full fiue houres For the Cossacks much endamnified by the Artillary made so braue a salley vpon the Turkes that they draue them backe by maine force and put a number of them to the sword insomuch that they altered their determination and brought their Ianskarks before the quarter where the Camp-Master was lodged but here it was too hot for them and it did not succeed as they expected so they charged the Cossacks once againe riding by our trenches in a brauing manner and comming vpon them with an insulting violence which yet prospered not as they expected whereupon not an houre before Sunne setting they charged them more violently but God was our defence at this time For the Cossacks made so braue a salley that they put the Turkes to flight euen to their Tents with such a slaughter and such a successe that they surprised their Artillery tooke many Tents and caried with them much furniture and so returned before dark night with the booty to their own Camp and lodging The fift of December we were quiet on both sides For the Turkes remoued their quarter a little more backward yet with full resolution to set vpon vs againe as by many prisoners we tooke was confessed whereupon we fell to our accustomed prayers to God and about noone there fell a raine and so there was nothing attempted that day but that we prepared our selues for the expugnation The sixt of September there fled vnto vs a Cossack one of the inhabitants by the riuer of Danubius who had beene seauen yeare in seruitude with the Turkes and affirmed that there were slaine 2000. Ianissaries in the last skirmishes and expupuation of our Camp that the great Turke himselfe would lead the whole Army in person except such as he must needs leaue for the defence of his Camp and the security of his cattell that already there began to be a great dearth amongst them For foure pound of bread was worth 24. Aspers of siluer and a quantity of Barly or other Corne equalling the halfe bushell of the measure of Camenensis was valued at seauen Florins and 15. Aspers and that many discontents appeared amongst them already The same day there came also vnto vs a Dutch man who had falne into the hands of the Turkes as a prisoner with a Captaine of the Cossacks and he assured vs that on Friday Asis Bassaw a man of great reputation among the Turkes was struck in the forehead with a Bullet and so slaine and that so many Turkes were ouerthrowne in the last seuerall on-sets vpon the Cossacks that they began to flye euery where from their quarter and Cabbines he also related the cause why the Turks were so quiet which was by reason of a larges or donation of money the Turke bestowed vpon such who had behaued themselues well in the last enterprise preparing for new assaults and this was the truth of the matter The seauenth of September the Turkes came vpon vs againe in the after noone and very outragiously

Turkes the Mufty and a Doctor of Law but on our side by Stanislane Zorarmiski Castellan of Belsen and Iames of Sobniski the Palatine Sonne of Lubelski in the name of the Kings Maiesty and of the Generall Stanislane Lubomirski Captaine of Zandomir with the other Commissioners deputed Thus gentle Reader thou hast likewise the last Letter with the conditions of peace as they were then ratified by the Turks and King of Poles Commissioners there were also read in publique the old contracts containing the limitation of their Kingdomes and the mentioning their friends and confederates with all tributary Prouinces and many other things impertinent at these times all which I haue omitted to trouble you withall resoluing only to satisfie you with a plaine truth of the end of the Warre and to tell you a wonder in the making the truce the vse is meerely to set out the glory of God who can turne the frame of heauen about and bring that to passe with easinesse which the wisedome of man thinketh impossible and the pollicy of Kingdomes determineth to contriue another way and to discredite the ostentation of Princes who out of their owne presumption can boast of great matters but when the cause comes to bee decided in the Court of Heauen they are laughed to scorne and a contrary sentence condemneth them as delinquents to the Maiestie of God and offenders against their owne soules and consciences Since this I haue also receiued other Letters amongst the Marchants from Constantinople dated the 10. of December which make mention of the Grand Signieurs being at Andrinopolis but is not yet come to the great Citie onely the Haga of Ianizaries and certaine Officers of the Seralio are arriued to prepare the Pallace and clense the Towne that both Court and Citie may be fit for his entertainment And amongst the rest there is one thing most remarkable that his Vnkle Mustapha when he was deposed did Prophesie of this peace and in a manner foretolde that the Ottaman Empire was at the highest and should no further enlarge the sunne but rather decline and see their renowne shadowed with malignity of time But because his Spirit was not answerable to his greatnes the Ianizaries neglected him nor his wisdome for lacke of publicke conuersation as being alwayes kept Prisoner satisfactory to the gouernment hee was the sooner put downe and so as yet he remaines vnstrangled and peraduenture vnrespected There now remaines no more but for the Poles to fortefie their confines stand vpon their Guard for all this Contract of amity and treatice of purification considering the fry of Nations that lye Eastward from them who either are enemies to Christian Religion as Idolaters and Mahumetans or indeed of no Religion as running the violent race of Sauagenes and beastiallity all which good care and vigilancy will preuent considering as I haue often said they are naked men haue no Discipline and are to seeke when they come to Trenches and Fortifications Yet for all this good successe and prosperous euent of the Warre I would neither haue them too presumptuous or elated as though their owne Arme of flesh had done it nor tim●rous or exanimated though they heare of the Turkes preparation against them For it is not the sound of 2. or 300000. of men can conquer Countries and Kingdomes but the extraordinary valour of well disciplined Souldiers nor are they likewise to boast with the Syreans that they can licke vp the dust of Samaria and transferre the Diadems of Princes at their pleasure but to know there is a God of Battailes that made Gideons 300. ouerrunne the Midianites and will doe wonders for his Church in despight of the watchings of the Dragon yea I make no doubt but that the same God which hath deliuered Christendome from the Turkes excursions as you haue heard will also deliuer the Protestant Princes from the Popes Curses and Antichristian threatnings as you shall shortly see And so I end with the Poet O melibace Deus nobis haec otia faecit Namque erit ille mihi semper Deus illius vram Saepe tener nostris ad ouilibus imbuet agnus FINIS
