not one of his owne men deadly though he that scaped best was lightly wounded Thence he posted with his prisoners back to Fribourg and sent to the Campe whence he heard that the Citie was in an agonie so distressed for want of victuals that at all the prisoners related they had nothing but what they got by stealth in the darkenesse of the night and this was a great extremity though yet was it more necessitated by relation of a Clarke of the band to Captaine S●…mid● a Commander in the Fort who was taken as hee was swimming downe the Rhine with two Burgesses of the Citie to looke out for succours His name was Theobald Fredericke borne in the Diocesse of Altkirken hee was taken Aug. 7 17. and then made this relation That for the space of 7. dayes before there had beene no bread in the City that they had spent what could be made of Akorn●… that the Commander Mercy had given all his horses for meate to the Garrison onely one excepted to incite the other Commanders by his example to doe the like that amongst the whole troupes there were but 11. horses left that the souldiers would bee glad to have the Towne surrendred or taken by assault for they rather desired to dye valiantly than be starved that if they did not receive succour the next day at the farthest the Commander would be forced to surrender yet that hee hoped to have good conditions in respect that hee before time had done a curtesie to the Rhingrave and that there was no Ammunition left except one barrell of powder All this was truth and the next day the Colonell Mercy sent a letter to the Rhingrave in which hee intreated him that himselfe his Officers and Souldiers the Clergie Citizens and inhabitants might freely depart without restraint or molestation which was answered respectfully and Aug. 9 19. articles of composition were signed in the Campe and the Towne surrendred accordingly the tenor whereof followeth Whereas the high borne Earle and Lord the Lord Iohn Philipsen Wildt and Rhinegrave Earle of Salm Lord of Vlushingen c. Generall Major and Commander of the horse by order of the Crowne of Sweden and the confederate Princes was humbly requested by the Noble and valiant Otho Ludolfen and Captaine Ieande Seines agents for the Noble and valiant Frantz Mercye a Colonell of foot and chiefe Commander in Rhinfelden to grant him a faire quarter and honourable termes of composition in that the said Mercy had done nothing during this siege which sorted not with the honour and dignity of a souldier Hereupon he the said Iohn Philipsen c. propounded and the said Mercy accepted these conditions 1 That the souldiers in garrison should march out with swords at their sides bag and baggage be safely conveied to Constance in the way bee accommodated with necessaries lodging and victuals 2 That at their departure they should not pillage the Citizens nor Boores nor receive any goods to carry them away privately and for the performance of this Article the Commander Mercy should give a caution upon the faith of a souldier 3 The Clergie men shall enjoy the liberty of conscience in the free exercise of Religion and not be troubled therefore as in all places where there is the like toleration 4 None of the souldiers shall be compelled to leave the Imperiall Colours and serve under the Crowne of Sweden or the Princes 5 The Citizens shall have the same freedome in matter of Religion which is granted to the Clergie and their priviledges shall be maintained 6 The sicke and wounded souldiers shall be left in Rhinfelden till they bee recovered and in the meane season be provided for as if they served under the Rhinegrave And lastly for the accomplishment of these conditions the Commander Mercy shall this present day surrender the place and all the Forts thereunto belonging with all the pieces of Ordnance great and small the ammunition and other provision to the Rhinegrave if there were any secret mines or hidden fire he should discover it dealing sincerely in all points as it becommeth a Noble Souldier Dated in the Campe before Rhinfelden Aug. 9 19. 1634. During the time of this siege nothing was done in Alsatia but what is expressed else-where and would be in vaine repeated onely the fortification of the Imperiall small Towne of Buckhorne is worth the recording which in this time the Swedes so surrounded with water and strengthened with walls and bulwarks that it is now held impregnable and that they built a ship there after the Holland fashion which carryeth 22. peeces of Ordnance to scoure the Boden-sea or Lake and called it after the name of the Queene of Sweden Christina and that the garrison at their departure uncompelled for herein the Rhine-grave observed the conditions propounded voluntarily and of their owne accord tooke service under the Princes the Commanders onely and the Officers excepted Assoone as he was gone the garrisons in Lindaw Brigents Constance and thereabout as is written out of Schwaben and the Boden-sea August 21 ●… had an enterprise against Buckhorne but were defeated by the Lord Kanoffskye who slew the most part of the Cavallarie dispersed the rest tooke many Officers prisoners and forced the Imperiall Collonel Vitz-thumbe to leape into the water for safeguard of his life where after he had indured by the space of an houre or thereabouts he got into a small ship and so escaped The neighbouring Cantons whose union hath beene kept inviolable for many ages during this time fell into a difference the Catholickes disagreed with the Protestants about the march of the Infante the one yeelding him the other denying his passage thorow the countrey and about the Commander Kesselring whom the Catholicke Cantons had condemned to death but the Protestants and the French King by his agents desired to have restored to the government of Torgaw holding him worthy of that Province which the other did esteeme him deservedly deprived of for some pretended offence The contention was so sharpe that two Diets were called to compose the grievance the one by the Catholicks at Lucerne the other by the Neutrals and Protestants at Solethrane At Lucerne these two questions were propounded upon what grounds they should perswade the Protestant Cantons to keepe the Swedes out of their defenced Townes and how the strong Fort made by the French neere the Rhine in the Grisons countrey might be demolished and at Solethrane it was questioned whom they should make their Generall in the daily expected warre and concluded upon the Rhinegrave whose faith or valour they did not doubt of in redressing those injuries to which they saw themselues exposed they are the words of my Relator by the.
