break out in tempests most dangerous and prejudicial to the Christian World immediately from an upright and sincere intention I sent my Ambassador to his Sacred Imperial Majesty representing the hazard which might follow the Application of too corrosive Medicaments to this Malady and that remiss and mollifying Plaisters were conducible that Souls might be engaged to hope and confide in Regal Clemency least driven to dispair they be prompted to extremities of dangerous consequence to Hungary and all Christendom But this my proposal again and again reiterate and sincerely upright endeavours for publick advantage were heard but with difficulty and returned without a suitable or desired answer the lust of absolute dominion had taken deeper roots than could be pluckt up by words and perswasions The compleat progress and all the actings in the Kingdom did savour violence not Kingly Government nothing required according to Law procured no mans state secure delinquency attended Riches Neither now was the proceedure gradual but with precepitate rage to all manner of affliction It evidently appeared an occasion of converting a free Kingdom to a hereditary long sought after was now voraciously snatched Immediately Violence is practised the glory of liberty undone the Peers and Patriots of Law trod under foot the Nobility banished their predecessors habitations their goods confiscate dignities honours and places of publick trust conferred on Strangers in prejudice of the Kingdoms constitutions moreover a Council of rigorous inquisition institute against liberties assertors or any suspect opposite to their illegal endeavours three Counts judged by a most illegal Process and murdered by the hands of bloody Executioners a memorable instance to the World of their savage cruelty but all this was defective to satiate revenge for the misery of Orphants was augmented by redacting the Children of the slain and banished to Beggery Their seasing the Churches of the reformed was an accessary of this Tragedy in which Fury and excessive madness did rage so impetuously that men might have imagined they waged War against houses set apart for pious uses and the Walls had been Guilty of Rebellion suddenly the Ministers were thrust out from their Congregations and expelled their native Land others forced by the terror of threats to give security no more to Preach did obtain their Lives and Liberties to depart the Nation and many as piacular Sacrifices were condemned to the Gallies a horrid and ever to be abominate presedent that their leading an anxious and miserable Life they might be consumed with grief want of cleanly accomodation hard Labours and Hunger A violent Torrent of Persecution and cursed Tyrannizing over Consciences went on a pace no Marriage to be solemnized nor Baptisme administred but by Roman Ministers men drag'd by Force and Arms to Masses and Processions every where endeavourers to draw back were affected with excessive penalties and pecuniary Mulcts Neither were women exempt from danger who not chargeable with lese Majesty were accused for tears it was a trespass and of dangerous consequence to sigh under misery and weeping over the Sentenced by Death a thing discharged Money was extorted privately and publickly from the misrable Commons by various Stratagems and feigned Names Garisons removed and setled Laws irrogate at pleasure Rapines Plunderings and innumerable Oppressions over all The Exiled Lords provoked by these and other Inexplicable Injuries brought to the Precipise of final overthrow of Life and Fortune destitute of all help from Christians and perceiving no hope of mitigating His Majesty did resolve in this extream necessity to betake themselves to the benignity of the Illustrious Ottoman Soveraignity and implore his Protection against most unjust violence for the relief of the Kingdom and safety of many Innocents Neither was their resolutions in vain their requests ware admitted with small difficulty and whom a hard Lot and extream Rigour had rendred Exiles the Generosity and Condescention of the Ottoman Soveraignity did furnish with refuge security and means for Sustenance Often are the works of the Divine Soveraign so ordered that sudden punishment overtaketh rageing cruelty when secure in success it self least straying should at any time be removed from the wicked or hope utterly detained from afflicted vertue I know many do misconstruct this Act of Extream Necessity and prepostrously slander the Hungarian Nation as degenerate and making defection from Christians but such are either ignorant of the Hungarian Liberty according to fundamental constitution or too active promoters of the Austriack interest It aught to be considered the Austriack Kings were advanced to Crown and Scepter by the suffrages of a free Election the most ancient and righteous form of Government amongst the Hungarians and obleadged by Faith and solemn Oath which solemnity according to custom was performed under the open Heavens to maintain the Nations Liberties from this Faith and Solemn Oath ariseth a formal and true obligation not only necessary for exercing Government-according to the prescript of Laws and tenour of Regal Charter but doth authorize the Palatinate of the Kingdom as the Guardian of Liberty with the Inhabitants to contradict and resist the King degenerating from ordinary and allowed power to savageness and unjust Licence of domineering therefore in case of despairing reduction to due measures Liberty was not annihilate nor the priviledge of procuring protection from whomsoever even from the Ottoman as a neighbouring Monarch Many years are now past since this unfortunate Kingdom placed betwixt two Potentates cut short by the one and trod under foot by the other hath exhibit a most lamentable Tragedy to the World the first never levied War against it nor laid aside Arms without increment to his Empire and the diminition of this counter-mure whence it hath been almost equally subjected to its most potent Neighbour Seeing then this Kingdom bordering on either side with a most potent Monarch is necessitate to sustain their first assault and Force and that the House of Austria hath hitherto sought or intended nothing by Governing but the depression of Hungary and the eversion of its Liberties especially his now Imperial Majesty hath redacted a free People of themselves liberally moderate to dishonourable pusillanimity and most miserable condition whom desparation efficacious in straits and intricacies did Arm and since for the time of Eleven years Banishment they could see no relaxation or hope for removing oppression it did seem more conducing in the case of extream and inevitable necessity to betake themselves to the protection of a most potent Prince and make use of his help than inevitably precepitate the remainder of the Kingdom Neither are the Hungarians the first who have implored Ottoman assistance in their defence Henry and Fredirick Brethren to the King of Castil in the time of Pope Clement the 4th when associate with the Sons of Conradus did call the Saracens by Sea and Land not to defend their Country but to expell the French from Italy Maximillian of Austria that he might repell Force carried on against him but
