GOOD NEWES FOR THE KING OF BOHEMIA OR A Certaine Relation of the last and great Ouerthrow giuen by the Duke of Brunswicke to the Bishop of Cullen and Duke of Bauariaes Forces wherein was rumored that Brunswicke was slaine With The Proceedings of Count Mansfield since his last comming into the Palatinate and since the Emperours Ambassadour came into England with other Accidents both in the Palatinate and else-where Sent of purpose by a person of account the eight day of Aprill and now published the seuenteenth 1622. Printed 1622. A RELATION of the Duke of Brunswickes and Mansfields proceedings against the enemies Forces in the Palatinate Gentle Reader BEcause I see that the generall Currantos coming weekely ouer haue rather stifled their owne credites then giuen satisfaction vnto the world and that yet men throng as fast to heare Newes as they beyond the Seas throng ouer and huddle together all manner of things to please the people both here and else-where I could not chuse but take pitty of their longings and desires that are truly affectionate to Religion and the Cause of the Palatinate and so expose vnto thee whosoeuer thou art this Relation of credite which came to my hands the twelfth of Aprill wherein you shall see a modest declaration of the affaires of Germany and the tumultuous proceedings of such Princes as either wish well to the King of Bohemia or suppose themselues wronged by the Emperours imperiousnesse and Bauariaes ambitious hastinesse to vsurpe anothers inheritance and so I fall to the matter as I finde it thus written I will not trouble you my selfe nor contrarious humors yea such poore Papisticall Newes-mongers that will haue Sluce lost and Brunswicke slaine before euer they were in danger with former repetitions of matters already published nor once dispute of the motiues causes effects alterations or any other circumstances of the warres eyther in Bohemia or the Palatinate but come roundly to the present businesse and tell you what is now a doing and what is likely to follow Euer since the Duke of Saxony beganne to repine at Bauariaes intrusion into the honour of these actions and the Emperour seemed partially affected to his seruice many Princes misliked the same and by way of commiseration thought it too much that the King of Bohemia should be vtterly ouerthrowne and therefore as you haue participated out of diuers Discourses they haue recollected themselues and thus proceeded toward his reliefe and supportation whereas it hath beene first generally reported that Hungaria is reduced to the Emperours iurisdiction and that a League of Amitie hath beene contracted betweene him and Bethelem Gabor there is no such matter but rather the contrary For the Prince of Transiluania calling the King of Bohemia Gossip by reason he had christned him a childe hath protested neuer to forsake him till he see him one way or another re-established Indeed I must confesse he hath abstained from crowning himselfe king of Hungarie vpon a certaine vow he would neuer be inuested till the Spanish garrisons and Emperors forces were put out of Rub Camora other places yea till Preshurgh it selfe were taken and cleered Secondly the Marquesse of Ieggendorff keeping the fields and villages of Morauia for the vse of the King of Bohemia cleane contrary to the feare and distresse he hath bene put in by the Emperours forces hath giuen him seuerall defeates and approoued himselfe a faithfull friend and seruitor Thirdly the repinings of Prague and some other townes which are still vnder the King of Bohemiaes protection haue bene greater against the Emperour and his forces of late dayes then euer before Fourthly the Duke of Wittenberg scarce named in other Relations hauing mustered some forces for the defence of his Countrey and commaunded by the Emperour to vnite them to Bauaria hath answered plainely That as they are mustered by the aduice of his Counsell and Lords they are likewise to be disposed by them who neuer had occasion of vnkindnes with the Palatine and therefore will not now beginne Fiftly the Princes of the Vnion perceiuing what a fearefull thing it is to let an enemy set footing in an others Countrey especially to fortifie himselfe as the Spaniard hath done in the Palatinate are generall repiners at their owne first slackenesse and so resolue to recouer their much distressed honours by some new and glorious attempts in behalfe of their friend and confederate Sixtly the Marquesse of Boden and Lantsgraue of Hesse standing hitherto as it were at a stay though they euer had good harts wil now draw their friend together and be seene in the field Seuenthly the Duke of Brunswicke comming but first into the Low countries to salute the Queene of Bohemia at the Hage offered them his seruice and was not onely accepted but supplied with men and money by the Sluces and so went directly into Westphalia and by degrees like a ball of snow waxed bigger and bigger increased his forces so that he attempted the Dioces of Cullen proceeded in many glorioue actions which you haue heard of and which haue indeed made him renowned ouer the world Last of all Count Mansfield though some vnkindnesse at the first passed between the Prince of Anhalt and him and all for the loue of the King of Bohemia hath yet prospered so well that he came round about the countries performed such actions of admirations that there are few kingdomes of Europe which haue not bin filled with the relations of his proceedings and euer memorable exploites so that he hath reduced diuers Prouinces vnder his obedience and now stands like a worke impregnable with a mighty army and most willing heart to set forward the king of Bohemiaes designes These things are in the general thus set downe to shew you the cause why the Emperor without controuersie is weary of the warre and suspects that his friends wil neuer be able to withstand so great forces men exasperated euery where against him not so much for his owne cause and great spirit in maintaining his honour renowne as hearkening to the Sirens songs of the Iesuites who in trueth care neyther for him nor any Prince whatsoeuer nor for the slaughter of the people disturbance of their gouernments deuastation of their countries and vtter subuersion of their quietnes but for their owne ends superintendency euen ouer the Pope himself whereupon he hath wisely foreseene greater mischiefes so doth politikely goe about to preuent the same by sending an Ambassador into England for pacification if it may be of these troubles but of this no more til Time produce a fairer birth make knowne the successe of that Embassie with all other things depending I will now go forward to the businesse in hand which depends on the actions of the Duke of Brunswicke and Count Mansfield who haue beene in present imployment euen since the Emperors Ambassadour went into England and most wonderfully set forward the King of Bohemiaes affaires so that as far as
