vntill the King of Bohemia were setled who should dispose of Businesse at his owne pleasure Vpon the necke of this as wee say there came assurance of the Marquesse of Badens preparation to the Warre who sent word that his Armie was in a readinesse but hee would willingly haue a Campe at Durmishem as being able to keepe the Field himselfe hauing leuied Souldiers and trayned Bands to the number of ten thousand besides Waggons and Munition Carriages and Pioners with all other Furniture belonging to a great Captaine Nay his Customes were so Religious that in the middest of his Troupes hee obserued the Sabboth and commanded both Prayer and Fasting for one Meale in the same whensoeuer hee determined any Attempt or set himselfe a-worke for befitting Enterprises To this you may adde the Arriuall of Palatine Lodowick Phillips at Germersteme and many Friends in other places as true fore-runners of the King of Bohemia's comming indeed Monsieur Tilley all this while ranged vp and downe and sometimes shewed his Horse in the Fields before Ladenberg and sometimes came with his Foot to giue Alarums to Heydelberg and sometimes terrified the Townes with diuers Outrages and at all times watched opportunitie to be reuenged on Count Mansfield or at least to take him at aduantage in some Expedition that hee might acknowledge hee had a Souldier to his Aduersarie and as great a deseruer of Renowne as himselfe In which courses hee continued to the affrighting both of Townes Villages People and the whole Armie till the King of Bohemia came indeede by whose occasion the second Battaile which is promised you chanced as you shall heare hereafter though for my part I could bee contented with the Title of a Skirmish The denomination of Battaile carryes too much terror with it and too much curiositie of distinction as beeing the highest part of Militarie Discipline in which many circumstances are to bee considered as mutuall Agreement a Day appointed the Trenches cast open the maine Forces vnobscured the Troopes orderly marshalled the Cannon placed and in a word a preparation made to Death and Slaughter as you see a Feast appointed to entertaine some great Prince Now came the time the long-wished time of the arriuall of the King into the Palatinate about which there is some disparitie of reports For some will haue his Armie to meet him after his Conuoy from the Duke of Bulloigne Some say hee tooke Waggon for the ease and accommodating his Person and some say hee out-stripped the Armie and came onely with three Post-horse to Gernshem from whence hee spent three seuerall dayes in visiting Mainhem Franckendale and Heydelberg in all which places according to the common acclamations in welcomming their Princes as their Ioy exceeded their Ceremonies augmented and the Prince saw plainly it was no common custome of the peoples welcomming their Princes whosoeuer they be but a heartie desire to shew their loue and obedience vnto him who had ventured his life to come amongst them and would neuer desist till they were recompenced for their losses But it was too soone to begin so effectually and so there passed at this time a reciprocal thankfulnesse and ceremonie betweene them yet in my conscience it lacked some feruency because the ignorant people imputed some vnkindnesse vnto him in regard that by his forsaking of them they were compelled to forsake their houses and inheritances to leaue them to a strangers vsurpation But this aspersion was quickly wiped away with a gentle hand of obseruation and a present entertaining of new ioy especially that they now hoped that these strange Harpies which deuoured their plentie should eyther bee expulsed by the valour of Zetes and Culines or enforced to a composition which might deliuer euery one his portion againe which although it seemed now a little diminished yet they well hoped time and good husbandry would reduce to her pristinate fulnesse and handsomenesse To which they were the rather induced because the Marquesse of Baden hath much augmented Count Mansfields Army by vniting their Forces together and visiting King Frederick who cannot be saluted otherwise nor receiue any Character then the King of Bohemia When these Princes were thus solemnly met and that a Councell of Warre had resolued on some things worthy their presence and so great an Army Monsieur Rauille was discharged and sent home without an answer For they were resolued to haue no Peace but to make way to new fortunes by sharpe Swords In the meane while that these things passed in the Palatinate Bauaria suspecting the worst had raysed more Forces of his owne and had more sent him by the Emperour so that there departed from Vppenhem ouer the Bridge eleuen Troupes of Horse into the Lantgraue of Darmstadts Countrey to ioyne with Tilley at Simpen And thus nothing was expected but Mischiefe and Reuenge on all sides For no body durst looke out of Laudenberg by reason of the Horsemen of Heydelberg which watched them continually nor was there now any thing thought vpon but watching one another to take aduantage for their owne ends and purposes And in this manner stood the Businesse of the Palatinate at this houre and so must rest a while till you heare the newes of Silesia The Duke of Saxony somewhat troubled that Lusatia was denyed him by the Emperour remained rather discontented then pleased and so gaue way to the Princes of Silesia to cal a Diet because of the vprores For the souldiers had mustred themselues to assault Glatz but were repulsed by the yong Earle of Thorn who slue many of them and made them retire with great losse whereupon to preuent the worst he entertained 150. souldiers more who came from Wittingham by which occasion they are so strengthned and hartned that they haue protested to defend themselues to the last man In like manner the other Protestants are much incensed against the Bishops and euery where there is crying out vpon the Catholickes tyranny and wicked Iesuites whereupon the Bishop of News will take from them of Cuntele the vse of their Churches prohibite their assemblies deny the reading of the Scriptures and as ill as Iulian the Apostate debarre the intercourse of Christians now Cuntele is three mile distant from Meuse and was euer a priuiledged place whither they of the religion resort and were prowd againe to be reputed Protestants For although in these places there was some disparity betweene the Caluinists and Lutherans which bred some scandall to the professors yet were they all glad of the generall title of Protestants as you see at this houre the Papists generally reioyce at the name of Catholicke from the Bishops example many Priests and officialls performed the like but the people vnaccustomed to such indignities from murmuring fell to opposition and so stood vpon a guard of defence and began some slender oppositions in many places resorting to the Princes and Lords of the Prouince both in towne and villages desiring them to let them haue the freedome of their
