Curassiers From Ratisbon the 10. of Iune All is indifferently quiet for the present The March is vp and downe too and fro The Souldiers daily ride a pillaging for bootie Bavaria and the Vpper-Palatinate doe now goe to wrack and are vtterly ruined This Citie is fortified Gods religious worship is here brought to its forme and ancient state and freely exercised Vpon Trinitie Sunday there was Service and Sermons in both the new Churches where many thousand people came together with great joy and exultation to serue God and for very joy many teares were shed The Sermons were much applied vnto the present miserable estate and calamities of the Church From Norimberg the 18. of Iune We receiue newes out of Bohemia that the Elector of Saxon hath forsaken almost all he did possesse in Bohemia since the Citie of Prague was surrendred againe to the Duke of Fridland and that he keepes nothing there but onely the Citie of Eger and the Castle Elenbogen and that he with the rest of his Army is gone backe towards Dresden and to Tirna which are distant one from the other but two leagues Therefore the said Duke of Fridland was resolved to pursue and follow him with his Army consisting of neare 40000. men The said Generall Fridland hath also sent an Army into Silesia against the Elector of Brandenburgs forces there by reason whereof the said Elector doth excuse himselfe that he cannot send any succours to him of Saxon. And therefore it is conceiued that the King of Sweden being made acquainted with all this hath beene induced to change his other designes and resolution Thus his Majestie hath forsaken Bavaria onely he hath well fortified and strengthened with sufficient Garrisons Augsburg Donawert and Raine And that in his absence the promises made vnto him may be the better kept and the monies due at Munchen and els-where for contribution and vpon agreement the surelier payd his Majesty hath caused many persons of qualitie as Burgemaisters Counsellors and other Ecclesiasticall persons to be brought from thence to Augsburg thereto remain as Hostages Two Dukes of Saxon Wimar named as I vnderstand Ernest Bernhard haue beene left by his Majestie about Memmingen and in the vpper part of the Circle of Swaben with an Army of aboue 8000. men And the Duke Administrator of Wirtemberg is to joyne 8000. more with them and withall to obserue together the actions both of Generall Ossa and of the Arch-duke Leopolds forces The said Dukes of Saxon Wymar haue lately defeated the troupes of the Souldiers and Boores commanded by the Earle of Embs taken the said Earle with his Countesse and now they are marching towards Lindaw On this very day his Majest of Sweden is at Furt one league distant from hence where I vnderstand he doth keepe his generall Rendezvous and mustereth 20000. good men In his passage this way he hath taken in Aichstadt because the Magistrates there had not kept the Treatie they made formerly with his Majestie and had never payd the promised Contribution His Majestie hath also beaten with Canons quickly taken in the strong Towne and Castle a good place and of great consequence called Pappenheym belonging to Generall Pappenheym The people that went to see the Mustering doe much extoll how braue an Army it is In this Citie there hath beene made bread for the said Army of aboue 200. bushels of Corne which with other victualles hath beene sent thither There was also made very great preparation for the entertainment of his Majestie for it was hoped he would ha●e come into the Citie as indeede the Magistrates did humbly invite him But he excused himselfe I heare his Majestie amongst other merry words sayd He had at this time a greater desire to see Walsteyn then Norimberg His Majestie hath dispatched from hence 2000. horse towards Coburg there to joyne with other forces to obserue and hinder as some doe suppose Pappenheym if he should endevour to passe There haue beene stayed in this Citie all Waggon-horses for the carriage of the Ordnance towards Forcheim which is sayd shall now be besieged Yea some doe beleeue that the King himselfe hath an enterprise against it But I dare boldly say that no body as yet knoweth what his Majestie intendeth to doe and therefore we must expect till time doth discover it The King of Bohemia hath beene these three dayes before the King of Sweden a rived at Furt in this Citie The Magistrate doth much respect and honour him and hath presented him after the wonted manner with a present of Fish Wine Oats c.

hindring the City Bruxels from being pillaged when the Army was before it and when the Citizens were in such perplexitie and knew not how to yeeld that which was demaunded of them And moreover he himselfe was in such a passion that he plucked the feathers from his hat in my presence and in the presence of many more Whereas the Marquis Spinola of happy memory gaue mee great thankes for that I was the meanes of freeing those Citizens from such a danger when they opened the gates to the end they might not incurre the extreamest danger The other reason was because as the aforesaid Marquise de Leganes once vpbraided me in a vehement anger and passion in the presence of the a foresayd Marquise Spinola of happy memory I had sometimes giuen the vauntguard to the Italians which as hee thought was due to none but the Spanish according to the order and direction of the Kings Maiestie Moreouer I doe perceiue and finde it sufficiently that the Spanish doe desire my death which also by this appeared when they hauing on a time my picture or portraicture did shoote the same thorough and thorough which is at Bruxels in the streete neere vnto the stone-gate And which is more then all this they would neuer send me the Letter which according to their own relation was written by the King to me concerning the office or place which his Maiesty did proffer me in Spaine and yet notwithstanding they would know my minde and declaration concerning the voyage into Spaine before euer the Letter was deliuered into my hands These and many other discontents so well grounded and giuen mee vpon seuerall occasions which would be too long to relate and would cause all the world to wonder how possibly I could so patiently beare them as also of those manifold wrongs which your honours haue suffered these many yeares and doe yet daily suffer and that withall you now see the poore people so miserably oppressed and ruinated the souldiers not payd but euill entreated doe giue me great hopes that your honours will contribute vnto and assist and further mee in this my designe and resolution and that hence forward you will loath and abhorre the Spanish Gouernment which Spaniards by their daily meetings and assemblies which we call Iuntas haue vtterly spoyled and depraued the whole businesse and matter Wherefore it will bee necessary that your honours be pleased to find out another course vnder the Government of her Highnesse the Arch-duchchesse for the safety rest peace and welfare of the Country vnto which good worke I am assured both Kings and Princes are willing to assist to contribute with all their power And I for mine owne part doe proffer my selfe to serue you with all the affection and fidelity you can expect or require Of your humble seruant Henry Conte De Bergh From Liege the 18. of Iune 1632.

Peters Eue last in the night there were certaine vnknown persons assembled together in the streets who vpon no occasion giuen did beate downe a signe which represented the King of Spaine and not contented therewith they threw stones at the Iesuites Church-doore sang Psalmes and cryed aloud voyce Vive le Prince d'Orange This noise continued two nights together so that vpon Thursday last being the 29. of the last Moneth at 3. a clock in the Morning by order from Court the Drums began to beate and to call vp the Citizens to Armes but all in vaine for the parties who had made the great noyse were gone before the others were assembled neuerthelesse there is a Proclamation that whosoeuer can appeach any of the foresaid offenders shall haue 500.

We haue tydings how that part of Walsteyns forces comming out of Silesia marched through Gorlitz in Lusatia without stay or hurt doing and that they went directly towards Bud●ssen the chiefe of the 6. Townes of the vpper Lusatia But they were scarcely set downe to the siege of it when they were beaten vp againe by the forces of our Duk of Saxony they retyring the same way they came into Silesia againe Generall Wallensteyn hath one where or other neere forty thousand men in his Army The most of which are already vpon the frontiers of Bohemia and Saxony betwixt Luitmeritz and Dresden which hath so much terrified vs in these parts that diuers Marchants of Leipsich haue sent some of their goods downe the Elb vnto Hamborough But hearing his Maiesty of Sweden to bee vpon his march to ayde our Duke against Wallenstein the whole Countrey is very much comforted and no more goods sent away From Minden vpon the Weser the 14. of June 1632.
